Return, Preparing for the Final Assault

Upon hearing this, the joy on everyone's faces vanished instantly, and they all crowded around.

"Lord Ice God, what exactly is going on?" Xue Weng asked anxiously. "The Scarlet Emperor is already dead, how could he possibly be resurrected?"

The Ice God sighed and explained, "The three Dao Lords are not ordinary cultivators. They are formed from the Primordial Divine Light and are naturally integrated with the core of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm. Half of their divine souls reside in the Heart of Origin the Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain."

"Under normal circumstances, even if their physical bodies are destroyed and their souls are damaged, as long as their Heart of Origin remains, they can use the power of their primordial source to rebuild their physical bodies and slowly recover their cultivation. However, after being resurrected, their cultivation will regress, and they will need a long time to recover to their peak."

"Back then, I was ambushed by the three of them. I thought I could kill them, but because I didn't know this secret, I failed at the last moment and was severely injured, forcing me to seal my palace and fall into slumber."

At this point, a hint of lingering fear flashed in Ice God's eyes.

If he had known this secret back then, he would have destroyed the Heart of Origin at all costs, and wouldn't have ended up in a deep slumber.

Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing this.

"So, our killing of the Scarlet Emperor is only temporary? He'll be resurrected soon?" Fairy Hongling said incredulously.

"That's right." The Ice God nodded. "With the power of the Heart of Origin, the Scarlet Emperor will be able to reconstruct his physical body in a hundred years at most. Moreover, the Azure Emperor and the White Emperor will definitely spare no effort to accelerate his resurrection. Perhaps it will be successful in thirty to fifty years."

Hei Feng asked anxiously, "What should we do then? Are we going to have worked so hard to kill the Scarlet Emperor, only to have it all for nothing?"

"Of course not." Li Yunjing spoke slowly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "Since their resurrection depends on the Heart of Origin of Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain, then we will destroy the Heart of Origin and completely cut off their escape route."

"Destroy the Heart of Origin?" The Ice God suddenly looked at Li Yunjing. "Young Master Li, this is no small matter. The Heart of Origin is the foundation of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm. Once destroyed, the entire Primordial Beginning Dao Realm will be thrown into turmoil, and it may even cause the collapse of the Dao Laws, resulting in widespread suffering."

Li Yunjing waved his hand. "I don't intend to completely destroy the Heart of Origin, but rather to shatter the divine soul imprints that the three Dao Lords have entrusted to it, severing their connection with the Origin. In this way, they will no longer be able to resurrect through the Origin."

"Moreover, the Dao principles of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm have always been monopolized by the three Dao Lords, resulting in incompleteness. Breaking their monopoly will actually allow the Dao principles to gradually improve themselves, which is a good thing, not a bad thing, for all living beings in the world."

The Ice God's eyes lit up. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that! All we need to do is shatter their soul imprints! This way, they can't be resurrected, and the foundation of their Dao Realm won't be damaged!"

He looked at Li Yunjing, his eyes full of admiration.

No wonder this young man from another world was able to get this far; not only is he incredibly strong, but his mind is also far beyond that of ordinary people.

Li Yunjing said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, let's go all the way. While the Azure Emperor and the White Emperor are still unaware of the Scarlet Emperor's death, let's send troops directly to the Central Holy Domain to attack the Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain and eliminate them completely."

"But..." Xue Weng hesitated, "The Azure Emperor and the White Emperor are both peak experts at the Dao Union Perfection, and Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain is their stronghold, heavily defended. Our current strength is probably not enough."

The Ice God nodded in agreement. "Xue Weng is right. The combined strength of the Azure Emperor and the White Emperor far surpasses that of the Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain Scarlet Emperor. Moreover, Mount Taishi is protected by countless restrictions and a powerful army of Holy Domain. With our current strength, the chances of defeating Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain are slim."

Li Yunjing smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I have my own plans."

He turned to the crowd and calmly issued his orders. "Ice God, you will immediately unite all forces in the Northern Domain. Three days later, lead your army south and assemble around the outer perimeter of the Central Holy Domain."

"Yes, young master!" the Ice God bowed and replied.

"Xue Weng, you are familiar with the terrain of the Northern Domain; assist the Ice God in organizing the army."

"Yes, sir!"

"Hei Feng, after we return to the Eastern Domain, assist Qingyun in integrating all the troops. Tell them that the general offensive is imminent, and have everyone prepare to await my orders."

"Yes, my lord!" Hei Feng replied hastily.

After arranging affairs in the three domains, Li Yunjing continued, "I will return to the Tianyuan Realm to request reinforcements from the sects. When I return with the sects' strength, it will be time for the final assault on Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain."

"Return to the Tianyuan Realm?!"

Everyone was stunned. Crossing the Greater Thousand Dao Realm was something they considered utterly unbelievable.

The Ice God stared at Li Yunjing in shock. "Young Master, the Dao Realm passage... has it stabilized enough for us to travel back and forth at will?"

"Hmm." Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "I'll go back for a while and be back soon. Until I return, you only need to gather around the outer perimeter of the Holy Domain, remain still, and do not launch a rash attack."

"Understood, young master, rest assured," the Ice God said solemnly. "We will definitely wait for your return before launching our final offensive."

The agreement was reached, and everyone continued their discussion without further delay.

The Ice God remained in the Ice God Palace, issuing orders to all the tribes of the Northern Domain to prepare for war.

Xue Weng traveled extensively, making connections with various forces in the Northern Domain.

Li Yunjing, along with Hei Feng and Fairy Hongling, left the Ice God Palace and headed south, returning to the Eastern Region Holy Temple via the teleportation array of the Southern Region Holy Temple.

Inside the Eastern Region Holy Temple, Qingyun, who was guarding the place, had already received the news and was waiting outside the temple.

"Senior, you're back!" Qingyun quickly stepped forward and bowed.

When he saw Hei Feng and Fairy Hongling behind Li Yunjing, but not Ice God, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

As Li Yunjing walked inside, he said calmly, "The Scarlet Emperor is dead."

"What?!" True Person Qingyun was shocked and abruptly raised his head, his face full of disbelief. "Senior... you mean Lord Scarlet Emperor... no, the Scarlet Emperor is dead?"

"Hmm." Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "I joined forces with the Ice God to kill the Scarlet Emperor in the Northern Domain. However, the three Dao Lords are bound to the origin of the Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain and can be resurrected. Next, we will launch a full-scale attack on the Central Holy Domain to completely eliminate them."

True Person Qingyun was stunned for a long time before he could process this shocking news.

His body trembled slightly with excitement, and his voice trembled as he exclaimed, "That's wonderful! That's truly wonderful! Senior, you are incredibly powerful!"

One of the three mountains weighing heavily on everyone's hearts has finally fallen!

"Don't be too happy yet." Li Yunjing waved his hand. "The Azure Emperor and the White Emperor are still here, and the defenses of the Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain should not be underestimated."

I need to return to my sect and request reinforcements.

During my absence, you will continue to be fully responsible for affairs in the Eastern Domain.

At the same time, orders were issued that all troops should prepare for a general offensive and be ready to be deployed at any time.

"Yes, senior!" True Person Qingyun replied solemnly.

Having arranged everything, Li Yunjing vanished from his spot in an instant.

Tianyuan Dao Realm, Luozhen Sect, Teleportation Array.

Li Yunjing appeared in the teleportation array.

The disciple guarding the teleportation array was taken aback when he saw Li Yunjing, then overjoyed. "Sect Leader! You're back!"

Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "Yes, summon Elder Mo and the others. I have something important to discuss with them."

"Yes!"
