"After a while longer, the Alien Demon God will be refined by the seals left behind by the Great Sage September in the past and his ancient Great Sage weapon, turning into a mass of the purest source power, comparable to the source of a Great Sage, possessing infinite wonders. It has long been coveted by those supreme powers. Moreover, Great Sage September placed several crucial divine treasures within the seals of this world. Once the seals are broken, these divine treasures will also emerge, and countless powerful experts will descend to vie for them," the War King said.
After all, this Alien Demon God was one that Great Sage September had paid a great price to seal down. Comparable to a Great Sage, what was used to seal it was his ancient Great Sage weapon from his lifetime and several priceless divine treasures that would make even other ancient Great Sages across the myriad realms covetous.
Once the Alien Demon God was successfully refined, that would also be the time for the seals to be broken. These priceless treasures would attract the true powerhouses of the myriad realms to descend and engage in a great scramble.
At that time, for the entire Tian Du Continent, it would be an even more terrifying catastrophe.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen's expression suddenly changed drastically.
He had always wondered why so many powerhouses in the myriad realms were eyeing the Tian Du Continent. It turned out the seal of the Alien Demon God wasn't the main focus; the most important things were the Demon God's source after refinement and the priceless divine treasures used to seal the Alien Demon God in the past.
He had a premonition that in the not-too-distant future, the Tian Du Continent would become a battlefield for the powerhouses of the myriad realms. It would suffer a terrible destruction during the struggle, the entire continent would shatter, and billions of lives would be lost.
It was a scene woven from flesh, blood, and white bones, filled with bloodshed.
The War King seemed to be able to see the worry in Ye Chen's heart and said, "At least ten years, at most no more than fifteen years, the Alien Demon God will inevitably transform into its source."
Only ten years?
For the first time, Ye Chen felt how pressing time was. It wasn't for the sake of the Tian Du Continent—he wasn't that magnanimous—but for the parents who had given him life and raised him in this life, he needed to become strong.
He needed to restore himself to the peak of his previous life to be able to suppress all heroes.
Boom—
The most terrifying attacks were acting upon the war domain propped up by the War King. The Supreme Old Academy Head and Great Sage Hong Tian were continuously attacking, wanting to shatter this layer of the war domain.
"Cough—"
Even someone as strong as the War King coughed up blood. It wasn't just the attacks from the two Supreme Divine Spirits; there was also the law power of this world transforming into light rain and chains of order constantly striking the light cocoon. The pulling force from the laws of the two realms in the sky was something even the War King found difficult to endure for long, and he was finally injured.
This made Ye Chen somewhat worried, but the War King shook his head to indicate it was nothing. His blood energy surged mightily; this level of injury was nothing at all.
"Time is running out, Qian Yue. Come with me and leave this demonic land, return to the myriad realms. That is where you truly belong," the War King said, wanting to take Ye Chen away from this world.
But Ye Chen shook his head at him. "War King, I'm sorry, but I cannot leave this world for now."
"Why?" The War King was taken aback. "You must understand that Qingqing, the Goddess, Ruoxi... they have all been waiting for you. Don't you miss them?"
Ye Chen's strong heart trembled slightly. Before his eyes appeared the beautiful figures of several peerless women, each one stunningly beautiful and extraordinary. It was as if he could see scenes of them weeping, which pained his heart.
His gaze flickered for a moment but quickly became firm again. "I miss them very much. But in this life, my parents and friends are still in this world. I cannot irresponsibly leave like this. Give me some time. After a while, I will definitely leave this world and return to the myriad realms."
"Alright, I'll wait for you," the War King said.
Boom—
The war domain shattered, transforming into surging vital essence that filled the sky, agitating this spatial channel. It even turned into intertwining chains of order that collided with the attacks of the two Supreme Divine Spirits, dissipating the law light rain and chains of order from this world.
The War King sent out a surge of mighty power, pushing Ye Chen away. He also replenished Ye Chen's weakened state after falling from the Battle God realm and sent him back to the edge of the spatial channel of this world.
Great Sage Hong Tian's figure shattered, unable to hold on any longer. But just before completely dissipating, he also transformed into a shower of light that swept Ye Chen over, safely returning him to the edge of the spatial channel, protected by the power of the Supreme Old Academy Head.
The Supreme Old Academy Head mobilized the source power of the trial world, fused it with his own Divine Spirit power, and unleashed the most terrifying strike—a beam of destructive light aimed at the War King, one that could even pose a fatal life-and-death crisis to a Divine Spirit realm expert.
But the War King showed no fear at all. He circulated his supreme War Dao power, transforming it into a blazing sun that collided forward.
Boom—
The heavens collapsed and the earth cracked. An unprecedented great collapse occurred within the spatial channel, beginning to truly annihilate, disintegrate, until it ultimately dissipated, everything turning formless.
Finally, an intangible divine sense streaked across the void and entered Ye Chen's brow. It was the War King's divine sense, sending a message: "Qian Yue, you must be careful. Some of those formidable enemies from the past have already stepped into the cycle of reincarnation. It is said they are to be reborn in another life, re-entering the path of cultivation with a weak body to perfect their Great Dao, and return one day to impact the Tenth Heaven. I strongly suspect they possess extraordinary means, preserving their memories, not stripped away by reincarnation."
"The world has undergone a great change. Rumors say that true peerless geniuses sealed away from the Mythical Era have emerged, also intending to tread the Human Sovereign path of this era, vying for the hope of becoming an Emperor in this lifetime. You truly have enemies now."
This news shocked Ye Chen. Gazing at the spatial channel submerged by the surging destructive light, it was as if he could see the vast, boundless myriad realms of the other world, where several peerless great enemies stood between heaven and earth, locking gazes with him, filling him with pressure.
He remembered those few exceptionally powerful individuals, each one an invincible figure who had contended with him on the Human Sovereign path in his previous life, hailed as Immortal True Kings, revered across the myriad realms, capable of matching a supreme being like himself.
Forty years had passed, and they had all surpassed the Divine Spirit realm, truly stepping into the mysterious Reincarnation realm.
Then he thought of Fairy Caiyun, that enigmatic woman. He strongly suspected she was one of those former great enemies within the cycle of reincarnation.
As for that period called the Mythical Era, said to have buried an entire epoch, with true peerless geniuses sealed away, he wasn't surprised either. In the future, when he treads the Human Sovereign path, contending for the hope of becoming an Emperor, he would inevitably have battles with these peerless geniuses.
Finally, it all truly ended, because the spatial channel completely disintegrated, impossible to penetrate again. From his conversation with the War King just now, he learned that the powerhouses of the myriad realms had spent a considerable price to construct it successfully this time; it was impossible to penetrate again.
Ye Chen stood there silently, watching the spatial channel disintegrate.
The Supreme Old Academy Head appeared by his side, manifesting in his true form for the first time. He was a kindly old man with gentle features, but once he took action, he would become incomparably fierce—an existence of the supreme Great Dao Divine Spirit.
"Little friend Ye Chen, are you alright?" the Old Academy Head inquired with concern.
Ye Chen shook his head. "Thank you for your concern, Old Academy Head. This junior is fine."
Looking at this Supreme Divine Spirit revered by countless people, Ye Chen felt not a shred of awe. He suddenly sighed inwardly about the Slaying the Heavens war.
The living beings of this world were all pitiful. Everyone, from birth, had their life source tainted by demonic energy. Although thin, once they left this small world sealed and suppressed by countless seals from Great Sage September, it would erupt, transforming them into demons.
The Tian Du Continent had planned for millennia just to be able to leave, not wanting to be monitored, existing only within this prison world. But the powerhouses of the myriad realms wouldn't let them leave, only to prevent them from becoming demons and wreaking havoc across the myriad realms. He believed the War King's words; the War King wouldn't lie.
Both sides had ample reason to act this way, but the living beings of the Tian Du Continent were undoubtedly pitiable.
However, Ye Chen didn't know how to voice this. It would likely only arouse suspicion from these people.
"That's good," the Old Academy Head nodded, a flicker of relief in his eyes. But the next moment, his gaze became sharp as he stared intently at Ye Chen. "Do you know this alien race's strongest Divine Spirit, the War King?"
Ye Chen was slightly taken aback, not expecting the Old Academy Head to ask so directly. But naturally, he couldn't answer that he did. He shook his head in denial. "I don't."
The Old Academy Head seemed somewhat unconvinced, his gaze flickering, but he didn't press further. This battle was now over; the most difficult period had passed. The alien Divine Spirits would no longer descend into the trial world, allowing him to finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
Because this battle had been too difficult, not just due to the strength of the other alien Divine Spirits, but also because this War King's power was terrifyingly overwhelming, far more fearsome than the other Divine Spirits.
He could sense the formidable combat power and killing intent emanating from this War King, as if he had strode over mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with countless lives buried behind him, terrifying beyond measure.
He even believed this War King had once slain a true Divine Spirit; otherwise, his killing intent wouldn't be so terrifying.
The sudden invasion of the alien army didn't just affect the trial world; it also affected the Tian Du Continent.
The Supreme Old Academy Head left only a strand of divine sense behind to guard the place and immediately rushed to aid the Tian Du Continent, because the battlefield there was even more difficult. All the Divine Spirits of the entire Tian Du Continent had emerged. A total of four spatial channels had opened, and the alien powerhouses had chosen to descend into this world simultaneously from four different locations.
Fortunately, the Tian Du Continent also had several Divine Spirits who had immediately broken their seals within the sealed World's Heart fragments to resist.
This disaster shook the entire Tian Du Continent. The alien Divine Spirit aura released from the four spatial channels pierced through, shaking the mortal world, terrifying countless beings and making their hearts tremble.
Paper could not ultimately wrap fire. For the first time, they learned that the world they lived in was one monitored and sealed off by an alien race, making it difficult for them to accept and shocking them all.
It must be said the alien powerhouses were too powerful. It wasn't just a single War King; there were other equally terrifying alien Divine Spirits, like the mysterious Tai Su King, whose magic power was like a sea, divine power overwhelming, who almost truly crossed over.
The Divine Spirit responsible for blocking that spatial channel was the ancient ancestor Divine Spirit of the Tenglong Empire. He had taken out his ancestral Dragon-Slaying Saber, fully revived it, and mobilized the foundational power accumulated over the years for the Slaying the Heavens plan.
He suffered considerable injuries, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, before finally managing with great difficulty to block that mysterious Tai Su King.
On another side, the spatial channel guarded by the Martial God Hall's Hall Master faced an eerie and extremely powerful peerless king—the Space King.
That was a Divine Spirit who appeared quite young, looking only fifteen or sixteen, with hair like a waterfall, delicate and youthful features, a doll-like face, blinking large, clear black-and-white eyes, beautiful to an almost unbelievable degree, enough to make many women envious.
But this beautiful youth was a true Divine Spirit, and moreover, like Li Taixu, he practiced the Void Dao, but to a terrifying degree many times greater.
He directly employed the supreme kingly Void Dao to open the spatial channel, piercing through the two realms, directly pushing his way in. Unlike his pretty and cute appearance, he possessed a forceful and cold-hearted nature.
The Martial God Hall's Hall Master was known for his strength, ranking among the foremost of the Divine Spirits on the Tian Du Continent. But he was no match for the opponent's Void Dao principles. All his power could be easily deflected, and the opponent quickly crossed over.
If not for the fact that the various Divine Spirits received the protection of the world, able to communicate with the source power of the Tian Du Continent and borrow greater strength, they would have found it difficult to resist.
The alien race was too terrifying. It wasn't just this War King; there were also this Tai Su King, a Divine Spirit named the Peacock King, all belonging to the ranks of supreme Divine Spirits, and all appearing very young, with boundless, vigorous blood energy, making their hearts tremble.
The appearance of the Supreme Old Academy Head gave them a turning point, providing strong and powerful support. Like Great Sage Hong Tian, he went to the two spatial channels where supreme Divine Spirits were attacking, containing them, preventing them from crossing over.
Everyone prepared for a difficult and protracted battle. However, not long after, the two most powerful supreme Divine Spirits left one after another. Vaguely, the figure of that War King could be seen flickering in the background.
The various Divine Spirits were alarmed. If the War King also took action, he might truly descend into this world completely, leading to the most difficult Divine Spirit battle yet.
But to their relief, these several strongest alien Divine Spirits all retreated, not choosing to attack, leaving them both relieved and puzzled.
Not long after, the spatial channels all shattered. The source power of the Tian Du Continent repaired the void, completely mending it, making it impossible to cross over again.
Thus, a terrifying war between the two realms finally ended, allowing the beings of the Tian Du Continent to breathe a sigh of relief, truly thinking a world-destroying war was about to happen.
But it also made countless people realize one thing: the Tian Du Continent was not a free continent. It was monitored and sealed off by an alien race, unable to leave, reduced to a prison world.
Naturally, this was only known to the cultivators of the cultivation world. Among the common people, only a small portion spread the news; most remained unaware.
"So the Tian Du Continent where my ancestors and I have lived for generations is actually just a prison world monitored by an alien race! Heaven, why do you toy with us like this!"
A cultivator who learned the inside story couldn't accept it. He raised his head and roared at the sky, questioning the heavens.
