Chapter 48: One Day, Six Tian Jun, Slaughter Through the Divine-Demon Battlefield

At the outer battlefield, the presence of Xiang Xuanqing and others brought about subtle changes.

“Brothers of the Black Path, charge together!”

“Today we crush the White Path—we’ll suppress them for a hundred thousand years!”

Hong Yun raised his arms and shouted loudly.

“The White Path is in chaos; the Black Path shall rise!”

“Yin and yang inverted—today is the day!”

He held one sector of the battlefield and began leading the Black Path’s divine soldiers and generals in a counter-push against the White Path.

Perhaps inspired by Hong Yun, or awed by his biting tongue.

The tone of this battlefield shifted accordingly.

As they fought, everyone activated their group-roast mode.

“You White Path turtle sons, don’t run!”

“Don’t chicken out—keep fighting. Or I’ll mock your White Path gods for a hundred thousand years!”

“Oh? That strike was so weak—can’t you even fight anymore? If you can’t, just say so. I’m a pill alchemist—I’ll make sure your medicine kills you instantly!”

“Come on, try again…”

Seeing this, Hong Yun felt deeply satisfied.

“My fellow cultivators, pooling our strength—how could the Black Path fail to flourish?”

“Push harder—curse these miserable things to death.”

Xiang Xuanqing’s progress was also going smoothly.

After clearing a sector of the battlefield, they began contacting the Black Path’s rear base.

“We’ve rescued some allied troops—whose people are they? Hurry up and bring ransom to exchange for them.”

The Tian Jun stationed at the rear base went pale.

“Hurry up, quick!”

“If you don’t hurry, by the time we hold the auction, the price won’t be this low anymore.”

Xiang Xuanqing urged them on.

Considering these fellows were under Jin Que Tianjun’s command and had genuinely saved their juniors’ lives, the rear’s major forces could only grit their teeth and accept it, swiftly supplying resources to exchange for the captives.

With the resources in hand, Xiang Xuanqing immediately began crafting treasures, aiming to forge a devastating weapon.

“Not enough!”

Xiang Xuanqing drew up a list and handed it to Hu Shisan.

“Go back to the rear base, open an auction at the Divine Hall, and procure resources according to this list.”

“Yes, Brother Bai!” Hu Shisan didn’t hesitate—he turned and left immediately.

“I’ll go with him!”

Ming He feared Hu Shisan couldn’t handle it.

Xiang Xuanqing nodded: “Good.”

Soon, the Divine Hall at the rear base launched an advertisement across the entire universe.

“Selling divine children and divine daughters! Selling spirit pets and spirit beasts!”

“Divine weapons, immortal elixirs, rare medicines—all available!”

“Specialties from both Black and White Paths—everything you need!”

“What are you waiting for? Come to the Divine Hall auction now!”

Instantly, the Black Path’s rear base erupted in chaos, sparking a wild celebration.

“You can do this?”

The Jiuge Squad stared in shock.

They were truly stunned by the Wuchang Squad’s outrageous tactics.

We’re all from the Main Divine Palace—how are you so flashy?

You’re fighting on the front lines, yet you turn around and become divine traffickers at the rear?

“Trade resources for time—boost strength as fast as possible!”

“To quell the chaos and slay the masterminds behind it, we must restore our strength before they can react!”

“They’re right!”

Da Siming’s eyes gleamed—his true self truly plays by no rules.

“Let’s do the same!”

Zhen Yuanzi swiftly adjusted his strategy and began copying their methods.

“Capture every White Path god—alive or dead!”

“Don’t worry about accidentally injuring allies—let the rear pay ransom.”

“Let’s make a big move too.”

Around them now gathered a loyal following, including divine children and daughters from major factions.

Upon receiving Jiuge Squad’s orders, there was no need for the trio to personally return to the rear.

These followers immediately mobilized every resource at their disposal and began trafficking divine captives.

“Master, we caught your old lover’s son.”

“Senior Master, look what I caught—Shang Yuan Tianjun’s junior disciple.”

“Grandmaster, I’ve got a batch of hard-to-sell items. You want to know what? Just some White Path divine generals.”

“Father, I’ve set my sights on some spirit beasts. What? You want me to name a number? No need—they only want Golden Sandalwood Divine Sand.”

“Clan Chief, I’ve got a new boss…”

With their loyal followers running around, the Jiuge trio began amassing vast quantities of resources.

Their strength rose rapidly.

Correspondingly, as they advanced across the battlefield and defeated numerous enemies, their merit accumulated continuously.

Their rankings on the Newcomer Leaderboard climbed at an astonishing speed.

The destiny energy they gathered grew ever more potent.

Eventually, their outrageous tactics reached even the frontline Black Path Tian Jun.

The Tian Jun laughed heartily: “Our Black Path’s true talent!”

“Exactly! These shocking tactics remind us of our own days!”

“Jin Que, your star domain produces brilliant people!”

“Who says otherwise? One of my descendants was captured by Jin Que’s people—just now the rear contacted me saying they’ve paid the ransom.”

This Tian Jun wasn’t angry—he kept praising Jin Que Tianjun: “Your subordinates have such divine generals—how could your lineage fail to flourish?”

“Aren’t those the divine generals who just escaped from Xiu Ming Tianjun’s grasp?”

Another Tian Jun pointed at Da Siming and the others, nodding with a smile: “They’ve got real strength—train them well after returning; they’ll be three more Tian Jun!”

“You flatter us too much, too much.”

Jin Que Shenjun’s face lit up with joy.

How could he not be happy?

Although Xiang Xuanqing and the others’ tactics left everyone stunned, isn’t that exactly what the Black Path does?

Besides, they’ve captured many disciples and grand-disciples of White Path Tian Jun.

Among them was Xiu Ming Tianjun’s hundredth grandson.

How it made him look good!

In sharp contrast to the Black Path Tian Jun’s gleeful schadenfreude were the White Path Tian Jun.

They gnashed their teeth, furious beyond measure.

“Kill them!”

One White Path Tian Jun transformed into a streak of light, attempting to descend to the battlefield’s edge.

Jin Que Tianjun immediately blocked him.

“Xiu Ming, repeatedly targeting juniors—you’ve got no shame!”

Jin Que Tianjun smirked at Xiu Ming Tianjun: “What? Your most talented grandson captured, and now you’re panicking?”

“Why panic? Just have another one.”

Nearby Black Path Tian Jun, enjoying the spectacle, shouted: “When he grows up, send him back to the Divine Demon Battlefield—we’ll make another profit!”

“Hahahaha!”

The Black Path Tian Jun roared with laughter.

“Fine, you Black Path has no decency, huh!”

“Then don’t blame us.”

Xiu Ming Tianjun immediately ordered the White Path’s prodigies to hunt down Xiang Xuanqing and the others.

“Oh? Xiu Ming’s throwing a tantrum.”

The Black Path didn’t back down—they sent forces to intercept. Jin Que Tianjun even transferred all his star domain’s divine generals to Xiang Xuanqing and Da Siming’s battlefield, placing them under their command.

“Do your best—capture when you can, kill when you must.”

“If things turn bad, retreat immediately.”

“Thank you, Tian Jun!”

The two squads sincerely expressed their thanks.

They all felt this Tianjun was truly refined.

With the protection of the Black Road Tianjun and the cooperation of a host of prodigies, Xiang Xuanqing and the others quickly gathered all the materials needed for refining the treasure.

“What great weapon are you refining?”

Ming He held the Soul-Grabbing Chain in his hand, momentarily tense, fearing Xiang Xuanqing might give him another new task.

“I’m refining a knife.”

Ruo Xi blinked: “Is it a knife meant to slay the mastermind behind it all?”

“Something like that.”

Xiang Xuanqing said: “I’m refining a pig-slaughtering knife.”

“Pig-slaughtering?”

“Yes! Pig-slaughtering!”

On the other side.

The materials for the Nine Songs trio were also nearly ready.

Zhen Yuanzi set up the altar and arranged the ritual.

“Heaven is round, earth is square; the Nine Chapters decree. Now I take brush in hand—ten thousand spirits hide…”

“So serious?”

Hong Yun paused, a chill creeping through his heart.

What kind of talisman is this? Do we need to open a ritual?

“The Heaven-Earth Joint Power Talisman!”

Zhen Yuanzi explained: “Carrying this talisman grants the aid of heaven and earth.”

“When the moment arrives, we will attempt to alter the cosmic rules, borrowing heaven and earth’s power to steal cosmic fortune and attain Tianjun status.”

Hong Yun’s eyes lit up: “This is perfect!”

It was practically cheating with a divine artifact.

“We’ll guard you!”

Da Siming gathered a host of followers to protect Zhen Yuanzi.

Central battlefield.

Li Ming sensed the movements of Xiang Xuanqing and the others, and was preparing his own backup plan.

“Hmm, we could use the True Martial Seven-Cut Sword.”

Li Ming didn’t have many close friends—True Martial was one of them; he often visited Biyou Heaven.

Or rather, he went to debate (fight) with Li Ming.

The True Martial Seven-Cut Sword was an ultimate technique they jointly developed after their debates.

“If we can unleash the Seventh Cut—the Heaven-Cutting Sword—it will surely slay the mastermind.”

Li Ming silently mused: the True Martial Seven-Cut Sword was unpredictable and immensely powerful, especially the Seventh Cut, the Heaven-Cutting Sword.

I wonder if this body can withstand it.

“Perhaps we could make slight modifications, transforming it into an array?”

“One person, one array—sword Dao and array Dao?”

“It should work.”

Peripheral battlefield.

While preparing their great weapons, the two squads also advanced toward other star battlefields.

The younger generation of the Black Road had all gathered here.

With two squads holding the front lines, the mid- and low-tier battles between Black and White Roads were completely reversed.

The Black Road now dominated the White Road.

They defeated and captured one prodigy after another.

The number of spirit beasts and divine artifacts seized was incalculable.

“Sell them! Sell them!”

“Sell them all!”

Hu Shisan was ecstatic.

While several elders slaughtered mercilessly ahead, he waved flags and cheered, sharing in the cosmic fortune.

Along this path, his ranking surged from over nine thousand to just over four thousand.

Xiang Xuanqing and the others were even more terrifying.

They had already entered the top one thousand and were climbing at an astonishing speed.

If this trend continued, claiming the top spot on the Newcomer List was merely a matter of time.

“Good heavens!”

“The Black Road has produced a freak this time.”

The Black Road prodigies stared at the rapidly rising names, utterly astonished: “Are they aiming for the Tianjun List?”

Each calamity sees fallen Tianjuns of old and rising Tianjuns of new.

During the last Divine-Mortal War, two White Road Tianjuns broke through the chaos together to claim spots on the Tianjun List.

The Black Road prodigies felt they were witnessing history.

They fixed their gaze on the top name—Bai Wudi.

This name, along with the five following it, surged ahead on the Newcomer List like a lone rider leaving all others far behind.

Nine hundred sixty-seventh… eight hundred twenty-third… five hundred seventy-first… three hundred fourteen…

“My god, they’re in the top one hundred!”

“Fiftieth!”

“Twenty-third!”

Hu Shisan cried out: “Nineteenth! Seventh! Fourth!”

“First place!”

He was completely out of his mind, no longer caring about his own ranking.

“Big Brother Bai is number one!”

Hu Shisan shouted loudly: “Behind him are Brother Fan Er, the Divine Martial trio, and the little princess of Gu Shen Star!”

“We of the Jin Que Star Region hold the top six spots!”

At this moment, under the leadership of the Wuchang Squad and the Nine Songs Squad, the Black Road army had circled the entire outer battlefield.

“Ahead lies the zone where the Tianjuns are clashing—beyond that is danger.”

The former Newcomer List number one, Shen Jiang, hurriedly grabbed Xiang Xuanqing and the others, fearing they’d lose their heads.

“We’re going to seek revenge!”

Hong Yun shouted: “Earlier, Xiu Ming Tianjun bullied us with his power and nearly killed us.”

“Today, we’re going to reclaim our dignity—and pay his family a visit!”

“Friend!”

Hong Yun turned around.

Zhen Yuanzi laughed: “Understood!”

Twelve talismans flew out—instantly, thunderclouds churned in the void, heaven and earth darkened.

“To attain Tianjun status and quell the chaos—now is the time!”

As cosmic rules shifted, the top six names on the Newcomer List vanished.

In an instant, the cosmic fortune of both squads surged to its peak.

“They’ve done us a favor,” Xiang Xuanqing smiled.

He had originally planned to defeat a Tianjun and take his place.

“Since then…”

Xiang Xuanqing, Ming He, and Ruo Xi exchanged glances.

“To attain Tianjun status and quell the chaos—now is the time!”
