Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats Chapter 916: Pincer Attack

Chapter 916: Pincer Attack

Editor: Henyee Translations

With the commencement of the great war by the three realms, the situation immediately turned exceedingly dire.

The combined forces of the three realms launched their full strength without the initial probing tactics of their first a.s.sault.

Dao Fusion cultivators from the foreign realms, wielding the destructive power to ravage heavens and earth, clashed fiercely with the cultivators of the Floodgate Realm.

Their bloodline divine powers and techniques clashed across the void.

Some Dao Mastery Saints from the foreign realms even managed to slay Dao Integration cultivators from the human side in an instant, forcing the humans to use their life-saving trump cards to barely fend them off.

In the Eastern Sky Domain, the five great demon beast saints led their forces to the barrier once again.

Saint Pingnan, with his earth-shattering steps, left mountains and rivers in ruins.

Saint t.i.tan Peak, carrying mountains on his back, breached the void with his arrival.

Saint Inferno, leaving the ground scorched earth in his wake, turned everything to ashes.

Saint Sky Bearer stirred up storms, covering the Floodgate Realm with ominous clouds.

And Saint Rosy Cloud of the Sky-devouring Serpent Clan, traversing thousands of miles through the void, devoured everything in her path.

Scouts responsible for reconnaissance within the Eastern Sky Domain were quickly discovered and eliminated by the five great demon saints.

One of the scouts managed to send a warning back to the camp just before his demise.

Enraged members of the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley soon crossed the void to confront the demon beast forces within and outside the Eastern Sky Domain.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and their party had not yet returned, leaving the defensive forces in this domain significantly weakened.

The defense was temporarily led by Leng Yuehua and Wen Yuxiao, experienced Dao Integration cultivators, who, along with the protective grand array, ensured that the area wouldn’t be easily overrun.

Still, they harbored worries, uncertain about the situation within the rest of the Floodgate Realm.

Before they arrived, requests for reinforcements had already been sent to the rear of the Haoran Sect.

They hoped for a swift response, as the enemy’s momentum was ferocious.

Rumble!

The demon beast army did not waste any time. Their attacks began to explode on the barrier.

With a wave of her hand, Leng Yuehua swiftly positioned the cultivators behind her, and with surging magical power, the grand protective array was activated once again.

However, due to her lacking the foundational knowledge in arrays compared to Jiang Chengxuan, it was slightly less effective.

Outside the barrier, the five great demon saints unleashed their powers, igniting another fierce battle around the barrier.

Soon, news of the three realms’ renewed offensive reached the higher echelons, with messages for help flooding the communications.

In the council hall, where discussions about reinforcing the new world and exterminating the abyssal demons were underway, everyone was taken aback.

The three realms had launched a full-scale attack as well?

The abyssal demons had just invaded in full force a moment ago. Could this be a coincidence?

The situation in the Floodgate Realm, which had been improving, suddenly found itself in a dire strait, caught between two powerful forces.

In an instant, everyone present sensed something amiss.

They were experienced figures in the cultivation world, well-versed in human nature, let alone the inherently untrustworthy foreign races.

The demon beasts, deepsea nomads, and eldars must have made contact with the abyssal demons, likely even striking a deal to jointly oppose the people of the Floodgate Realm.

“These foreign races have actually conspired with the abyssal demons!” the Daolord of the Pantheon Sect slammed his fist down in anger.

Everyone’s expression turned grave and filled with indignation.

“These foreign tribes truly have no shame, a bunch of beasts!”

The abyssal demons were considered a common enemy of all cultivators, purely malevolent beings that knew only destruction and slaughter.

Conspiring with such ent.i.ties was despised by all cultivators.

Throughout their lives, cultivators sought the Dao, with the abyssal demons being ant.i.thetical to the Dao, meriting unanimous condemnation and eradication.

For foreign cultivators to collude with them was akin to courting death.

Yet, the reality before them indicated that before the abyssal demons could potentially consume the three foreign realms, the Floodgate Realm would first have to endure attacks from both sides, finding itself in a pincer.

The situation now seemed as if they were the condemned race in the spiritual realm, besieged by various races.

“With this, it’s certain we can’t spare any forces from the barrier. What to do about the abyssal demons then?

Moreover, many domains at the barrier also need support, but now we’re completely unable to spare any hands,” said the Daolord of the Divine Shadow Gate with a grave expression.

Silence fell, as the dilemma appeared unsolvable.

“Let’s have the new world retract its defense lines first, stretching the battle line and focusing on defending crucial resource points,” finally spoke Qin Shenwu.

Compared to the Floodgate Realm, despite the abundant resources in the new world, the core interests of all sects lay within the Floodgate Realm, making it paramount.

By stretching the battle line in the new world, they would adopt a defensive strategy, allowing the defenders there to hold out as long as possible.

As long as the precious resource locations were not taken, they didn’t care about other places.

“That’s the only way.”

The Daolord of the Pantheon Sect also agreed with this proposal.

“However, the forces in the new world are still too spa.r.s.e. We need to reinforce them. As for the domains, send orders for mutual support among the domains,” he further added.

The vastness of the nine domains made precise troop movements challenging, necessitating that the sects lend strength to one another.

The situation in the Floodgate Realm quickly turned dire, substantially increasing the pressure on everyone involved.

“Let’s proceed with that plan, everyone. We’re relying on you to mobilize additional forces,” the three Great Daolords said as they concluded the meeting.

Yun Yizhen, Xue Ping, and the others stood up, their expressions grave as they nodded in agreement.

Without any hesitation, the sect leaders hurried off to the place their sect was in charge of guarding.

The grand council hall was left eerily empty and quiet.

This time, the situation in the Floodgate Realm was at its most critical.

At this moment,

Jiang Chengxuan and his companions finally received the news.

The collusion between the three realms and the abyssal demons, launching a full-scale attack on both the new world and the barrier, struck them like thunder.

They all understood the catastrophe facing the Floodgate Realm with the three realms conspiring with the abyssal demons.

Fortunately, they had already eliminated all Dao Integration and above level foreign cultivators within the Floodgate Realm.

Otherwise, an internal rebellion from these foreign cultivators could have led to unimaginable consequences.

“We must hurry back!” Jiang Chengxuan declared solemnly to the group.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“In this battle, we’ve seized many offensive treasures from the foreign races. Let’s dispatch a few people to take them to the new world for defending against the abyssal demons.”

Jiang Chengxuan suddenly had an idea.

Following his arrangement, Thunderclap Valley and the Haoran Sect each dispatched two Dao Integration cultivators to support the new world.

The remaining five, led by Jiang Chengxuan, would rush back to the Eastern Sky Domain at full speed.
