Chapter 534: Divine Temple vs Four Great Clans

Taking the previous first-class four great clans as the lead, the resistance alliance against the Divine Temple has now been formed; the forces of the entire Zhongzhou are split in two, all battlefields are ready, poised to strike.

"'Go to the Jiang family?'"

Everyone looked at Jiang Yunchu, waiting for her command.

Jiang Yunchu shook her head, 'When two armies clash, they have surely made full preparations; if we go now, we will likely arouse suspicion of the Divine Temple.'

"'Now that we know the situation, we hide in the shadows and watch developments.'"

Old Six nodded, looked at Jiang Yunchu, patted her shoulder, 'Yun chu, I never thought we would fight side by side again.'

This time, their enemy is extremely strong.

This time, either you die or I live.

None of them knows how many will survive after this battle.

Yet none of them retreat; each person's eyes flicker with fighting spirit.

They have waited for this day too long, so long that they almost forgot their own hatred.

The Land of Loss has worn away their hatred, yet also increased their strength; those who walk out of the Land of Loss, every bit of their strength is forged by themselves.

"'I... my blood is boiling.' The eldest rubbed their palms, their eyes already completely red."

The Rootless River.

The river water floating in midair seemed to have lost control of gravity, continually flowing toward the distance.

And on either side of the Rootless River, each represents one of the two forces.

"'Even a stray dog dares to challenge the dignity of the Divine Temple; if so, then let you lose all hope.' The five gods of the Divine Temple stood together, their contemptuous gaze like looking at ants."

The Divine Temple has ruled Zhongzhou for many years, its followers behind it filled with fervent gazes.

And the four great clans, their expressions now not good, the Wang clan's elder was assassinated...

To say it had nothing to do with the Divine Temple's doing, only a fool would believe it!

The Jiang clan's elder now struggles alone; his cultivation has not reached the Breaking God stage, he has been at the half-step Breaking God realm for a thousand years, his limit ends here.

Originally, the Wang clan's elder, the Xie clan's elder, and the Jiang clan's elder three could hold back the Divine Temple's master.

But they never expected...

Because the Wang clan's elder was assassinated, now only one half-step Breaking God and one Breaking Realm ninth stage remain; two people trying to pull back the Divine Temple's master is doubly difficult.

On the side of the four great clans, their faces are not looking good; they take the Jiang clan as their leader, now everyone's sole reliance is the Jiang clan's elder.

"'Elder, what should we do?' Jiang Zeyang's face sank a little; he never expected the Divine Temple to be so shameless, capable of such assassinations."

The Jiang clan's elder opened their eyes, eyes slightly half-narrowed, gently shook their head, 'Things have come to this point; the four great clans have no retreat.'

His words were meant for Jiang Zeyang to hear, and also for those clans to hear.

Now to retreat is already too late.

"'This time...'"

"'Either you die, or I live.'"

"'If the Divine Temple is not destroyed, given the Divine Temple master's style of conduct, no one can hope to live in peace.' He half-narrowed his eyes, then gently closed them."

For the current clan alliance, anyone who withdraws suffers a loss.

The Divine Temple has grown; over these years its conduct has become increasingly unscrupulous; whatever the Divine Temple takes a liking to, whoever it likes, will stop at nothing.

The Jiang clan's natal wood bud is gone; the natal spiritual objects of the great clans are also gone.

Given the present circumstances, if the great clans choose to retreat again, the Divine Temple will have no possible obstacle; then Zhongzhou will truly be finished.

"'Elder, the Jiang clan will fight to the bitter end; even if only one remains, we will absolutely not retreat.' Jiang Zeyang looked at the people behind him—those of the Jiang clan, excluding the elderly, weak, women, and children; all who could fight stood here, their eyes full of fighting spirit."

The Jiang clan has retreated for many years.

If they retreat further, the Jiang clan's heads will never be able to rise again.

"'Our Divine Temple's original intention is not to compete with the great clans; you hide in your own little world, why must you be enemies of our Divine Temple?'"

Just then, a heavy pressure spread from the horizon; the person had not yet arrived, but a single sentence, a single question, brought forth immense pressure.

"'Impudent.' The Jiang clan's elder and the Xie clan's elder exchanged a glance, both simultaneously releasing spiritual power to protect the clan alliance."

The Jiang clan's elder fared somewhat better, only their face darkened slightly.

But the Xie clan's elder's face flushed red; one can feel how much exertion they put forth.

The Breaking God realm and the Breaking Realm differ by only one character 'god', yet that single character is a heavenly chasm, an uncrossable gulf.

The Jiang clan's elder noticed this, then released a half-step Breaking God realm, a specially formed domain, enveloping the Xie clan's elder within it.

The Xie clan's elder felt the pressure suddenly lessen, and gave the Jiang clan's elder a grateful look.

"'Yun chu, we...' Shier looked at the battlefield below, especially seeing the person dressed in golden robes, wearing a golden crown, holding a golden sword; her eyes flashed with resentment."

Jiang Yunchu shook her head, 'Not yet the time; wait a bit longer.'

Everyone fell silent, each person's eyes as sharp as a hawk's, waiting for their king's command.

"'Ha ha——'"

"'Insignificant ants, the divine will does not wish to kill; why struggle so?' That golden silhouette finally appeared before everyone."

The Jiang clan's elder looked at Jiang Zeyang, 'I can't hold on much longer; you must fight quickly and decisively.'

Before, he thought he could still hold on, but feeling the Divine Temple master's pressure, he finally understood the true gap between half-step Breaking God and Breaking God.

Even a half-step, it's hard to ascend to heaven!

"'Yes.' Jiang Zeyang filled with sorrow drew his waist sword, across the Rootless River he exchanged a distant glance with the Water God; the Water God gave a faint nod."

"'Kill!' With that nod, Jiang Zeyang could disregard everything."

By now, the people of the four great clans have no retreat left.

"'Kill!'"

The heads of the four great clans directly battled the five gods of the Divine Temple.

And Jiang Zeyang directly confronted two of them; in the moment the Water God clashed with him, he said, "Taking advantage of the chaos yesterday, I already sent Kang Ying away; you can go all out."

The Water God's words remained as cold as ever, devoid of any emotion.

"Thank you." Jiang Zeyang replied in a low voice.

The two separated upon contact.

"Yun chu, it's time to act." The Four Great Families have already suffered heavy casualties; if we don't act now, we probably won't be able to hold out much longer.

Over the years, the Divine Palace has monopolized the places with the richest spiritual power, seizing the natal spirits of the great families, and their development has been truly rapid.
