Chapter 337: Plundering Luck
Genesis Star Palace.
In the deep and secluded hall, beside the Thousand Leaves Merit Azure Lotus Pond, a radiant mist filled the air, and auspicious colors rose, enveloping the hall in a brilliant and majestic aura.
Emperor Bing Chan, sitting at the head, furrowed her brows as she listened to the report from her subordinates. Her clear and beautiful eyes showed a pensive expression.
After weighing the matter in her heart for a moment, she spoke and asked the senior and junior sisters sitting on both sides, "What do you think is the best way to handle this matter?"
Naturally, the commotion near the main altar of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had also caught the attention of Genesis Star Palace's intelligence network. They had reported the causes and consequences to this senior sister.
Dongfang Zhihan, pure and beautiful, twisted her waist and played with the flower basket in her hand lazily, saying, "This matter seems to have nothing to do with us, right? Let them fight to the death, it's none of our business!"
"That's right. These forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky are engaged in a fierce battle with the Heavenly Human Race. For us, it is a beneficial and harmless matter. We don't need to get involved. We can just watch and see how it unfolds!" said Night Star Lan, dressed in a pure white ice-patterned palace dress, her white hair cascading down like a waterfall, her jade-like face cold and elegant.
The other junior sisters also expressed their opinions, mostly agreeing to stand by and watch.
From the perspective of Genesis Star Palace, the entire Extreme Void Starry Sky had once belonged to their sphere of influence billions of years ago. Now, it had been divided and occupied by these various forces. They were openly and secretly on guard against the return of Genesis Star Palace's power, and they wished for the extinction of these forces.
Unfortunately, most of the senior sisters had not returned from the Upper Realm, and with insufficient strength, Genesis Star Palace could only temporarily remain idle, silently restoring their territory, and planning for major events when their power was sufficient.
Emperor Bing Chan, with a dignified demeanor, pondered for a moment and said, "The life and death of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is indeed unrelated to us, but... those forces are sending elite troops, seemingly to take advantage of the situation, but the main reason is to prevent Qin Muling from being taken away by others."
"So, it seems inappropriate for us to ignore this matter, right? We should at least go and take a look. That would be the right thing to do!"
These words stirred the junior sisters present. Dongfang Zhihan's beautiful eyes flickered as she blinked several times and said, "It is said that Qin Muling's identity is very extraordinary. He possesses great luck and fortune. He is likely to be the key figure in this round of calamity in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, possibly the son of luck in this era! That's why the higher-ups of the Heavenly Human Race want to capture him at all costs."
"From our standpoint, it seems that we cannot just watch this happen. If he is really that special, it would be more appropriate for us to have him under our control. I believe our Master will agree with our approach afterwards."
Since Genesis Star Palace was destined to be the supreme ruling power in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the birth of all high-quality resources in this timeline, including the monstrous geniuses, should belong to them. The son of luck born in this calamity should be no exception!
The junior sisters fell silent for a moment. The enchanting and dignified woman in the green dress gently caressed the three treasures of the dragon, tiger, and jade ruyi in her hand. Her moist and beautiful eyes turned, and she said softly, "This matter is indeed worth a try, but... Senior Sister, your three corpse avatars have not yet been re-cultivated. Facing such a complicated situation, it might be unsafe to act rashly!"
When she was still in the Upper Realm, Emperor Bing Chan had already severed her three corpse avatars, and her cultivation level was roughly on par with Immortal Venerable Qing Yao.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. During an exploration journey deep into the chaotic void, Emperor Bing Chan was besieged by a large group of chaotic beasts. After a bitter battle, she managed to escape at the cost of serious injuries. However, her incomplete three corpse avatars all perished, resulting in a significant loss of power that she has not been able to recover from all these years.
Of course, even without the three corpse avatars and with greatly reduced strength, Emperor Bing Chan's cultivation realm from before still remained. Therefore, those ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperors were still no match for her.
"This problem is no longer a concern now!"
Emperor Bing Chan smiled faintly. A beautiful figure emerged from her, surrounded by light and radiance. She wore a black and gold tight-fitting armor and held a slender jet-black war halberd. Her icy-cold eyes exuded a chilling aura.
Then, another figure appeared, elegant and graceful, dressed in splendid attire. She held a palace fan embroidered with golden phoenixes. Her aura was warm and powerful, but her form was somewhat blurry, indicating that she had not fully recovered.
"Eh? You've already recovered to this extent?"
The junior sisters present were both surprised and delighted. Since Senior Sister had enough strength, it seemed that they could consider getting involved in the trouble at the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace headquarters.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Junior Brother for bringing back the lotus seeds. Otherwise, the recovery wouldn't have been so smooth!"
Emperor Bing Chan laughed. "I plan to personally go to the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace headquarters. Xinglan Junior Sister and Ziyuan Junior Sister can come with me. As for Zhihan Junior Sister, you can stay behind and guard the sect."
"Alright."
The white-haired sword cultivator and the stunning beauty both agreed.
Although Dongfang Zhihan's expression was somewhat unhappy, considering that both senior sisters had left, there had to be one Quasi-Saint Emperor remaining in the sect. So, he could only reluctantly agree.
...
Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace headquarters.
Above the sky, on the surface of the thick and tough silver radiance barrier, endless attacks fell like a torrential rain, causing ripples and waves to constantly spread. Occasionally, a layer of the barrier would be instantly annihilated by a earth-shattering explosion.
With ten Heavenly Human Race Quasi-Saint Emperors as the core, a grand formation composed of tens of thousands of Taiyi Golden Immortals and over a thousand Great Principal Golden Immortals slowly hovered in the sky. Various Acquired Spiritual Treasures and Innate Spiritual Treasures of different grades filled the sky.
Meteorites with a diameter of tens of thousands of miles, enveloped in the flames of the Five Flavors Divine Fire, fell from the Ninth Heaven one after another. With the momentum of thunder, they collided with the protective mountain formation's barrier, creating concentric ripples that rapidly spread in all directions. Their destructive power was much more terrifying than the Great Principle Heavenly Tribulation.
Icebergs larger than stars, giant trees, hurricane tornadoes, blood-colored thunderbolts in the shape of dragons, a river of sword qi that connected heaven and earth, and the annihilating divine light of the Magnetic Gangsha that could destroy all tangible and intangible things... They all relentlessly fell on the thick and tough barrier.
Inside the barrier, the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower exuded a majestic and awe-inspiring aura as it slowly revolved. Silver radiance surrounded its body, and under Mu Yinghua's command, it quickly repaired the damaged areas of the protective mountain formation's barrier.
Above the clouds, brilliant radiance and auspicious purple qi filled the sky. Countless flags, gates, and altars formed a network of nodes for the protective mountain formation. Each location was guarded by female immortals at the Taiyi realm, while the more important areas were presided over by Great Principal Golden Immortals. Even the auxiliary support positions were all occupied by powerful Golden Immortals.
Today, the number and scale of Golden Immortals and above in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace far surpassed that of the previous Dao Court. On the occasion of this great battle, the forces of the Dao lineage that had been observing from afar finally witnessed it with their own eyes.
Especially when the nine Quasi-Saint Emperors appeared together, the feeling they gave was nothing but shock and awe!
Originally, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, which was highly underestimated and believed to be doomed, has now caused many high-level forces to reconsider their stance.
Moreover, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance has a large number of forces remaining in the main hall of the sect. It can be said that even if the Heavenly Human Race is powerful, it is still impossible to break through the mountain protection formation guarded by nine Quasi-Saint Emperors in a short period of time.
Both sides have been fighting for half a month, with attacks and defenses, and neither can overcome the other.
Outside the light curtain of the formation, Emperor Baiyuan turned his head and looked at the increasing number of Multi-Storied Heavenly Boats in the distant void, sighing with a serious expression.
The power displayed by the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has greatly exceeded the expectations of the high-level Heavenly Human Race, but they still have confidence in breaking through the sect's mountain protection formation, it just takes more time.
However, now that so many forces from the Daoist tradition have come to watch, and there are many Quasi-Saint Emperors among them, the high-level Heavenly Human Race is somewhat uneasy.
If they suddenly join forces to attack when the Heavenly Human Race is exhausted to a certain extent, it is hard to say what the consequences will be. Perhaps this major operation will fail?
Not to mention the Demon Race descendants' legion lurking billions of miles away in the void, shrouded in heavy dark clouds. There are more than one or two Quasi-Saint Emperor Monarch Level auras inside, and they may suddenly launch a massacre at any time.
For the sake of caution, only about seventy percent of the powerful Heavenly Human Race are participating in the attack on the mountain protection formation, and the rest are held back as reserve forces in case of emergencies.
In this way, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace side can defend more easily. As long as they don't make any mistakes, they can hold out against the Heavenly Human Race for decades.
"...Maybe this operation will be in vain again?"
Emperor Baiyuan had a foreboding feeling. After all, the Extreme Void Starry Sky was not their home field. It was only natural that such a big battle would be targeted by these forces from the Daoist tradition.
At this moment, the situation inside the light curtain of the formation suddenly changed. A black sword rainbow, thousands of miles long, as dark as ink, and as agile as a cloud dragon, soared into the sky. Wherever it passed, the temperature in the surrounding void dropped, and even the laws of space seemed to be frozen and shattered.
The black sword rainbow appeared and disappeared in the air. Before the Quasi-Saint Emperors on the other side could react, it rushed into the depths of the Heavenly Human Race's formation and suddenly split into thousands of sharp sword auras, crazily tearing and killing in all directions, causing chaos in the depths of the formation and screams of agony.
Many Heavenly Human Race Taiyi Golden Immortals who couldn't dodge in time were torn apart, body and soul, without exception. The situation of the Great Principal Golden Immortals was slightly better, but they were still seriously injured and had to leave the formation to heal in the Multi-Storied Heavenly Boats.
Two senior Quasi-Saint Emperors of the Heavenly Human Race angrily attacked. A statue of a gluttonous beast, golden and red, exuding a strong wild and primitive aura, flew out and grew to tens of thousands of zhang in the wind. Its giant mouth opened and swallowed the sword auras that were rampaging in all directions.
However, in just a short while, over a hundred Taiyi Golden Immortals from the Heavenly Human Race had perished, and some Great Principal Golden Immortals were also lost. The number of injured was even greater, forcing them to withdraw from the battle formation.
Emperor Baiyuan frowned. At first glance, this loss may not seem significant, but it couldn't withstand the continuous attacks from the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. If this dragged on, the Heavenly Human Race would suffer heavy losses.
Moreover, the defense of the mountain protection formation was almost one-sided. As long as the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had Quasi-Saint Emperors with sufficient cultivation, they could easily bypass the formation and launch attacks on the Heavenly Human Race's powerful cultivators.
"Should we... just give up this operation and retreat to the Illusory Mist Secret Realm?"
Such thoughts crossed Emperor Baiyuan's mind, but he quickly dismissed them. He had no say in this matter. As long as the ancestors did not agree, they would fight to the last member of the clan.
Inside the light curtain of the mountain protection formation.
"...Master, the support forces from the Buddhist sect and the Ji family have already arrived. They are asking how we should proceed next?"
Immortal Lord Huan Die hurriedly approached and reported to Mu Yinghua, who was overseeing the operation of the grand formation in the clouds.
"Do they...willingly submit to our command and arrangements?" Mu Yinghua asked calmly. They were called reinforcements, but who knows if they might have ulterior motives and suddenly betray them at a critical moment? In the past, such things were not uncommon in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Although the relationship between these two families and Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had been good in the past, as the Supreme Master, Mu Yinghua had to take responsibility for the future and destiny of the sect and consider all possible factors.
The consequences of making mistakes would be the destruction of the sect's foundation, the lives of billions of disciples, and the annihilation of millions of years of glory. Therefore, she dared not make such a low-level mistake.
"Yes, that Miao Xin Buddha and Ji Qingluan from the Ji family have both expressed their willingness to hand over command and unconditionally obey all arrangements made by Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace!" Immortal Lord Huan Die said with certainty.
Emperor Xin Yu's eyes flickered. If they were truly willing to hand over their elite forces to others for command, regardless of any other intentions, this attitude was indeed acceptable.
"In that case, let them wait nearby for now! We don't have much pressure here and can hold on completely! Let them help keep an eye on those idle and scheming forces, especially the Demon Race descendants' legion. After repelling the Heavenly Human Race's attack, we can properly thank them!" Emperor Xin Yu said. If these two forces had not betrayed their past friendship, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace should also show the appropriate goodwill and not let their allies feel cold.
This time, the Ji family brought over hundreds of Multi-Storied Heavenly Boats, led by Ji Qingluan. She had just returned from the Hongmeng Chaos and hadn't had a moment to rest before receiving this task from her older brother, so she hurriedly rushed over.
"...Alright, then let's do as they say!" After receiving Mu Yinghua's reply, Ji Qingluan immediately expressed her willingness to comply in the main cabin of the Jingyu Floating Boat.
On the other side, Miao Xin, the Buddha Lord of the Mirror Moon Zen Forest, made a similar arrangement.
In any case, as long as they helped Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace safely overcome this crisis, the strategic mutual trust between the two families would inevitably deepen. There should also be hope for various cooperative matters centered around Qin Muling to be achieved.
...
In the depths of the Hongmeng Chaos.
Qin Muling and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao were still intensively killing various chaotic creatures and searching for opportunities. So far, their achievements were brilliant.
With the assistance of a massive amount of life essence crystal, the 20th Azure Lotus leaf shadow of the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus finally fully manifested and stabilized.
"Luck plunder."
This was the new innate divine ability Qin Muling had obtained. With it, anyone who harbored strong hostility towards Qin Muling or anyone he actively targeted would silently have their own luck and fortune absorbed and plundered by him, without any means of detecting it in advance or evading it.
With this ability, plundering the luck and fortune of countless high-level immortals, it could be foreseen that Qin Muling's luck would become even more magnificent and unimaginable.
