The Tables Turned

The Lineage Ancestral Hall is shrouded in incense smoke, its Fortune transforming into a dragon, soaring to the heavens.

Before the Thick Earth Cauldron, an Escape Light flashed, and Yang Tianyou's figure appeared.

He first went to the ancestral tablets and bowed, then took out a small, exquisite octagonal, nine-tiered altar.

Nine Primordial Power of different colors—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and ice—floated out and disappeared into the altar.

In the Unseen, an invisible hand reached out and swept away all the Primordial Power on the altar.

Seeing this, Yang Tianyou felt relieved and turned to leave the ancestral hall.

Offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth need not be performed every day; offering sacrifices three times a month with the Primordial Power is sufficient.

Next, the Yang Household must continue to overcome obstacles and fight to win this Interface War for the Lu Wu Realm.

If they could also annex the Nine Phoenix Realm and the Qiongqi Realm, the Yang Household becoming Heavenly Mandate Race would be a foregone conclusion.

Four Symbols Island, Alliance Headquarters.

"According to the calculations of the Armillary Sphere, the time before the boundary Realm Gate is fully opened and can accommodate beings Void Refinement to pass through will not exceed ten years."

"Everyone, what do you think we should do in this battle?" Spiritvoid Pavilion Master asked, sitting at the round table and looking around at Human Dao.

Venerable Dikong clasped his hands together, uttered "Amitabha," and then said unhurriedly, "This old monk believes that we should meet force with force and water with water. The key is to ascertain how much Void Refinement combat power the Nine Phoenix Realm can muster."

"Although the Nine Phoenix Realm lost more than a dozen Void Refinement warriors fifty years ago."

"But their foundation is still there. Even if they stumble one after another, they are still much stronger than my Lu Wu Realm. It's no problem for them to send out twenty or thirty Void Refinement warriors!" the Seven Stars Sacred Lord said.

"Heh, they may be able to produce it, but they also need to dare to send it out." Yang Tianyou sneered. "The Red Dust Demon Venerable World led the Demon Sea Devil Cultivator, turning the Nine Phoenix Realm upside down, killing many Void Refinement warriors in succession, and even the Sky Fox Old Ancestor directly perished."

For more than fifty years afterward, their pursuit and interception not only failed to subdue the Red Dust Demon Venerable and his group, but also allowed them to grow stronger, possessing at least three Void Refinement warriors.

Not long ago, wasn't the Giant Spirit Sage ambushed by Devil Cultivator cultivators and nearly killed?

Under such circumstances, it is unlikely that the Nine Phoenix Realm would be able to launch a large-scale military operation.

Moreover, the Seven Heavenly Steles of the Qiongqi Realm also divert a great deal of energy from the Nine Phoenix Realm.

Of the Seven Great Fiend Demons, the three that survived have all made rapid progress and have fully acquired the power to Void Refinement Realm.

The Martial Alliance Leader, Yang Xuanwu, also possesses combat power comparable to Void Refinement.

Furthermore, it enjoys strong support from forces in the Qiongqi Realm such as the Xuanxin Sect and the Rakshasa Forbidden Land.

"If the Nine Phoenix Realm doesn't send five or six Void Refinement warriors, it will be difficult to guard the Qiongqi Realm."

His words immediately garnered unanimous approval from the high-ranking members of the Lu Wu Realm.

"So, does this mean that our Lu Wu Realm has successfully survived this Interface War?" the First Witch Priest exclaimed with ecstasy.

A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Seven Stars Sacred Lord and the others.

Seeing this, Yang Tianyou did not make any grand pronouncements about counterattacking the Nine Phoenix Realm.

Do what you're capable of!

As the weaker party, Lu Wu Realm faced numerous difficulties in its attempt to annex the stronger party.

Of the high-ranking officials present, probably only Yang Tianyou had this confidence.

Including the Old Man Zhui Dao, it is estimated that they never even considered launching a counterattack against the Nine Phoenix Realm.

They simply wanted to weather the Interface War peacefully, preserve their own Dao Lineage, and redistribute the internal interests of the Lu Wu Realm.

Yang Tianyou had no intention of painstakingly explaining anything. Once their strength increased and surpassed that of the Nine Phoenix Realm, their ambition would naturally arise, without him needing to say anything more.

"Although the Nine Phoenix Realm is unlikely to pose a threat to the safety of my Lu Wu Realm."

However, necessary precautions should still be taken.

A comprehensive Defense System must be established in Realm Gate, striving to deliver a fatal blow the moment the enemy breaks through the Realm Gate...

After the meeting ended, Yang Tianyou put away the projection Law Treasure, a solemn look appearing in his eyes.

The Devil Cultivators have expanded too rapidly, especially that Red Dust Demon Venerable. Based on the information sent back by Nine-Phoenix Kunwu and Sixth Brother, Yang Tianyou speculated that this person possessed at least the combat strength of the Mid-Stage Void Refinement Returning Realm.

His close friend, the Celestial Person Sword Immortal Chen Qiaosheng, was also of similar strength, undoubtedly possessing the combat power of the Mid-Stage Void Refinement.

In addition, among the Devil Cultivators, several Demon Dao figures such as the Six Desires Demoness and the Heavenly Corpse Old Ancestor also possessed the combat power of the Void Refinement Realm, and some even directly broke through to the Void Refinement Realm.

Clearly, the benefits of the Demon God Origin are gradually becoming apparent.

The probability of Devil Cultivators breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm is far greater than that of righteous cultivators.

Keep in mind, there were only a few of these Devil Cultivators.

Among the countless beings in the Lu Wu Realm, only a handful are truly righteous cultivators who have broken through to the Void Refinement Realm.

Apart from the earliest breakthrough achieved by the Old Man Zhui Dao.

In the past fifty years, Venerable Dikong, Sacred Martial Emperor, Old Black Dragon, and Frost Thunder Two Venerables have successively broken through to the Void Refinement Realm.

However, exceptionally talented cultivators such as the Eight Desolations Saber Saint, the Heavenly Blood Demon Lord, and the Blood God Hall Master are still stuck at the threshold of the Void Refinement Realm due to their lack of foundation, unable to make any progress.

During times of war, Devil Cultivators are indeed extremely reliable, especially under Lin Yingyue's leadership, making them a sharp dagger aimed straight at the enemy's heart.

However, once the Interface War ends, how could the Devil Cultivators, whose power has expanded, not seek even greater gains?

At this time, the Yang Household, as the number one power in the Lu Wu Realm, will undoubtedly face off against the Devil Cultivator.

As the saying goes, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

The Yang Household is now a giant; it's no exaggeration to say they hold up half the sky of the Lu Wu Realm.

With the Devil Cultivators attacking, the Yang Household, as the Champion of the righteous path, has an inescapable responsibility.

However, if the Devil Cultivators become too powerful, the Yang Household risks being overthrown.

Being prepared for unforeseen circumstances is an essential quality for anyone in leadership.

The threat posed by Devil Cultivators is becoming increasingly clear, and Yang Tianyou must take it seriously.

"It seems we need to find an opportunity to plant an inside agent!" Yang Tianyou said thoughtfully.

Nine Phoenix Realm, Alliance.

Since the rise of Devil Cultivators in the Nine Phoenix Realm and their subsequent success, the atmosphere at the Nine Phoenix Realm Alliance meeting has never been lively.

"The final stage of the Interface War is approaching. How should the specific troop deployment be arranged?" Nine Phoenix Emperor looked around at everyone and asked.

Since the Sky Fox Old Ancestor was killed by Lin Yingyue and Chen Qiaosheng, the leader of the Nine Phoenix Realm Alliance has once again become the Nine Phoenix Emperor.

The Sky Fox Saintess sat silently in the spot where the Sky Fox Old Ancestor had originally been.

"If this fighting continues, one of our seven races will surely fall. I, the Clan Chief, suggest maintaining the status quo and delaying until the Interface War ends and the two realms automatically separate," the Fire-Bathing Tribe Chief said in a deep voice.

He was somewhat afraid of being beaten. Although the Fire-Bathing Tribe was single-minded, their love and care for their clansmen was well-known.

Years of warfare have led to a significant decline in the Fire-Bathing Tribe's population and the number of its strongest members.

Especially after the True Martial War and the Battle of Lanke Temple, both legions were wiped out one after another, with the Lava Army Corps being wiped out twice.

Hundreds of members of the Sage Manifestation Clan perished, not to mention the Fire-Bathing Tribe below the Spirit Transformation stage.

Such a heavy price to pay, it would be better if we could see a glimmer of hope.

However, at present, demonic clouds are shrouding the Nine Phoenix Realm.

Externally, there is the increasingly powerful Lu Wu Realm, and the constantly provoking Qiongqi Realm.

The Nine Phoenix Realm faces internal and external troubles, and even with its greater strength, it is still constrained.

"The tide of war has turned!" King of the Divine Wind Clan sighed softly.

The Nine-Phoenix Realm Experts sitting around the round table all changed color, but none of them refuted it.

The Nine Phoenix Realm today is like a giant with its hands and feet bound, possessing brute force but divided, unable to concentrate its power to deal with any one entity.

Even though Yang Tianyou looked down on the evil Devil Cultivators, he would still lend a helping hand without hesitation, knowing that the situation was a matter of mutual dependence.

On the Qiongqi Realm side, after the three Void Refinement warriors were born, they also launched frequent attacks, causing huge losses to the Nine Phoenix Realm.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch in the final stage?" the Nine Phoenix Realm Nine Phoenix Emperor said unwillingly.

"What can we do now? The Nine Phoenix Realm is no longer the overlord that dominated the two realms at the beginning of the war." Daoist Taiyi sighed, then said, "I believe it's time to adjust the Alliance's strategic plans."

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Taiyi, should be done?" the Nine Phoenix Emperor asked coldly, already having some guesses in his mind.

"It's very simple, just shift from offense to defense."

The seven races learned from the Lu Wu Realm, consolidated their power, built fortresses, and established Defense System.

"We cannot launch a proactive attack until we resolve the threat of Devil Cultivators," said Daoist Taiyi, his face expressionless.

The Nine Phoenix Emperor's heart sank, and he couldn't help but look at the other high-ranking officials, his mood growing increasingly heavy.

After the Daoist Taiyi finished speaking, all five leaders, including the Sky Fox Saintess, appeared to think that what he said made sense.

The Nine Phoenix Emperor's expression shifted between light and dark.

Think of how long the Nine-Phoenix Clan had waited for this excellent opportunity.

If you swallow both of the two Middle Thousand Realms, you will definitely be able to Ascension the Spirit Realm and become a great Great Thousand Realm.

However, the Realm War, which was originally thought to be foolproof, has developed into its current state due to the interference of two unexpected factors.

This was extremely painful for the Nine Phoenix Emperor, who had great ambitions.

After a long silence, the Nine Phoenix Emperor spoke, "I will summon the Old Ancestor's avatar to descend to the mortal realm and annihilate the Devil Cultivators. You should mobilize your respective races to prepare for war!"

After saying that, his figure flickered and disappeared.

The remaining high-ranking leaders of the Nine Phoenix Realm exchanged glances, all seeing the smiles in each other's eyes.
