Final Battle (12)
The birth of the Great White Realm not only paved the way for Yang Tianyou to become a direct Earthly Immortal, but also had an immediate and significant impact on his combat power.
By controlling the Origin Power of the Great White Realm, Yang Tianyou could dominate the Void Refinement Realm even without relying on the power of the Seven-Star Spirit-Raising Formation.
If the Seven-Star Spirit-Raising Formation is added, it's enough to contend with ordinary Immortals and Gods projected to the mortal realm. And if he and his wife were to unleash Combined Divine Ability...
Thinking of this, Yang Tianyou's previously somewhat unsettled confidence immediately returned.
Next day
In the Yang Household's Discussion Hall, the Lineage's high-ranking members sat in their respective positions. The weakest among them was at the Late Sage Manifestation. When the auras of these people intertwined, even a Spirit Transformation cultivator entering the hall would probably involuntarily kneel down under this heavy pressure.
"Gentlemen, after two hundred years of recuperation, the overall strength of my Yang Household has increased more than tenfold. Now it is time to begin the next phase of our plan!" Yang Tianyou looked around, his tone firm and powerful.
Upon hearing this, a fiery light appeared in the eyes of the Lineage's high-ranking members in the main hall, like clusters of blazing flames.
"Alright, go and prepare. The army and logistics must be mobilized as soon as possible. The Lineage members who have been lurking in the Nine Phoenix Realm should also begin their operations. We must also inform our allies of the strength of the Yang Household to boost morale."
"We obey your command!!"
As the Yang Household began to act, heroes from all over responded, and the Three Great Realms became lively.
At first, some people doubted the Yang Household's intentions, but a hundred years ago, after the Yang Household took the initiative to send troops to attack the Nine Phoenix Realm and returned victorious after killing many Void Refinement experts, the leaders of the Three Great Realms realized that the Yang Household's failure to agree to the Nine Phoenix Realm's proposal to divide the Qiongqi Realm was not out of benevolence, but because the Yang Household's appetite was far more than that.
It should be noted that the army dispatched by the Yang Household was only one-third of their Twelve Legions, and only one of their Five Great Legions was sent. Even so, they still managed to rout the heavily defended Nine Phoenix Realm.
If the Yang Household were to mobilize all its forces, wouldn't they be able to fight against most of the Nine Phoenix Realm with just their own strength?
Faced with such a terrifying scene, it would be a lie to say that the Nine Phoenix Realm was not afraid. So the Nine Phoenix Emperor took the lead and spent a huge amount of resources to build an impregnable defense in Realm Gate.
In fact, if the Yang Household had gone all out, they could have broken through this defense, but that would have inevitably resulted in heavy losses and rendered them unable to advance. As the saying goes, killing a thousand enemies would result in losing eight hundred of your own. The Yang Household's goal was to rule the Three Great Realms, not to do the work for others.
Therefore, the Yang Household decisively withdrew their troops and continued to focus on development. A hundred years later, with Yang Tianyou's breakthrough, the Yang Household will completely gain the upper hand in high-end power. In addition, with the legion system and Talisman Soldier System that are unparalleled in the Three Great Realms, as well as the hidden Heavenly Mandate Fruit Positions, the strength of the Yang Household has reached the point where the power of a single clan is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of the Nine Phoenix Realm.
With such immense power, coupled with the assistance of the remaining forces in the Qiongqi Realm and Lu Wu Realm, they were more than capable of launching a counterattack and swallowing up the entire Nine Phoenix Realm.
At this very moment, with the Yang Household's Mobilization Order issued, heroes responded, and powerful forces from all over the realm converged and gathered before the Realm Gate.
Nine Phoenix Realm
The Nine Phoenix Emperor, the Daoist Taiyi, the Sky Fox Saintess, and other high-ranking officials gathered together, their expressions more solemn than ever before. The Nine Phoenix Emperor, in particular, truly never expected that the very thing he had once scoffed at would actually happen right before his eyes.
Two hundred years is nothing more than the time it takes for a High-Rank Cultivator to take a nap, yet the strength of the Purple Moon Yang Household has expanded like an inflating balloon.
Geniuses are springing up like mushrooms after rain. Once upon a time, One Sexagenary Cycle rare Sacred Body was a rare find, but in the Yang Household, they are as common as dumplings being dropped into a pot.
The idea of the Void Refinement Legion being so difficult to cultivate is even more outrageous. The Yang Household builds a Void Refinement Legion as if it were child's play, making one wonder whether these legions are of acceptable quality or are simply substandard products.
As a result, a battle between legions a hundred years ago completely defeated many forces in the Nine Phoenix Realm. It was at that time that the Nine Phoenix Emperor began to fear the Yang Household's counterattack. When something he thought was impossible happened before his eyes, the impact was unimaginable.
"Fellow Daoist Friends, the Yang Household has begun to assemble their army. This time, they are making no attempt to conceal it, which shows just how confident Yang Household are in themselves," said the King of the Divine Wind Clan in a deep voice, a barely perceptible glint of fear flashing in his eyes.
The higher up they were, the more they understood how powerful the Purple Moon Yang Household was now. On the contrary, the middle and lower-level cultivators had not recognized their own strength and their impression of the Yang Household remained stuck in the past.
"What should we do?" asked the Fire-Bathing Tribe Chief.
"At this moment, the only option is to defend with all our might. Even though the strength of the Lu Wu Realm and the Qiongqi Realm far surpasses ours now, war is never simply a comparison of strength. Our Nine Phoenix Realm has many high-level Spirit Veins, and we have already set up Defensive Formations, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"As long as we can hold out for fifty years, the Realm Gate will begin to shrink. At that time, the Plane Will will allow cultivators whose cultivation surpasses the Late Sage Manifestation Realm to Ascension directly to the Great Thousand Realm, and the crisis will naturally be resolved." Daoist Taiyi stroked his beard and said with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi is right. Our best course of action right now is to defend ourselves using the same methods that the Luwu Realm and Qiongqi Realm used against us back then. We must rely on spiritual veins and various dangerous places. As long as we can hold out until our consciousnesses in the other realms break free, we will successfully overcome this crisis." The Heavenly Fox Saintess continued, and the others could only nod helplessly after thinking for a moment. For now, they could only cower like turtles.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; history always repeats itself time and again in the long river of time, the difference being that the positions of the two sides are reversed.
However, while the Lu Wu Realm was able to successfully resist the invasion and survive, the Nine Phoenix Realm may not be able to do the same.
One month later.
The assembled armies from both realms launched a fierce attack at Yang Tianyou's command.
The various legions of the Nine Phoenix Realm originally followed the instructions of their superiors to hold their ground and defend with all their might, but the strongest defenses are often breached from within.
Over the past two hundred years, Yang Tianyou has used the Mirror Spirit Space to plant countless spies. Some of these spies have already risen to very important positions. When they act together, the ironclad defense line, which the higher-ups of the Nine Phoenix Realm believed could delay the enemy for at least a decade, collapsed in less than half a month.
