Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

The Barbaric Land.

Inner Domain.

Flying Dragon Great Plain.

Here, over ten million barbarians are gathered. Some live in mountainous regions and hills, forming tribes and communities.

Others have left the forests, come to the plains, built cities, established kingdoms, constructed cathedrals, and become 'civilized people.'

The rulers of this plain are these kingdoms, and above these kingdoms, there is the Wind God Cathedral.

Divine Authority bestowed unto Kings.

The Wind God Cathedral wields divine power, controlling political authority.

Each nation's king succession requires a pilgrimage to the Wind God Cathedral for cleansing and the blessing of the Main God.

If a king becomes corrupt, a single decree from the Wind God Cathedral can have them dethroned or even executed.

The authority of the gods is supreme and inviolable.

And presiding over the Flying Dragon Great Plain, controlling the Wind God Cathedral, is the Wind God 'Lin Ke.'

On this day.

'Lin Ke' dwells within his divine country, immersed in the praises of his millions of followers. An overwhelming influx of faith power floods in, bringing him both joy and frustration.

"The faith power is excessive; I cannot refine it all."

"Evidently, I need to promote two subordinate gods to share the burden."

"The excess faith power can be used to fortify the divine country and guard against heretics."

An abundance of faith power is a blissful problem.

However, the heretics scattered across the Inner Domain pose an equal concern to 'Lin Ke.'

Hundreds of years ago.

He was merely a low-level god, with limited followers. During that time, the heretics hunted gods relentlessly; the death of a god meant their followers scattered. Lin Ke, relying on caution and prudence, secretly developed his followers amidst the chaos.

Adhering to the strategy of 'fortify walls, stock provisions, delay claiming the throne.'

Over the span of centuries.

Lin Ke covertly amassed millions of followers, rose through ranks, and became a Sixth Layer Heaven God. Only at that stage did Lin Ke dare to raise his banner openly, claiming the Flying Dragon Great Plain. He relocated his millions of followers, picking up millions more along the way, and his believers exponentially exceeded tens of millions.

Even Seventh Layer Heaven Gods are only comparable to this.

Lin Ke believes that as long as he is granted sufficient time, he will undoubtedly ascend to a high-level god, perhaps even a top-tier god.

Therefore.

He searches for talents among his followers, training forces to guard against attacks by heretics.

Simultaneously, he keeps the Inner Domain's intel sealed off, ensuring that news does not leak to the Outer Domain. He joins forces with several other Sixth Layer Heaven Gods, collectively sealing off communication between the Inner and Outer Domains to fend off the intrusion of Outer Domain gods.

If this continues, within another one or two hundred years, he will have refined enough divine power to become a high-level god. By then, he will be among the most formidable across the entire Barbaric Land.

Every time Lin Ke envisions this, waves of excitement rush over him.

Thus, he works even harder—

Refining divine power.

Forging divinity.

Building his cadre.

Strengthening his divine country.

Crafting divine artifacts.

Equipping himself and his divine country to the fullest extent.

Lin Ke is filled with a sense of crisis yet driven by vigor, dedicating nearly all his time within his divine country, relentlessly cultivating himself.

On this particular day, overwhelmed by too much faith power and the slow construction of his divine country.

Lin Ke prepares to select two reliable messengers from his ranks to elevate into subordinate gods, enabling them to assist with faith power management and the expansion of the divine country.

However.

Just as he rises to act, a disturbance suddenly emanates from the southern direction. Alarmed, he raises his gaze to see a Green Stone Bridge stretching across the horizon, teeming with ant-like figures.

"This is bad!"

Lin Ke takes but one glance and knows trouble is imminent.

The distance is too far for him to discern who or what occupies the Green Stone Bridge; he can only see seas of people. Yet he knows it's the heretics' magic formation.

Through this magic formation, those people are amassing and forming battle lines at the border of the Flying Dragon Great Plain, shaping into an imposing army.

"Quick!"

"Command the Baruk Kingdom, Boyi Kingdom, and Jiawei Kingdom to immediately assemble their armies and secure the southern territory."

"Order other nations to rally their forces and await the Cathedral's dispatch."

Lin Ke issues command after command, delivering divine decrees one after another.

He understands.

This is a battle determining survival or annihilation.

Mobilizing all twelve kingdoms and their 12 million citizens on the Flying Dragon Great Plain, Lin Ke still deems it insufficient. He deploys his subordinate gods to contact his several allies, seeking further assistance.

A great war is about to erupt.

...

"A mantis trying to block a chariot!"

Hann Zongyuan shakes his head, holding in his grip the Wind God 'Lin Ke,' who looks like a lifeless dog.

A mere Sixth Layer Heaven Evil God.

Despite commanding over ten subordinate gods and having tens of millions of followers, he's far outmatched compared to Hann Zongyuan's 10,000 cultivators and 20,000 demon races.

A month ago, the Seven Sects Alliance set their battle plan, deciding to strike simultaneously from both northern and southern directions. Among them, the Heaven Mending Sect was responsible for the third northern route with its 150,000 troops.

Hann Zongyuan, along with two other Seventh Layer Heaven True Persons, was chosen by Commander Dai Zong as the vanguard, leading 10,000 cultivators and the newly consolidated 20,000 demon races to assault the three Sixth Layer Heaven Evil Gods stationed between the Inner and Outer Domains.

In this clash—

One side consists of over 10 million followers.

The other has merely 30,000 troops.

Seemingly a mismatch.

Yet Hann Zongyuan, a Seventh Layer Heaven True Person, commands five mid-stage True Persons and twenty low-level True Persons united in the fray. On the battlefield, they are utterly unstoppable.

This forced Lin Ke to intervene personally out of desperation.

But once he engaged, Hann Zongyuan captured him alive.

It posed no challenge whatsoever.

...

A great war ignites.

The Evil Gods crumble instantly.

The Seven Sects Alliance Army advances triumphantly, sweeping through the Great Rift Valley and pushing into northern and southern territories like an unstoppable force!

...

The progress of the Barbaric Land war was astonishingly smooth.

The Seven Immortal Sects deployed a million-strong army, splitting into seven routes. Four headed north, and three pushed south.

Chen Jichuan led the Heaven Mending Sect's 150,000 troops and 150,000 newly organized demon races within the Inner Domain, aiming straight for the Northern Outer Domain.

In the Inner Domain.

Gods such as Lin Ke, who foolishly attempted to block the path, fell swiftly and decisively.

The march northward.

Victory after victory.

The war spanned six years in total, and only six years.

A world-shaking battle that swept across the Barbaric Land culminated in the Seven Immortal Sects achieving a resounding victory.

Most Evil Gods were killed or defeated, leaving them with no ability to resist. Those who fled couldn't return to the Evil God World but instead escaped to the borderlands, remaining in hiding.

The Barbaric Seven Gods, defeated to the end, failed to gather four gods or four artifacts to unlock the All Gods Barrier to seek aid from the Evil God World.

The old gods fell.

New gods rose.

The Barbaric Seven Gods, possessing seven 'ancient divine artifacts,' lacked mutual trust. Moreover, caught off guard, they couldn't unify. By the time they began sending emissaries to communicate, the All Gods Barrier was already seized by the Seven Sects Alliance Army.

There was no turning back.

The divine countries of the Barbaric Seven Gods crumbled, their followers scattered like stars, yet they refused to surrender quietly. Relying on the formidable power of the 'ancient divine artifacts,' they fled to the Outer Domain and into the borderlands.

The Seven Sects, now occupying the Barbaric Land, hadn't stabilized their position entirely and couldn't pursue them immediately.

Yet these Evil Gods, relying on faith power, were exiled to the borderlands. Once the Seven Sects eliminated their followers entirely, these Evil Gods would be like water without a source, unable to recover.

After securing the Barbaric Land.

The Seven Sects immediately set up arrays at the entrance to the Evil God World, sealing it off to prevent counterattacks.

Thus.

The battle of No.5 Cave came to an end.

The remaining tasks were consolidation and eradication.

The chief commanders of the Seven Immortal Sects, alongside several Ninth Layer Heaven True Persons, surged into the borderlands to hunt down the Seven Gods, intent on exterminating them, obtaining their divine bodies, and more importantly, acquiring the ancient divine artifacts they wielded.

Chen Jichuan delegated internal affairs to the six Seventh Layer Heaven True Persons who accompanied him in battle, while he personally took Wang Ying and Ma Jian into the borderlands to pursue the fleeing Barbaric Seven Gods.

...

In a flash.

Four more years passed.

The other two cave battles finally concluded.

All of No.7 Cave fell under the Seven Sects Alliance Army's control, with the entrance to the Evil God World similarly secured through arrays, marking a complete victory.

However, a sudden turn occurred in No.6 Cave—

The Barbaric Evil Gods joined forces, securing the entrance to the Evil God World. Facing the threat of the Seven Sects Alliance Army, these Evil Gods reached a unified decision to summon reinforcements from the Evil God World. This maneuver not only repelled the Seven Sects' million-strong army but also allowed them to take over all of No.6 Cave, bringing catastrophic losses to the Seven Sects Alliance Army.

Some withdrew from No.6 Cave, while others, unable to retreat in time, fled into the borderlands.

The battle in No.6 Cave sharply contrasted with those in No.5 and No.7 Cave.

To the extent that—

Among the Seven Sects Alliance's seven chief commanders in No.6 Cave, three were trapped, and two perished directly, with only two escaping in disgrace.

Among the slain commanders was none other than the Heaven Mending Sect's Five Directions Hall Master—

Ji Liuyun.

One of the Heaven Mending Sect's twelve sacred treasures, 'True Essence Scissors,' has gone missing.

The battle report sparked shock across the Seven Sects and uproar throughout the Central Continent.

...

No.5 Cave.

Northern Borderlands.

Chen Jichuan rode the thunderstorm, streaking across the skies. Ahead of him, a flickering flame danced like a shooting star, rapidly fleeing away.

Chen Jichuan pushed the 'Wind Thunder All Heavens Great Escape' to its limits.

The super-level escape skill of the Fourth Realm was unimaginably fast. The flame ahead could not compete and was getting closer with each moment.

"Go!"

Chen Jichuan pressed his hand against his sword, unleashing seven streams of 'Green Sun Sword' Sword Qi. The sword diagram coalesced, and five thousand strands of Sword Qi converged on seven stars, enveloping the flame.

As he closed in, the flame revealed the figure of a red-haired middle-aged man filled with rage.

The Sword Qi struck.

'Lei Lin's' expression flickered with fury.

Among the Barbaric Land's Seven Top-tier Divine Gods, lei Lin, wielding the flame divine artifact 'Fire Crow Sand Cup,' commanded billions of followers, standing powerful and distinguished.

Yet, all of this was destroyed years ago.

His divine domain shattered.

His being driven into exile.

He relied only on the 'Fire Crow Sand Cup' to flee to the borderlands, constantly alert to the pursuit of these cultivators. Now, standing amidst such a chase, his pursuer—rumored to be the Heaven Mending Sect's Hall Master Dai Zong—hound-like, never ceased his pursuit.

On and off.

Eight months of relentless pursuit.

Constantly intercepted and repeatedly suppressed. Without the hymns of his believers or the replenishment of faith power, his strength continued to decline.

Initially, he could still contend.

Soon he was no longer a match, relying only on the 'Fire Crow Sand Cup' for barely manageable defense. But eventually, even the artifact grew insufficient, leaving him with no choice but to flee endlessly.

Yet this time.

He lacked even the power to activate the 'Fire Crow Sand Cup' for a grand teleport. Despite endless attempts, he fell short by just a little.

Seeing himself overtaken.

And the Sword Qi approaching rapidly.
