Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill - Chapter 990 - 42: Arrangements and Outbreak
Chapter 990: Chapter 42: Arrangements and Outbreak
The starlit sky temporarily returned to calm, halting the war.
But this return to calm did not mean that there was no action from both sides.
The Conquest Sect, in order to prevent attacks from the Devouring Sect, began recruiting manpower throughout the starry sky.
It is precisely because of this that the forces without a Saint Emperor level powerhouse in the starlit sky also became aware of the Devouring Sect’s invasion. They also knew that both Saint Emperors had already engaged in a battle, in which their side’s Saint Emperor had won. However, the Devouring Sect would certainly return and this time it would be them who faced the assault.
For a time, there was widespread panic among the people of the starlit sky.
“The previous battle was indeed a Saint Emperor level battle…”
“Sure enough, there must be a battle with the Devouring Sect, but why is it happening in our era!”
“The cultivators of the Devouring Sect truly do ’devour’ people. Once we lose, all living beings will be destroyed…”
“It’s not just living beings; wherever the Devouring Sect goes, the World Origin is devoured. Once too many planets are occupied, we will only grow weaker, while the other side will grow stronger. The cultivators of the Devouring Sect are experts in using war to sustain war.”
“In that case, do we have any hope?”
“The Saint Emperor level battle was won, so why can’t we win.”
“But this time, we will be facing direct pressure…”
The Devouring Sect, except for a few worlds close to their power, had not waged war with them for millions of years.
They could only see the terror of the Devouring Sect’s cultivators from various records.
The Conquest Sect, although also filled with conflicts, is much gentler compared to the Devouring Sect.
The event concerning the Saint Emperor devouring the galaxy was a monumental affair, but similar events in the range of the Devouring Sect’s power were ordinary.
During times of interdimensional warfare, the Devouring Sect had even destroyed Star Domains.
Of course, there was no shortage of cultivators with boiling battle intent.
Many cultivators took Wang Sheng as a role model.
“The Lifeless True Saint could single-handedly contend with even top Saint Emperor Domains. We are by no means inferior to the Devouring Sect; fear is a sign of cowardice.”
“We won the Saint Emperor level battle, and on our side, there are definitely more cultivators below the Saint Emperor level than the Devouring Sect. Why should we fear?”
“Is there not a single man among us?”
…
Of course, regardless of the stance, no cultivator refused the call issued by the top Saint Emperors.
Under various arrangements across the worlds, they assembled to prepare for the impending attack of the Devouring Sect.
All cultivators understood that in the face of such a massive trend, not banding together posed the greatest risk.
Therefore, under coordination, the cultivators began to gather in several directions.
With the Saint Emperor suppressing the overall situation at the top.
The Eleventh Realm acted as commanders, the Tenth Realm as generals, the Ninth Realm as the vanguard, and the Eighth Realm as soldiers.
Below the Eighth Realm, they didn’t even qualify to be cannon fodder.
This would become the most terrifying war of the starlit sky.
Most cultivators began to converge.
Wang Sheng was not idle either, returning to the Source Star to gather the Tenth Realm cultivators of the Source Star.
Zhu Xiao, Huangtian, Huang Yue, Long Lie, Yun Tian, Bai Yue… wherever they were, upon receiving Wang Sheng’s summons, they all returned at the fastest speed, arriving at Qingshan Holy Land.
Aside from them, even Xing Yuan of the Twelfth Realm was summoned back by him.
“Greetings, True Saint!”
With the Source Star entering steady development, Wang Sheng had not shown himself for a long time, and many were quite excited by this.
“No need for formalities.”
Wang Sheng looked at those present, a total of thirty-two, the strongest batch of cultivators on the Source Star besides him and Xing Yuan.
All of them were powerful Tenth Realm cultivators.
There were no Eleventh Realm Saints.
This was also normal; the Source Star had been accumulating its potential for a strong planetary advancement and had thus not advanced for a long time.
Even though the cultivators of the Source Star were gifted, they could not break through from the Tenth to the Eleventh Realm in just a few hundred years.
Without a great opportunity, they would endure for countless years.
Calling them here was precisely for an Eleventh Realm breakthrough.
Wang Sheng did not hide anything and directly stated, “This time, calling you back can be seen as providing you with an opportunity, an opportunity to break through to the Eleventh Realm.”
Upon these words, the cultivators present all had eyes that lit up.
Eleventh Realm!
The further they progressed in their cultivation, the more they understood the difficulty of breakthrough.
They had all prepared themselves for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Now, there was an opportunity.
And these words came from a True Saint, so they could not be false.
Huangtian, as chief, asked, “True Saint, what do you require us to do?”
“Fight, go all out in battle. Soon, there will be a large-scale war, with the Tenth Realm only serving as the vanguard, even possibly as cannon fodder. If you survive till the end of the battlefield, your path to the Eleventh Realm will become very clear. By achieving merit, you can exchange for countless treasures, some of which even I cannot produce. Of course, the risk is also immense; a single misstep could lead to death.”
Because of Wang Sheng’s protection, the cultivators of the Source Star had partaken in hardly any fierce wars outside the early days.
Especially those at the forefront of power.
They had faced no pressure at all; their real combat experience compared to those of the same realm from the Old Land was vastly inferior.
If they could participate in the Old Land starry sky wars and undergo a transformation, Eleventh Realm could be within reach given the uniqueness of the Source Star.
Of course, the vast gap might also result in them becoming buried in the war, perishing in the Tenth Realm.
“How to choose is entirely up to you.”
Though Wang Sheng was not as invested in the Source Star as before, since he was the one who nurtured its growth, he could not disregard its development.
He hoped for the Source Star to grow.
