Chapter 849 - - 588 Quick-Acting Daoist Ancestor_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

There are two reasons for their downfall: first, the key phrases became useless, and second, they were too fragile. A wide-scale spell coverage meant they were almost dead on contact.

Duge sensed this massacre but showed no reaction. He could teleport into the battlefield, but without a clear understanding of the situation on the Heavenly Court’s side, he didn’t want to take the risk alone.

Compassion does not take command in war. There is victory and defeat in battle, and it is impossible not to have casualties.

Just as Emperor Yuan Sheng launched a surprise attack on the allied forces of the three clans of the Middle Heavenly State, the Demon Emperor successfully activated the Primordial Banner and moved over three hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals beneath the illusory shadow of the Jianmu, directly sending them into the encirclement at Mount Sumeru…

The allied forces of the three clans immediately began to slaughter the Heavenly Soldiers who had been transferred by the Primordial Banner, but the Heavenly Soldiers were well-trained, and the Primordial Banner was used for mass transference of individuals.

One of the Ten Celestial Venerables, Celestial Qingsheng, was directly cut off from his forces. Celestial Qingsheng had over a dozen Daluo Golden Immortal disciples, and the magical treasure he wielded was known as the Yellow Luo Umbrella.

The Yellow Luo Umbrella was opened immediately, shielding the Heavenly Soldiers from the first wave of attacks, and then the soldiers began to form a defensive formation. They had experience fighting the Demon Clan and naturally knew how to respond to sudden situations!

However, even under the command of Celestial Qingsheng, the defense formation of the Heavenly Soldiers was quickly breached.

After all.

Aside from the two quasi-saint level emperors on Duge’s side, there was also a Celestial Venerable, one who commanded the Thunder Skill.

Puhua Celestial Venerable and Celestial Qingsheng were similarly matched in cultivation level, and their battle could not produce a victor in a short time. However, the battle tipped when the Alien Warriors joined the fray.

As the two Celestial Venerables clashed, Queen Bai Da protected Feng Chang, the army commander of the Arctic Holy State, with a brocade ball as they burst onto the battlefield.

Then, the vision and perception of Celestial Qingsheng and his Daluo Golden Immortal disciples were forcibly shielded. The loss of vision and perception wasn’t too detrimental for the battle, but the second skill, Flawless White Jade, was truly fearsome.

The battlefield was inevitably splattered with blood, and even Daluo Golden Immortals might get stained.

The Flawless White Jade skill was used.

Celestial Qingsheng, in the midst of battle, uncontrollably used the Dust Removal Skill on himself. In a battle of masters, a tiny mistake could lead to a huge loss.

First, vision was lost, then during a critical moment in battle, the Dust Removal Skill, totally unrelated to combat, was used by surprise.

Celestial Qingsheng’s combat rhythm was immediately disrupted.

In less than five encounters, Celestial Qingsheng, who was evenly matched with Puhua Celestial Venerable in cultivation, was defeated and captured alive. Before being captured, he still couldn’t help but use a Dust Removal Skill on himself.

Not only was Celestial Qingsheng affected, but the Alien Warriors’ skills were not limited by magical power. Under the protection of Queen Bai Da, Che Shouchun quickly circled the battlefield.

Then…

Rows upon rows of the three hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were struck down.

This spectacle left the Demon Clan’s soldiers dumbfounded. When had fighting the Immortal Court ever been so easy?

The most shocked were the Demon Emperor, the Underworld Emperor and others who had witnessed this scene. They knew a key phrase would randomly awaken two skills, but they never expected a simple purification keyword to have such a powerful effect on the battlefield…

If it weren’t for their hope that Duge could conquer the Daoist Rhyme, allowing them to replicate the key phrase’s rules without any losses, they would have been tempted to seize the bodies of the Alien Warriors right then and there.

To seize the bodies of the Alien Warriors would mean breaking through the two-skill limit of the key phrase, fully unleashing all the effects of the keyword rules, and breaking through the current realm would be within reach.

…

Shit!

At this rate, it won’t be long before the Immortal Court’s army is completely wiped out.

Witnessing the scene before him, Duge was lost for words.

According to the Demon Emperor’s earlier statement, the effect of using the Primordial Banner to transfer the battlefield wasn’t great, and it would only take a quarter of an hour for support from the Immortal Court to arrive.

But this battle from start to finish barely took five minutes!

The combination of the three clans’ allied forces and the Alien Warriors’ skills made the battle much too effective…

However.

The allied forces of the three clans under the cover of Jianmu in the Middle Heavenly State, under the attack of the two Celestial Venerables, seemed to have not held on for very long either…

With this method of fighting, how could they drag out any time at all!

…

The Immortal Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, and Daoist Ancestor were also quietly observing the battlefield.

Their realms were high enough that as soon as the Demon Emperor used the Primordial Banner to transfer people, they closely followed. And then they witnessed the scene where Celestial Qingsheng was taken down as easily as chopping vegetables.

Watching Che Shouchun, who had made great contributions in the fight, a sharp glint flashed in the Immortal Emperor’s eyes.

In his palm thunder writhed, as if in the next moment, he was about to release it onto Che Shouchun’s head.

“Your Majesty,” the Queen Mother shook her head at him, saying, “The Demon Emperor and the Underworld Emperor are here. If we don’t kill him on the spot and they entangle us, we will be put on the defensive. Duge is surrounded by hundreds of Alien Warriors, and who knows what kind of strange Divine Skills they might possess!”

“With this method of fighting, in just a few days, the Immortal Court’s army will be utterly defeated,” said the Immortal Emperor. “Such scum, I could kill hundreds with a flick of my wrist. Shall we really allow them to ride roughshod over us?”

“Daoist Ancestor sent Gao Ming and the others here probably to deal with them,” the Queen Mother frowned and said. “Without the Daoist Ancestor giving advice, if the Heavenly Court rashly deployed troops, that would truly be a serious disadvantage.”

“What exactly does the Daoist Ancestor want to do?” The Immortal Emperor stared at Duge below, “This headless and senseless action really makes it impossible to understand!”

“Maybe he wants to uncover the secrets of the key phrases through this catastrophe, or perhaps he wants to advance further with the help of Duge,” sighed the Queen Mother. “Ever since he became a saint, he no longer has the beings of the Three Realms in his heart.”

…

“Fellow Daoists, this is the power of the key phrases,” Duge, standing beside the Demon Emperor and Underworld Emperor, pointed at Che Shouchun and said, “Just imagine, if one possesses the cultivation level of a Quasi-Saint, not to mention more, just having two key phrases and developing four skills would allow one to dominate a territory in this world.”

“Indeed, the key phrases are truly powerful,” nodded the Underworld Emperor in agreement, asking, “Human Emperor, with your ability, are you still unable to replicate the key phrases in the form of Daoist Rhyme?”

Duge shook his head: “Not for the time being, I’m merely an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. If I can integrate my body with the Dao in this world and gather the power of the Heavenly Dao, perhaps I could replicate the Daoist Rhyme.”

“How shall we continue to fight?” asked the Demon Emperor, pointing at Che Shouchun, “With his assistance, as long as the Immortal Emperor and Queen Mother do not take action and we coordinate with the Primordial Banner, it shouldn’t take more than three days to defeat the Immortal Court’s army.”

That’s exactly what’s giving me a headache!

Duge was speechless.

Suddenly, he made up his mind and said, “Let’s take it down then! First, let’s arrange all tribes properly. When the time comes, I will use the pretext of calling upon the power of the law to see if I can replicate the Daoist Rhyme of the key phrases. If it doesn’t work, then you all should follow the path of possession with me and escape from this world, to personally experience the key phrases. By combining the strength of everyone, perhaps we could find another path.

Demon Emperor, just keep capturing people with the Primordial Banner. I’m going to have a talk with Celestial Qingsheng, get his Cultivation Technique, and perfect my Cultivation Level…”

Duge never dwelled on a single path; watching the defeat of the Immortal Court without any effort seemed too fake if they continued to play along. It was better to decisively defeat the Immortal Court, force out the Immortal Emperor, Daoist Ancestor, and others, and negotiate a collective possession to enter another Alien Battlefield. Maybe it was possible to fully replenish his soul?

Pan-Universe Entertainment had evidently agreed to his plan.

As long as the Demon Emperor and the others dragged their feet and didn’t go through possession, perhaps he could fight for a few more days of development time.

With the power of everyone in the Demon Clan, Immortal Court, Mortal Realm, and Underworld combined, perhaps they could push the spell of words following the law to its utmost limit.

…

“The path of possession?”

The Daoist Ancestor, hidden in the shadows, heard Duge’s words. His brows trembled slightly as he subconsciously looked towards the direction of Middle Heavenly State.

Then, a nearly transparent duplicate stepped out from his body.

This duplicate took a step.

As if traversing time and space, in an instant, he appeared beside Gao Ming and the others.

Gao Ming and his companions were unaware of his presence.

The Daoist Ancestor’s duplicate surveyed Gao Ming and the others, then directly collided with Feng Chang’s body. When he opened his eyes again, a transient aura of detachment flashed across Feng Chang’s face, then disappeared.

After feeling the changes in the body, the Daoist Ancestor’s duplicate stretched out his hand to open the personal panel in front of him. Looking at the data, he thought to himself, so this is how it is!

“Feng Chang, what’s the matter?” Gao Ming looked towards Feng Chang in surprise and asked.

“See who is missing.” Feng Chang turned his head to look at Gao Ming and naturally said, “Old Gao, I think we were wrong. Maybe Brother Du never thought about escaping Pan-Universe Entertainment on this Alien Battlefield, but intended to unite everything and quickly end this Alien Battlefield! Maybe that old Daoist Ancestor is using us! How about we try to contact Brother Du and ask for his opinion?”
