Chapter 769 Clearing the Field and Swallowing the Whole

As Yue Hanzhang's voice faded away.

It is likely that he had previously established sufficient influence among moderate families through the Chamber of Commerce alliance.

Almost instantly.

The ancestral kings then emerged from the sacred realms where these moderate families resided and charged relentlessly toward the ancient battlefield.

of course.

Having the power of words alone is not enough to send your disciples to the killing scene.

The key lies in Yue Hanzhang's statement.

He didn't directly use the grand trend of the Golden Age or the righteousness of the Dao Alliance and the human race to pressure people.

Such rhetoric is too vague and its content is too far removed from reality.

Yue Hanzhang merely pointed out the current state of affairs where moderate families are merely watching the show.

The infighting within the conservative family was severe.

At this moment, it seems like they are watching a play from the dry bank, which is quite lively.

But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Just like how Yue Hanzhang's secrets were leaked from a close aristocratic family like the Sang family in Wuzhou.

The distinction between conservative and moderate families is not so clear-cut.

Once the infighting and bloodshed between the die-hard aristocratic families escalates, it's as if more disciples and scions are being brought back from the ancient battlefield; they will instinctively seek to recruit more combat power to their side.

From one or two individuals with private acquaintances, to several established families with clear vested interests and past friendships.

Even considering the opposing side, the recent sale of Dao Sea Spiritual Items by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has effectively sown discord among the stubborn aristocratic families.

For moderate families to stand on the dry shore for too long, it's inevitable that they'll get burned.

In fact, the more disciples and followers they have stationed in the Holy Realm, the easier it is for them to be drawn into such a vortex.

Yue Hanzhang pointed out the future prospect that seemed inevitable.

And it offered another solution for moderate families—

On top of the previous intensity, more disciples and ancestral kings will be brought into the ancient battlefield!

The bloody war between humans and demons has never diminished in intensity since it began.

The manpower that the stubborn aristocratic families had previously withdrawn was only made up for by the explosive improvement of the cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage.

Now that the infighting among the die-hard families has intensified and the resources they can muster are dwindling, it is inevitable that more moderate families will be brought in to replenish their strength.

and.

This is tantamount to handing over the "righteous cause of the Dao Alliance" as a protective talisman to these moderate aristocratic families—

"You stubborn aristocratic families have no vision. It's one thing for you to have internal strife and chaos during the bloody war between humans and demons."

"The responsibilities you abandon are being borne by us, the moderate families."

"Now they want to spread the flames of their internal strife to us."

"Have you no shame? Get lost! Don't touch me!"

With this premise of righteousness.

Even though the infighting among the die-hard families had escalated to the point of brain-dead conflict, as long as they still had a brain, they knew that the war should not be extended to the moderate families who were already "doing their utmost" to maintain the status quo on the ancient battlefield.

If anything were to happen again at that time, it would truly be a disregard for the overall situation and a complete severance from the entire Dao Alliance.

It was precisely because of this extremely short period of time that he realized just how promising the path Yue Hanzhang had pointed out was.

In addition, Yue Hanzhang himself held considerable influence within a moderate family.

This led to the situation where all the ancestral kings flocked to the ancient battlefield.

This is also the result that Yue Hanzhang wanted to see.

Often, the more chaos expands and the more forces and ancestral kings are included, the more "chaotic" it becomes.

Some things are best done in moderation.

Currently, it is still an internal strife among the conservative aristocratic families, or more accurately, an internal strife between the Wang family of Xiguan and those other aristocratic families who are gradually becoming bloodthirsty, with the intensity gradually escalating.

However, once the war escalated, it also dragged in the moderate families.

Then it would no longer be an internal strife centered around a few aristocratic families, but a true internal strife encompassing the entire Dao Alliance and the human race!

at that time.

It's not just the Dao Alliance headquarters that needs to act as the referee, make its voice heard, and mediate between the various parties.

Along with the various powerful families who are now blinded by rage and acting like madmen, as long as they still have their brains, they will probably cool down on their own, gradually reduce the intensity of their attacks, and eventually fight their way to the negotiating table.

This is not the situation Yue Hanzhang wanted to see.

Only by keeping the battle confined to the internal affairs of the die-hard aristocratic families can the intensity of this internal strife escalate without limit, eventually reaching a point where they are fighting tooth and nail and cannot stop even if they want to.

Now, Yue Hanzhang has left the borders of the Dao Alliance and is stationed at the ancient battlefield.

Even the moderate aristocratic families who were watching the show from the sidelines were summoned to the ancient battlefield by Yue Hanzhang.

The entire vast territory of the Dao Alliance has now been cleared.

The stage has been set up.

Next, all Yue Hanzhang could do was look forward to the powerful and influential troublemaking abilities of the stubborn aristocratic families, led by the Wang family of Xiguan.

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

Yue Hanzhang only needed to wait quietly. And so...

He calmly turned around, crossed the entire battle line again, and looked in the direction of the demon race.

The Crane King, which had just condensed into the true yang sun by reflecting the demonic radiance, has already returned to the territory of the demon race under the protection of the ancestral lineage saint kings.

Crane King's aura was somewhat weak; his ancestral Saint King-level demonic body appeared listless and lacking in vitality.

Clearly, Yue Hanzhang's powerful strike had left wounds on its body and spirit.

Throughout the entire process, the Crane King didn't even get a chance to retaliate.

This is a silent deterrent.

Despite his self-cultivation, Yue Hanzhang still possessed a sliver of the fighting strength that allowed him to contend with the Ancestral Saint King, showing no signs of decline.

This kind of subtle and ambiguous display of strength is the most powerful in terms of deterrence and intimidation.

Even the ancestral lineage saint kings could not be completely certain whether the claim that Yue Hanzhang was "becoming just another ordinary person," which had already spread from the stubborn aristocratic families to the demon race, was true or false.

then.

Faced with Shi Yuehanzhang's threatening words just now.

The ancestral lineage of the holy kings should or should not respond.

They simply replaced the Crane King with the most powerful Ape King, and as the Crane King returned to the demon realm to recuperate, the "old and experienced demon" Lion King was rushing back from the demon realm to the ancient battlefield to take charge.

Thus, the Ancestral Saint King silently took up his post again in the rear of the various passes and nodes of the demon race on the ancient battlefield front.

Behind the battle lines of the Human Alliance, and with Yue Hanzhang, who is now the only one stationed there, a kind of confrontation situation has been formed, with "demons surrounding them".

It seems that the demon race has made a great show of force without making a sound.

But without a word, they tacitly accepted Yue Hanzhang's entry.

The more impressive and attention-grabbing this standoff becomes, the more it proves their "backing down" nature—that they actually don't want to fight Yue Hanzhang to the death.

But this relatively peaceful situation is exactly what Yue Hanzhang, who is determined to peacefully navigate this period of reflection, is happy to see.

then.

Under the watchful eyes of the Ancestral Saint Kings, Yue Hanzhang and the cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage nodded in greeting before turning around and making a short crossing towards the rear of the Dao Alliance's human front.

then.

On the "summit" of a desolate star, Yue Hanzhang sat peacefully, his position echoing that of the Ape King across the entire battle line.

As expected, Yue Hanzhang's actions relieved all the ancestral lineage saint kings who had been eyeing him with predatory intent.

He really started to "cultivate his character".

This standoff seems to be a situation that everyone can accept.

and so.

As Yue Hanzhang sat cross-legged atop the mountain, he spread his unified kingly Daoist aura horizontally across the rear of the entire battle line, smoothing out the Sumeru power that Crane King had just unleashed.

Even the aura of a kingly Dao was slightly "off track," hovering high above the battle lines of the two races, but it did not affect the bloody battle between the two races.

Faced with Yue Hanzhang's seemingly minor mistake, the ancestral holy kings of the demon race acted as if they couldn't see it, without being overly critical, and allowed Yue Hanzhang to radiate his Daoist aura.

And this moment.

Yue Hanzhang, sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop, blinked.

His gaze drifted into that unique perspective.

The true "precipitation" and the true "feast for the senses" begin at this moment!
Aside from the brief moment when Yue Hanzhang broke through the demon realm and resonated with the surviving souls and spirits in the ancient battlefield, there was no other instance of such a connection.

Throughout the entire bloody battle, the souls and remains of 99% of the ancestral kings were suspended above this ancient battlefield in the form of perfectly round purple-gold threads.

and.

Because these remnants of souls were already of extremely high life essence at the Dragon Diagram Outer Realm, even at the moment of their death, wisps of soul light began to dissipate throughout the boundless Dao Sea.

However, the profound essence of the divine soul still determined that even those ancestral kings who died in the early period still maintained a very high degree of integrity in their divine soul remains, which could resonate with Yue Hanzhang's mechanical brain.

and.

As Yue Hanzhang spread his Daoist aura to soothe the Sumeru power, he also subtly integrated the Daoist aura of his "Step into the Void True Scripture" into the Sumeru power behind him.

All of a sudden.

Extremely fine cracks, fused with every strand of Sumeru power, silently appeared in many places.

Such a Sumeru rift is so deep that even a wisp of magical power can hardly pass through it.

However, this is enough to transmit the rhythm of the simultaneous resonance of the ultimate mind to a more distant direction.

The resonance of the mechanical brain is inherently separated by distance.

However, the blessing of the Daoist rhyme of the "Step to Emptiness True Scripture" is equivalent to condensing the distance of time and space, and adding a signal amplifier to the mechanical brain.

A massive torrent of purple-gold water transformed into an endless ocean, converging upon the mechanical brain.

Each torrent itself signifies the birth of a mechanical nascent soul.

Similarly, this also means the integration of a massive amount of spiritual energy and the influx of a large volume of data traffic from the diverse styles of the demon race.

In addition, there's the data traffic generated by Yue Hanzhang selling Dao Hai spiritual objects and ancient books and classics he was engrossed in in logistics work.

And the daily convergence of spiritual energy anchored in medical medicine and the three Taoist temples.

at last.

Sitting cross-legged atop the mountain, Yue Hanzhang, who had silently devoured the entire ancient battlefield, also initiated the largest-scale self-iteration and sublimation in history at the same time!
