Hou Ming and Jiang Yun, the two Dao Ancestors, personally gave the order. Their words became law. Who dared disobey?
Soon, every expert in the Underworld knew the rules of this war: Immortal Kings would enter the Immortal King Battlefield, while those below them would enter a separate battlefield!
Any Immortal King who dared enter the lower-tier battlefield would be killed without mercy!
The Immortal Kings felt a chill, but quickly realized the purpose: to temper Immortal King-level experts for the coming war at the Sacrificial Sea!

"You mean some Immortal Kings might gain the chance to become Dao Ancestors in this war!?"
"Certainly! Otherwise, the two Dao Ancestors wouldn't have treated it so seriously! This war is meant to push the experts of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation toward higher realms!"
The Immortal Kings of the Eight Paths of Reincarnation debated at length before reaching one conclusion: the Immortal Kings who killed the most in this war might gain the chance to become Dao Ancestors!
The Underworld's experts below the Immortal King Realm also understood the purpose of the divided battlefields. They would not have to face Immortal Kings, giving them a chance to fight opponents at their own level and advance into the Immortal King Realm!
Across countless great worlds, storms gathered. Immortal Kings and those beneath them alike left the Underworld for the worlds around Heaven, seeking Heaven's experts to fight!
A world-shaking war began,
