None of those joining the battle had expected the head of the Daoist House to bow to them. That gesture instantly stoked their fighting spirit.
"We will not fail our mission!"
Their roars surged like a tsunami. United in purpose, their fighting spirit boiled, and their vitality, energy, and spirit all climbed to their peak.
Even hegemon-grade figures such as the Emperor Lord, Elder Ancestor Gai Lei, and the academy dean felt a tingling all over. Swept up by the atmosphere around them, their blood surged despite themselves.
"Even someone as lazy as me is getting excited?"
The Phoenix Emperor Venerate chuckled.
Lately, he had been too lazy even to cultivate, so his cultivation had made little progress.
"Everyone, the battle against the Beyond-Realm Lands will undoubtedly be a protracted war. We may even have to fight until both sides have burned through their last drops of oil before victory is decided. But I believe the Thirty-Three Heavens will claim the final victory!"
"The ultimate goal of our powerful enemies from Beyond the Boundary may be to destroy our realm, but before that, they have many other objectives. One is to prove that their potential and upper limits surpass those of the Thirty-Three Heavens."
"We don't know why they're doing this, but they must have a reason that compels them to do so. Whatever that reason is, we of the Thirty-Three Heavens have nothing to fear. They aren't the Kaoshan Sect!"
Dao Yi delivered his final rallying speech.
He had even brought up the Kaoshan Sect. By now, its name had spread once more, and everyone knew of it.
The Kaoshan Sect had been powerful before. Now that it had returned, it was even stronger, with depths and limits that no one could fathom.
