285: Chapter 285 Scattering Wealth in Purgatory! Galo and Lin Fan Prepare to Descend to the Mortal Realm!

"All of you, go back..."

Great Emperor Purgatory closed his eyes wearily, exhaling a breath of turbid air tainted with Devilish Qi.

Even as one of the top powerhouses of the Star Domain, witnessing the despair-inducing foundations of the Demon Mother Nest left him wondering where the future of this vast Star Domain lay.

The strength of the Realm Demons caught the various races of the Star Domain, who had enjoyed peace for countless eons, completely off guard.

The Emperors of the surrounding Star Domains remained silent, the atmosphere oppressive to the extreme.

Through the brutal meat-grinder war of the past century, they knew better than anyone that if the Star Domain could not unite, they would be unable to stop the iron hooves of the demons.

But now, the Demon Mother Nest had forcibly broken through the barriers of all planes. The war was no longer confined to the Realm Battlefield; it had broken out on all fronts!

With their current military strength and power, could they truly hold their own Star Domains if they returned to fight individually?

"If any of you truly cannot hold out later, you may lead your clansmen to retreat into my Life Star Domain."

Empress Luyin sensed everyone's concerns and despair, speaking softly.

Everyone looked at each other, a glimmer of hope flashing in their eyes.

They all knew that although Empress Luyin only had a cultivation at the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm, no Emperor dared to underestimate her.

This was because the entire Life Star Domain was actually built upon a [Tree of Life] that had survived for an unknown number of years.

It was the final pure land and source of vitality for the Star Domain.

"Then we shall thank Empress Luyin first. We will return immediately to mobilize our armies for battle!"

The Emperors no longer hesitated, cupping their hands in farewell to Empress Luyin and Great Emperor Purgatory before tearing through the Void Realm to return to their respective Star Domains in a state of high anxiety.

Everyone knew that once those blood-colored, vein-like passages took root, those terrifying demon commanders would surely lead their armies to invade their territories from all directions!

"Let us go as well, back to the Wanxiang Star Domain."

Great Emperor Purgatory forcibly sealed the Devilish Qi at his severed arm, his gaze cold.

...

Wanxiang Star Domain, Purgatory Hall headquarters.

Inside the hall, the atmosphere was solemn and murderous.

The leaders of all the notable super-factions within the Wanxiang Star Domain had gathered here.

Lin Fan, who oversaw the Grand Illusion of the Divine Dragon, along with Jialuo, who had just achieved a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm, and other Saints of various races, stood solemnly on both sides.

Great Emperor Purgatory sat in the primary seat, while the Shadow Emperor sat in the side seat, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally landing on Jialuo.

In his eyes, which burned with karmic fire, a rare trace of complexity flashed as he sighed and said:

"Jialuo."

"The Yu Clan you belonged to was indeed wiped out by me with a single palm strike back then. But the fact that you could achieve Ascension from the Lower Realm and reshape the Rule of Light during this century of bloody battle to become a Saint shows your talent and Heart-Nature."

Great Emperor Purgatory paused: "Now that the Great Calamity has arrived, let the past be the past. Whatever compensation you need, just ask."

Hearing this, Jialuo took a deep breath.

Having experienced the cruelty of the Realm Battlefield, she understood that in the face of a Star Domain-level disaster, only absolute power was the truth.

Furthermore, the other party was in the Emperor Realm; seeking revenge was out of the question, so she might as well strive for more benefits.

Jialuo pondered for a moment, then spoke with a firm gaze: "Great Emperor, I want top-tier Saint medicine that can accelerate the tempering of my Physical Body and stabilize my Saint foundations!"

"Very well."

Great Emperor Purgatory nodded without the slightest hesitation.

No one knew how many appalling treasures were hidden in the private treasury of this veteran Emperor who had lived for tens of millions of years.

He flicked his finger.

"Buzz!"

A crystal emitting nine-colored radiance and containing endless celestial sounds floated before Jialuo.

"This is the [Emperor Marrow Crystal], a supreme treasure that can only be condensed at the core of an Immortal Marrow Crystal Vein over billions of years. Your Physique of Light has good natural talent; if you can perfectly refine it, you might be able to use this item to touch the threshold of the Emperor Realm within a hundred thousand years."

"Hiss—!"

The moment they saw this Emperor Marrow Crystal, the surrounding Saints were all moved, their eyes revealing an extremely intense heat of greed.

That was a supreme treasure that could increase the probability of becoming an Emperor!

But no matter how envious they were, no one dared to show even a hint of it in front of Great Emperor Purgatory.

"There is no need for you all to be envious."

Great Emperor Purgatory took in everyone's expressions, then suddenly waved his sleeve and threw out a huge, radiant jade scroll.

"Inside this jade scroll is the complete inventory of my Purgatory Hall's treasury! I have already had the exchange prices marked on it."

"From this day forth, my Purgatory Hall will distribute all its wealth! All resources will no longer be distributed based on seniority, but will be determined entirely by your battle merits in killing enemies on the battlefield! As long as you kill enough demons, you can even exchange for this Emperor Armor of mine!"

When the Saints used their Divine Sense to probe the jade scroll and saw the overwhelming list of treasures inside, they all felt their breath hitch and their hearts race wildly.

They knew that Great Emperor Purgatory was truly burning his bridges and going all out this time!

After arranging the distribution of resources, Great Emperor Purgatory's expression turned solemn as he turned to look at the Shadow Emperor of the Shadow Clan, who had remained silent.

"Shadow Emperor. The Heavenly Dao rules of the Lower Realm have already been rewritten by the Demon Mother Nest. Although those Three Thousand Upper Realms have shallow foundations, they are the rear guard of our Wanxiang Star Domain!"

"Once the Lower Realm is completely devoured by the demon army and assimilated into a demon cave, our Wanxiang Star Domain will be completely surrounded and trapped in a dead end!"

Great Emperor Purgatory gave the order in a deep voice: "I need you to personally lead several Saint Realm experts to immediately descend to the Lower Realm to provide support. You must hold our backyard!"

"Alright! For the Star Domain, I will personally lead the elites of the Shadow Clan to guard it." The Shadow Emperor knew the matter was of great importance and agreed without hesitation.

Just then.

"Great Emperor Purgatory, count me in for the journey to the Lower Realm."

From among the crowd, Lin Fan of the Major Thousand Worlds suddenly stepped forward and volunteered.

Lin Fan wanted to see what that Human Race Genius he had once favored a hundred years ago looked like now, and if he would regret not listening to his advice after learning of the full-scale invasion by the Realm Demons.

"I'm going too!"

Immediately after, Jialuo, who had just put away the Emperor Marrow Crystal, also slowly stood up.

In her newly transformed Eyes of Light, there flickered a cold chill and confidence.

Jialuo clenched her fists, the pressure of the Saint Realm faintly appearing.

"Su Feng... Now that I have become a Saint, it is time to settle the score with you and the God Race!"
