Chapter 583: Chapter 531: The Heavenly Slaying Alliance Being Hunted, Update 53

Above the Tiandu Continent, it was now many times more bustling and prosperous than before it had been cracked open, with one powerful force after another descending upon this world, establishing corresponding strongholds.

New towns sprang up from the ground, spread across this vast domain.

Naturally, Heavenly Gate also had its bases on the Tiandu Continent, located in the central region of the land. They hadn’t acted to cause destruction, but were instead gathering intelligence, harboring thoughts about the inheritance of the Jiuyue Great Power and the Great Demon Origin.

After the major powers arrived at the Tiandu Continent, they only destroyed the forces of the former Heavenly Slaying Alliance experts, sparing ordinary people and even lower-ranking cultivators from slaughter.

Moreover, in the earliest times, figures such as the War King, Peacock King, Taisu King, and other invincible sovereigns had stepped forward to protect the lives of the civilians, unwilling to witness the loss of innocent life.

With the three great invincible sovereigns taking action, naturally no one failed to show respect. Although they had each stepped into the mysterious cycle of reincarnation, no one had brought harm to living beings all this time.

The Heavenly King Invincible remained aloof, largely indifferent, so peace was maintained.

Unfortunately, the Three Great Empires, the university, one hundred and eight ancient countries, and many other forces had mostly perished in the war against Heaven Punishment. However, a small number of forces survived, albeit drastically weakened and with no capacity to resist.

The former experts of the Heavenly Slaying Alliance had gone into hiding, their whereabouts unknown. Even with a comprehensive search by the major powers, they were hard to find.

However, five years ago, some remnants of the Heavenly Slaying Alliance were discovered in a fragmented realm not far from the Tiandu Continent. All the major powers had appeared, triggering a terrifying great battle.

In this battle, saints perished on both sides, and the remaining members of the Heavenly Slaying Alliance suffered grievous casualties. Nevertheless, that fragmented realm ultimately restrained the experts of the major powers, allowing the remnants of the Heavenly Slaying Alliance to escape, though at a heavy cost.

This was the information Ye Chen had gleaned from the Heavenly Gate’s base stationed on the Tiandu Continent.

Upon learning this intelligence, he felt a heavy weight on his heart, realizing that the life of the Heavenly Slaying Alliance’s experts, with the Tiandu Academy Master at the fore, had been difficult after the devastating defeat of the war between the two worlds years ago. They had been constantly evading pursuit by the experts of the major powers.

Undoubtedly, that fragmented realm was the very Trial World of the past, where he once reigned supreme—refined by the Tiandu Academy Master himself.

In an instant, new intelligence arrived at the Heavenly Gate’s base. In a place called the Yunlan Ancient Forest in the Southern Domain of the Tiandu Continent, traces of the Heavenly Slaying Alliance’s remnants had been found. A brief but intense saintly battle erupted, with all the major powers rushing over, intent on capturing these remnants.

Hearing this news, Ye Chen’s heart sank. He turned to Wang Chen and, cupping his fist in the other hand, bowed respectfully, "I need to head to the Southern Domain first. Senior Wang Chen, please help me keep an eye on the King’s Ancient Road outside of the Tiandu Continent’s void for any signs of it." Ye Chen said.

During his month at Heavenly Gate, Ye Chen had informed the Heavenly Gate Master, Wang Chen, Weiwei, and others of everything that had happened since his reincarnation. Wang Chen, therefore, understood that Ye Chen’s parents were in the King’s Ancient Road and nodded with a smile, "Rest assured, if there is any news, I will inform you immediately and will take action to protect your parents."

"Senior Wang Chen, I am deeply grateful to you," Ye Chen said, his voice heavy as he bowed with clenched fists.

The thousand-zhang divine ship took to the skies, with quite a few Heavenly Gate strong figures following. Ye Chen wasted no time in piloting the divine ship straight toward the Southern Domain of the Tiandu Continent.

The Southern Domain was once home to no less than thirty-six nations, a place of great prosperity, with endless forests and abundant resources.

The Yunlan Ancient Forest was located near the southernmost tip of the Southern Domain, a wild expanse of primeval woods stretching tens of thousands of miles and inhabited by countless demon beasts—a treacherous land.

Now, the appearance of the major powers drew many powerful figures there, including saint-level individuals, due to the discovery of the remnants of the Heavenly Slaying Alliance.

Mighty figures rapidly descended upon the area, and enormous divine ships arrived one after another, representative of various major forces, including some undying forces, with their banners fluttering in the wind.

A furious aura spread, overwhelming heaven and earth, intimidating all who felt it. Demon beasts within a hundred thousand miles trembled in fear, full of terror, daring not to make a sound.

In the depths of the Yunlan Ancient Forest, a group of figures stood in the void—over twenty of them. The leader, a powerful Saintly Treasure Realm expert, and the rest, not the weakest among them was a Divinity Transformation Expert. However, they all appeared haggard and bloodstained, looking rather unsightly.

They were indeed the remaining members of the once great Heavenly Slaying Alliance, facing down the encroaching armies of the major powers, each of them clenching their fists in boundless despair.

The leader was a middle-aged man, and although his battle armor was tattered and worn, and his wild hair unkempt, it was clear that he was quite a heroic figure.

He held in his hand a pitch-black, sharp war spear—the only saint among them—and as he scanned the remaining members, he let out a soft sigh, "In a moment, I will go all out to secure a chance for you to survive. When the opportunity arises, flee immediately and do not attempt to resist."

Upon hearing his words, the twenty-odd Divinity Transformation Experts were all stunned, and then tears filled their eyes. They shook their heads in refusal, "Martial God Palace Master, we cannot abandon you. You should be the one to go. You are one of the few Holy Realm Gods within our Heavenly Slaying Alliance, indispensable. If you too leave, our alliance will have even less power to resist."

The middle-aged man was none other than the current Hall Master of the Martial God Temple, a formidable Divine expert.

The Martial God Palace Master sighed softly, speaking quietly, "Unless I break through to the Heavenly King Realm, what power will there be to resist? It is but futile resistance."

Everyone fell silent, for as the Martial God Palace Master said, without a Heavenly King appearing among them, the Heavenly Slaying Alliance had no chance against the great powers from the Ten Thousand Domains—it would be like a praying mantis trying to stop a carriage.

Boom—

A series of powerful auras rushed forth. The various major powers’ experts had arrived, no fewer than ten forces represented, with several saints among them sweeping their auras across the sky. Their booming voices echoed in the heavens, "Heavenly Slaying Alliance remnants, we offer you a chance. Surrender yourselves, disclose the location of all the remnants, and you may be spared."

The Martial God Palace Master’s eyes suddenly blazed with intensity, holding his pitch-black war spear across the void, pointing at the mighty figures from various powers. The full force of his supreme Saintly Treasure Realm power erupted, meeting their challenge.

He shouted out, "The Heavenly Slaying Alliance swears to never yield. Attack!"

And so, the great battle erupted!
