NFBE Chapter 2306
Chapter 2306
"First of all, I want to tell you that you are not fighting for the Holy Land of Heartlessness or for personal opportunities when you go to the frontier to participate in the Civilization War, but for yourselves, for your heritage, sects, tribes, relatives and disciples!"
Chen Xuan's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed through the void.
"If everyone were like you, harboring wishful thinking and fighting each other, our civilized universe would have been completely invaded and turned into scorched earth by the strange races during the Immortal Ancient Era!"
"In the ancient battle of immortals, why did those innate beings and innate gods and demons who had no offspring, no tribes, and no disciples risk their lives? If they could prolong their lives by merely clinging to life, why would countless Dao Lords, Immortal Emperors, Rulers, Supremes, Quasi-Emperors, and Great Emperors rush to the battlefield and sacrifice themselves for the cause?"
Chen Xuan's gaze swept across the crowd like a knife, and he shouted sharply:
"Next time, if anyone dares to utter any words that could undermine morale, no matter how illustrious their background or how extraordinary their origins, even if they are a core disciple of my Heartless Holy Land, I will kill them without hesitation!"
The reprimanding voices crashed like waves against the shore, shaking the very souls of all the celestial beings.
"One hundred and eight thousand celestial beings, gathered to form a complete super battle formation, require eighteen thousand formation bases. Within the battle formation, if any one formation base has a problem, the entire battle formation will instantly collapse and disintegrate!"
Chen Xuan squinted and scanned the entire audience, then continued shouting,
"At that time, we, the 108,000 Celestial Immortals, will be directly exposed to the enemy's battle formation, which is comparable to that of a First-Class Immortal King! As the Holy Son of the Heartless Holy Land, I can easily escape with my control over the Great Dao and my treasured resources, but what about you?"
Chen Xuan's voice suddenly rose, carrying a sharp question, "How confident are you that you can survive the bombardment of a Celestial King-level battle formation?"
"I will give you three days. After three days, every celestial being must swear an oath to me: during the training and battles, anyone who has the thought of retreating or abandons their post will die and be forever banished from the cycle of reincarnation!"
Upon hearing this, a commotion immediately erupted in the void!
Even the celestial beings from quasi-sacred cities and sacred cities hesitated at this moment—the oath of the Heavenly Dao was no small matter. Once it was made, it would be witnessed by the Heavenly Dao, and those who violated it would suffer the backlash of the oath and be doomed forever.
Chen Xuan had anticipated their reaction and immediately added:
"Of course, I, Chen Xuan, will also make an equal oath to the Heavenly Dao: I will lead you all in practicing battle formations with all my might, and during the war, I will never abandon you, nor will I fail you or the realm!"
For the next three days, Chen Xuan stood quietly in the void, and the more than 100,000 celestial beings did not dare to make the slightest move, all waiting in place.
Throughout the entire void, only the agonizing screams of the hundred or so celestial beings scorched by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire echoed continuously, constantly reminding everyone of the consequences of disobeying military orders.
Once the three-day deadline was up, Chen Xuan raised his hand and waved it, instantly dissipating the red lotus karmic fire that had been entwining the hundred-plus celestial beings.
These hundred-odd celestial beings had long been tortured beyond recognition, their clothes charred black, their breath weak, and their eyes filled with fear and despair.
They dared not utter a word, dragging their broken bodies back into formation as quickly as possible, each one as obedient as a child, their previous arrogance gone.
They finally witnessed the terror of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire—for three days, the excruciating pain of their souls being burned made them contemplate suicide countless times, and their spirits were already on the verge of collapse.
Chen Xuan's sharp gaze swept over the 108,000 Celestial Immortals once more, and he spoke calmly: "I, Chen Xuan, have never liked to force things. If any of you have any objections, you may leave now."
He paused, then changed the subject, his tone turning icy:
"But the price of leaving is that your sects and tribes will be stripped of all domain resources, reduced to rogue cultivators, and forbidden from occupying any star within the ten domains of the Flame Dragon Realm for generations to come!"
These words struck like a thunderbolt, causing all the celestial beings to change their expressions drastically.
They instantly remembered a legendary being.
"The Immortal Divine Dynasty, I believe you have all heard of it, haven't you?" Chen Xuan scanned the crowd and said slowly.
"Their ancestors were beings who retreated and avoided battle during the Immortal Ancient War. Because of that choice, the Celestial Immortal level cultivators of the Immortal Divine Dynasty still dare not show themselves in the world, let alone interfere in external conflicts, and can only hide in remote star fields to eke out a living."
Chen Xuan continued his lecture, "Do they regret it? Perhaps. But what good is regret? The fact that the ancient immortals tolerated their continued existence in this void is already the greatest blessing!"
"Do you believe your potential surpasses that of the Immortal Divine Dynasty? Can your sect withstand the suppression of the domain's rules?" Chen Xuan demanded sharply.
After finishing his speech, he said no more and went straight to the point: "I will draft the oath. Those who have no objections may directly make the Heavenly Oath."
Chen Xuan knew that he had transcended tribulation and become an immortal more than a thousand years later than Dao Yi and the others. Those people had already begun practicing the combined formation and accumulated thousands of years of experience.
To catch up with or even surpass them within a hundred years, he must use swift and decisive measures and treasures to unite the army's morale and transform it into a true fighting force.
Then, Chen Xuan drafted the Heavenly Oath for the 108,000 celestial beings present, word by word.
The oath is not harsh, with only two core points: during the training exercise, no information shall be leaked to any living being outside the army; after arriving at the battlefield, no one shall have the thought of retreating or abandoning their post, and they shall do their utmost to maintain the success of the battle formation, or their souls shall be scattered and they shall never be reincarnated.
Chen Xuan knew that the Holy Land's secret technique of karmic fire and a few harsh words could only temporarily suppress these celestial beings, and could not make them truly submit and fear from the bottom of their hearts.
So, after he finished speaking, he calmly added, "Although there are hundreds of thousands of you, in my eyes you are nothing more than ants that can be annihilated with a single sword strike!"
"The reason I am being polite to you is only because I respect your courage to go to the front lines for your tribe, sect, and disciples, not because of your strength or background!"
These words were ruthless and completely shattered the dignity of all the celestial beings.
One by one, the white-haired elders and middle-aged powerhouses all had flushed faces, their hearts filled with humiliation, yet none dared to refute them—they had long been intimidated by Chen Xuan's ruthless methods, and were even more wary of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire that burned their souls.
Just when the atmosphere became so oppressive that even breathing seemed to stop—
Chen Xuan calmly turned his hand back, and a terrifying sword pressure suddenly erupted from his body!
buzzing-
The sound of swords rang out in all directions, causing the entire void to tremble slightly.
Brilliant sword lights burst forth from Chen Xuan's body, condensing into a boundless sea of swords behind him. Within the sea of swords, runes of the Great Dao of Swords flowed, exuding a world-destroying aura of slaughter!
"Let's witness the magnificent achievements!"
