Yuan's Ascension-Chapter 836: Clash Of Geniuses (3)

"Sovereign," Mu Long bowed slightly, "We've just arrived. May I inquire as to when the battle will commence? And will Wu Yuan from the eldritch world be participating?"

Wu Yuan? Many in the hall raised their eyebrows at the mention of this name, a figure who had recently risen to great prominence in the eldritch world.

"Wu Yuan will likely participate. With his talent and strength, it's impossible for him not to join the Megaverse Crossroads," Sovereign Voltari spoke slowly. "However, intelligence on his whereabouts is a closely guarded secret of the eldritch world. We cannot divine it. I cannot give you a definitive answer, but you will surely know when the great battle erupts."

Mu Long nodded lightly.

"Additionally, the great decisive battle should commence in ten years," Sovereign Voltari added.

"Ten years? Wasn't it supposed to be a hundred?" Mu Long's eyes gleamed with interest.

"A hundred years is too long."

"Ten years is sufficient for us to amass our forces and determine the victor," Sovereign Voltari explained. "Ten years should also be enough for you all to make your preparations, correct?"

"It's enough," Mu Long nodded.

He had no desire to linger in the Greenridge Macrocosm any longer than necessary. If possible, he wished to engage in battle as soon as possible and conclude this contest of providence.

The outcome? Mu Long didn't believe there was anyone from the Cang Feng Eldritch World who could stop him.

"Mu Long, there will likely be three battle lanes for this great battle, representing three major battlefields." Sovereign Voltari gestured towards the void, "Which one would you prefer?"

Whoosh~ Countless points of light coalesced, forming a massive map projection that revealed the layout of the high-level Eldritch-Immortal Battlefield.

Three distinct lanes were highlighted on the map.

There were far too many immortals and deities gathered for them all to clash in a single location. The strain would be too great.

Therefore, over countless eons, the Voltari Temple and the Cang Feng Eldritch World had long since agreed that such great decisive battles would be divided into three major battlefields.

These three battlefields were interconnected, jointly linked to the final Space Fortresses.

Whichever side had their Space Fortress breached would be declared the loser of the great decisive battle. Furthermore, powerhouses at the Astral Monarch phase and above were forbidden from participating.

The rules were simple, yet the nature of such a battle was incomparably brutal.

"It's of no concern,” Mu Long smiled. "Sovereign, how about splitting the six Fellow Daoists into three teams, each entering one of the three battlefields. I shall guard the Space Fortress. If any battlefield begins to show signs of an unfavorable outcome, I will personally step in to turn the tide."

His overwhelming confidence was clear.

"Very well," Sovereign Voltari agreed.

He respected Mu Long’s opinions. After all, given Mu Long's natural talent, he would likely stand as the Sovereign's equal in a few hundred thousand years.

Furthermore, he had full confidence in Mu Long's abilities, believing that this one man could sweep through scores of Archimmortals and Archdeities, capable of altering the course of an entire battlefield single-handedly. ȒАƝỐ฿ĘṤ

…

"What?"

"The war begins in ten years?"

"The final battle at the high-level Eldritch-Immortal Battlefield?" Wu Yuan, High Immortal Nan Yin, High Eldritch Liu Hong, High Eldritch Wu Jian, Jiang Huan, and the others all received a transmission from Sovereign Kua Chi.

A sense of urgency gripped their hearts. They had believed they had an entire century to prepare, but now only ten years remained.

Ten years? Wu Yuan furrowed his brow at first, then relaxed it. It doesn't matter. Even if I truly had a hundred years, my strength likely wouldn't improve much in that time anyway.

I'm curious to see what sort of geniuses the Voltari Temple will send to stop me. A glint of murderous intent flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes.

For tens of thousands of years, his body refiner self had remained hidden, yet the Voltari Temple still tried to assassinate him. Wu Yuan harbored a deep resentment since then. This final battle was his chance to prove himself and vent the frustration in his heart.

"Mobilize the troops."

"All troops from Camp 1 to Camp 999 will participate!"

"The core armies from each of the eight hundred eldritch nations will all converge and enter the high-level Eldritch-Immortal Battlefield."

"All Astral Monarchs skilled in troop deployment, take your positions." A series of orders were issued directly from the Cang Feng Continent to the entire eldritch world, to every eldritch nation, and every immortal continent.

"Let's go."

"The legendary great decisive battle, with billions of immortals and eldritches gathered."

"Haha, I've only ever heard about it, but never participated. It truly makes my blood churn with excitement!"

"It only takes place every hundred million years at least."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"My lifespan is nearing its end. By venturing into the battlefield, perhaps I'll gain some insights." The entire Cang Feng Eldritch World was a hive of activity.

Apart from the numerous Archimmortals and Archeldritches from the eldritch world's armies participating in battle, there were also many Archimmortals and Archeldritches scattered throughout the eight hundred eldritch nations who wished to enlist.

Some powerhouses sought to broaden their horizons, while others aimed to temper themselves. Some powerhouses, seeing no hope of a breakthrough, wanted to take a gamble.

News of a great battle reigniting between the Cang Feng Eldritch World and the Voltari Temple after more than a hundred million years spread rapidly throughout the entire macrocosm.

The reason for the battle? Very few truly knew.

Both forces made their preparations, while the other five major factions of the macrocosm looked on with keen interest.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh! A black-robed figure with a saber strapped to his back walked out of the Cang Feng Temple. It was Wu Yuan's ether body.

"Let's go." Wu Yuan took a step into the distant teleportation array, and soon arrived inside the Sovereign's temple.

At this moment, dozens of figures were already present in the temple, each exuding an extraordinary aura.

Nan Yin, Jiang Huan, and the others had already arrived.

"Wu Yuan is here."

"Wu Yuan." Everyone turned to look at Wu Yuan. Apart from the few geniuses, the rest were Astral Monarchs. Most of these Astral Monarchs had never seen Wu Yuan before, and were naturally quite curious.

"Everyone's here." Sovereign Kua Chi sat high upon his throne. "Astral Monarch Hou Qu, you and the other forty-five Astral Monarchs will be responsible for commanding the troops in the three lanes, three major battlefields."

"Yes," replied Astral Monarch Hou Qu.

Astral Monarchs couldn't participate directly in the battle, but they could command troop movements through the Cang Feng Eldritch Voidrealm.

"Wu Yuan, Nan Yin, you and the others will be the blades on the battlefield. Choose your battle lanes first," Sovereign Kua Chi said, pointing to the massive battlefield projection.

"It is crucial that you enter the battle early to inflict casualties on the Immortal Court's armies. Our advantage will only continue to widen, which is extremely important."

High Eldritch Liu Hong and High Eldritch Wu Jian exchanged glances.

Then, High Eldritch Liu Hong spoke, "Sovereign, I wish to choose the left lane."

"Sovereign, I choose the right lane," said High Eldritch Wu Jian.

Clearly, the two of them had already discussed this.

"Master, then I'll follow High Eldritch Liu Hong and choose the left route," Jiang Huan said with a smile.

"What about you two?" Sovereign Kua Chi looked at Wu Yuan and High Immortal Nan Yin.

"I'll take the middle," said High Immortal Nan Yin.

"Master, I'm considering guarding the Space Fortress first," Wu Yuan said, shaking his head slightly. "All three battle lanes are crucial. To win this war, we need to maintain an advantage on at least two of them.

I'll observe the situation. If the battle on any of the lanes becomes unfavorable, I can join the fight to turn the tide."

Suddenly, the hall fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Wu Yuan.

High Immortal Nan Yin, High Eldritch Liu Hong, High Eldritch Wu Jian, and the others all furrowed their brows.

The implication of his words was clear: his strength was so immense that even if High Eldritch Liu Hong and the others couldn't stop an enemy, he could handle it once he stepped in.

"Daoist Wu Yuan, don’t you think you're being overconfident?" High Immortal Nan Yin frowned. "If you want the middle lane, I can give it to you."

She remembered her Senior Uncle's instructions.

"No need," Wu Yuan shook his head. "I just want to win this battle."

A flash of coldness passed through High Immortal Nan Yin's eyes, but she said nothing more.

"Very well. Then it is decided as such," Sovereign Kua Chi suddenly spoke. "You four, stick to your chosen battle lanes. Wu Yuan, you'll join the fight when you deem the time is right."

Clearly, Sovereign Kua Chi had great trust in Wu Yuan.

"Yes," everyone bowed, obeying his command. After all, Sovereign Kua Chi was the true commander of this battle.

"Let's go!" Sovereign Kua Chi waved his hand, leading the numerous Astral Monarchs, as well as Wu Yuan, High Immortal Nan Yin, High Eldritch Liu Hong, and the other four, directly into a higher spatial dimension, heading towards the high-level Eldritch-Immortal Battlefield.

About a day later, Wu Yuan, High Immortal Nan Yin, and the others felt a slight spatial tremor. Before they knew it, they had already arrived in the external world.

Below them lay a majestic Space Fortress, spanning millions of li, hovered in the dimly lit outer space. It was entirely black, like an ancient primordial beast.

And in the vast space stood an army composed of Archimmortals and Archeldritch, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The dense mass of figures spread across hundreds of millions of li of outer space with the Space Fortress in the center.

"So many," High Eldritch Liu Hong exclaimed.

"Over a hundred million Archimmortals and Archeldritches, this must be at least half of the entire eldritch world's Archimmortals and Archeldritches," Jiang Huan marveled.

Although the eldritch world was vast and boundless, Archimmortals and Archeldritch had limited lifespans, living for a hundred million years at most. Their numbers were naturally limited.

Trillions of immortals and eldritches gathered, waiting silently. It was a truly spectacular scene. Just the pressure formed by their presence was enough to make one's heart tremble.

A war like this won't determine the fate of the macrocosm. Wu Yuan thought to himself. Only battles at the Sovereign level are truly decisive.

But a war like this is still awe-inspiring. Even factions as great as the eldritch world and the Voltari Temple only engage in such a conflict once every hundred million years or more. A light shone in Wu Yuan's eyes.

All these immortals, deities, and eldritch beings had gathered here to fight for their respective powers. Their battle intent soared to the heavens. Only a battle of such a scale could gather the providence of the macrocosm.

Wu Yuan's gaze reached far, and his perception extended even further. Through his spatial perception, Wu Yuan could vaguely see an equally dense mass of Archimmortals and Archdeities at the other end of the space. Their numbers were just as staggering, and at their center was another Space Fortress.

The goal of both sides was to destroy the other's Space Fortress.

The two armies, separated by a billion li, faced each other from afar. A billion li was very, very close for tens of trillions of immortals and deities engaged in battle.

"It's about to begin again."

"This time, which side will win?"

"It's hard to say." At this moment, not only were the Sovereigns and Astral Monarchs of the two great factions paying attention, powerhouses from various forces like the Eternal Sun Immortal World and the Eight Mountains Alliance were also silently observing.

They all understood that this battle would not only determine the territory of an immortal nation, but it could also potentially decide who would carry the macrocosm's providence with them to the upcoming Megaverse Crossroads.
