Chapter 3385 Forbidden Methods

"It seems this ancient demigod is getting restless!"

Shen Changqing's face was cold, and there seemed to be a disdainful smile on his lips.

Previously, the Bright Light Holy Land attacked the Eastern Abyss Domain in a slow and gradual manner, taking measures to nibble away at it. But now the other side is directly attacking the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect, overturning all the previous plans.

visible.

The matter concerning the Northern Star Region.

This finally put pressure on the other party.

The Mingguang Holy Land's army in the Eastern Abyss Region is now like a rootless duckweed.

A little careless.

It could lead to utter ruin.

In this situation, it's normal for the other party to be restless.

Think of this.

Shen Changqing looked at Yan Wuxiang and said, "The three great immortal sects have strong foundations. Even if the Mingguang Holy Land goes all out, it is impossible to destroy the three great immortal sects in a short period of time."

Let them wear each other down before we make our move.

"Does the Holy Lord intend for them to both suffer heavy losses?"

Yan Wuxiang immediately understood Shen Changqing's intention.

The latter nodded: "It would be best if both sides could suffer heavy losses, but we need to see the specifics before we can understand the situation."

Hear the words.

Yan Wuxiang said nothing more and then respectfully withdrew.

He came only to report on the affairs of the Eastern Abyss Region; as for anything else, he only needed to obey the orders of this Holy Lord.

Moreover.

In Yan Wuxiang's view, the best outcome for the Heavenly Demon Holy Land would be for both sides to suffer heavy losses.

After Yan Wuxiang left, Shen Changqing used his divine sense to close the gate of the Immortal Palace again. Then he took out a top-grade immortal stone and silently refined the innate immortal energy and divine essence contained within it.

The war is imminent.

What Shen Changqing needed to do was naturally to improve his strength as much as possible.

Even without the Seven Profound Divine Tower, with Shen Changqing's current cultivation level, refining top-grade immortal stones would be much easier than before.

As streams of extremely pure innate immortal energy flowed into his body and merged into the nine universes, Shen Changqing could clearly feel that his own foundation was undergoing subtle changes little by little.

-

time flies.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

period.

Yan Wuxiang would send messages every few days, reporting on the actual situation in the Eastern Abyss Region.

This month.

The Mingguang Holy Land was determined to destroy the Yunlei Immortal Sect, and many of its troops rushed forward one after another, completely disregarding casualties.

Faced with the fierce attack from the Bright Light Holy Land, the three Great Immortal Sects of Longevity also fought with all their might to resist.

to this end.

Jiang Linyuan and the two immortals, Jueqing Venerable, joined forces to deal with Jueming Venerable.

The three immortal half-saints fought fiercely in the Eastern Abyss Region, destroying and affecting countless territories. Many forces that had been observing from the sidelines were wiped out in the aftermath of this battle.

This can be seen.

Both sides are now fighting with full force, and neither side will give up until the other is completely suppressed and destroyed.

not only that.

The Hidden Edge Sword Sect also sent a message, wanting the Heavenly Demon Holy Land to come to the Eastern Abyss Region to jointly deal with the Bright Light Holy Land.

In this regard.

Shen Changqing naturally responded.

He responded, but in his opinion, the timing wasn't quite right to actually take action.

This day.

Then the barrier of the Immortal Realm was shattered.

As the immortal ship stepped into this immortal realm, a terrifying, bloody aura immediately rushed towards them, as if to erode the cultivators' minds and completely awaken their bloodthirsty killing intent.

"Eastern Abyss Domain!"

Shen Changqing emerged from seclusion and looked into the void before him. He saw that the malevolent energy of the vast immortal realm was incredibly dense.

Even those unfamiliar with the situation in the Eastern Abyss Region could understand the ferocity of the war currently raging there upon seeing such astonishing malevolent energy.

When Yan Wuxiang and the other cultivators saw this scene, their expressions became extremely solemn.

but--

When innate demon gods like Rahu sensed this malevolent energy of heaven and earth, they felt a hidden urge to slaughter everything.

A fighting spirit shone in their eyes.

Innate Demon God!

They were born to kill!

Not to mention that Shen Changqing passed down the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture, which made them have an even stronger desire for the fiendish energy of heaven and earth.

at this time.

Fu Zheng asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"Wait!"

Shen Changqing uttered a single word.

This sentence.

This was clear to all the other cultivators.

Subsequently.

Shen Changqing waved his sleeve and put away the immortal boat. Everyone waited silently for the right moment.

Time passed little by little.

The battle between the two forces became increasingly fierce.

Almost every one or two days, cosmic phantoms could be seen falling, foreshadowing the fall of one immortal emperor after another.

not only that.

Even more terrifyingly, the aura of a semi-saint raged relentlessly across the Nine Heavens.

Shen Changqing observed the battle silently from the sidelines, without directly intervening.

He is waiting!

Waiting for the right opportunity to come!

Although news kept coming in that the three great immortal sects were at a disadvantage, Shen Changqing was not worried at all.

The reason is simple.

The foundations of the three great immortal sects are definitely not that simple.

It would be absolutely impossible for such a power, which has been passed down from ancient times, to have no foundation whatsoever.

Let alone the three great immortal sects, even a weak place like the Heavenly Demon Holy Land still has a backup plan like the Demon God's Tomb.

If the Holy Land is truly on the verge of extinction, the only option is to detonate the entire Demon God's Tomb's restrictions, releasing all the evil thoughts of the Immortal Emperors as a mutually destructive measure.

This is already the case for a Heavenly Demon Holy Land.

Shen Changqing believed it.

The three great immortal sects also had contingency plans left behind.

and so.

He was in no hurry.

Despite the fact that the war has reached a fever pitch, the foundation of these ancient immortal sects means they can at least hold out for a while longer.

……

Time passed little by little.

soon.

Half a year passed.

Half a year.

The war between the two sides escalated, revealing a multitude of hidden strengths, and resulting in the fall of many powerful figures.

On the immortal mountain, Yan Wuxiang sighed with emotion: "The Longevity Immortal Sect is indeed extraordinary. It was able to withstand such a fierce attack from the Bright Light Holy Land for half a year without being defeated."

"These sects have been able to survive since ancient times, how could they be without any foundation? Just watch, this time the Bright Light Holy Land will be able to force them to reveal their trump cards..."

Shen Changqing stood atop the mountain with his hands behind his back, a Daoist aura emanating from his eyes, taking in the entire scene of the battlefield.

In this regard.

Yan Wuxiang shared the same sentiment.

For the past six months, he has been keeping a close eye on the battlefield and has truly witnessed the formidable strength of these immortal sects.

Leaving aside the others, the three major immortal sects alone have already deployed no fewer than a hundred experts at the Immortal Emperor realm.

The resources and foundations of these Immortal Emperors alone are unmatched by any other force.

Despite the Heavenly Demon Holy Land's greatly increased strength, it still only has fewer than twenty Immortal Emperor realm experts at most.

but.

The three great immortal sects can each produce dozens of immortal emperors.

the most important is.

These Celestial Emperors are all quite powerful.

Such profound strength and resources are truly awe-inspiring.

……

This day.

A terrifying wave suddenly erupted from the battlefield, followed by an ancient and vast aura that pierced the heavens. A terrifying blood array shook the heavens.

Countless living beings' life force converged towards the center of the formation.

"coming!"

Upon seeing this scene, Shen Changqing's expression finally changed.

the other side.

Yan Wuxiang also sensed this terrifying aura, and his expression changed drastically: "Could it be that the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect has another immortal presiding over it!?"

"This is no ordinary immortality. If I am not mistaken, this is an immortal skeleton revived by the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect using forbidden methods."

"Using such methods, it seems the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect has truly reached a dead end!"

Shen Changqing's expression was solemn. The ancient and decaying aura of immortality made him feel a slight unease.

Because he was constantly watching the battlefield, Shen Changqing was able to see the scene clearly.

Just as the protective formation of the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect was broken and the army of the Bright Light Holy Land stormed into the mountain gate, a terrifying blood array erupted, instantly devouring all the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect cultivators within its range.

Such methods.

Shen Changqing understood without even thinking.

Once the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect unleashes its power, it is destined to pay a heavy price.

The fact that the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect is resorting to such methods shows that it has reached its wit's end.

……

now.

Inside the Yunlei Immortal Sect, there was a scene of bloodshed and despair. Jiang Jingming's Daoist robe was stained with blood, and his once middle-aged face seemed to have aged considerably, with some gray hairs visible at his temples.

"Sect Master, please accept our condolences. Using forbidden methods now is a last resort. As long as we can defeat the Bright Light Holy Land, then these disciples will not have died in vain!"

Behind him, Ji Yun's voice was heavy. The aura of this Grand Elder of the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect was also erratic. His Daoist robe was stained with a lot of blood, some from enemies and some from himself.

Hear the words.

Jiang Jingming fell silent.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke: "The Grand Elder is right. They will not have died in vain. The Mingguang Holy Land will surely pay the price for the Ancestor's resurrection!"

As he finished speaking, Jiang Jingming's eyes turned bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth.

As an ancient immortal sect, the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect naturally had some trump cards left to protect itself.

Such a method of reviving the remains of an ancient demigod is an example of this.

however.

The requirements for performing such forbidden methods are extremely high: only cultivators who have not practiced the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect's inherited techniques can become the target of blood sacrifice.

and so.

To revive the immortal skeleton, the only way is to use the blood of the cultivators of the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect.

In addition-

This immortal skeleton is not comparable to an ordinary half-saint; at its peak, it was an existence that had stepped into the Seven Tribulations Realm.

Although these beings have perished, their remains still contain terrifying power. To truly revive them, the number of targets requiring blood sacrifice is inevitably much greater.

This blood sacrifice.

It nearly wiped out 80% of the remaining cultivators in the Cloud Thunder Immortal Sect.

Jiang Jingming did not want to do this.

But no way.

The Mingguang Holy Land launched a fierce attack, which was almost impossible to withstand even when the three great immortal sects joined forces.

The sect was on the verge of destruction.

Under these circumstances, Jiang Jingming had no choice but to make a drastic decision to preserve the sect's lineage. (End of Chapter)
