Chapter 355: Attack on the Empire (1/2)

Arman is having the worst time of his life.

He is not even able to freely roam the streets, because there is at least one shooter who will be aiming at his ass once he shows up on the streets.

He was thinking on how to get away, but he couldn't find any other way. He was barely able to hide for sometime when someone comes chasing him.

He is extremely regretting all the things he did. At least, the things he did in the past day. He has ruined the train track in hopes of causing an accident, but he got the timing wrong and they were able to rectify the mistake easily before the crash could happen.

He doesn't know what he was thinking when he was doing, he just felt like doing that stuff and no reasons came to his mind to not to do them. But now, he can think more than dozen reasons to not to do it. It was like he was possessed.

Arman who is away from the thunder god temple, was obviously missed on the information regarding the Devil Guided incense.

In fact, he is not even bothered to think about the war.

And in his current situation, he couldn't think even if he wants to.

For the next week, within the western continent, Arman is like a sewer rat. He lived in dark corners and barely got any rest. No matter what time is, his resting place would be busted in at most three hours.

Philip, Jack and Watt just checked on Sam. His complexion almost returned to normal and his energy levels are also quite high with the absorption of the black patches. His skin is almost back to normal.

Except for the large gaping scars of the two chain sickles on his upper chest, his body is same as it is before the incident.

In the past week many things happened.

Philip and Jack broke through Peak stage Grand realm. They have been treading on the edge for this break through for a long time. But due to all the running around they weren't able to concentrate on cultivating. Now is the only time they had free time.

Watt also reached the peak stage of Grand realm for some time, a little before the other two and he seemed to be just a step away from break through to the Nascent realm.

Currently, the news about Sam's return was already sent back to the Thunder god temple, but they didn't call them back for some reason.

They seemed to be too busy with the war to care about them.

At this moment, the trio and Arc are sitting together in a room going through the war reports that are being read by someone in the Imperial Palace.

In this one week, there are great changes in the war. Actually, the church is able to deal with two minor powers and they took control of those two minor powers. The major powers were not able to intervene in the situation because, the nearest two major powers Usaine Sect and Beast faction are were attacked by the church at this moment.

But those attacks are minor and didn't last long, they even revealed two space gates the church placed in both places. Although, there might be other gates it is still considered a loss for them to be exposed for a probing attack and got blocked.

But it cannot be calculated like that and the church could be said to have won because, their twelve Priests who are Pre-transcendent cultivators when the war started, out of them eight of them became transcendent cultivators while the war is going on. And the situation was same for both the minor powers.

For every minor power, the church sent twelve priests and in that sixteen already turned into Transcendent cultivators and these sixteen are the reason for the loss of the two minor powers.

The new land and the new powerful cultivators, they are gaining in. But the church is not without any losses.

Usaine Sect and Beast faction realized that something is off with the attacks that are made on them and then only realised they were being distracted.

So, they reacted fast enough and checked the situation with another minor power and they were able to stop the invasion of the church in the third minor power. They reacted fast enough and eliminated the church completely.

But for the past few days, the church tried to gain their upper hand back in the minor power which they were eliminated.

There, the sixteen newly transformed transcendent cultivators started attacking.

In fact, all the minor powers should have been dealt with in a week, but they failed in doing so because, the meeting in the central continent ended faster than expected and the retaliation from the minor powers is faster than they imagined.

After the Old one was caught, he didn't care about the strategy anymore and just went along with the long- lasting battle with the minor powers and in between, he is been sending a unit or two of followers to any of the major powers.

Simply put, the church is extremely focusing on the vicinities of the central continent.

After they read through the report, Arc and Philip are discussing the things regarding the war and how they should react if a sudden situation arises.

Their main problem is the followers of the church who are also the soldiers who will be in the front lines are currently all Grand realm cultivators.
