Before Sun Wukong could reply, a woman's voice suddenly sounded beside everyone, "There's no chance of victory; it would only be a fruitless sacrifice." Hearing this sudden voice, everyone hurriedly turned around. When they saw the owner of the voice, they were all stunned, never expecting this person to appear here. The woman was known to everyone; she was Yi Xuan from the Canglan River Realm, also the sister of Zhibei.
Since the beginning of the great battle, Yi Xuan had suddenly disappeared for reasons unknown. Everyone thought she had been guarding the Canglan River Realm all this ti, but it seed that wasn't the case. Furthermore, what particularly concerned everyone was Yi Xuan's strength at the mont. Apart from Sun Wukong, Rogue Heart Sword Hero, and Sha Wujing, who felt it most distinctly, the others could only sense her presence as deep and vast as the sea, unable to gauge the strength of her power. However, Sun Wukong and the other two were acutely aware that Yi Xuan had actually reached the Heavenly Venerate level.
Another Heavenly Venerate, had they beco so common now? Not long ago, everyone had thought that those of the Domain Lord level were the strongest. Yet, within just a few Chinese hours, so many Heavenly Venerates had erged one after another. What was happening? It was unquestionable that the Spirit Controller's strength had always been at the Heavenly Venerate Realm, and then Xi Zhao, after fusing with the Evil Monarch, also reached the Heavenly Venerate Realm.
Then there was Sun Wukong, who achieved the Heavenly Venerate's strength by burning the Wonderful Bodhi Tree to unlock his potential; the subsequently appearing Chi Ghost was also a Heavenly Venerate, and the super-strong Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent was even at the Heavenly Venerate's Peak. At this point, there were already five Heavenly Venerates in the Patrolling Celestial World, although Sun Wukong's current cultivation realm was Nine Patterns Supre. Also, there were Ling Weiyang, Sha Wujing, and Rogue Heart Sword Hero, who were all half a step into the Heavenly Venerate level, thus elevating the combat in the Patrolling Celestial World to a Heavenly Venerate level. Individuals like the Fla God had beco re bystanders.
"You are Yi Xuan? Your strength, how... how..." Looking at the woman in front of him, Rogue Heart Sword Hero felt an odd sensation, both familiar and strange. Yi Xuan chuckled and said, "Surprised that my strength has suddenly reached the Heavenly Venerate Realm, are you? No need to be astonished. Now, allow to introduce myself. My na is Yi Xuan, the younger sister of this generation's Zhibei, the Princess of the Canglan River Realm. Of course, I have another identity, the strategist of the Crimson Army, with a strength at the Heavenly Venerate Mid Grade."
Yi Xuan's words left everyone very puzzled. The Crimson Army? What was that? It sounded like a military force. But before anyone could ask anything, Yi Xuan continued, "My prophetic abilities were superior to my brother's, but he didn't let show it for my safety. In fact, right after entering the Patrolling Celestial World, I had already divined that a catastrophe was impending and that it would stem from an incredibly powerful Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent. Therefore, from the beginning, I had been secretly setting up a Sealing Grand Formation, a powerful formation capable of re-sealing that super serpent. At this point, I must thank Master Zun Dao Zhun and Sun Wukong for buying the precious ti to finish the formation, or else it would have been the end of the world already."
After Yi Xuan finished speaking, Sun Wukong suddenly rembered sothing and asked aloud, "What about Zhibei? Did you go to save him? He was crippled trying to save , losing an arm." Previously, Sun Wukong, engulfed in the grief of Master Zun Dao Zhun's passing, had montarily forgotten about Zhibei. It wasn't until he saw Yi Xuan ntion him that Sun Wukong rembered. Yi Xuan sighed and said, "My brother is fine now. After Xi Zhao took you away, I rescued my brother."
As soon as Yi Xuan finished, Sha Wujing burst out angrily, "How could you have such strong abilities and only choose to save your brother instead of helping my Brother Monkey? Xi Zhao is only at the Heavenly Venerate Primary Stage; he surely can't beat you." Sha Wujing didn't care about Yi Xuan's strength; hearing that she only appeared after Xi Zhao took Sun Wukong away infuriated him. Yi Xuan, however, did not get angry at Sha Wujing's words and instead apologized, "By the ti I got there, it was too late, and I had also foreseen that Sun Wukong wouldn't die. Unfortunately, as for Master Zun Dao Zhun..."
Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "Miss Yi Xuan, there's no need for that; fate decrees such things. Besides, this isn't the ti for those discussions. Although we don't know why the serpent hasn't started the destruction yet, we can't just wait idly. We are willing to follow Miss Yi Xuan's commands. Tell us what to do, and we will obey."
Although the others didn't fully trust Yi Xuan, after all, a person who suddenly possessed strength beyond their reach and even assud a different identity was sothing they could not simply ignore, especially since they had never even heard of this so-called Crimson Army. However, since Sun Wukong had already spoken thus, they had no more to say on the matter. In fact, they didn't have any solution for the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent either. Since Yi Xuan claid to have been prepared for a long ti and it seed that the so-called Sealing Grand Formation was already complete, they might as well give it a try.
At this mont, the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent was no longer focusing on Sun Wukong, but its nine heads were gathered high in the sky, communicating in a way imperceptible to ordinary people. anwhile, the battle between Chi Ghost and the Spirit Controller had reached a fever pitch. Although battles between Heavenly Venerates often lasted for several days and nights, the duration would be significantly shortened once a gap in strength began to show.
At this point, Chi Ghost was clearly at the end of his rope. Chi Ghost was at the Heavenly Venerable Primary Stage of cultivation, while the Spirit Controller was at the Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade, which was the reason why the Spirit Controller could remain in this universe without the Spiritual Power infusion provided by the Underworld God Army. This was a testant to the Spirit Controller's far-sighted and deep strategy, which was chilling. During the ancient war, they, the eight Elixir Spirit Pills that had transford into Mid Grade Heavenly Venerate War Generals, joined the battle, but after the ninth one died, the remaining eight were severely wounded and had to leave the battlefield for recovery.
When they erged from their seclusion, they never expected the great war to be over and were astonished to find that the entire universe had undergone earth-shattering changes. Not only was the universe damaged, resulting in a downgrade of its level, but what shocked them the most was that there were only eight Heavenly Venerates left in the entire universe. Of course, those were only the ones they knew of; there might still be other Hidden Heavenly Venerates they were unaware of. After their initial shock, they felt elated.
With only the eight of them as Heavenly Venerates in the entire universe, did that not an this universe would beco theirs to rule? Hence, while they continued to enhance their own strength, they also searched the universe for other Heavenly Venerates. At the sa ti, they began to reorganize the war-torn universe and established the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms, setting many rules. It would be incorrect to say they had no rits; had they not reorganized the universe after the war, it would likely have fallen into chaos again, with surviving forces battling for more resources.
If other universes saw the opportunity to invade during a state of weakness, then destruction would have been inevitable. They, the eight of them, could quite rightfully be considered the saviors of the current universe. But while the Heavenly Patroller and the other seven were ruling the universe and using collected resources to fiercely improve their own strength, the Spirit Controller took a different path, beginning to collect souls of Heavenly Venerates who died in the great war. He endeavored to restore and enhance these souls. At the ti, the others had mocked him, as relying on external forces was never the Righteous Path.
Only now could they recognize the depth of the Spirit Controller's strategy and foresight.
The souls that the Spirit Controller was using to confront Chi Ghost numbered five. Five Heavenly Venerates at the Primary Stage against one Chi Ghost made for an overwhelming force. In fact, the Spirit Controller had more direct ans to deal with Chi Ghost, naly by using two or three souls of Mid Grade Heavenly Venerates, but he feared that Chi Ghost, sensing defeat was inevitable, might resort to a scorched-earth tactic. In that case, not only would he lose two souls of Heavenly Venerates at the Primary Stage, but his hope of subjugating Chi Ghost's soul might also be shattered.
He valued Chi Ghost's soul highly, not just for its strength but also because of the information it held about the third-party force, the Crimson Army. (To be continued.
