The Great Wild God - Chapter 1043
Chapter 1043 Offensive and Defensive Change of Momentum
In the sky above the College Mountain Range, layers of spatial folds were like cracked scales covering tens of thousands of kilometers. However, under the cover of the Yandu City Immortal Stage Formation, apart from Divine Marquis Yanyun Zhouyuan, Sancai Sword Immortal Chai Yu, Shouyang Immortal Qiu Hongxiao, and Fairy Qingming Zhouqing, who were standing in front of the Sword Cleansing Cliff, no one noticed the spatial disturbance in the depths of the sky.
Soon after, the dragon scale-shaped folds dissipated. An ancient primeval copper palace that was a thousand feet wide squeezed out from the depths of the sky and floated above Mount College …
There were many more pagodas of pure Yang Dao Artifacts in the mountains of College than this ancient hall, There was no lack of top-grade Dao artifacts among them, but the ancient palace in front of him was still three million years ago. Empyrean Tong Hai, a Golden Immortal Realm expert who had comprehended the Grand Dao of Cosmos to the Origin Creation Realm, had spent thousands of years refining a Void Magic Treasure that was beyond the reach of other top-grade Dao treasures.
Even though the temple had experienced many owners and many names changed since its appearance, in the Tai Huan Realm, even in Mount College and the Mohist Seeking Palace, everyone called it the Void Temple of the Yi Clan Divine Court.
To those powerful vassal forces that had the ambition to control the lower realms and seize cultivation resources from the lower realms, the Void Divine Palace that could break through the spatial boundaries of the various realms was no less valuable than ordinary Immortal-ranked magic treasures.
Although rumors had it that the number one artifact forger of the Yi Clan’s Divine Court, Grand Grandmaster Ke Qing of the Quasi-Golden Immortal Realm, had comprehended the Grand Dao of the Cosmos to the Origin Realm, and that the Void Divine Seal he had refined could be considered a top-grade Dao Treasure, it was still a little short of the Great Perfection Realm, unable to refine a Magic Treasure like the Void Divine Hall.
Fairy Qingming Zhou Qing did not expect that one day she would be able to witness the Void Divine Hall with her own eyes. However, she thought that in the future, if she had the chance to borrow such a Void Magic Treasure to travel through the starry sea, it would truly be a joyous occasion for her life.
Thinking of this, Fairy Qingming Zhou Qing’s eyes spun around Chen Xun, who had just flown out of the Void Divine Hall. He thought to himself that since he had been able to set up the Void Array in Mount College and tear apart the void before heading to the Profound Obsidian Realm, then his comprehension of the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth should have already reached the level of Empyrean Tong Hai, an ancient great power in Yi Clan. After the devilish tribulation, he should have spent some time refining a peerless Void Dao Treasure like the Void Divine Hall.
Fairy Qingming Zhou Qing was still pondering in his heart how he could make Chen Xun owe her a great debt of gratitude, so that there would be no excuse to refuse to help her refine the Void Dao Treasure in the future. Third Ability Sword Immortal Chai Yu, First Sun Immortal Qiu Hongxiao, and the others flew up to greet Chen Xun and the others and accompanied them into the Sword Cleansing Cliff.
Chen Xunfei landed on the Sword Cleansing Cliff and saluted Chief Divine Marquis Yanyun, introducing everyone behind him to Divine Marquis Yanyun and the others. “This trip was finally smooth. I’ve successfully brought everyone to the Tai Huan Realm, Stillwater Abyss, and so on. It’s troublesome for Divine Marquis Yanyun to bother me …”
Although Chen Xun had left Zi Wei’s avatar in Dragon Tooth Mountain to guard, in reality, without Divine Marquis Yanyun Zhou Zhu Yuan secretly guarding Dragon Tooth Mountain on his behalf, surrounded by enemies, and the Demonic Barbarian Army gathered in Iron River Gorge to the north, he would never have been able to safely leave Dragon Tooth Mountain for more than ten years …
Looking at Patriarch Primordial Chaos Demon Lightning Jun, who had cultivated into a quasi-Golden Immortal Realm and was about to become a Heaven as well as Dao Xu, Fang Xiaohan, Chen Che, Jiang Chengge, Ah Yin, Ah Jian, Ah Shui, Shishi, Chang Xi, Su Qingying, Xu Zheng, Ji Feiyan, Su Tang, Qianlan, Jia Dai, Chang Ji, and other Brahma Heaven Realm experts, As well as True Monarch Dongyu, Jiang Yunya, Wei Jun Xu Chunwang, Ji Lie, Lao Kui, Chang Zhen, Jiang Xiwu, Sword Immortal Chai Yu and Immortal Qiu Hongxiao found it hard to imagine that the sects of the lower realms would be able to form such a long-range army. Think about how terrifying and magnificent their combat strength would be if they merged with the two million elite disciples chosen by Dragon Tooth Mountain?
Even if the Mohist Seeking Palace and the Zhou Clan mobilized the sects and clans of the entire Yanyun County, they were still unable to form a more powerful expeditionary army.
However, it wasn’t surprising that the Divine Night Sect didn’t rise out of thin air. It was integrating the Yi Clan’s Young Monarch Residual Clan, the Heavenly Jun Six Clans, and the Guardian God Clan’s remnant descendants from the two sealed lands, as well as possessing the ancient heritage of the various sects and races, that was why it was able to lay such a deep foundation.
If they were given enough time, especially if the potential of the descendants of the Taiyuan and Asura races were fully exploited, the Divine Night Sect would be even more powerful and terrifying.
Seeing that the black-robed army had arrived at the Tai Huan Realm as scheduled, Divine Marquis Yanyun heaved a sigh of relief and asked Chen Xun,
“The spies of the Origin Devil Sect should have already penetrated Dragon Tooth Mountain. Once the Black-clothed Army officially starts reorganizing, it will be difficult to hide it from the eyes of the Origin Devil Sect-what do you plan to do next?”
“The identity of the Black-clothed Army has been exposed. It is highly likely that the Radiance of the Traitor Valley will personally lead their troops into Yuyang Prefecture and join forces with the Jimo clan of Yuyang Prefecture in the name of hunting down the remnants of evil. They might be able to restrain Dragon Tooth Mountain from the sidelines or attack Dragon Tooth Mountain in the event of the defeat of the Demonic Barbarian Army,” Chen Xun said. “We can’t give them a chance to take advantage of this. The first step is to defeat the demonic barbarian army that is gathered in Iron River Gorge. Only then will we be able to buy more time …”
“Attacking and defending Yi Wei is not an easy task.” Divine Marquis Yanyun sighed.
Three Talents Sword Immortal Chai Yu, Immortal Shouyang Qiu Hongxiao, and the others all knew how difficult it would be for the human and demon races to change their attacks and defenses.
They gathered their disciples to defend Dragon Tooth Mountain. There were more than ten top-notch Heaven and Earth Protection Arrays they could rely on. They could even secretly deploy the Immortal-ranked Great Arrays of Yan Capital City into the Vast Wilderness Mountain Range. Just by relying on these protection arrays, they could weaken the offensive power of the Demonic Barbarian Army by 60%.
Attacking and defending is changing. In addition to losing the advantage of the human race in terms of defensive formations, they also have to forcefully attack the many fiendish formations set up by the Demon Barbarians in the lava rift valley of the Iron River Gorge. This is equivalent to attacking the enemy’s strength with their own shortcomings …
However, they also understood the biggest worry Chen Xun had mentioned.
Once the secrets of the Black-clothed Army and the Young Lord’s Clan in Stillwater County could not be concealed, Gu Zhihua would mobilize the troops of the Yi Clan’s Divine Court in the name of hunting down the remnants of the evil deeds in Stillwater County.
After Gu Zhihua usurped the throne, his control over the counties of the Yi Clan was weak, but two or three Golden Immortal Realm Empyreans and fifty to sixty Brahma Heaven Realm Divine Generals could still be drawn out.
If they joined forces with the Jimo clan of Yuyang Prefecture, their strength would far exceed the strength of the alliance forces of Dragon Tooth Mountain and Wenmo College. In this situation, the demonic barbarian army would sweep over from Iron River Gorge. How would they seize the initiative in the battle?
If they didn’t know the plot of the Origin Devil Sect and Gu Zhihua’s true identity, they could still hide in Dragon Tooth Mountain and defend. After all, no one would easily attack a sect with Empyrean Golden Immortal Realm in charge. Otherwise, Gu Zhihua would have unified the entire territory of the Yi Clan long ago.
Now that they knew the true nature of the Origin Devil Sect’s plot and Gu Zhihua, they had to grasp the initiative of the battle every moment before they could reverse the final chances of victory for the human race.
“Do you want to tell the Yang clan the truth?” Venerable Cuifeng asked.
In the four northern Xia Prefectures, it was clear that there was a major problem with the Jimo clan in Yuyang Prefecture. Jimo Chi Qiu was most likely the black-clothed Demon Envoy of the Origin Devil Sect, but the Yang clan in Jiyang Prefecture had no problem.
Ji Yang and Stillwater’s lips and teeth were also cold. Seeing that Zi Wei Palace’s foothold in Stillwater Prefecture had already become a reality, Ji Yang did not hold back. He even pushed the Xuliushan Wu Clan to actively integrate into Dragon Tooth Mountain.
Although the Yang Clan’s fundamental goal was to erect a vassal state for Ji Yang Prefecture in the Void Flow Mountain, the Yang Clan had nothing to do with the Origin Devil Sect or the Devil Race.
Since Ji Yang and Yuan Stillwater had a cold relationship, the Yang clan would definitely choose to tie up with the black-robed army if they revealed the truth to the Yang clan.
Chen Xun shook his head and said, “There is no major problem with the Yang clan, but we may not be able to convince them to believe it. Secondly, the Yang clan has not been sorted out, and there is no guarantee that the Qi Heavenly Palace of the Yang clan will not be under the control of the Origin Devil Sect. If we want to inform the Qi Heavenly Palace of the truth, we will have to wait until we have captured the Iron River Gorge …”
Zhou Zhu Yuan nodded his head when he saw Chen Xun inquiring. There might be no problem with the top figures of the Yang Clan and the Qi Heavenly Palace, but there was no guarantee that there would be no spies of the Origin Devil Sect amongst the second-level disciples of the Qi Heavenly Palace.
The spy from the Origin Devil Sect that had fallen into his hands back then was a Nirvana Realm Perfect Disciple from Wen Mo College.
This disciple was in the Third Realm of Nirvana. He had defected to Wen Mo College and cultivated. His talent was extremely outstanding. He had only cultivated to the peak of the Nirvana Realm in four thousand years. If he hadn’t secretly set up a trap to trap Fairy Azure Ming, Zhou Qing, in a secret realm calendar, he wouldn’t have noticed that there was something wrong with this disciple.
After all, it was impossible for the Immortal Dao Sects to search the deepest secrets of their disciples’ souls without moving.
After that, Divine Marquis Yan Yun sorted out the disciples of Wen Mo College, but this could only ensure that there were no problems with the core of Wen Mo College and the Zhou Clan. He was still unable to guarantee that there were no problems in the other 20 immortal dao sects in Yan Yun Prefecture. There was no infiltration by the spies of the Origin Devil Sect …
Their plan to attack the Iron River Gorge was fierce and decisive, and they had to ensure that not a single word of news could be leaked out in advance.
If they were to act carelessly and the slightest bit of wind leaked out, the Iron River Gorge would become the death trap of the Origin Devil Sect, waiting for them to fall into it thoroughly and never recover.
The gathering of the demonic barbarian army required time. If the Origin Devil Sect found out about their secrets and secretly mobilized a few Empyrean Du Tian or Empyrean Golden Immortal existences to ambush the Iron River Gorge, they would definitely not be able to defend against them.
If they were caught unprepared by the Beginning Demon Sect and the demonic barbarian army gathered at the Iron River Gorge, their chances of winning would still be extremely high.
Under normal circumstances, the Origin Devil Sect would never have imagined that they would attack Iron River Gorge so decisively. The Origin Devil Sect or Demon Temple might only have one or two Empyrean Du Tian Devil Realm experts in Iron River Gorge, so they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage in terms of the number of Empyrean Golden Immortal Realm experts.
Secondly, the Demonic Barbarian Army did not expect them to forcefully attack the Iron River Gorge, and the Demonic Barbarian Army has always been actively preparing for the invasion of the Cangmeng Mountain Range to the south, so the defense system of the Iron River Gorge definitely cannot be said to be very tight …
More importantly, the Origin Devil Sect was still determined to provoke the human race to consume their potential. As long as Gu Zhihua wanted to use the power of the Yi Clan’s Divine Court to exterminate the Young Lord’s Clan, the Yi Clan’s Divine Court would surely react slowly under the restraint of many forces. This would give them a crucial window of time to launch a surprise attack on the Iron River Gorge.
