Countless battleships covered the skies.

 

These ancient battleships hovered in the universe, with countless cultivators shooting out from their respective ancient stars, gathered in the Starry Sky, ready to set off.

 

At the same time, Immortal Kings opened up massive portals through space so that these ancient battleships could pass through.

 

In the universes near the Boundless Battlefield, one could see wide space portals being opened up by massive hands.

 

Countless cultivators gushed out of these portals like a storm and streamed towards the edges of the Boundless Battlefield, already forming formations.

 

Gu Xianer followed behind an ancient battleship and headed to the Boundless Battlefield as well.

 

She was deeply concerned. This crisis was an extremely difficult obstacle for those of the Prosperous Dao True World to overcome. It would take them a long time to deal with it. This was not something that would end in a few years or a few decades.

 

Many would die during this period. She could not even ensure her safety. Moreover, no one knew what the outcome would be.

 

*Booms* could be heard as a gigantic hand appeared in the Great Universe in front of them. It could easily destroy the Stars and the Moons. The hand tore the void apart as the scorching Spiritual Energy moved. Spacetime over contorted and fell apart until a stable portal appeared.

 

An Immortal King had opened up a huge space portal for the ancient battleships to sail to the Boundless Battlefield.

 

The same thing was happening in different places. These Immortal Kings had received orders to open up space portals for the different armies of different Forces.

 

At the same time, some Immortal Kings had arrived at the Boundless Battlefield in advance to discuss how to deal with the enemies and build Arrays.

 

This place was dim as horrifying black clouds covered the entire space. Horror, war, and bloodbath were some of the words one would think of when they saw this place.

 

Even the soil was dark as it was dyed with dried blood. Countless skeletons and broken weapons could also be seen, partially buried underground.

 

In the past, this used to be the battlefield where the Great War Against Heaven happened. It started from the Boundless Expanse and extended to this place. With, no living being able to survive in such a place.

 

Gu Xianer arrived at the Boundless Battlefield along with the army. She hovered in the sky and looked down at everything.

 

“I wonder how long this crisis will last. Where are you, Gu Changge? Are you still in this True World?” She muttered under her breath.

 

Armies moved around the battlefield like snakes in the universe. They soon arrived at the edge.

 

Ferocious sounds could be heard coming from outside the Boundless Expanse. All the worlds were trembling and clashing. Suns and Moons were spinning around. All could feel their Souls being shaken to the core.

 

Many soldiers had arrived at this place. There were True Immortals and Immortal Kings. Nevertheless, most of them were below the True Immortal Realm. They were nothing more than cannon fodder, which was used to go against the enemies at the front.

 

Many Immortal Kings and Ancestors were leading the armies to guard different places as per their orders, waiting for the enemies to come.

 

Every living being in the Prosperous Dao True World could feel the gloomy atmosphere before the war.

 

Even the ordinary cultivators could feel it, which was why they were fearful. They felt that a drastic change was about to happen.

 

Every day, they could see Blood Qi shooting into the sky from different places. The Blood Qi covered the stars, after which many figures moved further away.

 

…

 

Outside the Green Mountain Village, Su Qingge stood silently in the courtyard and looked up at the sky.

 

The changes in the world could even be felt in this remote village of Mortals. A gloomy atmosphere and aura had engulfed everyone.

 

“Daddy, is a calamity about to come? Is the world going to be destroyed?”

 

Su Qingge heard a child curiously asking his Father about it in the village.

 

She let out a sigh, feeling that even a child without any cultivation could not steer clear of the matter. It was impossible for the children to remain unaffected. This crisis was a truly difficult obstacle for those of the Prosperous Dao True World to surmount.

 

The imminent war caused the world change. The originally ample Fortuity was going through drastic changes as well.

 

Nevertheless, this was a good chance for the Fortuitous Ones to rise to prominence.

 

The seeds that Gu Changge had sowed, while he was at it, started sprouting as well.

 

…

 

In a Force with an inheritance that had been passed down for millions of years, a young man was gathering the Elders and the disciples in the Sect to discuss how they should deal with this calamity. They had to ensure that the inheritance of their Sect would continue to flourish.

 

There used to be True Immortals in their Sect in the past, but that was a long time ago.

 

Now, the strongest cultivators in their Sect were merely True Daoists.

 

True Daoists were like specks of dust in the face of this calamity. They did not even have the right to become cannon fodder. Nevertheless, this young man did not give up. He was confident when he spoke, believing that their Sect could survive this calamity.

 

He was the Eldest Senior Brother of this Sect. When he was practising martial arts on the mountain at a young age, he was hunted down by a tiger. While running away, he fell into a pond where he accidentally acquired an ancient bell that contained the Power of Creation.

 

The mysterious bell made him give up martial arts and become a cultivator instead. With the bell’s help, he gradually became as powerful as the Ancestors of the Sect.

 

“My bell contains the power of the Mountains and Rivers. As long as it absorbs sufficient substances, a real world can be formed inside. It’ll be as great as any ancient world. By then, I’ll be able to control the world inside the mysterious bell and it won’t be hard for me to protect our Sect.

 

“Many people will die during the war. Those broken weapons will be the best resources for me to increase my power in a short time. I can make it to the True Immortal Realm or even the Immortal King Realm.”

 

The young man was confident. After all, he had come across many opportunities along the way. Even when he fell into danger, he could always get out of the woods. He was a Fortuitous One.

 

In this environment, he had a greater chance to survive and could grow his power more quickly than other cultivators.

 

…

 

In a different territory, an expressionless woman in black clothes destroyed the disciples of the Sects who were recklessly doing horrible things because of the upcoming crisis.

 

Her black clothes were soaked in blood. The places she had been were full of broken limbs and corpses. Blood formed rivers, and the magnificent Sects turned into ruins.

 

“They had it coming.” The black-clothed woman was an emotionless and bloodthirsty person. She killed people every day. Sometimes, she would kill good people, and sometimes, she would kill bad people. It depended on her mood.

 

Many cultivators called her the Demoness in Black. She was an expert in murder. For every person she killed, she would become slightly stronger. She was getting stronger every second.

 

“This crisis is wonderful for my cultivation. When my Great Dao of Carnage takes shape, I’ll be able to kill Immortal Kings. The Heartless Creation Technique is indeed incredible. I’ve made it to the Seventh Layer. Ordinary True Immortals are not a match for me anymore. When I ascend to the Ninth Layer and master the Great Dao of Carnage, I’ll be able to kill Immortal Kings. What a truly splendid technique.” The black-clothed woman muttered in an emotionless voice.

 

In the past, she was a young woman who was oppressed by her Mother, maidservants, and servants. If she never acquired the Heartless Creation Technique, she would not have become who she was now.

 

After acquiring this incredible technique, she started with killing animals to condense her murderous intent. Then, she made a move against those maidservants and servants who oppressed her. Eventually, she killed the entire Family to get her revenge.

 

After that, everyone knew the existence of the Demoness in Black. She did not care whether the people she killed were good or bad as it all depended on her mood. She only did it to increase her power.

 

She speculated that the Heartless Creation Technique was created by the most powerful cultivator in the Prosperous Dao True World, the Demon Lord, in the past. The descriptions of the Demonic Dao and Carnage pointed right at the Heart of the Great Dao.

 

She felt that even if she reached the Ninth Layer and created the Tenth Layer, she still would not be as powerful as the Demon Lord.

 

That said, she believed in herself. Considering her opportunities, she would not be limited to the end of this technique.

 

This technique merely created a good start and helped build a solid foundation for her.

 

The Great Tribulation that the Prosperous Dao True World was about to face was a chance for her to tremendously increase her power.

 

Something similar was happening in a different place.

 

A Fortuitous One acquired something called the role-playing system. He had been collecting all sorts of information about the Demon Lord, trying to imitate the being who used to be the strongest cultivator in the Prosperous Dao True World. Although he knew he would not be remotely similar, he was still doing all he could to look for news and records about him.

 

There was also a Fortuitous One who acquired a Supreme Treasure that could summon Ancient Souls. He had founded his own Force in an attempt to deal with the upcoming crisis.

 

…

 

In the headquarters of the Heavenslayers Alliance, Dao Realm ancient cultivators like Gu Wuwang and Ming came together. Through a secret treasure, they were trying to work out the situation outside the Boundless Expanse and predict the time of the enemies’ arrival.

 

The invading shuttle was finally approaching from outside the Boundless Expanse. They could already see some of its vague contour.

 

All of a sudden, dazzling light doors appeared as countless soldiers emerged from the portals. They streamed towards the Prosperous Dao True World like a storm.

 

This unknown Force had finally arrived and launched the first round of attacks. Since there was no warning, their targets were caught off guard.

 

It was a wonder how many soldiers there were, but there were surely billions of them. They hurtled out of doors made up of light as their evil auras and murderous intent filled the entire area.

 

“The enemies have arrived! Tell everyone on the Boundless Battlefield to get prepared!” Those in the hall immediately gave out the order.

 

Meanwhile, outside the Boundless Battlefield, billions of bright runes emerged from the embankment. It was as though they had gathered all the energy from different worlds.

 

This embankment was usually dormant. It was a wonder who built it. Over the years, it had repeatedly fended off the impact of any energy coming from the Boundless Expanse.

 

Now, it seemed to have fully awakened. Immense energy turned into horrifying light beams which shot towards the soldiers of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation.

 

The cultivators and living beings who were stationed around the Boundless Battlefield were shocked to seeing that. They did not expect that this embankment to contain such immense energy, that it would awaken at the most critical moment.

 

“It’s a very mysterious barrier. No one knows who built it. Ancient runes have been engraved on it. Horrifying power can be activated to fend off the enemies.”

 

The Immortal Kings in the castle were thrilled. They did not know that there was such a natural embankment outside the Prosperous Dao True World.

 

Just one round of light beams was enough to destroy the soldiers of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation charging from the front.

 

Many people turned into dust and disappeared.

 

However, they were merely cultivators who were not afraid of death nurtured by the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. It did not matter that they were killed as they were cannon fodder.

 

More and more figures were coming from the light doors.

 

Meanwhile, on the shuttle, a figure that was surrounded by a dark mist suddenly appeared. He extended a hand covered in scales like those of a Dragon. He pushed out his palm, trying to destroy the light beams.

 

He was a being that transcended the Immortal King Realm. His powerful aura showed that he was above the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm.

 

According to the categorisation in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, he was a being who was close to his First Spiritual Transformation. Nevertheless, he was not a native of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. He was like an enslaved puppet, designed for war.

 

The attack caused thousands of runes, which were resonating with each other, to fall apart. It spilt in different directions like an ocean.

 

The attack of a being of this level could easily destroy Immortal Kings. The scene was terrifying. The soldiers of the Prosperous Dao True World felt their hearts turning cold.

 

There was no doubt it was a horrific power. The light beams coming from the embankment could not stop it.

 

*Boom!* Just then, the spacetime outside the Boundless Battlefield contorted as a vague figure stepped out of it. He was also surrounded by a dark mist. He extended his hand in an attempt to destroy the attack of the enemy.

 

“He’s an Immortal Emperor from the Other Domain!”

 

Many people on the Boundless Battlefield could not help but exclaim as they recognised the person. They could hardly conceal their excitement.

 

He was a true Immortal Emperor who was responsible for guarding this area. He immediately showed up and went against the enemy.

 

Although the Other Domain and the Immortal Domain used to be at war in the past, an Emperor from the Other Domain never hesitated to make a move in this situation to prevent the other party from advancing further.
