294: Chapter 294 The Great Battle Begins, with Various Parties Holding Each Other Back!

The Void Realm along the coast of the East Sea was thoroughly sealed, and blood surged backwards to fill the firmament.

Far away, in the Qingcang Kingdom, at the Main Peak of the Shangqing Sect.

True Monarch Ziyang slowly opened his eyes. He held a sound-transmitting jade talisman between his fingertips, its light flickering slightly; it was the message sent back from the East Sea by True Monarch Yuanshang.

"Heaven Sword is dead, Zhaohuo of the Taiqing Sect has entered the fray, and the situation in the East Sea is deadlocked, with four sides pitted against each other."

True Monarch Ziyang's voice was calm. Inside the great hall, the remaining seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs all looked toward him, flashes of brilliance erupting in their eyes.

"The timing is ripe. Our thousand-year plan begins today."

True Monarch Ziyang stood up abruptly, waved his large sleeve, and pointed toward the landscape:

"The defense line of the Liang Kingdom in the East Sea is ruined, and demonic disasters are raging within. Since the Taiqing Sect dares to extend its claws, we shall chop them off together!"

"Transmit my decree!"

"The army of the Qingcang Kingdom shall immediately cross the border and launch a full-scale invasion of the Liang Kingdom!"

"Show no mercy to any resistance!"

"Zihe, Yuhua, Tianxing, Xuanming, Chihuo, Qingmu!" True Monarch Ziyang listed the names of six Nascent Soul True Monarchs one after another:

"The six of you, set off immediately, head straight for the heart of the Liang Kingdom, and crush those remaining four Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators for me!"

"We obey the Sect Head's decree!"

Six vast, ocean-like auras soared into the sky, tearing through layers of the Void Realm and transforming into six long rainbows. Carrying the order to destroy a nation, they headed straight for the eastern Liang Kingdom.

True Monarch Ziyang looked at the remaining Nascent Soul True Monarch: "Senior Brother, the two of us shall guard the Sect, guarding against the sea demons using feints to attack elsewhere, and also guarding against the Xuanqing Sect of the Wei State becoming desperate."

"Easily done, easily done."

On this day, war drums thundered at the border of the Qingcang Kingdom.

Thousands of flying warships ascended, vast and mighty, blotting out the sky.

The army of over a hundred thousand Qingcang Kingdom Cultivators, like a black tide, ferociously crossed the border and slaughtered their way into the territory of the Liang Kingdom.

At this moment, the masks were torn off!

There was no morality to speak of, only naked annexation and slaughter.

At the same time, in the Wei State, at the Taiqing Sect.

Above the Main Peak of the Taiqing Sect, a massive ancient bell rang without the wind, its toll spreading throughout every part of the Wei State and echoing across ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains.

The Taiqing Sect Leader stood on the mountain peak with his hands behind his back, his gaze seemingly piercing through the endless Void Realm as he saw the changes in the East Sea...

"Zhaohuo is trapped; the Shangqing Sect wants to eat alone."

The Taiqing Sect Leader sneered: "Such a big appetite. Are they not afraid of bursting their stomachs or having their own backyard catch fire?"

He turned around and looked at the five Nascent Soul True Monarchs behind him.

"The Shangqing Sect has already sent out six Nascent Souls, and the Qingcang Kingdom's army is pressing on the border. This fat piece of meat, the Liang Kingdom, cannot fall entirely into their mouths."

"Qingxu, Xuanfeng, Lieyang, Hanyue! The four of you shall immediately lead our Taiqing forces and invade the territory of the Liang Kingdom!"

"Not only must you seize territory, but you must also rescue Zhaohuo and bring him back. If you encounter anyone from the Shangqing Sect, kill them!"

"We obey!"

Four beams of escape light in different colors instantly soared into the sky, tearing through the clouds.

At the border of the Wei State, dozens of subordinate Golden Core Sects and immortal cultivation Families under the Taiqing Sect all poured out in full force...

Warships streaked across the firmament, Spirit Beasts roared in all directions, and from the north, like a sharp blade, they fiercely stabbed into the territory of the Liang Kingdom.

The world was in chaos!

The chaotic war between the three nations had, at this moment, opened its curtain with the Liang Kingdom as the chessboard.

The Liang Kingdom, Main Peak of the Haoran Sect.

High above the sky, the clouds suddenly began to burn.

True Monarch Chihuo of the Shangqing Sect arrived treading on fire, his Immortal Foundation [Heaven-Burning Flame] manifesting, turning the entire sky into a sea of fire.

"Brats of the Liang Kingdom, hand over your lives!"

True Monarch Chihuo laughed wildly and pressed down with one palm, causing rain of fire to pour down from the sky, crashing directly onto the protective array of the Haoran Sect.

Rumble!

The array shook violently, and cracks instantly covered the light barrier.

Immediately after, True Monarch Qingmu and True Monarch Xuanming appeared one after another, the power of their Immortal Foundations intertwining as they mercilessly bombarded the array.

Within the Liang Kingdom, the remaining four Early Stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs were locked onto by the Nascent Soul old monsters of the Shangqing Sect and the Taiqing Sect respectively.

Four Nascent Souls from the Taiqing Sect, six Nascent Souls from the Shangqing Sect, and four Nascent Souls from the Liang Kingdom!

Fourteen Nascent Soul old monsters launched a world-destroying chaotic battle above the Liang Kingdom.

Mountains collapsed, and rivers ceased to flow.

The aftermath of the Nascent Soul Cultivators clashing razed the cities on the ground to the flat earth.

Those Loose Cultivators who had just drunk the Holy Blood and were still rampaging were, under the pressure of the Nascent Souls, like ants, exploding and dying in droves.

Bi Luo stood on a mountain peak, watching the scene in the sky that resembled gods and demons destroying the world, a trace of horror flashing in his emerald green pupils.

"Is this the might of a Nascent Soul..."

The Holy Blood Sect he was so proud of was simply a joke in the face of such power.

Under the crushing weight of the great trend, it did not matter if you were of the Righteous Path or the Demonic Path; everyone would be reduced to dust, and everyone was nothing more than an ant!

"Forget it, what the Old Ancestor sought has already been accomplished. The rest of this game of chess is not something I can play, and it is fine if the Liang Kingdom is destroyed."

Bi Luo sighed, then turned and left.

As for the Holy Blood Sect, let it serve as the burial object for this chaotic war; it was no longer his concern, and this chess piece should also exit the stage...

At this moment, tens of thousands of miles away.

Yunjian Mountain Range, Zixiao Peak.

The outside world was fighting until the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked, yet here it was very quiet.

The protective array of the Sect had long been activated, sealing the entire mountain range tightly.

Shi Jian lay by the side of the Lightning Pool, feeling the extremely chaotic fluctuations of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, a sinister smile curling the corners of his mouth.

"Fight, kill. It would be best if you all beat each other's brains out."

He stood up, and purple-gold lightning crazily roamed over his massive bear body.

"The Shangqing Sect has thirteen Nascent Souls; six have rushed to the Liang Kingdom, four are in the south guarding against the South Sea Yao Race, two are guarding the Sect, and one is in the East Sea fighting in the chaotic battle with all sides."

"The Xuanqing Sect of the Wei State has five old things tied up by the North Sea Yao Race, so they dare not act rashly. The Taiqing Sect has four rushing to the Liang Kingdom to snatch food, one in the East Sea, and the remaining two guarding against the Xuanqing Sect and the Shangqing Sect."

Shi Jian calculated rapidly in his heart.

"In other words, right now on the Xuanling Continent, all the Nascent Soul old monsters are being constrained and held back by each other."

"No one can spare a hand to manage other meddlesome affairs..."

He turned his head and looked toward the mountainside.

Outside the Immortal Cave of White Crane, the Spiritual Qi vortex was gathering larger and larger, gradually beginning to influence the strange phenomena of the heaven and earth, gathering into a giant eye within a radius of a thousand miles.

That aura of the Dao made all living beings on Zixiao Peak feel a sense of oppression, and one by one, they lowered their heads.

Brilliant light erupted in Shi Jian's eyes, and his sound transmission was like the sound of thunder:

"Fellow Daoist White Crane!"

"The timing is ripe! If you do not form your Nascent Soul now, when will you?!"

From within the Immortal Cave, a clear and high-pitched crane cry rang out.

Boom!

The stone door of the Immortal Cave shattered with a loud bang.

A dazzling white light soared into the sky, heading straight into the clouds.

White Crane revealed his massive true form of over ten zhang, his wings like snow, and the Demonic Qi of his Golden Core Perfection was released without reservation, facing the heavens above.

"Brother Shi, great kindness need not be thanked!"

"Today, I, White Crane, shall strive for this Nascent Soul Dao!"
