Chapter 540: The All Heavens' Signal

Chapter 540: Chapter 468: The All Heavens’ Signal

Unfortunately.

He had just reached Saint Master Peak.

And the World Fate Arena between the two realms had opened without any warning.

The arenas at the Six Celestial Passes were for those at Great Venerable Perfection, the Five Celestial Passes for those at Venerable Perfection…

In other words,

he could only enter the stage at the Four Celestial Passes.

Even if he won, the benefits couldn’t compare to those from the arenas at the higher Celestial Gates.

And that master of his…

“Haaah… that thing you mentioned, how confident are you…”

He let out a soft breath.

Wuchen suppressed the irritation in his heart and turned to ask the Big Black Wolf in his Inner World.

“Don’t be hasty.”

The Big Black Wolf shook his head. “Your current strength isn’t enough for them to take you seriously. You’ll need to at least step into the Great Emperor Sequence, and with my help, you’ll have some bargaining power.”

‘A Great Emperor…’

Wuchen’s mouth twitched.

He was currently at Saint Master Great Perfection.

To reach Great Emperor… to put it bluntly, there were still over a hundred minor realms to go!

Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

However,

this was Shanhai Pass.

And in this special era, as long as he didn’t die on the battlefield, achieving the rank of Great Emperor in a short time wasn’t entirely inconceivable.

But…

‘The Human World?’

‘Ranked second among the three scourges of the All Heavens.’

‘I heard they recently teamed up with the number one scourge, the Dragon Hunting Tower, to stir up trouble in Hongyuan.’

‘They’re a bunch of complete extremists!’

Wuchen even suspected,

‘Is the Big Black Wolf trying to set me up?’

Out of caution,

he was actually resistant to the idea. If not for the increasingly terrifying pressure from his master, he really didn’t want to get involved with the notorious Human World.

…

“The Human World, the Dragon Hunting Tower…”

While the outside world was in turmoil,

Wu Dao, submerged deep within the Miasma Abyss in a bizarre Black and White Sea, received news about the Human World and the Dragon Hunting Tower targeting the Primordial Sect.

After the two scourges joined forces,

they had become quite tyrannical.

They were madly harvesting the spirits and bodies of living creatures in the Border Wilderness of the All Heavens Domains.

The Overlords and Common Lords of the All Heavens were focused on Shanhai Pass, and because they only operated in the Border Wilderness, they had grown completely unrestrained.

Originally,

Wu Dao had already taken a step back.

He’d only let the Primordial Sect harvest from the worlds that the two cancerous tumors looked down upon.

But he never expected

the Human World and the Dragon Hunting Tower to be so greedy.

They wouldn’t even leave him the scraps!

His temporary avoidance was seen as weakness, and they kept snatching the Primordial Sect’s share, acting as if they wanted to take everything.

The consequence

was that Wu Dao was having a hard time recruiting people.

Because he couldn’t protect them.

‘I’ll endure you for a while longer!’

Wu Dao’s consciousness was chillingly cold. He checked his breakthrough progress; it wouldn’t be long before he officially broke through to the Second Tribulation.

Once the matter of the two-realm arena was settled,

and he had his hands free,

he would make those two bastards pay, giving them a taste of their own medicine!

While Wu Dao was fully focused on his breakthrough,

outside the All Heavens Pass,

the blood-red Chaos arena, like a Great Wall separating the two realms, was forming faster and faster as the two realms’ Dao fates clashed!

Hongyuan and Mountain and Sea.

Both were preparing for war with great urgency.

From the Ancestral Lands of the Four Great Primordial Clans of Mountain and Sea, meticulously cultivated Little Ancestors of various realms began to emerge, heading for the frontline arenas.

On Hongyuan’s side,

the All Heavens Lords also realized the gravity of the situation. Some of the top-tier monsters they had been hiding away began to hurry towards Shanhai Pass, their eyes set on the great fortune of civilization.

The allure of this civilizational fortune was too great.

Even

the Celestial Court, which had always watched from the sidelines,

had Direct Disciple Celestial Emperors emerging from under the various Celestial Venerables of the Nine Heavens. The other Common Lords, or Primordial Old Monsters, did the same.

For a time,

Shanhai Pass was teeming with Daoist Children who were the Direct Disciples of Primordial Chaos experts, causing quite a stir.

“Shameless bastards! You never see them lifting a finger in the past, but the moment there’s a fortune to be had, they run faster than anyone!”

“What can you do? They’re the Direct Disciples of Common Lords and Primordial Chaos experts. They’re born with privileges. Not even the great draft of the All Heavens can force them.”

“Who cares if they’re shameless? At a critical juncture like this, one more top-tier Celestial Pride means a better chance of victory. Let’s just hope they’re not all talk.”

“The fangs of Mountain and Sea are growing more menacing. After this, I expect the behemoth All Heavens Lords will finally start getting serious.”

…

The arrival of the All Heavens’ hidden Celestial Prides

caused a major stir in Shanhai Pass. Some smelled something different in the air, believing it was a signal from the All Heavens Lords of Hongyuan.

In years past,

it was said to be Hongyuan versus Mountain and Sea,

but in reality, only the Buzhou Celestial Domain was shouldering the main burden. The behemoth Common Lords of the other Celestial Domains were just going through the motions, refusing to act until the situation was dire.

The opening of the World Fate Arena twice

finally made them realize that the coffin was at their doorstep and the Slaughter Blade was hanging over their heads.

If the defensive line at Shanhai Pass couldn’t hold!

And with the Celestial Court—ostensibly Hongyuan’s number one Common Lord—watching coldly from the sidelines, their fate would be anything but pleasant!

The emergence of these hidden Celestial Prides

was indeed the signal they were sending.

Soon after,

the behemoths of the All Heavens would officially join the war!

RUMBLE—

On the seventh day of the World Fate Arena’s appearance,

under the watchful eyes of the All Heavens,

a vast, rumbling thunder of the Great Dao, like the booming of a Divine Drum, exploded across the boundless Shanhai Pass, spread throughout Hongyuan, and stirred countless souls like the spring thunder of Jingzhe.

“Soon.”

In the Heavenly Court’s Nine Heavens,

at the Profound Celestial Peak of the Supreme Mysterious Heaven,

a magnificent existence cast its gaze across the surging Tribulation Qi of Shanhai Pass and the Hongyuan Nine Domains. The unbelievable figure once again vanished without a trace amidst a thousand pulling threads.

“Tsk, the main event is about to begin.”

In the Divine Ruins Heaven,

the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon King emerged from a strange space-time on a small boat. His gaze swept over Shanhai Pass before turning toward a roiling sea of bitter waves deep within the Divine Ruins Heaven.

His expression was filled with excited anticipation.

Compared to a few years ago,

he was no longer so green and childish, having seemingly grown from a child into a youth, but his innocent and free-spirited nature remained completely unchanged.

“There isn’t much time left.”

In the Chaotic Star Heaven,

the Taiyi Emperor Star suddenly closed itself off.

Starlight glowed faintly in its core, where the nascent form of a Great Dao civilization could be vaguely seen, reflecting the sun, moon, and stars of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. The voice carried a new sense of urgency.

“That monster… I’m afraid he can’t be trusted.”

At Shanhai Pass, within the Nine Heavens Pass,

in a fissure of Buzhou Mountain’s main range, at the bottom of a black Abyss that suppressed numerous traitors, a scarlet light stubbornly persisted in the indescribable darkness.

Upon sensing the opening of the two-realm arena,

the Slaughter Emperor also felt a deep sense of crisis and urgency. Seemingly having made a decision, he proactively advanced into the deeper darkness.

「Meanwhile」

ancient and terrifying existences among the All Heavens Lords, and even within the Dragon Hunting Tower and the Human World, cast their gazes toward the roiling Tribulation Qi of Shanhai Pass.

Some were filled with worry.

Others, with anticipation and longing.

But one thing was universal:

this anomaly made them all set a certain resolve that would determine the course of the future.

DONG DONG DONG—

The Great Dao Divine Thunder War Drum continued to beat.

The beacons are lit, the great war is here!

The crisis of life and death radiated through the Dao fate to all beings, affecting endless dimensions and spacetimes, sweeping across the vast Mountain and Sea and the Hongyuan All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!

The Seven Days Pass!

“In a collapsing Great Era, only an Emperor can bear the weight!”

The Celestial Desolate Domain!

Within the Seven Days Pass, the eyes of Pan Huang, the Little Martial Ancestor—the only one to become a Domain Master with the rank of Quasi-Emperor—erupted with unparalleled, world-conquering Battle Intent.

He listened to the war drum of the Great Dao.

His three thousand strands of black hair fluttered as his heroic, imposing figure strode out of his training grounds. His magnificent back, under the gaze of a million eyes, walked step by step toward the arena outside the pass.

“He’s infinitely close to becoming a Great Emperor!”

Gasps of awe followed him wherever he went.

The generals and Great Emperors of the Seven Days Pass

sensed a wondrous Dao Essence on the Little Martial Ancestor, a state between the finite and the infinite, proving that he could take that final step at any moment.

But he did not choose to take that step and avoid this battle!

Remaining in the Quasi-Emperor realm, he interrupted his seclusion with an invincible posture, shouldering the weight of being number one on the Primordial Emperor’s List, intent on holding up the sky for the Seven Days Pass!

VMMMM!

Light and darkness shifted as divine beings from all worlds descended!

After the Little Martial Ancestor, in another territory of the Seven Days Pass guarded by the Innate Divine Race, the brilliant orders of darkness and light intertwined, spreading the Divine Dao.

From within the sacred Great Dao,

a young Divine Emperor who had been inspecting the mortal world emerged. He carried a Black and White Divine Wheel on his back, his divine light so dazzling it was impossible to look at directly. He gave a distant nod to the Little Martial Ancestor before hurrying toward the arena.

Number two on the Emperor’s List, the Light and Dark Divine Venerable!

As the standard-bearer of this generation’s young Divine Beings from the Innate Divine Race, his legend at Shanhai Pass was no less than that of the Little Martial Ancestor.

If not for a freak like the Little Martial Ancestor,

the Light and Dark Divine Venerable would have absolutely dominated the Emperor’s List!

For no other reason

than the fact that he was of the Innate Divine Race!

In terms of Great Dao bloodline, he was even nobler than the Mountain and Sea Wilderness Gods. Born from the Innate Rules and order, he could be called a true child of the Great Dao!

Unfortunately,

after the Second Tribulation, the Divine Race had fallen into decline and never recovered.

Their numbers were few.

Otherwise,

the Innate Divine Race alone could have steamrolled the Mountain and Sea!

After all, they were once the number one race of the All Heavens, who had ruled Hongyuan for countless ages during the Second Tribulation and were only brought down from their divine altar by the combined forces of the Ten Thousand Races.
