Chapter 207: Chapter 152: The Transfer of Power
After issuing the death order, Ji Yuyan ceased to speak, raising his hand to signal everyone to leave.
Geng Yiyang silently turned around, leading a group of elders from Taixuan Holy Land out of the Divine Palace.
Soon, the several great Holy Lands from the Southern Region and the True Immortal Noble Families of the Eastern Region dispersed, and the Immortal Sects of significant influence from the Western Region likewise left without further words.
The Western Region was the weakest among the three human territories, not one-tenth the strength of the Southern Region. The powerful beings from the Tongxuan Secret Realm could be counted on one's fingers, truly a Wilderness.
It was all because, in Ancient Times, the peak powerhouse above the Immortal King had cleaved with his sword across the place where the Western Region now lies, severing almost all of its Spirit Veins. The terrifying immortal power from the edge of his blade still lingered to this day.
Nowadays, the Western Region, backed by the Star Abyss, defended a corner alone, its life relatively difficult.
Within the Cangyun Realm, only the Five Great Holy Lands had a True Immortal-level foundation, and as for those noble families in the Eastern Region, at most, they only possessed one or two Immortal Treasures of low Quality.
After all the humans had dispersed, the Great Demons in the corner finally moved to prepare for their departure.
"Gentlemen, please hold on."
Ji Yuyan spoke up to stop them, his expression indifferent:
"Since the Demon Race has joined the Immortal Alliance, in this extraordinary time, you should follow the directives. I have no intention of dwelling on past grievances, but if you intend to scheme behind our backs, acting in secret while feigning compliance, I will bury the Northern Demon Plains first, ensuring that there will be no more demons in Cangyun."
In the recent days after receiving the news of the Outer Realm Passage, he had scoured the ancient records of Cangyun.
The last time the Cangyun Outer Realm Passage had opened, the human race suffered heavy losses, with the Northern Region Demon Race casting a shadow of interference from behind.
Within the Immortal Alliance, unity was not ironclad; those of a different kind certainly have different hearts. Enjoy new adventures from M V L
If not for the fact that the Demon Race doesn't monopolize Heavenly Fate. Both Demon Immortals and Human Immortals follow different paths to the same goal, and the Immortal Alliance needed this force to deal with external enemies, there wouldn't be such a peaceful scene today.
"We will heed your words."
The Great Demons exchanged glances, said nothing more, bowed deeply, and then turned to leave.
...
...
The brilliance of the sun on the horizon was gradually swallowed by the surface of the earth, and the black curtain rose as the stars shone brightly.
After all the powerhouses had dispersed, the Divine Palace was empty, the moonlight merging into the palace, bringing with it waves of cold, deathly stillness.
Ji Yuyan stood alone atop the Divine Palace, gazing into the cosmic starry sky, his fingertips moving lightly as he divined the will of heaven, calculating his own destiny.
After a while, he lowered his hands, a trace of confusion in his eyes, muttering to himself:
"A calamitous star weighs heavy, good fortune turns foreboding, the Life Chart is now in disorder..."
Before coming to Cangyun, he had already calculated his destiny, which indicated a narrow escape from danger, or a minor gain.
But now, upon re-calculation, the Life Chart had changed, the outcome unpredictable, with malevolent forces at play, suggesting that a great disaster was imminent.
Such a change was obviously due to some unforeseeable beings affecting the Heavenly Dao; perhaps this Outer Realm Passage had come for this very reason.
After a long time, Ji Yuyan took out a Gold Paper, using his finger as a pen, he wrote a letter home.
Moments later, the Gold Paper turned into light and disappeared into the vastness of the stars, leaving no trace.
Considering the considerable distance from the Immortal Alliance's teleportation point, it was too late for a round trip. Relying on his own power to cross the starry sky, by the time this letter home reached his homeland, it might already be thousands of years later.
"Court Immortal."
After a long while, Ji Yuyan looked up and softly called out.
Boom—
Thunderclouds appeared above the firmament, obscuring the starry sky far and wide, slowly opening a pair of giant eyes, deep within which red and mysterious colors flowed, with clearly visible pupils that conveyed a trace of obvious emotional fluctuation.
The rumbling voice of thunder conveyed the sounds of heaven.
"If I die in this Alien Realm today, should there be a chance in the future, please collect my remains, and send me back home, repaying the favor I owe from before," Ji Yuyan took in a deep breath, his tone carrying a hint of pleading.
With the Immortal Alliance behind him, he couldn't retreat from this battle; he could only fight to the death.
Crack—
Thunder suddenly burst forth, and the world was as bright as day. Intense lightning fell from the sky, forming Immortal Patterns mid-air, drifting behind Ji Yuyan's neck and solidifying into a silver thunder pattern.
In the next instant, the clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing the starry dome once more, all silent.
"Thank you."
After murmuring his gratitude, Ji Yuyan steadied himself, contemplating the impending battle.
As the patriarch of a major sect, ruling over several Star Domains, he was no stranger to cross-realm warfare; in fact, quite the opposite.
However, no one knew which world the newly appeared Spatial Passage led to.
The current Cangyun Realm was not like Ancient Times; the Heavenly Dao was too fragile for the terrifying power of the Holy Land's Immortal Treasures to be fully unleashed within Cangyun Realm. A full-blown battle here would amount to a war of annihilation.
The entire Great Realm would be reduced to ashes, no grass would remain, and it would become a land of deadly silence.
In that case, this battle would completely lose its meaning.
Therefore, the battlefield must not be within the Cangyun Realm.
At the moment the Spatial Passage opens, unleash all one's foundation, break directly into the other end of the passage, and then set up an Array to quickly establish a safe support point for cross-realm warfare. As long as there isn't too vast a power gap between the worlds, the battle can be fought.
Once the coordinates of the world are confirmed and sent back to the Immortal Alliance, there may be a chance to save oneself by stalling for time until the stronger beings above the True Immortals in the Alliance are unoccupied.
Even an ant strives to live; now at the Late Stage of Immortal Tribulation Realm, just one step away from True Immortal, Ji Yuyan naturally did not want to fall here.
