680: Chapter 680 Declaration of Intent to Conquer, Military Campaign Against the Holy Land

Six months later, the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty!

One day later, Nian Haocang announced to the world, issuing a proclamation of war to the public.

“Nian Haocang Campaigns Against Cangtian Holy Land on Behalf of Heaven”

Nian Haocang campaigning against Cangtian Holy Land on behalf of Heaven? The proclamation detailed the blood feud between the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty and the Cangtian Holy Land; the entire text was blood-boiling.

Starting from the Gantian Holy Capital, the commoners began to seethe with excitement. The Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty was attacking the Cangtian Holy Land? The news stirred up a massive wave of shock.

Having quelled the surrounding turmoil, Da Gan's military might was at its peak.

Its blade was pointed directly at the Cangtian Holy Land!

The Cangtian Holy Land was one of the three great Holy Lands. Its momentum had been surging in recent years, vaguely threatening to overshadow the other two.

It was incomparably prosperous and extremely powerful!

The Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty and the Cangtian Holy Land were going to war?

From the meaning expressed in the proclamation, it was a fight to the death between the two!

A clash between a Heavenly Dynasty and a Holy Land was a rare event in history. Previous turmoils in the Central State hadn't caused much of a stir, but now, the proclamation had been announced to the world.

How could two different cultivation systems harbor such deep-seated hatred?

The announcement spread in all directions at a terrifying speed.

At the same time, a shocking event occurred in the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty: a similar proclamation was issued.

“Emperor Gu Xuan Campaigns Against Cangtian Holy Land on Behalf of Heaven”

Another proclamation. Massive waves rose within the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty. Did Daxuan also have a feud with the Cangtian Holy Land? Were they going to fight?

Announced to the world, their blade was also pointed at the Cangtian Holy Land.

Before the people of the world could figure things out, two proclamations filled with endless killing intent had appeared.

Two? No, there were three.

“Jiang Chonghuan Campaigns Against Cangtian Holy Land on Behalf of Heaven”

The third proclamation appeared very strangely. It was issued from five imperial dynasties across the world, and it was extremely resolute.

Jiang Chonghuan? To think he was so terrifying. Have the five imperial dynasties submitted to him?

The result was three proclamations from three Heavenly Dynasties, representing the three strongest individuals, declaring war on the Cangtian Holy Land.

Grand and majestic, the news spread across the continent at an incredible speed, radiating in all directions.

The Arhats of the Cangtian Holy Land who were outside rushed back to the Holy Land with the proclamations to report to the Buddhas. This news had pierced the heavens.

Within the Cangtian Holy Land, the three great Buddhas remained silent as a group of Arhats and Bodhisattvas stood before them.

“Nian Haocang? Gu Xuan? Jiang Chonghuan?” Guiyuan Buddha asked in surprise.

“The Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty, the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, and the Great Jiang Heavenly Dynasty,” Guiyuan Buddha said in a heavy voice.

“They... have finally made their move!” Jinchan Buddha frowned.

“Pass down the order. Notify all Arhats and Bodhisattvas of the Cangtian Holy Land who are away, as well as our allied sects and dynasties, to gather outside the Cangtian Holy Land to resist the great enemy!”

Guiyuan Buddha said coldly.

“Yes!” the Arhats and Bodhisattvas immediately responded. The situation was about to spiral out of control.

As the three Heavenly Dynasties besieged the Cangtian Holy Land, messages were sent out, and all subordinate forces began to converge on the Holy Land.

Cangtian Sect!

In a grand hall, a burly man sat in the main seat. He was the Sect Master of the Cangtian Sect, and he was also shocked upon receiving the news.

“They come with ill intent!” the Cangtian Sect Master said with a solemn expression.

“Father, have the three Heavenly Dynasties gone mad?” Cang Chengjun said in disbelief.

As the Saint of the Cangtian Holy Land, how could he not know how terrifying the Holy Land was? It held too many hidden experts.

“Chengjun, I'm afraid it will be difficult this time. If the Cangtian Holy Land cannot withstand them, you must be prepared!” the Cangtian Sect Master warned.

“Hmm?” Cang Chengjun instantly understood; he needed to leave himself a way out.

In the Northern Region of Central State, Hun Tiandi arrived in person, bringing a group of experts from the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty.

“Wudi, muster the troops. We set out tomorrow!” Hun Tiandi ordered.

“Yes!” General Ye Wudi took the order and quickly organized the army.

“We march against the Cangtian Holy Land!” Hun Tiandi spoke again.

Roar...

The army's roars shook the heavens as they prepared for battle.

“Your Majesty, why announce it to the world? Won't the Cangtian Holy Land prepare themselves?” Liu Ling asked, puzzled.

Hun Tiandi scanned the crowd; they all looked confused.

“Two reasons. First, to reverse the heavenly secrets and have a righteous cause. The Cangtian Holy Land accumulates Karma, while a Heavenly Dynasty accumulates Luck. A war between different systems is often a thankless task. Only by reversing the heavenly secrets and defeating the Cangtian Holy Land will the world bestow immeasurable Luck!”

“Second, the Emperor of Da Gan did it intentionally. He wants them to prepare and recall everyone. The goal is not just to destroy the Cangtian Holy Land, but to exterminate every single one of them!”

Hun Tiandi said indifferently.

“Exterminate them all?” Everyone was shocked. Such deep hatred.

Hun Tiandi led the army as the vanguard, heading south, preparing to strike from the north.

The main force was Nian Haocang of the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty, pushing forward directly. His speed was not fast as he sat upon the Nine Dragon Heavenly Chair, slowly moving eastward.

The sky was gloomy and oppressive.

This was the Domain controlled by Nian Haocang; it was a war of the entire nation.

Below the dragon chair, across the mountains and fields, countless troops were attacking. The Crown Prince of Da Gan also accompanied them.

Gui Di accompanied them, along with countless experts from the Bear Clan, following the army's advance.

The Emperor's wrath would annihilate the Cangtian Holy Land.

Irresistible!

The Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty had raised its troops, and the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty had also made its move. Countless Void Ancient Dragons soared as a massive army set out toward the Cangtian Holy Land.

Emperor Gu Xuan sat upon the Nine Dragon Heavenly Chair, looking down upon the world.

His speed was not fast, but he gathered a great momentum accompanied by lightning, adding a hint of pressure.

As for the Great Jiang Heavenly Dynasty, their leader sat in a chariot pulled by Three-legged Crows, moving toward the Cangtian Holy Land. The sky was gloomy as they controlled their Domain.

The Central State was shaken. Three armies had set out, and no power stood in their way; some imperial dynasties even automatically made way for them.

Everyone could see that this war between the Heavenly Dynasties and the Holy Land involved a great deal, and no one wanted to be caught in the crossfire.

At the same time, countless experts arrived, waiting outside the Heavenly Dynasties to see if they could gain any benefits.

Hun Tiandi was not with the three Heavenly Dynasties. As long as they reached the south, they would be safe.

“Your Majesty, with this kind of forced march, the soldiers might not be able to take it,” General Ye Wudi said worriedly.

“No, we are not out of danger yet...” Hun Tiandi said in a heavy voice.

“Does someone actually dare to make a move?” General Ye Wudi asked, puzzled.

“They're already here!” Hun Tiandi said helplessly as they appeared before his eyes in the blink of an eye.

Six people stood before the army. Leading them was the Old Woman Bodhisattva, with a faint halo of Karma above her head. Beside her was the youth Cang Chengjun, and four Arhats stood behind them.

Two Dou Zun and four Dou Zong. Had they come specifically to intercept and kill him?

“Your Majesty...” General Ye Wudi said in shock. How could his prediction be so accurate?

How was this possible? The Cangtian Holy Land was under siege, so why were people still coming out to surround and kill them?

“There is still some time before the main forces of the three Heavenly Dynasties arrive. Naturally, we must eliminate some of their fresh forces!” Yun Xiao said indifferently.

“Old Woman Bodhisattva? Cang Chengjun?” Hun Tiandi spoke coldly.

It really was a case of “speak of the devil.”

The Old Woman Bodhisattva released her Soul Power, weaving a Soul Illusion that enveloped Hun Tiandi.

Buzz!

Hun Tiandi stood there with his hands behind his back, while Yun Xiao and General Ye Wudi stood guard around him.

Within the Soul Illusion, countless malevolent ghosts walked upon the earth. The ground was red and incredibly terrifying.

“Hun Tiandi, your end has come. The Buddha has ordered us to stifle some of the fresh forces. I have come for you!” the Old Woman Bodhisattva said coldly, as if she already had Hun Tiandi in her grasp.

“And you?”

“Hun Tiandi, you stole my woman and snatched away the Buddha's realization. I, the Saint, have come to kill you!”

Cang Chengjun said arrogantly, still brooding over his defeat to Hun Tiandi.

He was extremely angry.

After entering the Cangtian Holy Land, he learned that the Old Woman Bodhisattva intended to kill Hun Tiandi, and Cang Chengjun completely forgot his father's warning.

He had followed the Old Woman Bodhisattva here. Previously, Hun Tiandi had defeated him and Nian Kun with the nether demonic zither, and he was still unconvinced.

He believed that Hun Tiandi's true strength was only that of a Nine-Star Dou Zong.

If the demonic zither wasn't used, Cang Chengjun was confident he could kill Hun Tiandi, especially with the Old Woman Bodhisattva's assistance.

Hun Tiandi, however, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If the Old Woman Bodhisattva had used her cultivation base to kill him, it would have been somewhat difficult. But she chose to attack with Soul Power?

For others, Soul attacks were impossible to guard against and caused the most damage.

As long as one's Soul power was destroyed, that person would truly perish, with no chance of resurrection.

Soul annihilated, Physical Body withered!

But what about Hun Tiandi? The Old Woman Bodhisattva had calculated everything except for the fact that Hun Tiandi had cultivated a Soul Dou Technique: the Soul Weapon Art.

The most terrifying aspect of the Soul Weapon Art was its extreme offensive power, capable of slaying the Soul.

“Old hag, I've never seen anyone so stupid. You're hideous and truly disgusting!” Hun Tiandi started insulting her directly, showing no mercy.

“What did you say?” the Old Woman Bodhisattva asked angrily.

“A dignified Bodhisattva of a Holy Land, yet you have no shame. You're an old disgrace. I bet those four Arhats behind you are your lovers!”

“And the world-renowned Holy Son of Cangtian, you really have a strong stomach. You can actually stomach such a disgusting old woman!”

“An old cow eating tender grass, a youth pursuing an older woman!”

“I think you guys are truly starving; you'll eat anything!”

Hun Tiandi berated them with extreme venom.
