The Campaign!

Even Chen Changqing, who valued his life the most, drew his sword, and the passion in Mo Wendao and the others was completely ignited.

"I will obey the supreme decree!"

"Heaven-Slaying! Attack the Divine Dynasty!"

Rumble!

Two thousand seven hundred crimson dragon boats simultaneously unleashed their rune engines, and a vast expanse of spiritual light tore through the atmosphere of the Cangwu Realm.

The enormous steel shadow blotted out the sun and sky, carrying a chilling aura of killing intent, transforming into a steel torrent that swept across the Star Sea and rushed straight into the outer Void.

The Great Thousand World, the Immortal Feather Divine Dynasty.

The Ziwei Emperor Star, the Central Taiji Imperial Palace.

The entire temple was cast from ten thousand years of purple gold, with nine ten-thousand-foot-long imperial golden dragons coiling around the pillars, exhaling an intensely dense aura of immortal energy.

However, today, the atmosphere inside the main hall was oppressively suffocating.

On the Nine Dragons Imperial Throne, the Xianyu Imperial Lord, his face covered by a black gold crown, exuded a terrifying imperial aura of Dao Integration Great Perfection.

Below the steps, a bronze mace broken into three pieces and a completely shattered Life Token lay quietly on the gold bricks.

That was a relic of the Heaven-Suppressing King, the head of the Four Heavenly Kings who protect the country.

"Eight hundred thousand Demon-Slaying Army, three thousand Crimson Blood Dragon Boats, along with the Heaven-Suppressing King..."

The Imperial Lord's voice was not loud, but it carried a chilling intensity.

Not even a single Divine Thought of distress has returned.

"Tell me, what kind of monsters has been raised in that lowly, despicable realm?"

On both sides of the hall, dozens of high-ranking officials of the dynasty, dressed in crimson and purple robes, were silent and trembling, bowing their heads and not daring to even breathe loudly.

The usually arrogant and powerful minister of the Immortal Dynasty was now pale-faced.

The Heaven-Suppressing King is a powerful figure in the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm, wielding a top-grade Dao Integration Artifact and being proficient in the Nine Heavens Ultimate Annihilation Grand Formation.

Such a force, more than capable of sweeping through a Middle Thousand World, was completely annihilated in just a few days?

"King of Heaven-Splitting, King of Sea-Calming."

The Imperial Lord's icy gaze fell upon the two towering figures at the forefront.

Those were the only two Heavenly Kings remaining in the Immortal Dynasty, both of whom were late-stage Dao Integration elders who had lived for over seven thousand years.

The King of Heaven-Splitting was a burly man who carried two Heaven-Opening Great Axe.

The King of Sea-Calming had white hair like frost, and the sound of the surging waves of the blue sea could be heard around him.

"Your subject is present."

The two men reluctantly stepped forward and bowed.

"The Heaven-Suppressing King has fallen, and the Divine Dynasty has lost all face." The Imperial Lord's fingertips tapped the armrest of his dragon throne, producing a crisp metallic clang. "I command you all to immediately depart from the Imperial Capital Thirty-Six Camps Guards, carrying the Son of Heaven Sword Seal, and raze the Cangwu Realm to the ground."

"I decree that world will be barren, and billions of lives will be extracted and burned as sky lanterns."

Upon hearing this, the temperature inside the hall plummeted.

However, the expected swift and decisive implementation of the decree did not materialize.

King of Heaven-Splitting's eyelids twitched violently, and he cursed inwardly.

How did the Heaven-Suppressing King die?

No remains of the body, not even the Divine Soul remains!

An existence capable of devouring the Heaven-Suppressing King and his 800,000-strong army in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn is undoubtedly an old monster who has surpassed the threshold of the Dao Integration Realm, or even a powerful being from some Great Thousand World who descended to the mortal realm through a borrowed Lower Realm.

Such a dangerous place, anyone who goes there will die.

"His Majesty..."

King of Heaven-Splitting took a deep breath, his face contorting with incredibly realistic pain and pallor.

"It is not that this old minister is shirking responsibility, but rather... half a month ago, I forcibly attempted to break through the Great Ascension Heavenly Barrier, damaging the essence of my Niwan Palace, and my Dao Fruit remains unstable to this day."

He coughed twice, his breathing even deliberately becoming disordered by half an inch.

"If we force a campaign now, and our Divine Soul become disordered, we risk failing the Emperor's grace and disgracing the nation!"

The Imperial Lord's eyes narrowed instantly.

He turned to look at the other side. "King of Sea-Calming, what about you?"

The King of Sea-Calming lowered his eyes to his nose, his nose focused on his heart, and even knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"This old minister is advanced in years, and lately I have often felt the signs of the Heavenly Five Declines, and my physical body Qi and Blood are deteriorating beyond repair."

"My esteemed brother, the Heaven-Suppressing King, has died tragically. This old minister is overwhelmed with grief, Dao Heart is nearly shattered. If we are to discuss military strategy, I would like to recommend the Minister of War and the Twelve Divine Generals to lead the troops..."

"Presumptuous!"

With a loud shout, the Imperial Lord slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly.

Nine golden dragons of the imperial road roared deafeningly, and the nine golden steps of the Imperial Palace cracked inch by inch under the raging imperial might.

"They routinely enjoy the offerings from the Ancestral Veins of the Divine Dynasty and consume the blood and marrow of countless realms, each of them comparing themselves to True Immortals!"

The Imperial Lord, enraged, laughed instead, pointing at the two men and shouting sternly.

"Now that you've lost one of the Heaven-Suppressing Kings, you two old dogs are scared out of your wits, daring to shirk your duty and refuse to fight?"

King of Heaven-Splitting and King of Sea-Calming knelt on the ground, letting spittle fly onto their faces, determined to play dead to the very end.

The longer you live, the more you cherish your life.

As long as they don't leave the country, and with the Twelfth-Rank Realm-Guarding Grand Formation of the Imperial Capital, no one can do anything to them. Why bother going down to the mortal Lower Realm to be buried with the Heaven-Suppressing King?

"By imperial decree, activate the Emperor's Blood Oath—"

A resolute and ferocious glint flashed in the Imperial Lord's eyes as he prepared to force the two to submit by Fortune.

When!

When!

When!

Suddenly, the Ziwei Sky-Patrolling Nine-Dragon Bell, which had been silent for ten thousand years, began to ring wildly on its own without being struck!

The bell tolled sharply and urgently, instantly shattering the peace of the Imperial Capital.

"What's going on?!" The Imperial Lord's expression changed drastically.

Boom!

The tightly closed vermilion gates of the Imperial Palace were forcibly smashed open by a tremendous force.

A celestial Sky-Patrolling Official, covered in blood and with his protective mirror shattered, collapsed in the center of the hall, screaming in agony.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty! The outer Star Gate has been breached!"

"Two thousand seven hundred Crimson Blood Dragon Boats smashed through the Void barrier and charged... charged into the Emperor Star Corridor!"

Inside the main hall, the King of Heaven-Splitting, who had been feigning illness and coughing, suddenly raised his head, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

The King of Sea-Calming trembled and collapsed to the ground.

Crimson Blood Dragon Boat?

Isn't that a standard warship of the Divine Dynasty's Demon-Slaying Army?

"How many people did they bring?" The Imperial Lord stepped down from the high platform and demanded sharply, "Have other dynasties intervened?"

"No... no external enemies!"

The Sky-Patrolling Official coughed up a mouthful of foul blood, his expression dazed as if he had seen a demon.

"It's the Cangwu Realm... the Southern Nation cultivators who are using the Setting Sun Mountain banner! They've turned the tables!"

Boom!

Before the words were even finished, the entire Ziwei Emperor Star trembled violently.

Above the dome of the Imperial Palace, the Nine Heavens Ziwei Grand Formation, which had shrouded the Immortal Feather Divine Dynasty millions of years and was strong enough to withstand Great Vehicle blow from a Mahayana cultivator, suddenly collapsed, revealing a pitch-black crack that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

The clouds in the sky were crushed by an overwhelming and brute force.

Under the horrified gazes of the entire court and the two Dao Integration Heavenly Kings, a thousand-foot-tall phantom of a cloth shoe, shrouded in the Chaos Creation and Destruction Qi, descended fiercely from the depths of the starry sky, shattering the first protective barrier of the Imperial Capital!

The voice, youthful yet as cold as the heavens, pierced through the fierce winds and roared.

"You old dogs of the Divine Dynasty, come out and greet our guests!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately turned ugly.

The people from the Southern Nation... they actually attacked!

You must understand, that was just a small Cultivation Kingdom, while they were a legitimate Cultivation Dynasty!

If this were to get out, it would be an utter disgrace!

Under these circumstances, even though the two kings had been so wary before, their hearts were now filled with rage.
