Chapter 46: Day 2: The Eastern Lands
In the Eastern Lands, chaos and endless wars reigned. The ongoing battle between the two most powerful holy lands of the Eastern Lands intensified, with countless bodies strewn across the ground. The debris of war led to numerous casualties, regardless of whether they were involved or not. The atmosphere was shrouded in the sounds of sorrowful cries and palpable tension.
"This is the territory of our Heavenly Deer Sacred Land!" one man shouted loudly. "So, get out! Otherwise, don't say we were cruel!"
"This land belongs to us, the Fire Crow Sacred Land!" another man retorted fiercely.
Both sides argued fiercely, neither willing to back down. They fought intensely, swords and all kinds of weapons clashing with each other, resonating across the battlefield. Suddenly, a massive shadow blotted out the light above them. It was so large that everyone froze in place and looked up at the sky.
They saw a giant jade boulder plummeting down at high speed. Everyone could sense the imminent danger. They decided to flee, but out of nowhere, a roaring fire erupted, forming a wall of flames around them, preventing any escape, either by foot or by flight.
"Can you control your fire any better?" a cold voice whispered from somewhere in the air.
"I'm doing my best; stop complaining," another voice replied.
Suddenly, one of the men noticed the shadow of two figures—a man and a woman—with several more people behind them. They appeared on the horizon, standing tall and striking, bearing a certain sect's emblem. The moment everyone saw the symbol, their legs trembled, for the two were the Lords of the Fallen Sky Blood Sect, a sect notorious for its ruthless and merciless ways, whose mere hundreds of disciples had slain many supreme emperors.
"You accursed Fallen Heaven Blood Sect! What do you want?" one of the bold men shouted angrily.
But there was no response. In an instant, the giant jade boulder came crashing down on them with such force that no one could escape. All were crushed to death, their last cries drowned out by the sound of the stone hitting the ground.
Dust filled the air. The man and woman stood silently, not even flinching. They merely watched with calm, cold eyes. The Eastern Lands, once filled with the sounds of slaughter, had now turned into a silent graveyard, as if the cruelty of war had come to an end, leaving only death and destruction in its wake.
Mu Shu Yuan stood in the middle of the battlefield, her eyes gleaming coldly. She scanned the remaining people with indifference before speaking in a firm and decisive voice, "Kill them all. Don't let anyone escape!"
The disciples and elders of the Fallen Heaven Blood Sect obeyed in unison, "Yes, sir!" They charged into the remaining crowd, slaughtering everyone without leaving a single survivor. Blood splattered across the ground, and the cries of those drawing their final breaths echoed in all directions.
Soon after, Gao Yuan and Mu Shu Yuan parted ways. They decided that splitting up to destroy the various sacred lands would speed up their purge. Mu Shu Yuan chose one path, while Gao Yuan headed in the other direction, each taking half of their forces, with the same goal: to obliterate everything.
At the Heavenly Deer Sacred Land, cries of pain and suffering filled the air. A man with semi-immortal cultivation stared at Gao Yuan in panic, speaking in a trembling voice.
"How are you this powerful? This strength shouldn't be possible... You, members of the Fallen Heaven Blood Sect..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Yuan smiled coldly. He raised his finger and snapped it lightly. The man was instantly engulfed in flames, his screams lasting only a moment before falling silent. The Heavenly Deer Sacred Land, once a mighty ruler of half the Eastern Lands, had now been reduced to mere ashes, unrecognizable as the grand place it once was.
Elsewhere, a massive jade mountain stood amidst piles of corpses. Many had been turned into jade or brutally slaughtered. This was once the home of the Fire Crow Sacred Land. An elderly woman, one of the few survivors, knelt before Mu Shu Yuan, her body slowly turning to jade. She spoke in a quivering, hopeless voice, "We surrender... Please, I beg you... spare the young ones..."
Before she could finish, her body fully transformed into jade. Mu Shu Yuan gazed at her with cold, merciless eyes. Raising her hand, she unleashed a terrifying power from her body.
"Mercy? You should have begged me from the start, but now it's too late!"
With that, she released shards of jade imbued with destructive power. The elderly woman and the remaining survivors were utterly annihilated. The place was now devoid of life, devoid of mercy. Mu Shu Yuan walked away indifferently, leaving behind only the cold sound of her voice. "Weakness is truly terrifying..."
After eliminating all resisting forces, the Fallen Sky Blood Sect wasted no time. They gathered all the resources from the lands they had conquered and delivered them to the elder guardians immediately. Everyone in the sect was given clear orders to head for the central region without delay.
Meanwhile, the Reincarnation Mire, with its mysterious powers and deep schemes, had gathered every available resource, from magical weapons to spirit stones and beyond. More importantly, the Reincarnation Mire had captured the remaining seven Children of Fortune.
With these seven in hand, the Reincarnation Mire used its special power to activate a complex formation that encompassed the entire continent. This power infiltrated everyone within its range, without selection, regardless of who they were, their gender, or their age. It remained completely unnoticed, with no one able to detect its presence. Life continued for all, oblivious to the changes taking place.
The Western Continent, once filled with vitality and abundant spiritual energy, had now been devastated, with destruction evident everywhere. Spiritual energy rapidly diminished, leaving behind only ordinary spiritual veins. Those who remained on this continent were filled with sorrow, left only with disappointment. They blamed themselves for their inability to protect their land, too weak to stand against such a cruel world.
