Chapter 3245

In the boundless universe, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Looking up at the sky, the seven pitch-black suns were no longer illusions; they had become infinitely solid, each manifesting an apocalyptic vision. Every ray of light was imbued with the colors of doomsday, and if even one were to fall, it could crush countless realms.

The mortal world was in utter chaos.

Countless spatial rifts tore open, swirling voids proliferated, and bolts of lightning streaked across the heavens. Dark clouds obscured the once clear skies, and deep within the shadows, the magnificent mountains and rivers were no longer visible. Flowers and grasses had withered, mighty rivers had dried up, and ancient stars teeming with life had decayed, their last essence drained away. Desolation, sorrow, despair, and gloom gradually enveloped the hearts of all beings.

"Ants, tremble!"

The eerie laughter of the Wai Yu Huang Di echoed like ancient thunder, shaking the eternal immortal dome. It resounded like funeral bells tolling for all living beings, reverberating endlessly across the myriad realms.

"The fortunes of the heavens shall endure forever."

The roars of the masses merged into an end-of-days dirge. From the peak quasi-Huang Di to ordinary mortal emperors, all gripped their weapons and donned ancient armor. They arrayed their forces in the starry skies, the heavens' war banners fluttering fiercely in the wind.

No one felt fear.

Even if the heavens sought to destroy the world, they would mount one final resistance.

"We will hold on until you return, even in death."

This was the unyielding belief of the myriad beings, a firm conviction that the revered Sheng Ti would defy the heavens and return in their hour of peril, turning the tide for this ravaged land. It was both will and obsession, indestructible for all eternity.

"Come down, get down here!"

Xiao Yuan Huang cursed loudly, wielding his iron staff and thrusting it toward the sky repeatedly, intent on impaling one of the seven pitch-black suns. The sight of them infuriated him to no end.

Alas, he could not succeed.

Not even he could do it, and even the Nü Di was powerless. Those were visions on par with the heavenly dao.

Boom!

Suddenly, a tremendous rumble echoed throughout the heavens.

It originated from Xuan Huang.

When the emperors looked, they saw a massive rift a million li long explode in the vast starry expanse. Surging demonic energy billowed forth, accompanied by howling darkness that seemed to emerge from hell itself, carrying vengeful spirits and slayers intent on massacring the living.

It was the army of the Tian Mo.

Indeed, the Wai Yu forces had launched their attack.

This time was different from before; there were no towering demonic pillars, only the rift serving as the passage.

The grand formations lingered in the void, and the heavens' barriers still stood.

However, the rift had appeared first, allowing only the Wai Yu demons to pass through, not the two Wai Yu Huang Di. As previously described, it was like a small hole in the rift—mice could squeeze through, but large wolves could not. The two Wai Yu Huang Di were like those heavy wolves.

Yet, they were unconcerned.

With doomsday approaching, letting the lesser minions charge ahead made for a fine spectacle. They could simply wait; once the Tian Mo Chong Qi Sha fully formed, everything would end.

"Kill!"

The Tian Mo laughed ferociously, surging forth in waves and assaulting the Xuan Huang continent like a vast black ocean, devouring everything in its path and blotting out the world's light.

"Come on."

Xiao Yuan Huang abandoned his assault on the suns and swung his iron staff, charging out first. The emperors guarding Xuan Huang, such as Kui Niu, Long Jie, Zhong Huang, and Xi Zun, moved in unison, followed by countless others—including cultivators from the heavens and junior great emperors.

Boom!

Before aid could arrive from elsewhere, a rift also blasted open in the You Ming direction.

"Kill!"

The invading force was the E Mo army, led by nine E Mo emperors, their demonic energy overwhelming.

"Battle!"

The supreme beings stationed there rushed forward to meet them.

Boom!

Next came Da Chu. The imposing Nan Chu city walls, stretching three million li east to west and standing for countless ages, suddenly collapsed with a thunderous crash, opening a three-hundred-li rift. Before the Wai Yu demons appeared, surging demonic energy rolled in, carrying the Sheng Mo army.

"Bullying Da Chu when we have no one?"

Kings, divine generals, Yan Luo, Jian Shen—countless emperors charged forward relentlessly. The wives of the Sheng Ti family fought as fiercely as men, battling the Sheng Mo all the way into the Tai Shang Tian.

And it did not end there.

More rifts exploded one after another, affecting Tian Jie, Ming Jie, Ling Yu, Huo Yu, and beyond. Rolling demonic mists swept in Wai Yu armies without number, like an all-covering black curtain obscuring vast swaths of beautiful landscapes.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

From a bird's-eye view, it was an ocean of human tides clashing, blood spraying in waves. Not only those below the emperor's path, but even supreme beings fell one by one.

Boom! Boom!

The Tai Gu Road and Tai Gu Hong Huang were not spared, with rifts shattering en masse. Tian Mo, E Mo, and Sheng Mo armies swarmed like a tidal wave, accompanied by countless Wai Yu emperors.

"Battle!"

The one hundred and thirty emperors of Xuan Huang mobilized together, blocking the Tai Gu Road.

Boom!

Shen Zun ascended in a single step, dragging away nine quasi-Huang Sheng Mo and fighting into the Tai Shang Tian. The ancient supreme beings of the Tian Ting also burned their lifespans, charging forth one after another, with even Meng Mo joining the fray in the heavens—all striving for that sliver of hope.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The primordial Sheng Mo howled maniacally, laughing with wild abandon, their ferocity unmatched.

The Nü Di said nothing, stepping into the void.

Though the Wai Yu Huang Di had not arrived, their Huang Di forms had, and there were two of them. Excluding those guarding the Tai Gu seal, all emperors had joined the battle, leaving no quasi-Huang complete except her. She went alone to bloody combat, facing the two Huang Di forms after self-inflicting a wound.

Eternal blood stained the void.

As expected, she would fall in battle, unable to withstand the two Huang Di forms.

Rumbling echoed across the universe.

Blood light enveloped the entire heavens, drenching the mortal world in crimson.

This was not the final battle, but it heralded its beginning.

Every continent, every stretch of starry sky, every ancient star was ablaze with war, stained red with fresh blood. The Wai Yu demon armies surged endlessly, while the heavens' cultivators pressed on relentlessly, leaving no inch of pure land. Soldiers faced soldiers, generals faced generals, shaking the heavens and earth.

The battlefield was overwhelmingly one-sided, with the heavens completely at a disadvantage.

The Wai Yu demons were too numerous, their supreme beings absolutely outnumbering those of the heavens. And this was before the Tian Mo Chong Qi Sha had fully formed, with three Huang Di yet to join.

Thus, the heavens needed a Huang Di to hold the line.

Without even one, how could they fight back? How could they wage this reverse battle against the heavens?

"What delightful blood aura."

The two Huang Di laughed eerily, their lips curling in amusement. The primordial Sheng Mo laughed with savage cruelty. They were mere spectators, delighting in the ants' struggles. The bloody scenes were a feast for their eyes, and the beings' wails were like an epic demonic symphony to them.

"The fortunes of the heavens shall endure forever."

Roars echoed throughout the heavens, with too many self-destructing, including supreme beings. The Wai Yu forces were overwhelming, the heavens' battles gruesome. Star domains fell one by one, stars exploded, and countless lives collapsed in pools of blood.

No one had time to glance back.

This was war—all were fighting tooth and nail, tears mingling with blood. Countless ancestors and descendants fell in droves under the Wai Yu iron hooves.

"Ye Chen."

The beings' roars were soul-shaking cries, all summoning that person's return. The commander of the heavens—behold this land! It has become hell.

Boom!

Before Ye Chen could return to the mortal world, the Tian Mo Chong Qi Sha arrived.

The apocalyptic vision had finally taken shape.

In that instant, doomsday light enveloped the world, and the cataclysm of destruction descended.

In that instant, the Tian Mo Huang Di's entire body erupted with demonic light.

As the bearer of the seven sha, he felt it most acutely—the power of destruction gathering.

"Ants, tremble!"

The Tian Mo Huang Di laughed ferociously, lifting his foot. With the heavens' barriers shattered, no one could block his path. One step would obliterate the realm.

Had they lost?

The beings' faces turned deathly pale, even the emperors losing their resolve.

It was a Huang Di, after all.

If he descended, who in the heavens could stand against him?

Buzz!

At that moment, a beam of eternal light flew in from beyond the universe.

Upon closer inspection, it was a war spear.

Yes, an eternal war spear, piercing through the void and nothingness, crossing endless time from the end of ages. It skewered straight from the first sun to the seventh, nailing the seven sha firmly in the void.

That sight was terrifying enough.

The Tian Mo Chong Qi Sha—actually strung up like kebabs on a single spear.

The apocalyptic vision had been struck down across time once before.

This time, it was even more humiliating, directly pierced by eternity. Thus, the destructive vision and its heavenly might were all nailed in place by that spear, and even the shattered heavens' barriers began to mend inch by inch.

Pfft!

The Tian Mo Huang Di spat blood, his forward step faltering halfway. As the bearer of the seven sha, with the seven sha pierced, so was he. The eternal spear struck a flaw into his once-flawless form.

"Bullying the heavens when we have no one?"

This furious shout was desolate and icy, resounding through the universe and obliterating endless demons. The tenth emperor of Da Chu had arrived—the commander of the heavens' myriad beings, absent no longer.
