Chapter 419 The Heavenly Army Descends, Fierce Battle Across the Entire Domain

The Meteorite Turbulence Zone.

The starry sky in this region looked as if it had been repeatedly kneaded by a giant hand, left shattered and in ruins.

Countless meteorite fragments whirled frantically in irregular orbits, some as large as mountain ranges and others as small as grains of sand. Spatial rifts were as dense as spiderwebs, opening and closing periodically to spew lethal void turbulence. Even light was distorted and refracted here, creating a bizarre and chaotic scene.

This was the mandatory path from the Divine Court Headquarters to the Barren Star Domain, and it was also a natural killing field.

At this moment, on the far side of a massive meteorite over a thousand miles in diameter at the edge of the Meteorite Turbulence Zone.

Nightmare hovered in the shadows, with the fully reorganized Reverse Dao Allied Forces behind him.

Over eight hundred people stood in dead silence.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the other end of the meteorite belt—there, the starry sky was warping, and an aura so massive it was suffocating was approaching at an incredible speed.

"They're here," Nightmare said softly.

Before his voice could fade...

Boom—!!!

The starry sky ahead was forcibly torn open by an invisible giant hand.

A golden giant gate, ten thousand feet high, slowly emerged in the void. Patterns of countless gods and demons at war were carved onto the doorframe, and two gilded characters, "Heavenly Army," hung at the top.

The gate opened.

An army marched out from within.

The first to emerge were five figures clad in purple-gold battle armor, each surrounded by the terrifying fluctuations of the Early Stage Cosmic Supreme Realm. They were expressionless, their eyes as cold as ice, looking like five killing machines walking out of the ancient Divine Court.

Following closely behind were a hundred silver-armored Cultivators, all of them in the Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm. Further back were five hundred black-clad Cultivators of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable Realm.

The entire army was strictly disciplined, their movements perfectly synchronized without a single stray sound.

Finally, a figure slowly stepped out from the golden giant gate.

It was a middle-aged man draped in a dark-gold battle robe, his face majestic, his eyebrows like blades, and his gaze as sharp as an eagle's. Just by standing there, the entire Meteorite Turbulence Zone seemed to shrink back, and all the chaotic energy became docile before him.

Supreme Zhen Yu.

Late Stage Cosmic Supreme Realm, Commander of the Divine Court Heavenly Army.

He raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the meteorite belt ahead like a physical force, finally landing on the massive meteorite where Nightmare and the others were hiding.

"Come out," Supreme Zhen Yu spoke, his voice like rolling thunder, causing countless meteorites to crumble. "Hiding your head and showing your tail, are you even worthy of being called the Lord of Reverse Path?"

Nightmare stepped out from the shadows.

He did not hide his aura; the pressure of the Middle Stage Cosmic Supreme Realm was fully released, silently colliding with Supreme Zhen Yu's Late Stage pressure in the void.

Where the two forces clashed, space collapsed inch by inch, revealing the pitch-black void behind it.

"So you are Nightmare?" Supreme Zhen Yu looked him up and down. "Younger than I imagined, and... more reckless than I imagined."

"Is that so?" Nightmare said indifferently. "The grass on the grave of the last person who said that to me is already three meters high."

"Arrogance!" Behind Supreme Zhen Yu, an Early Stage Supreme Realm Heavenly General shouted. "A mere Middle Stage dares to be insolent before the Commander? Kneel and accept death, and perhaps your corpse will be left intact!"

Nightmare ignored him, only looking at Supreme Zhen Yu. "Do your people always talk this much nonsense?"

Supreme Zhen Yu's gaze gradually turned cold.

"Since you seek death, this Commander shall grant it."

He raised his hand and pointed forward.

"Heavenly Army, hear my command—"

"Kill!"

With that single word, Killing Intent soared to the heavens.

Five Early Stage Supreme Realm Heavenly Generals charged out simultaneously, turning into five streaks of golden light as they lunged straight for Nightmare.

A hundred Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm Cultivators formed ten battle Formations, like ten sharp knives stabbing into the Reverse Dao Allied Forces.

Five hundred Hunyuan Celestial Venerable Realm Cultivators spread out like a tide, flanking from both wings.

The war erupted instantly.

"Act according to plan!" Nightmare barked, advancing instead of retreating to meet the five Heavenly Generals head-on.

Meanwhile, on the side of the Reverse Dao Allied Forces—

"God Slaying Squad, follow me!" the Deputy roared, leading over a hundred Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm Cultivators to intercept the ten Divine Court battle Formations.

"Formation-Breaker Battalion! Iron Wall Army! Form defensive arrays and grind down the fodder!" Blood Blade, Iron Frenzy, and Stream Moon each led their teams to meet the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable Realm Cultivators flanking them.

The Meteorite Turbulence Zone instantly turned into a meat grinder.

On Nightmare's side.

The five Heavenly Generals had already surrounded him in the center.

The five of them wasted no words and immediately formed an array.

"Five Elements God-Execution Array!"

The Origin power of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth gushed from their bodies, weaving into a massive five-colored wheel in the air. The wheel rotated, releasing a terrifying pressure that suppressed heaven and earth, even forcibly stilling the surrounding meteorite turbulence.

"Suppress!" the five Heavenly Generals shouted in unison.

The five-colored wheel crashed down.

Nightmare looked up at the wheel that blotted out the sky, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Five Elements? You're playing with that in front of me?"

He raised his hand, palm facing upward.

The Grandmist Chaos Void Annihilation Reincarnation Dao Reversal Demonic Star Flame gushed from his palm.

This time, the flame was no longer translucent; it was completely transparent—so transparent it was almost invisible. Its presence could only be judged by the distorted light around the flames.

Within the flame, countless tiny Reincarnation rings were frantically circulating, annihilating, and being reborn.

"Break."

Nightmare clenched his palm.

The transparent flame instantly expanded, turning into an Annihilation Domain a hundred yards in diameter.

Within the Domain, all Laws... were reset.

It wasn't destruction, nor was it neutralization; it was a direct "formatting."

The five-colored wheel charged into the Domain, and the five types of Origin power instantly became disordered, conflicted, and collapsed. The originally perfectly fused Five Elements God-Execution Array fell apart like a building whose foundations had been pulled out.

The five Heavenly Generals' expressions changed drastically as they tried to pull back.

But it was too late.

Nightmare took a step forward, his figure appearing like a ghost in front of one Heavenly General.

"The first."

The dao reversal reincarnation blade was in his hand as he slashed out.

The blade light was transparent and silent.

The Heavenly General tried to block, but his protective Origin was as fragile as paper before the blade light.

Puchi.

A head flew off, and the Divine Soul was annihilated in the Reincarnation flames.

One breath.

An Early Stage Supreme Realm had fallen.

"How is this possible?!" the remaining four Heavenly Generals were horrified.

They were in an array; with the five of them combined, they could briefly suppress even a Middle Stage Supreme Realm. How could their array be broken in one strike, and one of them insta-killed?!

"The second." Nightmare had already appeared beside another person.

The blade light flashed again.

The second Heavenly General died.

"Scatter! Don't let him get close!" someone shrieked.

The remaining three retreated frantically, while simultaneously unleashing everything they had. Various Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures rained down on Nightmare like a storm.

But Nightmare simply raised his hand, and the transparent Annihilation Domain expanded once more.

All attacks entering the Domain were like pebbles thrown into a deep pool; they didn't even trigger a ripple before being completely "reincarnated" by the power of Reincarnation, turning into the purest energy to be absorbed by the Domain.

"This... what kind of evil art is this?!" one of them screamed in terror.

"Evil art?" Nightmare smiled. "This is... the power that will send you on your way."

His figure blurred, appearing in front of the third person.

One slash.

The third person fell.

In just ten short breaths, of the five Early Stage Supreme Realm Heavenly Generals, only two remained.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear.

They finally understood that the combat power of this man, who seemingly was only at the Middle Stage, had already exceeded all logic.

"Run!"

The two turned to flee, tearing through space to escape into the void.

"Can you escape?" Nightmare raised his hand and made a grasping motion toward the direction they were fleeing.

"Dao Reversal Reincarnation Cage."

As those four words were uttered, the space within a thousand-mile radius instantly solidified.

It wasn't a simple spatial lockdown; rather, all spatial tunnels were forcibly "reincarnated" back to their initial state, making them impossible to open.

The two crashed into the invisible barrier and were bounced back hard.

And Nightmare was already standing before them.

"No... don't kill us! We are willing to surrender! We surrender!" one of them knelt and begged for mercy.

The other also hurriedly knelt. "We are willing to serve you as our Lord! We only ask..."

Before he could finish.

Two transparent blade lights flashed.

Two heads flew off.

"I don't need captives." Nightmare sheathed his blade and looked toward the distant main battlefield.

The five Heavenly Generals were wiped out.

And at this moment, less than thirty breaths had passed since the battle began.

---

The main battlefield.

The God Slaying Squad and the ten Divine Court battle Formations were locked in a heated struggle.

Although their numbers were comparable, the Divine Court's battle Formations were more sophisticated, giving them a slight upper hand initially. But when the news of the five Heavenly Generals being insta-killed by Nightmare arrived, the morale of the ten battle Formations instantly collapsed.

"The Lord Heavenly Generals... are all dead?!"

"How is that possible!"

"Run! Run quickly!"

Chaos broke out within the Formations.

"An opening!" A sharp light flashed in the Deputy's eyes. "Kill!"

The God Slaying Squad took the opportunity to attack fiercely, instantly tearing through the defenses of two battle Formations and killing over twenty Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm Cultivators.

On the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable Realm battlefields on the flanks, the Reverse Dao Allied Forces held an absolute advantage—they had Formations to rely on and traps for assistance. Meanwhile, the Divine Court's Hunyuan Celestial Venerable Realm Cultivators, upon learning that their high-level leaders were wiped out, had long lost the will to fight and only wanted to escape for their lives.

It was a one-sided slaughter.

Supreme Zhen Yu hovered at the edge of the battlefield, his face as dark as water.

He watched Nightmare easily kill the five Heavenly Generals and saw his troops retreating in defeat; finally, a look of gravity appeared in his eyes.

"No wonder the Heavenly Emperor values him so much..." he muttered to himself. "This Nightmare... is indeed a monster."

He slowly raised his hand, and a dark-gold halberd appeared in his grasp.

The shaft was covered in ancient Divine Court script, and there was a speck of blood-red at the tip, emitting a terrifying aura of destruction.

"It seems," Supreme Zhen Yu looked at Nightmare, "this Commander must personally step in."

Nightmare also looked at him, lifting his blade and walking over step by step.

"You should have done so long ago."

The void between the two began to silently shatter.
