Chapter 160: Chapter 155: Accidental Intrusion
"These black-robed people, are they actually humans?"
Yin Gu had been watching the actions of the black-robed people. Although he couldn’t know what the black-robed people were discussing with Baleng, he could clearly discern from afar that the Tai Long soldiers being able to regroup and confront the enemy seemed to surprise them. When the black-robed people removed their robes, Yin Gu saw the humans one by one.
However, when Yin Gu’s gaze stayed on the mysterious black markings on their bodies, his pupils suddenly contracted!
"How... how could it be..." Yin Gu was stupefied, his eyes looking as if he had seen something unbelievable, his shock evident on his face.
Others couldn’t recognize this marking, and Baleng had never seen it before, but Yin Gu, who had experienced that chaotic era firsthand, knew deeply what this marking represented!
It represented a vast power, powerful enough to rival the Cosmic Alliance, the Mercenary Martial Arts Hall, and the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion... It’s no exaggeration to say it is the fourth largest power in the Cosmos!
Dark Holy Banquet!
Yin Gu heard this name not long after he had just become a Celestial God, when the entire cosmos was stirred by a war known as the "War of the Universe." All cosmic countries, regardless of size or strength, participated in this war.
Yin Gu was one of them, and he vividly remembers that the cosmos was divided into two large camps at the time. One camp belonged to the three major forces of the cosmos, while the other belonged to the Dark Holy Banquet.
Though said to be two large camps, most of the cosmic forces stood on the side of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, Cosmic Alliance, and Mercenary Martial Arts Hall, with only a small portion siding with the Dark Holy Banquet.
Even after so long, Yin Gu still remembers a remark someone made at that time, which shocks him to this day.
"The Dark Holy Banquet... are they planning to oppose the entire cosmos?"
Against the entire cosmos!
What a powerful force must they be to achieve such a stance?
That war annihilated countless cosmic countries, space shattered, stars were wiped away, and where the flames of war spread, all beings perished, nothing grew, and nothing remained unscathed.
The power of the Dark Holy Banquet made the entire cosmos tremble, nearly pushing it to the brink of extinction, but in the end, the Dark Holy Banquet lost, having risen in the war, it also perished in the war.
Yin Gu doesn’t know how that earth-shattering war, which shocked the entire cosmos, ended up settling its score. He only knows that as a Celestial God, when he thought he was standing high above, he abruptly realized he was merely an insignificant presence in the cosmos.
Celestial Gods, like the weakest minions, were insignificant in the war, even those beyond the Celestial God Realm fell one by one.
That was the "Era of Divine Fall," a time when the cosmos’s strong ones suddenly withered.
Yin Gu knows that the emergence of Tai Long Cosmic Country was no coincidence; it originally belonged to a vast power in the cosmos known as the "Endless Tai Long Palace."
But after that cosmic war, the Endless Tai Long Palace was annihilated, leaving nothing but a portion of its people, who over long years returned to this place and established the Tai Long Cosmic Country.
Now, those bearing the mark of darkness have reappeared, what does this signify, is the Dark Holy Banquet about to return?
Could it be... that the war of the universe is going to ignite once more, plunging the entire cosmos into panic and turmoil again?
Yin Gu dares not think further, deeply fearing the shock that the war of the universe brought him, one that he will find hard to erase in this lifetime.
"Marshal! Marshal! It’s over, we’re finished!" Suddenly, a sharp voice awakened Yin Gu, who reacted and swept his gaze over the battlefield, his face immediately becoming incredibly grim.
It was those black-robed people.
After removing their black robes, exposing their real forms, they rushed into the battlefield and began slaughtering Tai Long soldiers recklessly.
It was like wolves entering a flock of sheep, unleashing a massacre.
They were too powerful. Tai Long soldiers appeared like tofu before them, unable to withstand a single blow, even defensive formations formed by hundreds of Tai Long soldiers crumbled under the attacks of these black-robed people, blood splattered, bodies decapitated, it felt less like they were killing, more like they were playing a game, toying with death to threaten every Tai Long soldier!
"Hold on, we must hold on, form defensive formations with all teams, notify the few in the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, let them provide reinforcements!" Yin Gu immediately ordered.
"No... no, Marshal, save me!" However, the only response to Yin Gu was a cry of utter despair, which then completely fell into silence.
"Damn it!" Yin Gu cursed in frustration, his gaze landing on the battlefield, grinding his teeth, unable to maintain his formerly composed demeanor.
The black-robed people had not been on the battlefield for long, but with their elusive body technique, far superior to Black Hole Level power, and those inscrutable attacks, Tai Long soldiers had no power to resist at all, being thoroughly crushed, the battle completely one-sided.
The Tai Long soldiers attempted a counterattack, mobilizing tens of thousands of Black Hole Level to attack them simultaneously, but only some managed to hit the black-robed people, causing no fatal damage.
These eleven black-robed people, each possessed White Hole Level power, and for the current Tai Long soldiers, eleven White Hole Level was a nightmare.
Wind Forest soldiers surged forward, the black-robed people slaughtered madly, Tai Long soldiers retreated step by step, the five disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion wanted to move up for rescue, but were intercepted by Xu Ao and others, using numbers to block them, leaving the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion disciples to only watch as Tai Long soldiers retreated like a tide, leaving behind patch after patch of corpses.
Defeated.
The outcome of this war was thoroughly decided at this moment.
The Tai Long soldiers, facing the overwhelming number of Wind Forest soldiers, and black-robed people with strength comparable to Heaven-Reaching Pavilion disciples, wanted to counterattack, but it was utterly ineffective.
The Tai Long generals sighed, shook their heads, covered their faces, and turned away, their faces written with dejection.
Yin Gu clenched his fists even tighter, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
This war had many twists and turns, from the very beginning Yin Gu had calculated every step, having grasped victory in this war tightly.
But merely because of these eleven black-robed people from the Dark Holy Banquet, this war was lost, leaving them without any power to fight back.
"Yin Gu, give up." He Shi said with a complicated expression, seeing the war more clearly than Yin Gu, the battle was already completely clear, no changes were possible, a miracle was impossible, the only option was to declare the war lost, saving the lives of some Tai Long soldiers.
"He Shi... Is there really no hope?" Yin Gu was unwilling to give up. Once the Black Hole Level battleground was lost, they would lose the Half-Steep Star Domain, lose Tai Long’s territory, and all of this... was caused by his poor command.
He Shi shook his head and sighed. The war’s defeat was already decided, with no chance of recovery.
Yin Gu also sighed along, understanding that the war was lost, and the defeat must be acknowledged without any excuses.
"Everyone, come back," Yin Gu spoke. All the Tai Long soldiers shuddered, looking towards the figure clad in purple armor in the void.
Defeated.
Everyone realized this fact. From the moment they were pursued and slaughtered, Tai Long soldiers knew the war had already been decided.
Demoralized, Tai Long soldiers dropped their war soldiers; tens of thousands of war soldiers scattered in the void, leaving everyone’s hands empty.
Seeing this scene, the Wind Forest soldiers and the black-robed man all stopped.
This was an act of abandoning the war. To drop the war soldiers means to surrender, to accept the reality of the war’s defeat.
"Haha..." Xu Ao laughed skyward, "She Feng, even if your Heaven-Reaching Pavilion can withstand the ten of us, how can it change the final ending! You are destined to be the loser, haha..."
The battle between She Feng and Xu Ao also came to a halt. They too noticed the Tai Long soldiers abandoning their war soldiers. The war was lost, and the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion disciples could do nothing to save it.
Five people were dejected but had to accept the fact.
Baleng showed a smile of delight, soared into the air, and came to the forefront of the war. With a wave of his hand, an ancient contract scroll flew out.
This was the War Contract. Once defeated in the war, one must sign the War Contract, which would be supervised by the Cosmic Law and could not be violated.
"Yin Gu, you were a good opponent, and I will remember you," Baleng said, with an irrepressible smile on his face.
The twists and turns of the war, Baleng thought he had a sure victory, yet was repeatedly beaten back by Yin Gu’s strategies, and despite using the God Control Technique, he could not seize victory in the war. In the end, it was the black-robed man who played a decisive role, securing the victory completely.
Victory achieved, Naturally, Baleng was in a joyous mood.
On the contrary, Yin Gu and other generals, along with Tai Long soldiers, showed resentful eyes yet had no recourse.
Sign it; only by signing the contract can one stop this one-sided slaughter.
Yin Gu beckoned, and the ancient contract scroll flew towards him, drawing all eyes to Yin Gu.
A drop of blood coalesced, and Yin Gu sighed deeply, reaching out to press it onto the contract scroll. As long as the blood fell, the contract would be fully effective.
However, at that moment—
Whoosh!
The space distorted, and a cosmic battleship with a blooming Bailan at the bottom slowly emerged.
Yin Gu was stunned and looked over. Not only he but the eyes of tens of thousands on the battlefield fell on this unexpected guest.
"Master, there was a slight issue with the space-time jump just now, straying off the coordinates, appearing ahead are many Black Hole Level figures," the Celestial Spirit said.
Wang Xu was sitting in the main control room, immersed in his own world. After obtaining the Ancient Inheritance, he had been researching and had only practiced one of the four Endless.
Endless Saber.
With the help of the inheritance, Wang Xu’s understanding progressed with half the effort, and he had made some progress with Endless Saber.
"Huh?" Wang Xu opened his eyes, glancing outside, and was stunned, "Why are there so many people?"
In the distance, a dense crowd formed a dark mass, with patches of green and red light. Wang Xu glanced and instantly identified that a fierce battle might occur ahead.
"Celestial Spirit, this is a battlefield. Let’s go, don’t get involved," Wang Xu now only wanted to return to the war headquarters and comprehend the Endless Inheritance, having long set aside the matter of war.
"Wait!" Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came, followed by a red beam of light swiftly flying over.
This was a Wind Forest Cosmic Country’s Black Hole Level soldier, at the High Class Black Hole Level.
"Which country are you from?" the Wind Forest soldier asked.
Wang Xu furrowed his brows, unwilling but compelled to step out of Bailan, taking out an iron token glowing green.
The Wind Forest soldier glanced, let out a cold laugh, then the giant axe in his hand roared towards Wang Xu!
"Damn it, he actually took action against one of our own!"
"Tai Long has already surrendered, doing this embarrasses us!"
"Vile Wind Forest scum!"
Seeing this scene, Tai Long soldiers cursed out loud, while Yin Gu and others’ faces turned very uncomfortable.
Under their eyelids, attacking a Tai Long soldier, and amid signing the contract, this was a blatant disregard, a provocation to the dignity of Tai Long Cosmic Country!
Yet, facing the Wind Forest soldier’s strike, Wang Xu neither dodged nor evaded; he simply raised a hand, palm facing the Wind Forest soldier. Just as everyone did not understand what he was doing, Wang Xu’s hand suddenly clenched.
"Puff!" Instantly, that Wind Forest soldier’s body suddenly froze, as if petrifying, with no change in facial expression. He then straight turned into powder, scattering away.
Although the cosmos is always silent, behind this silence were tens of thousands of pairs of fearfully widened eyes. (To be continued. If you like this work, please go to to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to to read.)
