Not long after the order was issued, another piece of bad news came from the Netherworld Soul Palace.
"All the celestial beings who participated in the battle have perished!"
How could this be?!
They all perished!
How long has it been?
Even if they're all pig-brains, someone's bound to run away eventually!
What exactly happened on the front lines?
He was in turmoil; he couldn't help but be in turmoil.
The loss of two realm lords, two celestial immortals at the ninth level, and over ten thousand celestial immortals can be described as a devastating blow.
With nearly a third of its strength lost, it will be difficult to recover.
What's even more difficult is figuring out how to fight the next phase of this battle!
The strength of our opponent is somewhat beyond our expectations.
"Lord Minghuo, we have made contact with Lord Peng Wanli."
He said that the opposing side not only dispatched ten powerful cultivators at the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal realm, but also that the Jade-Faced Little Black Dragon Ao Yao was a top-tier prodigy.
Yanhe, Baigui, and Wuli were killed by Ao Yao.
As for Manle, he was slain by the Nine-Striped Dragon Brahma; he probably won't escape either!
"I'm still shaken," Wu Li said.
He almost died too, just a hair's breadth away.
If it weren't for Munler's desire to train the White Ghost to rival him, he himself would probably be the one who died.
"Have Peng Wanli try to talk to the other side and tell Ao Yao that my Pantheon is willing to reconcile!"
Almost simultaneously, Wraithfire came up with another way to make amends.
The strength displayed by Ao Yao's side is beyond the control of the Pantheon.
Ao Yao, who can instantly kill Yan He, Bai Gui, and Peng Fei, is definitely no weaker than the Divine Child.
Even a Brahma who could kill Manler would only be about this strong if he used all his strength.
Moreover, there are eight other celestial immortals at the ninth level of heaven, plus Ao Jia who is currently on the sidelines. Such a lineup is enough to wage a full-scale war against our side.
Although the outcome of war would inevitably be mutually destructive, it is completely unnecessary under the current circumstances.
In the Sky Battlefield, everyone is still developing their character.
Starting a war at this time would be tantamount to allowing other forces to reap the benefits.
There is a high probability that peace talks will be reached.
......
A desolate starry sky, where colossal beasts lie dead.
The Five Elements Body held a knife in its right hand and a communication stone in its left.
He absolutely loves peace talks!
Why resort to violence when things can be resolved through negotiation?
"Cession of territory: All ownership of the Astral Advance Base and its associated worlds is transferred to them."
"Compensation for war losses: 100,000 top-grade immortal stones and 1,000 top-grade immortal fruits, to be delivered after leaving the Ascension Battlefield."
......
"You scoundrel! You've gone too far! You've gone too far!"
Who does he think he is? Who does he think I, the Pantheon, am?
"Cease territory and pay reparations? Do you really think we've been utterly defeated?"
The roar of the Netherfire echoed around the Starry Sky Anchor Stone, and all the demons lowered their heads in silence.
It quickly returned to calm.
It's highly likely that the Astral Plane can't be saved. The question now is what to choose.
To negotiate or not to negotiate!
Although peace talks may have been a loss of face, they preserved both resources and the power of various worlds.
If the fighting continues without negotiations, then the conflict may extend beyond the Astral Forward Base.
One wrong move and... it could be all-out war!
I'll endure it!
"We can give you the Astral Advance Base and its associated worlds in their entirety, but the second point is non-negotiable."
......
"They said they'd fight if we didn't negotiate!"
In the starry sky, Li Fan applied pressure once again.
He wanted to test the opponent's resilience and, incidentally, gauge their confidence.
"Then let's fight!"
As expected, the response from the Netherfire was forceful.
Li Fan had a rough assessment of his opponent's strength.
The strength that our side "displayed" made the other side wary, but it was not something we couldn't fight back against.
The more likely reason for seeking peace talks is to avoid further losses.
So now the choice facing Li Fan is quite simple.
Peace talks!
In any case, no matter what contract is signed or what oath is made, it's Ao Yao who will be involved, and it has nothing to do with me, Nine-Tattooed Dragon Brahma!
After the peace talks, we'll fight our way through worlds one by one.
The Pantheon is definitely going to be destroyed.
......
In the Astral Realm, Hellfire is simply gambling; it's betting that the other side doesn't want a full-scale war.
When the communication stone vibrated, it quickly released its magical power.
Seven words manifested, carrying a chilling killing intent.
"Threatening me? You've got some nerve!"
It's obvious without much thought that the person who sent the message is no longer Peng Wanli.
It's more likely that he's already dead.
But the more the other side acted this way, the more confident Minghuo became.
The loss of another realm lord is certainly regrettable, but the other side's actions are more a result of impotent rage.
If a full-scale war is truly to be waged, then all that's needed is to start fighting directly.
"Then let's fight!"
......
When Netherfire sent this message, the five elements of chaos had already merged into one.
Peng Wanli's body was also dragged back.
Li Fan also wanted to experience the feeling of "a Kun so big that it can't be stewed in one pot".
However, there is one more very important thing to do before that.
That is... a breakthrough!
In the starry sky, the life force left behind by the dead demons surged forth.
Moreover, the immortal stones carried by these monsters also shattered and released spiritual energy.
A brand new vortex appeared, and the Five Elements Body devoured energy, beginning its journey towards the Ninth Heaven of Yaochi.
......
"Li Fan, do you think we can win this battle?"
On the desolate continent, Ao Yao was a little panicked.
He wasn't sure what the situation was like outside.
The collapse of the world is nearing its end.
Before long, he and this avatar will appear in the starry sky.
The situation won't be so good then!
However, his question received no response.
The external avatar standing in front of him also began to fluctuate in aura.
"No... could something really have happened?!"
Sensing this fluctuation, Ao Yao panicked even more.
Without Li Fan's protection, he wouldn't have been able to withstand even a random ninth-level Celestial Immortal from the other side.
In the outside world, he can conquer across borders with his endless stream of magical treasures.
However, all those celestial treasures were destroyed when he entered, so he is now at most a relatively strong eighth-level Celestial Immortal.
Even so... it's still because the Black Dragon Clan's bloodline is so powerful.
As for his combat talent, he might have it, but it has been wasted over the years.
It's hard to say how much of their potential they can unleash.
what to do?
Wait a little longer!
If all else fails, the only option is to surrender.
It's better to lose face than to lose your life.
If we can save Li Fan, that would be even better.
Others may not know how extraordinary he is, but Ao Yao knows it all too well.
As long as Li Fan survives, it's not impossible for him to become a powerful figure in the future.
In this way, I have another powerful backer.
No, I can't let my backer take such a risk.
Get out! Get out now!
In order to ensure his future success, Ao Yao decided to take a gamble!
As for the significance of becoming stronger that he had previously considered, he had long since forgotten about it.
Wouldn't it be better to cling to someone's coattails? Only a fool would huff and puff while diligently cultivating!
...
"Ao Yao is here, who dares to hurt me... Eek... Ah!!!"
