"Well played," Supre Unity said indifferently.
"You always looked at these people as ants, thinking they would never dare to rebel against you," Maitreya said calmly. "But you overestimate the human spirit. No, I should say you probably never understood. They have their own goals, dreams, and pursuits. Do you really think your overwhelming power was enough for them to give these things up?"
"Ants are ants," Supre Unity replied calmly. "Without your protection, none of them dare to rebel."
"They dare," she rebutted. "It's just that you already killed those with the spirit, and these ones only needed a small boost."
"This conversation is pointless," Supre Unity added. "Don't think you've won this war."
"We will see."
Wang Wei and the entire world watched the beginning of the Buddhism-Taoism War. Specifically, this war should be called the Unity of Buddhism and Taoism against Corrupted Taoism, and that's how historians will write this war unless Supre Unity is the final victor. The first battle was an overwhelming victory.
Without Supre Unity's strength, corrupt Taoism was overwheld by the allied force. Maitreya was ruthless, forcing the first battle to last as long as possible and allowing her forces to kill as many people as possible. By the end of this fight, the Twin Sun Border beca an inhabitable area due to how much immortal blood fell on the soil. Of course, this also ant that the place beca a holy place for anyone who cultivated Blood Dao or any technique involved in Fiend Qi/Aura.
After this defeat, Taoism did two things: used a more defensive approach to this war and summoned reinforcent. The forr was quite effective as they successfully blocked the madness from these monks or the enraged Taoists who wanted to eliminate their other counterparts to ensure their prosperity and prevent future revenge.
However, the plan to receive reinforcent was not as successful. Supre Unity's target was obviously his goons — the moons. However, as soon as the summon arrived, Five Feathers and Undead Phoenix intensified their war. Ti Eater is sealed, and the manpower available is in a semi-shamble state, leaving only Shu Ren, the Earth Emperor.
He was the only one without any excuses to refuse the summon. With these reinforcents, Supre Unity was able to take a breather. However, Maitreya succeeded in her attempt to occupy and reduce his political power.
'Supre Unity's loss was too great in this fight,' Wang Wei analyzed the information. 'These overlords must have secretly taken this opportunity to weaken Taoism. I reckon they even secretly killed many monks as well.'
This war concerns not only the fate of the world but also the reshuffle of power. Everyone is waiting for the new era, and everyone wants to dominate it. Buddhism and Taoism already have an overwhelming lead, so these Overlords have already started taking asures to weaken them.
While Wang Wei was deep in thought, his communication talisman trembled. He activated it and saw a picture: a head with a look of fear, anger, and regret. He recognized this person — the leader of the Hidden Moon-Sun Sect, First Sun. Wang Wei did not hesitate to contact his ancestor.
"He's dead?"
"Yep, just as I promised."
"Is he dead dead or…"
"True death," Yan Hai convinced.
"How did you do it?"
"Many swordsn in the Sword League Path owe karma," Yan Hai explained.
"I see," Wang Wei nodded. "Was there anything weird about him?"
"Besides having a Paragon Artifact as protection, there were no anomalies."
Wang Wei frowned, thinking whether he had missed sothing. "Well, forget him for now. How are things on your side?"
"The unsealing process will not take as long as I thought. It should be done in about 2 weeks."
"That's good to hear." The two chatted briefly before ending the conversation.
'Five Feathers and Undead Phoenix's current confrontation is not enough as an excuse to reject the summon, so these two should prepare for a direct confrontation,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'The issue is whether they will fake it and wait until they are both ready for the real fight or directly fight to the death.'
Wang Wei's analysis favored the latter. These people genuinely hated each other, so even if they tried to fake it, their animosity would leak out during the confrontation, turning the fake scenario into a genuine one. So, he waited while ordering his people to protect as many mortals as possible and keeping watch on Ti Eater.
Wang Wei's prediction beca true when a battle started between these two five days later. He had his answer from their killing intent and the killing blow these two were using. So, he calmly observed that battle:
'Undead Phoenix is not as mad as the previous fight. His mode of fighting is relatively reserved — he must have a trump card he's waiting to use at the right mont.
'anwhile, Five Feather is using this fight to control her strength. Speaking of which, her karma has also drastically increased, but I haven't heard of any plague-like curse in the world. Damn it, has this woman been secretly killing mortals.'
He contacted Red Mask, asking her if she had received any news. She answered that Five Feathers had hired many Curse Masters but hadn't received any results yet.
"Find how she has so much negative karma," Wang Wei ordered. Red Maks was efficient, and she soon had the answer. Many mortals were in isolated dinsions and realms in the Eternal Ascension World, and Five Feather's target was these people.
Wang Wei exhaled to calm down: "I should have guessed animals like her only respond to painful threats. I won't make the sa mistake twice." He continued observing this war, and Wang Wei frowned as he noticed sothing else.
'These temporal fluctuations — is this woman mad?' Wang Wei thought. 'No, she's not mad but can't control her power. Good, good.' Wang Wei imdiately closed her eyes to sense these fluctuations.
…
West of the Ti Eater's Territory, Heavenly Serpent Empress Domain:
A beautiful woman with luscious purple hair with black tips sat on a throne. She wore an all-white and tight robe that revealed her ample figure. Her beauty could be described as devilish — that's how alluring she was. If Xun Junyao was the epito of beauty, this woman was the closest to the epito of sexiness.
A man sat on her lap, kissing her while muttering sweet words. "Oh, Wu Jing, you always have a way with words," the Heavenly Serpent Empress said.
"Who made his majesty so alluring," Wu Jing replied.
"I know, right?" she replied. "You can say my charm is a…" The Heavenly Serpent Empress suddenly stopped before looking at the shadow that appeared in the room.
"You must have a reason for interrupting ."
"Your majesty, we have found the target," said a woman's voice.
"Are you sure?" the Heavenly Serpent Empress asked. "It won't be like last ti with a bunch of abundant remains?"
"I have checked personally."
"Good," the Empress replied.
"Do you want to mobilize the troops?"
"No, I want to do it myself to ensure that nothing happens," Heavenly Serpent Empress replied. She glanced at Wu Jing: "I have work to do. Wait for my return, and we can continue where we left off." The Empress suddenly thought of sothing: "Tell Di Liang to wait with you."
Wu Jing's smile abated considerably after hearing these words: "Does he need to be there? Can't it be the two of us?"
"Can you handle alone?" Heavenly Serpent Empress asked.
"Alright, I'll call him."
The Empress patted his ass before standing up. She received the information from the agent. "So, that's where you, little rats, have been hiding? No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere," she muttered before focusing on the agent.
"How did you find them?" These people's hiding spots were excellent, so the Empress wanted to know how his agents found them. She had lived long enough to know when to be careful against plots and sches.
"They were gritty, Your Highness," the agent responded. "They sent people into the Twin Suns Border, probably to find the blood of the two suns, and that's how we found them."
"The two suns' blood? That makes sense," the Heavenly Serpent Empress nodded. She no longer hesitated and teleported away. She did not play around and broke through their world's barrier with force and strength.
The Empress found herself in a world full of devils — yes, not devil cultivators but authentic devils. She was not surprised by this outco and started her killing. Her hair moved under her control, killing anyone in sight. This was a one-sided massacre, and these devils could not even fight back.
"Find you, descendants of the Primogenitor Devil," the Heavenly Serpent Empress said excitedly. She finally released all her power, capturing these people as fast as possible. These devils had a peak Empyrean and several Paragon Artifacts, but they were useless before the Empress.
'I can finally put my plan into motion,' she thought before leaving this place. The Empress was in a good mood when she returned ho. She went directly to have so fun with Wu Jing and Di Liang, but these two were not enough for her excited mood, so she summoned more of her harem. Today was a day worth celebrating and indulging.
