Chapter 733: Caught Up
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Qin Yun sat in meditation for an entire night.
The battle for the fiendish dominions would lead to lasting effects! This would be the first time the Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts would be battling the fiends after all the Heavenly Dao realm existences left the Three Realms. The outcome of this first battle would determine the situation of the Three Realms for an extended period of time, affecting all the lives in the Three Realms.
“Victory is the only acceptable outcome for this battle,” thought Qin Yun.
At daybreak, when the Supreme Yang star once again appeared across the horizon, Qin Yun left Mt. Lightning Roar and headed for Green Touring Palace.
…
In Green Touring Palace, all the mighty figures had already long gathered.
Qin Yun appeared high above the hall.
“Greetings, Sect Master.” All the mighty figures bowed with Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain standing right in front.
“Junior Sister Blackfoal Mountain,” said Qin Yun solemnly. “In this battle against the fiendish dominions, we needed to be careful that the fiends do not counterattack the Heavenly realm! The heavy responsibility of guarding the key areas shall be left to you.”
“More than half of Green Touring Palace’s mighty figures are at my disposal. I’m confident enough if it just involves guarding the numerous key areas,” she said with a smile. “Instead, Senior Brother Sect Master, you should be careful. The fiendish dominion is enveloped by the Fiendish Heavenly Dao. There, the fiends enjoy an absolute advantage. They have long set up defensive arrays. Besides, the Fiendish Heavenly Dao will be repressive against all of you, making it impossible to use the Heaven and Earth powers, so you will only be able to use a portion of your strength.”
“Yeah.” Qin Yun nodded slightly. “Junior Sister Blackfoal Mountain, just wait to hear our good news.”
Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain nodded slightly.
Qin Yun still relied greatly on Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain. After all, she was the only other perfected Great Dao in Green Touring Palace.
“Let’s set off.” Qin Yun immediately gave the order.
…
In the cosmos.
Experts from the three Daoist lineages, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts gathered and even the dragons’ Ancestral Dragon appeared. Of course, he came alone.
“Haha, back then, Sword Immortal Qin suppressed the fiends by his strength alone. However, Fiend Ancestor’s obstruction made it impossible for Sword Immortal Qin to attack the fiendish dominions,” said Maitreya with a chuckle. “Now with all of us gathered, I believe our flattening of the fiendish dominions shall be easy.”
By the side, Guan Yin, Kong Xuan, Emperor Polestar, Queen Mother, Yang Jian, Queen Mother, and Ancestral Dragon all laughed. The two hundred plus mighty figures behind them were filled with confidence.
The amount of perfected Great Dao experts participating in this battle was only a partial number.
For instance, the humans’ Three Sovereigns, Medicine Buddha, Burning Lamp, Myriad Treasure, Primordial Unity, Goddess Houtu, Guangchengzi, Old Mother of Blackfoal Mountain, and the rest were responsible for staying behind to defend. After all, the various factions occupied many territories in the Three Realms. They had to be careful in case the fiends counterattacked these territories while they were attacking the fiends!
Of course, the strongest—the two half-step Heavenly Dao realms—Sword Immortal Qin and Ancestral Dragon were participating as well.
“We still have to be careful,” said Qin Yun. “If cornered, the fiends might retaliate at the expense of their lives.”
“Everything shall go according to the plans. There will definitely not be any accidents,” said Queen Mother with a smile.
“Alright.”
Qin Yun nodded and said. “Then let’s set off!”
Although the Daoists were considered to be split into three lineages, the Grand Supreme lineage did not have any perfected Great Dao disciples. The Jade Void lineage only had Yang Jian who had only recently broken through, so he was still quite a distance from the few half-step Heavenly Dao realm existences. Therefore, Qin Yun was temporarily made leader of the three Daoists lineages. The Buddhists were naturally led by the present Buddhist Ancestor, Maitreya. On the Heavenly Courts side, Queen Mother led the forces, but she greatly respected Emperor Polestar as well.
“Whoosh.”
The mighty army set off towards the fiendish dominion.
Their first target was the fiend dominion’s Wind Encasement Great World.
******
At the moment Qin Yun led the army to battle against the fiendish dominions, in the distant Chaos, another harrowing battle was undergoing.
“Black Lotus, you won’t escape!” the white-haired Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor shouted. A gigantic Taiji symbol appeared in the surrounding Chaos as Yin and Yang intermeshed together in a bid to bind the blurry escaping figure.
“Grand Supreme, I’m unable to return to the Three Realms again. I won’t be a threat to it. Now that we have entered the Chaos, we should be focused on exploring this endless Chaos. Why is there a need to engage in fights? Speaking of which, we are all Heavenly Dao realm existences of the Three Realms. We should be supporting each other in this boundless Chaos. Not only are you not supporting me, you are even pursuing me. What’s the point?” the escaping figure voiced.
“You are filled with immense sin. You are responsible for more than half of the sins in the Three Realms! You wish for this to be written off just because you left the Three Realms? Dream on!” Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor’s voice sounded in Fiend Ancestor’s head.
Both of them were extremely powerful and all it took was an instant for a voice transmission.
At that moment, Black Lotus was feeling anxious as well.
The Lotus Seed of Fate he obtained from Zhurong had been specially groomed to be a fourth avatar adept at escaping and hiding.
However, in terms of escaping through space, this avatar was only better than the few Heavenly Dao realm experts, but not Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor!
As the initial escape allowed him to go a great distance, he maintained quite a stable distance a few days ago, but today, he was about to be caught up.
“In just a few days, Grand Supreme Elderly Lord has chased up to me. If he is able to hold me back, the other two members of the Three Pure Ones, as well as Gautama, Nüwa, and Amita will arrive,” Fiend Ancestor burned his Essence Soul Dharmic powers and shot out of the Taiji symbol’s influence as he continued traversing space-time.
Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor similarly transversed space-time in pursuit. “You won’t escape.”
Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor was even faster when it came to transversing space-time.
Even though Fiend Ancestor used a Dharmic formulation to split his aura to confuse him, it was only for a moment. Soon, Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor quickly chased up to him.
Both sides constantly threw attacks at each other.
Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor mainly used divine power Dharma spells in a bid to stop him for a moment.
However, every time Fiend Ancestor was about to be caught up to, he would immediately burn his Essence Soul Dharmic powers to flee desperately. Meanwhile, he would cast all sorts of mystic arts to obstruct Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor.
“Pew.” Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor, Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, Goddess Nüwa, Gautama, and Amita were slow as they tried their best to chase up.
“Black Lotus is already being pestered by Elderly Lord. He won’t escape,” said Numinous Treasure with a laugh.
“But Elderly Lord isn’t able to stop him either. He’s able to escape each and every time,” said Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.
Nüwa said, “Every time Black Lotus escapes Elderly Lord, it’s because he notices danger, so he burns his Essence Soul Dharmic powers in desperation. If he continues burning… in less than half a month, his Essence Soul will be drained to its limit.”
“From the looks of it, we are finally going to be rid of the greatest fiend of the Three Realms,” said Gautama with a smile.
“Let’s let him struggle a little while longer,” Numinous Treasure said with a sneer.
…
In the Three Realms.
Fiendish dominion, Wind Encasement Great World.
This was the first Great World Qin Yun and company had chosen to attack.
“Whoosh.”
Qin Yun and company traversed space-time and arrived obstreperously above the Wind Encasement Great World.
“Oh?” Qin Yun swept the area and said in exclamation, “This Wind Encasement Great World doesn’t even have a fiendish mighty figure!? The number of Skyfiends are pathetically small.”
“Have they given up this Wind Encasement Great World?” Yang Jian said in puzzlement.
“There’s no way they would abandon the ten fiendish Great Worlds, right?” Queen Mother said.
“Perhaps they think it’s meaningless to defend, so they decided on abandoning it?” said Kong Xuan with a smile.
By the side, Emperor Polestar closed his eyes and began carefully inferring.
The others around him looked at him before he opened his eyes and frowned. “There’s indeed no danger in the Wind Encasement Great World, but I can infer that there’s massive danger in the fiendish dominion.”
“From the looks of it, the fiends have not decided on completely abandoning these territories,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “It’s just that without sufficient strength, they have abandoned a few of the great worlds. We shall take back whichever Great Worlds they abandoned! Let’s first take back the Wind Encasement Great World completely.”
“Then, shall we set up the first World Transformation Array in the Wind Encasement Great World?” asked Maitreya.
“Let’s begin.” Qin Yun nodded.
Queen Mother nodded to a bunch of mighty figures behind her.
With the Third Prince, Nezha, leading twelve mighty figures, they immediately set up the array. They were in charge of the first World Transformation Array.
To snatch back a Great World, one had to completely convert the Fiendish Heavenly Dao which was enveloping that Great World to that of the Three Realms Heavenly Dao! The transformation of Small Worlds was relatively simple, but the transformation of Great Worlds was more troublesome.
The Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts were more than prepared. All the array formations had been prepared ahead of time, so all that was needed to be done was set them up.
In just ten minutes—
“Boom!”
Nezha and the twelve mighty figures—three pinnacle mighty figures, nine ordinary mighty figures—controlled the array formation together.
A gigantic spatial vortex appeared in the sky as it connected to the Three Realms Heavenly Dao. As the Three Realms Heavenly Dao slowly seeped in, with the might of the array formation, it began to corrode and transform the surroundings. The Wind Encasement Great World was originally covered in fiendish auras, but forgiving and fresh Heaven and Earth spiritual energies began to enter through the spatial vortex and spread everywhere.
The fiendish aura receded as the Heaven and Earth spiritual energies expanded.
The entire world was gradually changing.
“Let’s head to the next Great World,” said Ancestral Dragon when he saw this.
