Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 226: The Battle Begins

Looking at the admiration and respect on Great Venerable Huolian's face, the gods on the field were inexplicably shocked.

Even if Venerable Huolian deceived them, her cultivation level couldn't deceive people.

From the second step to the fifth step of the Heavenly Stairway, there were three steps in between, enough to consume the time it takes for a true god to refine for over ten thousand years.

After the great changes in the world, it became even more difficult to ascend, especially to the realm of Great Venerable from Venerable. Not everyone had the opportunity to condense a Divine Domain.

In just a few days, the earth-shattering changes in Venerable Huolian were truly astonishing.

If it was only Venerable Huolian who underwent such a terrifying change, they could still think that Origin Heavenly Venerable was indulging in women. But even Huanghun had undergone such changes, which couldn't be explained by lust.

Ye Liuyun's breathing became rapid.

Observing the divine technique!

Suddenly, his strength skyrocketed, and only the Observing Divine Technique could explain it.

Suddenly, Ye Liuyun thought of the powerful Dragon Race that Qi Yuan had mentioned, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

If they were all true... the opportunities he would gain would be unimaginable.

He regretted it in his heart. After the Hundred Flowers Festival ended, he should have followed Qi Yuan to Qingshui Village.

Anyway, he was a commoner now. If he had done so back then, perhaps he would be the Great Venerable now.

He was filled with regret.

The ancient gods on the field also had various thoughts in their hearts.

"Tonight, a great battle will begin. To prevent any leaks of information, all of you should rest here for a day," Great Venerable Huolian's voice was as gentle as ever, her green hair cascading down, her temples soft.

"Is one day too short? Shouldn't we wait until the battle is almost over?" Yuan Kun calmly said.

"We have no complaints. Staying here for a few more days is fine," someone else said.

"Origin Heavenly Venerable's plan is the priority!"

These people quickly assumed their roles and considered Qi Yuan's interests.

Great Venerable Huanghun and Great Venerable Huolian didn't explain any further. After a few instructions, they disappeared.

...

Nightfall slowly descended.

In the hall, several terrifying figures gathered.

Below Qi Yuan, stood a group of ancient gods.

These ancient gods were now all Great Venerables, possessing formidable strength.

At this moment, they gathered together to discuss the upcoming deployment of troops to Qingheng Continent.

Great Venerable Shenlei was full of confidence and his gaze was like a torch. "There are two Mythicals in Qingheng Continent, one is the Lord of Liyang Army, and the other is the Deputy Lord of Tai Zhong Army. I will take care of these two. I alone can suppress them!"

The twin sisters, who were usually reserved, also revealed their sharpness at this moment. "Although we are only at the fifth step of the Heavenly Stairway, our Divine Domains can overlap and unite, allowing us to fight against Mythicals."

Great Venerable Zanghui stood among the crowd and secretly glanced at Great Venerable Shenlei.

Now that there were eight ancient gods supporting each other, his courage grew, and he was no longer as afraid of Great Venerable Shenlei.

"Although I am only at the sixth step of the Heavenly Stairway, I can still stop one or two Mythicals," a low-key old man said. He was referring to Southern Xuanzhen Wanfu Heavenly Venerable, one of the Ten Great Heavenly Venerables.

Qi Yuan nodded. With the cooperation of many ancient gods on the field, there were three of them with the power to fight against Mythicals.

And this was only temporary. As long as they were given time, Qi Yuan believed that in a hundred or a thousand years, there would probably be twenty or thirty other forces at the Mythical level.

But Qi Yuan couldn't wait that long.

"Our current strength is still far inferior to the Evil Gods, but compared to the Lord of Liyang Army, we are much stronger!" Qi Yuan was full of confidence.

Just then, a voice came, "Heavenly Venerable, Great Venerable Lishan has arrived!"

Qi Yuan was surprised.

Great Venerable Lishan had actually come from the southern region to the northern region?

"Let him in," Qi Yuan ordered.

The ancient gods present were full of spirit.

Great Venerable Shenlei continued, "Now is the best time to start the war! I think we should go to the headquarters of the Evil Gods in Qingheng Continent and kill them until the rivers run red with blood!"

"Great Venerable Shenlei, is this how you show your prudence? Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't act recklessly?"

At this moment, a grumbling voice came.

Great Venerable Lishan with white hair entered, looking at Great Venerable Shenlei with a murderous gaze, as if he could dismember him right now.

Previously, Great Venerable Shenlei had been complaining to him, saying that he was not reckless, but Origin Heavenly Venerable was. At that time, he believed Great Venerable Shenlei's words and regarded Origin Heavenly Venerable as a reckless person.

But now that he had just arrived, what did he hear?

Kill the headquarters of the Evil God in Qinghengzhou?

Make the blood flow like a river?

Great Venerable Shenlei really fooled him. Great Venerable Shenlei must have been reckless all along and instigated Origin Heavenly Venerable.

He misunderstood Origin Heavenly Venerable.

Great Venerable Lishan was furious, glaring at Great Venerable Shenlei.

Great Venerable Shenlei looked at Great Venerable Lishan and a smile appeared on his face: "Lishan, I am not reckless. I am very steady. I only plan to challenge two Mythicals in Qinghengzhou, and leave the rest to the other ancient gods."

"If it were in the past, I would have killed them all by myself."

"Now, am I not mature and steady enough?"

Upon hearing this, Great Venerable Lishan was stunned.

He couldn't react to Great Venerable Shenlei's words for a moment.

Great Venerable Shenlei smiled faintly and said, "Lishan, open your eyes and see... what is my cultivation level?"

The Divine Domain on Great Venerable Shenlei suddenly expanded.

In an instant, endless thunder filled the air.

The terrifying Divine Domain seemed to turn the world into a sea of thunder.

The white hair on Great Venerable Lishan stood on end.

Great Venerable Lishan widened his eyes and his voice trembled, "Mythical, how did you become Mythical?"

He couldn't understand, couldn't imagine.

In just a short time, his good brother became Mythical?

It felt like you and your good brother were the richest and second richest in the village.

And after a few days, your good brother became the richest person in the country.

Great Venerable Lishan was not shocked in his heart.

He was even puzzled.

"With my Mythical status, I can suppress two mere Mythicals, and I am not mature and steady enough?" Great Venerable Shenlei said proudly.

Great Venerable Lishan fell silent.

The Divine Domain in front of him was so real that it couldn't be fake.

"In half an hour, we will attack the headquarters of the Evil God in Qinghengzhou."

"Great Venerable Lishan, your strength is decent. How about playing the suona for me?" Great Venerable Shenlei said proudly.

He remembered how Qi Yuan had asked him to control thunder and kill enemies.

He suddenly realized that it was quite interesting.

If Great Venerable Lishan played the suona behind him, his combat power would definitely be enhanced when he killed the Mythicals. It could be described as "leading the way with a grand parade, with ten thousand horses and a thousand troops playing music!"

Great Venerable Lishan couldn't say a word.

At this moment, Qi Yuan, who was sitting on the high platform, spoke, "It seems that everyone is full of confidence. In that case, all the ancient gods, prepare to attack Qinghengzhou!"

His calm voice sounded like thunder in Great Venerable Lishan's ears.

"Yes, sir!" Great Venerable Shenlei was full of confidence.

Since being injured, he hadn't really made a move.

Last time, when he was preparing to assassinate Zhang Feng, he was intercepted by Qi Yuan.

This time, he was extremely looking forward to the battle.

"Yes, sir!" The twin sister's eyes also revealed a sharpness.

Who could have imagined that the ancient gods, who had been retreating step by step and even giving up the northern region for a southern migration, would launch their first large-scale counterattack against the Evil God today?

This time, regardless of their success or failure, it would shake the world.

Even the gods above the Heavenly Pillar would probably become aware of this.

But everyone present had no fear.

Instead, their hearts became more and more excited.

"Kill, kill, kill! Destroy him completely!" exclaimed the ancient god Wangsong.

All the ancient gods present were filled with a strong fighting spirit. The accumulated battle intent in their hearts was like a dormant volcano that had not erupted in a hundred thousand years, seemingly ready to burst out fiercely.

For so many years, the evil gods had oppressed the northern lands, causing immense suffering for all the ancient gods.

Facing the evil gods, the ancient gods could only struggle to survive, with hardly any ancient gods considering a counterattack.

But today, it seemed that they were going to achieve it.

And this counterattack was on a large scale, overwhelming!

Great Venerable Lishan watched this scene, deeply moved in his heart.

Because he keenly felt that the aura emanating from these ancient gods, many of whom he was familiar with, was terrifyingly extraordinary.

He seemed to be infected by the scene before him and murmured, "Shen Lei, if you can kill the mythical evil god, I will play music for you once, why not!"

...

Qingheng Continent, the stronghold of the evil gods.

Li Yangjun, the commander-in-chief, wore a black robe with deep and profound eyes.

Tai Zhong, the deputy commander-in-chief, stood beside Li Yangjun, his eyes mixed with a trace of awe.

Although both were mythical beings, there was a great difference between them.

Li Yangjun was favored by the Sun God and had his own star that illuminated the heavens.

The size of that star was not large, only 1.5 times the size of the moon on the Blue Star where Qi Yuan had been before.

But even so, it was still a star that illuminated the heavens.

Li Yangjun had once killed a mythical being in the mortal realm, which was incomparable to his own kind of mythical being.

Tai Zhong, the deputy commander-in-chief, lowered his head, like the most devout servant of Li Yangjun, and asked, "Commander, what does our lord say?"

Stars fell, and the Sunset Slope became famous.

All five commanders were moved.

Li Yangjun also went to meet the lord, having just returned.

Li Yangjun shook his head with a complex look in his eyes. "The lord is in seclusion, and I haven't seen him."

Li Yangjun and the other evil gods were loyal to their lord, known as Blood God Great Saint.

He was a Sun God, hanging high in the heavens, with countless divine weapons and generals under his command.

Just among those who illuminated the heavens, there were more than twenty.

Most importantly, Blood God Great Saint's daughter, Blood Yang Great Saint, was also a Sun God.

Both father and daughter were Sun Gods, and they were truly terrifying.

If Blood Yang Great Saint completely devoured the Heavenly Dao of the mortal realm and transformed it into an Innate seed.

Then, Blood Yang Great Saint's strength would reach a higher level, and her potential would greatly increase.

Their subordinates' strength would also rise.

"You don't have to worry." Li Yangjun comforted his deputy, seemingly seeing the worry in his eyes. "The events of the previous time will not happen again.

Last time, when the star fell, the lord didn't intervene because he couldn't be bothered. That strike was only a tickle to the princess. If the lord intervened, it would be troublesome, so it's better to let the princess handle it.

But who knew that unknown Sun God would attack the Sunset Slope without any sense of martial ethics.

Now the lord will definitely take it seriously, and such a thing will not happen.

Without the assistance of the Sun God, there is no power in the mortal realm that can threaten us.

Not even a single mythical being, how dare they provoke us?

When the news from the lord arrives, we will surely rally and sweep away all these evil spirits!"

Confidence filled Li Yangjun's eyes.

Apart from the assistance of the Sun God, all the enemies in the mortal realm were nothing.

These people were nothing more than insignificant beings.

"You're right, Commander. Without the assistance of the Sun God, these people are just a bunch of clowns." Tai Zhong's eyes flashed with disdain.

With just one person, he could almost turn the southern lands upside down.

The so-called heritage of the mortal realm was nothing in their eyes.

However, at this moment, suddenly, a vast and boundless voice, like a world-destroying thunder, resounded abruptly in the air.

"I hold the power of life and death, reward and punishment.

The General of the Five Thunder, controlling the hearts of the Three Realms.

Now, I command Myriad Tribulations Thunder, to slay demons and eradicate evil, and cleanse all the wickedness in the heavens!

With this grand sound, the sky above the headquarters of the Evil God.

Dark clouds gathered, thunderous pressure filled the world.

The sea of thunder inverted, the divine prison imposing.

Within the endless thunder, terrifying divine shadows appeared one by one.

The General of the Nine Heavens Thunder, the General of the Eight Directions Cloud Thunder,

The Thunder King of the Five Directions, the Thirty-Six Thunder Generals, the Envoys of the Five Barbarian Thunders,

The Twenty-Four Guardian Heavenly Lords...

Countless heavenly soldiers of the Thunder Department, waving flags and assisting, palms wielding thunder.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The sound of thunder drums filled the air, and the word "kill" surged like a tide.

In the headquarters of the Evil God, the faces of all the evil gods turned pale at this moment.

As if suddenly besieged by millions of true gods!

In the headquarters of the Evil God, chaos erupted in an instant.

A trace of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Liyang Army.

Mythical!

Divine Domain!

How could there be Mythical in this realm!

At this moment, he didn't have time to think too much, and he quickly shouted, "This is the Mythical Divine Domain, all the gods are illusory, not real!"

He wanted to dispel the fear in the hearts of his subordinates.

However, his shout did not dispel the fear of too many true gods.

Because, even if they were just illusions, they felt an unmatched sense of power and overwhelming pressure.

If they were not illusions, what would happen?

They couldn't even imagine!

The Lord of the Liyang Army felt a little anxious.

Even he, in the face of that Mythical, smelled a strong threat.

And that Mythical directly unfolded the Divine Domain, completely enveloping the headquarters of the Evil God.

He had to break through this Divine Domain as soon as possible.

The Lord of the Liyang Army shouted loudly.

"Blood God, lend me your divine light, and cleanse the illusions!"

His Divine Domain also unfolded at this moment.

Above the sky, a star the size of a grain of rice suddenly burst into brilliant light.

In the entire Thunder Divine Domain, a blood-red radiance shone at this moment.

The Lord of the Liyang Army's body was composed of towering blood light.

He stood under the thunder, with endless blood light below.

However, in the face of the invincible thunder, the blood light Divine Domain trembled.

The Deputy Chief of the Heavy Division saw this and also quickly unfolded his Divine Domain: "Chief, I will assist you!"

The two Mythicals joined forces to face the terrifying enemy.

Above the sky, the purple eyes of the Thunder Great Venerable showed neither sorrow nor joy, and countless thunder reflections flickered.

A majestic voice resounded.

"Illuminate the Great Dao of Heaven, alleviate the suffering of the netherworld!"

"When your hearts are filled with delusions, you must be killed!"

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, listen to my command, kill!"

With the terrifying voice of the Thunder Great Venerable, the battle within the Divine Domain finally began.

In an instant, endless thunder transformed into heavenly soldiers, descending from the sky and killing into the blood light.
