Chapter 2462: Tian Ting Battle Flag

Boom! Rumble!

Wherever Ye Chen went in a star domain, the earth-shattering sounds followed him relentlessly. His formidable pressure caused countless star domains to collapse and innumerable stars to explode.

"Stop him."

Jin Qu Tian Wang roared hoarsely, gripping a battle spear like a divine ray, chasing relentlessly without pause.

Stop him? That was easier said than done—they had to catch up first.

The various Zhun Di from the heavens looked grim, each burning their essence and flaring like balls of fierce flames that lit up the starry sky. They exerted their utmost speed, but Ye Chen was truly a master of great divine abilities. His steps were profoundly mysterious, nearly covering a star domain with each one, leaving them far behind and unable to catch even a glimpse.

"Stop him," Tian Xu Tian Wang roared again.

This roar was not directed at the Zhun Di of the heavens; it was transmitted through a secret method to the five major Jin Qu. They had emerged, but guardians still remained in the Jin Qu.

Immediately, the five major Jin Qu trembled together, shaking the heavens and earth.

Gazing down from the vast sky, one could see ancient stone coffins in the Jin Qu exploding one after another, with many ancient figures stepping out from within. They appeared somewhat sluggish, their eyes slightly vacant, perhaps due to being sealed for too long, unaware of how many epochs had passed, and needing time to regain clarity.

"Assemble the troops and form the formations."

A mighty voice echoed throughout the five major Jin Qu.

It came from a middle-aged man clad in ancient armor, wielding a golden great halberd, standing in the sky above Tian Xu. His hair, like a waterfall, was dusted with the grime of ages, and his gaze was as sharp as torches, embodying the essence of the Dao. His sturdy back was like an eternal monument, suppressing the end of time.

At his command, shadows stirred in the Jin Qu as countless divine lights shot into the sky, forming ranks in the void. Each position was occupied by a person, truly like a black curtain shrouding the Jin Qu's light.

Within the Jin Qu, a vast crowd surged like a dark tide, with soldiers arrayed like a black carpet. Every mountain peak was lined with figures, each clad in ancient armor.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Ji Dao Di Qi hummed as they rose into the sky one by one.

The grand heavenly sounds of the Dao resounded, the Ji Dao Di Wei revived, and the emperor's Dao laws descended, radiating brilliant emperor light like dazzling suns that illuminated the darkened world.

In addition, a massive battle flag was planted at the highest peak of the Jin Qu.

The battle flag fluttered fiercely, its inscribed characters "Tian Ting" strikingly conspicuous.

How many years had it been? This was the first time the five major Jin Qu had raised the ancient Tian Ting's banner, the first time awakening the ancient Tian Ting's warriors to face the impending catastrophe.

The current Ye Chen was more terrifying than even the Tian Mo.

This was the evaluation of the five Jin Qu Tian Wang regarding this peerless demonic god. How many times had the Tian Mo invaded without such a grand mobilization from the Jin Qu? Yet this time, they had tapped into the depths of Tian Ting's heritage.

Boom! Rumble!

In the pitch-black night, Dong Huang, Nan Yu, Xi Mo, Bei Yue, and Zhong Zhou were all in turmoil—or rather, the five major Jin Qu were. The Tian Ting warriors were too numerous, their momentum merging into one, not only ancient and vast but also magnificently imposing, stirring the very fabric of heaven and earth.

"What are the Jin Qu up to?"

Many people rushed over, both elders and juniors, having heard the commotion. They stood on distant mountain peaks, gazing far into the distance. Upon seeing the array of the five major Jin Qu, they were so startled they nearly fell over.

One glance was enough to shock them.

The heritage of the Jin Qu was terrifyingly strong. Those orderly formations of cultivators—how many Zhun Di were there? And those Ji Dao Di Qi, their numbers absolutely crushed those of the heavens.

"Tian Ting? The ancient Tian Ting?"

More people noticed that towering battle flag and the "Tian Ting" characters inscribed on it.

"Clearly, it's not the Da Chu Tian Ting."

The old veterans gathered, whispering among themselves, their aged eyes filled with profound meaning. Upon hearing of the ancient Tian Ting, they were unaware that the five major Jin Qu actually belonged to it. How many secrets were hidden within! Unfortunately, they had no right to know.

"Such a grand array—has a great enemy invaded?"

No one could answer this question. Up to this point, they still didn't know what had happened or that a peerless demonic god was charging from the stars toward the Jin Qu.

Boom!

A vast stretch of starry space was stomped into collapse by Ye Chen's foot.

He was truly fearsome, a peerless demonic god striding through rolling seas of demonic blood and slaughter, his demonic might overwhelming and overturning the universe, crushing yin and yang to pieces. Wherever he went, lightning flashed and thunder roared, his pair of violent and bloodthirsty demonic eyes etched with destructive visions.

Zing! Zing!

The Zhu Xian Jian in his hand buzzed, as if excited or thrilled.

How many years had it been? Alone and weak, it had never dared to lightly provoke the five major Jin Qu. Today, it finally possessed that power. With no supreme beings in the heavens, it could wreak havoc at will.

Kill! Kill!

Its buzzing grew more intense, and from Ye Chen's mouth came low roars, his eyes even more blood-red, his aura increasingly wild, as if intent on slaughtering all living beings to add color to the demonic slaughter.

This was not his true intent, but the will of the Zhu Xian Jian.

This peerless demonic god was currently being driven by the Zhu Xian Jian, aiming to create a great catastrophe.

"What is that?"

Passing cultivators saw it, and before they could get close, they were forced to their knees by the pressure, their faces pale, their souls trembling uncontrollably, as if they had beheld an supreme emperor.

Ye Chen gave a faint smile, ignoring the insignificant mortals, and stepped forward.

Thud!

His disregard carried a devastating pressure, grinding countless living beings to dust in an instant. Not just the juniors—even Zhun Di-level cultivators were instantly destroyed in body and spirit.

"Stop him."

From the distance came the hoarse roar of the Jin Qu Tian Wang.

Already, many at the Zhun Di level had opened emperor Dao domain gates. Chasing him directly was impossible; to match Ye Chen's speed, they needed the emperor Dao domain gates to have any chance of catching up.

"The world is in chaos, total chaos."

Further back were the onlookers, cultivators who had come from the Zang Shen Gu Di side. Even the peak Zhun Di couldn't catch up, let alone them, so they entered the domain gates in droves.

Ren Wang stood with hands clasped, silent amid the crowd.

His presence drew many gazes. Upon closer look, it was unexpectedly the remnant soul of the Ren Huang, the famous know-it-all of the myriad heavens and domains, also infamous for being utterly useless in battle.

"You're also a peak Zhun Di—why aren't you joining in?" Xiao Yuan Huang poked Ren Wang.

"I can't win." Ren Wang's reply was straightforward.

Xiao Yuan Huang took a deep breath, and Kui Niu looked on meaningfully. All the cultivators present nodded solemnly. There was no flaw in Ren Wang's words—he truly couldn't win.

In the domain gate passage, no one spoke, all shrouded in gloom. Though separated by a barrier, they could still hear the rumbling and smell the demonic slaughter, feeling a tremble from their very souls.

At some point, Ren Wang made a move, taking away Ji Ning Shuang.

This bookish fool was now utterly stunned, no different from a puppet.

Only after taking her did Ren Wang raise his hand to pinch his fingers, not just putting on airs but truly divining. He didn't know how many would die, but he knew this catastrophe would be a great opportunity for Ye Chen. If he could survive it, it would lead to a grand rebirth.

"It's not quite enough, still not quite enough."

No one else spoke; only he muttered to himself, causing those around him to raise their eyebrows.

The world was unaware, but Ming Di and Dao Zu understood.

What he meant by "not quite enough" referred to the Mo Tian Di curse.

Even now, the Tian Di curse had not fully manifested. To be precise, the Zhu Xian Jian had held back. It was the one with truly heaven-defying means, not only able to drive Ye Chen but also manipulate the Mo Tian Di curse. If things went wrong, it would make the emperor curse vanish without a trace. Even if Ye Chen were suppressed, no one could erase the Tian Di curse.

As long as the Mo Tian Di curse remained, the Zhu Xian Jian could use its power to cause more chaos.

In simpler terms, that curse had become the Zhu Xian Jian's trump card.

Therefore, Ren Wang was waiting, and so were Ming Di and Dao Zu. They waited for the Mo Tian Di curse to fully manifest, for only by completely erasing that damned curse could they resolve this catastrophe.
