Chapter 768: The War of Victory
The great battle outside the starry sky lasted three years.
During this period, the star river rolled back, the Spirit Fire Realm was turned upside down, lightning flashed and thunder rolled, natural disasters were constant, and living beings endured disaster after disaster, with countless deaths and injuries.
Only after three years did the turbulent boundary wall and the incessant natural disasters finally subside.
The inherent recovery ability of the Minor Thousand Worlds was revealed; the cracked earth healed, the lava flowing everywhere gradually solidified, no longer chaotic, no longer destroying living beings, and various frequent natural disasters slowly vanished, granting the beings within the realm a rare chance to catch their breath.
Jiang Ding opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.
"Jiang Ding, we have won."
From his ear, the silent for a long time, slightly sorrowful voice of Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun came: "That old thing from the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace was injured and fled; three hundred and sixty Guardian Divine Generals of the Heavenly Palace have withered by more than half, unable to recover for at least a thousand years, basically losing the ability to fight at the Void Refinement level, posing no more threat."
"It is a pity that old thing, seeing the situation was unfavorable, fled."
"If he had fought to the death, after we paid a heavy price, we might have been able to kill him, completely exterminating a great harm to the Immortal Sects."
"But this situation is also fine; if that old thing had died, the remaining seven great experts might have gone mad, many concerns might have disappeared, becoming extremely dangerous."
"This is great."
Jiang Ding said softly.
To make an ancient Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun so sorrowful, with emotions exposed outward, clearly something had happened; many had fallen, possibly even including his old friends, students, and junior disciples of several thousand years of friendship.
"Commander-in-Chief, shall we still attack?"
Jiang Ding asked.
"Yes!"
"We absolutely cannot stop at this moment!"
Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun said decisively: "We must attack, and even faster, even more ferociously, to occupy more Minor Worlds for the Immortal Sects; even if the Badaxian Sects all exert pressure and besiege us together, it cannot change our strategy!"
"If they want to fight, then let them fight!"
"Although the Immortal Sects are weak and cannot, like the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, suppress all heavens with a single sect alone, if we fight with our lives, fighting to the last person, the last warship, and all taboo nuclear weapons are deployed together, we still have the confidence to completely exterminate two or three Immortal Sects."
"Those eight old things are not closely cooperating comrades; there is deep suspicion between them, and they would even be happy to see other sects perish, actively creating opportunities for us, not as difficult as imagined."
"You don't know yet, do you?"
Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun's words carried a faint killing intent: "Just now, the Huangxue Ancient Beast Dao Soldiers of the Wan Shou Immortal Sect have arrived at the Immortal Sects' border, making contact with the Senior Wanji Canghai Tianjun of the Western Front Starry Sky Group Army; there was no standoff, they directly engaged in slaughter; Wan Shou beasts roared across the sky, shaking the star domain, and fought a bloody battle with the Immortal Sects' Western Front Army."
"The Huangxue Ancient Beast Dao Soldiers are no match for the Western Front Army, even though the Western Front Army is only a detachment of the Immortal Sects."
"However, due to fear of the Void Refinement great experts of the Wan Shou Immortal Sect, Senior Wanji Canghai Tianjun fought very conservatively, relying on the terrain of the star domain, merely entangling, using more than seventy percent of his forces to guard against sudden attacks, so the results were not great, only a stalemate."
"On the Eastern Front, at the Master Canghai Starry Sky Group Army, the Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Dao Soldiers of the Qingmuxian Sect have also arrived, merely stationed at the Immortal Sects' border, doing nothing."
"Taiyi Taiyi Qingmu Dao Soldiers, this is nothing, even if Master Canghai is just a young junior."
Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun's words carried a faint pride, just like the Great Sun Sword Pavilion looking down on others in the Dao of the Sword, supreme and alone.
"The Void Refinement great experts of the Qingmuxian Sect who have not yet made a move are terrifying."
"Master Canghai is under great pressure now; he cannot even meditate in peace every day, scanning the realm at all times with the super-lyon radar composite matrix of the Starry Sky Front Army fixed in the satellite orbit of the Minor Thousand Worlds to prevent possible sudden attacks, daring not to rest for even a second."
"However, he is overthinking it; after all, he is just a young person, unable to keep calm."
"The possibility of the Qingmuxian Sect's Void Refinement great expert launching a solo surprise attack on the Eastern Front Starry Sky Group Army is very small, because once she is pinned down, remaining on the Eastern Starry Sky Front Army's defense line, Yuan Yuan can lead the Immortal Sects' fleet stationed at the Mother Star, carrying a large number of taboo nuclear weapons, teleporting to kill her."
"The Mother Star, guarded by a Void Refinement-level great formation, is not afraid of external enemies for the time being."
"Besides the Qingmuxian Sect and the Wan Shou Immortal Sect, the Dao Soldiers of the Wudaxian Sects are also moving, approaching this direction, nominally for star domain cruising and array drills, not as aggressive as the Wan Shou Immortal Sect, waiting for something."
"Our allies, the Wuxingtian Sect,"
Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun said coldly: "also have movements; the Wuxing Five Spirits Indestructible Dao Soldiers are within their sect's territory, near the border facing the Immortal Sects, conducting multiple array drills."
Between realms, between Immortal Sects, nothing is eternal; previously the Immortal Sects and the Wuxingtian Sect depended on each other, contributing together, each getting through their difficult times.
Now, the situation may have already changed.
"The Immortal Sects' staff department speculates,"
"the Wuxingtian Sect might, in the manner of an ally, temporarily remain neutral."
Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun explained: "But this does not mean the Wuxingtian Sect is still an ally; they are waiting, waiting for the Immortal Sects to show signs of decline, or waiting for the strength of the other seven Immortal Sects to weaken, then delivering the final blow to seize the greatest benefits; we must divide our forces to guard against their Dao Soldiers, which also serves as an explanation to the Qidaxian Sects."
"The situation is thus; the time for a strategic defensive posture is far from here."
"Our goal is to attack, attack, and constantly attack, until we reach the Immortal Sects' control limit."
"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"
Jiang Ding saluted.
Next, the Northern Sky Front Army fleet group spent several days gathering, handing over the Xing Chen Ding Gao Jie array positions to the second-line and third-line troops, then bidding farewell and flying out beyond the boundary wall under the traction light columns of the starry sky troops.
In these years, as the Minor Worlds constantly increased, the Immortal Sects had begun the second, third, and fourth conscriptions; a large number of citizens were conscripted into the army to replenish the second and third-line troops; manpower was being consumed at a visible speed, and many long-term scientific research and construction projects had to be stopped and sealed away for the future.
Returning outside the boundary, standing on the steel fortress.
Jiang Ding held his breath, stood straight, saluted, and rendered a salute of attention.
On the scarred starry sky battlefield, amidst the broken starry sky fortresses, fragments of broken warships and fighter jets mixed with severed limbs and broken bodies were loaded into rows of pitch-black coffins and transported out.
Inside, there were very few complete or broken bodies; under Void Refinement-level attacks, they had already vaporized, turned into a particle state.
The coffins mostly contained fragments of warships and aerospace fighter jets, the clothes of the citizens before their lives, magical treasures, and other items, retaining the aura of the martyrs before their deaths.
These coffins will return with the logistics fleet to the Immortal Sects, to be buried in the Immortal Sects' public cemetery.
