The Dark Night Siege Battle, occurring once every hundred thousand years, could be considered the grandest event on the Plunder Heaven Plains.
At that time, all the young geniuses from the Dragon Phoenix Academy would rise up together to attack, assaulting the ancient Sovereign city of Dark Night City, clashing bloodily with the bandits of the Plunder Heaven Plains to seize the qualification slots for entering the Ancient Divine Domain.
Over the past half month, countless Heaven's Pride talents from the Myriad Domains had already set foot on this notoriously dangerous Plunder Heaven Plains.
For the various great nations and merchant caravans in the peaceful zones and the edges of the Plunder Heaven Plains, this was absolutely a good thing. After these Dragon Phoenix Academy geniuses appeared, all the bandits and robbers across the entire Plunder Heaven Plains were on high alert, seeing enemies everywhere, all tensed up and no longer as arrogant and rampant as before.
The great bandits deep within the Plunder Heaven Plains had long since issued orders: if they encountered these Myriad Domains Heaven's Pride talents, they were to kill them directly without too much consideration.
The bandits in the outer regions had no idea of the true fearsomeness of those young geniuses from the Dragon Phoenix Academy. They all merely thought those young geniuses were nothing but young juniors; no matter how capable they were, they couldn't be that strong. Entering the Plunder Heaven Plains was completely suicidal, let alone talking about the Dark Night Siege Battle.
These bandits all pounded their chests, swearing they wouldn't let them set foot half a step into the inner region, blocking them all in the outer region.
It was precisely because of this arrogant mindset that, within just a few days, countless battles broke out in the outer regions of the Plunder Heaven Plains, all collisions between bandits and Dragon Phoenix Academy geniuses.
However, the results of the battles were overwhelmingly one-sided in over ninety-nine percent of cases. The geniuses of the Dragon Phoenix Academy crushed them completely, sweeping through, leaving an unknown number of bandits dead and strewn across this once arrogant and lawless wilderness.
The vast majority of bandits roaming the outer regions retreated to the inner region at the fastest possible speed, their faces filled with terror. Where was the slightest trace of their previous arrogance and tyranny? They acted as if facing a formidable enemy, fleeing as far as possible upon seeing those young Dragon Phoenix Academy geniuses.
Because they had finally witnessed the fearsomeness of this era's Myriad Domains Heaven's Pride talents, monstrous to the point of being utterly terrifying.
What kind of young generation was this? Every Heaven's Pride prodigy they encountered possessed terrifyingly powerful strength, far from being ordinary members of the younger generation. Anyone who came out casually rode a fearsome Divine Transformation Realm spirit beast through the skies, their divine power surging and churning. They hadn't seen a single person whose cultivation was weaker than the fifth level of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Super Divine Transformation geniuses traveled in groups, and there were many Peak Divine Transformation and even Demi-Saint cultivators.
They had even witnessed several young Saints, absurdly youthful, appearing, descending upon the Plunder Heaven Plains, striding with arrogance, sweeping across the plains, directly crushing and slaughtering one bandit gang after another as if entering unopposed territory—truly terrifying.
These bandits finally tasted enough bitterness and were also baffled. What kind of people were these, each so young, so monstrous?
But how could they know that these young geniuses could almost be called the most powerful batch of Heaven's Pride prodigies in the history of this epoch? There were contemporaries and also ancient heroes sealed away from past eras. Their cultivations were naturally shockingly fearsome, and they also possessed various secret treasures bestowed by their respective forces. They were simply overwhelmingly powerful; who could contend with or rival them?
Kings were constant, and True Kings also emerged, utterly unstoppable.
The Myriad Domains Heaven's Pride talents charged directly into the vast Plunder Heaven Plains dominated by bandits. Any bandits who tried to block them were swept aside, with few able to withstand them.
They directly swept across the Plunder Heaven Plains, delving deep into the inner region, even intending to occupy the ancient cities one by one, approaching and descending upon Dark Night City, making all preparations before the Dark Night Siege Battle.
Within the inner region of the Plunder Heaven Plains, there were a total of thirty-six ancient cities. Aside from the twenty-four that were the strongholds of the Twenty-Four Great Bandits, the remaining eleven cities, excluding Dark Night City, each had powerful figures stationed and guarding them.
Usually, these ancient cities were regarded as forbidden zones; who would dare entertain even the slightest thought?
But now, the many Myriad Domains Heaven's Pride talents emerging from the Dragon Phoenix Academy had all set their sights on these ancient cities.
The Plunder Heaven Plains was truly facing a formidable enemy.
They had never before experienced encountering so many fearsome Heaven's Pride talents. Even in the historical Dark Night Siege Battles, it seemed they couldn't compare to the present situation.
During this period, the intelligence hall of the Heavenly God Palace was selling like hotcakes. Countless copies of various intelligence related to the Plunder Heaven Plains and the Dark Night Siege Battle were sold, earning who knows how many millions of catties of spirit stones—definitely counted in the millions.
Each of these Myriad Domains Heaven's Pride talents was a key figure nurtured by major powers; how could they lack spirit stones?
When everyone purchased intelligence, they all tossed down piles upon piles of spirit stones without batting an eye, reaching a crazily extravagant level.
Therefore, they all learned about the situation of the thirty-six ancient cities. Aside from the cities occupied by the Overlord-level great bandits ranked in the top thirteen, all the other ancient cities attracted the attention, or rather, the covetous gaze, of these Myriad Domains Heaven's Pride talents.
Each of the Twenty-Four Great Bandits of the Plunder Heaven Plains was a ferociously terrifying figure, the weakest being at least a Fourfold Heaven Ancient Saint-level character. The top thirteen were each a Fivefold Heaven Overlord-level figure, immensely powerful and fearsome.
There was no lack of Saint Lord-level or even Saint Realm pinnacle ancient recluses.
Great bandits of this level would make even True King Heaven's Pride talents wary, let alone others who held them in awe and reverence. But the cities of the other great bandits after the Thirteen Great Bandits and the other bandit Saints were a different matter.
If they could seize an ancient city at this time, it would undoubtedly be of immense help for the future Dark Night Siege Battle; this was beyond doubt.
On this day, a full thousand Myriad Domains Heaven's Pride talents stepped into the inner region of the Plunder Heaven Plains, attacking twenty-two ancient cities, beginning to seize sovereignty over the cities.
The various great bandits had long since received the news and were furious. They were lofty figures who dominated the Plunder Heaven Plains. Historically, only others held them in awe and reverence; no one had ever dared to attack them, openly assaulting their cities.
The eleven Ancient Saint-level great bandits after the Thirteen Great Bandits each descended to their respective main cities. Though furious, they all activated their ancient city defensive formations, standing ready and vigilant, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
The cities of the other bandit Saints were the same, clearly aware of the fearsomeness of this era's Myriad Domains Heaven's Pride talents recruited by the Dragon Phoenix Academy, not daring to be the least bit careless.
Battle erupted directly. Twenty-two ancient cities suffered fierce assaults from numerous Heaven's Pride monsters, engaging in intense battles with the various great bandits. Divine power surged, extremely terrifying.
In Wind Heaven City, Ye Chen sat cross-legged atop the towering city wall. His closed eyes opened, releasing piercing light as he suddenly looked into the distance. At this very moment, dozens of powerful Heaven's Pride figures were rapidly approaching.
Myriad Domains Heaven's Pride talents, intending to assault the city.
