Chapter 585: The War Begins Hall of Souls vs. Cai Lin Pavilion!
The Hall of Souls' Master!!!
Everyone except the Hall of Souls members turned their gazes toward him in unison.
This was a legendary figure, a being whose infamy alone was enough to terrify the entire Central Plains.
Even though he rarely appeared before the public, his fearsome reputation never faded.
The mere mention of the Hall of Souls' Master, Hun Miesheng, was enough to send shivers down the spines of even the most powerful forces.
If one were to rank the greatest figures in the Central Plains, Hun Miesheng would undoubtedly be number one.
Even now, Wu Tian was still far from his level.
For many, Hun Miesheng was the undisputed peak of power an invincible nightmare.
Taking a step forward, Hun Miesheng stood in front of Gu You, while behind him, the Hall of Souls members bowed deeply, standing in perfect order.
Like obedient little children, their submissive posture was enough to shake anyone who witnessed it.
Old Monster Qing Hua nearly cried at the sight.
Why the hell did I even come to this damn Pill Gathering?
Why did I step into this cursed Star Region?
Now, here he was… caught between two titanic forces.
Two monstrous overlords were about to clash, and he was just a tiny fish stuck between two cleavers.
There was no phrase more fitting for Qing Hua than "a lamb to the slaughter."
His alchemy skills may have been at the eighth tier, but in terms of combat ability, he was just a Dou Zun.
In a one-on-one fight, he could still hold his ground against some Hall of Souls members.
But now?
If Hun Miesheng and Wu Tian started fighting, he wouldn't even have time to react before he was blown out of existence.
If he was unlucky and got caught in a space rupture, even a Dou Zun like him would be completely erased.
The thought of this terrifying scenario made Qing Hua shiver.
His aging legs involuntarily took a few steps toward Cao Ying and Dan Chen.
Right now, these two girls were the safest people in the entire Star Region.
If anything happened to them, then he was as good as dead.
Cao Ying and Dan Chen, meanwhile, were also staring at the Hall of Souls' Master.
Their delicate faces had turned pale.
So this… is the man who can rival the legendary ancestors of the Pill Tower?
They never expected Hun Miesheng to personally appear.
He wasn't just here to deal with Wu Tian
He was here to completely destroy him…
And to extract the souls of all the Pill Tower's alchemists!
Wu Tian and Hun Miesheng locked eyes.
Wu Tian didn't mind the faint praise in Hun Miesheng's words.
After all, the true rulers of the Hall of Souls were the Soul Clan.
Hun Miesheng, in comparison, was just a figurehead.
Even so…
For him to show up personally meant that the Hall of Souls had deployed its full might!
Both of them could already sense the chaos outside.
The battle in Holy Pill City had begun.
The Hall of Souls' Vice Master, who had appeared earlier, had now led the remaining Heavenly Venerates into battle against the Pill Tower's forces.
But the Hall of Souls wasn't fighting alone
For the first time, members of the Soul Clan were revealing themselves on the battlefield.
More than ten Half-Saints emerged from space rifts, drastically increasing the pressure on the Heavenly Court Alliance.
However, at that very moment, Small Pill Tower Elders also arrived, activating the Pill Tower's hidden formations to fight back.
Meanwhile, the Cai Lin Pavilion's strongest warriors joined the fray.
Xiao Yi Xian.
Feng Zun-zhe.
Huang Quan Zun-zhe.
And most shocking of all
Xiao Yi Xian waved her sleeve, and twelve Heavenly Demon Puppets instantly appeared!
These puppets were formidable war machines, each capable of battling a Dou Zun.
And unlike humans, they felt no pain and had no fear they were pure killing machines!
But that wasn't all.
Behind them…
Another hundred Earth Demon Puppets emerged.
These weren't crafted by Wu Tian
They were created by Han Feng, one of the Vice Masters of the Cai Lin Pavilion!
Earth Demon Puppets didn't require rare materials.
Demon cores, beast remains, and souls
In the chaotic wars of the past few years, these resources were never in short supply.
Thus, with the appearance of a hundred Earth Demon Puppets, the battlefield became even more unpredictable.
Small Pill Tower Elders, Yao Chen, Qing Hua, and the Half-Saints of the alliance all engaged the Hall of Souls' Half-Saints in battle.
The Hall of Souls' Vice Master personally fought against the Great Elder of Small Pill Tower.
While the Vice Master was stronger, the Great Elder could still fight him for days without falling.
And that wasn't all
The Flaming Valley had yet to make their move.
The reason?
They were defending their base, wary of a Hall of Souls ambush.
The Hall of Souls loved attacking people's headquarters.
And they were right to prepare.
Because while Holy Pill City descended into chaos…
A terrifying new war erupted in the Black-Corner Region, the heart of the Cai Lin Pavilion's main headquarters.
The one leading this assault was none other than the Hall of Souls' Great Heavenly Venerate a mid-stage Two-Star Dou Sheng!
And who was waiting for him?
The Flaming Valley's Old Ancestor, Huo Yun!
These two were fated enemies.
The moment they saw each other, they immediately clashed, their battle shaking the heavens.
As for the Hall of Souls' other experts, they quickly realized something terrifying
The Cai Lin Pavilion's base was far stronger than expected.
Even though it was located in the Northwest Continent, its true power rivaled that of the Central Plains!
Many powerful figures stood guarding this fortress.
Three legendary elders from the former Jia Nan Academy
Qian Bai Er Lao, the twin guardians.
Once only at the peak of Dou Zong, they had now become Four-Star Dou Zuns under Wu Tian's guidance.
Then there was Su Qian, the former Headmaster of the Inner Academy.
Thanks to Wu Tian's help, he had reached Three-Star Dou Zun.
The former Vice Headmaster, Hu Qian
A blood relative of Hu Jia, one of Wu Tian's women
Had also become a Dou Zun.
And perhaps the most surprising
Han Feng, the mad alchemist, had now risen to Dou Zun as well.
With so many experts gathered
The Hall of Souls' Great Heavenly Venerate finally realized the truth.
The Cai Lin Pavilion…
Was growing even faster than the Hall of Souls itself!
In less than ten years, they had produced so many Dou Zuns.
This was far more terrifying than expected!
As the battle raged on, the Hall of Souls began to waver.
Meanwhile, back in Holy Pill City, the war continued.
And inside the Star Region
Hun Miesheng and Wu Tian still stood motionless, locked in a silent standoff.
But everyone present knew
The true storm was about to begin.
