Chapter 1245: Zhu Tiandao's Madness (2)

The experts in the Allheaven Battlefield were too occupied to care about the battle in the Human Realm.

Near the realm entrance, several human Invincibles were fighting several myriad race Invincibles.

In the boundless void, Great Ming King and seven other human Invincibles were also in a battle.

An even larger number of Invincibles were fighting in the Sea of Stars.

Surrounded by the battling Invincibles, Xia Longwu looked around helplessly. There were too many of them. But he had no choice. He had to start his dao affirmation and attract more Invincibles over. A decent number of human Pseudo Invincibles were still in the middle of dao affirmation.

If he did not attract all these myriad race Invincibles to him, they would be able to interfere with the dao affirmation of others.

Not far away.

Junior Zhou King was being attacked by several furious Invincibles. They were determined to kill the person who had fooled them all.

As the battle dragged on, Junior Zhou King lost his temper as well. He said, "You're courting death!"

He manifested a character, ignited it, and roared, "I, head of the Profound Department, hereby ignite the ancient character. Heads of Heaven and Earth Departments, two spires, and two chambers, your assistance is required!"

The expressions of the Invincibles around him changed drastically upon hearing that. They had nearly forgotten that this was also a department head of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. There was also Zhu Tianfang, who was similarly a department head. Was the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion really a neutral organization? They were supposed to have six more Invincibles in their ranks.

Forty-one of the human Invincibles were known to the myriad races. With Fiery Sea's death, they were left with forty. But they had also gained four new Invincibles, pushing that number to forty-four.

But a lot of people knew that the number of human Invincibles was actually higher than that. For example, Qin Hao once told Zhu Guangshen that there were forty-six Invincibles in the human race. The identities of the five extra Invincibles were known to the Qin Family.

However, these were mostly the Invincibles who had not been seen for many years or those who had entered seclusion after losing their tri-life bodies.

Including the four new Invincibles and the two Invincibles who had returned from death, only forty-six human Invincibles had appeared thus far. If the six mysterious human Invincibles were to appear right now, a lot would change.

The myriad race Invincibles grew wary upon hearing Junior Zhou King's words. The Invincibles of an organization like the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion would most certainly not be weak.

The Invincibles fighting Junior Zhou King hurriedly pulled away from him. They could never be too careful when dealing with someone from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

Raising the burning character, Junior Zhou King roared again, "I, head of Profound Department, seek the assistance of the six saints!"

A storm stirred around him. It felt as though someone was about to descend upon them from the boundless void. The surrounding Invincibles fled without hesitation. The moment they left, Junior Zhou King fled in the opposite direction.

An ancient voice resounded from the boundless void, "The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion does not involve itself in the conflicts between races. Our heads and leaders come from different races, but we do not concern ourselves with the affairs of the myriad races. Zhou Tianyuan, the head of Profound Department, is still considered the head. If you wish to return, our door will remain open for you. As for Zhu Tianfang, the head of Yellow Department, you are now an enemy of the pavilion."

They could overlook Zhou Tianyuan's deception. Race did not matter to the pavilion. However, they couldn't overlook what Zhu Tianfang did. He had killed dozens of their Sunmoon elites, including two Pseudo Invincibles. As far as the pavilion was concerned, he was a traitor.

The same voice continued, "Zhou Tianyuan, do not seek to involve the pavilion in this matter any further. We have never agreed to fight for humanity. The pavilion hereby withdraws from this conflict."

Zhou Tianyuan did not even react to that voice. He knew the pavilion wouldn't involve itself in this conflict. He was only doing this to scare those Invincibles for a bit, nothing else. If he continued fighting that group of Invincibles, he would probably end up dead. He was forced to rely on deception. Unfortunately, the pavilion was unwilling to let him use its name further. With that announcement, everyone would know the pavilion's stand in this conflict.

Junior Zhou King laughed and said, "East Chamber Head, why are you so cold? We've known each other for so long. Fine, fine. I'll try to create an opportunity for you guys to kill three or maybe five Eternals later."

"..."

The East Chamber head did not even deign to give a reply. That was an obvious attempt to sow distrust between the pavilion and the myriad races. When Xia Longwu noted that Junior Zhou King was out of danger, he withdrew his gaze.

He inhaled deeply. A storm started stirring around him. The clouds churned above him. Two more Xia Longwus walked out of thin air. Then, the three started becoming one.

This process would take some time.

Junior Zhou King was blocked by the myriad race Invincibles from moving anywhere near Xia Longwu. At this point, everyone was already aware of his ability to accelerate the flow of time. They would not allow him to use his ability on Xia Longwu.

The myriad race Invincibles were working together to split the battlefield into sections.

At the same time, multicolored rays of light started spreading all over the Allheaven Battlefield. A considerable number of people had been waiting for Xia Longwu to start before starting their own dao affirmations, including some minor race experts.

Suddenly, Great Zhou King roared, "Those who have yet to affirm their dao, do it in the minor realms!"

That would make them weaker, but they would need to live with that. On the bright side, the suppressive force of the minor realms would offer them a layer of protection during their attempts.

As for the Human Realm, it was too dangerous at the moment. Furthermore, the Human Realm was too lacking in source qi. Just look at First Profound and the others. They were attempting their dao affirmations in the Human Realm, but their progress was excruciatingly slow. If more humans were to attempt their dao affirmations in the Human Realm, that might even attract more myriad race Invincibles to the Human Realm, which could prove disastrous.

With Great Zhou King's order, some humans started rushing toward the nearest minor realms available to them.

But some were also wailing with desperation, "But I don't have a carrier treasure!"

Some of them had been waiting to loot some carrier treasures from the Invincibles and Pseudo Invincibles who would inevitably die during the battle today. Unfortunately, some were still empty-handed.

Great Zhou King felt quite helpless about that as well. Even the Zhou Family had to rely on Zhou Tianyuan's position in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to gather enough carrier treasures. They did not have any spare to offer.

As for those minor race experts who were attempting their dao affirmations, some of them had been preparing for many years. And some were simply trying to capture their tri-life bodies without carrier treasures. Most of them would probably end up failing.

Xia Longwu did not concern himself with that. More and more people were gathered around him. And the battle around him was getting more and more intense.

A myriad race expert shouted, "We beseech upon the Emperors to suppress Great Qin King!"

At the moment, Great Qin King was dominating the battlefield with his spear while Great Xia King was giving his opponents hell with his saber. The two of them were too strong. As a result, the myriad race Invincibles were very wary of them.

𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Unless these two were dealt with, many Invincibles would not have the courage to make a move. That was especially true for the minor race Invincibles who had arrived. Instead of only the divines, devils, immortals, and dragons, the Invincibles of many other races had also been gathered for this operation.

It was only natural for the major races to spread the cost for the operation among many other races. Otherwise, a defeat would be more disastrous than they could handle. In fact, the major races had only contributed about fifty Invincibles for this operation. The other half of the number was made up by the other races.

With Great Qin King and Great Xia King displaying their combat prowess, some of these myriad race Invincibles were starting to grow impatient. Thus, they were hoping that one of the Emperors would appear and help them with this.

Great Qin King merely sneered, "Do they have the courage to come? Fools. If they have the courage to come, I will destroy their tri-life bodies even at the cost of my life. Every one of them is trying bitterly to advance. None of them will dare to risk their advancement."

The various Pseudo Emperors were in a competition to advance.

If any of them fell behind, the others would benefit. For example, if the Immortal Pseudo Emperor were to suffer an injury, the divines and devils would benefit. Thus, these Pseudo Emperors would not make a move lightly. Unless it was a matter of life and death, it was unlikely they would act. In fact, their very advancement concerned the life and death of their people.

Meanwhile, this was not an issue for humanity. Great Qin King had never planned to become an Emperor. Thus, he could fight freely. Hearing Great Qin King's words, the resolve of some of the minor race Invincibles wavered. Without the help of an Emperor, how were they supposed to handle Great Qin King and Great Xia King?

Fighting the two when they were in such a crazed state could very well cost them the lives of Invincibles.

Suddenly, the Devil Pseudo Emperor's voice rang out, "Send a group of people to the Eastrift Valley. Attack the entrance to the Human Realm. Great Qin King will need to prioritize the Human Realm."

Great Qin King's face turned unsightly.

The Devil Pseudo Emperor continued, "Great Qin King, this isn't an extinction battle. Are you really going to sacrifice humanity for Xia Longwu?"

Great Qin King raised his spear and said, "If you slaughter humanity, I will slaughter the devil race in return. Heed my command. If they dare to attack the Human Realm today, abandon everything else and invade the Devil Realm. We will bath the Devil Realm in blood."

"Yes!"

The human Invincibles replied loudly.

Great Qin King said, "Do you really think we don't have the courage to throw everything away? If a war is what you want, bring it on. Don't even dream of threatening us with humanity. If you cross the line, we will ensure the devil race suffers the same fate. Any race to enter the Human Realm and slaughter our civilians will become the sole target of our Eternals. We will not stop killing your civilians until all of us are dead."

With his spear pointed at the sky, Great Qin King said, "I dare you. Do it. Do you take us for a minor race? We can tolerate disruptions to the dao affirmations of our people. We can always fight again in the future. But if you ruin our future, we shall die together."

Even killing the human Pseudo Invincibles was tolerable as humanity could live to fight another day. But invading the Human Realm and slaughtering their civilians would ruin any hope they held for the future.

That would be treated as an extinction war. With over forty Invincibles, humanity could ruin the Devil Realm if they were to focus on doing just that. The devil race would accompany humanity in extinction.

After all, the other major races would most certainly take this chance to step on the devils while they were down and ensure their extinction.

Meanwhile, interfering with the dao affirmations of their Pseudo Invincibles could be viewed as a form of challenge. If one was capable enough, one would prevail. This wouldn't cause an all-out war between races.

The Devil Pseudo Emperor paused slightly before smiling as his projection in the sky dissipated away. Seeing that, Great Qin King snorted. Not one of the other myriad race Invincibles dared to mention an invasion of the Human Realm anymore. If they did that, humanity might really throw caution to the wind and go crazy to ensure mutual annihilation with the culprit.

All these battles in the Allheaven Battlefield seemed bitter and desperate, but there was still a line nobody would cross. That was especially true for battles involving Invincibles.

Xia Longwu did not react to the conversation. Instead, he sent a voice transmission to the others, "Seniors, please come closer to me in a moment. We need to attract more myriad race Invincibles over."

He was ready to summon the ancient city mayors. The assistance of those mayors would increase his odds of success. Naturally, he was incapable of allying with thirty-six mayors. Nevertheless, he had still won the alliance of nine mayors. The nine ancient cities would serve as the wall around him. With the ancient cities, the mayors would be able to fight as Invincibles for a short period of time. They could keep at least seven or eight enemy Invincibles busy.

Great Qin King and the others said nothing. They could only stay hopeful that Xia Longwu's plan would work. Otherwise, he would have nearly zero chance of succeeding after attracting so many enemy Invincibles here.
