Chapter 663: Chapter 634: Taking the Initiative
Initiate the war!
Foster the Star Ancient City with a blood sacrifice!
This kind of thought had crossed Ji Xuan’s mind before, but he quickly dismissed it.
After all, since the war began, the Cyan Yang Divine Court had mainly been on the defensive, yet even so, the battlefield between the Two Realms was extremely brutal.
If the Cyan Yang Divine Court were to initiate the war, it would only escalate the entire situation further.
At that time.
The fallen cultivators would not be just a few.
"If we initiate the war, many cultivators will inevitably fall because of it—"
Ji Xuan’s expression was uncertain, and even he found it difficult to make such a decision.
The Cyan Emperor said, "Elder Ji, have you considered that if we wait until the Upper Realm truly sends forth Saint Immortal Kings and the Divine Court’s frontline is utterly defeated, how many more will have to sacrifice themselves?
War is not child’s play; necessary sacrifices are unavoidable.
Moreover, if we can truly repel the Upper Realm one day, the fallen cultivators from this battle will have the opportunity for resurrection.
But if the Divine Court loses, there will be no hope at all!"
"Your words do not seem like your usual style."
"To be honest, Elder Ji, these words are indeed not from me but from Demon Venerable Xuan Yin. Yet, I find some truth in them as well."
The Cyan Emperor’s words made Ji Xuan understand.
If these words came from Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, then there’s nothing surprising.
Among many powerful beings, only Demon Venerable Xuan Yin had the most ruthless means. Before he submitted to the Divine Court, he was from the Ancient Celestial Demon clan, and countless lives perished at his hands.
Therefore.
Demon Venerable Xuan Yin making such a decision was not surprising to Ji Xuan.
Of course.
There indeed was some validity to his words.
Ji Xuan pondered for a moment and slowly said, "This matter is of great importance, and I too must discuss it with other elders before deciding."
"Naturally, but this matter requires a swift decision. Every delay brings greater danger!"
The Cyan Emperor said solemnly.
After speaking.
He also turned and left.
After the Cyan Emperor left, Ji Xuan contemplated and directly summoned the Divine Court Elders to discuss strategy.
...
Half a year later.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court army fully deployed.
For the first time in a hundred thousand years, the Cyan Yang Divine Court took the initiative, with billions of cultivators surging toward the Immortal Realm’s defense line, sparking a war.
The sudden change shocked the entire Immortal Realm.
"Has the Cyan Yang Divine Court gone mad? On what basis do they dare to initiate the war first?"
"They’ve gone mad, absolutely mad..."
Most of the powerful beings defending the Immortal Realm were both shocked and furious.
Since when.
Had the battlefield between the Two Realms been dominated by the Upper Realm, when did it become the Lower Realm’s turn to strike first?
Now the rare initiative taken by the Cyan Yang Divine Court left these Upper Realm strongmen shocked and furious, as well as secretly puzzled, wondering what gave their opponents the confidence to act so.
But regardless of their shock, as the Cyan Yang Divine Court army swept in, the Upper Realm’s strongmen had no choice but to engage.
After all.
The defense line of the Immortal Realm could not be lost.
This was the foundation the Upper Realm had painstakingly built over a hundred thousand years in the Lower Realm.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court wants to fight.
They would naturally accompany it to the end.
...
The Great Leiyin Temple.
The news of the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s initiative reached here as well.
"World Honored One, what is the purpose of the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s actions?"
A Buddha expressed confusion, seeming unable to comprehend where the Cyan Yang Divine Court found the nerve to initiate the war.
Shakyamuni Buddha’s expression was indifferent, his eyes hiding divine light.
"The actions of the Cyan Yang Divine Court are indeed intriguing, but if the matter cannot be clarified, we only need to face it head-on. Once I take that step, all the plans of the Cyan Yang Divine Court will be insignificant!"
Shakyamuni Buddha did not know the intention behind the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s actions, but he had little intention of delving into it.
Even if the Cyan Yang Divine Court was preparing and plotting something, it would become trivial in the face of absolute power.
A hundred thousand years of accumulation.
Shakyamuni Buddha was just a step away from becoming a Saint.
It wouldn’t take long.
He would truly take that step.
At that time.
He would certify his sainthood.
Unless the Cyan Yang Divine Court had someone who certified their dao, Shakyamuni Buddha was confident he could suppress everything.
At that time.
Not only the Cyan Yang Divine Court would be annihilated, but any other Upper Realm forces that obstructed the Great Leiyin Temple would also be destroyed.
Miaoyin Bodhisattva joined hands and asked, "World Honored One, how long will it take to break through now?"
"Shortly it could be ten thousand years; at most thirty to fifty thousand years, I will certainly break through."
Shakyamuni Buddha said faintly.
He already felt that step was very close, and for a Semi-Saint, a span of thirty to fifty thousand years was just a fleeting moment.
After he spoke.
Shakyamuni Buddha looked towards the direction of the Path to Immortality.
A hundred thousand years had passed.
The one from the Cyan Yang Divine Court was still blocking numerous Upper Realm strongmen on the Path to Immortality.
Gu Qingyang’s foundational strength refreshed his understanding once again.
Such a strongman was fortunate to have many harmonizing Immortal Venerables blocking him; otherwise, the Great Leiyin Temple would have had no chance of resistance.
Then.
Shakyamuni Buddha closed his eyes again, his spirit wandering beyond the heavens, comprehending that mysterious Saint Path.
...
"Kill!"
In the battlefield between the Two Realms, cultivators from both sides engaged in brutal combat. Upper Realm strongmen led by Ji Xuan fiercely attacked the Immortal Realm’s defense line, causing many cultivators to fall within moments.
At this time.
An Upper Realm strongman shattered the void and approached, saying angrily to Ji Xuan, "Dare the Lower Realm act first? Do they not fear the annihilation of the Divine Court?"
"The Cyan Yang Divine Court has united the Lower Realm; when is it the Upper Realm’s turn to interfere? You have invaded the Lower Realm for a hundred thousand years and created countless sins, it’s time to pay the price!"
Ji Xuan’s expression was cold, and with a wave of his hand, Divine Thunder erupted, the Supreme Yang thunder power shattering the Azure Sky’s void. The strike was comparable to a Semi-Saint’s blow, causing the Upper Realm strongman’s face to change drastically.
The opponent hastily summoned a protective Supreme Treasure, intending to contend with Ji Xuan.
However.
In the face of absolute power, any resistance was futile.
Within moments, Ji Xuan shattered the opponent’s protective Supreme Treasure with a single Divine Thunder, and the remaining force completely obliterated his physical body, scattering blood and flesh in the void.
Thus.
A fifteenth-tier consummate strongman fell on the spot.
With the opponent’s fall, strange blood seeped into the void and then silently merged into various Star Ancient Cities.
Not only this fallen fifteenth-tier strongman but all the fallen cultivators from the Two Realms battlefield, the power of their remaining Immortal Blood was being secretly absorbed by each Star Ancient City.
But this process was extremely secretive; no one noticed these changes.
And as they absorbed the Immortal Blood of these Upper Realm strongmen, the Star Ancient Cities trembled slightly, as if undergoing some transformations. However, this change was not apparent at all, and amidst the fierce battle in the Two Realms battlefield, it naturally would not attract the attention of other cultivators.
