Chapter 3858 The Situation is Set

We lost!

Pei Chengyue left.

The Tian Ce Army's only advantage has vanished.

When Shen Changqing tore through the nine heavens and stepped back into the battlefield, the powerful figures of the Great Luo Heavenly Court immediately showed expressions of despair.

"The commander has ordered a complete retreat!!"

Some generals were unwilling to give the order and immediately ordered the army to retreat.

But just as the other party finished speaking, Shen Changqing casually unleashed a palm strike, and the Immortal Emperor realm general's body exploded, leaving no trace of his remains.

After slaying one Immortal Emperor, Shen Changqing did not stop and continued to kill the other Immortal Emperors.

Pei Chengyue is leaving.

He couldn't stay.

Those top-tier Tribulation Half-Saints would be impossible to kill unless one was determined to fight to the death.

unless--

If one can break through to the semi-saint realm, then that's a different story.

But for now, Shen Changqing cannot do that.

While he couldn't kill Pei Chengyue, dealing with other Immortal Emperors was a piece of cake.

Even the so-called top Immortal Emperors are nothing compared to him.

With every move Shen Changqing made, he suppressed everything. Top Immortal Emperors were unable to resist and were directly killed on the spot.

The remaining Tian Ce Army soldiers also showed expressions of despair upon seeing this scene.

Looking at the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect side, the morale of all the cultivators was greatly boosted.

Within the Immortal City battlefield, Mu Chen unleashed the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, transforming into an unparalleled deity. Purple lightning, like molten mercury, swept across the void. Seizing the opportunity, he launched a massive attack when the fighting spirit of the other Great Luo Immortal Court Immortal Emperors crumbled.

In the blink of an eye.

Then he killed several more Immortal Emperors on the spot.

With each fall of a Celestial Emperor, the blessings of Heaven's Creation enter into their body and are incorporated into the Heavenly Dao Token.

Under such circumstances, the Tian Ce Army's last remaining will to fight vanished without a trace.

Rout!

Total defeat

……

"The Tian Ce Army is finished!"

Inside the Yanxu Holy Land, Venerable Wenyuan shook his head slightly. He hadn't seen clearly what happened in the battle on the Ninth Heaven, but he could understand that Pei Chengyue had ultimately lost.

now.

Pei Chengyue suffered a defeat.

How could the Tian Ce Army possibly contend with them?

Defeat was inevitable.

If Pei Chengyue hadn't left, the losses of the Tian Ce Army in this battle might have been reduced. But now, it all depends on how many of the eight million Tian Ce Army soldiers will ultimately be left.

Venerable Wenyuan did not find anything wrong with Pei Chengyue's decision to abandon the Tian Ce Army and flee in defeat.

Those below the level of a semi-saint are all ants.

As an immortal being, how could I possibly take those cultivators who haven't achieved immortality seriously?

It would be strange for Venerable Wenyuan if Pei Chengyue were to fight to the death for the Tian Ce Army.

After all, there's no point in saving such ants who can't live forever. After a while, they'll all return to dust and ashes. They'll die here, and when their lifespan is exhausted, they'll pass away peacefully. It's just a matter of dying sooner or later.

If it were shortly after he attained enlightenment, Venerable Wenyuan might not have held this view.

But things are different now.

Having lived for countless years, he has become indifferent to many things.

Take the current Yanxu Holy Land as an example; many of the elders present were insignificant in his eyes.

Only the future of the Yanxu Holy Land is worthy of its attention.

Just then.

Within the mystical light, the purple-clad figure suddenly turned and cast a glance. Although it was merely an image in the picture, it gave the impression that the other party was staring directly at oneself.

The expressions of the many cultivators within the Yanxu Holy Land all changed.

Only Venerable Wenyuan remained calm and smiled slightly, saying, "I, Venerable Wenyuan, greet Daoist Qixuan!"

"So it was Venerable Wenyuan!"

Shen Changqing nodded slightly, acknowledging that they had met.

Venerable Wenyuan laughed and said, "Today's battle has truly broadened my horizons. If there is an opportunity in the future, fellow Daoist, you are welcome to visit the Yanxu Holy Land."

"Can!"

Shen Changqing gave the other person a deep look before looking away, but at the same time, the mysterious light suddenly dissipated.

Regarding this scene.

Venerable Wenyuan showed no anger.

Spying on things in secret is something that people generally dislike.

This is a battlefield, which is why the other side didn't say anything. It's normal for them to take action to dismantle the Xuan Guang now.

"With Pei Chengyue's defeat, there is no one left to contend with in the Northern Frontier. From now on, the Northern Frontier will belong to the Seven Profound Dao Sect!"

Venerable Wenyuan spoke slowly.

As he finished speaking, an elder asked in a deep voice, "If the Seven Profound Dao Sect takes over the Northern Frontier, will it try to seize other territories? If so, wouldn't we also be in trouble?"

"There is no need to worry about this. The Holy Land has voluntarily ceded the Northern Frontier, and this goodwill has been established."

"The Taihua Holy Land and the Daluo Immortal Court still exist, so the Seven Profound Dao Sect naturally cannot be an enemy of our Yanxu Holy Land."

Venerable Wenyuan smiled faintly, showing no concern whatsoever.

From beginning to end, he never imagined that the Seven Profound Dao Sect would threaten the Yanxu Holy Land.

It's not that the latter isn't strong enough, but given the current situation, it's unnecessary for them to offend the Yanxu Holy Land.

If the Yanxu Holy Land is truly forced to join forces with the other two major powers, then the Seven Profound Dao Sect will be the one to suffer.

and so.

As long as the Great Luo Immortal Court and the Taihua Holy Land still exist, the Seven Profound Dao Sect will never be able to break ties with the Yanxu Holy Land.

"The situation in the Northern Frontier is now settled. The Immortal Qin Dynasty has been destroyed, and the division of territories among the various factions is complete. In the short term, there should be no major disturbances affecting us."

Currently, many immortal realms are rumored to have produced top-tier opportunities. For example, in the Star Luo Immortal Realm, Dao Yuan Immortal Sect is said to have had a powerful figure who obtained a creation treasure but has since disappeared.

What the Holy Land needs to do now is to keep an eye on the movements of all parties.

The ancient immortal realm was indeed perilous, but it also held many unparalleled opportunities. If you could find them, perhaps you would have hope of attaining enlightenment in the next great calamity!

Venerable Wenyuan said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this...

The other Celestial Emperors were all deeply shaken.

Prove the Dao and attain immortality!

This was their long-cherished wish.

But to truly achieve immortality and break through to the level of a demigod is no easy feat.

Among a hundred top-tier Immortal Emperors, not even one might be able to break through to the Half-Saint level.

To truly reach this level, one must find a great opportunity.

As Venerable Wenyuan said, the ancient battlefield is now a place where danger and opportunity coexist.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Venerable Wenyuan said no more, and his figure disappeared.

……

Pei Chengyue was defeated!

The news that the Tian Ce Army had suffered a crushing defeat at Fulong Immortal City, with most of its eight million troops killed, spread to all sides almost instantly.

after all.

The Battle of Northern Xinjiang.

It is the focus of everyone's attention.

Many forces and powerful figures are watching that side closely, eager to see who will ultimately emerge victorious in this battle.

Anyone with eyes can see that whoever wins this battle will dominate the northern frontier.

Many cultivators believe that the Seven Profound Dao Sect is powerful, as is the Great Luo Immortal Court. A battle between the two sides is bound to be fierce, and there is even a possibility that both sides will be severely injured.

However, when they actually learned the outcome of the battle, these cultivators were all somewhat taken aback.

The battle between the two sides was indeed fierce.

But to say that both sides suffered losses is definitely not the case.

"Pei Chengyue's strength is indeed inferior to that Seven Mysterious Dao Lord. The defeat of the Heavenly Strategy Army in this battle was entirely due to Pei Chengyue!"

"Pei Chengyue's reasons are undeniable, but the Lingyun Peak Master of the Seven Profound Dao Sect is no simple man either. With the power of the Fulong Dao Stele, he alone stopped most of the top experts in the Tian Ce Army."

It is said that no fewer than a handful of top-tier Immortal Emperors have fallen at his hands, and the number of remaining Immortal Emperors is even greater.

"If it weren't for this person, even if Pei Chengyue had been defeated, the Tian Ce Army would have been able to annihilate Fulong Immortal City. At most, both sides would have suffered heavy losses, and the situation would never have turned out like this!"

"That's true; the strength of that Lingyun Peak Master is truly unexpected—"

In a short period of time.

Not only did Shen Changqing's title of Seven Profound Dao Lord spread throughout the world, but the name of the Peak Master of Lingyun Peak of the Seven Profound Dao Sect also resonated with all sides.

A very small number of cultivators found the name Mu Chen somewhat familiar.

Because the former had once left his name on the Ancient Immortal Stele, some cultivators had naturally heard of him.

but.

No one would connect the two.

Firstly, the Nine Heavens Celestial Realm is so vast that there are simply too many people with the same name.

Furthermore, that is...

Back then, Mu Chen only ascended the Ancient Immortal Stele, but now he has killed many top Immortal Emperors. The difference in their strength is too great. Even with the Subduing Dragon Dao Stele as a reason, no one would connect the two.

While the news was spreading like wildfire, inside the Immortal City of Fulong...

This immortal city was originally reduced to ruins during the great battles of many immortal emperors, but now it has been rebuilt.

However, the traces of the great battle are difficult to completely erase.

"metropolitan!"

Inside the city lord's hall, Mu Chen strode in, his posture upright and his expression calm, but the chilling, bloody aura left by the great battle had not completely dissipated.

Shen Changqing looked at the person in front of him with satisfaction in his eyes.

"You did a good job in this battle!"

"Sect Master, you flatter me. If you hadn't defeated Pei Chengyue, Fulong Immortal City would have surely fallen in this battle. I alone could not have turned the tide!"

Mu Chen shook his head, his words full of humility.

In fact.

He wasn't being modest.

He was well aware of his own situation. Despite using the power of the Fulong Dao Stele to greatly increase his strength, he was not at a disadvantage against many Immortal Emperors of the Great Luo Immortal Court.

But that kind of power cannot be obtained through one's own cultivation.

If all the powerful figures of the Great Luo Immortal Court were to attack at once, they would inevitably be defeated and killed in the long run.

Moreover.

Mu Chen understood this even better.

His strength is at most enough to deal with an Immortal Emperor; the real key to the Heavenly Strategy Army lies with Pei Chengyue, the commander of the Heavenly Strategy Army.

If Pei Chengyue remains undefeated, the Tian Ce Army will be invincible.

Despite this, Shen Changqing was still satisfied with Mu Chen.

Not everyone who holds the Dao Stele of the Immortal City can achieve what the other has done.

Only by mastering power to the extreme can the power of the Dao Stele be perfectly unleashed.

This is easier said than done, but very few cultivators can actually achieve it.

At least to Shen Changqing's knowledge, among the many cultivators of the Seven Profound Dao Sect who currently hold the Dao Stele, very few can achieve what Mu Chen has done.

and so.

How could Shen Changqing possibly be dissatisfied with this Lingyun Peak Master?

These prodigies will have no problem breaking through to the half-saint realm in the future.

The arrival of the next great calamity may be the opportunity to break through to a higher realm.

Think about this.

Shen Changqing then changed the subject: "What were the losses in this battle?"

Upon hearing this...

Mu Chen answered truthfully. (End of Chapter)
