Chapter 264 Sacrifice to the Southern Region
Chapter 264 Sacrifice to the Southern Region
Dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed, and the whole world trembled.
A deafening dragon roar, filled with boundless majesty and fury, seemed poised to tear the Xuanqing Sect and its allies to shreds.
Two faintly visible golden dragons surged in the clouds, and soon they erupted with a roar that shook the heavens, as well as a mournful and powerless cry of a crane!
Above the giant lotus flower, a divine crane appeared, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden.
That was a blessed phenomenon of the Xuanqing Sect, a symbol of its great fortune.
Because the Xuanqing Sect was too powerful, even the Tianyuan Realm and the Great Dao were forced to extend their protection.
These divine cranes represent the strength of the Xuanqing Sect; their appearance signifies a shift in the Dao.
Within the area affected by these phenomena, all members of the Xuanqing Sect will be protected.
But at this moment, these proud cranes seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, making it increasingly difficult for them to flap their wings.
As the golden dragon of the Great Qian Dynasty approached, it opened its blood-red maw and tore the divine crane to pieces, bite by bite.
With each bite, the divine crane's Daoist essence was torn apart, turning into specks of golden light that dissipated into the world.
No matter where they were, the Xuanqing Sect members all had drastic changes in expression.
They all felt the sect's aura being swallowed up, as if it were being uprooted by an invisible hand!
On the ground, the Great Qian and the Xuanqing Sect were locked in a life-or-death struggle.
And above the heavens, between the Great Dao.
The two sides' resources have been used to launch a fierce battle!
Just now, the two sides had varying levels of momentum, and their fortunes were secretly battling, making it impossible to determine the winner.
We can only wait for the battle below to determine the victor.
But now, Xuanqing Sect is being suppressed and beaten, and the divine cranes are being devoured by the golden dragon one by one.
As one side declined while the other rose, the national power of the Great Qian Dynasty experienced explosive growth.
Upon seeing this scene, Feng Xuanyi felt a surge of regret: "The Great Qian Dynasty has flourished to this extent because of one person!"
It was the Su family, and their youngest child, who caused all of this!
Just when Xuanqing Sect had achieved a surprising victory and was about to secure the win,
The Great Qian Dynasty suddenly conjured up over a hundred million immortal soldiers, not only turning the tide of the battle but also causing the Great Dao to tilt!
Cang Daoyan coldly said, "Hmph, you have angered the darling of the Tianyuan Realm, so the Heavenly Dao will naturally oppose you."
Feng Xuan Yi remained silent, his voice bitter: "Su Yun...you are truly a pleasant surprise."
The things that the youngest son of the Su family did could bring blessings to the entire Tianyuan Realm.
This vast and boundless world has already recognized it as its darling.
The Great Dao operating within the Heavenly Origin Realm has begun to veer wildly, intending to unleash divine punishment upon everyone who attempts to harm it.
The world's punishments may not be immediately apparent, but their impact is far-reaching.
It will take back the original blessings and protection, and may even inflict misfortune and curses.
Today you might slip and fall in dog poop, and tomorrow you might inexplicably be struck by lightning!
Being cursed by a world is something that even the entire Xuanqing Sect, let alone an individual, cannot withstand.
And the Great Qian Dynasty, because of Su Yun's actions, gained an incomparably powerful national fortune.
The Golden Dragon of National Fortune also took advantage of the world's suppression to devour the Divine Crane of National Fortune.
Cang Daoyan coldly said, "Only when you die will the Heavenly Origin Realm be appeased."
"Go for the sake of the sect."
Feng Xuanyi wanted to speak, but then he heard a squishy sound and was crushed into a lump of minced meat.
His strength all came from the Xuanqing Sect, and his fate naturally came from the same place.
If it were any other Great Sage, they might not have been able to kill him so easily.
But Cang Daoyan did it simply, turning his junior brother into a ball of pure energy.
boom!
The golden dragon of national destiny in the sky and the divine crane of fortune are still locked in battle.
But with the culprit Feng Xuanyi gone, the world's will lost its precise target and the suppression vaguely dissipated.
The Xuanqing Sect members in various places felt relieved and somewhat fortunate, but they were still extremely worried.
Tianyuan Realm will no longer target them, but it will also no longer protect them!
From now on, the Xuanqing Sect will continue to decline and will never regain its former glory!
The Saint Realm expert who had been targeted breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile: "Thank you, Sect Master Xuanqing."
He was relieved that he had escaped death and had not been killed by the two Great Sages working together.
Unexpectedly, Cang Daoyan still had a broad perspective and personally dealt with Feng Xuanyi.
Valuing safety, even the holy realm expert had already begun to back down.
The Great Qian Dynasty was in full swing, and the authenticity of those immortal soldiers was unknown, but their combat power far surpassed that of the Heaven Thief.
Seeing that the Xuanqing Sect's plan has failed, if they continue to oppose the Great Qian, they fear that the enemy will come knocking on their door tomorrow.
Presumably, Cang Daoyan killed Feng Xuanyi to minimize losses and prevent the world's will from continuing to target him...
The Saint Realm expert then spoke up: "Sect Master Xuanqing, this battle is meaningless. I, Anzhao Kingdom, will take my leave now!"
Cang Daoyan's cold voice rang out: "Meaningless?"
"No, this is just the beginning!"
The Saint Realm expert was taken aback.
Cang Daoyan took a step forward, his long, white hair swaying in the breeze. He exuded an air of otherworldly elegance, showing no trace of the fact that he had killed his disciples twice.
His booming voice reached the ears of every ally in the Holy Realm: "The demonic soldiers of the Qian Kingdom defy the heavens; they are but a bow in a cup, a snake in water, destined for destruction!"
"But can you expect to live to see the day of your destruction after what you have done today?"
"I'm afraid it won't be long before the demonic troops of the Qian Kingdom reach your border."
"Three hundred years ago, the Southern Region could be blocked by the Cave of Ten Thousand Bones and the Miasma Forest."
"Three hundred years from now, you will be a disorganized mess. Will you still be able to put up a fight?"
The several Saint Realm experts who were engaged in battle with the two Saints of the Su family and the four Saints of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't help but turn their heads, their thoughts complicated.
What demonic weapon? The national fortune that erupted in the Great Qian Dynasty and the favor of the Heavenly Dao both prove that it was not a celestial weapon, but it was not far off!
Ancient texts record that every darling of the world became a great emperor and achieved unparalleled feats.
Looking at it today, it seems that Emperor Cheng is already a foregone conclusion regarding Daqian Suyun.
Now, these powerful figures from the Southern Region are filled with a thousand regrets.
Why come all the way to the Central Region to oppose the behemoth that is the Great Qian?
There is now a future emperor and a powerful force known as the Celestial Soldiers.
If we retreat today, I fear that within two days, the army of the Qian Kingdom will be able to press on our border.
In the Southern Region, many of the hundred kingdoms need to share the Dragon Vein, and nine out of ten small kingdoms cannot even gather enough to form a single sacred realm.
This group of weak forces was an alliance that Xuanqing Sect painstakingly and kindly sought to achieve.
Unexpectedly, such a powerful force did not cause the Great Qian to lose a single soldier!
A hundred years ago, the Xuanqing Sect, along with a hundred other kingdoms, launched a surprise attack and destroyed the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
The wealth and resources of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons allowed the Hundred Kingdoms to enjoy a good life for a hundred years.
They thought they could once again recreate their glory and devour the corpses of the Great Qian.
Unexpectedly, not only did I not gain any benefits, but I also watched helplessly as the other party's most treasured possession was destroyed!
The gazes of the Saints towards Cang Daoyan were now tinged with resentment.
If it weren't for the invitation from the Xuanqing Sect, why would they have thought of opposing the Qian Kingdom!
Now that we've angered this behemoth, how are we supposed to live in the future?
Cang Daoyan seemed to have expected this, and said coldly, "You wouldn't be so naive as to think that the Great Qian would let you off, would you?"
"Now that things have come to this, you know the options you have."
The Saints exchanged glances, their hearts filled with disappointment.
At this point, there is no possibility of peace talks with the Qian Kingdom.
This behemoth is now quite willing to stop and let them leave.
But once they recover, with ten Saint Realm experts and these celestial soldiers, the Hundred Kingdoms of the Southern Region will be plunged into a devastating war!
The Saints harbored resentment, and the Xuanqing Sect exploited their desires, tricking them into being bound to the war chariot.
Cang Daoyan is right, there is only one way now!
The Saint Realm expert from Anzhao Kingdom gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll listen to you one last time!"
Just now, Feng Xuanyi was about to betray them, but now there was no other way.
A sinister smile appeared on Cang Daoyan's cold face: "Then—sacrifice!"
"Father, it's really done!" The Crown Prince of Daqian beamed with joy.
The 100,000 men from Cheng'an County were called "Immortal Soldiers," but that was a self-proclaimed title.
His strength was extraordinary, and he was able to kill the extraterrestrial demons far beyond expectations.
But 100,000 people alone are not enough to turn the tide.
When Emperor Qian was about to use the power of the dragon vein, the three women of the Su family unexpectedly created over a hundred million immortal soldiers with a single sword strike!
Such immense power secured victory in no time.
The life-or-death crisis of Qiandu was thus resolved.
Emperor Qian remained calm, but his expression was filled with joy: "Good Su Yun, I hereby bestow upon you the title of One-Word Parallel King!"
The Su family's status is beyond question; having three sages in one family is enough to prove their strength.
Su Yun is of paramount importance.
Even now, Su Moling is still confused and doesn't know what the celestial soldiers in the sky have to do with her.
Clearly, she was just a tool.
The core of it is something that Su Yun just gave us!
That sword strike caused over a hundred million soldiers to consume the True Immortal Valley, elevating their life level.
In that instant, a long time passed, and he learned a technique called "Shenglong Nest Immortal Record".
Su Yun is a true hero, and no reward is too much for him.
Crown Prince Qin Changqing exclaimed excitedly, "Now that the Heaven Thief has been eliminated, the Xuanqing Sect must be about to retreat."
Emperor Qian calmed down, his eyes sharpened again, and he firmly memorized all the figures in the sky.
The enemy that invades the Great Qian today will be wiped out in blood in the future!
boom!
Suddenly, dozens of terrifying auras burst forth from the infinitely distant horizon.
Its aura was so powerful that even the Great Qian Dynasty, hundreds of millions of miles away, could clearly sense it.
Qin Changqing's expression changed: "What is that?"
He clutched his chest, a deep, indescribable sorrow welling up within him.
The supervisor turned his head and looked south, his eyes deep: "Young man from the Southern Region, what a grand gesture!"
Emperor Qian was taken aback, his expression turning furious: "You also have families and countries, do you know what you are doing!"
"How dare you commit such a wicked act as sacrificing living beings!"
The allies invited by the Xuanqing Sect are all powerful figures from the Hundred Kingdoms of the Southern Region.
Only a few major powers among the hundred kingdoms of the Southern Region are capable of cultivating a Saint Realm.
Or rather, only countries with sacred sites can become great.
The appearance of this group of holy beings indicates that the hundred kingdoms of the Southern Region have united and formed an allied force with the Xuanqing Sect.
Local forces such as the Grand Gu Master and the Little Miasma Ancestor also got involved.
All for the sake of recreating the glory of destroying the Demon Kingdom a hundred years ago.
The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is incredibly powerful; it is the largest force among the demon race in the Heavenly Origin Realm.
But it also vanished into thin air during the Jiazi Exorcism, turning into a historical bubble.
Some speculate that the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was successfully conquered because of betrayal by its allies and the presence of traitors within its ranks.
Regardless of the reason, after the incomparably powerful Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom died, its corpse was divided and devoured by the Hundred Kingdoms of the Southern Region.
They ate until they were stuffed and became much stronger.
It was because of their pleasant cooperation with the Xuanqing Sect that they dared to join this time, hoping to recreate their former glory.
After the Qian Kingdom demonstrated its strength, it was thought they would retreat.
Unexpectedly, instead of leaving, they began sacrificing living beings!
That infinitely distant place is where large-scale human sacrifice has begun within the Hundred Kingdoms of the Southern Region!
The inhuman resentment caused the world's will to grieve.
The cycle of birth and death is the norm, but such inhumane behavior still offended the will of Heaven.
A light drizzle began to fall throughout the entire Tianyuan Realm.
It was as if the world itself was weeping, revealing its sorrow for the tragedy that was unfolding and the calamity that was to come.
Swish swish!
Meng Wuchen, Shuxiajian, and other Saint Realm experts stopped attacking the ragtag army in Cheng'an County. Now that the Thief of Heaven has been almost wiped out, it is pointless to continue targeting these people.
They flashed and rushed into the battle circle of the Four Saints of the Great Qian Dynasty.
After a barrage of attacks, both sides became wary of each other and immediately ceased hostilities.
The Great Gu Master and his companions breathed a sigh of relief after escaping from the Great Sage's grasp and quickly returned to the lotus flower.
Of the original ten Saint Realm experts, only nine remain.
Faced with the Great Qian Dynasty, they had become the weaker party.
Such a change is truly disheartening.
