Chapter 491: Throwing a Brick to Attract Jade and Withdrawing Authority

Star River Battlefield, Southern Barbarian Battle Zone, Wood Tiger Battle City.

This is the front line of the Barbarian Battle Zone in the Star River Battlefield.

The Barbarian Battle Zone commander, Wu Gu, was staring intently at the distance of the Star River channel.

In the distant Star River, a massive star was constantly moving and approaching the Star River Battlefield.

During the approach, some stars, large or small, in the vicinity would be directly enveloped into this massive star.

And the Barbarian Battle Zone commander, Wu Gu, also came here personally to guard because of the anomaly here.

Behind Wu Gu, the army lords and generals of the various Barbarian armies stood like a forest.

Because of the approach of this massive star, the Star River channel in front of this Wood Tiger Battle City had already been abandoned.

As the star approached, the star power tide washed over it wave after wave; let alone the Star River channel, even the fortress they used to guard this Star River channel had already been destroyed!

As for sending people to explore?

Under the terrifying star power tide brought by the star, let alone ordinary scouts, even an Eighth-Tier expert rushing in would be torn to pieces in an instant; this is the might of heaven and earth.

They could only wait and see.

"Grand Marshal, it seems to be accelerating!"

"Retreat!"

The moment he discovered that the massive star was accelerating its approach, Wu Gu ordered the group of experts to retreat another hundred miles.

Almost the moment the Barbarian experts finished retreating, an invisible but substantial force between this massive star and the Star River Battlefield collided with a bang.

In an instant, it exploded with terrifying, tide-like brilliant starlight.

Wave after wave of starlight tides spread out like water, scattering toward the Barbarian Battle Zone.

The Barbarian Wood Tiger Battle City, which bore the brunt, was directly destroyed.

The starlight tide directly extended for over a thousand miles.

It was fortunate that the Star River Battlefield was sparsely populated; otherwise, one couldn't imagine how many people would have died in this wave.

However, this was only on the surface.

As the star field of that star collided with the star field of the Star River Battlefield, the entire Kun Ling Realm began to vibrate violently.

It was like the earth dragon turning over.

It spread directly from the Star River Battlefield to the present world.

And the closer to the Southern Battle Zone, the more violent this vibration was.

The present world was relatively lighter, while the vibration in all areas of the Star River Battlefield was generally quite violent.

"Everyone, the situation is like this."

Inside the Star River Secret Realm meeting hall, Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu put away the starlight projection screen and added, "Currently, it has been verified that this star, or rather continent, which has begun to border the Star River Battlefield and caused the massive earthquake, is actually the Eight Desolations Continent condensed by the alien race using their ancestral cave heaven a year ago."

"It's just that its growth rate is faster than we expected."

"We previously calculated the time for the Eight Desolations Continent to border the Star River Battlefield based on the previous growth rate of the Star River Battlefield, which should have taken three years, meaning it would border at the earliest in two years."

"But now, it has been brought forward."

"In other words, the growth rate of this alien Eight Desolations Continent is much faster than we expected."

"Correspondingly, its power will also be much stronger."

"The starlight power tide brought by the bordering of the two star fields is expected to dissipate within one to two months."

"In other words, in one or two months, whether it is the Eight Desolations alien race or our present world human race, we can cross the star field interval at any time and start fighting!"

"I have finished introducing the situation; how to deploy depends on your decisions."

After finishing, Star River Battlefield Grand Marshal Wei Xu leaned back slightly and handed the floor of the meeting to others.

This meeting was of a quite high specification.

Only the giants of various forces and the commanders of the Star River Battlefield were present.

Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun, Cang Ming Tianyang Xingjun, Chen Guo Grand Master, Wood Spirit Palace Master, Grand Void Palace Master, Great Hong Emperor, Great Da Chu Di Jun, and the commanders of each battle zone were all present.

It is worth mentioning that the Zhen E Tianyang Xingjun, who had been in closed-door cultivation, also appeared at the venue.

As Wei Xu finished introducing the situation, the cause of this worldwide earthquake was found, but the situation was more serious than everyone had imagined.

Originally, all parties were actively preparing for war, but the time for preparation was three years later.

Now, it had been significantly brought forward.

For a time, no one spoke.

After a long while, Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun spoke slowly, but he looked at Zhen E Tianyang Xingjun with a smile, "Zhen E, have you broken through?"

The aura projected by Zhen E Tianyang Xingjun at this time was still only at the Eighth-Tier peak. Therefore, Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun's words were a bit of a rhetorical question.

"I only have one Divine Dao True Meaning, and the certainty of breaking through in one breath is not too great, so I am still preparing," Zhen E Tianyang Xingjun said.

"Why don't you try breaking through!"

"If you break through to the Ninth-Tier, you lead the way, and we will charge behind you; we will definitely be able to sweep away the Eight Desolations alien race," Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun laughed.

"You are joking! Even if I break through, I'm afraid I won't be as good as the accumulation you, Heavenly Yang, have had for over a hundred years," Zhen E Tianyang Xingjun laughed.

"That's not necessarily true; our Grand Master Cheng is super strong now," Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun laughed.

"Where, last time we fought, I was on my home turf and took a huge advantage," Cheng Yuexiao laughed.

After finishing, Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun turned his head to look at Cang Ming Tianyang Xingjun, "Cang Ming, this time regarding the bordering of the Eight Desolations Continent, why don't you lead it?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Ming Tianyang Xingjun smiled faintly and shook his head, "I don't have that ability."

The next instant, Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun turned his gaze to the two Palace Masters.

"My Grand Void Palace will obey the Tianyang Xingjun's dispatch; within our capabilities, we will definitely do our best."

"Regarding the righteousness of the human race in the present world, my Wood Spirit Palace will not shirk our responsibility."

Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun's gaze turned a circle, which could be considered as unifying opinions.

Of course, he also knew very well that these giants present were only saying polite words.

On the surface, they respected him, but if he really gave chaotic orders, the one who would lose face would be him.

"Since both palaces are going to participate in the war, I must clarify one thing first: besides the two Palace Masters, how many Eighth-Tier and how many Seventh-Tier experts can your two palaces send?" Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun asked.

"This..."

Wood Spirit Palace Master and Grand Void Palace Master looked at each other, seemingly a bit puzzled by Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun's meaning, because this involved substantive issues, so the two Palace Masters found it difficult to answer.

"How about this, I will be generous once. For your two palaces, any one of you, besides the Palace Master participating in the war, as long as you are willing to send four Eighth-Tier and eight Seventh-Tier experts, our Great Hong Battle Zone will give you a battle city, how about that?" Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun suddenly said.

As soon as these words came out, the two Palace Masters revealed looks of surprise and joy at the same time.

They had returned to the present world for nearly a year, but they had never managed to get a decent piece of territory in the present world.

At this time, Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun proposed this condition, and they were overjoyed.

A battle city in the Star River Battlefield was like a star field in the past; the territory was large enough, but the population was extremely small.

But even if the population was small, it was still territory.

Seeing the looks of surprise and joy on the two Palace Masters, Cang Ming Tianyang Xingjun, Zhen E Tianyang Xingjun, and Chen Guo Grand Master frowned slightly.

Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun's move was extremely brilliant.

In one fell swoop, he pulled eight Eighth-Tier experts into the Great Hong Battle Zone.

This was a huge force.

At critical moments, it could ensure the safety of the Great Hong Battle Zone.

At critical moments, it could also obtain huge interests.

The next instant, Chen Guo Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao suddenly laughed, "Since Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun is willing to take out his own territory, we in Chen Guo cannot be too stingy."

"We in Chen Guo are willing to provide one or two battle cities to the two Palace Masters, on the condition that the two Palace Masters must station at least two Eighth-Tier and six Seventh-Tier experts in one battle city."

"If the two Palace Masters are willing, we in Chen Guo are willing to provide a quota of 100,000 refugees for each battle city."

"The two palaces can freely recruit within our Chen Guo territory."

As soon as these words came out, Wood Spirit Palace Master sat up straight, "Grand Master Cheng, are these words true?"

Their two palaces lacked territory, but they lacked population even more.

So getting territory alone was useless.

Getting territory would only consume their elites.

But population was the most important thing.

100,000 people was not much.

But it was enough for a large city to multiply and develop.

As long as there was a city, one wouldn't have to worry about not having a population.

In the Star River Battlefield, there were plenty of adventurous cultivators.

"Absolutely no falsehood!"

"Good!" Wood Spirit Palace Master Chi Lei laughed, "After the meeting, we can discuss this matter."

"We in Great Chu are also willing to provide a battle city, including a quota of 100,000 refugees," the Great Da Chu Di Jun stated under the signal of Cang Ming Tianyang Xingjun.

"We Barbarians naturally cannot fall behind, and we will do the same as Chen Guo."

Seeing this, Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun laughed, "It seems that my throwing a brick to attract jade is not bad. Then the four of us will each provide a battle city for the two palaces to develop."

"But the two palaces must station at least eight Eighth-Tier and over twenty-four Seventh-Tier experts in the four battle cities!"

"What do you think?"

"This is very good." "This is naturally excellent."

The two Palace Masters happily agreed, while Cheng Yuexiao, Cang Ming Tianyang Xingjun, and Zhen E Tianyang Xingjun smiled and bowed to Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun at the same time.

Some things were understood without being said.

Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun saw this and also laughed quite complacently.

With this move, he solved the possibility of the two palaces not putting in effort in the future.

By giving them territory, he could lock the manpower of the two palaces there.

"Everyone, since we have already bordered the Eight Desolations Continent of the alien race, the decisive battle is not far away."

"Within these two months, we must mobilize as many elites as possible to the Star River Battlefield."

"At that time, how much territory and how many benefits you can obtain will depend on your own abilities."

"However, now we need to re-divide the defense zones after the bordering of the two continents stabilizes; of course, relying on the Barbarian Battle Zone alone will not be able to stop them," Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun proposed.

"This is natural," Zhen E Tianyang Xingjun was the first to agree.

Although bordering represented benefits, it also represented huge risks.

Therefore, Zhen E Tianyang Xingjun was the first to support it.

Just when the high-level officials of the present world were meeting in the Star River Secret Realm, the massive fluctuations caused by the bordering of the Eight Desolations Continent and the Star River Battlefield also caused several Emperors who had been paying attention to the Kun Ling Realm in the Star River to take action.

In the Star River, Emperor Xuan Cheng and Emperor Hua Qing first converged.

"The Kun Ling Realm has completely recovered!" Emperor Xuan Cheng said.

"Yes, it has recovered!"

Emperor Hua Qing also said, "But the deer has appeared, and all the masters will chase it together."

"This deer must not fall into the hands of the Eight Desolations ancestors," Emperor Xuan Cheng said.

"That is natural."

"It's just that among our disciples, not a single Ninth-Tier expert has appeared."

"Although the Kun Ling Realm has completely recovered, Ninth-Tier experts can appear without Divine Dao True Meaning."

"But that is too slow."

"We still need to help our disciples in the lower realm," Emperor Xuan Cheng said.

Emperor Hua Qing nodded, "This is natural, but last time, we descended Divine Dao True Meaning, yet our disciples did not obtain a single one, but Extreme Dao also said that his disciples only obtained one."

"But Extreme Dao also said that in his perception, it was not obtained by the Eight Desolations alien race."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xuan Cheng frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"The disciples of the two of us indeed did not obtain a single one, and not a single one broke through to the Ninth-Tier."

"But Extreme Dao also said his disciples only obtained one, and it was not taken away by the alien race."

"Then who took the other four?"

"My disciples dare not and cannot deceive me," Emperor Hua Qing said.

"My disciples also..." Emperor Xuan Cheng said halfway, then looked at Emperor Hua Qing, "What do you mean?"

"In the past, we could not directly descend Divine Dao True Meaning and could only ask Extreme Dao to do it for us."

"Now, we have also obtained a small amount of authority over the Kun Ling Realm."

"Using this authority as a guide, it is possible to descend Divine Dao True Meaning," Emperor Hua Qing said.

"However, once we do this, Extreme Dao can take back the authority he gave us at any time."

"But he cannot take back the Divine Dao True Meaning we descended," Emperor Hua Qing said.

After finishing, Emperor Hua Qing added, "Only by doing this will our disciples have the possibility of obtaining that supreme treasure!"

"The path of you and me might go further."

"Otherwise, nine times out of ten, it will just be making wedding clothes for Extreme Dao."

Emperor Xuan Cheng instantly narrowed his eyes.

He was also suspicious about the matter of descending Divine Dao True Meaning last time.

Divine Dao True Meaning was descended, but in the end, it seemed no one obtained it.

Yet their acquisition of information about the Kun Ling Realm was very limited, and in many places, they could only rely on Emperor Extreme Dao.

In this, there were many places where there could be tricks.

If Extreme Dao really schemed against them like this, it was also extremely possible.

"But like this..."

Before Emperor Xuan Cheng could finish, Emperor Hua Qing sneered, "At worst, we'll just have a fight; are we afraid of him?"

"That's true."

Emperor Xuan Cheng suddenly figured it out.

The Great Dao is only about contention.

At most, the relationship with Extreme Dao will turn sour.

But if it turns good, what can it do?

"Good, how many Divine Dao True Meanings do you plan to descend?" Emperor Xuan Cheng asked.

"At least three or four; the opportunity is only this once."

"Subsequently, it will depend on the disciples' good fortune," Emperor Hua Qing said.

"That's fine."

The next instant, the starlight that had just gathered in the Star River suddenly dissipated.

Because of the existence of the Star-Plucking Tower main tower, the changes in the Kun Ling Realm also awakened Emperor Extreme Dao, who was in cultivation.

In the main hall, Emperor Extreme Dao, who was awakened from cultivation, was suddenly shocked.

"Bordered?"

"Doesn't that mean the Heavenly Great Dao of the Kun Ling Realm is about to be completed? In that case, that treasure might appear."

The next instant, Emperor Extreme Dao tried to communicate with the Star Spirit, and not long after, his expression turned gloomy.

"Not a single one is capable!"

"Last time, five Divine Dao True Meanings were descended, and in my perception, not a single one fell into the hands of the alien race in the end, but these few incapable ones didn't break through at all."

"Three Divine Dao True Meanings are still missing?"

"How could this be?"

Emperor Extreme Dao frowned, feeling a bit worried.

The core of this Eight Desolations Continent is actually a part of the Kun Ling Realm.

Now that they have bordered, it can be considered complete.

The Kun Ling Realm can change from incomplete to complete.

The benefit is that cultivators in the Kun Ling Realm can break through to the Ninth-Tier even without Divine Dao True Meaning.

But there are also disadvantages.

The Kun Ling Realm is restored, and the Eight Desolations alien race can also obtain more power from the Eight Desolations Holy Ancestors.

"Why can't the disciples of this generation grow up?"

"That person, I don't know how much they have grown..."

Just as he was pondering, behind Emperor Extreme Dao, a phantom of a Zhai Xing Lou suddenly appeared.

He saw the Zhai Xing Lou suddenly connect to the Star River, and in the two great worlds on the Star River, streaks of incomparably brilliant starlight began to fall one after another.

The starlight was solid and grand, but also incomparably profound.

Each streak faintly flickered with traces of the Great Dao.

At this time, like meteors, one after another, through some kind of guidance of the Star-Plucking Tower, they fell toward the Kun Ling Realm.

Emperor Extreme Dao's expression changed suddenly.

With a movement of his divine sense, he traced it back instantly, and then his expression changed drastically.

"Divine Dao True Meaning!"

"Xuan Cheng, Hua Qing, you two have ruined my major event, damn you!"

The next instant, Emperor Extreme Dao began to fully urge the phantom of the Star-Plucking Tower main tower that appeared behind his head.

He began to withdraw the twenty percent authority he had sent out.

But it is easy to send out and difficult to withdraw.

It took a full dozen breaths before the twenty percent authority sent out returned to the phantom of the Star-Plucking Tower main tower like two meteors!

But in these dozen breaths of time, at least seven or eight Divine Dao True Meanings had descended.

The next instant, Emperor Extreme Dao ascended to the Star River and looked toward the Kun Ling Realm.

He saw that a certain star in the star field toward the Kun Ling Realm, which was originally hidden among billions of stars, was plain and unremarkable.

But at this very moment, it was becoming brighter and brighter.

Brighter and brighter.

In an instant, it became extremely eye-catching!

In the Star River, a phantom with golden horns on its head suddenly rushed in, watching the Kun Ling Realm, which was becoming bright, from afar, and while laughing at Emperor Extreme Dao, point after point of golden light flew out from the golden horns, like meteors, falling toward the incomparably shining Kun Ling Realm.

"Extreme Dao, after so many years, you finally decided to remove the concealment!"

In the Star River, Emperor Extreme Dao snorted helplessly and angrily killed toward the residence of Emperor Xuan Cheng.
