Chapter 763: Chapter 736: Chaos Begins
On an island in the Endless Sea, a stone pillar exudes a spiritual light.
Driven by an invisible force, it rises into mid-air and then splits open, transforming into a teleportation array light marker.
Finally, the space force starts to gather here, and when it reaches its extreme, a huge Hidden Spirit Island appears above the island.
It then slowly descends onto the island.
All the people and members of the Demon Clan on Hidden Spirit Island emerge from the Core World.
"Master said that he'll need half a year for Closed-door Cultivation this time. I wonder if the Elder Council can hold off the Golden Winged Ric during this half a year," Li Xingci said as he looked at the raging Endless Sea outside the Hidden Spirit Island.
Before he left Hidden Spirit Island, he had received news from the Demon World.
The Incarnation of the Golden Winged Ric had arrived in the Demon World through a Cross-border Transfer Array.
"Pu Tao told me that we could withstand for half a year without a problem, but the Elder Council would lose half of its numbered strong people," Xu Gang sighed, clenching his fists, hating himself for being weak.
After all these years, he was still at the Integration Stage, not being able to share Master's worries.
"First, there's the Elder Council, and then there are the Immortal Cities without Mahayana stage strong ones to guard them. I don't know how many more will be slaughtered by the Demon Clan this time," Xu Yuexian said.
"Practice hard, and strive to share Master's worries when you're stronger," Wang Xiangchi said from the side, but his tone was getting weaker, as if he didn't even believe what he was saying.
Meanwhile, outside the Elder Council Headquarters.
The top Invincible Monster Venerable of the Demon Clan and the Sequence Elders of the Human Clan's Elder Council clash once again.
Spatial Fragmentation ensues, and the bodies of those at the Invincible Realm of both humans and demons float in midair.
Among them, the pure-blooded Qilin transforms into its true divine beast form, proudly standing in the Vast Void Domain, looking at the distant Golden Winged Ric.
"Little Qilin, today I'll let your Elder Council off easy."
"You're stronger than I thought. I'm looking forward to the day you become my mount," Golden Winged Ric said as he looked at the blood-soaked pure-blooded Qilin with satisfaction.
Only such a divine beast would be worthy of being his mount.
The pure-blooded Qilin gave the Golden Winged Ric a disdainful glance.
"Roar~"
Hearing this roar, the face of the Golden Winged Ric changed.
In the Great Thousand World, the Qilin Clan was a bit stronger than his Golden Winged Ric Clan.
The two clans were mortal enemies, often capturing and subduing each other to serve as mounts.
Just now, that pure-blooded Qilin meant to subdue the Golden Winged Ric as well and make him its mount.
Stepping on a golden phoenix, reaching the ninth heaven, this was the highest status in the Qilin Clan.
"I hope you can still talk tough in the future."
The Golden Winged Ric returns to the palace on the Heavenly Earth Turtle's head.
The Heavenly Earth Turtle takes steady steps, transporting the top Invincible Monster Venerable of the Demon Clan back to the Demon World.
After the Demon Clan disappears, Elder Ming Kong looks at the floating corpses of the Invincible Venerables in the Vast Void Domain, revealing a touch of bitterness.
Invincible Venerables are not easy to die since they all have avatars to be revived.
However, now that their true bodies have died, they have also lost the opportunity to advance to the Invincible Realm again.
"Three have died just as the battle started, half a year, sigh~" Ming Kong sighed.
"Eldest Brother, if it really is like you said after half a year, we can use other methods, we don't have to fight head-on," Elder Tianji appeared beside Ming Kong.
"I wish I didn't know, but I'm afraid this Golden Winged Ric won't give us time."
"His avatar's arrival in this world has a deadline, and the newly formed Will of Heaven will not allow him to exist here for long."
"Dragging on time will only play into the hands of the Demon Clan," Ming Kong said.
"Elder Ming Kong, shouldn't the Nine Phoenix Dynasty lend a hand?"
"Isn't the reason we allowed the Nine Phoenix Dynasty to exist for so long to deal with the current situation?" Elder Tianji said.
"No, we must have a fallback. If the Grandmaster's side fails, the Nine Phoenix Dynasty is our last chance for the rise of the human cultivators in the Cultivation World." Ming Kong shook his head, negating Elder Tianji's suggestion.
"The Supreme has said that, for any matter, we must make thorough preparations. If we push all our trump cards out at once, we'll be very passive."
"I understand." Elder Tianji felt it was a pity; if they mobilized the Nine Phoenix Dynasty, the Elder Council might not have suffered such a huge loss.
In the royal palace of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty.
At this moment, Feng Changning looked at the sky with a somewhat unsettled gaze.
Just a moment ago, she sensed the great battle taking place in the Vast Void Domain.
"The human and demon battle has started again." Feng Changning sighed.
Feng Changning wore the Nine Phoenix robe, with the golden light of the Human Clan's Dao morality flickering around her. The imperial demeanor of the Human Clan's Immortal Dynasty was already beginning to show.
The Nine Phoenix Dynasty's Qi Fortune real dragon also protected it.
At this time, a golden light flew in from the outside of the hall, landing in Feng Changning's hands.
Feng Changning frowned as she looked at the Jade Slip that fell into her hands.
"The Incarnation of Golden Winged Roc has descended, and the pure-blooded Qilin of the Human Clan's Elders Council can only barely resist."
"Is it time for our Nine Phoenix Dynasty to contribute?"
Six Merit and Destiny Real Dragons appeared beside Feng Changning, swimming around the Great Hall with her at the center.
At this moment, the Royal Master of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty entered the hall.
"Your Highness."
The Royal Master said nothing. After paying his respects, he just stood there, quietly watching Feng Changning.
"In our dynasty, is there a way to resist the Incarnation of the Golden Winged Roc?" Feng Changning asked.
"Unless Your Highness makes a contract with the Heavenly Dao of this world using the Human Clan's Merit and Destiny, forcing the Incarnation of the Golden Winged Roc away." the Royal Master replied.
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this matter; it's something the Elder Council should consider."
"Yeah, the more the Nine Phoenix Dynasty develops, the more I feel the strength of the Elder Council."
"I just don't know what the Elder Council is thinking when they allowed our Nine Phoenix Dynasty to develop for so many years?" Feng Changning looked puzzled. She had several guesses previously, but they were all denied by herself.
Just then, the voice of the palace guard came from outside.
"A messenger from the Elders Council requests an audience~"
"Let him in quickly." Feng Changning said.
An Esteemed One from the Elders Council enters from the outside of the hall.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"The messenger does not need to be overly courteous. Is there any order from the Elder Council?" Feng Changning asked. She had already prepared for dealing with the newly formed Will of Heaven.
"Elder Ming Kong has issued an order. There will be some turbulence in the Human and Demon Realms soon, so the Nine Phoenix Dynasty need not worry and just focus on developing."
The messenger from the Elder Council left after saying his piece and paying his respects.
Feng Changning and the Royal Master exchanged glances, and they both began to have a faint understanding of the Elder Council's intentions.
"In the end, it was my short-sightedness. I thought that with the development of our Nine Phoenix Dynasty, we would eventually have a conflict with the Elder Council."
"But with the existence of the Demon Clan, the Elder Council has no time to pay attention to our Nine Phoenix Dynasty."
"With this opportunity, our Nine Phoenix Dynasty will eventually become a presence like the Elder Council."
"It's just a little different from what I thought." Feng Changning sighed; she had wasted all these years of scheming and effort.
"The Elder Council is so magnanimous; we can't be petty."
"Send our top puppet army to the Demon World, and spare only the demons who have attached themselves to us. For the rest, they shall be extinguished!"
"I hope this can help the Elder Council's plan." Feng Changning said quietly.
