Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

As the Lords of the Three Thousand Immortal Cities, they all understood that the strength of the Evil God Clan had always been greater than that of the Human Clan. However, the reason the Three Thousand Immortal Cities and the Thirteen Holy Lands were allowed to exist was due to their fear of the Human Clan's power.

After all, if they truly pushed the Human Clan to the brink of extinction, the Evil God Clan would not fare well either.

Therefore.

The Three Thousand Immortal Cities and the Thirteen Holy Lands served as a buffer zone for the war between the two clans.

As long as the strength of the Mystic Sky Sacred Land was strong enough, it could make the Evil God Clan apprehensive.

Of course.

This "strong enough" did not refer to an ordinary Longevity Heavenly Venerate.

Gu Qingfeng was capable of killing four Masters of the Forbidden Area, a strength not weaker than the Qingmu Heavenly Venerate, and possibly even stronger.

In such a circumstance, the Evil God Clan might not necessarily decide to clash with the Mystic Sky Sacred Land in a deadly confrontation.

Moreover.

There was another reason.

Both parties clearly understood the current situation, with the Thirty-Six Forbidden Zones slowly eroding the Human Clan's foundation. If there was no resistance, one day, the Human Clan would be completely consumed by the Evil Gods.

Only by fiercely resisting could there be a glimmer of hope.

"You all are aware of the current situation of the Mystic Sky Sacred Land. Once you enter the Sacred Land, it's tantamount to standing in opposition to the Evil God Clan.

At that point, there is a real possibility of death!"

Gu Qingfeng looked deeply at the two before speaking.

Emperor Yuyang smiled bitterly, "What the Heavenly Venerate said, how could we not know? But now the Human Clan has long reached the end of its rope. If we do not resist, we will eventually be destroyed by the Evil Gods.

The Three Thousand Immortal Cities, the Thirteen Holy Lands, these forces have settled for the status quo. It's not that they don't understand the consequences of doing so, but there is still a bit of luck in their hearts.

But in such a war where the clan faces annihilation, where is there any place for luck?

Rather than deceive ourselves, it's better to give it all we've got!"

At these words.

Emperor Yuyang immediately rose and bowed deeply to Gu Qingfeng.

"Yuyang pays respects to the Saint Master!"

"Xutian pays respects to the Saint Master!"

Emperor Xutian, standing beside, followed suit in paying respects.

Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng's face immediately showed a satisfied smile: "With the addition of two Immortal Cities, Mystic Sky Sacred Land's strength will undoubtedly increase greatly."

"From today on, you two shall serve as Vice Saint Masters!"

The two Immortal City Lords, both being Half-step Heavenly Venerates, were not less powerful than Luo Tian, and given their voluntary support, Gu Qingfeng was not stingy with two Vice Saint Master positions.

"Thank you, Saint Master!"

The expressions on the two men's faces were also filled with joy.

——

Before long.

The announcement that Beiyue Immortal City and Divine Sun Immortal City had joined the Mystic Sky Sacred Land swept through the Qingmu Immortal Realm like a hurricane.

Upon hearing the news, the powerful figures of various Immortal Cities were dumbfounded, seemingly not expecting the two Immortal Cities to be so decisive in switching allegiance to the Mystic Sky Sacred Land.

This made some Immortal Cities hesitate, unsure whether to pledge allegiance to the Mystic Sky Sacred Land.

But more Immortal Cities witnessed this with cold indifference.

In their eyes.

Such actions by the two Immortal Cities were suicidal.

The current Mystic Sky Sacred Land was at the center of the storm, avoiding it wasn't even quick enough, let alone actively approaching it.

If the Evil God Clan responded, then the destruction of the Mystic Sky Sacred Land would happen in an instant.

But regardless.

With the allegiance of the two Immortal Cities.

Mystic Sky Sacred Land shook the Immortal Domain.

At the same time.

The name of Gu Qingfeng spread far and wide.

Xuantian Heavenly Venerate!

This was the honorific title of Gu Qingfeng!

As the master of the Mystic Sky Sacred Land, other cultivators all addressed him as Xuantian Heavenly Venerate.

Even outside the Qingmu Immortal Realm, other Immortal Realms heard of this.

"Xuantian Heavenly Venerate..."

"A Heavenly Venerate who ascended from the Lower Realm, able to slay so many Evil God Heavenly Venerables, quite impressive, but alas, doesn't know how to hide his brilliance; probably won't last long!"

"It's a pity, a pity, we've lost another future top Heavenly Venerate from the Human Clan!"

For Mystic Sky Sacred Land, these Immortal Realms held little hope.

Attempting to challenge the Evil God Clan.

Was a path to destruction.

In the past, there were others like this Xuantian Heavenly Venerate, unwilling to accept the Human Clan's situation, hence they rose to resist the Evil God Clan, but the fate of these individuals was always the same, ending in a tragic death at the hands of the Evil Gods.

If any of these cultivators knew how to endure, upon maturing, they would have the potential to become the Human Clan's pillars of support.

Unfortunately.

Too much brilliance.

Always difficult to last.

However.

Regarding external matters.

Gu Qingfeng paid no heed.

Currently, he was busy managing the affairs of the Mystic Sky Sacred Land.

With Beiyue and Divine Sun Immortal Cities joining, Emperor Xutian and Emperor Yuyang exerted great divine skills to move the two Immortal Cities into the Mystic Sky Sacred Land.

As a result.

The five Immortal Cities of Mystic Sky Sacred Land grew to become seven Immortal Cities. Content presented by MV|LEMP|YR.

Each Immortal City was equivalent to a world in size, more than enough to house a hundred billion humans.

Initially, a single Immortal City could only accommodate thirty million humans because the Evil God Clan feared a single Immortal City could grow too powerful, posing a threat to themselves.

Thus, there was this limit.

Regarding a Sacred Land.

One billion humans.

For the same reason.

Now.

Following the allegiance of the two Immortal Cities, the population of the Mystic Sky Sacred Land surged to nearly ninety million, almost breaking the hundred million mark.

However——

In less than a few days.

The population of the Mystic Sky Sacred Land surpassed the hundred million mark.

The rapid growth stemmed from the reputation of the Mystic Sky Sacred Land shaking the Qingmu Immortal Realm, causing many human cultivators to flock there.

Almost every day, a large number of humans arrived.

In response.

Gu Qingfeng ordered that all these humans be settled in the seven Immortal Cities.

Within just one month's time.

The population of the Mystic Sky Sacred Land was approaching one billion.

…

"Report to the Saint Master, now the population within the Sacred Land is about one billion. Should we prohibit more humans from entering?"

In the Holy Land Hall, Luo Tian respectfully inquired.

Gu Qingfeng remained calm: "Mystic Sky Sacred Land refuses none who come. As long as humans are willing to come, we accept them all. A billion humans is the restriction the Evil God Clan imposed on the Thirteen Holy Lands, irrelevant to my Mystic Sky Sacred Land!"

"But if we do so, it might provoke the Evil God Clan's displeasure..."

An elder hesitated.

The Sacred Land can shelter a billion humans; this has been the established rule since ancient times.

If Mystic Sky Sacred Land violated this, it's likely the Evil God Clan would not let it go.

"Displeasure?"

Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly at the elder, then pointed outside the Sacred Land Hall to the colossal spear as tall as a mountain, where flesh still wriggled and wailed endlessly under the scorching sun and Divine Blade's cutting.

"Do you think there's still room for reconciliation between Mystic Sky Sacred Land and the Evil God Clan?"

"..."

Silence.

Everyone fell silent.

Indeed!

Is there still room for reconciliation with the Evil God Clan?

The four Masters of the Forbidden Area had fallen.

One Master of the Forbidden Area was still enduring the lingering death penalty.

Mystic Sky Sacred Land had long rubbed the face of the Evil God Clan into the ground, where was there talk of tolerance?

The smile on Gu Qingfeng's face gradually disappeared, his expression turning stern: "This is the first time and will be the last time, as I don't wish any hint of fear towards the Evil God Clan to exist within Mystic Sky Sacred Land.

In the eyes of the Evil Gods, humans are just blood food. Constant yielding won't bring the Evil God Clan's leniency, only more recklessness from them.

Remember, this is a war for the survival of our clan, in such a war concerning the survival of our species, there's no such thing as retreat."

"Not fighting means death!"

"Defeat means death!"

"Only by doing everything we can in opposition can we seize a sliver of hope!"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes were fierce, and his overwhelming killing intent filled the entire hall.

"From today onward, any human is welcome at Mystic Sky Sacred Land, no matter how many come, the Sacred Land will accept them all. If any Evil God sets foot within the territory of the Sacred Land, kill them all, leave none alive!"

"Additionally, if any are found secretly colluding with the Evil Gods to betray the Human Clan, the fate of Master Blood Nether will become the fate of such traitors.

I'll let them know what it means to neither seek life nor find death!"

"Bear in mind, sometimes even death can be a luxury——"

Gu Qingfeng's indifferent gaze swept over everyone, causing them to involuntarily shiver with fear.
