Chapter 227: The Engagement

At the same time.

In the far-off regions to the north, at the border between the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty and the Dashang Dynasty.

A massive army was marching silently and quietly toward the battlefield.

They wore silver armor, held silver long spears, and had silver long swords hanging at their waists; their silver equipment appeared extremely refined.

If any cultivator of the Great Luo Realm were to look closely.

They would be able to discover that a hard-to-detect aura and power were enveloping this long and massive troop.

Clearly.

This was an elite army carrying out a stealthy, covert march.

Not only that.

To the northwest of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty, three more massive armies were quietly sneaking toward this side.

There were also two in the southwest.

One large, one small.

They were none other than the Kunlun Immortal Clan and the Longbo Kingdom giants who had previously followed the Dazhou Dynasty to attack the Dayu Dynasty.

This time.

The Kunlun Immortal Clan dispatched one billion immortal citizens, with the lowest cultivation being that of a Loose Immortal.

The Longbo Kingdom also dispatched one hundred thousand giants, with the lowest cultivation being that of a True Immortal.

Added to the three armies in the northwest and the one in the northeast, there were a total of four elite armies numbering over thirteen billion, with the lowest cultivation being at the Loose Immortal and Earth Immortal realms.

Such an elite army was already comparable to the most elite forces of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

Although the six elite armies were each in a state of stealthy forced marching, they were naturally still detected by the Great Luo of the Mysterious Gate and the God Race of the Divine Court who were in the firmament.

Above the territory of Qingqiu.

"Haha~!"

"Look, the reinforcements for the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty have arrived. If you God Race have no further tricks, in my opinion, you had better retreat quickly!"

Above the Qingqiu battlefield.

What the third-generation disciples of Daoism saw were the Kunlun Immortal Clan and the Longbo Kingdom giants from the southwest.

Above the territory of Taihe Mountain.

What the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect saw were the armies from the Guifang Kingdom, the Changbi Kingdom, and the Wuxian Kingdom from the northwest, totaling nine billion troops across three routes.

Above the territory of Suolong Pass.

What the third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect saw was the army of the Guixu Immortal Clan from the northeast.

Among the six supporting armies on three routes, the strongest were the allied forces of the Kunlun Immortal Clan and the Longbo giants to the southwest of Taihe Mountain.

Coupled with the renowned Guixu Immortal Court, these three elite forces were enough to provide a great boost to the morale of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

This made the disciples of the Mysterious Gate Three Teachings, who were in a standoff with the God Race in the sky, feel very gratified.

It was as if victory were right before their eyes.

However.

High above in the firmament.

Hundreds of figures stood quietly in the high sky, looking down at the border of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty on the Primordial Continent, all of them appearing lost in thought.

These hundreds of figures were the second-generation disciples of the Mysterious Gate and the Supreme Gods of the Divine Court.

For this great battle.

The Mysterious Gate and the Divine Court had tacitly divided the battlefield into three.

One was the war between the Taixuan and Dashang dynasties; one was the contest between the third and fourth-generation disciples of the Mysterious Gate and the Great Luo Gods of the Divine Court.

The last one was the contest between the Mysterious Gate, the Divine Court's Three God King Courts, and the masters of the numerous Pantheon Systems.

Looking at numbers alone, in any of the three battlefields, the gods of the Divine Court held an advantage over the disciples of the Mysterious Gate.

If not for the support of the six foreign human armies on three routes later on, the Dashang Dynasty would certainly have formed a crushing situation against the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

However.

With the addition of the six foreign human armies on three routes, combined with the several defensive formations of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty, the strength was now comparable to that of the Dashang Dynasty.

But the final result would still depend on their respective methods.

The entanglement between the Divine Court and the Mysterious Gate, and between Taixuan and Dashang—these two super-powers—soon attracted the attention of all forces on the Primordial Continent.

Among them.

There was no lack of the former Three Thousand Red Dust Guests of Zixiao Palace.

They were all watching.

Who was stronger and who was weaker between the Divine Court and the Mysterious Gate could be said to concern the leaning attitudes of all neutral forces in the Primordial Continent.

The first to start fighting was the first battlefield.

The war between the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty and the Dashang Dynasty.

If not for the appearance of the six foreign human armies, which gave the soldiers of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty morale and confidence, perhaps this first sturdy defensive line would have long since been taken by the Dashang Dynasty.

"Boom~~"

Just at this moment.

The second battlefield was initiated first by the Great Luo Gods of the Divine Court's Shanhai God King Court. In an instant.

Over one hundred thousand Great Luo Gods formed a massive formation and pressed down toward the mere tens of thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Mysterious Gate.

Divine power radiance permeated; how imposing were those over one hundred thousand powerful Great Luo Gods. The golden cloud formed by the gathering of their bodies was enough to change the world of a territory.

The momentum formed by the hundreds of thousands of Great Luo Realm cultivators on both sides was far from what could be compared to the Witch-Demon War.

At that time, Great Luo cultivators were not as prosperous and flourishing as they were now.

When two sides engage in battle, it is either you die or I perish.

Therefore, they all launch attacks as if to exterminate the other, showing absolutely no mercy.

After only a few hundred days of clashing, the dead began to fall from the high heavens, their divine corpses and immortal bodies creating miracles upon the Primordial Land, transforming the local terrain.

As more and more of the fallen plummeted from the high heavens, many Taiyi Realm and Golden Immortal/Main God Realm cultivators from both sides in the Lower Realm began to collect the corpses of their own and clean up the battlefield.

After all.

For practitioners of the Mysterious Gate.

The corpses of the God Race, tainted by divine power and world power, are treasures from head to toe.

Their World Origin can not only improve the foundation of an Immortal Rice Cultivator, but also enhance the cultivator's talent, adding one or two innate divine abilities out of thin air.

Their divine blood and divine corpses are even the best materials for forging Lower Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasure.

What's more.

After a member of the God Race falls, a cultivator can also obtain the key to the opponent's natal world from the refined Divine Rice origin, thereby opening the World Gate to enter it.

Even if one cannot obtain an entire world, one can still plunder a massive amount of cultivation resources.

Among them.

Are the indigenous innate beings within that world, as well as Innate Spiritual Treasure and Innate Spiritual Root, and even World Origin and countless heavenly treasures.

Of course.

If you want to obtain these, you must be strong enough to suppress the beings and the World Will within that world.

Otherwise.

You might be obliterated by the Gods' Great Will, which spreads through the World Tree network, before you have even finished plundering the resources. However.

Through countless years of fighting against the Divine Court, the immortals of the Mysterious Gate have gradually begun to master the techniques.

Therefore.

Immortal Rice Cultivators of the Mysterious Gate, after killing a God Race cultivator, will often immediately refine the opponent's origin and then use the world key to migrate the God Race's natal world.

Then, by rapidly exterminating all living creatures within the world or devouring and obliterating that world's World Will, they cut off the connection between the world and the God Race's unknown existence (World Tree Yuanyi Gu Zhangqing) and the Gods' Great Will.

And so.

The Mysterious Gate and the God Race are fighting a great battle in the high heavens.

Before many of the Great Luo God corpses could be collected, quite a few opportunistic thieves began to commit acts of desecration.

However.

By the time they were competing with one another, they had already been surrounded by groups of Taiyi God.

Only then would there be those who gave up or surrendered.

Of course, there were also those who resisted and snatched.

There were even those who, seeing so many Taiyi God, were greedy god-slayers who attacked all the Taiyi God directly.

However.

They were soon struck into ashes by the Qingtian Divine Thunder descending from the sky.

This immediately jolted many of the greedy ones awake.

It turned out.

Although the Great Emperor Cangtian has not been present these years, how could there not be the Qingtian Dadi? From the Heavenly Realm, the Qingtian Dadi has seen this war with perfect clarity.

He actually understood the greedy ones lurking around the battlefield.

After all.

The gods who fell this time are all precious and powerful Great Luo God! Through the understanding gained over these years.

Many Great Supernatural Being in the Primordial Land now know.

That for every rank of deity, the corresponding world and resources are different.

Not to mention the worlds between a Main God and a Taiyi God, just take a Great Luo God.

The resources hidden behind them are enough to make even those in the Quasi-Saint Realm covet them! The Main God Realm corresponds to a Small World.

Within it are contained innate opportunities and innate sources, as well as a small cluster of World Origin sufficient to transform a Lower Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasure into a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The Taiyi God corresponds to a Great World.

Within it, many monotonous innate beings have begun to be born, and the world also has one or two Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and Innate Spiritual Treasure as items to suppress the world.

And the World Origin is enough to allow a Middle Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasure to transform into an Intermediate Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It is enough to drive an average peak Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm existence mad.

Then there is the Low-level Small Thousand World corresponding to a Great Luo God.

A world at this level has begun to become complete, possessing both a Heavenly Realm and Reincarnation.

The Three Thousand Laws have begun to perfect themselves.

The world can not only give birth to complete innate beings, but also innate gods, and can even nurture one Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure and several or even dozens of Low-grade or Intermediate Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Its World Origin is even capable of allowing one or more Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure to transform into a Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The resources contained behind such a world are enough to stir up undisguisable desire in those at the Quasi-Saint Realm.

And so.

Many loose Quasi-Saint cultivators in the vicinity, seeing so many Great Luo God falling from the sky, and with the God Race Taiyi God from the surroundings not arriving so quickly.

Their suppressed greed began to stir.

In an instant.

Dozens of Quasi-Saint Loose Cultivator broke through the air toward their respective locked-on targets in the blink of an eye.

Some succeeded and some failed.

Those who failed were captured and wiped out by a bolt of Qingtian Divine Thunder.

The successful ones prepared to begin a long life of seclusion.

Of course.

Among them, the successful ones only accounted for a single-digit percentage.

One must know.

Every world is connected to the World Tree.

Once a world has any movement, it will attract the attention of a strand of will from the World Tree, Yuanyi Gu Zhangqing.

Not to mention the Gods' Great Will, the God Race's Qingtian Will is not just there for display either.

Therefore.

In the hundreds of years of fighting, among the hundreds of fallen Great Luo Gods.

Only three were successfully plundered.

Furthermore.

Of the three escaping Quasi-Saint blasphemers, two are constantly being watched by the Qingtian Will.

The Great Luo battlefield in the high heavens of Taixuan.

As the Qingtian Will gathering in this region became increasingly thick, the entire sky began to transform into a clear, cloudless blue sky.

Many Quasi-Saint Loose Cultivators hiding in the shadows, intending to wait for an opportunity, also began to grow grave and retreat.

At the same time.

Many patrolling Taiyi Gods who joined in the corpse collection could not help but feel a trace of sorrow in their hearts as they watched the Great Luo Gods falling from the sky from time to time.

After all.

Among them might be their clan elders, or teachers, or friends, or fellow gods of the same lineage.

However.

Upon seeing that the number of fallen ones from the Mysterious Gate side whose immortal bodies were plummeting was far more exaggerated than that of the God Race, their moods quickly improved again.

Some deities had privately calculated the number of fallen ones from both sides plummeting from the sky.

During the hundreds of years of fighting.

The God Race lost over six hundred Great Luo Gods, while the Mysterious Gate lost over two thousand eight hundred.

Compared to the state before the war, the Mysterious Gate lost at least one-eighteenth of its Daluo Golden Immortals in this war.

Whereas the God Race's Great Luo Gods only accounted for 0.0064% of their pre-war numbers.

That is, 0.0064%, which is also understandable.

After all, righteousness.

The God Race had nearly one hundred thousand Great Luo Gods arrive this time, while the Mysterious Gate had only over fifty thousand.

Not to mention that the number of God Race Great Luo Gods is twice that of the Mysterious Gate's Daluo Golden Immortals, even their equipment and divine abilities are incomparable to those of the Mysterious Gate's Daluo Golden Immortals.

In the first few decades of the battle on the Great Luo battlefield.

In the void above the firmament, hundreds of Quasi-Saints and Supreme Gods from both sides also engaged in fierce combat with each other.
