Chapter 2485: Three Years, Sixth Half-Emperor Stage
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The all-out war between the two behemoths affected the entire Ancient Realm.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
For three years, the flames of war had spread throughout the areas controlled by Magi Circle and Evil Gods Creed.
For the two forces that could tear space, there was almost no stable rear.
They would often teleport to an area controlled by the other party.
Of course, these two forces could be said to have reached a peak in their local operations.
Each region had a barrier and array that stabilized space. It was not easy to tear through space and rush to the rear.
However, there were always a few times where they succeeded, and it was enough to make a mess of the other party.
Therefore, the main battlefield was still at the border between the two sides, which was originally a no-man’s land. This was a battle zone drawn by both sides.
In the Magi Realm, in a grotto-heaven that had been opened up by a divine mountain, Chu Yunfan sat cross-legged in the Mountain River Diagram.
He was cultivating with his eyes closed. Behind him, countless Dharma Idols appeared, forming a small world.
His domain had materialized.
In these three years, Chu Yunfan had not only consolidated his cultivation in the fifth half-Emperor Stage, but he had also broken through to the sixth half-Emperor Stage.
He was only a step away from reaching the true seventh half-Emperor Stage.
In just three years, Chu Yunfan had improved. Other than his own talent, the biggest reason was, of course, the continuous battle.
After joining Magi Circle, Chu Yunfan had gained a wealth of experience from fighting the war with Evil Gods Creed.
Especially since Chu Yunfan was not a direct descendant, he was arranged to be on the front line. He was often surrounded by several half-Emperors with similar cultivation levels. Ambushes were commonplace.
In the past three years, Chu Yunfan had encountered at least a dozen battles. This was a very high frequency for a battle between half-Emperors.
Several times, Chu Yunfan had even attracted the attention of the terrifying seventh half-Emperors. Several half-Emperors had joined forces to attack him, and even Chu Yunfan had been severely injured.
If he hadn’t used the Mountain River Diagram to escape, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After that incident, he was rewarded by Magi Circle for his meritorious service. His cultivation improved further and reached the sixth half-Emperor Stage.
This time, he had cultivated to the peak of the sixth half-Emperor Stage.
Suddenly, a thought fluctuation came from outside.
It was an order from the higher-ups of Magi Circle!
Chu Yunfan quickly analyzed the meaning of the thought. Magi Circle’s higher-ups were preparing to organize a surprise attack on the rear of Evil Gods Creed. In that city, there was a large amount of war resources hoarded by Evil Gods Creed.
They demanded that the war resources be destroyed!
“A mission to attack the rear?” Chu Yunfan rubbed his chin and said. “The higher-ups of Magi Circle have indeed lost all their patience and want me to die!”
Chu Yunfan calculated for a moment and immediately understood Magi Circle’s intention. They wanted to use Evil Gods Creed’s power to eliminate him.
They could also use this method to exhaust Evil Gods Creed’s strength.
According to Chu Yunfan’s observations over the past few years, there were very few foreign Guest Elders among the top combat forces in Magi Circle. Almost all of them were direct descendants personally nurtured by Magi Circle.
Most of them were at the fifth or sixth level of the half-Emperor Stage. As for the top experts who had reached the seventh half-Emperor Stage, Chu Yunfan had only caught a glimpse of them. They were all talents cultivated by Magi Circle.
Correspondingly, the top experts of Evil Gods Creed were either Evil Gods or Evil Gods Creed’s own top experts.
It was no different from Magi Circle.
Chu Yunfan was able to escape after being surrounded several times. This was largely because his understanding of the Evil Gods had reached the peak.
Even if the enemy’s cultivation level was far higher than Chu Yunfan’s, they would inevitably suffer a huge loss at his hands.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for there to be no peerless geniuses among itinerant cultivators.
The difference between itinerant cultivators and legacy cultivators was not the difference in talent. There were often outstanding itinerant cultivators, and the difference between them was largely due to the difference in legacies and resources.
Itinerant cultivators who could cultivate to the half-Emperor Stage were the best among the itinerant cultivators. Their talent was not inferior to those legacy cultivators. In terms of talent, they might not be inferior to the Emperors of the antiquity era.
However, none of the half-Emperor itinerant cultivators had surpassed level seven.
It was possible that Chu Yunfan hadn’t been here for long, so he hadn’t seen them. After all, most of the experts above the seventh half-Emperor Stage were desperately cultivating in order to break through.
They were only a step away from becoming an Emperor, so who would be willing to give up hope?
Now, both sides were fighting with each other, and it wasn’t the first time that seventh half-Emperor Stage and above experts had appeared on the battlefield.
Under such circumstances, if Magi Circle and Evil Gods Creed really had Guest Elders at the seventh half-Emperor Stage or above, they would be sent to the front lines as cannon fodder.
It was impossible to let the direct descendants risk their lives and let the foreign dignitaries sit and enjoy peace.
Therefore, it was not difficult for Chu Yunfan to guess that there were probably no Guest Elders above the seventh half-Emperor Stage in these two sects.
Thinking about it carefully, Chu Yunfan had already reached this standard.
It was obvious that he had changed from a convenient tool to an object that needed to be cleaned up.
Attacking Evil Gods Creed’s rear could be said to have no chance of winning. Even the survival rate was less than 10%.
However, Chu Yunfan had no other choice. He could feel a powerful spiritual force sweeping back and forth above his cave abode. If Chu Yunfan refused, there was no doubt that the master behind these powerful spiritual forces would immediately kill him.
However, Chu Yunfan was not afraid because he had prepared for this for several years.
Of course, he knew that Magi Circle harbored ill intentions. However, Magi Circle had underestimated his ability. It was impossible for them to send him to his death.
When Chu Yunfan arrived at the agreed place, he found that he was not the only one present. There were hundreds of thousands of people.
To be precise, other than a bachelor like him, every itinerant cultivator basically had their own direct descendants.
This time, they were sent as well.
And Windy City, which should have belonged to Chu Yunfan’s direct line of descent, had already been conquered by Evil Gods Creed in a battle a year ago. Since then, Windy City’s countless years of inheritance had been lost.
Even Chu Yunfan couldn’t save them in time. Once Evil Gods Creed made up their mind, Windy City was taken down in an instant. There was no difficulty at all.
However, this time, all the experts’ expressions were extremely ugly. It was obvious that they knew that there was almost no chance of victory in this surprise attack. They might even be completely wiped out.
However, they had no choice but to come.
