Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 621 - 595: Struggling on the Verge of Death_1
"It’s over!"
"Unexpectedly, the Eternal Temple was routed!"
"Next, I’m afraid the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty will attack the ’Infinite Cliff’..."
Countless Martial Artists among the spectators gradually withdrew their gazes and began to contemplate the implications of this battle. Both the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty and the Eternal Temple were continental hegemonic powers, and the outcome of their battle would directly influence the continent’s future. Whichever side won would become the sole ruler of the continent!
...
「The Ninth Heaven Saint’s Court!」
Oriental Wudao, who was lost in thought while sitting in his chair, suddenly looked up. He saw a dragon shadow fly out from a crack in the Void before him, hovering in mid-air. A few moments later, the dragon shadow dissipated, revealing a red invitation suffused with an imperial aura that seemed to suppress heaven and earth.
This is...
Puzzled, Oriental Wudao opened the invitation and scanned it hastily, his expression suddenly changing.
"Ancestor, what is this?"
At that moment, the preoccupied Eastern Emperor pushed open the door. Seeing the invitation in Oriental Wudao’s hand, he was secretly shocked and hurriedly asked.
"In two days, Qin Wudao invites me to the ’Infinite Cliff’ to discuss important matters!" Oriental Wudao put down the invitation, his brow deeply furrowed.
"What?" The Eastern Emperor was greatly shocked. After a long pause, he said worriedly, "I’m afraid this is a trap!"
"Indeed! A feast like this is never good news."
"But I can’t refuse it!" Oriental Wudao looked bitter. A normal person wouldn’t host a banquet outside the ’Infinite Cliff’; it was clearly a gesture with profound hidden meaning. He wanted to refuse. But he didn’t dare! He had only lived for several hundreds of millions of years and hadn’t lived nearly enough! He was certain that if he refused, only destruction awaited the Ninth Heaven Saint’s Court. Only by attending the banquet could he hope for a sliver of survival.
...
「Saintly Clan of the Gu family!」
Since I received an invitation, I presume the other sacred lands have received them too! Emperor Qin, what exactly are you planning? Could it be that you intend to unify the continent while attacking the Eternal Temple?
On a beautiful Spirit Mountain, Gu Tian stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking towards the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty. His expression constantly changed, shifting between worry, relief, and even a trace of resistance.
...
On this day, sacred lands such as the Earth Treasury Academy, the Lingdan Saintly Clan, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Laws, the Linglong Saintly Land, the Ice and Snow Saint’s Court, and the Star Constellation Pavilion all received invitations. This threw the masters of all these sacred lands into a state of panic and unease. They stared at the festive invitations in their hands as if facing a demon. What would the situation be like in two days?
Of course, there was one exception: the Alliance of Ten Thousand Laws. As Qin Wudao’s sworn brother, Churen Jie made his decision immediately upon receiving the invitation. Far from worried, he was actually somewhat excited.
...
Meanwhile, inside the ’Infinite Cliff’, silence reigned. More than a hundred thousand disciples of the Eternal Temple hid within the black qi, waiting solemnly, ready to live or die with the Eternal Temple.
Who would have thought that in just over a decade, the once-humble Qin Empire has now become the continent’s foremost power!
Father Emperor, forgive your son; I cannot avenge you!
I hate this! Oh, how I hate it!
Among the various figures in black robes, a slender young man with an imperial aura clenched his fists, roaring in his heart. A dense hatred burned in his eyes. This young man was Minglong, Master of the Light God Divine Court and an early enemy of Qin Wudao. When the Qin army breached the imperial palace, he had been rescued by an expert from the Eternal Temple. He became a disciple of the Eternal Temple and cultivated to this day, possessing the cultivation of the Ninth-Turn Saint King Realm. But the path to vengeance was still very, very long.
Turning to the central main hall, ’Jie’ and Emperor Soul Sky sat facing each other. A mysterious formation was laid out around them, as if they were conducting some special ceremony.
"’Jie’ looked at Emperor Soul Sky and asked again, "Are you sure about this? Forcibly increasing your strength this time won’t cost you your talent, but your lifespan!"
"Master, this is a critical moment for the ’Supreme One’s cultivation, and also a moment of life and death for the Eternal Temple. Someone must make a sacrifice!" Emperor Soul Sky said, his eyes closed, his expression solemn, and his tone firm. "I am the Master of the Eternal Temple. I have striven for nine eras, developing the Eternal Temple from nothing to its current state. I cannot stand by and watch it be destroyed. This is my mission! As a subordinate, everything I have was bestowed by you, Master, and even more so by the ’Supreme One’. Even if I were to die ten thousand deaths, I would have no regrets!"
To win, he would pay any price! Just like the last time when he sacrificed his talent to forcibly enhance his strength to defeat Jade Zun. This time was no different. The Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty was pressing hard. Although they were already in a dire situation, he still had to fight with all his might to defeat Qin Wudao.
It’s just lifespan! So what if it’s gone! As long as the Eternal Temple still stands, as long as my renown continues to spread across the continent, as long as our side emerges as the final victor, then everything is worth it.
"Alright!" ’Jie’ nodded. "When the ’Supreme One’ emerges from seclusion, I will request a commendation for your deeds!"
He then began to operate the formation beneath him. It pulsed with a scarlet light, adding an eerie touch to the dimly lit hall. This formation was a type of forbidden array. It was created by a madman in the Middle Primordial Era and could convert one’s own possessions—such as talent, Fortune, lifespan, soul power, and more—into cultivation through the formation. Once converted, that aspect would be permanently lost. It was somewhat akin to the legendary sacrificial rituals.
’Jie’ intoned solemnly, "Lifespan—be stripped!"
His expression was grave as he channeled the full power of the formation into Emperor Soul Sky’s body. It was as if an invisible hand was stripping away his elusive lifespan. In the blink of an eye, Emperor Soul Sky transformed from a middle-aged man into an old man with white hair and a face deeply etched with wrinkles. At this moment, a green ball of light materialized within the formation.
"GO!" ’Jie’ flicked his finger, sending the light ball into Emperor Soul Sky’s body.
Instantly, Emperor Soul Sky’s strength surged, like a dam bursting, unstoppable. He broke through several realms consecutively: Middle-Phase Semi-Immortal Realm! Late-Phase Semi-Immortal Realm... Finally, his cultivation stabilized at the Peak of the Semi-Immortal Realm!
The terrifying aura completely annihilated the Void within the hall. Even the formations arranged around the hall were distorted, on the verge of shattering at any moment. And this was merely the aftershock of his breakthrough.
No wonder the ’Supreme One’ considers this formation forbidden, even willing to send down heavenly tribulations to destroy it. It truly is terrifying!
Facing Emperor Soul Sky’s explosive increase in cultivation, even ’Jie’ felt a wave of pressure. He reminded him in a solemn tone, "I’ve left you with ten years of lifespan. During this time, the ’Supreme One’ should be able to find a way to extend it. Cultivate and consolidate your newfound strength. Wait until the Qin army attacks before you make your move!"
With these words, ’Jie’ stood up and hurriedly departed, leaving Emperor Soul Sky alone, sitting cross-legged in the main hall. His gray-white hair drifted without a wind, like a dormant tiger, ready to awaken and unleash a devastating attack at any moment.
On the other side, after leaving the main hall, ’Jie’ did not remain idle. He once again reinforced the defensive formations. When everything was done, he stood quietly before the mountain gate, awaiting the arrival of the Qin army.
