Martial Ascent to Divinity
Chapter 805 - 779: Life or Death
At the Federation meeting, a scene of both division and cooperation appeared between the Eastern and Western camps.
It seemed as if we had returned to the past era of political coldness and economic heat, where various countries denounced Zhou Leng and Dragon Country, yet expressed willingness to sign the Grand Charter.
Because, Zhou Leng truly dared to kill.
And their backers, those Demon Worship Sect Martial Saints, had all fallen.
Everything reverted to the old ways they dealt with Dragon Country, repeatedly crossing the bottom line near Dragon Country.
Look at Jax, who adheres to the baseline of the Grand Charter, then recklessly courts death.
Huang Xuan Pavilion and some intelligence-responsible Dragon Country experts exchanged glances.
They had long known about Zhou Leng’s connection with Jax, but the depth of that relationship was unclear.
Jax overacted a bit.
However, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn’t matter.
Now, Jax has unquestionably become the interim leader of the Eagle Alliance.
With the upcoming election, based on his wealth and his performance in this Federation meeting, it’s almost a sure thing.
Huang Xuan Pavilion also noticed that Jax had been using Demon Spirit Masters of the Ice Snow Divine Sect to expand influence within the Eagle and Seagull Alliances, fostering agents everywhere.
The Demon Worship Sect perfected this tactic, playing it for hundreds of years.
But, as long as the Grand Charter is passed, it’s fine.
That day, in a bustling atmosphere, the United Nations Grand Charter was officially passed.
Although the forces of the Demon Worship Sect were very unwilling, facing dozens of Martial Saints sitting in, they had to bow their heads, restrain their sharpness, and plan slowly.
However, what no one expected was that the next day, Zhou Leng personally assembled a team of Martial Saints and Grandmasters, heading straight for the Eagle Alliance.
In front of the Demi-God Demon Spirit Masters, the Demon Worship Sect had no secrets.
Without the help of Martial Saints, the Demon Worship Sect under the Demi-God level had no capacity for resistance.
Twenty teams, each led personally by a Martial Saint, launched a massive cleansing of the Eagle Alliance Demon Worship Sect.
Better wrongfully kill ten thousand, than let even one go.
The Eagle Alliance people could never have imagined such a massacre would occur in their nation.
Back when Dragon Country dominated the Eagle Alliance to climb to first place, it wasn’t this fearsome.
Time seemed to rewind hundreds of years, only this time, the descendants of the Eagle Alliance natives were treated the same as the original Eagle Alliance natives.
The native Eagle Alliance people with sparse bloodline rejoiced seeing their era’s enemies massacred.
Numerous Demon Worship Sect buildings were torn down, countless Demon Worship Sect organizations dissolved, countless Demon Worship Sect classics burned...
Countless members of the Demon Worship Sect fought to the death in resistance.
To no avail.
Especially those clans that betrayed humanity entirely and joined the Demon Worship Sect, executed without mercy, not leaving a drop of bloodline.
Afterward, the saints descended upon the newly built White House, coercing the Eagle Alliance to sign the "Demon Hunting Agreement."
The agreement stipulated that if the Eagle Alliance couldn’t resolve the Demon Worship Sect in their own country, then Dragon Country would have the right to enter the Eagle Alliance to hunt demons.
Subsequently, the army crossed the Atlantic Ocean, arriving at Parrot Country.
Given Parrot Country was a famously chaotic element of the world, Zhou Leng not only resolved the Demon Worship Sect but also eradicated the royal bloodline, announcing the end of the Parrot Country royal family.
Then, moving east, entering the Seagull Alliance.
After dealing with the Seagull Alliance, arriving at the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, beginning to hunt demons in the desert areas, then going north, acting in Xiong Country, then Elephant Country, the South Seas, Kangaroo Country...
Upon returning to Dragon Country, foreign affairs personnel went to various South Seas countries to issue orders, employing both soft and hard tactics.
Ultimately, designating the vast area from Bai Ling Strait to Kangaroo Country under Dragon Country’s traditional influence.
This grand sweep caused the population of Blue Star to drastically reduce, but it also embedded a fear greater than demons into the hearts of people worldwide.
To respond to the Ten Realms War, this was the only effective means.
Zhou Leng held countless nicknames in various countries.
Benevolent Father, Whip of the Gods, Demon Head of All Heavens, Butcher of Blue Star, Terrifying Martial Saint, Iron-blooded Tyrant...
Zhou Leng didn’t care.
Once the sweep was complete, he returned to the Frost Giant Tree for cultivation.
During the grand sweep, the Ten Emperors’ conflict concluded.
The upper-rank Ten Emperors were claimed by the upper-rank Giant Dragon, Blue Ridge, who with exquisite Dragon God combat skills, overwhelmed heroes.
The upper-rank Demigods were relatively restrained, ultimately only seven perished.
The Peak Ten Emperors’ battle was different because there weren’t many peak demigods of various races.
Therefore, in this fight, peak demigods from various races and Demigod Kings were sent to the same battlefield.
This time, including the Demigod Fierce Beasts.
An unimaginably intense peak melee began.
Peak demigods of various races used every means available, ultimately sacrificing five peak demigods to end the battle.
In the Fierce Beast world, the Giant Python of the Mountain Thousands, with its terrifying thousand-meter-long body, defeated many enemies, ascending to the Ten Emperors.
The third trial of the Ascension Divinity Ladder concluded.
Everyone awaited the fourth trial, but the Ascension Divinity Ladder was slow to provide any hint.
The gods speculated the fourth trial might require some waiting.
At this time, the Demon Giants received news from the Celestial Calamity God.
Celestial Calamity God commanded the Demon Giants to go all out, and other Demon Prison Lords to dispatch as many demons as possible to join the Giants on this "Pale Ancient Road." The specific reason was not given.
The Giant Race quickly got the news and prepared fully, seeking Zhou Leng many times, but never finding him.
Zhou Leng absorbed a large amount of power, having also battled and experiencing the Blue Star grand sweep, receiving an unprecedented level of refining.
What looked like mere slaughter in the grand sweep profoundly impacted people.
The death of so many lives was a huge spiritual shock, the reason many veterans fall into post-war trauma.
Either crushed by spiritual trauma or conquer it to rise further.
Zhou Leng chose the latter.
Continuously entered the Gate of Purgatory, ultimately passing the trial of the fifth layer, the Empty Realm, within nothingness, establishing a complete sense of "self."
Years unchanged, void unshattered.
The Martial Arts Will successfully reached the pinnacle of the Naihai realm, advancing toward the Fourth Realm Solitary Peak Realm.
Zhou Leng further cultivated, gazing at the Gate of Purgatory.
The sixth layer, Death’s Door.
Inhale deeply.
"I want to enter the sixth layer, Death’s Door."
The Gate of Purgatory rotated, sucking Zhou Leng in.
He opened his eyes, feeling uncomfortable, struggled to look down, discovering himself to be a tiny infant, lying in swaddling clothes.
Pale mist shrouded the earth, countless people lay beside the avenue.
Calls, crying, children’s screams filled the ears.
Clip-clop, clip-clop...
Horses’ hooves sounded.
A dark shadow emerged from the mist, fragmented morning light with cavalry charged forward.
Zhou Leng tried with all his might to control his body, but it merely swayed lightly, with no reaction.
The knight on the horse thrust out a spear.
Thump...
The spear pierced through Zhou Leng, lifting him high.
Waa...
Zhou Leng cried uncontrollably, unimaginable pain spreading throughout.
Only one thought in his mind; is this a trial of death or a fool’s errand?
The spear trembled, the body split in two.
Darkness and light flashed, Zhou Leng hurriedly checked carefully.
Phew...
Fortunately, he was an adult now, seemingly bathing using a large cauldron in ancient times, likely a wealthy household.
"Light the fire!"
