Countless people from different Civilisations and True Worlds were watching what was happening here.

 

The two biggest Forces had gathered their armies. Since the final war was about to break out, the atmosphere was violent.

 

“Those from the Heavenslayers Alliance have crossed the line. This war is inevitable.”

 

A high-ranking official of the Righteous Alliance showed up in the ancient city and hovered in the void with an icy gaze.

 

Behind the high-ranking official were several powerful experts.

 

Over the years, the Righteous Alliance had been giving in for various reasons. They always avoided clashing with the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

This made many high-ranking officials displeased and vexed. They had been suppressing their fury for a long time, and now, they had finally received a notice which said that they could now fight it out with the other party.

 

This war was inevitable. They could no longer give in, and they were not afraid of all out war.

 

Just then, bronze ancient chariots were seen traversing across the sky. Their wheels flew across the Star Territory as the Great Universe trembled.

 

On those ancient chariots stood rows of soldiers. Everyone was clad in armour and holding either a sabre or a spear. The icy glow slashed across the Starry Sky, which could easily make anyone tremble in fear.

 

There were many factions within the Righteous Alliance. Some were eager to fight, whereas some wanted to retain peace. There were also those who chose to avoid the war.

 

However, as the Alliance Leader and several Deputy Leaders of the Righteous Alliance expressed their willingness to fight. So, the rest had no choice but to send out their experts to the front lines, regardless of their Will.

 

Countless soldiers had gathered. The light from their armour flickered.

 

“Are all of you from the Heavenslayers Alliance ready for true bloodshed? We’ve never been afraid of anything or anyone. We will grant you time to think it through. There’s a huge price to pay once we start.” Growled a powerful expert from the Righteous Alliance. His loud voice reverberated across the universe, causing nearby stars to tremble.

 

On the other end of the Star Territory, those from the Heavenslayers Alliance watched everything with dispassion. No one responded to him.

 

The Beast Overlord of the Beast Court, Di Kun, had arrived. Behind him, the Beast soldiers were murderous and poised for battle.

 

Over the years, he had led his army to wage wars against many Forces, and he had made a name for himself. His reputation was much greater than when he just took over the position of Beast Overlord.

 

Even the Beast Ancestor, Di Huang, was now less authoritative than he was.

 

“We’re here to wage a war against the Righteous Alliance following the Alliance Leader’s order. The Righteous Alliance has collaborated with the dark beings to devastate the Boundless Expanse. With the Will of Heaven on our side, we’re obliged to uphold justice and right your wrongs. Anyone who gets in our way will be destroyed!”

 

Di Kun left the carriage with a dispassionate expression. He wore a crown and was clad in a loose purple robe embroidered with patterns of Dragons and Qilins. His gaze was deep.

 

As he waved his sleeve, a scroll with a supreme aura appeared and shot into the sky. Billions of Divine Lights and countless Grand Runes flickered. Every word was finely written.

 

A horrifying aura surged, causing countless to tremble.

 

A slender figure was vaguely seen on the surface of the scroll.

 

He seemed to be seated at the end of Heaven and Earth. Behind him was an illusory image of a boundless world. He was also surrounded by divine flames. It was as though he was looking at everyone from a different dimension.

 

All those from the Heavenslayers Alliance piously knelt in the direction of the illusory figure.

 

“That’s the illusory figure of the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader. It seems that he’s determined to move against us.”

 

Those of the Righteous Alliance were shocked. They immediately felt some indescribable pressure bearing against them. Their foreheads were beaded with sweat and their faces paled. They also felt their chests tightening.

 

They had to suppress their urge to kneel in that direction. Their legs became weak and their backs felt immensely pressured.

 

The soldiers of the Righteous Alliance now grew fearful. It was like they were insignificant ants facing against a True Dragon.

 

This immense pressure was suffocating. Even before it began, many lost the motivation to fight.

 

They were terrified and pale, not knowing whether they stood a chance to go against a being like the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader.

 

The other party could easily destroy an entire Spacetime and annihilate an era with a flash of thought.

 

In the ancient city, the green bird hovered in the sky and spread its enormous wings. Chu Xiuyan stood above it and her expression changed slightly.

 

The Heavenslayers Alliance Leader was a familiar being to various Races and Civilisations in the Boundless Expanse. It was because the Heavenslayers Alliance he had built up was both famous and intimidating.

 

Nevertheless, few people had seen the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader firsthand.

 

He was just as mysterious as the person who had aided her Father, which she found out from a scene in the Chaos Golden Book.

 

However, she still found the figure familiar at that moment. For some reason, she felt that she had seen that figure before.

 

Although the figure was vague as the man was covered in Mist of Chaos, she was certain that she had seen this figure before.

 

“Is that you?” She suddenly recalled a being and fell into a dazed state. She parted her lips and muttered to herself.

 

“Kill them!”

 

While Chu Xiuyan was in a dazed state, people were suddenly heard shouting from the various Star Territories. Lights shot into the sky and all sorts of auras surged.

 

After Di Kun summoned the scroll, countless soldiers from the Heavenslayers Alliance bolted forward. There did not seem to be an end to their formation. They were sweeping through the universe like waves.

 

Heaven and Earth were torn apart and the universe trembled.

 

War abruptly broke out.

 

Those from the Heavenslayers Alliance were well-prepared. Knowing that a war would break out, they had set up various kinds of Arrays in advance. The chariots and ancient battleships kept shifting positions in the Star Territory. The soldiers connected themselves to the Great Dao while standing in the Arrays.

 

The every of Heaven and Earth was continuously drawn to them. Powerful experts of the Heavenslayers Alliance planted flags embroidered with ancient patterns in various places.

 

Between Heaven and Earth, everything was shrouded in mist. Countless soldiers were penetrating the mist, destroying everything that got in their way like they were phantoms.

 

At the same time, wars broke out in other universes. Powerful experts from the Heavenslayers Alliance appeared and cut off the connections between various places of the Righteous Alliance. They had besieged the high-ranking officials of the Righteous Alliance in an attempt to destroy them.

 

“Kill them! Do not give them a chance to retaliate!”

 

“They’ve collaborated with the dark beings. All of us have a right to destroy them!”

 

Divine Lights beamed from those ancient battleships. Furious figures stepped out of the battleships and traversed across the Star Territory before getting into battles against the powerful experts of the Righteous Alliance.

 

“We can’t retreat this time. Those from the Heavenslayers Alliance will just continue to push. They intend to rule over the entire Boundless Expanse. If the Righteous Alliance falls apart, no other Force will be able to restrain them.”

 

A powerful expert growled in the depths of the universe. His blood spilt as he was besieged by several experts from the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

A whirring sound was heard as the Arrays set up in the ancient city were activated. Boundless Light shot into the sky and illuminated the dark universe.

 

Portals opened up in the void. Lights flickered and flags swayed with the wind. The reinforcements of the Righteous Alliance came over like waves and clashed with the soldiers of the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

The wars in other universes were equally brutal. Dao Realm experts were fighting on different battlefields. Their blood streamed down from the void, which made for a terrifying sight.

 

…

 

“As long as I can kill three more Ancestral Dao Realm experts, I’ll have enough contribution points to trade for a bottle of Evolution Matter. By then, I’ll have a chance to get through my Ninth Decay Tribulation!”

 

The battlefield outside the world was filled with darkness, where even the strongest experts could not see through.

 

In this place, the rules were incomplete and the Great Dao was broken. Any Principles would be suppressed.

 

Just then, a horrifying Golden Crow traversed across the entire Spacetime. The River of Time manifested itself under his feet. A light radiated from the river and the fragments intertwined with one another. The massive fluctuations affected the past and the present.

 

He was so enormous that it was as though the entire world could not accommodate him. His eyes were as dazzling as the Sun. They radiated a golden glow which was tinged with stubbornness and madness.

 

He was the Ancestor of the Beast Court as well as the Father of the current Beast Overlord, Di Kun. He was Di Huang, the Beast Ancestor.

 

Across from him was a figure with red hair. Beneath his feet was a blood ocean where many demonic phantoms swam.

 

A red mist billowed from the blood ocean. Some shocking figures were revealed. They were the Great Sages, Emperors, and Kings from ancient times. They were killed by the figure with red hair.

 

As they clashed on this battlefield outside the world, billions of Principles evolved and the Chaos was destroyed and reborn. It was as though Heaven and Earth were remoulded.

 

Their intimidating auras in the Ancestral Dao Realm swept across the entire Spacetime. An ordinary Dao Realm expert who dared to enter this battlefield would be turned into dust immediately.

 

“Beast Ancestor, I didn’t expect you to yield to the Heavenslayers Alliance. I heard that the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader had made use of the Beast Court to deal with Land of Celestial Suffering.”

 

Blood light illuminated the sky. From the boundless blood ocean, the figure with red hair assumed Human Form. He was a middle-aged man with a black beard who was clad in a red robe.

 

His eyes were bloodshot and his expression was icy. The Great Dao of Blood swirled around him.

 

“Well, aren’t you working for the Righteous Alliance, Blood Ancestor? I wonder what benefits they’ve given you that you’re willing to get into a life-and-death battle with me.” Di Huang sneered. His enormous figure seemed to be the only being in this area.

 

A massive Sun appeared behind him and illuminated the entire blood ocean. It was as though it could make all substances evaporate.

 

In the entire Boundless Expanse, only a small number of people had gone through their Eighth Decay Tribulation. Before his eyes was an ancient being who had been famous for many epochs, called the Blood Ancestor.

 

It was said that Blood Ancestor had acquired the inheritance of a being from the Pre-Heaven Era. He was nurtured from the latter’s reincarnated body. He had gotten through his Eighth Decay Tribulation many epochs ago and his power was inscrutable.

 

Beast Ancestor never expected Blood Ancestor to submit himself to the Righteous Alliance.

 

One had to know that beings like them stood at the top of the Boundless Expanse. No one could force them to do anything.

 

Beast Ancestor decided to work for Gu Changge because he coveted that mysterious substance. Di Kun had previously brought a bottle of it to him following Gu Changge’s order.

 

His cultivation had been stuck for many epochs. After he refined the mysterious substance in the bottle, the bottleneck started loosening.

 

The path ahead was initially shrouded in a mist, but a light suddenly illuminated it, guiding him in his path.

 

Beast Ancestor had been alive for countless epochs, but it was his first time coming across such a mysterious substance. It was only natural that he was astonished.

 

It was like when a Mortal found out what Spiritual Energy was or how one could live forever. That felt like awakening from a dream. It made Beast Ancestor terrified.

 

He had no idea where Gu Changge acquired this mysterious substance, but it was indeed what Dao Realm experts needed to advance further.

 

It was like he had been thirsty for many years. Suddenly, he was given a bowl of spring water.

 

Unable to hold back his curiosity, Beast Ancestor secretly went to see Gu Changge to find out what the substance was.

 

At that time, Gu Change did not hide anything from him. He smiled and said it was the Evolution Matter, which contained the secret to Transcendence.

 

Only then did Beast Ancestor realise why so many experts from Forbidden Areas willingly followed Gu Changge and worked for him.

 

Gu Changge’s background was surely unimaginable. He could directly take out the ever mysterious Evolution Matter and put it in the Contribution Hall of the Heavenslayers Alliance for anyone to purchase.

 

Beast Ancestor dared not even think where such a substance came from. Now, he just wanted to collect enough contribution points sooner to trade for a bottle of Evolution Matter.

 

He had a feeling that this was his only chance to get through his Ninth Decay Tribulation.

 

Over the years, he had fought on various battlefields and targeted beings of the same level from the Righteous Alliance. However, all Ancestral Dao Realm experts were smart. The moment they detected danger, they would immediately flee instead of clashing with him.

 

This was the reason he had only killed one Ancestral Dao Realm expert so far. He still needed to kill a few more to collect enough contribution points and purchase a bottle of Evolution Matter.

 

The Blood Master before his eyes was much stronger than an average Ancestral Dao Realm expert. Just like him, the Blood Master had gone through his Eighth Decay Tribulation.

 

If he could kill Blood Ancestor, he would have enough contribution points to buy a bottle of Evolution Matter.

 

“We all work for our respective leaders. What’s the point of you clashing with me head-on?” Blood Master stared fixedly at the Beast Ancestor with his bloodshot eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice.

 

He could feel that Beast Ancestor was truly intending to kill him.

 

What reward was it that made Beast Ancestor willingly work for the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader and put his life at risk?

 

Was it because the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader could use his mysterious power to control people’s minds and turn them into his followers, just like what everyone said?

 

“It seems that you’re not willing to put your life at risk for the Righteous Alliance. Are you forced to do this.” Beast Ancestor sneered. He could easily see through Blood Ancestor’s mind. “If you’re tactful, surrender to us now. There’s no way the Righteous Alliance can go against our Alliance Leader. Seize the chance when the Alliance Leader had yet to decide to make a move. You would be truly naive to think that the Righteous Alliance and dark beings could go against our Alliance Leader by joining forces.”

 

A myriad of expressions came over Blood Ancestor when he heard that. It never occurred to him that the proud and arrogant Beast Ancestor would say such a thing one day. He wondered just who the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader truly was.

 

“It seems that you’ve been brainwashed. I heard that you had exchanged moves with the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader, but you ran away after only one move. You are no longer the haughty and intimidating Beast Ancestor I know.”

 

Blood Ancestor stared coldly at him. Without speaking further, he shot out from the boundless blood ocean and pounced on Beast Ancestor.

 

The next moment, Heaven and Earth fell apart as howls were heard. It was like doomsday had arrived. All sorts of Principles danced around, turning into a storm which swept through everything.

 

All kinds of Daos were enacted between them. Those were not ordinary Principles. As they clashed, the ripples of Great Dao spread across the present and the past, disrupting the River of Time.

 

If a storm like this appeared in any universe or Civilisation, it would easily destroy everything. It was more terrifying than any calamity.

 

Throughout history, it was probably the first time two Ancestral Dao Realm experts who had gone through their Eighth Decay Tribulation fought one another.

 

…

 

Epic wars had also erupted in different areas. Those were battles of people of the same level. Those who did not reach the Ancestral Dao Realm did not even have the right to have a hand in this.

 

The final war between the Heavenslayers Alliance and the Righteous Alliance shocked the entire Boundless Expanse.

 

Countless Forces were flabbergasted.

 

The Boundless Expanse as they knew it had been around for countless epochs, but there had never been a war of this scale.

 

Many Civilisations and True Worlds would be forever lost due to this war, and no one knew when the war would end.

 

Were those from the Heavenslayers Alliance determined to destroy the Righteous Alliance once and for all?

 

Also, what would dark beings do at this point? Would they collaborate with the Righteous Alliance to go against the Heavenslayers Alliance? Or would they watch the war on the sidelines?
