In the blink of an eye, the Light Faction's army had arrived. Their presence was imposing, standing densely packed throughout this expanse of starry sky. The sheer aura of power emanating from them shook the very fabric of space around them.
At their head were six Earth Immortals, standing in a row amidst the stars, exuding an immense pressure.
Though there were only six Earth Immortals, having just arrived fresh, their presence was far more vigorous than the Earth Immortals who had been locked in bitter combat on this battlefield for so long.
"Hmph, wherever you people of the Dark Faction go, nothing good ever comes of it," snorted the elderly Earth Immortal standing at the very center of the Light Faction's formation. His gaze swept across the blood-soaked battlefield, littered with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. "This great battle can be considered a prelude to the World-Destroying War."
"What World-Destroying War? You of the Light Faction self-proclaim yourselves as the righteous faction, yet you also resort to such tricks of spouting malicious slander? How laughable!" a Dark Faction Earth Immortal retorted with a cold laugh. "Our Dark Faction was invited by these Five Great Powers to deal with their enemy, the Reincarnation Palace! What does that have to do with any World-Destroying War?"
"Hahaha…" laughed the leading Light Faction elder. "Do you think I don't know the intentions of your Dark Faction? Everything you've done is merely to provoke conflict among the major powers of this spacetime. Your Dark Faction just follows behind, waiting to reap the rewards after others fight. I suspect your Dark Faction plans to first let these Five Great Powers and the Reincarnation Palace exhaust and wound each other. Then you'll step in, exterminate what's left of both sides, and collect their flesh, blood, and soul body essences to bring back as nourishment. It is laughable that you Five Great Powers, for your own selfish gains and internal strife, banded together to come and fight the Reincarnation Palace. I bet the reason you Five Great Powers initially united to form an alliance against the Reincarnation Palace must have been due to the instigation and manipulation of the Dark Faction from behind the scenes. This is the Dark Faction's usual tactic. Before the last World-Destroying War, the Dark Faction used this same method to effortlessly cause the downfall of many great powers through internal strife. You Five Great Powers are actually willing to accept the Dark Faction's provocation, colluding with them to achieve your base ends. You may be riding high now, but the time for your tears will come." His voice rang out clearly, amplified by Immortal power, rolling through and resounding across the starry sky.
The higher-ups of the Five Great Powers all had their complexions change slightly upon hearing the elder's words.
Because the Light Faction elder spoke the truth. The reason these Five Great Powers had initially united to deal with the Reincarnation Palace was precisely because of the Dark Faction's instigation behind the scenes.
The leaders of these five powers were not fools. Thinking back on it slightly now, they immediately grasped this point!
"Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting?" Mo Xiangtian of the Qingxuan Sect took a step forward, speaking coldly. "This great war was jointly launched by our Five Great Powers with the aim of eradicating the Reincarnation Palace. It has no connection whatsoever to any World-Destroying War. The World-Destroying War is a matter between your Dark Faction and your Light Faction. Our powers have no interest in participating. Moreover, the World-Destroying War pertains to affairs within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. It has nothing to do with our Main World. A World-Destroying War will not occur in the Main World."
The main reason the Five Great Powers had chosen to cooperate with the Dark Faction was precisely because they knew that all previous World-Destroying Wars had taken place within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and were unrelated to the Main World.
"Hahaha… Who told you the Main World won't experience a World-Destroying War? Do you truly believe the Dark Faction has no interest in your Main World? Then tell me, why has the Dark Faction suddenly deployed so many large forces to garrison within the Main World recently? Is it just for fun? Let me tell you the truth. The upcoming World-Destroying War has as its target all worlds within this spacetime! Not only your Main World, but also the Netherworld, the Demon Realm, the Devil Realm, the Shadow Realm, and the Tianpo Realm—not a single world will be spared! According to the Dark Faction's plan, every single living being in this spacetime is to die!" The leading Light Faction elder laughed heartily first before slowly stating his piece.
"Utter drivel! What you say has absolutely no credibility," the Dark Faction Earth Immortal who had spoken earlier sneered again. "Do you truly think our Dark Faction possesses strength great enough to deal with all those Special Worlds like the Main World, Demon Realm, Devil Realm, Shadow Realm, and Tianpo Realm simultaneously? If our Dark Faction truly possessed such power, wouldn't wiping out your Light Faction be as easy as lifting a finger? Our Dark Faction's primary target is none other than your Light Faction's destruction!"
"Exactly! That's the logic here!" Mo Xiangtian immediately added. "If the Dark Faction had the power to take on so many Special Worlds, wouldn't destroying your Light Faction be extremely easy?"
The other higher-ups of the Five Great Powers also wore expressions of doubt, clearly not believing the Light Faction elder's words.
Although the Dark Faction had sent twelve Earth Immortals this time, the strength of these twelve Earth Immortals wasn't considered particularly powerful. Among the Earth Immortals killed earlier by Su Qingluo, at least one-third belonged to the Dark Faction.
So, in the minds of the Five Great Powers, while the Dark Faction's strength was considerable, it absolutely wasn't strong enough to simultaneously deal with that many Special Worlds.
Thus, the Five Great Powers' leaders began to disbelieve what the Light Faction elder was saying.
"That is because the Dark Faction has not yet truly displayed their full power," the Light Faction elder stated in a grave voice. "Once they reveal their true strength, you will know true terror."
"This battle has no need to continue. Let us return first for now." At this moment, the higher-ups of the Five Great Powers suddenly received a voice transmission from Old Man Li of the Qingxuan Sect.
The Dark Faction's leadership also issued the command to withdraw.
Both the Five Great Powers and the Dark Faction understood that with the arrival of the Light Faction's army, continuing this great battle held no further meaning. Victory was no longer possible.
Following Old Man Li's order, the forces of the Five Great Powers began to retreat in waves.
The Dark Faction's troops also pulled back.
"Ancestor, Palace Lord Su, they're fleeing!" The elders of the Reincarnation Palace all looked towards their Reincarnation Ancestor and Su Qingluo.
"Let them go," the Reincarnation Ancestor said slowly.
Having listened to the Light Faction elder's words earlier, he had begun to feel wary. It was likely that today's great battle truly was a result of the Dark Faction's instigation, concealing some sinister plot behind it!
In the starry sky, the armies of the Five Great Powers and the Dark Faction retreated like a receding tide. In moments, they had vanished into the distant stars.
All members of the Reincarnation Palace collectively let out a sigh of relief. In their hearts, they understood that the Reincarnation Palace had finally weathered the catastrophe of this day.
