Chapter 384: Remarkable Results
Everything was ready.
The Indescribable Supreme of the Divine Thunder Sect, the Unnameable Supreme of the Dark Moon Holy Land, and the Bizarre Supreme of the Fuyao Sect began their “escape,” bursting out of the chaotic void zone.
“You three cowardly Supremes, where do you think you’re running to?”
“Die!”
Time Supreme, the Supreme of the Blazing Flame Sect, the Supreme of the Divine Flower Palace, and three newly ascended Supremes who were roaring like injured beasts gave chase.
Time Supreme unleashed strands of temporal divine chains that pierced through the three fleeing Supremes of the Divine Thunder Sect camp, leaving horrifying wounds and siphoning away their life spans!
Each strike from the Supreme of the Blazing Flame Sect was imbued with blazing true flames, scorching the bodies of the three Supremes until they turned blackened and charred!
Despite her saintly demeanor, the Supreme of the Divine Flower Palace was no less ruthless. She lifted the massive lotus platform beneath her and began mercilessly smashing it down upon the three Supremes of the Divine Thunder Sect camp!
The three Supremes from Divine Thunder Sect camp felt a chill run down their spines. It almost felt as though this wasn’t just an act – they truly seemed intent on killing them!
The Supreme-level experts from the various top-tier factions watched with bated breath.
“Didn’t the three Supremes from the Divine Thunder Sect camp just join forces with the five Supremes from the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury camp to use the Eight Wilderness Battle Technique provided by the Shui family? Didn’t they have the upper hand? How could they suddenly turn tail and flee in defeat?”
“It seems that the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands managed to counter the Eight Wilderness Battle Technique . They turned the tables and emerged victorious!”
“What about the five Supremes from Heaven’s Sacred Land’s Treasury camp? Why haven’t they come out yet?”
“They’ve been gone for so long… I’m afraid things don’t look good for them.”
“Hiss!”
After piecing together the battle that had unfolded within the chaotic void, the top-tier factions couldn’t help but draw in sharp breaths of shock. They couldn’t help but marvel at the overwhelming strength of the six Supremes from the camp of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands.
Six against eight-and yet they turned defeat into victory!
Moreover, among the six Supremes of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands Camp, three were newly ascended and not particularly strong, making them negligible in terms of combat power. This meant that the main force responsible for defeating the combined might of the eight Supremes from the Divine Thunder Sect and the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury camps consisted only of the Time Supreme, the Supreme of the Blazing Flame Sect, and the Supreme of the Divine Flower Palace. Essentially, it was three Supremes defeating eight!
“Stop!”
“We admit defeat!”
The three Supremes of the Divine Thunder Sect came to a halt, each one grievously wounded, their faces pale and their figures swaying unsteadily. They had very little fight left in them.
Bai Luohe sneered coldly. “Now you’re willing to accept the conditions we set forth for the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands? The Divine Thunder Sect will cede one exclusive cultivation resource zone fit for Supreme. The Dark Moon Holy Land and the Fuyao Sect will each cede two exclusive cultivation zones capable of producing Metamorphosis Elixir!”
Time Supreme added, “And each faction must hand over five top-tier alchemists.”
O… Xu Lian was deeply moved by how meticulously the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands handled these matters. He even felt a fleeting urge to pledge his life to them.
The three Supremes from the Divine Thunder Sect camp clenched their teeth in anguish. To “save their lives,” they reluctantly handed over the resources and alchemists demanded by the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands.
This outcome left the elders, disciples, and followers of the Divine Thunder Sect, the Dark Moon Holy Land, and the Fuyao Sect utterly disheartened and demoralized. Their three Supremes had joined forces with the five Supremes of the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury and even employed the Eight Wilderness Battle Technique . They had been confident that they could crush the camp of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands. But this was the result!
To lose one exclusive cultivation zone of Supreme-level and four zones capable of producing Metamorphosis Elixir was akin to losing the entirety of a major faction’s assets. The losses were catastrophic. Undoubtedly, the Divine Thunder Sect camp would face hard times ahead!
As for the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands, they naturally accepted everything without hesitation.
Next
The camp of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands advanced toward the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury, the Kaiyuan Sect, and the Divine Wind Valley, laying siege to their territories!
The arrival of the Six Supremes brought an overwhelming pressure that shook the very foundation of these factions.
The elders, disciples, and followers of the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury, the Kaiyuan Sect, and the Divine Wind Valley were on the verge of collapse. Panic spread like wildfire, and chaos erupted everywhere like ants scattering from a disturbed nest.
The descendants and relatives of the five Supremes were especially grief-stricken, with tears streaming down their faces.
“Ancestors…”
“How could this happen…”
Among these three top-tier powers, Divine Wind Valley was undoubtedly the one that suffered the most. Having lost all of their Supremes, they were left leaderless. The Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury and the Kaiyuan Sect, at least, each still had one Supreme remaining.
Bai Luohe showed no mercy. “The Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury, Kaiyuan Sect, and Divine Wind Valley must each cede one exclusive cultivation resource zone of Supreme-level!”
Time Supreme added once more, “And each faction must hand over five top-tier alchemists.”
Xu Lian was overwhelmed with emotion, feeling an almost irresistible urge to pledge his life to the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands right then and there.
The lone remaining Supreme of Heaven’s Treasury Sacred Land roared in anger, “You killed my master! One day, we will settle this score with the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands! And you dare to ask me to give up an exclusive cultivation area? Never!”
The remaining Supreme of the Kaiyuan Sect was equally enraged. “Withdraw immediately, or we will unleash the full weight of our sect’s hidden strength to fight you to the death!”
As for the Divine Wind Valley, no one spoke. Without a Supreme to lead them, they had no voice in the matter.
Time Supreme’s tone turned icy. “The Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands have always maintained peaceful relations with your three factions. Yet, the five Supremes from your factions joined forces with the three Supremes from the Divine Thunder Sect to attack us. We defeated and killed them, and they deserved their fate. Even now, you dare to speak so arrogantly? If you wish to reveal your hidden strength, then so be it! Let us see the true foundation of your sect!
If your hidden strength proves insufficient, know this: your three factions will cease to exist in this world. You will be wiped out without a trace!”
An eerie silence fell over the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury, the Kaiyuan Sect, and the Divine Wind Valley.
A silence as deep as death itself!
Unleashing their hidden power was not something to be taken lightly. Even if they managed to repel the Six Supremes of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands, exposing their sects’ deepest secrets would mean that their downfall was inevitable. Once their hidden strengths were revealed to the world, any faction with greater reserves could easily crush them. This was the terrible consequence of exposing one’s foundation.
The Supreme-level experts from the various top-tier factions watching from afar were thrilled. Since the Strange Era began, had there ever been such a spectacle where multiple top-tier factions were forced to reveal their hidden strengths?
Not just one faction, but three at the same time!
If it turned out that the hidden strengths of the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury, the Kaiyuan Sect, and the Divine Wind Valley were insufficient, the Supremes of the other top-tier factions would swarm in like sharks drawn to blood. They would tear apart and divide the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury, the Kaiyuan Sect, and the Divine Wind Valley, leaving nothing behind-not even scraps!
The fate awaiting these three factions would be brutal…
All of their cultivation resources would be looted and become fodder for the other top-tier factions.
All their cultivation techniques would be confiscated and added to the libraries of the stronger factions.
Their disciples and members would be taken away. Those with high cultivation levels, like Quasi-Supremes, Sages, and those at the Origin Tracing Realm, would be used as cauldrons.
Female disciples with good talents and bloodlines would be used for breeding or entertainment. Male students with promising potential would become slaves.
This was the merciless reality of the power struggle between the top factions. For the losers, such was the cruel fate that awaited them.
After much hesitation, the remaining Supreme of Heaven’s Treasury Sacred Land and the remaining Supreme of the Kaiyuan Sect ultimately lacked the courage to unleash their hidden strength. With bleeding hearts, they reluctantly ceded one exclusive cultivation zone of Supreme-level and handed over five top-tier alchemists each to the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands in order to quell the conflict.
As for Divine Wind Valley, which had no Supremes left, they had no choice but to comply as well.
“Retreat.”
After accepting these spoils of war, Time Supreme gave the order.
The Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands returned triumphant, their gains immense, and their victory resounding!
Including the “tributes” from the Divine Thunder Sect camp, the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands had acquired a total of four exclusive cultivation zones of Supreme-level, four zones capable of producing Metamorphosis Elixir, and thirty top-tier alchemists!
These numbers were staggering, equivalent to the combined wealth of two or three top-tier factions!
From afar, the eyes of the other top tier factions burned with envy. To say that they weren’t covetous would be a lie. However, no one dared to make a move against the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands. The overwhelming strength displayed by the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands in this battle was too formidable-they had crushed the combined forces of eight “prime-aged” Supremes and killed five of them. Attacking the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands carried risks far too great for anyone to bear the consequences.
Of course, if all the top-tier factions banded together, they could certainly seize these spoils from the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands. But unity was impossible. No one wanted to take the lead and sacrifice themselves as pawns for others. In addition, there were countless disputes and grudges among the factions, and they had to be careful of each other’s potential betrayals and ambushes.
Thus, for now, the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands stood unchallenged, their dominance firmly established.
