Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 988: Chapter 41: Renowned Across the Starry Skies

The battle between the Saint Emperors of the Conquest Sect and the Devouring Sect.

A total of one hundred eighty-seven ordinary Saint Emperors were involved, ninety-two from the Conquest Sect and ninety-five from the Devouring Sect.

There were nine top-tier Saint Emperors.

This battle can be said to be the most terrifying war in terms of lineup since the appearance of cultivators in the Old Land Starry Sky.

The top powerhouses accumulated over millions of years in the Old Land Starry Sky were fully mobilized.

Even during the cross-realm war periods, the intensity was not even close to a tenth of this battle.

Originally, this battle might have destroyed vast expanses of the starry sky, but due to the appearance of Wang Sheng, the course of the war changed.

Wang Sheng fought two top-tier Saint Emperors, suppressing them and forcibly balancing the situation, resulting in the war not reaching its end but instead retreating midway.

Or rather, the Devouring Sect suffered a minor defeat.

The Conquest Sect resisted the surprise attack of the Devouring Sect and repelled the various forces of the Devouring Sect.

Although this does not mean that the Devouring Sect has been completely extinguished, it can even be said that the Devouring Sect is bound to stir up trouble again, but the name of the Lifeless True Saint can no longer be hidden.

In the battle among top-tier Saint Emperors, although ordinary Saint Emperors could withstand the residual effects, they had little room to participate.

In fact, many Saint Emperors were afraid that top-tier Saint Emperors might launch a feint and seek opportunities to attack them, so they purposely widened the battlefield.

Many Saint Emperors’ battlefields were several star domains away from the battlefield of the top-tier Saint Emperors.

While there’s no room to participate, the battles among top-tier Saint Emperors largely determined the overall victory or defeat.

Therefore, some Saint Emperors who were nearby watched the situation closely in secret.

Especially the various Saint Emperors of the Conquest Sect.

Originally, they occupied an advantage, being two top-tier Saint Emperors more.

With such a huge gap, even though they had fewer ordinary Saint Emperors, they weren’t very afraid, believing they were bound to win.

But when the Devouring Sect appeared with three more top-tier Saint Emperors, their hearts sank completely.

Now, whether in top-tier or ordinary Saint Emperors, they were lagging behind.

The situation instantly turned unfavorable.

As a result, many Saint Emperors felt an urge to retreat.

They couldn’t react quickly to the changes in the situation.

An inexplicably emerged top-tier Saint Emperor, Lifeless True Saint, fought two, gaining an advantage, even driving the two enemy top-tier Saint Emperors into a desperate situation to a certain extent.

“Is Lifeless True Saint really this powerful? No wonder he doesn’t recruit Saint Emperors; with such strength, the number of Saint Emperors doesn’t affect him.”

“Mysterious and powerful, where did Lifeless True Saint come from? There wasn’t a whisper of his name before.”

“Who knows? Regardless of what fame Lifeless True Saint had before, after this, the name of the True Saint will resonate through the starry sky!”

Some Saint Emperors who were too far away and unaware of the specific situation also learned about the battle among top-tier Saint Emperors from other Saint Emperors.

Inside, they were extremely awed.

“No wonder there was a sudden retreat; it turns out the fight among top strongmen was falling behind.”

“I was on the brink of collapse, then the enemy suddenly retreated. I thought there was some massive conspiracy, but it turns out this was the truth. Lifeless True Saint saved my life!”

Some Saint Emperor powerhouses felt regret and talked with their closest friends.

“What a pity, I didn’t choose Lifeless True Saint initially, now it seems his place might be the safest.”

“Yeah, capable of fighting two in the top-tier Saint Emperor domain, the Devouring Sect simply wouldn’t provoke…”

“It’s no use talking about it now; we’ve already made our choice. Changing sides will only bring scorn from both.”

They did not expect the most low-key Lifeless True Saint to suddenly burst forth, displaying terrifying strength.

Wouldn’t one feel completely secure if they joined this group?

In fact, this was what the Deep Sea Saint Emperor and others also thought.

They couldn’t hide the smiles on their faces.

At the same time, Long Yue and Yuanhua wore complex expressions on their faces.

“Fellow Daoist Lifeless, you’ve improved again…” Long Yue had fought Wang Sheng before, at that time neither side exerted their full strength,

but Long Yue was well aware that even if Wang Sheng had exerted his full strength at that time, he surely wasn’t as powerful as he is now.

The most likely reason is that Wang Sheng has further improved after that.

Hence, she sighed in admiration.

In the top-tier Saint Emperor domain, every step forward requires tremendous effort.

But Wang Sheng managed to make such great progress in just a few hundred years.

It’s simply unimaginable.

‘This is what it means to be a powerhouse with a starry sky as their foundation…’

She speculated that it was because Wang Sheng was in the Newborn Land that he made such progress.

She could only envy this and nothing more.

Yuanhua looked at Wang Sheng with a gaze full of complexity and scrutiny.

Discovering Wang Sheng fighting two opponents, he secretly observed and then uncovered an astonishing truth.

The aura of that long spear, he found it incredibly familiar!

The reason for the failure of their Shattered Star Sacred Land plan seemed to have been found.

But now, what can the Shattered Star Sacred Land do?

Rush in for a fight to the death?

Certainly cannot win, and even coordinating with dozens of their ordinary Saint Emperors, their opponent probably has a retreat path, making it completely futile.

Question them?

It would be better to run in for a death battle.

Questioning over interests would only make one seem foolish.

In the end, he could only inwardly sigh, adjust his mood, and then said, “This time, we must thank Fellow Daoist Lifeless, otherwise we would have suffered greatly in this situation.”

Anyhow, compared to the threat of Wang Sheng, the threat of the Devouring Sect remains greater.

If the Devouring Sect isn’t dealt with, let alone the Newborn Land, even the territories of the Old Land Starry Sky would face issues.
