Starting from today, the Dark Realm will be expunged from the annals of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!"
A powerful figure from the Dark Faction army stepped forward and declared in a loud, clear voice.
It was one of the two Dark Faction Golden Immortals!
"Scram!"
An icy female voice rang out from within the Dark Realm. It was Lü Dandan.
"Charge in and slaughter them!"
The Dark Faction Golden Immortal waved his hand and bellowed.
The Dark Faction army behind him surged toward the Dark Realm like a vast, rolling black ocean.
BOOM! RUMBLE…
Just then, earth-shaking roars erupted from the Dark Realm. Nine black rivers surged out from within its borders. Torrents of inky black water churned and raced along each river, kicking up waves hundreds of *zhang* high that made the surrounding space tremble incessantly.
The heads of these nine black rivers seemed to surge forth from the void, while their tails vanished deep into the distant, unknowable void, making their origins and destinations impossible to discern.
Billows of thick, pitch-black mist rose from the nine rivers. This mist possessed a powerfully corrosive nature, causing the surrounding space to sizzle and crackle, riddling the area with pits, bumps, and dark spatial holes within moments.
BOOM!
The nine black rivers swept across the sky with terrifying might, immediately blocking the leading wave of the Dark Faction army. Countless members of the Dark Faction saw their bodies explode on the spot; a massive number perished instantly.
"Heavens! That looks like the legendary Nine Nether Dark Rivers! Wasn't it said that the Nine Nether Dark Rivers of the Dark Realm had vanished long ago? Could they have been recovered now?"
Many powerful beings from other worlds in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, seeing the nine black rivers, immediately recalled the mythical nine mysterious rivers of ancient legend—the Nine Nether Dark Rivers!
"Nine Nether Dark Rivers?"
The two Golden Immortal experts of the Dark Faction stared at the nine sinister black rivers before them, their expressions turning grave. They could sense that these rivers contained terrifying dark-type energies.
Forced to a halt by the nine black rivers, the Dark Faction army was compelled to stop.
At that moment, cheers and mocking laughter rose from within the Dark Realm.
"Could this Dark Realm have ties to that legendary ancient organization?"
Seeing the nine black rivers, the two Dark Faction Golden Immortal experts suddenly recalled a certain ancient and mysterious organization. They communicated through divine sense to discuss.
"That legendary ancient organization has long been submerged in the river of history. I suspect the beings of this Dark Realm might have obtained some legacy left behind by that organization, allowing them to forge these nine Nine Nether Dark Rivers. It's quite normal for some legacies of that organization to have survived and spread throughout the world. I think we need not overreact. Even if this world truly has connections to that ancient organization, so what? Do you think our Dark Faction still has any reason to fear them?"
After a moment's discussion, one of the two Golden Immortals said coldly.
"True enough. That ancient organization is most likely extinct. Even if some legacy truly remains, our Dark Faction has nothing to fear. It's just that these nine black rivers are incredibly powerful. Our combined strength might not be enough to handle them."
The other Golden Immortal expert nodded, then spoke.
"Let's wait for our Grand Ancestor to return first."
After discussion, the two Dark Faction Golden Immortals decided not to act for now, as they lacked confidence to deal with the Nine Nether Dark Rivers.
"We go to the Light Realm!"
Leading the Dark Faction army, the two Golden Immortal experts changed direction, marching grandly towards the Light Realm.
Not long after, the two Golden Immortals brought the Dark Faction army to the borders of the Light Realm.
The Light Realm was utterly silent and still.
"Look! The Dark Faction wants to strike the Light Realm!"
Many powerful beings across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were tracking the movements of the Dark Faction army. Seeing it arrive before the Light Realm, they cried out.
"Kill your way in!"
The two Golden Immortal experts waved their hands simultaneously.
BOOM! RUMBLE…
At that moment, a massive booming sound erupted from the Light Realm. The onlookers saw a brilliant, dazzling golden disc roaring and rumbling its way out of the realm.
It was the Great Light Dharma Wheel!
The Dark Faction army members at the forefront couldn't evade in time and were crushed into pulp by the wheel.
"All Earth Immortals, attack together!"
The two Dark Faction Golden Immortals led all the Earth Immortals in the army to jointly assail the Great Light Dharma Wheel.
"Dark Faction, just wait. We *will* repay this debt!"
A voice rang out from within the Great Light Dharma Wheel. Then, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the brilliant disc rumbled away, directly entering the distant chaotic void and disappearing.
"All life from the Great Light Realm has been taken by that wheel."
The two Golden Immortals, leading their army, charged into the Light Realm, only to find it an empty world, all living beings gone.
The expressions of the two Golden Immortal experts grew extremely ugly. Following the orders left by the Dark Ancestor before his departure, they were to attack all worlds, factions, and beings connected to Ye Yunfei in this spacetime. Yet they had failed to invade Canghuang Realm. They had failed at the Dark Realm. And now, at the Light Realm, they had failed again.
"There's still one world connected to Ye Yunfei: the Primordial Continent! We heard Ye Yunfei spent some time adventuring there in the past. Let's go destroy that world. At least then, we'll have something to report when the Grand Ancestor returns."
The two Dark Faction Golden Immortals deliberated briefly, then led their army toward the Primordial Continent.
Not long after, led by the two Golden Immortal experts, the Dark Faction army flooded into the Primordial Continent like a vast, dark ocean and began slaughtering the beings within.
Although the Primordial Continent was far stronger than before, it stood no chance against the Dark Faction army.
Countless living beings in this world were brutally massacred!
Amid the chaos, a portion of the world's inhabitants managed to flee.
Finally, the two Dark Faction Golden Immortals personally took action, blasting the Primordial Continent apart. It shattered into several pieces; the world was utterly destroyed.
Lü Dandan appeared at the entrance of the Dark Realm, observing the situation in the Primordial Continent. After a moment's hesitation, she ultimately chose not to intervene.
She knew that even if she could fight both Dark Faction Golden Immortals simultaneously, she wasn't confident of defeating them. There was simply no way to stop the Dark Faction army's massacre on the Primordial Continent.
Although the Dark Realm also had armies, the previous battle with the Dark Faction had caused significant casualties; her forces were currently recovering. Another fight would likely lead to even greater losses. Moreover, the Dark Faction headquarters still held vast armies in reserve. If hostilities escalated and drew even more Dark Faction forces, the Dark Realm would likely be unable to cope.
Besides, all factions and individuals in the Primordial Continent connected to Ye Yunfei had long been evacuated by Ye Yunfei himself.
After weighing all this, Lü Dandan finally chose not to act.
"The Dark Faction truly is too brutal!"
Witnessing this scene, many powerful beings across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds felt a chill in their hearts. Not a single faction or world dared to step forward to aid the Primordial Continent.
"At least destroying this world gives us something to report to the Grand Ancestor."
After obliterating the Primordial Continent, the two Dark Faction Golden Immortals breathed a sigh of relief, then led their army back to their headquarters.
"The Dark Faction destroyed our home. This enmity, this hatred, stands between us like heaven and earth!"
After the Dark Faction army departed, some blood-soaked beings stealthily returned to the ruins that were once the Primordial Continent. Gazing at the devastated world before them, their eyes blazing with fury, they gnashed their teeth and vowed.
**Meanwhile, within the Demon Realm of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds...**
Inside a majestic, demonic hall thick with yao qi sat several elderly demons exuding overwhelming demonic aura. Terrifying demonic power rippled from their seated forms.
"According to the information gathered by our Demon Capital, many powerful Deities were born in the ancient era of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Therefore, this spacetime must contain numerous remnants of divine energy and laws. That Yin Seed absorbed an immense quantity of flesh, blood essence, and Soul Body essence from the living beings of this spacetime during its cultivation. Furthermore, the Dark Ancestor used secret arts to extract the energies and laws from most of this spacetime's worlds to nurture this Yin Seed. Consequently, that Yin Seed must contain energy and laws of Deity-grade within its form.
Our Demon Lord is at the most critical juncture of his breakthrough. If he can obtain that Yin Seed, absorb and refine it, the benefits would be immense!
Thus, this time we must exert our utmost effort to seize the Yin Seed and bring it back as an offering to our Demon Lord!"
One of the old demons spoke in a sinister voice.
"However, besides us, many experts from other major powers also covet that Yin Seed—like the Demon Capital and the Great Netherworld. Moreover, the Dark Ancestor has already left this spacetime. He must have returned to the Dark Faction headquarters to call for reinforcements. When he returns, his strength will surely increase dramatically. Therefore, seizing the Yin Seed will not be easy for us."
Another old demon beside him spoke gravely.
"The Dark Ancestor can call for help; can't we do the same? Activate that Teleportation Altar immediately! Send a member back to the Demon Capital to request aid! No matter what, our Demon Capital is determined to have that Yin Seed!"
The first-speaking old demon sneered.
Soon after, an ancient Teleportation Altar deep within the Demon Realm was activated. Surging yao qi shot into the heavens, shaking the entire Demon Realm. Then, an old demon stepped onto the altar and teleported away.
This was an extremely ancient Teleportation Altar capable of long-distance spacetime travel. The Demon Realm's higher-ups had discovered recently that this ancient altar suddenly activated on its own, allowing several terrifyingly powerful old demons to descend into the Demon Realm.
These were the three Golden Immortal-level old demons!
It turned out that in ancient times, the Demon Realm of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds was always a branch of the Demon Capital. Later, the Teleportation Altar malfunctioned, severing the Demon Realm's connection with its main headquarters.
But now, the old demons of the Demon Capital used a great magical power across the vast distance to successfully repair this ancient Teleportation Altar within the Demon Realm, then dispatched three experts through it.
This was because the higher-ups of the Demon Capital had heard that the Dark Faction was cultivating a Yin Seed in this spacetime and had sent people to seize it.
**At the same time, within the Demon Realm of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds...**
Inside an ancient palace stood a demonic Teleportation Altar wreathed in miasmic energy, currently being activated.
A tall, imposing Demon Clan member stood upon the altar.
"Remember to report the situation here to the elders of the Demon Capital. Ask them to dispatch more experts for reinforcements."
Several Demon Clan members stood beside the altar, instructing the demon on it.
Then, the Teleportation Altar erupted with powerful teleportation energy, whisking the tall demon away.
**The same situation occurred within the Underworld (Diyu) of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds...**
A pale-faced middle-aged man stood upon a Teleportation Altar engulfed in billowing death energy, and directly teleported away.
This Underworld expert was also returning to his main headquarters, the Great Netherworld, to summon reinforcements!
**At the same time...**
**Within a Small World in the Fae Continent...**
An ancient Teleportation Altar forged of Chaos Gold was radiating with brilliant light. Several elders of the Heaven Gold Clan stood guard around the altar, their expressions filled with immense excitement.
Had Ye Yunfei been present, he would have immediately recognized these Heaven Gold Clan elders.
"It seems true. Our clan from the main headquarters will indeed arrive through this Teleportation Altar. Heaven is merciful! After so many years, our branch has finally reconnected with the main headquarters. From now on, we can come and go freely!"
One of the elders spoke in a voice trembling with excitement.
BOOM! RUMBLE…
Suddenly, the altar trembled violently, unleashing powerful spacetime energy.
"Our clansmen from the main headquarters are about to arrive!"
The elders were ecstatic, their eyes fixed expectantly on the altar's platform.
Suddenly, space split open on the altar's platform, revealing a teleportation passage.
Then, a tall, golden-yellow entity stepped out from the passage.
"Is this the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds? It seems we have arrived successfully."
The tall being surveyed the surrounding space and spoke.
Next, five or six more beings, each radiating torrents of golden light, emerged from the passage one after another.
"We welcome our clansmen from the main headquarters!"
Seeing these beings emanating terrifying auras, the Heaven Gold Clan elders were overwhelmed with joy. They immediately rushed forward and respectfully proclaimed.
