Chapter 1395: Fall of a Major Power
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
When had the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor ever suffered such humiliation? Today, two of his sons were met with misfortune and he who wanted revenge, was actually threatened by someone stronger.
He was the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, the hegemon of the thirteen prefectures but now, he was being suppressed by the strength of another. This was simply a loss of face.
“Since this is an immortal war between the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, let us just observe and watch.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor calmly spoke.
“That’s right, let them settle this themselves based on the emperor-level battle. Why is there a need to create additional needless sin of killing? The victor of the emperor-level battle will be the ruler of the thirteen prefectures and the one who loses will leave this place immediately.” Emperor Yu spoke. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor started laughing as he glanced at the Violet Emperor and his ex-allies. They didn’t seem to be prepared to help.
This immortal war, the ones suffering casualties were his Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. What does it have to do with the other major powers? Also, this war could allow everyone to clearly see the entire trump cards of their sects. These people were naturally willing to do nothing but stand around and watch as the emperor-level battle unfolds.
Below, both the immortal kings and immortal-foundation experts have all ceased their battles as they glanced above them. With so many immortal emperors here, this war was already uncontrollable. The expressions of those from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect were ashen. Upon seeing so many of their comrades dying, their hearts felt extreme sorrow. They initially thought that by starting this war, they would be able to crush the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. No one imagined that such an ending would occur.
“What if they fight to a draw?” The Violet Emperor asked. Back then, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord obtained the six prefectures precisely because they fought to a draw.
“If they fight to a draw, just see what they want to do then. They can ceasefire or they can continue fighting until the forces of one side is completely annihilated.” Emperor Yu calmly spoke. If the emperors couldn’t do anything to each other and their forces were roughly equal to each other, they usually would both choose the first option, splitting their the territories they are fighting for into half, each ruling a portion. If not, none can survive unless the other dies.
Naturally, if their subordinates possess an overwhelming advantage, they would choose the second option. It was just as how the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect thought that they had the absolute advantage, this was why they used their military strength to conquer everything, even wanting to wipe out the headquarters of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.
“If the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect isn’t wiped out, how can I leave?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor soared through the air as battle might gush forth from him. At the same time, the two emperor paragons from his sect also flew up together with him, standing at the two sides of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
The eyes of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord turned cold. He too soared through the air and arrived before the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. Bai Wuya, as well as that aged immortal emperor who appeared earlier, also stood by his side.
For the emperors of both sides, regardless of cultivation base or numbers, they were equal. Hence, the deciding factor next, would be their combat prowess.
“Back then when Bai Wuya was hunted by an immortal emperor for killing the emperor’s son, it was none other than this Pure Yang Sword Emperor who stood out for him. To think that his relationship with Bai Wuya is so good to this extent that he even chose to stand on his side despite an immortal war against the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.” Someone commented in a soft voice. Only now did Qin Wentian know that this aged-looking senior was none other than the emperor who stood out for Bai Wuya against an immortal emperor back then. His title was the Pure Yang Sword Emperor.
“However, Bai Wuya didn’t disappoint the Pure Yang Sword Emperor, his improvements are truly fast and his current cultivation has actually caught up to the Pure Yang Sword Emperor. But, understandably, it’s just too difficult to break through once one is in the emperor realm.”
Everyone stared up in the air. The Eastern Sage faced the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, Bai Wuya faced Paragon Tantai while the Pure Yang Sword Emperor faced Paragon Sky Roc.
In the boundless starry space, resplendent astral light cascaded down, illuminating the sky. The six emperors were shimmering with astral light, they borrowed the astral energy and fought directly using the constellations.
“People of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect listen up. After this war concludes, there will no longer be a place named the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures. This entire region will be under the jurisdiction of our Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Cultivation isn’t an easy task, We don’t wish to see so many people dying, it’s nothing but a huge waste of lives. If all of you leave the battlefield now, no one from our immortal sect will hunt you down. But if you all choose to stay, bear the consequences yourselves.”
Bai Wuya’s voice thundered out, filled with immense confidence. It was like he was absolutely sure that his side would be the winner in this emperor-level battle.
Countless experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect felt their hearts shaking when they heard this. Now that the war has reached this stage, their earlier confidence had completely crumbled. They didn’t have any hope with regards to this war any more, and the hearts of many people were like dead ashes. This was especially so for the immortal-foundation characters. When they saw their friends and comrades being killed as though they were weeds, only they themselves could understand how insignificant they were in an immortal war.
“Stop bragging.” Paragon Tantai coldly spoke as a tyrannical aura gushed from him. Stepping out, the entire area around him was filled with light. He slammed out with his palm as an overbearing attack instantly arrived before Bai Wuya. The speed of that attack was so fast that it was inconceivable.
Bai Wuya’s eyes shone with an intense astral light. In a blink, divine glows shot out, directly shattering his opponent’s attack.
“BOOM!” Paragon Tantai took another step forward, causing the space around him to tremble. Even for those experts below, they could feel the heaven and earth-shaking, as though about to crumble apart. The aftershock from an immortal-emperor level battle was truly extremely fearsome.
However, Bai Wuya didn’t seem to have felt that. He also directly stepped out as his eyes shot out the divine glow once more, freezing the rumbling in space. In fact, there was also a destructive wave of might that shot towards Paragon Tantai, ignoring all defenses, wanting to ravage the interior of his body.
“Scram!” Paragon Tantai’s body erupted forth with tyrannical strength. Grabbing out with his palm, everything crumbled before his might. After the space cleared, Bai Wuya was still calmly standing there, uninjured, looking at him.
“How powerful, Bai Wuya’s eyes have already reached the realm of creating an entire world.” Many spectators felt their hearts trembling. At this moment, the other two battles had also erupted. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord were at their strongest state after borrowing the aid of the astral energy. Their battle shook the heavens and earth, as swirls of destructive and chaotic energy ravaged the space around them. Immortal thunder rained down unceasingly, causing those below to look up in trepidation. Any bolts of this lightning were able to wipe out anyone below the emperor realm. Luckily, there were other immortal emperors present here and they helped to dissipate the aftershocks, neutralizing the energy of the attacks.
The last battle was between Paragon Sky Roc and the Pure Yang Sword Emperor.
Paragon Sky Roc had the speed of sky rocs, as well as extremely powerful attacks that were as ferocious as thunder.
However, for the Pure Yang Sword Emperor, regardless of speed or attack speed, he isn’t in any way inferior when compared to Paragon Sky Roc. His sword shone with the radiance of Pure Yang, and the light cascading down from his constellation was even brighter compared to the battlefield of Eastern Sage and Thousand Transformation. The pure-yang light infused his sword techniques and each of his attacks was unfathomably powerful. Paragon Sky Roc didn’t dare to clash head-on, but he didn’t enjoy any advantage when it comes to speed.
At this moment, holes opened up in the dome of the sky as streaks of pure-yang light fell down, covering the space around the Pure Yang Sword Emperor. The Pure Yang Sword Emperor stabbed his finger forward as millions of filaments of light started to fuse together as they shot towards Paragon Sky Roc. Each filament of light possessed the might of his Pure Yang Sword Art.
Paragon Sky Roc arced through the sky, inconceivably quick, trying his best to evade the attacks. However, every attack made by the Pure Yang Sword Emperor had an extremely large area of effect, capable of enveloping a huge swath of space, filling the space with destructive sword might.
Paragon Sky Roc howled and struck out with his palms, causing the shadows of millions of rocs to fill the sky as the sounds of explosions rang out unceasingly.
The Pure Yang Sword Emperor directly rushed in. With every wave of his sword, waves of power would generate and build up, as he unleashed a boundless sword might.
“Paragon Sky Roc is now trapped.” The eyes of everyone flashed. The powerful Paragon Sky Roc was trapped in a small space by the sword technique of the Pure Yang Sword Emperor. Paragon Sky Roc couldn’t break free, and if this continues on, he would definitely be defeated.
“Bai Wuya has the advantage as well.” The spectators glanced at the other battlefield where Bai Wuya was fighting against Paragon Tantai. Bai Wuya was actually overpowering his opponent and had already injured Paragon Tantai.
“The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor cannot do anything to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. He is being delayed by the cloning technique of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.”
The three emperor-level battles caused the perspectives of the spectators to widen. And when they saw how things were turning out, many immortal-foundation characters of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect started to retreat and leave. Why did they join the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect? Undoubtedly, they were in pursuit of strength. However, now that their emperors had a high possibility of losing when fighting an emperor-level battle, why would they still want to throw their lives away? What was the meaning of continuing to remain here on the battlefield? Is there a need to die for the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect?
After that, more and more people decided to retreat. The fall of morale of an army was like the crumbling of a mountain. Once someone started to retreat, it would cause a chain reaction. At the start, the immortal-foundation characters left, and after that, even immortal kings were leaving. They decided to heed the advice of Bai Wuya and departed decisively.
“The fall of a major power.” When seeing this scene, everyone mused silently in their hearts.
“Trash.” The Skymist Immortal Emperor was here as well. When he saw the situation of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, he couldn’t help but curse in his heart. They started the war in such an imposing manner and actually lost instead? All three of their immortal emperors were being suppressed. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect was not that strong, so he and some of the other major powers lent them their powerful immortal kings. Many of those immortal kings were already dead, resulting in a heavy loss for them.
The expression of the Violet Emperor was unsightly too. The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect is allied with the Evergreen Immortal Empire. They clearly didn’t want to see the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect growing stronger.
However now that the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had fallen, the unifying of the thirteen prefectures under the name of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was already a foregone conclusion.
“What do you all think?” Violet Emperor transmitted his voice to his allies.
“Eastern Sage will lose for sure. But, this is fine as well. After this defeat, the efforts of Eastern Sage through these countless number of years have all gone up in smoke. In addition to one of his sons being killed and the other being crippled, he will definitely go insane.” Someone replied. Everyone here was very clear that even if the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was the winner, there is no way they can kill the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor with them being here.
Also, as long as Eastern Sage doesn’t die, what could be more terrifying than the revenge of a crazed immortal emperor?!
