Chapter 656: Chapter 627: Evil Suppression Bureau
Cyan Yang Divine Realm.
Billions of great provinces.
All of a sudden.
Over the skies of the Imperial City of Cyan Yang Province, a Celestial Tribulation suddenly appeared; the heavy power of the tribulation pressed down in all directions, many people’s expressions changed, they raised their heads to look at that tribulation power, their eyes filled with shock.
Fortunately, however.
This tribulation power came quickly and vanished just as quickly.
In less than an instant, they saw the tribulation leave the range of the Imperial City and head toward somewhere else.
However.
The sudden appearance of the tribulation still shook the vast Imperial City.
"A fourteenth-step Celestial Tribulation, looks like another powerhouse has broken through to Taiyi Golden Immortal!"
In a certain restaurant, a middle-aged cultivator spoke with a sighing expression.
The fourteenth-step tribulation of each system is different; the one that just appeared was precisely a Taiyi Golden Immortal Tribulation.
The appearance of such a tribulation.
Means that a powerhouse has shattered the thirteenth-step barrier and is breaking through to the fourteenth step.
At this moment.
Sitting opposite the middle-aged cultivator, another cultivator said, "In these ten years, it seems quite a few cultivators in Cyan Yang Province have broken through the fourteenth step. The Divine Court’s strength is growing by the day; I believe the day we defeat the Upper Realm is not far off!"
"It’s true the Divine Court’s strength is increasing, but to want to defeat the Upper Realm is easier said than done!"
"I heard that not long ago another star system fell, many of the powerhouses guarding that star system died in battle, and only a few managed to escape."
"Alas, the Upper Realm’s foundations are deep. If things go on as they are now, I fear the Divine Court’s prospects are far from optimistic."
"Alas—"
When the topic shifted from the tribulation to the war of the Two Realms, the atmosphere inside the entire restaurant became much more oppressive.
From the Upper Realm’s invasion up to now, this war has already lasted a full fifty thousand years.
In these fifty thousand years.
The Two Realms have fought without cease.
Countless powerhouses have rushed to the front lines, only to finally fall on the battlefield.
Over tens of thousands of years, the cultivators who have fallen from Cyan Yang Divine Court are beyond counting; it is far more than just billions.
It is only because the Cyan Yang Divine Court has the entire Divine Realm as its backing, endless living beings across billions of great provinces, that it can support such consumption; if it were an ordinary force, its oil and lamp would have long since run dry.
The genes of a Calamity of Measure war are also deeply engraved into the blood of every person in the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
Even newborn children are able to understand the cruelty of the war of the Two Realms.
At the very beginning.
When facing the Upper Realm’s invasion, the Cyan Yang Divine Court was still able to intercept all of them within the Immortal Realm.
But as more and more Upper Realm powerhouses followed, as many hidden experts successively crossed the Path to Immortality and stepped into the Lower Realm, the pressure on the Cyan Yang Divine Court increased sharply.
Later on.
In the face of the Upper Realm’s pressure.
The Cyan Yang Divine Court also continuously fell back step by step.
Originally the Upper Realm only occupied a single star system, but by now, a hundred thousand star systems have already fallen and have all been brought under the Upper Realm’s control.
This is also no small blow to the Cyan Yang Divine Court.
Many people therefore feel pessimistic.
There is no helping it.
How can the power of a single universe possibly contend with the Three Thousand Cosmos.
However.
Those who are pessimistic are, after all, the minority.
After all, the high command of the Cyan Yang Divine Court are of the pro-war faction, and all the top forces across the billions of great provinces also uphold a pro-war stance; under the leadership of these pro-war high-level figures, morale can naturally be boosted.
Just then.
The street grew noisy.
Everyone looked outside, only to see squads of white-robed cultivators suddenly appear, completely surrounding a certain residential house.
Upon seeing these white-robed cultivators, all their faces changed, as if they had seen something terrifying.
"The Evil Suppression Bureau!"
"Why has the Evil Suppression Bureau appeared here!"
"Could it be—there are Evil Cult cultivators here?"
Just as this thought emerged, they saw intense battle erupt up ahead; several figures burst out from the residence, trying to break through the encirclement.
But before they could truly escape, they saw the many cultivators of the Evil Suppression Bureau strike in unison, attacking those few.
With just a single exchange.
Three of them were directly blasted to death on the spot, leaving only one who erupted with an incomparably powerful strength, shattering all the attacks.
"Dogs of the Evil Suppression Bureau, I hadn’t thought your noses would be this sharp. But with just you small fry, you still think you can stop this seat—"
That cultivator gave a disdainful laugh, and just as he was about to leave, he saw a terrifying power suppressing down from the vault of heaven, freezing the smile on his face as his body plummeted from midair.
Immediately after.
They saw a middle-aged cultivator suddenly appear; his gaze was lofty, his terrifying aura suppressing the void, as if he had completely locked down a domain of space.
"Gu Fang—"
The man’s expression changed drastically.
He had never imagined that Gu Fang, who was clearly guarding the Two Realms battlefield, would suddenly return to the Cyan Yang Divine Court, even less that the other would personally act to capture him.
As for this one’s strength, the cultivator understood it all too well.
In the tens of thousands of years that the war of the Two Realms has raged, although the Cyan Yang Divine Court has been repeatedly forced back by the Upper Realm, the reason it has been able to hold out for tens of thousands of years without collapse is precisely because there is a group of top-tier powerhouses constantly supporting the entire war situation.
Gu Fang.
Is one of them.
This one has guarded the Two Realms battlefield, slaying Upper Realm powerhouses beyond counting; even beings at the level of a half-step Quasi-Immortal King have records of being directly cut down by him.
Such an existence.
Is counted among the top even on the Two Realms battlefield.
So when he saw Gu Fang personally arrive, the other’s heart had already sunk into despair.
"The forebears are fighting in blood on the Two Realms battlefield to win you a space to live. You, as cultivators of the Divine Court, enjoy the shade of the trees they planted, yet you do not think of serving the Divine Court, and instead are willing to take refuge with the Upper Realm and act as its running dogs—have you made ready to receive death?"
Gu Fang’s expression was cold; the way he looked at that cultivator was as if he were looking at a dead man.
The latter’s expression was despairing, and just as he was about to beg for mercy, Gu Fang gave him no chance; with one punch he directly blasted him to death on the spot, leaving not even bones behind.
With this cultivator’s fall, Gu Fang swept a cold gaze across the void, and his figure then vanished.
Only after he and the people of the Evil Suppression Bureau left was the surrounding silence gradually broken.
"Hiss, I didn’t expect there to be Evil Cultists lurking even here in the Imperial City!"
"These past years the Evil Cult has been acting more and more rampant, to actually infiltrate into the Imperial City."
"Humph, so what if they infiltrate the Imperial City, they still ended up being killed on the spot by Elder Gu. Speaking of which, why did Elder Gu suddenly return from the Two Realms battlefield?"
"That you don’t know. I heard that a month ago, Elder Gu fought a Quasi-Immortal King on the Two Realms battlefield; for him to withdraw from the Two Realms battlefield and return here to recuperate now is only natural."
"He fought a Quasi-Immortal King—"
When the vast majority of people heard this news, their faces were full of shock and amazement.
Quasi-Immortal King!
At this level, each one is a hegemon on the Two Realms battlefield; even in the Upper Realm they can suppress a region and serve as the master of a top-tier great power.
Now that Gu Fang has fought a Quasi-Immortal King, for the people of the Cyan Yang Divine Court this is naturally an immense boost to morale.
