839: Chapter 840 The Battle of Heaven

Just as the Old Ancestor of the Black Abyss was secretly plotting, within the Chaos Void...

The mighty Immortal Domain army crossed the Chaos Void, its vanguard pointing directly at the heart of the Black Abyss Realm.

The closer they drew to the Black Abyss Realm, the more shocking the sights along the way became; countless world ruins of all sizes drifted in the Chaos Void.

Some had once been prosperous worlds, while others were Small Worlds that had nurtured billions of living beings, but now, without exception, they had all turned into a deathly silent wasteland.

The surfaces of those worlds were covered in grayish-white cracks as they drifted silently in the Chaos Void, their world origins having been extracted to nourish the Black Abyss Realm.

The army continued forward, and finally, after passing through a thick haze of Chaos, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

Looking out, the Black Abyss Realm before them was like an ancient Vicious Beast crouching in the Chaos, so massive it was suffocating.

Yet, this world had long lost its rightful vitality; its world barrier was dim and covered in cracks, like a giant egg about to shatter, on the verge of collapsing completely at any moment.

Daoist Purple Bamboo stood at the very front of the army, his robes rustling loudly.

He gazed at this dark world before him, his eyes calm, but his hand gripping the hilt of his sword slowly tightened.

It had been millions of years.

The blood feud between the Immortal Domain and the Black Abyss spanned long ages, burying the bones of countless heroes.

Today, the time for reckoning had finally arrived.

"Everyone, fall back."

Daoist Purple Bamboo spoke calmly.

The army retreated as ordered, leaving a vast emptiness.

Daoist Purple Bamboo took a deep breath and slowly swung the longsword that had accompanied him through endless ages.

The blade was simple and unadorned, yet it flowed with a sharp intent that caused heaven and earth to change color.

*Rip—!*

A golden sword energy spanning hundreds of millions of miles tore through the sky, carrying an indomitable, overbearing Sword Intent.

The sword light slashed fiercely against the world barrier of the Black Abyss, and in an instant, a world-shaking roar echoed in all directions!

Immediately after, with that sword scar as the center, countless cracks rapidly spread like a spider's web, covering the entire world barrier!

*Rumble—!* The entire Black Abyss Realm began to shake violently!

The earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and rivers flowed backward!

Inside the Black Abyss Realm, countless surviving demonic creatures looked up at the sky in terror, only to see a massive rift appearing in the heavens.

Golden light poured down from the rift, briefly dispersing the gloom that had shrouded the Black Abyss Realm for millions of years!

The world barrier had been split open by a single slash from Daoist Purple Bamboo!

In the deepest depths of the Black Abyss Realm, the Progenitor of the Black Abyss was originally resting with his eyes closed, attempting to absorb all the remaining Origin power of the Black Abyss Realm before going to seek secrets from Gu Changge.

Suddenly, the entire space shook violently. He snapped his eyes open, a fierce light flaring in his turbid vertical pupils.

"Someone... is attacking the world barrier?"

"Hmph! What audacity!"

With a sweep of his Divine Thought, he immediately sensed the mighty army outside the barrier, as well as the white-haired old man at the lead, holding a longsword and surrounded by golden light.

"People from the Immortal Domain? The leader is actually at the fourth-level of the Heaven-Reaching Realm?"

The Progenitor of the Black Abyss was taken aback at first, but then a cold, grim smile curled up on his lips.

"The Immortal Domain indeed has secrets. I haven't even gone to find you, yet you've delivered yourselves right to my doorstep."

He slowly stood up, a sickly flush appearing on his pale face.

The hatred from his Clone being slain still lingered in his heart. Now that the Immortal Domain Coalition had taken the initiative to invade the heart of the Black Abyss, it further ignited the fury in his chest.

He had occupied the Black Abyss for endless ages; when had he ever been bullied at his own doorstep like this?

"Very well, it saves me a trip. Since you've come, then all of you shall stay.

It just so happens that your flesh and Souls can also help me recover some of my cultivation."

His gaze shifted, landing on the white-robed figure hovering above the allied forces, a trace of ruthlessness and greed flashing in his eyes.

"Especially that white-robed brat. His Physical Body is so powerful; if I can refine him, my injuries might recover by more than half!"

Thinking of this, he hesitated no longer and raised his hand to send out an order.

A moment later.

Two dark figures silently appeared at the entrance of the space. Their bodies were shrouded in thick black demonic mist, making their faces unseeable, only allowing a glimpse of two pairs of cold, ruthless eyes.

The two knelt on one knee in unison, their heads bowed, their voices hoarse and respectful:

"Progenitor."

The Progenitor of the Black Abyss nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two.

These two were originally the most brilliant and ancient overlords of the Black Abyss Realm, You Sha and Ming Huang.

After fleeing back to the Black Abyss Realm back then, he used his Demonic Technique to forcibly control them, and at a huge cost, raised them to the sixth-level of the Heaven-Reaching Realm.

For many years, these two had guarded his seclusion place without taking a single step away, ensuring he was not disturbed during his slumber and healing, and preventing any petty scoundrels from taking advantage of him.

The Progenitor of the Black Abyss was suspicious by nature; even in his own lair, he was never completely at ease.

If not for the protection of these two, he could not have slept peacefully for millions of years.

The Progenitor of the Black Abyss looked at them and said calmly:

"Some fools who don't know the depth of heaven and earth have arrived outside. Go out, the two of you, and make sure none of them leave alive.

Especially that white-robed brat, you must capture him alive for me.

Bring him back, extract his Divine Soul, and search his secrets. I want to see how on earth he managed to slay my Clone!"

"By your command!"

You Sha and Ming Huang took their orders in unison, transforming into two streaks of demonic light, wasting no more time.

Outside the Black Abyss Realm.

The rift in the world barrier grew larger and larger, the outline of the entire Black Abyss Realm shook violently, and the edges of the rift continued to expand.

At this moment, the remaining garrison forces of the Black Abyss Realm had also poured out.

Densely packed demonic figures surged out from the rift, blotting out the sky like a black tide, attempting to block the advance of the Immortal Domain Coalition.

As far as the eye could see, demonic figures swarmed, and Devilish Qi soared to the heavens.

However, when this Black Abyss army truly faced the Immortal Domain Coalition, they all froze momentarily in unison.

For what they saw was an iron-blooded army with an Aura like a rainbow and killing intent soaring to the heavens.

The Immortal Domain Coalition were in neat arrays, their battle flags fluttering, and the flame of vengeance and the conviction of victory burned in the eyes of every soldier.

Just then, two black lights shot up into the sky from the rift, hovering in the void.

Looking down from above at the endless stretch of the Immortal Domain Coalition, their eyes were filled with contempt and brutality.

"A bunch of defeated remnants dare to break into our Black Abyss Holy Land? You truly don't know the height of the heavens!"

You Sha sneered shrilly, his cold gaze sweeping across the allied forces as if looking at a flock of sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

"If we hadn't been guarding the Progenitor's recovery all these years without leaving for a single moment, a mere Immortal Domain would have been taken long ago."

As his voice fell, the terrifying pressure of the sixth-level of the Heaven-Reaching Realm blanketed the sky, enveloping hundreds of millions of miles of the void.

This pressure rolled down as if it were physical, causing all the Immortal Domain soldiers present to feel a tightness in their chests, as if an invisible mountain were pressing down on their shoulders!

Within the ranks of the Immortal Domain Coalition, the expressions of countless soldiers changed dramatically, and their breathing hitched.

That pressure was too terrifying, far exceeding the comprehension of the vast majority of people present.

Some Immortal King and Immortal Sovereign realm Cultivators with slightly lower cultivation felt their knees go weak and their spines creak, as if they would be forced to their knees by this pressure at any moment.

The clamor of the entire field instantly fell into a dead silence, everyone's eyes locked tightly onto the two demonic figures high in the sky.

They could clearly perceive that these two Auras were vast and majestic, far surpassing ordinary Heavenly Emperors, and were even several times stronger than any Black Abyss expert they had encountered in the past.

Yet amidst this stagnation, a tall and straight figure slowly stepped forward.

Daoist Purple Bamboo.

His steps were steady, and with each step he took, his Aura rose by a notch.

By the time he reached the very front of the allied forces, his vast Aura, belonging to the fourth-level of the Heaven-Reaching Realm, had already spread out like something physical.

Forcibly pushing back half of the pressure that You Sha and Ming Huang had brought down!

"The fourth-level of the Heaven-Reaching Realm?"
