Chapter 2264 - 2263: The Foundations of the Four Great Dao Academies
Time swiftly passed, and another half a year quietly slipped by.
While Su Han was cultivating, billions of acres of land outside saw continuous battles between Extraterritorial Demons and humans.
A large amount of blood, whether red or green, painted the ground.
Some land was directly shattered under the thunderous clash.
The void was constantly torn apart, only to rapidly heal again, followed by being torn apart once more, thus cycling endlessly...
War is undoubtedly extremely cruel.
Compared to this moment, wars among humans are insignificant.
...
Many forces retreated step by step.
Extraterritorial Demons pressed forward relentlessly!
Within half a year, the nine hundred billion miles of territory lost fifty billion miles, leaving only eight hundred fifty billion miles.
One cannot claim that the fifty billion miles are destroyed; although in disarray, they still exist, but...
They have already been occupied by Extraterritorial Demons!
Countless humans gritted their teeth, wishing to eradicate all the Extraterritorial Demons.
In their hearts, anger surged, yet it was filled with infinite sorrow.
The Seventy-Two Sects have deployed all their foundations.
Various powerful beings in the Heavenly Emperor Realm were distributed in all locations, guarding firmly, even the Deputy Sect Master and Sect Master-level experts have been dispatched.
The Nine Factions also sent out most of their Heavenly Emperor Realm forces.
But everyone knows that within some of the sects in the Nine Factions, there surely exist Sub-Immortal level experts of the caliber of a Dark Sorcerer Supreme, but they have not shown themselves as it is not yet the final moment.
As for the Three Teachings, besides the Dark Sorcerer Supreme, Great Emperor Yushuang, and Wind Bell Battle Sovereign, no other Sub-Immortal level experts have appeared.
Yet compared to humans, the ten heads of Eighth Level Extraterritorial Demons, comparable to Sub-Immortal level experts, are overwhelming!!!
The pressure they exert on the three, including the Dark Sorcerer Supreme, is undoubtedly enormous.
Their survival until now is because these ten heads of Eighth Level Extraterritorial Demons have remained scattered, never attacking together.
If it were ten against three, how could they withstand it?
The Fire Demon Holy Emperor and Emperor of Jinling have each returned to their respective academies and have not appeared again.
Otherwise, with their presence, the pressure on the Dark Sorcerer Supreme and others would be much reduced.
The number of cultivators on this billion acres of land has seen losses of over ten billion within a short span of a year and a half.
And the Extraterritorial Demons they have slain are countless.
However, in terms of numbers, how can humans compare to Extraterritorial Demons?
Even if all these people were exhausted, there would still be plenty of Extraterritorial Demons!
...
As another half a year passed, when the amount of land reduced to just eight hundred billion miles—
The Four Great Dao Academies finally couldn’t hold back and took action once more.
The Emperor of Jinling and Fire Demon Holy Emperor were the first to appear.
Next came two other Sub-Immortal level experts—Divine Lord Cloud Sea, Daoist Tianyi!
The Four Great Dao Academies have always been extremely mysterious presences within various Star Regions.
Even the universe’s foremost power, the Starry Alliance, does not dare to rashly provoke them.
This time, the foundation deployed by the Four Great Dao Academies shocked the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects to their core!
Besides the four already mentioned, they sent out thirty-two Heavenly Emperor Realm experts!
On average, each academy dispatched eight Heavenly Emperor Realm experts!!!
Beneath the Heavenly Emperor Realm, they deployed eighty Dao Sovereign Realm super powerhouses and over a thousand Fusion Realm mighty beings, countless all the way down to the Divine Sea Realm and below...
The Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects have always held a skeptical attitude towards the Four Great Dao Academies.
This time, they finally realized the power of the Four Great Dao Academies.
Their involvement was like a tempest, cutting directly into the group of Extraterritorial Demons and launching a devastating offensive.
Their methods were never before conceived by others, each strike capable of world annihilation.
Even those in the Spirit Transformation Realm had the battle power to suppress others of the same level.
The pinnacle forces of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects finally gained a moment to breathe.
The ten heads of Eighth Level Extraterritorial Demons were temporarily forced back, along with other Extraterritorial Demons blocked within certain limits.
...
Within the city of Qing Emperor Sect, in a certain hall.
The hall was filled with nearly a thousand people.
Any random individual standing here would be a famous, formidable super stronger of the Lower-Class Star Region!
These individuals were not all from Qing Emperor Sect; strength houses from the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, Seventy-Two Sects, and Four Great Dao Academies were also present.
Here, there was no main seat of honor; even though this place belonged to Qing Emperor Sect, there was no sense of hierarchy.
Amid a silence, a middle-aged man dressed in white clothes embroidered with Bagua started to speak.
He was from Taihang Academy, one of the Four Great Dao Academies.
Moreover, he was a Heavenly Emperor Realm expert!
His name was Song Jiyu!
"Those ten heads of Eighth Level Extraterritorial Demons have been temporarily held back by Divine Sovereign and others outside, but this can’t be a long-term strategy."
Song Jiyu scanned across everyone and stated, "The Four Great Dao Academies have never engaged in any disputes; even if the Lower-Class Star Region truly faces destruction, we have ways to enter the Middle-Class Star Region."
"This is your problem, and you should find solutions yourselves. If you continue to rely solely on the Four Great Dao Academies without mobilizing your stored foundations, then I must tell you, you’re thinking too much."
Upon hearing this, others frowned.
They were all occupied with their own calculations.
For instance, in the Nine Factions, do they not have Sub-Immortal level experts? Since they do, why haven’t they revealed themselves until now?
Because they are afraid!
Supreme experts of this level are the soul of a sect; without them, it’s equivalent to losing their soul, leaving the sect open to predation by anyone!
Every force is calculating.
Believing there must be a survival chance for humanity, they preserve strength, letting others battle. Once the Extraterritorial Demons are entirely eliminated, they rely on these foundations to reshuffle the deck, allowing their sect to leap forward as one of the top powers in the Lower-Class Star Region!
Even the Three Teachings engage in deceit and competition continually.
Uniting now in the fight against Extraterritorial Demons, deep down, they wish for the other two teachings to be destroyed, making theirs the sole sect in the Lower-Class Star Region, besides the Starry Alliance and the Four Great Dao Academies, the strongest force!
This is why those Sub-Immortal level experts haven’t shown themselves yet.
If they do, and meet the fate of Bright Moon Tai Emperor or Thousand Leaves Divine Mother who perished, then after the Extraterritorial Demons are destroyed, what would their sect rely on to establish itself?
Being spared from obliteration would be fortunate!
