Chapter 1239: The Sky Foxes
Planet Tianxu is vast and beautiful. Its design gave it an ancient yet modern take on Chinese culture. From the air to the way they dress. Everything about them is just too ancient in a way.
It has three races - Humans, Spirit Beasts, and Sky Foxes.
The Spirit Beasts are, of course, the strongest of them. Among them, the Spirit Rocs rule the entirety of the beast race. They are very powerful, but they aren’t stronger than humans alone.
However, while the Sky Foxes are also of the beast race, long ago they chose to separate themselves from the rest of the beast race and took refuge in the Sky City. It is a large floating island that is surrounded by illusion.
Naturally, they made this decision because of how Humans and other races treated them. As the weakest race in Tianxu, they are mainly at the mercy of the Humans and the Beasts.
So with only their strongest suit being illusions, when the chance came for them to run, they did... That was 5000 years ago.
However, 5000 years is a relatively long time for the sneaky Humans and the Beast race to find a way to break the illusion and assert their dominance over the Sky Fox race once again.
Three days ago, they made headway, and since then, under the constant assault of 3200 Heavenly Ascension-stage cultivators, the illusion that had protected the fragile and most beautiful race on Planet Tianxu was destroyed.
On the other side of the illusion, 700 Heavenly Ascension-stage warriors stood, each ready to fight for their people. The suppression they had endured for thousands of years wasn’t one they would ever want to return to.
So if it came down to it, they would use their lives to get what they want.
"Old Lady Yuyin, just surrender already. You are surrounded and outnumbered. Going into offence is just a way to make things quick and easy for us," Tianpeng, the Heaven-Stepping Spirit Roc King, leader of the Spirit Roc race, said, his expression filled with lust and desire.
On Planet Tianxu, he is regarded as the strongest of them all, thanks to his speed and combat style. In the past, he was the one who ensured the Sky Foxes were suppressed.
Looking down at the 100,006 Sky Foxes on the floating island, one could see the untamed desire to suppress and rule over them.
Beside him, the lustful desires of the other leaders could be seen and even felt in the air. They all want to possess the Sky Foxes thanks to their beauty and, well, their bed game.
It was said that a night with a Sky Fox is a night to remember.
The men want the female Sky Foxes, and the women want the male Sky Foxes.
The one Tianpeng referred to as Old Lady stood calmly, eight fluffy tails billowing behind her. One could tell she is both angry and weary.
Aside from her, the rest have seven tails and below, showing her authority as the strongest among the Sky Foxes.
Although Tianpeng referred to her as Old Lady, she, in fact, looks relatively younger than most of the youngsters there, despite living for close to 60,000 years already.
She led her people to the floating island 5000 years ago. Today, she stood before them again with hope that today, too, shall pass.
"My Sky Fox race will not become a plaything to your kind ever again." She pointed at a Human man standing in front of the Humans who had come to attack the floating island.
He is about 40; however, he is much older than that. He is the leader of the Humans, Yun Wusheng and the one person Liora wanted dead more than anything.
"The Sky Priestess trusted you to protect my kind. However, you not only killed her, but you even colluded with the demons to kill her daughter, your own daughter.
She gave you everything you have today. However, instead of repaying kindness with kindness, you turned into a backstabbing cocksucker who only knows how to bend for the Beast.
Are you not ashamed to even show your face here?"
Yun Wusheng’s expression turned sour hearing what Yuyin said. Those words were bitter to hear. Although she appeared harmless and innocent on the surface, her words were in fact much more bitter than they should be.
However, what she said was indeed true.
In the past, the Humans protected them, and in return, they aided them with their cultivations using illusion. It was a profitable alliance, one that lasted for a while.
However, when the Fox Priestess who married Yun Wusheng was killed, the Humans revealed their true colours. Now, it seems they had fallen much deeper now that the Beasts had them wrapped around their pinky.
The Beasts had always had this predatory authority that made them think the entirety of Planet Tianxu was theirs to rule.
So while the Sky Fox posed no threat to them, suppressing them and using them as their pawns would, of course, benefit them in the long run.
It was just that the Humans aren’t weak either. In fact, the Humans are much more resilient than the Beasts would like to admit.
Yun Wusheng has many secrets up his sleeve that scare both the Beasts and the Sky Fox. So while Tianpeng addressed Yuyin, her reply was directed toward Yun Wusheng.
In her mind, the main threat is the humans.
"I won’t waste words on you, Yuyin. You and I know that at the end of the day, your kind would have to bow to us or risk getting annihilated.
It is a written rule that went into effect the moment your useless priestess stood in my way to greatness. So I will advise you to surrender and let us have what we came here for."
Yun Wusheng sneered, his expression showing signs of lust and evil.
"My Sky Fox race will not bow to your kind or anybody. So if you want a fight, then you will get one." Yuyin turned to her right, then to her left.
The expressions on her people’s faces broke her heart. They are afraid, but they didnt want to show it. They want to look brave for the young ones.
"We either fight or go back to being slaves. I refuse to be a slave to useless men. So I will fight with all I have... that includes my life."
Her words spread throughout the floating island, causing mothers to cover their children in their protective embraces, creating the illusion that they would be protected as long as they remained with them.
The warriors also tightened their holds on their staffs, ready to weave illusions that they knew deep down would only prolong the inevitable.
"If you carry the pride of the Sky Fox, then even in your dying breath, do not surrender to these filths calling themselves Humans. Show them the spirit of the Sky Fox and die with a smile on your faces."
She took a deep breath, then her eyes emitted a faint pink mist... "Activate the Sky Killing Array."
In an instant, a large array opened over the sky, manifesting a colossal Eight-Tailed Fox. The feeling of dread instantly fell on everyone.
"ATTACK!"
All around, the Beasts and the Humans activated their skills and techniques and charged forward.
However, before any of them could get near the floating island, a suffocating darkness erupted and instantly covered the entirety of the floating city.
All who were 200 meters away from the floating city were swallowed by the darkness and instantly erased from existence.
