“Alright, it’s the right time. Form the Array!” Di Kun’s voice reverberated across the air on the battlefield, carrying with it a hint of iciness.

 

Following his order, the originally chaotic Beasts started forming formations with the help of the Beast Generals.

 

At that moment, the Beastial Energy surged into the sky as immense energy exploded in the universe. Even Chaos was destroyed. That area became chaotic. A strange and terrifying aura started permeating the battlefield. It was as though an ancient and inconceivable being was awakening and opening his eyes to watch the entire world.

 

At that instant, any living being shuddered in fear regardless of their power.

 

When Heavenly Divine General realised something was off, he stopped what he was doing. [What’s going on?]

 

He saw blood exuding from the Beast Generals before his eyes. They seemed mad and were reciting something. It was as though they were ready to sacrifice themselves to draw out a certain being.

 

Even Di Kun himself was reciting this ancient scripture. He was surrounded by dense and contorted patterns. Blood was oozing out of his face, making him look like a ferocious ghost.

 

Those Beast Generals who were sacrificing themselves were in an even more terrible state. They seemed to be doing a ritual that sucked out their energy and Life Force. They were instantly void of any Life Force as only their withered bodies were left.

 

The sight was too terrifying.

 

As the two armies clashed. A contorted smoke turned into a black storm and swept across the entire area. Be they Beast Sovereigns of the Beast Court or the Dao Realm experts of the Land of Celestial Suffering, they could not help but tremble.

 

The battlefield gradually darkened and they could not see anything. No Principles could penetrate this place.

 

The Land of Celestial Suffering’s Fortuitous Golden Dragon shrieked and was devoured by the black smoke. It soon became blurred and disappeared. At the same time, Ancient Legendary Beast like Taotie, Pixiu, Zhenkong, Kuiniu, Chongming, and Qiongqi appeared in the black storm to return to this world.

 

They howled as though they had awakened from ancient times and arrived at the current era. They turned into their true forms and started charging around the battlefield.

 

The horrifying sounds of munching and tearing were heard coming from the black storm. Living beings who were dragged into it would instantly vanish.

 

“I don’t care what Legendary Beasts you are. Get lost!” Heavenly Divine General was the first to be tangled up with the black storm. He wanted to struggle out of it but discovered in shock that a terrifying power grabbed his limbs like invisible hands to drag him into the storm.

 

“Break!” Heavenly Divine General radiated a Divine Light that freed him and destroyed everything around him. He was an Ancestral Dao Realm Master, after all. Even his Seventh Decay Tribulation could not kill him. Although the terrifying power was strange, it could not drag him into the storm.

 

“Save me, Master!” However, his mount, Green Heavenly Bull, was not as powerful as he was. It was shuddering now.

 

Its towering body was full of wounds as though it had been dismembered.

 

In the black storm, those ancient Legendary Beasts continuously reformed. The head of Taotie, the limbs of Pixiu, the hair of Zhenkong, and the wings of Chongming formed a new being.

 

An indescribable strange Legendary Beast stood in the black storm as though it had come alive. It extended its rotten claw and grabbed Green Heavenly Bull before throwing it into its bloody mouth and munching on it.

 

“Stop!” Heavenly Divine General roared as his Ancestral Dao Realm aura spread across the world. His spear radiated the Boundless Light as the Great Dao hummed. He extended his weapon and penetrated the strange Legendary Beast’s claw.

 

Nevertheless, its wound quickly healed as a mysterious force appeared and turned into a black mist. It glued the broken parts together as though it had a life of its own.

 

The sight was creepy as it astounded all those on the battlefield.

 

Although Di Kun was well-prepared, he still felt petrified deep within. It was his first time using the Heavenly Beast Soul Devouring Array given to him by Gu Changge, but he discovered he had underestimated the Ancient Array’s power. One had to know that he had not collected 3000 cores yet.

 

He was only using his Soul to control the Array, but it could already make Heavenly Divine General, who was an Ancestral Dao Realm expert, flustered.

 

If he could collect 3,000 cores of for the Array, even his Father could not stop him, let alone an Ancestral Dao Realm expert.

 

He was fervent deep within as he instructed the Beast Generals to recite the scripture. He was determined to trap and kill Heavenly Divine General right there and then regardless of the price.

 

As long as he could win the first battle, he would get even more support from the Beast Court in the following ones.

 

Now, he was only using part of the Heavenly Beast Soul Devouring Array’s power. He had not fully activated it.

 

The black mist soon covered the entire battlefield. The terrifying black storm swept across the place like the scythe of death.

 

There was no doubt the Land of Celestial Suffering’s army had been defeated. After Heavenly Divine General was trapped in the strange Array, the other Dao Realm experts hurriedly retreated in fear.

 

On the other hand, the morale of those from the Beast Court had been boosted. The Beast Gathering Conch sounded again as the Beast Soldiers charged forward.

 

This area that belonged to Land of Celestial Suffering had fallen!

 

The war shocked the whole Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Even the Beast Generals and Beast Sovereigns by Di Kun’s side did not expect this outcome, let alone the other Forces. No one had expected Land of Celestial Suffering to be defeated. After Chu Gucheng pulled a trick and killed billions of Beast Soldiers, those from the Beast Court finally got their revenge!

 

…

 

News about this war was spreading quickly, causing a commotion.

 

In the Rogue Abyss in the depths of the Beast Court, all ministers were dumbfounded. The outcome surprised everyone. Not only did those from the Beast Court defeat the other party, but they also managed to trap the famous Heavenly Divine General. Though the Heavenly Divine General had been the one to rush inside at the end, one had to know that he was the most powerful among the three Divine Generals. He was also more powerful than the Star Kings. Even the Ancient Beasts in the Ancestral Dao Realm might not be able to defeat him.

 

[How is this possible?] The Beast Overlord and the other Crown Princes of the Beast Court could not believe that Di Kun had won his first battle.

 

The Beast Ancestor, Di Li, guffawed. “He’s indeed my good Son. I didn’t expect him to have such an abstruse Ancient Array. It’s no wonder he’s so confident.”

 

He appeared elated. Although he had already expected that Di Kun had a special move, he was surprised that it was such a horrifying Ancient Array.

 

One had to know that Di Kun did not have the help of any Ancestral Dao Realm experts.

 

Those Ancient Beasts in the Ancestral Dao Realm from the Beast Court were only respectful to people like the Beast Ancestor. They had no regard for the Beast Generals and Beast Sovereigns.

 

Those Ancient Beasts felt that Di Kun was sick of living, so no one was willing to help him.

 

Now, things had taken a drastic turn. Many people could tell that there must be a mysterious helper behind Di Kun.

 

No one in the Beast Court could produce such a profound Ancient Array. It was a wonder how Di Kun even acquired it, and it was not until now that he showcased it.

 

[After the first battle, many ministers will start believing Little Seven. Since he has shown us his worth, he must have the confidence to truly achieve his goal.]

 

Di Li was no longer frustrated as he was in a good mood. He waved his hand and ordered that a banquet be prepared for Di Kun.

 

Although they had won the first battle, they were far from occupying Land of Celestial Suffering. If they continued hunting down the enemies, they might come across the reinforcements of Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

As such, he intended to tell Di Kun to come back first.

 

Those from Land of Celestial Suffering would come up with a way. After all, Chu Gucheng’s birthday was only two days away. No mistakes would be allowed.

 

Certainly, Di Li also had some questions to ask Di Kun. Otherwise, he could never be at ease.

 

Who was the mysterious person behind Di Kun? What was his intention? Why would he help Di Kun?

 

…

 

News about the war between Land of Celestial Suffering and the Beast Court soon spread across the entire Primary Hope Civilisation, causing a commotion.

 

On a peak covered in clouds in the depths of the Imperial Celestial Palace, Ling Yuxian, who was clad in a spotless white dress, was seated cross-legged with her eyes closed. As the breeze whisked through her, her hair danced in the air before covering half of her face again. Her jade-like skin radiated a glow.

 

She was cultivating an ancient Celestial Art. Although her eyes were closed, her arms were swaying rhythmically. The void around her seemed to have been suppressed by her body. The Great Dao surrounded her as though she was about to be reborn.

 

“You and several Elders shall attend the birthday banquet.”

 

Ripples formed in the void in the distance. Ling Yuling, who was clad in a silk white dress, walked out of it while bare-footed. She was wearing a veil, so her face was only faintly seen. As she parted her lips, she spoke in a soft tone.

 

Upon hearing her Older Sister’s words, Ling Yuxian opened her eyes and glanced at her in shock.

 

“Older Sister, didn’t you say you wanted to go? Why did you change your mind all of a sudden?” she asked in puzzlement.

 

Although Ling Yuling had not returned to the peak of her power, she was already in a much better state than when she was trapped in that dark space. An average Ancestral Dao Realm expert would not be a match for her.

 

Certainly, she had no intention of informing everyone in Primary Hope Civilisation about her return just yet.

 

Since the birthday of the Celestial Suffering King was around the corner, she intended to go over after a discussion with several Ancestors.

 

That was because she wanted to join forces with Forces like the Land of Celestial Suffering, Primary Hope Holy Church, and Tathagata Buddha Realm to form the Primary Hope Alliance so that they could deal with the upcoming calamity befalling the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

During this period, she had used an Exotic Treasure of the Imperial Celestial Palace, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, to make a deduction. She felt that Land of Celestial Suffering might be the current Fated One.

 

The King of Land of Celestial Suffering, Chu Gucheng, was a Fortuitous One. He might be the first to be impacted by the calamity.

 

In just 100 epochs, Land of Celestial Suffering developed rapidly and was now able to compete with the other Forces. It showed they had great potential.

 

As a Force that had been around since ancient times, the Imperial Celestial Palace had ample hidden forces. Now that she had returned, she would reveal her identity by then.

 

She believed that Forces like the Primary Hope Holy Church, Land of Celestial Suffering, and Tathagata Buddha Realm would readily agree to her request and form an alliance with her.
