Chapter 72

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Primordial Heavenly Venerable sat high on his cloud bed, his eyes somewhat gloomy as he looked down at his two disciples, a surge of anger rising within him.

Lan Deng Daoist also stood to one side, his eyelids lowered, showing no emotion.

"Please calm down, Master!" Guangchengzi and Taiyi Zhenren knelt down; the oppressive aura from Primordial Heavenly Venerable made cold sweat break out on their bodies, and fear rose in their hearts.

"You two will go to the back mountain to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes!" Primordial Heavenly Venerable said coldly. "For a thousand years!"

"Yes!" Guangchengzi and the other two hurriedly responded, not daring to say more, and retreated.

Seeing Lan Deng Daoist, Primordial Heavenly Venerable couldn't help but snort coldly, then left without a word, his sleeves fluttering.

Lan Deng Daoist's eyes flickered, and he left Yuxu Palace with a calm expression.

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

"I never thought that after countless years of brotherhood, you would calculate against me like this? Why?"

The patriarch sat on his cloud bed, anger rising in his eyes, and a sense of sorrow lingering.

Everything seemed coincidental. If it weren't for Guangchengzi and the others acting rashly and provoking Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he wouldn't have been able to figure out what had happened before. Otherwise, he would have suffered a silent loss.

But now that he knew, the patriarch felt a chill in his heart.

A beam of sword light entered the hall, and the sword returned to the patriarch's hand. Duobao Daoist and Ding Yue also landed on the ground.

Duobao Daoist's face was somewhat pale, while Ding Yue was severely injured and could only lie on the ground.

"Master." Duobao Daoist greeted.

Patriarch Tongtian nodded, raised his hand, and a beam of immortal light entered Ding Yue's body, covering him and stabilizing his injuries.

The patriarch frowned; Ding Yue's injuries were worse than he had expected. It seemed that the person had intended to kill him!

With a movement of his hand, the patriarch held a pill enveloped in mist and immortal light. In a flash, the pill entered Ding Yue's body, and he used his magical power to dissolve the medicine.

"Take your junior brother back to recover." The patriarch said calmly.

Duobao Daoist responded, "Yes."

East Sea.

A special envoy of the Human Emperor entered the East Sea Dragon Palace.

"The Dragon Prince harmed the Human Emperor's daughter, causing her to die unjustly. I am here by the order of the Human Emperor to escort the Dragon Prince to the capital for punishment. Please hand him over, Dragon King."

The special envoy said angrily, with a group of human warriors in armor behind him.

"Hmph! Humans? What are you? To dare come to the Dragon Clan for a person! Get out!"

A majestic and powerful voice echoed from deep within the Dragon Palace.

An overwhelming aura burst forth, instantly throwing the special envoy out of the Dragon Palace, severely injuring him.

Subsequently, the Human Emperor reported to the Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court, accusing the Dragon Clan of arrogance, killing the Human Emperor's daughter, and disrupting the order of the three realms, requesting the Heavenly Court to handle the matter.

The Heavenly Venerable quickly responded, sending down an angel to rebuke the Dragon Clan and order them to bind themselves and ascend to the upper realm for punishment!

The three realms were in an uproar. The Dragon Clan responded strongly, completely ignoring the Heavenly Venerable's order, continuing to act as they pleased.

But at this moment, a pair of water armies from the Dragon Clan attacked Wuyi Mountain, causing countless humans to die unjustly. Wuyi Holy Academy was breached and turned into ruins.

This action immediately caused a huge storm, and the human race was enraged, demanding war!

Wuyi Holy Academy had always been considered a sacred place for humans, and countless elites had emerged from it. The Human Emperor Lishan Clan also came from the Wuyi Mountain tribe, and Lishan had studied at Wuyi Holy Academy.

Following this, the Human Emperor issued an order, mobilizing a vast army of millions, heading for the East Sea.

The Heavenly Court, led by the Great Venerable, personally led a million heavenly soldiers and generals to descend to the mortal world to punish the Dragon Clan.

"Disciples of the截Teaching, follow the Human Emperor."

A holy edict from the patriarch was issued from Biyou Palace, and the array on Jin'ao Island was activated, enveloping the entire island.

The disciples of the截Teaching had always been supporting this Human Emperor, and the截Teaching and the Lishan Clan were closely related. Assisting the Human Emperor in achieving enlightenment was a merit that the disciples of the截Teaching should perform; otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain.

With the conflict between the human race and the Dragon Clan, the disciples of the截Teaching could not avoid it and had to face the challenge head-on.

Thus, Primordial Heavenly Venerable succeeded.

But due to Taiyi Zhenren's rash actions, Ding Yue coincidentally figured it out. To protect his beloved disciple, he had no choice but to expose himself.

Ding Yue sorted out the entire situation, thought for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh.

In this way, although the截Teaching suffered a significant loss and had to conflict with the Dragon Clan, from Ding Yue's perspective, it wasn't a loss.

The Dragon Clan, in Ding Yue's view, was not worth mentioning. Although the ancient ancestor Zhu Long was a great sage from ancient times and was among the top in the current three realms,

It was no longer the ancient times. The three realms had their own rules, and Zhu Long's return disrupted the balance and incurred the wrath of many, leading to his inevitable defeat.

Moreover, his own patriarch was not to be underestimated!

Ding Yue had great confidence in his own patriarch.

As for why Ding Yue didn't consider it a loss, it was mainly because the conflict with the Chongtian Teaching had been advanced.

In Ding Yue's mind, a battle between the Chongtian Teaching and the截Teaching was inevitable, and the Battle of the Sealing of the Gods was not far off. But now it had been advanced, which was greatly beneficial to the截Teaching.

This way, the截Teaching would only gain more advantages.

Moreover, he believed that his patriarch was also disheartened, so the situation where the disciples of the截Teaching held back against the disciples of the Chongtian Teaching in the future Battle of the Sealing of the Gods would not happen.

Thinking about this, Ding Yue finally realized that everything was triggered by himself, the small butterfly. Without his existence, Taiyi Zhenren would not have plotted against him, and Primordial Heavenly Venerable would have remained hidden until the Battle of the Sealing of the Gods.

But his appearance caused everything to change unexpectedly.

However, it was a positive change.

After thinking it through, Ding Yue focused on recovering, residing in his cave on Jin'ao Island.

In this battle, Ding Yue suffered a significant loss. Not mentioning the injuries caused by Lan Deng Daoist, just the two secret attacks by Primordial Heavenly Venerable almost led to his demise.

This was because Primordial Heavenly Venerable did not use his full strength to hide his tracks; otherwise, he would have been killed in one move.

Moreover, the green jade gourd was taken by Primordial Heavenly Venerable, which made Ding Yue quite heartbroken. It was a supreme treasure, no less valuable than his own treasure lamp.

With the support of his patriarch's elixir, Ding Yue managed to stabilize his injuries, but they were too severe and could only be slowly nurtured.

His Dao foundation was also damaged, but fortunately, his boundless merit and golden light of virtue had infinite uses, stabilizing his Dao foundation.

However, his Dao cultivation was significantly reduced, losing hundreds of years of cultivation.

After calculating, Ding Yue realized that he had fought the Chongtian Teaching disciples several times and destroyed three of the twelve golden immortals of the future.

Taiyi Zhenren, Qingxu Zhenjun, and Daohang Tianzun all suffered from the flames of karma, damaging their Dao foundations, and would need a long time to recover, making their future cultivation increasingly difficult.

In a way, it was a significant gain.

At the coast of the East Sea, the human race and the Heavenly Court joined forces, with millions of troops, their momentum shaking the heavens.

"Senior Brother." Shi Ji, Lady He Hanzhi, and Xian entered the military hall of Ding Yue's avatar.

"Rest assured, I am fine, just need to rest and recover."

Ding Yue's avatar said. He was also at the Taiyi realm, but as Ding Yue's avatar of killing intent, he remained cold even in front of He Hanzhi and Xian.

"What should we do now?" He Hanzhi asked.

"This battle cannot be avoided; it's time to make the Dragon Clan realize their arrogance." Ding Yue said coldly, thinking of the Dragon Clan's current arrogance.

"What about Sister Ao Lan?"

This made Ding Yue frown, unsure how to handle it, as he was still the son-in-law of the South Sea Dragon King and had deep ties with the Dragon Clan.

Before the battle began, Liu Xintong from Potala Island rushed over, bringing news.

The South Sea Dragon King had entered Potala Island and forcibly brought Ao Lan and Ding Long back to the Dragon Palace, placing them under house arrest.

"Hmph! What a father-in-law!" Ding Yue said angrily in the hall, smashing the table.

Not long after, the water armies of the four seas gathered in the East Sea, their numbers twice that of the human side.

But despite their overwhelming numbers and imposing momentum, the Dragon Clan's army was like a stuffed pillow.

Although the Dragon Clan had recovered some of its strength after the great calamity, it was far from its ancient times, even compared to the era of the Witches and Demons.

During the great calamity, the Dragon Clan lost almost all of its elite forces, suffering a devastating blow.

Now, although the Dragon Clan's army was vast, it was a mixed bag, with few elite soldiers.

On the human side, after two generations of Human Emperors, the human race had truly become the largest clan in the three realms. The soldiers had grown in the harsh environment of the three realms, gaining a sense of iron and blood that the Dragon Clan, in its stable environment, lacked.

The heavenly soldiers and generals were even more formidable, having trained for years in the Southern Continent, far surpassing their former selves.

From a distance, the human side had a sky-high momentum, while the Dragon Clan side was noisy and chaotic, as if on vacation, lacking the atmosphere of a great battle.

"An ancient ancestor's single move could destroy them all, right?"

"Of course!"

"What a bunch of humans and heavenly soldiers, daring to fight the Dragon Clan, overestimating themselves."

...

The Dragon Clan side was noisy, chatting, but all with an optimistic attitude.

Ding Yue stood on a high peak, his eyes flickering, looking at the distant Dragon Clan army and couldn't help but sneer.

"Kill!!!"

At this moment, a Dragon Clan general suddenly led tens of thousands of troops to attack the shore!

"Overestimating themselves!" Ding Yue saw this and knew the fate of the Dragon Clan general without even looking.

Sure enough, a human army of ten thousand immediately emerged from the human camp, their battle cries shaking the sky.

The moment the two sides clashed, the Dragon Clan's momentum waned, and their formation became disordered.

"Kill!" A human general roared, leading his troops like a sharp blade, breaking through the Dragon Clan's formation.

Once the formation was broken, the Dragon Clan scattered, tens of thousands of troops fleeing, and the Dragon Clan general was quickly surrounded by the humans and cut down in the air!

"Looking for death!"

A roar echoed from the Dragon Clan army, and a figure flew out, his magical treasure in hand, instantly killing hundreds of human soldiers...
