Chapter 749: Chapter 748: The Great War of the Immortal World
 

“This fluctuation… it’s from the Immortal World!”

In that place teeming with ghastly shadows, the Immortal Emperor Great Terror, who had been forced to hide there while being pursued by Qin Changqing, also awoke.

For over ten million years, this fellow had been silently licking his wounds here.

The previous battle had cost him too dearly.

All his underlings had been killed by Qin Changqing.

Not to mention losing the Chaos Tree, he, once an Immortal Emperor, had also been chased by Qin Changqing for tens of thousands of years.

This was a disgrace of epic proportions.

Moreover, he had lost more than half of his Forbidden Origin Force. This pained his heart immensely.

Now, someone in the Immortal World actually intended to become an Immortal Emperor!

“The time for harvest has come!”

A cold light appeared in his eyes.

Behind him, one shadow after another had already appeared.

At this time, within the Immortal World, Qin Changqing’s progress was extraordinarily swift.

Dao-comprehension Energy flooded into his body like an overwhelming torrent, propelling him forward at an astonishing speed.

“How can it be so fast!”

The Ancient Emperor was somewhat surprised.

The saints of the Three Realms were not as shocked as she was; each of them watched intently.

They had never comprehended the Great Dao.

Nor did they know what the normal speed for comprehending the Dao should be.

Now, in front of Qin Changqing, they had actually become the students.

Even the four Demon Saints were watching closely, learning from him.

What if one day they too could comprehend the Great Dao?

But the Ancient Emperor, having once been an Immortal Emperor, knew how long the process should take.

Compared to her own past experience, Qin Changqing now seemed a bit too fast.

Years went by.

The Ancient Emperor’s gaze turned in a certain direction.

It seemed empty there, but she felt that someone was already coming from that direction.

Indeed, someone was already there.

In the Chaos Sea, there were some special hidden caves, controlled by some “Great Terrors.”

These hidden caves were normally never utilized.

But now, as the time for harvest had arrived, some “Great Terrors” began to use these hidden caves to head towards the Immortal World.

However, Qin Changqing had only been on his path for fifty years at that point.

There were exceedingly few “Great Terrors” who could arrive so quickly.

This “Great Terror” was also quite powerful, having already reached the Quasi-Emperor level.

But after his arrival, he did not take action.

The Immortal World was now extremely powerful, and he alone could not do much.

So, he lay in wait, silently biding his time there.

Qin Changqing was still tirelessly making his assault.

As time went on, the fluctuations caused by Qin Changqing grew larger and larger.

“He’s about to succeed!”

More than ninety years later, a rare brilliance emerged in the gaze of the Ancient Emperor.

Qin Changqing was actually so close to success already.

He had already taken 99 steps, just one small step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor.

But even after more than a hundred years, Qin Changqing still hadn’t succeeded.

“What’s going on, is he stuck?”

The Ancient Emperor couldn’t help but worry a little.

This last step was indeed the most dangerous.

When she took this step herself, it took her three thousand years.

And she faced numerous risks during that time.

However, the Ancient Emperor quickly thought of Qin Changqing’s style of doing things.

“Could it be that he’s planning to draw those guys over before achieving success in one fell swoop? It’s just that the risk of doing so is very high.”

Thought the Ancient Emperor.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was likely the case.

Although the risks were high, if Qin Changqing really succeeded in becoming a Great Dao Saint before those “Great Terrors” arrived…

“The ‘Great Terrors’ might not come now,”

“The best time for the ‘Great Terrors’ to harvest is when someone is on the verge of becoming an Immortal Emperor.”

“At that time, an era has developed to its peak and is at its most powerful. Once the Path Enlightenment is successful, the Immortal Emperor becomes invincible, which actually turns out to be bad for the ‘Great Terrors’.”

“So now, Qin Changqing is very likely preparing to use himself as bait.”

“However, baiting like this is extremely risky. Taking the final step is already incredibly difficult; any interference from the ‘Great Terrors’ would only make it more perilous.”

“But Qin Changqing is willing to take the risk to bait the enemy, and this, the Ancient Emperor found quite admirable.”

“Indeed.”

Soon, the Ancient Emperor made a new discovery.

Qin Changqing was actually retreating.

He took several steps back, enough to confuse some of the ‘Great Terrors.’

This was truly the start of the baiting strategy.

“Truly worthy of being my man.”

A smile emerged on her face.

Time passed.

Quickly, a thousand years went by, and Qin Changqing had not yet succeeded.

Then, two thousand years passed, and Qin Changqing still had not succeeded.

But in fact, he could succeed in Path Enlightenment at any moment.

Qin Changqing was indeed baiting.

With Dao-comprehension Energy accumulated over more than ten million years, he could easily become a Great Dao Saint. Not to take this opportunity to bait would surely be a waste.

His gaze turned towards the Outer Heaven Realm.

Two thousand years later, a large number of ‘Great Terrors’ had already arrived there.

But these creatures had not yet made their move,

It seemed they were likely waiting for even more to arrive.

After a few more hundred years, finally, within the Outer Heaven Realm, a horde of demonic shadows arrived.

“Quite lively.”

In the darkness, the Immortal Emperor Great Terror sensed the ‘Great Terrors’ lurking around and revealed a ferocious grin.

Now, it was time for revenge.

“Attack.”

He summoned his strength and made the first move.

As he struck, the number of ‘Great Terrors’ in the Outer Heaven Realm increased several times more than before, and their power had increased by more than a hundredfold. They all rushed towards the Immortal World.

This catch was substantial!

With the many ‘Great Terrors’ launching themselves from the Outer Heaven Realm, the Three Realms shook for a moment.

The ‘Great Terrors’ who had arrived this time were much more powerful than the last wave.

And there were more of them.

Even though over ten million years had passed and Qin Changqing had killed more than a dozen ‘Great Terrors’, the number of ‘Great Terrors’ he had slain last time also surpassed ten.

But the number of ‘Great Terrors’ that came this time had already broken through a hundred.

These ‘Great Terrors’ stormed towards the Immortal World like a blanket that covered the sky.

Though not numerous, they truly could be described as blotting out the heavens.

Even the brilliance that the Immortal World cast towards the cosmos was completely blocked out.

“Sure enough, these creatures have come.”

The Supreme Clear Dao Master took action immediately.

Other Saints in the Immortal World also summoned their power.

In an instant, the entire Immortal World was set abuzz.

Within the Immortal World, anyone who looked up could see the terrifying sacred might released by the Saints in the High Heavens.

Although there were many ‘Great Terrors’, the Saints weren’t frightened by any of them.

The battle among the Saints in the Ancient Ruins was exceptionally hard-fought, but that was within the Chaos Sea.

Here, this was the Immortal World.

The combat power of the Saints was more than tenfold stronger here than in the Chaos Sea!

With the combined efforts of many Saints, even an Immortal Emperor could be challenged.

However, what these many Saints didn’t realize was the true terror of the enemy they were facing this time.

“Boom!”

The first to arrive was that Immortal Emperor Great Terror from the Ancient Ruins.

He didn’t utilize Forbidden Origin Force but attacked with the power of the Evil Spirit Saint.
