“Zhen Wuyang, have you considered carefully? By joining the Eternal Tower alone, you will face exclusion. Why not join the Chishui Alliance with me?” Tongtian Buddha had an urgent look on his face as he shouted. To outsiders, he appeared genuinely concerned for his friend.

Only Zhen Wuyang and Liu Ya understood that Tongtian Buddha had malicious intentions.

“Zhen Wuyang, you…” Wanderer Chishui’s thoughts were cunning. How could he not understand Tongtian Buddha’s scheme? He sighed deeply.

“Zhen Wuyang, your choice is wise. I swear, Demon Lord Fengyu, I won’t let you face death in a losing battle. When our master returns, I will introduce you to him. And your Great Si Region will also be protected by our Eternal Tower,” Demon Lord Fengyu remained pragmatic, offering Zhen Wuyang a reassuring pill.

Tongtian Buddha looked on, a mix of envy and jealousy, yet he couldn’t show it.

Unlike Zhen Wuyang, he didn’t have the freedom to choose. If he were alone, he would have chosen the Eternal Tower. Even in the present circumstances, following Demon Lord Fengyu was undoubtedly more reliable than following Wanderer Chishui.

However, he had a large group of Emperors and Grand Yan Immortals behind him. He could only join the Chishui Alliance and take advantage of the Alliance’s benefits.

Upon hearing Demon Lord Fengyu’s promise, Zhen Wuyang repeatedly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Lord Fengyu. I will be at your service in every way. ”

His words greatly pleased Demon Lord Fengyu.

Though she held great influence in the Eternal Tower, the several top-tier Emperors under her command also held significant power. She couldn’t suppress them. Now, with Zhen Wuyang joining, he naturally wanted to pull him into her inner circle.

Zhen Wuyang moved directly to the side of the Eternal Tower, positioning himself near Demon Lord Fengyu. He lagged half a step behind the other top-tier Emperors to show his respect.

The veteran powerhouses of the Eternal Tower, although not knowxing much about Zhen Wuyang, recognized him as someone discerning. They all smiled and congratulated him, expressing their good wishes.

“Alliance Leader Chishui, I am willing to bring my strong warriors under the alliance’s banner!” Tongtian Buddha’s face was earnest as he led his people into the grand hall of the Chishui Alliance.

This outcome didn’t surprise anyone. Tongtian was indeed suitable for joining the Chishui Alliance. Besides, when Zhen Wuyang mentioned joining the Eternal Tower, Tongtian had already made his stance clear.

The powerful beings in the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm had no choice but to follow him. Even if they had a choice, their strength was so weak that no one would consider them. It was better to follow Tongtian Buddha, enjoying the protection of a fourth-tier Emperor, at least avoiding bullying within the Chishui Alliance.

The Chishui Alliance was vast, with many powerful members. However, the top-tier experts were evenly matched. As a fourth-tier top expert, Tongtian Buddha ranked among the top three in the Chishui Alliance.

The powerful figures in the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm benefited from this alliance. Upon their recent allegiance, they were placed directly at the top of the Chishui Temple, just below a few other major dominant forces.

Despite the Tongtian Buddha possessing top-tier strength at tier 4, their subordinate forces didn’t quite match up. They were considered major powers, not quite reaching the pinnacle. This was primarily due to the formidable might of the Tongtian Buddha. Without their backing, these individuals wouldn’t have held such prominent positions.

Once these two individuals had firmly taken sides, the gazes of the others turned sharp.

“How about we kill both of them first?” Chishui suggested, looking at the bound Liu Ya and Daogong.

Demon Lord Fengyu nodded in agreement. These two inheritors of the Qishen Temple had refused to divulge any specific information about the temple. Keeping them alive was a threat. It was better to kill them now.

“You scum are unworthy of the great Qishen’s blessing. A group of shallow practitioners daring to kill me,” Daogong raved. He and Liu Ya, just like the heroes of ancient times, refused to bow to Zhen Wuyang. Now, they maintained the same attitude. Since they couldn’t obtain the blessings of the Qishen Temple, no one else should harbor such delusions either.

The brilliance of devouring the Great Dao instantly covered his entire body. Even in death, he wanted to take a few unlucky ones with him.

Boom!

A force comparable to the self-destruction of the Donglin instantly swept across the entire void.

“Enter the Eternal Tower, quickly!” Demon Lord Fengyu’s face turned pale. She hurriedly ushered some second and third-tier Emperors behind her into the Eternal Tower.

As for the fourth-tier Emperors, they had already teleported far away.

Although Daogongs self-destruction couldn’t kill them, it would injure them. Now was a critical moment in the battle for the Qishen Temple. If they got injured, the cost would far outweigh the gain.

The second and third-tier Emperors found shelter within the Eternal Tower, but the fate of the Chishui Temple’s many powerful individuals was grim.

No matter how Chishui Wanderer tried to shield them, countless powerful streams of energy surged into the Chishui Temple. They killed a large number of Grand Yan Immortals and even caused the downfall of several unlucky tier 1 Emperors.New chapters are publɪshed on Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

Several breaths later, Daogongs aura finally completely dissipated. This time, he had truly fallen. There would be no chance of revival. The primordial power of the leaning Great Dao transformed back into Yan power and returned to the universe’s source.

Learning from this experience, Wanderer Chishui and the Demon Lord Fengyu immediately charged towards Liu Ya.

“Do not force me. Do not forget, this is my Dao Arena!” shouted Liu Ya in anger. Utilizing the origin within the Great Desolate Wilderness, he broke free from the constraints. With one hand grasping the origin of the wilderness and the other holding the Dao of Desolation, he stood his ground.

Chishui hesitated for a moment. Daogong was merely an ordinary fourth-tier Emperor, while Liu Ya was at the pinnacle of the fourth-tier. Moreover, he controlled the Great Desolate Wilderness, being the Dao Ancestor of this land. If he chose to self-destruct, they would also be harmed.

“Why must you kill me? I can join any one of you, and we can negotiate,” Liu

Ya’s brows furroowed. He had already died once; he did not want to die again.

Millions of years of accumulation left no room for error.

He had given up the path of the Qishen Dao, which was the Great Devouring Dao, and instead, he controlled the Great Desolate Wilderness. He was no longer the person he was in the Ancient Era, and now, he only wanted to survive and then become stronger with the help of the Qishen Temple.

He didn’t dare dream of becoming the Universe Master; achieving the fifth-tier Emperor satisfied him. That was also the reason he abandoned the Qishen Dao.

“Oh, how do you propose we negotiate?” inquired Chishui, his interest piqued.

If Liu Ya could provide useful information, perhaps sparing him was not out of the question.

The main difference between them and Zhen               and the Tongtian

Buddha was that Liu Ya and Daogong were both inheritors of the Qishen Temple. They were reluctant to say anything. If they left them alive and they entered the Qishen Temple again and fled with it, they would be in big trouble.

They could feel the power of the Qishen Temple. If they were determined to leave, not to mention them, even a fifth-tier Emperor could not stop them.

When the meat is at your mouth, losing it would be a tremendous loss. If a fifth-tier Emperor returned later, they would have no choice but to kill them..
