Chapter 3867 Hanging the Corpse for Public Display

Eternal Life Sect acted swiftly.

While numerous fallen immortals invaded, causing turmoil, the Eternal Life Sect gave Shenfeng Prefecture almost no chance to breathe, launching a massive invasion.

The dark turmoil that had subsided for millennia erupted once more.

In less than a month,

several high-level immortal domains were destroyed.

Many top-tier immortal domains, even supreme immortal domains, were plunged into chaos.

This news shook the entire Shenfeng Prefecture.

Many neighboring immortal prefectures turned their gazes towards Shenfeng Prefecture.

“Dark Turmoil!”

“Those dark sects really couldn’t sit still!” “

Shenfeng Prefecture has experienced several calamities. This time, with many dark sects joining forces, I wonder if they can survive this calamity—” “Shenfeng Prefecture

is, after all, one of the three thousand six hundred immortal prefectures, with a profound foundation. It’s impossible for mere dark sects to allow Shenfeng Prefecture to fall. In my opinion, they might only be able to cause some turmoil at most!”

The forces and ancient beings that turned their gazes exchanged their divine thoughts. While

the Dark Cults are not to be underestimated,

Shenfeng Prefecture possesses a far deeper foundation.

Past calamities haven’t necessarily crippled Shenfeng Prefecture.

The current invasion of Shenfeng Prefecture by numerous Dark Cults is seen by other cultivators as merely causing some turmoil; the possibility of a prefecture falling is slim.

However,

whether Shenfeng Prefecture falls or not

is of little concern to them.

The 3,600 prefectures are each operating independently.

It would be good enough if other prefectures didn’t seize this opportunity to interfere and take advantage of the situation; offering assistance is out of the question.

…

“The Dark Cults’ invasion—Shenfeng Prefecture is truly in a time of great turmoil!”

Inside Tianzhu Mansion, Bai Lianchuan’s expression was grave as he read the news.

Tianzhu Mansion, as an old power in Shenfeng Prefecture, has a long and rich history, with numerous records about the Heavenly Dao Battlefield.

Every time the Heavenly Dao Battlefield opens, a great calamity erupts.

Many ancient forces from the Chaos Realm take advantage of this opportunity to plunder the cultivation resources of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

After all—

the vast Chaos, though seemingly boundless, is far inferior in cultivation resources to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

In the past, when the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was at its peak, these forces naturally dared not act rashly.

To put it bluntly,

the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm’s foundation is far stronger than that of the Chaos.

As the core of the Upper Realm, every top force that can occupy the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm possesses the most formidable strength.

Forces like the Heavenly Forging Palace and other ordinary forces, while also rooted in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, are insignificant.

These forces are more like dependents on the top forces for survival. In comparison, the true masters of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm are only those supreme forces standing at the very top. This is

because in the vast Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, with its 3,600 Immortal Provinces, 90% of the cultivation resources are controlled by those supreme forces.

The remaining less than 10% of cultivation resources slips through their fingers, divided among countless forces across numerous Immortal Provinces and over countless years.

Those supreme forces can achieve this because their strength and foundation are exceptionally powerful.

Compared to it, other chaotic forces were all inferior.

Therefore,

in the past, many chaotic forces dared not act rashly.

In times like the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, many powerful figures either passively entered the Ancient Immortal Realm or actively sought opportunities to advance further, leaving the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm vulnerable. This was the opportunity that other chaotic forces saw.

Now—

Shenfeng Prefecture has experienced several great calamities, especially the cataclysmic calamity millions of years ago, which wiped out many powerful forces and caused countless deaths.

In terms of strength, Shenfeng Prefecture has suffered significant losses.

Now,

the Dark Cult is in turmoil again, and it should not be underestimated.

Although Bailianchuan’s strength is not particularly strong, its observation and understanding of the situation are very clear.

This situation

is not good news.

Bai Lianfeng’s expression was also solemn: “The Dark Cult’s target is Shenfeng Prefecture, presumably because Shenfeng Prefecture has suffered several major calamities in the past, weakening its strength.

Now, with various regions in turmoil, Shenfeng Prefecture is no longer peaceful. Should we make plans as soon as possible?”

“The best course of action now is to remain unchanged amidst all changes. The situation in Shenfeng Prefecture is chaotic, and other immortal prefectures are unlikely to fare much better. This calamity is enough to affect the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Shentian Domain is, after all, a mid-level immortal domain, and not many powerful figures will pay attention to it. With the strength of our Tianzhu Mansion, we may not be able to defend the immortal domain, but we can certainly protect ourselves!”

Bai Lianchuan shook his head, then a complex expression appeared on his face.

“It’s a pity that the Xuantian Dao Sect is not here. Otherwise, if the Xuantian Dao Sect were here, we wouldn’t need to worry about the turmoil in Shentian Domain!”

Upon hearing this,

Bai Lianfeng’s expression also became slightly complicated.

“What the Mansion Master says is very true!”

The Xuantian Dao Sect is incredibly powerful. Even at the height of Tianzhu Mansion’s power, it was probably difficult to contend with them.

Especially the Xuan Tian Sword Master, whose strength is unfathomable. With

such power

, let alone in a mid-tier Immortal Domain, he could easily dominate even some top-tier Immortal Domains, deterring other forces from acting rashly. Calling him a hegemon of a top-tier Immortal Domain wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

After all,

Shenfeng Prefecture’s strength isn’t particularly strong among the 3,600 Immortal Domains.

In some top-tier Immortal Domains, such as the four ancient Immortal Domains, a half-saint level force is only considered a large force; to be a hegemon, one would need at least a saint or even a great saint to preside over it.

But Shenfeng Prefecture is different.

A force like the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, placed in some weaker top-tier Immortal Domains, wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a hegemon.

For example, the former Illusion God Domain was actually relatively weak; ostensibly, Immortal Emperors were revered, and while there were some half-saint level experts, they weren’t numerous.

Therefore,

if the Xuan Tian Dao Sect were still around, who would dare to invade Shenfeng Prefecture?

After all, the Divine Heaven Domain was merely a mid-level Immortal Domain with limited resources. Other forces capable of dealing with the Profound Heaven Dao Sect wouldn’t risk a life-or-death struggle for a mid-level Immortal Domain.

Unfortunately,

with the Profound Heaven Dao Sect gone and the Divine Heaven Domain severely weakened, the situation was different.

However,

even so,

Bai Lianchuan wasn’t too worried.

With the strength of the Heavenly Forging Palace, preserving its foundation in a mid-level Immortal Domain shouldn’t be a problem.

“I just wonder if the Divine Heaven Domain can advance to a high-level Immortal Domain after this battle!”

Bai Lianchuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking towards the void, his eyes becoming profound.

Upon hearing this, an elder of the Heavenly Forging Palace confidently stated, “Although the Profound Heaven Dao Sect is gone, the Divine Heaven Domain’s foundation remains. Many Immortal Emperors entered the Ancient Immortal Realm this time; advancing the Divine Heaven Domain to a high-level Immortal Domain is absolutely no problem!”

The other cultivators nodded in agreement.

They shared the same view.

With the Divine Heaven Domain’s current strength, advancing to a high-level Immortal Domain was an easy matter.

If the Xuantian Dao Sect were still around, they might even have a chance to challenge the top-tier Immortal Domains.

But even without the Xuantian Dao Sect, reaching the high-level Immortal Domain wouldn’t be surprising.

Among the many mid-level Immortal Domains in Shenfeng Prefecture, none can rival the strength of Shentian Domain, not even many high-level Immortal Domains.

This time,

the Tianzhu Mansion alone sent six or seven Immortal Emperors to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Besides the Tianzhu Mansion, there are also many dormant Immortal Emperors in Shentian Domain, with at least a dozen or twenty Immortal Emperors entering the Ancient Battlefield this time.

With such a force, pushing Shentian Domain to the high-level Immortal Domain would naturally be no problem.

Originally,

Bai Lianchuan also planned to enter the Ancient Immortal Realm to seek an opportunity to break through to the Half-Saint Realm.

But after thinking about it, he ultimately didn’t do so.

Because the next great calamity still lasts for two Immortal King eras, while the Heavenly Dao Battlefield only opens once every Immortal King era, Bai Lianchuan believes he can simply wait one or two more Immortal King eras and then travel to the Ancient Immortal Realm when the Heavenly Dao Battlefield opens.

Besides,

many Immortal Emperors from the Heavenly Forging Palace have been selected this time.

If he also enters the Ancient Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Forging Palace will inevitably be empty.

Therefore,

Bai Lianchuan is not in a hurry.

…

Half a month later.

The heavens trembled.

A fallen immortal arrived from beyond the heavens, intending to sacrifice the entire Divine Heaven Domain to prolong his life.

While all living beings were filled with fear, Bai Lianchuan of the Heavenly Forging Palace directly used his Innate Emperor Weapon to nail the fallen immortal to the void, publicly displaying his corpse and letting his blood flow to intimidate all sides.

Other fallen immortals who wanted to target the Divine Heaven Domain were terrified upon seeing this scene.

Many ancient fallen immortals recognized the Immortal Emperor nailed to the void, his corpse displayed for all to see. They knew he was a peak Immortal Emperor, yet now he was hanging there, how could the other fallen immortals not be afraid?

Many more knew that the one who had made the move was Bai Lianchuan, the Lord of the Heavenly Forging Palace, which made them hesitate.

The Heavenly Forging Palace had a formidable reputation!

Bai Lianchuan’s strength was not to be underestimated.

If they were to unleash their full power, they might be able to besiege Bai Lianchuan and destroy the Heavenly Forging Palace.

But the problem was—

there was no need.

Fallen immortals were cultivators who refused to perish, using secret techniques and forbidden arts to survive.

This blood sacrifice of the Immortal Realm’s inhabitants was merely to prolong their own lives.

Without sufficient benefit, it was absolutely impossible for them to fight the Heavenly Forging Palace to the death.

Even if the Heavenly Forging Palace were gone, so what?

The price to pay was beyond what the other fallen immortals could bear.

After all, dealing with such a force would require the sacrifice of at least a number of fallen immortals, and no one wanted to use their own lives to pave the way for others.

Therefore,

after witnessing the strength and formidable nature of the Heavenly Forging Palace, the other fallen immortals abandoned the idea of targeting the Divine Heaven Domain.

However—

the Divine Wind Continent has many immortal domains.

If one Divine Heaven Domain cannot be sacrificed, then they will start with other immortal domains.

The strength of many high-level immortal domains is not necessarily stronger than that of the current Divine Heaven Domain.

Moreover,

high-level immortal domains are vast, with a greater number of living beings.

If a blood sacrifice can be performed, the effect will be optimal.
