Wu Shattered Star River

God and Demon Battlefield, Cloud Sea City!

A fierce battle raged outside the city. Both sides mobilized millions of troops to fight in the wilderness outside the city.

The leaders on both sides were at the King-level. Each side had four King-level combatants, with three King-levels fighting each other and one King-level directing from behind.

In reality, there wasn't much command to speak of. Ordinary soldiers from both sides clashed together in a fierce battle.

Having fought each other for many years, the two sides were mortal enemies. They were especially hostile upon meeting, using all sorts of methods to kill their opponents as quickly as possible.

After more than a dozen hours of bitter fighting, both sides had suffered over two hundred thousand casualties. Then, the commanders of both sides sounded the retreat.

With too many killed in action, the morale of the soldiers on both sides had dropped sharply. In any case, the battle wasn't going to be decided in a single day. It was better to let these soldiers retreat to rest and recuperate before continuing the battle later.

After fighting for more than a year, the soldiers on both sides were somewhat weary. If the Demon Ancestor didn't make a move at the Emperor-level, it would be impossible to determine a victor with just ordinary soldiers.

This was because the ordinary troops of the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court were almost endless, with too many realms. If they were really all mobilized, each side could easily mobilize tens of billions of troops.

Therefore, the real victory or defeat of the battle depended on the battles between the strong.

For example, if the Demon Ancestor led a group of great demons to kill the Jade Emperor, the Ziwei Emperor, and the Changsheng Emperor, then the Heavenly Court would definitely collapse, and no one could stop it.

The Demon Ancestor did not arrange for the Emperor-level to take action, not because he was afraid of too many casualties at the Emperor-level, but because... the God Race had not taken action yet.

Although the God Race had mobilized a large army and powerful individuals to deter outside Beidou City, they had not taken action.

The Demon Ancestor wasn't stupid. The God Race was clearly trying to take advantage of the situation, waiting for the Demon Race and the Heavenly Court to fight to the death before coming to reap the benefits.

Since the Demon Race didn't send out Emperor-levels, the Heavenly Court naturally wouldn't mobilize their Emperor-levels either. The war between the two sides could only be maintained at the level of low-level soldiers.

The Demon Ancestor was in a bit of an awkward position. After all, he had initiated the war this time. If he were to call it off just like that, he would lose a lot of face and could only continue the battle.

At the same time, he sent a great demon to negotiate with the God Race, wanting to agree on both sides sending out Emperor-level troops together.

But...

The feedback from the God Race was that the God Lord was in seclusion, and without the God Lord's order, they couldn't take action for the time being.

After receiving the news, the Demon Ancestor cursed loudly. The God Lord's seclusion was a load of crap; he was clearly just trying to watch the fire from the other side of the river.

The Demon Ancestor had already been put on the spot, and a great battle was inevitable in the end. The God Lord had seen this point clearly. Anyway, he would just drag it out and watch the show. If there was no good opportunity, he wouldn't take action. The God Race had no losses anyway.

There was no progress on the Blood Wheel side. After Jiang Hen, Xue Xun, and Xue Yao entered, there was no movement. Fortunately, the soul tablets of Xue Xun and Xue Yao had not broken, which made the Demon Ancestor feel a little relieved.

This battle was lively, but in fact, the Heavenly Court and the Ancient God Star Region did not suffer too many losses. On the contrary, the Demon Race suffered a lot.

Tian Tuo, Tian Yao, and Gu Yindan had ambushed several Emperor-levels of the Demon Race, and Tian Yuan Jiang Han had wreaked havoc in the Demon Race's realm, which not only damaged the Demon Race's strength but also caused them to lose face.

"Mobilize several hundred million more troops and attack five cities at the same time to see if Zhang Bairen can afford it!"

The Demon Ancestor issued the order. The main force on their side was the soldiers of the various races under his command, while the main force on the Heavenly Court's side was the Human Race, with relatively few troops from the various races under their command.

The Demon Ancestor didn't care at all about the deaths and injuries of the soldiers of the tribes under his command. Anyway, they were competing in attrition to see who could afford it.

The Demon Ancestor increased the intensity of the attack, firstly to increase the consumption on the Heavenly Court's side to see if the Jade Emperor would yield. The other was to create opportunities to see if the God Race would enter the fray.

A month later, the war began to escalate.

The Demon Ancestor mobilized some Emperor-levels and a large number of troops to press towards the three cities of Snow Mountain, Qinghe, and Moon Lake.

The Heavenly Court detected the movement and immediately mobilized troops and generals. The prepared reserve team immediately took over. At the same time, more than a dozen Emperor-levels were mobilized, and the Heavenly Emperor dispatched two more.

An even more intense bloody battle began. Every day, countless soldiers fought and killed each other on the God and Demon Battlefield. Every day, countless soldiers died tragically, and countless remnants of souls dissipated in the heavens and earth.

...

Buddha Light City.

The sound of wooden fish and chanting scriptures in the city has become louder and louder during this period.

Because a large number of soldiers died and countless remnants of souls scattered on the God and Demon Battlefield could not rest in peace, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall had mobilized many more monks to Buddha Light City.

Many monks had no place to sit, so they lined up outside the city, chanting scriptures day and night to save the dead.

Buddha Light City was filled with golden light, and the sound of Brahma was vast, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

As long as there were some cultivators with combat power, they could feel countless soul powers pouring into Buddha Light City from all directions.

Those were all unconscious remnants of souls that had died on the God and Demon Battlefield, all lonely ghosts.

Although no one knew whether they could be reincarnated, the Buddhist sect's salvation of the dead gave those lonely ghosts a place to rest, which was always a good thing.

Because of Buddha Light City, the low-level warriors under the three major forces had a good impression of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

After all, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall was doing these things without asking for anything in return; it was accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Moreover, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall did not attack externally and valued harmony.

...

The outside war was fierce, but the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall was very peaceful. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall not only had no external wars, but also no internal wars.

All races believed in Buddhism, and Lingshan fully suppressed them. If there were any conflicts, the Bodhisattva would come down directly to mediate, and basically, they could be resolved.

Therefore, the ordinary people of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall were very happy, but for those ambitious young people, there was a lack of channels for advancement.

Because top-level resources were monopolized by large clans and occupied by Lingshan. Without resources, no matter how good the aptitude, it would be difficult to improve.

For example, the Naga Dojo.

In this top-level treasure land, in addition to the elites of the Naga tribe, Lingshan had only a small number of places each year. Ordinary small clan elites had no chance to enter the Naga Dojo to cultivate.

Jiang Han was an exception!

Jiang Han forcibly broke into the Naga Dojo and obtained the opportunity to cultivate there for ten years.

After cultivating for a period of time, Jiang Han discovered that this place was indeed a treasure land.

He felt that it was much smoother to deduce Stellar Explosion here. The broken laws here contained endless treasures and countless principles of heaven and earth. While comprehending Stellar Explosion, he could draw on some of the principles here to make the deduction smoother.

It was twice the result with half the effort!

He comprehended here for a period of time and felt that the progress was rapid. He was confident that he could comprehend Stellar Explosion to the entry level in a year and a half.

Cultivation has no years, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Nalili went back once and recently returned to the dojo to cultivate. She mainly came to accompany Xuanji and wanted to get closer to Xuanji.

This woman, who was known as the First Holy Nun of Buddhism, was very popular with the higher-ups of Buddhism, who believed that she would have hope of attaining fruition in the future.

However, seeing Xuanji sitting beside Jiang Han, Nalili was inexplicably worried.

She always felt that Xuanji was going astray, that her Buddhist heart was no longer pure, and that she might go down the wrong path.

She might even be abducted by Jiang Hen's son, return to secular life, and marry.

Where was there a female disciple of Buddhism who followed a man all day long, obeyed this man's orders, and called the man her master?

Besides, Xuanji was so beautiful. Could Jiang Han, a young man full of vigor, resist? If he were to favor Xuanji one day, could Xuanji still serve the Buddha wholeheartedly?
