Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At the border between the Great Thousand World and the Demon’s Domain, the ground was destroyed and the sky was dark. Even the space seemed somewhat unstable. Now and then, cracks would form in the space, then spread throughout the area.
For the past six months, the border had become the battlefield of the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race. Many top powers from both parties had fought and died here, which had caused the ground to turn red with their blood. It was a tragic scene.
The most important battle of the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race took place in this continent, the Spirit Demon Continent. There were several chasms in the Spirit Demon Continent, and they looked like the devil’s mouth. Streams surged in these chasms, hitting on the rocks and blasting out ear-piercing sounds.
One side of the Spirit Demon Continent was the Demon’s Domain, while the other side was the Great Thousand World. The Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race had been fighting constantly on the Spirit Demon Continent for the past six months.
However, on this day, the Spirit Demon Continent was unusually quiet. No one could expect that after this season of tranquility, a destructive windstorm that would determine the destiny of the people in the Great Thousand World would erupt.
If the Great Thousand World was able to withstand this windstorm, they could enjoy peace from then on. However, if they were unable to do so, many of them would either become slaves or be killed. If this happened, life would be a living hell for them.
At that instant, several top powers secretly used their spiritual energies and turned it into Spiritual Mirrors. Then, the scene that was happening in the Spirit Demon Continent was displayed on every corner of the Great Thousand World through these Spiritual Mirrors.
On this day, the people throughout all of the continents of the Great Thousand World lifted up their heads to look into the sky. There, Spiritual Light formed, then turned into a huge Spiritual Energy Light Mirror.
This occurred in every continent, and all of the people could clearly see the scene at the Spirit Demon Continent from the Spiritual Energy Light Mirror. It was such a majestic sight that all of the stopped whatever they were doing and looked at the huge Spiritual Energy Light Mirror.
They were filled with fear and started to pray hard. They prayed specifically that the Great Thousand World would win the battle.
Through the Spiritual Energy Light Mirror, the people could see that on the eastern side of the Spirit Demon Continent, Spiritual Light was surging and filling up the entire area. Several figures were spreading out to as far as the eye could see, and many shadows were still rushing over from afar. Apparently, most of the top powers in the Great Thousand World had gathered in the Spirit Demon Continent this day.
On the western side of the Spirit Demon Continent, the Demonic Energy raged, while thick Demon Clouds covered the entire area. Also, many pairs of savage eyes could be seen, glaring down at the people from within the Demon Clouds. They were like the ghostly figures that had come out of the netherworld, desiring to destroy everything in their path.
As the spiritual energy surged over the eastern area of the Spirit Demon Continent, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor stood with their hands behind their backs on the highest peak of the continent. Many top powers of the Great Thousand World were standing behind them. When they looked at the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, they felt more confident and secure.
For the past few years, the Extraterritorial Race had been unable to invade the Great Thousand World because the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were guarding it. The two of them had clearly done their parts and served the people well as the leaders of the Great Thousand World.
As the four Queens, Qin Tian, the Undying Lord, the Green Shirt Sword Saint, the Clan Leaders of the five main ancient clans, the First Elders and the other top powers of the Great Thousand World stood behind the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, they all looked grim. They were looking at the Demon’s Domain in the distance, and their hearts were filled with anxiety. Apparently, the Heavenly Evil Deity, which had not yet appeared, caused them to feel fearful and quite uneasy.
On the other hand, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked quite calm. Their gazes were intensely focused, and it seemed as if they were both looking deep into the space before them.
“I am not allowed to have more time. If I was given another 30 years, I would be able to leave my full name on the Heaven’s Declaration. By then, no matter what means the Heavenly Evil Deity used, I would be able to suppress him,” Martial Ancestor said with regret as he looked at the space and sighed.
When the Flame Emperor heard what Martial Ancestor had said, he nodded in agreement. He shared the same thoughts as him. He also needed another 30 years in order to leave his full name on the Heaven’s Declaration.
If they were able to accomplish this, they would not have to fear the Heavenly Evil Deity. However, the Heavenly Evil Deity must have known what they were thinking, so he surely would not give them an opportunity to turn the tables against him!
As the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor thought of this, they felt sad. It was not that they were fearful of the Heavenly Evil Deity, but it was knowing that they were only one step away from being able to place their full names on the Heaven’s Declaration! It was frustrating and disappointing!
As the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were conversing with each other, something caught their attentions. They lifted up their heads and looked toward the western area, where the vast Demonic Energy was surging.
At that moment, Qin Tian, the Green Shirt Sword Saint, the Real Dragon Emperor and several top powers in the Great Thousand World sensed an overbearing Demonic Power that made them feel as if they would soon suffocate. The Demonic Power slowly came down from the heavens and engulfed the entire world. Under the Demonic Power’s oppression, even Qin Tian and the rest of the masters, who were all at the later stage Divine Heavenly Sovereign level felt fearful.
The army from the Great Thousand World that was behind Qin Tian and the rest of the Divine Heavenly Sovereigns became speechless, and every one of its soldiers had a fearful look on his face.
“Welcome, our deity!” Amid the ranks of the Extraterritorial Race’s army, there was a loud cry of joy. All of the top powers from the Extraterritorial Race knelt down and yelled in unison, making for quite a majestic scene!
As the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor and the other top powers from the Extraterritorial Race knelt down on one knee, they looked at the Great Thousand World, killing intent filling their eyes. They knew that once the Heavenly Evil Deity arrived, the power of both parties would no longer be equal. At that time, they would be far more powerful than the Great Thousand World!
While the Extraterritorial Race was shouting out with joy, the Demon Clouds surged and started to dissipate. Then, a man in a white shirt stepped forth from a Demon Cloud and strolled forward. He then appeared in front of the Extraterritorial Race’s army.
The man in a white shirt was handsome, and as he smiled at them warmly, a light glittered around him. There was no insidious aura about him like that of the Extraterritorial Race. On the contrary, he looked extremely benevolent.
However, the three eyes that were on his glabella made him look strange. These different qualities that he possessed made him look very mysterious. He was the Heavenly Evil Deity!
As the Heavenly Evil Deity waved his hand, the loud shouts of joy immediately halted and the crowd became silent. He smiled and looked at the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor as he said casually, “We finally meet again after five long years.”
His voice was not loud, but when he spoke, the Spirit Demon Continent quaked and the space in front of him collapsed as the intense soundwaves came out of him. As they gazed at him, the Flame Emperor’s and Martial Ancestor’s eyes looked cold. They did not say a word, but simply stared at the Heavenly Evil Deity.
“The two of you are indeed amazing. If I did not have such a good foundation, I would be no match for you. If you agree to let me plant the Demonic God Seal in you, I will give the people in the Great Thousand World a chance to live,” the Heavenly Evil Deity said in a deep voice as he looked at the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor.
“I do not trust my enemies when they are being too merciful,” the Flame Emperor said with suspicion. “Moreover, we do not know which party will win!”
When the Heavenly Evil Deity heard what the Flame Emperor had said, he smiled and replied, “In these past five years, the two of you have indeed become more powerful. However, I have told you before that when I am back to my top form and have my nine eyes, I will be invincible!”
The moment the Heavenly Evil Deity finished his statement, he took one step forward, causing a mighty Demonic Power to suddenly burst out, sending a humongous Demonic Energy Light Beam shooting up into the sky. The light beam then devoured all of the light in the entire area, causing the area to descend into total darkness.
Amid the darkness, the mighty Demonic Power was like a destructive python that twirled toward the top powers of the Great Thousand World. It was so menacing, it caused them all to be filled with fear.
When the darkness fell upon the top powers of the Great Thousand World, they screamed in terror. Such darkness could invade one’s mind and inflict fear in even the bravest hearts.
Even the Heavenly Sovereigns started to tremble. They found it hard to control themselves at that moment, and they knew that if the situation persisted, they would lose their sanity entirely!
Crackle!
Just as the situation had reached the level of pure chaos, a huge flame suddenly started to burn. It then turned into a Flame Lotus, which slowly rotated to release light and drive away the darkness. The Flame Emperor was standing on the Flame Lotus, his long hair flowing down his shoulders. At the moment, he had a cold look on his face.
Boom!
At the same time, eight ancient Ancestral Amulets gathered to form halos. They then released large waves of light to drive away the darkness.
The Flame Lotus and the Ancestral Amulet Halos occupied one side of the area and fended off the darkness by continuously exuding light. However, as the darkness occupied a big part of the area, it continued to devour the light.
The two parties continued to attack each other, causing the entire area to constantly go back and forth between being light and bright one minute, then dim the next. When they saw the scene, many top powers in the Great Thousand World trembled and continued to pray hard. They knew that the Flame Lotus and the Ancestral Amulet Halos were the Great Thousand World’s last hopes.
“I told you before that the two of you can’t stop me!” the Heavenly Evil Deity said flatly as he looked at the scene. He then waved his sleeve, causing the darkness to surge.
As it continued to spread throughout the area, the darkness gradually devoured all of the light that the Flame Lotus and the Ancestral Amulet Halos had brought forth. When the people of the Great Thousand World saw the light being devoured, fear filled their hearts.
However, just as they were feeling hopeless, they heard a strange sound, which was directly followed by the sounds of laughter from afar! The peals of laughter soon resounded throughout the entire Great Thousand World.
“Since two people are unable to stop you, how about making it three?” The instant that the voice was heard, several people turned their heads to look behind them.
They were so excited that they started to shiver when they saw what was there. A vast spiritual energy had gathered in the area, and the mysterious World’s Power had come down from the sky to gradually form an endless, mysterious screen!
Qin Tian, Qing Yanjing, the Green Shirt Sword Saint and all of the other top powers shouted excitedly in unison when they saw the mysterious screen…
“The Heaven’s Declaration!”
“It’s Mu Chen!”
“He is finally here! He has activated the Heaven’s Declaration!”
“He is going to leave his name on the Heaven’s Declaration!”
All of them looked at the slender figure as he was slowly appearing on the mountain below the mysterious screen. Then, a familiar face appeared, which confirmed their previous guesses… He was none other than Mu Chen!
As they all stared at him, Mu Chen lifted up his head to look at the Heaven’s Declaration, which had just appeared in front of him. He then bent two of his fingers and used them as a pen to slowly write on the Heaven’s Declaration.
At the same time, his loud voice resounded throughout the area, “This day, my name shall be written on the Heaven’s Declaration!”
