69: The Divine Dynasty was in turmoil, and the man of destiny came back to life from the dead!

Shortly after Kong Wudao and his group departed.

Streams of light cautiously descended from the horizon, landing above the massive abyss of the giant crater.

As the halo shrouding them completely dissipated, one expert after another from the Northern Xuan Dao Domain manifested.

"This..."

Gazing at the soul-stirring scene below, everyone felt a chill crawl up their spines.

The region where the Purple Firmament Sect once stood had been completely reduced to an endless abyss.

Even though the phantom of the Great Emperor had vanished, the terrifying emperor might lingering in the world still made one's heart tremble.

The Purple Firmament Sect had been passed down for many years within their Northern Xuan Dao Domain.

Yet now, it had not been destroyed by a massive army sent by some even more terrifying force.

Instead, it had been reduced to ash by a single emperor decree from Kong Wudao!

At this thought, many of the experts present collectively shuddered.

Subconsciously glancing in the direction Kong Wudao had departed, they murmured, "The Myriad Domains of the Heavens... is about to change!"

After concluding the trip to the Northern Xuan Dao Domain.

Kong Wudao did not intend to return to the Space-Time Forbidden Zone just yet.

He took out a delicately crafted divine jade from his robes.

Engraved upon it were four golden ancient characters imbued with vast Dao rhythm—Sun Moon Divine Dynasty.

"Heavens Mandate Female Lead Xia Chuli... it is time to meet you."

Although he had already completed a portion of the taming process for Xia Chuli.

However, the ultimate outcome would depend on Xia Chuli's performance.

If she harbored her own little schemes or was not sufficiently obedient, he would take this opportunity to destroy the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty.

As the Divine Child of the Space-Time Forbidden Zone, he did not need to concern himself with consequences; he only needed to act as he pleased.

With his mind made up, Kong Wudao rode the Heavenly Revelation Azure Dragon, accompanied by several Emperor Child Sequence members from the Space-Time Forbidden Zone, and headed towards the Wasteland Dao Domain where the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty was located.

The Sun Moon Divine Dynasty was one of the hegemon-level forces in the Wasteland Dao Domain.

It was rumored that Great Emperor experts slumbered within their ancestral lands, ruling over numerous territories.

However, the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty had been exceptionally turbulent in recent days.

The reason was simple: just a few days ago, Chu Tian, the legitimate son of the Duke of the State who had been executed for treason, had inexplicably returned from the dead.

He then used unknown means to lead various feudal lords at the border to rise up in rebellion.

Caught off guard, countless territories of the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty were seized by Chu Tian, throwing the entire Divine Dynasty into a state of panic and unrest.

Inside the main hall of the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty.

Countless ministers and generals of the Divine Dynasty were gathered there.

"Your Majesty! The thief Chu Tian is acting aggressively. The northern fortress and Heavenly Mountain Valley have fallen one after another, and his army is marching straight for our Northern Liang!"

"Once Northern Liang falls, I fear all the northern territories of our Divine Dynasty will fall into the hands of this thief!"

"But we have no troops to deploy! Of the eighteen feudal lords, twelve are insiders for that thief Chu Tian! Now, the Eastern Wasteland and Western Desert are also being besieged by rebel forces, and we simply cannot spare any manpower!"

"Please, Your Majesty, grant me permission! I am willing to lead one hundred thousand Imperial Guards to set out immediately and crush the rebel army!"

Hearing the voices of the many ministers and generals below, Xia Xuanyuan, the ruler of the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty sitting on the dragon throne, felt a splitting headache.

He truly could not comprehend how Chu Tian, who had been executed along with his entire Family, could have suddenly returned from the dead.

How could he so easily incite so many feudal lords to rebel?

Why were there so many armies willing to be commanded by him?

Although his Divine Dynasty possessed many experts, this war had erupted within the very territories of his Sun Moon Divine Dynasty.

If an existence that was too powerful were to make a move, the resulting power would be world-destroying.

It might even cause the territories of his Sun Moon Divine Dynasty to suffer a fatal impact and be completely shattered!

More importantly, the mastermind behind this, Chu Tian, had not been seen from start to finish, save for an inexplicable war letter sent at the very beginning!

If the territory were to be shattered and they still failed to find him, that would truly be a catastrophic loss.

For this reason, they were forced to follow Chu Tian's rhythm and could only deploy ordinary legions to fight; experts simply could not intervene!

"Pass the order down! Tell our Divine Dynasty's Champion Marquis Zhang Wuji to immediately abandon the reinforcements in the Eastern Wasteland and rush north to suppress the rebellion in Northern Liang!"

Throughout the entire Sun Moon Divine Dynasty, Champion Marquis Zhang Wuji was undoubtedly the general who wielded military strategy to the most masterful level.

If it was purely a battle of ordinary legions, Zhang Wuji was undoubtedly the trump card for the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty to turn the tide.

Sun Moon Divine Dynasty, Northern Liang!

Atop a certain mountain that pierced the sky.

A handsome man in black robes, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, sat before a chessboard.

On the board, the black pieces formed an encirclement, completely surrounding many white pieces.

"Hehe... Chu Tian, your talent is truly extraordinary."

At this moment, a hoarse, chuckling voice rang out: "Whether it is in cultivation or in the arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, your talent far exceeds that of others."

Following the sound, one could see the speaker sitting opposite Chu Tian.

This being could not even be called a person.

It was a pitch-black skeleton devoid of flesh and blood, shrouded in a strange aura!

Especially the two clusters of scarlet fire burning within its pitch-black eye sockets, which gave off a spine-chilling sensation.

This skeleton was no ordinary being; its identity was the Imperial Grand-Uncle of the current ruler, Xia Xuanyuan!

Originally, he had failed to compete for the throne against Xia Xuanyuan's grandfather and had been expelled after being struck from the royal Family records.

Over countless epochs, he had endured humiliation and willingly spent countless essence and blood to embark on the Dead Spirit Dao.

Eventually, he sacrificed his Physical Body and achieved the realm of the Red Dust Emperor.

The Dead Spirit Great Emperor was adept at the legendary, strange technique of dead spirit resurrection and could even summon numerous dead spirit creatures to fight for him.

It could be said that the Dead Spirit Great Emperor did not need to expend many resources to forge his own imperial army.

He only needed to use his own emperor Dao Divine Ability, Dead Spirit Summoning.

He could continuously summon legions of bones and armies of dead spirit creatures!

He was an army unto himself!

"Senior is too kind."

"If it weren't for Senior's help, Chu Tian would not know how to exact revenge upon the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty!"

As he spoke, infinite killing intent surged in Chu Tian's eyes.

Originally, as the eldest son of the Duke of the State, he had been incredibly proud and could command the wind and rain throughout the entire Sun Moon Divine Dynasty.

But simply because their Duke of the State had achieved such great military exploits, there were faint signs of his merits overshadowing the master.

The high-level officials of the Divine Dynasty had wanted to discard them once they were no longer useful and had branded them with fabricated charges.

In the end, they dispatched numerous supreme experts to completely annihilate their entire Duke of the State mansion!

Although the entire Duke of the State mansion had exhausted its strength to send him away.

He still could not avoid being hunted down by the Divine Dynasty's experts.

Ultimately, in desperation, he was forced to leap into the Forbidden Ground of the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty, the Dead Spirit Burial Abyss!

But just when everyone, even Chu Tian himself, thought he would undoubtedly die.

Perhaps it was the intense unwillingness and resentment he felt before death.

Falling off the cliff, Chu Tian had been blessed by misfortune, inhaling the countless dead spirit auras within the Dead Spirit Burial Abyss.

He had even received help from the Dead Spirit Great Emperor, who was hidden in the depths of the Dead Spirit Burial Abyss.

Ultimately, he had awakened the Netherworld Undead Body, known as the King of the Dead!

This Physique was also extremely compatible with the Dead Spirit Great Emperor's Divine Ability.

To avenge the grievances held against the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty from many years ago, the Dead Spirit Great Emperor had also passed on as much of his life's learning to him as possible.

He had even emerged from seclusion to become Chu Tian's backer, all to overthrow the hated Sun Moon Divine Dynasty alongside him!

[PS: A brief explanation here: The plot of the Sun Moon Divine Dynasty is a piece of foreshadowing related to the Extraterritorial Land, which has already been reflected in subsequent chapters. This is not intentional spoiling; it is just that some people always fixate on this point. There are also Immortal Wars here; naturally, armies are needed to launch an Immortal War. Who says only Wuxia worlds have armies, and Xuanhuan worlds do not?]
