A Dramatic Change in the Situation
Nine Phoenix Alliance.
The Nine Phoenix Emperor, the King of the Divine Wind Clan, the Daoist Taiyi, and other top figures of the Nine Phoenix Realm took their seats, their expressions extremely grim.
"Damn Devil Cultivators! They actually took advantage of the weakness of my Ten Thousand Demon Continent to destroy two Demon Capitals in succession!" The Sky Fox Old Ancestor was furious. White arcs of electricity crackled around his body, and several fox tails swayed back and forth behind him. His aura was terrifying, not much inferior to that of the Old Man Zhui Dao.
"The True Martial War was also lost. Apart from the Radiant Phoenix Army Corps, which escaped by relying on its speed, the Giant God Army Corps, the Jianming Legion, and the Lava Army Corps all perished..." King of the Divine Wind Clan said in a low voice, his face gloomy.
However, he was quite happy at that moment.
It's better for everyone to be unlucky than for one person to be unlucky alone.
This also resulted in heavy losses for other clans, except for the Nine-Phoenix Clan and the Fire Spirit Tribe.
The five major races, including Human Race and Demon Race, are back on the same starting line, no longer needing to worry about being exploited and oppressed after the war due to their weaker status.
"Those guys from the Qiongqi Realm who were unwilling to accept defeat took advantage of the fact that all the Void Refinement Legions were transferred to the Lu Wu Realm to launch a frenzied attack on our realm's base, plundering logistical supplies and causing considerable damage," the Nine Phoenix Emperor said in a muffled voice.
While other tribes suffered heavy losses, he was not as happy as the King of the Divine Wind Clan.
Ultimately, conquering the Lu Wu Realm and the Qiongqi Realm, and helping the Nine Phoenix Realm ascend to the Great Thousand Realm, is the most important thing. Everything else is trivial to the Nine Phoenix Emperor.
Therefore, although the loss of their own strength seemed to be advantageous to the Nine-Phoenix Clan, the Nine Phoenix Emperor, who always took a long-term view of things, couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The Lu Wu Realm has expanded too quickly; in such a short time, it has already been able to directly defeat the four Void Refinement Legions.
Not to mention, they even had the resources to send people to cause trouble within the Nine Phoenix Realm.
If Lu Wu Realm were given another hundred years, could they really launch a counterattack?
The absurd thought involuntarily arose in his mind. The Nine Phoenix Emperor gave a wry smile, shook it out of his head, and realized that he was overthinking things.
However, the level of importance attached to the Lu Wu Realm definitely needs to be increased again.
"It's time to take some drastic measures!" the Nine Phoenix Emperor said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Extreme measures? What do you mean?" King of the Divine Wind Clan asked instinctively.
The Sky Fox Old Ancestor and other clan leaders also looked over at the same time.
The Nine Phoenix Emperor looked around and said, " In the Third Stage of the Realm War, we have undoubtedly lost."
The fall of the three Void Refinement Legions and the demise of the two great Demon Capital prove one thing.
The war potential of the Lu Wu Realm is far greater than that of the Qiongqi Realm.
We can no longer allow the Lu Wu Realm to grow unchecked. Therefore, I propose that, thirty years from now, after the Realm Gate expands again, we should show no mercy, and all races should go all out to flatten the Lu Wu Realm.
"Go all out? Does the Imperial Lord think we held back before?" the Giant Spirit Sage said slowly, his voice filled with deep dissatisfaction.
Their Giant Spirit Tribe lost an entire Void Refinement Legion, and the Giant Spirit Sage felt a pang of heartache whenever he thought of it.
The Nine Phoenix Emperor actually said they hadn't tried their best—isn't that a slap in the face?
"What I mean is, we'll leave no room for error and go all out!" The Nine Phoenix Emperor looked at the Giant Spirit Sage and said, enunciating each word clearly.
"No trump cards left, all-out attack... The Imperial Lord's intention is to suppress the entire Void Refinement Legion in one fell swoop, including the legion used to protect the clan..." The Sky Fox Old Ancestor's eyes darkened.
"Excellent. I suggest that once the First-Tier of the war begins, all the Void Refinement Legions, including the Imperial City Guard Army, the Eastern King Army, and the Demon God Army, should be mobilized together to sweep across the Lu Wu Realm," the Nine Phoenix Emperor said decisively.
"Mobilize the entire force? That's too risky. My Divine Wind Clan only has one Purple Thunder Army Corps left. If even this legion perishes in the Lu Wu Realm, we'll only have individual Void Refinement combat power left!" The King of the Divine Wind Clan shook his head repeatedly.
Just kidding, the situation is far from critical. What if the King of the Divine Wind Clan is attacked after the Purple Thunder Army Corps is deployed?
Those Devil Cultivators from the Lu Wu Realm possess two Void Refinement warriors and are capable of sealing large-scale Spatial Teleportation Formation.
If they were to launch a sneak attack, without the Purple Thunder Army Corps controlling the capital's Formation, even if they managed to stop the Devil Cultivators, their own losses would be substantial.
Leaders of other ethnic groups shared the same opinion.
The Giant Spirit Sage's eyes flashed, and he spoke in a deep, gruff voice, "If the Devil Cultivators are not eliminated, our Nine Phoenix Realm will never have peace. We can discuss the Imperial Lord's ideas later. The most urgent task is to swat these damned flies to stop their buzzing in our ears."
The Sky Fox Old Ancestor nodded repeatedly. The Demon Race had suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Devil Cultivators, so when it came to hatred towards Lin Yingyue and the others, the Demon Race was the most intense.
The Fire-Bathing Tribe Clan Chief also spoke up, saying, "To quell external threats, we must first secure internal stability. Devil Cultivators is the safest course of action!"
Then, the Grand Elder of the Fire Spirit Tribe, the King of the Divine Wind Clan, and the Daoist Taiyi also voiced their support.
After thinking it over, the Nine Phoenix Emperor agreed.
Devil Cultivators are indeed annoying; concentrating our efforts on eradicating these scourges is a good option.
Anyway, we have another thirty years to operate, so there's no rush.
"Then let the Bai Ze Clan deduce it!"
Lu Wu Realm.
After the victory in the True Martial War, the Old Man Zhui Dao used the Spatial Teleportation Formation to provide support in various places, causing the Nine Phoenix Realm to suffer repeated defeats.
Although the opposing Void Refinement Legion withdrew immediately without losing any more units.
However, the war situation is still developing in a direction favorable to the Lu Wu Realm.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
The war situation in the Lu Wu Realm has changed dramatically, with our side gaining a complete advantage and once again forcing the Nine Phoenix Realm army to hold their ground in the World Interstice.
The Third Stage of the war, which lasted for twenty years and resulted in the loss of nearly half of the territory, has come to a near end.
Purple Moon Mountain, Great White Residence.
The Old Man Zhui Dao, sat opposite Mr. and Yang Tianyou and his wife, with a box of oval-shaped, vibrant green tea leaves on the table.
"This is a pound of Dao Enlightenment Tea. Please accept it, young friend Yang. It is a small token of our gratitude from the True Martial Sacred Land for your assistance in the battle!"
"Oh? Is it from your sect's Dao Enlightenment Tea Tree, which has lived for 240,000 years?" Yang Tianyou asked in surprise.
"Not bad." The Old Man Zhui Dao nodded slightly, but then he sighed softly, "It's a pity that this top-grade Dao Enlightenment Tea will become increasingly rare!"
"What do you mean by that?" Yang Tianyou asked.
"Hehe, young friend Yang, what do you think is the reason why this old Daoist was able to break through so quickly?..." The Old Man Zhui Dao smiled wryly and explained the reason in detail.
"So that's how it is. In order to break through quickly, you refined an entire Dao Enlightenment Tea Tree? No wonder you advanced so fast!" Yang Tianyou said in realization.
