Chapter 1722 - Blood-soaked Eternal Heaven 4 (1/2)
Chapter 1722 - Blood-soaked Eternal Heaven (4)
The northern border of the Eastern Divine Region.
When the Voice of Eternal Heaven started to ring in the air, the faces of Zhou Xuzi and everyone else from the Eternal Heaven God Realm dramatically changed as bewilderment appeared in their eyes.
“Yun… Che!” Zhou Xuzi turned his head towards the sky, a sinister look flashing across his face.
He would never forget Yun Che’s voice, even if he died!
However, deep panic, shock, and fear appeared on his face after that.
That was clearly the Voice of Eternal Heaven, something that could only be released by the Eternal Heaven Bell!
This meant that Yun Che was currently in the Eternal Heaven Realm… and the Eternal Heaven Bell was located in its very heart.
“Royal father! This sounds like the Voice of Eternal Heaven!” Zhou Qingfeng said in a heavy voice. “Could it be…”
“Wha… What is going on?” The Guardians who were with him raised their heads to look towards the heavens. For a moment, they could scarcely even believe their own ears.
At this time, the sound transmission jades of Zhou Xuzi and all of the Guardians started flashing and buzzing with incredible intensity. Hoarse, trembling voices filled with fear and panic started crazily flooding through them.
“Royal father, devil people have invaded! We don’t know how they appeared inside our realm… but royal father, you need to hurry back! You need to hurry back!!”
“My lord, three incredibly frightening monsters have appeared in the realm. All of our main profound formations have been destroyed. Also… what… what is that… red profound ark… AAAAHHH!”
“My lord, our Eternal Heaven is under attack! Swiftly return to help us!”
………………..
As one of the king realms of the Eastern Divine Region, they were a power that stood at the pinnacle of the current era. They did not fear any enemy and no one had ever dared to create trouble in their realm.
However, the sound transmissions that were bombarding them now tore at their hearts and minds. Every word filled Zhou Xuzi with cold dread.
The Eternal Heaven God Realm was always surrounded by an isolation barrier and if they truly met with any colossal danger, they could activate a barrier that was practically indestructible, one that was on par with the “Absolute Star Soul Barrier”.
However, as those witlessly terrified voices reverberated in his mind… he could scarcely believe, could not even imagine, what sort of frightening situation had suddenly confronted them.
It was also at this moment that the sound transmission jades of all the gathered higher realm kings started flashing like mad… Their expressions started changing and each was uglier than the last. Fear and panic started to appear in their eyes, and it was as if all of them had been plunged into a nightmare.
“Sect Master! Devil people have invaded… We’re currently surrounded by them!”
“Royal father! You need to return as quickly as you can… These devils are endless and some of them are even Divine Masters! Our sect protection barrier is about to break!”
“Sect Master! We are facing a countless number of devil people… The Ninth Elder has already…. Ah! Young Master! Young Master…. UWAAAAH!!”
Their ears were ringing with the news that their star realms, their sects, were being besieged… Miserable wails and the booming sound of energy exploding filled these short sound transmission and it was as if they were seeing a literal sea of blood spread out in front of them.
These one hundred and forty-three realm kings had responded to the call of the Eternal Heaven God Realm, and they had even brought all of their realm’s elite forces together with them!
They had come to the northern border to encircle and exterminate all devils. However, devil people had now appeared in the southern territories and started to attack their undefended homes.
Furthermore, the devil people who were attacking their homes were far more frightening in both power and numbers.
They were stunned by these developments. Blood started draining from their faces as their bodies trembled violently… They could not believe what was happening. Why and how had the devils appear in the southern territories?
All the news, all their senses, told them that the devils had been running wild in the northern territories. Furthermore, the number of devil people far exceeded their wildest estimations.
Just how many devil people had the Northern Divine Region mobilized! Just how had they appeared in the southern territories!?
Zhou Xuzi’s entire body went cold. He stared at Chi Wuyao and his voice trembled as he spoke. “What a great Devil Queen! What a great Northern Divine Region!”
“Eternal Heaven God Emperor!!”
Before Zhou Xuzi had even finished speaking, a higher realm king yelled at him in a hoarse voice. He had practically scrambled to Zhou Xuzi and his face was warped as he yelled at him in a hoarse voice, “Hurry! The grand teleportation formation… Hurry up and activate the grand teleportation formation! My sect is under siege and I need to go back! I NEED TO GO BACK!”
His hoarse, deafening roar startled and roused everyone, as if waking them up from a dream. None of the higher realm kings could even be bothered with the Devil Queen of the North at this moment. All of them rushed towards Zhou Xuzi as their eyes bulged out in extreme shock and fear. They started to yell and beg Zhou Xuzi in extremely hoarse voices.
“Hurry! The teleportation formation… Where is the teleportation formation!”
“If I don’t go back now, my sect is finished! The leader of the devils who are attacking my sect is very likely a level five Divine Master or stronger! Eternal Heaven God Emperor! ETERNAL HEAVEN GOD EMPEROR!!”
Boom!
An energy wave exploded outwards. Under the power of the Guardians, all of the higher realm kings that were rushing toward Zhou Xuzi were fiercely shoved backwards. Zhou Xuzi sucked in a deep breath as he strove to compose himself. His voice was heavy and laced with pain as he said, “The grand dimensional formation’s foundation in the Eternal Heaven God Realm has been destroyed. We… were tricked by these devils.”
The foundation of their formation had been destroyed and the Great Void Cauldron had fallen into Yun Che’s hands. Even if Zhou Xuzi and the six Guardians who had accompanied him had the power to traverse the heavens, there was no way they could build a dimensional formation that could connect the north and the south of the Eastern Divine Region in such a short amount of time.
“Aiyah, tricked? You’re making it sound really awful,” Chi Wuyao said in a cheery voice. “The smart aleck who brought all of them here wasn’t this queen, you know. It was you, Eternal Heaven God Emperor. But now you want to blame little old me? How shameless.”
Chi Wuyao’s words hit Zhou Xuzi like a bucket of soul-piercingly cold water.
The sound transmission continued to ring in his ear, each voice was more shrill and terrified than the last, and he felt as if countless blades were being plunged into his heart.
“Eternal Heaven God Emperor, we all came here on your…” A higher realm king was on the verge of tearing his scalp open. His eyes were swimming with panic and confusion and he immediately came to his senses. No matter how furious or resentful he was, the person he was speaking to was the Eternal Heaven God Emperor. So how could he curse him? How would he even dare to curse him?
He suddenly sprang to his feet and rushed toward the south as he roared in a hoarse voice, “Go! LET’S GO!!”
Now that one higher realm king had already spoken up, what did the rest of them have to wait for?
After a moment, countless profound auras erupted at full force. The strong individuals who had crossed half a divine region to come assemble here crazily surged toward the south—the direction in which their star realms lay.
None of them even bothered to bid the Zhou Xuzi farewell, much less hesitate. What devil people? What Devil Queen of the North? They could not even be bothered about those things right now.
Their star realms, their sects, the foundations of their ancestors, their wives and children… At this moment, they were being assailed by an incredibly fearsome devilish calamity!
The only thing they could do was to return home as fast as they could! They hated that they could not burn their blood essence to increase their speed by even a little bit.
Zhou Xuzi had completely lost control of the situation. Even the dignified authority of the Eternal Heaven God Realm was completely useless under such circumstances. Zhou Qingfeng was also urging his father anxiously. “Royal father, we need to get back as fast as possible. Those invading devil people seem to be far more fearsome than we have even dreamed of. If we don’t… If we don’t, it really might be too late!”
“...” Zhou Xuzi circulated profound energy through his body as he tried his best to maintain his composure, but his chest was already violently heaving and that bone-penetrating chill had long since spread from his heart to his entire body.
Wails of despair actually started to ring in his ears… Tai Yu and the rest of the Guardians had remained behind in the Eternal Heaven God Realm along with all of their elders. They also had billions of disciples and it was even their homeground. How did the situation get so bad in such a short amount of time?
“Return!” He clenched his teeth together so hard that they nearly shattered as he gave that command. None of the people from the Eternal Heaven God Realm dared to hesitate for even a moment. A storm was left billowing in their wake as they rushed to return home.
“You want to leave?” Chi Wuyao’s bewitching lips curved up into a small smile. “Did you ask for this queen’s permission!?”
The black mist wreathing Chi Wuyao’s body dispersed and gently brushed over like black silk. That simple movement alone immediately created a black scar in space that was hundreds of kilometers long.
It was as if she had carved an abyss of darkness into the very fabric of reality.
The heavens and the earth split apart under the might of that “abyss”. The sect disciples who were weaker were instantly swallowed up by it and they did not even have time to scream before they were turned to nothingness.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A whole bunch of strong individuals slammed into the ground and some of them suffered heavy injuries on the spot… However, not a single person turned around to retaliate. In fact, they did not even bother casting a glance in her direction. They immediately took to the skies again as they desperately rushed south.
An incredibly strange and ridiculous scene was playing out at the Eastern Divine Region’s northern borders.
A huge crowd of Eastern Divine Region profound practitioners were trying to flee south with all of their might. Meanwhile, a single person, Chi Wuyao, was corralling ten million people all by herself and every time she attacked, she took countless lives.
There was clearly such a huge disparity in strength between both sides, yet no one bothered to turn around and attack her.
Their homes were being besieged by devil people, if they were late by even a fraction of a second, their entire sects and clans might already be wiped out.
Now that even their roots were going to be pulled out, where could they find the heart or time to fight Chi Wuyao?
Rumble!!
The Eternal Heaven God Emperor swiveled his head to look back at her. He flung out his horsetail whisk and his power collided with Chi Wuyao’s power in midair. At the same time, he crushed three strangely-colored crystals in his hand, causing three small sound transmission profound formations to appear.
“Brahma Monarch God Realm, Star God Ream, Moon God Realm… The Eternal Heaven God Realm is under attack and the situation is extremely severe. Please rescue us!”
The sound transmission profound formation disappeared and Zhou Xuzi managed to calm himself down a little… From the sound transmissions that had come from the Eternal Heaven God Realm, he knew that the dimensional formations connecting it to the three other king realms had been destroyed as well.
However, given the distance between the king realms and the extreme speed at which they could respond, they would definitely arrive within several hours.
