Chapter 1923 - 1927: The Outbreak of War

Chapter 1923: Chapter 1927: The Outbreak of War

Lin Island.

Seventeen hours have passed since Lin Feng ordered preparations for the attack.

"Young Master, the battle has ended. Please give your order!"

Lin Xiaojuan appeared beside Lin Feng again, her body free from even a trace of dirt, but exuding a strong smell of blood. She looked at Lin Feng with unwaveringly admiring eyes and reported.

"Hmm, give a detailed report."

Lin Feng, busy drawing something, asked without raising his head.

"Killed a hundred thousand enemies, with thirteen thousand casualties."

Lin Xiaojuan replied, "The majority of casualties were caused by the self-destruction of opponent cultivators."

"Seventeen hours, the time is rather long."

Lin Feng tapped the table as he spoke.

"Yes, this attack was experimental in nature, differing significantly from previous combat methods, which resulted in such a lengthy duration."

Lin Xiaojuan explained, "The biggest issue was our inability to set up; although we struck the enemy hard with surprise initially, we also quickly exposed our presence, giving the enemy time to unite and counterattack."

"I think the improvement should focus on the approach to attacking. Surrounding before breaking the spatial turbulence of the enemy islands could significantly reduce the time."

"You’re too idealistic; this type of battle will never happen again. From now on, all battles will be direct confrontations without time to set up like that." Lin Feng shook his head.

"Yes!"

Lin Xiaojuan did not understand Lin Feng’s meaning but she trusted him.

Since the Young Master said it wouldn’t happen, then it absolutely wouldn’t happen.

"Alright, you may leave now. For specific improvements in combat methods, listen to Ghost Daoist’s ideas." Lin Feng waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Lin Xiaojuan nodded and then left the small valley.

After Lin Xiaojuan left, Lin Feng rubbed his temples and murmured to himself, "Seventeen hours to conquer one island, even with such careful planning and a stationary enemy island, it’s still too slow!"

...

Meanwhile, as the Thirty-Three Heavens moved swiftly, the scope of the Heavenly Lord’s Horn’s orders also rapidly expanded.

Silver Fox’s island held out for three days before choosing to pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Lord, joining the outer forces.

Hu Fei chose to fight to the death, but when the Heavenly Lord gave the command, and the entire island rejected Hu Fei, Hu Fei was crushed instantly by the Heavenly Lord, dying with his soul scattered! ℴ

The Liuli Emperor put up slight resistance but then also pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Lord, joining the outer forces.

Taihui Island, lacking any Mahayana cultivator, was in chaos, and the Heavenly Lord couldn’t be bothered to reorganize it, so thousands of shells bombarded Taihui Island, flattening it. Subsequently, Taihui Island, where no one survived, also became part of the Heavenly Lord’s outer forces.

As news spread, those Mahayana cultivators, who sometimes believed the world was just so, began to understand what true fear was!

"The Heavenly Lord can actually control island movements?!"

"The Heavenly Lord actually possesses weapons that can destroy entire islands?!"

"The Heavenly Lord’s power is so immense?!"

"We, who hold partial core control, cannot possibly contend with the Heavenly Lord, who has never set foot on the islands?!"

"What’s the deal with the core?! Why is this happening?!"

"What’s going on?! Who knows what’s happening?! Why can the Heavenly Lord control other people’s islands?! Isn’t the core control ours?!"

"..."

All the Mahayana cultivators panicked.

They always thought that as long as they were on their own islands, they were unbeatable!

After all, they held a part of the core’s control!

Yet reality slapped them hard in the face!

What control rights?!

The core control rights they believed they had were never truly theirs!

Thus, to save their lives, many Mahayana cultivators voluntarily joined the Heavenly Lord’s influence.

All of a sudden, it seemed the Heavenly Lord genuinely intended to unite the entire great world.

But, the Heavenly Lord, Lin Feng, Lu Xiaobu, and many relatively intelligent people knew this was just an illusion.

The Mahayana cultivators pledging allegiance were mostly driven by fear of the Heavenly Lord’s ability to control their islands.

Once they discovered the source of this power, and learned how to break this control, the so-called allegiance would be a joke.

That’s why, despite having such formidable power, the Heavenly Lord still chose to expand his influence gradually over time!

This forced conquest was only temporarily powerful!

...

While everyone assumed this situation would persist for some time longer, war suddenly erupted!

However, to everyone’s surprise, even shock, the instigator of this war wasn’t the mighty Heavenly Lord, but Lin Feng.

Yes, it was Lin Feng.

Upon hearing this news, everyone thought Lin Feng had gone mad.

After all, why?!

How could a mere Lin Feng dare attempt such an act, like an ant shaking a tree?!

It seemed a purely suicidal attack!

Yet, when the results of the battle came out, everyone was dumbstruck.

The Thirty-Three Heavens, after that battle, became the Thirty-Two Heavens!

After the war, the Heavenly Lord issued a gag order; no one dared reveal details of the battle.

But there are no impermeable walls in the world; snippets of information about the war still came out.

"That day, Lin Island suddenly appeared, as if the entire island had undergone a spatial traversal!"

"Blood! Blood everywhere! Not the blood of the battlefield, but the blood brought by Lin Feng! Endless!"

"Slaughter! Mad slaughter, Lin Feng’s warriors were fearless and reckless, the sound of self-destructions endless!"

"Lin Feng appeared in person, and the Heavenly Lord also appeared! They fought, but no one saw who won or lost!"

"Half of Lin Island was finally blasted away, countless fallen stones crashing onto the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

"Blood engulfed the entire island; anyone who entered, unless with the cultivation above Crossing Tribulation, lost all sanity, turning the whole island into Hell!"

"The Heavenly Lord abandoned that island turned hell, leading the now Thirty-Two Heavens eastward!"

"We don’t know! We don’t know why Lin Feng did this! Why attack the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

"Die! Die! Die! Lin Feng, I’ll kill you! Die! Die!"

"Lin Feng is a demon! An absolute demon! Too terrifying! Too terrifying!"

"Don’t ask me, don’t ask me, I know nothing, nothing at all! Nothing!"

"..."
