152: Chapter 152: Millions of Martial Saint-level warriors versus millions of Martial Saint-level undead!

His words naturally carried the most weight.

The moment he spoke, everyone present fell silent.

"This Netherworld event is of great importance, and I hope there will be no internal strife or similar issues!

Our goals are only two: one, to do our best to slay those Netherworld creatures.

At the same time, we must find the location of that Netherworld Mage.

As soon as he is found, report it immediately, and Heavenly Sword Supreme and Heavenly Passage Supreme will personally move to slay him!"

The Tianjian Grand Elder said with a solemn expression.

As soon as he said this, the strong cultivators present all nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, I wish you all a safe return!"

The Tianjian Grand Elder cupped his hands slightly towards everyone.

Instantly, everyone also hurried to return the gesture.

The next moment, everyone returned to their respective flying boats and headed to the positions they had been assigned upon arrival!

Those Martial God-level powerhouses also dispersed throughout the Eternal Forest to search for powerful Netherworld creatures.

Many Martial Gods were dispatched this time.

A total of over two hundred!

The two great Sacred Grounds alone had seventy to eighty.

There were also quite a few Martial Emperor-level powerhouses, over thirty thousand of them!

Martial Saint-level cultivators were even more terrifying; all the major sects combined amounted to a fifth of the Martial Saints on the entire Tianjian Continent, which was a staggering two million.

Of course, Martial Saints and Martial Emperors were nothing to Ling Feng's Netherworld creatures!

After all, his seventh-tier Netherworld creatures had already reached a million in number during the few hours they had been gathering!

Eighth-tier had also reached seventeen thousand.

And all of them were terrifying existences with their strength enhanced by 40 times.

The main concern was still those Martial Gods.

However, unfortunately, although Martial Gods were powerful, their numbers were too small.

In such a vast Eternal Forest, the number of Netherworld creatures they slew was actually the lowest.

But even so, the number of Netherworld creatures in the entire Eternal Forest began to sharply decrease.

Almost every hour, one to two hundred thousand could be eliminated.

...

Within the Celestial Passage Sacred Ground, Heavenly Passage and Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor, who were checking the incoming intelligence in real-time, were both extremely satisfied.

"Hmm, not bad, very good. In just three hours, five hundred thousand Netherworld creatures have already been slain!

At this rate, the Netherworld creatures can all be eradicated in just another seven or eight hours!"

Heavenly Passage was exceptionally proud.

"It's a pity there's no news of that Netherworld Mage, otherwise, if he were killed, not so many people would have died!"

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor sighed.

These people were their foundation for resisting outsiders.

He was very clear about the outside world; in just a mere hundred thousand years, it had developed to a degree far surpassing the Tianjian Continent, which was already terrifying. If their Tianjian Continent were to suffer heavy losses again...

"It's fine. My son, Celestial Extremity, has the potential of a Supreme Being! He still has two more trait slots, and these past years I've been looking for good soul-strengthening traits, or bloodline traits.

As long as he obtains any one of them, when he becomes a Supreme Being in the future, he will easily be able to slay that old fellow Xuanwu!"

Heavenly Passage couldn't help but smile proudly.

This was the true value of the Soul Destroyer trait.

"That is excellent!"

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor was also extremely satisfied with Celestial Extremity's talent.

...

...

And as time passed, finally, after a total of seven hours, all the Netherworld creatures were completely cleared out.

However, this time, the strong cultivators of the entire Tianjian Continent also paid a huge price.

A large number of Martial Saint-level powerhouses perished in this Netherworld tide.

Fifty thousand seventh-tier Martial Saints died, and over seven thousand eighth-tier Martial Emperors also died.

Finally, after all the Netherworld creatures were cleared, everyone had already gathered in front of Hells Gate.

"We've slaughtered so many Netherworld creatures, yet that Netherworld Mage hasn't appeared!

Could it be that, as we imagined, the Netherworld Mage's strength is actually only that of an ordinary Martial God? So he doesn't dare to come out?"

Heavenly Passage Supreme frowned.

"Perhaps, but remember not to let your guard down! The strength of these Netherworld creatures is very formidable. If they were to make a comeback, we might not have the strength to endure several more encounters like this!"

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor said with a solemn expression.

These Netherworld creatures were not strong individually, but if they were allowed to increase their numbers, eliminating them would only rely on a sea of people to fill the void.

They had filled it once and consumed five hundred thousand Martial Saint-level powerhouses.

If it happened a few more times, all the Martial Saints on the entire Tianjian Continent might be completely wiped out!

"Hmm, I will dispatch several Martial Gods and a large number of Martial Emperors to guard here. Once those Netherworld creatures emerge again, they will be suppressed and slain with the force of thunder, absolutely not allowing them to spread!"

Heavenly Passage Supreme also nodded solemnly.

After this battle, he also saw the terror of these Netherworld creatures.

But fortunately, they were not without gains.

They obtained quite a few purple and silver divine edict stones.

Although these divine edict stones were not enough to compensate for the losses, there were still some gains after all.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, at this moment, the entire Hells Gate began to tremble.

The next moment, the spatial crack beneath it began to fluctuate, and the massive Hells Gate slowly sank into the earth under the bewildered gazes of all the strong cultivators on the Tianjian Continent.

Eventually, the spatial crack closed, and Hells Gate completely vanished.

But they could only watch this happen, completely unable to stop it, because they could not touch Hells Gate.

"That Netherworld Mage retreated?"

"Maybe. All the Netherworld creatures were killed, how could he possibly dare to come out!?"

"But, if he hides and makes a comeback, we might not be able to stop him."

...

At this moment, all the strong cultivators began to discuss amongst themselves.

And Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor and the others' expressions also turned grim.

They had not expected such a massive bronze ancient gate to be able to be withdrawn at any time.

Did that also mean that the opponent could open this great gate anywhere at any time?

If that were the case, how could they resist?

"Now it's troublesome!"

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor sighed faintly.

Heavenly Passage Supreme, beside him, also had a solemn gaze.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Heavenly Passage Supreme asked.

"I don't know, but at least for a short period, the opponent won't be able to come out. After all, it would take absolutely thousands of years to repair millions of Netherworld creatures!

Unless the information Xuantian Sect gave us was false!"

Heavenly Sword Old Ancestor sighed.

If it really was thousands of years later, then he would have already perished, and the affairs of the world would no longer have much to do with him.

"Since that's the case, I'll arrange for more strong cultivators to patrol the entire Tianjian Continent.

Once anything unusual is discovered, gather people as quickly as possible!"

Heavenly Passage Supreme was much more proactive.

After all, once his master died, he alone would be the ruler of the Tianjian Continent.

He naturally had to protect his own territory well.
