The arrival of the Heavenslayers Alliance allowed the various Forces, despairing from the situation, to finally see a glimmer of hope.

 

It never crossed their minds that the army of the Heavenslayers Alliance would be the one to come to their rescue. After all, this whole time, they were wary and fearful of the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Since the beginning, they had been avoiding the Heavenslayers Alliance. They labelled it an evil Force, which brought endless war and calamity to various places. Many Civilisations and True Worlds had been occupied by it. Countless had been forced to leave their homelands due to the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Nevertheless, when dark beings came to attack them, those from the Righteous Alliance, who had promised to protect them, immediately retreated. On the other hand, the army of the Heavenslayers Alliance arrived and came to their rescue.

 

So, all of them were rooted to the spot, finding everything inconceivable.

 

“Master, our reinforcements have come, but they’re not from the Righteous Alliance. Instead, they’re from the Heavenslayers Alliance.”

 

“Master, can you see us from Heaven?”

 

“Master, there’s hope for us. Your sacrifice didn’t go to waste. It didn’t… They’re here to save us.”

 

Some felt a lump in their throats and their eyes turned bloodshot. A fire burned in their chests as they were suddenly murderous and in high-spirits.

 

“Kill them! Stop the Black Disaster from spreading further!”

 

When they came to their senses, they roared and followed the army of the Heavenslayers Alliance to fight against the dark beings.

 

The flames of war devastated many worlds. The black mist spread and the ground cracked. Blood was everywhere.

 

Many, who were in intense battles against the enemies, looked dazedly at the soldiers coming from the sky. They were so excited and moved that they trembled uncontrollably.

 

Reinforcements had finally come. Even though their identity came as a true surprise, their appearance was like a bonfire in the darkness. It illuminated the path ahead of them and brought them hope.

 

On this day, the soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance arrived in different universes and many powerful experts made their move. In silence, they charged towards those dark beings in an orderly manner.

 

It was an era of blood and sorrow. The arrival of the Heavenslayers Alliance allowed these despondent to see hope again.

 

People were heard shouting deafeningly. Wars broke out again in those Star Territories. The powerful reinforcements from the Heavenslayers Alliance had arrived.

 

High-ranking officials showed up on the battlefields and fearlessly fought those dark beings. They cared not about their safety, nor were they afraid of death or getting corrupted by the black mist. This was a scene that shocked everyone.

 

Faced with these dark beings, the high-ranking officials of the Heavenslayers Alliance fought them like they were their greatest enemies. They were unlike the other cultivators, who were restrained, unable to fully showcased their powers because they were wary of being corrupted.

 

“Rumours have it that the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader has incredible power and can dispel Dark Concentrate. So, beings protected by him will never fall into darkness or be corrupted by it. To think everyone from the Heavenslayers Alliance will protected by its leader.”

 

Many ancient beings were astounded as they recalled the rumours they had heard. No words could describe how bold those from the Heavenslayers Alliance were.  It was as if they were unafraid of death when clashing with those dark beings.

 

Upon closer look, one would realise every one of those from the Heavenslayers Alliance radiated a faint glow, where Runes flickered and mysterious powers intertwined with one another. This protected them from getting corrupted by the black mist.

 

“When will the Black Disaster end?” On an ancient battleship, Ling Yuling looked icily at the tragic scenes in various places. Some images from the past sprang into her mind.

 

In ancient times, when the Heaven’s Proxy Group was still around, and the Heavenly Dao Authority was occupied. The Black Disaster was just as cruel, if not more violent than the one in this era.

 

She remembered that after she and her Younger Sister left their Sect, they saw how darkness has spread everywhere. The black mist permeated various places, the ground had cracked, and the stars had fallen apart. They could see desolation at every inch, with dark beings recklessly slaughtering millions.

 

In a village, a boy pulled out an old woman from a pile of corpses. He cried and pulled the old woman into his embrace. The white-haired old woman was soaked in blood and no longer breathing.

 

In a different place, a baby, still covered in a cloth, opened his innocent eyes and extended his hand in an attempt to touch his Mother’s young but cold dead face.

 

…

 

All these scenes were reenacted in Ling Yuling’s mind. Those from the Righteous Alliance had abandoned these people and regarded them as cannon fodder.

 

Even though she was furious, she felt helpless. There was nothing she could do to change things. She could only bring the army of the Heavenslayers Alliance to aid them.

 

In fact, Gu Changge never gave the order to support the defence line of the Righteous Alliance. When Ling Yuling came to the Righteous Alliance’s outer territory, she discovered that they had abandoned the defence line and allowed those guarding the area perish on their own to hold up the dark beings.

 

Besides that, the high-ranking officials of the Righteous Alliance intended to give in to those dark beings. They were willing to cede territories, sacrificing their members as offerings to serve as the nutrients for the ceremony.

 

Ling Yuling was so furious that she radiated an icy aura. It never crossed her mind that those from the Righteous Alliance would do such a thing.

 

Upon learning the news, she immediately contacted Gu Changge and informed him about it. After finding out everything, he asked Ling Yuling what she intended to do. When he realised that she was incensed, he let her handle the matter as she wished, and make decisions on her own.

 

Ling Yuling was surprised by this. She did not expect Gu Changge to trust her to this extent.

 

Since this was urgent, she did not think deeply about it. She soon brought the army to the Righteous Alliance’s defence line to aid those pawns being sacrificed.

 

Regardless of the Righteous Alliance’s actions or stance, these Forces were still unwilling to retreat. They were still adamant about protecting the defence line till their last breath.

 

This was both respectable and commendable.

 

Upon receiving Ling Yuling’s order, the high-ranking officials of the Heavenslayers Alliance brought their soldiers to different embankments.

 

Beings from the Forbidden Areas such as Mu Fuguang, Tong Xian, and Buddha Bei Ci were no exceptions. No one protested. They too did not have the heart to see these people suffer either, so they headed to different places to actively help.

 

Needless to say, they were more powerful than an average Ancestral Dao Realm expert. Under their leadership, the Heavenslayers Alliance’s soldiers were unstoppable. They easily reached the embankments and clashed with those dark beings.

 

Following the appearance of the Heavenslayers Alliance’s army, things took a turn. The situation finally seemed a little optimisitc.

 

News soon spread across various places, causing a commotion.

 

At this critical moment, no one expected those from the Heavenslayers Alliance to change their minds and join the war. They had given up on attacking the Righteous Alliance. Instead, they sent their experts to support the embankments and fend off those dark beings.

 

The speculation that there was a collaboration between the Heavenslayers Alliance and dark beings was naturally shattered.

 

Following this incident, the Righteous Alliance’s reputation was tarnished. Many Forces, who were escaping, were swayed. They suspected that some high-ranking officials of the Righteous Alliance might have been controlled by dark beings. Or perhaps, some dark beings held important positions within the Righteous Alliance.

 

They had always regarded the Heavenslayers Alliance as vicious. However, the Heavenslayers Alliance now seemed to be the righteous one, as they proactively went against the dark beings on their own accord.

 

Meanwhile, those from the Righteous Alliance, who claimed that they would uphold justice and were the centre of attention, had chosen to retreat. They ceded much of their territories, letting countless members perish.

 

This naturally created divisions within their ranks. If those people could be sacrificed, then could they not be as well? Some members inside suspected that when push came to shove, when the Righteous Alliance was in danger, they too would be abandoned.

 

The Heavenslayers Alliance was definitely despicable, but those from the Righteous Alliance were not kind-hearted either. From the looks of it, they were even worse, hypocrites to the highest order.

 

…

 

Meanwhile, war in the Waning Moon Sect was intense. Rocks flew around and the Star Territory trembled. Fluctuations from the battle spread out everywhere.

 

Two powerful figures were traversing across the universe. Time went by and the Great Dao was destroyed as they fought.

 

They seemed to be travelling across different Spacetimes. Their figures could be found in the past, the present, and the future. As they clashed, matter around them silently disappeared.

 

A scene like this was horrifying. It was like the creation of Heaven and Earth or the evolution of Chaos.

 

The Will of the Waning Moon Sect’s Prime Ancestor turned into a massive figure. Around him were billions of lights. He seemed to have awakened from ancient times. As he extended his finger, chains of light shot forward.

 

That was the aggregation of Principles and Dao Abilities. It showcased his understanding of the Great Dao.

 

On the other hand, as the mighty Wu Yang breathed, black mist undulated and clashed with the enemy’s attack.

 

Heaven and Earth were drowned and stars fell like specks of dust.

 

He pulled out the Dark Heavenly Sabre from his waist and slashed across Heaven and Earth, tearing apart the universe and shocking everyone. The blade light dazzled different Spacetimes as though it radiated from the end of the River of Time. Stars broke into pieces.

 

The blade light shattered countless Principles and split the void into two. The waves of Spacetime surged from the void and drowned everything.

 

He was dealing with a powerful enemy this time. The Prime Ancestor of the Waning Moon Sect was incredibly strong. Although it was merely a remanent Will, showcasing only ten percent of his strength, it was still strong. Each move was difficult to counter. And any average Ancestral Dao Realm expert would not be his match.

 

If the true Prime Ancestor were here, Wu Yang would’ve been defeated long ago. It was his first time feeling this frustrated. The other party was the strongest enemy he came across in the Boundless Expanse after he left the Nightmare Demon Realm.

 

Still, he was not worried. He did not think a remnant Will could kick up a storm. After all, he had a High Priestess behind him.

 

Besides, this Will could not exist for long. It would dissipate when its energy was used up.

 

Different lights exploded as they fought each other. The fluctuations of their battle spread across the universe and affected various Spacetimes.

 

In different mountain ranges of the Waning Moon Sect, the war was equally violent. Many Elders and Disciples were furiously clashing with dark beings. Their safety was the last thing they cared about.

 

The Will of the Waning Moon Sect’s Prime Ancestor showed up in an attempt to send everyone away, but he no longer had the power to do so. Strength was leaving him with each clash, as he was actively pinned down by the opponent.

 

Many Elders could feel that those dark beings had targeted the Waning Moon Sect for some different intention. It was unlike with other Forces, and they were not here which to sacrifice the Waning Moon Sect.

 

This made them feel furious and helpless.

 

There was a red bird on Gu Xianer’s shoulder. She was fighting those dark beings while trying to return to her Supreme Cave.

 

The sudden arrival of these dark beings caught everyone from the Waning Moon Sect off guard, including Gu Xianer. This made their plan of running away the next day fall short.

 

Now, she was not sure if she could leave the Waning Moon Sect alive. She could only pin her hope on the mysterious white-clothed woman.

 

Until those dark beings came, the white-clothed woman still never left the Supreme Cave. Therefore, Gu Xianer decided to return to the Supreme Cave and take her away.

 

Upon her return, she asked anxiously, “Senior, do you recall anything? If you still don’t make a move, all of us will be killed by those dark beings.”

 

The white-clothed woman looked dazedly at what was happening outside while holding the ancient bronze mirror. She did not seem to understand what Gu Xianer meant.

 

A moment later, she shook her head and said helplessly, “I’m sorry, but I don’t remember anything.”

 

Gu Xianer sighed. There was nothing she could do about this. She also could not tell if the white-clothed woman was telling the whole truth. Currently, she could only take her away from the Supreme Cave and fend off those dark beings while trying to join up with Lan Xin and the others.

 

“Junior Sister Xianer…” In the distance, the mountains were covered in Divine Lights and Celestial Mists. All sorts of techniques intertwined with one another and shone brightly.

 

Lan Xin and the other Disciples of the Waning Moon Sect were battling against the dark beings.

 

The boundless black mist streamed towards them like waves. They were unable to annihilate these countless dark beings. Some of them were devoured by the black mist and lost their lives.

 

When Gu Xianer and the white-clothed woman joined the battle, it lifted some pressure off Lan Xin and the others. Nevertheless, many were startled when they saw this white-clothed woman with a face veil they had never seen before. At this point, they did not have time to ask any questions. They had to focus on dealing with those dark beings.

 

“Is the white-clothed woman Gu Xianer’s guardian?” Song Yu frowned when he saw that from a distance. He formed some speculation while feeling surprised.

 

When he heard from Gu Xianer that she was from the Heavenslayers Alliance, he never doubted her, nor did he dare to underestimate her, especially after Uncle Lan gave him a through warning. Therefore, he did not believe Gu Xianer would be in any danger.

 

He speculated that Gu Xianer had decided to stay in the Waning Moon Sect because of the Nine Heavenly Prohibitions, just like himself.

 

“You’re too slow, Wu Yang.” In the boundless black mist outside the Waning Moon Sect, the girl standing under the oil-paper umbrella shook her head while looking at the war from a distance.

 

With a smile, she extended her fair and flawless hand. A horrifying scene happened in the darkened sky.

 

A fair hand descended from above and covered the entire Spacetime. Even her palm print and veins could be clearly seen. Every finger was fair and smooth. Her hand could easily arouse any man.

 

All the mountains and islands in the Waning Moon Sect trembled as though an earthquake was happening. The suction coming from the palm seemed ready to take everything away.

 

All the Elders and Disciples in the war, regardless of their powers, were flabbergasted. They were flailing and about to fall to the ground.

 

Many felt that the Souls in their bodies were in turmoil. It was as though they would be taken away by this massive hand as well.

 

The fair hand had transformed the sky above them, covering everything. It was slowly descending as though the sky was falling, crushing everything beneath its wake.

 

Even Dao Realm experts were fearful. They were bound to the spot, unable to move a muscle.

 

“To think High Priestess Li Shuang has made a move…” Wu Yang, who was battling against the Will of the Waning Moon Sect’s Prime Ancestor, was shocked. Then, he became calm again. Since the High Priestess had made a move, they would surely achieve their goal.

 

He had no idea why the Lady wanted to bring the entirety of the Waning Moon Sect away, even if everything had turned into ruins.

 

The Elders of the Waning Moon Sect growled. They were glowing, as their blood was boiling. They set their Souls aflame and used all their energy in an attempt to break free, but their effort was in vain.

 

The hand seemed to have come from Heaven. Unrivalled and peerless, as if it could seal everything. All resistance was useless in the face of such power.

 

“All of you, escape! We’re not a match for her. We have to save the last bit of hope for the Waning Moon Sect…” Growled the Sect Master of the Waning Moon Sect.

 

His aged body was covered in blood and his hair was unkempt. He no longer looked as elegant as he used to be.

 

His Dao Fruit was full of cracks. Then, a light exploded as he turned into a light rain and shot forward in an attempt to push the hand away and open up a passageway for the others.

 

He intended to sacrifice himself to make it up to Chen Yi and the others.
