Immortal Realm Inheritor
The Azure Emperor immediately transmitted his voice to the disciple guarding the Teleportation Array, saying, "Close the teleportation channel in the Azure Realm and do not allow anyone to enter through the Teleportation Array!"
After the Azure Emperor gave the order, his expression relaxed slightly.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on the Azure Emperor's face, "Very well, since Ziwei wants to mobilize a large army, then I cannot be too stingy!"
"Xingfeng, I've agreed to your conditions. Come to Qingjian Realm immediately. Remember, you need to be quick. If these immortal armies Great Teleportation directly and replenish their energy using immortal crystals, it will probably only take them ten days to get from the neighboring city to my Qingjian Realm. Of course, we will meet them there. The battlefield will be in the wilderness between the two cities. I estimate that the battle is about ten days away! Xingfeng, hurry up!" the Azure Emperor transmitted his voice.
Zhang Xingfeng, far away in Yanzong, laughed upon hearing the Azure Emperor's telepathic message.
"Oh, not bad, not bad! This Azure Emperor is really generous. Isn't asking for three million immortal crystals too high?" Zhang Xingfeng had a strange smile on his face.
As early as when Zhang Xingfeng arrived in the Immortal Realm, he had already told the Azure Emperor Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor that he had a way to throw the million-strong army of immortals into chaos, preventing them from forming a cohesive attack. Of course, Zhang Xingfeng wouldn't do this for free; he asked for three million immortal crystals. At the time, the Azure Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor didn't directly refuse Zhang Xingfeng, but simply said they would think about it.
"Huangyan True Person, the Purple Cloud Realm is about to go to war with the Fengyuan Sect and the Tianlong Sect Fengyuan Gate. Should we go and take a look? Perhaps we can gain some unexpected benefits during the battle!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile to Huangyan True Person beside him.
Huangyan True Person nodded and said, "That's right. When the time is right, we can also take advantage of their misfortune! You must know that Purple Cloud Realm is a very powerful sect, and it's a major sect with a lot of immortal crystals, divine artifacts, and immortal weapons. Yue'er's Yan Sect is just starting out, and its foundation is weak. If we let them develop on their own, who knows when they'll be able to achieve anything significant. It's better if we old folks help them!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly. He gently picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then said with a smile, "In that case, we can set off now. However, True Person should also gather your old brothers! They might not know about this."
Huangyan True Person immediately stood up and said, "Alright, I'll gather the old brothers right away. We old folks won't participate in the battle; we'll watch from the sidelines! Hehe..."
"That bastard Yuanmu noticed pretty quickly, and now he's even sealed off the entire Teleportation Array in Qingjian Realm. Good, good! I'm not in a hurry. My million-strong army is only one city away from him. As long as we use Great Teleportation, we can definitely arrive within ten days. By the way, Second Elder, have the immortal crystals been distributed to them?" Ziwei asked the Second Elder beside her.
The Second Elder said, "As instructed by the Great Emperor, since the weakest among the immortals is the Luo Tian Shang Xian (Luo Heaven Immortal), the calculations were based on their teleportation speed! With Luo Tian Shang Xian constantly teleporting, two cities would likely require two immortal crystals, while at their speed... Da Luo Jin Xian (Great Luo Golden Immortal) can teleport while simultaneously recovering their immortal energy; they don't need immortal crystals! As for the more powerful immortals, there's even less to say! Currently, out of the million-strong army, there are approximately 100,000 Luo Tian Shang Xian, 700,000 Da Luo Jin Xian, 200,000 Jiu Tian Xuan Xian, and only a few dozen Xian Jun (Immortal Lords)! This time, we allocated three immortal crystals to each Luo Tian Shang Xian and two to each Da Luo Jin Xian. As for the Jiu Tian Xuan Xian and Xian Jun, they already possess a considerable amount of immortal crystals, so they weren't allocated any."
Ziwei nodded in agreement. In her heart, however, she sighed, "Alas, there are dozens of Immortal Monarch in the Immortal Army. It's a pity these Immortal Monarch aren't from my Purple Cloud Realm itself. If only they were all disciples of my Purple Cloud Realm!"...
No matter who it is—Ziwei, Azure Emperor, or Heavenly Emperor —in their hearts, they always treat the immortal army and the disciples within their own sects separately! They feel nothing when an Immortal Monarch dies in the immortal army, but they grieve for a long time when Immortal Monarch from their own sect dies!
"Everyone, now we're heading straight to the future battlefield, the wilderness beyond Qingjian. We'll go there and join our million-strong army. Then, we'll break through Fengyuan Gate in one fell swoop and use our immortal army to launch a collective attack against Li Qiang and his forces. Hmph, the combined power of such a large immortal army is so great that even gods couldn't withstand it. Li Qiang, Azure Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, hmph!" Ziwei exuded Killing Intent.
The Third Elder immediately agreed, saying, "The Emperor is right. The power of a million-strong army is terrifying! A hundred thousand troops attacking together is already incredibly frightening. If a million troops were to attack together... ah..." The Third Elder was overwhelmed with excitement at the thought of that magnificent scene.
"Alright, let's go! Speed up!" At Ziwei's command, the seven Immortal Emperor vanished in a flash, following Ziwei's figure.
"Heavenly Emperor, that million-strong army is now approaching Qingjian Realm. We need to get there as soon as possible!" Li Qiang said to the Heavenly Emperor, who was still furious.
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor was stunned and exclaimed, "A million-strong army? A million-strong army of immortals from the Purple Cloud Realm Fengyuan Gate's army is no match for a million-strong army from the Purple Cloud Realm! Li Qiang, I will order my Tianlong Sect's army to go with us!"
Li Qiang laughed and said, "Your Heavenly Emperor, the Tianlong Sect's army probably won't make it in time. My master has already sent me a telepathic message, informing me that the future battlefield will be in the western wilderness outside Qingjian City. The Tianlong Sect's army doesn't need to go. My Fengyuan Gate already has a way to deal with their million-strong army from the Purple Cloud Realm!"
"Oh? That's a million-strong army, no child's play! What method can deal with such a million-strong army?" The Heavenly Emperor was secretly shocked. "The Fengyuan Gate is indeed formidable, always possessing powerful killing moves. Since they had a method to deal with a million-strong army, they never revealed it until today, with the great battle about to begin. They are truly patient."
Li Qiang chuckled and said, "Hehe... Actually, the one who dealt with this million-strong army wasn't from my Fengyuan Gate, but— Zhang Xingfeng!"
"Zhang Xingfeng? What can he do? This million-strong army has a collective defensive formation. The defense of those million immortals is incredibly powerful, and their attacks are terrifyingly strong. Can Zhang Xingfeng possibly deal with this million-strong army? Unless his master, the Fire God, personally arrives and his divine fire burns them away with ease, it's a pity that Zhang Xingfeng may not yet have the strength of his master!" The Heavenly Emperor said in disbelief.
Li Qiang nodded and said, "I don't believe it either, but Zhang Xingfeng was very serious about what he said to Master. He even bargained with Master about it before finally agreeing on three million immortal crystals! We'll give him three million immortal crystals, and Zhang Xingfeng will help us deal with the army of immortals. He said he didn't have the strength to completely annihilate the army, but he was confident he could prevent them from launching a coordinated attack!"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor said, "Yes, the reason why the immortal army is so terrifying is because of its collective attack. Once we prevent them from forming a collective attack, what deterrent effect will the million-strong immortal army have on us? But how can Zhang Xingfeng prevent his million-strong army from attacking collectively?"
"Perhaps Zhang Xingfeng has some unique Secret Method, after all, his master is that... God of Fire!" Li Qiang thought to himself, "That's not just any Fire God, that's an existence beyond the Divine Realm, on the same level as my master! Well, who cares if Zhang Xingfeng can solve this problem? There's always someone else, Li Qiang. Even if Zhang Xingfeng fails, at the last moment, I'll use my 'Immortal Realm Inheritor' powers to render that million-strong army immobile, and I'll succeed!"...
Heavenly Emperor. Li Qiang and the others rushed towards Qingjian Realm.
Perhaps among them, only Li Qiang was the most relaxed.
"Master, your disciple greets you!" Yu Yang bowed immediately upon seeing Ziwei arrive.
Ziwei smiled with satisfaction, "You did a great job. Yuanmu only discovered us when we reached the nearest city. Now, Qingjian Realm is just ahead of us. As long as our million-strong army marches out together, haha... victory will be ours!" Ziwei was now brimming with confidence.
Yu Yang reported, "Master, please forgive your disciple. If I had sped up when we reached this last city, I could have allowed many immortals to enter the Azure Abyss Realm. However, I ordered them not to depart."
Ziwei nodded approvingly, "Well done! If you had sent the immortal army in batches, Ziwei would have definitely discovered it. Then she would have personally closed the passage, trapping the army that entered Qingjian Realm! Hmm, Yuyang, you've thought it through very thoroughly, extremely thoroughly. This time, according to your plan, we'll launch a surprise attack on the Tianlong Sect, haha..."
Thinking of the exhilarating time at the Tianlong Sect, Ziwei couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Master and the others are incredibly powerful. The Tianlong Sect was no match for Master. I wonder what the Tianlong Sect is like now?" Yu Yang asked with a smile.
Ziwei said, "Needless to say, the Tianlong Sect's mountain gate was mostly destroyed, and all the Immortal Monarch disciples present were killed!"
Suddenly, Ziwei's heroic spirit surged, and she declared loudly, "Fellow immortals in the immortal army, this is a great battle that will determine the fate of my Purple Cloud Realm. If we win this battle today, from now on, every immortal in my Purple Cloud Realm army will receive 50% more immortal crystals!"
Upon hearing that the price would increase by 50%, the immortals were immediately filled with excitement.
"Oh~~ Oh~~ Oh~~~" Cheers immediately rang out. The immortals of the immortal army knew that they would have 50% more immortal crystals in the future, and they all seemed to be full of power. They shouted loudly that they would destroy the Fengyuan Gate and the Tianlong Sect.
Inside the secret chamber of Qingjian Realm.
"Master, don't worry, we will definitely win this time!" Li Qiang walked to the side of the Azure Emperor and said with a smile.
The Azure Emperor was somewhat agitated. Although he was confident, he wasn't entirely certain, given that the enemy was an army of a million. Even though Zhang Xingfeng claimed to have a way to deal with this million-strong army, who knew if Zhang Xingfeng was deliberately playing a trick on them?
Upon hearing Li Qiang's words, Azure Emperor shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You don't understand. If Zhang Xingfeng is playing us, we will be in a completely disadvantageous situation. We cannot gamble the fate of my Fengyuan Gate on a single, possibly untrue, statement from Zhang Xingfeng!"
Li Qiang remained unfazed, saying, "Yes, we can't gamble the fate of Fengyuan Gate on Zhang Xingfeng's word, but... we can gamble it on me!"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Emperor was taken aback and said, "You? I know your God-Slaying Saber is powerful, but how can you deal with an army of a million? Moreover, you are the most treasured possession of my Fengyuan Gate Sect. How can I let you take such a risk?"
Li Qiang pointed slightly to the ground, and a small blade of grass suddenly appeared on the rocky ground. The grass began to grow rapidly, soon reaching a height of a person. Then it withered, becoming lifeless, dead grass. But in an instant, it turned green again and began to grow... then turned yellow and withered... then began to grow green again...
"What... what is this? What's going on?" The Azure Emperor was dumbfounded. He knew that there were some special Method Formula that could greatly increase the vitality of plants, but such obvious growth, withering, withering, and then growing again was too strange.
Li Qiang smiled again, a slight thought stirring in his heart.
The little blade of grass suddenly turned into a flower, and birds appeared around it...
This time, the Azure Emperor was completely stunned. He had never seen grass turn into flowers before, and with his power, he was certain it wasn't an illusion, but something real. What shocked him most was the little bird. Where did it come from? The Azure Emperor had no idea; he only sensed that the bird appeared out of thin air!
"What... what exactly is going on? How did this bird get here?" Azure Emperor immediately asked Li Qiang.
Li Qiang laughed and said, "All of this is under my control. This bird is... my creation!"
"Creation!" the Azure Emperor exclaimed.
"Yes, Master!" Li Qiang finally decided to tell his master about this. "Didn't I tell you that I also have another master?"
The Azure Emperor calmed himself down and said, "Yes, I know, that person gave you the God-Slaying Saber!"
"Let me tell you, my master created the Immortal Realm back then. He created the Immortal Realm, and now he has passed it on to me. In other words, I am invincible in this Immortal Realm. I can create everything. I can instantly teleport a million-strong army to the far west. I can instantly freeze a million-strong army!" Li Qiang said confidently.
Upon hearing this, the Azure Emperor was stunned, his heart filled with turmoil. It took him a long time to sort out his thoughts.
"Good, good, good, hahaha... This is wonderful! Disciple, let's go, let's set off! Ziwei is arrogantly waiting for us with a million-strong army!" The Azure Emperor felt extremely relieved!
