Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

However, the personnel we can retreat with are almost gathered in Weaving Phoenix City. If we continue to confront them, I'm afraid the Netherworld will discover our weaknesses." The Nine Chimeras Demon Lord said coldly, his tone indifferent.

No one expected Zhao Jingheng to be the first to nod in agreement: "What the Demon Lord said is very true. We should seize the initiative before the opposite side initiates; our chances of victory might be higher."

"Yan Donor, I've heard that before your ancestor's Ascension, he left behind a Flame Emperor's Breaking Formation Drum, which can boost morale among our troops and diminish the enemy's fighting spirit. This artifact is perfect for the decisive battle. I wonder if your Nanyan Family brought it this time?" Among the present Nascent Soul Ancestors, a monk in a Buddhist robe suddenly smiled and spoke.

"Haha, the intelligence of the Sacred Heart Temple is indeed sharp. This war concerns the survival of the Human Clan in this realm, so my Nanyan Family will not be stingy. Naturally, we have brought the Flame Emperor's Breaking Formation Drum." An elder in a crimson robe smiled faintly and replied.

"Very good, our sect is willing to summon the ancestral spirit coffins of past masters, and once the battle begins, with the combined attack of thirty-odd Nascent Soul Sword Immortals from our Sky Splitting Sword Dao, it's enough to sweep through the hundred thousand Ghost God Cultivators. But I wonder whether the sects here will adhere to their promises and bring their foundations to bear before battle, as this victory might decide the future of the Human Clan in this realm." The Sky Splitting Sword Dao Sect Master raised his eyebrows, looking sharply at the other sect ancestors.

"Sect Master Zuo need not worry, our Lingyun Academy has already invited thirty ancestor Confucian scholars, and by the time of the great battle, we will definitely not let you all down." The Confucian-robed middle-aged man from Lingyun Academy smiled upon hearing this, his tone firm.

"Haha, you need not worry about the Corpse Demon Army of our Beast Taming Sect; while it may not completely sweep the battlefield, it certainly won't be a drag on you all." The Hundred Beasts Lineage Master of the Beast Taming Sect said confidently.

"Our Sacred Heart Temple has dispatched eighteen Golden Body Arhats..."

"...The remains of our sect's True Monarch from previous eras have been transported to Flying Immortal City six months ago..."

Immediately, the Nascent Soul Ancestors present began revealing the trumps of their sects.

At this moment, the foundations of the top forces were clearly displayed, with each having summoned over a dozen Nascent Soul ancestor spirit coffins.

These pseudo-dead Nascent Souls, who retain their final fighting power and awaken to fight for the survival of the Human Clan in this realm, will surely fight with boundless resolve and die without regret!

"It seems our preparations are quite comprehensive. Now we just wait for the 'East Wind' to rise." Once everyone present had expressed their positions, the Heavenly Termination Immortal, who had been sitting with closed eyes, slowly opened her eyes and said calmly.

"Indeed, the 'East Wind' will decide this battle's success or failure. It can't go wrong; given that the battle is imminent, it's best to confirm once again." The Nine Chimeras Demon Lord nodded solemnly.

The twenty-four Nascent Soul Ancestors in the hall were all serious, but none knew what the 'East Wind' referred to by the two True Monarchs was, nor did anyone dare to ask.

No, someone actually dared to ask.

At this moment, an elder in a richly patterned crimson robe suddenly flashed his eyes and curiously asked: "Dare I ask True Monarch, what does the 'East Wind' refer to?"

The Nine Chimeras Demon Lord snorted coldly and said icily: "Don't ask what you shouldn't! What should be known will naturally be revealed to you."

"Yes, yes, forgive me True Monarch. I spoke out of turn and now realize my mistake." The elder in the crimson robe hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"You all must clearly understand, if the battle is lost, not just our sect's ancestral practices but even our legacy may be utterly lost. At this moment, any opportunistic or deliberately concealing forces will have no good end." The Nine Chimeras Demon Lord scanned the attendees, his voice cold and merciless.

The twenty-four Nascent Soul Ancestors present felt a chill at these words, nodding in agreement.

While the group of Divinity Transformation Nascent Souls secretly discussed in Weaving Phoenix City, on a mountain peak several hundred miles away, two silhouetted figures stood faintly visible.

These two figures emitted no aura or form, clearly possessing highly advanced concealment Divine Skills.

The two silhouettes, one fat and one thin, included a chubby white-faced man, who mocked while gazing far into Weaving Phoenix City.

"The people of Tianzhu Realm are always so naive! Do they really think we can't detect their secret retreating?"

The other thin tall elder smirked strangely: "Haha, let them remain hopeful until death! If it weren't for the Asking Dao Sect, Heavenly Balance Sect, and other Rebellious Sects causing trouble from the rear, we would have conquered this damned Tianzhu Realm long ago."

"Not good..."

Just then, the white-faced man's expression changed drastically, unleashing his robust cultivation power, revealing himself as a Nascent Soul Great Priest.

He slapped his big belly, and with a puff, a pair of three or four zhang long Profound Black Golden Wings sprouted from his back, flapped vigorously. His form blurred and flew out beyond a hundred zhang, desperately fleeing towards the horizon.

"Huh?!"

A soft 'huh' echoed in the air, seemingly lightly surprised.

The white-faced man managed to evade, but the thin tall elder didn't react in time, his body seized by a suddenly emerging azure-black giant hand.

The giant hand gripped fiercely, and this man couldn't even scream before his flesh shattered into bloody pulp, unable to escape with his Nascent Soul.

Seeing this horrid scene behind him with Divine Thought, the white-faced man was utterly terrified, expelling a mouthful of essence blood. A blood mist enveloped him.

The blast of blood exploded into more than a dozen identical blood-colored tunneling lights, speeding in all directions.

At this moment, a hundred-zhang tall demon shadow vaguely faded into view in the sky.

After an indistinct cold laugh, azure-black giant hands appeared from nowhere, grabbing at the scattering tunneling lights.

In an instant, all escaping blood-colored tunneling lights were caught by the azure-black giant hands and firmly held.

Thump, thump!

A series of agonized cries sounded, and the dozen blood lights vanished, leaving only the furthest fleeing bloody plump figure.

Bound in shadowy black chains.

Behind him, a Three-eyed Giant phantom slowly emerged in mid-air, resembling the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord's features, and greatly similar to the Ghost Chi Clan's Great Chi Jian.

In the City Lord Mansion hall of Weaving Phoenix City, Nascent Soul Ancestors still discussed the front-line war situation when the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord suddenly smiled coldly.

Beside him, the Heavenly Termination Immortal sensed something amiss, releasing Divine Thought, and her eyes chilled as she perceived happenings hundreds of miles away.

"Hmph, they've dared to come to our doorstep, yet still remain unaware. How utterly useless!" The Heavenly Termination Immortal frowned and suddenly chided.

The words caused the Nascent Soul Ancestors present to change their expressions slightly and glance over.

The Nine Chimeras Demon Lord smirked coldly, waved his hand, and vast black light appeared, spreading into a light screen.

The light screen flowed, displaying scenes from hundreds of miles away.

At this sight, the hall fell into deathly silence.

All Nascent Soul Ancestors were mute, realizing their location had been compromised.

"Jiu Chi True Monarch, Heavenly Extinction True Monarch!... It seems the time remaining for us is scarce." Zhao Jingheng spoke with difficulty after watching.

"Since the secret of Yunhuang Mountain has been exposed, we must remain vigilant for any surprise assault by the Ghost God Army from now on." Mo Baijue, Deputy Sect Master of the Immortal Device Sect, spoke gravely.

Other Nascent Soul Ancestors looked around and exchanged glances.

Then, the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord said solemnly: "You all must immediately alert Flying Immortal City! I will take the prisoner and head to the main base. Heavenly Termination Taoist, the rest is left to your guardianship."

Heavenly Termination Immortal appeared very confident, saying faintly: "With my presence, there's nothing to worry about here!"

"Good, I shall go then!"

Before the words had quite finished, the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord's figure erupted like a bubble, suddenly disappearing from everyone's sensing amidst this presence.
