290: Canyon War

Extraterritorial Battlefield.

Deep in the canyon of the Great Barren World was the entrance to the Great Barren World.

Xie Nanqiao stood in the air, looking at the Eternal Army in front of her.

Since Ye Qingyun returned to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, he had organized dozens of attacks on the Great Barren World.

However, it seemed the Great Barren World's destiny had not yet run out, as Xie Nanqiao unexpectedly appeared at a critical moment, emerging from seclusion as an Initial Saint, and a very powerful one at that.

In just a few decades, Xie Nanqiao had advanced from Initial Saint to True Saint.

Ye Qingyun knew that a genius like Xie Nanqiao could not be allowed to grow unchecked, so the World Master of the Eternal Great World permitted Ye Qingyun's every attack.

This time, with the support of the World Master, there were three True Saints attacking the Great Barren World: two males and one female.

There were even more Initial Saints, but Xie Cangtian and the Ancestor of the Ling Family of the Great Barren World were too formidable among the Initial Saints, so the Eternal Initial Saints couldn't gain much advantage.

Ye Qingyun flew high into the sky, looked at Xie Nanqiao, and said with a smile, "Palace Lord Nan Qiao, as long as you agree to become my Dao companion, my Eternal Great World will no longer trouble the Great Barren World, and will provide vast resources to help the Great Barren World develop."

Xie Nanqiao looked at the old man in front of her and chuckled, "How old are you?"

Ye Qingyun was stunned; it was the first time this beautiful woman had spoken to him so gently.

After a moment of surprise, Ye Qingyun stroked his beard and chuckled, "I am over nine thousand years old this year, not yet ten thousand. I can be considered young and promising."

A True Saint under ten thousand years old was not considered too old. One should know that even with Xie Cangtian's talent, he hadn't advanced to True Saint in over seven thousand years.

Not to mention that the Ancestor of the Ling Family was already over ten thousand years old.

Xie Nanqiao rolled her eyes, "You only reached True Saint at nine thousand years old, and you still have the nerve to say that? If I were you, I'd just die."

These words made Ye Qingyun's face flush red, and his hands involuntarily clenched.

But the one who said these words was Xie Nanqiao; she had the right to say them. A True Saint at over one hundred years old was truly outrageous.

With Ye Qingyun's experience, he had never heard of such a monstrous talent.

In reality, Xie Nanqiao's true age had already reached four hundred, because she had spent a lot of time cultivating in Wen Ruyu's small secret realm.

Although one could cultivate quickly in the Time Secret Realm, the lifespan consumed was real. However, as long as one's cultivation level kept up, this amount of lifespan was nothing.

After all, a God King Realm cultivator had a lifespan of one hundred thousand years.

Just then, the male True Saint behind Ye Qingyun spoke, "Qingyun, why say so much? This Great Barren World must be taken down; it will become a major threat sooner or later."

Even the female True Saint spoke, "Exactly, with such talent, if she advances to Great Saint, it will be a disaster for the Eternal Great World."

Ye Qingyun nodded and looked at Xie Nanqiao, "Since you are unwilling, then there's no point in saying more."

After saying this, Ye Qingyun waved his hand.

The Eternal Army below, millions strong, attacked the Great Barren World's defensive positions.

Xie Nanqiao glanced at her clansmen below and, without hesitation, actively attacked the three True Saints opposite her.

As long as she could hold back the three True Saints, the Great Barren World would have a glimmer of hope.

If she couldn't hold them off, then there was no need to say more.

Gong Xiaorou was in the Heavenly Palace; having delivered her goods, she had not returned to Commerce City. After spending some time with her idol, Xie Nanqiao, she found that her idol was indeed an idol, not only powerful but also approachable.

At this moment, the battle in the entire Great Barren World canyon had countless spectators, and City Lord Gong Yuwei was also very helpless.

He had only sent his daughter to deliver goods, but she had not returned.

If the Great Barren World could not be defended, he would disregard any trade association prohibitions and do everything in his power to rescue his daughter.

In the distant void, Shou Guang stood bowing and scraping beside a giant Ape God.

"World Master, that Xun Xiuyuan has been missing for nearly a hundred years. This Xie Nanqiao's rapid rise, do you think it's possible she inherited the Ling Tian Pagoda?"

The Ape God nodded slightly. The Ling Tian Pagoda was his obsession. He had schemed for thousands of years, and each time he was on the verge of success, he failed at the last moment.

It was precisely because of this that he understood the power of the Ling Tian Pagoda even more.

"Regardless of whether it is or not, as soon as the Great Barren World falters, we will fish in troubled waters. Our target is the corpse of that True Saint Nan Qiao."

Qing Mian was also watching the battle. His mission was simple: to monitor the surrounding Great Worlds and prevent them from getting involved to help the Great Barren World.

After all, with the rise of the Great Barren World, the surrounding Great Worlds all looked to the Great Barren World as their leader.

Tilia and Xiang Shan, among others, gathered to watch. It was Tilia who spoke first, "What do you think? Should we help?"

Xiang Shan said with a conflicted expression, "The Great Barren World's Initial Saints are very fierce; the Eternal Army's Initial Saints haven't gained any advantage at all. But True Saint Nan Qiao probably won't be able to hold on this time."

Everyone looked at the battle in the sky as Xiang Shan spoke.

Xie Nanqiao's strength was very great, and she was improving every day, but she still had too little time.

Facing three opponents, as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Xie Nanqiao, spitting blood, retreated and stood firm.

Ye Qingyu looked at Xie Nanqiao's disheveled appearance and laughed, "A super genius, and still going to die. Have we not killed enough super geniuses in our Eternal Great World?"

After saying this, Ye Qingyu said to Ye Qingyun and the other True Saint, "Brothers, you two kill this woman; I will go down to help."

Xie Cangtian and the Ancestor of the Li Family were, after all, powerhouses about to advance to True Saint, and they held a great advantage against those Eternal Initial Saints.

Moreover, people like Ling Kuang and the Azure Dragon King had also advanced to Initial Saint, so in the Initial Saint Realm tier, the Great Barren World was not weak at all.

The rise of the Great Barren World was, of course, inseparable from Xun Xiuyuan's Law Comprehension Pill.

In the later stages, the Law Comprehension Pills provided by Xun Xiuyuan were extremely rare; they were only bestowed one pill when someone was about to break through.

Even so, the Azure Dragon King and Ling Kuang successfully advanced to Initial Saint.

Ye Qingyun nodded, and then the two of them attacked Xie Nanqiao again.

However, Ye Qingyu directly attacked Xie Cangtian below.

Seeing this, Xie Nanqiao knew that Old Xie had not yet broken through and would not be able to withstand a True Saint's sneak attack.

She let out a roar, broke free from the spatial blockade of the two True Saints, disregarded the attacks of the two True Saints behind her, and instantly teleported to Ye Qingyu's side, sacrificing her own injury to imprint a palm on Ye Qingyu's back.

Ye Qingyu immediately spat blood and was injured, looking at the Great Barren World below with even greater hatred.

Xie Nanqiao could only do this much; the two True Saints behind her had already attacked again.

She hoped that Xie Cangtian could block the injured Ye Qingyu.

Xie Cangtian naturally saw Xie Nanqiao's actions, his eyes turned red, and he directly met Ye Qingyu.

His opponent was naturally taken over by the Ancestor of the Li Family.

Just then, Tilia suddenly led the elite soldiers of the Great Elf World into the battlefield, while she herself flew without hesitation to the Initial Saint battlefield.

The words of Tilia were still echoing in the minds of Xiang Shan and the other World Masters: "You all know the Eternal Great World's style. If the Great Barren World is defeated, we will all become slaves."
