Chapter 655: Battle Spoils, The Fickleness of Fate

A sky-obscuring Profound Wood floated within the void battlefield.

The Perfection-level Wood Rule surrounded the entire Profound Wood, with a true meaning of the Wood Dao Law suppressing within it.

As a creation evolved from Perfection-level rules, this massive Profound Wood existed between the illusory and the real, not far from becoming a true living being.

If left to survive in the void, allowed to absorb the energy of the void to perfect itself.

Given enough time, this Profound Wood would transform and grow into a true Ancient Wood Spirit.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul realm expert of the Green Demon Clan, previously targeted by the Profound Wood Ancestor, was firmly sealed within this Profound Wood.

After successfully suppressing his target, the Profound Wood Ancestor did not greedily seek further spoils.

"Let's go!"

After speaking softly, the Profound Wood Ancestor immediately took the Profound Wood sealing the Green Demon Clan's Nascent Soul expert.

And the two other human ancestors in the battlefield, whose auras were somewhat weak, nearing the end of their lifespans, and on the verge of complete Dao dissolution, returned first to the Earth Profound Realm.

At the same time the Profound Wood Ancestor acted, the other seventeen human experts had also taken action one after another.

Unfortunately, the commotion caused by suppressing a Nascent Soul expert was simply too great.

The moment the Profound Wood Ancestor acted, many Nascent Soul experts of the Green Demon Clan in relatively nearby battlefields sensed something was wrong.

Especially the Evil Abyss Emperor, who had already harbored doubts in his heart.

When the Profound Wood Ancestor acted to suppress a Nascent Soul expert, revealing his existence and aura.

The Evil Abyss Emperor, who first sensed the Profound Wood Ancestor's cultivation aura, immediately changed color and used his spiritual sense to issue an immediate warning to all Nascent Soul experts of the Green Demon Clan in the void: "Not good, this is a human trap, retreat quickly."

With the Evil Abyss Emperor's warning, plus the commotion caused by the Profound Wood Ancestor's action making some nearby Green Demon Clan Nascent Soul experts wary.

Many Nascent Soul experts of the Green Demon Clan began to quickly break away from the battlefield, fleeing this void at the fastest speed.

Furthermore, the void where the two clans' battlefield was located was not far from the Green Demon Clan's border wall.

This resulted in seven of the Green Demon Clan experts targeted by the other seventeen human experts narrowly escaping death, retreating into the Green Demon Clan's border wall to survive the calamity.

Consequently, including the Green Demon Clan Nascent Soul expert sealed by the Profound Wood Ancestor, the humans this time only captured eleven ordinary Nascent Soul experts of the Green Demon Clan.

On the other side.

After issuing the warning, the Evil Abyss Emperor did not retreat immediately at first.

Ignoring the pressure from the Lingxiao Sect Master, he fought while retreating, simultaneously spreading his spiritual sense at extreme speed to rapidly probe the void of other battlefields.

If an opportunity arose, the Evil Abyss Emperor also prepared to repay in kind, killing or severely injuring a human Nascent Soul expert.

However, after the other seventeen human experts lying in ambush within the void took action one after another, revealing themselves.

Upon realizing that besides the Lingxiao Sect Master, there were eighteen other human experts in the void who had comprehended a trace of the true meaning of the Great Dao Law, with cultivation auras only slightly weaker than his own, absolute experts.

The Evil Abyss Emperor's face instantly changed drastically; he could no longer care about finding an opportunity to retaliate against human experts, broke free from the Lingxiao Sect Master's entanglement, and fled back into the Green Demon Clan's border wall.

Watching the fleeing figure of the Evil Abyss Emperor, the Lingxiao Sect Master shook his head slightly with regret, but he did not pursue.

Not only had the Evil Abyss Emperor comprehended a trace of the true meaning of the Great Dao Law, his life level had already transformed and strengthened; his vitality could not be extinguished by ordinary means.

Simply the Immortal Artifacts carried by the Evil Abyss Emperor were enough for him to escape easily.

This was also the reason the humans' target for this operation was ordinary Nascent Soul experts of the Green Demon Clan who lacked Immortal Artifact protection.

To capture a Nascent Soul expert protected by an Immortal Artifact.

Would not only require deploying more trump cards, but the success rate would also be much lower.

If the opponent ruthlessly chose to self-detonate their Immortal Artifact, it would result in a situation of mutual destruction, rendering the humans' planned ambush meaningless.

After the Green Demon Clan experts gradually fled this realm's void.

The Lingxiao Sect Master surveyed the many human experts in the realm's void who had just finished their warm-up and seemed somewhat unsatisfied, and spoke with a smile:

"Let's go, we shall return as well!"

Immediately, the group of human experts also broke away from the realm's void and vanished.

Inside the great hall of the Green Demon Realm.

The Green Demon Clan experts who had just been fighting the humans in the void appeared one after another and took their seats.

However, compared to before, all the Green Demon Clan experts now wore gloomy expressions, their faces filled with embarrassment, frustration, or anger.

After all the Nascent Soul experts of the Green Demon Clan who had escaped the void had gathered, the Evil Abyss Emperor of the Green Demon Clan spoke with a cold face:

"This battle lasted only half a cup of tea."

"And our Green Demon Clan lost eleven Nascent Soul experts, while the humans suffered not a single scratch."

"The reason lies in the fact that besides the old man Lingxiao, the humans this time added eighteen other experts who had comprehended a trace of the true meaning of the Great Dao Law."

Speaking here, the Evil Abyss Emperor's cold gaze swept over the many Green Demon Clan experts in the hall.

As fellow Nascent Soul experts, without a key breakthrough or the aid of an Immortal Artifact, even two or three Nascent Soul experts besieging one would never determine a winner in such a short time.

Let alone being sealed on the spot as easily as in the void just now, losing even a shred of chance to escape.

Thinking of how many experts in the hall previously ignored his proposal and argued endlessly over the distribution of Rule Crystals, the Evil Abyss Emperor could not help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

But he knew that getting angry now would be of no use.

Thus, after a moment of silence, the Evil Abyss Emperor took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued speaking:

"From today on, all experts in our Green Demon Clan who have mastered the Art of Arrays shall be summoned to the headquarters to construct the Dao-Comprehending Hall, using great arrays to slow the speed at which Great Dao Law fragments merge into the world after the Rule Crystals are unsealed, allowing our clan to maximize the utilization of the Rule Crystals."

"Once the Dao-Comprehending Hall is successfully built, all Nascent Soul experts in our Green Demon Clan who primarily cultivate the same type of Rule Power shall gather in the Dao-Comprehending Hall of the Alliance Headquarters to meditate together on the corresponding Rule Crystals."

"Furthermore, wake the Nascent Soul experts sleeping in the various Imperial Dynasties in batches to comprehend the Rule Crystals together, cultivating as many experts who comprehend the Great Dao Law as possible."

"At that time, I will personally guard your Dao."

As a Mid-Heaven Peak World no weaker than the Earth Profound Realm, the foundation within the Green Demon Realm was equally unfathomable.

Especially within the various long-established Green Demon Imperial Dynasties, the number of Nascent Soul experts sleeping through various methods was also not small.

Except for certain lone wanderers who self-sealed and slept in various hidden places as their lifespans neared their end, the Nascent Soul experts sleeping within the various Green Demon Imperial Dynasties could be awakened at any time. Hearing the Evil Abyss Emperor's words, several Nascent Soul experts in the hall still showed hesitation on their faces.

One of the Nascent Soul experts opened his mouth slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, wanting to say something: "But"

The Evil Abyss Emperor saw this and directly interrupted, saying, "This matter concerns the future of our Green Demon Clan, and even more so, your future paths and survival."

"If anyone opposes, or attacks a clansman during the seclusion period; no matter who it is, the entire clan shall jointly destroy them."

"I do not wish for our clan to fall behind again in future clashes with the Human Race. I will absolutely not allow today's events to be repeated in the future."

"Regarding my proposal, who agrees? Who opposes?"

Having spoken, the Evil Abyss Emperor rose to his feet, unleashing his full majesty to press down upon the many powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan.

The killing intent manifesting in his gaze was revealed without any restraint.

After a moment of silence in the great hall, Mo Xie Great Venerable, the arch-rival of Cen Zhe, finally rose and slowly spoke:

"This Venerable agrees with the Evil Abyss Emperor's proposal! At such a critical juncture, whoever dares to sabotage our clan's grand plan shall be jointly destroyed."

Mo Xie Great Venerable had already strongly agreed with the Evil Abyss Emperor's proposal.

The original text is reading!

Especially after the setback of the war between the two races here? Not only Mo Xie Great Venerable, but also the other Mahayana realm powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan who had previously opposed the Evil Abyss Emperor's proposal.

After experiencing the battle in the realm void just now, their mindsets had already changed, and they agreed with the Evil Abyss Emperor's proposal.

Therefore, after Mo Xie Great Venerable spoke, the many Mahayana realm powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan in the hall also spoke up one by one, choosing to support the Evil Abyss Emperor's proposal: "Our Guhuang Imperial Court also supports the Evil Abyss Emperor's proposal; if anyone resists, they shall be jointly destroyed!"

"The Demon Wasteland Imperial Court second the motion; if anyone resists, they shall be jointly destroyed!"

"I, Mo Xing, second the motion; if anyone resists, they shall be jointly destroyed!"

"Since that is the case, let us proceed according to the Evil Abyss Emperor's proposal! I also agree."

In an instant, stimulated by the powerful figures of the Human Race, the many Mahayana realm powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan in the hall all agreed to the Evil Abyss Emperor's proposal.

Even if there were still some in the hall who were dissatisfied in their hearts, seeing this scene, they dared not openly oppose again.

And all of this was unknown to the powerful figures of the Human Race far away in the Di Xuan Realm.

The Human Race's original plan was to leverage the advantages brought by the plan to integrate the various realms and their surging strength to weaken a portion of the Green Demon Clan's high-level combat power in advance.

And in this battle in the realm void, although the Human Race powerful figures successfully ambushed and sealed eleven ordinary Mahayana realm powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan as planned, weakening the Green Demon Clan's high-end combat power to a certain extent.

It also made the many Mahayana realm powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan, who were originally full of confidence and wary and suspicious of each other, feel unprecedented pressure.

They were ultimately forced to change their previous thoughts and choose to support the Evil Abyss Emperor's proposal.

One can only say that fate is unpredictable and creation plays tricks on people.

At the same time, within the Di Xuan Realm.

The powerful figures of the Human Race who had just returned to the Di Xuan Realm had also gathered together.

However, they did not return to the previous great hall, but came to a plain in the Central Region.

On this plain at this moment, besides the group of Mahayana realm powerful figures of the Human Race, there were also eleven Mahayana realm powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan sealed by the Human Race powerful figures.

The seals on these eleven Mahayana realm powerful figures of the Green Demon Clan were either rule constructs formed by divine arts or artifacts of various forms, including the Profound Heaven Sect's Profound Wood Ancestor's rule-condensed Profound Wood that blocked out the sky and the sun.

After scanning the scene for a moment and looking at the results of this battle, Ling Xiao Temple Master, who had promoted this battle, contentedly stroked his beard, smiled, and was about to speak.

However, he did not expect that at this moment, two Mahayana realm powerful figures in the crowd exchanged glances, suddenly stepped forward, and spoke in unison first:

"Fellow Daoists, our two lives have reached their end and we are about to transform into the Dao. We shall take our leave first!"

These two Mahayana realm powerful figures were one, Gu Jianyun, an ancestor awakened by the Immortal Profound Sect, and the other, Tai Yuanxu, an ancestor awakened by the Dao Profound Sect.

They were both figures from hundreds of thousands of years ago in the Di Xuan Realm.

After being awakened and unsealed, their lifespans were already running low, plus the time consumed by comprehending the rule crystals and the recent void battle.

Gu Jianyun and Tai Yuanxu had already exhausted their last spark of life.

It was seen that as soon as the words fell, starlight began to scatter from around Gu Jianyun and Tai Yuanxu.

Obviously, if not for their Mahayana realm cultivation base propping them up, the two of them would have already transformed into the Dao amidst heaven and earth right there on the spot.

Seeing this scene, the Mahayana realm powerful figures present fell silent for a moment, their faces showing varying degrees of sorrow, and then, without agreement, bowed to the two and said:

"We respectfully see off the two fellow Daoists!"

Seeing this, Gu Jianyun and Tai Yuanxu smiled freely and transformed into streams of light, flying towards their respective sects.

This time, the two of them did not vanish into the void to travel, but wanted to view the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Di Xuan Realm hundreds of thousands of years later before returning to their sects to transform into the Dao.

Among the crowd, the Immortal Profound Sect Master, Xian Xuanzi, and the Dao Profound Sect Master, Dao Xuan, could not help but show sorrowful expressions on their faces.

Silently transforming into streams of light, they followed behind Gu Jianyun and Tai Yuanxu respectively, escorting their sect's ancestors back to the sect.

After the four of them left, Ling Xiao Temple Master sighed slightly, then straightened his expression and spoke:

"After this battle, the high levels of the Green Demon Clan will absolutely not dare to act rashly in the short term and will not easily leave the Green Demon Realm again."

"Taking this opportunity, our Di Xuan Realm must quickly use the rule crystals to enhance the strength of all fellow Daoists."

"According to the previous plan, after returning, all fellow Daoists should quickly awaken the senior fellow Daoists who mainly cultivate the Water Rule. Come to the Alliance Headquarters in three years to comprehend the Water Great Dao rule crystals together."

"As for the eleven Mahayana realm Green Demon Clan members sealed by us this time."

After pondering for a moment, Ling Xiao Temple Master continued to speak:

"The spiritual power cultivation of the Mahayana realm has already reached the perfection level below the Immortal Realm. The cultivation of us old fellows cannot be improved by these eleven Mahayana realm Green Demon Clan powerful figures."

"Time is pressing now; for every bit of strength added, our Di Xuan Realm gains another chance of victory in the future."

"I suggest that after extinguishing the life force of these eleven Mahayana realm Green Demon Clan members, we place their corpses into the Alliance Treasury, allowing the Tribulation Crossing realm juniors of each sect to compete fairly and exchange for them."

"We Mahayana realm powerful figures shall not interfere. Set a threshold to let the Tribulation Crossing realm juniors of each sect freely compete; the winner takes all."

"Using the corpses of these eleven Mahayana realm Green Demon Clan powerful figures to shorten the growth time of some geniuses among the Tribulation Crossing realm juniors of our Di Xuan Realm. What do all fellow Daoists think?"
