Six Dynasties Lay Siege, an Age of Chaos

The originally chaotic encampments of the Three Races suddenly underwent a dramatic upheaval. The Six Great Sacred Dynasties had actually joined forces to sweep through the cultivators of the Eastern and Western Alliances.

Because it happened so suddenly, neither the Eastern nor Western Alliance had time to react. Caught in the Six Great Sacred Dynasties' joint surprise attack, they suffered devastating casualties. Blood flowed into rivers, and corpses carpeted the ground.

Nine Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals from the two alliances alone had fallen in this assault, along with more than ten thousand Golden Immortals. As for Mystic Immortals and heavenly immortals, over a million had died, leaving both alliances enraged beyond measure.

Eastern Alliance Headquarters.

The five great elders—Old Ancestor Black Mountain, Old Ancestor Tian Yin, Old Ancestor Xuan Yang, Old Ancestor Chang Feng, and Old Ancestor Ling Tong—were all wearing incomparably grim expressions, icy killing intent radiating from their bodies.

The more than one hundred Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals below were likewise trembling with fear, afraid they might offend the five ancestors at such a moment and be used as tools to vent their anger. Every one of them was extremely cautious.

"Looks like they've made up their minds to destroy us," Old Ancestor Black Mountain said darkly.

"What should we do? Our strength is still far inferior to that of the Six Great Sacred Dynasties," Old Ancestor Ling Tong said uneasily. After all, the alliance had existed for far less time than the Six Great Sacred Dynasties. Whether in experts or equipment, they could not compare to sacred dynasties that had long been established.

"Is there any possibility of reconciliation?" Though Old Ancestor Chang Feng knew the hope was slim, he could not help voicing it.

Old Ancestor Black Mountain and the others glanced at Old Ancestor Chang Feng without speaking, then fell silent with furrowed brows.

"How about activating that formation?" Old Ancestor Tian Yin said in a sinister tone. "When the time comes, the Six Great Sacred Dynasties may fear suffering excessive losses and being exploited by the Demon Domain and the Fierce Beast Domain, so they may abandon the attack."

"But if we activate that formation, won't the sacrifice be too great? Once those Mystic Immortals and heavenly immortals learn of it, they may revolt," Old Ancestor Xuan Yang said worriedly.

Old Ancestor Black Mountain pondered for a moment, his face turning somewhat savage. "Since they are being so ruthless, we cannot let them have it easy either. It's decided, then. But if anyone leaks news of the forbidden formation, don't blame me for being merciless."

Under Old Ancestor Black Mountain's sinister gaze, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals below all shuddered. One after another, they swore never to reveal the news.

It was merely the sacrifice of some Mystic Immortals and heavenly immortals. The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals felt no psychological burden over it. Besides, it was for the sake of the alliance. There was no need to offend the five ancestors over such a trivial matter.

Seeing that none of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals objected, Old Ancestor Black Mountain revealed a trace of satisfaction.

"Has any news come from the Western Alliance?" After composing himself, Old Ancestor Black Mountain asked Venerable Green Mountain, who was responsible for communications.

"They have agreed to join hands with us in resisting the Six Great Sacred Dynasties," Venerable Green Mountain replied.

"Good. Give this formation to the Western Alliance as well. They should make some sacrifices too; it cannot be only us paying the price," Old Ancestor Black Mountain said indifferently.

The war legions of the Six Great Sacred Dynasties all set out at once, and the entire Primordial World was thrown into turmoil.

Meanwhile, the Eastern and Western Alliances also gathered together, lest they fight separately and be defeated one by one in the end.

Centered on their encampments, within a radius of a hundred million li, the two alliances laid down restrictions, illusion formations, killing formations, trapping formations, defensive formations, blazing fire formations, ice formations... Dense and innumerable, every step was fraught with peril.

The entire field of restrictions shimmered in a riot of colors and chaos. One moment, fierce winds howled; the next, raging flames burned; then the earth froze over; then thunder flashed and lightning roared...

All manner of strange phenomena appeared within the restrictions, calling to mind the Chaos World before heaven and earth had opened. Danger lurked everywhere; even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals did not dare enter lightly.

The hundreds of billions of allied troops from the Six Great Sacred Dynasties flew in a vast, mighty procession toward the gathering place of the two alliances. Black shadows filled the skies, blotting out the sun and covering the earth, their momentum incomparably grand.

Cultivators along the way hurriedly withdrew, not daring to linger in the slightest or block the allied army's path.

"Looks like the Eastern and Western Alliances are finished this time."

"Yeah. Just look at this spectacle. If a hundred billion troops strike together, even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals will likely be reduced to ashes."

"The two alliances' foundations are far too shallow. How could they possibly be a match for the Six Great Sacred Dynasties?"

Seeing the hundred-billion army blotting out the sky, everyone in the Primordial World held little hope for the Eastern and Western Alliances.

Northern Region, Blood Prison City.

"Everyone, make your preparations. Once the Six Great Sacred Dynasties and the two alliances begin their war, we will set out," Silver Bone Ancestor said as he swept his gaze over the people below. "Before they die, they belong to the various great powers. After they die, they belong to us. Remember—whoever stands in our way, destroy them. When the time comes, our master will be with us."

A trace of fervor flashed through the eyes of the cultivators below. According to the rules of the Blood Prison Five Ancestors, the more blood essence one gathered, the greater one's contribution and the greater the authority one could obtain. One might even receive the opportunity to enter the Black Giant Coffin for secluded cultivation.

The Black Giant Coffin did not merely gather corpses and produce blood essence. Its interior was divided into dozens of spaces, some of which were cultivation chambers.

The Blood Prison Five Ancestors had not only engraved all the divine abilities and secret arts passed down by the Main Body within it, but had also ordered everyone to collect and compile their cultivation methods, divine abilities, secret arts, realm insights, and experiences into volumes to be stored inside. Whether divine abilities, secret arts, or insights, it contained everything from heavenly immortals to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

What drove people even madder was that, in order to increase everyone's strength, the Main Body had actually engraved part of his Rule Insights within it, making even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals like the Blood Prison Five Ancestors yearn for them intensely.

Therefore, the moment they heard preparations for action were underway, everyone below felt their hearts blaze with fervor.

Fierce Beast Domain, a mysterious tower.

"Has the Demon Domain said when they will begin moving?" Beast Emperor Shen Ni narrowed his eyes slightly as he asked the shadow beside him.

"They said to let the Six Great Sacred Dynasties and the two alliances fight for a while first. Once they have each revealed their trump cards, we will begin advancing," the shadow answered truthfully.

"Mm. Have all the fierce beasts gathered?" Shen Ni asked calmly.

"Other than a very small number still wandering the Primordial World, nearly all of them have gathered," the shadow replied with a nod.

"Then let us wait quietly for the right moment." After saying this, Shen Ni gazed silently at the sky. He knew that victory in this battle meant Half-step Primordial Chaos, while defeat meant being scattered into ash. Though he knew the danger, he had no choice but to fight for it. There was no smooth road in cultivation; everything had to be fought for. "Luo Hou, you are the same, aren't you?" Shen Ni murmured to himself.
