Chapter 723: Chapter 463: Forced by the circumstances, seek help from external sources!
"Enough!"
The Lord of Twilight sighed, and at the moment of his sigh, the Twilight World Tree withered, transforming into a World Tree pervaded by Mysterious Energy.
The shadow of the tree swayed.
All spirits of the Twilight had turned into Mysterious Beings, and the entire Twilight Great World had transformed into the Land of Calamity.
The figure of the Lord of Twilight slowly materialized above the Land of Calamity, shouting loudly at the Meng Tian legion: "I am the Lord of Burial of Twilight, not of the Mysterious!"
"Today, I use the Boundless Burial Soil to bury all things!"
"Mysterious Calamity, too, can be buried!"
As his roaring voice spread, strands of Calamity energy swept out, rapidly corrupting his Tao Heart.
Yet, he paid no heed, his hands rapidly waving, shattering the Mysterious Beings on the Mysterious World Tree into beams of Twilight Light, invoking the Hidden Twilight Dao and the Burying Dao, commanding the Land of Calamity transformed into burial soil to rush towards the Meng Tian legion, intending to bury all members of the Meng Tian legion.
At this moment,
The two Ancient Daoists from the past unleashed all their cards, wishing to annihilate the invading Meng Tian legion. However, Meng Tian, the leader of the legion, just laughed.
"Haha!"
"Just as His Majesty predicted!"
"Indeed..."
As his low mutter arose, the War Dao suddenly shook violently, and boundless flames converged from all directions, forming a path of Fire Dao that pervaded the Void.
Just like the War Dao, both materialized into substantial Daos.
Then, under the terrified gazes of countless spectators, the two Daos slowly merged together, forming an immensely vast, gigantic furnace.
"The War Furnace!"
"Refine everything!"
"Transcendence... can also be refined!"
"Great Qin will prevail!"
With the appearance of the War Furnace, the endless soldiers in the Meng Tian legion ignited unprecedented fighting spirit, becoming fuel for the furnace fires, directly igniting the flames within the War Furnace to their peak.
In an instant, all incoming forces and creatures were burned to ashes, even Netherworld and Twilight, two beings who had stepped half into the Realm of Transcendence, were shocked.
For they finally understood the true purpose of Great Qin’s conquest of their Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds.
"What audacity!"
"To use us cultivators as mere firewood for war integration, aiding your Great Qin’s national transcendence!"
"What grand schemes, what massive ambition, what cruel intentions!"
"Ying Zheng, you..."
The two mighty beings roared in anger, but facing the envelopment of the War Furnace, they had no chance to escape, only to be burned by the fierce flames.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Netherworld and the Lord of Twilight engulfed by the War Furnace, Meng Tian revealed a cold smile: "Since you two Daoist friends have stepped half into transcendence, by this life-and-death crisis, you might as well comprehend transcendence!"
"Don’t worry, we won’t refine you directly; we’ll give you ample time inside to comprehend transcendence!"
"Only that way can you survive!"
"By then, our Divine Emperor of Great Qin will reward your contributions!"
Inside the War Furnace, hearing such shameless words from Meng Tian, Netherworld and the Lord of Twilight were furious to the core.
"Bastard!"
"Unfilial!"
"You bunch of bastards, how dare you overlook us so, but don’t forget among the Three Thousand Worlds there are countless Ancient Daoists and Six Thousand Daoist Gods!"
"When lips die, teeth feel the cold; if they learn about your actions, they will surely unite to destroy you!"
"..."
Listening to their roars, Meng Tian’s lips curved slightly, saying: "Leave these concerns to us; we can handle it!"
"Now you have two options, one is to choose suicide, your body and dao vanish, ending it all. But since you are in the War Furnace, even if you commit suicide, your True Spirit has no chance to enter the Six Paths Reincarnation, ultimately vanishing under the eternal, undying flames~"
"Or struggle within and strive to attain Transcendence early!"
"In this way, your insights and cultivation will surely provide endless power for our Great Qin, eventually assisting our nation’s transcendence!"
"Consider for yourselves how to choose,"
Netherworld Emperor and the Lord of Twilight fell silent.
Although Meng Tian’s words were cold and merciless, reality was just as harsh and ruthless.
As losers, they had no right to refute.
Ying Zheng, having planned for so long, naturally took all variables into account; they were merely pawns in his game, either to abandon their million years of Cultivation and fall completely, or to follow Ying Zheng’s plan, continuously cultivate, continuously absorbing energy, until everything is melted by the War Furnace into the power for Great Qin’s nation to achieve Transcendence.
The first option.
Netherworld and Twilight would not choose.
How could eons of cultivation be discarded just like that?
Thus, they could only choose the second path, becoming pawns for the transcendence of the Great Qin nation.
Otherwise, there was only the path of death.
At the same time!
Similar rumblings erupted in several other directions within the Chaos Void, as War Furnaces made up of War Dao and Fire Dao materialized in the Chaos, covering various Ancient cultivators to serve as the power for Great Qin’s nation ascension.
At the same time, these War Furnaces approached other Ancient cultivators, intending to include them all.
This alarmed all beings in the Chaotic World, and even beings in the current world were shocked by Ying Zheng’s tactics and prowess.
"Ying Zheng’s talent may not match up to Hao Tian and others, but his ambition and tact truly exceed them!"
"National Transcendence! What a grand strategy, who among the ordinary could achieve this?"
"In the past, I thought Fierce Man was formidable enough, but now it seems, Ying Zheng is truly formidable!"
"How terrifying!"
"From ancient times to the present, the strongest emperor!"
"..."
In the Void, Ancient cultivators who were not targeted showed horrified expressions.
"Ying Zheng! How dare he do this? Using us as fuel for his nation’s transcendence!"
"Damn it! What do we do now? We’re no match for them on our own!"
"Should we attack Primordial and do the opposite of what he expects?!"
"No! Ying Zheng has calculated everything. If we go there, we’d be trapped!"
"Then what should we do? We can’t just sit and watch!"
"..."
Many Ancient cultivators were caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to do!
Attacking Primordial was dangerous, and fighting the Great Qin army was impossible.
Simply watch from the sidelines?
That won’t do either!
Because the Qin army’s aim was to capture them, no one could escape.
"The damned Ying Zheng, totally cornering us, is there really no way out?!"
"Just us alone cannot contend against Qin Country, we must rally more forces!"
"I have a good relationship with the Light Goddess and Hope Goddess, I could try persuading them to join!"
"I’m quite familiar with the Truth Alchemist, also worth a try."
"I’m on good terms with the Dark Dragon, I could persuade him to collaborate with us!"
"There’s no time to delay, let’s act!"
"..."
One after another, Ancient cultivators communicated via Tao Rules, researching ways to counter the Qin army, eventually devising a plan to seek external help.
Thus, the remaining Ancient cultivators acted, starting to seek out those Dao beings they were allied with, or had good relations with.
