Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 924 - 898 The Curtain Falls
Chapter 924: Chapter 898 The Curtain Falls
The light from the battle between the two was like a heavenly tsunami, annihilating the entire space, the light scattering and blurring the vision, gradually making it impossible to see the battlefield.
Only the earth-shattering sounds could be heard coming from the high sky, as if the firmament was being blown apart again and again.
At this moment, everyone could only wait expectantly for the outcome of this great battle.
Soon, the sounds stopped, the light gradually dissipated, and the void gradually quieted down.
Once everything was calm, the void also returned to peace, and there were no more shadows visible. Those two people had directly disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, wondering what on earth had happened. How did they disappear?
Tangyu also returned to the Great Valley Master, and everyone began to discuss fervently.
"Could it be that the two Immortals have ascended to the heavens?"
"It’s possible, maybe they fought to the outer space."
The Great Valley Master looked at Tangyu with full admiration and praise: "Tangyu, you have saved our Ancient Martial World, your achievements are unparalleled and unprecedented."
"Yes, Tangyu, we all have to thank you." The other leaders of the Skies Beyond the Skies also looked over, trying to establish connections with Tangyu. Such a character was worth befriending. No matter what, they could not afford to offend him.
The Great Valley Master asked: "Tangyu, do you know what happened?"
Tangyu shook his head and said, "I don’t know what happened either. Let’s just watch for now. They should be strong beings from the Cultivation World, not real Immortals. I guess this time, they have gone to outer space, perhaps they didn’t want us to see this battle."
The Great Valley Master frowned: "The Cultivation World, there really is a Cultivation World. We’ve pursued it all our lives, never thought it could actually be possible." The Great Valley Master also looked a bit excited.
For those who have sought the Path of the Immortals all their lives, this news was undoubtedly the hottest for them.
"The Cultivation World, really exists. I wonder if we would have the opportunity to enter the Cultivation World."
"Yes, our strength is still too weak, at least we need to have Tangyu’s strength to qualify for a foray into the Cultivation World, right?"
Speaking of Tangyu, it once again made everyone envious. Having received the Pangu legacy and constructed the Yin Yang Dao Foundation, it was destined that he was exceptional. Perhaps only such people were qualified to enter the Cultivation World?
Tangyu said, "Since those two seniors are temporarily unable to attend to this place, these ancient Great Powers also lost human control, we can temporarily ignore them. Now, let’s resolve the issues of the Dark World."
The Great Valley Master nodded: "Indeed, it’s time to resolve it."
"Hmph, the people of the Dark World invade our Ancient Martial World and launch wars wantonly, there’s no need to waste words with them, just kill them all directly." Some were filled with hostility.
Tangyu said, "Everyone, please remain calm, fighting and killing are not the best solutions, continuing to fight will only result in more deaths. If there’s a better way to resolve this, we should use the better way."
Although Tangyu was also displeased with the Dark World, with the current power of the Ancient Martial World, it indeed held an absolute advantage. Not to mention other things, Tangyu alone could probably challenge the entire Dark World.
But such slaughter was not what Tangyu wanted; he was not a madman who loved killing. To make him wipe out all the forces of the Dark World at once, Tangyu couldn’t do that either.
Of course, most importantly, the Dark Lord was Qian Shanxue’s father, and Qian Shanxue was a person of the Dark World. As for Qian Shanxue, Tangyu also had countless threads in his heart, an indescribable feeling.
Hearing Tangyu’s words, everyone fell into a brief silence.
The Great Valley Master said, "To quell this disaster without fighting is naturally the best. For those of us who practice, the most taboo is wanton killing, as that brings too much hostility."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Tangyu looked at the Dark Lord, who returned the gaze with a sullen face.
Tangyu said, "Lord of Darkness, you must be aware of the current situation. Whether it’s war or peace is entirely up to you. I don’t advocate continuing the fight, but if you insist on fighting to the death, then I won’t be polite and don’t mind letting the blood flow like a river here today. Choose between battle or retreat."
The Lord of Darkness had a complex expression as he looked at the others, who evidently had lost their ambition. If the strength was comparable, there would be no reason to back down.
But the problem now is that with Tangyu as an anomaly, the strength has completely tilted in favor of the Ancient Martial World, making any comparison futile. To continue fighting would be a pointless death. To do what is clearly impossible is foolish.
The Lord of Darkness could naturally sense that everyone had a retreating intent. Though they had ambitious plans and confidence for success, no one could have predicted the current state of affairs.
Have we lost?
Is there no longer a chance?
The Lord of Darkness sighed deeply, "Enough, we’ve lost, and there is no chance to turn the tables." Making this decision, he seemed to age considerably, like a pitiful old man.
The Lord of Darkness looked at Tangyu and said, "We can retreat to the Dark World and will never invade your Ancient Martial World again. May this battle thus end, but you must guarantee the safe retreat of all our people back to the Dark World."
Tangyu nodded, "Alright, I promise. As long as you don’t try any tricks, we naturally will not pursue you further. But remember what you said today, and never invade our Ancient Martial World again in the future."
"In truth, if our two worlds connected, it might not necessarily be a bad thing. That way, we could strengthen the communication between our worlds and develop together, enhancing our foundation all the more, wouldn’t it be better?"
The Lord of Darkness scoffed and shook his head, "You don’t understand the situation in our Dark World. If our Dark World had resources as abundant as your Ancient Martial World, would we need to put in so much effort to invade your world? What’s the point of plundering a world for us?" freёnovelkiss-com
Tangyu frowned slightly, "Lord of Darkness, what do you mean by this?"
The Lord of Darkness smiled self-deprecatingly and sighed, "In our Dark World, nature’s spiritual energy began to deplete thirty years ago, and all the major cultivation Holy Lands rapidly withered. This made us panic, and initially, we merely discussed and searched for the cause together. Soon, we discovered a passage, one leading to your Ancient Martial World. We were thrilled to find that there was no sign of depletion in your spiritual energy. Therefore, from that time, we started to plan the invasion of your Ancient Martial World massively."
"Our worries were validated; the cause of the depletion in spiritual energy could never be found, and it continued to deplete. Now—our Dark World no longer has a single Holy Land suitable for cultivation. So, we had no choice but to launch a full-scale invasion of your Ancient Martial World at this time. If our Dark World were suitable for survival and cultivation, would we need to leave our homeland and plunder the resources of your world?"
"We are also just trying to survive. Otherwise, why would we be so willing to go to our deaths? Why is our military so unified? It’s because if we do not invade and plunder, we would perished. If such a situation happened to your Ancient Martial World, how would you respond?"
Tangyu paused, realizing there was such a hidden situation. If it was truly as the Lord of Darkness said, then it could indeed be understood.
People die for wealth as birds die for food. If a person cannot even survive, they might resort to any means possible.
The Great Valley Master and others also fell into silence, unable to speak. Indeed, if such a thing happened to them, they would likely resort to similar measures for survival.
The Lord of Darkness smiled self-mockingly again, "In victory or defeat, history is always written by the victors. In this battle, our Dark World has lost, and we have nothing to say."
Tangyu shook his head, "Lord of Darkness, there’s no wrong in you fighting for survival, and there’s no wrong in us defending our homeland. Perhaps in this world, there’s no clear right or wrong; ultimately, it comes down to who is stronger. This is the supreme law of survival in our Martial World. Though I sympathize with you, the resources of our Ancient Martial World were already sparse, and it’s impossible to share them with you. So, you have to retreat to the Dark World, and in the future, we won’t interfere with each other."
The Lord of Darkness nodded, no longer hoping to resist, nor possessing the ability to resist.
"Tangyu." The Lord of Darkness suddenly looked at Tangyu, "To be defeated by someone as extraordinary as you, I am convinced. On the Path of the Immortals, you could likely go very far, reaching heights we might never achieve in a lifetime. However, I have a request, and I hope you will agree."
"A request?" Tangyu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly before saying, "Tell me first."
The Lord of Darkness turned to look towards the place of discourse, at Qian Shanxue in the crowd, then continued to Tangyu, "Our Dark World is no longer suitable for cultivation; basically, no progress can be made there. I know your Ancient Martial World cannot accommodate people from our Dark World. But—my daughter has been cultivating in your Ancient Martial World since childhood; she is innocent. I hope your Myriad Saints Valley can continue to accommodate her, allow her to stay."
"She is still young, with a bright future ahead, maybe she can also embark upon the Path of the Immortals. As an irresponsible father, I sincerely ask for your consent."
The Lord of Darkness spoke earnestly; for him to bow and plead was indeed rare.
Qian Shanxue ran over, coming to the Lord of Darkness’s side, shaking her head, "No father, I don’t blame you. You’ve already done too much for our Dark World. I will go back with you to the Dark World."
The Lord of Darkness looked sternly at Qian Shanxue, "Xue’er, don’t act impulsively. The Dark World has no hope now; you are father’s only hope. If you return to the Dark World with father, your whole future will be ruined. You must stay in the Ancient Martial World, where there might still be a glimmer of hope. So, you must obey your father’s word."
The Lord of Darkness’s words left no room for argument or rebuttal.
