Chapter 86: The Movement of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty
The situation on the Black Sea Immortal Continent was becoming increasingly tense. Although most of the forces had already withdrawn, the ancestors of the Immortal Shadow Emperor Sect arrived with a massive army of thousands from the Heavenly Wolf Tribe. Thousands of Immortal Emperors appeared in the area, yet Long Wei, Mo Ji, and Chang Tong showed no signs of fear.
Shen Lang, who had just restored his severed arm, fixed his cold gaze on the three before him, his expression unwavering. He spoke calmly, "Let's retreat... we've already lost too much. If we continue fighting, it will be pointless, and there are others waiting in the shadows to take advantage of the situation."
No one dared to oppose Shen Lang's command. Everyone knew that Shen Lang's decisions were always correct. Once the order was given, the void opened once more, and Shen Lang, Sa Ying, and the others departed immediately.
The three—Long Wei, Mo Ji, and Chang Tong—stood momentarily confused before Long Wei finally spoke, "That wolf... he's terrifying, and also very clever."
Chang Tong laughed and replied, "I think it's because your plan was too obvious."
Mo Ji, deep in thought, said coldly, "Shut up. What do we do next?"
In the void, Shen Lang's voice remained calm as he remarked, "Those three old men are truly dangerous, especially that Bone Dragon... what a terrifying power. And they still have many hidden forces." Sa Ying turned to glance at Shen Lang but said nothing, allowing him to continue his thoughts silently.
While chaos continued to reign in the Black Sea, the borders between the Flame Immortal Continent and the Continent of Light had not yet escalated into full-scale war. Both sides were cautiously probing the strength of the opposing forces before any direct confrontation.
In one of the military camps, some soldiers from the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty began exhibiting strange symptoms. Blood was inexplicably seeping from their bodies. Jiang Tian, the first ancestor of the Jiang family and the 9th Heavenly General, observed the soldiers and stated, "It seems we've been poisoned."
He turned to issue an order, "Bring all the poisoned soldiers to me."
The 7th Heavenly General asked in concern, "What do you plan to do with them?"
Jiang Tian, showing no emotion, replied, "I will kill them, then add a more potent poison and secretly send their bodies to the enemy camp."
This statement immediately heightened the tension. The five Heavenly Generals standing nearby unleashed their killing intent toward Jiang Tian, but he remained calm and unfazed.
The 7th Heavenly General, speaking with a stern tone, declared, "Our soldiers will not be subjected to such treatment. They have honor and dignity, just like anyone else. Next time, think carefully before you speak, or it will be your last."
Jiang Tian stared at the general with a cold gaze and softly responded, "I was simply offering one option. Honor won't save our lives in a war like this."
However, Jiang Tian's words seemed to fall on deaf ears as the other Heavenly Generals stood by, unmoved. Meanwhile, in the Wind Immortal Continent, hundreds of thousands of airships were advancing rapidly with full military strength. The primary commander of this operation was Lin Jia, the 2nd Heavenly General and the elder of the Lin Immortal Emperor family.
As they neared their target, Lin Jia immediately ordered a halt. "Stop!" His voice rang out loudly and clearly.
Amid the tense silence, Lin Jia stood on an airship floating in the sky and spoke with a commanding tone, "Tian Lin, Wu Ren, Gu Feng... since I know you all personally, I advise you to surrender. Otherwise, the fate of those who are defeated will not be a pleasant one."
Wu Ren, ranked 13th on the Golden List, leader of the Demonic Sword Immortal Emperor Sect, now under the authority of the Sacred Sword Immortal Emperor Sect, listened with indifference. He glanced at Lin Jia before drawing his massive sword and unleashing a colossal wave of energy toward Lin Jia's fleet. The power surged across the sky, its brightness signaling that the battle had begun.
Lin Jia's voice echoed, "I thought peace was an option after all."
As the immense sword wave approached, Lin Jia effortlessly blocked the attack and rushed toward the enemy's front lines in an instant. Suddenly, both sides clashed with full force. The sound of weapons colliding echoed throughout the Wind Immortal Continent. The inevitable war had begun, and it was fierce.
Meanwhile, on the Eternal Immortal Continent, millions of airships soared through the sky like scattered stars. Suddenly, a powerful energy wave attacked the fleet of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty, but the damage was minimal, with only a few airships destroyed.
From the void, Xue Ting emerged alongside Wen Jie and several other Immortal Emperors. Standing in the middle of the sky, she spoke with resolute determination, "I don't want to fight you, so retreat now."
Feng Yi stepped out from her airship, accompanied by four Heavenly Generals, and responded with an equally calm voice, "I can't retreat. I can only move forward."
In an instant, a sharp blade of energy shot towards Feng Yi, but she remained unshaken. The four Heavenly Generals leaped in to block the attack. Both sides clashed fiercely, and waves of energy struck the airships of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty, causing several to crash to the ground with deafening explosions. Soldiers from the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty surged out of the falling airships, and the battle intensified. Soon, the ground was stained with the blood of countless fallen warriors.
On the Star Immortal Continent, the once-mighty and fearsome Sacred Star Emperor Domain had crumbled into ruins. Corpses and remnants of the destruction littered the ground. Explosions echoed across the continent once more—BOOM! BOOM!—as a hundred-headed dragon rampaged, mercilessly slaughtering everything in its path, growling with disdain, "Those who wish to surrender, seal your cultivation, and I will spare your lives."
Most of the remaining survivors, hopeless and desperate, began to follow the dragon's command, quietly sealing their powers in hopes of staying alive. However, one woman refused to surrender. She was Xing Yue, ranked 7th on the Golden List and leader of the Sacred Star Emperor Domain. Her body was covered in wounds—burns, parts of her body turned to stone, and her skin riddled with holes from countless attacks. Despite her weakened state, she stood firm, unwilling to give up.
Xing Yue's gaze fell upon a man, and her heart broke. That man was none other than Xing Chen, her former disciple—the one she once trusted and had high hopes for. Due to certain events in the past, Xing Chen had betrayed his junior disciples, leading to his punishment by the Sacred Star Emperor Domain. Afterward, Xing Chen became increasingly violent and was ultimately stripped of his cultivation and exiled. Later, he joined the Fallen Heaven Blood Sect. Xing Chen's past bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Yun's, but their fates diverged drastically.
Xing Yue clenched her teeth as she watched the slaughter around her. The cries of despair and anguish filled the air, and the sight of the massacre weighed heavily on her heart. Finally, she made her decision. With great difficulty, she raised her hand and spoke, her voice full of pain, "The Sacred Star Emperor Domain... surrenders."
Ming Hai, the Lord of the Water Peak of the Fallen Heaven Blood Sect, sneered and replied coldly, "Too bad... it's too late." He raised his finger towards Xing Yue's head, a tiny droplet of water, seemingly insignificant yet brimming with immense power, ready to end her life in an instant.
But before Ming Hai could strike, his eyes widened as he received an internal message. His thoughts paused, and he sighed softly before lowering his hand. His tone shifted as he said, "It seems... you're fortunate enough to live another day."
Xing Yue gasped for breath. She didn't know what command had spared her life, but she didn't care. She collapsed to the ground, hoping merely to survive, despite the humiliation. She longed to speak to Xing Chen one last time before losing consciousness.
On the Cloud Immortal Continent, fourteen elder protectors of the Fallen Heaven Blood Sect stood calmly, accompanied by countless Immortal Emperors, peak lords, and their subordinate forces. They faced the army led by the 1st Heavenly General, who commanded the Eternal Phoenix Army, with a force of 10 million soldiers. Each soldier was no less than a half-step Immortal Emperor. Alongside them stood Feng Yang, the former Emperor of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty, once known as the strongest before being replaced by Feng Yi.
At the Fallen Heaven Blood Sect, in a pitch-black room, Jiang Yun stood in silence. He murmured something softly, and then the Samsara Clone vanished into the void. Jiang Yun smiled faintly before warping to the border of the Cloud Immortal Continent with swift speed.
At the military camp of the Phoenix Emperor Dynasty, Yong Xuan was casually chatting with Feng Yang in a relaxed atmosphere. Suddenly, a terrifying aura enveloped the surrounding area. Both of them sensed the unusual power, and Yong Xuan whispered, "It's here." The two nodded silently to each other before flying out of the camp to meet Jiang Yun.
When they arrived outside the camp, they didn't see Jiang Yun as expected. But shortly after, Jiang Yun emerged from the void. His gaze was calm yet menacing at the same time. He spoke in a flat tone but with an underlying authority, "I don't see Feng Yi... Where has she gone?"
Feng Yang smiled slightly before replying, "She has some important matters to attend to."
Jiang Yun gave a small smile and continued, "Is that so? Then why have you sent forces to encroach upon my territory?"
Feng Yang maintained his smile as he answered simply, "Just defending ourselves, nothing more."
Jiang Yun smiled as though he understood, but there was a slyness in his voice. "If I were to guess... she's probably divided her forces into four parts and sent half to attack other immortal continents, starting with those that pose the greatest threat due to their rapid development. Like the Eternal Immortal Continent, where the Xue Clan holds sway, and the Wind Immortal Continent, home to the Sacred Immortal Sword Emperor Sect."
Jiang Yun continued, "These two forces have grown so quickly that she now feels threatened and needs to eliminate or control them. I suppose she's not too concerned with the other continents that—even if they attacked the Flame Immortal Continent—wouldn't pose much of a threat. For example, the Star Immortal Continent, the Black Sea Immortal Continent, and the Demon Immortal Continent. And right now, some of these continents are already in chaos."
Jiang Yun smiled again and said, "This gives her the perfect opportunity to strike at the two larger threats, the Wind Immortal Continent and the Eternal Immortal Continent. Afterward, she would likely deploy forces to defend the borders connected to other continents, like the Cloud Immortal Continent and the Continent of Light... waiting for the moment after securing those two to gather her strength and destroy the other continents in sequence. For example, the Star Immortal Continent—no, the Sacred Immortal Star Emperor Domain—has probably already surrendered to you. After that, she would move on to the Continent of Light, followed by the Demon Immortal Continent, then the Black Sea Immortal Continent. And finally... she'd amass her full force to attack my Cloud Immortal Continent, right?"
Feng Yang and Yong Xuan were still smiling outwardly, but internally, both of them were slightly unsettled. Jiang Yun's words sparked doubt in their minds... Did they have a spy within their own ranks? Or had Jiang Yun correctly guessed their entire plan?
Feng Yang spoke up, "Aren't you overthinking this? We also cherish peace."
He continued in a friendly tone, "Shall we have some tea first?"
Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed towards Feng Yang at great speed, handing him a letter. When Feng Yang opened it, his body froze in shock. Panic spread across his face as he passed the letter to Yong Xuan. Both of them turned to look at Jiang Yun, who was still smiling.
Seeing their reactions, Jiang Yun spoke in a cold tone, "So I was right, wasn't I?"
As Feng Yang and Yong Xuan conversed in a low voice, Jiang Yun suddenly attacked them both. At the same time, the fourteen Elder Protectors swiftly moved, creating a formation with remarkable speed.
