Chapter 716: The Situation of the World

With the White Sun Soaring Sutra, Lu Xuan should’ve been able to safely get through this period of Nirvana. Unlike in his previous life, he wouldn’t have had to find a safe place to hide.

This alone allowed him to save so much time!

Of course, Lu Xuan would’ve had to consume far more than he imagined. Even so, any kind of consumption was not a problem for him.

Time was the most precious thing!

Lu Xuan thought to himself, ‘It’s time for me to go out!’

With that thought in mind, he had instantly appeared in the outside world. By then, the blood clouds in the sky and the huge Divine Blood Fortress that he had seen in the past had long since disappeared.

The entire place was desolate and dead silent.

It seemed that there had been a huge battle, but nobody knew how it ended.

Regardless of what the outcome was, this area would’ve no longer been inhabited for a short amount of time. It would’ve been at least a decade before this place became suitable for humans to live on.

It was hard to imagine that so many creatures, both humans and monsters, had died within this dark qi.

The Divine Blood Church had left behind things that constantly refined this dark qi so that this place would not turn into a ghost land. However, it was still unsuitable for living creatures to survive for a short while.

Lu Xuan had expected this. Based on what the Divine Blood Church had already done, this was to be expected. Also, this was most likely not the first time this had happened; as they must have spent quite a while to prepare this.

Lu Xuan stomped his foot and rose from the ground like a cannonball, instantly disappearing into the sky.

Right now, Lu Xuan had used all his energy to strengthen his physical body and quench his flesh.

Based on the quality of his physical body, it was still very fast despite there being no Spiritual Aether. One jump allowed him to travel hundreds of meters away.

A moment later, he disappeared into the sky.

—————–

Tianxiong City, located in the middle of the Holy Sun Continent, was a super city with a population of more than 10 million people. It was also a transportation hub connecting the northern and southern halves of the Holy Sun Continent.

Normally, countless people would’ve been coming and going as they pleased. Recently, however, there had been even more people coming and going. Many more high-ranked cultivators could’ve been seen among them.

They were all here for the big battle a month ago at the heart of the Divine Blood Church.

That battle was very shocking!

The Divine Blood Church could’ve been considered the top sect that cultivated the demonic path. As for the people who had torn apart the space and forced their way into the heart of the Divine Blood Church, it was none other than the Immemorial Path, the top virtuous sect. They were also considered the top sect in the world.

The Holy Sun Continent was basically split into forces of good and evil. The Divine Blood Church and the Immemorial Path were the leaders of both sides.

Overcome with emotion, one cultivator said, “I never expected such a battle to have broken out. The Immemorial Path had been planning this out for quite some time now. Apart from those who took part in it, there had been no other news!”

Most of them did not know about this battle until now, since the news had spread all over the world.

The Divine Blood Church intended to sacrifice hundreds of millions of living beings in a region in exchange for the opportunity to let their leader, Xiang Tianfang, make a breakthrough. The Immemorial Path had received this news a long time ago, but they kept calm and did not make a move until the timing was right. Once the timing was right, they tore up the space and suddenly appeared in the heart of the Divine Blood Church.

They intended to kill Xiang Tianfang with one blow!

Both sides had predicted that this would’ve happened a long time ago, both sides were ultimately defeated and suffered heavy losses.

“The Divine Blood Church is too strong. How can ordinary people stand a chance against them? Only the Immemorial Path can suppress them. As expected of the top sect of the world!”

“Now, both sides have lost and suffered. That battle is too terrifying. More than 50 experts who were at least in the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm were killed or injured. More than 300 other experts in the Divine Transformation Realm had died during the battle, as well.”

The people could not help sucking in a cold breath upon hearing that.

Those who were in the Divine Transformation Realm were considered nothing to the Holy Sun Continent, but they were still considered to have been experts.

Even in the Divine Blood Church or a super behemoth like the Immemorial Path, those in the Divine Transformation Realm were basically considered the top experts.

Hundreds of deaths and injuries in one battle were a big deal.

However, this was normal; the battle involved the behemoths of the Divine Blood Church and Immemorial Path.

One person said, “Xiang Tianfang is slightly weaker than Xuanyangzi, but if he were to break through above the Divine Transformation Realm, then the top expert in the world may change!”

That thought made didn’t make anyone feel good.

Right now, the forces of both good and evil were balanced. The top expert in the world was currently Xuanyangzi.

Since many people could remember, Xuanyangzi had always been the top expert in the world. Compared to such a veteran, Xiang Tianfang could only be regarded as someone within a younger generation. There was an entire generation difference.

Xiang Tianfang was one of the top experts in the world. Not many people stood a chance against him.

However, Xuanyangzi was the top expert in the world. He could completely suppress Xiang Tianfang.

Many people thought about the information they received. Since Xiang Tianfang had absorbed plenty of essence and blood during that battle, his strength had skyrocketed. He was able to compete with Xuanyangzi without losing ground.

“Although that battle ended with elder Xuanyangzi as the victor, he was not able to kill Xiang Tianfang, who had escaped!”

“Yes, I also heard that Xiang Tianfang is no longer a human being, but instead a blood devil!”

“Blood devil? Isn’t that the blood god worshiped by the Divine Blood Church?” Someone immediately remembered how the Divine Blood Church received its name; they had always worshiped a kind of devil known as the blood devil.

Throughout the history of the Holy Sun Continent, these blood devils had once posed a great threat to the world and ruined countless lives.

Although the humans all rose up to defeat the blood devils, a tail was left behind. This tail was the Divine Blood Church.

historical

It had secretly developed during the battle between the humans and the blood devils. By the time everyone had realized, it was too late; the Divine Blood Church had grown into a behemoth that could compete with the Immemorial Path.

The Divine Blood Church had even absorbed a large number of evil sects that had once been suppressed by the virtuous forces such as the Immemorial Path. Over time, the Divine Blood Church had slowly developed from the work left behind by the blood devils and became a strong force.

It was just that nobody expected Xiang Tianfang to be so bold as to turn himself into a blood devil. It had to be known that the Divine Blood Church had always been adjusting the method left behind by the blood devils to make it more suitable for humans to cultivate. They had found their own way.

Now, to make a breakthrough, Xiang Tianfang had abandoned any semblance of humanity he had left in him and turned himself into a blood devil.

This method was very fierce!

One person said, “Still, it is said that he has been badly injured. The Immemorial Path sent out a notice that anyone who captures Xiang Tianfang will be rewarded with tens of millions of mid-tier spirit stones!”

However, the expressions on everyone’s faces had not changed. This was because they had long known about this. This was why so many people were gathered here.
