His words made the general on the other side livid. Those from the Heavenslayers Alliance were truly arrogant. Regardless of how much those from the Righteous Alliance gave in, they would still be harassed by the other party.

 

Now, those from the Heavenslayers Alliance no longer took the Righteous Alliance seriously. They dared to invade their territories and then leave as they pleased.

 

“Let’s see why you have the confidence to be so haughty,” growled the general from the Righteous Alliance. His muscles started bulging and a precious light radiated from his body. Then, he shot forward.

 

“You’re coming at me at the right time. I can earn some contribution points by destroying you.” The figure with a pair of green wings on his back sneered. With a look of disdain on his face, he extended his hand and a green light spread. His figure seemed indestructible, with strength that could tear apart Heaven and Earth.

 

*Boom!* Boundless Light exploded as the two of them exchanged blows.

 

Their armies left this region to prevent getting affected by the fluctuations.

 

A battle between two Dao Realm experts was enough to destroy a universe. Moreover, the two of them were stronger than the average Dao Realm expert. A wisp of the aftershock could destroy an entire army.

 

Before their eyes, the ripples of the Great Dao spread and World Principles tore. Mist of Chaos shot into the sky as all sorts of energy intertwined with one another, turning everything into dust.

 

After exchanging hundreds of moves, the general from the Righteous Alliance suddenly had a premonition.

 

He felt a cold aura, and his expression changed drastically. He immediately retreated backwards.

 

But it was too late. His opponent, the being with a pair of wings, sneered and a symbol on his cheek started glowing faintly.

 

A green flying sword shot out of his mouth and slashed across the void. As though transcending Spacetime, it penetrated the centre of the brows of the Righteous Alliance’s general.

 

The next moment, his blood shot upwards and spread across the sky like a reversed waterfall. Then, it fell from above.

 

There was no mystery as to what the outcome was. The general from the Righteous Alliance was killed. The centre of his brows fell apart, and his blood dyed the sky red. Even his Primordial Spirit was split in half.

 

Time seemed to have frozen at that moment. Those from the Righteous Alliance were all shocked and fearful. None of them expected the battle to end so quickly.

 

After all, the two of them had only exchanged hundreds of moves. Usually, a battle between two Dao Realm experts would last for several years or even longer.

 

They were surprised by how strong the Dao Realm expert from the Heavenslayers Alliance was. That move he had used was horrifying, enough to snub the life of another expert of the same realm in one move.

 

On the other hand, those from the Heavenslayers Alliance loudly cheered. Since the Righteous Alliance had just lost their general, how could they now stand against them?

 

“It’s a secret technique that even the Alliance Leader thinks highly of. It’s worth the numerous contribution points I needed to exchange it for.”

 

The figure with a pair of wings was pleased with the outcome. He could not help but be amazed as well.

 

On the other hand, those from the Righteous Alliance donned dark expressions. They knew that to reward the soldiers at the front lines, the Heavenslayers Alliance had created a contribution point system.

 

They could collect contribution points by killing enemies and then exchange opportunities and treasures for those points.

 

Some rumours said that when one collected enough contribution points, they would be invited to see the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader and receive some guidance from him.

 

This winged expert from the Heavenslayers Alliance had apparently purchased an abstruse secret technique with contribution points. That was why he could easily kill a Dao Realm expert of the same level.

 

“Kill them!” The expert with a pair of wings became even more domineering. As he waved his hand, the soldiers behind him streamed forward like a rising tide.

 

He was the first to bolt forward and make a move. With his mighty attacks, he sent the enemies flying away while their blood spilt in the air. The was a violent sight.

 

The soldiers of the Righteous Alliance could only retreat.

 

…

 

Meanwhile, in a chaotic and mysterious place where time didn’t seem to be flowing, there was a magnificent bronze palace.

 

It was brightly lit inside the hall. A figure in a white robe was calmly seated on a cushion. In front of him was a copper basin, which was filled with water. Sometimes the ripples spread on the surface, but sometimes they came together. Scenes of different places in the Boundless Expanse were reflected on it.

 

“Many thanks, Fellow Cultivator.” In front of the white-robed figure was a righteous-looking Daoist with a deep gaze. He spoke with a gentle smile.

 

“You don’t have to thank me. We’re one, after all. If you achieve Enlightenment, I’ll achieve Enlightenment as well.” The white-robed person waved his hand with a calm gaze.

 

“I’ll surely achieve Enlightenment in this life. No one can stop me.” The Daoist nodded. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of mist and disappeared.

 

“Can he really achieve Enlightenment?” The white-robed person’s gaze darkened. As he waved his hand, the bronze mirror before his eyes blurred. Then, a pungent smell was coming from the water.

 

He was startled for a moment before feeling frightened. He was not sure if it was just his eyes playing tricks on his, as he saw a pair of icy eyes looking at him through the bronze mirror.

 

“We best retreat, Lady Chu. It seems like those from the Heavenslayers Alliance are determined to destroy us.”

 

On another battlefield between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance, the war was equally violent.

 

A woman in white clothes easily tossed out powerful techniques, one after another, as she charged around her enemies. She easily killed waves after waves of people, causing a bloodbath.

 

Her gaze was icy and dispassionate. The Demonic Energy around her made her look like a true Demon.

 

A man who looked like an adjutant followed the white-clothed woman around and kept persuading her to retreat.

 

The white-clothed woman was young and slender, but in a war like this, she could lead a group of true experts. This showed that her background was extraordinary.

 

However, the adjutant was worried that he could not bear the responsibilities if anything happened to this woman.

 

Reinforcements from the Heavenslayers Alliance were on their way. When they arrived, those from the Righteous Alliance would surely lose their lives.

 

“It’s such a shame…” The white-clothed woman was still impassive. She finally stopped what she was doing upon hearing the adjutant’s words. She looked meditatively at the other end of the Boundless Sea of Stars while suppressing her eagerness to hunt down her enemies.

 

“Lady Chu, you’re not supposed to train at the front line. You’ll lose your life if you’re not careful. This is not a playground.” The adjutant said cautiously.

 

The white-clothed woman was named Chu Xiuyan, the Chosen One from the Radiant Yang True World. Her Father was the Deputy Leader of the Righteous Alliance, the Universe Destroyer Residence Master.

 

Supposedly, a young prodigy with a powerful background like her was not supposed to be killing enemies at the front line.

 

However, the white-clothed woman loved going against the norms. She had been showing up on different battlefields, challenging prodigies of the same generation. With the reason that she would like to train, she frequently got into life-and-death battles.

 

Her bravery and ruthlessness made many in the Righteous Alliance admire her.

 

One had to know that most people would choose to stay away from the front lines, worried that they would lose their lives. It was especially true for those with extraordinary backgrounds. However, Chu Xiuyan was different. She simply was not afraid of death.

 

This time, she had even chosen a battlefield where they were directly clashing with the soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

“She won’t be so lucky next time.” Chu Xiuyan shook her head and glanced at the Boundless Sea of Stars in the distance. Then, she disappeared from this Star Territory.

 

“It’s so difficult to deal with an opponent like her. I guess I can’t underestimate the young prodigies of the Righteous Alliance.”

 

Meanwhile, on the other end of the Boundless Sea of Stars, a young woman with grey hair and eyes and whose skin was as fair as snow frowned. She looked in the direction Chu Xiuyan had disappeared while feeling wary.

 

“I didn’t expect you to come across a worthy opponent. This is a true rarity, ever since the White Bone Ancestor King had become your Master.”

 

An alluring woman approached the grey-haired young woman and spoke with a look of interest.

 

“I had underestimated her and suffered for it. But, it won’t happen again the next time we meet.” The grey-haired young woman shook her head and her gaze was full of determination.

 

“Lady Mu Yan, reinforcements have arrived. Should we go after our enemies?”

 

Just then, a powerful Dao Realm expert came over and cupped his fists before asking the question.

 

Upon hearing that, Mu Yan shook her head. “It’s pointless to chase after them. Those from the Righteous Alliance have suffered massively this time. They will surely retaliate. They’ll likely launch an attack against us soon. We have to get prepared to counterattack.”

 

“Understood.” The Dao Realm expert respectfully left.

 

Mu Yan looked at the other end of the Boundless Sea of Stars and muttered, “We have to get prepared for the imminent great war.”

 

During this period, the Heavenslayers Alliance’s attacks had been ruthless. It seemed they were determined to destroy the Righteous Alliance.

 

Beings like Mu Yan and Mo Tong also showed up in different places and joined the battlefield to earn contribution points.

 

Other than the Star Territory before their eyes, the soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance had also stormed into many universes.

 

Many powerful Ancestral Dao Realm experts showed up and led the armies to destroy the enemies.

 

Unless the high-ranking officials of the Righteous Alliance appeared, ordinary cultivators were powerless against them.

 

The Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace, Ling Yuling, was regarded as the Deputy Leader of the Heavenslayers Alliance. Under her leadership, they had enlisted many powerful experts.

 

Following the violent attacks, many of Righteous Alliance’s territories got occupied.

 

Their generals had no choice but to retreat and forsake these territories, returning to the central area of the Righteous Alliance.

 

Although there was a peace treaty between the Righteous Alliance and the dark beings, they could not possibly hope that the other party would collaborate with them to deal with the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

That was because some territories of dark beings were invaded by the Heavenslayers Alliance as well.

 

Numerous Forces felt that those from the Heavenslayers Alliance were determined to battle against both the Righteous Alliance and the dark beings, even if it meant the twi enemies might collaborate.

 

Their determination made various Forces shocked and fearful. If they did not know any better, they might think that the Heavenslayers Alliance had some blood feuds with the two other sides.

 

From the look of it, the only Forces in the Boundless Expanse that could stop the Heavenslayers Alliance were the Righteous Alliance and the dark beings.

 

The powers of other Civilisations and True Worlds were far too weak.

 

After the Heavenslayers Alliance destroyed all obstacles, no Force would be able to stop them. This made many elated and worried at the same time.

 

They were elated because the dark beings would be restrained. On the other hand, they were worried because the Heavenslayers Alliance would become the dominant Force, which would rule over the entire Boundless Expanse.

 

In just thousands of years, the Heavenslayers Alliance managed to spread its influence across the Boundless Expanse. They were still unstoppable even when the dark beings had returned.

 

This showed how domineering and horrifying the Heavenslayers Alliance was.

 

Until now, many Forces had yielded to the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Those that stood on the sidelines naturally hoped to see a situation where the different parties restrained one another instead of one Force being dominant.

 

When one grew stronger, the other would become weaker. If the Heavenslayers Alliance continued to grow, no Force in the Boundless Expanse would have a right to go against it after the Righteous Alliance fell apart.

 

For this reason, many Forces still hoped to see the Righteous Alliance remained standing.

 

Regions near the Righteous Alliance and the Heavenslayers Alliance were in turmoil. Many Forces ran away, worried that they would be affected by the war between the two Alliances.

 

As reinforcements of the Heavenslayers Alliance arrived, numerous Dao Realm experts from the Righteous Alliance showed up at the border.

 

Some Ancestral Dao Realm experts faintly revealed themselves in the void, exposing their powerful auras.

 

The appearance of so many Ancestral Dao Realm experts from the Righteous Alliance caught many people’s attention.

 

This showed a massive war was imminent.

 

In the past, the Righteous Alliance would always choose to avoid confronting the Heavenslayers Alliance. It was the first time they dealt with them head-on.

 

Many Forces started speculating that the Righteous Alliance could no longer suffer more losses. They were now ready to initiate their final war against the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

The Dawn Ancient City was an area near the border of the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance. It had a long history and included an enormous Star Territory.

 

Three Families used to hold control over it.

 

Every Family had been around for millions of years. Their numbers included many cultivators in the Ancestral Dao Realm.

 

However, since they were affected by the war between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance, the three Families moved out. As such, the Dawn Ancient City gradually became desolate.

 

Even though this place was important, since it connected several Star Territories, not many powerful experts could be spotted here. Only some local residents, who still remained.

 

As some unpleasant caws were heard, three dazzling Suns rose into the sky in the distance. They then headed towards the Dawn Ancient City.

 

Upon closer look, one would realise three Golden Crows were pulling a luxurious carriage.

 

Behind the carriage was surging Beastial Energy.

 

Countless soldiers appeared, traversed across the air with flags swaying with the wind. They were like waves streaming in a single direction from a distance.

 

They were the soldiers from the Beast Race. The boundless Beastial Energy covered the entire sky, which was a terrifying sight.

 

“The soldiers from the Beast Court have arrived. Is the person at the head the current Beast Overlord? It’s said that he’s a trusted aide of the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader. The Beast Court was the main force that destroyed Land of Celestial Suffering.”

 

“Even the Beast Overlord of the Beast Court has shown up. It seems that the final war between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance is about to break out.”

 

Many grew fearful.

 

Countless soldiers hovered between Heaven and Earth. The entire universe was filled with murderous intent. Anyone would tremble in fear.

 

In just a few days, the reinforcements of the Heavenslayers Alliance had arrived. Other than the soldiers from the Beast Court, there were also powerful cultivators from other Forces. They set up tents near the Dawn Ancient City.

 

On the other end of the Star Territory was a city as ancient as the Dawn Ancient City. Divine Lights were seen flashing across the air.

 

A Spacetime Rift appeared at the end of the sky. Figures surrounded by a Mist of Chaos stepped out of it and arrived at the city.

 

Then, a Divine Light beamed from the ancient city and shot into the sky. The space teleportation array was activated as many ancient battleships traversed across Great Universes.

 

Every ancient battleship carried soldiers full of murderous intent. It was as though they had just come out of a bloody war.

 

“It seems like they’ve run out of patience. Are they well-prepared?”

 

An enormous green bird traversed across the universe and appeared in this ancient city. On its back, Chu Xiuyan furrowed her brows while looking at the formation in the ancient city.

 

Over the years, the Righteous Alliance had been trying to avoid coming into direct contact with the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Their high-ranking officials would always choose to give in. This was the first time they had decided to go against the Heavenslayers Alliance head-on.

 

She had no idea why the high-ranking officials of the Righteous Alliance suddenly had the confidence to clash with the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Given her experience of going against the Heavenslayers Alliance at the front lines over the years, she lacked confidence in the Righteous Alliance. How could they match against the Heavenslayers Alliance? There was an obvious gap between two parties.

 

The two ancient cities were separated by a vast Star Territory. Presently, the armies of the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance were moving out to confront one another.

 

Apart from here, similar scenes were enacted in different universes. The soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance were coming from all directions, ready to besiege the Righteous Alliance.
