Chapter 2133: The Great Tribulation Appears Once More in the Endless Starry Sky

Four times the number of Supreme beings, or even more!

The hearts of the many Supreme Elder cultivators of the Grand Sun Heavenly Palace present trembled.

Although they had long known this intelligence beforehand, when it was spoken aloud by someone, they still found it unbelievable—the gap in numbers was far too great.

Clearly both sides were True Immortal factions—why was there such a disparity?

"Lords, just think about the wars that unified the various star domains and you'll know."

Jin Yu Zhi said in a somewhat low voice: "Unifying the Heavenly Wolf Star Domain, unifying each star domain—how many eight-tribulation Supreme-level alien powers did we annihilate? Add up the number of those eight-tribulation Supreme beings—what does it come to?"

"This is the reason for our current predicament."

"We will be stronger in the future. Whether in number or strength, our Supreme beings will far surpass the present True Dragon Fortune Immortal Dynasty. But not now—right now we are in a tremendous strategic disadvantage."

"Our luck is poor. We made contact with another True Immortal faction too early. If we had another several hundred thousand years, it certainly would not be like this."

"Another reason is that the myriad races' living beings are of all kinds, each the product of various excellent outcomes in evolution. There will always be one or two races that form a counter to us—this cannot be avoided."

The hall fell silent.

The Holy Maiden of Fusang looked toward the many Supreme beings and asked for their opinions.

No Supreme being voiced opposition to Jin Yu Zhi's view.

"So that's how it is…"

"Then it was I who wronged you, my lord."

The Holy Maiden of Fusang's voice softened: "On military matters, I do not know much. I ask that you, my lord, and all fellow Daoists work together with one heart to overcome this difficulty. Whatever support you need, I will do my utmost to provide, and do my utmost to coordinate."

"I ask that all of you keep the greater picture in mind."

"Yes!"

"Your Highness!"

One Supreme being after another rose and bowed.

The prestige and status of the Supreme beings of the Holy Land of Fusang were recognized by all the Supreme beings.

The existence of the Holy Land of Fusang likewise greatly eased the internal conflicts within the Grand Sun Dao Court, serving as a lubricant among the various organizations.

The military conference continued to advance.

The many Supreme beings discussed repeatedly, then formulated a new operational plan.

"…Strengthen the formations throughout the star domains, wear them down repeatedly, buy time with delay and await change…"

"…The Dao Court Academy of Sciences is currently developing spells targeting the myriad races' armies, and urgently needs the help of all Supreme beings… the Yin-Yang Imperial Heaven is highly skilled in this direction—might we obtain their support?"

"…Time is on our side…"

After the emergency meeting, the many Supreme beings hurried off in all directions to reinforce the military forces in each region.

……

At the center of the Grand Sun Heavenly Palace, the Grand Sun Sword Immortal gazed at the battle situations across the many star domains.

The situation was not good.

Beginning from the Heavenly Wolf Star Domain, unfavorable battle situations had appeared in many star domains. Numerous Great Thousand World clusters had been lost, and the mortals and cultivators who lived and multiplied within them had been exterminated and perished on a massive scale—utterly cruel.

The great army of the True Dragon Fortune Immortal Dynasty began to sweep across all directions, causing extremely severe damage to production between the star domains.

Many of the Grand Sun Dao Court's industrial chains had been destroyed, forcing them to seek new substitutes.

Affected by the war, all aspects of immortal Dao productivity were declining.

This was the disadvantage of fighting on one's home ground.

The advantage was that one could use formations to strengthen oneself, and abilities such as troop deployment, mobility, and logistical supply would also be far stronger than the enemy's.

"If time is drawn out, the battle situation will gradually turn."

"If it cannot be drawn out, the battle situation will collapse…"

Jiang Ding said lightly.

Now it was the clash of two True Immortal paths, two immortal Dao systems—the outcome was hard to predict.

However, there was one thing.

Even if the Grand Sun Dao Court's army were entirely wiped out, he would not be doomed to defeat. He would merely face a stronger enemy and be forced to fight from a position of disadvantage, that was all.

The Grand Sun Sword Immortal—the strongest, most decisive fighting power had always been only his own sword!

"Mm?"

"This is… the aura of a Great Tribulation?"

Suddenly, Jiang Ding looked toward a certain direction.

Great Tribulation.

This was something he had heard of back when he first came to the Fallen Immortal Realm. It appeared once every hundred-some thousand years, and once every million-plus years there would be a concentrated eruption of tribulation qi. The destruction of the previous generation's many immortal sects in the Fallen Immortal Realm was related to this.

In fact, according to the Grand Sun Dao Court's current research, the Great Tribulation did not only appear in the Fallen Immortal Realm, but appeared in many Great Thousand Worlds throughout the Endless Starry Sky, and the timing was almost the same period. Each time it appeared, it triggered the destruction and birth of many powers throughout the Endless Starry Sky.

However, for many years now, the Great Tribulation had ceased to appear.

According to top-secret research by the Grand Sun Dao Court, the disappearance of the Great Tribulation was related to the birth of a True Immortal at that time. After the True Immortal was born, the tribulation qi dispersed, as if severely disrupted—the mechanism was unknown.

……

"Great Tribulation?"

"Ridiculous!"

"It's nothing more than the rotting corpse left behind in history…"

In the Ten Thousand Dragons Imperial Hall, the Fortune True Dragon Son, just like the Grand Sun Sword Immortal, looked toward a certain direction at the same time and said lightly.

It was a certain place within the Heavenly Wolf Star Domain.

While the two True Immortals were locked in confrontation and had no spare strength, certain foul-smelling things had come out again to stir up trouble.

……

Sirius Starfield.

The human race's great army collapsed in defeat, retreating to the rear. The myriad races' great army advanced triumphantly, occupying numerous great thousand worlds, setting up formations, and after securing the rear, continued to push forward, driving the battle line once more toward what had once been the enemy's rear.

On one battlefield, numerous starry cockroaches, numerous True Dragon Supreme-beings, and numerous human Supreme-beings of the myriad races' great army joined forces to besiege a great thousand world, battering its great formation until it swayed unsteadily, the formation wavering and unstable.

Not until a stretch of resplendent orbital Law-Destroying Cannons suddenly fired in unison from the edge of the sky, blasting apart swathes of the great army and numerous Supreme-beings, was the offensive here finally halted.

"Not good!"

"It's the Sword Immortal's Guard Corps! The Ghost Law-Destroying Fleet!"

The faces of the myriad races' Supreme-beings changed; they fled in all directions, then suddenly accelerated, charging toward that deep-space fleet that had appeared out of nowhere in the distance.

The Ten Great Deep-Space Ghost Law-Destroying Fleets!

In Dragon Court intelligence, these were an extremely fearsome combat force—the Sword Immortal's sect fleet, renowned for concealment, high mobility, high destructive power, and sharp reconnaissance. They always appeared suddenly, struck from afar with sneak bombardments, then vanished like ghosts, impossible to guard against; even laying traps many times had failed to catch them.

Divination was utterly useless—even the True Dragon Your Majesty's divination was useless.

The clash between the two True Immortals had completely obscured cause and fate; the once unfailingly effective tracking and locking were now greatly failing.

The myriad races' Supreme-beings pursued for a while without result, and with no choice could only cautiously continue their assault on the great thousand world.

On this battlefield, countless lives were perishing—humans, dragons, the myriad races alike.

No Supreme-being noticed that at some unknown moment, a blood-sea-like vortex had appeared in the sky.

This blood-sea vortex emanated a terrifying attractive force, greedily devouring the life-origins that drifted loose between the countless perishing lives on the battlefield, gulping and swallowing its saliva, taking these fresh, scalding life-origins into its belly.

Not only here at Sirius, but on every battlefield where lives were perishing, such blood-sea vortices had appeared.
