Chapter 1649: Holy Fire Soars to the Heavens

The sudden anomaly atop the main peak quickly drew the attention of numerous disciples.

Under the watchful eyes of the Jade Pool Holy Land disciples, what was initially just a small flame above the main peak rapidly surged in size.

In barely ten breaths of time, the flames above the main peak became as dazzling and eye-catching as a second sun in the sky.

"This is..."

"The Holy Fire. I've read about it in ancient texts."

A disciple was the first to react, her complexion turning deathly pale.

The surrounding sisters, seeing her state, asked with curiosity.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong? What is the Holy Fire?"

"Yes, tell us, what is the Holy Fire?"

"Ancient texts record that each of our three great Holy Lands possesses a Holy Fire. When the Holy Fire burns, war begins—not just any war, but a war of extinction between two races."

"A war of extinction?"

"This... how could it..."

"The Holy Master ignited the Holy Fire. Could it be the Heavenly Rainbow Pass? The Undead Race?"

Upon learning the meaning of the Holy Fire, the Jade Pool Holy Land disciples stood frozen in place, their eyes filled with disbelief.

How could a war of extinction break out?

Although the disciples of this generation had never experienced a war of extinction—let alone them, even the generation of the Jade Pool Holy Master and the Great Emperor ancestors had never experienced one.

After all, countless years had passed since a war of extinction had erupted on the Haotu World.

Just as the disciples were stunned by the ignition of the Holy Fire, the voice of the Jade Pool Holy Master arrived right on cue.

"All disciples, gather at the main peak within a quarter of an hour. Those at the rank of deacon or above, proceed to the Sect Hall."

It was no joke; it was real. The battle at the front line, Heavenly Rainbow Pass, was even more severe than they had imagined.

The Undead Race was not launching a large-scale war, but a war of extinction.

"Quick, go to the main peak."

The disciples rushed toward the main peak, and the deacons and Elders also sped toward the Sect Hall at the summit.

Before long, all the Elders and deacons of the Jade Pool Holy Land had arrived at the main hall.

The Jade Pool Holy Master, leading them, along with the three Great Emperor ancestors, did not waste words and spoke bluntly.

"This time, the Undead Race is not just coming aggressively; they intend to provoke a war of extinction."

"As expected, but how dare they..."

"A war of extinction, regardless of victory or defeat, results in tragedy."

"Even for the victor, the casualties are countless, and it may even lead to a generational gap. As for the defeated, it goes without saying: the race perishes, vanishing from the Haotu World forever, becoming nothing but history."

A generational gap means that the powerhouses of a certain era are almost entirely killed in battle.

And until the next generation grows up, the entire race will lack the protection of top-tier powerhouses.

Therefore, no race dares to easily provoke a war of extinction.

Everyone present was shocked by this news, but at this moment, the Jade Pool Holy Master said coldly.

"Quiet."

"We have no choice in this war, and it cannot be avoided. Great Elder."

"Holy Master."

"Open the treasury. Keep nothing; use everything to handle the war."

"Second Elder."

"Distribute all elixirs, talismans, and array disks stored in the Holy Land to every person. Keep nothing back."

"Everyone else, organize the disciples to collect combat supplies and immediately head to Heavenly Rainbow Pass to prepare for battle."

The sect treasury, elixirs, talismans—nothing was to be kept.

Hearing the Jade Pool Holy Master's arrangements, everyone present nodded solemnly.

This was definitely not a game; it was time to fight with everything they had, as it concerned the survival of the entire human race.

"Keep the teleportation arrays running continuously. Make preparations and settle the various sects and cultivators."

Following the Jade Pool Holy Master's orders, the Jade Pool Holy Land treasury was opened, teleportation arrays soared into the sky, and the sect-protecting array was fully activated.

Furthermore, all the cities surrounding the Jade Pool Holy Land activated their teleportation arrays fully, without any regard for the consumption of spirit stones.

Looking from afar, in the region centered on the Jade Pool Holy Land, hundreds of light pillars from teleportation arrays connected heaven and earth, a truly spectacular sight.

Meanwhile, with the ignition of the Holy Fire, people everywhere in the human realm could clearly see a second sun inexplicably appearing in the sky.

Some were initially confused, and even joked.

"Huh, am I seeing things? Why are there two suns in the sky?"

"Are you still drunk from listening to music at the brothel last night? How could there be two suns in the sky?"

"There really are two. Look for yourself."

"I don't believe it, how could there be... Holy crap..."

The inexplicable appearance of another sun left numerous cultivators completely bewildered. What was going on?

These were low-level cultivators; although they had heard legends of the Holy Fire, they knew very little and did not immediately make the connection.

But at this moment, the major sects and dynasties were in complete chaos.

The high command of every sect looked up in unison toward the direction of the Jade Pool Holy Land, at that massive fireball capable of rivaling the true sun.

Every face revealed shock, their expressions solemn to the extreme.

"The Holy Fire..."

Some older-generation powerhouses muttered. ===== CHAPTER 1650 =====
