Chapter 3648: The War Begins (Revised)
naturally abide by this rule!""You, the Shan Hai Sect, recruit disciples from the demon clan. I bear with your origins from the wilderness, and do not pursue this matter further. However, now you dar...The members of the Dugu family, as always, continued to go about their own business.
They were completely oblivious to the fact that a genocide targeting their family was about to unfold.
It's not that they weren't vigilant, but that they never even considered this angle.
Attacking one side of the heavens, such a thing happened last time when the Jiang family was destroyed by Jiang Qiuyang.
After that, although the destruction of small families and sects still occurred within the myriad heavens domains, no single heaven was ever destroyed again.
Although the thirteen Great Heavenly Venerables often clashed in secret, they had an unspoken agreement: minor squabbles were permitted, but any attempt to harm the followers of another Venerable was strictly forbidden.
After all, even though one party's celestial being isn't as important as the left and right arms of the Great Heavenly Venerable, it is still extremely crucial.
If a certain celestial realm under the command of a Great Heavenly Venerable were to be destroyed, then that Great Heavenly Venerable would certainly not let it go unpunished.
The consequence of relentless pursuit is revenge, obliterating the opponent's myriad heavens.
This kind of back-and-forth will eventually lead to a full-scale war between the two major forces.
And such things are something that no great celestial being would want to see.
Therefore, even though during this time, many members of the Dugu family were assassinated by mysterious experts, they never thought that anyone would dare to further attack their clan territory or dare to destroy their entire family.
However, within the Dugu family, there was one person who carried a hint of worry.
This man is the head of the Dugu family! Inside the secret realm of the Xiaoqian world, although he doesn't know why he was able to survive and he doesn't know about Jiang Qiuzhen's appearance, he still remembers what Jiang Yun said to him.
He hadn't initially taken Jiang Yun's threat seriously. However, after the incident of three major celestial realms being assassinated in succession, he immediately realized that this must be Jiang Yun orchestrating it from the shadows.
As more and more of his clan were killed, he began to worry, wondering if Jiang Yun would really be able to make good on his promise and destroy the Dugu family.
Although he might be worried, he couldn't show it at all.
After all, he is the head of the Dugu family.
If he were to wear a somber expression on his face all day, the entire family's mood would be affected.
Moreover, he also knew that even if he voiced his concerns, there was likely to be nothing but ridicule in response.
A threat from a cultivator of the Yuan Fa Jing, even if the other party was Jiang Qiu Yang's son, wanting to destroy the Dugu family was simply impossible.
Even his concerns, he said, could be twisted into excuses against him.
Any patriarch of a celestial lineage is not fixed or immutable, and who knows how many people are eyeing that position.
But just today, the Patriarch's uneasiness in his heart was growing heavier and heavier. He had a nameless premonition that something bad was about to happen to his family, so much so that he couldn't continue to practice meditation peacefully at home. Instead, he personally went to each of the family's mechanisms and patrolled locations to check for any abnormalities.
Even, in the end, he left Dugu Realm and went alone to the Heavenly Machine Disk, to see if the formation personally laid out by Zhenque Tianzun was operating properly.
The Celestial Disk, as a celestial instrument, naturally doesn't require human operation. It only needs a sufficient supply of heaven and earth stones to keep running on its own.
When the head of the Dugu family finished checking the Heavenly Machine Disk and confirmed there were no abnormalities, he finally let out a breath of relief.
As long as the Heavenly Machine Disk remains undisturbed, then even if a powerful expert arrives, or even a whole army invades, there will be nothing that happens to my family! Standing within the Heavenly Machine Disk, Patriarch Dugu chuckled to himself in self-deprecation. He was starting to become a little neurotic.
And this also made him hate Jiang Yun even more, because all of this was thanks to Jiang Yun! Looking at the dark rift in the distance, the head of the Dugu family said to himself: "Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun, besides hiding in the dark and sneakily assassinating us, what else can you do!"
"My Dugu family has millions of members. I'll let you assassinate us endlessly like this. How long will it take you to kill off every single member of my Dugu family!"
If you're truly brave, why not just come straight to my Dugu family and kill me!
As soon as his words fell, the head of the Dugu Clan let out a cold smile and prepared to turn around and return to their clan territory.
However, at that moment, his figure suddenly stopped, and his eyes widened to the extreme, staring straight at the rift ahead.
Because, in that crack of the boundary, two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air, one old and one middle-aged.
That middle-aged man's appearance, how come it looks a bit like... Jiang Yun! —At this moment, Jiang Yun and Wàng Lǎo were standing right in front of the Tianji Disk.
In this month, the Qiankun Auction House has assembled a formidable force. This includes five Heavenly Venerable powerhouses, led by Jiang Qiuge, twelve Reincarnation realm experts, and dozens of Breaker Realm masters.
However, since this battle needs to be swift and decisive, everyone naturally cannot concentrate in one location.
Each of them was led by a Heavenly Venerable expert and divided into five teams, dispersed around the Tianji Disk, hiding themselves.
On the front side, only Jiang Yun and Tie An were there.
In this battle, they also made preparations on two fronts.
If Jiang Yun's Eternal Law Seal could defeat the Heavenly Machine Disk in one fell swoop, then they would charge towards Dugu Realm from five directions simultaneously at the fastest speed, launching an attack and extermination with thunderous force.
If the Yongfa Seal cannot defeat the Heavenly Machine Disk in one fell swoop, then they will immediately turn around and leave here.
This is also what Jiang Yun requested, that everything must prioritize the safety of everyone, and absolutely cannot allow people to risk being rescued by someone arriving after a great defeat.
In addition to Dugu Jie, the sects of Eternal Peace Heaven also gathered all their masters from Hidden Heaven and concealed themselves in the shadows.
Although Yongxington's strength surpasses that of the Dugu family, they lack the Heavenly Machine Disk and therefore have overwhelming confidence in surpassing them.
However, since they have already teamed up with the Sky-reaching Auction House, with Jiang Yun as their common young master, they naturally need to advance and retreat together. So they are also waiting for news from Jiang Yun.
When Jiang Yun's side launches an attack, they will follow suit.
Inside the camp, everyone was on high alert. The spies planted by Tiannei and the Dry Heaven and Profound Earth Auction House were also ready, all waiting for news from Jiang Yun.
With war imminent, Ginger Cloud's expression became increasingly calm.
To be honest, he never thought that one day he would be able to lead so many powerful people to attack a celestial realm.
However, he also knew that this was not his own ability, but the wealth left to him by his father.
Compared to Ginger Cloud's calmness, Tie An standing beside him was a little nervous.
Although he was a powerful Tianzun, his life and time were basically wasted in the ancestral hall of his own family. He had hardly experienced any major storms, let alone attacking and destroying an entire universe like this.
However, despite his nervousness, he showed no fear whatsoever.
He was running out of time, he had come prepared to die.
And the reason he stood beside Jiang Yun was, of course, to protect her! While Tie Rumen's revenge was a priority, he cared more about Jiang Yun's safety than his hatred.
If Jiang Yun fails, he will do everything in his power to take Jiang Yun away immediately.
After staring intently at the Celestial Mechanisms Disk for a long time, Jiang Yun softly spoke, "Ancestor, I've begun!"
Tie An nodded lightly, preparing to strike.
"Buzz!"
As Jiang Yun's voice fell, the Eternal Dharma Seal had already shot out from his body.
In the dark rift, the light emanating from the Eternal Seal stood out distinctly.
Especially its size, after separating from the body of Ginger Cloud, began to expand rapidly.
In an instant, it transformed into a vast expanse spanning millions of miles, like a sudden bright sky appearing in the midst of darkness. It was filled with radiance and hatred, hurtling towards the Heavenly Machine Disk! The battle had begun!t the secrets of Heaven Beyond Heaven. Although he didn't know as much as Leng Yichen, he still knew quite a bit, so he naturally understood the importance of Heaven Beyond Heaven and that many people...
