Chapter 244
C244 – The War Began
Loong Ling responded sharply without any courtesy.
She saw no further need for politeness.
Chen Qingyun’s face darkened further, unable to deny her accusations because they were accurate.
Had the Invincible Dragon God been present, they would have hesitated to act.
Yet, the Invincible Dragon God was absent from the Dragon God Temple.
“Enough of this nonsense. You and that youngster, Loong Chen, invaded the Qingyun Dao Temple and slew my direct heir, Chen Jingtian. I will have my vengeance today!” Chen Qingtian declared furiously.
Chen Qingtian’s rage caused his power to surge, making the very skies and earth quake.
The protective formation around the Dragon God Temple itself vibrated with the force of his anger.
Chen Qingtian, a seasoned Emperor Level warrior, had ascended to this rank a century ago and reached the peak of this level decades later.
He had not yet advanced to a higher realm, but his abilities were profoundly established.
Both at the peak of the Emperor Level, Loong Ling felt slightly less capable than Chen Qingyun.
“Everyone, let’s destroy the Dragon God Temple. The spoils will be shared among all of us!” Chen Qingtian bellowed.
This call to arms visibly altered the expressions of the leaders from the other four major powers.
While they had minor grievances with the Dragon God Temple, their issues were relatively minor.
Their coalition against the Dragon God Temple was primarily spurred by Chen Qingyun’s influence, driven by the prospect of dividing its vast resources.
The Dragon God Temple, being the foremost authority among the human factions, possessed extensive resources and numerous valuables.
Receiving a portion of these riches would be a significant gain for any quasi-super power.
This opportunity could potentially elevate them to the status of a super power almost immediately.
“Kill!”
The heads of the four near-superpower groups simultaneously raised their voices.
Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted as a heavy air of oppression enveloped the entire ancient Yandu city.
A significant battle loomed. It featured the coalition of the five major forces, spearheaded by the Green Cloud Temple, against the top power of the human race, the Dragon God Temple. The confrontation would soon reveal which was the superior force.
Behind the leaders of the five major forces, several hundred figures materialized, including more than thirty at the Emperor Level and over a hundred at the King Level.
Such an assembly of forces was unparalleled by any superpower.
The Dragon God Temple was no different in this regard.
While the majority of the 30 Emperor Level warriors were either Beginner or Mid Grade, their collective might was formidable.
Additionally, the commanders of these five major forces were all at least Advanced Grade Emperor Level warriors, with figures like Daoist priest Qingyun and Chen Qingyun among the top five human experts.
“Kill!”
Chen Qingyun, wearing an expression of stern coldness, commanded, and immediately, the skies brimmed with a palpable intent to kill.
The very clouds appeared to have been cleaved by myriad swords.
Behind him, the amassed Emperor and King Level warriors unleashed their strongest attacks towards the Dragon God Temple using their peak combat abilities.
At that moment, the earth started to tremble.
The battlefield, once the ancient city of Yandu, was demolished into ruins.
Some inhabitants who failed to flee on time were reduced to dust. They never anticipated that what seemed the safest place would turn into the most perilous.
Every assault targeted the Hall Protection Formation, which shook violently and showed cracks.
Yet, the Hall Protection Formation managed to mend itself swiftly.
It was, after all, the legacy of the Invincible Dragon God, and it would have been surprising if it had succumbed easily.
