Chapter 1079: Control and Exclusion (1)

Inside the Crystal Stone Hall, Xuan Wu and the four others sat cross-legged on the ground, barely breathing, with hundreds of their strongest clansmen standing behind each of them.

The harvesting revelry on Mu Dalu allowed these spirits to accumulate countless soul crystals and bloodline essences.

Bloodline essence can continuously nourish their own bloodlines, causing their bloodlines to continually upgrade.

Lowly divine servants can become warriors.

Weak warriors can advance to become elites.

Strong elites can breakthrough to become generals.

Arrogant generals become noble royalty……

Even, for those like Xuan Wu who themselves possess royal bloodline, there is a greater chance to purify their bloodline concentration to the highest Emperor Rank!

As for the God Emperor, in the gods' homeland, on their ancestral land, aside from those ancient relics left from antiquity, no natural God Emperor bloodline has been born for many years.

Each reproduction reduces the bloodline concentration by a thread; this is the iron law of heaven and earth in the gods' homeland.

The bloodline essence of the Pangu Remnant Clan can continuously revive their declining bloodline, continually break through their bloodline concentration, and continually enhance their potential.

Gods' bloodlines fundamentally need no cultivation; as long as they live naturally, their strength continually increases. Upon reaching adulthood, their power will naturally reach the peak limit allowed by their bloodline.

Moreover, the Pangu Remnant Clan's soul crystals can cause their strength to skyrocket!

Consuming soul crystals can accelerate their growth, granting them peak adult strength even while still young.

Xuan Wu and the others caused nearly all spirits of the various great god clans, as well as most spirits of the Five Great God Clans, to descend upon Mu Dalu and launch a surprise attack on Wa Island. Yet within their own garrison, they still retained a select elite portion of their clansmen to hold the line.

The atmosphere inside the Crystal Stone Hall was eerie.

Xuan Wu, Yi Zun, Chi Chan, You Zu, and Xu Po mutually inspected and guarded each other; the clansmen behind them were restless, their eyes flickering with a sinister, gloomy light.

These spirits' gazes were most unfriendly.

Not only did they look upon other clans' spirits with malice in their eyes; especially several who possessed royal bloodline and were called "Your Highness", when they gazed at Xuan Wu and the others, even if they were fellow clansmen or brothers, their eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Seven days and nights had already passed.

The five great leaders—Xuan Wu and the others—observed the five highest-ranking Your Highnesses at the observation outpost, who had also consumed the most soul crystals and bloodline essence, possessed the greatest strength, and had nearly stepped one foot into the legendary God Emperor Realm.

They condensed nine-tenths of their essence blood and divine souls into avatars to command the great army invading Wa Island.

As a result, their mysteriously formed essence-blood avatars were destroyed, and their true selves left on the Heavenly Crystal War Star were ambushed by a terrifying force.

They are now very weak.

They are now very dangerous.

The five individuals mutually guarded each other, resulting in a stalemate inside the hall for seven days and nights.

None of the five dared to leave this place.

They feared that among the five, someone might collude with another and then secretly scheme against them.

They were even more afraid that leaving the Crystal Stone Hall would cause the five of them to be schemed against by their own clansmen and thus be replaced.

Just as in the Man God Clan, there was Wu Tou who was extremely dissatisfied with Chi Chan, even directly bringing his own trusted subordinates to "defect" to Wu Tie, betraying the Man God Clan.

If Wu Tou were now on the Heavenly Crystal War Star, Chi Chan would swear on his ancestors' heads that Wu Tou would surely finish him off with a single clean blow, then become again the Man God Clan's great leader at the observation outpost.

Now the five are mutually on guard, and at the same time mutually protecting each other.

Because of the presence of the five, the elite clansmen behind them would absolutely not dare, under the watch of numerous foreign god clans, to strike a killing blow against themselves in plain sight.

Beside Xuan Wu and them lay soul crystals piled like a small mountain.

They were frantically circulating divine power, drawing upon the soul crystals to recover from their injuries.

However, Qing Ning employed the ancestral spirit power of the Ancestral Spirit Space, following the soul seal between them, and directly bombarded their souls, inflicting extremely severe damage.

Moreover, the evil force of the Murderous Dagger permeated it, damaging the very source of their divine bodies and souls.

Wanting to recover, the difficulty is extremely great.

The five spent seven days and nights merely barely maintaining their injuries from worsening; as for returning to their original state—heaven knows how much time and resources that would require.

"We've been tricked." Finally, Xu Po muttered with a sinister tone: "I said before, the Conspiracy God Clan cannot be trusted……especially the women of the Conspiracy God Clan, how could we be so foolish as to believe her plan?"

"But, after all, we have heavily damaged Wa Island." Xuan Wu said angrily: "Moreover……isn't this also a good thing?"

The face‑less Xuan Wu prepared to regain a bit of face for himself.

He said in a low voice: "Aside from our Five Great God Clans, the other great god clans have almost been completely wiped out……what a wonderful thing!"

Yi Zun, You Zu, and Chi Chan all nodded in agreement.

That statement is indeed correct; now, in the vast observation outpost, among the garrisons of hundreds of big and small god clans, only a few cats and dogs remain, while only our Five Great God Clans still retain some vitality.

Now it's settled—the Five Great God Clans can truly monopolize all resources of Mu Dalu.

If, if the five of them were uninjured, the current situation would simply be perfect, too perfect.

The only problem is that the five are wounded……the elite clansmen behind them are a bit restless, which makes things too dangerous.

"What we need to consider now is whether that damned woman has any further conspiracies." You Zu voiced the five's greatest doubt and worry these past days: "If she does, what else does she intend to do?"

"The Conspiracy God Clan is not good at combat; any random clansman of ours could easily sweep away a hundredfold of their trash." You Zu said softly: "The only problem is that she has harmed so many of our clansmen, causing the five of us to suffer heavy injuries, and even we have lost our Supreme Divine Artifact on Wa Island……"

"What does she want to do?"

You Zu said softly: "We all know that the Conspiracy God Clan always harms others without benefiting itself; they likely engage in destruction purely for destruction's sake, and conspiracy purely for conspiracy's sake."

"Then, regarding this incident, is she purely trying to screw us over, or……does she have further schemes?"

Xuan Wu, Chi Chan, and Yi Zun simultaneously let out a roar.

The three burly figures glanced at each other, then simultaneously shook their heads. The Heavenly Crystal God Clan, the Lava Giant God, and the Man God Clan—though their combat prowess is unmatched, they are not skilled at thinking or strategizing.

"Then, suppose……" You Zu raised his right hand, about to speak.

With a "hum", Wu Tie appeared directly at the center of the five.

The Sharira Pagoda emitted boundless golden light, instantly suppressing the entire hall.

The Heavenly Mirror sprayed forth boundless radiant light, enveloping the spirits present; those of the Dark Spirit God Clan lacking solid flesh, whose bodies were semi‑condensed energy, instantly emitted mournful wails, their forms continually exploding into dense clouds of smoke.

Wu Tie let out a long cry, and four sword‑lights shot up into the sky.
