The World that Tao Rules, Volume 18, page 21
Seeing the blood sea, and hearing the voice, Jiang Yun's face changed again, softly uttering three words from his mouth, "Xue Dongliu!"
Regardless of the sudden sound or the blood sea all over the sky, Jiang Yun felt so familiar!
Back when Xue Dongliu almost took over his body, but luckily Xue Dongliu changed his mind and gave him a big fortune instead.
So Jiang Yun immediately recognized that the one coming now was Xue Dongliu, who had been confined in the seventh level of the Dao Prison in reality!
Moreover, listening to Xue Dongliu's words, it was clear that he was a subordinate of the Demon Refiner, coming to help the Taoist Lord to fight against the three major clans!
Watching the boiling blood sea getting closer, Jiang Yun's eyes were constantly changing with light!
Because of Xue Dongliu's appearance, he suddenly understood some things!
"The seventh level of the Dao Prison is not just one world, but eight worlds, forming the Seven Star Tao Seal."
"Hou Muran from Zhen Dao Sect said that he has visited Evil Path World, Golden Path World, and Blood Path World!"
"Now with Xue Dongliu here and another person Evil Old Coffin, could the powerful monster locked up in Evil Path World be him?"
"If it is him, can I assume that the eight worlds in the seventh level of Dao Prison hold the eight monsters under the command of Demon Refiner?"
"Furthermore, when Xue Dongliu told me to find his older brother, could his so-called older brother be their leader, also known as Demon Refiner?"
Jiang Yun's mind was filled with a series of images.
In reality, Demon Refiner led Xue Dongliu and other powerful demons to help Taoist Lord successfully defeat the nine silent clans, making Taoist Lord the ruler of countless Tao Worlds and allowing Dao God Temple to control them.
However, they never imagined that the victorious Taoist Lord would turn against them, his former allies.
For some unknown reason, Taoist Lord did not kill them directly but instead established Dao Prison.
He threw all the monsters, along with the remaining members of the nine silent clans, into Dao Prison, imprisoning them for eternity.
"This should be the truth of Dao Prison!"
Just then, a face emerged from the boundless sea of blood that had already fallen from the sky.
The appearance of that face was exactly the same as Xue Dongliu that Jiang Yun saw.
He smirked and said, "Since everyone is here, why wait? I'll make the first move!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea of blood suddenly expanded, turning into endless blood rain, falling directly towards the gathered army of the three clans!
It must be said that the three powerful monsters that appeared last were extremely domineering.
After Evil Old Coffin was stopped by Man Tuntian from making the first move, Xue Dongliu, without saying a word, also attacked as soon as he appeared.
And his attack finally kicked off the prelude to this ultimate battle!
Evil Old Coffin couldn't wait any longer. Hearing that the boss wasn't coming for now and Xue Dongliu had already made a move, how could he wait any longer?
He smirked and dashed towards Man Tuntian, saying, "Man Tuntian, the boss values you, so he personally came to help you against the demon race in this world."
"But you are ungrateful, betraying the boss in the end. I'll kill you on behalf of the boss today!"
His words made those who knew about the rebellion in the Desolate World realize that the three demons were under the command of the Demon Refiner.
Originally, the Demon Refiner also wanted to recruit Man Tuntian, but Jiang Yun's presence made Man Tuntian change his mind and return to the Desolate World tribe.
Man Tuntian laughed and replied, "Not scared of you!"
With a flash, surrounded by colorful mist, he headed towards Evil Old Coffin.
"I'll take on the blood demon!"
Man Shang dashed forward, generating a colorful mist that enveloped the three tribes' armies and faced the blood rain falling from the sky.
Seeing his two companions already in battle, the Black Old Monster shook his head and said, "I can't stay idle either."
He turned his head and looked at Hun Cang standing in the air, clasping his hands and said, "I have heard of the famed Chaos clan. Today, I, Black, will witness the skills of the Chaos clan leader!"
The strength of Black Old Monster was obviously very high, as he directly targeted Hun Cang.
This made Hun Cang coldly smile, and beside him, an elder of the Chaos clan stepped forward and said, "No need for overkill to deal with someone like you, Little Horn. It's unnecessary for our clan leader to intervene!"
Watching the elder confront Black Old Monster on his behalf, Hun Cang laughed loudly and said, "Since it has already started, let's not stand idle!"
Hun Cang looked towards the Silent Extinction Golem standing far away between heaven and earth and said, "Mo Xiao, we once battled before, but couldn't determine a winner."
"Now that you have joined Taoist Lord and seem to have gained many benefits from him, let me see if you have improved!"
Atop the Silent Extinction Golem, a sudden appearance of a man in black clothing revealed eyes filled with hatred, staring coldly at Hun Cang. Without a word, he took a step forward to face him.
Mo Xiao is the leader of the demon clan. Although he had to submit his tribe to the Hall of Deicide, he resents anyone mentioning it.
Especially when spoken by Hun Cang, who is also one of the Nine Silent Clans like himself!
Lv Piaomiao also pointed to the Wuding Soul Fire hanging in the sky and said, "As long as our spirits are alive, let's stretch our muscles and bones!"
"Hmph!"
A cold snort came from the Wuding Soul Fire, and a figure in white flew out, who was the leader of the Soul Clan.
In the blink of an eye, several top experts had already started fighting, and Tianluo finally raised his palm slowly at this moment, saying in a deep voice, "Three clans, wipe out the Hall of Deicide!"
With a simple command, the entire battlefield was instantly ignited.
Amidst countless earth-shattering roars, the three clans' army of six million cultivators charged towards the cultivators of the Hall of Deicide.
Although there was no one giving orders from the side of the Hall of Deicide, they almost simultaneously faced the army of the three clans.
The great battle had truly begun!
Chapter 1002: Free Movement
As the great battle unfolded on the ground, in the sky, the nine gigantic golden swords belonging to Hall of Deicide and the black-and-white chessboard with twelve sides suddenly trembled violently.
Although most of the cultivators had already left, there were still a few people standing on it.
At this moment, they each activated the golden swords and the chessboard, charging towards the fifty-four skyships in the sky.
The people of the Desolate World tribe at the bow of the fifty-four skyships each sneered and activated all their Desolate Marks on themselves and the ship, boldly confronting them.
Only Jiang Yun's skyship remained motionless in place.
And Jiang Yun himself had not joined the battle yet.
Although both the Hall of Deicide and the three major tribes had heard of Jiang Yun's name before, he had been in closed-door cultivation later, keeping a low profile deliberately. Therefore, many people in the Reincarnation and Chaos tribes had not truly seen Jiang Yun, let alone the Hall of Deicide.
Furthermore, on such a vast battlefield, he was sitting on the skyship, overlooking from above, so few people noticed his presence. Naturally, no one challenged him.
Jiang Yun's gaze was fixed on the ongoing battle of the millions of cultivators below. Even though he remained calm, at this moment, he felt extremely shocked.
Such a large-scale war involved most of the powerful beings in almost countless worlds.
If it weren't for this magical realm, he might never have had the chance to see, let alone experience it in person during his lifetime.
However, despite the grand spectacle of the war, the lives within it became insignificant.
Although the great battle had just begun, both sides' armies had already seen at least hundreds of lives vanish after a brief clash.
Even though this war was between the three tribes defending their homeland and the Hall of Deicide seeking to destroy them, it seemed like the three tribes were on the side of justice.
In reality, wars have never been clearly right or wrong.
After Jiang Yun's firsthand experience in this magical realm, he could see the haughty and domineering nature of the nine silent clans.
Just like the Desolate World tribe, who labeled those willing to submit as slaves and violently killed those who resisted, such actions couldn't be considered just.
For the nine silent clans, the Hall of Deicide was seen as evil invaders, but for the Hall of Deicide, the nine silent clans were seen as nine tyrants dominating the world through force.
They even controlled the gates to their cultivation, preventing them from reaching higher levels, forcing them to rebel.
Therefore, right and wrong in war are relative, depending on which side you are on.
Since Jiang Yun chose the Nine Silent Clans, he had to toughen up now.
Apart from Jiang Yun, many others had not joined the great war.
For example, the sacred items of the Five Great Clans, like Tianluo and Huang Junyan!
The sacred items of the Five Great Clans were like ultimate weapons, not just for attacking, but for deterrence.
After all, once any sacred item was fully activated, the destructive power it caused was absolutely catastrophic, too powerful to distinguish friend from foe, so neither side dared to act recklessly until the very end.
But as soon as one side activated a sacred item, the other side would definitely strike back immediately.
As the commander-in-chief of the Three Great Clans in this battle, Tianluo's task was to control the actions of six million cultivators.
So he didn't need to be on the battlefield himself, instead he stood in the air, looking down at the fight below, giving out orders one after another.
Around him were over a hundred people from three different tribes, each relaying his orders to the various squads on the battlefield through jade slips, flags, and other means.
This made Jiang Yun admire Tianluo even more, even feeling that Tianluo waking up before the big battle and threatening him actually helped him in a way.
Trying to direct the actions of six million cultivators at the same time, he definitely couldn't do it himself, and even if he could, mistakes would surely happen in the busyness.
In such a big battle, even a small mistake would cost the lives of hundreds of people.
However, Tianluo was calm and relaxed, effortlessly issuing orders like flowing water from his mouth, clearly handling the big battle with ease.
Naturally, this was also related to Tianluo awakening to his true identity.
If it were Elder Huang, even with all his experience in battles and tough demeanor, he could never be as calm and composed as Tianluo.
The saying "an onlooker sees clearly" applied to Tianluo, regardless of his Elder Huang status, he was actually an outsider; even if the Desolate World tribe perished completely, he wouldn't feel any sorrow.
Therefore, from the perspective of an onlooker, and with no pressure, he felt more comfortable commanding the battle.
As for Huang Junyan, he only stared at the black palace in the sky.
Clearly, his target was only the Taoist Lord!
He definitely wouldn't rush towards the palace to confront the Taoist Lord, who knows what defenses are inside.
If the Taoist Lord doesn't show up, he won't make a move, but as soon as the Taoist Lord appears, he will naturally approach him first, anyway he doesn't need to worry about the war below.
On the side of the Hall of Deicide, there were also many people who did not join the war. Although Jiang Yun noticed them, he didn't recognize them, so after just a glance, he looked away.
After quietly watching for a moment, Jiang Yun's gaze also turned to the Hall of Deicide in the sky, muttering to himself, "The opposing Taoist Lord, mysterious commander, and Demon Refiner, these three powerful individuals have not appeared!"
"However, aside from the Demon Refiner who hasn't arrived for some reason, the Taoist Lord and the mysterious commander should be inside the palace, relaying orders through communication!"
Although the Hall of Deicide's army seemed chaotic in movement, their offense and defense actually followed a certain pattern, indicating someone was secretly directing them.
The person giving orders must be the mysterious leader!
Plus, he is hiding inside the Hall of Deicide, making it much safer.
To kill him, first you need to defeat the eighteen black dragons, then break through the defenses of the Hall of Deicide, and maybe even face the Taoist Lord in the end.
To win a big battle like this, the best way is to kill the enemy leader.
If the leader dies, the followers will be left without direction. Even if others step up to take the leader's place, any delay could have deadly consequences.
So, besides helping Elder Huang deliver orders, the one hundred members of the three clans beside him are also important for protecting him. Jiang Yun even spots Huang One among them!
"We must find a way to force the mysterious leader of the Hall of Deicide to come out and then kill him."
"Since you refuse to show yourselves, we'll take this chance to weaken your strength. When you're weakened, you'll have to come out!"
Thinking about this, Jiang Yun spoke in a serious tone, "Ezheng!"
"Here!"
Ezheng and his friends were eager to join the battle when they saw their comrades already fighting bravely.
Jiang Yun kept quiet, making them hesitant to act. When they heard Jiang Yun's voice, Ezheng immediately responded.
"For now, follow Huang Yu's lead, join the battle, act freely, but prioritize your own safety! I will find you later!"
Upon hearing Jiang Yun's command, Ezheng and the others were surprised and asked, "What about you, sir?"
"I will also act independently!"
Chapter 1003: Reinforcements Arrive
As Jiang Yun's words fell, he stood up on the skyship and vanished with a single step.
Although Jiang Yun could lead his ten thousand Desolate Soldiers into battle as a surprise force, it would not have a significant impact.
After all, this is not a simple battle of attack and defense, but a battle of life and death.
Even if he personally controls the actions of ten thousand people, it is impossible for these ten thousand Desolate Soldiers to kill millions of people like during the Military Merit Competition.
Despite Jiang Yun's experience in battles, he prefers to be alone.
Especially now, he doesn't need to follow anyone's orders and isn't noticed by the enemy. This is a great opportunity for him to improve himself.
However, he also knows that his personal strength is almost insignificant in such a big battle. His goal is clear - to rescue and find opponents of equal strength.
Even though there are dozens of experts at the Human Dao Isomorphism level in this great battle, they are still a minority.
There are not more than a hundred thousand experts above the Sky Blessed Realm!
The vast majority of cultivators have cultivation levels below the Sky Blessed Realm.
With Jiang Yun's current strength, it would not be fair for him to only target cultivators below the Sky Blessed Realm.
After Jiang Yun left, Huang Yu naturally led Ezheng and the others to leave the skyship and rush towards the ground.
Jiang Yun's figure was very fast, and in an instant, he had disappeared into the battlefield.
Although the powerful divine sense did not cover the entire battlefield, everything within a radius of tens of thousands of feet was clearly known to him.
The sight made him very pleased and proud.
The Nine Blood Chain Array set up by the three clans displayed a tremendous power.
Especially the Desolate World tribe army, who almost engraved the operation method of this formation in their bones, combined with their special ability of the Desolate Mark, allowed them to face the enemy not outnumbered.
