In the resplendent purple Immortal Hall, over three hundred powerful experts from the All Clans took their seats in order according to their cultivation strength.
Naturally, seated in the highest position was the Clan Leader of the Athyst Clan!
"Everyone, the Qin Dynasty is becoming increasingly aggressive, demanding we move out of the little thousand worlds and abandon our foundation of billions of years. I wish to ask you all, do you agree?"
The Athyst Clan Leader, his face grim, asked in a cold voice.
"Are you joking? Of course, we refuse!"
"The little thousand worlds are our very foundation, established at enormous cost. How could we simply hand them over?"
"We would rather die than compromise!"
Like a stone tossed into boiling water, causing a great surge, the powerful experts of the All Clans spoke with fury, their killing intent surging, threatening to destroy everything.
The Human Clan? What are they worth?
They have been suppressed by the All Clans for several epochs!
And the Human Clan of the Red Dragon Starfield had been pushed back into the Eastern Starfield, barely clinging to survival.
The rise of the Qin Heavenly Court and its destruction of the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court indeed frightened them. But to submit and accept the commands of the Qin Heavenly Court? That was absolutely impossible.
"But the Qin Heavenly Court is powerful. How should we deal with them?"
So weaker experts from the All Clans voiced their concerns.
A single sentence instantly cald the clamorous hall. The experts frowned deeply, as if a great mountain weighed upon their hearts, an imnse burden.
Strength decides everything.
They wished to resist, but constrained by their limited strength, a head-on confrontation offered no chance of success.
"HAHA!" The Athyst Clan Leader, seated on high, declared loudly, his eyes glinting, "Everyone, do not worry! Before contacting you all, this Clan Leader had already requested a powerful expert from the Crystal Clan to descend to our realm!"
Crystal Clan!
A chill ran through everyone's hearts.
That was a powerful clan from the Fifth Heaven, overseen by Golden Immortals. Logically, if the Athyst Clan Leader could invite an expert from the Crystal Clan to intervene, it should resolve the threat from the Qin Heavenly Court, which would be a good thing. But at this mont, they felt no joy at all. If it were simply a matter of dealing with the Qin Heavenly Court, the Athyst Clan Leader would have had no need to convene this 'Clan Leaders' eting'. He definitely had other plans.
"This Clan Leader wants to ask everyone: after we resolve the crisis with the Qin Heavenly Court, with our current strength, how can we defeat the Human Clan?"
The Athyst Clan Leader scanned the crowd, his expression solemn, and he asked gravely.
The experts remained silent. This was another matter that troubled them.
When the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court existed, they rely had to pay so tribute to receive protection, without worrying about an invasion from the Sky Sword Pavilion. But now? The All Clans lack a supre expert to command them! How could they ensure they would still hold the upper hand in future struggles against the Human Clan?
"Everyone, in my opinion, none of our individual clans can restrain the Human Clan. Only by forming an alliance and uniting all our peoples can we safeguard our interests!"
At this point, the Clan Leader of the Black Mountain Tribe stood up and spoke.
His entire body was dark, as if constructed from piled stones. He had no nose or ears, only a pair of gray eyes, appearing quite simple and honest.
"The Wind Ghost Clan agrees with the Black Mountain Clan Leader's proposal!"
The Clan Leader of the Wind Ghost Clan, who was seated towards the back of the experts, ghost-like in appearance with faint Wind Laws swirling around him, rose and hurriedly said.
He looked towards the Athyst Clan Leader, flashing a fawning, sycophantic smile.
"I agree too!"
"Our clan also agrees!"
"..."
Nurous experts exchanged glances and, without much hesitation, all voiced their agreent. Among them were those who had already pledged allegiance, those seeking to curry favor with the Athyst Clan, and those who feared the Crystal Clan.
"Good! With everyone's support, the All Clans of the Red Dragon Starfield will surely achieve new heights of glory!"
The Athyst Clan Leader nodded in satisfaction, a smile touched his lips.
When he received the Qin Heavenly Court's order to expel the All Clans, he was initially filled with unease. However, upon further reflection, he realized it was also an opportunity.
There was a secret within the Athyst Clan. Three thousand years ago, his legitimate daughter went out travelling. She returned rely three years later, heavily pregnant. Under his repeated questioning, he learned that his daughter had encountered a heaven's chosen of the Crystal Clan during her travels, and they had shared so... pleasantries. Ten years later, his daughter gave birth to a son who exhibited ancestral reversion, possessing a top-tier Crystal Clan bloodline. Later, the boy displayed astonishing talent, breaking through to the late stage of Profound Immortal within a century, possessing the disposition of a heaven's chosen. He was sensed by the Crystal Clan and taken into their fold for advanced cultivation. Now, three thousand years later, his grandson had already broken through to the peak of the Taiyi Earth Immortal realm! He was just one step away from the Golden Immortal Realm. It was precisely for this reason that he dared to oppose the Qin Heavenly Court.
However, just as the Athyst Clan Leader was ecstatic, a terrifying energy fluctuation surged from outside the Crystal Little Thousand World—an unparalleled power that enveloped the cosmos.
"Quite a crowd has gathered!"
A cold, indifferent voice descended from the sky, like a frigid wind from the Ninth Abyss, chilling to the bone.
"Who goes there?!"
The Athyst Clan Leader was enraged, killing intent surfacing in his eyes. He drew his ceremonial sword and strode out of the main hall.
The nurous experts of the All Clans exchanged glances, drew their weapons, and followed closely, their icy killing intent flooding the starry sky.
Within the Crystal Little Thousand World, Athyst Clan experts erged one after another, soaring through the sky. Their terrifying auras surged to the heavens as they coldly gazed at the firmant beyond their world's barrier.
There, one hundred and eight generals stood tall, wreathed in starlight, so holding Immortal Swords, others brandishing long sabers, or raising battle spears...
"Human Clan!"
"Prepare for battle!"
Upon seeing the one hundred and eight generals of Liang Mountain, the Athyst Clan Leader's eyes flashed with a bone-chilling killing light. Without hesitation, he brandished his battle sword, unleashing a brilliant Sword Qi that swept across the cosmos.
The other powerful experts of the All Clans and the experts of the Athyst Clan simultaneously launched their attacks.
Over a thousand terrifying techniques tore through the Heavenly Universe, exuding waves of Evil Qi, causing vast swathes of the azure sky to shatter and forming terrifying storms that aid to pulverize the Liang Mountain generals.
"No nonsense, straight to battle. I like it!"
"Brothers, deploy the Heavenly Guards and Earth Sha Formation!"
Song Jiang commanded coldly.
In the next breath, one hundred and eight pillars of starlight shot into the starry heavens, like one hundred and eight stars obscuring the heavens and earth, eclipsing the sun, moon, and celestial bodies.
In the blink of an eye, the Crystal Little Thousand World was enveloped by the Heavenly Guards and Earth Sha Formation. The power of the Heavenly Guards Stars and the Earth Sha Stars ran rampant; any mountains, rivers, or cities they touched turned to dust.
"Sever!"
Song Jiang brandished his sword, and boundless starlight converged, forming a furious slash that descended.
RUMBLE!
The sky was cleaved in two. The thousands of incoming attacks shattered almost instantly upon contact, utterly disintegrating.
"Not good!"
The Athyst Clan Leader's expression flickered, and he was sent flying by the powerful backlash.
The other experts of the All Clans fared even worse; all were blasted away, their faces deathly pale as they spat mouthfuls of blood.
Weaker Martial Artists, like the Wind Ghost Clan Leader and others, directly exploded, their souls scattering.
"KILL!"
"KILL!"
"KILL..."
Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong, Li Kui, and the other generals roared, their battle intent soaring to the heavens. Wielding their war weapons, they swooped down, ready to annihilate the Athyst Clan with utmost speed.
