Chapter 563

Boom—

The Scarlet Flame Sect and Azure Water Gate cultivators have reached the point of mortal combat; their powerful spells and Divine Abilities outside the secret realm intertwine into a terrifying storm, the earth trembles and the sky changes color.

Jin Peng Wang, Hu Wang, and Dasheng Hou Wang still remain hidden in the shadows; their gaze is like a hawk's, constantly seeking the best opportunity to strike.

The outcome of the battle is not important to them; what matters is who can control the situation at the final moment, thereby controlling the strong ones of these two sects.

Whoosh—

Underground creatures, under the control of the Longyuan Immortal Sect, become extraordinarily cunning and vigilant; they not only transport spoils on the battlefield, but also secretly spread false information, sowing discord between the two sides, making the situation ever more intense and irreconcilable.

Boom—

Lightning flashes and thunder roars; the immense destructive wave reaches its limit.

In a earth-shaking duel, the sect masters of the Scarlet Flame Sect and Azure Water Gate both suffer heavy wounds and collapse; the cultivators of both sects also sustain heavy casualties, losing all combat ability.

At this moment, Jin Peng Wang and the others moved; their appearance was like a ghost, silently appearing on the battlefield.

Immediately thereafter, the disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect surged forth like a tide from all directions, quickly taking control of the battlefield.

The cultivators of the Crimson Flame Sect and Azure Water Gate were already powerless to fight; looking at the suddenly appearing disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect, their eyes were filled with fear.

They did not understand why the Longyuan Immortal Sect would appear at this time, nor why they could so easily control the situation.

The Golden Peng King stood at the center of the battlefield, his gaze sweeping over every cultivator present, his voice extremely low and deep: "Crimson Flame Sect, Azure Water Gate, from today onward you shall fall under the jurisdiction of the Longyuan Immortal Sect; resisters shall be killed without mercy!"

The Tiger King and the Great Sage Monkey King stood respectively on his left and right, their eyes filled with extreme sternness and bloodlust.

The cultivators of the Crimson Flame Sect and Azure Water Gate, facing the mighty Longyuan Immortal Sect and facing an irresistible force, ultimately chose to submit.

Only by surviving can there be hope; only by surrendering can the sect's last trace of bloodline inheritance be preserved.

With the submission of the Crimson Flame Sect and Azure Water Gate, the strength of the Longyuan Immortal Sect greatly increased; not only did it seize the ancient treasures in the secret realm, but it also incorporated the resources and disciples of the two major sects under its command.

Longling in the distant History Tiger City silently observed all the news that had come back, his eyes flashing with satisfaction.

The plan of the Longyuan Immortal Sect had already succeeded halfway; next, they would utilize this newly acquired power to continue executing the Hive Plan, continuing to expand their sphere of influence.

That gaze pierced the void, looking toward a more distant place; other forces within the Tianji Shengyu might also be secretly observing all of this.

They might not stand idly by the rise of the Longyuan Immortal Sect; they will certainly take action, but he has already prepared himself.

Outside, the Myriad Source Mother Essence holds tremendous allure; now the cultivators of all sects cannot truly unite, for as soon as they inquire a bit about news of the Myriad Source Mother Essence, they will immediately rush over to kill.

Thus they become locked in endless combat, blood flowing like rivers.

Therefore, if earth cultivators want to seize the greatest benefit, this time is the only best opportunity; the Tianji Shengyu can only allow cultivators not exceeding the Tianling Realm to enter; as the power controlled by earth cultivators increases, suddenly the Huanyu forces will react, and by then they will have become a formidable force, and the external forces will only be able to gnash their teeth and swallow it.

At the same time, at the other end of the Tianji Shengyu, the Nine-Tailed Fox King led several demon kings, stealthily entering the depths of the Tianji Mountains.

Their appearance did not cause too much of a disturbance, because their power and aura had been cleverly concealed.

But as they ventured deeper into the mountains, a powerful demonic aura began to spread silently and invisibly, like a surging tide hidden beneath an undercurrent, ready to erupt at any moment.

In the heart of the mountains, countless spirit‑intelligent feral beasts sensed this powerful aura; instantly they opened their eyes, their eyes flashing with doubt.

These feral beasts either crouched on mountain peaks, lurked in deep valleys, or roamed the dense forests; they are the strong ones of the Tianji Mountains, possessing considerable power and wisdom.

However, when they saw the Nine-Tailed Fox King, Bear King, Huang Daxian, and other demon kings, their faces showed shock, unable to believe they were staring at these suddenly appearing powerful beings.

According to their inherited memory, they had never seen such a form of feral beast; in their worldview, feral beasts are savage, uncivilized creatures that act on instinct, never having possessed such high intelligence and organization.

However, the appearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox King and other demon kings completely overturned their cognition.

The Nine-Tailed Fox King stood upon a massive boulder, its nine tails swaying gently, each tail emitting a different light, as if nine different elemental powers were intertwining.

The light of wisdom flashed in its eyes; the shock of these feral beasts was exactly the effect it anticipated, for it needed these feral beasts to join, needed their strength, to jointly resist the impending counterattack of the Huanyu cultivators.

The Bear King stood to the left of the Nine-Tailed Fox King, his body huge as a mountain, every muscle containing explosive power, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Huang Daxian stood to the right of the Nine-Tailed Fox King; though his stature was not as massive as the Bear King's, his gaze was even sharper, and in his hand he held a golden staff inlaid with a brilliant gem that emitted mysterious power.

The Nine-Tailed Fox King slowly opened his mouth, his voice like a spring breeze sweeping over a hillock, gentle yet powerful: "Everyone, we come from different clans, but we share a common goal."

The tranquility of the Tianji Shengyu has been broken; our homeland now faces an unprecedented threat.

We need to unite, jointly resist those greedy cultivators, and protect our homeland.

The Bear King then said: "Feral beasts should not be enslaved by those cultivators; we possess strength not inferior to humans, wisdom not inferior to theirs, and should rise up to fight for our territory."

Upon hearing this, Huang Daxian firmly nodded and agreed: "Indeed, we need not only strength; we cannot fight blindly, but must act with plan and purpose."

The demon beasts present listened to the demon kings' words, their eyes gradually showing a firm light, beginning to realize that this battle was not just for themselves, but for the future of the entire beast race.

Finally, under the leadership of the Nine-Tailed Fox King, they set out toward the Tianji Abyss.

There, it is the most mysterious place in the Tianji Shengyu, also the most dangerous place, yet it is also the source of their power, the burial ground of the beast ancestors.

Therefore, the Tianji Abyss is perpetually shrouded in a mysterious power; its existence is like the heart of the Tianji Mountains, beating with the most primal law power.

Here, it is perpetually veiled by a thick mist, sunlight hardly penetrating; only occasional shafts of light, like swords piercing the mist, illuminate the ancient, mysterious stelae in the abyss.

These stelae, each seemingly bearing an ancient history, are massive and archaic, their surfaces covered with indecipherable runes, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

These runes faintly glow in the mist, as if whispering the endless secrets of the Tianji Abyss.

Around the stelae lie scattered the colossal bones of feral beasts, their skeletons larger than mountain peaks, each bone emitting a cold, eerie light, as if reminding the world that this place was once the resting place of immensely powerful beings.

These bones are the ancestors of the feral beasts of the Tianji Mountains; their souls and power are deeply rooted in this land, guarding this ancestral ground.

At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox King, Bear King, Huang Daxian, and other demon kings led numerous demon beasts through layer upon layer of mist, arriving at this sacred ancestral land.

His footsteps echoed among the stelae, his aura resonating with the power on the stelae, as if awakening the slumbering power in the abyss.

As they gathered, more and more feral beasts converged from every corner of the mountains.

They either trod with heavy steps, unfurled massive wings, or twisted their sinuous bodies, their eyes filled with reverence for the ancestral land.

Some feral beasts halted before the stelae, paying homage to their ancestors in their own way, emitting low roars as if praying, as if swearing an oath.

These sounds reverberated in the abyss, gathering into a mighty force that made every demon beast present feel an unprecedented throbbing.

Some airborne feral beasts circled in the air, their wings beating, stirring up gusts of wind that dispersed part of the mist, revealing more of the stelae's true form.

Their piercing cries split the sky, like a battle horn, inspiring the feral beasts on the ground.

The feral beasts in the water also emerged from the lakes and rivers of the abyss, their massive bodies churning the surface, raising towering waves; their scales glittered in the sunlight, their eyes burning with the fire of battle.

Under the leadership of Jiuweihu Wang, all the ferocious beasts began to gather around the stone tablet and the bones, forming a huge ring, with each clan occupying a portion of the ring.

Their breaths mingled here, and the power of inheritance gathered here.

Jiuweihu Wang stood at the center of the ring, its nine tails dancing in the air, each tail emitting a different light that resonated with the runes on the stone tablet.

That voice echoed in the abyss: "Everyone, we stand on the land of our ancestors, inheriting their strength and will. Today we swear here, united, to fight the ferocious beasts to the end!"

As Jiuweihu Wang's words fell, all the ferocious beasts let out earth-shaking roars; the sounds converged into a force that shook heaven and earth, shooting straight into the clouds.

At this moment, Tianji Shenyuan was no longer a mysterious place; it became a holy land in the hearts of all demon beasts.

Moreover, at this moment, at the center of Tianji Shenyuan, the King of Ferocious Beasts, Jiuweihu Wang, Huang Daxian, Xiong Wang, and the other demon kings reached an unprecedented agreement.

Their power gathered here, their breaths intertwined, forming a powerful aura of superiority.

This aura, like a tangible substance, spread in all directions, penetrating the mist, crossing the forests, spanning the mountains, and permeating the entire Tianji Shengyu.

With the release of this superior's aura, countless lesser ferocious beasts began to converge on Tianji Shenyuan.

They seemed to have received an ancient summoning, emerging from every corner of the mountain ranges, from every shadow in the forests, from every crack in the earth, their eyes filled with fervor and obedience, their actions revealing absolute loyalty to the king.

These ferocious beasts, whether winged beasts flying in the sky, subterranean beasts lurking underground, or aquatic beasts swimming in the water, all felt the king's aura; at this moment, their lives seemed no longer their own, but belonging to their king.

They emitted streams of mysterious aura; these auras gathered above Tianji Shenyuan, forming a multicolored spiritual domain, each piece representing a clan and a king.

In Jiuweihu Wang's spiritual domain, the fox-shaped ferocious beasts let out sharp hisses, their eyes flickering with cunning light, their tails dancing in the air, releasing streams of foxfire that illuminated a corner of the abyss.

In Huang Daxian's spiritual domain, various immortal beasts and spirit beasts emitted low roars, their bodies exuding a faint spiritual energy, their eyes flashing with wisdom, power gathering here to form a mysterious energy field.

In Xiong Wang's spiritual domain, the bear-shaped ferocious beasts let out earth-shaking roars, power erupting here, their bodies appearing especially massive, each of their blows capable of making the earth tremble.

Other Kings of Ferocious Beasts also released their own spiritual domains, each like an independent world, filled with the characteristics of their respective clans.

At this moment, all the ferocious beasts gathered together, their lives and power converged, their eyes no longer holding fear or hesitation, only absolute loyalty to the king.

Jiuweihu Wang again issued the command: "Everyone, our ancestors watch us, our homeland awaits us; today, for glory and survival, we must break out of the Tianji Shanmai!"

Following Jiuweihu Wang's command, all the ferocious beasts let out earth-shaking roars; the sounds converged into a force that shook heaven and earth, shooting straight into the clouds. At this moment, they were no longer solitary individuals but a mighty army, an army composed of countless ferocious beasts.

This army, under the leadership of the King of Ferocious Beasts, will advance toward every corner of Tianji Shengyu.

Jiuweihu Wang stood at the edge of Tianji Shenyuan, his gaze piercing through layers of mist toward the distance; behind him was the great army of ferocious beasts that had just gathered in the Tianji Forest, their aura strong and uniform, each beast like elite troops awaiting orders.

Jiuweihu Wang knew that this battle was not merely a contest of strength but also a comparison of wisdom and strategy; it required close cooperation with the Longyuan Immortal Sect to find the best opportunity amidst the chaos of Tianji Shengyu.

Thus, it began to send a message to the Longyuan Immortal Sect, using a secret method unique to the demon clan to transmit the information to distant allies.

"Everything is ready; we only need to wait for Tianji Shengyu to plunge into complete chaos, for the major powers' strength to be fully exhausted, then we will mobilize troops as ordered, coordinating inside and out, to bring most of the forces' spiritual domains of Tianji Shengyu under our control." Jiuweihu Wang's voice echoed in the special transmission array, crossing spatial distance straight to the core of the Longyuan Immortal Sect.

In the hidden hall of the Longyuan Immortal Sect, Longling and the other core disciples were anxiously awaiting Jiuweihu Wang's message.

When the transmission array lit up, and Jiuweihu Wang's voice echoed in the hall, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Excellent, Jiuweihu Wang, the Longyuan Immortal Sect has made all preparations." Longling's voice was firm and powerful, responding via the transmission array: "We will closely monitor the dynamics of Tianji Shengyu, and once the timing is ripe, we will act immediately."

Jiuweihu Wang nodded, turned to face the army of ferocious beasts behind him, and said: "Allies are ready; now we need to wait for the best moment, when the major powers have exhausted themselves in the chaos of Tianji Shengyu, we will launch an attack, coordinating inside and out with the Longyuan Immortal Sect, to seize the fruits of victory."

The ferocious beasts let out earth-shaking roars, their eyes filled with the desire for battle.

In the skies above Tianji Shenyuan, Jiuweihu Wang and the other demon kings began to devise strategy, deciding to set up a temporary command center in the abyss, from which they would direct the entire demon clan's actions.

They utilized the natural terrain and the power of the stone tablet within the abyss to construct a strong defensive system, ensuring that the demon clan's rear would be safe before the battle began.

At the same time, they also stockpiled resources and food in the abyss, preparing for the impending prolonged battle; this battle might last a long time, and only sufficient preparation can ensure ultimate victory.

With the passage of time, the situation in Tianji Shengyu became increasingly chaotic.

Longling stood atop the high tower of Liehu Cheng, his gaze sharp as an eagle, piercing through layers of clouds and mist, as if he could perceive the dynamics of the entire Tianji Shengyu.

When he received Jiuweihu Wang's transmission, a joy welled up in his heart that was hard to suppress.

"This is a good thing!" Jin Peng Wang's voice carried a hint of excitement as he turned to the other core disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect: "Jiuweihu Wang is ready; they will launch an attack amidst the chaos of Tianji Shengyu. We too must join this operation, coordinating inside and out with the demon clan, to seize control of Tianji Shengyu."

Qingxu Daozhang clenched his fists, power surging within, his eyes flashing with the light of battle: "Finally we have awaited this moment; we will make the entire Tianji Shengyu feel our power."

Zhi Dun then revealed a cunning smile: "Not only must we participate in the battle, but we must also seek opportunities in the chaos, covertly distributing the counterfeit Myriad Source Mother Essence and letters containing false information among the major powers of Tianji Shengyu."

Following Jin Peng Wang's command, the disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect began to act.

They used the special abilities cultivated from subterranean beings to move silently through the underground world of Tianji Shengyu, delivering one by one the counterfeit Myriad Source Mother Essence and the letters with false information to the secret strongholds of each major power.

These subterranean beings, after careful cultivation by Jin Peng Wang and others, have become extraordinarily strong and alert.

They can move swiftly underground, evading all eyes and ears, accurately delivering these items capable of inciting turmoil to the designated locations.

In a hidden valley of Tianji Shengyu, a subterranean creature quietly emerged from the ground, placing a small box containing counterfeit Myriad Source Mother Essence into the secret warehouse of a small sect, then swiftly vanished underground without leaving a trace.

In the dark corner of another city, another subterranean creature slipped a letter stating that a certain power hoarded vast amounts of Myriad Source Mother Essence into the cargo of a caravan.

This letter will be conveyed through the caravan's circulation to the hands of another power.
