Chapter 471: Those who offend the Black Tribe shall be executed

Inside the Black Tribe's ancestral hall, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

The Black Dragon Clan Chief and Longling stood together, facing the anger and dissatisfaction of the clan's elders and elite cultivators; they knew the threat from Taiyin Shengdi must be completely resolved.

The Black Dragon Clan Chief took a deep breath, his eyes firm and sharp.

Taiyin Shengdi has urgently summoned disciples from within Tianji Shengyu this period; they will surely take major action against the Black Tribe.

This is likely the critical moment of life and death for the Black Tribe.

The Black Dragon Clan Chief spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the hall.

"The sons of the Black Tribe will never submit!"

"No matter what the Huanyu Great Sect is like, even if we sacrifice our lives, we will slaughter them till heaven and earth are overturned."

"The sons of the Black Tribe only die standing; they have never lived kneeling."

"United as one, we jointly resist Taiyin Shengdi."

Longling nodded after hearing those words.

That wise gaze also became profound.

"The conspiracy of Taiyin Shengdi has already been seen through, and moreover, we have repeatedly suffered losses at the hands of the Fierce Tiger Sect, causing our sect's prestige to become a laughingstock in Tianji Shengyu."

"This time, moving against the Black Tribe will certainly be a fatal blow."

"The Black Tribe must make full preparations."

"We must not let the rabble of Taiyin Shengdi think the Black Tribe is easy to bully."

"The Black Tribe has also produced immortals before and once been a supreme great sect; even if we show weakness and avoid trouble, we will absolutely not fear trouble."

The Black Tribe's cultivators responded in unison.

"War……"

"War……"

"War……"

Their eyes flashed with unyielding light, their bodies radiating surging fighting spirit.

United in heart, brothers unanimous against the outside, to resist Taiyin Shengdi's invasion we must advance without hesitation.

The Black Dragon Clan Chief turned and said to Longling, "Longling Sir, the Black Tribe entrusts you."

Longling smiled slightly upon hearing those words.

She knew this was an inescapable responsibility of hers.

Black City is one of the cities near History Tiger City; in the future, earth cultivators will enter History Tiger City.

Holding Black City adds an extra layer of defense to the History Tiger City base that earth cultivators will establish in Tianji Shengyu.

Longling turned to face the Black Tribe's cultivators and spoke loudly.

"Black Tribe warriors, prepare to welcome the impending battle."

"We will use courage and wisdom to defend Black City and uphold the Black Tribe's dignity."

As Longling's words fell, the Black Tribe's cultivators sprang into action.

They began setting up defenses, strengthening vigilance, and simultaneously dispatched elite squads to gather nearby intelligence.

In the following days, the Black Tribe and Taiyin Shengdi cultivators carried out a series of covert contests within Tianji Shengyu.

The Black Tribe probed for the enemy's weaknesses, attempting to unleash the advantages of its cultivators in war.

Soon, the Black Tribe's cultivators finally obtained an important piece of intelligence.

The cultivators of Taiyin Shengdi have already gathered, preparing to launch an attack on the Black Tribe, and now they are sailing aboard warships toward Black City.

The Black Dragon Clan Chief and Longling swiftly summoned all elders and elite cultivators, daring not to be the slightest bit careless in this battle that decides the Black Tribe's fate.

The Black Dragon Clan Chief stood on the high platform of the ancestral hall, his eyes flashing with a solemn light.

"Black Tribe warriors, Black City's Black Tribe now faces an unprecedented threat."

"But the Black Tribe's blood runs with an unyielding spirit."

"The sons of the Black Tribe will surely use their bodies and hot blood to defend Black City and uphold the Black Tribe's dignity."

Heifeng stood beside the Black Dragon Clan Chief.

She clenched her fists, her whole body surging with fierce fighting spirit.

After hearing the Black Dragon Clan Chief's words, his tone likewise became extraordinarily valiant.

"The Black Tribe's warriors united as one have confidence and ability to overcome all oppressors and enemies who invade the Black Tribe."

"The Black Tribe is born for war; from now on, it will surely use war to end war."

As Heifeng's words fell, the Black Tribe's cultivators unleashed an earth-shaking roar.

"We swear by blood, to fight for the clan!"

"We swear by blood, to fight for the clan!"

"We swear by blood, to fight for the clan!"

"……"

The Black Tribe cultivators' eyes were filled with bloodshot lines, flashing with fighting will.

Their hearts and minds were filled with the futility of death.

Under the leadership of the Black Dragon Clan Chief and Longling, the Black Tribe's cultivators swiftly gathered, preparing to welcome the impending battle.

Everyone knew this would be a hard-fought rebellion, but also the moment the ancient-silent Black Tribe swears an oath to the Universe Cultivation World, their battle hearts returning.

……

At the edge of Tianji Shengyu, the cultivators of Taiyin Shengdi are also gathering.

Their eyes flashed with vengeful hatred; these cultivators' bodies were entwined with terrifying yin-cold power, wherever they passed, everything became forged into stark white ice.

Each one possesses an aura that looks down on all heroes; they come from the foremost of the Huanyu orthodox path, they are the supreme among all sects.

A tiny Black Tribe dares to cause a ruckus in Taiyin Shengdi; that is an insult to them, and we must crush the Black Tribe's cultivators to dust.

Otherwise, how could these Taiyin Shengdi cultivators ever enter the Universe Cultivation World bearing their sect's prestige and endure through the ages?

Therefore, the Taiyin Shengdi cultivators all know this is a battle to restore Taiyin Shengdi's honor, and Taiyin Shengdi can only win, not lose.

As cultivators from both sides gather, the atmosphere at the edge of Tianji Shengyu grows ever more tense, and a great battle that will decide the fate of the two powers is about to erupt.

In this battle, neither the Black Tribe nor Taiyin Shengdi dare be careless, and the senior leaders of all major powers are extremely cautious.

Every step must be carefully considered in order to secure ultimate victory in this war.

Three days later, as the battle approaches, the air of Tianji Shengyu is filled with a tense yet anticipatory feeling.

On the square of the Black Tribe Ancestral Hall, the Black Dragon Tribe Chief raised his black long sword, its tip pointing to the heavens, and his voice echoed across the square like thunder.

"Warriors of the Black Tribe, the Black Tribe's Immortal Ancestor once created glory on this land."

"Today the youths of the Black Tribe will inherit his will, using our flesh and blood to defend Black City and uphold the honor of the Black Mist."

"The Black Tribe hereby renews its fighting spirit; whoever offends the Black Tribe shall be executed!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Upon hearing this, the Black Tribe cultivators all felt their blood boil and responded in unison with focused minds.

Their voices merged into a mighty force that shook the entire square.

Longling stood beside the Black Dragon Tribe Chief, her eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.

Besides courage and strength, wisdom and strategy are equally important for cultivators.

At the same time.

At the base of Taiyin Shengdi, Xi Daoshi and the other elders were also preparing nervously.

They knew the Black Tribe once had a great clan that produced an ascended immortal, though it has declined, but there might be some terrifying trump card left by a senior in the Black Tribe.

Therefore, to suppress the Black Tribe this time, we must unleash the full strength of Taiyin Shengdi in Tianji Shengyu.

Xi Daoshi's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Taiyin Shengdi is the leader of the orthodox path in the Universe Cultivation World."

"It will once again prove the true strength of the chief of the orthodox path."

"Let any power that dares to provoke Taiyin Shengdi's dignity pay the price!"

Upon hearing this, the Taiyin Shengdi cultivators likewise let out a heaven-shaking roar.

The battle finally erupted.

At the edge of Tianji Shengyu, in the vast sky, the Black Tribe and Taiyin Shengdi cultivators launched a fierce duel.

The Black Tribe cultivators, relying on their familiarity with the terrain and carefully laid traps, caused great trouble for the Taiyin Shengdi cultivators.

The Taiyin Shengdi cultivators, relying on powerful magic treasures and exquisite tactics, continually assaulted the Black Tribe's defenses.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, with magic treasure light constantly flashing in the sky and cultivator figures crisscrossing on the ground.

In the Taiyin Shengdi camp, Xi Daoshi and the other elders also directed the battle with all their might.

They constantly adjusted their tactics, trying to find a weakness in the Black Tribe's defenses.

The battle continued for days and nights, and although the cultivators of both sides were exhausted, their will remained steadfast.

"Boom—"

Xi Daoshi moved like lightning, darting across the battlefield; as he waved his hands, strands of Taiyin power condensed into huge ice cones, pouring down like a rainstorm onto the Black Tribe cultivators.

Each strike carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, and wherever the ice cones passed, space seemed to freeze.

Seeing this, the Black Dragon Tribe Chief let out a roar, his body shimmering with surging light; using his body to control the spirit, he instantly swelled and transformed into a gigantic black dragon, its scales flashing with a dim light.

He swung his massive claws, each strike producing a tearing-through-space sound, shattering Xi Daoshi's ice cones one by one.

"Black Dragon Annihilation!"

The Black Dragon Tribe Chief roared, his body coiling in midair; his huge dragon tail, like a black pillar, swept toward Xi Daoshi.

Xi Daoshi's face sank.

A powerful aura rose from him; he formed hand seals, and the dark clouds in the sky began to spin, forming a huge vortex.

At the vortex's center, wind blades shot forth like swords toward the Black Dragon Tribe Chief.

The Black Dragon Tribe Chief did not dodge or avoid.

With a fierce swing of his dragon claw, a black flame spewed forth, colliding with Xi Daoshi's wind blades and producing a huge explosion.

The explosion's aftermath even made the surrounding cultivators feel intense pressure.

"Taiyin Wuji!"

Xi Daoshi shouted loudly, and behind him appeared a huge black sun, emitting endless yin cold power.

This power coalesced into a massive beam of light, shooting straight at the Black Dragon Tribe Chief.

Seeing this, the Black Dragon Tribe Chief's eyes flashed with resolve; his body instantly shrank back to human form, he waved his long sword, and a black sword aura surged forward to meet it.

The two forces collided in midair, producing a deafening roar.

"Black Dragon Devours Heaven!"

The Black Dragon Tribe Chief shouted again, spewing a huge black dragon breath that opposed Xi Daoshi's Taiyin power.

The two forces intertwined in the air, forming a massive energy storm, and the surrounding cultivators retreated to avoid being affected.

Xi Daoshi's face became unusually solemn.

He knew the Black Dragon Tribe Chief's strength was not to be underestimated, and he had to give his all.

He formed hand seals again; the black sun behind him began to spin, releasing even greater Taiyin power.

"Taiyin Annihilation!"

Xi Daozi's voice boomed like thunder across the battlefield as he thrust both hands forward, a black beam of light shooting from his palm and streaking straight toward the Black Dragon Clan Chief.

The Black Dragon Clan Chief's face changed.

He could feel the terror of that power, a mighty aura surging from his body as he swung his long sword, sending a black sword qi to meet it.

"Boom—"

The two forces collided in midair, producing a massive explosion that shook the entire battlefield.

The Black Dragon Clan Chief and Xi Daozi's figures flickered in the explosion, their battle having entered a white-hot stage.

Each of the Black Dragon Clan Chief's attacks carried the force of thunder, while Xi Daozi was like a tiny boat in a raging storm—though his form swayed, every counterstrike was precise and deadly.

"Chief, I'm here to help you!"

Just then, Heifeng joined the battle.

His silhouette was like a black lightning bolt, darting across the battlefield.

His attacks were swift and ruthless, each strike making the cultivators of Taiyin Shengdi feel an unprecedented pressure.

Heifeng's arrival boosted the Black Clan's morale greatly, and they began to assault the Taiyin Shengdi's lines with even greater frenzy.

Seeing this, Xi Daozi's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

He decided to hold nothing back, beginning to unleash Taiyin Shengdi's forbidden technique.

A powerful force surged from Xi Daozi's body, combining with the surrounding yin cold aura to form black beams of light that shot straight toward Heifeng the Great King.

Heifeng remained calm, weaving through the black beams with perfect dodges; his counterattacks grew fiercer, forcing Xi Daozi to divert energy to respond.

Seeing this, the Black Dragon Clan Chief also increased his assault.

His dragon claws and tail became the deadliest weapons on the battlefield.

The battle entered a white-hot phase, both sides seeking the other's opening in hopes of landing a decisive blow.

Heifeng's attacks undoubtedly gave the Black Clan a huge advantage, but the cultivators of Taiyin Shengdi were no pushovers, their counterstrikes equally sharp.

"A junior, the Mi Mi clan also dares to brandish weapons against Taiyin Shengdi!"

"Allying with petty scoundrels, you are doomed to destruction."

"Surrender to Taiyin Shengdi, and I can promise you—allow you to live."

After dodging a fierce attack from Heifeng, Xi Daozi shouted angrily.

Heifeng gave a cold laugh.

"Xi Daozi, Taiyin Shengdi merely bears the name of the righteous path's leader, having long since betrayed the original aspiration with which it was founded in the world of cultivation!"

"The deeds of Taiyin Shengdi have strayed from the righteous path, becoming slaves to power and ambition."

"The Black Clan merely chose the correct path, resisting invading foes in order to uphold true justice!"

The Black Dragon Clan Chief stood by to assist.

His voice boomed like thunder.

"Xi Daozi, Taiyin Shengdi is nothing but a bunch of hypocritical petty nobles."

"Your so-called righteous path is merely a figleaf to cover your crimes."

"The Black Clan will crush your conspiracies completely!"

"From now on, the Black Clan exists for war, and will rest only in death."

Upon hearing those words, Xi Daozi's face turned ashen.

"You ignorant barbarians, you utterly fail to grasp the laws of the cultivation world."

"Today, I, representing Taiyin Shengdi, will utterly annihilate you provocateurs!"

Xi Daozi roared in anger.

"Boom—"

The battle intensified, the shouts of anger, clashes of weapons, and explosions of spells intertwining, making the atmosphere ever more tense and fierce.

A flash of resolve crossed Xi Daozi's eyes.

He formed seals with both hands, chanting incantations.

The surrounding yin cold qi swiftly gathered, forming black whirlwinds that swirled around his body.

His body began to change—muscles bulged, mysterious runes appeared on his skin, and his eyes glowed with an icy light.

"Taiyin Shengdi's secret art—Shadow Incarnation!"

Xi Daozi bellowed, his body instantly splitting into several black shadows, each imbued with great power as they surged toward the Black Dragon Clan Chief and Heifeng.

Seeing this, the Black Dragon Clan Chief's surrounding spiritual power surged as a huge black dragon rose into the air, its black tail sweeping fiercely to kick up a gale that dispersed some of the shadows.

At the same time, that ink‑black dragon claw waved, each strike accurately hitting the shadows' vital points and emitting a deafening roar.

"Black Dragon Heaven‑Splitting Claw!"

The Black Dragon Clan Chief roared, black lightning crackling along his dragon claw; as he swung, the lightning spread like a vast net, enveloping all of Xi Daozi's black shadows.
