Counterattack Begins

Silence enveloped the abyss.

For the past tens of thousands of years, apart from the terrifying screams that would rang out when countless Heavenly Sovereign Great Thousand Alliance used their Spiritual Power to kill the Heavenly Evil God, there has been virtually no sound here.

But this silence was different; it was like the calm before a storm, ready to erupt at any moment.

Separated by a layer of seal, the Immortal Great Emperor and the Heavenly Evil God's gazes met.

"In the end, you lost!" A sigh of relief came from the Immortal Great Emperor, while the silent Heavenly Evil God was left with mixed feelings.

The Heavenly Evil God was deliberately sealed by the Immortal Great Emperor in order to adapt to the Great Thousand World. The ensuing struggle revolved around the seal.

If the Great Thousand World can hold on for 49,000 years and conduct 49 Great Thousand Alliance, the Heavenly Evil God will be completely annihilated. If the Outer Realm Evil Clan breaks the seal, the Heavenly Evil God will destroy the Great Thousand World.

Now the Immortal Great Emperor has actually been resurrected. Although he is not in the right state and his strength is insufficient, the Outer Realm Evil Clan no longer has any possibility of breaking the seal.

The Great Thousand Alliance has been established forty-eight times, and there are only a few hundred years left until the final one. After the Immortal Great Emperor has been in hibernation for several hundred years, he will be able to witness the Heavenly Evil God embarking on his journey.

With most of his obsessions resolved, the aura of the Immortal Great Emperor gradually subsided, and in the end, he simply isolated the altar from the abyss, creating an independent space.

After doing all this, the Immortal Great Emperor looked at Xiao Yan with admiration for the younger generation.

The Immortal Great Emperor smiled, clearly in a good mood, and nodded to Xiao Yan, saying:

"Although I don't know how you did it, I have regained some vitality. I may not be able to completely kill the Heavenly Evil God, but I can still keep the seal."

"Once the Heavenly Evil God dies, the Outer Realm Evil Clan will no longer have the confidence to continue invading the Great Thousand World. After they retreat, the Great Thousand World can return to peace."

"Great Emperor, where do you think the Outer Realm Evil Clan came from?" Xiao Yan asked.

The Immortal Great Emperor frowned slightly. Although the Outer Realm Evil Clan came from outside the Great Thousand World and had a completely different cultivation system, no one knew where they came from.

"I think they are at least a race from a plane that is no weaker than the Great Thousand World, which means that there are other planes outside the Great Thousand World," Xiao Yan continued.

"..." The joy of being able to send away the Heavenly Evil God was instantly dispelled. The Immortal Great Emperor did not believe that there were no other planes besides the Great Thousand World and the planes of the Outer Realm Evil Clan.

So here's the question: in those planes, are there also races that invade everywhere, just like the Outer Realm Evil Clan?

Could there even be a super race that has already spanned several planes?

The Immortal Great Emperor sighed and gently touched his brow, saying, "It's really hard to accept."

"But we must prepare for the worst," Xiao Yan said.

"So, you already have a plan? And it's related to the Outer Realm Evil Clan?" The Immortal Great Emperor revealed an expression of great interest.

"Everyone has always avoided that Demonic Qi, but in reality, with the power of the Sky Ranking, it is possible to refine the Demonic Qi and transform it into Spiritual Power," Xiao Yan revealed his ambition.

"You want to devour the Outer Realm Evil Clan!"

"The Outer Realm Evil Clan wants to devour the Great Thousand World and refine the Sky Ranking. Why can't we devour the Outer Realm Evil Clan?"

The Immortal Great Emperor stared intently at Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, who met his gaze without fear.

Even setting aside the Heavenly Evil God, the Outer Realm Evil Clan has enough power to suppress the Great Thousand World. Among them, the Patriarch of the thirty-two major clans are all comparable to the Late-Stage Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, and their actual combat power may even be stronger.

Add the Heavenly Evil God, and it becomes even more terrifying.

Despite the suppression of the entire Great Thousand World, the Heavenly Evil God was still so powerful that it inspired despair. The Immortal Great Emperor was helpless and could only seal him away with his life.

To put it bluntly, just refining the Heavenly Evil God would greatly benefit the Great Thousand World.

If the entire Outer Realm Evil Clan could be refined, the strength of the Great Thousand World would undoubtedly experience an explosive surge.

Both the number of powerful individuals and the strength of the World Will will inevitably increase significantly.

The Immortal Great Emperor, having grasped the crux of the matter, felt a pang of regret:

Back then, he never thought in that direction. The seal was purely a connection to the Great Thousand World's World Will, gathering endless Spiritual Power to kill the Heavenly Evil God.

However, even the Immortal Great Emperor back then didn't have the power to use the Heavenly Evil God as nourishment.

Thinking of this, the Immortal Great Emperor couldn't help but have some doubts. "Is the Heavenly Evil God also in your plan? With your strength, you should be able to leave your name on the Sky Ranking, but if you want to deal with the Heavenly Evil God or even refine him, you probably need to leave your name completely."

Xiao Yan smiled and began to explain his ideas to the Immortal Great Emperor...

The Sky Ranking reappeared, and the character "Ye" shone brightly, quickly alarming the entire Great Thousand World.

Just as various forces began to speculate about the reasons behind it, the Great Thousand Palace stepped forward and announced a bombshell: the Immortal Great Emperor had regained a sliver of life.

The news caused a huge uproar throughout the Great Thousand World as soon as it was released.

The Immortal Great Emperor has always been a legendary figure. He sealed the Heavenly Evil God with his life, solving the greatest crisis of the Outer Realm Evil Clan. He has been praised for tens of thousands of years. Now that he has come back to life, it is hard to accept.

But Great Thousand Palace doesn't care whether others can accept it or not.

Great Thousand Palace then released a second message:

The Immortal Great Emperor resides in the Northern Desolation Hill, Grave Keeper Lineage will conquer the Outer Realm Evil Clan and choose a place to settle on from the continent occupied by the Outer Realm Evil Clan.

The Five Great Ancient Clans also spearheaded a campaign against the Outer Realm Evil Clan, striving to recover lost territory and restore the glory of the Great Thousand World.

In an instant, countless Heavenly Sovereign sprang into action, and countless living beings followed suit, paying close attention to the matter.

The ancient world war seems somewhat distant to the creatures of today's Great Thousand World.

Apart from the Heavenly Sovereign who are to participate in the Great Thousand Alliance, the vast majority of beings in the Great Thousand World maintain a sense of unfamiliarity with this terrifying invader, the Outer Realm Evil Clan.

It's roughly equivalent to knowing about something but feeling like it has nothing to do with you.

As the campaign began, it became relevant to ordinary people.

The conquered continents will naturally be guarded by Heavenly Sovereign, but it's impossible for them to be the Heavenly Sovereign. There will definitely be some people with relatively weaker strength who will go there to live and make use of the continents' resources.

Living conditions must have been incredibly difficult, but they also gave people the opportunity to receive the protection of the Heavenly Sovereign.

Countless people stirred. The fearsome reputation of the Outer Realm Evil Clan had not faded, but there was never a shortage of people willing to risk their lives for resources. They would not back down until their true death arrived...

Just as the Great Thousand World began its massive mobilization, the Myriad Demon Hall once again gathered a group of Demonic Shadow.

Unlike last time, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor in the central position did not ignite the black and white Saint Demon Flame, but his majestic aura enveloped the entire Myriad Demon Hall.

"There was indeed the aura of Immortal Great Emperor that day."

A deep voice rang out, and the Myriad Demon Hall immediately erupted in excitement.

Although the Heavenly Demon Emperor knew perfectly well that the Immortal Great Emperor was no match for the Heavenly Evil God, they also knew that only the Heavenly Evil God could suppress the Immortal Great Emperor among the entire Outer Realm Evil Clan.

"Quiet!" A loud shout rang out, and the Myriad Demon Hall fell silent instantly.

The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor took a deep breath and said calmly, "That Immortal Great Emperor is probably just a Residual Soul, without peak combat power. Otherwise, he would have attacked our god on the spot."

"The only thing the Immortal Great Emperor can do is probably to stop us during that final Great Thousand Alliance."

"The final Great Thousand Alliance cannot afford any surprises. Before that, we must deal with the Immortal Great Emperor."

The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's voice was resolute and left no room for doubt, yet it also made the Heavenly Demon Emperor look troubled.

"Are we still going to surround and kill Xiao Yan?" the pale-faced Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor asked softly.

The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor frowned. The Immortal Great Emperor was a former powerhouse whose name was recorded on the Sky Ranking, and Xiao Yan was a powerhouse who had a high probability of being recorded on the Sky Ranking in the future.

If dealing with the Immortal Great Emperor takes too much time and allows Xiao Yan to make a breakthrough, then it will be a complete loss.

"Kill Xiao Yan first," the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor replied.

"Should we fight back with all our might when the Great Thousand World launch a counterattack?" the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor then asked.

A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, who sneered, "Do they really think they can defeat us?"

"So, you can kill freely now, right?" the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor Zhantian sneered.

The Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor, slender hands with dark nails that faintly emitted a terrifyingly sharp aura. With a gentle wave, he could tear space apart, and his words were full of violence.

"Anyway, no matter where we fight, it's all part of the Great Thousand World. We don't care if the continent is shattered—choosing to fight us in a region shrouded in Demonic Qi is undoubtedly tying our own hands. How foolish!" The Heart Demon Emperor sneered.

"Alright, let's move the Lower Plane where the Evil Spirit Clan is located first! The shattered Lower Plane is one thing, but the Evil Spirit Clan absolutely cannot be exposed to the Great Thousand World right now," the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor waved his hand and said.

As the Demonic Shadow departed, the Myriad Demon Hall returned to calm.

Only the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor remained, his expression unpredictable...

A year later, the massive war began.

Although the Five Great Ancient Clans were among the initiators, they were no longer top-tier combat forces once the real battle began.

Only those powerful figures who have reached the Late-Stage Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, such as Demon Slaying King Qin Tian, Green Shirt Sword Saint, Lord of Immortality, True Dragon Emperor, Phoenix King, and Huang King, can dominate the battlefield.

Although the Five Great Ancient Clans have profound foundations, they are still lacking when it comes to top-tier experts.

Even Maha Tian, who can be considered the strongest of the Five Ancient Clans, is only at the mid-stage of the Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign.

The areas occupied by the Outer Realm Evil Clan present a completely different scene.

Whether in the sky or on the ground, all that could be seen was pitch black, exuding a repulsive Demonic Qi. Simply standing in it was enough to induce a sense of physical resistance.

But Xiao Yan arrived.

Xiao Yan didn't do anything unnecessary. Under the protection of many Heavenly Sovereign, he connected his mind to the Sky Ranking and drew upon the World Will of the Great Thousand World. He then allowed the Spiritual Power containing the world's might to pierce through the endless Demonic Qi and forcibly reshape the battlefield.

The Great Thousand World's World Will generally supported this action of clearing away Demonic Qi and reclaiming lost territory, which made it exceptionally easy for Xiao Yan to contact the Sky Ranking.

Then Xiao Yan disappeared, and the massive Heavenly Sovereign and the Demon Emperor of the Outer Realm Evil Clan fought a great battle.

The Heavenly Sovereign are divided into Spiritual Grade, Immortal Grade Saint Grade, and Saint Grade, and the Demon Emperor are also divided into three levels corresponding to them: Netherworld and Profound Heaven. When they fight, it is difficult to determine the winner, but the Outer Realm Evil Clan basically have the upper hand.

Xiao Yan wasn't very interested in this. Apart from summoning the Sky Ranking, he spent most of his time wandering in the void, searching for those Lower Plane.

Without coordinates, finding the Lower Plane is a very difficult task.

However, coordinates were gathered in large quantities during the mobilization period.

For example, the White Dragon Sovereign came from Lower Plane to the Great Thousand World to seek help, and just in time, he immediately provided the coordinates of his homeland; similarly, some members of the Ice Spirit Clan also went to Lower Plane then, and they also had relevant coordinates.

Xiao Yan then followed these coordinates to see if there were any geniuses in the local area who had cultivated to their peak and could contend with the Demon Emperor. If there were, he would lend a hand without directly intervening; if not, he would blast the Demon Emperor to death.

On this day, Xiao Yan arrived at the Heavenly Profound Continent, which corresponds to the coordinates of the Ice Spirit Clan.

Xiao Yan looked at the plane that faintly emitted some Demonic Qi, his gaze penetrating the barrier of the Plane Embryo to lock onto the source of the frozen Demonic Qi.

"I think I've hit the mark?"

Xiao Yan smiled, flicked his finger, and a wisp of flame shot through the air, silently landing in the Heavenly Profound Continent...

Above the Chaotic Demon Sea, a huge and magnificent ice lotus burst forth with boundless radiance. Then, the petals of the ice lotus began to slowly close, and through the ice lotus, one could see a young man with a face full of despair.

A beautiful figure stood blankly outside the ice lotus, her tender eyes fixed on the young man's face, as if trying to imprint him completely in her heart.

However, this figure had abandoned her spirit, her body, her soul, and her blood. She had nothing left, and her figure grew fainter and fainter, like a candle flickering in the wind, which could dissipate at any moment.

"Should I call it talent? Or just a lucky break?"

Just then, a very unpleasant voice came from behind her. Ying Huanhuan was startled, and then looked up sharply, only to see a blazing fire.

"Who are you?!" The Flame Master rushed forward immediately, but his internal Yuan Power instantly collapsed, making it difficult to attack the person surrounded by flames.

"I am a merchant from the Great Thousand World," Xiao Yan said calmly, taking out a Pills.

The refreshing Medicinal Fragrance spread out, Ying Huanhuan's constantly dissipating Residual Soul actually stabilized in the Medicinal Fragrance.

"Just one drop of Sovereign Spirit Liquid, and payment can be deferred!" Xiao Yan flicked his finger and tossed it to Ying Huanhuan.

"Senior is joking. How could such a divine medicine require only a single drop of Sovereign Spirit Liquid?" Ying Huanhuan said with a bitter expression.

"As long as you can kill this Demonic Emperor, then this Pills will only require a drop of Sovereign Spirit Liquid," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Ying Huanhuan looked thoughtful, but did not take it. She simply said softly, "Then I thank you, senior. I believe he... Lin Dong can definitely do it."

"Oh? You're planning to die yourself and leave the Pills to that kid?" Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the anxious Flame Master next to him was slapped away.

Ying Huanhuan smiled but did not respond.

"Then you're looking down on me a bit, aren't you?"

Xiao Yan shook his head and took out a jade box. He opened it and saw dozens of Pills scattered inside, each emitting the same Medicinal Fragrance.
