"What the hell?!" Bai Xu shouted as he watched the lightning dragon that seemed to possess a life of its own. "Looks like I have no other choice!"Since the lightning dragon showed no signs of stopping its pursuit, Bai Xu decided to destroy the attack head-on.The lightning dragon let out a deafening roar. The moment its jaws opened wide, Bai Xu thrust forward, releasing a spiral wind energy that resembled a giant drill.The attack shot straight into the lightning dragon's mouth, yet it failed to stop the dragon in the slightest."How can it be this powerful?!" Bai Xu increased the intensity of his wind energy output.It managed to slow the lightning dragon down.Yes, only slow it down—not stop it."Impossible!"Bai Xu had already gone all out, yet the lightning dragon still reached him.He now found himself directly between the dragon's upper and lower jaws.The dragon's mouth snapped shut, swallowing Bai Xu whole.Throughout the entire exchange, Tian Zhu merely watched from the side

With remarkable ease, Tian Zhu destroyed two sects: the White Tiger Sect and the Northern Sword Sect. Both sects were wiped out, all of their treasures were looted, and those who surrendered were imprisoned in the detention cells of their own sects.After that, Tian Zhu began targeting the remaining sects. He only focused on the major sects, while the medium and lower-tier sects throughout the Northern Region were left alone. They would not be able to accomplish anything anyway, and dealing with them would only waste time.By the time the sun rose in the east, half of the major sects in the Northern Region had already been completely conquered. All of their treasures had been plundered, all of their high-ranking figures had been killed, and those who surrendered were taken captive.In reality, being a prisoner was no different from being a slave. Prisoners could be used as test subjects for medicines and various experiments, used as bait or meat shields if war broke out in the future,

The scouts stationed at the border had already spotted the enemy forces approaching from two different directions. They immediately rushed back to report the news so that the Earth God Sect could prepare for full alert.The enemy army advancing from the Eastern Region was led by several Sect Masters. However, among them was one individual who was not a Sect Master, yet his aura was far stronger than theirs.He was Xue Ling, the ancestor of the Ice God Sect and a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.The Eastern Region indeed possessed a cultivator at that level. He had not shown himself during the previous wars because he had no interest in dealing with conflicts between sects unless his sect faced a genuine crisis.Now, the Ice God Sect was facing exactly such a crisis.The Earth God Sect threatened to conquer all four regions and had already wiped out every major sect in the Northern Region. Naturally, this could not be ignored, so Xue Ling personally stepped forward.The moment they c

The Western Thunder Sect was not a branch of the Heavenly God Sect, so they were not provided with cultivation techniques or resource supplies. However, they were still subordinate to the Heavenly God Sect and were required to hand over ten percent of their annual revenue.Although that amount was far less than what branch sects had to contribute—half of their annual income—the branch sects still benefited greatly because they received a steady supply of resources and higher-quality cultivation techniques.After blocking Gu Song's attack, Ming Tu did not remain idle. He immediately shot forward, targeting his opponent.**Tian Zhu had already positioned his forces in two different directions. The troops had been divided evenly and were stationed several kilometers away from the sect, far enough to prevent the battle's aftermath from destroying the sect itself.Tian Zhu was stationed on the eastern front, leading the forces against the cultivators from the Eastern Region."This will be

Western Sector of the Earth God SectUnlike Tian Zhu, who possessed countless tricks, the Elders leading the western forces launched a coordinated assault from the very beginning. A massive and chaotic battle erupted, devastating the surrounding area.Because of the overwhelming number of combatants, someone was bound to die from stray attacks every minute. This was especially true for cultivators at the Earth Spiritual Realm and below, who had to fight on the ground because they could not fly. They were highly vulnerable to being struck by stray attacks, whether from enemies or even their own allies.Everyone was naturally aware of this, so cultivators at the Heaven Spiritual Realm and above chose to distance themselves from the main battlefield to avoid accidentally harming their own forces.Even so, stray attacks still claimed lives. In a war of this scale, such things were difficult to avoid and could only be minimized.The Earth God Sect's ground forces were heavily outnumbered.
