Chapter 1739: Chapter 577: Battle of Heavenly Dome Mountain
It’s strange to know.
Eight hundred years ago, if the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord wanted to hide his tracks, no one in the world, except for a limited few gods, could find him.
Although Chu Xisheng is still far from matching Blood Vengeance, he is already the ruler of the Ten States, with powerful dragon energy protecting him, capable of concealing the senses of all gods.
The problem is the secret technique they have prepared, the bloodline secret technique meant to kill Chu Xisheng in one strike, is launched with the combined strength of the entire clan!
The more complete the preservation of the clan’s strength, the more powerful this secret technique.
However, they are currently engaging in combat with the Dutian Divine Palace of the Human Clan, with the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and with the God-controlling Sect, fighting these divine sects.
Even the Divine Flame Palace of the Demon Sect has dispatched as many as twenty-five thousand disciples, pressing in from the west of the Ten Thousand Cave Mountain.
This not only gives them immense pressure but also causes a large number of their soldier ants to die and be injured.
The area around Ten Thousand Cave Mountain has few people and little blood food for them to recover from, and there are not many trees either.
Even if these dead soldier ants were to revive, they wouldn’t have much strength left.
Therefore, the power of this bloodline secret technique is continuously declining.
The later Chu Xisheng reveals himself, the lower their chances of killing him in one strike.
"According to the information you’ve gathered, it can be seen that this person’s temperament is akin to Blood Vengeance, with a heart for the world, seeking righteousness and benevolence. He is not only a heroic figure of the Divine Continent Clan, but theoretically, he would not turn a blind eye to Liang State."
The Ant Queen’s voice then shifted: "However, we may have forgotten one thing, he is also a monarch who commands the Ten States, with an army of twenty million. A king like him, no matter how benevolent and compassionate, cannot have the same mindset as Blood Vengeance."
Consort Zhuang was momentarily stunned by these words, then her willow eyebrows lowered: "Does the Queen Mother mean that he might want to use these Western sects and the court’s military to deplete our strength?"
"He might also want to use our hands to strike against the Dutian Divine Palace, these potential adversaries, who are all obstacles to his future ascension to the throne."
The Ant Queen let out a cold laugh: "Do not underestimate the cunning and strategic skills of a Human Clan monarch. We will likely have to prepare for the possibility that Chu Xisheng will not reveal himself until we break through the Human Clan’s defenses."
Consort Zhuang’s pupils involuntarily contracted: "But in doing so, our clan will surely suffer heavy casualties."
Before entering those densely populated areas with abundant life, every ounce of their strength is precious.
"So there’s no need to hold back any longer."
The Ant Queen’s voice was hoarse and resolute: "I have a foreboding feeling that if we retreat to the sealing this time, there may be no more opportunities to emerge. At this point, our clan actually has no room for retreat, we can only fight desperately, and see if we can settle it in one decisive strike.
I have already awakened all the male ants within the Ten Thousand Cave Mountain. Your task is to lead them to break through the Human Clan’s defenses as quickly as possible!"
Hearing this, Consort Zhuang immediately knelt with a solemn expression: "Your daughter will not disappoint the Queen Mother."
The male ants in the Daluo Ant Clan are superior to both worker ants and soldier ants, having the right to mate with the Ant Queen.
Their combat strength is extremely powerful, even surpassing those elder-level soldier ants.
Consort Zhuang then looked to the south.
She understood the Queen Mother’s intention.
This can’t be dragged on any longer. The Daluo Ant Clan can’t afford this war of attrition.
They must smash through the opposing defensive lines as quickly as possible, forcing Chu Xisheng to reveal himself!
Only this way can they reduce their casualties and then use all their strength to kill Chu Xisheng!
※※※※
As the Ant Queen predicted, Chu Xisheng had already arrived in Liang State. He was hiding three thousand miles south of the Sky Dome Mountain, calmly observing the battle of Sky Dome Mountain.
He appeared composed, without any intention to intervene, even as the battle at Sky Dome Mountain grew more tense and fierce.
Beside him stood another person.
That person was none other than Xie Tianqing, the Sect Master of Guiyuan Sword Sect, known as the ’Extreme Sword Saint’!
Chu Xisheng was observing Sky Dome Mountain, while Xie Tianqing was watching him.
After a moment, Xie Tianqing’s eyes gleamed with a strange hue: "I wonder why the Sword Lord has summoned me amidst such a great battle?"
Chu Xisheng placed his hand on the Heavenly Justice Blade, meeting Xie Tianqing’s gaze sideways: "I’ve predicted that within half a day, the Daluo Ant Clan will definitely come out in full force, risking everything. I wish to ask Sect Master Xie to circumvent them and destroy the Holy Emperor’s sealing from within Ten Thousand Cave Mountain."
He emphasized his tone: "I want it to be thorough, complete, without any reserve destruction."
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianqing was slightly taken aback, then furrowed his brows: "What is the Sword Lord’s intent? The Daluo Ant Clan cannot be truly killed."
Unless the Creation Mother Tree is severed, or there exists a Saint Level ’Death God.’
But these are unattainable for the Human Clan.
The Human Clan has no Death God, and the concepts of ’Netherworld’, ’Hell’, ’Ninth Netherworld’, ’Huang Quan’ all originate from the Central Earth Giant Spirit.
The soul of a deceased Human dissolves naturally into the world, not returning to the Ninth Netherworld, nor entering the cycle of reincarnation.
Therefore, a Saint Level ’Death God’ cannot appear.
Only tens of thousands of years ago, there existed an extremely powerful being, who became the master of all the phantoms and monsters of the Divine Continent, once contending with the Death Gods of the Giant Spirit over the Netherworld Hell, yet failed for some reason, wasting his efforts.
"Not being able to kill them doesn’t mean the calamity cannot be resolved."
Chu Xisheng smiled slightly: "Leaving them at Ten Thousand Cave Mountain will eventually be a source of disaster. Presumably, your sect cannot set their minds at ease."
Xie Tianqing pondered briefly, then decisively nodded: "Alright!"
He spoke firmly and resolutely.
Before today, there was almost no possibility of breaking the sealing of the Three Generations of Saint Emperors with outer power.
After all, not even Blood Vengeance of eight hundred years ago could do it.
The issue is that the Daluo Ant Clan’s escape damaged the sealing with the ’Daluo Blood Seal’, creating significant flaws in the sealing array.
Chu Xisheng was slightly surprised by Xie Tianqing’s straightforwardness: "Sect Master Xie’s swift agreement, without doubting my ulterior motives?"
Their two sects are sworn mortal enemies.
’Extreme Sword Saint’ Xie Tianqing slightly shook his head in response: "The Sword Lord has traveled thousands of miles, it is absolutely impossible that you wish to trap us to our deaths. You could just watch from the sidelines, why trouble yourself so?"
Xie Tianqing turned his head to look forward.
"However, please note, the Ant Clan may have means to counter the Sword Lord. Also, once the Ant Clan goes all out, the Dutian Divine Palace will likely suffer heavy losses."
"I understand, they are going all out, naturally using all their strength."
Chu Xisheng smiled: "Rest assured, Sect Master. Although the Daluo Ant Clan has deep roots, the world has never seen, never known the limit of my Sword Tao."
’Extreme Sword Saint’ Xie Tianqing felt a chilling thrill, perceiving the boundless confidence and unparalleled blade edge in Chu Xisheng’s words.
"As for the Dutian Divine Palace, I will later contact Lord Chen."
Chu Xisheng’s eyes slightly narrowed: "This battle will not allow them to retreat, regardless of the casualties; they must hold fast. However, the extent of Dutian Divine Palace’s casualties actually depends on the speed at which Sect Master Xie destroys."
Xie Tianqing said no more, nodded slightly with a composed expression, thinking that this is the so-called ’benevolent but ill-suited to command’.
This Infinite Blade Lord indeed has an ambition of a heroic temperament.
He possesses a benevolent heart, caring for the multitude, yet also such ruthless, decisive means.
