Chapter 772: Chapter 716 Preparations Before the Dark Night Siege_2
Among them were Supreme Holy Realm Kings, comparable in strength to True Kings, who set out escorted by a multitude of Heavenly Pride talents of commander level. They led numerous chosen talents through the four quarters, steamrolling over countless bandit lairs and slaughtering untold numbers of bandits, their blood staining miles upon miles.
Even from dozens to hundreds of miles away, they gazed upon Dark Night Ancient City.
If it were not for the extraordinary spiritual senses of those Holy Realm Kings, who could feel the uncanniness of Dark Night City, with rising tides of blood qi unfurling continuously within and terrifying qi mechanisms churning and spreading wantonly in all directions, if not for the old city swallowing up the radiance of sun, moon, and stars, looking so remarkable beyond the ordinary world, they might have prematurely launched a siege on Dark Night City.
Ultimately, the Holy Realm Kings all retreated, not lingering in that place.
Within the interior region of Stealing Heaven Plain, there were scenes of desolate bloodshed and fire battles, intensely savage and fierce.
This had never been seen before.
Bandits had roamed the barren Stealing Heaven Plain for countless years but had never encountered such devastating battles. It seemed as if the entire world was setting itself against Stealing Heaven Plain. Endless flames and smoke shot to the skies, with the smog of battle everywhere, a terrifying sight to behold.
This time, Stealing Heaven Plain was caught completely off guard by the heavy onslaught. By the time it reacted, despite the myriad bandits within it, countless had died or been wounded, losing at least twenty percent of their fighting force. Many bandits were caught unawares and slain, their blood spraying three feet high.
At the last moment, thirteen of the top Heroic Lord Level Great Bandits among the Twenty-four Great Bandits appeared personally. Even the Saint Master and the most formidable Old Immortals set forth, materializing on the wasteland. Using their most potent means, they personally beheaded a number of Heavenly Pride talents, hanging their heads on the gates of various ancient cities.
They also led armies of bandits to chase down the talents of Ten Thousand Realms, initiating a dreadful clash.
Naturally, the forces of the Great Bandits, having Super Expert Saints, were exceptionally formidable and invincible.
Those Great Bandits, ranked within the Twenty-four, were at least Supreme Ancient Saints. There were also Heroic Lords, even Saints, Old Immortals at the Absolute Peak; who could contend, unstoppable by any.
Only a few Holy Realm Kings from the talents of Ten Thousand Realms could match them, while the Invincible True Kings, almost never revealing themselves, entered various Ancient Cities to watch from the sidelines, no matter how the talents of Dragon Phoenix Academy invited them, they did not move.
The Twenty-four Great Bandits knew not to provoke these True Kings, never startling them, nor willing to make enemies of them.
Therefore, even though the bandits of Stealing Heaven Plain had the upper hand, the talents of Ten Thousand Realms would swiftly avoid confrontation with a Heroic Lord Level Great Bandit leading the army, daring not to encounter them head-on, much like engaging in guerrilla warfare.
Having already suffered heavy losses due to the joint expulsion by the Twenty-four Great Bandits, the talents of Dragon Phoenix Academy paid a dire price. Many paid the ultimate price, leaving their lives on this wasteland.
And these talents of Ten Thousand Realms, qualified to be selected into Dragon Phoenix Academy, each were true paragons among people, not lacking extraordinary methods bestowed by their elders, especially in escaping to save their lives, astounding and dumbfounding the Twenty-four Great Bandits of Stealing Heaven Plain. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Often, before even beginning a real chase, those talents of Ten Thousand Realms would escape far beyond sight, fleeing as far as possible, even leaving Stealing Heaven Plain altogether, disappearing into peaceful regions.
Were it not for the fear of provoking Dragon Phoenix Academy, a frightful behemoth, otherwise, against other Undying Sacred Lands, these Great Bandits might have surged forward to attack directly.
Because of this, even though Stealing Heaven Plain held the upper hand, they were helpless to pursue further.
The vital forces of Dragon Phoenix Academy’s talents were preserved.
More importantly, from relevant important channels, he received critical news.
Some Heavenly Pride talents were contacting the various major Mercenary Groups in the peaceful regions, even preparing to spend a vast amount of Spirit Stones to invite various powerful forces to join the siege on Dark Night City. They intended to assist the thousands of talents of Dragon Phoenix Academy in the siege, to harass the bandit side, and to increase their success rate.
Some had even begun to invite terrifyingly powerful figures from other regions to join the battle. At that time, at least five Saint-level Heroic Lords would come to help, including the presence of true Saint Masters. Supreme Ancient Weapons were also invited to contain the Heavenly King Old Antiques within Dark Night Ancient City.
Every one of the Heavenly Prides was mobilizing their own terrifying energies, and behind them, the powers that be, eager for them to snatch the quota to enter the Ancient Divine Domain, didn’t dare to act blatantly under the watchful eye of the Dragon Phoenix Academy. Yet they spared no effort in secretly assisting them in the competition.
Even a rumor had it that an Immortal Sacred Land had mobilized one of its most dreadful Immortal Ancient Weapons, secretly handing it over to a top-notch talent of the Ten Thousand Realms, to be used in the Dark Night city siege.
Once this news broke, it caused an uproar, even all the True Kings were shocked and disturbed.
Such Immortal Ancient Weapons were the most secret treasures of a major Holy Land, necessary to suppress their heritage and not to be mobilized lightly. Yet now, they had been summoned to participate in the Dark Night city siege, which was indeed astonishing.
However, some came forward to debunk the rumor, suggesting that it was not a real Immortal Ancient Weapon but at best a replica or even a Heavenly King Level Dao Ancient Weapon.
Although the rumors were somewhat exaggerated, it was conceivable that some top talents really did have the qualifications to wield an Immortal Ancient Weapon.
And while some forces had not yet reached that stage, they too had sent out Forbidden Secret Treasures. Even if they couldn’t compare to an Immortal Ancient Weapon, their role at critical moments was not inferior at all, capable of unleashing power that exceeded the conventional.
All these efforts were solely to contend for the quota to enter the Ancient Divine Domain through the Dark Night city siege.
For this Dark Night city siege, even if that Heavenly King Old Antique really could act without limits, whether he could withstand the assault from those Forbidden Artifacts and Immortal Ancient Weapons was indeed questionable.
Upon hearing the news, Ye Chen was surprised by the extraordinariness of the Ancient Divine Domain. The use of Immortal Ancient Weapons, which suppressed a force’s heritage, made sense when considering that it contained the inheritance of Emperor Supreme Saint.
After all, it was a Supreme Inheritance of an Emperor and Royal Family, taught by Emperor Supreme Saint who had nurtured the mythic Twin Kings. Even the currently dominant Supreme Emperor and Royal Family were merely looking down upon the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms without fear of the Human Emperor by relying on the immortal inheritance left by their ancestors.
Yet his intuition told him that things wouldn’t be so simple. It was an intuition that came from being a Combat Saint, exceptionally keen and often able to perceive omens in the dark.
"You? What will you do?"
Ye Chen turned to Wang Tian, wanting to know his plans.
Wang Tian shook his head with a bitter smile. Now, he was no longer considered a Great Bandit. Everyone knew that he had submitted to the Combat Saint King, so in the Dark Night city siege, he would be seen as an enemy by the bandits, inevitably attacked if he came.
"If there’s a chance, I will take you with me into the Ancient Divine Domain," Ye Chen said, patting his shoulder and offering the promise.
Soon after, an invitation was respectfully delivered to Wind Sky City. Upon opening it, someone was inviting the Combat Saint King to a gathering of the younger generation, with the main purpose of rallying the various forces to attack the Dark Night Ancient City together.
Of course, the invitation was most respectful, their words incredibly polite, expressing hope that the Combat Saint King would attend this grand discussion, where a limited number of commanding figures would be decided upon. The stronger one was, the more entitled they were to command.
"On the surface, they want to unify the forces for a siege, but the real planners of this gathering probably have ill intentions. They want to use me, the strongest of my generation, as their sharpest weapon, to exert the greatest effort in the siege. Then they can reap the benefits, entering the Dark Night City with ease to grab their spot."
Ye Chen chuckled coldly, his eyes sparking with a cold light. With his index and middle finger pinching the invitation, a flash of Glazed Gold Fire appeared, instantly turning it into a cloud of ash, disregarding it completely.
At this stage, how many could really contend with his presence?
A True King?
No, not even them.
He stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance at the Dark Night Ancient City, about to be engulfed in endless war, his eyes taking on a profound depth...
