Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1177 - 419: Invincible (Part 2)

"Even if it means many will die." Qing Zhou frowned.

"If we don't take down Jing Qiu quickly, and he uses the opportunities left by Chao Ge to advance further, in the end, many will still die." Jiang Wanjing said coldly, "Now they're dying fighting against evil, but afterward, it will just be one-sided slaughter."

Qu Chengyang's expression wasn't pleasant.

This Jiang Wanjing truly is a madman.

To hold back twelve, including Heavenly Monarchs who have mastered the Hongmeng Divine Power... how many Heavenly Kings must each family lose? Do they think Heavenly Kings are expendable?!

And before he advanced to being a Heavenly Monarch, he was similarly just "expendable" in others' eyes!

Yet, Qu Chengyang had to admit, Jiang Wanjing was right, if Jing Qiu "breaks through" again, under the Killing Tribulation's blessing, even more people will die.

Moreover, dying under the imprint of past powerful figures is not the same concept as dying by Jing Qiu's hand.

The latter, instead, would propel Jing Qiu to become increasingly powerful.

Qing Zhou coldly surveyed the changes in everyone's expressions.

He originally wanted to suggest that Jing Qiu might not be wrapped up in the Killing Tribulation, but clearly, it's now meaningless.

Luo Sheng said indifferently, "Then inform each family to share the roles."

Kun said with a sullen face, "How to inform them, to get ready to die?"

Luo Sheng looked at Qian, warning, "Without Kong Xiao, will Returning to Truth Temple cease to function? Don't forget, this battle is also to help you Returning to Truth Temple regain face. Act early, and maybe Kong Xiao can still be saved."

Qian stopped his sister from speaking, and said gravely, "Returning to Truth Temple will arrange everything."

Jiang Wanjing swept his gaze over the Heavenly Kings of each family, and suddenly said, "In this battle, we are the core, if other families' gates lack a Heavenly Monarch, then they should send more people."

In response, everyone coldly nodded.

Even Kun, who had rebutted earlier, had no objection.

If they don't want their own people to die, naturally they have to sacrifice more disciples from other gates.

They believed they had left enough leeway, considering the impacts and aftershocks after this ends.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a few more people from other gates.

"Why hasn't Shi Dao arrived yet?" A middle-aged Taoist nun not far from Jiang Wanjing, with a magic saber hanging and wearing a fish tail crown and a yellow crown, asked with a cold voice.

She bore the Taoist title Bai Lu, from a hidden Transcendence Gate, and was a core disciple there. The standard for division in the Sea of Realms among the hidden world is whether one participates in its exploration.

The Absolute Peak Heavenly King representing Shi Dao of the Heavenly Cutting Sect said respectfully, "I'm not sure if it's the influence of the Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation, but the other two Tribulation Embryos are heading here, and a Heavenly Monarch is intercepting them."

The expressions of several people changed unpredictably at once.

"It might not be a bad thing." Qing Zhou said calmly.

Jiang Wanjing nodded slightly.

Jing Qiu can use the Tribulation Embryo, and when necessary, so can they.

Moreover, if the two Tribulation Embryos merge, they will inevitably have a life-and-death battle with Jing Qiu, which is also something they wish to see.

Luo Sheng glanced around the scene and said with a grim tone, "The Netherworld hasn't sent anyone either. Are they not prepared to clean up their own mess?"

Qing Zhou looked at him and said lightly, "Enough, let's resolve Jing Qiu before talking."

Luo Sheng glanced at Qing Zhou, frowning slightly, not understanding why Qing Zhou suddenly stopped him from using the opportunity to raise an issue against the Netherworld.

Though they are competitors, they're both from the Mayfly Palace and need to unite outwardly, so Luo Sheng temporarily held back.

Subsequently, the orders of the Heavenly Monarchs were promptly issued and spread.

At once, this sparked an uproar among the gates of each family.

Originally, they came just to see if they could reap some benefits, but now there's a possibility of being thrown onto the battlefield to die, so naturally many opposed.

But faced with the pressure from the Heavenly Monarchs of each family, the Heavenly Kings had no room for resistance.

Those daring enough to try to flee or resist were killed on the spot.

Soon, under the personal suppression by the Heavenly Monarchs, the gates of each family quickly compromised and selected the ones to be sacrificed.

Among them, Yuanyi Temple, under Qu Chengyang, had few disciples, so they had to choose from followers, and in consideration of Ning Fengyuan's face, they refrained from sending Ji Linyuan and others.

After signing the relevant contracts, the army set out, officially marching toward Chaohua Mountain dojo.

...

Chaohua main mountain.

At the mountain's peak, large areas of Red Mist ripple through the Flowing Mist Woods lining both sides, extending at a glance to the deepest Tao Palace, which was once the dojo of Chao Ge.

Jing Qiu stepped inside, while Kong Xiao guarded outside.

He looked up at the trees, originally just ordinary, but under the long-term bath of Dao Rhyme emanated by Chao Ge, they had already evolved into a different kind, shedding their mundane roots and becoming almost Divine Medicine.

In a different setting, Kong Xiao wouldn't mind transferring these demigod trees into his Inner Heaven and Earth, but today, looking at the fiery red forest, Kong Xiao frowned slightly, as if he saw the scene of rivers of blood soon flowing.

At this moment. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Jing Qiu walked out of the Tao Palace.

Inside was empty, with only a few wisps of lingering Dao Rhyme left by Chao Ge, which he had already captured.

He stepped out of the Tao Palace and saw the allied forces of each family beginning their attack at the foot of the mountain, and shook his head slightly.

From his heart, Jing Qiu didn't want to unleash a massacre.

He harbored a compassionate heart and disliked meaningless slaughter.

But now, with each family deeming him a demon and trying to besiege him, he naturally had no choice but to escape with his tail between his legs.

Suddenly.

Jing Qiu saw a few figures within the crowd.

Their faces were unfamiliar, yet had a strange familiarity.

Jing Qiu was slightly shaken within.

...

As the blood of one Ancient Beast after another splattered across Heaven and Earth, everyone charged into the central area of Chaohua Mountain, encountering vast swathes of Time Mist.

"These mists... seem thinner than before." Qing Zhou whispered.
