Chapter 3427 Taking the Initiative

The Supreme God Cult.

This invasion of the Thousand Demon Realm brought a total of fifteen half-step Immortal Emperors.

however.

In this battle of the Three Prefectures.

Of the fifteen half-step Immortal Emperors, thirteen perished in one fell swoop, leaving only two half-step Immortal Emperors to maintain order.

Such power was naturally no match for the Xuan Tian Dao Sect's army.

A short period of time.

Easy to attack and defend.

The Thousand Demon Domain, with the three peaks of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect as its main force, swept through the thirty-two prefectures in less than a month, killing all the cultivators of the Supreme God Sect.

……

"Master, all thirty-two prefectures have now been subdued, but the original cultivators of the thirty-two prefectures have all been killed."

The lingering remnants of fallen cultivators from various prefectures are currently converging, posing a significant risk of creating a forbidden zone for life.

This is something we absolutely must guard against!

Ye Yun said in a deep voice.

The formation of forbidden zones for life is generally due to two reasons.

Either a supreme being has fallen, and the resentment and Daoist aura left behind by that being have not completely dissipated, eventually evolving into a forbidden zone for life.

The second possibility is that too many living beings have perished, and the resentment of all spirits has gathered and eventually transformed into something eerie, becoming a new forbidden zone for life.

During the great calamity of the Yellow Springs, the sixteen prefectures of the Divine Heaven Domain were destroyed, and hundreds of millions of lives perished. Those sixteen prefectures were transformed into forbidden zones for life.

Up until now.

These sixteen forbidden zones are places where no other cultivators dare to set foot.

Because so many lives have perished there, and because it is tainted with the aura of the underworld, this forbidden zone of life is fraught with danger. Even top-tier ancient immortals would find it difficult to emerge alive.

Therefore.

That restricted area was then called the Forbidden Zone of the Underworld.

Its danger level is even greater than that of the former Xuanlei Forbidden Zone.

The Xuanlei Forbidden Zone is terrifying because in an ancient battle, several Immortal Emperors perished there, and the Xuanlei Holy Land was destroyed, affecting many cultivators. As a result, a great deal of resentment and unwillingness gathered, which led to the formation of the Xuanlei Forbidden Zone.

But at the end of the day.

The terror of the Xuanlei Forbidden Zone, at most, originates from the mysterious Immortal Emperor.

However, since the resurrection of the Xuanlei Immortal Emperor, the greatest threat to the Xuanlei Forbidden Zone has vanished.

This way.

The threat posed by the Xuanlei Forbidden Zone has been greatly reduced.

Compare.

The aspects involved in the Forbidden Zone of the Underworld are not so simple.

and so.

The Yellow Springs Forbidden Zone has now become the largest forbidden zone in the Divine Heaven Domain, without exception.

Closer to home——

The terrifying nature of the forbidden zone for life is evident.

Once these forbidden zones of life are formed, the Thirty-Two Prefectures will inevitably become a dead end.

If it really comes to that, the value of the Thousand Demon Realm will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Shen Changqing remained calm: "The Thirty-Two Prefectures are just a minor issue. What's truly important right now is to resolve the troubles caused by the Supreme God Sect."

"Is Master worried that the Church of the Supreme God will make a comeback?"

Ye Yun's expression hardened slightly.

Shen Changqing nodded: "The Supreme God Cult is powerful. Although it was founded a short time ago, the prestige of the ancient supreme beings is enough to make other cultivators submit."

As far as I know, the Supreme God Cult currently commands a considerable force. Having suffered a crushing defeat in the Thousand Demon Realm, they will certainly not let this opportunity pass!

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone else also looked serious.

Everyone understands that Shen Changqing's words were not an exaggeration.

The Supreme God Cult came with great force, but has now been wiped out in one fell swoop. How could they possibly let it go?

For a while.

The atmosphere inside the main hall became much more somber.

The joy of annihilating the Supreme God Cult and subduing the Thousand Demon Realm has vanished without a trace.

The Supreme God Cult of the Thousand Demon Realm is nothing compared to the truly complete Supreme God Cult, which is what truly deserves our utmost fear.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Shen Changqing changed the subject.

"However, this is not entirely a bad thing."

"What makes you say that, Peak Master Shen?"

Qianhen's expression froze slightly.

Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "The Supreme God Sect is now invading various immortal realms, slaughtering living beings and seizing the life essence, but how much life essence can a weak immortal realm have?"

"For that ancient supreme being, the origin of the ten mid-level immortal domains might not even be as valuable as a single prefecture of those top-tier immortal domains."

Therefore, that person most likely wouldn't take a mere mid-level immortal realm seriously.

At most, we'll be facing some Celestial Emperors!

As soon as these words came out.

Qianhen's lips twitched slightly.

At most, they're some Celestial Emperors!

That's easy for you to say.

That's a Celestial Emperor!

In the vast Xuan Tian Dao Sect, there are only four experts of this level.

If we go back a million years, the Xuantian Dao Sect didn't even have a single Immortal Emperor.

Do not--

Let alone the Xuantian Dao Sect.

Even in the entire Divine Heaven Domain, going back millions of years, there was not a single Immortal Emperor in existence.

This is true not only in the Divine Heaven Domain, but also in other Immortal Domains.

There are very few experts at the Immortal Emperor level in the middle-level Immortal Domains. Any Immortal Domain that has an Immortal Emperor in charge is a top-tier existence in the middle-level Immortal Domains.

"in addition--"

"The Supreme God Sect won't invest too much power in the mid-level Immortal Realms. If the Thousand Demon Realm can attract their attention, it means that the pressure on other Immortal Realms can be greatly reduced."

Now that the sect rules over the four immortal realms, although so far only the Thousand Demon Realm and the Azure Nether Realm have been affected, it does not mean that the other immortal realms will be unaffected.

If the Supreme God Cult is allowed to continue like this, the Divine Heaven Domain and the Azure Heaven Domain, among other places, will inevitably be affected by the calamity!

Shen Changqing paused slightly after speaking, and then with a thought, the phantoms of the thirty-two prefectures of the Thousand Demon Domain appeared.

"The biggest problem of my Xuantian Dao Sect is that its foundation is too shallow, making it difficult to compete with the strength of the Supreme God Sect."

If the battle lines are too spread out, it's not necessarily a good thing.

If we can draw the attention of the Supreme God Cult to the Thousand Demon Domain, and use the Thirty-Two Prefectures as the battlefield, we can directly restrain the Supreme God Cult.

This will save us a lot of trouble!

This sentence.

Finally, Qianhen and the others understood Shen Changqing's true intentions.

Immediately.

Xia Yutang then spoke in a deep voice: "Peak Master Shen's suggestion is indeed feasible, but all of this is based on the premise that we can directly block the Supreme God Sect."

If we cannot do that, then rashly confronting them head-on will only hasten our defeat!

After Xia Yutang finished speaking, Shen Changqing continued.

"What Peak Master Xia said is the drawback of this plan. However, as I have already said, the higher-ups of the Supreme God Sect may not be interested in the mid-level Immortal Realm."

What we are really dealing with is a portion of the Supreme God Cult's power.

This part of the power is not weak, but it's definitely not too strong either!

"And then—"

"The Supreme God Cult is now carrying out a large-scale massacre, and those top forces will eventually have to sit still."

If it really comes to that, the Supreme God Cult will at least suffer heavy losses against those top forces.

At that time, the threat posed by the Supreme God Cult will naturally disappear.

"So all we need to do is stall for time; other forces will handle the rest!"

Shen Changqing's words made Qianhen and the others fall into deep thought.

In their view, there was nothing wrong with what Shen Changqing said.

If the Supreme God Cult continues its wanton slaughter of all sides, it will eventually have to confront those top powers.

that time.

Even if the Supreme God Cult is strong, it will at least end in a lose-lose situation.

Look at it this way.

Therefore, the pressure that Xuantian Dao Sect has to bear is greatly reduced.

Qianhen asked, "How can Peak Master Shen be so sure that he can draw the attention of the Supreme God Sect to the Thousand Demon Domain?"

"It's easy!"

The smile on Shen Changqing's face vanished, and a cold glint suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Those are the people of the Supreme God Cult. Kill one if they come, kill two if they come. As long as you kill enough, the Supreme God Cult's attention will naturally be drawn to you."

How could such a power tolerate a mid-level immortal domain provoking them?

Since this battle is inevitable anyway, why not be direct?

Shen Changqing's thinking was very simple.

That's killing!

If enough people are killed, the Supreme God Cult will naturally be unable to restrain itself.

As for the consequences of doing so, it will only attract more power from the Supreme God Cult.

But in reality, this kind of thing is unavoidable.

From the moment the Supreme God Cult decided to invade the mid-level Immortal Realm, a war between the two sides was inevitable.

When the Supreme God Cult realizes it cannot defeat the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, it will naturally invest more resources.

What Shen Changqing is doing now is simply to bring this situation to a head as soon as possible.

But the difference is.

The former takes the initiative into their own hands, while the latter naturally falls into a passive position.

Compared to being passive.

Shen Changqing naturally preferred to take the initiative.

Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Qianhen and Xia Yutang, along with the other cultivators from the two peaks, naturally had no objections. However, they still had some concerns in their hearts, but they did not voice them.

"Then everything will be as Peak Master Shen says!"

"Since everyone has agreed, then for the next period of time, we will thoroughly investigate all prefectures in the Thousand Demon Domain. Wherever the Supreme God Sect is discovered, we will immediately suppress it without mercy!"

Shen Changqing's expression was serious as he began to issue orders directly.

Qianhen and the others respectfully accepted the order.

the end.

With a thought, Shen Changqing saw a wisp of pale golden immortal fire appear out of thin air.

The moment the immortal fire appeared, all the cultivators present changed their expressions, as if they had seen something terrifying.

Although there is only a single wisp of this celestial fire, the aura it contains is terrifying.

Subsequently.

Then Shen Changqing took out a piece of immortal ore and refined it out of thin air. The immortal ore of unknown grade melted at a speed visible to the naked eye and finally turned into a palm-sized token.

The moment the token was formed, Shen Changqing made hand seals, directly merging the wisp of pale golden immortal fire into the token.

In an instant.

The token, which was originally like white jade, suddenly had several pale golden lines, and a scorching aura was faintly visible.

"Qingyang!"

"The disciple is here!"

"Take this token and travel to the Thirty-Two Prefectures. In each prefecture, simply activate the token with your immortal power, and it will dispel and purify the lingering thoughts of those living beings, preventing them from ever turning into monsters and creating forbidden zones for life!"

Shen Changqing looked at Gu Qingyang in front of him and handed the token directly to him.

The latter grasped the token, feeling the scorching heat contained within it, his expression solemn.

"Disciple obeys!" (End of Chapter)
