The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 977
Chapter 977 Mo Wei Ge Shi (3)
In Tian Yuan City, an endless army of Diabolism poured in. Soon, they controlled the city, calmed down the chaos and stabilized the order in the city.
The Myriad Devil Sect entered Tian Yuan City and became the new ruler of the Central Region!
Although it had already turned into ruins, Tian Yuan City was of special significance. Therefore, it would still require a large amount of financial and material resources to repair it. It would take about three months for it to recover to its original state.
During this period, Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede and a group of Demon Clan forces returned. At that time, they were chased by the Sword God and ran to an unknown place to hide, so they could not be contacted.
When they heard the news, the war had already ended. Only then did they know that Li Qing had not died!
Apart from the Demon Clan forces, there were also the Ancient Desolate Emperor and the Nether Demon Sovereign.
The Ancient Desolate Emperor was completely unharmed. At that time, he relied on the strength of the Ancient Desolate Warship to move through the void and hide in the depths of the starry sky. It wasn’t until recently that he returned.
As for the Nether Devil Sovereign, the situation was even more miserable. He was almost annihilated by the Sword God’s sword strike. Fortunately, with the power of the Profound Heaven treasure, he was able to escape from the Heavens, but his devil body was also destroyed.
The Nether Devil Sovereign’s devil body had only just been cast and had returned to its peak condition. However, it was now destroyed. Its strength had fallen to the bottom of the valley, and it was about to start anew.
Li Qingnian had made a great contribution to the Nether Devil Sovereign, so he personally helped him recast the Devil Body. However, if he wanted to recover to his peak condition, it would not be possible for him to succeed in a short period of time.
“Lord Demon Lord, we have already occupied two territories in the Central Region and the Eastern Region. Should we also set up a unified dynasty to rule the world more conveniently?” The Second Hall Master said.
“Not for the time being. It won’t be too late to discuss this issue until we’ve calmed down the five regions of the world and defeated all the Righteous Dao forces.” Li Qing said.
“There are still three major domains that have not been wiped out. Should we send troops immediately? It’s not too late. Don’t give them time to react.”
“Three months later, enter the Northern Region!” Li Qing said.
As soon as the order was sent, the entire Myriad Devil Sect began to operate like a sophisticated machine, preparing for the war in three months.
Apart from that, the current territory of the Myriad Devil Sect was too big, and it felt like it was losing out on one thing and losing out on the other. Perhaps when Li Qing attacked the Northern Region, those remnant forces would come out from behind and cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Qing handed out a token to the people left behind. If he really encountered the remnants of the Righteous path attacking him, he would crush the token. At that time, Li Qing would naturally be able to sense it.
Since the forces of the Northern Region weren’t too powerful, they naturally didn’t need all of them to fight together, so they left behind a portion of their strength to defend the city.
The Second Hall Master guarded Tian Yuan City, Devil Saint You Luo guarded Heng Tian Stronghold, the Third Hall Master guarded Sword God Mountain, and Yin Qianyu guarded the Eastern Region Sacred City. Although their strength might not be that strong, they could still last for a period of time if they cooperated with the city defense.
As long as they had enough time to crush the token, they would be safe.
…
Three months later, the Myriad Devil army and Demon Clan forces began to advance towards the Northern Region.
Countless black-robed battles surged out from all over the mountains like a black tide filled with destructive power. In the sky, there was a dark patch of Demon Clan, like a dark cloud pressing down on the top of the sky.
Very quickly, the army advanced to the entrance of the Divine Life Religion. There was a Divine Tree of Life rooted here. In terms of strength alone, it might not lose much to Li Qing.
Fortunately, the Divine Tree of Life had a fatal flaw. It was unable to move freely, and it was also unable to use profound moves like a martial artist. Therefore, it could only be used as a source of strength, but it was unable to provide much combat strength.
Using the Divine Tree of Life to construct a defensive barrier was indeed extremely solid. The Diabolism forces were unable to take down the barrier for a long time, and they had been blocked from entering for several months.
In the end, he had to rely on Li Qing to attack. He held the Eternal Heavenly Saber in his hand and sent out ten consecutive attacks to suppress mountains and rivers. Only then did he break through the barrier of the Divine Tree of Life and seize the headquarters of the Divine Tree of Life.
Just as the Diabolism forces and the Divine Life Religion were fighting, the remnants of the Righteous forces were plotting to cause trouble in the rear.
Just as Li Qing had expected, Diabolism’s army was far away from the Central Region and could not return for a short period of time. Moreover, Li Qing had lost the Ascension Heavenly Palace and was unable to move the void, so he gave them a chance to sneak attack.
“The heavens have given us a good opportunity. If we attack Tian Yuan City, it would be like bringing the Myriad Devil Sect’s lair. Aren’t their efforts in the past wasted?”
“Tian Yuan City’s defense is extremely strong, and Li Qing will definitely be on guard when he leaves. Therefore, I don’t think Tian Yuan City is a good target. Why don’t we just choose the Eastern Region Sacred City?” Said Sect Master Qiankun.
“Mm, what you said is reasonable. Most likely, Tian Yuan City will not be able to be defeated. Then choose the Eastern Region Sacred City!” They soon finished their discussion.
Not long after, they arrived in front of the Holy City of the Eastern Region.
The remnants of Righteous path in the Eastern and Central Regions added up to twenty Dao Realm experts, emitting a boundless aura. Once they arrived here, they immediately alerted the defenders of the Holy City.
Yin Qianyu sensed the dozens of powerful auras in the distance and thought to himself, “As expected of the Demon Lord, they really came to ambush us!”
Thinking of this, she immediately crushed the command talisman Li Qing gave her and sent out an invisible force.
Li Qing sat cross-legged in the void and sensed the signal coming from the Holy City of the Eastern Region. He immediately opened his eyes and revealed a cold smile, “You’ve been waiting for a long time, a bunch of mice!”
Immediately after, he picked up the Eternal Heavenly Saber and sent it forward. The blade broke through the void, traveling endless distances, heading towards a distant place.
In the Eastern Divine City, the battle had already begun. Twenty Dao Realm experts attacked at the same time, aiming at this sturdy city.
However, it would not be so easy to break through the defenses of this city. This was one of the top cities in the world, built by the Heavenly Alliance over the generations. It was incredibly strong.
An expert of Li Qing’s level, holding an Eternal Heavenly Saber, might be able to break through this Holy City in a short period of time, but if other ordinary Dao Realm experts came, they would be far from being able to do so.
“According to this progress, it will take about half a day. Li Qing shouldn’t be able to return in time.” The City Lord of Chaos said.
As soon as they finished speaking, they felt something strange overhead. They all raised their heads and saw that the sky was already filled with purple and azure clouds.
Seeing the purple-green double-colored cloud, everyone immediately recognized it, and their expressions changed drastically, “Not good, it’s Li Qing! Why is he here? Impossible!”
In the next moment, the purple-green double-colored heavy clouds broke open and a gigantic and boundless blade tip stretched out from within. It covered the sky and rumbled down like a pillar supporting the heavens.
“Everyone scatter and flee!” A mournful voice rang out, and twenty Dao Realm experts scattered in all directions. Of course, Eternal Heavenly Saber would not be able to annihilate so many scattered people, so he could only choose a few key figures.
Sect Master Qiankun, the City Lord of Chaos, Daoism Lord Lingtian… A total of seven Dao Realm experts were enveloped by Eternal Heavenly Saber. They watched in despair as death descended. They let out their last furious roar, and then they were annihilated.
In this battle, the Righteous path had lost seven Dao Realm experts. They had already been frightened out of their wits, and they no longer dared to disturb the rear.
“How could this be? How could it be … Didn’t Li Qing already attack the God of Life Sect?”
“Perhaps it wasn’t Li Qing’s true body that descended, but the Eternal Heavenly Saber that pierced through the void and descended. Don’t forget that the fifth move of the Demon Emperor’s Nine Slashes had such an effect!”
“The Heavenly Piercing Sky in front of him doesn’t have such a long distance to attack. The distance between the Holy City of the Eastern Region and the Divine Life Religion is more than 108,000 kilometers. How did he do it?”
“Your strength has increased, right? Furthermore, the power of the Eternal Heavenly Saber is getting stronger and stronger. You can no longer look at it in the same way as before.”
“Then what should we do next? Could it be that we are helplessly watching Li Qing sweep across the world while we are helpless?”
“What else can we do? We can only wait! If we sneak attack another city, it will definitely attract Li Qing’s attack. At that time, it will be a wasted loss of manpower! Other than patience, there is no other way to go!”
“Then how long will it take? Ten thousand years? Li Qing is still so young, and he might even survive the ninth level of the heavenly tribulation in the future. Doesn’t that mean that the next ten thousand years will be shrouded in his demonic might?”
“Unless another person appears, he is as stunning as Li Qing. He is unparalleled in the world. If he has a strong opponent against Li Qing, he has a chance of victory!”
“That’s right, even if Li Qing ruled the world, he still couldn’t rule the hearts of the people! The hearts of the people are toward the good side, so sooner or later, our Righteous path will have a chance to return! Don’t be too hasty, it will ruin the big picture!”
…
After the destruction of the Divine Life Sect, it was basically empty. The experts of the Divine Life Sect left their lair through the Gates of Profundity.
All of the Immortal Sovereigns escaped because they didn’t appear in the battle in the Holy City of the Eastern Region because of the departure of their attendants. Otherwise, if Li Qing saw Immortal Sovereigns Miao, he might have targeted her first.
The reason was very simple. The Gates of Wonders were too annoying. They rescued people repeatedly, but Li Qing had lost the Ascension Heavenly Palace, so he couldn’t catch up. If he could not eliminate the Gates of Wonders, it would be very difficult to hunt down the Righteous path experts.
The Myriad Demon Army continued to head north, sweeping across the entire way. The ten great palaces descended and successively surrendered to the Myriad Demon Sect.
Very quickly, they arrived in the extreme north. The Towering Sect appeared before them, but they were already empty. Everyone inside had run away, and they did not dare to face the Myriad Demon Sect head-on.
Since then, all of the Northern Domain had fallen into the hands of the Devil Dao forces, and they were getting closer and closer to unifying the world.
Half a year later, the Myriad Demon Sect launched an attack on the Southern Domain. The forces of the Southern Domain weren’t that powerful, and only the War God Palace and the Fire God Sect could barely enter their sights.
In front of the Ten Thousand Devil Sect, they didn’t have much ability to resist. However, because the terrain there was a bit more complicated, it took them a long time. It took them three years to successfully sweep the Southern Domain and bring it under their control.
During this period of time, the Righteous path forces fled their sect’s inheritance and began their exile, hiding and avoiding Diabolism’s pursuit.
The situation now is exactly the opposite of what it used to be.
Righteous path could be considered to have experienced the hardships of being hunted down by others back then, and he didn’t even have a suitable place to stay. Of course, it wouldn’t be a problem if they were left alone, but the problem was that these forces were basically family-led. With a group of disciples, how could they be so easily settled?
Only by relying on the Gates of Wonders, the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, and other supreme treasures of the void, could he escape Diabolism’s pursuit.
Diabolism wiped out the Southern Domain and, of course, marched towards the Western Regions in the end. Originally, he thought that the Western Regions was the weakest and should be the easiest to conquer, but who knew that it would take the longest time?
It wasn’t that the Buddhist sects in the Western Regions were very strong. It was mainly because of their beliefs. The people in the Western Regions believed in Buddhism. Now that Diabolism had invaded, the entire people had rebelled. Immediately, the army of Diabolism had fallen into the sea of people.
Of course, he would definitely succeed in conquering the Western Regions in the end, but the situation was not stable. Rebellions occurred repeatedly, and he could only exercise iron-blooded rule before slowly calming down.
Since then, the world had been unified, and the lands of the five domains had fallen into the hands of Diabolism’s forces. The War of the Righteous Demons ended here, ending in Diabolism’s heyday.
