Chapter 1379: Chapter 1058: The Great War Resurges, 11 Peak Divine Realm Warriors! Chapter 1379: Chapter 1058: The Great War Resurges, 11 Peak Divine Realm Warriors! Time flew by, and five months had passed since the Netherworld once again raided the Acquired Divine Race’s royal dynasty for resources in the Spirit World.

Besides one more cultivator refining a supreme godhood to reach the Peak Divine Realm, the Netherworld naturally bore two more at the peak, now possessing nine such mighty beings.

“Nine at the Peak Divine Realm…” Watching the birth of yet another peak entity, Heaven God King’s expression was complex as he spoke in a hushed tone.

Back then, the total number of those at the Peak Divine Realm in the Royal Dynasty of the Innate Divine Race was just over thirty, and each was a well-renowned figure, shining through the ages and drawing the awe of all within the Divine Realm.

Without a doubt, those at the Peak Divine Realm were the strongest force in this world.

Now, in such a short development time, the Netherworld had nine at the peak!

At this rate, it wouldn’t take long before reaching the power level of the once glorious Innate Divine Race Royal Dynasty!

“If His Majesty were still here, seeing the Crown Prince accomplish so much, he would no doubt be very proud,” sighed the Heaven God King.

Years went by without the Crown Prince’s return. From the souls of cultivators of the Spirit World who had fallen, they learned that the Crown Prince had perished. The souls of two Peak Divine Realm spirits from the Spirit World indicated the same.

This information undoubtedly weighed heavily on them.

Fortunately, the Blood Prison Sword and Heavenly Principle Tower’s recognition of their master gave them hope that the Crown Prince was still alive, though it was uncertain where he was or in what condition.

The Crown Prince had two bodies, each of extraordinary strength–beyond what ordinary cultivators could achieve. They speculated that perhaps the Crown Prince had a third body, and maybe at any moment, he would return.

“Sadly, with the Innate Divine Race defeated and the Acquired Divine Race rising, even if the Netherworld’s strength doubled, it wouldn’t stand a chance against the royal dynasty of the Acquired Divine Race!” After a pause, the Heaven God King shook his head slightly, his thoughts heavy.

He largely agreed with the decisions of the Tri-Eyed Emperor. Now, the Netherworld had over nine million lower-tier cultivators, tens of thousands in the middle tier, and more than two hundred in the upper tier, yet only nine at the Peak Divine Realm.

The numbers of the lower-tier cultivators in the Netherworld were not fewer than those in the Acquired Divine Race Royal Dynasty, and the middle tier was only slightly less. If a war were to happen within the Netherworld, it would be their home field advantage, and their cultivators were no ordinary beings. They could also arrange all manner of formations.

The might of the lower-tier cultivators was no less than that of the Acquired Divine Race Royal Dynasty, even stronger in some respects.

What they lacked was the power of the higher-tier cultivators.

The upper-tier and the Peak Divine Realm.

It is the upper-tier and the Peak Divine Realm that are critical to the success or failure of a major battle.

Reducing the consumption of lower-tier cultivators might not be conducive to long-term cultivation of higher-tier cultivators… but for the short-term development of higher-tier powers, it might be beneficial…

What they lacked now was time!

“Over time, those lower-tier cultivators with good understanding and hidden potential can also be identified, and this time, we should choose as favorably as possible… Hopefully, by doing so, we can minimize the long-term adverse effects!” the Heaven God King thought to himself.

No one could be sure when the Royal Dynasty of the Acquired Divine Race would launch a full-scale attack on the Netherworld, nor could anyone predict when this war would end. They had to think not only of the short term but also of the long term.

“Unfortunately, the three princess consorts and I are unable to break through to the Peak Divine Realm in the Netherworld. Otherwise, I have already found the opportunity for breakthrough, and given the talents of the three princess consorts, it would not be hard for them either. Then, our side could have added four more at the Peak Divine Realm…” the Heaven God King let out a sigh.

Four at the Peak Divine Realm plus the current nine would make it thirteen on their side. In just a short period, achieving thirteen Peak Divine Realm entities–something the Royal Dynasty of the Acquired Divine Race probably wouldn’t expect.

Perhaps, with some planning, they could once again catch the Acquired Divine Race Royal Dynasty by surprise and gain another significant victory.

“Unfortunately…” the Heaven God King shook his head.

Alas, he and the three princess consorts could not break through to the Peak Divine Realm in the Netherworld, nor could they do so in the vast world of spirits. Otherwise, their breakthrough in the Spirit World would cause no small commotion and might draw the attention of powerful figures from the Acquired Divine Race Royal Dynasty; they likely wouldn’t be able to reenter the Netherworld.

Then, they would truly become turtles trapped in a jar, fish on the chopping board of the Acquired Divine Race Royal Dynasty.

If only the Crown Prince were still here, perhaps something could be done…

He knew the Crown Prince could emit a kind of mysterious light, a light of great power that could not only change the talents of an ordinary cultivator but also rapidly advance them to the Divine Realm.

When covered by that mysterious light, the spirits of their Divine Realm could also withstand the rejection of the laws in the Netherworld far better.

This mysterious light was, in fact, left in abundance by the Crown Prince within the Heavenly Principle Tower’s space. Yet, that space struggled to truly contain it, and it continuously declined. Had the Heavenly Principle Tower not been residing in the lower strata of the Netherworld where time flowed slowly, this light would have long since vanished.

For now, he could occasionally leave the Netherworld, but once that mysterious light was gone, he would find it hard to leave freely because without its aid, reentering the Netherworld could become extremely challenging.
