Marching on Yaoguang
The atmosphere was tense, like a Eastern Wasteland brewing. Especially as the time announced by Zhou Tong approached, the atmosphere in the Southern Region, where the incident occurred, was almost suffocating!
This day was destined to be incredibly tense for everyone. Countless cultivators were paying attention to this matter, and the oppressive atmosphere was like a dam about to burst, with a mountain pressing down on people's hearts.
"Has the Overlord arrived?"
Ever since the news spread, people have been asking this question every few moments, looking towards the direction of Yaoguang Holy Land, waiting for the moment when the storm will arrive!
This was an ordeal, especially for many sects that were close to Yaoguang, who were filled with fear that Zhou Tong might take advantage of the situation and eliminate them while targeting Yaoguang.
In the cultivation world, especially when facing such a great era, human life is never worth anything. Countless immortal lineages are in danger, let alone those small sects and rogue cultivators.
The Yaoguang Holy Land is beautiful, shimmering with Immortal Qi, and filled with countless rays of light, creating an atmosphere of extraordinary auspiciousness.
The ancient trees have been growing for many years, the rocks stand side by side, the Spirit Spring gurgle, and auspicious beasts appear. This place is both beautiful and magnificent.
"I never imagined this day would come in this way!" In a sealed stone chamber, an old man suddenly opened his eyes, and the ten-zhang-long chamber shone brightly, filled with fragrance.
"Disciples of Yaoguang, listen to my command! Assemble immediately!"
An aged voice instantly resounded through the mountains and valleys, and everyone's spirits lifted. They quickly quieted down and gathered towards the Immortal Martial Grounds.
Near the Yaoguang Holy Land, countless teleportation arrays flashed with light from time to time, transmitting the latest news.
"They're here! They're really here! The Overlord has led the Demon Clan race into the Southern Region!!"
The moment this news broke, the oppressive and gloomy sky seemed to explode. In many places, it was as if a pot had boiled over, and there was a great uproar. People knew that a hurricane had arrived.
Not long after the news spread, a colossal portal appeared in the Southern Region, not far from the Yaoguang Holy Land. At the same time, wave after wave of people emerged, exuding a chilling aura, a vast, dark mass that sent shivers down one's spine and filled one with an overwhelming sense of dread.
"Those... those are the Peacock King and the Red Dragon King!!"
"Heavens! Even the reclusive White Elephant King has come. Has the Demon Clan really decided to go to war with the Yaoguang Holy Land?"
"That's the Scorpion King! My God, wasn't it rumored that he had already passed away a thousand years ago? I never expected him to be alive and come out with us!"
When countless people saw the group that appeared from the Demon Clan, their faces immediately turned grim. In addition to renowned kings such as the Red Dragon King and the Peacock King, many other reclusive kings of the Demon Clan race had also appeared.
Zhou Tong, accompanied by the ten demon kings, has indeed arrived at the entrance of Yaoguang Temple!
"Yaoguang Holy Land, how dare you defy my will? Are you prepared for destruction?" Zhou Tong's domineering voice resounded through the sky, causing the heavens to tremble, the Void the Great to twist, and even the Star Scripture to seem to fall.
Zhou Tong stood high in the sky, his whole body radiating Purple Qi, exuding unparalleled domineering aura. His two gazes, filled with an air of absolute arrogance, pierced through the Void the Great and landed on the Yaoguang Holy Land.
"The Overlord truly lives up to his name, being utterly domineering. He actually dares to threaten the Yaoguang Holy Land, a holy land that possesses an Supreme Emperor Weapon!"
" With the Demon Clan going all out to help him, plus the existence of the Azure Emperor Weapon, they can completely conquer any sect!"
"A momentous change has occurred, and the entire cultivation world of Big Dipper may be drastically altered as a result."
"This is outrageous! In just a few years, this heinous human trafficker has grown to this level!"
Amidst the cacophony of voices, the boiling atmosphere of the Southern Region, and the trembling of the cultivators, people could not find peace. Many, after suppressing their emotions, roared out, awaiting the start of the great battle.
Of course, the majority of cultivators were extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Tong, especially those from holy lands and Ancient Races. Countless holy lands had been extorted by Zhou Tong Zhou Tong, and the morale of those Ancient Races had long been severely damaged by him, so they naturally harbored hostility towards him.
"Such power, such strength..." The Heavenly Emperor Son, who had been watching from afar, looked rather grim.
The scene before him, commanding the world and punishing those who disobeyed, was clearly what he had always dreamed of, and it had come to pass through this very opponent.
"Son of God, please wait a few more years. Your talent is unparalleled and no one can compare to you. In just a few more years, everything that the Overlord has done will be yours!" An old servant advised in time.
"Even if I, Yaoguang, am incompetent, I have no reason to surrender. If you, Overlord, wish to conquer my Yaoguang Holy Land and take Li Xiaoman away, please come in yourself. My Yaoguang Holy Land will not stop you." An aged voice came from within the Yaoguang Holy Land.
at the same time--
"Om!"
The dazzling immortal mist that enveloped the Yaoguang Holy Land suddenly dissipated, and even the Array Patterns that protected the Yaoguang Holy Land disappeared, revealing the pavilions and towers inside the Yaoguang Holy Land.
Facing the army of the Overlord and the Demon Clan, Yaoguang dared to swagger and release the surrounding array restrictions, displaying an aura of fearlessness and grandeur that made everyone admire Yaoguang Holy Land even more.
They actually dared to let the enemy bring Imperial Weapon into the core of their own holy land. If a war breaks out, the Yaoguang Holy Land might really be sunk by the Azure Emperor Weapon and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.
The fact that Yaoguang Holy Land took such a huge risk shows their courage and confidence.
However, at this moment, everyone's eyes were on Zhou Tong. Everyone wanted to see if this so-called Overlord really had the courage to enter the Yaoguang Holy Land.
In an instant, all the pressure fell on Zhou Tong.
Countless Demon Clan also looked at Zhou Tong, some of the demon kings were very worried. They were worried that this was a conspiracy and trap set by Yaoguang, and that Zhou Tong, being young and impetuous, would fall into Yaoguang's trap for the sake of a momentary fight over loyalty.
But with so many people watching, if I don't make the trip, my reputation as a "Overlord" will be tarnished.
The Red Dragon King looked at Zhou Tong and took the initiative to speak, saying, "I'll go in your place."
"Need not!"
Zhou Tong waved his hand and then said, "Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tong landed on the ground and set up the Source Heaven Divine Array around the Yaoguang Holy Land in front of everyone.
"Does the Overlord lack courage?" A voice echoed once again from the Yaoguang Holy Land.
"No! I was just afraid that you Yaoguang Holy Land would escape, so I sealed off this area completely first!" Zhou Tong replied calmly.
Only a fool would enter the Yaoguang Holy Land.
The Yaoguang Holy Land was built on the tomb of the Ruthless Great Emperor, and for the past tens of thousands of years, the Yaoguang Holy Land has always been prepared to relocate at any time.
If we rush into the Yaoguang Holy Land now and they activate some of the backup plans left by the Ruthless Great Emperor, Yaoguang can just pack up and run away, but wouldn't we be doomed?
Moreover, Zhou Tong was almost 100% certain that Yaoguang was definitely planning to use the hidden tricks left in the tomb of the Ruthless Great Emperor to deal with him. Perhaps the Bronze Immortal Palace was right below him.
