Chapter 98: The Meeting of Tianyuan World

Chapter 98: The Meeting of Tianyuan World In the Flame Immortal Continent, massive floating ships and Immortal Emperor-level beasts soared through the sky, heading toward a crucial meeting place with great urgency. Among those traveling was Chang Tong, one of the 21 leaders of the Trade Alliance. Sitting on his large ship, he gazed at the horizon with a troubled expression and muttered to himself, "I hope this will turn out well..."

A few days ago, the Trade Alliance had received an invitation from the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty for the five strongest forces in Tianyuan World to meet. The content of the letter spoke of defending Tianyuan World. Chang Tong had been chosen as the representative by none other than "that foolish dragon," "that useless demon," "the lustful wolf," "the sharp-tongued poisoner," "the useless Heavenly Emperor," and many others, making it impossible for him to refuse this responsibility. Thus, he found himself heading to the Flame Immortal Continent on this fateful day.

Before long, he arrived at his destination. The meeting room was luxurious and adorned with exquisite decorations. In the center stood a grand round table, with the names of the attending factions clearly marked on each seat.

Already seated at the first three chairs were representatives of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty: Feng Yi, Empress of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty; Zihao, leader of the Immortal Sword Emperor's Sacred Land; and Xue Ting, head of the Xue Immortal Emperor Family. Though all three appeared calm and composed, a subtle tension and concern lingered beneath their outward serenity.

Chang Tong took his seat, marked with the name of the Trade Alliance. Xue Ting glanced at him and asked, "Will anyone from the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect be attending?"

Feng Yi slowly shook her head and responded in a calm, even tone, "I'm not sure. Let's begin the meeting. I have crucial information that everyone must know."

Suddenly, a shadow appeared from the void, swiftly entering the room without making a sound. The figure silently sat in the chair assigned to the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect. The sudden arrival caused everyone to react with surprise, and the royal guards prepared to attack, but Feng Yi raised her hand, stopping them.

"Hold," she said in a firm yet soft voice. "That is the Elder Protector from the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect."

The guards halted their actions immediately, returning to their posts as Feng Yi turned to look at the shadowed figure. She then addressed the group, "Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting."

Zihao, Xue Ting, and Chang Tong glanced at the figure cloaked in black, their thoughts drifting to the war where all forces had united to destroy the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect. It had nearly ended in defeat for them, with heavy casualties. However, it had been a trap within a trap set by Jiang Yun to capture the Heavenly Dao and expose the plans of the Cosmic Dao. At the war's end, Jiang Yun had even helped revive many of the fallen, leaving no lingering hatred or animosity between the factions.

The room remained tense and silent. The discussion was not just a typical talk; it was about determining the future of Tianyuan World and preparing for the looming threat. Feng Yi broke the silence, standing and speaking in a firm voice.

"I have received reports from our scouts. Right now, wars are breaking out across the Tianyuan Universe, but it's mainly weaker worlds fighting each other. As for the stronger worlds... it seems they are in talks about how to divide Tianyuan World amongst themselves."

Zihao, who had been silent up until now, furrowed his brows in anger. He remained composed, but his expression showed his displeasure. Chang Tong, leader of the Trade Alliance, finally spoke up.

"Do you know which worlds are involved?" he asked with concern.

Feng Yi nodded slightly, responding seriously, "There are approximately 4,811 worlds involved, and among them are powerful worlds like the Spirit World, Giant World, Shadow World, Serpent Heaven, and many others. Most of these worlds have no fewer than 5,000 Emperors, and the rewards for killing us are highly enticing. With each passing day, those rewards only increase."

Chang Tong listened carefully, his brows furrowing more before he asked again, "When will they begin their attack?"

Feng Yi paused for a moment, thinking carefully before answering, "Based on the information I've received, it could be within the next 10 days... at the latest, within a month."

Her words caused a heavy atmosphere to descend upon the room. Everyone felt the pressure of the impending war. Xue Ting, head of the Xue Immortal Emperor Family, gazed at Feng Yi seriously.

"And how large is the enemy force?" Xue Ting asked in a calm yet resolute tone.

"At the very least, their forces include no fewer than 24 million Immortal Emperors," Feng Yi answered, "and at most, the number could reach 100 million if more worlds continue to join them. As for those below the Emperor level, there are countless billions..."

Heavy sighs filled the room. The looming war felt like an unstoppable force that could lead to Tianyuan World's complete destruction. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Zihao, who had remained quiet, fixed his sharp gaze on Feng Yi. "Do you have a plan in mind?"

Feng Yi nodded slowly, responding with determination, "I think we should strike first."

Chang Tong frowned slightly as he listened, then spoke, "That might have been a good idea... if it were three months ago."

The room turned to Chang Tong in confusion. He glanced at Feng Yi before continuing, "But now, every force from the other worlds is prepared. They are likely waiting to strike at us as well. If we attack first, it may accelerate our demise."

Feng Yi fell silent, realizing that Chang Tong was right. Striking first might hasten the enemy's retaliation. She let out a light sigh before speaking again.

"Then we must find a way to defend ourselves and prepare for the war that's coming."

The tension in the room grew heavier as the leaders discussed how to defend Tianyuan World against the overwhelming forces from other worlds. Surprisingly, no one even entertained the thought of fleeing.

Suddenly, the Elder Protector from the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect broke the silence with a calm but resonant voice that filled the room.

"The Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect will launch a series of covert attacks. We will send 1,000 Immortal Emperor Formation Masters to set traps that will reduce the cultivation of the enemy forces by two levels and create other formations to help you kill them more easily. Your task is to hold them off for as long as possible while we secretly attack their worlds. Do you agree?"

Hearing the mention of 1,000 Immortal Emperor Formation Masters from the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, the others were shocked. Feng Yi narrowed her eyes at the Elder Protector, filled with curiosity. "Are you sure? You truly have 1,000 Immortal Emperor Formation Masters?"

The Elder Protector did not hesitate. He smiled slightly and replied, "Of course. You can rest assured."

Feng Yi nodded, somewhat reassured by the Elder Protector's confidence. She turned to the other leaders in the room. "What do you all think?"

They all nodded in agreement. Chang Tong, leader of the Trade Alliance, nodded as well. "It seems this plan is acceptable."

"Then let's sign a Heavenly Blood Pact," Chang Tong suggested to solidify the plan and ensure no one would betray the agreement.

However, the Elder Protector chuckled softly. "That won't be necessary... because we've already been abandoned by the heavens." With those words, he disappeared into the void, leaving the rest of the room in stunned silence.

Feng Yi sighed lightly before saying, "Alright... in that case, let's start assigning our tasks."

The four leaders then proceeded to discuss the distribution of responsibilities in detail. Feng Yi took charge of organizing the defense of Tianyuan World, while the others reviewed their forces and resources, including weapon production, medical supplies, and strengthening the defenses. The preparations lasted for three days.

Outside Tianyuan World, a massive ship hovered in space, flying the banner of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect. The fierce and imposing characters on the flag reflected the sect's immense power.

Inside the ship, Jiang Yun stood, gazing at the peaceful expanse of space. Surrounding him were key leaders of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect: Mu Shuyuan, Kong Lin, Shi Guang, Ming Hai, Long Teng, Chang Qian, Chang Ming, and other Peak Lords. Each of them possessed the cultivation level of a peak Immortal Emperor. In total, there were 30,000 Immortal Emperors, all of them extraordinary in their power.

As Jiang Yun watched the quiet space, he received a message from the Elder Protector. He smiled, though there was a hint of regret. Originally, he had intended to share the Three Foundational Techniques of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect with the entire Tianyuan World, but he hesitated. He feared that others with systems of their own might detect these techniques, and so, for now, he held back. He still needed the trust of Feng Yi and the others for his future plans. Pushing the thought aside, he looked forward and smiled.

As the ship moved toward a distant world in the dark expanse of the universe, Jiang Yun's voice echoed powerfully from the ship's prow.

"Ten Thousand Stars Enclosing the World."

In an instant, an immense surge of energy shot through the sky, and darkness enveloped the world below.
