Marrying Wives and Attaining Immortality in a Chaotic World

Chapter 382: Assault on the Divine Thunder Sect

Two vast Supreme-level auras approached from afar – one blazing with heat, the other radiating sanctity. The Supremes of the Blazing Flame Sect and the Divine Flower Palace had arrived.

The two did not directly engage in the confrontation. Instead, they subtly flanked the three Supremes of the Divine Thunder Sect’s camp, one on each side. Their intention was clear: to prevent the three Supremes from escaping and to deter any other major powers from intervening.

“HAHAHAHA!”

The indescribable Supreme of the Divine Thunder Sect laughed thunderously, his voice shaking the heavens and scattering clouds for thousands of miles, leaving the vast expanse of sky an immaculate azure blue.

Cloudless.

“A joke.”

The indescribable Supreme of the Divine Thunder Sect slowly swept his gaze over Supreme Bai Luohe, Supreme He Changfeng, and Supreme Meng Hao, one by one.

He said indifferently, “We acknowledge the strength of the Time Supreme-she is indeed formidable. The Supremes of the Blazing Flame Sect and the Divine Flower Palace are passable. But what about you three? What right do you have to call yourselves Supremes?

Three newly ascended Supremes, each barely more than a century old, how dare you claim the title of Supreme?”

Pfft… Xu Lian couldn’t help but admire the verbal sparring skills of the indescribable Supreme of the Divine Thunder Sect. As expected, his words dealt a heavy psychological blow to the three Supremes on their side. Bai Luohe, He Changfeng, and Meng Hao were all visibly enraged.

“Even though the three of us have only recently ascended to Supreme, our cultivation spans no more than fifteen thousand years. We are in the prime of our lives, at the peak of our strength. Your cultivation may be slightly superior to ours, but you are already over twenty thousand years old. Like the sun in the afternoon, you’ve already started to fade away. What arrogance drives you?”

“The three of us, newly ascended powers, are challenging you, a middle-aged, declining power. Do you dare accept?”

“Do you dare?”

The Indescribable Supreme of the Divine Thunder Sect replied, “Against you three? What is there to fear?”

However, his tone suddenly shifted. “But why go to all this trouble? I have a better way to deal with you!”

Five immense Supreme-level auras surged forth without warning, arriving on the scene instantly.

They positioned themselves to form a remote yet coordinated stance with the three Supremes of the Divine Thunder Sect’s camp.

In an instant, the tables turned-they now surrounded the Supremes of the Blazing Flame Sect, the Divine Flower Palace, and the four Supremes of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands!

The faces of Supreme Bai Luohe, He Changfeng, and Meng Hao darkened.

Originally, the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands’ side held a numerical advantage of six against three. But now, the situation had taken a drastic turn for the worse. No one had anticipated that the three Supremes on the Divine Thunder Sect  side would bring five reinforcements. With the numbers now standing at six against eight, the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands had not only lost their advantage, but were now placed at a severe disadvantage, forced into a passive position.

The unnamed Supreme of the Dark Moon Sacred Land sneered. “You Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands thought that you were fully prepared to deal with us. Did you really think that we wouldn’t prepare as well?”

The Supreme of the Fuyao Sect barked, “Now it’s our turn to make demands!

The Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands, the Blazing Flame Sect, and the Divine Flower Palace must publicly apologize to the Fuyao Sect, the Divine Thunder Sect, and the Dark Moon Sacred Land!

The Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands must cede two exclusive cultivation resource zones fit for Supremes. The Blazing Flame Sect and the Divine Flower Palace must each cede one such zone!

Only then will we consider ending this!”

This was essentially a mirror image of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands’ original demands, but with an even greater appetite. They now demanded four Supreme-level exclusive cultivation resource zones.

It was important to note that these were Supreme-level exclusive cultivation resource zones. Even the top-tier factions only had two or three at most, and some only had one. Once ceded, the output of Supreme-level cultivation resources would be permanently lost. This wasn’t just a crippling blow – it was like severing the backbone of their power base.

Meng Hao glared at the five Supremes in anger. “Kaiyuan Sect, Divine Wind Valley, Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury! The Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands have no enmity with your three sects – in fact, we’ve maintained decent relations. What is the meaning of this treachery?”

The Supreme of the Heavenly Treasury Sacred Land sighed weakly. “The Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands possess an overwhelming strength. We surrounding factions have long felt uneasy about your dominance. We had no choice but to unite and weaken you.”

The Supreme of the Kaiyuan Sect added, “We understand the principle of ‘When the lips are gone, the teeth feel the cold.’ If you suppress the Divine Thunder Sect’s camp, you might turn your attention to us next, posing a threat. We had no choice but to act first.”

The Supreme of Divine Wind Valley continued, “Our five Supreme, combined with the three from the Divine Thunder Sect’s camp, make a total of eight Supremes – all veterans who have held their titles for many years.

Of your six Supremes, three are newly ascended, having attained Supreme within the last century.

The disparity in power is overwhelming.

You should cede the exclusive Supreme-level cultivation resource zones we demand. Otherwise, if a battle breaks out, the consequences will be too much for you to bear!

On the war chariot behind the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands’ camp, Nine Heavenly Divine Son Xu Lian, the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, and the past generations of Holy Sons and Holy Maidens all felt a sinking sensation in their hearts. A sense of foreboding washed over them.

“Eight Desolations War Formation – Attack!”

Seeing that the Time Supreme remained silent and did not accede to their demands, the Supreme of the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury bellowed, “Crush the forces of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands first, then we’ll negotiate terms!”

The five Supremes from Heaven’s Treasury’s Sacred Land side and the three Supremes from the Divine Thunder Sect’s camp combined to form the Eight Desolations War Formation . Their collective strength surged as they launched a fierce attack.

Eight Desolations War Formation? Xu Lian froze. The Shui family of Yunzhou Prefecture was known to have the most incomparable combination techniques in the world. This Eight Desolations War Formation was one of their signature techniques. How could the opposing camp possess it? Could it be that the Shui family of Yunzhou Prefecture was also involved in this conspiracy against the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands?

“Attack!”

The Time Supreme radiated a bright white light, resembling a battle immortal descending upon the mortal realm. She unleashed the River of Time.

The Supremes of the Blazing Flame Sect and the Divine Flower Palace, along with the three newly ascended Supremes, followed suit, putting forth their full strength to resist!

In an instant, the heavens and the earth were obliterated, reduced to a state of primordial chaos. The high-level factions who were watching the battle from afar completely lost track of the situation.

Xu Lian noticed that the situation on the side of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands was dire. They were being relentlessly pushed back by the Eight Supremes using the Eight Desolations War Formation. Fortunately, the Time Supreme was incredibly powerful, standing at the forefront like the tip of an arrow, blocking the brunt of the attacks. Without her, the three newly ascended Supremes would likely have been gravely injured or even killed on the spot. The cultivation gap was already considerable, and with the additional boost from the Eight Desolations War Formation, the gap widened even more.

“There is no time to waste, I must act. Only by using the promotion and demotion rules of the Divine Kingdom can I turn the tide of this unfavorable battle.”

Xu Lian dared not delay. Focusing his thoughts, he immediately began invoking the laws of the Divine Kingdom.

However, just as he was about to act, something shocking occurred – a scene that left him utterly stunned! Not only him, but also Supreme Bai Luohe, He Changfeng, Meng Hao, the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, and the past generations of Holy Sons and Holy Maidens were rendered speechless.

To everyone’s astonishment, the indescribable Divine Thunder Sect Supreme, the unnameable Dark Moon Sacred Land Supreme, and the bizarrely shaped Fuyao Sect Supreme suddenly halted the operation of the Eight Desolations War Formation in the middle of the battle. Instead, they joined forces with the Time Supreme, the Blazing Flame Sect Supreme, and the Divine Flower Palace Supreme to launch a coordinated attack on the five Supremes of the Sacred Land of Heaven’s Treasury, the Divine Wind Valley, and the Kaiyuan Sect!

This sudden betrayal caught the five Supremes completely off guard. In an instant, they were knocked down and critically injured. Before they could recover, they were mercilessly bombarded until death claimed them. They probably never understood what had happened.

The three newly ascended Supremes, Xu Lian, the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, and the others remained speechless for a long time, unable to process what they had just witnessed.

“We pay our respects to the Nine Heavens Supreme!”

“The succession of the Nine Heavens Supreme had just happened, and we haven’t had a chance to offer our congratulations yet. Allow us to present this gift as a tribute.”

The indescribable Supreme of the Divine Thunder Sect, the unnameable Supreme of the Dark Moon Sacred Land, and the bizarrely shaped Supreme of the Fuyao Sect bowed respectfully and smiled to the Time Supreme.

“…” Xu Lian’s jaw twitched, his eyes wide with disbelief.

He had always assumed that these individuals were enemies, only to discover that they were allies all along.

The “two camps” and their previous conflicts-it had all been part of a grand scheme to “fish out” those harboring ill intentions toward the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands, luring them into a trap before annihilating them.

The Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands… truly operated in the shadows.

Without a doubt, the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands were a massive predator in this chaotic era.

If other top-tier factions were to learn the truth, they would undoubtedly shiver in fear, losing sleep and appetite alike.
