Chapter 564
As Longyuan Immortal Sect and the monster clan secretly laid their plans, the situation in Tianji Shengyu became even more bewildering, and all factions, tempted by the Myriad Source Mother Essence, have already suffered countless casualties.
Battles across Tianji Shengyu are everywhere, people are panicked, and now the super great sects of Huanyu have also stationed cultivators to enter personally.
Those superpower sects, relying on their great strength and deep foundation, pressure medium and small factions that refuse to surrender the Myriad Source Mother Essence, even resorting to extreme measures.
These superpower sects are like giant beasts in Tianji Shengyu, with vast influence, numerous disciples, and a constant stream of treasures and divine abilities.
Their goal is clear: to control the Myriad Source Mother Essence, thereby consolidating and expanding their own power.
For those medium and small factions that defy them, they adopt ruthless strategies.
In a certain place of Tianji Shengyu, Spirit Void Valley is a considerable force of Huanyu; although its disciples' cultivation is not weak, before the superpower sect Heaven Slaughter Sect, their strength appears insignificant.
The disciples of Heaven Slaughter Sect surged into Spirit Void Valley like a black tide, their eyes devoid of mercy, only issuing the cold order to surrender the Myriad Source Mother Essence, otherwise face sect extermination and clan annihilation.
The valley master of Spirit Void Valley has white hair and eyes full of defiance; the Myriad Source Mother Essence is the foundation of the valley's sect, and once surrendered, Spirit Void Valley will lose all its heritage and successor disciples.
Battle erupted in Spirit Void Valley; Heaven Slaughter Sect's disciples swept through the entire valley like a violent storm, their spells powerful and merciless, each attack inflicting heavy casualties on the valley's disciples.
Although the disciples of Spirit Void Valley fought desperately, before absolute strength their efforts seemed utterly insignificant.
The buildings of Spirit Void Valley collapsed one after another under Heaven Slaughter Sect's assault, flames and smoke engulfing the entire valley.
The disciples' cries of agony, the explosions of spells, and the clashes of weapons intertwined, forming a terrifying scene of disaster.
In this disaster, the disciples of Spirit Void Valley fell one after another, their blood staining the valley's soil red.
Heaven Slaughter Sect's disciples showed no hesitation or mercy; their sole goal was to utterly destroy Spirit Void Valley and seize the Myriad Source Mother Essence.
Finally, the valley master of Spirit Void Valley fell in a fierce duel, his body struck by Heaven Slaughter Sect's spells and reduced to ashes.
In despair, the disciples of Spirit Void Valley watched their sect being destroyed, their fellow brothers falling one by one, their hearts filled with grief and anger.
After confirming that Spirit Void Valley had no survivors, Heaven Slaughter Sect's disciples began searching the ruins for the Myriad Source Mother Essence.
They ruthlessly combed every possible hiding place of the Myriad Source Mother Essence, and any Spirit Void Valley disciple attempting to conceal or resist was mercilessly eliminated.
Soon, the disaster in Spirit Void Valley was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layer after layer of ripples in Tianji Shengyu.
This disaster was not merely a tragedy of one sect; it was like a mirror, reflecting the cruel reality of the survival of the fittest in Tianji Shengyu.
The ruthless crushing by the super-powerful sects plunged the entire holy domain into an atmosphere of panic and unease.
The news spread quickly to every corner of Tianji Shengyu, and the leaders of medium and small sects, besides being shocked, also began to urgently discuss countermeasures; if no action is taken, the tragedy of Spirit Void Valley will be staged in many more sects.
In a hidden valley, several leaders of medium-power sects met secretly, their faces full of worry and resolve; they decided to unite, forming an alliance to jointly resist the oppression of those super-powerful sects.
"We cannot sit and wait for death." one leader said firmly, and his words were echoed by the others.
At the same time, disciples of the small sects also began to secretly connect; although their strength was weak, their numbers were many, and when their strength gathered, they could also form a resistance force not to be ignored.
On the other side of Tianji Shengyu, the leaders of the super-powerful sects were also closely monitoring the development of the situation.
"A bunch of ants, opposing us only leads to a dead end," said a strongman of the Heaven Slaughter Sect coldly, his eyes flashing with a ruthless light.
At the same time, in the secret hall of Longyuan Immortal Sect, Longling and the other core disciples nervously discussed the upcoming plan of action.
They naturally know about the matter of Ma Spirit Void Valley; however, Longyuan Immortal Sect is secretly plotting, slowly scheming, while the Heaven Slaughter Sect is openly doing this so blatantly, which conveniently serves as a scapegoat for Longyuan Immortal Sect.
He knows that only when the strengths of the major powers have been roughly depleted can they make a move and seize control of Tianji Shengyu in one fell swoop; but compared to those super masters, his own accumulated strength is still insufficient.
"We must ensure our actions are not detected by other forces." Longling said in a low voice, "The subterranean creatures have already spread the counterfeit Myriad Source Mother Essence and false rumors; now what we need to do is wait, wait for them to continue killing each other until their strength is exhausted."
Ziyang True Person Zhang Zhedian nodded, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes: "The subterranean creatures are ready; they will continue to monitor the movements of all major powers in the underworld, and once there is any change, they will transmit it immediately."
And in the Tianji Abyss, the Nine-Tailed Fox King and the other demon kings were also nervously preparing, utilizing the natural terrain and the power of the stone steles in the abyss to construct a powerful defense system, ensuring that the rear of the ferocious beasts would be safe before the battle begins.
"Everything is ready; next we just wait for the right moment to act." The Nine-Tailed Fox King's voice echoed in the abyss, full of determination.
The Bear King waved his huge fists, his eyes flashing with the light of battle: "We've waited too long; this operation will surely scare the Huanyu cultivators out of their wits."
Huang Daxian was even calmer, holding a golden staff in his hand: "We must by no means be careless; if the timing of the dampness outbreak is wrong, and the human cultivators have not been sufficiently depleted, they will surely be forced to unite, and then turn against us."
Just then, a subterranean creature appeared silently in the abyss, bringing the latest intelligence from Longyuan Immortal Sect.
The Nine-Tailed Fox King took the intelligence, a gleam flashing in his eyes: "Haha, the major powers have already begun fighting over the Myriad Source Mother Essence without cease; in fact, it's even better than we expected."
All the ferocious beasts let out earth-shaking roars, their eyes filled with the desire for battle.
The Nine-Tailed Fox King raised his nine tails, each emitting a different light, as if nine different elemental laws were intertwining, magnificent and splendid.
In the turmoil of Tianji Shengyu, the surging waves lurking beneath the undercurrents are ready to erupt at any moment.
Longling and the Nine-Tailed Fox King's plan has matured; what they are waiting for is the critical moment capable of overturning the power balance of Tianji Shengyu in one fell swoop.
In the secret hall of Longyuan Immortal Sect, Longling's gaze was like a sword that pierces through time and space, knowing that this moment has arrived.
He slowly rose to his feet, scanning each core disciple in the hall; their eyes flashed with the same determination and anticipation.
"Brothers," Longling's voice echoed in the hall, firm and powerful, "Our plan has matured; now is the time to act. We will seize control of Tianji Shengyu together with our demon allies."
Zhi Dun and the other disciples responded in unison, their eyes flashing with anticipation for the impending battle.
At the same time, in the Tianji Abyss, the Nine-Tailed Fox King stood on a huge boulder, his nine tails swaying gently, his eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.
"Everyone," the Nine-Tailed Fox King's voice sounded like a spring breeze brushing over a hill, gentle yet powerful, "Our allies are ready; now is the time to display our strength."
The Bear King and Huang Daxian stood respectively to the left and right of the Nine-Tailed Fox King, his eyes filled with the desire for battle.
The Bear King's body was huge as a mountain, every muscle containing explosive power, while Huang Daxian was even calmer, holding a golden staff in his hand, the staff inlaid with a dazzling gem that emitted mysterious power.
Under the summons of the Nine-Tailed Fox King, all the beasts let out earth-shaking roars, their eyes filled with the desire for battle and the bloodthirsty anticipation of victory.
As Longyuan Immortal Sect and the demon clan took action, the situation in Tianji Shengyu became even more tense.
And in this turmoil, a mysterious force named "Shadow Moon" rose silently, moving like ghosts between the major powers, gathering intelligence and covertly influencing the development of the battle.
The leader of Shadow Moon, a woman named "Yinming," her eyes flashing with profound light, her plans and purposes even beyond the full comprehension of Longling and the Nine-Tailed Fox King.
Yinming stood in the secret hall of Shadow Moon, the corner of her mouth curling into a mysterious smile; she knew that the outcome of this battle would be the best opportunity for her rise.
"The moment has arrived," Yinming's voice echoed in the hall of Shadow Moon, her eyes flashing with an uncanny light: "I beseech the dust-sealed realm, henceforth dwell in light, and slay them until heaven and earth are overturned."
……
At the heart of Tianji Shengyu, the flames of battle have already been ignited; the disciples of Longyuan Immortal Sect, under Longling's command, like stealthy leopards, moved silently along the edges of the major powers' battlefields, seeking the best moment to strike.
Their goal is not to directly participate in the battle, but to seek opportunities in the chaos, weaken the opponents, and prepare for the final struggle for control.
And in the Tianji Abyss, the Nine-tailed Fox King's demon clan army had already assembled, their power gathering in the abyss to form a powerful storm.
The Nine-tailed Fox King's eyes flashed with resolute light, "Our ancestors are watching us; today, for glory and survival, we charge out of the Tianji Mountains!" His voice echoed in the abyss, igniting the fighting spirit of every demon beast.
Longling stood atop the high tower of History Tiger City, holding a token that emitted a faint glow, this being the signal agreed upon with the Nine-tailed Fox King.
He took a deep breath, then crushed the token with force. A beam of light shot straight up into the clouds, this being the signal for action.
In the Tianji Abyss, the Nine-tailed Fox King felt the signal's power, raised both hands, and his nine tails danced in the air, releasing a blinding light.
"Demon clan warriors, charge!"
The demon clan's army surged out of the Tianji Abyss like a tide, their roars shaking heaven and earth, making the entire Tianji Shengyu tremble.
At that moment, the disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect also began their actions, appearing like ghosts behind the various forces and launching deadly strikes.
At that moment, Youming of Shadow Moon also smiled, she lightly waved her hand, and the Shadow Moon members, like shadows in the night, silently merged into the battlefield, beginning their hunt.
The battle in the Tianji Shengyu entered a new stage, with the major powers fighting each other in the chaos, while the alliance of the Longyuan Immortal Sect and the demon clan secretly sought opportunities to expand their influence.
Shadow Moon, meanwhile, sought its own opportunity in this chaos; their goal was not to control the Tianji Shengyu, but to break free from the seals of the dust-sealed realm.
The war horn had already sounded, and the skyline of the Tianji Shengyu was dyed blood-red by the flames of war.
Under Longling's leadership, the disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect moved like nocturnal shadows, weaving through the battlefields of the major powers, targeting cultivators exhausted from the melee and unguarded treasures.
At the same time, the ferocious beast army led by the Nine-tailed Fox King swept over like a raging torrent, their appearance making the already chaotic battlefield even more chaotic.
The ferocious beasts' power was great and savage, aiming to directly destroy the enemy's defenses and seize control.
"Kill!" the Nine-tailed Fox King's voice rose, his nine tails dancing in the air, releasing great power that inspired the demon clan's warriors.
Youming of Shadow Moon meanwhile observed all this from the shadows, a cunning glint flashing in her eyes.
She knew the true opportunity lay in the details overlooked in battle, the secrets hidden within the chaos.
"Shadow Moon's children, advance." Youming whispered, her figure vanishing into the shadows, leaving only a faint silhouette.
On the battlefield, in a forgotten corner, the Shadow Moon members moved silently, targeting an ancient relic where a legendary ancient treasure was said to be hidden.
The battle intensified, the earth of the Tianji Shengyu trembled, and the skies burned.
At this moment, an unexpected event occurred: a mysterious organization called the Heavenly Initiation suddenly appeared, their goals seemingly different from all factions, as if they were seeking a specific target.
"We must find that thing; it concerns the fate of us all." The leader of the Heavenly Initiation, a mysterious figure named Xingchen, had his voice resonate in every member's heart.
Their power was mysterious and mighty, their goal seemingly involving the deepest secrets of the Tianji Shengyu.
With the mysterious intervention of the Heavenly Initiation, Xingchen, as its leader, saw through the smoke of battle and locked onto an ancient prophecy—a prophecy concerning the fate of the Tianji Shengyu—whose key lay hidden in the impending Blood Moon Night.
"The Blood Moon approaches; then heaven and earth will change color, the ancient seal will be lifted, and true power will awaken." Xingchen softly chanted the ancient incantation; the fulfillment of this prophecy would completely overturn the power structure of the Tianji Shengyu.
After receiving Xingchen's message atop the high tower of History Tiger City, Longling furrowed his brows.
He realized that the emergence of the Heavenly Initiation might affect the Longyuan Immortal Sect's plans, and immediately ordered: "We must find Xingchen before the Blood Moon Night and stop his plans."
In the abyss, the Nine-tailed Fox King also sensed this mysterious power, a flicker of wariness crossing his eyes.
Although the beast clan's army was powerful, facing this unknown power they did not dare be careless, immediately summoning the beast clan's kings to discuss countermeasures.
"The Blood Moon Night approaches; that will be the moment that decides fate." The Nine-tailed Fox King's voice echoed in the abyss, and the beast clan's warriors began to heighten their vigilance.
Youming was in the Shadow Moon's secret hall, idly playing with an ancient coin she had obtained during an expedition, a mysterious item.
She felt that this coin had some mysterious connection to the Heavenly Initiation's prophecy.
"Shadow Moon members, we must find Xingchen before the Blood Moon Night and understand his true purpose." Youming's voice transmitted through the Shadow Moon's network, and the members began to act, targeting Xingchen and that prophecy which could change everything.
As the Blood Moon Night drew near, the atmosphere in the Tianji Shengyu grew increasingly tense.
Finally, the Blood Moon Night arrived.
The moon in the sky turned blood-red, and the entire Tianji Shengyu was shrouded in a mysterious red light.
Xingchen stood upon an ancient altar, began the ritual, his voice echoing in the night sky as the ancient incantation activated the altar's power.
Longling and the Nine-tailed Fox King led their forces to the altar, preparing to stop Xingchen's ritual.
Youming, meanwhile, observed from the shadows; the coin in her hand began to emit a faint glow, she knew this moment would reveal all secrets.
Boom—
Xingchen's ritual reached its climax, a massive gate of light appeared above the altar, and a powerful force surged from it, shaking the entire Tianji Shengyu.
Everyone halted their actions, their eyes drawn to that mysterious light gate.
"This is the gate to the ancient era, the true source of power in the Tianji Shengyu." Xingchen's voice echoed in the night sky, a victorious smile spreading across his face.
But just then, Youming's figure suddenly appeared beside Xingchen, the coin in her hand blazing with light: "You think you understand everything, Xingchen, but you are merely a pawn in the prophecy."
As Youming's words fell, the light from her coin collided with the power of the light gate, triggering a massive explosion.
The explosion's aftershocks rippled through the Tianji Shengyu, the altar of the Blood Moon Night becoming a vortex of power, the force surging from the ancient light gate intertwining and colliding with the mysterious glow of Youming's coin, producing unforeseen changes.
Longling and the Nine-tailed Fox King were forced to retreat by the blast's impact, their eyes filled with shock and unease.
They realized this battle had surpassed their expectations, involving far deeper powers.
"This power… it does not belong to our era." Longling's voice trembled as he watched the light continuously pouring from the gate, a sense of unprecedented crisis welling up in his heart.
The Nine-tailed Fox King's nine tails were tightly coiled together, his power at this moment seeming insignificant. "Quickly find a solution, or we will all be devoured by this power."
Xingchen was blown away by the explosion, the ritual interrupted, the power in the light gate becoming unstable, the entire altar beginning to tremble.
A flicker of fear crossed his eyes, knowing his plan had slipped out of control.
"Impossible… I am the destined victor of the prophecy!" Xingchen struggled to stand, trying to regain control, but the power in the light gate was no longer under his command.
Youming remained relatively calm in the blast, the coin in her hand now embedded in the altar's center, becoming the key to stabilizing the light gate's power.
She knew this coin was a bridge linking past and future, the key to controlling this power.
"We must not let this power fall into any side's hands, or the Tianji Shengyu will face destruction." Youming's voice rang clear amid the chaos, her gaze steadfast.
"Disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect, now is not the time for infighting; we must unite against this unknown power!" Longling's voice rang in each disciple's heart, they began to obey, joining with the demon clan and Shadow Moon members to form a grand array, attempting to seal the light gate.
