Chapter 825: The Arrival of Divine General Xulong |
TL: Etude
Outside the Divine Realm, Xulong Holy Land’s experts had been killed by Ye Tian, but the major divine cities within the Immortal Race’s territory continued to be attacked by Xulong Holy Land’s forces. Fortunately, the First Divine Lord and other Earthly Venerables from the Immortal Race emerged from the Divine Realm to rescue the various divine cities.
Thus, the First Divine Lord led many Earthly Venerable experts to various locations within the Immortal Race for rescue missions. As time passed, one by one, the Earthly Venerable experts from Xulong Holy Land fell and perished.
As a holy land, Xulong Holy Land was indeed powerful, but they did not have many top-tier Earthly Venerables. Moreover, they had to keep some of their experts stationed at Xulong Holy Land, so they could only dispatch a portion of their Earthly Venerables.
Now, the deaths of three top-tier Earthly Venerables, including Venerable Earth Splitting Spear, was an unexpected result for Xulong Holy Land, which could not alter their plan.
Soon, the forces from Xulong Holy Land that had invaded the Immortal Race were nearly exterminated, with only a small number of Earthly Venerables managing to escape in time.
As the Holy Lord of Xulong Holy Land, Divine General Xulong quickly became aware of this.
“What? Venerable Earth Splitting Spear, the Venerable Silver Moon Saber, and the Venerable Shadow Demon—all dead?”
“Useless bunch!” Divine General Xulong was furious.
Originally, Xulong Holy Land was not considered a top-tier holy land among the many holy lands in the Cangyu Universe. Now, having lost so many Earthly Venerables, it might only be ranked at the bottom among holy lands.
“Damn it, having lost so many Earthly Venerables, I’ll have to recruit another batch when I return!” Divine General Xulong thought.
In reality, he wasn’t truly pained by the loss of these Earthly Venerables. He had established the holy land mainly for his own purposes. The holy lands in the Cangyu Universe were all established by ancient Divine Generals like him from the Twelve Cosmic Eras, aiming for transcendence.
They had been cultivating for a long time, exceeding a single universe era, making further advancement difficult. They were nearly all at a bottleneck. Hence, they all yearned for destiny, hoping to use immense destiny to break through their constraints and utilize the rules of the Eternal Universe to overcome their bottlenecks, thus gaining a chance for transcendence.
But now, the most crucial step had failed! Xulong Holy Land had secured the opportunity to be the first to annihilate the Immortal Race, a chance obtained at great cost. However, with the fall of Venerable Earth Splitting Spear and others, the plan had failed.
“No, it hasn’t failed yet. I will immediately head to the Immortal Race, eliminate their high-ranking members, then mobilize the remaining Earthly Venerables of Xulong Holy Land to occupy the Divine Realm of the Immortal Race. Step by step, I’ll take control of the Immortal Race. In that way, my plan will still succeed!”
With this thought, Divine General Xulong no longer focused on the Master of the Primordial Era but instead rushed towards the Immortal Race at the fastest speed.
In the Primordial Hall, the Master of the Primordial Era sensed the disappearance of Divine General Xulong’s aura and immediately frowned.
“Divine General Xulong has left. Could it be that the Immortal Race has been annihilated by Xulong Holy Land?” The Master of the Primordial Era speculated.
From the beginning, he knew that Xulong Holy Land’s target was the Immortal Race. After all, Xulong Holy Land’s actions were too obvious, and the Primordial Hall’s intelligence capabilities were not weak. Additionally, Divine General Xulong had been hiding in an area outside the Primordial Hall, vaguely emitting an aura that locked onto him. This intent was too clear.
He was only an early-stage one-star Divine General. Although his strength had recently increased, it was only approaching the mid-stage of a one-star Divine General.
But Divine General Xulong was a genuine mid-stage one-star Divine General, and he was not an opponent.
Even if he fought desperately, at most, he could heavily injure Divine General Xulong, but the cost would be his own death.
Naturally, he wouldn’t seek a desperate fight with Divine General Xulong, and the latter also wouldn’t risk severe injury to kill him. Otherwise, he might be easily taken advantage of by other holy land lords.
Conflicts between holy lands were common, and mutual slaughter was quite normal.
The Master of the Primordial Era immediately used a hidden pawn within the Immortal Race’s territory to contact the other side. Soon, he obtained specific information.
“The Immortal Race isn’t destroyed, but almost all the people from Xulong Holy Land were killed,” the Master of the Primordial Era was shocked.
He knew well the strength of the Immortal Race. They were just so-so, as the Eternal Universe’s thirteenth universe era was only in its early to mid-stage. It hadn’t fully grown yet, and the Immortal Race wasn’t Ye Tian, so it couldn’t have such strong power.
But now, the Immortal Race had won.
“That pawn wasn’t very strong and didn’t know much information!”
The Master of the Primordial Era utilized other intelligence resources and quickly learned the true situation.
“The Supreme of Ten Thousand Laws went to the Immortal Race. No wonder!” The Master of the Primordial Era suddenly realized.
In the universe, if anyone knew Ye Tian’s strength well, he was probably one of them. He was well aware that Ye Tian’s strength had long reached the Divine General level and that he had entered both the Qilin Hall’s inheritance grounds and the Origin Land. How much his strength had improved now, he dared not estimate.
But it was certain that Ye Tian’s strength surpassed his own by a considerable margin. With such a powerful Divine General-level expert stationed in the Immortal Race, those Earthly Venerables from Xulong Holy Land were naturally no match.
“Divine General Xulong is likely heading to the Immortal Race. He might even confront the Supreme of Ten Thousand Laws!” The Master of the Primordial Era thought.
Immediately, he left the Primordial Hall, intending to go to the Immortal Race to watch the spectacle and also to glimpse the strength of the Supreme of Ten Thousand Laws, Ye Tian.
Swish! The Master of the Primordial Era traversed continuously towards the Divine Realm of the Immortal Race.
The Divine Realm had become the new headquarters of the Immortal Race, and Divine General Xulong would undoubtedly head there as well.
Outside the Divine Realm.
Ye Tian sat cross-legged in the void, cultivating while keeping an eye on the surrounding situation. The First Divine Lord and others returned here after resolving their troubles.
They were all waiting! The Immortal Race knew very well that Divine General Xulong would not give up and would certainly come to the Immortal Race.
Suddenly, Ye Tian opened his eyes and said, “Divine General Xulong has arrived!”
“Has he arrived?”
The First Divine Lord and others scanned the surrounding area with their divine senses but found nothing.
Ye Tian didn’t explain. Although Divine General Xulong was still far away, he had indeed arrived. This was a result of Ye Tian’s Life Heavenly Eye ability, which allowed him to detect such things. The First Divine Lord and the others, lacking this ability, naturally did not know.
Not long after, an incredibly powerful aura approached.
The expressions of the First Divine Lord and others changed dramatically. That aura filled them with despair.
Without a doubt, the approaching figure was a terrifying existence above the ten-star Earthly Venerable—a Divine General-level expert!
“Immortal Race, damn you!” A terrifying roar shook the void.
In the next moment, a figure stepped out from a void fissure, cold eyes staring at the members of the Immortal Race before finally fixing on Ye Tian.
“A Divine General!”
Divine General Xulong was startled. He noticed Ye Tian’s extraordinary nature. Instinctively, he sensed that Ye Tian was very strong, belonging to the Divine General level.
Divine Generals could sense each other. He couldn’t be mistaken.
At this moment, he finally understood why Venerable Earth Splitting Spear and the others had died. The Eternal Universe had not just one Divine General; there was another one here.
Their intelligence had been faulty!
