Several interceptions were made, each quite strenuous. He anxiously let out a long cry.
"It's over!"
Zhang Dingbian held his spear, flicking it upwards. Azure divine light filled the void, completely cleaving the black river. With one thrust, the black river fractured. With another, it dissipated. A subsequent thrust pierced the void, shattering Chu Yao's ancient runes. Then, nothing more could be seen.
Following this, the heavens and earth rumbled with explosions!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The calm Three Thousand Dao Continent plane was suddenly engulfed by surging winds and roaring thunder. Immediately after, a torrential downpour of blood cascaded down, and a lament once again shrouded every corner of the entire plane!
The heavens and earth boomed, and blood rain poured down. This plane, which had been restless for a while, was once again plunged into turmoil. The blood rain continued for a full half-hour. Especially the countless races and beings residing in the Central Continent, all of them felt a chilling fear, trembling with unease.
The Great Dao wailed, and blood rain fell!
Five-layered Chaos Dao Venerables and above from the Eight Great Families of the Central Continent had perished. In just these past half a month, the continuous blood rain and flowing rivers of blood had already filled countless lakes and rivers in the Central Continent.
"Hun Bin and Chu Yao have perished! I believe we cannot delay this any further."
"We underestimated the Great Han Divine Dynasty. And those detestable four clans of the Wang family, they have held us back for so long!"
Within a city on the Chu family's battlefield, the grand hall held few people, only six figures. Four of them were hidden within the void, while the remaining two were the Chu family head and the Hong family head. Seeing the blood rain pouring down outside the hall, they all felt a chill run through them. The Chu family head said with immense shock.
"What the Chu family head said is correct. Four elders, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. In this battle against the Hun family, our four clans have suffered heavy losses. The Jiangzuo aristocratic family and the Hun family have been annihilated. If it's just us, it will be difficult to resist the combined assault of the Great Han Divine Dynasty and the four Wang clans!" The Hong family head, Hong Yuyang, his eyes flared, as if making a great decision. He bowed deeply towards the four elders hidden in the void and said.
"What are your opinions, the three of you?"
One of the shadowy figures spoke softly.
"We shall proceed as decided earlier. Our four clans have planned for so long, we can afford this final gamble. Execute it!"
Another shadowy figure said in a deep voice.
"You two listen carefully!"
The shadowy figure who had asked earlier turned its gaze towards the Chu family head and Hong Yuyang, its voice indifferent. "Effective immediately, select one hundred thousand outstanding disciples as seeds and hide them within the Blessed Land. All other beings shall be thrown into the Candle Immortal's Cave dwelling for blood sacrifice!"
Even though Hong Yuyang and the Chu family head had made up their minds, their bodies trembled and their faces turned instantly pale, their lips quivering upon hearing these words.
The remaining main forces of the Hong and Chu families numbered just over 2.7 million. To further secure their path to survival, they could only rely on blood sacrifice to restore the Candle Dragon's realm to its peak ahead of time. Only by sweeping across the Great Han Divine Dynasty and the four Wang clans could they become the ultimate victors. The hundred thousand outstanding disciples were the seeds for their four clans to open the path to dominating the next era.
After the four shadowy figures disappeared, a long time passed before Hong Yuyang finally raised his head and looked at the Chu family head with a cold expression.
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to comply."
"Chu family head, victory or defeat hinges on this. Carry it out as soon as possible!"
...
"The Great Dao wails!"
"Two more titans have fallen!"
"It should be Chu Yao and Hun Bin!"
"The Great Han Divine Dynasty is truly incredible. What our four clans combined could not achieve, the Great Han Divine Dynasty has accomplished in just one month, slaying four titans and overturning three territories."
"It seems that in the next step, the Great Han Divine Dynasty will launch a large-scale invasion of the Chu family's domain!"
"The fierce attacks of the Great Han Divine Dynasty have inflicted heavy losses on the four Hong clans. Do you think this might drive them to desperation!"
"Recently, many cities occupied by our four clans have been devoid of any life. Not even a single bone can be found!"
Within the void of the Chu family's battlefield, eight peak Chaos Dao Venerables from the four Wang clans sat cross-legged, exclaiming in astonishment.
"The Great Han Divine Dynasty was able to annihilate the territories of the Jiangzuo aristocratic family and three other clans, killing four peak Chaos Dao Venerables. Now, the Great Han Divine Dynasty probably won't need much effort to deal with us. Our four clans have vied with the four Hong clans for half an era, and to think..."
A man shook his head in frustration, looking at the chaotic void energy flowing around him, his eyes filled with apprehension and regret.
"The Great Han Divine Emperor's ambition is immense. His next move will surely be a full-scale invasion of the Chu family's territory. The four Hong clans might resort to desperate measures!"
An elder spoke.
"What do you mean?"
"Blood sacrifice??" a woman exclaimed in shock.
"Is there no other way for this blood sacrifice to allow the Candle Dragon to reach its peak in a short period? This matter cannot be postponed. We must launch our offensive immediately. If we are any later, the birth of the Candle Dragon will be the true calamity of this plane. A powerful being that even the Immortal Lord cannot slay, his emergence will have unpredictable consequences..."
"Give the order!"
The other great beings nodded in agreement.
...
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the hero Zhang Dingbian has slain the two peak Chaos Dao Venerables, Hun Bin and Chu Yao!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Golden Rhinoceros Legion, the Kui Niu Legion, the Rending Mountain Tapir Legion, the Taotie Legion, the Vermilion Bird Legion, the Azure Dragon Legion, and the Qilin Legion have annihilated the Hun family's territory!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, for gaining five hundred million Kill Points and one billion Qi Luck Merit Points!"
"Ding! Qi Luck Nine Cauldrons, Nine Dragon Emperor Seal, Xuanyuan Sword, and Heavenly Emperor Divine Tablet have automatically drawn half of the Qi Luck Merit Points to consolidate national fortune!"
"Ding! Host notification, remaining Kill Points are seven hundred million, remaining Qi Luck Merit Points are one billion!"
"System, deduct three hundred million Kill Points to exchange for Reincarnation Power!"
In the Hall of Heavenly Connection within the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Great Han Divine Dynasty, Yang Hao scanned the gains and then spoke.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, successfully deducted three hundred million Kill Points, successfully exchanged for thirty million Reincarnation Power!"
"Ding! Host notification, the host's current Reincarnation Power is thirty million!"
"Use Reincarnation Power to summon heroes!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, successfully deducted eight million Reincarnation Power, the system is now summoning!"
Within the Sea of Souls, Yang Hao gazed at the mysterious Reincarnation Yellow Tower. With the annihilation of the Hun family's territory and the powerful four Hong clans, only the Chu and Hong families remained. The grand net being cast across the Central Continent was gradually being drawn in. The unification war of the Three Thousand Dao Continent plane was approaching its end!
As the Three Thousand Dao Continent plane progressed step by step, and famous heroes continued to emerge, the sixth level of the Reincarnation Yellow Tower was densely engraved with golden figures, leaving only three dim silhouettes!
