Chapter 2720: Arriving at the Doorstep
After several previous wars, the Guardian God suffered significant losses and has become increasingly shrewd.
Without a doubt, the Guardian God will make exhaustive preparations for the next battle. Not only will it be like last time with a relentless push to the end, but they will wholeheartedly battle against the Human Clan.
Moreover, in the Guardian Land, they will be fully fortified. It will be utterly impossible for Su Yang to bypass and sever the array again.
In such circumstances, it truly becomes a challenge to crush the Guardian God’s attack this time.
Back at the Human Race Alliance, Su Yang attended the celebration banquet prepared by those Heavenly Warriors for him. Afterwards, he returned to his room and began to ponder meticulously on countering the Guardian God.
At the same time, over at the Guardian Land, the Heavenly Sect received news of Su Yang’s breakthrough.
Upon learning Su Yang has advanced to Advanced Earth-level, the face of the Heavenly Sect turned quite unsightly.
Previously, when Su Yang advanced to Middle Level, he didn’t take it seriously, as advancing from Middle Level to High Rank typically takes a long time.
Unexpectedly, Su Yang advanced to High Rank so quickly, making him feel a sense of crisis.
"Could it be that this Su is going to become the Strongest?" a Guardian God murmured.
The Heavenly Sect turned his head and gave him a glance, saying solemnly, "It’s not that easy to become the Strongest."
"But his advancement speed is outrageously fast," another Guardian God said. "Advancing from Middle Level to High Rank in just two hundred years; even those once Strongest couldn’t achieve this!"
One of the Heavenly Sect’s confidants scoffed, "He only got such advancement speed because he received the legacy of the Buddha Venerable and the Heaven Slayer. By himself, even with two hundred more two hundred years, he would never advance to Advanced Earth-level!"
Other Guardian Gods nodded repeatedly, one Guardian God sneered, "So what if his advancement speed is fast? He’s merely a furnace for the Buddha Venerable and Heaven Slayer. Clearly, the Buddha Venerable and Heaven Slayer are using his body to recover. Once these two human Strongest return, this furnace will be useless, and what will he have left?"
"This Su dares to compare himself with our Heavenly Sect master, that’s utterly ridiculous. The Heavenly Sect master is the son of the First God and one of our Guardian God’s Strongests. What is this Su, just an abandoned furnace with no qualifications to compare with our Heavenly Sect master?"
"Indeed, no matter how fast he advances, it’s the Buddha Venerable and Heaven Slayer advancing fast, not his own capability!"
Everyone kept criticizing Su Yang endlessly.
Yet the Heavenly Sect’s expression didn’t reveal much joy. Regardless of what they said, Su Yang had advanced, which was an irrefutable fact.
"How long until our people can fully recover?" the Heavenly Sect asked the nearby Divine Servant sternly.
"Reporting, Young Master, it will take about seventy years for them to fully recover!"
"Seventy years..." The Heavenly Sect gazed at the sky and said coldly, "Is the Guardian Land ready?"
The Divine Servant said, "Master has dispatched several experts from the Immortal Palace to specifically guard the Guardian Land. They are restricted by the seal outside the Immortal Palace and cannot leave the Guardian Land. However, if anyone wants to sabotage the Guardian Land’s array in their presence, it’s entirely impossible!"
"Very good!" The Heavenly Sect nodded with satisfaction, "Without any reservations, we’ll fight out a result this time. Charge into the Nine Realms, annihilating all the human Heavenly Warriors completely. With them unable to use the array to threaten us, we have no concerns, let’s see how they turn the tables this time!"
The Divine Servant hesitated slightly and whispered, "Young Master, should we not charge like last time? This Su is cunning, shouldn’t we guard against him?"
"Hmph, being cunning depends on the situation!" The Heavenly Sect said coldly, "In the face of absolute power, any scheme is useless. Haven’t you realized? His recent strategies are all about dividing us, then defeating us one by one. If we don’t separate and all stay together, what could he do to us? Don’t forget, we are gods, our Divine Sense perceives everything. We are not mortals who can be defeated one by one; their strategies are useless!"
The Divine Servant nodded slowly, "The Young Master is right, as long as we don’t disperse, they can’t deal with us!"
The Heavenly Sect smirked coldly, "This time, I want them to experience real despair!"
Seventy years hurriedly passed, and just as Su Yang predicted, the Guardian God truly launched a full-scale invasion.
This attack is much fiercer than the last time.
The Guardian God’s intention is clear, directly heading to the Nine Realms, with all personnel concentrated together with no intention of dispersing.
Facing the Guardian God’s massive army, the human side was quickly crushed, forced to retreat repeatedly, until finally, they were driven all the way near the Nine Realms with no more room to retreat.
Led by the Heavenly Sect personally, seeing Su Yang leading the humans, his face bore a trace of a cold smile.
This time, Su Yang personally led his troops, meaning no one would lead a flanking maneuver. Actually, even if someone did, he wasn’t worried because the Guardian Land was thoroughly prepared. The humans attempting to attack the Guardian Land now is suicide, splitting the human forces, which would be even better for the Guardian God.
"Su Alliance Leader, long time no see, are you well?" The Heavenly Sect said casually, as if chatting with an old friend. But in truth, he was full of arrogance, while the humans were filled with anxiety, the contrast was clear.
Su Yang frowned, took a look at the people behind the Heavenly Sect, and said coldly, "Long time no see, Heavenly Sect master, your strength hasn’t improved at all, it’s quite disappointing!"
The Heavenly Sect’s face slightly changed; Su Yang’s remarks were truly cutting following his advancement.
After taking a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, the Heavenly Sect sneered, "It’s not easy to advance further at the Peak of Earth-level. In our realm, we’re not like low-level cultivators who can just advance easily. Alliance Leader Su, you haven’t reached this realm yet; you won’t understand. Once you do, you’ll understand then!"
Then he smiled suddenly, continuing, "But of course, provided you have the fate to live to upgrade to the Peak of Earth-level. Otherwise, you’ll never know what it’s really like!"
As he spoke, the Guardian Gods behind him burst into laughter, while the faces of the humans turned colder.
