The Great War Ends

After resting for half a month, Lu Jiuyuan led his army to set off.

Under the leadership of the Primordial Spirit Dao Lord, the group finally surrounded the Devil Race army in the vast expanse and fought for more than half a month before completely annihilating them.

It took the group more than three months to finally reclaim the Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise Star Palace Archipelago.

As the arrays within the Star Palace Archipelago were repaired one by one, the power of the entire Celestial Star Array gradually recovered.

Meanwhile, far beyond the Heaven Scar, aboard a Devil Race Treasure Ship, the Nine Nether Sacred Venerable stood with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the Star Palace Archipelago, his expression utterly unmoved.

Behind him, a woman said gravely, "Your Majesty, it seems they have failed."

"It seems I underestimated them."

The Nine Nether Sacred Venerable spoke calmly, then added, "The Nine Netherworlds Demon Dragon Bu Fan talent and originally had a good chance of breaking through to the Late Primordial Spirit realm. However, after this ordeal, it will likely be difficult for it to reach the late stage of the Late Primordial Spirit realm."

Upon hearing this, the woman's expression darkened slightly. Although most Primordial Spirit cultivators were exceptionally talented, there were still differences among them.

While those in the early and middle stages of the Primordial Spirit are Bu Fan, they are still far inferior to those in the Late Primordial Spirit realm.

Generally speaking, more than 70% to 80% of those Primordial Spirit Dao Lord will ultimately fail to break through to the Late Primordial Spirit realm.

Eastern Wilderness as an example, there are only two Human Race in the Late Primordial Spirit realm: Lin Tianqi and Jade Radiance Lord of the Star Palace. Even if we include the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor of the Demon Race and the Netherworld Ancestor of the Demonic Path, there are only four.

In comparison, the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor was a transformed Nine Heavens True Dragon, and in terms of bloodline, it was only slightly inferior to the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor.

Such a being has a great chance of breaking through to the Late Primordial Spirit realm the future. However, since he was killed this time, even if he is reborn in the future, his True Dragon Body will be somewhat incomplete.

Furthermore, having lost an entire lifetime of lifespan for no reason, it can be said that the chances of the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor breaking through to the Late Primordial Spirit realm will be greatly reduced.

Suppressing her thoughts, the woman took a deep breath and then asked, "Should we tear open the barrier again and send someone to the Four Directions Star Palace?"

"Is that not necessary?"

The Nine Nether Sacred Venerable shook his head and said, "To break even a corner of the Celestial Stars and Constellations Grand Formation, we would need to consume the precious Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Formation-Breaking Shuttle, which is quite a huge price to pay."

"Now, Master's second demonic fetus is at a crucial stage of development. Once the demonic fetus is successfully refined a thousand years later, what is the mere Celestial Stars and Constellations Grand Formation to worry about?"

"..."

Time flies, and ten years have passed since the opening of the Heaven Scar.

After the Four Directions Star Palace Islands were recovered, the Devil Race found it difficult to break through the inner islands. After paying a considerable price and losing a large number of low-level Devil Race, they began to gradually retreat beyond the Heaven Scar.

The Human Race Dao Lord in the inner circle pursued and killed a portion of the Outer Realm Devil army, but ultimately watched helplessly as the Devil Race army retreated back to the edge of the Demon Abyss.

The Demon God's hand that supported heaven and earth began to gradually lower the Heaven Scar. Before leaving, the Outer Realm Demon God also scattered billions of starlight beams that flew towards the boundless land of the Purple Yin Realm.

Those were Star Fragment left behind by Outer Realm Demon God. As they flew out with the Dao Marker, Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground took shape under the starlight, and the destroyed Demon Spring were also being relit.

Chen Nianzhi looked at the billions of starlight streaking across the Nine Heavens, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and her eyes turned slightly cold.

This is a method used by Outer Realm Demon God to corrupt the will of heaven and earth. The more Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground there are in the world, the more severely the origin of the Purple Yin Realm will be eroded.

Human Race is forced to expend a great deal of its power on these Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground, and in return, these Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground will continuously sacrifice Human Race to reduce Human Race's war potential.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said, "Our first priority after returning is to completely wipe out the Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground surrounding our Lineage."

"Hmm." Chen Changxuan nodded, then said somewhat helplessly, "Let's see how things go. In this battle, the power of the Vast Sea and Ji Continent was reduced by half. We'll probably need nearly a hundred years to recover from our injuries."

"Regardless, the Abyssal Demon Calamity is over." Jiang Linglong sighed and said, "Although the Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground is troublesome, it ultimately cannot pose a fatal threat to us."

Chen Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "The Eastern Wasteland Immortal Alliance will probably start calculating battle merits in the next few days. Old Granduncle, please compile the battle merits of all the major immortal clans as soon as possible so that we can distribute the rewards."

"I've already made the arrangements."

Chen Changxuan nodded and said this.

Because there were too many cultivators participating in the battle, the calculation of battle merits was divided into several levels.

In this battle, the Purple Yin Immortal Alliance will calculate battle merits based on the contributions of each major region, and then each major region will also calculate battle merits for each Nascent Soul Immortal Clan.

As for the battle merits of those below the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, they need to be allocated and distributed by the respective Nascent Soul Immortal Clans themselves.

This time, the Chen Clan recruited more than two million cultivators from the Vast Sea and the Chen Kingdom, involving tens of thousands of immortal clans of all sizes. The Chen Clan needs to distribute compensation and war merits to all of them, which is a huge task.

Because this war was so vast and complex, it took the entire Purple Yin Realm a full year to tally the results.

On this day, Chen Nianzhi and others received an imperial edict and arrived at a grand hall in the heart of the Taiwei Enclosure Archipelago.

Accompanying him were True Lord Haoran, Sea-Calming Daoist, and other fellow Daoists from the Three Vein Ancient Region.

Seated in the main hall were four powerful beings at the Nascent Soul stage: Daoist Changhe, Yaoguang Star Lord of the Star Palace, Tianqi Daojun, the patriarch of the Lin Clan, and Ji Daoyan.

Seeing that everyone was unharmed, Ji Daoyan nodded slightly and said, "The fellow Daoists of the Three Vein Ancient Region have made outstanding contributions in this battle, doing their utmost for our Human Race, which makes me very gratified."

"Yes, I've heard that the success of this battle was entirely due to young friend Guixu's plan."

Long River Daoist also smiled and glanced at Chen Nianzhi.

Chen Nianzhi cupped his hands in greeting and said, "This battle was entirely due to everyone's hard work; I only had some minor planning involved."

Those standing nearby, including the Sea-Calming Daoist, smiled slightly upon hearing this, and their feelings of goodwill towards Chen Nianzhi grew even stronger.

The four Dao Lord in the main hall all nodded, and Long River Daoist gave Chen Nianzhi an approving look.

He didn't say much, but after a moment he sighed and said, "It's a pity that the Three Vein Ancient Region also suffered heavy losses this time. The little fellow from the Flying Feather Pavilion had his physical body destroyed, and Profound Void Daoist died in battle. It is truly a great loss for our Eastern Wasteland."

"Snort."

Lin Tianqi snorted coldly, his gaze turning slightly icy as he said, "Wang Tianzhou is a piece of trash, and Lu Jiuyuan is a guy who cherishes his reputation."

"It's better to send two pigs to guard Star Palace Spirit Isle than to put those two in charge of it!"
