Chapter 1434: Launch a Full-Scale Offensive Against the Ten Thousand Races Alliance's Eighteen Regions!

Two Combined Dao Divine Lords unleashed ferocious pressure, their killing intent overwhelming, closing in.

Yet the Soul Transformation cultivator before them reacted with unusual calm, which was strange, for no one knew why.

Buzz!

In the sky, the tens of billions-strong fleet of the Eastern Extreme Demon Gate cast a single cold, warning gaze toward here.

"..."

The Black Heaven Divine Lord and the Five Qi Divine Lord felt their souls tingle slightly.

The two froze motionless right there.

After a moment of silence, the two silently departed, no longer seeking their own humiliation.

A pure white beam of light projected down along the crack in the Hidden Heaven Pavilion, fell upon Jiang Ding, drew him in, dragged him toward the center of the Immortal Gate Central Army Group fleet, and returned him once more to the citizenry.

"Kill!"

The great experts of the Black Tortoise Sky Palace, who were locked in fierce combat with the Immortal Gate fleet, saw this scene and all went mad.

Some of them, as if by instinct, burned their essence blood, unleashed terrifying power, and in an instant struck out a blow that forced the Immortal Gate fleet back, seizing a tremendous advantage.

"Pfft!"

However, just at this moment, the eight great experts turned deathly pale, spat great mouthfuls of blood, and their auras plummeted drastically.

The Nine Spirits Pact!

A peace pact signed thousands of years ago between the Eight Great Immortal Sects and the Immortal Gate.

This pact was not a flimsy piece of paper; it contained substantial, terrifying power. Although the Immortal Gate and the Eight Great Immortal Sects had been attempting to break it over the years and had achieved many results, this was why the eight Immortal Sect experts suffered no backlash the instant they breached the pact.

However, after holding out for so long, the limit had finally been reached.

In this instant, their power suddenly dropped.

"Enough..."

"The decree of heaven, the decree of heaven is thus..."

The expert of the Heavenly Secrets Immortal Sect looked desolate.

Without even a single breath of hesitation, and even before the pact's backlash struck, he had already begun to flee, fleeing far away from the battlefield.

Out of strategic interest for the Heavenly Secrets Immortal Palace, he did not flee alone but simultaneously notified the other seven Immortal Sects.

The other seven Immortal Sect experts reacted just as swiftly; they had fled a step ahead before the pact's backlash arrived, vanishing in an instant.

This battlefield of fierce slaughter returned to calm within a single breath.

Even if the eight Immortal Sect experts could not defeat the Immortal Gate, fleeing posed no problem at all; the gap between the two sides was not vast.

Here, only the Immortal Gate's fleet remained hovering in the sky.

At this very moment, the Immortal Gate's power undoubtedly held an overwhelming dominant position, fully capable of attempting to confront all forces in the Ancient God Domain: the Demon God Sect, the Ten Thousand Races Alliance, and the Nine Great Immortal Sects; with a single gate's strength, it could defeat dozens of Combined Dao Divine Lords, occupying a vast cluster of worlds before the ancient Heavenly Human awakened.

"How to respond

..."

Many Immortal Gate Void Refinement cultivators showed signs of being stirred, unleashing cold killing intent.

At the same time, the three major powers of the Ancient God Domain also halted their struggle for the inheritance and opportunities of the Ancient God Dao, gradually drawing closer, and looked at that vast fleet spanning the starry sky with gazes filled with killing intent.

The Immortal Gate fleet's legion will scanned across, rudely probing the various aspects of these Combined Dao Divine Lords.

"Very crude."

"There are no efficient great formations among them; their magic power and divine sense even clash violently with one another... As for their stances, there are numerous grudges, making it difficult to act in unison..."

"The situation matches the observation results of the Great Sun Canghai Tianjun..."

The Immortal Gate General Staff rapidly drew out one piece of intelligence after another.

Many Immortal Gate officers showed contempt.

Great formations, the profound arts of army formations combining offense, defense, and slaughter, require countless blood and sweat, countless efforts, and countless luck to master and produce results.

How could a group of strong ones gathered together achieve such a thing easily in such a short time?

If it were truly so, there would be no rabble in the world.

Now, judging solely by strength, the Immortal Gate fleet possesses the power to sweep through many major forces in the Ancient God Domain!

"First,"

"Where are the Heavenly Secrets Divine Lord and the others? Will they launch a sudden attack while our battle is fierce? How shall we handle ourselves then?"

Yuan, having sensed the unrest within the army, asked slowly.

"Second, if these dozens of Combined Dao Divine Lords flee, we cannot annihilate the majority; the majority will inevitably escape. If they then launch surprise attacks and sabotage our rear, what shall we do?"

"You must know, the Immortal Gate fleet cannot split into dozens; once scattered, our strength will weaken drastically."

"If we cannot exterminate them, we cannot effectively control the many realms of the Ancient God Domain; instead, we will fall into an endless war of attrition, further delaying our march to unify the Ancient God Domain."

"And time is life!"

"That terrifying Heavenly Human could awaken at any moment..."

Yuan whispered.

"Agreed."

Jiang Ding gave his opinion.

"I believe..."

Many Immortal Gate officers also gave their opinions.

The Immortal Gate fleet's collective will fell into thought.

The final result was that the vast majority agreed with Yuan's opinion.

They approved adopting the method of slowly boiling a frog against the many forces of the Ancient God Domain, delaying and waiting for change, waiting for the Great Sun Canghai Tianjun to advance to Void Refinement, and waiting until the Immortal Gate had no weaknesses in individual experts, before launching a full-scale decisive battle.

In fact, this result was almost predetermined.

With elders like Senior Wanji True Sovereign and Zhenjun Shenji True Sovereign, whose prestige could rival Yuan's, not present, and Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun raising no objection, many powerful Immortal Gate cultivators would instinctively agree with the vast majority of Yuan's views.

Because Yuan's prestige was simply too high, and through past years of history he had proven himself time and again—no one would think their own viewpoint more correct than his.

Within the Immortal Gate Central Army Group, in fact, Yuan held the power of arbitrary decision.

"Reverse the marching direction."

"After occupying the Tian Yuan Domain supply corridor, dispatch the Ninth Army Group and the Senior Wanji Army Group to hold it fast, ensuring it cannot be breached by outside enemies in the short term. Then we advance immediately upon the Eighteen Domains of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance!"

Having received authorization from the Immortal Gate Central Army Group Committee, Yuan commanded: "The domain clusters of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance will, from this day forth, be fertile ground for the Immortal Gate. Countless Immortal Gate citizens will grow within these domains, and the Immortal Gate's Dao Merging cultivators will truly emerge after swallowing up countless domains."

Having obtained authorization from the Immortal Gate Central Army Group Committee, Yuan commanded: "The myriad-races alliance domain clusters will, from now on, be fertile ground for the Immortal Gate. Countless Immortal Gate citizens will grow within these domains, and the Immortal Gate's Dao-Unification cultivators will truly emerge after annexing countless domains."

"Any who obstruct—exterminate them all!"

Yuan spoke, killing intent surging.

"Yes!"

The many officers revealed excited, eager expressions, immediately saluting.

Under the tense and inexplicably bewildered gazes of the Dao Merging Divine Monarchs of the various Ancient God Domains, the Immortal Gate's Central Army Group fleet of several billion ships left the battlefield, flying toward an unknown direction.

This left them suspicious and uneasy for a long time.

However, after several months passed without any anomaly, these Ancient God Domain Dao Merging Divine Monarchs—who already harbored considerable grudges against one another—plunged into chaotic life-and-death battles for the sake of the inheritance above Dao Merging and the many fortuitous opportunities that had appeared.

At this moment when great change was about to be born, every Dao Merging Divine Monarch had a string drawn taut in their heart, desperate to grow stronger in order to preserve themselves and their sects; their tempers flared several times over.

It was not that no one knew the necessity of unity and alliance.

In fact, all the Dao Merging Divine Monarchs knew it.

Yet they knew even more clearly that even if the various powers of the Ancient God Domains formed a massive alliance under outside pressure—the 'Ancient God Alliance'—its interior could not possibly be harmonious and friendly; brutal competition existed within it as well, and the slightest carelessness would mean the destruction of both oneself and one's sect.

Who says that just because someone is an ally, they will be harmonious and friendly, and not annihilate you?

The weak must die! Must perish!

This point does not change because of any situation.

In this present moment when many fortuitous opportunities have appeared, the several dozen Dao Merging Divine Monarchs of the Ancient God Domains have fallen into life-and-death battles, in utter chaos—much to the disappointment of Tianji Divine Monarch and others who had been lurking in the distance, waiting for an opportunity.

After some hesitation, they likewise gave up on striking against the Ancient God Domain forces, retrieved their own sect's Dao Child, and departed from this place.

After a moment's hesitation, they likewise gave up on making a move against the Ancient God Domain's forces, retrieved their own sect's Dao Child, and left the area.
