Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Celestial Yang Sacred Land, Annihilated!

“Boom——”

Thunder exploded throughout the Celestial Yang Sacred Land, and a tinge of sadness emerged in everyone’s hearts as remnants of bodies fell from the void, crashing heavily to the ground.

The earth collapsed.

Mountains shattered.

A drop of blood from a powerful Saint can weigh a thousand pounds, enough to crush the earth and mountains, possessing extraordinary might.

The new Celestial Yang Saint Master looked at the fallen body, despair showing in his eyes.

“Could it really be the heavens wish to destroy my Celestial Yang Sacred Land!”

The Cyan Yang Divine Court army was at the doorstep, Saint Shen Yang had fallen, and countless strong figures of the Celestial Yang Sacred Land had perished, with their strengths plummeting to freezing point.

Looking around, the entire Celestial Yang Sacred Land was engulfed in slaughter, and a large number of cultivators had fallen, their blood staining the earth red.

Indescribable despair rose in his heart, making the Celestial Yang Saint Master feel both angry and mournful.

Once upon a time, the Celestial Yang Sacred Land was illustrious, one of the three major Sacred Lands of the Ancient Wilderness.

It was believed that with the onset of the Golden Era, the Celestial Yang Sacred Land could stand out and suppress the other two Sacred Lands, becoming the number one Sacred Land in the Ancient Wilderness.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed too quickly.

As soon as the Golden Era began, the Celestial Yang Sacred Land plunged into a crisis of annihilation before it could stretch its wings.

At this moment.

A figure in green descended from mid-air, and the terrifying Sword Intent repressed but not unleashed making the Celestial Yang Saint Master’s heart tremble, his Divine Soul shivering uncontrollably.

Especially as the long sword in his hand trickled blood, and each drop that fell to the ground left a terrifying deep pit, with an overwhelming divine power particularly harrowing.

This is the blood of a Saint, from Saint Shen Yang’s body.

“I am willing to lead the Celestial Yang Sacred Land in submission, hoping the Cyan Yang Divine Court can leave a way out for the Sacred Land!”

The Celestial Yang Saint Master said sorrowfully.

For a Saint from a Sacred Land to utter such words was undoubtedly a loss of all dignity.

But the current situation no longer allowed the Celestial Yang Saint Master to hesitate. If the Cyan Yang Divine Court did not stop, the Celestial Yang Sacred Land would surely vanish here.

“If you had been willing to surrender earlier, the Celestial Yang Sacred Land might have had a way out, but now, the Celestial Yang Sacred Land must be destroyed!”

Aoba shook his head slightly, his expression indifferent as he spoke.

His words left the Celestial Yang Saint Master’s face filled with despair.

Just as he was about to say something, Aoba no longer gave him the chance to speak. The Reincarnation Sword Dao slashed through the void, and the condensed, tangible Sword Gang left the Celestial Yang Saint Master terrified.

No time to think, the Celestial Yang Saint Master immediately defended with all his might, Gang Qi and blood energy emerging, yet unable to withstand the edge of the Sword Gang.

In an instant, the Gang Qi shattered.

The Celestial Yang Saint Master tapped his toes lightly, his whole body madly retreating.

Just as he thought he had escaped danger, a piece of a long sword pierced through the void, breaking through the defense on his back, and then protruding from his chest.

The intense pain struck, making the Celestial Yang Saint Master instinctively lower his head, only to see the blood-stained long sword reflected in his eyes.

Before he could react, the long sword was withdrawn, immediately followed by a heavy handprint on his back, and an enormous power erupted, sending the Celestial Yang Saint Master flying horizontally.

Upon landing, the Celestial Yang Saint Master struggled to stand back up, his chest pierced, causing his life to drain away. He finally saw clearly the person who had made the move.

However.

A True Monarch’s power ultimately could not compare to a Saint. Bearing this fatal sword, the Celestial Yang Saint Master could not hold on much longer, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

To his death.

The Lord of the Celestial Yang Sacred Land had his eyes wide open, his face fixed with an expression of unwillingness, never to make another sound.

“The Celestial Yang Saint Master is dead. Next is the annihilation of the entire Celestial Yang Sacred Land!”

As Aoba spoke, he looked at Ye Jiu with a peculiar gaze. The other’s assassination techniques were eerie and concealed, playing a significant role even in the killing of Saint Shen Yang.

Aoba was passionate about the Sword Dao, and over the years had challenged many Sword Dao experts in the Immortal Extinction Realm, though very few could truly threaten him.

Upon witnessing Ye Jiu’s bizarre assassination Sword Dao techniques, naturally, he was somewhat intrigued.

However.

Aoba also understood that it wasn’t the time for a duel yet. Though Saint Shen Yang and the Celestial Yang Saint Master had already fallen, there were still quite a number of powerful figures within the Celestial Yang Sacred Land.

If these powerful figures weren’t completely eradicated, they would become a future concern for the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

Soon.

Aoba tapped his toe lightly, his entire being shot forward like an arrow from a bowstring, heading toward other cultivators of the Celestial Yang Sacred Land.

Simultaneously, Ye Jiu also vanished, expressionless, hidden within the void.

Saint Shen Yang and the Celestial Yang Saint Master had fallen, leaving the Celestial Yang Sacred Land with some strong figures, yet unable to withstand the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s army.

As time passed, the resistance of the Celestial Yang Sacred Land weakened more and more, and the fall of numerous strong figures left the entire Celestial Yang Sacred Land soaked in blood, the stench of which lingered.

Meanwhile.

Gu Qingyang’s Heavenly Dao Origin and Evolution Value rapidly soared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“After the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, the Celestial Yang Sacred Land also falls into history. Only the Taixu Sacred Land remains, incapable of holding on for much longer, I suppose!”

Gu Qingyang felt no ripple of emotion over the massacre of the Celestial Yang Sacred Land. In wars between worlds, there was no right or wrong, only a clash of interests from different stances.

If the Cyan Yang Divine Court had lost back then, it would be the beings of the Cyan Yang realm suffering slaughter now.

By the same token.

With the Cyan Yang Divine Court now in power, it became inevitable for the three Sacred Lands to be defeated and be the ones facing slaughter.

If war doesn’t start, it won’t start; if it starts, it is destined to annihilate one side completely.

The saying goes, ’cut the grass and eliminate the roots to prevent future troubles.’

Gu Qingyang did not wish for a moment’s compassion to give the Celestial Yang Sacred Land a chance to rise. He especially did not want to stand before a top powerhouse years later, hearing them say, ’Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.’

“The three Sacred Lands must be destroyed so I can find peace of mind. Once the three Sacred Lands perish, what’s left of the Ancient Wilderness forces poses no concern.”

With the current momentum of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, it wouldn’t be too difficult to subdue these forces.

Once the entire Ancient Wilderness is embraced under the Cyan Yang Divine Court, the number of my followers will greatly increase, hastening the harvest of faith.

If I can step into the Ninth Order shortly, looking at the entire Cosmic Starry Sky, few will truly pose a threat to me!”

Ninth Order!

This is Gu Qingyang’s goal.

After all, the strongest beings in the Cosmic Starry Sky are at the Ninth Order level.

If he can enter the Ninth Order, Gu Qingyang will have the confidence to face the entire Cosmic Starry Sky.

Moreover.

With the continuous invasion of the Cyan Yang Divine Court, Gu Qingyang vaguely sensed that the sleeping Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Extinction Realm was somewhat disturbed, as if it was about to awaken.

Obviously.

This was due to the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s massive invasion, agitating the sleeping Heavenly Dao.

Naturally, in such a situation, Gu Qingyang could not cease his efforts. Instead, he would hasten his pace, ensuring he could contend with the Ninth Order Heavenly Dao before it fully awoke in the Immortal Extinction Realm.
