Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1149 - 693: Divine War_2

Countless cultivators within the Yang Yun clouds, with the Duotian Altar erected amidst them, countless Thunder Drums and Electric Mirrors set up, Strongmen forcefully hammering, heavy clouds thunderously exploding, truly as if heaven and earth rage, Human Gods uniting in punishment.

Duotian Altar!

Mingxiao Taoists!

"Boom!!!"

Endless Yang Yun clouds, spreading across the sky, looming above the Divine Domain, followed by another thunderous sound. Lo and behold, a Nine Tribulations True Immortal, hair disheveled, chest and abdomen bare, in the guise of a Strongman, strikes mightily upon the clouds above. The sound of the Thunder Drum shakes heaven and earth, calling for a response, crashing down myriad zhang of Heavenly Thunder, exploding into this Brahma Divine Domain.

"Ha!!!"

Seeing this, Bu Jun, son of Indra, promptly mounts the Storm Chariot, his Ninth-Order Immortal Treasure spear also raised high, harnessing the power of the storm, to intercept the heavenly thunder.

But unexpectedly...

"Boom!!!"

A loud thunderclap, and amidst the Heavenly Thunder, the storm was instantly extinguished.

Bu Jun’s spear strike was swallowed by the lightning in an instant, leaving only a Storm Chariot filled with cracks plummeting to the ground. As for the charioteer himself, he was nowhere to be seen, as if turned to ashes.

"Bu Jun!!!"

Seeing this scene, the Brahma Immortals were all horrified, several young divinities roared out in anger, desiring to ascend the heavens and fight the enemy.

They were Bu Jun’s brothers, other sons of Heavenly Emperor Indra, five in total, all True Gods, having inherited their father’s blood and power, each a valiant War God, many heroic deeds recorded in Brahman Sect’s epics.

Now with Bu Jun dead, they were filled with rage, ready to ascend to the heavens to avenge him.

However, an elder blocked their path, a Brahma Immortal of the Brahman Sect.

"Do not leave the Divine Domain!"

This Brahma Immortal stops Indra’s sons, coldly watching the Duotian Altar descending from outside the domain: "They’ve usurped the great power of heaven and earth, the authority of the world; this attack has surpassed the limits that ordinary divinities can endure. You must not leave the Divine Domain, or else we will be unable to withstand their assault!"

After speaking, he raised his staff, singing praises with a most devout voice.

"Praise the Supreme Lord Vishnu!"

"You are the Lord of Guardianship, you are the God of gods..."

With the chanting, the Divine Domain suddenly strengthened, lightning flashed outside the domain, thunder roared, yet unable to breach the Divine Domain’s interior.

Brahma Immortal!

One of the sacred Brahma Sects, possessing power either equal or even superior to that of the divinities, often with wisdom, mostly priests of the Three Forms God, able to invoke the power of the Three Phases, the most famous of the Nine Brahma Immortals even reached the Earth Immortal Realm, wielding authority and power even higher than Heavenly Emperor Indra.

Although this elder was not one of the Nine Brahma Immortals, he was an extremely powerful Ninth-rank True Immortal and a priest of the Three Forms God Vishnu, capable of invoking the "Protective" force, strengthening the defenses of the Divine Domain.

He recognized that the opponent’s presence was formidable, each spell, each attack wave could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, the strength already exceeding norm, even as a Ninth-rank deity, one could not directly withstand it, only by standing firm in the Divine Domain, using the Heavenly Emperor’s power could victory be achieved.

Indeed, the Heavenly Emperor, their only hope, as well as their greatest calculation for victory.

But before that...

"Boom!!!"

The sound of rumbling thunder arose once more, Mingxiao Taoists with the Duotian Altar calling down thunder, fiercely bombarding the Brahma Divine Domain, eventually tearing open several gaps.

Once a gap was formed, it was difficult to close. One by one, the Celestial Patrol Warships breached the sky, unleashing the strength of myriad weapons crashing into the Divine Domain. Then with all guns blazing, they fiercely bombarded, Heavenly Thunder Earthly Fire, like a breached dike, the entirety unleashed upon the enemy forces.

More Cultivators, controlling Mechas, descended from high heavens, crashing into the midst of Brahma’s armies.

High above the heavens, Brahma Immortals wrathfully arose, then were intercepted, numerous Calamity Immortals attacked, even True Immortals stormed formation, mired in a fight to the death with Brahma Immortals.

Force met force, commander met commander, king met king!

Although both sides had immense confidence in their ultimate combat power, this was no cause for recklessness, as in such high-level battles, every bit of strength was precious, and no one dared the risk of making a minutely wrong decision.

Otherwise, why would the Brahma Heavenly Emperor not emerge, even with his offspring slain, he did not extend a hand to save?

He who moves first, remains at a disadvantage, even against the Nine Rituals Heavenly Venerate, he dared not risk the small for the greater.

If the Brahman Sect was already so cautious, needless to say the Wandao School, governing for ten thousand years was now a time to stake lives.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Academy Monks, attacking into the Divine Domain, locked in fierce battle with the ranks of divine armies.

"Screech!!!"

Amidst the chaos, a shocking screech stirred, it was a Golden Winged Great Peng Bird fiercely battling a giant nine-headed serpent.

"Weide!"

"Garuda!"

"How dare you betray the Supreme Lord, betray our Brahman Gods?"

That nine-headed giant serpent coiled its body, spewing venom to fight the Golden Winged Bird, while its other heads spoke human words, angrily chastising the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird.

It was a Naga Dragon King, a God of Protection of the Brahman Sect.

Its nine heads stared furiously at the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, struggling to accept this truth.

The Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, from the Garuda Clan, was the tribe of Vishnu, the master of the Three Forms, and had always been known for its loyalty, with not a hint of doubt in its faith towards the Supreme Lord Vishnu.

But now...

"Betrayal?"

"My Garuda Clan has long since abandoned darkness for light, serving under the feet of the Taoist Master, receiving righteous laws and moral cultivation, true practitioners of the Righteous Path. How could we join forces with evil gods and demons like you, committing acts that abet tyranny?"

"It is not my Garuda that has betrayed, but rather the divinities that lack clarity, willingly fallen, transformed into demons. As Academy Monks, we must act on behalf of the heavens!"

The Golden Winged Great Peng Bird spoke human words too, and then a murderous intent erupted from its golden pupils, attacking its opponent with the might of a Great Peng battling a dragon.

His Garuda Clan did indeed originate from the Brahman Sect, but that was already tens of thousands of years ago. Since one of the four Garuda Kings, Weide, submitted to Mingxiao, their lineage also joined the Wandao School; and now, they even had descendants who exceeded their forebears, achieving Nine Tribulations Completion and becoming True Immortals.

In this great battle, he was at the forefront with no intent to avoid the conflict.

Avoiding conflict?

At this time, if he avoided it, then what face would his Garuda Clan have to reside in the Scholar’s Palace in the future, and what face would he, the Garuda King, have to listen to lectures at the feet of the Taoist Master?

Kill!!!

The Golden Wings obscured the sun; the Heavenly Peng battled the dragon.

Such scenes were unfolding everywhere within the Divine Domain, on every battlefield.

The Wandao School governed the world for tens of thousands of years, and despite eventually finding itself against the whole world, opposed and even hunted by all major Divine Systems, it also won the hearts of the people and attracted a considerable amount of power from all major Divine Systems and Tao Lineages.

It was so with the Alliance Heavenly Tao, and so it was with the Garuda, as well as with many other similar cultivators, all fiercely fighting at this moment.

No holding back, and no reason to hold back!

Under this onslaught...

"Boom!!!"

Heavenly Thunder Earthly Fire, a relentless bombardment. Even with the power of the Three Forms and the home-field advantage of the Divine Domain, they could not withstand the attack of the Wandao School Monks ordained by heavenly fate. The Brahman Sect was in retreat at every turn, their armies shedding blood in the Divine Soil, and many gods were falling.

Defeat after defeat, an unstoppable retreat!

The Wandao School had governed the world for tens of thousands of years, accumulating profound depth and potentiality that had long surpassed all existing major Divine Systems. With nearly a hundred True Immortals, thousands of Calamity Immortals, and tens of millions in Mahayana Unity, as well as a stunning arsenal of Celestial Patrol Warships and Immortal Spirit Mech Armor.

When Indra returned, he indeed brought a multitude of affiliated gods, a congregation of devotees, and together with the existing Brahman Gods, his power was also strong, sufficient to initiate a Divine War. But this Divine War could only contest the major Divine Systems and was powerless against the Wandao School, which was bolstered by joined fate and combining Heavenly and human forces.

So, defeat was inevitable, without a doubt!

The retreating Brahman Gods were eventually pushed back to the Heavenly Palace. Their armies were entirely devastated, countless believers shed blood on the Divine Soil, and the demi-gods and True Gods above also suffered slaughter. To say "a tenth survived" would still mean heavy casualties and losses.

At this juncture, there was no choice left!

"Boom!!!"

With a loud bang, a resplendent Divine Light exploded from the Heavenly Palace, and a war chariot charged out from within. Standing on the chariot was a Divine being, crowned with a golden diadem, with a thousand eyes and four arms each holding a Divine Artifact, surrounded by flashing Thunder and followed by storms. It was...

"The Heavenly Emperor!"

"Indra!"

The Brahman Gods cheered, while the Scholar’s Palace Immortals frowned.

Without a word, Indra merely swept the battlefield with a cold gaze, then lifted an arm, about to hurl the "Amogha" Divine Spear in his hand.

This was a Tenth-Order Heavy Weapon, and with his powers as an Earth Immortal, nobody present could withstand it.

However...

"Boom!!!"

Even before the Divine Spear was thrown, the heavens and earth shook, and billions of sword streams surged skyward, from top to bottom and vice versa, their brilliant radiance wantonly intertwining, unexpectedly erecting a "Sword Domain" right here in the Divine Domain!

Billions of sword streams, reaching heaven and piercing earth, sealed the battlefield space, forbidding the limits of all directions, and a supreme majesty descended. Even the Bhurlo Heaven’s Brahman Heavenly Emperor, Indra, the veteran Earth Immortal, felt an unprecedented and terrifying pressure.

"What is this...!?"
