Chapter 536: Successive Advancements
A hundred years passed.
In the blink of an eye.
As news came from the Taiyi Sacred Land, Gu Qingfeng began secretly consolidating the forces of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, all in preparation for the upcoming battle.
The Chaos Holy Land must be eradicated.
Gu Qingfeng always felt uneasy in his heart.
After all, the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty and the Chaos Holy Land have already torn faces, reaching a point of no return.
Under such circumstances.
If a Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable were to emerge from the Chaos Holy Land, Gu Qingfeng had no assurance of dealing with them.
This was entirely normal.
If it was just an ordinary Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable, with his full capabilities unleashed, Gu Qingfeng had little fear; at most, he would be somewhat apprehensive.
But the problem is.
The Chaos Holy Land possesses a Half-step Immortal Artifact.
Such an artifact.
If it falls into the hands of a Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable, the power it exerts would be terrifying.
In such a case.
Gu Qingfeng naturally had no confidence in overcoming them.
As for resolving grievances with the Chaos Holy Land, that was an impossibility.
Even if the Three Great Heavenly Venerables were not dead, there was actually no room for compromise between the two forces.
Unless.
The Chaos Holy Land no longer covets the opportunity that he possesses.
But in truth.
Faced with such an opportunity, how could the Chaos Holy Land turn a blind eye?
Especially once the Chaos Holy Master successfully breaks through, the other party might act against the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty at the first opportunity.
For power often serves as the unbridled confidence of a cultivator.
If both sides were evenly matched, it would be fine, but if one side believes it can crush the other, then war is inevitably unavoidable.
Moreover——
Gu Qingfeng must also use this battle to make the world understand that the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty cannot be easily manipulated.
As the news of the Chaos Holy Land spreads widely, numerous forces in the Endless Immortal Domain have already turned their attention to the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.
The suspected immortal foundations are bound to entice other forces.
After all.
Gu Qingfeng ascended to the Immortal Domain only a few million years ago.
To reach this stage in such a short period, it's unbelievable to suggest he has no opportunities.
If there were no opportunities, merely relying on talent, even the most defiant talent couldn't possibly break through to the Seven Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerate Realm in such a brief time.
As far as Gu Qingfeng knew, among the recorded strong cultivators in the Endless Immortal Domain, those who broke through to the Seven Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerate Realm fastest took a solid twelve hundred million years.
The reason for their swift breakthrough was not only their heaven-defying aptitude but also because they were the reincarnation of an ancient immortal, re-cultivating, and in the endless cycles of reincarnation, they regained some past memories.
If not.
It would be very hard for them to reach this point.
Now.
The immortal reincarnate has already returned to the Immortal Realm.
Their name is.
Ziwei Great Heavenly Venerable.
Their past life was immortal, and in this life, they have re-ascended to the Immortal Realm.
It is due to this existence that the Ziwei Immortal Court can become a supreme force in the Endless Immortal Domain, ranking among the seventy-two Immortal Courts.
Regarding this Ziwei Great Heavenly Venerable, Gu Qingfeng had some understanding.
"Ultimately, it's because I broke through too fast!"
With this thought.
Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but shake his head.
But there's no choice.
With Evil Gods rampant in the Endless Immortal Domain, he couldn't deliberately suppress his own realm. If he did, he might have perished at the hands of the Blood Shadow Divine Country.
However, to break through, he couldn't hide the aura of the Longevity Divine Tribulation.
So.
This involved a decision-making problem.
Is it better to repress one's Cultivation Realm, reducing some unnecessary troubles, or break through boldly, enhancing one's strength?
Between these two choices.
Gu Qingfeng leaned towards the latter.
Even if you deliberately hide yourself initially, there will ultimately be a day of exposure.
At that time.
If trouble truly arrives, and one cannot resolve it, that's not something Gu Qingfeng wishes to see.
Rather than tip-toeing around, it's better to enhance strength directly.
As long as one's strength is potent enough, naturally no trouble will dare to come knocking.
...
Several days later.
The army set out.
This time.
Gu Qingfeng personally led the expedition.
Three hundred thousand Immortal Domains!
Five hundred Heavenly Venerates!
Directly advancing towards the Chaos Holy Land.
At the same time.
Various Immortal Domains also received the news, and at the first opportunity, armies were dispatched towards territories under the Chaos Holy Land's jurisdiction.
And when the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty took action, numerous forces led by the Taiyi Sacred Land seemed to act in concert, striking almost simultaneously.
If.
Initially, various forces and the Chaos Holy Land had merely experienced some friction, although the war affected various frontline Immortal Domains, it was not overly severe.
Now.
The war had fully erupted.
Without any warning!
In a situation where other forces and the Chaos Holy Land were caught entirely off guard, this war had already erupted dramatically.
At that moment.
Armies encroached.
Tens of thousands of Immortal Domains were ignited by the flames of war.
Despite the Chaos Holy Land's deep foundations and the frictions over the years causing an increase in troops in those frontline Immortal Domains.
Even so.
With all the forces taking action, the Chaos Holy Land was defeated almost at the first encounter.
Within a mere month, tens of thousands of Immortal Domains fell.
With astonishing momentum, the armies advanced, and by the time the message reached the hands of the Three Great Emperor Lords, the Immortal Domains under the Chaos Holy Land had already fallen two to three thousand.
"Damn!"
