Chapter 2559: Chapter 2559: The Divine Master’s Methods
The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor did not appear in person; he only had his Saint Emperor Guards arrange the allied forces.
After Su Yang settled everyone, he directly led the Great Saint Emperors of the Demon Beast Clan to meet the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor.
These Great Saint Emperors, although most had never seen the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor, had heard countless stories about him. Now upon seeing him, even without Su Yang’s introduction, they recognized him at once and knelt down, overcome with excitement.
The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor waved his hand casually: "Alright, stop kneeling. I despise this constant kneeling; stand up and speak!"
The Great Saint Emperors looked at each other and laughed. The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor was, as legend says, straightforward and bold in character.
"This time, your alliance with the Human Clan was well done!" Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor declared directly, "The Guardian Gods are despicable and shameless. When I was here, I kept thinking of ways to deal with those damned bastards. But unexpectedly, I left the Great World for tens of thousands of years due to some unforeseen events. During these years, I’ve witnessed the Guardian Gods’ methods firsthand, which only solidifies my determination to deal with them."
"Our relationship with the Guardian Gods now is very simple: either they die, or we perish. Forming an alliance with the Human Clan is the only path we can take. Fortunately, you’ve embarked on this path, proving you are not foolish. From now on, I won’t waste words—let’s fight. I hope, from now on, that no Demon Beast will dare desert the battlefield among us. Convey my words clearly: any deserter will be executed without mercy!"
The Great Saint Emperors responded in unison; this cohesion could hardly be matched by Su Yang prior. The appearance of the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor was like a stabilizing needle for the Demon Beast Clan, absolutely keeping them steady!
The allied forces completed arrangements in the Luan Yu Dynasty, and next, they waited for the Guardian Gods’ army to attack.
Meanwhile, under the Northern Ice Field of the Nine Realms, the Divine Master had finally emerged with his subordinates.
"How long has it been? Finally, we can come out!" One person greedily inhaled the fresh air outside.
Someone beside him glanced at the Divine Master and whispered, "Divine Master, why did you use a Divine Artifact to help that Dao Ji earlier? His purpose in coming to the Nine Realms was to seize the inheritance left by the three Heavenly Warriors; aren’t you creating competition for yourself this way?"
If Su Yang heard this, he would naturally understand why Dao Ji had a third Divine Artifact to escape safely under dire circumstances: it was all the Divine Master’s doing.
The Divine Master cast a disdainful glance and said, "What do you know? How can this Dao Ji be considered my competitor? He doesn’t even know how to obtain the inheritance left by the three Heavenly Warriors, how can he compete with me? Let me put it this way: in this Great World, aside from the Main God of the Guardian Land, no one else knows how to obtain that inheritance. Even the Main God of the Guardian Land only has a vague idea, not nearly as clear as I do. So, I have no competitors!"
Everyone exchanged looks, their gaze towards the Divine Master becoming more respectful.
"Dao Ji is ambitious, but he can still be kept for my use!" The Divine Master spoke slowly, "Kunpeng has emerged; the Guardian Gods might not be able to defeat them completely. If they fail to defeat them, and Su Yang grows further, who knows what might happen. Therefore, this battle must utterly crush Su Yang, allowing the Guardian Gods to eliminate them completely. Only then do I have the chance to obtain the inheritance from the three Heavenly Warriors!"
Beside him, several people exchanged glances, one whispering, "Divine Master, if the Guardian Gods utterly defeat Su Yang and his allies, then... then the Guardian Gods will surely take over the Nine Realms. Won’t we have even less chance to access the inheritance of the three Heavenly Warriors?"
"You know nothing!" The Divine Master coldly said, "If the Guardian Gods take over the Nine Realms, my chance to access the inheritance of the three Heavenly Warriors becomes greater. Currently, while Su Yang’s persistent gaze is fixed upon us, we don’t even dare show our faces, so how can we approach the inheritance of the three Heavenly Warriors? But once the Guardian Gods take over the Nine Realms, ha-ha, my identity within the Guardian Gods will come into play. By then, I can obtain the inheritance from the three Heavenly Warriors right under their noses!"
"Divine Master, you also have an identity within the Guardian Gods?" one person exclaimed.
"Nonsense!" The Divine Master coldly replied, "My various identities are beyond your imagination. Just remember, following me is your greatest fortune. As long as you work diligently, you’ll become the pillars managing the Three Thousand Great Worlds for me, understand?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly, their faces full of excitement. The Divine Master’s promise filled them with exceptional joy.
The Divine Master gazed towards the horizon, sneering inwardly, "Su Yang, you think you can protect the Nine Realms by dragging the battlefield into the Luan Yu Dynasty. But how? You think you can safeguard the Nine Realms? Just a flick of my finger can render all your efforts futile. You’re too inexperienced to contend with me. What use is being chosen by Heaven? The Heavenly Dao Earth Principles World Tree is ultimately mine—how can you contest with me!"
The Guardian Gods arrived at the Luan Yu Dynasty two years later, which was already extremely fast. After all, Su Yang and his allies took five years to reach the Luan Yu Dynasty. In the scope of the Great World, two years is merely a fleeting moment.
Moreover, during these two years, the Guardian Gods weren’t solely traveling; they were arranging an encirclement.
This time, the last Main God of the Guardian Gods personally took action, with a clear intent to completely annihilate the Human Clan and Demon Beast Clan. Thus, they decisively ensured the allied forces wouldn’t escape again.
Setting up an encirclement across an entire Dynasty in two years is already considered rapid.
During this period, Su Yang finally had a rough understanding of the Guardian Gods’ power.
The Guardian Gods’ strength was truly formidable, enough to make one despair.
Even though the allied forces had the followers of the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor, their numbers were still less than one-fifth of the Guardian Gods. As for strength, that’s even harder to say; the Guardian Gods have always had more elite fighters than the allied forces side.
