Chapter 2620

"Your Majesty,"

"The Solar Ancient Emperor, the Northern Dipper Ancient Emperor, and the Lunar Ancient Emperor each sent a unit of Dao soldiers, their strength roughly equivalent to one of the nine major Dao soldier units from the era of the First Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Chao."

Fusang appeared behind the blue-clad youth at some unknown time, speaking softly.

Now, in the age when the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture has emerged and Dao soldiers have been fully updated and replaced, the strength of the former Nine-Character Forbidden Zone Immortal Dynasty's Dao soldiers has become that of frontline troops, no longer transcendent elites.

This is the sentiment of humanity.

The only dignity lies in this.

"Send them to the battlefield, neither favoring nor discriminating against them; if they refuse to obey military orders, they may be executed on the spot; if they achieve merit, they shall be rewarded as usual."

Jiang Ding spoke calmly.

This point of human dignity still seems useful.

This point of dignity is the Three Great Human Ancient Emperors declaring their stance: they will not participate in the encirclement of other races, will strictly uphold neutrality, and toward the Nine Great Ancient Emperors, they likely have similar intentions.

"Your Majesty,"

"The General Staff's opinion is to delay as much as possible, to fight a protracted war." The General Staff sent a meeting suggestion from afar; the Immortal Dynasty's General Staff is not merely a group of professional staff officers, but a manifestation of power derived from the three great sectarian spirit Ancient Emperors, the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor, and the Great Dream Sword Realm's computational support, enabling them to forecast the future—only thus can they respond to the current endless starry sky war situation.

Without sufficient Immortal Dao stature, no matter how astonishing your wisdom, it is useless.

"We have already completed the initial Immortal Dao industrialization."

"Among the cultivators we have trained, a large number of Soul Transformation cultivators have emerged, and there are some Unity Dao cultivators; they have already joined various Dao soldier units, becoming part of them. Currently, from the level of mid-to-low rank soldiers and officers, we are gradually accumulating advantages and widening the gap."

"Our industrial system is continuously producing various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, magical treasures, and warships."

"If we can enter a protracted war, it will be advantageous for us."

The report came from afar.

He handed over a detailed report.

Jiang Ding received the report, read it carefully and calculated for a long time, then signed his name on the report, endorsing the General Staff's views.

……

Hundreds of years passed slowly.

Now, in the outer reaches of the Tai Shang Da Ri realm, armies stand densely packed, silent and still. Above the high heavens, the palaces of the Nine Great Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperors have likewise descended; the Nine Emperors jointly deduce the heavenly Dao, nine great Dao stretch across the sky, laying bare layer upon layer of causal fog, revealing all the intelligence of the Tai Shang Da Ri realm before the Nine Emperors—including each Dao soldier unit and the garrisons of each detachment.

Even the slightest flaw in a formation is revealed.

The profundity of the heavenly mechanism and causal calculation demonstrated is truly shocking.

"Oh?"

"Which Dao friend made a move?"

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

The Nine Emperors jointly deducing causality to obtain intelligence on the Dao soldiers of the Tai Shang Da Ri realm is normal, as is obtaining information about the situation in various parts of the Tai Shang Da Ri realm.

But to easily obtain the weakness of the Heavenly Origin Tai Shang Da Ri Slaying Demon Sword Formation—the current foremost Immortal Formation—is exceedingly rare.

"Back then, the Tai Shang Da Ri was not mistaken."

"Indeed, there is a Dao friend scheming against him, deeply hidden among the emperors, having made the Undying Ancient Emperor a scapegoat."

The Wilderness Rock Dragon Emperor laughed hollowly.

"The fortune of this Undying Dao friend is truly..." The surrounding Ancient Emperors momentarily felt a chill down their spines.

The Undying Ancient Emperor is truly not weak.

He is destined to advance to the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture within decades, is one of them, not inferior to anyone, yet due to being arbitrarily blamed, he died wrongfully, which is truly laughable.

If back then, a single thought had differed, and it had not been the Undying Ancient Emperor but one of them instead—how would it have been?

Tai Shang Da Ri deserves death!

That person who schemed against him, shifting causality onto others, also deserves death!

"Undying senior……humph!"

"First kill Tai Shang Da Ri, then speak of other matters!"

The Undying Ancient Emperor of the Phoenix Immortal Clan spoke coldly.

If the Undying Ancient Emperor had not died, the Phoenix Immortal Clan would now possess two Eight-Character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperors, instantly putting them at great ease.

The favorable situation has passed.

In this, the Tai Shang Da Ri Ancient Emperor seemingly choosing a person at random is in fact deliberate—suppressing any race outside humanity, preventing any single race from becoming too strong. "Hahaha!"

"The Undying Dao friend speaks rightly!"

"First kill Tai Shang Da Ri!"

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor laughed loudly: "First break his turtle shell, then drag him out and slash him to death with a thousand cuts, ten thousand slices, destroying his body and soul."

"Let this Dao friend know that we too have the wrath of Lei Ting!"

"Hahaha……"

This Ancient Emperor, the only one in the endless starry sky to bear the name of Sword Emperor, laughed heartily.

Boom—

Under the will of the Nine Great Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperors, countless elite Dao soldiers surged toward the Tai Shang Da Ri realm!

Transcendent elite units, ordinary frontline units, and second-line units each advanced in echelon formation toward the various star domains of Tai Shang Da Ri, with battle cries, slaughter, flesh turning to mush, and life fading away.

The endless starry sky enjoyed a brief peace, then plunged once more into terrifying war!

"Tai Shang Da Ri!" "Come, let us contend with you!"

Above the high heavens, the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor and the Eight Great Ancient Emperors spoke in unison.

The next moment, terrifying Daoist killing techniques like a destroying dragon surged toward the central Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Palace of the Tai Shang Da Ri realm, destroying heaven and earth.

With one sword, the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor caused ten million billion weeds to sprout; sword intent boundless and endless, sword slashes cut the essence of living beings' souls.

The Wilderness Rock Dragon Emperor pushed out a palm, as if pressing down ten billion primordial divine mountains, like unleashing a black hole that devours all, causing the waves of the Heavenly Origin Tai Shang Da Ri Slaying Demon Sword Formation to surge and fluctuate.

The ancient horn of the Azure Bull Ancient Emperor traced a line, cleaving the entire star river, the Dao shattered……

When the Nine Great Eight-Character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperors made their move, the heavens darkened and the earth grew dim, sun and moon lost their light, the entire universe seemed to plunge into chaos and destruction, even time itself fell into disorder!

This is the most terrifying attack in history, directed at a single living being!

Many powerful ones fell into extreme fear at this moment, their immortal souls trembling and shuddering, they stared fixedly toward the direction of the Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Palace, especially the many powerful ones of the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao Lineage, their hearts clenched tightly.

It can be clearly said, even if the Eight-Character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperor faced this strike head-on, he would likewise perish instantly!

Because this is the full-power strike of the Nine Great Eight-Character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperors!

"Good!" a youth in blue robes said at the peak of the Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Palace.

Boom—

Throughout the Tai Shang Da Ri Realm, the Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Element Demon-Slaying Sword Formation operated at full overload!

In the Minor Thousand Worlds, in the Middle Thousand Worlds, in the Great Thousand Worlds, in the Ancient Realm……in every world, a celestial giant sword manifested, connecting to the stars above and the earth below, further linking to the End-Time Dao and the entire universe, countless celestial giant swords united as one, guided by the Tai Shang Immortal-Mortal Sword Intent, myriad flying swords launched simultaneously, all striking as one toward the Nine Great Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperors!
