Chapter 460 The Evil Clan's Unsuccessful Start! A Secret Maneuver! Laying the Foundation
The fact that the Great Ape King and the Kunpeng Ancestor did not appear at the Northern Wilderness Hill was noticed by some, but no one paid much attention to it.
Because both the Great Xia Dynasty and the Yunlan Sect have demonstrated an incredibly strong foundation, far exceeding everyone's expectations.
In this situation, even if two late-stage Saint-level experts were absent, no one would think much of it.
Many even believed that victory was assured and that the extraterrestrial evil race would never return.
Of course, the reason they had this idea was because they didn't have a deep understanding of the extraterrestrial evil race.
Although most of these people had been to the border battlefields, very few had actually ventured beyond the borders.
Without venturing beyond the realm and confronting the true power of the evil races there, one cannot know the vast difference between a high realm and the evil races.
In fact, the evil race could completely break ties with the Great Thousand Realms and would have a very good chance of winning.
At least until Chu Yang appeared, this was beyond doubt.
The problem is that, although the extraterrestrial evil race has a strict class system, it also has great internal contradictions.
In particular, the thirty-two major clans, which belong to the same class, are not significantly different in strength.
The same applies to top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors; even the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor cannot be invincible beyond the realm.
Perhaps no one can defeat him in a one-on-one fight, but if the most powerful top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors were to join forces, the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor's strength would be insufficient.
Throughout history, there has only been one person who has been able to dominate the outer realms and make all evil races bow down to him: the Heavenly Evil God!
Ever since the Heavenly Evil God was sealed away, there has always been a subtle conflict between the thirty-two major clans.
This contradiction may not be apparent in ordinary times, but it will become a constraint on each other at critical moments.
For example, when facing the Great Thousand Demon Buddha, no one was willing to take the lead, not even the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor.
Because everyone knows very well that with the strength of the Great Thousand Demon Buddha, if one is not careful, the other party may trade their life for his.
The same attitude applies to the vast world; no one wants to be the first to act, nor do they want to cause serious damage to their own family members or risk their lives.
That's why they never completely broke ties, because even if they could conquer the entire Great Thousand Worlds, the evil race would pay a heavy price.
There is another reason, which is also the most crucial one, and that is the Heavenly Evil God!
In fact, some people among the extraterrestrial evil races knew that the Heavenly Evil God had voluntarily been sealed away.
Everyone is waiting for the Heavenly Evil God to break free from his seal and return to take charge of the situation.
There is no second Immortal Emperor in the Great Thousand Worlds. Once the Heavenly Evil God breaks the seal and returns to his peak, the extraterrestrial evil race will be able to rule the entire Great Thousand Worlds at minimal cost.
In fact, very few people in the Great Thousand Worlds truly know the true strength of the Evil Clan. These people are almost all late-stage Saint-level experts or hold extremely high positions in the Great Thousand Worlds.
Because it would be meaningless for anyone else to know these things, except for them.
Without the corresponding strength, there's no need to know or worry about things at a higher level.
…………
Lingfeng Continent.
This is a low-level lower plane under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia Dynasty. It fell tens of thousands of years ago and was occupied by a medium-sized evil race from outside the region.
Before the Great Xia Dynasty reclaimed it, the Lingfeng Continent was always under the responsibility of a super power, but that super power regarded it as a training ground for its disciples.
For thousands of years, instead of recovering lost territory, the evil race has become increasingly rampant, treating the natives of Lingfeng Continent like pigs, and controlling their lives.
At this time, the Lingfeng Continent was already deserted, and all the original inhabitants had moved to the Shenzhou Continent.
In the Lingfeng Continent, there is a spatial node leading to the outer realms, but it has been sealed for a long time. Now, however, it has been forcibly torn open by a powerful force.
One after another, figures filed out, the leader exuding a terrifying aura. If Lin Dong were here, he would definitely recognize him as one of the most powerful top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors among the extraterrestrial evil races...
The Heaven-Destroying Demon Emperor!
During the Demon Slayer Project, the Martial Realm team suffered heavy losses because they were hunted down by the Demon Emperor Zhan Tian.
"kill!"
The moment the Demon Emperor Zhantian entered the Lingfeng Continent, he immediately waved his hand and issued an order.
His expression was indifferent; clearly, the lives of beings in this world were insignificant in his eyes.
One after another, demonic shadows swept away, but quickly returned. A Netherworld Demon Emperor respectfully reported, "Lord Zhantian, no one is here..."
The Demon Emperor Zhan Tian paused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What do you mean by 'no one'?"
The Demon Emperor trembled, but still forced a smile and said, "We have searched the entire Lingfeng Continent, but we have not found any Great Thousand Humans..."
The Demon Emperor Zhan Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, then said coldly, "Then go find the dimensional portal!"
A hint of anger flickered in his eyes, and he also realized that something was wrong.
The anger stemmed from the feeling that they had been tricked, or even that their entire evil race had been tricked.
He suddenly understood why the Great Xia Dynasty, after recovering these lower planes, did not erase the spatial nodes leading to the outer realms, but instead simply sealed them.
Now it seems that this was a loophole deliberately left by the Great Xia Dynasty, just to lure the emperor into a trap after the Heavenly Gate Project began!
This feeling of being led by the nose made the Demon Emperor Zhantian extremely unhappy.
…………
The Canglan Plane.
The Holy Heaven Demon Emperor personally took action, forcibly breaking the seal left by Chu Yang, and led a group of powerful evil race members to directly enter the Canglan Plane.
Like the Demon Emperor Zhan Tian, he immediately issued the order to massacre, but the final result was exactly the same.
The Canglan Plane has long been deserted, leaving only some marine creatures that lack even basic intelligence.
These marine creatures have no spiritual energy, and their flesh and blood have no value, so even if they are slaughtered, it is meaningless.
Unlike the Demon Emperor Zhan Tian, the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor was not furious. Instead, a cold smile appeared on his face as he narrowed his eyes and muttered:
"Chu Yang... I really underestimated you!"
"If this child is not eliminated, he will become a major threat to our clan, perhaps even surpassing the Immortal Emperor!"
Standing beside him, the Demon Emperor tentatively asked, "Lord Holy Heaven, what should we do next?"
The Holy Demon Emperor said calmly, "Find the dimensional portal, proceed to the Northern Wilderness Hills, and rescue my god!"
"I, the Emperor, would like to see what the Great Thousand Realms are relying on that makes them dare to break ties with my race!"
As the current leader of the extraterrestrial evil race, the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor is not only powerful, but also unfathomably cunning and shrewd.
Therefore, after learning some information about the Tianmen Project, he vaguely guessed Chu Yang's intentions.
The other party is trying to use the upgrade of the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array to erase the life mark of the Heavenly Evil God in one fell swoop, in order to force the evil race to willingly walk into their trap.
It's obvious that the Northern Wilderness Hills have probably gathered all the power of the Great Thousand Worlds, just waiting for them to come to them.
However, the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor did not believe that the Great Thousand Worlds, with its strength and resources, could directly confront the Evil Race.
The evil race has never really taken the Great Thousand Worlds too seriously; in fact, they've treated it like a cat playing with a mouse.
Even in the original storyline, it wasn't until Xiao Yan and Lin Dong both reached the giant level that the extraterrestrial evil race had to take the Great Thousand World seriously.
But now, in the eyes of the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor, the Great Thousand Worlds are nothing to fear.
While Chu Yang is indeed a prodigy, he has not yet fully matured. Judging from the information brought back by the Demon Emperor of the Demon Spring, Chu Yang's strength should be around the late stage of the Saint Rank.
A mere late-stage Saint-grade cultivator is nothing to fear. Even though a year has passed, how much could he have grown?
Besides Chu Yang, how many other figures in the Great Thousand Realms are truly remarkable?
Without the Great Thousand Demon Buddha, only two giants remain. The Holy Heaven Demon Emperor is even confident that he can rival these two on his own.
Unless the other party is willing to risk their life, it is difficult for them to pose a significant threat to him.
Besides, there are very few powerful individuals at the late stage of the Saint Rank in the Great Thousand Realms, and the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor knows them quite well and does not believe that they pose a threat.
It's a bit strange, but the evil race thought the Great Thousand World was nothing to fear, while many powerful figures in the Great Thousand World, after witnessing its current strength, also felt that the evil race would never return.
Only a handful of people truly viewed this matter as a war between evenly matched forces.
However, this did not include Chu Yang, because he was absolutely certain of success.
This also excludes the many powerful figures under Chu Yang's command, because they have absolute confidence in Chu Yang.
Finding a dimensional portal is not difficult for the extraterrestrial evil race. This time, they have mobilized all their top experts. If they can't even solve this small matter, it would be really unacceptable.
Soon, the many powerful beings from the extraterrestrial evil races who had arrived in various lower planes found the dimensional passages leading to the Great Thousand World.
Then, each of them used their unique abilities to bring over a large number of their clansmen, who then poured into the dimensional portal in a mighty procession.
However, just after all the evil beings entered the dimensional portals, these portals suddenly collapsed, causing the evil beings inside to be directly swept into the spatial storm.
This truly caught the evil race off guard. Even though many top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors used various methods to stabilize the situation immediately, it still caused great losses.
Before the two armies even clashed, their own forces had already suffered losses, which was extremely demoralizing and also angered many of the powerful members of the evil race.
Fortunately, morale is not important to the extraterrestrial evil race.
It has a strict class system, and all the lower-ranking evil races or the weak can only obey orders unconditionally.
Because if one disobeys, even if one doesn't die at the hands of the enemy, one will die at the hands of those in power.
After many dimensional portals collapsed, the dimensional portal that originally connected to the Myriad Worlds Continent reappeared.
This was naturally Chu Yang's doing. With his current strength, plus Pangu's computing power and mastery of spatial power, probably only the Heavenly Evil God after breaking through the seal could rival him.
Even the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor has to step aside!
In the Canglan Plane, deep in the ocean, lies the Sea Emperor's Palace.
One after another, figures flew out, then quickly swam upstream, soon bursting out of the sea and standing in mid-air.
These people quickly split into four “groups”, each with several hundred people, totaling nearly two thousand.
In three of the groups, everyone was at least at the Earthly Sovereign realm. There was one exception, but judging from the surging soul power around them, these people were clearly Spirit Array Masters.
Four more figures burst out of the sea, all radiating powerful auras. Two of them, in particular, exuded an immense sense of oppression.
One was a slightly short and stout old man, and the other was a burly and robust man.
The other two were a withered old woman and an old man with white hair and a youthful face.
"I never expected that such a powerful figure as you would be hidden in the Great Heavenly Mystery Pavilion." The short, stout old man looked at the white-haired, youthful-faced old man with a gentle smile.
The old man with white hair and a youthful face shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How could I possibly be considered a strongman?"
"It was only through some fortuitous circumstances, and thanks to the King of Chu's consideration and old friendship, that I was able to take a shortcut."
"Don't be fooled by my late-stage Saint-level cultivation. In terms of actual strength, I am far inferior to you all."
This white-haired, youthful-looking old man was none other than the former Ancestor of the Pill Tower!
After entering the Great Thousand World, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was always overseen by Old Monster Lin, while the Pill Tower Ancestor gradually faded from people's sight.
But he didn't continue his carefree life as before, nor did he return to the Dou Qi Continent to live out his remaining years.
Chu Yang instructed the Great Xia Dynasty to invest a great deal of resources in nurturing the Pill Tower Ancestor.
The Pill Tower Ancestor's true form is a pill. Without considering its strength or inherent limits, it grows at a terrifying speed, much like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
That's why his cultivation level jumped to the late stage of Saint Rank in just a few years, but it was all fake. He was only stronger than the mid-stage Saint Rank, but it was difficult for him to compete with a true late-stage Saint Rank expert.
The withered old woman's cultivation level was at the early stage of the Saint Rank. She came from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and was a hidden expert recruited by Yun Yun after the Hundred Flowers Pavilion returned to the Great Xia Dynasty.
As for the other two, the short, stout old man was Kunpeng Ancestor, and the burly, strong man was Tongtian Great Ape King.
Those four small groups came from the four forces to which the four individuals belonged: the Kunpeng Clan, the Tongtian Ape Clan, the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
They were here entirely at Chu Yang's behest.
The goal is simple: to launch a surprise attack behind enemy lines once the powerful extraterrestrial beings enter the Great Thousand World, taking advantage of the vulnerability of the extraterrestrial realm!
It wasn't a random massacre of the evil race, but rather a move to start in areas near the four borders, laying the foundation for a counterattack.
After the decisive battle, the Great Thousand Realms will launch a counterattack from the four borders. At that time, they will cooperate with the powerful figures from the four borders to quickly recover the lost territory.
In the long run, this is not very meaningful, since whether or not the extraterrestrial evil race can be pacified depends entirely on whether Chu Yang can kill the Heavenly Evil God five years later.
If they fail, or even suffer a counterattack, it will be of no use even if they recover more lost territory.
However, Chu Yang's reason was simple: to boost morale!
The decisive battle was won, the evil forces were routed, a counter-offensive was launched on the border, and lost territory was recovered!
With this series of events, the affairs of all living beings in the vast world will inevitably reach an extreme point.
However, Chu Yang's purpose was actually quite simple...
That is to gain more faith power through this action, and at the same time lay a further foundation for the future unification of the world by the Great Xia Dynasty.
Since the start of the Heavenly Gate Project, Chu Yang has been the only voice in the entire Great Thousand World. Everyone obeys his commands, and no one will disagree at this critical juncture.
Therefore, even though Chu Yang diverted some forces from the main battlefield, no one questioned his decision! (End of Chapter)
