Chapter 657 Peacock Divine Lord

"Prepare for battle. This time, the target is the netherworld. We cannot let the Calamity Race break in. If the order of the six paths of reincarnation falls into Chaos, it won't be as easy to pacify as the Immortal Realm being breached."

Sect Master Tianjue spoke, bringing the topic back to the Calamity Race.

His gaze turned toward South Pole Heavenly Venerate.

South Pole Heavenly Venerate immediately said, "I have already severed ties with Primordial Heavenly Venerate. If the Heavenly Dao is defeated, I certainly won't survive. Rest assured, I will definitely provide my full support."

He was surprised in his heart. Why did Sect Master Tianjue target him instead of the other Saints? Weren't they close friends?

Venerable Xuandu added, "We are united now, so there is no need to worry about each other. I suggest the Heavenly Dao Sect head to the netherworld first, while the Chan Sect, Jie Sect, Human Sect, and Hidden Sect guard the Immortal Realm and the heavens. I suspect the Calamity Race is just the first move. How can we be a match for those entities when it comes to schemes? They won't put all their pieces on the board."

The Saints nodded. Empress Nuwa's act of shedding her cicada shell was enough to make them not dare to underestimate the situation.

Fang Liang had no objections and said, "I will make arrangements immediately."

He began to transmit his voice to the Great Divine General, ordering him to mobilize the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Venerable Xuandu looked at Great Emperor Xiao and asked, "How is the recruitment of the Demon Race going?"

Great Emperor Xiao replied, "They have reached a certain scale and can be thrown into the war at any time. This defense of the netherworld will be a good test for them."

The Demon Race is distributed across the Heavenly Dao, the Minor Heavenly Dao, the depths of the Chaos, and so on. They are almost the most widely distributed race; even in the Ancient Desolation, the Demon Ancestor and the Primordial Demon Race are suppressed.

Previously, Great Emperor Xiao had no power in the Heavenly Dao, mainly because he had no sect in his hands and the Demon Race had been suppressed. Now was the opportunity for the Demon Race to rise. Once they obtained heavenly dao merit, combined with Venerable Xuandu's maneuvering, the Demon Race would eventually make a comeback.

Among the Saints, except for Li Daokong and Shi Duxiao, everyone already had their own forces. Even Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate's Wu Fa Sect had a large scale, not much worse than other Saint sects.

Han Jue listened to Venerable Xuandu's arrangements without interrupting. Venerable Xuandu was clearly taking care of the Hidden Sect, and the other Saints dared not object. After all, the Hidden Sect did not enjoy the Luck of the Heavenly Dao, and Han Jue had repeatedly defended the Heavenly Dao; he deserved some Face.

Moreover, half of the current circle of Saints were Han Jue's eyes and ears.

Wu Fa Heavenly Venerate, Qiu Xilai, and Sect Master Tianjue had already been enslaved by the Hongmeng Heavenly Prison. Fang Liang and Li Daokong came from the Hidden Sect, and Venerable Xuandu had a personal relationship with Han Jue.

That left only Shi Duxiao, South Pole Heavenly Venerate, and Great Emperor Xiao. Shi Duxiao was Han Jue's secret asset, and South Pole Heavenly Venerate was a close friend of Sect Master Tianjue.

In other words, the only one who might oppose Han Jue now was Great Emperor Xiao.

One hand cannot clap. It must be said that this feeling was quite satisfying.

After the battle plan was discussed, the Saints dispersed, but Venerable Xuandu called out to Han Jue.

"Fellow Daoist Han, if we encounter a Free and Unfettered Saint this time, I will need you to act, as the Old Ancestor is not here." Venerable Xuandu said meaningfully.

Han Jue asked, "Will the Great Dao Sage attack the Heavenly Dao?"

"No. My teacher said that all the Great Dao Sages in the Guixu Divine Realm have gone to the Ancient Desolation to suppress it. This is a consensus; no Great Dao Sage would dare to be absent."

Venerable Xuandu's words made Han Jue sigh inwardly.

Without any Great Dao Sages, they still dare to invade? Are they like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather, sending themselves one by one?

Han Jue thought about it again. Standing from the perspective of the Guixu Divine Realm, how could they believe he was invincible in the Freedom Realm?

Presumably, the Free and Unfettered expert sent this time would be much stronger than the Dark Holy Monarch, perhaps even an existence infinitely close to a Great Dao Sage.

Han Jue said, "If I can deal with them, I will act. If not, I will shrink back into the Heavenly Dao. At worst, I'll just wear them out until the Old Ancestor returns."

Venerable Xuandu said meaningfully, "Your Dao field is within the Heavenly Dao. How do you manage to keep yourself within the Heavenly Dao? Can you also act from within the Heavenly Dao?"

"Hehe, you're overthinking it. If that were really the case, I would have wiped out the Flame Race long ago. I just used a secret technique to carve out a space within the Heavenly Dao and borrow its protection. I cannot walk in the Immortal Realm with my true body."

Han Jue didn't fall for it; this guy just wanted to force him to do the heavy lifting.

Venerable Xuandu said, "That's true. After all, even the Dao Ancestor couldn't act within the Immortal Realm."

The two chatted for a few more sentences before Han Jue left. Venerable Xuandu stared in the direction Han Jue left, his eyes flickering.

Back in the Daoist temple, Han Jue began to calculate the future.

"In this tribulation, who is the strongest enemy the Heavenly Dao will Face?" Han Jue asked in his heart.

[Need to deduct 100 billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

Continue!

[Peacock Divine Lord: Free and Unfettered Saint Perfection, Immeasurable Great Emperor, Yao Race Yao Saint, inheritor of a Great Dao Divine Ability]

As expected, Free and Unfettered Saint Perfection! Han Jue wasn't nervous. He was now at the Middle Stage of the Free Primal Chaos Realm and had confidence even against the Perfection stage. However, the prerequisite for him to act was that he must be able to kill the Peacock Divine Lord instantly; otherwise, it would be too dangerous.

Han Jue didn't believe that all the Great Dao Sages were wholeheartedly dealing with the Ancient Desolation. Even if a Great Dao Sage sent a Clone, it would be incredibly dangerous for him.

Continue Cultivating!

Han Jue closed his eyes, striving to reach the Late Stage of the Free Primal Chaos Realm as soon as possible. Once he reached the Late Stage, the Perfection stage wouldn't be far off. Once he reached Perfection, he would only be one step away from being a Great Dao Sage! Thinking this way, he would soon have a Breakthrough.

In the Dark Forbidden Zone, thick fog permeated the air. Hidden within the mist were countless creatures, with varied postures, all ugly, looking like Vicious Beasts from the primeval era.

Nine giant beasts resembling fierce tigers were wrapped in iron chains, the other ends of which were connected to a huge and imposing city, pitch-black and ferocious, looking like a turtle shell.

Dozens of anthropomorphic figures stood on the highest building in the giant city. At the lead was a woman wearing black armor and a dragon-bone crown. Her features were pretty, but her left Face was covered in black scales, making her look evil and ferocious.

The black-armored woman stared ahead and asked, "When will the Divine Lord arrive?" A Black-robed man beside her said in a deep voice, "He is already on the way. He has been held up by the Heavenly Court of the Dark Forbidden Zone and will likely be delayed for some time."

The black-armored woman frowned. At this moment, a cloud of black smoke appeared beside her, and a figure emerged from within: "Clan Chief, he has already been reincarnated into the six paths of reincarnation and can launch an attack at any time."

Upon hearing this, the black-armored woman fell into deep thought. After a long while.

"Activate the Yin and Yang Formation and open the barrier passage to the netherworld of the Heavenly Dao. Once opened, the whole clan will rush in and occupy the netherworld as quickly as possible. Without my order, no one is to further invade the mortal world!" The black-armored woman ordered in a deep voice.

The experts of the Calamity Race behind her responded in unison. Soon, the roars of Vicious Beasts rang out one after another in the thick fog, as if the horn of war had sounded.

In the netherworld. At the end of the Yellow Springs, countless Immortals, Gods, and Ghost Gods stood ready, standing on both sides of the Yellow Springs and suspended in the air.

The Heavenly God General, shining with divine light, suddenly frowned. He saw fluctuations appearing in the darkness at the end of the Yellow Springs; it was space fluctuating.

With a boom! Space shattered, and a terrifying red beam of light stirred up monstrous waves in the Yellow Springs, rushing into the depths of the netherworld.

The Heavenly God General immediately acted, using his powerful Physical Body to block the red beam of light. Waves of terrifying Aura overflowed from the hole in space. The first to kill its way in was a terrifying giant ten thousand feet tall, seemingly molded from raw meat, with an intimidating Aura.
