284: Chapter 284 The Emperor's Fall, The Abyss Mother Nest!

Time passed like a white stallion flitting past a gap; in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had gone by.

On the edge of the Realm Battlefield, upon a desolate dead star completely ravaged by the fires of war.

"Buzz—!"

A brilliant light, pure to the extreme and seemingly capable of dispelling all darkness in the Universe, suddenly erupted from deep within the dead star!

Within the light, a graceful figure slowly ascended into the sky.

The twelve wings behind her had completely transformed into pure light wings of Law. Between her brows, a complete [Great Dao of Light Origin] mark shone brilliantly.

Jialuo opened her eyes, feeling the terrifying power within her body, and let out a long, heavy breath of turbid air.

"Saint Realm... I have finally reached it."

Over the past hundred years, no one knew what kind of Hell she had endured.

From the first day she was forcibly conscripted to the Realm Battlefield, she became a Golden Immortal general on the defensive line.

Here, no one cared if she was a goddess, nor did anyone care about her talent.

Every day she opened her eyes, she faced endless Realm Demons emitting the stench of rot and death.

One by one, the colleagues who had once been with her in the Purgatory Hall were torn to pieces under the demons' claws, their Divine Souls polluted and devoured.

But it was precisely this kind of extreme combat, living on the edge of life and death every day, that completely stimulated the survival instinct and potential in Jialuo's bones.

The Law of Light naturally possessed a biological restraint against the dark corrosive power of the demons.

After climbing up from the blood and flesh of demons while stepping over the corpses of her companions countless times, she finally attained Perfection in the Great Dao of Light amidst this mountain of corpses and sea of blood. In the Tianxuan Creation Pool, she successfully reshaped her immortal body and joined the ranks of the Saints!

"When will this damned war ever end?"

Jialuo looked at the demon army in the distance, still surging like a black tide, a hint of deep exhaustion flashing in her eyes.

If this cruel battlefield hadn't forced her to grow, she might not have even touched the threshold of the Saint Realm in a million years.

Just as Jialuo was lamenting...

"Crack—!"

Suddenly, the Void Realm less than a thousand feet away from her collapsed violently, like a piece of glass shattered by a heavy hammer!

Two battered figures tumbled miserably out of the void rift, hitting the rocks of the dead star with a "thud."

"Who is it?!"

Jialuo's expression changed, and the Saintly radiance that had just stabilized around her body instantly erupted.

However, when she felt the residual auras on those two figures, she froze in place.

Those were two auras that, although extremely withered, were essentially far superior to the Saint Realm—they were of the Emperor Realm!

"Great Emperor Purgatory?! Void Emperor?!"

Jialuo cried out in surprise after clearly seeing their faces.

These two were the Vanguards who had forced their way into the interior of the Realm Demons a hundred years ago!

But at this moment, their condition was extremely wretched!

The dark red Emperor armor that Great Emperor Purgatory was so proud of was completely shattered. His left arm was severed at the shoulder; no blood flowed from the wound, only sickening black Devilish Qi was constantly corroding his flesh.

Void Emperor was even worse off. Half of his body, along with his Emperor Realm Origin, had disappeared, as if half of him had been bitten off by some monster. His remaining body was covered in dense, black blood vessels!

"Quick! Take us to see Empress Luyin!!"

Great Emperor Purgatory propped himself up with his remaining right arm, coughed up a large mouthful of black blood, and roared at the stunned Jialuo.

Beside him, Void Emperor's figure was flickering unsteadily. It looked as if his Emperor Realm Origin was about to dissipate, and he was on the verge of falling into a deep slumber from which there would be no return.

"Yes!"

In the face of the righteous cause of the Star Domain's survival, how could Jialuo still care about the old grievance of being forcibly conscripted by Great Emperor Purgatory back then?

She immediately activated the Law of Light she had just comprehended, transforming it into a massive, holy light cocoon that enveloped the two of them.

The Law of Light frantically purified the Devilish Qi at their wounds, and then she led them, turning into a dazzling meteor that raced toward the Star Domain's headquarters!

Half an hour later.

Star Domain Allied Forces Headquarters.

"Purgatory! Void!"

When Empress Luyin saw the wretched state of the two, her beautiful face was filled with horror.

She hurriedly mobilized the core Origin Law of the Ancient Tree of Life, transforming it into a vast life nectar that poured frantically into their bodies, barely managing to sustain Void Emperor's last breath.

"Purgatory... what on earth happened? What did you encounter during this century? Where is the Sword Emperor?!"

Seeing the team reduced to only two people, Empress Luyin felt an uncontrollable sense of sorrow rise in her heart.

One must know that the Sword Emperor was the number one offensive power in the Star Domain!

"The Sword Emperor... he won't be coming back."

Great Emperor Purgatory's eyes, which usually burned with violent karmic fire, were now filled with numbness and desolation.

His voice was as raspy as sandpaper rubbing together:

"In the core area of the Demon Mother Nest... he self-detonated his Great Emperor Fruit and his Origin Emperor Sword..."

"If he hadn't risked his life to hold those things back, Void and I would have long since become nourishment for that broodmother."

Hearing the words 'Demon Mother Nest,' the surrounding Great Emperors who had gathered all felt their breath hitch.

"We saw it at the very bottom of the abyss."

Great Emperor Purgatory's body trembled slightly, as if he were recalling some extremely terrifying scene:

"It was a fleshy tumor as massive as a galaxy! It is opening up barrier channels connecting to all planes of our Universe!"

"Before long, the army of Realm Demons will no longer be limited to this frontal battlefield! They will descend directly into every corner of the Star Domain's interior through those vein-like channels!"

"What's even more terrifying is... once the broodmother's tentacles are fully rooted."

Great Emperor Purgatory looked up, his eyes showing deep despair:

"All the Three Thousand Upper Realms and billions of Small Worlds attached to the Star Domain—the Heavenly Dao Rule protections they originally possessed will be completely and forcibly rewritten by the broodmother!"

"The boundary barriers will cease to exist! All Lower Realms will be forcibly dragged into the battlefield of the Star Domain. At that time, in the entire Universe, there will no longer be a single place of peace!"

Great Emperor Purgatory's voice fell.

All the Great Emperors and Saints present, including Jialuo who had just performed a great service, fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone felt their hands and feet go cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Just what kind of entity is that Demon Mother Nest?! To be able to forcibly rewrite the Heavenly Dao Rules of a realm?!"

Empress Luyin looked horrified, her face full of disbelief: "That... isn't that the supreme power possessed only by the legendary [Heavenly Emperor Realm]?!"

"No! It is not of the Heavenly Emperor Realm!"

Great Emperor Purgatory closed his eyes in pain: "It doesn't even have any combat ability! However... it possesses a Heaven-Defying instinct to continuously produce demon armies and devour and assimilate Heavenly Dao Rules!"

"If the broodmother is not eliminated... our Star Domain will never be able to win this war; we will only be worn down to death!"

For the first time, everyone saw numbness on the face of this resilient Great Emperor Purgatory.

Even the Sword Emperor, the number one in offense, had self-detonated there. What could they, the remaining Great Emperors, use to destroy that monster hidden behind layers of protection?

"Rumble—!!!"

Just as Great Emperor Purgatory finished speaking.

A dark red light carrying a pungent smell of blood suddenly erupted from the deepest parts of the Domain Demon territory, instantly illuminating the entire cosmic starry sky!

"Crack... crack..."

Accompanied by a sound like glass shattering.

Everyone watched in despair as the [Heavenly Dao Rule Barriers], which once protected the Three Thousand Upper Realms and billions of Small Worlds from being affected by high-level powers, began to slowly dissolve like ice and snow under the erosion of this blood-light!

Thick blood-colored channels, as massive as star rivers, resembled disgusting blood vessels. Ignoring the distance of space, they pierced frantically toward every direction within the Great Thousand Star Domain!

The great catastrophe had arrived.

Great Emperor Purgatory looked at those spreading blood-colored tentacles and murmured powerlessly:

"In the end... it still came..."
