Reincarnated into World of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

As everyone was overjoyed by the profundities of their Awakening, Long Chen focused on his own inner self. Long Chen found that the Sphere of Starry Sky Chart revealing a strange aura. As Long Chen glimpsed within a small part of memory flooded with in his mind.

The memory was of the few hours of time he was within in the State of Enlightment. Within the memory fragment Long Chen found a one of himself standing within the Starry Sky Chart while revealing an intense energy essence.

That clone of his felt like a being who was completely different than him because the clone was emitting intense Murderous Intent as well as a kind of Nine Star Will far stronger than what he could emanate.

Shockingly, it was transferring it's energy forged by with essence of Nine Star Will within the Core Rune, i.e. The Jiuli Rune along with the Dragon-Phoenix Runes.

And so following it there was Long Chen's lingering Will consisting of his own comprehended Nine Star Will, Murderous Intent, Saber Intent, Martial Intent, Starry Sky Will, Will of Heavenly Punishment and Will of Split The Heavens Technique.

All the Wills and Intents of comprehension were scattered in imbalancement but as soon as the Clone's energy got transferred within the batch of unmatched energies, all the Wills and Intents were merged. With Long Chen's Nine Star Will as the core and the foreign Nine Star Will as a medium to interconnect all the wills, Long Chen's Wills had similar yet distinct aura but we more combined and balanced making his very essence of prowess stronger. 

And so the Astral Space of his Fengfu and Alioth Stars grew largers. The number of star clusters in his Dantian increased with their energy concentration fluctuating as now all those star clusters were inter-connected to eachother while carrying the aura of Long Chen's newly modified Nine Star Will.

Having noticed such change Long Chen was shocked. As he woke up from the meditation and circulated his Astral Energy, he found his power refined and balanced compared to before. And even his strength had soared because not only did his power got refined, his cultivation directly brokethrough to 13th-Heaventhstage of Blood Condensation Realm and his Alioth Star underwent the 'Ninth Star Transformation' which is why his prowess is now comparable to Peak Xuantian Realm Expert such that just a single fist from him could break the barrier woven by Void and Time causing minor spatial cracks. This brought joy to Long Chen thought this also made him forget something very important and mysterious of a fact.

With all set he took some rest and tried to study the Jade Stone which obviously didn't give any reaction and even the book was not understandable for time being. After spending a few hours on the Book and Jade Stone, Long Chen decided to leave it for a bit in future till he was able to meet the Supreme Experts who will be guiding him and headed for the party.

The party was simple; some wine, delicious food and gossips among peers and friends. People were congratulating and praising eachother and everyone especially congratulated Sect Master for having a breakthrought from Initial Stage of Xuantian Realm to Initial Stage of Sea Forming Realm. At mid-night, when the party almost ended, Sect Master came in front of everyone as he floated at certain height in sky and said, "To everyone, I hope all of you to enjoy this time fully. I hope all of you will continue to advance in your journey and life."

After that, clearing his throat, he further continued, "I have a announcement to make. Next week marks for the War between the disciples of Righteous Faction and the Corrupt Path. We have lost many geniuses and brothers due to the scams and brutality of the Corrupt Path. So, I hope all of you survive this time round and crush the entire group of disciples of Corrupt Path in order for you to avenge those seniors and elders of yours who have spent their entire life battling and sacrificing themselves for the sake of us all and those innocent non-cultivators.

With Long Chen being the Commander of all disciples, I announce that we, the members 108th-Xuantian Monastery, are ready for crushing our opponents.

I wish you all, ALL THE BEST." 

Everyone paused for a bit but then, they all clapped their hands in awe as for applauding the words and decision in speech that Sect Leader had stated.

Till two days before the war, Long Chen and his comrades worked their ass-off. Guo Ran and his 17 other blacksmith friends created a total of 388 Enormous Crossbows called the 'Giant's Devil Slaying Crossbows'. While Eighteen were for the 18 blacksmiths each, the other 370 Crossbows were for 370 members of Healing Hall who numbered equivalent to a 1000 where half of those who were not to work in battlefield had to work in group to use one Crossbow each.

Not only that but also the Cold Weapons for everyone as well as excellent battle armors for everyone excluding Yue Zifeng and Long Chen as they didn't prefer such. They also constructed Full Body Armor with intricate and complex Runes only for the themselves.

Also Qing Yu and Lu Fang'er along with other members of the ones learning Thread and Cloth Intent tailored exceptional robes and internal clothes fitting properly with the armor pieces for everyone to provide comfortable feeling adapting to the environment.

As the preparations completed and so did the rest time end making that the day of Showdown between the Disciples of Righteous Faction and Corrupt Path finally has begun.

Long Chen and the entire Dragon Blood Legion were gathered atop a huge flying Magical Beast. Long Chen took out an animal hide page and pointed to a spot. "The Corrupt Path invaded us from here. Their invasion occurred eighteen hours ago, and at our current flying speed, it will take us around six hours to get there. The disciples of the Corrupt Path are incredibly bloodthirsty and will slaughter innocent commoners as part of their trial. Once we arrive, there won't be time to adjust ourselves. Every moment we wait, countless commoners are dying."

They all nodded. This attack had happened too suddenly, and they hadn't had any time to prepare. Originally, they should have been the ones to initiate the conflict, but their enemies had already taken the initiative.

"These idiots from the Corrupt Path, what are they thinking? Why are they so evil? Do they not care about the lives of others?" Li Qi demanded hatefully.

The others also didn't understand. Even the experts from the Corrupt Path had to have had mothers and fathers who raised them. How could they be so devoid of humanity?

Long Chen replied, "You don't understand their mindset. The people of the Corrupt Path have their own beliefs and convictions. Their belief is simple: survival of the fittest.

"They think that only the strong deserve to survive, and the weak are nothing more than stepping stones for the strong. The weak are just accessories, ornaments to make the strong stand out.

"So, the thing they value most is strength. To them, strength is everything. As long as they have power, they can unleash all their desires without limit, without regard for morality."

"How could there be such wicked people?" exclaimed Tang Wan-er. They were all human, yet their ideologies were so different.

Long Chen said lightly, "That's because you don't understand how powerful belief can be. A conviction in a belief means your entire mind and spirit are devoted to it.

"The people of the Corrupt Path firmly believe their actions are the most correct. They believe the laws of the Heavenly Daos dictate that the world follows the rule of survival of the fittest. They think our Righteous Path's actions—guarding and helping each other—are contrary to the Heavenly Daos' natural rules of elimination, so they believe we are disrespecting the heavens. Therefore, they view killing disciples of the Righteous Path as taking on the role of the heavens to punish us. They feel no guilt. To them, killing is sacred, and they are willing to commit acts we would consider crimes. Even in death, they believe the Heavenly Daos will bless and care for them because they fought for its rules. So true disciples of the Corrupt Path do not fear death."

Long Chen's words sent a chill through them. They had all heard that the disciples of the Corrupt Path were savage and cruel, and now they understood why.

"They really are madmen," one of the seniors muttered, shaking his head.

"And this is why you must show no mercy once the fighting begins," Long Chen warned solemnly. "Don't try to act with noble character, humanity, forgiveness, or hope of reforming them. That kind of foolishness will cost you dearly. Not only will you get yourself killed, but you'll also implicate those behind you, causing them to die alongside you. That's what it means to die with your eyes wide open, full of regret."

As almost every disciple except a few stood by with feeling of intense nervousness and an impending fear of being in position where they had to cut fellow humans, Long Chen standing in front of them as their Commander gave an assuring feeling of not being in wrong nor being in any fear though their heart had indeed been in feeling of turbulence.

Long Chen saw through their emotional fluctuations and said, "Fret not my dear ones. Almost all of you are my sworn brothers and sisters. So-" and he gets interrupted by Guo Ran who smirkingly says, "Well, who are the others Boss? Not that you can be talking about love and som-" and before Guo Ran could say any further, Long Chen threw a slipper doing a K.O. such that even when poked by a stick by Song Ming, Guo Ran didn't move a slight.

Rip Guo Ran... :( ...

"Ahem!", then getting back to topic Long Chen said, "So, to everyone who are here listen well...

My dear sworn brothers and sisters of the Dragon Blood Legion, today we stand together, united by a single purpose: to protect the innocent, to safeguard the weak, and to fulfill our sacred duty. The Corrupt Path has invaded, threatening not just our homes, but the very lives of those who cannot defend themselves. These monsters believe that the strong have the right to trample on the weak. They slaughter the innocent without remorse, feeding on the blood of commoners as if it is their birthright.

But we are the shield that stands between the helpless and the wicked. We are the sword that will strike down those who dare to violate the laws of the heavens. Do not be fooled by pity, by thoughts of mercy, or by the lies of redemption. These enemies are lost to darkness. They do not fear death, nor do they feel remorse. They believe their cruelty is sacred, their slaughter divine.

So when we face them on the battlefield, remember: every hesitation, every moment of doubt, means more innocent lives lost. Show no mercy. Let your strength be the beacon of justice. We do this not for glory, not for revenge, but because it is our duty, our filial responsibility as members of the Righteous Path. We fight for those who cannot fight, for the families and the future we protect.

Today, we act as the hands of the heavens. The blood of the corrupt will cleanse this world, and we will ensure that none who harm the innocent will walk away alive. Fight with all your might! For justice, for honor, for the Righteous Faction, for our dear ones!"

Everyone becomes over hyped in emotions; rage and blood boiling within them. Suddenly the Lifeless Guo Ran rejuvenates and yells, "I swept through the four seas, crossed a thousand mountains, caused huge billows in heaven and earth, slaughtered demons, eliminated devils, plucked the stars and moon. If you want a chivalrous hero, you can come find me! Guo Ran!" hearing which with Guo Ran's funny yet shameless Heroic Pose, everyone feels lot of shame and irritated to the point wanting to beat him to death.

After a bit, having been beating Guo Ran, they all rush to fight off against the Corrupt Path. With Long Chen leading they all head to the valleys where the nearest cities were in order to fight off against the Corrupt Path disciples and save the civilians before hand. Successfully they had arrived early. With Long Chen, Meng Qi and Lu Fang'er using their Spiritual Strength, in very less amount of time, they successfully evacuated the city and headed to next. 

They were in joy after having saved people of around three normal cities and some small villages in time but the joy ended soon upon arrival to their next destination. The city walls were breached, scent of blood and screams of civilians filling the entire area and crazy laugh of the Corrupt Path disciple. The scent of blood and wailing screams of mortals (civilians) caused blood to boil and Long Chen who was using his spiritual strength, having felt the situation early raged up, his blood boiling and so, he rushed to place and using his 'Heaven Shattering Steps' reached the center of the city and then he took a 'Soul Recovering Pill'. After that, he spread his spiritual strength throughout the city for marking all of the Corrupt Path disciples and then used Nirvana Scripture with raging mind he yelled loudly, 'Soul Refining Technique' and all the Corrupt Path disciples had their mind attracted to Long Chen till the next moment they all wriggled in ground crying in pain. As others of Dragon Blood Legion arrived they felt blood raging within having the entire surrounding and the devastating state of men, women and even... children. The entire Dragon Blood Legion looked at the Corrupt Path Disciples waling in pain with eyes of disgust and hatred and with Long Chen's command Song Ming sealed their body movement through Huiyin and Tianzhu acupoints sealing their Qi and causing intense paralysis.

After distributing food and supplies to the civilians, the entire Dragon Blood Legion leaded by Long Chen, currently filled with frenzy of rage, head to their next destination. As Long Chen bring everyone rushing' south, they suddenly see a huge city in the distance. Over a thousand Corrupt disciples be savagely charging' forward in front of the city gates. They were only a dozen miles from entering' the city gates.

"Crap, Corrupt disciples are about to enter the city!", Guo Ran said with worry and just as Long Chen,, Little Snow and Song Ming were about to rush faster, a cold and grave shout rang out, "Cloud breaking Arrow!" . Even though that voice wasn't loud, everyone for hundreds of miles 'round somehow hear it.

A golden arrow of light, from top the city gates by a hooded man with an ancient, multi-colored bow pop in his hands., shot over towards them Corrupt disciples 

At the beginning, the light-arrow was only the size of a regular arrow. But as it flew, it grew larger and its aura become incredibly terrifying and so much that, by the time the arrow was ten miles away from the Corrupt disciples, it had grown over thirty meters wide.

BOOM!

Terrifying energy exploded out in every direction. A huge ditch had been dug into the ground with bottom being almost unable to be seen.

Anyone hit by that light-arrow had all exploded. Blood filled the sky. Over half of the thousand Corrupt disciples had been killed by that single arrow.

As for the ones who had survived due to luck, they were shaken by just the aftershock of the arrow. They were vomiting blood as they tumbled through the air.

That one arrow's might shook heaven and earth. The most shocking thing about is was that it had possessed an overflowing will within it that instinctively led to subservience.

"How… how terrifying!", everyone among Dragon Blood Legion had been shocked and especially those from archery group as it was unbelievable up to what level this archery had reached.

His right hand lightly pull back the bowstring. A golden arrow appear on the bow but before he could release those arrows, Long Chen had already reached the place and used 'The Soul Refining Technique'.

That person put away his bow and suddenly turned to look at Long Chen. The instant their eyes met, he trembled slightly.

Long Chen was also staring into his eyes. He felt his blood flow faster the moment their gazes locked. A surge of battle intent rose within him, startling him. He quickly suppressed that feeling.

He had actually felt an urge to fight this terrifying figure. It was a strange and mysterious sensation.

Looking at the scene, that person was also affected by Long Chen. His cloak fluttered despite the absence of wind, and he quickly suppressed his own aura.

He pulled back his hood, revealing a handsome face. His gaze was piercing, and his sword-like eyebrows slanted upward. However, his slightly broader chin hinted that he wasn't yet fully grown.

His eyes were deep and profound, but within them lingered an indescribable emotion.

After revealing his face, he stood with his arms clasped behind his back, gazing at the sky at a tilt, his expression distant as he said:

"For ten years, I've wandered with my bow, my arrows shaking heaven and earth. The nine heavens, ten lands, and the entire universe revolve around me. Only I, Mo T, will rise to glory."

His voice was heavy and solemn, and the cadence with which he spoke made him seem like a true expert—an expert so powerful that it was almost sad. Coupled with his expression and the corpses strewn across the ground, he seemed like a lonely figure standing at the peak of the world.

That person then jumped off the city wall and began walking away. People were shocked to see that with each step he took, he crossed several miles.

He moved as if he were simply strolling, calm and at ease. In an instant, he was already fifty miles away, disappearing from sight.

After he vanished, the city gates slowly opened. A squad of soldiers emerged to assess the situation. They cheered when they saw the corpses littering the ground.

"How domineering. But he truly has the right to be domineering. He was absolutely terrifying," Gu Yang said, still staring in the direction where the man had disappeared. He was completely stunned. That one man, with just a bow, had managed to exterminate over a thousand Corrupt disciples. And so Long Chen and others having evacuated the city headed for the next one. As they rushed forward more corrupt path disciples were seen and many cities and villages that were either destroyed or were on-verge-of-destruction. Though in rage, Long Chen and his companions only captured the Corrupt Path disciples after having beaten the shit out of them but not killed in order for them to be tortured.
