Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

"And you, merely for the sake of your own face, have caused such great losses to the Sect, not to mention the deaths of so many disciples."

"When you made such decisions, did you ever ask if those disciples truly wished to die?"

"To put it bluntly, their deaths were all forced by you!"

Song Jiyu’s tone intensified, but he quickly regained calm: "Of course, this is merely a suggestion from me, whether to take it or not, is entirely up to you."

Everyone’s expressions were uncertain, clearly deep in thought.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."

Song Jiyu seemed to remember something, and continued, "Regarding the Kunpeng Sacred Body sold by the Phoenix Sect earlier, my Four Great Dao Academies have verified it personally, indeed it enhances flesh cultivation, moreover... apart from the flesh, even a single, the lowest-level First Level Blood Crystal can extend lifespan by three hundred years."

"What?!"

At that moment, everyone abruptly looked up!

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

"A single First Level Blood Crystal can extend lifespan by three hundred years?"

"This... Isn’t this even more terrifying than enhancing the flesh?"

"Brother Song, is this true?!"

Many eyes focused on Song Jiyu.

"I swear on the reputation of the Four Great Dao Academies that it is absolutely true."

Song Jiyu smiled faintly: "It’s a pity, just because you look down on the Phoenix Sect, thinking they wouldn’t possess such a peerless cultivation technique, leading to your decision not to purchase it, this is truly a great loss for you."

"If you had purchased the Kunpeng Sacred Body earlier, you could use Blood Crystals to enhance the flesh. Like the Giant Spirit Sect, which primarily cultivates the body, they likely wouldn’t have a cultivation technique comparable to the Kunpeng Sacred Body, regarded as a Supreme Treasure, right?"

The Giant Spirit Sect’s robust middle-aged man was already frozen there.

His heart was filled with regret!

Before this, even with the personal endorsement from the Seven-Colored Saint of Law, these sects merely thought that the Seven-Colored Saint of Law was Su Han’s sister, purchasing it as a favor to Xiang’er.

Indeed, the effect to enhance flesh battle power was present, but they had never focused on whether there was an increase in lifespan.

Because they had never considered this aspect!

Until this moment, after Song Jiyu’s explanation, they were finally convinced.

Yet, realizing now is too late!

The Kunpeng Sacred Body... the Phoenix Sect has stopped selling!

"Damn it!!"

The middle-aged man of the Giant Spirit Sect gritted his teeth.

As a sect primarily cultivating the body, if the Giant Spirit Sect had purchased the Kunpeng Sacred Body earlier for their disciples to cultivate, what great gains would have been achieved by now?

"Everyone, do not think that the Phoenix Sect is an ordinary sect, otherwise you will surely regret it in the future."

Song Jiyu gave everyone a deep look, and then continued, "Alright, time isn’t meant to be wasted, my Four Great Dao Academies have helped as much as we could, what happens in the future... you all must handle on your own."

"And the Starry Alliance!"

Just as Song Jiyu was about to leave, someone suddenly remarked, "Even if the Four Great Dao Academies don’t intervene, the Starry Alliance will absolutely not stand idly by while the Lower-Class Star Region is destroyed."

"The Starry Alliance? Hahahahaha..."

Song Jiyu laughed aloud, as if hearing the funniest joke in the world.

"What are you laughing at?" The person asked.

"I’m laughing at your ignorance!"

Song Jiyu said: "Do you believe that even if the Starry Alliance abandons the Lower-Class Star Region, they wouldn’t let those in the Lower-Class Star Region perish at the hands of Extraterritorial Demons?"

"You are also a Sect Master, yet in this situation, you only think of others to help?"

"Don’t assume that if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to bear it. I’m telling you all, in the Lower-Class Star Region, you are those tallest among your group!"

"Two paths, one leading to safe territory, another is to continue fighting, whichever you choose is up to you!"

After saying this, Song Jiyu said no more, and directly flashed away from the scene.

Meanwhile, the others exchanged glances, each calculating their own plans.

...

Soon, another half year’s time passed.

Since the massive invasion of Extraterritorial Demons in the Lower-Class Planetary Region, two years had already gone by.

The vast land of hundreds of billions shrank to eight hundred billion miles.

Disciples of various sects perished over 1.5 billion.

Super powerhouses in the Dao Sovereign Realm, fell over eight!

Fusion Realm experts, fell over seventy!

Though Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses were not lost, at least ten or more were seriously injured.

The number of Extraterritorial Demons outside was increasing.

Even with the joining of Divine Lord Cloud Sea and Emperor of Jinling, after adapting, the Extraterritorial Demons progressed without slowing.

The most crucial aspect is——

By the end of the third year, human losses exceeded two billion, and the vast land shrank to seven hundred billion miles, again five Eight Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons appeared!

Their appearance brought unutterable devastation to humans.

Moreover, over thirty Seventh Level Outer Realm Fiends followed!

The Four Great Dao Academies issued a voice——

"The second segment of destruction is about to arrive, everyone... manage well!"

This voice caused everyone to tremble, their expressions drastically changed!

They knew well how much destruction the first segment of destruction brought to humanity.

And now, the second segment of destruction is about to begin!

Everyone understood, once the second segment of destruction truly arrives, the number of Eight Level Outer Realm Heavenly Demons will certainly increase.

Seventh, Sixth, even Fifth and Fourth Levels would become countless.

Under such circumstances, how should one act?

Is it really as Song Jiyu said, to use all their heritage, or... to beg the Phoenix Sect, to enter that safe territory?

This is indeed a dilemma for the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects.

And while they couldn’t solve this dilemma themselves, some Loose Cultivators who joined them helped resolve this dilemma.

...

In the center, within a city belonging to Loose Cultivators, a Dao Sovereign Realm super powerhouse raised his head to gaze at the sky.

"Sect Master Su!"

This person was a middle-aged man, holding a storage ring in his hand, and said: "Three years ago, we came suddenly, it was truly out of necessity!"

"Now, I am willing to offer double Spirit Crystals, a full twenty trillion Spirit Crystals, to enter that safe territory!"

"Between me and the Phoenix Sect, there is no grievance, if our prior arrival angered Sect Master Su, I hope Sect Master Su can forgive!"

His voice was loud, seemingly afraid the Phoenix Sect wouldn’t hear, it was intermingled with Cultivation Base.

And this voice allowed those forces, and other Loose Cultivators, to hear it too.

Many people were engaged in various activities, but upon hearing these words, they paused, showing hesitation and struggle on their faces.
