Chapter 259: Unification of the Western Regions

“How dare you, how dare the evil demon attack my Danxia Sect!”

A full-bodied roar sounded from the Danxia Sect. A stream of light rushed up from the sect and transformed into the figure of an old man with white hair and beard in mid-air. He looked outside with wide eyes and stretched out his hand to grab. The twisted protective formation of the sect was injected with a huge amount of magic power and quickly stabilized.

However, although Venerable Danxia was extremely angry, he was not as angry as he showed in his heart. Instead, he was extremely shocked.

The form of the incarnation of Tianwu Zuwu was extremely strange. It could be said to be a demon without a doubt. What shocked Venerable Danxia was why such a powerful existence had never been seen or heard of in the world of cultivation.

He didn’t even know how his sect had gotten involved with such an existence.

Although he was angry, he did not immediately activate the mountain protection formation to counterattack. Instead, he shouted:
“Who are you, demon? Why are you invading my mountain gate?”

The eight faces of the huge Tianwu Ancestral Wu were raised at the same time. Their faces twisted and turned into Su Ze’s appearance. They spoke in unison:
“I am the master of Xuanzong!”

Venerable Danxia’s face changed slightly, and he looked shocked. He said in a deep voice:
“My Danxia Sect and Xuan Sect had no hatred in the past, and no grudges recently. Why?”

“Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!”

“I, Xuanzong, wish to be the common ruler of this world. Surrender quickly! Surrender quickly!”

Eight extremely loud voices overlapped and echoed back and forth between heaven and earth.

Venerable Danxia’s face immediately darkened and he snorted coldly:
“How shameless! You are truly an evil demon!”

In response to him, the incarnation of Tianwu Zuwu launched a powerful blow, which caused the mountain protection formation to shake violently.

Venerable Danxia’s figure sank and disappeared into the formation, but the next second the formation suddenly lit up, and runes on several pillars lit up one by one. The dazzling spiritual light shot up into the sky, and sank into the earth below, covering every inch of land in the formation like flowing water.

The fifth-level protective sect formation was activated to its maximum power under the auspices of Venerable Danxia. Previously, every attack of Tianwu Zuwu could be embedded in the light curtain of the formation, but now it only caused the formation to shake slightly.

The Nine-Faced Divine Wind swept across the sky, and the divine wind that could easily grind rocks into powder continued to cause damage to the formation.

The Danxia Sect was not to be outdone, and all the restrictions attached to the formation were fully unleashed, transforming into powerful attacks that were no less powerful than those of a god, and frantically bombarded the incarnation of Tianwu Zuwu standing at the edge of the formation.

But just as Tian Wu’s incarnation could not break through the mountain protection formation for the time being, the forbidden spells attached to this formation could not hurt Tian Wu’s incarnation at all, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

As time passed, the incarnation of Tianwu Zuwu did not move at all in the surging energy tide, but inside the Danxia Sect, which was protected by the mountain protection formation, people were in a panic.

Many high-ranking members of the Danxia Sect gathered at the core of the formation to activate their magic power and inject it into the formation. Many disciples outside the sect gathered at various nodes of the formation and also injected magic power to keep the formation in its strongest state. Countless disciples looked at the huge demon outside that remained motionless no matter how they attacked, and all of them had worried looks on their faces.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this stalemate cannot last long and there will always be a winner and a loser.

Judging from the current performance, the one that has the advantage is not the Danxia Sect which relies on the geographical advantage and the support of countless disciples, but the towering demon god outside.

With his own strength alone, he was able to suppress an entire Huashen Sect head-on. This was a power they had never seen before.

During this period, they not only used various trump cards, but also even mobilized massive amounts of spiritual power to activate the strongest attack of the sect protection formation.

It was a huge force comparable to a full-strength attack from a late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm, but it was completely unable to do anything to the opponent, which made them somewhat desperate.

From the beginning, everyone was unwilling to give in, but gradually became depressed. Everyone’s heart was slowly sinking until…
“boom!”

Another powerful hammer blow, the light curtain of the sect protection formation that had been resisting stubbornly suddenly shook violently, and the light curtain sank suddenly into a concave shape at the place where the hammer hit.

Tianwu Zuwu quickly raised his other six arms and smashed them hard on the same position.

The depression, which was only ten kilometers in diameter, suddenly sank and expanded to a large depression with a diameter of forty or fifty kilometers.

And this was just the beginning. The Ancestral Witch pressed down with two arms, and raised the other six arms in turn, smashing them down fiercely. Along with earth-shaking noises, dazzling spiritual light continued to burst out from inside the mountain protection formation, and occasional flashes of fire passed by.

That was because the internal structure of the formation collapsed because it could not withstand the excessive pressure.

When this scene appeared, it meant that the formation was bearing pressure beyond its limit and was on the verge of collapse.

Not surprisingly, no matter what means Venerable Danxia and a bunch of Yuanying Zhenjun in the sect used, they could not change the outcome of the formation being about to be destroyed.

This is an absolute crushing of strength. Without sufficient strength to counter it, the result will not change.

“Boom!”

As the eight arms were raised to gather power, they smashed down with a fierce blow. The formation that was on the verge of collapse suddenly exploded, and the surging energy exploded like a tide, but as the overwhelming Nine-Faced Divine Wind swept through, the exploding energy tide was directly crushed to pieces.

The Danxia Sect disciples who were in the formation were swept by the Nine-flavor Divine Wind and torn into pieces immediately.

Below the Nascent Soul stage, no matter whether it is Qi Refining or Dan Forming, once strangled by the Nine-Flavor Divine Wind, both the person and the treasure will die, and there is no escape.

Even ordinary gods dare not withstand the Nine-Flavored Divine Wind wielded by the fifth-level peak Tianwu Zuwu. Anyone below the Golden Core level will die if they come into contact with it. It is absolutely impossible to resist.

A black wind spread out in the sky, covering an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers, and countless disciples of the Danxia Sect died under the divine wind.

Some of the Yuanying elders were still resisting, while others quickly fled to preserve the sect’s fire.

Venerable Danxia was decisive. After breaking the formation, he was the first to escape with a group of core disciples.

Su Ze did not chase after them, but instead used the Nine-Flavored Divine Wind to kill the remaining disciples one by one.

In a sect like this with a history of tens of thousands of years, the disciples have a very high degree of recognition of their own sect. If he lets them go, he will only gain a lot of hatred and no one will be grateful to him.

In order to have better rule in the future, killing them all is the best way to deal with it.

In future battles, all rival sects will suffer the same fate, so we must uproot them.

Only half an incense stick of time after breaking the formation, most of the disciples in the sect were killed by him. More than 90% of the tens of thousands of disciples in the huge Huashen Sect died here.

By the time his men and Xuan Sect disciples arrived, the Danxia Sect, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, had already been eliminated from the world of immortal cultivation.

The next half year was spent repairing the formation and reorganizing the earth veins, and more than 200,000 disciples were transferred to settle in Danxia Villa.

As he took action against the Danxia Sect, the sect officially launched the War to Conquer the Millions of Mountains, dividing the troops into two groups. One group was led by the Dragon King Su Qing, who was specifically responsible for dealing with the demon clan, and the other group was led by Old Man Xingjian, who was specifically responsible for dealing with the human clan.

After half a year of renovation, the entire Million Mountains have undergone tremendous changes.

The escaped Venerable Danxia went to another Huashen Sect, Wuji Sect, and united with the Yuanying Sects of the Million Mountains to create a so-called Demon-Slaying Alliance, which designated Xuan Sect as a demon sect.

All the sects worked together to publicize the issue, and soon Xuanzong became known as a demonic sect that was hated by everyone and was in collusion with demons.

But what’s interesting is that while everyone in the various sects is calling for the destruction of the Demon Slaying Alliance, many Nascent Soul sects in the Demon Slaying Alliance are privately contacting the Xuan Sect, some to gather information, and some to make friends with them privately and beg them to spare their lives.

The reason why he is so unconfident is, of course, that Su Ze’s record is too scary.

Single-handedly breaking through the Huashen Sect presided over by the Huashen Venerable, what a horrific achievement!
Even the Danxia Sect couldn’t withstand it, let alone the ordinary Nascent Soul Sects.

As for these ordinary Nascent Soul sects, Su Ze did not kill them all, but gave them a chance to survive.

As long as they swore to serve Xuanzong as their leader, abide by the rules, send a copy of the sect’s classics, and send half of their disciples to join the coalition, they could keep the sect. When this decision was first sent to them, no one responded, and all the Yuanying sects stopped contacting.

In response to this, Su Ze just smiled coldly and sent out the two incarnations of the ancient witches Hou Tu and Tian Wu to take action and destroy the two Yuanying sects near the Danxia Sect.

The appearance of two top beings in this world who were at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm directly frightened these sects.

One is enough to give them a headache, and if there is another, there will be no way they can fight back.

In less than half a month, the leader of the Nascent Soul Sect of the Red Flame Sect came to visit in person to express his submission.

Su Ze sent people over to make a copy of all the classics in the sect, and transferred half of the disciples over to join the newly formed punitive coalition.

However, after a beating, he also gave some sweet rewards, two Infant Transformation Pills, ten Hunyuan Wuliang Pills, and fifty Foundation Establishment Pills as Xuanzong’s return gift.

As soon as this return gift was given, all the resentment in the Chiyan Sect disappeared instantly.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is fine, although it is precious, there are many sources to obtain it.

No one in the Chiyan Sect is able to refine the Hunyuan Wuliang Pill used for forming the elixir, and the sect currently has less than ten pills in stock.

Not to mention the two Infant Transformation Pills, which are the top-level pills in the entire Xuanyu Small Thousand World.

Su Ze’s tactic of spending a fortune on a horse’s bones was very effective. When the news spread, many Nascent Soul sects were immediately willing to surrender.

Su Ze did not favor one sect over another. He treated all sects equally and gave the same gifts in return.

As one rose, the other fell. The strength of the Demon-Slaying Alliance declined, while Xuanzong’s strength increased. The Demon-Slaying Alliance, which was no match to begin with, became even more powerless.

A year later, Su Ze once again announced an ultimatum to the Demon-Slaying Alliance, stating that if they did not surrender within three months, no surrender would be accepted in the future.

Except for Danxia Sect and Wuji Sect.

These two Huashen sects will not accept surrender, and the same will be true for other domains in the future. No surrender will be accepted from any Huashen sect.

The reason is naturally because the Huashen Sect has been passed down for too long, and the disciples have strong centripetal force, which makes it difficult to change.

The second reason is that the Huashen Sect has sufficient foundation. Even if the Huashen Venerable is killed, its foundation determines that there will be a chance for the second Huashen Venerable to be born in the future.

One or two Huashen sects would be fine, but the problem is that there are quite a few Huashen sects in such a big world.

There are three in the Western Region alone, and the Western Region is at the bottom of the five regions, similar to the Northern Region, far lower than the Eastern and Southern Regions, and even less comparable to the Central Region where there are many Transformation Sects.

If there are too many Huashen sects left, it will affect future governance, and we are even more worried that they will cause trouble in the future.

After all, conquering the Xuanyu Small Thousand World is just Su Ze’s initial plan. Xuanzong’s ambition is not limited to this. He wants to conquer other worlds and even the Great Thousand World in the future, and this requires a stable rear.

If too many Huashen sects are left behind, and the main force of Xuan Sect is transferred away in the future, the world will be empty, and these Huashen sects with hidden hatred will cause trouble, which will be very troublesome.

“boom!”

There was a violent earthquake thousands of feet in the sky, and the space within a radius of a hundred miles shrank inwards, and then suddenly expanded and exploded. A high-level flying boat in the middle of it, along with the two Yuanying Zhenjuns and dozens of core disciples of the Five Extremes Sect with varying levels of cultivation, were all smashed to pieces.

“How naive!”

To cut the grass, one must remove the roots. Su Ze had been prepared for this. Two incarnations of the Ancestral Witch were hiding near the Wuji Sect, ready to intercept anyone who tried to escape.

As long as all the core elite disciples die, it won’t be a problem if more ordinary disciples escape.

If one wants to revive the sect in the future, they must have elite disciples to do it. Ordinary disciples do not have that ability. No matter how many resources they have, they cannot even reach the Nascent Soul stage, let alone revive the sect.

At this time, all the disciples of Wuji Sect and Danxia Sect who escaped were blocked inside Wuji Sect, unable to escape even if they had wings.

When the three-month deadline was up, the two hidden incarnations of the Ancestral Witch appeared, directly outside the mountain gate of the Wuji Sect.

At this time, there was a cloud of gloom in the Wuji Sect. Venerable Danxia and Venerable Wuji looked at the two extremely powerful demon gods outside with worried faces, feeling extremely desperate in their hearts.

The fate of the Danxia Sect and the power demonstrated by the two demon gods’ true bodies many times during this period made them completely lose the confidence to resist with the help of the sect protection formation.

“I never thought that my Five Extremes Sect, which has been passed down for ten thousand years, would be destroyed by me. I feel so ashamed of my ancestors!”

The more Venerable Wuji looked at the situation, the more desperate he became. He could not think of any way to resolve the current crisis.

Escape, you can’t escape.

Surrender, they will not accept it.

despair!

This time, Su Ze’s real body and old man Xingjian all took action, and with the addition of more than 100,000 disciples, they surrounded the entire Wuji Sect tightly.

Su Ze took action and sacrificed the Xuanming Nine Apertures Pearl. He used magic power beyond the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation to activate the Creation of Heaven Spirit Treasure and summoned four Xuanming gods between the peak of the Spirit Transformation and the Refining Void to stand at the four sides of the Wuji Sect’s mountain gate.

The Xuanming God summoned the Xuanming Water to freeze an area of ​​thousands miles.

The power beyond this world’s level was consumed back and forth, and it took only a short period of an incense stick of time to wear through the Five Extremes Sect’s mountain protection formation.

An extremely cold wave swept through, freezing the vast Five Poles into ice from top to bottom.

The two deified masters attacked in desperation, but were hammered to death by the real bodies of the two ancestor witches, Houtu and Tianwu.

The fight was over in just an incense stick of time, and the Huashen Sect, which had been passed down for thousands of years, was destroyed. All the disciples in the huge sect were killed, including the Danxia Sect’s Huashen Venerable and many Nascent Soul elders.

Once the Danxia Sect and the Wuji Sect were destroyed, the rest of the sect was unstoppable and crushing.

They surrendered completely at the first sight of the enemy, and no sect dared to resist.

In less than two years, all the Nascent Soul sects in the vast Million Mountains were either destroyed, relocated, or surrendered.

After dealing with the human side, the demon side also began to make a move. Three gods descended and headed straight for the demon race’s holy place, Wangyue Mountain.

After a fierce battle, the Demon King of Wangyue Mountain was killed head-on and the holy land of the demon clan was conquered.

Then, all the demon tribes also surrendered.

Combining the intelligence from the human sects in the Million Mountains, Su Ze ordered that all the evil demons and demon kings who liked to eat people among the many demon kings in the Million Mountains be killed one by one, and the remaining few big demons and demons were all gathered in one place and kept in captivity.

At this point, the vast millions of mountains had become the province of Xuanzong.

However, all subsequent specific operational matters were handed over to the Xuan Sect’s Elders Council for handling, and Su Ze left after destroying the Wuji Sect.

He has more important things to do.
