Chapter 1125: Chapter 538: The Order of the Immortal Ancestor! War Begins

“Gathering one hundred thousand Heavenly Immortals from the Seven Great Dao Courts?”

“Full-scale war?” The nineteen Heavenly Monarch-level powerhouses present were shocked upon hearing the words of Hong Guang, the Taoist Ancestor.

In long ages past, the Dao Courts had instigated wars more than once, but they had mostly ended in failure.

“Taoist Ancestor,” a Heavenly Monarch with faint flames flickering around him couldn’t help but say, “In the territory of the Dao Court, borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao, at most we can form a grand formation with eight hundred Heavenly Immortals, possessing unfathomable strength.”

“But in the Myriad Spring Void, which lies beyond the coverage of the Heavenly Dao, the power of heaven and earth we can muster will greatly weaken, capable of forming a formation with a hundred Heavenly Immortals at most, but such a formation, even led by us Heavenly Monarchs, is far inferior to that of Si Wu, the True God.”

The greatest advantage the Heavenly Immortals have over True Gods is their ability to perfectly form formations with one another.

But the precondition is that they must be within the coverage of the Heavenly Dao.

In the Myriad Spring Void, there exists another layer of origin which imposes some suppression on the Heavenly Immortals.

Before Hong Guang, the Taoist Ancestor could respond.

“Taoist Ancestor,” another Heavenly Monarch respectfully said, “that Seven Stars Pseudo-God is also a major threat. His strength was already terrifying hundreds of years ago, and he has probably become a True God by now, likely mightier than Si Wu, the True God.”

“Indeed!”

“That Seven Stars Pseudo-God is also very terrifying; he once single-handedly killed Tong Lian Heavenly Monarch and five others.” Other Heavenly Monarchs chimed in.

They do not fear war.

But launching a war so recklessly, the consequences are too unpredictable.

“For the cultivation of the Immortal Ancestor, as a member of the Dao Court, are you afraid of death?” Hong Guang, the Taoist Ancestor said coldly, his icy gaze sweeping over each of the Heavenly Monarchs present.

The hall immediately fell silent.

The group of Heavenly Monarchs dared not truly oppose the Taoist Ancestor… The higher their rank on the Immortal Ascension Record, the greater their fear.

After a long while.

“Rest assured!”

“What you worry about, we Seven Great Ancestors have already considered.” Hong Guang’s voice became gentle again.

He understood that it still took this group of Heavenly Monarchs to lead in war.

“The weakening of the Myriad Spring Void’s origin will further reduce the suppression on you. As their strength wanes and ours strengthens, the might of Heavenly Dao will naturally increase,” said Hong Guang. “In the Myriad Spring Void, as long as you do not enter the Life God Realm, you can form the most complete ’Nine Heavens Star Formation’ in other Life Spring Realms, with not the slightest fear of Si Wu, the True God.”

The eyes of the Heavenly Monarchs brightened at this.

The Nine Heavens Star Formation is the strongest defensive formation created by the Taoist Ancestor for the immortal army under him.

But formations also have various levels, with the ones formed by True Immortals being simplified versions.

The most complete ’Nine Heavens Star Formation’ is formed by 360 Heavenly Immortals, creating a formation whose might is incredibly terrifying, approaching the extreme limits permitted under the Heavenly Dao, nearly akin to a Heavenly Divine.

And under the leadership of Heavenly Monarchs?

The power would be absolutely extraordinary.

“Additionally.”

“Regarding that Seven Stars Pseudo-God, you can rest assured that he is currently still in the Void God Realm,” said Hong Guang, the Taoist Ancestor.

The Heavenly Monarchs were surprised; still in the Void God Realm?

“I and the other six Great Ancestors have long been aware of the matter of the ’Seven Stars Pseudo-God’ and have been devising countermeasures over the years,” Hong Guang said indifferently. “We Seven Great Ancestors have forged a new batch of special immortal artifacts, which can be used for joint soul defense… The formations under your Heavenly Monarch leadership, coupled with these artifacts, should not fear his soul attacks, greatly diminishing his effectiveness.”

“Understood.”

“Thank you, Taoist Ancestor.”

“We will surely win this war.” These Heavenly Monarchs finally had hope for winning the war.

“Go, prepare diligently.”

“Once the formations and immortal artifacts are perfectly coordinated, mobilize the army,” Hong Guang, the Taoist Ancestor waved his hand.

The many Heavenly Monarchs withdrew.

And the figure of Hong Guang, the Taoist Ancestor, suddenly transformed into countless points of light, disappearing within Hongguang Palace.

Soon after.

In the depths of time and space in the Heavenly Realm, there lies an extremely mysterious place, where various majestic origin forces intersect and collide.

The Law of Metal, the Law of Wood, the Law of Fire… If a powerful cultivator were to arrive, they would surely sense that the origin powers of the Seven Great Laws are interwoven here, immensely strong.

Moreover, a slight contemplation would reveal with shock that in this place, sensing the origin of the Seven Fundamental Laws happens without any hindrance.

However!

A huge, thick book, slightly ethereal in its entirety, spans the void. It contains a hint of supreme Dao rhythm, almost transcending space-time, completely imprisoning the fluctuations of the Seven Great Laws.

Keeping them from escaping this void.

And within that gigantic book, countless figures flickered indistinctly.

Whoosh!

The figure of Hong Guang, the Taoist Ancestor appeared, followed by the emergence of other figures. Each of them emanated an aura that was vast and ethereal, seemingly incarnations of the Dao.

They were indeed the Seven Great Taoist Ancestors of the Dao Court.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the orders of war have been issued,” Hong Guang, the Taoist Ancestor said slowly. “This battle, after countless ages, has again received the command of the Immortal Ancestor and must not be neglected.”

“Hmm!”

“Understood.” The other six Great Ancestors couldn’t help but nod.

For countless ages, they had been stationed in this world’s heavens, fulfilling their duties smoothly.

“That Seven Stars, is he truly just a demigod?” A figure in golden robes slowly asked, “Are you certain he won’t break through to become a Pseudo-God? Or even a True God?”

“We have jointly used the ’Power of the Heavenly Dao’ to deduce, and his presence can’t be found within the world’s origin,” Hong Guang, the Taoist Ancestor replied. “If he had truly ignited the divine fire, his presence would illuminate the Time River, and there’s no way it would escape our inquiry.”

“Moreover, according to the message transmitted by the Immortal Ancestor, this Seven Stars Demigod supposedly comes from another Divine Realm, and behind him lies the enemy of the Immortal Ancestor…”

“The Immortal Ancestor, of how immense strength?”

“Since the Life God King severed the heavens and earth, sealing the Cosmic Realm, even the Immortal Ancestor cannot act forcefully again, only able to establish a pseudo Heavenly Dao,” Hong Guang said softly. “However, the enemies of the Immortal Ancestor can still send the Seven Stars Demigod directly here; their methods are beyond our imagination.”

“Presumably, it’s someone from the ’God Emperor Realm’ said to stand at the pinnacle of the All Universe Realm.”

All the Great Ancestors couldn’t help but nod.

Previously, they had been in those silent areas of the Divine Realm, conducting investigations, refinement in accordance with the Immortal Ancestor’s command… They had rushed back upon receiving the order.

When they received the order, they were also shocked.

Could a demigod really be so powerful?

It’s simply unimaginable.

The operation of heaven and earth, each life level has its own power limit… At the Semi Divine Realm, logically speaking, it shouldn’t be this strong.

“According to the records we’ve obtained, in the Star God System, some extremely prodigious individuals, if they awaken the Ten-Star Meridian, will possess unimaginable strength.” A Taoist Ancestor in a fiery red robe slowly said, “This Seven Stars Semi-Divine might just be a Ten-Star Meridian Semi-Divine.”

“Ten-Star Meridian Semi-Divine? No matter how strong, it’s ultimately just a demigod,” another Taoist Ancestor replied.

“Originally.”

“Our best approach is to wait for that Seven Stars Semi-Divine to leave, for Si Wu to grow old and die… then instigate war again.”

“But the Immortal Ancestor commands, we must try to force that Seven Stars Semi-Divine to appear, strive to kill him,” Hong Guang Taoist Ancestor’s gaze swept across the other six Taoist Ancestors, “Be ready.”

“When the crucial moment comes, we’ll spare no expense to descend,” Hong Guang Taoist Ancestor declared solemnly.

“Hmm.” The other Taoist Ancestors all nodded.

…

Numerous Heavenly Immortals from the Seven Dao Courts gathered, and the news swiftly transmitted through some hidden lines to the Myriad Spring Void.

The Life Divine Realm.

Many Elder Palace Masters gathered together to meet the Grand Hall Master Si Wu.

“You should be aware of the situation,” Si Wu Hall Master slowly said, “Heavenly Immortals from the Seven Dao Courts have gathered from various realms to the Heavenly Realm, obviously planning to initiate a new full-scale war.”

“Full-scale war?”

“Then let’s fight!”

“In the Life Spring Realm, with the suppression of the World Tree Origin, they cannot form overly strong formations.”

“Their Heavenly Immortal births are slow, even if we exchange one life for another, with each death of one of our generations, their power will significantly weaken.” The Elder Palace Masters showed no fear.

Over the long years, the two major forces have not just faced one full-scale war.

The Pantheon is weaker, their number of True Gods far fewer than Heavenly Immortals, but if defending, they have the advantage of terrain.

Moreover, the faster emergence of True Gods in the Pantheon far exceeds that of Heavenly Immortals… although the lifespan of Heavenly Immortals is much longer.

The hundred thousand Heavenly Immortals of the Seven Dao Courts are accumulated over the long years.

Therefore, as long as Dao Court cannot completely wipe out the Myriad Spring Void in one war, if it becomes a battle of attrition, the Pantheon shows no fear.

“This battle, the situation is very different.”

“The essence of the Holy Tree Origin is rapidly depleting,” Si Wu Hall Master slowly spoke, “And this is just the beginning. In the coming six years, it will continue to be depleted, ultimately consuming an estimated fifty percent of origin essence.”

“Fifty percent of origin essence?”

“So much?” All twelve Elder Palace Masters were completely shocked, they all remembered the recent ’World Tree Mutation.’

Perhaps the ordinary True Gods were unaware.

But these Elder Palace Masters understood well, the World Tree is the ’origin core’ of the entire Myriad Spring Void.

If the World Tree weakens, it leads to the weakening of the Myriad Spring Void Origin.

Then, the power Heavenly Immortals exhibit in the Myriad Spring Void is bound to surge, able to form even stronger formations.

“Is it the inheritance accepted by the Seven Stars brothers?” Mo Hai Hall Master immediately realized.

“Hmm.” Si Wu Hall Master nodded, “The Supreme Treasure left by the Life God King, the Seven Stars brothers have completed recognition, but the recognition process consumed too much of the Holy Tree.”

“The essence of origin occupies only a small part of the Holy Tree’s power, yet is the core foundation controlling the void origin,” Si Wu True God sighed lightly, “With the passage of time, the Holy Tree can slowly recover.”

“But during the years of recovery of the Holy Tree’s origin, facing this war, we will be very challenged,” Si Wu Hall Master made no secret of it.

The Elder Palace Masters also fell into contemplation.

A little analysis revealed it’s unavoidable that Dao Court will not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“Seven Stars brothers, can they intervene?” Mo Hai Hall Master immediately asked, “Even if he hasn’t become a Pseudo-God, with his power… especially the soul attack, it may cause great damage to Dao Court’s army.”

“With the Seven Stars brothers present, the hope of surviving this battle will greatly increase.”

In the war of cultivators, a superpower can stand against thousands.

“Seven Stars will return, but it’ll take six years,” Si Wu Hall Master slowly said, “We must endure those six years.”

“Fight with all we have!”

…

Amidst the turbulence of the external situation, Li Yuan, residing within the World Tree, was unaware.

Si Wu Hall Master did not tell him, and the World Tree actively isolated transmissions from others.

Thus, Li Yuan quietly immersed himself in comprehending the Space Law.

In the Origin Power Space, the emerald green ’source seed’ continued to absorb origin essence from the World Tree endlessly.

In the blink of an eye, another five years passed.

Within the Hall of Inheritance.

In Li Yuan’s Origin Power Space, that emerald green ’source seed’ suddenly radiated intensely, then it completely reached a state of perfection, unable to absorb the pure power from the World Tree any longer.

The entire hall swiftly returned to tranquility.

“This source seed absorbed for a full eight years and finally reached perfection?” Li Yuan’s heart was moved.

Before he could think further.

“Buzz~” The emerald green source seed suddenly exploded into countless fragments, transforming into waves of mysterious power that permeated throughout the Origin Power Space.

Waves of mystical fluctuation emerged.

And there were also strands of miraculous forces born.

Scorching flames, earth-yellow air currents, dazzling purple lightning, golden rays… Numerous fascinating powers completely integrated with Li Yuan’s Origin Power Space.

At this moment.

Li Yuan’s Origin Power Space underwent an unimaginable Transformation once again.

“My sense of the Seven Fundamental Laws Origins?”

“This?”

“Is this the function of the source seed?” Li Yuan felt an overwhelming shock and found it somewhat incredible.
