Chapter 2622: War Ignites the Starry Sky

In the boundless starry sky, all the ancient emperors who witnessed this battle felt a tremor in their hearts.

The Nine Great Eight-Character Immortal Classics Ancient Emperors encircled and attacked, the Nine Great Great Dao suppressed the Tai Shang Da Ri Realm, suppressing all myriad laws and the long river of time, but in the end they were repelled by the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang wielding his sword, and the Zhou Sanyan Ancient Emperor was severely wounded!

After the Zhou Sanyan Ancient Emperor of the Golden Crow Immortal Clan was chopped into countless pieces by the Taiqing and the World's Sword Group, he revived tens of thousands of light-years away, his face pale, his whole body's radiance dimmed, and he no longer dared to act so recklessly, hiding among the emperors and facing the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang together with them, standing in opposition.

"Your immortal formation is truly extraordinary..."

"Tai Shang Da Ri."

The Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor sneered.

In his heart he felt apprehension, jealousy and envy, but with this immortal formation, the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang could look down upon all emperors, and no single forbidden-zone ancient emperor could compare with him alone.

Yet the more this is so, the more we must slay this wretch here!

Is it difficult?

Not difficult!

It can certainly be done, for this is the encirclement by the Nine Eight-Character Immortal Classics Ancient Emperors, and currently no ancient emperor can block it; such a person does not exist.

The only problem, however, is merely a matter of one or two casualties. "Friends of the Dao, let the youths go forth."

"This great formation's foundation relies on the myriad worlds of the Tai Shang Da Ri Realm; as long as we break its foundation, the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao friends are not enough to oppose us."

The Green Ox Ancient Emperor smiled faintly.

The wisdom of the forbidden-zone ancient emperors is astonishing, their immortal Dao achievements shining brightly through the long river of ancient times, and they see things with perfect clarity.

No forbidden-zone ancient emperor is blinded by the current situation, believing the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has already reached another level.

It is all merely due to the immortal formation.

Without the immortal formation, the Nine Eight-Character Immortal Classics Ancient Emperors encircling would surely kill the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, and even escape would be a luxury—this is the price he paid for being the first to advance to the Eight-Character Immortal Classics decades ago, then looking down upon all emperors of the world.

Even if the immortal formation exists, as long as we disregard casualties, we can still forcefully break through.

Now it is not that we cannot, but that we do not wish to.

"Good!"

"The origin lies in the Tai Shang Da Ri Slaying Demon Sword Formation at Tian Yuan."

"Advance..." The many Eight-Character Forbidden-Zone Ancient Emperors all gave a slight nod.

"We need not worry about casualties; the starry sky is too crowded, and we need vast lands to nurture our clan's descendants—losing a batch of cultivators from the ancient immortal dynasties might not be a bad thing..."

Even some forbidden-zone ancient emperors spoke bluntly.

The current emperor of the Golden Age, the Great Emperor of the Ancient Times, is of mixed human and Phoenix Immortal blood; within his ruled domain are mostly human and Phoenix Immortal strongers, plus many cultivators of various races, among whom the top cultivators of the Phoenix Immortal Clan have already gathered in the Zhou Sanyan Realm and elsewhere, while many top human strongers also migrated to the Tai Shang Da Ri Realm and under the command of numerous human forbidden-zone ancient emperors during the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang's powerful era.

What remains, existing in large numbers across many worlds, are merely many rootless, dependent strongers.

The presence of these ancient immortal dynasty strongers sometimes inevitably appears somewhat obstructive.

The forbidden-zone ancient emperors ruling over ethnic groups need living space—for example, the Green Ox Immortal Clan, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Clan, and the Golden Crow Immortal Clan; they are entire ethnic groups, from the weakest qi-refining young to the supreme emperor realm cultivators, all needing sufficient living space and environment.

This is still under the condition that the ruling royal families are relatively few in number.

More importantly, besides the ruling royal families, there is also a large batch of vassal slave ethnic groups that need to be cultivated!

In the long history of the forbidden-zone immortal dynasties, the existence of these vassal ethnic groups is tied to specific immortal Dao industrial chains, closely related to the forbidden-zone immortal dynasty industrial system, forming a symbiotic system.

Take the Golden Crow Immortal Clan as an example: among its vassal ethnic groups is one named the Earth Fire Desert Sparrow, whose combat power is very ordinary, whose wisdom and spirituality are also nothing special, yet it is related to one of the billions of refining steps for the clan's highest immortal Dao wisdom, the Samadhi True Fire; the "Earth Desert Fire" produced after the Earth Fire Desert Sparrow's death is one of many key materials for the earth fire in refining the Samadhi True Fire.

The Earth Fire Desert Sparrow is a species bred generation after generation by the Golden Crow Immortal Clan's great wisdom beings using various immortal arts; for the Golden Crow Immortal Clan, the existence of the Earth Fire Desert Sparrow is extremely important, and its population is extremely vast, often reaching trillions, requiring very broad grazing pastures, needing many worlds.

Yet these worlds, with their many spiritual mountains and spiritual lands, are already occupied by the myriad sects, ethnic groups, and strongers of the ancient immortal dynasties.

This is the contradiction.

Therefore, although the forbidden-zone emperors have spent much effort and resources to train the ancient immortal dynasty cultivators into strong armies, even bestowing upon them the Eight-Character Primordial Ancient Scriptures to train Dao soldiers, enhancing their power time and again, surpassing any past era, yet in their hearts, they are not overly concerned about the lives of these Dao soldiers.

"As long as they have value,"

"Even if these Dao soldiers all die, it is of no consequence."

The Zhou Sanyan Ancient Emperor said calmly.

Though he spoke these words, he did not worry about the morale of his Golden Crow Burning Realm Dao soldiers, for this Dao soldier unit's combat power does not rely on the soldiers' morale—it only needs combat, and combat alone ensures absolute loyalty; these Dao soldiers' will does not belong to individuals, but to the Golden Crow Immortal Clan.

"Good."

"Attack then."

Each forbidden-zone ancient emperor said lightly.

Amid these casual words, a fated cosmic immortal Dao war, destined for countless casualties, blood flowing like a torrent, blood staining the boundless starry sky, officially opened its curtain....

Tai Shang Da Ri Heavenly Palace.

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged deep within the palace, his gaze cold as he observed the Tai Shang Da Ri domain star map projected before him by the Immortal Dynasty General Staff.

The border star domain war flames have already ignited.

Countless immortal dynasty cultivators are fighting and slaughtering the invading enemy, with hundreds of thousands, even tens of millions, falling every moment.

The red dots symbolizing the enemy sometimes deeply penetrate the territory, sometimes are swiftly annihilated by the arriving immortal dynasty armies.

The border star domain battlefield presents a scene of interlocking canine teeth, making it difficult to distinguish clearly at a glance.

The entire Tai Shang Da Ri Immortal Dynasty and Tai Shang Da Ri Domain have already been thoroughly plunged into war flames; the immortal dynasty operates at full capacity, continuously transporting troops to the front lines and transferring various supplies.

"Your Majesty..."

Now the Moon Yin Ancient Emperor and Gong Caiyu have already gone forth to battle; only Fusang remains in the palace.

She is somewhat afraid.

She has always been this way; before the green-clad youth, she does not hide her fear and worry, and she has always been a weak person, having hardly ever stepped onto a proper battlefield. Now the enemy is too strong.

If they disregard casualties, they have the ability to surely kill the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

The gap between us and them is too great.

"Do not worry."

"This lord will surely achieve victory."

Jiang Ding said calmly: "I am certain that, in the absence of any risk of death, among the nine great forbidden zone ancient emperors, aside from the Nine-Leaf Sword Emperor, no forbidden zone ancient emperor would be willing to pay the price of an extremely high possibility of death to encircle and kill me; the so-called disregard for casualties has always been merely a speculation."

"And not reality."

"Victory will inevitably belong to me!"
