Chapter 1503: On the Eve of the Great Battle
Chapter 1503: Chapter 1503: On the Eve of the Great Battle
A month later, the news of the destruction of the True Yang Sect gradually spread throughout the All Paths World.
The True Yang Sect, in the All Paths World, was also an ancient sect with deep foundations. Under normal circumstances, two God Emperor level powerhouses attacking the headquarters of the True Yang Sect would almost never succeed. Although the True Yang Sect didn’t have a God Emperor stronghold, the sect had as many as seven Divine Sovereign level strong people.
The Sect Master of True Yang Sect, Zhuang Yan, was killed by Jing Yan, but the sect still had six Supreme Elders at the Divine Sovereign level. These six people controlled the sect’s Guardian Array, easily fending off attacks from two God Emperor level strong people.
The problem was that Jing Yan was a Holy Alchemist.
The powerful Guardian Array’s effectiveness was greatly reduced before Jing Yan. It took Jing Yan less than half a month to break down most of the True Yang Sect’s Guardian Array. By this time, the senior members of the True Yang Sect knew that the sect couldn’t withstand Jing Yan and Chuo Yan, the two Divine Emperors.
Though Jing Yan had not yet stepped into the God Emperor level, since the news that he single-handedly seized Star Tower City spread, almost everyone believed he was already a God Emperor level strong person. Even many elders of the All Paths Sacred Land believed so.
Seeing that they couldn’t resist Jing Yan and Chuo Yan, the senior members of the True Yang Sect negotiated with Jing Yan, the Saint Master of the All Paths Sacred Land. Jing Yan set one condition: dissolve the True Yang Sect, allowing its martial artists to leave at will or join the All Paths Sacred Land. This condition was like pulling the rug out from under them, and the senior members of the True Yang Sect outright refused.
The great battle began immediately after.
After Jing Yan and Chuo Yan killed two Divine Sovereigns and multiple Emperor God Masters, the True Yang Sect relented. They also attempted to seek help from the Wanbao Divine Hall and other forces, but unfortunately, they didn’t get the results they wanted.
The True Yang Sect disbanded; most martial artists dispersed, while a few chose to join the All Paths Sacred Land. These martial artists who joined the All Paths Sacred Land returned to Star Tower City with Jing Yan and Chuo Yan.
The once-prosperous True Yang Sect vanished like smoke and would gradually be forgotten in the history of the All Paths World.
Regarding the All Paths Sacred Land’s defeat of the True Yang Sect, there was no idle chatter in the All Paths World.
If the All Paths Sacred Land attacked and destroyed the True Yang Sect for no reason, it might have been a different story. In that case, it could have led to many forces in the All Paths World uniting against the All Paths Sacred Land, fearing that they would be treated the same way as the True Yang Sect.
However, the All Paths Sacred Land’s attack on the True Yang Sect was justified, as the True Yang Sect had previously used deceit to kill Supreme Elder Ruo Bing of the All Paths Sacred Land. The All Paths Sacred Land’s retaliation against the True Yang Sect was reasonable, and who could argue against it?
Thus, the other six First-class Forces maintained a tacit silence about this matter and ignored the True Yang Sect’s plea for help.
Nevertheless, their silence did not diminish the shock caused by the rapid fall of the major sect, True Yang Sect, in just over half a month.
The successive events put the entire All Paths World in a strange atmosphere.
Especially since Saint Master Jing Yan took action twice, first reclaiming Star Tower City from the Wanbao Divine Hall single-handedly, then, together with Chuo Yan Divine Emperor, destroying the True Yang Sect.
These two events showcased the immense power of Saint Master Jing Yan to countless martial artists in the All Paths World. Many believe that Saint Master Jing Yan might indeed lead the All Paths Sacred Land to defeat the Wanbao Divine Hall and regain control of the All Paths World.
In cities across the All Paths World and every remote corner, martial artists were never short of discussions about these events.
And some strong individuals were eager to make their move. For the strong, the upcoming major battle between the All Paths Sacred Land and Wanbao Divine Hall, though dangerous, is also a unique opportunity.
...
After returning to Star Tower City, Jing Yan had Elder Su He announce a message to the outside world.
The content of the message was simple.
The All Paths Sacred Land would hire strong individuals to serve. An Emperor level God Master fighting for the All Paths Sacred Land would immediately receive ten Heavenly Pills. A Divine Sovereign level God Master would receive fifty Heavenly Pills for their service. As for God Emperor strong people, the reward would be discussed face to face.
In the battle against the Wanbao Divine Hall, killing a Wanbao Divine Hall’s Emperor God Master would earn a Yunhe Pill as a reward. One could choose any of the five types: Sharp Gold, Red Flame, etc., as a reward. Killing a Divine Sovereign level God Master would earn a set of five Yunhe Pills. Killing a God Emperor level God Master would earn a customized reward.
After this message was released by the All Paths Sacred Land, the entire All Paths World was once again in an uproar.
Such rewards undeniably tempted countless martial artists. Even those old folks hidden in remote corners who almost never showed themselves couldn’t resist coming out to fight for the All Paths Sacred Land.
Of course, the Wanbao Divine Hall wasn’t idle either. The Master of Wanbao Divine Hall, Wanbao Daoist, was a Holy Alchemist. Although he had not yet developed the pill formula for the Yunhe Pill, he still had many top-level Divine Pills at his disposal.
The All Paths Sacred Land hired strong individuals with Elixirs, and the Wanbao Divine Hall immediately followed suit to recruit strong individuals for their service.
Wanbao Daoist was genuinely infuriated by Jing Yan.
In fact, at the start, Wanbao Daoist didn’t pay much attention to this young man Jing Yan. It wasn’t until Jing Yan killed the Heaven Pavilion Master Tu Cheng that Wanbao Daoist truly focused on him.
Later, Jing Yan single-handedly seized Star Tower City, killed two Divine Sovereign level strong people of the Wanbao Divine Hall, and even Tu Yang Divine Emperor had no choice but to return to Wanbao Divine Hall. This incident made Wanbao Daoist regard Jing Yan as a major threat.
He realized that the advantages held by his Wanbao Divine Hall were gradually eroding. If things went wrong, they might indeed be toppled by the All Paths Sacred Land led by Jing Yan.
He immediately issued a series of orders to make the entire Wanbao Divine Hall operate at a high speed.
The All Paths Sacred Land had already declared war on the Wanbao Divine Hall, and a large-scale battle could erupt at any moment. Before this big battle, both sides were striving to enhance their strength as much as possible.
Day by day, time passed.
Since the All Paths Sacred Land declared war on the Wanbao Divine Hall, there had often been skirmishes between members of these two forces. However, the scale of these skirmishes was usually small, and at worst, only a few regular God Masters were involved.
Before the large-scale battle, both sides seemed to have reached a relatively balanced state, constantly testing each other.
A full-scale war requires many resources for preparation. First and foremost, Elixirs must be adequately stocked, especially Elixirs for healing and those to boost a martial artist’s Divine Power in a short time. In a large-scale battle, the consumption of these two kinds of Elixirs is sure to be enormous.
Relatively speaking, the All Paths Sacred Land was far inferior to the Wanbao Divine Hall in this regard. The Wanbao Divine Hall managed to grow to a point of dominating the All Paths Sacred Land, primarily due to its formidable Elixir capabilities. Under Wanbao Daoist’s command, there was a terrifying Alchemy Team.
