Chapter 1002: Freedom of Movement
s finished!”Seeing this demonic pill, Jiang Yun couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, but he quickly reacted. He remembered that when he was in the Nine-Colored Realm, he had sent the demon beast...As the battle raged on the ground, in the sky, the nine golden swords of the Slaying God Temple, each stretching for thousands of meters, and the twelve-faced black and white checkerboard trembled violently.
Although most of the cultivators had already left, several people were still standing on top.
At this moment, they each activated these golden swords and chessboards, charging them towards the fifty-four heavenly ships in the sky.
Fifty-four Skyfaring Vessels surged forward, their prow manned by tribesmen of the Wasteland. Each sneered with malicious intent as they channeled their own power and the runes etched upon their vessels, charging headfirst into battle.
Only Jiang Yun's Sky-Piercing Ship remained in place, untouched.
And Ginger Cloud naturally hadn't participated in the battle yet.
Although word of Ginger Cloud's name had reached both the Slaughter God Temple and the Three Great Clans, he had always remained in seclusion and acted with deliberate low-profile. Therefore, even many within the Reincarnation and Chaos Clans had never truly seen Ginger Cloud, let alone the Slaughter God Temple.
Moreover, on such a vast battlefield, he was sitting atop the sky-reaching ship, overlooking everything. Thus, few people noticed his presence, and naturally, no one dared to challenge him.
Jiang Yun's gaze was fixed on the millions of cultivators who had already begun fighting below. Even someone as calm as him felt a great shock at this moment.
Such a large-scale war involved almost all of the strongest individuals from thousands of worlds.
If he had not been in this dream, he would probably never have had the chance to see it, let alone experience it firsthand.
However, although such wars are extremely grand in scale, the lives within them become insignificant.
Although the war has just begun and the armies of both sides have only just experienced a brief skirmish, at least hundreds of lives have already been lost.
Although this war, fought between the three races to protect their homes from the God-Slaying Temple that sought to destroy them, appears on the surface to be a righteous one for the three races.
But in reality, war has never been clearly black and white.
After all, based on Jiang Yun's personal experience in this illusionary realm, one can see the high-and-mighty and domineering style of the Annihilation Nine Clans.
Just like the Wastelanders, they call everyone who submits "slaves," and anyone who refuses to submit is forcibly killed. Where's the justice in that
For the Ji Mie Jiu Zu, the Slaughter God Temple is an evil invader, but for the Slaughter God Temple, the Ji Mie Jiu Zu are also nine tyrannical overlords who rule this world with force.
Even controlling their cultivation's lifeblood, preventing them from advancing to higher realms, forcing them to rebel.
Therefore, right and wrong in war are relative, depending on which side you are on.
Since Jiang Yun chose the Annihilation of Nine Clans, now he can only harden his heart.
Besides Jiang Yun, many others did not join the great battle.
For example, the sacred objects of the Five Great Tribes, such as Tianluo and Huangjunyan!
The artifacts of the five great clans are equivalent to ultimate weapons. Their true purpose is not attack, but deterrence.
After all, once a sacred artifact is fully activated, the destruction it can cause is absolutely devastating. Its power is too great, indiscriminate between friend and foe. Therefore, unless it comes to the very last moment, neither side dares to act rashly.
But as soon as one party activates a sacred relic, the other is bound to retaliate immediately.
As the commander of the three major clans this time, Tianluo's task was to control the actions of six million cultivators.
So he needed not join the battlefield himself, but stood in the air, overlooking the battle below, continuously issuing one command after another from his mouth.
Around him stood over a hundred members of the three tribes, each using jade slips, battle flags, and other means to relay his orders to various squads on the battlefield.
This also made Jiang Yun once again admire Tianluo, even feeling that Tianluo's awakening before the great war and threatening himself was, in a sense, actually helping him.
To command the actions of six million cultivators simultaneously, I couldn't possibly do it myself. Even if I could, I would inevitably make mistakes in the midst of such chaos.
In such a great war, even a small mistake could cost hundreds of lives.
However, Heaven's demeanor was relaxed. Commands flowed from his mouth like flowing clouds and water, clearly indicating that he was handling such a large battle with ease.
Of course, this is also related to Tian Luo awakening to his own identity.
If it were the Old Demon, even if he had gone through countless battles and his heart was as hard as iron, he would absolutely be unable to remain as calm and composed as Tian Luo.
As the saying goes, "A bystander sees clearly." When it comes to Tian Luo, don't be fooled by his title of "Wild Elder," he's essentially an outsider. Even if every member of the Wild Clan were wiped out, he wouldn't feel a shred of remorse.
Therefore, standing as an observer and without any pressure, he was able to command the battle with more ease.
As for Huang Junyan's gaze, it was fixed solely on the black palace in the sky.
Evidently, his target is only Dao Zun!
Of course, he wouldn't dare to charge into the palace and attack the Daoist master. Who knows what kind of protection there might be within the palace walls
The Daoist Sovereign doesn't appear, he won't move. But as soon as the Daoist Sovereign appears, he will naturally go up to greet him. Anyway, the war below doesn't need him to worry about it.
On the side of the Temple of Slaughter, there were also many people who did not participate in the war. Although Jiang Yun saw all these people, he didn't know them, so after just a glance, he withdrew his gaze.
After staring silently for a while, Jiang Yun's gaze also turned to the Divine Slaying Hall in the sky. He said to himself: "The three great powerhouses of the opponent, Dao Zun, mysterious commander, and monster cultivator, didn't even show up!"
However, apart from the unknown whereabouts of that demonic cultivator, both Dao Zun and the mysterious commander should be within the palace. They should be transmitting orders via voice transmission!
Although the army of the Slaying Gods Temple appears to be acting in a very haphazard manner, in reality their offense and defense also have a certain order. It is clear that someone is secretly directing them.
This commander must be the mysterious main commander!
Moreover, he took refuge in the Temple of Tyrant Slayer, greatly enhancing his safety.
To kill him, one must first eliminate the eighteen Black Dragons. Next, they must breach the defenses of the Divine Slayer Temple, and perhaps even face a Daoist Lord in the end.
To win a battle of this magnitude, the best way is to kill the enemy commander.
Once the commander falls, the monks under his command will be leaderless. Even if someone else steps up to take his place, any delay could have fatal consequences.
Therefore, the hundred members of the Three Tribes surrounding Lao Huang were not only there to help him deliver commands, but more importantly, to protect him. Even Jiang Yun saw the figure of Huang Yi among them!
"We must find a way to force the mysterious commander of the God-Slayer's Hall out and kill them."
"Since you refuse to show yourselves, I'll take this opportunity to weaken your strength first. When one side's strength falls drastically, you will inevitably come out!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun had already spoken in a low voice: "Yi Zheng!"
"Here!"
Yi Zheng and the others saw that their comrades had already begun to bravely fight the enemy, and they were all filled with passion, eager to join the battlefield as soon as possible.
But just as Gingercloud remained silent, they didn't dare to act rashly. Therefore, hearing Gingercloud's voice now, Yi Zheng instantly shivered and readily agreed.
"For now, you're under the command of Aragami. Join the battlefield and act freely, but always prioritize your own safety! I'll be there shortly."
Hearing Ginger Cloud's order, Yi Zheng and the others couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. "Then what about you, sir"
"I, too, am free to move about!"
