87: Demon Clan - Dream King

Three days later.

Inside the Taiyan Imperial Study.

Di Yan was reviewing memorials when the brush in his hand suddenly stopped. He lifted his gaze to look outside the hall.

Almost at the same time.

Master of the Ghost Valley's figure appeared silently in the center of the hall. He bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty..."

"I already know," Di Yan interrupted him with a wave of his hand and instructed Wei Zhongxian, who was standing to the side, "Go and summon Xiao Heng and Wang Jian."

"This old servant obeys your decree!" Wei Zhongxian quickly withdrew.

Only then did Di Yan look at Master of the Ghost Valley. "Three Early Stage Profound Immortals, five Perfected True Immortals, and thirty True Immortals."

"For so many people to descend silently, their designs are not small."

"Master of the Ghost Valley, if you were to deal with them alone, could you take them down within ten moves?"

Master of the Ghost Valley shook his head indifferently. "Your Majesty overestimates them."

"Let alone this small group, even if all the Immortals and Great Emperors of the Five Evolutions True Realm were added together right now, they couldn't withstand a single strike from me."

He paused and added, "Of course, Your Majesty, you are eternal and peerless; you are not included in this category."

Di Yan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, then asked, "Since you can solve it alone, tell me your plan?"

Master of the Ghost Valley flipped his palm, and a palm-sized blood-colored Formation Plate appeared.

"Your Majesty, this is the Formation Plate for the Myriad Transformations Blood Refining Formation. I deduced it by referencing the Asura Blood Domain of the God Slaying Army."

"If we can throw the corpses of those foreign powerhouses into the Formation and have our Tai Yan Soldiers guard the Formation eyes, we can refine their flesh and blood essence to accelerate our Cultivation speed."

A sharp glint flashed in Di Yan's eyes.

The Cultivation progress of the various armies' soldiers was indeed a bit slow right now.

With the support of this Formation, the strength of the Tai Yan Soldiers would surely soar.

"Tell me, what are the drawbacks of this Formation?" Di Yan asked directly.

Master of the Ghost Valley nodded. "Your Majesty's insight is clear. Although this Formation is powerful, it harms the harmony of heaven and has two obvious weaknesses."

"First: It is only effective for Cultivators below the True Immortal Realm."

"Second: After using this Formation to advance, one's Realm will become unstable and hollow, requiring a long time to consolidate."

"Compared to the God Slaying Army's Asura Blood Domain, the side effects are much greater."

"Your Majesty, should we use it?"

Di Yan tapped his fingers lightly on the Imperial Desk, falling into deep thought.

Once the True Immortals and Great Emperors of these races are killed, the forces behind them will find out sooner or later.

This Formation has obvious flaws; although the improvement is fast, the Foundation is unstable, and it might even lead to a regression in cultivation.

But right now, allowing the soldiers to increase their strength as quickly as possible to have a better chance of survival in the upcoming great war is the most important thing.

The problem of an unstable Realm can only be solved later, or they can hope that the enemy's follow-up forces arrive a bit slower.

Soon, Di Yan made a decision.

"Use it! First, ensure the soldiers can survive. We'll deal with the unstable cultivation later."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Master of the Ghost Valley accepted the command.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian walked into the Imperial Study with Wang Jian and Xiao Heng.

"Old Minister Xiao Heng."

"this humble general Wang Jian."

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The two bowed in salute.

"Rise." Di Yan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the two. "Xiao Heng, how many foreign races have withdrawn from the Five Evolutions True Realm?"

Xiao Heng immediately reported, "Replying to Your Majesty, only four or five weak small races left yesterday. The strongest in those races were only at the Early Stage True Immortal Realm."

He paused and added, "If Your Majesty hadn't achieved Immortal Ascension three days ago and intimidated all directions, I'm afraid not a single one of these races would have left."

Di Yan nodded.

He was already clear about the reasons.

Back then, these foreign races joined forces to carve up the Five Evolutions True Realm, and now they naturally continue to band together.

Once they collude, the small races no longer fear the Dynasty.

Those few who left likely felt that staying wouldn't yield any benefits.

"Xiao Heng, hear my command!"

Di Yan no longer hesitated and decided to take the initiative.

He had remained inactive before mainly because he was wary of the high-level powers behind these races.

In particular, the God Race, Demon Race, and Yao Race still have Immortal Kings presiding in the Myriad Laws Star Realm.

Now that the opponent has come to his doorstep, further delay is meaningless.

"Your servant is here!" Xiao Heng responded solemnly.

"Order the border Heavenly Army to push outward! Within half a year, take the Eastern Wasteland, Northern Abyss, Southern Border, and Western Desert for me!"

"In addition, specifically instruct each army to preserve the enemy's corpses as much as possible during battle."

"Yes! Your servant will handle it immediately!" Xiao Heng took the order and quickly withdrew.

Di Yan turned his gaze to Wang Jian.

"Wang Jian!"

"this humble general is here!" Wang Jian stepped forward.

"Your mission is to guard the Immortal City and protect the people within."

"The enemy's Great Emperors and True Immortals will likely appear directly outside the city."

"Once the fighting starts, you must not let the battle affect the innocent civilians!"

"this humble general obeys the command!" Wang Jian responded in a deep voice.

Just then.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying auras suddenly descended, pressing down on the Taiyan Immortal City like heavy mountain ranges!

Di Yan, Master of the Ghost Valley, and the others looked up at the same time.

They saw that outside the Taiyan Immortal City.

Figures of Great Emperors and True Immortals appeared quietly.

Seeing this, a trace of coldness flashed in Di Yan's eyes.

"They really can't wait."

...A dozen breaths ago.

Inside the Eastern Wasteland's Myriad Demon Palace.

Space rippled, and a beautiful figure appeared quietly.

She wore a red dress and possessed peerless elegance. Behind her, nine fox tail phantoms swayed gently, their halos blurring.

As soon as she appeared, all the Yao Race in the hall, including the Azure Dragon True Immortal, felt their Divine Souls sway, almost getting lost in that dreamlike aura.

Phantom Dream King!

The Azure Dragon True Immortal was the first to snap back to his senses. His heart chilled as he hurriedly led the demons to bow and salute: "Welcome the arrival of the Phantom Dream King!"

The Emperors lowered their heads and held their breath, not daring to be even slightly negligent.

This Prodigy from the Supreme World possessed a noble Bloodline and unfathomable strength, far beyond what they could compare to.

Phantom Dream King raised her jade hand, and her lazy voice rang out: "This King already knows the situation. Is that Di Yan really that powerful?"

The Azure Dragon True Immortal did not dare to hide anything. He detailed the process of Di Yan crushing four True Immortals and twenty Great Emperors with one palm, and finally triggering the Nine-Five Saint Demise Tribulation.

Phantom Dream King listened quietly. No joy or anger could be seen on her beautiful face, only her eyes, which contained a galaxy, flickered slightly.

"Using the Physical Body to forcibly withstand the Nine-Five Saint Demise Tribulation is somewhat interesting." The corners of her lips curled slightly. "In this remote place, a true dragon has actually appeared. However..."

She changed the subject, her gaze sweeping over the demons. "A true dragon that doesn't know how to bow its head often dies the fastest. The God Race and Demon Race must also be unable to sit still, right?"

As if to confirm her words.

Above the Northern Abyss Divine Crystal Sea.

A majestic figure appeared, his voice resounding through the Northern Abyss: "Those who desecrate the gods shall receive divine punishment! Emperor Yan, your arrogance ends here!"

At the Southern Border Skeleton Demon Palace.

A three-headed, six-armed Demon God Avatar roared towards the sky: "A Human Race brat who just became an Immortal dares to tell us to scram? I will crush your bones and suppress your Divine Soul in demon flames forever!"

At the Western Desert Golden Palace.

A powerhouse of the Golden Lionman Race stepped through the void: "Human Race Immortal Court? Under this Immortal's claws, it's nothing but chickens and dogs! Our race wants one-fifth of the Central State!"

Besides these three strongest races.

Reinforcements from over a dozen races, such as the Rock Spirit Race, Wind Howl Race, and Shadow Race, also arrived one after another.

Perfected True Immortal Old Ancestors, powerhouses holding clan-suppressing Immortal Artifacts... powerful auras intertwined, causing the air in the entire Five Evolutions Realm to freeze.

Inside the Myriad Demon Palace.

Phantom Dream King felt those powerful auras and smiled sweetly. "Everyone is here. This farce should end."

She looked at the Azure Dragon True Immortal and ordered, "Pass the command: all Yao Race Great Emperors and above shall follow this King to the Taiyan Immortal City. It's time for this Lord of the Immortal Court to recognize reality."

"Report—!"

A palace guard rushed into the hall, instantly attracting all eyes.

The palace guard immediately felt cold sweat pouring down, his body trembling slightly.

The Azure Dragon True Immortal looked at the Thunder Prison Yao Emperor.

Thunder Prison immediately scolded: "What's the panic! Can't you see we are discussing important matters!"

The palace guard braced himself and reported: "Reporting to the Yao Emperor, urgent news from the border! Forty million troops of the Dynasty are marching towards our Eastern Wasteland and are expected to enter our race's territory in fifteen minutes!"

Blood Fang Great Emperor sneered disdainfully upon hearing this. "Forty million? Has that Emperor Yan gone mad with fear? With just the meager Foundation of the Dynasty, he dares to take the initiative to attack?"

He turned to the Phantom Dream King with a face full of flattery. "Lord Phantom Dream King's Divine Might is invincible!"

"That Emperor Yan must have heard of your arrival and, knowing his defeat is certain, has become desperate!"

"Such ants are perfect for us to test our skills for you and crush them!"

The other Yao Race Great Emperors also followed suit with flattery, their words full of contempt for the Dynasty, praising the Phantom Dream King to the heavens.

But they seemed to have completely forgotten how their legs had turned to jelly when they witnessed Di Yan undergoing his tribulation three days ago.
