The Siege of Myriad Dharma, the Final Battle!
"Yes."
"Life is Fusheng hundred years. We, those who cultivate ourselves, merely live a few more years, for in the end, we all die and become nothing but a handful of dust..."
"Since we've lost, let's preserve the last shred of dignity."
"A loss is a loss. We cultivators, in the end, seek nothing more than a clear mind and a state of unfettered freedom..."
"It's better to live a glorious life than to live a wretched existence."
As he spoke--
Myriad Dharma True Person smiled with relief, but before that...
Their fearlessness doesn't mean their disciples should die with them. Too many are innocent; they deserve to live...
"Give the order..."
"Disciples willing to live and die with the sect should remain at their posts, distributing all sect resources to improve their strength as quickly as possible..."
"Those who are unwilling to fight to the death should be expelled from the sect, leave a sum of money for those who need it more, and then leave the island and flee for their lives..."
"Tell Great Qin that these islanders have all been expelled from our sect. We beg Great Qin to forgive them this once and spare their lives..."
The words fell to the ground--
The Hundred Skills True Person bowed to him and responded in a low voice:
"Yes..."
"I will obey the Supreme Lord's command!"
On the sea--
The Great Qin fleet has been fully assembled, with various forces joining the final battle, bringing together tens of thousands of cultivators...
The number of soldiers assembled by the True Martial Realm Warrior is as high as a million, and the number of Dao Foundation cultivator scattered throughout the heavens is at least three hundred...
Nearly 60-70% of the Dao Foundation cultivator in the entire Eight Immortals Sea have arrived!
The entire Dharma-Seeking Island was completely surrounded, inside and out, with the Dao Law permeating the entire sea area, causing Dao Law to constantly intertwine...
The entire sea fell silent!
Dark clouds loomed overhead, a fierce wind howled, the Tides surged, and torrential rain poured down...
A large number of the Myriad Dharma Sect disciples left the island, expelled from the sect, and became Rogue Cultivator, facing these lowly cultivators...
The Great Qin army deliberately opened a breach to allow these cultivators to escape.
This is a war of unification; there's no need to involve so many innocent lives. Besides, most of these people have low cultivation levels, with only a few being Dao Foundation cultivator...
These people pose little threat, so releasing them would naturally earn a good reputation, especially since the Great Qin aims to unify the Eight Seas...
Of course, one must possess both fame and martial prowess!
By advocating righteousness and benevolence, one can gain the approval of lower-level cultivators. With stability at the grassroots level, the empire is truly stable...
If violence is used to suppress violence, it will inevitably lose the hearts and minds of the people and alienate them!
This deal is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
A few days later--
The final battle erupted in full force. The Myriad Dharma Sect fought from the island, relying on the island's protective stronghold to continuously resist the overwhelming Law Technique attacks...
Then, one after another, the puppet beasts entered the sea from the coast...
They charged towards the Great Qin fleet, while the Great Qin side dispatched a horde of Demon Beast led by a dragon!
A dense array of dark figures clashed and fought on the seabed...
And above the sky—
Countless flying insects swarmed the sky, but the Great Qin dispatched Feather Race beasts to deal with them. The birds devoured the insects, like wolves among sheep, resulting in a one-sided and overwhelming defeat!
On the sea, giant figures rose up, these were Third-Tier stone golems formed by dozens of cultivators...
Meanwhile, the Great Qin also mobilized its Daoist army!
The Spirit-Coordinating Dao Soldiers, swarming forth, formed a wall of giant phantoms that clashed with the stone golem...
Even more Dao Foundation cultivator were engaged in fierce battles!
More often than not, however, it would be several Dao Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Great Qin side hunting down a Myriad Dharma Sect elder, sometimes even resulting in ten people attacking one...
Meanwhile, another group of Dao Foundation cultivator entered the lower-level battlefield!
When Dao Foundation clashed with a Qi Condensation, they could easily crush a group of them. Masses of the Myriad Dharma Sect disciples died, their deaths gruesome and tragic...
Ghosts rise, resentment surges!
When Blood Qi flourish, Myriad Dharma crumble!
A massive jade seal was slowly lifted into the air by Qin Xiao...
The three great demonic weapons of the demonic path: the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the Ghost King Seal, and the Nether Sha Sword. Qin Lu already possesses two of them, and this jade seal represents the combined strength of the Qin Clan clan's entire nation...
The third Law Treasure crafted for Qin Lu!
Ghost King Seal: Earth Burial!
This battle was a sacrifice of the entire Myriad Dharma Sect, used to refine this supreme treasure and help it successfully advance to the Fourth-Tier Law Treasure...
By then--
With the Ten Thousand Souls Banner: Heaven Burial, and suppress the might of Heaven!
With the Nether Sha Sword: God Devouring, suppress the virtue of man!
The Ghost King Seal: Earth Burial to suppress the earth's fortune!
With the Three Treasures, we carry the Three Paths, unite Heaven, Earth, and Man, stabilize the Three Cycles and Three Virtues, gather the myriad energies of the world, and concentrate them on the Qin Lu one man!
This is Qin Lu's envisioned path to the Nascent Soul stage...
While it can't be said that achieving the Nascent Soul stage is possible, starting preparations in advance will increase the chances of success when the core is shattered and the Nascent Soul is formed in the future!
And at this moment--
Above the heavens, in the depths of the nine heavens!
Qin Lu remained calm and composed, wiping the blade of his God Devouring Sword and sipping the finest Soul-Awakening Tea. His expression was casual, and he didn't care about the two people in front of him at all...
The Myriad Dharma True Person and the Hundred Skills True Person both sought battle with a death wish...
But Qin Lu completely ignored him!
This wasn't Qin Lu being arrogant or overconfident; rather, it was that unintentional look of disdain that was most hurtful...
And Qin Lu both sides --
On his left is the Demon King Cangyue, Haiyue; on his right is the Azure Dragon King, also known as the Azure Emperor, Qing Centipede; and beside him...
Furthermore, there were the Soul Frost Ghost King and the Seven Emotions Ghost King, two ghost kings who stood beside Qin Lu like guards, making Qin Lu appear like an unparalleled emperor!
With five Core Formation in a row, how could Qin Lu not have the right to be arrogant?!
"Seeking death?"
"Sacrificing oneself for the Tao?"
"Heh~, you overestimate yourselves and underestimate me far too much. Killing you is as easy as taking candy from a baby for me!"
"What right do you have to negotiate terms with me?"
Qin Lu stroked the God Devouring Sword as if admiring a peerless beauty; the oppressive aura emanating from it caused Myriad Dharma and Hundred Skills to tremble violently...
The overwhelming pressure, almost impossible to resist, made them swallow hard.
All his previous determination and pride were trampled under Qin Lu's feet and shattered to pieces at this moment. All talk of Jade Stone and fighting to the death...
In front of Qin Lu, that was nothing more than a minor skirmish!
Qin Lu didn't care at all. Crushing them was as easy as crushing a bug. Now he was giving them a chance to speak...
This was already Qin Lu's most merciful act!
They shouldn't have swallowed a single bite; they should both kneel down and say thank you...
"I'll give you one more chance."
"Think carefully about what to say and what not to say before you answer..."
"Whether you choose to commit suicide and leave with dignity, or I will help you, the choice is yours. If you depart with dignity, I can still preserve your lineage of Myriad Dharma..."
"If it's not dignified, then I'll make it dignified for you!"
