Chapter 2069: Chapter 2069: Disaster Strikes, Decision

"Is it finally time to evolve?"

Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes, feeling his soul sublimating as his microcosm furiously absorbed the Primordial Source from the Land of Void, undergoing transformation.

However, transformation requires a process.

Even now, with the refinement speed of the Great Dao Golden Core increased tenfold, it would still take a thousand years to refine it, equivalent to about a month outside after ten thousand times time acceleration.

"Everyone, I will be able to advance to the Half-Step Heavenly Venerable Realm in about a month, by then, I will surely suppress the Indelible Seal of the Radiant Daoist and return successfully!"

Ye Feng conveyed this joyous news.

In the Void Heavenly World.

Upon hearing this news, Gong Qingqiu, Emperor Dragon Sovereign, Mo Ying, and others were extremely excited.

Ye Feng was actually about to break through to the Half-Step Heavenly Venerable!

When he was in the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm, he already possessed the strength to crush a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment. If he breaks through to a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, wouldn’t he be able to easily defeat a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable?

This is great news for the entire universe!

...

In the Cosmic Sea, the former stronghold of the Abyss Clan.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Dozens of Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, hundreds of Half-Step Heavenly Venerables arrived here, standing on the ruins.

They are the enforcers of the Abyss Clan.

As one of the five peak forces in the Cosmic Sea, the Abyss Clan has dozens to hundreds of Quasi-Heavenly Venerable powerhouses in the Cosmic Sea. However, generally, only one Quasi-Heavenly Venerable serves as the Bronze Holy Temple’s on-duty person, handling various affairs of the Abyss Clan in the Cosmic Sea.

Other Quasi-Heavenly Venerables are usually in secluded cultivation.

Previously, the Master of the Abyss occupied the Bronze Holy Temple and killed several Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, but that was just a small number, most Quasi-Heavenly Venerables were hidden in various places, not killed.

Now, they have all been awakened.

"When will the lords descend?" A powerful Quasi-Heavenly Venerable asked in a deep voice.

"Soon, it’s today."

"I heard that the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan is also rebuilding a base to welcome the arrival of the lords."

"Why such a large-scale mobilization?"

"To invade a high-grade Great Universe."

The crowd continued discussing and quickly began repairing the destroyed Bronze Holy Temple, rebuilding the Floating Island, with varied expressions on their faces, waiting for the descent of the Abyss Clan’s Heavenly Venerables.

Pop!

Suddenly, light burst in the sky, attracting everyone’s attention.

"They’ve arrived!"

The crowd clenched their fists, very excited.

The light grew more dazzling, eventually blinding everyone. When their sight was restored, they found hundreds of figures standing in the sky.

They were clad in armor, with three pairs of snow-white metallic wings on their backs, radiating brilliant light.

"Hiss!"

"Over a hundred Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments!"

"Oh my, there’s more than our Quasi-Heavenly Venerables."

The powerhouses of the Abyss Clan were dumbfounded.

At the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan’s main base, there was also reconstruction underway, with dozens of Quasi-Heavenly Venerables leading hundreds of Half-Step Heavenly Venerables quietly waiting.

Then, a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon descended.

Hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments came down to the mortal realm, each wearing armor with three pairs of metallic wings on their backs.

That’s the Battle Fall Armor!

Unlike the armor worn before, this armor could be sacrificed at critical moments, allowing each Heavenly Venerable to temporarily unseal their cultivation level. Although still suppressed by the Cosmic Sea’s terrestrial laws, their power was infinitely close to a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable.

Imagine.

Over a hundred cultivators, infinitely close to the strength of a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, invading a Great Universe. Although the sacrificial function of the Battle Fall Armor sharply reduced each Spirit Fragment’s lifespan to less than a year, it was still terrifying.

Even with a newly-advanced Heavenly Venerable in charge, that Heavenly Venerable would be overwhelmed by these hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments!

"Hahaha, Doomsday is upon us!"

The Quasi-Heavenly Venerables of the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan laughed maliciously.

"So this is the Cosmic Sea? It’s my first time here, there’s indeed a strong oppression. Even my Six-Turn Heavenly Venerable Peak cultivation level is forcibly suppressed to the level of a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable."

"Go, to Outer Domain Battlefield One."

The Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments of the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan set off in unison.

"To Outer Domain Battlefield Area Two."

The cultivators of the Abyss Clan chose to invade from this place, attacking together with the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan, sealing all the retreat routes of the Twin Universe.

Outer Domain Battlefield One.

The Sky Annihilation Four Immortals Array guards this area.

Previously, it was responsible for guarding Outer Battlefield Area Two, but because Ye Feng returned the Army-Destroyer Sword Spear to the Ancient Battlefield of Tengang Continent, the defense force of Area Two was fully sufficient, so it came to Outer Domain Battlefield One.

"I hope there won’t be any problems!"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign muttered.

Currently, Mo Ying, Emperor Dragon Sovereign, Huo Yunjie, and others have entered both battlefield areas, with at least three Quasi-Heavenly Venerables in each location.

The remaining Quasi-Heavenly Venerables are stationed in the universe.

"We have eleven Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, plus the Purple Fire Monarch, equivalent to twelve, along with several Half-Step Heavenly Venerables. Even if a Heavenly Venerable arrives, they must taste defeat."

That’s what everyone says.

"Oh, really? You’re quite arrogant!" A mocking voice sounded.

"Who?" Emperor Dragon Sovereign asked in a deep voice.

On the beach.

Suddenly, a wave of water appeared, with three figures clad in metallic wing armor emerging from it.

"Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments!"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign could sense the Fundamental Domain of Laws emanating from the opponent, immediately channeling his high-grade Great Universe pressure to counteract it, maintaining readiness for battle.

"Are you Emperor Dragon Sovereign?" asked a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment of the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan.

"Indeed, it’s me." Emperor Dragon Sovereign nodded. Beside him stood Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie.

Besides them, there were several Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, including the Six-Eyed Divine King and Divine Sword Immortal Emperor.

"I come from the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan, from the High Heavenly Blood Moon, as the Ninth Elder, a Six-Turn Heavenly Venerable Peak. If you are willing to join our clan, I can baptize you, strengthen your foundation, and appoint you as core true disciples, enjoying the best treatment."

The Ninth Elder of the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan said so.

They also had eight elders and the strongest clan leader, but none of them joined the fight, believing that hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments descending together could completely massacre a mere Twin Universe.

"Bah, we won’t surrender!"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign could see that falling into the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan would be equivalent to surrendering and betraying.

"You’re a man, but unfortunately, you chose the wrong path."

The Ninth Elder of the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan shook his head, showing a deep expression of disappointment.

Clap clap clap!

The Ninth Elder clapped his hands.

Beneath the sea surface, suddenly, over a hundred figures floated up, all Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments.

Behind them, there were dozens of Quasi-Heavenly Venerables and hundreds of Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, along with countless Cosmic Sea creatures, each with at least the strength of a Thirty-four Layer Immortal Emperor per capita.

"Oh my god!"

Emperor Dragon Sovereign was dumbfounded, even Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie were wide-eyed, as if facing Doomsday.

Outer Battlefield Area Two.

This place is guarded by Jia Yulan, Long Tianxing, Qiao Jiaxi, and they also rejected the recruitment of the Abyss Clan, encountering the same scene afterward.

"This is terrifying!"

Facing hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, dozens of Quasi-Heavenly Venerables’ true bodies, hundreds of Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, and an army with billions of Cosmic Sea powerhouses, even with Long Tianxing’s formidable strength, he was astounded.

"What to do?"

"Hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, each of us has to at least face thirty or forty; how do we fight?"

Jia Yulan clenched her fists.

"Since you are unwilling to join us, kill them all," said a Heavenly Venerable coldly.

"They are undying and indestructible, unkillable." Jin Yuan’s Spirit Fragment also descended, reminding them.

"Can’t kill them? Then send some to suppress them. The rest, immediately invade the Twin Universe, indiscriminately massacring all creatures of the Myriad Realms."

The leading Six-Turn Heavenly Venerable coldly commanded.

"Let me!"

A Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment attacked in an instant, although just a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, he immediately sacrificed the Origin of this Spirit Fragment, causing the Battle Fall Armor to be supremely sublimated, his aura skyrocketing from the level of an ordinary Invincible Supreme combat power Quasi-Heavenly Venerable to ninety-nine times.

This is infinitely close to a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable level!

He has already reached the cosmic limit!

"So strong!"

Jia Yulan and others were shocked. Although they resisted immediately, even three against one, they were still pushed back by the transcendent Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment.

"One person can’t hold them, I’ll join in."

The White Ape transcended, willing to sacrifice this Spirit Fragment and the battle-worn armor just to hold back Jia Yulan, Long Tianxing, and Qiao Jiaxi, these three demon-like quasi-Heavenly Venerables.

"Ten people will wear them down!"

The Six-Turn Heavenly Venerable from the Abyss Clan shouted, causing eight One-Turn Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments to choose to transcend, unleashing strength close to a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable.

From this moment, ten Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments transcended, easily suppressing Jia Yulan and the other two.

"Kill!"

The remaining nearly hundred Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments crossed through the Universe 426 passage, entering the Twin Universe.

"No!"

Jia Yulan and others tried to stop them, but found they could not withstand the ten transcendent Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, and could only watch helplessly as the army invaded the universe.

Outer Domain Battlefield One.

Here, similarly, ten Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments sacrificed the origin of their Spirit Fragments, burning their battle-worn armor, in exchange for briefly unlocking their cultivation levels and unleashing stronger strength.

Bang!

A few rounds passed, Emperor Dragon Sovereign, Mo Ying, and Huo Yunjie were held down firmly. Even though they temporarily broke free by self-detonating, they were still continuously suppressed.

"Kill, head towards the Twin Universe!" The remaining Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments easily killed a few Half-Step Heavenly Venerables in the Twin Universe, directly heading towards the cosmic passage.

Clang!

The Sky Annihilation Four Immortals Array spontaneously awakened, four longswords vigorously descended, forming a sword array, engulfing two Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, barely holding them at bay.

"Go, invade the universe."

The remaining hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments openly bypassed the battlefield of Mo Ying and others, entering the cosmic passage.

Tengang Continent.

Those who invaded from Outer Battlefield Area Two were immediately attacked by the Army-Destroyer Sword Spear, but several transcendent Heavenly Venerables halted them.

"Kill!"

The True Spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree broke out, leading the Four Dreams of Heaven and Earth, but was shattered into pieces by a single slap of a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment, perishing on the spot.

"No!"

Countless beings wailed, but shortly thereafter, they too were slaughtered by a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment.

"You’re courting death!"

The Fox Lady surged forward, roaring, and pushed her combat power to the limit, even her divine consciousness was empowered by the Twin Universe, enhancing her strength further.

At this moment, she was equivalent to a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable!

Crack!

With just one strike, the transcendent Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragment was blasted hundreds of meters away, the armor on the chest shattered instantly, astonishing everyone.

"This Fox Lady is so strong!"

"She is the protector of the Misty Holy Sect, second only to Ye Feng as a top powerhouse."

"Where is Ye Feng?"

"Don’t know, let’s destroy the universe first."

A dozen Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments transcended, combined their strength to create a killing array, using themselves as the core, successfully holding back the powerful Fox Lady.

"Sect Leader, I tried my best!"

Fox Lady was already very strong, her presence enhanced by the cosmic consciousness made her akin to a Heavenly Venerable who had just proven their path in the universe, but facing the killing array formed by over ten Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments nearing One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, she could only barely resist, quickly sending a message through the Void Heavenly World to Ye Feng.

Small Universe.

Ye Feng was concentrating on refining his first Great Dao Golden Core, having already completed one-fifth, feeling the bottleneck of the Small Universe’s barrier thinning.

Suddenly, he heard the call for help.

"What!"

"Outer Domain Battlefield One and Two are simultaneously attacked by the Abyss Clan and Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan, and they’ve dispatched over two to three hundred Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments, absolutely insane!"

Ye Feng’s face turned grim.

He wished to go help.

But, glancing at the Great Dao Golden Core still being refined in his hand, Ye Feng’s face turned even darker.

"What to do? I can’t break through the Lower Rank Great Universe yet, even if I stop advancing, I wouldn’t be a match for Radiant Daoist’s Indelible Seal."

"Therefore, I must break through!"

"Only by breaking through to the next realm can I have the power to defeat the Indelible Seal of the Radiant Daoist."

"Then, I can fight my way back."

Ye Feng gritted his teeth, continuing to absorb the Void Energy and Primordial Source, refining the Great Dao Golden Core in his hand.

Void Heavenly World.

Ye Feng’s grand voice echoed, heard by every cultivator able to enter the Void Heavenly World.

"Fellow Daoists, I am Ye Feng!"

"At present, I am trapped beneath the Abyss. Here, there is an Indelible Seal of a Dao Monarch Realm that keeps me confined, making escape impossible for now."

"Now, I am striving with all my might to break through the realm."

"Only breaking through will allow me to slay him."

"Universe, I must rely on you for now!"

Ye Feng spoke almost through gritted teeth.

Countless people hearing this had faces full of despair.

If Ye Feng couldn’t return, relying solely on the current Fox Lady, Emperor Dragon Sovereign, and others, they certainly couldn’t withstand the overwhelming power of two or three hundred Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments.

"We cannot wait for death!"

All the cultivators of the Universe mobilized, some going to support the Tengang Continent, others heading to the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom.

"We must hold on!"

"When Sect Master Ye returns, victory will be ours!"

Tens of thousands of cultivators shouted.

Ye Feng had already become the spiritual and power pillar of the entire Universe, with everyone feeling that in the face of the current universal doomsday, they had to hold on until Ye Feng returns.

He is the last hope.

"Buy time for Sect Master Ye!" The Ancestor of Demons rushed out, face full of determination.

"Are you crazy?" The Crimson Queen followed, "You are someone with hope of proving the Heavenly Venerable Dao. If the Universe opens the Heavenly Venerable Dao proving at this time, with your success, we might still have a thread of hope!"

"Haha, proving the Dao? Is there still a chance?" The Ancestor of Demons glanced around.

In the vast starry sky.

Countless cultivators flew towards the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom and Tengang Continent, transforming into streaks of light, seen from afar as endless comets, exceedingly magnificent.

"Fox Lady and Emperor Dragon Sovereign can’t withstand those immensely ascended Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments. Do you think, before Ye Feng returns, we can hold our ground?"

The Ancestor of Demons retorted.

The Crimson Queen sighed, saying, "We could attempt to communicate with the Cosmic Consciousness, see if we can bring forward the opening of the Heavenly Venerable Dao proving."

"There is no chance." The Ancestor of Demons shook his head.

"Why?" The Crimson Queen was puzzled.

"I have already communicated with the Cosmic Consciousness. It said proving the Heavenly Venerable Dao is not so easy. The Universe has accumulated for so long, and finally formed this super peak prosperous age. It has reached its limit, and the next Heavenly Venerable Dao proving day must be a year later to start. If the Heavenly Venerable Dao proving is prematurely started, the Origin of the Universe will be damaged by the Great Dao, and the original three Heavenly Venerable slots will drop to one." The Ancestor of Demons said helplessly.

"Ye Feng is trapped beneath the Abyss, whether he can return is uncertain. So, you should communicate with the Cosmic Consciousness and prove the Heavenly Venerate Dao! Although this would mean only one Heavenly Venerable for this Origin Era, at least we could withstand all invaders."

The Crimson Queen said solemnly.

"Do you think that even with combat power tens of times that of ordinary Invincible Supreme Venerables, even if I become a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, I would truly be a match for hundreds of Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments?"

The Ancestor of Demons felt utterly powerless.

No matter whether it is the Outer Battlefield Area One or Outer Battlefield Area Two, those engaged in battle transmit images to the Void Heavenly World for all to see.

Through the images, the Ancestor of Demons witnessed the might of those immensely ascended Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments, seeing the comparable-to-Heavenly Venerable Fox Lady held by a dozen Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments. Even if he managed to prove the Dao, he might not win.

"Ultimately, there is a glimmer of hope. Sect Leader suggests you might try." At this moment, a graceful figure appeared by his side, speaking softly.

It was Gong Qingqiu.

She had not yet entered the battlefield, having just received Ye Feng’s transmission, advising the Ancestor of Demons to prove the Dao.

Ye Feng initially hoped the Fox Lady would prove the Dao.

But she was already entangled with strong enemies, unable to free herself. In the Universe, the strongest combat powers of the same realm were left only with the Ancestor of Demons.

"Really this way?" The Ancestor of Demons was still unwilling to forsake others’ hopes of proving the Heavenly Venerable Dao.

"Stop dawdling, hurry to prove the Dao, only by securing the Universe can there be a future." The Crimson Queen scolded, slapping the Ancestor of Demons on the face, ’hating iron for not becoming steel’, "At worst, I’ll wait till the next Origin Era to prove the Dao, it’s not like I can’t wait."

Boom!

Just then, terrifying shock waves simultaneously erupted from the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom and Tengang Continent, attracting the attention of all strong figures in the Universe who followed the law fluctuations gaze.
