Chapter 456 - 427: Defending as Offense
The armies of the Righteous and Demon Dao in the Taiyuan Realm made a move, and the Cyan Yang Divine Court was the first to receive the news.
After all, even though the Cyan Yang Divine Court had withdrawn entirely to the Cyan Yang Realm previously, quite a few people were still lurking in the Taiyuan Realm. With such a massive commotion from the Righteous and Demon Dao, how could they not know about it?
"Brothers, those bastards in the Taiyuan Realm have started the war!"
"I saw it, damn, so many strong ones, looks like the Righteous and Demon Dao are going all out."
"The sword emerges from Pure Yang, damn... I’m right near the Pure Yang Sect, almost got blinded by the sword light of the Pure Yang Sword Immortal!"
"Blinded as well..."
"The Yin Yang Demon Sect’s Yuan Shendao is also incredible, tsk tsk, his demonic aura is overwhelming, like a peerless demon, this battle will probably be tough!"
"Afraid my ass, our Cyan Yang Divine Court has two Great Emperors, who would we fear when it really starts?"
"Well, it’s hard to say..."
The information in the Divine Kingdom’s chat group refreshed at an astounding speed, and the discussions were primarily centered around the Taiyuan Realm.
The army set off.
Now, they were marching mightily towards the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
At this moment.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court officially responded immediately.
"In this battle, we have only two choices: the first is to enter the Taiyuan Realm and confront them head-on, and the second is to retreat to the Cyan Yang Realm, using the Northern Continent as the battlefield.
If it’s the former, there’s nothing much to say, just mobilize all forces for a battle. For the latter, we need to arrange for the cultivators of the Northern Continent to evacuate.
After all, if it becomes a battlefield, there would hardly be any living beings left!"
In the Eastern Continent’s Imperial City, Ji Xuan looked at the people present and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this.
Everyone also began to express their opinions.
Some believed a full-scale attack was best, while others thought the Northern Continent should be the battlefield.
Ultimately.
The latter option received the majority support.
Yang Yan said, "Starting a war in the Northern Continent may have significant issues, but this is our home ground; we can have enough time to set up many contingencies.
The Taiyuan Realm is coming fiercely this time, clearly aiming for a decisive battle. Although we now have two Great Emperors, they broke through not long ago, and it’s uncertain if they can contend with Lv Chunyang and Yuan Shendao.
Moreover, when it comes to core strength, the Taiyuan Realm is extremely formidable.
To minimize casualties, we can only defend as an offense!"
"If that’s the case, then first arrange for all ordinary cultivators of the Northern Continent to evacuate; let that be the battlefield."
Ji Xuan nodded.
With cultivation prevalent and the resurgence of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, even ordinary people now have some cultivation, merely varying in strength; those truly powerless mortals no longer exist.
So.
With the official orders, the evacuation of the Northern Continent people was swift.
Subsequently.
Ji Xuan looked towards the Research Department head below and said indifferently, "Over the years, the Divine Court has invested quite a bit in technological research; let the Research Department give them a greeting in this battle, and I hope the Research Department won’t let us down."
"Rest assured, Elder Ji, the Research Department will not disappoint!"
A middle-aged man stood up, his expression extremely excited.
Since cultivation became prevalent, technology gradually fell, merely reduced to a tool for daily convenience, with the high-end combat power always being cultivators.
Over these years.
The Research Department has been secretly accumulating strength, waiting for an opportunity to amaze the world with its brilliance.
Now.
This opportunity has come.
The Research Minister certainly wouldn’t miss it.
After all, the Research Department’s performance in this battle would largely decide its future.
If the Research Department’s performance is outstanding, the funds for future development would undoubtedly increase greatly, but if it’s unsatisfactory, it might truly fall into decline.
The other elders saw this and slightly flickered their gazes, remaining silent.
Times change.
Eras transition.
The once world-dominating technological force has already fallen into obscurity; for Ji Xuan and some elders who have been supporting the Research Department’s development, other elders were quite skeptical.
Now the opportunity is right in front; if the Research Department acts poorly, they would immediately cut most of its funds. Such funds, redirected elsewhere, could cultivate numerous powerful cultivators.
"The Research Department leads the charge in this battle, but given the strong number of Taiyuan Realm’s forces, it’s naturally impossible for the Research Department to completely annihilate the entire Taiyuan Realm army.
So, after gathering the army, once the Research Department makes some achievements, we can directly act to leave the Taiyuan Realm army here.
However, the Immortal King Sacred Land and the Human Emperor Sacred Land must be contacted; this involves the survival of the Divine Court, and surely they won’t refuse."
Finally, Ji Xuan added another sentence.
Immortal King Sacred Land.
Human Emperor Sacred Land.
These are the only two forces with Great Emperors now.
Gu Fang and others nodded.
As orders were issued, the entire Cyan Yang Divine Court was shaken.
In less than half a day.
All ordinary cultivators of the Northern Continent were evacuated; the vast Northern Continent was completely cleared, becoming the forthcoming battlefield.
At the same time.
The Research Department also took synchronized action, setting ambushes in ancient cities and mountain ranges, also taking out all the weapons developed over the years.
"Everyone, stay alert; this time, we must establish the reputation of our Research Department. If you disgrace the name of the Research Department, get ready to lose your jobs!"
The Research Minister’s face was cold, shouting sternly.
Completely different from when in a high-level meeting.
All subordinates under the Research Department lowered their heads in haste, with many having a fiery gleam in their eyes.
...
On the other side.
The Taiyuan Realm’s army marched mightily, now arriving at the entrance to the Cyan Yang Realm.
The combined forces of the Righteous and Demon Dao wielded much higher power than before; this time, two Mahayana Stage powerful figures led, naturally incomparable to before.
Innately Void Refining Stage and Tribulation Stage powerhouses came flying, looking at the bronze gate; everyone kept a very composed expression.
Among the following numerous cultivator armies, many faces were excited, their hearts filled with surging battle intent.
Just at this moment.
The void shattered.
A majestic force, akin to divine might, broke the space, suddenly revealing a towering figure emitting a boundless Sword Intent, spreading terrifying pressure, making experts from all sects appear solemn.
Pure Yang Sword Immortal!
Lv Chunyang!
This is the current pinnacle powerhouse of the Taiyuan Realm.
Lv Chunyang had just arrived, and following closely, a torrential demonic aura heralded the arrival of another formidable powerhouse.
This powerhouse was no other than the Mahayana Stage expert of the Yin Yang Demon Sect, Yuan Shendao.
"Brother Yuan has arrived!"
Lv Chunyang nodded, and the latter slightly nodded back, then gazed at the bronze gate.
"Since everyone is here; let’s not waste time, let’s end the Cyan Yang Divine Court first!"
