Chapter 743 Ceding Territory! Paying Reparations! The Radical Lords
"Yuan!"
Three figures who looked quite similar stood up, their eyes filled with anger as they gritted their teeth and spoke.
"Don't go too far!"
"We have already agreed to return the occupied territory, and you still want to push your luck?"
"You cultivators' territories were also plundered, so the true master of the Lotus Prison World Cluster should be the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain. Why can't we encroach upon them?"
All three figures roared in anger.
Yuan's gaze swept over, his eyes filled with contempt.
The Three Sovereigns of Wind, Thunder, and Sea!
It was born from the mysterious place "Wind and Thunder Sea" in the infinite primordial space. Its situation is similar to that of the three lords of Blood Crane Territory. Their strength is at a medium to low level among the ancestors!
They are all immortal and indestructible simply because they possess the highest power.
After joining the Ice Peak faction, they loved to plunder everywhere under the name of the Ice Peak faction. Of the more than one hundred world clusters occupied by cultivators, nearly half were occupied by them.
"The Three Thieves of Wind, Thunder, and Sea? What right do they have to speak to me?"
Yuanman opened his mouth with a murderous aura.
"If it weren't for joining the Ice Peak faction, and out of respect for Ice Peak and Sister Sha Zhou, you would have dared to invade my cultivator territory."
I, the Lord of Cultivators, will hunt you down for countless eons!
"Exterminate your entire race!"
"Arrogant!"
The three emperors of the wind, thunder, and sea were filled with boundless rage when they heard Yuan call them "three thieves" to their faces and heard the undisguised contempt in his words.
But amidst their anger, they also felt fear.
They were indeed relatively weak. Lord Moman once attacked them in a fit of rage, destroying their bodies and taking their treasures.
Because of their immortality, they can recover even if their bodies are destroyed.
But precisely because of this, they especially hate the cultivators' camp.
Among the cultivators, Moman is the most effective against the three of them, while Jin, Xingmang, and Yuan can also destroy their bodies.
With the current strength of cultivators, if they were to truly unleash their fury, they would have more than enough power to storm into the Wind and Thunder Sea and exterminate all their races!
With the starlight shining through, this really isn't a difficult task.
"Yuan, don't be angry. It's just a hundred or so world groups, why hurt our friendship?" The ancestor Wugu's face was also ugly, but he still immediately put on a smile.
"Ugu!"
Yuan turned his head sharply, his expression devoid of any warmth.
"Do you think I don't know that you've occupied more than fifty territories of my cultivator camp? You will have to pay a heavy price for this!"
Otherwise, you will suffer the same fate!
His murderous intent was fully revealed!
By this point, Yuan had made no attempt to hide his anger; he was there to vent his fury!
He lacked the strength in the past.
Yuan could only endure it.
They watched helplessly as the cultivator camp they had built was gradually devoured by the naturally formed chaotic camp, countless source worlds were consumed, and billions of cultivators perished in the mouths of the naturally formed chaotic beings.
He once led seven lords in a bloody battle, but even the strongest can't fight against overwhelming odds, and each battle came at a heavy price. In each great battle, the Origin World was devoured by more than half of it.
He dared not turn against the Ice Peak faction, nor did he dare to take a real fight against such clowns as the Three Emperors of Wind, Thunder, and Sea.
Because once the Ice Peak faction sides with the Heavenly Chaos Origin, the cultivator faction will truly be doomed.
For countless days and nights, he could only endure boundless pressure.
But now, everything is different.
"Yuan, I am willing to return the territory I seized. As for compensation, let's forget about it. After all, we are friends..."
""
Wugu Ancestor's face darkened, but he still gritted his teeth and said.
"A friend?"
Yuan Moran looked at the Wugu Ancestor.
"When you invaded my cultivators' territory and devoured the source world, we ceased to be friends. You must pay the price!"
"If you don't want to."
"Then I will take action myself. Among the twelve forces that have invaded my cultivator territory, Blood Crane Territory and Lotus Prison Mountain Lord have already fallen."
Our cultivator faction will also take over the territories of other forces one by one!
"You are the same!"
As soon as the words fell, all twelve members of the Ice Peak camp fell silent. Even Sha Zhou, who usually didn't care much about things and was just there to make a brief appearance, couldn't help but look at Yuan.
That's too domineering!
It was so powerful that even she was somewhat shocked.
In the past, people were very kind and easy to talk to, even if there were some frictions.
But now, even she couldn't help but glance at that overwhelming murderous aura.
"What do you want?" The Ice Peak Ancestor's face darkened completely.
He had initially thought that Yuan only wanted to reclaim the territories that had been invaded. But now it seemed that Yuan's ambitions were far greater than he had imagined.
"It's very simple." Yuan held up one finger. "First, not only must the occupied source world clusters be returned, but at least one hundred source world clusters must also be compensated."
The looted resources must be compensated at least three times the original amount!
"You're dreaming!" the three emperors of the Wind, Thunder, and Sea roared simultaneously. "Yuan, don't go too far! We've already given you the return of our territory; you still want our territory and treasures?"
"Excessive?" Yuan sneered. "You devoured a large number of source worlds of my cultivator camp, causing the deaths of billions of lives."
This compensation is just interest!
He then extended a second finger: "Anyone who attacks or devours a naturally born Chaos Origin life form from my cultivator camp will die! You can choose to do it yourselves, or you can choose to let us do it!"
"What?!" Ancestor Wugu's expression changed drastically. "Yuan, this is too arrogant! You are provoking the entire Ice Peak faction!"
"So what if you provoke me?" Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "You devoured my cultivator's source world and killed countless lives, so pay with your life! It's only right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Ice Peak Hall fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared at Yuan in disbelief.
They must return the territory, compensate for the lost treasures, cede land, and even hand over all the lives that devoured the source world.
This is hardly a negotiation.
This is clearly a humiliating surrender!
"Brother Yuan!" The Ice Peak Ancestor suddenly stood up, his body radiating a surge of cold energy, instantly lowering the temperature of the entire hall to freezing point, with countless ice crystals condensing in the void. "Don't push your luck!"
I am a good friend of yours, and I also cherish the friendship I had with Shazhou back then, which is why I am willing to sit down and negotiate with you.
"Do you really think my Ice Peak faction is afraid of you?"
"Call me Yuan!"
Yuan looked at him and said, "Those who encroach upon the territory of cultivators are not qualified to be my elder brother!"
The Ice Peak Ancestor's expression also turned cold: "Yuan, I have been patient enough! They have invaded our territory, and I have made them return it."
But if your cultivator faction wants to start a war, then let's start a war!
We are immortal beings, why would we fear war?
"very good."
Yuan nodded slightly, and the murderous aura on his face softened.
"If you choose war, all the territories of your Ice Peak faction will become the targets of our cultivator faction's attack."
Now, all I want is one hundred territories and three times the compensation.
Once the war starts, we'll need much more than just this.
"What?"
Some immortal beings were startled.
"Either agree, or prepare for war!"
Yuan Moran spoke, then disappeared in a single step.
The main hall was completely silent.
The twelve immortal beings looked at each other in astonishment, their eyes wide with disbelief. They never expected things to turn out this way.
Is war really about to break out?
The Ice Peak Ancestor, filled with anger, looked around.
"If you hadn't tried to encroach on the cultivators' territory, why would Yuan have completely turned against us? Now that the cultivators' camp has grown so powerful, they're settling accounts!"
The realm of cultivators, the desolate world.
This is the Origin World Cluster, the home world of the cultivator lord "Minghuang," and also his absolute territory! The entire world cluster operates according to the will of "Minghuang."
In the Holy Land of the Netherworld, sin is absolutely forbidden.
Once discovered, they would be executed immediately.
Inside the holy site at this moment.
Minghuang sat cross-legged in a wooden house beside a vast lake, while Ziguang looked into the distance.
In her vision, in each source world, the underworld was lit up, the Great Dao of Reincarnation merged into the origin of the source world, and the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared.
With the emergence of the Underworld, many of her former subordinates directly joined the Underworld, becoming members of the Underworld's Yama, Judges, and other officials.
Under her territorial administration, there was also a concept of merit and sin.
In the past, she set the rules, and then her subordinates acted in accordance with those rules!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Depending on the severity of the crime, there are various levels of punishment!
This is also the only one among the seven lords' territories that has laws, but looking at the situation in each of the source worlds, a smile appeared on her face.
"Qin Ming's customized 'Fengdu Black Laws' is quite good. It is more comprehensive and more effective than the regulations I have made in the past."
Minghuang looked quite satisfied.
Although Qin Ming expanded the Underworld, she was not unreasonable or domineering. Many of the laws of the source worlds in this region were optimized and adjusted based on her suggestions.
"After consuming the soul of Mogus this time, my soul has also been greatly enhanced, and I am more confident in comprehending the second Chaos Origin Path."
Minghuang's eyes shone with confidence.
Those who become lords are all extremely confident.
The Chaotic Thunder Dao she comprehended was eight parts thunder and two parts water. The best way to comprehend the second Dao was to comprehend the path that was primarily based on water.
In the past, she had some clues.
Although progress is slow, there is progress nonetheless.
After consuming the soul of Mogus, this speed increased significantly.
"If I can kill one more progenitor that is primarily water-based and supplemented by lightning, my chances of breaking through will increase significantly, and the time required will be greatly reduced."
"Um?
Minghuang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is war about to break out? I'm coming right now!"
Meanwhile.
Lord Jin, Moman, Wulan, and others all received the message and rushed to Yuan's location.
The Starshine team set off very early.
In the future timeline, he had already foreseen the outcome of the negotiations and set off before Yuan even left.
Of course, Qin Ming was also acting in tandem!
Within the underworld.
The gates of hell opened before Qin Ming, and the seventeen progenitors who were immersed in the River of Oblivion all flew into the body of the Myriad Souls Banner and stepped into it together with Qin Ming.
Starlight has its own spacetime network.
With the opening up of one primordial world after another, a unique teleportation system belonging to the underworld has gradually taken shape.
The gathering place that Yuan had set up in advance.
One by one, figures appeared.
"They're all here."
Yuan nodded.
Qin Ming, Jin, Moman, and the other four lords all wore expressions of murderous intent.
While discussing how to make their move, they had already formulated a basic strategy: first eliminate several weaker forces to strengthen their own side, and then finally attack the Ice Peak faction.
Otherwise, why would they attack the Lord of Lotus Prison Mountain first?
This is comparable to the Oug Ancestor, and his strength ranks among the top thirty in the entire Infinite Chaos Space.
Besides the seven lords, there are also some powerful beings who are immortal and indestructible.
This is the strongest level.
The strategy against the Ice Peak faction has already been determined.
They must pay the price!
Whether it's territory, resources, or the culprit, etc.
As for not being willing to give it?
Then let's start the war!
It wasn't just about venting their anger; it was also about considering that setting up a boundary-breaking teleportation array required a large amount of precious resources in addition to the most basic energy!
The four thousand source worlds provide energy, and at least ten progenitors are sacrificed.
This is just the minimum requirement.
Setting up a sacrificial array or a boundary-breaking array requires no resources?
Yuan is a top-tier array master. Qin Ming is the main figure in this matter, but the key to setting up the grand array lies with Yuan, who knows this better than anyone.
"It's best if they disagree; let's take this opportunity to kill another batch of progenitors!"
Jin spoke with a sinister grin.
During this period, he fully experienced the growth of his soul, accelerating his cultivation, while also becoming more eager to comprehend the second Hunyuan Dao.
They only hunted down seventeen progenitors in total.
However, there are as many as seven lords, and Qin Ming himself needs the soul and enlightenment of the progenitor level to improve himself.
Let's not talk about Qin Ming.
Each of the seven lords would have to devour at least seven progenitors.
That's not enough.
The ten sacrificial progenitors cannot be moved, and Qin Ming also needs to preserve the Giant God Emperor, the Chaos Origin Beast Ancestor, and others, so the gap is too large.
Of course, compatibility issues also need to be considered.
This number is far from enough; we must launch another attack to hunt down more progenitors.
"Our demands are almost certainly unacceptable to them. The probability of war is quite high. Starlight, what do you think?"
Minghuang also spoke up.
"It's hard to say. Their internal situation has already deteriorated. This time, only a portion of them invaded our territory. The other portion hasn't made a move yet."
They were already divided internally, even with our coercion.
With our current strength, they might not dare to start a war with us.
Starlight shook its head slightly.
Unlike the cultivators' camp, the Ice Peak camp is just a loose alliance. Many of its members haven't even gained an advantage yet, so how could they easily make a move?
Before anyone else could speak, Xingmang immediately added.
"But this is also an opportunity for the naturally formed chaotic life force. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor will not let this opportunity pass, and they may join forces."
"We expected this!" Naigu sneered. "At worst, we'll just start a simultaneous war!"
