Chapter 2536 Defying the Heavens' Fate
Qin Sang and Xian Ying hovered in mid-air, their eyes gleaming with spiritual light, gazing towards the Zhu Qian Dynasty's camp on the west side of the forbidden area.
Chaos reigned in the camp, with flashes of spiritual light and magical treasure light clashing and colliding in fierce combat. The enemy's strength was clearly far superior to that of the Zhu Qian Dynasty, and despite the Zhu Qian Dynasty's powerful formation, it was unlikely to hold out for long.
The battle did not last long before the great formation began to crumble. Finally, under the fierce attack of the cultivators from the four kingdoms, the great formation was broken. The cultivators of the Zhu Qian Dynasty were exposed to the enemy's supernatural powers and treasures, resulting in countless deaths and injuries and a complete rout.
"The overall situation is settled!" Xianying clapped his hands and laughed.
The Zhu Qian dynasty was besieged by four countries, and there was no room for maneuver.
Just as Qin Sang was about to agree, his expression suddenly changed. He looked towards the forbidden area and saw that the power of the natural disaster storm was far greater than before, like the end of the world. At this moment, an unusual fluctuation came from the depths of the storm.
He was very familiar with this fluctuation; it was a power that shared the same origin as the Crimson Scale Divine Pillar.
"Has the Zhu Qian Dynasty finally been forced to unleash its national treasure?" This thought flashed through Qin Sang's mind.
During the time they were away from the forbidden area, it is unknown what happened in the immortal abode, but the two sides should have already bumped into each other.
The great battle before them was a reflection of the situation within the Immortal Abode. The Zhu Qian Dynasty had become the target of everyone's attacks, and in this critical situation, the only option was to rely on the power of the dragon vein; otherwise, they would be completely annihilated.
A massive vortex appeared amidst the natural disaster storm, the very source of the fluctuations. Then, a crimson flame flashed at the center of the vortex; only the Crimson Scale Divine Pillar contained this unique spiritual fire power.
At this moment, the cultivators from the five kingdoms who were engaged in battle also noticed the strange changes in the forbidden area and their attention was drawn to it, which eased the situation on the battlefield.
The flames within the storm's vortex grew increasingly intense, as if an underground fire vein was about to erupt.
Qin Sang gradually sensed something was wrong; this was no longer the Crimson Scale Divine Pillar he had ever seen before.
Suddenly, Qin Sang and Xian Ying turned around almost simultaneously, looking north.
That's exactly where the Zhu Qian Dynasty was located!
……
Horned Country.
At this time, the Zhu Qian Dynasty's army had already invaded their territory. When the Zhu Qian Dynasty's army pressed in, the Jiaosheng Kingdom offered almost no decent resistance, just like when the royal army came to attack them.
Previously, the enemy was merely two royal palaces, but now it is the entire Zhu Qian Dynasty. No one would believe that the Five Thunder Sect could turn the tide in the face of such a powerful enemy.
It can be said that the moment the Zhu Qian Dynasty sent the declaration of war, the entire Jiaosheng Kingdom almost lost its fighting spirit and its morale plummeted.
The Five Thunder Sect has created too many miracles, and some people still harbor a glimmer of hope for them, but that hope will soon be shattered.
This time, the Zhu Qian dynasty learned from the previous experience with the royal army and did not choose to advance unimpeded and strike directly at the heart of the enemy, hoping to achieve victory in one fell swoop.
After conquering the Kingdom of Jiaosheng, the Zhu Qian Dynasty's army proceeded steadily, dividing into several routes to gradually sweep away the Thunder Tower of the Five Thunder Sect.
This strategy struck at the heart of the Five Thunder Sect. Even though the Horned Kingdom possessed a national treasure, it could not compare with the Five Supreme Kingdoms. The power of the dragon vein was consumed every time it was used. If the Five Thunder Sect continued to endure, it would have to watch its foundation be uprooted little by little.
Both domestically and internationally, everyone is waiting for the Five Thunder Sect to make a move, but the Five Thunder Sect has remained silent!
Finally, one of the most important Thunder Towers of the Five Thunder Sect was breached, and the army of the Zhu Qian Dynasty stormed the mountain, wreaking havoc and completely destroying the Five Thunder Sect's accumulated strength there.
This thunder tower is actually a sacred altar called the Three Platforms Protection Altar, disguised as a thunder tower and regarded by outsiders as one of the most important thunder towers of the Five Thunder Sect.
When the tower was breached, the Five Thunder Sect did not react at all. When the Zhu Qian Dynasty entered, they found that the place was already deserted. It turned out that the Five Thunder Sect disciples had abandoned the tower and fled long ago.
The Zhu Qian Dynasty then publicized the matter extensively, while the Five Thunder Sect remained silent, and people's last hope was shattered.
A rumor was spreading that the leader of the Five Thunder Sect had already led his disciples to flee the Kingdom of Horned Life, and that the people of the Kingdom of Horned Life had been abandoned! At this time, those immortal kingdoms that had long coveted the Kingdom of Horned Life finally put aside their concerns and raised their banners to launch an attack.
For a time, apart from the western side of the Kingdom of Kakusho, there were enemy troops on three sides, and the country was besieged from three sides.
The people of Jiaosheng Kingdom were in disarray, and there was almost no resistance wherever the enemy army went. Immortal cities and secret realms changed hands one after another, and the immortal cities changed their flags and banners. The thunder towers of the Five Thunder Sect were destroyed one after another.
At this moment, even the people of the Cornerborn Kingdom, who were full of affection for the country, were left with only pessimism and despair, and everywhere there were signs of destruction.
The great battle outside the forbidden area took place when the Kingdom of Kakusho was on the verge of destruction!
The anomaly first appeared beneath eight royal palaces within the territory of the Zhu Qian Dynasty. Deep underground, where subterranean fire flowed, and enormous scales floated among the flames. Suddenly, all eight scales flashed simultaneously, and visible ripples rapidly spread outwards.
When the royal army attacked Jiaosheng Kingdom, the territory under the rule of Zhilian Royal Palace was shaken to the core, causing panic among the people. Not long after, an even greater shock occurred, bringing even greater unease.
Moreover, this time the shock was not limited to the Zhilian Prince's Mansion, but the territories of eight prince's mansions were simultaneously undergoing changes!
Within the territory of the Zhu Qian Dynasty.
A few cultivators, with precognition, awoke from their meditation and flew out of their caves, discovering that unusual celestial phenomena were beginning to appear between heaven and earth.
It was the middle of the night, but it was already bright outside.
The sky was ablaze with crimson clouds.
The sky was as if it were on fire, and a scorching heat filled the void, but it was not yet time for the sun to rise.
Looking around, the grass and trees on the ground all showed signs of decay, losing their green and turning yellow, as if they were being roasted by fire.
'Rumble...'
The vibrations came from all directions, the sound muffled, as if it came from underground.
As the tremors grew louder, the earth and mountains began to shake, and the effects quickly spread throughout the entire territory of the Zhu Qian Dynasty!
The eight royal palaces, the various tribes and sects, and even the royal city and the inner palace of the Zhu Qian Dynasty were all included.
Within the territory of the Zhu Qian Dynasty, both cultivators and mortals felt uneasy, even sensing an impending doom.
The celestial phenomena are becoming increasingly astonishing.
Amidst the violent tremors, cracks began to appear in the earth, from which magma flowed, radiating intense heat. Volcanoes that had been dormant for countless years began to erupt once more.
At this time, throughout the territory of the Zhu Qian Dynasty, one could see magma flowing across the land, forming a crimson web of magma, and dazzling pillars of fire shooting into the red clouds in the sky, connecting heaven and earth.
The sky was ablaze with crimson clouds, thick red clouds completely obscuring the heavens, making it seem as if the Zhu Qian Dynasty was about to be consumed by flames.
Mortals trembled in fear, thinking the end of the world had come, and even the monks were filled with anxiety.
Fortunately, due to the wind disaster, mortals could not survive in the wild and were all raised in the immortal city, protected by the city's protective array. Otherwise, countless lives would have been swallowed by the lava.
Some cultivators with profound cultivation and knowledge of history, upon seeing this world-ending scene, recalled that it had been recorded in historical books.
The last time such a celestial phenomenon occurred was at the beginning of the Zhu Qian Dynasty. Eight princes, wielding the national protective artifacts, followed the founding emperor of the Zhu Qian Dynasty and annihilated the invading enemy in one battle, shaking the world with their might.
Since then, the situation in the half-demon kingdoms has been stable, and there has never been another opportunity for the eight kings to act simultaneously, until today!
"Could it be..."
At this moment, countless cultivators of the Zhuqian Dynasty looked up at the sky and, through the red glow, vaguely saw a huge, incomparably large phantom deep within the red clouds.
Its head is in the imperial city of the Zhu Qian Dynasty, and its body spirals around the Eight Princes' Palace. Its size is comparable to the territory of the Zhu Qian Dynasty.
The cultivators within the Zhu Qian Dynasty could only see a glimpse of it, yet they were deeply shaken and profoundly shocked.
"Roar!"
All the subjects of the Zhu Qian Dynasty heard a dragon's roar at the same time, which shook the heavens and the earth.
The enormous figure tore through the red clouds and disappeared into the sky.
……
forbidden.
As soon as Qin Sang and Xuan Ying turned around, they saw the sky turn crimson like fire, and then a streak of fire descended from the sky, falling into the depths of the forbidden area.
At this moment, everyone outside the forbidden area, including Qin Sang, was deeply shaken.
The flames, like a fire dragon, plunged into the storm's vortex, instantly blazing red and shooting straight into the sky, dazzling to the extreme.
On the battlefield, the cultivators of the Zhu Qian Dynasty, who were struggling to hold on, cheered upon seeing this scene.
Immediately afterwards, the cheers stopped abruptly.
Suddenly, golden light burst forth above the forbidden area, with the force to shatter the heavens. Within the golden light, a golden sword that stood tall and upright was transformed!
The golden knife has a unique shape, long and slender like a sword, with the blade slightly tilted, the hilt pointing to the sky, and the tip pointing towards the storm vortex. It suddenly slashes out, leaving afterimages in the void.
As the golden blade appeared, clusters of white light, like snowflakes, appeared in the air. Immediately afterward, fox claws materialized from the white light. The fox claws were extremely sharp, and Qin Sang and the others outside the forbidden area felt a faint stinging sensation upon seeing them.
If you were locked onto by these fox claws, you would probably be torn to shreds, leaving no trace of your body!
Around the storm vortex, a yellow light appeared again, like a winding Yellow River, its waters vast and surging, its origin and destination unknown, much like the legendary Netherworld.
On the banks of the winding Yellow River, a towering ancient tree stands, its green leaves like jade, its branches like willows, swaying gently.
Four strange phenomena, following the fire dragon, simultaneously descended upon the storm vortex.
The endless natural disasters and storms suddenly froze at this moment, and the storm vortex burst forth with extremely dazzling spiritual light.
All anyone could see were different colored lights and sensed terrifying fluctuations. The lights were intertwined and extremely chaotic, and no one knew what was happening inside.
Qin Sang tried her best to activate her spiritual eyes, hoping to see the scene deep within the spiritual light, but to no avail.
Unexpectedly, all five great nations unleashed the power of their dragon veins in this battle. The Zhu Qian Dynasty was besieged by four nations, and its chances of survival seemed slim.
In the blink of an eye, a crimson light suddenly burst out from the chaotic ball of light, and without stopping, it fled straight to the north.
"Escaped?"
Qin Sang was surprised. She turned her gaze to the ball of light and saw that it was still chaotic, but no pursuers appeared. She couldn't help but think it was strange.
Since the four kingdoms were determined to strike ruthlessly, why did they spare the Zhu Qian Dynasty? The light orb became even more chaotic than before during the natural disaster storm. Are the four kingdoms still fighting over something?
Qin Sang glanced at Xuan Ying beside her. It seemed that the so-called 'bait' was not just a vague rumor.
The crimson light quickly disappeared into the horizon. String Shadow slowly withdrew his gaze, staring at the ball of light for a while, then murmured, "Strange! No one has come to stop it yet..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Sang suddenly realized something.
The hunt is actually a game between the Great Sage of the Demon Clan and the True Monarch of the Half-Demon Clan. I remember Xuan Ying once said that the purpose of the 'hunt' was not only to instigate war among the half-demon kingdoms, but also to hunt down potential geniuses among the half-demons.
Only the disciples of the Half-Demon True Monarch are true geniuses with the potential to break through to the Fusion Stage!
The demons' actual targets were Dongwei and his companions.
The fact that Xianying is stirring up trouble here, and instigating conflict among the five great kingdoms, is only one aspect of his actions. If the half-demon true lord cannot bear the suffering of the people and sends his disciples to persuade and stop him, it will be exactly what they want.
The Half-Demon True Lord could not turn a blind eye and allow the Half-Demon Kingdoms to be manipulated by the Demon Race at will; otherwise, he would not be far from extinction.
If the Half-Demon True Lord were to personally intervene, the Great Sage of the Demon Clan would likely appear immediately to intercept and kill him.
Little did anyone know, the Half-Demon True Lord had a bigger scheme. Knowing the intentions of the demons like Xuan Ying, he would not only not stop them this time, but would also secretly fuel their flames.
Although they failed to hunt down the half-demon genius as they had hoped, another objective was achieved: first, the Zhu Qian Dynasty was besieged by four kingdoms, and now the four immortal kingdoms are fighting each other, and the chaotic world has begun!
Subsequently, another incident occurred within the forbidden area.
Golden blades, sharp claws, the Yellow Springs, and tree shadows all burst out of the ball of light. The golden blade slashed swiftly, cleaving through the void with a single strike, and then vanished without a trace.
Claw, Yellow Spring, and Tree Shadow failed to block Golden Knife. After circling briefly in mid-air, they chased after Crimson Light in the direction it had fled.
Seeing this, Qin Sang was somewhat confused, but she was certain that the more chaotic the situation, the more advantageous it would be for Jiao Sheng Kingdom.
……
At the time the celestial phenomenon occurred, the army of the Zhu Qian Dynasty was conquering and seizing territory in the Kingdom of Jiaosheng.
The Kingdom of Jiaosheng almost gave up resistance, and its army moved with ease. Other immortal kingdoms also took full advantage of the situation with the tacit approval of the Zhu Qian Dynasty.
Just when things seemed to be going very well, a sudden turn of events shattered the hopes of countless people.
Just as the Zhu Qian Dynasty's army was about to occupy the former territory of the Chi Rong Kingdom, the offensive came to an abrupt halt without any warning, and the army suddenly retreated. It seemed that the army had encountered some kind of crisis, and like a tide, it withdrew from the Jiao Sheng Kingdom at a faster pace than it had come, abandoning even its previous gains.
When the other immortal kingdoms received the news, they were all at a loss, not knowing what had happened.
Has the Kingdom of Jiaosheng already surrendered to the Zhu Qian Dynasty?
By the time the truth was revealed, the war in the forbidden land had ended, and the five great kingdoms were preparing for war. The Heavenly Fox Kingdom was the first to declare war on the Zhu Qian Dynasty!
Following the Tianhu Shangbang, the Cangwu Kingdom also declared war on the Zhuqian Dynasty. The declaration of war listed the crimes of the Zhuqian Dynasty, and the army stationed in the south moved westward, with its military might pointing directly at the Zhuqian Dynasty.
At the same time, the Zhu Qian Dynasty was declared war on by two major immortal kingdoms. The attitudes of the Da Geng Kingdom and Xing Tu Gui Zhou were unclear. Where would the Zhu Qian Dynasty find the strength to attack the Jiao Sheng Kingdom?
When the other immortal kingdoms learned the truth, they were all dumbfounded. They had hoped to gain some benefits, but they never expected that the Zhu Qian Dynasty would withdraw its troops. Now they were in a dilemma.
The extraordinary destiny of the Kingdom of Horned Blossom has once again shocked the world!
