Chapter 2862: Invasion
The North Cliff Region had been under the Devil World’s rule since the Devil World invaded it back then. This had caused significant criticism in the Divine Prefecture, and many people even doubted Donghuang the Great.
At this time, strong figures of the Devil World continuously appeared at the borders between the North Cliff Region and Devil World, arriving at the North Cliff Region. The various Devil World armies and independent cultivators hurried toward the Divine Prefecture, prepared to welcome a mighty battle.
The Great Emperors’ decisions would determine the victory or defeat of this battle. However, back then, the six emperors had checked and balanced each other, and battles erupted among the cultivators below the Great Emperor Plane and swept in all directions.
It was different now. The times were different. As the ancient emperors returned gradually and more Great Emperors and Emperors-To-Bes were created, the modern cultivators were already too strong to be compared to the past.
Even so, how could the cultivators of the Devil World miss this chance? The emperor-level forces determined the battles in the upper level, while they would invade the entire Divine Prefecture. They would scatter the seeds of the Devil World in the land of the Divine Prefecture instead of just the barren soil.
In addition, strong cultivators of the Human Realm, Empty Divine Realm, and Dark World all gradually came to the bordering regions of the Divine Prefecture. They also had mighty armies. This was a war of aggression. They all believed that after this battle, the Divine Prefecture would no longer be the Divine Prefecture. It would belong to all of them.
Even though the Human Ancestor had already agreed to hand the Divine Prefecture over to Ye Futian, that would come later. Before that, they would devour up the entire Divine Prefecture.
Ye Futian also led a large army and left the Ye Imperial Palace. After considering things, he did not bring everyone with him. This great battle was to invade the Divine Prefecture, but it was not as simple as imagined. What kind of existence was Donghuang the Great? If he targeted Ye Futian, it would also be extremely dangerous.
Thus, he believed that maybe staying in the Ye Imperial Palace would actually be safer. A few Great Emperors were guarding the Ye Imperial Palace. Even if Donghuang the Great ordered Great Emperors to attack them, they should handle it.
As for whether the Human Ancestor intended to monitor him, he did not care. Since he was already joining the war, he would naturally go full out when it pertained to his life or death.
This battle had been caused by the trend. He had no choice.
At this time, they were below a passageway in the Gods’ Ruins Continent. It was a passageway that led to the Divine Prefecture. Once they stepped over it, they would enter the land of the Divine Prefecture.
Ye Futian took out a mirror. A few figures instantly appeared in the reflection—the strong figures who stood at the peak.
The Human Ancestor, Devil Emperor, Evil Emperor, and Dark Sovereign. Including him, there were five people in total.
This mirror was a supreme divine item and contained immense spatial Divine Power. It could contact others at any time and use Divine Power to track locations. They were not acting together this time. If Donghuang the Great attacked one party, the others could use this treasure to cross through the void and appear, preventing any accidents.
“Let’s set out,” the Human Ancestor said in the mirror, giving the order. “After taking down the Domain Chief’s Manors of the 18 domains, leave people there to guard them. Then head to the Donghuang Imperial Palace to convene.” The others all nodded.
Ye Futian put the mirror away. Raising his head, he glanced at the space passageway and took a deep breath. How would this battle turn out?
No one knew.
Perhaps, this would completely change the world order.
“Set out!” Ye Futian said. After speaking, the group of figures advanced, passing directly through that space passageway, entering the Divine Prefecture.
…
The great armies of the five large camps invaded with one command.
Simultaneously, the mighty armies of the realms flooded into the Divine Prefecture. Black clouds covered the sky instantly in some places of the Divine Prefecture. It was like doomsday.
Of course, the Divine Prefecture was too vast and had countless continents. Even though the armies of all the realms passed the borders, it was still insignificant to the Divine Prefecture overall. Thus, their first goal was to take down the Domain Chief’s Manors of the 18 domains.
At this time within the Divine Prefecture’s Donghuang Imperial Palace.
Powerful and mighty strong cultivators appeared in an extremely vast area. Donghuang the Great sat on the Nine Heaven’s divine throne. Below the divine throne, the top figures of the Divine Prefecture stood in all directions with distinct levels.
In the air before them, the Sky Screens were like various mirrors, showing the scenes of different places in the Divine Prefecture. The mirrors even seemed able to move.
They saw the five armies scatter quickly after entering. The armies led by Great Emperors went clearly toward one direction, while the other armies had no goal. They dove straight into the Divine Prefecture. Many cultivators even scattered quickly, going in different directions.
Right then, brilliant Buddhist light appeared. The Nine Heavens seemed to be filled with Sanskrit chants. Extremely sacred Buddhist light enveloped the vast sky as if auspicious clouds had appeared.
Donghuang the Great looked before him and then rose from the divine throne. “Donghuang greets the Buddhas,” he said.
After he spoke, a Buddhist door abruptly appeared amidst the Buddhist light. A mighty Buddhist army walked out of the Buddhist door. Thousands upon thousands of Buddhas gradually stepped out of it. It was incredibly stunning. After that, a sacred Great Buddha’s true form materialized. Buddhist light enveloped the boundless sky. The Buddha had come personally.
“Greetings to The Buddha.” Donghuang the Great personally bowed in greeting, showing utmost respect. He had once studied in the Buddhist sect, so the Buddha had the grace of teaching him. He was like a teacher to him, so Donghuang the Great had always been very polite to the Buddhist sect.
“The Buddha.” Even the Great Emperors bowed, so strong cultivators in all directions of the Donghuang Imperial Palace all rose at once and bowed to show their respect.
The Buddha nodded slightly. All the Buddhas chanted at the same time.
After that, the Buddha looked toward the Sky Curtain and saw those scenes. Battles had erupted in many places already. Some cultivators of the Divine Prefecture had gotten into conflicts with the invaders spread through the Divine Prefecture.
However, how could the scattered Divine Prefecture cultivators match the invaders? Those invading armies were all powerful.
“Amitabha,” The Buddha said, putting his hands together. “This war has still erupted in the end. Chaos has come. I hope it will not spread to the masses of the Lower Worlds.”
There was kindness in his voice. The battle of the top figures would not affect the cultivators of the Lower Worlds, but this kind of battle often affected the entire world.
“I will try my best to minimize the effect of the war,” Donghuang the Great said.
“Virtuous!” The Buddha nodded. “I did not think that 500 years would pass so quickly, with the snap of a finger. Donghuang, are you ready?”
“Yes.” Donghuang the Great nodded. “What shall come will come. 500 years is not short.”
The top figures of the Divine Prefecture’s Donghuang Imperial Palace looked toward the two. Even they could not understand the conversation between the Buddha and Donghuang the Great.
The relationship between the Buddha and Donghuang the Great seemed to be even better than they had imagined!
