Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 319: The Demon Court’s Scheme
Ji Xuan’s words were not opposed by the other high-level members.
Spread faith.
Divide the power of the Taiyuan Realm.
This was already a method used in the battle of the Immortal Extinction Realm.
Moreover, facts have proven.
Such means are completely without issue.
As long as the faith in the Divine Emperor is thoroughly spread, even if it can’t completely divide the power of the Taiyuan Realm, it can still have a certain effect.
However,
This approach is not completely without downsides.
In the past battle of the Immortal Extinction Realm, many cultivators left the Divine Kingdom chat group at a critical moment and turned to the embrace of the Immortal Extinction Realm.
As a result,
The Divine Kingdom’s store inadvertently nurtured quite a few enemies.
Of course,
Everything has a double-edged nature.
Compared to other disadvantages, the advantages are also very obvious.
"Spreading the faith of the Divine Emperor is one aspect, and moreover, the Taiyuan Realm has quite a few eighth-level experts, but so far, there has been no sight of ninth-level experts.
It could be that, like the Immortal Extinction Realm, the Taiyuan Realm has the so-called Longevity Shackles, making it difficult to easily break through to the ninth level.
Or it could be that the difficulty in breaking through to the ninth level is enormous, or perhaps the Taiyuan Realm once experienced a great war where ninth-level experts were entirely wiped out, all these speculations are possible.
But regardless, the Taiyuan Realm is resource-rich, and it’s primarily focused on immortal cultivation, so there should be plentiful resources related to cultivation in this world.
Now that we have established an initial foothold, we can first let some people infiltrate the Taiyuan Realm to see if they can find any opportunities."
"Additionally, we must hasten the setup of arrays, even though we pushed back the Taiyuan Realm this time, it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t make a comeback.
If we have the support of arrays, we’ll inherently have the advantage!"
Finally, Gu Fang added a sentence.
Yang Yan, Shangguan Hong, and the other elders naturally had no objections.
Array Masters.
This is not scarce in the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
Although arrays and alchemy are considered unconventional paths and are not as admired as the grand path of cultivation, and an obsession with such paths can delay one’s own cultivation.
But regardless,
There are always some who love to study these things.
Thus,
The Cyan Yang Divine Court has quite a number of Array Masters.
It’s just that this path of cultivation is not easy, as of now, the strongest Array Master in the Divine Court is at the peak of the sixth level, capable of setting up defense arrays to withstand those below the seventh level.
Arrays of this level are not particularly strong, but they cannot be considered weak.
At least,
With the protection of arrays, Cyan Yang Divine Court gains a bit more confidence.
...
"How much did our Demon Court lose in this battle?"
In the city belonging to the Demon Court, the face of Vermilion Ape was gloomy, beneath him sat several Demon Saints.
Upon hearing his question,
One of the Demon Saints said, "Reporting to Half-Emperor Vermilion Ape, in this battle, our Demon Court lost one Demon Saint and about twenty-one True Monarchs, and those below True Monarch suffered losses of roughly 130,000."
"Bang!"
Upon hearing this, Vermilion Ape slammed his palm heavily, and the armrest of the chair instantly turned to powder.
Severe losses!
This battle truly cost the Demon Court dearly.
Losing one Demon Saint aside, over a hundred thousand cultivators fell.
One must know,
All these fallen cultivators were the elite of the Demon Court.
Such a large loss of elites, while not enough to shake the foundation of the Demon Court, still posed a significant impact.
More importantly,
Vermilion Ape himself was also seriously injured.
Originally, he was evenly matched with Daoist Taifeng, but at a critical moment, a top-tier seventh-level expert attacked him with a self-detonation method.
Caught off guard,
Vermilion Ape was severely injured when Daoist Taifeng seized the opportunity.
Had it not been for his underlying strength, he would have been among the fallen eighth-level experts in this battle.
Thinking of this,
Vermilion Ape coldly said, "How much contribution did our Demon Court gain from this battle?"
"According to statistics, the battle yielded roughly a trillion in total contributions!"
The ancient Demon Saint truthfully replied.
A trillion contributions!
Hearing this number, Vermilion Ape’s expression eased slightly.
A trillion contributions.
If piled onto a single cultivator, it would be enough to forcibly elevate them to the eighth level.
However,
This trillion of contributions does not belong to Vermilion Ape himself; it belongs to the tens of thousands of cultivators in the Demon Court.
A trillion contributions may sound like a lot, but when divided equally, each person’s share isn’t particularly abundant.
Still, the trillion gained contributions means the lives of the over a hundred thousand fallen cultivators were not lost in vain.
"The Taiyuan Realm is vast, and a trillion contributions is just the beginning. We might find an opportunity for the Dao of the Great Emperor within this realm. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Pass on my order, instructing all cultivators to quickly convert their contributions into personal strength to prepare for the upcoming battles!"
Finally, Vermilion Ape commanded.
Upon hearing this, the other ancient Demon Saints showed slight changes in their expressions: "The Taiyuan Realm just retreated, surely it wouldn’t dare strike again so soon!"
In their view, although the Demon Court suffered significant losses this time, the Taiyuan Realm didn’t fare any better.
Normally,
The Taiyuan Realm wouldn’t deploy forces again in the short term.
Vermilion Ape sneered, "Who said it would be the Taiyuan Realm attacking, isn’t it possible for us to attack the Taiyuan Realm instead?"
"Half-Emperor Vermilion Ape, do you mean?"
"Just as you have perceived, the Divine Court and Taiyuan Realm have both been severely wounded, each recuperating and unlikely to rashly start a conflict again.
I plan to take advantage of this psyche in the Taiyuan Realm, sweeping through other sects with a thunderous force.
If we can subjugate all these sects, it would mean an extremely rich contribution."
Vermilion Ape’s confidence was brimming, his eyes glinting with a sharp killing intent.
He doesn’t have the habit of taking a hit without striking back.
This battle cost the Demon Court dearly, and Vermilion Ape was determined to regain its ground.
Moreover,
The trillion contributions reaped in this battle made Vermilion Ape realize that war is the quickest way to amass contributions.
He had been stuck in the late Quasi-Emperor stage for too long, and to break through to the peak Quasi-Emperor, he must rely on the power of the Divine Kingdom store.
Especially after the battle with Daoist Taifeng, which made Vermilion Ape aware of his own shortcomings in strength.
If he had been at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor stage, how would it matter even if Daoist Taifeng had the aid of a Quasi-Emperor’s Divine Soldier? He would still have been confident in suppressing him.
So,
Vermilion Ape now desperately wanted to enhance himself.
Even if he couldn’t break through to the peak Quasi-Emperor stage, he must gather sufficient contributions to exchange for a Supreme Treasure that suits him.
But no matter which direction he chooses, a vast amount of contributions will be consumed.
Currently, the easiest way to gather contributions is to wage war.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court and Taiyuan Realm have already torn their faces, and if the Demon Court could destroy some of the sect forces in the Taiyuan Realm, it could also weaken the living power of this realm.
More importantly,
The Cyan Yang Divine Court now presents itself to the outside world as recuperating.
At this time, if the Demon Court strikes with thunderous momentum, there is a high probability they can wipe out several sects without much resistance.
From whichever angle it’s viewed, it’s a very suitable time for the Demon Court to take action.
This is why Vermilion Ape decided to make a move.
After hearing his words, the other Demon Saints pondered briefly and nodded in agreement.
"Attention, do not let even a whisper of this battle’s plans leak out!"
Lastly, Vermilion Ape cautioned, and the other Demon Saints rose to take their leave.
