1115: Isn't this even more terrifying?

“That’s good then.”

“The Dragon Kingdom Heavenly Army is invincible on the front lines, and if we make a mistake in intercepting them from behind, we will have no face to meet our countless clansmen in the future.”

Hearing the assurances of the Grand Elders from the Holy Lands, Qing Yunzi nodded and said seriously, “If any of you feel uncertain about the interception line you are responsible for, you can tell me directly. My Xuantian Holy Land can spare some strength to support you.”

The Xuantian Holy Land and the Pure Yang Holy Land were responsible for the interception line in the Eastern Region. Relying on the natural barrier of the Canglan River, the pressure on the Xuantian Holy Land and Pure Yang Holy Land to set up the interception line was minimal, so they had ample reserves.

However, upon hearing his words, the Grand Elders of the other Holy Lands merely expressed their gratitude and did not ask for assistance.

They all belonged to the ranks of Holy Lands, with no inherent superiority or inferiority. Now that Wang Chen had become a Grand Elder of the Xuantian Holy Land, it subtly elevated the Xuantian Holy Land. If they couldn't even manage their interception lines and needed to ask the Xuantian Holy Land for help, wouldn't that further demonstrate their inferiority?

“Alright, since no one has any problems, then disperse and return to oversee your respective matters.”

Seeing this, Qing Yunzi understood but did not expose the little schemes in these old fellows’ minds.

“Very well, then we shall take our leave.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, then transformed into streaks of rainbow light and flew away.

After they had all left, only Qing Yunzi and Ling Xiaozi, the Grand Elder of the Pure Yang Holy Land, remained.

“It seems the next battle will decide everything. Our Human Race will no longer have the Dead Spirit threat. Qing Yunzi, after this hidden danger is eliminated, what are your plans?”

With no one else around, Ling Xiaozi, who had been very silent before, suddenly spoke.

“Plans?”

“I will likely completely lay down Holy Land affairs, borrow a path through the Dragon Kingdom, and go to experience the vast Myriad Heavens Battlefield, seeking the path to Breakthrough to the Tenth Realm.”

Qing Yunzi was silent for a moment, then spoke with a hint of longing on his face.

Without the danger of the Dead Spirits, Breakthrough to the Tenth Realm was now his only obsession.

“I never thought that in my lifetime, I would truly have the chance to let go of everything and single-mindedly pursue the upward path.”

Gazing into the distance, Qing Yunzi’s heart was filled with emotion.

That old rival who had contended with him for hundreds of years would probably soon be swept into the dust.

...

...

Dead Spirit Holy City.

While Qing Yunzi was contemplating, the Dead Spirit Great Priest High Priest Tiemoluo was engulfed in an indescribable terror.

The three Seniors awakened from their frozen slumber in the Sacred Mountain, Takernimo, Du'ermosi, and Amu'site, who were the strongest forces in the Dead Spirit Race apart from him and the Mother God...

All dead!

They didn't even cross the Canglan River and died at the hands of Wang Chen of the Human Race!

Their death was so fast that he didn't even have a chance to go and support them.

“The Netherworld can’t produce Tenth Realm cultivators anymore, can it?!”

“Wang Chen, what’s going on with him?”

High Priest Tiemoluo spoke hoarsely, his body subtly trembling.

He had to admit that after Takernimo, Du'ermosi, and Amu'site were successively defeated by Wang Chen, that terrifying power made him feel a long-lost fear.

“He hasn’t Broken Through to the Tenth Realm!”

At this moment, Dominara’s figure suddenly appeared beside High Priest Tiemoluo. Her clear voice was gone, replaced by a grave seriousness.

“To Breakthrough to the Tenth Realm, one must resonate with the World Origin and seize and integrate a portion of the World Origin’s authority.”

“The World Origin of the Netherworld has not changed at all. Wang Chen is not a Tenth Realm cultivator; he is only in the Ninth Realm, but possesses combat power comparable to the Tenth Realm!”

Dominara said solemnly.

This...

Isn't this even more terrifying?

High Priest Tiemoluo’s eyes widened, and he felt even worse!

“I sense that Wang Chen’s Qi is lingering outside the Holy City. He’s probably planning to intercept our reinforcements sent to various gathering places.”

“Do you need me to act now and kill him?”

At this moment, seeing High Priest Tiemoluo still looking stunned, Dominara suddenly asked.

“No... How confident are you?”

High Priest Tiemoluo subconsciously wanted to refuse, but as soon as he spoke, he changed his mind.

Dominara had indeed not recovered to her Peak, and rash action would have a significant impact. However, Wang Chen’s current threat was too great.

If he wasn’t eliminated in advance, the situation later could become irreversible.

“Heh heh!”

“Are you that lacking in confidence in me?”

Dominara chuckled, a little displeased with High Priest Tiemoluo’s question.

“Although my injuries have not fully recovered and my combat power has not reached its Peak, I am still a true Tenth Realm Controller.”

“Dealing with a mere Wang Chen, I naturally have complete confidence.”

“However, after killing him, my injuries will definitely worsen, and I might even fall from the Peak of the Early Stage Controller Realm to the very beginning of the Early Stage.”

“Whether to act or not is up to you.”

Looking at High Priest Tiemoluo, Dominara shrugged and said.

“This...”

High Priest Tiemoluo’s face showed hesitation upon hearing this.

There was a considerable difference in strength between the Peak of the Early Stage Controller and the Early Stage Controller, and if Dominara’s injuries worsened, she would inevitably be unable to act for a period of time.

Should they pay such a heavy price to kill Wang Chen?

High Priest Tiemoluo was extremely conflicted and hesitant.

“Kill him!”

After a moment, High Priest Tiemoluo gritted his teeth and made up his mind:

“He’s currently relying on his formidable strength to block our gates. All the reinforcements we send out to the gathering places will be intercepted by him. Once those four strange armies arrive at the Holy City, the situation will become even more unfavorable for us.”

“Paying the price to kill him will undoubtedly deter that army and the Human Race of the Netherworld, and our current predicament can also be changed.”

As he spoke, cold light flickered in High Priest Tiemoluo’s eyes, and his killing intent was so dense it almost materialized.

“Then I shall act.”

“Speaking of which, now that I have a body, I haven’t yet tasted what Human Race flesh and blood are like.”

Dominara’s face showed excitement, and her crimson tongue licked her lips. Paired with her delicate features, it exuded a cruel allure.

She was already somewhat impatient to taste fresh Human Race flesh and blood.

However...

High Priest Tiemoluo shook his head at this moment.

“No, you cannot go out alone. This might make Wang Chen perceive danger and escape.”

“Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll arrange a team to go support the front line, and you’ll blend in with them, waiting for Wang Chen to come and intercept them, like hunting a rabbit by a tree stump.”

“Hahaha, I believe that when he discovers you are among the support team, Wang Chen’s expression will surely be very interesting!”

High Priest Tiemoluo said coldly, cold glints constantly flickering in his eyes.

Since they were going to act, they had to be fully prepared. High Priest Tiemoluo, having already decided to pay the price, did not mind using the lives of some of his clansmen as bait.
