Chapter 1894: Chapter 934: Opening the Warfront 4
After realizing this, the members of the Ascension Sect became even greedier.
They were already thinking that if they could devour the Matriarch, they would at least secure a Rank-5 path in the future.
Although they were Rank-5 insect beasts, as a heretical cult, they simply did not care about anything other than advancing.
Thus, the Ascension Sect’s main plan was, on one hand, to assist Lin Daoming in extracting the earth’s essence of the Dragon God Star and condense the Fetal Transformation Essence, while, on the other hand, cultivating their own insect beast clones. In case the Matriarch fell in the future, they hoped to bite off a piece of the Matriarch’s flesh.
“With the foundation of the Immortal Gate, this Matriarch—no matter how close to Deity Transformation Peak—cannot withstand its power.”
In a dark cavern beneath the Dragon God Star, the Ascension Hierarch, Shen Yuxuan, and Yan Xinji’s insect beast clones stood in human form, conversing.
“Let’s try to delay as much as possible. If we truly can’t hold out, then we’ll see and act accordingly.”
Shen Yuxuan voiced his thoughts, having mastered the Devour God Technique to extraordinary levels. Previously, when he was killed by Chen Mobai’s Purple Electric Sword, it was only the best furnace he had cultivated.
Though he felt saddened by the loss, it was worth it to avert a disaster.
“If it comes to the final moment, assisting the Dual Sages of the Immortal Gate in subduing the Matriarch is not impossible. After all, a being like the Matriarch at Fifth Rank Peak would definitely be well preserved and thoroughly researched by the Immortal Gate. As long as the entity remains with the Immortal Gate, during the long ages, we’ll surely find an opportunity to steal a piece of flesh.”
Yan Xinji suggested another method but the other two remained silent.
The Ascension Hierarch and Shen Yuxuan both had limited lifespans, and despite studying techniques for seizing lifespan to replenish themselves, endless advancement was impossible.
Because of this, they held high regard for their proximity to the Dragon God Star.
They even considered following the Dragon God Star away from the Tianyang Star System for one last effort.
Rumble!
At this moment, a violent tremor shook the ground.
The underground cavern where they were began to crack; if not for the high grade of their insect beast clones, they might have been buried alive.
“Is the Xuanwu Dao Palace descending again?”
They were three thousand meters underground, and even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t cause such commotion through the thick earth.
Previously, only when the Narcissus maneuvered the Xuanwu Dao Palace down for a sweep did such a scene occur.
“No, not merely the Xuanwu Dao Palace!”
Shen Yuxuan, with the most insect beast clones, quickly saw through a surface clone the image of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Dao Palaces, amidst fleets of star space battleships and guards from the Two Heavenly Gates, evolving into the Void Domain of Nine Heavens Immortal Mansion, descending on the Dragon God Star.
“It seems Bai Guang has emerged, and the Immortal Gate is launching an all-out assault!”
After the Ascension Hierarch spoke, a thought came to mind.
“What if we impart the Purple Cloud Dao Scripture to the Matriarch—could it break through?”
Her words stunned the other two.
“This… I think caution is warranted.”
After hesitating, Yan Xinji gently advised against it.
The Purple Cloud Dao Scripture was an incomparable scripture compiled by their antiquity Daoist ancestor, who gathered the True Word Dao Patterns obtained within the Purple Cloud Palace. Essentially, it encompassed all original Forbidden Techniques from the antiquity Daoist system.
Its value rivaled even the Immortal Gate’s Seven Great Heavenly Books.
If the Matriarch truly managed to comprehend and break through, the Immortal Gate would undoubtedly use the Lingxiao Palace to reduce the Dragon God Star to ashes.
That would be too wasteful!
“I merely thought of it suddenly; let’s observe the situation further.”
After speaking, the three separated.
However, the Ascension Hierarch’s words stirred a storm in Shen Yuxuan’s heart.
Human lifespans are short, whereas demonic beasts last long due to humans cultivating their souls through Qi Cultivation and their efficiency in understanding the Great Tao being several times, even dozens of times greater than demonic beasts.
Because of this, the Matriarch, as a Gnawing Gold Fire Ant, although possessing powerful talent and the energy of the Dragon God Star’s core, remained stuck before the threshold of Cultivating Void, unable to step forward.
If he could seize the Matriarch’s body and combine it with the supreme Great Tao recorded in the Purple Cloud Dao Scripture, could he ascend in one leap?
Suppressing his inner excitement, Shen Yuxuan knew very well that a creature of the Matriarch’s realm possessed a level of spirituality far beyond his ability to seize.
Yet, after seizing so many insect beasts over the years, he discovered a secret.
Perhaps he could use it to take that crucial step.
If so, then he might just have to aid the Immortal Gate.
…
The movements of the Ascension Sect naturally didn’t escape the notice of Qian Xing Patriarch, but he wanted to see the extent to which Lin Daoming’s Spiritual Pivot of All Phenomena could reach.
Additionally, there were things the Immortal Gate wasn’t suited to do, but required someone from the Ascension Sect’s side, without limitations.
Yet, all these were merely pastimes to pass the time; with Bai Guang’s emergence, the war to open up the Dragon God Star was about to conclude.
Above the Dragon God Star, Chen Mobai maneuvered the Vermilion Dao Palace, guarding the southern skies.
As if forged from fiery red jade, the Southern Heavenly Gate hovered outside the Dao Palace, blazing flames transforming into countless Fire Ravens, covering the sky.
Each Fire Raven was equivalent to Rank-3 Divine Thunder, and when they touched the ground, towering flames erupted, turning the sandy earth within sight into a boundless sea of fire.
Amidst the blazing heat, hordes of insect beasts burst from the depths of the earth, only to be turned into charred corpses by the flames.
After a sweep of ten thousand ravens, only a fraction of the insect beasts remained on the Vermilion Dao Palace-guarded ground.
But to Chen Mobai’s surprise, some surviving insect beasts evolved, benefiting from the Fire Ravens’ wash.
“Indeed, these Gnawing Gold Fire Ants have impressive resistance to flames; halt the Fire Raven formation.”
Chen Mobai turned to Hua Zijing, who nodded and prepared to inform Zhongli Tianyu directing at the Southern Heavenly Gate, only to find the Fire Ravens reverting into fire element yuan qi, forming layers of Fire Crystal Shields.
Several powerful insect beasts shot golden fire energy balls at the Vermilion Dao Palace, creating ripples upon the Fire Crystal Shields, and even some fire spiritual power was absorbed instead.
“Little Zhong Li’s command is quite commendable.”
Wenren Xuewei couldn’t help but praise upon seeing this.
With Bai Guang Patriarch’s emergence, the Three Great Halls of the Immortal Gate instantly transformed into war machines. Chen Mobai also led his people, evolved the Nine Heavens Fire Mansion from the Vermilion Dao Palace, becoming one of Lingxiao Palace’s energy sources.
From outer space, the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu Dao Palaces transformed three Dominion Domains, harnessing the power of tens of thousands of cultivators to occupy three positions on the Dragon God Star, continually extracting the planet’s nature’s spiritual energy and transforming it into three bright beams of light injected into the Outer Space Void—a golden, glorious palace.
This palace was the Immortal Gate’s strongest war artifact, the Lingxiao Palace!
Yu Baiguang stood before the Lingxiao Palace, slowly raising the sword in hand!
