Chapter 426: Complete Victory
In the depths of the void.
Inside the square and colorful ice crystal palace of the Genesis Star Palace, Emperor Bing Chan looked at the battlefield scene in the magical projection mirror, her black eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she remained silent for a long time.
"... There's really no way to fight this battle!"
Beside her, Dongfang Zhihan supported her chin with one hand and blinked her beautiful eyes, saying, "We can only take a beating without fighting back, endlessly losing people. We don't even have the advantage in terms of top combat power, especially with this unheard-of Three-legged Six-eared Dark Gold Cauldron. Where did the Female Cultivators Union Alliance get such a powerful treasure?"
"At least it possesses a treasure with forty-seven layers of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions, and it might even be higher," analyzed the beautiful woman holding the Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi.
Emperor Bing Huang nodded, "Even if it possesses forty-nine layers of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions, I wouldn't be too surprised. It's completely possible for it to reach such a high level, being able to withstand the joint attacks of those Beast King powerhouses multiple times."
A slight worry arose in her heart. With the appearance of such an unprecedented treasure, and it being in the hands of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, it was unknown whether it would be good or bad for the Genesis Star Palace in the future.
"In that case, the Monster Emperor Kingdom and the Absolute Beginning Dao Palace are bound to lose this time?" asked Ye Xinglan, her white hair like snow, her voice cold and beautiful.
Dongfang Zhihan smiled, "That's obvious, isn't it? If they don't want to cut their losses and retreat, they can only continue to bleed until their elite forces are depleted!"
The twin sisters, youthful and beautiful like the moon in the sky, shook their heads, "Retreating is not an option. There are no benefits to be gained. How could these violent and unruly Beast King powerhouses easily admit defeat? It wouldn't be good to explain to His Majesty, the Monster Emperor, when they return!"
As the Genesis Star Palace, which had been at war with the Monster Emperor Kingdom for many years, they naturally had a deep understanding of the internal situation of this Transcendent Level power. These Beast King powerhouses had long harbored ambitions towards the Ten-tailed Celestial Fox, and there would eventually be a final showdown between the two sides.
If they couldn't win this battle and suffered heavy losses instead, the Beast King powerhouses led by Gui Long would undoubtedly be purged by His Majesty, the Monster Emperor, when they returned.
Therefore, they had no retreat now. They had to persevere as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
Emperor Bing Chan's smile was cold, "I just received news from the inside. His Majesty, the Monster Emperor, has agreed to lend the Monster Emperor Sword. So, in order to perform well, those Beast King powerhouses will probably have to reveal all their cards and use them as chips on the battlefield!"
The women were obviously somewhat surprised by this news, but considering the true intentions of the Ten-tailed Celestial Fox, it was also within reason.
Dongfang Zhihan laughed, "Even with the Monster Emperor Sword, they can forget about breaking through the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's mountain guarding formation in the short term. Apart from giving them a faint hope, it will only cause even more devastating losses to their elite forces!"
Ye Xinglan said, "So, His Majesty, the Monster Emperor, is the ultimate winner. As long as he uses the Female Cultivators Union Alliance to eliminate the internal instability factors, he can further consolidate his position of power."
"What should we do now?" asked Emperor Bing Huang, graceful and elegant. "If the Female Cultivators Union Alliance wins this battle, their momentum will undoubtedly soar. Any force that wants to make a move against them in the future will have to think twice."
Even with the assistance of the Divine Phoenix Palace and the Buddha Domain Pure Land, as long as the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace repelled the joint attack of the coalition forces, with Qin Muling as their trump card and the Dark Gold Cauldron as their Apex Level Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, they would basically be regarded as a Transcendent Level power by the outside world.
By then, even if the Genesis Star Palace wanted to snatch Qin Muling back, it would be extremely difficult.
And don't even think about forming alliances or seeking external help. After all, Qin Muling is only one person, and every lineage power would want her. In the end, they would inevitably turn against each other.
"Let's observe the situation quietly," Emperor Bing Chan said after a moment of contemplation. "We are currently better off staying still and waiting for our master to come out of seclusion. As for these forces, let them stir things up for now."
She didn't think that the several Apex Level experts from the Female Cultivators Union Alliance would be a match for the owner of the Genesis Star Palace, even if they joined forces. As long as the owner of the Star Palace descended upon the Extreme Void Starry Sky, it would be a matter of course to reclaim Qin Muling.
The women exchanged glances and nodded, no longer saying anything.
...
Outside the protective barrier of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace headquarters.
Under the nervous gaze of countless female cultivators, a wall of light, spanning billions of miles, descended slowly. It was a mix of golden and red, filled with a destructive killing intent that froze the souls of billions of beings.
That was the Monster Emperor Sword, the ancestral treasure of the Monster Emperor nation, representing the authority and will of the Monster Emperor.
At this moment, Beast King Gui Long, Ju Mang, Chan Wuji, and other high-ranking members of the Beast Race joined forces to activate this divine sword, launching the strongest attack against the protective barrier.
The thick purple barrier emitted a thunderous roar, and in the area where the Monster Emperor Sword's blade fell, a rift appeared, stretching billions of miles long and thousands of miles deep, filled with luminous clouds.
As the blade continued to press down, the rift on the barrier deepened and widened rapidly, soon extending to a depth of nearly a million miles.
At this moment, the power of the Monster Emperor Sword's blade finally depleted. No matter how much the Beast King giants overdraw their power, they couldn't continue to expand it further.
After a brief stalemate, the wounds on the protective barrier of the headquarters slowly healed, gradually pushing back the might of the Monster Emperor Sword. No matter how furious Gui Long and the others were, it was all in vain.
This was not their first attempt, but the results always disappointed them. The power of the Monster Emperor Sword was indeed terrifying, but it only possessed forty-seven layers of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions. It was still not enough to break through the protective barrier of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
"Indeed... it's still not enough," Beast King Ju Mang looked at the towering bone altar in front of him, his distorted face cold and grim.
In order to enhance the power of the Monster Emperor Sword, they sacrificed hundreds of millions of mortals and ordinary demonic beasts, but the results were still unsatisfactory.
Not to mention this protective barrier, even when the Grand Palace Master and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao repeatedly attacked with the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, they were helpless against the attacks of the Monster Emperor Sword.
Dragon Qi Emperor Jun remained expressionless and silent. As the special envoy of the Monster Emperor, she had never interfered in their decision-making, silently playing the role of a monitor.
She naturally enjoyed seeing these guys repeatedly fail in battle. When they were almost dead, the strategic intent of the Monster Emperor would be achieved.
"Fellow Daoist, what should we do now?" Supreme Ji Yunlong, the newly appointed head of the Absolute Beginning Dao Palace, asked. His face was also pale, his vitality dim, and his luck was clearly declining. It was unknown how long he could hold on.
Beast King Chan Wuji remained silent for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can continue negotiating with them, buying time and hoping for a turning point."
Deputy Head Su Wenjin shook his head and said, "That's impossible. They won't fall for it. Perhaps for us, the most practical choice is to withdraw our troops and end this war with dignity."
Beast King Gui Long sneered, "Fellow Daoist, you think they will agree to end it with dignity? Your elders won't be willing to give up like this, right?"
Su Wenjin's expression froze, and in the end, he sighed and did not retort.
This war has been going on for a while now, and Absolute Beginning Dao Palace has already lost a significant number of high-ranking individuals. It's only a matter of time before Ji Yunlong falls, and they don't even know when it will happen.
Even if the two Transcendent Level forces are willing to not make any demands and declare a withdrawal and ceasefire, would the Female Cultivators Union Alliance agree?
In such a favorable situation, if they don't take the opportunity to tear off large chunks of flesh from both sides, then it wouldn't be their style.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm bell rang through the void. In the depths of the Beast Race camp, the shadow of a three-legged, six-eared dark golden cauldron disappeared in an instant, followed by a continuous stream of screams.
By the time Beast King Gui Long and the others came to rescue, the dark golden cauldron had already disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a large number of corpses and injured Beast Race members.
And this time, after obtaining the dark golden cauldron, it didn't flee far away. Instead, a scroll of radiant and snow-white book light flew out from it, unfolding slowly and turning into a size of billions of miles.
That was the treasure Mu Yinghua used to house the Virtuous Thought Incarnation, the Heavenly Integration Book, which possessed forty-eight layers of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions.
"Get out of the way!"
Beast King Gui Long felt his scalp tingling and shouted in alarm.
Another Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure?! And it's a type that has never been seen before. Just how many hidden tricks does the Female Cultivators Union Alliance have?
However, it was already too late. In an instant, thousands of high-level Beast Race immortals appeared on the pages of the book, and the oppressive pressure that made their blood freeze descended upon them.
The next second, including dozens of Quasi-Saint Emperors, the physical bodies of these elite Beast Race members rapidly withered, followed by their divine souls, and their vitality flowed away at a dazzling speed, with no means to stop it.
As the Heavenly Integration Book slowly closed, all these Beast Race immortals perished, without exception.
And it wasn't over yet. The shadow of the dark golden cauldron continued to shuttle and jump in the void, appearing once again in the camp of Absolute Beginning Dao Palace.
Immediately, there was another round of wailing and desperate begging for mercy, and thousands of immortals perished.
After harvesting several rounds, the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore finally left, seemingly still unsatisfied.
...
Not to mention the furious high-ranking members of the allied camp, in the main hall of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace sect, the Grand Palace Master and the others who had already returned safely were sitting together with Qin Muling, who had just come out of seclusion, drinking and discussing.
"...I think, at most a few more months, they will consider withdrawing on their own, right?"
Qin Muling, holding a wine bottle, said leisurely. Previously, he had been jointly oppressed by his senior sisters, but it seemed that it hadn't had any negative impact on him.
Or rather, with the improvement of his cultivation realm, Qin Muling was no longer afraid of the wheel battle with his senior sisters. The battles in the inner palace hall basically ended with his victory.
Unless it was his master Mu Yinghua, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, or the level of power of Emperor Roulan, he wouldn't be intimidated.
The Grand Palace Master pondered and said, "That should be the case. Anyway, we already have the upper hand, whether they withdraw sooner or later doesn't matter."
At this point, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance can be said to have won completely. No matter how unwilling they are, they can only give up their desire for Qin Muling for now and go back to recuperate.
Moreover, the Monster Emperor's Kingdom and Absolute Beginning Dao Palace also have enemies and rivals. Seeing them suffer a big loss, how could they not take the opportunity to kick them while they're down?
Furthermore, their internal power structure will also undergo a major reshuffle, and someone will definitely be held responsible for the failure of this war.
So in the coming period, the high-level members of those two major forces will be busy.
"So on our side, we should have a period of peace, right?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao asked. As long as there is no more fighting, Qin Muling can focus on cultivating with her senior sisters, steadily improving her own cultivation, and ensuring the rapid development of the sect.
"There is a high possibility, but it's not absolute."
The Grand Palace Master said. Under normal circumstances, those forces that cannot see the situation clearly should no longer exist, but there may still be ignorant fools who emerge.
"It doesn't matter. Whoever dares to cause trouble, just fight back!"
Jing Fan Tian Nü said with a smile. With such a strategic advantage in hand, they naturally have to weaken those forces of the orthodox tradition, and it would be even better if they can eliminate a few more.
Qin Muling had no objections to this. It's better to strike first and prevent a hundred strikes. With the examples of these two failed forces, any force that wants to provoke the Female Cultivators Union Alliance in the future must carefully consider the consequences.
In the next three months, the joint forces of the two Transcendent Level powers continued to fight tooth and nail.
Absolute Beginning Dao Palace mobilized all its subordinate forces in the upper realm and deployed as much power as possible to the Extreme Void Starry Sky. They called upon disciples and followers ranging from ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperors to Golden Immortals and Profound Immortals, with more than half of them being deployed.
Beast King Gui Long, Ju Mang, and Chan Wu Ji did the same. More than 70% of their adult clan members were brought over, and the adult individuals in their subordinate tribes were no exception.
However, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance no longer wanted to continue this stalemate with them, so they launched a counterattack without holding back. In just one month, the losses of the joint forces reached a shocking level, to the point where the rate of replenishing troops couldn't keep up with the rate of casualties!
Especially the significant increase in the number of fallen Quasi-Saint Emperors. In the end, the Grand Palace Master and the others specifically targeted the Quasi-Saint Emperor Monarch Level powerhouses in both camps, even those who had severed their Virtuous Thought Incarnations couldn't escape their deadly hands.
The head of Absolute Beginning Dao Palace, Ji Yun Gui, had already stepped down, and this time he was succeeded by the deputy head, Lan Qin. Moreover, his status seemed to be even greater, as he even borrowed an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure from the sect: the Primordial Origin Qiankun Qi Seal.
However, it was still of no avail.
"...This time, let's focus on the important figures of the Monster Emperor Kingdom!"
Inside the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, Qin Muling said, "Apart from the Ten-tailed Celestial Fox, none of those Beast King powerhouses that appeared on the battlefield can escape!"
"Okay, no problem. Since there have already been enough casualties among the important figures of Absolute Beginning Dao Palace, we can put that aside for now and shift our focus to the Monster Emperor Kingdom."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao agreed. The Divine Abilities of 'Luck Plunder' and 'Luck Dissipation' were really useful in dealing with these troublesome guys.
And at this time, the disheartened Gui Long finally accepted reality and decided to withdraw his troops. Absolute Beginning Dao Palace did the same.
After the news spread, the entire Extreme Void Starry Sky, including all the Transcendent Level forces in the upper realm, paid attention to it.
After all, the Monster Emperor Kingdom and Absolute Beginning Dao Palace had suffered a great deal, with countless casualties, but they had not achieved any decent results. It was simply a shame in the Transcendent Level power circle!
On the other hand, the prestige and influence of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, especially Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, had greatly increased.
The Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, the Heavenly Integration Book, the Primordial Origin Sword Box, and the Purple Gold Gourd, these four Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures had all been revealed, along with the undeniable Three Corpse Unified Harmony cultivation of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao. Therefore, in the eyes of many, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had also become a member of the Transcendent Level power circle.
