Chapter 1544 - 1534: Prelude to the Great Battle

Chapter 1544: Chapter 1534: Prelude to the Great Battle

Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall.

In a certain secret room, the Grand Elder and Second Elder sat facing each other, both with somber expressions.

Because next, they were about to do something that might cost them their lives.

"How many agreed?"

The Grand Elder asked.

"Nine!"

The Second Elder reported a number.

"Only this many?"

The Grand Elder frowned slightly.

"How about we awaken the Slaughter God Puppet?"

The Second Elder thought for a moment and asked cautiously.

Slaughter God Puppet!

The foundational weapon of Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall, a puppet with cultivation reaching half-step Order Realm, immortal, impervious to pain, as long as not completely destroyed, it could fight indefinitely.

In the entire Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall, only four people could awaken the Slaughter God Puppet, namely Slaughter World, Slaughter Head, and the two of them.

"No way!"

"Once the Slaughter God Puppet is awakened, it will definitely alarm the Hall Master!"

The Grand Elder shook his head and said solemnly.

The Second Elder no longer suggested.

What they were doing now, if discovered by the Hall Master, would likely cost them their heads; it must be carried out in secrecy.

...

Empire Realm.

After the departure of the Dark God Lord, the Clan Leader of the Imperial Blood Six Clans immediately summoned the strong, mobilized clan soldiers, and prepared to attack the Qin Dynasty.

In the Supreme Hall, over thirty figures stood, all Martial Artists of the Cause Realm.

Threads of terrifying aura spread out.

On average.

Each clan possessed five Cause Realm Martial Artists.

If the Imperial Blood Six Clans were separated, their singular strength was far inferior to the Azure Cloud Sect, and the underlying reason for this phenomenon was Imperial Blood.

Success due to Imperial Blood, defeat due to Imperial Blood!

The Imperial Blood Six Clans, relying on powerful bloodlines, had rapid cultivation in the early stages, but after breaking through the Three Knowledge Realm, further progress was difficult and required consuming massive resources.

This also led to the scarcity of top-level strong ones in the Imperial Blood Six Clans.

"In two months!"

"All major clan lineage elders, clan lords, clan soldiers, etc., mobilize and attack the Qin Dynasty!"

A dignified and cold voice emanated from an unknown time and space, echoing within the hall, falling into the ears of many strong ones, who collectively saluted before turning to leave.

Upon hearing news of the Dao Manuscript, the Imperial Blood Six Clans, claiming to be hidden clans, were no longer hidden.

...

Immortal Treasure World.

Within a magnificent hall.

The Grand Elder sat at the top, holding a piece of intelligence, after carefully reviewing it, his face became extremely unsightly.

On either side below him sat the upper echelon of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, about twenty people, exuding terrifying auras, transcending all laws, undyed by cause.

"Everyone, the Dark Holy Hall, Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall, and Imperial Blood Six Clans have banded together, preparing to attack the Qin Dynasty to seize the Dao Manuscript. Should we, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, support the Qin Dynasty?"

After reading the intelligence, the Grand Elder looked up and asked.

The voice was flat.

No emotion could be discerned.

But those present, all seasoned businesspeople, could definitely hear the underlying meaning.

If the Grand Elder wished to support the Qin Dynasty, he wouldn’t be asking for opinions but issuing commands.

Moreover, the Pavilion Master was also inclined to ally with the Qin Dynasty, so the Grand Elder issuing a command to strongly support the Qin Dynasty was completely in line with the Pavilion Master’s intent, even if the battle failed, he wouldn’t be blamed.

In such circumstances, the Grand Elder asking for opinions from everyone, was it to demonstrate democratic decision-making?

Certainly not!

The Grand Elder’s true intention was not to support the Qin Dynasty, but it was not appropriate to openly refuse, which would counter the Pavilion Master’s intent.

"I think we should wait and see for a while!"

"Indeed, involving supreme power, we must be cautious, and consider entering the fray after the situation becomes clear!"

"The Qin Dynasty is not weak, the Dark Holy Hall is no pushover either, why not wait for them to clash and both suffer, then we can reap the benefits as the fisherman?"

Having gauged the superior’s intent, several elders immediately spoke after a moment of thought.

The underlying meaning of their words was to not support the Qin Dynasty.

"It’s rare for everyone’s opinions to be unanimous, shall we then observe and observe?"

After seriously listening to the opinions, the Grand Elder said with a smile.

Though he was smiling.

Deep within, he was cold.

When did he begin disliking the Qin Dynasty?

It seemed to start when Mysterious Fate proposed to list the Qin Dynasty as a partner and wanted three percent interest.

The heart can indeed change.

After Li Mingzhe’s death, he became the sole decision-maker of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, enjoyed the benefits of power, and his originally simple heart quietly transformed.

He wanted to solely possess the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!

...

Two months later.

Qin Wudao, carrying the Nine Provinces Great Thousand Worlds, crossed through the groups of lower and intermediate universes, finally arriving at the far east of the Ancient Azure Universe.

Ahead lay the barrier between the groups of advanced and intermediate universes.

The current starlit sky was peaceful.

In a nearby space outpost, an elder lay on a rocking chair, legs crossed, counting the ore in his personal space.

After counting, his wrinkled face was filled with joy.

Great harvest!

What a harvest!

He had only been here a few months, but the collected toll equaled several decades of wages.

"The income here is just too good!"

"If I work for several billion years, wouldn’t I earn a fortune? No worries for future expenses!"

"I just can’t understand why Luo Xuan would resign; such a good position, others want it but can’t have it!"

"However, his resignation is good; it’s a windfall for this old man..."

The elder whispered happily.

He was an elder of the Luo family from the Sky Abyss Universe.

Now taking over Luo Xuan’s role as a manager at the space outpost.

Boom!

However.

As the elder was envisioning a beautiful future.

A terrifying power from the outer universe traversed, piercing through the space outpost, a violent aura permeated, tearing dimensions, annihilating all.

The elder trembled and knelt!

"Caus... Causality Power!"

The elder looked at the torn space outpost, face pale, voice trembling.

An inexplicable fear filled his heart.

Could a Cause Realm strong one be arriving?

Shouldn’t be!

What Cause Realm big shot would idly wander into an intermediate universe?

Boom!

Before the elder could calm down, another Causality Power pierced the shattered space outpost.

Over the next moments, the elder witnessed a scene he could never forget, usually rare to see strong ones, appearing as if dumplings were being dropped into water.

In just half a moment, over eighty Causality Powers appeared.

Besides that, nearly a thousand Three Knowledge Realm powers also appeared.

The space outpost, spanning several light-years, instantly became ruinous.

The elder sat paralyzed on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Fight!"

This moment.

The elder’s ears were filled with a loud voice echoing, the power to slaughter endless, destroy all.

"More strong ones arriving?"

For a moment, the elder thought, but quickly dismissed it, for the voice did not seem to come from high-level universes but more like from intermediate ones.

Thinking this, the elder stiffly turned his head, seeing the usually calm intermediate universe explode with vigor.

Countless strong auras erupted from the Nine Provinces Great Thousand Worlds.

Like sharp Heavenly Swords.

Pointed towards the advanced universe group.

"Intermediate and advanced universes are at war?"

"Insane!"

"I must be insane!"

The elder clutched his head, eyes bloodshot, unable to endure the terrifying pressure, he exploded into a mist of blood.
