Chapter 274: The Battle of the Northern Wasteland Begins

"What about the Canghe Dynasty?" Jiang Xun nodded and asked.

"The Zanghe Holy Emperor said he needs some time to consider it and will give an answer within three days. I think he probably wants to see the Dongfang Dynasty's attitude; I will inform him later," Tu Qingtian replied.

"Good, then contact the He Yu Dynasty as well and see if their Holy Emperor is willing to cooperate." Jiang Xun nodded; Tu Qingtian was still very efficient.

"Yes." Tu Qingtian cupped his hands and bowed, then left.

Jiang Xun subsequently left Jun Tianling's body and returned to his own time. When he returned, Si Yuyan had already finished eating the soy-sauce duck.

The next day, he prepared breakfast and pig trotters for Si Yuyan, and went to a nearby village to steal a cow.

On the third day, Jiang Xun cooked in person, making beef stew and roasted whole cow for Si Yuyan.

The entire cow, weighing over two hundred catties, was eaten clean by Si Yuyan alone. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Jiang Xun absolutely would not have believed it.

As for the Tianyu Dynasty, which had lost Tian Ruoling a thousand years ago, it hadn't reached a point of extreme decline; after all, they still possessed strength. Without Tian Ruoling, there were still those two Venerables at the Integration Great Perfection.

Back when Jiang Xun slew Tian Ruoling, one extra Saint Position appeared in the world.

Presumably, one of them had seized Tian Ruoling's Saint Position through the Secret Realm of Throne Seizing.

On the fourth day, Jiang Xun returned to three days after the timeline of Jun Tianling.

By this time, the He Yu Dynasty and the Canghe Dynasty had already agreed to cooperate with the Void Sect.

What remained to be waited for was Shenmu Ling.

Tu Qingtian also began to reorganize the disciples of the Void Sect, telling them to prepare themselves mentally; those who did not want to go could leave the Void Sect directly now.

Of course, those who wanted to leave had to abolish the cultivation techniques practiced in the Void Sect.

Even so, the majority of the disciples still chose to flee in a panic.

After all, their purpose in coming here was only to cultivate, and they absolutely did not want to go to the Northern Wasteland to throw their lives away.

Three months later, Shenmu Ling successfully fused with the Demon Core of Zhongli Tianyu and became a Pseudo-Saint.

As for the Tianyu Dynasty side, absolutely no one dared to come to the Void Sect to look for trouble.

Six Saints!

And they had reached cooperation with three dynasties.

Who would dare to make a move!

Moreover, to be honest, the Tianyu Dynasty side also very much wanted them to go to the Northern Wasteland to wipe out that group of Demonic Beasts; after all, that group of Demonic Beasts had always been the biggest unstable factor and threat.

At the same time, with Jiang Xun providing strong financial support in the background, the weapons held by the disciples of the entire Void Sect were at least Spirit Grade, and those above the Nascent Soul stage all held Treasure Grade weapons; this was treatment only found in noble families.

After preparing for another month, under the leadership of Jiang Xun, all disciples of the Void Sect at the Golden Core stage and above set off toward the Northern Wasteland. At the same time, the He Yu Dynasty, the Canghe Dynasty, and the Dongfang Dynasty also marched toward the Northern Wasteland under the leadership of their respective Holy Emperors.

In this battle, these three Holy Emperors also bet everything they had.

If they won, they would leave their names in history, their national fortune would be prosperous, and they could even be allocated territory in the Northern Wasteland.

If they lost, the dynasty would definitely be invaded by other dynasties, leaving them homeless, and in the worst case, they would even lose their lives.

Arriving ten miles outside the Northern Wasteland, all forces converged, totaling three hundred thousand cultivators. Most were naturally from the dynasties, with the Dongfang Dynasty contributing the most people.

Basically, everyone was at the Golden Core stage or above; after all, those below the Golden Core stage coming here was purely coming to die.

After resting for one day, over fifty thousand people ran away.

They had finally mustered the courage to come, but after hearing and smelling the aura of the Demonic Beasts, they were scared out of their wits and ran away overnight.

Now was not the time to worry about them. Early the next morning, the group arrived at the edge of the Northern Wasteland. The nine Saints and Shenmu Ling stood at the very front, with Shenmu Ling first activating the Demon Core to release its aura.

Sure enough, the surrounding Demonic Beasts felt fear upon sensing the aura of Zhongli Tianyu's Demon Core. Under Shenmu Ling's command, two-sixths of the Demonic Beasts roared and charged toward the other Demonic Beasts, launching the first wave of the attack.

Jiang Xun followed closely behind, spreading his Crimson Wings to fly in the air. With a wave of his wings, countless black thorns headed toward the Demonic Beasts like a violent storm.

Lasting for thirty seconds, he released at least ten million black thorns, killing a massive number of Demonic Beasts and also emptying his Spirit Power.

After taking a Soul Returning Pill to replenish his Spirit Power, Jiang Xun switched to Jun Tianling; after all, revenge had to be taken with one's own hands.

"Use as much Spirit Power as you want, I guarantee you won't run out. Go take your revenge."

Jiang Xun said in his divine sense.

"Thanks." Jun Tianling nodded, took over the body, and with a wave of her hand, shouted: "Kill!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!!"

The chaotic shouts gradually became uniform. Everyone's blood surged and their spirits boiled as they charged together toward the Demonic Beast horde.

The Demon Kings of the Demon Race also reacted at this time and immediately organized the Demonic Beasts to charge toward Jun Tianling and the others. With the Demon Kings leading, plus the fearless Demonic Beast horde, the momentum on the Demonic Beast side quickly pressed over.

The Dongfang Holy Emperor first met the black bull Demon King that attacked first. Following closely behind was the wild boar Demon King from back then; Tu Nan charged up without a word, determined to avenge the grudge of that year.

The deeper they fought, the stronger the Demonic Beasts became, and the Demon Kings also appeared one after another.

The Zanghe Holy Emperor met the black wolf Demon King.

The He Yu Holy Emperor engaged the rhinoceros Demon King.

Si Yuyan used her Crimson Wings to fight the golden eagle Demon King in the air.

Tu Qingtian engaged the black ape Demon King.

Tu Mo engaged the giant crocodile Demon King.

Tang Ying engaged the hyena Demon King.

As for Jun Tianling, her target was very clear: she charged straight toward the old site of the Junlin Dynasty, aiming directly at the thousand-legged centipede Demon King; it was the one that had first charged into the Junlin Dynasty back then.

Shenmu Ling, relying on the Demon Core of Zhongli Lingyu, shuttled through the battlefield, doing her best to provide healing for the human side. Shenmu Ling, possessing the abilities of a Saint, was indeed much faster at healing.

When passing by Tu Nan, she even casually healed the scars remaining on her body.

In order to finish off these Demon Kings as quickly as possible, Jun Tianling and the others had all activated their Dharma Images and pulled the Demon Kings into their Domains. The soldiers and disciples outside were led by cultivators of the Integration Realm and Shenmu Ling to wipe out the Demonic Beasts; both sides suffered significant sacrifices.

"Damn it, that blockheaded girl Jun Tianling actually fought her way back. She really doesn't mind the effort, damn it."

At the same time, on a mountain, a sloppy-looking middle-aged man with long hair was sitting there holding a wine jar, speaking while drinking.

"Since she's already here, she's your disciple after all. Won't you help them clean up those disgusting maggots?" another man beside him said.

"I don't give a damn, it has nothing to do with me. I already said the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging cannot be passed on, yet look at that stupid girl, she taught the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging to her Artifact Spirit and even wasted resources to forge a physical body for the Artifact Spirit," the slovenly man said, waving his hand.

"You hypocritical thing, when your stupid disciple is about to work herself to death, let's see if you care then," the man sneered.

"Are you stupid or is she? If she can't beat them, can't she run? Do you even have a brain?" the slovenly man looked at the man with disdain and mocked him.
