Chapter 103
The things that happened at Xuantian Peak.
With Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation realm, separated by such a distance, he was temporarily unable to discern the whole process.
However, after contacting Ye Qingxiao, Ye Qingxuan still knew everything.
And after the Xuantian Sect opened the spatial tunnel to the lower realm.
Other hegemon-level forces had also received the Xuantian Sect's message and began to use various means to investigate the situation of the subordinate worlds of the Di Xuan Realm.
Finally, it was learned that there were currently nine Small Thousand Worlds below that had been invaded by the Demon Clan, among which five Small Thousand Worlds had been completely converted into Demon Domains by the Demon Clan.
The other four Small Thousand Worlds had also converted more than half of their areas.
The humans of all nine Small Thousand Worlds had mostly become blood food for the Demon Clan.
With the foundation of the major hegemon-level forces, they naturally knew the harm after the Small Thousand Worlds were converted into Demon Domains.
So even knowing that this trip would be difficult, they were still not prepared to give up these nine Small Thousand Worlds.
But this time, facing the invasion of the entire Demon Clan, and the subordinate worlds below not only lost their home field advantage but instead became the home field of the Demon Clan.
As the situation reversed, it was quite difficult for them, these hegemon-level forces, to deal with it alone.
So, on the second day after the incident occurred.
The eighteen hegemon-level forces of the Earth Profound Realm: the seven major hegemon-level forces of the Central Region: the Xianxuan Sect, Lingxiao Temple, Qianyuan Sect, Zhantai Immortal Clan, Dao Sect, Xuansha Sect, and Jian Sect.
The three major hegemon-level forces of the Eastern Region: the Xuantian Sect, Tianyuan Sect, and Huangpu Immortal Clan.
The three major hegemon-level forces of the Southern Region: the Yuxuan Sect, Tian Sect, and Hearing Dao Xuan Gate.
The two major hegemon-level forces of the Western Region: the Wanfu Sect and Fahua Temple.
The three major hegemon-level forces of the Northern Region: the Haotian Mansion, Zhenmo Mansion, and Tiance Mansion.
Under the alliance of these eighteen hegemon-level forces, they began to conscript all forces and loose cultivators with Deity Transformation Realm cultivation and above in the five regions of the Di Xuan Realm, preparing to form a Deity Transformation Realm coalition army to counterattack the lower realm.
As for those above the Deity Transformation Realm, they naturally had their own arrangements.
Since the Demon Clan's conspiracy had been initially exposed, how could the Demon Clan's subsequent means be completely hidden from the Earth Profound Realm?
If it were just a simple counterattack on the nine fallen Small Thousand Worlds, relying on their eighteen hegemon-level forces would actually have been enough.
The reason they spent so much energy to form the Earth Profound Realm coalition army was naturally to deal with the Demon Clan's subsequent means.
Among these conscripted forces, most did not resist.
Because many in the coalition army were disciples from hegemon-level forces.
No one was a fool; these forces also knew the severity of the situation, and seeing that the disciples of the hegemon-level forces were not avoiding the war, they naturally would not shrink back.
Moreover, the origin obtained after slaying demons and sacrificing them was much more than the origin obtained after slaying those demonic creatures and sacrificing them.
In their view, this was war, but it was also an opportunity for them to break the shackles of their spirit root talent and reach a higher level.
Many cultivators had not experienced the cruelty of war and were now even somewhat eager to try.
However, among them, there were still a few forces that attempted to hide at the end, preparing to come out and sit back and reap the benefits after the foundations of other forces were exhausted.
Among them, there were even individual pseudo-hegemon-level forces with Mahayana Realm cultivators sitting in charge but no immortal artifacts to guard them.
In the region specifically left out by the three major hegemon-level forces of the Eastern Region for other forces to develop without restraint.
Within the Blood Fiend Sect, many people were gathered together at this time to discuss the matters of the hegemon-level forces' conscription.
At this time, a person sitting in the lower position asked with a worried expression:
"Sect Master, are we really not sending people to the Xuantian Sect to form an alliance?"
This person was the Great Elder of the Blood Fiend Sect.
The Di Xuan Realm was vast; although it was an alliance conscripting all forces in the five regions of the Di Xuan Realm, not everyone was gathered in one place.
Instead, it was divided according to the regions where the major hegemon-level forces were located, with the location of the hegemon-level forces as the base point to gather and integrate the powerhouses of all forces.
Then, unified mobilization rules were formulated.
Because only hegemon-level forces possessed this strength and foundation, they could open spatial tunnels at any time to send the coalition army to support the various realms below.
And the Blood Fiend Sect was in the region responsible by the Xuantian Sect and needed to accept the Xuantian Sect's conscription.
According to this timeline, the Blood Fiend Sect should have already sent people to the Xuantian Sect to accept the unified dispatch of the Di Xuan Realm coalition army.
But at this moment, they hadn't sent a single person.
Besides the Blood Fiend Sect, among the various forces not within the Xuantian Sect's sphere of influence, there were also a small number of forces watching the situation and not bringing people to the Xuantian Sect for the first time.
These forces developed outside the areas covered by the hegemon-level forces, and their ambitions were not small.
Moreover, developing in this chaotic place without rules and constraints, as long as they didn't destroy the spiritual veins, there was no need to abide by other rules and regulations formulated by the hegemon-level forces.
This had long made them forget the deterrent power of the hegemon-level forces.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master, sitting in the upper position, heard the Great Elder's words, saw the Great Elder's worried expression, and sneered:
"Great Elder, rest assured! With me here, our Blood Fiend Sect will be fine."
The Blood Fiend Sect Master himself was at the Mahayana Realm cultivation base, and he didn't believe the Xuantian Sect would dare to make a move against him rashly when facing the Demon Clan's invasion, provoking internal chaos in the Earth Profound Realm.
But the Great Elder of the Blood Fiend Sect still showed hesitation and was about to say something: "But..."
But he didn't expect to be interrupted directly by the Blood Fiend Sect Master: "There is no 'but'. We have been fighting in this chaotic place for many years, and now we are only one step away from being a hegemon-level force; we cannot fall short of success for lack of a final effort." "Great Elder, mind your status. This matter is something discussed by all the Elders and finally decided by this seat; there is no need to discuss it again in the future."
He had led the Blood Fiend Sect to fight for many years, and having finally broken through to the Mahayana Realm and developed the Blood Fiend Sect into a pseudo-hegemon-level force, he naturally wouldn't easily give up any opportunity to impact the hegemon-level force status.
Now the Blood Fiend Sect was only one immortal artifact away from being a hegemon-level force.
As for the Tenth Order spiritual veins, he naturally knew where they were; he was able to successfully break through to the Mahayana Realm, which was inseparable from the help of that Tenth Order spiritual vein.
Now, as long as he obtained another immortal artifact to guard the sect, his Blood Fiend Sect would be a true hegemon-level force.
And this invasion by the Demon Clan was the best opportunity for the Blood Fiend Sect to advance to a hegemon-level force.
The two-realm war was full of crises; a moment of carelessness could lead even a Mahayana Realm cultivator to end up with their body dead and their Dao vanished.
As long as one of the eighteen hegemon-level forces suffered heavy losses and all their Mahayana Realm cultivators fell, it would be the time for his Blood Fiend Sect to seize the immortal artifact and advance to a hegemon-level force.
By then, with the joint assistance of the immortal artifact and the Tenth Order spiritual veins, perhaps he would also have a chance to break through to the Immortal Realm and ascend to the upper realm.
Just as the Blood Fiend Sect Master was fantasizing about a beautiful future, a stern voice sounded, breaking his fantasy:
"Future? You have no future! The Blood Fiend Sect does not respect the Di Xuan Realm Alliance's conscription order, which is regarded as abandoning the entire Di Xuan Realm; according to the alliance's laws, you should be executed!"
As soon as the voice fell, Cen Zhe, holding the Xuantian Sword, had already appeared above the Blood Fiend Sect.
When Cen Zhe arrived, he happened to hear the last words they said.
Without any hesitation, the first sword was swung; a line of cold light cut through the space and cut toward the Blood Fiend Sect below.
Facing the sudden terrifying attack and feeling the destructive power contained in the sword light, the Blood Fiend Sect Master hurriedly took out a golden shield of Supreme Grade Spirit Treasure level to block in front of him.
The shield of Supreme Grade Spirit Treasure level appeared somewhat fragile in front of that sword light and was easily torn apart.
And the power of the sword light only slightly weakened, finally slamming directly onto the energy shield around the Blood Fiend Sect Master.
"Boom!"
Instantly, booming sounds rang out continuously, and the originally concentrated sword light exploded, turning into fine sword arcs that swept the entire field.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The Blood Fiend Sect Master was directly severely injured by this sword, spiritual blood flowing continuously, and the wound on his chest flickered with bursts of sword light, making the wound unable to heal for a long time.
Cen Zhe's first sword, while severely injuring the Blood Fiend Sect Master, killed everyone in the Blood Fiend Sect.
Immediately after, Cen Zhe swung the second sword lightly.
Seeing this, the Blood Fiend Sect Master's face changed greatly, wanting to break through the void to escape this place.
But he found that a bronze mirror covered with complex Dao patterns appeared above this piece of heaven and earth, suppressing this piece of void, making him unable to escape into the void to flee.
This bronze mirror was the Lower Grade Immortal Artifact Xuantian Mirror, one of the foundations of the Xuantian Sect, possessing the effect of sealing and suppressing.
The Xuantian Sect had quite a few ancestors who had ascended throughout the ages, so the foundation within the sect was naturally incomparably deep; it certainly wouldn't have only one immortal artifact to guard it.
Cen Zhe's second sword directly slashed and extinguished the body of the Blood Fiend Sect Master, leaving only the dim soul of the Blood Fiend Sect Master.
Subsequently, Cen Zhe swung the third sword again.
Seeing Cen Zhe swing his sword again, the Blood Fiend Sect Master hurriedly begged for mercy:
"Fellow Daoist Cen, spare my life, I am willing to fight for the Di Xuan Realm."
But the Blood Fiend Sect Master's words did not make Cen Zhe stop the movements in his hands.
This third sword directly extinguished the soul of the Blood Fiend Sect Master, letting the Blood Fiend Sect Master completely fall.
With only three swords, the pseudo-hegemon-level force that was famous in the chaotic place directly vanished into smoke and became history.
After doing all this, Cen Zhe cleaned up the battlefield, left here, and returned to the Xuantian Sect.
In troubled times, use heavy codes; now that the Di Xuan Realm Alliance had been successfully formed, they naturally didn't want certain forces to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor in the rear, or even stab them in the back at a critical moment.
So the first thing after the Di Xuan Realm Alliance was successfully formed was to wipe out these forces that were unwilling to contribute to the Di Xuan Realm.
While solving future troubles, it could also serve as a warning to others.
Not only the Xuantian Sect, but other hegemon-level forces were also dispatched one after another at this moment to wipe out those forces that were unwilling to join the Di Xuan Realm Alliance.
However, they only used the strongest forces in their respective regions to warn others; other forces that were still watching were still given a second chance.
Sure enough, under the warning of the major hegemon-level forces, other forces that were originally still watching were so scared that they hurried to the hegemon-level forces in their respective regions to join the Di Xuan Realm Alliance.
Thus, the alliance in the five regions of the Di Xuan Realm was finally successfully formed.
As for the four regions outside the Di Xuan Realm? They were tacitly ignored by everyone, so it's not worth mentioning! After the alliance was formed, the major hegemon-level forces began to build spatial tunnels to counterattack the nine Small Thousand Worlds that had already fallen.
As for why they didn't build spatial tunnels to connect to the various realms below before.
Firstly, building spatial tunnels consumed too much, and there was no profit to be gained.
Secondly, after building spatial tunnels, after people in the lower realm broke through to the Void Penetration Realm, they would no longer ascend across realms, but would be directly rejected by the Small Thousand Worlds and enter the Di Xuan Realm through the spatial tunnels.
Ascension was one of the few opportunities for cultivators to make up for their own foundation.
The major hegemon-level forces of the Di Xuan Realm wanted geniuses who had ascended from the lower realm and had already made up for their own foundation; in order to temper the geniuses of the lower realm, in normal times, they naturally wouldn't easily build spatial tunnels.
