Chapter 266: Sacred Land Submits

Surrender!

Destruction!

The entire Taichu Sacred Land was engulfed in a deathly silence.

Even Chen Mountain did not anticipate that they would fall so swiftly.

Four Quasi-Emperors.

The Great Emperor’s Supreme Treasure.

The full foundation of the Taichu Sacred Land was mobilized, yet they still couldn’t truly suppress Gu Qingyang.

No!

Strictly speaking, it’s not that the Taichu Sacred Land couldn’t suppress Gu Qingyang, but rather, they couldn’t even hold him off for a while.

According to Chen Mountain’s plan, the Taichu Sacred Land would summon all its strength to block Gu Qingyang and await reinforcements from other Sacred Lands.

But now.

From the beginning of the battle to its end, barely half an hour had passed, and the Taichu Sacred Land had already fallen completely.

Although the only ones who made a move were Chen Mountain and others, once they were defeated, it was the end for everything.

For others, there was simply no need to act.

In front of such powerful beings, those below Quasi-Emperor level are no different from ants.

Three breaths of time.

Usually, they pass quickly.

But at this moment, for the cultivators of the Taichu Sacred Land, they seemed extremely long.

No one would think Gu Qingyang was joking, especially after the recent destruction of the Celestial Thunder Sacred Land; for him to destroy another like Taichu Sacred Land was quite normal.

The expressions of the Taichu Saint Master and Chen Mountain and others kept changing, as they wrestled with the intense struggle within their hearts.

Then.

Chen Mountain took a deep breath and asked, "If my Taichu Sacred Land surrenders, how does your esteemed self plan to proceed?"

Upon hearing this.

Gu Qingyang’s expression remained serene: "To conquer the entire Immortal Extinction Realm, then unite our forces to deal with another world, using it as a foundation to further plot the cosmic starry sky.

The cosmos is vast, the starry sky is boundless; I intend to plant the flag of the Cyan Yang Divine Court in every world!"

While his tone was calm, the content of his words caused all hearts to quake violently.

No one anticipated that this Divine Emperor harbored such lofty ambitions and capabilities.

All along.

Chen Mountain and others believed that the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s goal was merely to dominate the Immortal Extinction Realm.

But now they realized that his target was never just the Immortal Extinction Realm.

To be precise.

The Immortal Extinction Realm was merely a stepping stone for him.

His sights were set on the cosmic starry sky.

"In the cosmic starry sky, some forces occupy entire star systems, and there are supreme beings controlling countless beings; in comparison, whether it’s the Cyan Yang Realm or the Immortal Extinction Realm, they are ultimately too small."

Gu Qingyang shook his head slightly, then looked at Chen Mountain and the others, his gaze reverting to indifference.

"Three breaths time has passed, do you have anything to say? If not, let the Taichu Sacred Land vanish into smoke and dust from today!"

As he said this.

Everyone’s heart was shaken again.

Chen Mountain and the others exchanged glances and saw some thoughts reflected in each other’s eyes, then they bowed down.

"We are willing to surrender!"

No one wants to die.

Even Quasi-Emperors are no exception.

If not, they wouldn’t choose to seal themselves in deep slumber when seeing no hope of attaining emperorship.

The main purpose was to wait for an opportune moment to emerge and fight for the Great Emperor’s chance.

Similarly.

Successive Great Emperors were unwilling to vanish; they sought the rumored Longevity Immortal, simply for eternal existence.

So.

When facing imminent doom, the surrender of the Taichu Sacred Land seemed all too natural.

"Very well, from today the Taichu Sacred Land will officially merge into the Cyan Yang Divine Court, and all forces attached to the Taichu Sacred Land shall be informed to cease resistance and fully submit to the Divine Court.

Those who resist will be shown no mercy!"

Gu Qingyang declared coldly.

To which Chen Mountain and the others had no objection.

After all, they had already surrendered to the Cyan Yang Divine Court, so what came next mattered little.

Afterward.

Gu Qingyang went to the treasury of the Taichu Sacred Land, replicating all of its secret techniques.

However.

Since the Taichu Sacred Land had surrendered, Gu Qingyang did not obliterate it entirely. Although he replicated its main Great Emperor’s ultimate skill, he did not place it in the Divine Kingdom store.

As for the remaining secret techniques, naturally, they appeared in the Divine Kingdom store.

...

"Whoa, did you guys notice, the Divine Kingdom store now has many more secret techniques available."

"The Taichu Body Refining Chapter, that seems to be from the Taichu Sacred Land!"

"It really is from the Taichu Sacred Land, does that mean the Divine Emperor has destroyed it?"

"No way, no way, he just destroyed the Celestial Thunder Sacred Land, right? Not even a day has passed, and now Taichu Sacred Land might be gone too?"

"The Divine Emperor is mighty and domineering!"

"Yes, yes, yes, this battle is destined for us..."

When a large number of secret techniques from the Taichu Sacred Land appeared in the Divine Kingdom store, many people were ecstatic.

Now that the Cyan Yang Divine Court is fully at war with the Immortal Extinction Realm, cultivators from all sides are in constant conflict.

However.

From the start of the war to now, it has not even been a day, and the secret techniques from two major Sacred Lands have been fully displayed in the Divine Kingdom chat group, revealing much.

Yet.

There were some undercover people in the Taichu Sacred Land who revealed the truth.

"Don’t think anymore, I’m at the scene, the Taichu Sacred Land wasn’t destroyed, they merely surrendered to the Divine Emperor."

"I’m also at the scene, I can only say the Divine Emperor is amazing, suppressing four Quasi-Emperors of the eighth rank single-handedly, forcing Taichu Sacred Land to bow."

"Wow, brother, are you also undercover at Taichu Sacred Land?"

"Damn, so many of us here?"

"No joke, since the Taichu Sacred Land has surrendered, how far can the surrender of other Sacred Lands be?"

With these words.

The chat direction in the Divine Kingdom chat group began to shift to other topics.

...

"The Taichu Sacred Land has surrendered!"

Zhang Ming looked at the messages in the Divine Kingdom chat group and felt secretly relieved.

He had once joined the Taichu Sacred Land for a time, so to say there was no attachment at all would be a lie.

However.

In the face of the greater good.

Zhang Ming knew how to make choices.

But if the Taichu Sacred Land were truly destroyed, he couldn’t say it wouldn’t affect him at all.

Now that the Taichu Sacred Land has surrendered, Zhang Ming saw this as the best outcome.

In this way.

The Taichu Sacred Land doesn’t need to be destroyed, and the strength of the Cyan Yang Divine Court can be bolstered, making future suppression of the entire Immortal Extinction Realm much easier.

Thereafter.

Zhang Ming looked at the army of cultivators ahead, for this was the purpose of his journey, targeting an ancient family affiliated with the Divine Martial Dynasty.

In the Ancient Times, this family had produced Saints, though they had declined since, they still had several sixth-tier True Monarch experts guarding the place.

At this moment, Zhang Ming was leading a group of cultivators from the Dragon and Tiger Sect and a hundred thousand troops from the Divine Court to subdue this family.

Unfortunately.

The opposing side remained stubbornly unyielding.

Upon receiving news of the Taichu Sacred Land’s surrender, Zhang Ming didn’t want to waste any more time and waved his hand decisively.

"Since you persist in your futile resistance, there’s nothing more to say. Everyone listens to my command, kill!"
