137: Chapter 137 The Angels, the Alliance Against Calamity

Three streaks of light, like falling meteors, sliced through the sky and finally hovered above the Yanhuang Immortal Capital, revealing three figures.

On the left, surrounded by purple electricity and booming thunder, was a majestic and fiercely aura-emitting middle-aged Daoist wearing a purple thunder Daoist robe and a purple-gold crown. He was the envoy of the Nine Heavens Realm, known by his Daoist name "Daoist Leixiao." As a Personal Disciple of Monarch Jiuxiao, his thunder Daoist arts had reached the Transcendent stage, and his cultivation had impressively reached the Late Stage of Void Refining (Peak King-level).

On the right, imperial Qi soared into the sky, manifesting mountains and rivers. He was a middle-aged emperor wearing a bright yellow imperial robe and a flat-topped imperial crown, with a square face and a majestic bearing. He was the envoy of the Xuanhuang Realm, titled "King Zhenyue," and was the younger brother of the Xuanhuang Human Emperor. Ruling over a territory of the Xuanhuang Realm, his cultivation was equally unfathomable, having already reached the Early Stage of a Quasi-Immortal.

In the center, Demonic Qi soared to the heavens and blood vitality surged like a dragon. He was a wild and violent young man clad in red-gold armor, with a pair of towering dragon horns on his head and a handsome yet slightly wicked face. He was the envoy of the Ancient Demon Realm, named Long Huang. As the direct son of the Ancient Yao Emperor, he possessed the dual Bloodlines of the True Dragon and the Heavenly Yao, boasting heaven-shaking combat power, and his cultivation was also at the Early Stage of a Quasi-Immortal.

The three envoys were all powerful and highly-placed representatives of their respective realms. Arriving together, the significance of their visit was self-evident. Clearly, the deeds of the Tiannan Realm's "Demon Suppressing True Monarch" turning the tide and forcing back the Holy Lord's Clone had already reached the ears of these great realms, drawing their high attention.

"Envoys, you have traveled far to come here. Please forgive us for not welcoming you sooner," Emperor Yan spoke first, his voice calm yet carrying an unquestionable authority.

Emperor Yan, Lin Wan, Ye Qingxian (who had returned from the Nine Heavens Realm the day before after successfully persuading Monarch Jiuxiao), Dan Dingzi, the Earth Vein Sect Master, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, and other core members of the Alliance had already come out of the immortal capital into the Void Realm, facing the three envoys from a distance. As the host, Emperor Yan spoke first, his voice calm yet carrying an unquestionable authority.

"Your Majesty Emperor Yan is too polite. We have come under the orders of our respective Realm Lords (the Human Emperor and the Yao Emperor) to pay our respects and discuss the grand plan of jointly resisting 'the end.' It is truly a fortune to meet Demon Suppressing True Monarch, who forced back the Clone of the Holy Lord." Daoist Leixiao's gaze was like lightning as it swept over everyone, finally landing on Lin Wan, with a hint of scrutiny and curiosity flashing in his eyes. Although he had heard of Lin Wan's deeds from Ye Qingxian, seeing him in person made him realize the rumors were indeed true. This "Demon Suppressing True Monarch" before him, who was excessively young yet possessed an aura as deep as the abyss and as vast as the sea, was indeed extraordinary. The faint dao rhyme radiating from him, which seemed to encompass everything yet also bring everything to an end, even made his heart skip a beat.

"I have long heard of Demon Suppressing True Monarch's great name, and meeting you today, you indeed live up to your reputation. For the True Monarch to defeat the Clone of the Holy Lord with only a Soul Transformation cultivation, saving Tiannan from the brink of collapse—such a feat is enough to shake the heavens and command admiration!" King Zhenyue bowed solemnly to Lin Wan, his tone sincere. The Xuanhuang Realm also suffered greatly from the erosion of "the end," so they naturally held respect and a desire to win over a powerhouse who could fight against and even force back the Holy Lord's Clone.

"Hmph, rumors may not be trustworthy. However, since you are so highly praised by Your Majesty Emperor Yan and Sect Master Ye, you must have some real ability," Long Huang snorted coldly. A rebellious and warlike light flickered in his dragon eyes as he sized Lin Wan up and down, as if trying to see through him. "I just don't know if you truly possess the strength, or if you are merely enjoying an empty reputation, relying on some external opportunities?"

His tone was arrogant and provocative. The Ancient Demon Realm had always revered strength and worshiped the strong. Although Lin Wan's deeds were astonishing, they were ultimately just rumors. Furthermore, in Long Huang's perception, Lin Wan's cultivation seemed to be only at the "Quasi-Immortal" level (as Lin Wan had intentionally concealed a portion of his aura) and had not reached the "True Immortal" level. This made Long Huang, who had always held himself in high regard and possessed the Bloodlines of both the True Dragon and the Heavenly Yao, somewhat dissatisfied and eager to test him.

Facing Long Huang's provocation, Lin Wan's expression remained calm. He did not get angry, but merely glanced at him indifferently. This glance seemed plain, but in Long Huang's eyes, it was as if he saw the birth of Chaos, the creation and destruction of the Universe, and the endless cycle of Reincarnation. An indescribable, terrifying will—ancient, boundless, encompassing all, yet ending all, as if standing above all creation—pressed down on him like a mountain!

"Hmm?" Long Huang's face changed slightly. The True Dragon Bloodline and Heavenly Yao power within his body instinctively boiled, trying to resist the pressure of this will. However, that will was not a direct attack, but rather a crushing weight of a higher level of dao rhyme, a suppression at the level of "existence" itself! It was as if, before the other party's "Dao," his Bloodline, his power, and his very "existence" appeared tiny, fragile, and not worth mentioning!

*Thud, thud, thud!*

Long Huang retreated three steps uncontrollably in the Void Realm before stabilizing his figure. The rebellious expression on his face had already been replaced by shock and horror. He stared fixedly at Lin Wan, with no trace of contempt left in his eyes, replaced only by deep wariness and a hint of disbelief.

With just a single glance, he, the direct son of the Ancient Yao Emperor who possessed dual top-tier Bloodlines and had reached the Early Stage of a Quasi-Immortal, had his mind shaken, his blood vitality churned, and even developed the illusion that he was completely outmatched? How was this possible?!

Daoist Leixiao and King Zhenyue also noticed Long Huang's abnormality, and their hearts shuddered. They knew Long Huang's strength and pride. To make him suffer a setback from just a glance, the strength of this Demon Suppressing True Monarch was probably even more terrifying than they had anticipated.

"Envoy Long Huang, you are a guest from afar. Please watch your words," Emperor Yan said in a deep voice, his brow slightly furrowed. Although he knew the ways of the Ancient Demon Realm, Lin Wan was now the pillar of support for Tiannan and could not be lightly insulted.

"No matter," Lin Wan waved his hand, his tone remaining calm. "Envoy Long Huang is straightforward by nature and bears no ill intent. However, with 'the end' currently upon us and all the heavens facing the same tribulation, we should focus on the bigger picture and discuss the grand plan to resist the tribulation. Unnecessary testing and emotional disputes should be avoided."

He did not continue to exert pressure, but his calm tone, combined with the shock brought by that single glance just now, made Long Huang completely cast away his contempt, even giving rise to a faint trace of awe. He let out a muffled snort and spoke no more, tacitly accepting Lin Wan's words.

Seeing this, Daoist Leixiao and King Zhenyue's estimation of Lin Wan rose yet another level. Neither arrogant nor rash, with a calm bearing and unfathomable strength, this youth was indeed a dragon and phoenix among men, with an limitless future.

"Envoys, please enter the immortal capital for a chat," Emperor Yan invited once more, seeing that the atmosphere had softened.

Immediately, everyone turned into streaks of light and flew into the Yanhuang Immortal Capital, arriving at the Central Heavenly Palace, inside the most magnificent "Tianyan Hall," which was specially used for receiving distinguished guests and discussing major matters.

Inside the grand hall, spiritual fruits and immortal wine had already been prepared. Everyone took their seats as hosts and guests. Emperor Yan, Lin Wan, and Ye Qingxian sat in the host seats, with Dan Dingzi, the Earth Vein Sect Master, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, and others accompanying them. The three envoys sat in the guest seats.

"Envoys, you have traveled far and worked hard on your journey. I wonder what your respective Realm Lords (the Human Emperor and the Yao Emperor) think about this great tribulation of 'the end' and the 'All-Heavens Anti-Calamity Alliance' previously proposed by our Tiannan Realm?" After taking their seats, Emperor Yan got straight to the point and asked.

"To be honest with Your Majesty and the True Monarch, the current situation in our Nine Heavens Realm is also not optimistic," Daoist Leixiao spoke first, his expression grave. "Multiple 'End Rifts' have appeared within our realm, and the 'Thunder Prison Demon Hall,' a branch of the Void Church, has been active, repeatedly invading and causing great suffering to the people. Our Realm Lord detests this deeply and has long wished to unite the heavens to jointly resist the great tribulation. This time, Sect Master Ye Qingxian visited in person to explain the pros and cons, and she also mentioned the might of Demon Suppressing True Monarch, which our Realm Lord deeply agreed with. The Realm Lord said that if the Tiannan Alliance is sincere in resisting the tribulation, we are willing to form an offensive and defensive Alliance with Tiannan, dispatching envoys to each other, sharing resources, and jointly defending against external enemies. When necessary, we can dispatch the elite 'Nine Heavens Thunder Guards' to reinforce Tiannan. The Realm Lord also entrusted me with bringing a 'Nine Heavens Thunder Seal' to present to Demon Suppressing True Monarch as a token of our sincerity."

As he spoke, Daoist Leixiao took out a large purple Seal wrapped in purple electricity, radiating a violent thunderous aura, with faint phantoms of dragons and serpents swimming around it, and presented it with both hands. This Seal was refined by Monarch Jiuxiao using his own lifebound thunder arts, supplemented by the Origin of the "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder." It was not only a peerlessly powerful thunder treasure, but also represented the friendship and recognition of the Nine Heavens Realm.

"Monarch Jiuxiao's generous affection is deeply appreciated; Lin Wan accepts it with gratitude." Lin Wan did not refuse, reaching out to take the "Nine Heavens Thunder Seal." It felt heavy in his hand, and the violent thunder power contained within was enough to easily obliterate a Late Stage Void Refining Cultivator, but to the current Lin Wan, it was nothing. However, the symbolic meaning of this Seal was significant, representing the sincerity of the Nine Heavens Realm. He put it away and nodded in gratitude to Daoist Leixiao.

"Our Xuanhuang Realm also suffers deeply from 'the end,'" King Zhenyue chimed in, his voice steady. "The demons of 'the end' erode our realm's dragon veins, pollute our mountains and rivers, and slaughter our citizens. This is truly an irreconcilable hatred. The Human Emperor has decreed that the Xuanhuang Realm is willing to form a brotherly bond with the Tiannan Realm, watching over and helping each other to jointly resist the demons. The Human Emperor has also entrusted me to bring a copy of the 'Xuanhuang Mountains and Rivers Map,' which contains the details of some mountains, rivers, earth veins, cities, and fortresses of our Xuanhuang Realm, for the Tiannan Alliance's reference in defense and Formation deployment. At the same time, the Human Emperor is willing to open some 'Xuanhuang Secret Realms' for outstanding Disciples of the Tiannan Alliance to enter for training and treasure hunting. Furthermore, if Tiannan has a need, our Xuanhuang Realm's 'Mountains and Rivers Army' can also be dispatched to assist in battle at any time!"

As he spoke, King Zhenyue also took out an ancient scroll that radiated a heavy, boundless aura as if carrying the weight of endless mountains and rivers, and presented it with both hands. Although this copy of the "Xuanhuang Mountains and Rivers Map" was only a replica, its value was not in the least inferior to the "Nine Heavens Thunder Seal." The geographical, earth vein, and Formation information of the Xuanhuang Realm contained within would be of immense help to the Tiannan Alliance in understanding the heavens and formulating strategies. Opening the Secret Realms and dispatching the "Mountains and Rivers Army" to assist in battle further demonstrated the sincerity and boldness of the Xuanhuang Human Emperor.

"The Human Emperor's deep affection and generosity will be remembered by Tiannan," Emperor Yan solemnly took the copy of the "Xuanhuang Mountains and Rivers Map" and handed it to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master beside him to be carefully put away. The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master was proficient in the path of Formations and deduction, so this map would play its greatest role in his hands.

Finally, it was the turn of the Ancient Demon Realm's envoy, Long Huang. Although he had been intimidated by a single glance from Lin Wan, he was, after all, representing the Ancient Yao Emperor. At this moment, he also reined in his arrogance and said in a deep voice, "Our Ancient Demon Realm respects strength above all, and the strong are revered. The demons of 'the end' invade our territory and slaughter our Yao Race; this enmity must be avenged! The Yao Emperor has said that if the Tiannan Alliance, especially Demon Suppressing True Monarch, truly has the ability to resist 'the end' and even slay the Holy Lord, our Ancient Demon Realm is willing to ally with Tiannan to jointly resist the great enemy. The Yao Emperor has entrusted me to bring a 'True Dragon Reverse Scale' to present to Demon Suppressing True Monarch. This reverse scale was shed from the Yao Emperor's true body, containing a trace of his True Dragon Origin and indestructible Battle Intent. It can assist the True Monarch in tempering his Physical Body, and can also serve as a token of authority to command a portion of our Ancient Demon Realm's Yao Race."

Long Huang took out a palm-sized scale that was red-gold all over, with sharp edges, radiating a terrifying dragon pressure and immortal Battle Intent, and handed it over with both hands. The value of this "True Dragon Reverse Scale" was not in the least inferior to the previous two, and was even of direct benefit to a Body Cultivator powerhouse like Lin Wan. Moreover, as a token of authority to command a portion of the Yao Race, it represented that the Ancient Demon Realm was not only willing to form an Alliance, but was also willing to accept the dispatch and command of the Tiannan Alliance to a certain extent. This sincerity was indeed immense.

Clearly, Lin Wan's feat of forcing back the Holy Lord's Clone, along with the unfathomable strength he had just displayed, had completely won over this proud direct son of the Ancient Yao Emperor. It also made the Ancient Yao Emperor resolve to bind himself deeply with Tiannan, especially with Lin Wan.

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

"The Yao Emperor's generous gift, I, Lin Wan, gratefully accept. Please convey to the Yao Emperor that resisting 'the end' and protecting the heavens is the duty of us Cultivators. From this day forward, Tiannan Realm and the Ancient Demon Realm shall be allies, advancing and retreating together, sharing life and death."

Lin Wan took the 'True Dragon Reverse Scale' and could feel the immense blood Qi and undying Battle Intent contained within, which would certainly be beneficial for further tempering his 'Quasi-Immortal' Peak Physical Body.

More importantly, the stance of the Ancient Demon Realm meant that the strength of the anti-calamity Alliance would be greatly enhanced.

The statements and generous gifts from the three envoys greatly invigorated Emperor Yan, Ye Qingxian, and the others.

With the addition of these three powerful realms—the 'Nine Heavens Realm', the 'Xuanhuang Realm', and the 'Ancient Demon Realm'—the Tiannan side was no longer fighting alone; the prototype of the anti-calamity Alliance had already taken shape!

"The sincerity of the three envoys is deeply felt by Me and the Tiannan Alliance."

Emperor Yan stood up with a solemn expression, "Since that is the case, I propose that we take our Tiannan Alliance as the core and unite the Three Realms of 'Nine Heavens', 'Xuanhuang', and 'Ancient Yao' to officially establish the 'Heavens Anti-Calamity Alliance'!

The Alliance's purpose shall be to resist 'the end' and protect all living beings in the heavens. Each member realm will be equal, helping one another, sharing intelligence, exchanging resources, and coordinating military forces to resist the great enemy together!

I propose that the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Master Lin Wan serve as the Alliance's first 'Alliance Leader', overseeing the overall situation and commanding the Alliance! What do you all think?"

Lin Wan to serve as 'Alliance Leader'?

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell slightly silent.

Although Emperor Yan's proposal was somewhat unexpected, upon careful thought, it made perfect sense.

In the current Tiannan Alliance, Lin Wan possessed the greatest strength, the highest prestige, and the most significant achievements; he was the key figure and the hope for resisting 'the end'.

Having him serve as the Alliance Leader to command the 'Heavens Anti-Calamity Alliance' was the best choice in terms of strength, prestige, and symbolic significance.

More importantly, Lin Wan's ability to restrain and his understanding of 'the end' far surpassed others, allowing him to better formulate strategies and respond to crises.

Ye Qingxian, Dan Dingzi, the Earth Vein Sect Master, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, and others from the Tiannan side naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Daoist Leixiao, King Zhenyue, and Long Huang exchanged glances and also nodded slowly.

"Emperor Yan's proposal is excellent. The Demon-Suppressing Immortal Master has extraordinary strength, remarkable achievements, and once even forced back a 'Holy Lord' Clone. With his deep understanding of 'the end', the 'Nine Heavens Realm' has no objections to the Immortal Master serving as Alliance Leader and commanding the Alliance." Daoist Leixiao was the first to speak.

"My 'Xuanhuang Realm' also has no objections. I believe that under the leadership of the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Master, the Alliance will surely be able to unite and resist 'the end' together." King Zhenyue also nodded in agreement.

"My Ancient Demon Realm only respects the strong. I, Long Huang, submit to the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Master's strength. I have no objection to the Immortal Master serving as Alliance Leader." Long Huang also rumbled.

"Good!" Emperor Yan clapped his hands and laughed, "Since that is the case, from today on, the 'Heavens Anti-Calamity Alliance' is officially established! The Demon-Suppressing Immortal Master Lin Wan shall be the Alliance's first Alliance Leader! I propose that we swear an oath here, pledging our blood to the Alliance, swearing to the heavens to resist 'the end' together, sharing life and death!"

"Pledging our blood to the Alliance, swearing to the heavens to resist 'the end' together, sharing life and death!"

Everyone in the hall, including Lin Wan, Ye Qingxian, the three envoys, and all the high-ranking members of the Alliance, stood up with solemn expressions and responded in unison.

Emperor Yan then produced a primitive bronze cauldron filled with spiritual wine. Everyone forced out a drop of their essence blood and dripped it into the cauldron. The essence blood merged with the spiritual wine, emitting a strange radiance and dao rhyme, symbolizing the establishment of the covenant and the connection of their Luck.

"With my blood, I establish this covenant. The heavens resist the calamity, helping one another. Whoever betrays this covenant shall be destroyed by heaven and earth!"

Everyone swore the oath in unison, their voices shaking the hall. As the oath fell, there seemed to be a response from the Great Dao in the netherworld; the covenant was established, and their Luck intertwined.

From this moment on, the 'Heavens Anti-Calamity Alliance' officially stepped onto the grand stage of the myriad realms! And Lin Wan officially became the first Alliance Leader of this nascent Alliance, shouldering the heavy responsibility of commanding the heavens and resisting 'the end'.

With the covenant formed, everyone returned to their seats, and the atmosphere became more harmonious. Next, it was time to discuss the specific regulations, organizational structure, intelligence sharing mechanism, resource allocation methods, joint military operations, and other concrete matters of the Alliance.

These matters were complex and detailed, not something to be decided in a moment. Fortunately, those present were the elites and leaders of their respective realms, experienced and highly efficient. Under the leadership of Emperor Yan, Ye Qingxian, and others, combined with the experience and suggestions brought by the three envoys from their respective realms, one regulation and one system after another were quickly drafted, discussed, and approved.

The Alliance headquarters was temporarily established in the Yanhuang Immortal Capital. A 'Council of Elders' was set up, composed of representatives sent by each member realm, responsible for discussing and deciding on major Alliance affairs. A 'War Department' was established, composed of elite forces drawn from each member realm, responsible for external campaigns and eradicating 'the end'. An 'Intelligence Department' was set up, responsible for collecting and analyzing intelligence on 'the end' from across the myriad realms. A 'Resource Department' was established, responsible for internal resource allocation and sharing among the Alliance. A 'Dao Propagation Department' was set up, responsible for spreading experience and Cultivation Techniques for resisting 'the end', enhancing the Alliance's overall combat strength.

As Alliance Leader, Lin Wan possessed the highest decision-making and command authority, but for major affairs, he needed to obtain the majority consent of the 'Council of Elders'. At the same time, Lin Wan would personally serve as the head of the 'War Department', directly commanding the Alliance's most elite combat forces.

The preliminary framework was set, and details could be perfected later. Everyone knew that the situation was urgent; the top priority was to consolidate their strength to cope with the more violent counterattack that 'the end' might launch.

"Alliance Leader," Daoist Leixiao looked at Lin Wan with a grave expression, "According to the latest intelligence from my 'Nine Heavens Realm', there seem to be large-scale unusual movements by 'the end' faction near the 'Black Abyss'. Scouts have reported a terrifying aura, suspected to be beyond the 'King' level, awakening from the depths of the 'Black Abyss'. Meanwhile, the branch halls of the 'Void Church' everywhere are also frequently active, seemingly preparing some kind of large-scale ritual. We are worried that the 'Holy Lord' may be brewing a thunderous strike against our Alliance that far exceeds previous ones."

"Intelligence from my 'Xuanhuang Realm' also shows similar signs." King Zhenyue said in a deep voice, "The speed of erosion by 'the end' is accelerating. Several medium-sized realms have completely fallen into dead zones within just a few months. There are even rumors that 'the end' faction seems to be searching for and awakening some more ancient and terrifying 'the end' creations that have been sealed in the dust of history."

"On the borders of my Ancient Demon Realm, we have also discovered traces of a large number of strange, otherworldly demons exuding a rich aura of 'the end', seemingly drawn from other conquered realms." Long Huang added, his eyes burning with Battle Intent, "It seems those guys are preparing to concentrate their power and make an example of us, the few realms that are jumping the most."

Everyone's gaze was focused on Lin Wan, waiting for his decision.

Lin Wan tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair, his eyes flickering with light. After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke, "The 'Holy Lord' will not sit idly by and watch us unite. Its next wave of offensive will surely be fierce. Passive defense is by no means a good strategy."

His gaze swept over everyone, and his tone became sonorous and forceful, "Since we must fight, let us fight a big one! Instead of waiting for them to assemble and come to our doorstep, why not... initiate an attack ourselves, disrupt their deployment, weaken their strength, and even... strike directly at their lair!"

Initiate an attack? Strike directly at their lair? Everyone was shocked. Now that the Alliance was newly established and its strength had not yet been fully consolidated, they were to actively attack the 'the end' base, the 'Black Abyss'? Was this too risky?

"The Alliance Leader means..." Emperor Yan's eyes flashed, as if he had guessed something.

"Divide into three routes." Lin Wan stood up and walked to the star map hanging in the center of the hall, which marked the approximate locations of the Tiannan, Nine Heavens, Xuanhuang, Ancient Yao, and other realms, as well as the 'Black Abyss'. He pointed to several areas around the 'Black Abyss' that were heavily marked and exuding a rich aura of 'the end'.

"According to intelligence, the 'Black Abyss' is the 'Holy Lord's' base camp in this Star Domain, but around it, there are several important 'the end' nodes, such as the 'Swamp of Decay', the 'Star Domain of Extinction', and the 'Void Rift'. These nodes are like satellites, guarding the 'Black Abyss', providing it with energy, reinforcements, and strategic depth. At the same time, they are also the springboard and forward bases for the 'Holy Lord' to launch large-scale offensives."

"My plan is for the Alliance 'War Department' elites to divide into three routes. The first route, led by myself, will unite with the Ancient Demon Realm's 'Long Huang's' troops to head straight for the 'Star Domain of Extinction' in front of the 'Black Abyss'. This will be a feint to attract the attention of the 'Holy Lord' and its main forces, and to seize the Opportunity to destroy its forward base and cut off its energy supply."

"The second route, led by Sect Master Ye Qingxian, will unite with the Nine Heavens Realm's 'Leixiao's' troops to raid the 'Swamp of Decay'. This place is the lair of the 'Temple of Decay', containing rich 'Decay' Origin, which serves as an important supply source for the 'the end' army. If we can eradicate this place, we can cut off one arm of 'the end', seize its stored resources, and weaken its war potential."

"The third route, led by Your Majesty Emperor Yan, will unite with the Xuanhuang Realm's 'King Zhenyue's' troops to raid the 'Void Rift'. This place has chaotic space and is an important channel for 'the end' to transfer troops and transmit information across realms. If we can destroy and Seal it, we can greatly hinder 'the end's' troop movements and information transmission, disrupt its deployment, and buy more time for our side."

"The three armies will launch simultaneously, acting as supports for each other, echoing from afar. We do not seek to settle everything in one battle, but seek to strike and weaken the power of 'the end' in this Star Domain to the greatest extent, disrupt its offensive rhythm, and buy more time for the Alliance to consolidate and develop. At the same time, we can use this battle to test the Alliance's combat strength, hone the coordination of each department, and boost the prestige of our Alliance!"

Lin Wan's plan was bold and meticulous. Initiating an attack, using offense to replace defense, turning passive into active. The three routes launched simultaneously, pointing directly at the vital point of 'the end'. If successful, it would surely severely damage the forces of 'the end' in this Star Domain, greatly boost the Alliance's morale, and lay the foundation for the future final decisive battle.

"This plan is excellent!" Ye Qingxian's beautiful eyes lit up, and she was the first to agree. She was already skilled in the Dao of the sword and favored offense; Lin Wan's plan was exactly to her liking.

"Initiating an attack to disrupt the enemy's deployment is indeed more advantageous than passive defense." Emperor Yan also nodded slowly, a flash of light in his eyes, "However, this battle is dangerous, especially with the Alliance Leader personally leading the troops to feint at the 'Star Domain of Extinction', facing the 'Holy Lord's' main force directly, which is the greatest pressure. Alliance Leader, are you confident?"

"Rest assured." Lin Wan's mouth curled into a confident arc, "Since I dare to go, I have my own countermeasures. If the 'Holy Lord's' true body has not arrived, I have my own means to deal with it. If its true body descends... then that is just right; I will test my newly refined Divine Ability to see if I can slay its Clone, or even... injure its true body!"

His words were filled with powerful confidence and Battle Intent. After his secluded cultivation in the 'Pool of Creation', his Dao foundation was reshaped, his cultivation level greatly advanced, and he had initially fused with the 'samsara mirror' fragments; Lin Wan's strength had already undergone an earth-shaking change. He needed an opponent of sufficient weight to verify his current combat strength and hone his own 'Chaos Samsara Dao Fruit'.

"Good! Since the Alliance Leader has such confidence, we shall naturally comply!" Daoist Leixiao, King Zhenyue, Long Huang, and others were also infected by Lin Wan's confidence, and they all stood up, cupping their fists in agreement. They also wanted to see what kind of heaven-defying means this 'Demon-Suppressing Immortal Master', who was rumored to be legendary, truly possessed.

"Since that is the case, there is no time to lose." Lin Wan's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice, "Please return to your respective realms quickly to mobilize elites and prepare supplies. Ten days later, we will assemble at the 'Demon-Suppressing Pass' in the Tiannan Realm and march on the 'Black Abyss'!"

"We obey the Alliance Leader's command!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices shaking the hall.

The first great battle after the establishment of the 'Heavens Anti-Calamity Alliance' was about to begin!
