Chapter 1336: Chapter 582: Heavy Loss for the Heavenly Court! Asking the Tao Ancestor Again? (2)
"Daqin Elite Soldiers!"
Wang Ben’s face was flushed with excitement, as he raised his weapon high with his right hand, shouting with all his might: "All enemies of the Heavenly Court are defeated! Qin has won!"
At this moment.
Wang Ben’s voice echoed high and resonant in the skies above the battlefield: "From now on, the Heavenly Court stronghold shall cease to exist, and this place will become Qin’s checkpoint."
"The path of Qin’s westward expansion is now unobstructed!"
Just at this moment of declaring victory.
"Wind, wind, wind."
"Strong wind."
...
The roar of the wind was earth-shattering, like rolling thunder, an endless wave of sound sweeping through the entire heavenly vault, shaking the heavens and earth.
Countless black-armored Daqin Elite Soldiers stood aloft, their black armor glimmering coldly under the sunlight, emitting an intimidating killing intent, a glory bestowed by victory.
This battle!
Though the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Heavenly Court matched Daqin Elite Soldiers in numbers, they were utterly unable to counter Daqin’s sharp blades, being overwhelmed in combat.
Though there were casualties in Qin’s army, the Heavenly Court was completely annihilated.
Moreover, Qin possessed the Heavenly Soldier Rebirth Pool, consuming Qin’s heavenly fortune, allowing war-dead soldiers to be resurrected in the pool.
Though resurrection meant a drop in cultivation by at least one great realm, the physical body was reformed, and the primordial spirit unharmed, an undoubted rebirth for Daqin Elite Soldiers.
Originally, Daqin Elite Soldiers feared neither life nor death; now they are even more fearless.
"Qin Court has won."
"Under equal forces, Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were utterly suppressed by the Qin Army; those skilled warriors were no match."
"Qin Court’s army is stronger, and now with no Heavenly Court obstruction, the westward path is unimpeded."
"In the future, I’m afraid it will be a turbulent time."
"May the tribulation qi further erode Qin Court, ensnaring them deep in the tribulation; otherwise, it won’t be favorable for us."
"Qin Monk has entered the Nan Zhanbu Continent. Once he is away from the stronghold, seize him and consume him; then I can instantly achieve the Quasi-Saint realm; this opportunity must not be missed."
"The Heavenly Court... now its majesty is shattered, and its strength greatly diminished."
"The future of the Heavenly Court seems to have lost its chance to become the master of heaven and earth..."
Watching Qin successfully annihilate the Heavenly Court’s stronghold of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, various factions observing in the shadows were deeply shaken, their apprehension towards Qin intensifying.
No matter which faction, more or less, all harbored concern for the future situation and awe for Qin’s strength.
At this moment!
Inside the Heavenly Court. Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, most of the Heavenly Court had turned into a vast expanse of water.
The waters of the Heavenly River surged violently, overturning everything in its path.
The murky river waters constantly battered the surrounding structures; numerous corpses floated on the water surface. Even immortals, falling into the waters of the Heavenly River, faced inevitable demise.
In the Palace of the Polestar, the Jade Emperor sat on the throne, his face ominously dark, with a sense of devouring presence.
At this moment.
Everything within the Haotian Mirror was revealed; the stronghold’s Heavenly Soldiers were completely annihilated, all dispatched strong persons wiped out.
He knew, for this battle, the Heavenly Court was utterly defeated.
Confronted with such despair, he was powerless to reverse Qiankun.
Inside the grand hall, immortals and gods all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe; the hall was deathly silent, none dared make a sound.
The current situation was beyond the control of the Heavenly Court’s immortals and gods.
"All of you, at this stage."
The Jade Emperor scanned the immortals and gods in the hall with a frigid gaze, his voice carrying anger and unwillingness: "Do you intend to watch Qin Court’s westward advance?"
To this question.
Most immortals and gods remained head down, choosing silence.
However, some stood.
"Your Majesty."
Wen Zhong stepped forward with a solemn expression, bowed, and gravely said: "In terms of Quasi-Saint strong persons, Qin Court cannot compare to our Heavenly Court."
"But currently, the Heavenly Dao rules restrict Quasi-Saint strong persons from descending, while Qin Court possesses numerous Daluo strong people."
"Even if our Heavenly Court deploys numerous Heavenly Soldiers and Generals below, it’s difficult to contend with Qin Court."
Wen Zhong’s brow furrowed, his eyes full of worry: "For now, I hope Your Majesty considers carefully."
"Your Majesty."
Fire Virtue Star Lord stepped forward immediately, bowed, and said: "I concur. With current circumstances, unless Heavenly Dao rules change, our Heavenly Court cannot deal with Qin Court."
"Perhaps after the great calamity, when Heavenly Dao rules shift, then would be the time to dispatch troops against Qin Court."
With the persuasion of the two key gods of the Heavenly Court.
Many immortals and gods were stirred.
"I concur."
"Your Majesty, please handle this prudently."
"Now is not the right time to deal with Qin Court..."
Immortals and gods spoke one after another, earnestly advising the Jade Emperor.
At this time, confronting Qin Court would undoubtedly lead to more Heavenly Soldiers and Generals dying in vain, with no benefit.
Listening to the ministers’ advice, the Jade Emperor’s face grew even darker, gritting his teeth in silence. He knew that consulting these ministers was futile, incapable of changing the situation.
Within the Heavenly Emperor Palace, where Hao Tian’s true self resided.
Hao Tian was filled with anger; an unspeakable oppression pervaded the entire hall.
"Qin Court, truly detestable!"
"How dare they!"
Hao Tian said through clenched teeth, his fists clenched tightly, anger ablaze in his eyes.
"Husband."
Turquoise Pool stood beside him, gently calming him, her voice soft yet laden with concern: "Let Qin Court enjoy their moment for now."
"Husband, you are gravely wounded. Right now, you can only endure. Furthermore, Qin Court’s power is vast; the Buddhist Sect surely won’t sit idly."
"Qin Court’s westward spread of teachings; the Buddhist Sect should be most anxious. Our Heavenly Court has blocked Qin Court for years. Next, it’s time for the Buddhist Sect to step up."
In response.
"No!" Hao Tian suddenly stopped, his face cold, with a decisive gaze: "I cannot sit and wait any longer."
"What do you plan, husband?" Turquoise Pool asked urgently, her eyes filled with concern.
"I must go to Chaos, to seek the Tao Ancestor."
Hao Tian’s expression was solemn, his voice firm as if this was his last hope, also the Heavenly Court’s last hope.
"If the Tao Ancestor intervenes, Qin Court will be of no consequence."
"Moreover, if the Tao Ancestor assists, he can surely heal my wounds. Once my strength is restored, I’ll have greater assurance to confront Qin Court." Hao Tian said gravely.
Turquoise Pool, upon hearing this, showed disappointment, shook her head gently: "Since the Saint disappeared, so did Purple Cloud Palace." Husband, you’ve searched many times, all fruitless; I’m afraid it will be the same now."
"When the Heavenly Dao rules were altered, forbidding Quasi-Saints to descend, I knew the Tao Ancestor would return; Purple Cloud Palace will surely reappear." Hao Tian’s gaze was determined, his tone indubitable: "No matter what, I have to try."
"Turquoise Pool, to balance Qin Court now, we must rely on the Tao Ancestor; otherwise, there’s no other way."
"And the Supreme; he might have sided with Qin Court, he might not be the Supreme but Taiqing."
"If I continue to sit idly, I’m afraid in the future, the Heavenly Court will truly be replaced by Qin Court." Hao Tian’s face was urgent, his expression full of anxiety.
"In Chaos, danger abounds; I will accompany you." Seeing Hao Tian’s determination, Turquoise Pool finally consented, her eyes also firm and resolute with Hao Tian.
Hao Tian, upon hearing her, felt a wave of emotion, gripping Turquoise Pool’s hand tightly, moved saying: "Turquoise Pool, without you by my side, I truly wouldn’t know what to do."
"Don’t worry, as long as I find the Tao Ancestor, he will surely uphold justice for us and support the Heavenly Court."
At this moment, hope flickered in Hao Tian’s heart, just like when the Sealing God Battle commenced, he placed his hopes on Tao Ancestor Hong Jun.
In olden days!
Saints all looked down on him; he sought help from the Tao Ancestor, thus enabling the Sealing God Battle.
Now, as Qin Court presses forward step by step, the majesty of the Heavenly Court crumbles, its power greatly weakened, he’s forced to again place his hope on the Tao Ancestor.
