Chapter 694

Watching the Qingtian Holy Land's Shèngzhǔ being chased by the Heavenly Tribulation and running around in panic, everyone felt utterly unreal.

Before this, no one could have imagined things would develop into this situation; the Dao Yi Sect actually had someone break through to the Great Emperor.

And with their own Shèngzhǔ suppressed by the Heavenly Tribulation, the mindset of all the Holy Land Elders was naturally affected as well.

It's like you were full of confidence, but once you engaged, you discovered the opponent was far from as simple as you thought.

"Hey hey, no way, the Qingtian Holy Land might not actually be able to take down the Dao Yi Sect."

"It's not just seeming, it's true."

With a Great Emperor, the Dao Yi Sect indeed now has the qualification to fight the Qingtian Holy Land.

Unless the Qingtian Holy Land dispatches another Great Emperor, and the two of them jointly surround and kill Yu Mo, only then could they possibly take down the Dao Yi Sect.

But for now, the Qingtian Holy Land's Great Emperor wanting to rush over cannot be done in a short time.

So the final outcome of this battle is truly unpredictable.

The Heavenly Tribulation kept striking down; Yu Mo clung tightly to the Qingtian Holy Land's Shèngzhǔ, and after several bolts, the Shèngzhǔ had none of his earlier composure left, his entire appearance utterly miserable.

Yu Mo wasn't doing much better either, but he didn't care about that, still clinging tightly to the Qingtian Holy Land's Shèngzhǔ.

"Damn it."

He kept cursing angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

On the other side, on the battlefield of the Great Saint Realm, the Dao Yi Sect fought ever more bravely, relying on the traps they had set earlier and their numerical advantage, gradually seizing the initiative.

The traps that were previously disregarded now played a huge role.

A Holy Land Elder would step into a trap with just a moment's carelessness, and then be directly attacked by formations and talisman seals.

Most absurdly, in one place the Dao Yi Sect people actually managed to lay several traps, making them impossible to guard against, and there were even confusion drugs.

Anyway, they used any means capable of killing the enemy.

"Despicable and shameless."

Having to fend off the Dao Yi Sect's attacks while also watching out for traps, the Holy Land Elders angrily cursed.

"How can a life-and-death fierce battle be called despicable and shameless?"

"You..............."

We've already clashed; surely we can still use some tactics.

The Qingtian Holy Land was suppressed, leaving the onlookers staring in shock—this is a Holy Land, after all, and the Human Race of Zhongzhou only has the Three Holy Lands.

Holy Lands have always been synonymous with supreme authority; no force has ever dared to contend with them.

But now, the Qingtian Holy Land seems to have been pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Dao Yi Sect.

"Madman, you madman."

Qin Shan Hai single-mindedly chased a Holy Land Elder, hacking wildly; after breaking through to the Great Saint Realm, his vitality surged, making him fight even more recklessly.

Though his injuries were not light, Qin Shan Hai gave them no thought at all.

Facing the Holy Land Elder's attacks, he didn't bother with defense at all; in short, if he could get you, he would get you.

After exchanging blows, that Holy Land Elder no longer dared to clash head-on with Qin Shan Hai.

Although his cultivation was higher than Qin Shan Hai's, this guy was completely reckless.

One Holy Land Elder after another was severely wounded; seeing the situation spiral out of control, the Qingtian Holy Land's Shèngzhǔ, having broken free from another Heavenly Tribulation, gritted his teeth and issued the retreat order.

He was naturally unwilling, but at present it was obvious they could not continue fighting; even if he didn't want to, he had to admit that they, the Qingtian Holy Land, had lost this battle.

They lost to a barbarian sect from Dongzhou.

Upon hearing the Shèngzhǔ's retreat order, the Holy Land Elders no longer cared about losing face and immediately began to withdraw.

Afterwards, the Dao Yi Sect naturally would not let them escape so easily; Qing Shi seized the opportunity, flung out his hook, and immediately snagged a Holy Land Elder.

"Come back."

"Save me........."

After breaking through to the Great Saint Realm, Qing Shi's hook became ever more accurate, and its power is formidable to all strong ones; even if a Holy Land Elder gets hooked, it's more ominous than auspicious.

With tremendous force, unreasonably, it directly hauled that Holy Land Elder back.

Then came facing the encirclement and assault by numerous Dao Yi Sect Great Saints.

Seeing this, the other Holy Land Elders didn't dare to go rescue him at all, and fled without looking back.

As for the Holy Land Elder left behind, his fate was easy to imagine—he was surrounded and killed by the Dao Yi Sect.

Seeing yet another Holy Land Elder fall into the hands of the Dao Yi Sect, the Qingtian Holy Land's Shèngzhǔ's eyes burned with rage.

But he had not yet lost his reason; he suppressed his anger and quickly led his people away from the battlefield.

The Qingtian Holy Land withdrew, having paid the price of one Holy Land Elder, and fled in disarray.

Watching the Qingtian Holy Land flee without looking back, the surrounding cultivators stood frozen in place, some muttering to themselves.

"The heavens of Zhongzhou are likely to change."

"Certainly, after this, the Dao Yi Sect will truly make a name for itself in Zhongzhou."

"Could a fourth Holy Land appear?"

"You're oversimplifying things; while it's shocking that the Dao Yi Sect has a Great Emperor holding the fort, the Qingtian Holy Land certainly isn't limited to just one Great Emperor."

"However, each of the Three Holy Lands has multiple Great Emperors stationed; with only one Great Emperor, the Dao Yi Sect still isn't qualified to be ranked alongside the Three Holy Lands."

"Moreover, after this battle the Qingtian Holy Land will surely be truly enraged."

Many cultivators discussed it, and most were not optimistic about the Dao Yi Sect.

But no matter what they say, from this battle alone the Dao Yi Sect's fame in Zhongzhou is certain.

Moreover, the Dao Yi Sect's current strength, even if it still cannot stand on equal footing with the Three Holy Lands, is absolutely the force closest to them, with no rival.

Other powerful forces like the Tian Yu Huang Chao and the Bai family have all been overwhelmed by the Dao Yi Sect.

Luan Dao seemed to be that Holy Land Elder, took his Space Ring, and Qi Xiong and the others also did not continue the pursuit.

After the battle, everyone's injuries were not light; do not pursue a desperate enemy, and even if you catch up, you may not be able to keep them.

Leave, let's get out of here first.

Yu Mo said to everyone, and immediately Qi Xiong put away the Spirit City; the group boarded a Spatial Spirit Vessel and left.

Inside the Spirit Vessel, everyone took healing pills; Yu Mo looked at Yuan Cang and Wang Man and said.

"How is it? Still unable to break through?"

"One can sense the opportunity for a breakthrough, but it's always just a little short."

"Don't rush; there will be plenty of opportunities later."

This time only Yu Mo successfully broke through to the Emperor Realm; Wang Man and Yuan Cang, always just a little short, were firmly stuck at the bottleneck.

Yet both felt that sliver of breakthrough opportunity; the breakthrough is now not far away.

Perhaps next time they will be able to break through.

Yu Mo also didn't say much more; the breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm indeed cannot be forced, and even though he is now a Great Emperor expert, frankly, he really has nothing to teach the two.

Everyone's breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm is different; what Yu Mo said may be of no use to Wang Man and Yuan Cang at all, and they can only rely on themselves.
