Chapter 442: Chapter 354: Supreme God’s Fall, Xuanhuang Guardian City
"Cough, cough..."
Qing Wu was also injured, with several broken ribs. In a low voice, he said, "The Kunlun Daoist Monarch is right. Although we paid a considerable price, we still managed to slay the Twenty-four-winged Supreme Lord Angels."
"After this battle, the Divine Race will likely be much more restrained."
"Indeed."
"That makes sense."
The Queen Mother of the West and Shakyamuni Buddha nodded deeply.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
The four of them quickly cleared the battlefield, took all the spoils of war, and notified the Jade Emperor and the others that the deed was done.
「The scene changed.」
Elsewhere, the Jade Emperor, the Master of Nine Nether Sacred Land, and the other Masters of the Holy Lands in their group were in a different location, holding back several other Supreme Gods from the Death Deceit Race and the Divine Race.
"How could...?"
The Strongest of the Death Deceit Race froze. They sensed that the aura of the Twenty-four-winged Supreme Lord Angels had vanished, and a look of shock appeared on their faces. Their gazes involuntarily fell upon the Jade Emperor and his allies.
"Damn you!!"
The other Supreme Gods of the Divine Race were furious. "You actually managed to kill the Twenty-four-winged Supreme Lord Angels! Your Human Race deserves to die!!!"
"Let’s go."
However, the Jade Emperor and his group remained calm. They paid no mind to the Supreme Gods of the Divine Race, nor did they acknowledge the Strongest from the Death Deceit Race.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The next moment, upon receiving the news from Shakyamuni Buddha’s group, the Jade Emperor and his allies swiftly departed, as their mission was also complete.
"Divine Race. Death Deceit Race."
Just before the Jade Emperor’s group left, the Eternal Holy Land Master turned around. His gaze swept over the Strongest from the Death Deceit Race and the Divine Race. The Eternal Holy Land Master appeared as a stern, middle-aged man, and he spoke in a low, heavy tone, "You two races take your orders from the Dark Forbidden Land and the Death Forbidden Land. Before the Ancient Text Incident was investigated, we didn’t realize you had already become the lapdogs of the Forbidden Land Life."
"Those who offend our Human Race shall be hunted down, no matter how far they flee!"
As his voice fell, all four of them—the Jade Emperor’s group—departed.
"What a line... ’Those who offend our Human Race shall be hunted down, no matter how far they flee!’"
"The height of arrogance."
"Everything your Human Race has done is nothing more than a desperate struggle before death."
"Your Human Race simply doesn’t understand the true terror of the Nine Great Life Forbidden Lands."
"..."
The Strongest of the Divine Race and the Death Deceit Race did not try to stop or intercept the Jade Emperor’s group, merely watching them with cold eyes and uttering a few threats.
「Three Realms Battlefield.」
「Ninth Outpost.」
The war was over. The Nine Great Sacred Lands of the Profound Yellow Realm had used Xu Qing as bait to lure out the Divine Race’s Angel Legion, and what’s more, they had drawn the Twenty-four-winged Supreme Lord Angels into a trap.
In the end, the Nine Great Sacred Lands of the Profound Yellow Realm joined forces, catching their quarry like a fish in a barrel. With the overwhelming force of a thunderbolt, they completely annihilated the Twenty-four-winged Supreme Lord Angels in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, they annihilated the entire Angel Legion of the Divine Race.
It could be said that the Human Race had achieved an unprecedented victory in this war, dealing a severe blow to the Divine Race’s Power and foiling their conspiracy against Xu Qing.
"We won."
Xu Qing watched with his own eyes as the Kunlun Daoist Monarch and his allies returned to the Three Realms Battlefield. The Angel Legion of the Divine Race was completely routed, then surrounded and wiped out by the allied forces from the various outposts.
"Phew..."
Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, Xu Qing thought the war would last much longer; he never expected it to end so quickly. And with the Divine Race so heavily wounded this time, they likely wouldn’t be in any mood to cause trouble for him again anytime soon.
Next, with the war over and victory secured, it was time to clean the battlefield. The divine corpses scattered across it were excellent, precious materials that could be used for refining many things.
All of these were spoils of war.
「Seven days later.」
Although Xu Qing himself was unaware, his role as the bait for the plan, combined with his excellent performance on the battlefield, meant that his contribution to the war and the overall strategy was not insignificant.
In addition, Xu Qing was also the Direct Disciple of the Sect Leader of Shushan. Therefore, after discussions among the Nine Great Sacred Lands and the high command of the Three Realms Battlefield, Xu Qing was transferred from the Ninth Outpost to the Xuanhuang Guardian City.
Across the entire Three Realms Battlefield, the Human Race forces from the Profound Yellow Realm had constructed a total of 108 outposts and nine major cities, with each major city garrisoned by the main forces of one of the Sacred Lands.
Finally, there was the Xuanhuang Guardian City, which stood guard over the entrance to the Three Thousand Realms of the Human World.
Therefore, the Xuanhuang Guardian City was the most central and vital position for the Human Race of the Profound Yellow Realm in the Three Realms Battlefield, as it guarded the entrance to the Three Thousand Realms of the Human World.
It was precisely because of the Xuanhuang Guardian City’s defense, along with the nine major cities, 108 outposts, and the protection of countless Human Race experts, that the Divine Race, the Death Deceit Race, and many other covetous races from the heavens were unable to enter the Three Thousand Realms of the Human World.
It must be known that the Three Thousand Realms of the Human World were protected by the Emperor Dragon Qi. Although various Demons, evils, and Deceit existed, they were all intentionally left to exist in the Three Thousand Realms to serve as training for cultivators.
In a sense, the Three Thousand Realms of the Human World was the cradle that nurtured the strong and the seeds of future powerhouses for the Human Race of the Profound Yellow Realm. Countless experts had been born from the Three Thousand Realms of the Human World to protect the Profound Yellow Realm and the mortal world.
Thus, the strongest expert of the Profound Yellow Realm was stationed in the Xuanhuang Guardian City.
Furthermore, what Xu Qing didn’t know was that in the Profound Yellow Realm, the strongest of the Human Race were not the Lords of the Nine Great Sacred Lands, but the one who was stationed in the Xuanhuang Guardian City. It was precisely because of that existence stationed in the Xuanhuang Guardian City that the Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Race had been forced to offer up half of its Immortal Origin according to their binding contract.
From then on, the Human Race was able to create the Emperor Dragon Qi.
「The scene changed.」
「Xuanhuang Guardian City.」
Xu Qing had arrived, but he wasn’t alone. Besides him, the Direct Disciples from the other Eight Great Sacred Lands had also gathered at the Dao Field.
Xu Qing once again saw Zhang Ling, Ran Deng, Xu Lili, and the others.
In addition to them, Xu Qing saw many unfamiliar faces. These newcomers were not disciples of the Nine Great Sacred Lands but hailed from different parts of the Three Thousand Realms of the Human World.
However, these people possessed extremely high aptitude and their Cultivation was not weak. The strongest among them had even reached the Extreme of the Seventh Realm.
It could be said that they had all been specially selected.
"Next, you will all enter the Xuanhuang Guardian City."
The Kunlun Daoist Monarch’s face was still a bit pale. His gaze fell upon Xu Qing and the others. "You are all the most promising talents with the highest aptitude, selected from the Three Thousand Realms of the Human World over these many years."
"This time, you will enter the Xuanhuang Guardian City and undergo a series of trials. The one who passes all the trials will inherit the position of City Lord of the Xuanhuang Guardian City."
"The City Lord of Xuanhuang Guardian City."
"This..."
The crowd exchanged glances and broke into a flurry of discussion.
"Go on in."
The Kunlun Daoist Monarch’s injuries had not yet fully healed, yet he had personally escorted Xu Qing and the others to the Xuanhuang Guardian City without stopping to rest. This showed just how important this matter was.
"Yes."
"As you command."
"We respectfully obey the Kunlun Daoist Monarch’s decree!"
"..."
The crowd responded in unison.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!!!
The next moment, Xu Qing and the others transformed into streaks of light and shot toward the Xuanhuang Guardian City. Upon entering the city, it was as if they had entered another world, and they all vanished without a trace.
"Cough, cough..."
After everyone had entered the Xuanhuang Guardian City, an old man whose hair was almost all gone appeared before the Kunlun Daoist Monarch.
"Kunlunzi pays his respects to Senior Brother Xuanhuang."
The Kunlun Daoist Monarch’s tone was one of utmost respect as he bowed to the old man, addressing him as ’Senior Brother’.
