Chapter 1716 Relentless Conquest
Haojie universe.

At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place here.

The two sides in the duel are an alien from beyond the realm and a native immortal from the Hao Realm.

The inhabitants of the Hao Realm are all twelve feet tall, with thick, strong arms. A few even possess wings—extremely wide wings that seem boneless, capable of launching fierce attacks and protecting all directions around them.
Furthermore, the skin of the Haojie people is light golden.

There are many strange races in the vast universe, and some of them look like the Haojie people.

The Great Dao of the Hao Realm is extremely advanced, and powerful beings abound.

At this moment, they are mobilizing numerous powerful individuals to besiege and suppress the aliens from beyond the realm.

Among the extraordinary beings from beyond the realm, there are many powerful immortals, yet they are repeatedly defeated in the face of the Hao Realm people's counterattack.

Tian Huanzhenwang unleashed his magic weapon, carving a bloody path through the enemy ranks. Many Haojie people had already fallen around him, their corpses strewn across the battlefield.

But powerful figures from the Hao Realm continue to pour in.

This is their homeland, and mobilizing powerful individuals is much easier here than from outside the region.

At this moment, True King Tian Huan felt as if the people of Hao Realm were inexhaustible, with one wave after another appearing after the previous one was killed.

Tian Huanzhenwang was originally an immortal powerhouse residing in the Great Luo Heaven. He mobilized caves of all sizes, harvested the vast universe, and unleashed divine power.

In the blink of an eye, two more immortal powerhouses from the Hao Realm died at his hands, and his body was now covered in blood.

But in the end, he was unable to withstand the attack of the Haojie people and his head was chopped off.

These extraterrestrial beings were all killed, and the Hao Realm emerged victorious.

They began clearing the battlefield, with a burly man with a pair of wings and golden runes on them directing the powerful warriors of the Hao Realm to clean up the battlefield.

Soon, another powerful figure from the Hao Realm arrived and asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation?"

The immortal powerhouse who previously directed the cleanup of the battlefield was named Meng Ji, and he was the one who ultimately beheaded Tian Huanzhenwang.

The weapon in his hand was an enormous axe, covered with ancient runes—the very Dao patterns of the Hao Realm.

Meng Ji said in a deep voice, "This group of extraterrestrial beings are not weak. It took eleven Immortals to kill them before we could finally eliminate them."

The powerful expert from the Hao Realm who arrived was named Long Shan. Upon hearing this, he frowned.
“In recent years, extraterrestrial beings have been coming in droves. If we continue to fight like this, all the immortals of my Hao Realm will perish sooner or later.”

Meng Ji pounded his chest and said coldly, "If we die in battle, we will die in battle. Where can't we be buried? We must never let these foreigners occupy our homeland!"

The two exchanged a glance, both with unwavering resolve.

Longshan left in a hurry.

Not long after, another wave of powerful beings from beyond the realm arrived in the Hao Realm Universe.

The Haojie Universe is vast, and they need to travel constantly. There are many powerful individuals like Longshan who are constantly on the move to provide rescue.

The fact that none of the extraterrestrial scouts returned was not due to the intervention of a terrifying expert from the Hao Realm.
It was only through the desperate fighting of these soldiers from the Hao Realm that they were all killed.

They paid an extremely heavy price for this.

Sometimes, several such bloody battles would break out in a single day, rapidly depleting the strength of the Hao Realm's warriors.

Longshan rushed to another battlefield, where the scene was shocking.

The powerful beings from beyond the realm have already killed many people from the Hao Realm. Not only that, but they have also destroyed many mortal worlds of the Hao Realm.

They attempted to enslave this universe, first killing people to establish their authority, and then using this as a sacrifice to the spirits of the powerful beings from beyond the realm who had died.

When Longshan arrived, he was spotted by those powerful figures from beyond the realm.

Daoist Liu Qing shouted, "Don't let him escape! This spy, kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved and charged forward.

Longshan felt as if the surrounding void had been instantly locked, leaving him with nowhere to retreat. In the vast天地 (heaven and earth), it seemed as if he was the only one left.

A terrifying divine power slammed down upon us.
Longshan propelled the Great Dao, giving rise to a thousand arms, each wielding a different magical weapon, which danced rapidly.

Bang bang bang!

The Great Dao attack was shattered by Long Shan, and he clashed head-on with Daoist Liu Qing.
Liu Qingdaojun let out a muffled groan, his blood surging, and he was startled.
"This person's cultivation level is not weak."

However, Longshan's cultivation techniques were inferior to those of Daoist Liu Qing. He was sent flying backward by Liu Qing's attack, crashing into several mountains before barely managing to get up, amidst billowing dust.

Liu Qingdaojun's attacks were relentless, and he attacked again.

Longshan activated his divine power, and the surrounding boulders rose into the air as if being lifted up by the entire world. Thousands of arms launched different attacks, striking at Liu Qingdaojun.

The two fought fiercely!
However, with the arrival of several other powerful figures from beyond the realm, Longshan soon found himself in a perilous situation.

Longshan's cultivation level was comparable to that of a Dao Lord, but he was still outmatched when facing multiple powerful figures.

After Dao Lords from beyond the realm were mobilized to the Hao Realm, the Hao Realm's powerful forces became somewhat stretched thin.

The days of eradicating foreign races without letting a single one escape are long gone.

Longshan felt a deep sadness.

This war will likely end in the defeat of the Hao Realm sooner or later.
By then, all the immortals in the Hao Realm will probably be wiped out, and it's unknown how many will survive in the mortal realm.

He tried his best to escape, but he could not escape the clutches of Daoist Liu Qing, who severed both his legs.

With a flick of his finger, Liu Qingdaojun severed a piece of his scalp, holding it in his palm.

"I will use the scalps of these beasts from the lower realm to make precious boots."

Liu Qingdao laughed wildly.

Longshan also learned about some customs from other regions. They liked to cut off their face and scalp to show their bravery and to humiliate their opponents.

He felt deeply humiliated and fought back fiercely, but was immediately killed by Liu Qingdaojun and a group of powerful figures.

His head was cut off and stuck in a wooden stake.

The Haojie people killed here were all treated in this way: wooden stakes were sharpened and inserted into their heads, stretching for thousands of miles.

Tens of millions of cultivators died in this battle.

…………

Over time, this situation has occurred frequently.

The resistance of the Hao Realm gradually began to falter, more and more powerful figures died in battle, more and more territories were invaded, and many mortal realms were shattered, repeating the cycle of earth, fire, water, and wind.

In just a few years since the start of the war, the Hao Realm has lost hundreds of billions of lives, including countless powerful individuals.

Initially, when the generals of Haojie heard that Longshan had died in battle, they also led their troops to fight against these alien beings from beyond the realm, and the two sides had their share of victories and defeats.

However, most of these battles ended in defeat for the people of the Hao Realm. The powerful Prime Minister Wen Wuji of the Hao Realm led a group of strong warriors to ambush and intercept the extraterrestrial beings.

They appeared and disappeared mysteriously, killing many extraordinary beings from beyond the realm, but in the end they encountered the Samsara Sect.

The Samsara Sect mobilized the largest number of people this time, and they killed the most people from the Hao Realm.

These Taoist disciples unleashed their magical treasures, such as flying swords, bronze cauldrons, and jade seals, to reap the lives of the people of Haojie. They showed no mercy in their killing, and it was a complete massacre.

The Heavenly Prime Minister and General Gui Li led their troops to ambush and attack the Samsara Sect, but they did not expect the enemy to be so powerful.

The Heavenly Prime Minister possesses powerful cultivation and is also a Dao Lord, but his status is considerably lower compared to Dao Lords in the vast universe beyond the realm.

Moreover, a tall figure suddenly emerged from within the Samsara Sect.

This person had a thick halo behind his head, and his body was covered in grotesque muscles and large joints. He was none other than Gu Yan Daojun, who cultivated the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

Ancient Daoist Lord smiled coldly, unleashed his Reincarnation Divine Power, and Dao Light burst forth!

In an instant, the world spun around!
Both the Heavenly Prime Minister and General Gui Li were at the Dao Lord realm. At this moment, the two joined forces and charged forward to sever the halo of reincarnation.

But their supernatural powers couldn't shake it at all; they could only watch the halo rotate.

Gu Yan Daojun sneered, "You are nothing more than two pseudo-Daojuns from the Great Thousand Universes. You are not worthy to be my opponents."

Beyond the realm lies a colossal entity that transcends the vast universe, possessing advanced Dao patterns and flourishing Daoist arts.
It is generally believed that the Immortal Dao Lords beyond the realm represent the true realm.
The immortality of the vast universe is too much of a stretch for Dao Lords; it can only be called a pseudo-realm.

Therefore, the Hao Realm can only kill the immortals from beyond the realm by having a numerical advantage, which often results in more severe losses, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

After so many years of development, those outside the region have become far too powerful.

This strength is manifested in every aspect, not just in the number of powerful individuals.
Typically, powerful beings from outside the realm are half a realm or even a whole realm higher than those in the vast universe, which is a terrifying thing.

In addition to the accumulation of other advantages, this is also the reason why the Haojie people gradually lost out; the gap was simply too large.

On the surface, the number of immortals on both sides may not seem that different.
In reality, when they actually fought, it often took three Hao Realm Immortals working together to kill one Extraterrestrial Immortal.

Just like at this moment, Gu Yan Daojun's casual move was already the limit of what the Prime Minister and the General could bear, and their figures unconsciously fell into the halo of reincarnation.

The Prime Minister was greatly alarmed and hurriedly shouted, "Guard your true spirit, or you will be lost in the cycle of reincarnation! Remember who you are!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell into the cycle of reincarnation and was reborn as a beast.

The same is true for the generals. In the cycle of reincarnation, they sometimes become men and women, sometimes humans and sometimes beasts, and sometimes they transform into plants, trees, mountains and rocks.

The Heavenly Prime Minister managed to preserve his true spirit from destruction several times, but the Ancient Daoist Lord didn't even give him a second glance.

This Dao Lord of the vast universe was nothing but a joke in his eyes.

General Gui Li soon could not withstand it, his true spirit was completely annihilated, and he was assimilated by the Great Dao of Reincarnation, becoming part of the body of the Ancient Dao Lord.

Although the Heavenly Prime Minister continues to maintain his immortal spirit, he is also subject to the invasion of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, and his magical power is constantly being reduced.

When he occasionally regained his clarity, he noticed that powerful beings from the Hao Realm were continuously falling into this cycle of reincarnation, and this trend was even expanding.

The mortal realms also suffered severe damage, and the entire world fell into a cycle of reincarnation. After one cycle, humans became animals, and animals became humans.
Some people are not used to it yet, so all sorts of strange things often happen.

Humans crawl like livestock and wild animals, while livestock and wild animals walk upright like humans, with very strange expressions.

The disciples of the Samsara Dao Sect were greatly shocked by this scene.
They rarely witness the Great Dao Lord's actions, but even then, the power is probably not much different!

Some people exclaimed in their hearts, "Senior Brother Gu Yan's cultivation is indeed extraordinary, and his domineering nature is extremely powerful."

Just by observing, they could feel the domineering nature of this Cycle of Reincarnation, which was completely different from the ordinary Cycle of Reincarnation. They felt they benefited greatly just by watching.

Gu Yan walked slowly, step by step. He would not make a move unless it was a complete loss of power, and when he did, the world would fall into a cycle of reincarnation.

Along his journey, he has caused twenty-four mortal worlds to fall into the cycle of reincarnation, with countless beings suffering greatly within his cycle.

Some powerful figures from the Hao Realm fought their way through, but they were unable to shake the divine power of the Ancient Dao Lord and all fell into the cycle of reincarnation.

His strength is indeed extremely terrifying and inspires despair.

Finally, the Heavenly Prime Minister's true spirit was also annihilated, and he drifted aimlessly in the cycle of reincarnation.

Some extraordinary people nearby were also shocked by what they saw.

The halo of reincarnation was as high as the sky, magnificent and imposing, and could not be ignored by them.

At this moment, among these extraordinary individuals, one person was intently watching everything.

The next moment, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

By the time the powerful beings from beyond the realm reacted, he had already vanished.

He was incredibly fast, and soon he was in front of Gu Yan Daojun. Then he raised his halberd and slashed down.

This halberd can cleave through the void; it can be said to be indestructible.

With a single slash, Gu Yan Daojun's Samsara Divine Power was instantly cleaved, and the enormous Samsara Halo could no longer operate, abruptly stopping.

However, what's strange is that the beings who submit to it continue in the cycle of reincarnation, and this change seems irreversible.

The ancient Daoist asked calmly, "Who are you?"

The burly man with a thick beard, wielding a halberd, roared, "How many more atrocities will your Samsara Dao Sect commit in this Hao Realm before you stop?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan Daojun merely sneered: "If you had surrendered earlier, none of this would have happened. All of this is the fault of you rebels."

"You killed them!"

As soon as Gu Yan Daojun finished speaking, the burly man swayed and his expression changed slightly.

He swung his halberd again and slashed down fiercely, a sharp and cold light slashing towards Gu Yan Daojun.

This attack was far more powerful than the previous one, and Gu Yan Daojun couldn't help but change his expression slightly upon seeing it.

“He is using the orthodox Daoist techniques from beyond our realm. This person is treacherous and a great scourge. He must not be allowed to live.”

Ancient Daoist once again activated the Great Dao of Reincarnation, and the bearded giant also floated within it.

He irreversibly transformed into rocks and vegetation, into men or women, old or young, and finally into a mule pulling a cargo, with a blank look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Yan Daojun was secretly pleased. No matter how great his abilities were, he could not break his own supernatural reincarnation.

But the next moment, a beam of light tore through the halo of reincarnation, as if a majestic Dharma image as tall as the sky had made a move and slashed down fiercely.

A fighting spirit shone in Gu Yan Daojun's eyes; he hadn't felt this kind of pressure in a long time.

"Well done!"

As Gu Yan Daojun finished speaking, he activated the caverns within his body, and a pure darkness appeared behind him, with countless caverns floating within it.

Then he activated his Reincarnation Divine Power to meet the attack from the bearded giant!
