Light Spring Murmur

Chapter 688: Declaring War on the Cosmic Emperor

Originally, everyone thought it was someone so audacious and unconventional as to barge into the war room.

This kind of behavior didn't seem like something a normal person would do; it was likely an enemy.

But when they saw who it was, the high-ranking members of the Environmental Protection Army fell silent.

Quasi-Seventh Cosmic Seat, Shi Yu! Never mind, then!

Shi Yu's recklessness was well-known to many of the strong individuals present; this kind of thing was nothing.

Hearing Shi Yu's words, many high-ranking Environmental Protection Army members were taken aback.

What did Shi Yu say?

He would be in charge of the Environmental Protection Army from now on?

Everyone suddenly looked at Chairperson Bingling. Only Bingling herself and those lower in rank knew about the invitation to Shi Yu.

Mainly, although Shi Yu had agreed, Bingling herself wasn't sure if Shi Yu would actually come.

Now, seeing Shi Yu actually arrive, Chairperson Bingling immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the pressure on the Environmental Protection Army had instantly lessened.

The Starry Sky Legion was maintaining the all-encompassing barrier, while the Contract Legion and the Myriad Races Legion were guarding the border of the Giant Beast Empire. The Environmental Protection Army didn't even have a single peak-level Transcendent God on the surface.

Fortunately, Shi Yu had arrived.

"Welcome," Chairperson Bingling said, rising to greet Shi Yu.

The others immediately followed suit. If anyone else dared to say such arrogant things, saying that they would be in charge of the Environmental Protection Army, the Transcendent God Purifiers present would definitely scoff.

But if that person was Shi Yu, it was a different story. Everyone in the Cosmic Sea now knew that Shi Yu had destroyed dozens of polluted lands' Transcendent Gods during the transcendence competition.

The Environmental Protection Army's achievements over a billion years combined were not as impressive as Shi Yu's alone.

In terms of military merit, Shi Yu was now qualified to lead the Environmental Protection Army.

"How's the situation?" Shi Yu only knew Chairperson Bingling among the people here. After arriving, he asked, "The barrier should be much weaker now, right?"

After he broke through to the Cosmic level and confirmed his participation in the war, the Realm King shouldn't be putting all his power into maintaining the barrier anymore.

"Yes, the situation is very dangerous now."

"On the other side of the barrier, the progenitor of the Abyss Clan and the progenitor of the Pestilence Clan are in charge. There are two peak-level Transcendent Gods in total, and the number of high-level and mid-level Transcendent Gods is even harder to determine. Conservatively speaking, there are over a hundred Transcendent God-level polluted lives."

"This time, the entire army and all the clans of the polluted lands have been mobilized, determined to take the Cosmic Sea."

"Quite a show." Shi Yu took a few steps forward, acting like he belonged there, and casually sat down in a seat.

"However, no matter how many Transcendent Gods there are, they're just chickens and dogs."

Shi Yu's words brought bitter smiles to many people's faces. Shi Yu was probably the only one who dared to say that.

After all, this great demon king could beat a Solar God General to a pulp with just one of his pets.

In terms of combat power, the three peak-level Transcendent Gods of the polluted lands—the Meteor Clan Progenitor, the Pestilence Clan Progenitor, and the Abyss Clan Progenitor—were not as powerful as the Solar God General.

Among them, the Meteor Clan Progenitor had already been killed by Shi Yu in the Transcendence God Domain. Now that Shi Yu had arrived, the remaining two probably couldn't stir up much trouble. But...

"It's hard to believe that the actions of the polluted lands this time weren't authorized by the Dark King." Mentioning the Dark King, Chairperson Bingling's deputy, an elderly general, looked extremely grave.

"If it really interferes in the war, that will be the most troublesome moment."

As the general's voice fell, the expressions of the many soldiers present suddenly changed drastically. Messengers rushed towards the war room in a hurry, their faces pale. Countless transmissions ignored all rules and poured into the war room.

"Not good."

"The Dark King Legion... is about to invade on a large scale."

"According to frontline intelligence, the barrier is trembling. The power of pollution is seeping through the barrier and flowing to the battlefield. Countless polluted tribes are offering sacrifices, seemingly welcoming a supreme being."

The news that was received made the entire war room icy cold. Some people looked shocked. What they feared had come to pass.

Could it really be the Dark King?

Although countless people had a premonition that a Cosmic-level war was likely to occur given the level of alert issued by the Cosmic Sea, many strong individuals were still unwilling to believe it when the day truly arrived and it was confirmed.

Although these purifiers hadn't fought the Dark King, they could understand the Dark King's terror just by relying on legends.

Currently, the three peak-level Transcendent Gods of the polluted lands—the Meteor Clan Progenitor, the Abyss Progenitor, and the Pestilence Clan Progenitor—were merely creations of the Dark King.

The polluted lands also existed because of the Dark King. All the polluted races in the entire universe could be said to have been born because of the Dark King.

Every Cosmic-level being was unbelievably terrifying. In the Cosmic Sea, among the myriad races of the starry sky, even the Realm Dragon Race, as powerful as they were, was just one of the races birthed by the Realm King.

Cosmic-level and Transcendent God-level were not on the same dimension.

The Dark King's polluted creations alone had kept the Cosmic Sea and the Environmental Protection Army struggling for so many years. If the source of all pollution personally descended, and the Realm King didn't appear, the Environmental Protection Army couldn't think of any way to resist.

"Shi Yu." Chairperson Bingling looked urgently at Shi Yu, wanting to ask if he had brought any information about the Realm King.

"Don't even think about it. Although the Realm King has awakened, he is probably dealing with the invasion of the Beast King Legion at this moment." Shi Yu was still calm: "He doesn't have time to deal with the Dark King."

"I know you're panicking, but now isn't the time to fall apart."

"It seems I've arrived at the right time. The Realm King's calculations are really accurate."

"Hey, if I say that I'll take care of the Dark King, and you guys are only responsible for protecting yourselves and cleaning up the battlefield afterward, is that okay?"

Shi Yu's words left everyone present unable to understand and dumbfounded.

What did Shi Yu mean?

"Who said that the Cosmic Sea only has one Cosmic-level being, the Realm King?" Shi Yu looked outside, leaving everyone present even more shocked.

......

In the polluted lands, as the Realm King relaxed his maintenance of the barrier, a ray of faint light shot out from the polluted lands. This was the most exciting moment for the myriad of polluted races in the polluted lands.

Although some polluted Transcendent Gods sensed something, they didn't expect that that person would really appear. Sure enough, this great war must have been planned by that person.

"Are you kidding me?" On several mercenary stars in the polluted lands, mercenaries from the overlord territories dared to get involved in any war. But at this moment, some elite mercenaries smelled a hint of something bad.

Many people felt the tremors of the Star Sea. In the desolate starry sky, a void throne was slowly emerging. The dark throne seemed to be a cosmic treasure, a supreme authority sufficient to control all the power of pollution in the polluted lands.

Around it, countless phantoms slowly emerged. An ugly, filthy world was forming, filled with collapsed and decaying buildings, and nameless beast corpses, tilted and twisted and consumed by plague. They gradually rotted in the gnawing of flying carrion insects. The mottled black blood that covered the starry sky might be the last traces those corpses left in this universe.

In the midst of wails, in the terrifying and desolate starry sky, scarlet eyes slowly opened, outlining a massive body. The Dark King sat on the throne, shaped like a giant dragon, completely covered in dark scales. Each scale had a vortex-like mysterious pattern. Those dark wings, which didn't belong to a dragon, now covered the starry sky, enveloped the domain of pollution transformed by the throne, and brought an aura of absolute death.

Boom!!!

The Dark King's true form descended. Even across a barrier, countless soldiers on the Cosmic Sea's void battlefield felt a shiver in the depths of their souls, and their scalps went numb.

Over the years, the barrier had protected the Cosmic Sea well. Outside the barrier, the task of a group of Environmental Protection Army was, at most, reconnaissance and guarding. Although they knew in their hearts that a great battle was destined to happen one day, they didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, and that the Dark King would personally break through the barrier.

At this moment, behind the Dark King, countless polluted races, densely packed and covering more than a dozen star fields, all gathered in the starry sky. They seemed to have received a divine sign, their power greatly increased, and their eyes seemed to be able to penetrate several pieces of starry sky. Their consciousness was connected, and they were staring at the Cosmic Sea barrier in front of them.

"Lord Dark King!!!"

"Lord of Pollution!!"

The Dark King's arrival caused a tremor in the hearts of countless polluted races. It was the first time they had seen the Dark King's true form. Seeing the Dark King, they only felt like they were sinking into a deep vortex, unable to extricate themselves. But in the depths of their spirits, they were extremely excited and fanatical, as if they had seen the supreme creator, hoping to pray for its gaze.

For billions of years, the Dark King had appeared for the first time. It was something that countless polluted races didn't dare to imagine. Even the Abyss Progenitor and the Pestilence Clan Progenitor could only accompany the Dark King, like two servants.

"From today onwards, the Cosmic Sea will change hands and belong to the Dark King!"

The Pestilence Clan Progenitor had a long body and a slender face. It was a terrifying creature that emitted purple-brown waves of plague. Its voice echoed in the starry sky, captivating souls.

On the throne, the Dark King looked ahead. In recent days, it had vaguely felt uneasy and wanted to start the war as soon as possible. But unfortunately, the barrier was difficult to break. Now, no matter what the reason the barrier had weakened, the polluted lands had to launch a general offensive as soon as possible, otherwise there would be more variables.

"Kill!!!" As the Pestilence Clan Progenitor spoke, the polluted army was invigorated in its hearts. They had finally waited for this day.

For the polluted races, invasion was the best nourishment for growth. The environment and resources of the Cosmic Sea could all be polluted into things that were beneficial to their growth. The lives of the Cosmic Sea could also be polluted into members of the same race or servants. War was the most effective way for the polluted races to grow stronger.

The polluted lands, although they were also very large, had been occupied by the polluted races for so many years. There were not many places suitable for pollution left. The Cosmic Sea, the most fertile place in terms of resources, had long been coveted by the polluted races.

Now, with the Dark King's descent and personal supervision, the already irrational polluted creatures became even more violent and chaotic. Their eyes were filled with turbidity, and they were driven only by desire.

Boom!!

However, if they wanted to invade the Cosmic Sea, although the current barrier was weak, they still had to break it first. On the polluted throne, the Dark King, with the body of a dragon, remained motionless. Instead, the Pestilence Clan Progenitor, like a wild boar, took a step forward.

Its entire body suddenly emitted terrifying waves of plague, sweeping across the starry sky.

"Ah ah ah..." At this moment, the members of the cosmic overlord legions who had originally been hired by the Dark King Legion as mercenaries were horrified to discover that waves of plague had spread throughout the starry sky. Some creatures with weak strength and unyielding wills quickly developed purple bubbles on their bodies, their bodies rotted, and they were transforming into inhuman monsters.

This was only the aftermath of the power emitted by the Pestilence Clan Progenitor. The feet of this peak-level Transcendent God Pestilence Clan Progenitor, floated with black earth, and it walked forward step by step. Its power climbed higher and higher. Originally, its power should have been at the end among the peak-level Transcendent Gods, but now its power fluctuations had become incomparably terrifying. The power of the Pestilence Clan in the entire polluted lands was being mobilized by it, and even purer and darker sources of pollution were blessing it. Its power was probably several times stronger than the strongest peak-level Transcendent Gods such as the Solar God General and even Nüwa.

"Monster..." A cosmic overlord legion Transcendent God who had originally been stationed in the polluted lands, when he saw the appearance of the Pestilence Clan Progenitor, knew that this guy had been amplified by the Dark King's power, and was probably given a powerful source of pollution by the Dark King.

The current Pestilence Clan Progenitor was like a pet strengthened by a Beast Tamer. Its power had greatly increased. It seemed that it wanted to replace the Dark King and break the gradually weakening barrier.

On the opposite side of the barrier, all the stationed Environmental Protection Army members were uneasy. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Feeling the movement on the opposite side, although they immediately made preparations for battle, the oppressive atmosphere made it difficult for the Environmental Protection Army, which didn't have experts in charge, to muster the will to fight.

"No, I can't purify it!!!"

The stream of pollution that was gradually seeping into the barrier had already made some sweating Purifiers show powerless expressions. The level of the pollution source was too high, and it was difficult for them to purify it with their abilities!

"Roar!!!"

In this situation, the Pestilence Clan Progenitor was still in the starry sky of the polluted lands, transforming into a faint light, like a dark star, wanting to penetrate the barrier. This directly made the stationed Environmental Protection Army members feel like they had fallen into an ice cave, and their heartbeats seemed to stop.

"It's over."

Many people felt a sense of despair, but they still had hope, only hoping that the higher-ups of the Environmental Protection Army could show up at this time to resist the enemy's attack.

"Chairperson Bingling!!" At this time, in the Environmental Protection Army, the only one with the ability to deal with peak-level Transcendent Gods was Chairperson Bingling. The chairperson and vice-chairperson of Bingling were one human and one purified Star Spirit, but the two were like one body. Alone, they couldn't have peak-level Transcendent God battle power, but the two combined, relying on their attribute advantage, could fight a peak-level Transcendent God polluted race to a draw without any problems.

However, even if it was Chairperson Bingling, many people didn't have much confidence in whether she could resist the polluted legion with the Dark King in charge at this time.

"This time, no one can stop it." The polluted army, which had been continuously attacking the barrier for a long time, was now more confident than ever. The terrifying power of the Pestilence God had already torn apart space and time, causing the barrier to tremble violently. It was an undeniable fact that the barrier would be torn apart in the next moment.

Who could resist?

Not even Bingling.

As the Pestilence Clan Progenitor got closer and closer to the barrier, suddenly, space and time fluctuated, and an even bigger gap opened. Strong waves of purification burst out from the space-time rift, illuminating the starry sky all at once.

"Someone can't sit still anymore." Seeing this scene, countless polluted Transcendent Gods laughed instead. Was this the first time the Environmental Protection Army had been forced to cross the barrier and resist the attack due to pressure?

But the next moment, the polluted races couldn't laugh anymore. The light of purification became more and more dazzling. The dazzling starlight suddenly pressed countless polluted races to their knees, as if a star was shining on them, scalding them.

"Roar!!~~" What was even more unexpected was that even the Pestilence Clan Progenitor suddenly deformed under this light of purification, its body twisted, and it roared with a miserable scream.

It was terrified and couldn't believe that there was a creature that could make itself, blessed by the Dark King, feel so much pain.

"What happened!" Such a change was really unexpected. As the light became brighter and brighter, both sides of the battlefield suddenly discovered that the Giant Clan Progenitor seemed to have reached a limit, and the entire trace of its life was about to be purified away.

This light of purification was too terrifying, as if it originated from the beginning of the universe. It was the light of God that expelled all darkness. Seeing that the Pestilence Clan Progenitor was about to be purified into nothingness, the Dark King on the throne finally couldn't hold back and chose to attack.

Space and time reversed, as if there was an invisible giant hand, wanting to cross space and time and grab the Pestilence Clan Progenitor back.

The light of purification didn't make things difficult for the Pestilence Clan Progenitor or the Dark King. Under the Dark King's rescue, the Pestilence Clan Progenitor returned to the rear, but it was already half-dead, and it was shocked and terrified.

"Useless resistance." At this moment, the Dark King looked coldly, not understanding what kind of sacred being could easily crush the Pestilence Clan Progenitor that it had given a source of pollution.

The power fluctuations just now... If it wasn't mistaken...

!

Source power could evolve into rules, and was the upper system of the power of rules. It was an ability that could only be comprehended by cultivating multiple skills to the extreme and fusing them together.

When did a being that controlled the source of purification appear in the Cosmic Sea?

Moreover, there must be a Cosmic-level existence behind this being, otherwise it would have succeeded just now when it wanted to peek at the other party's traces.

Realm King, Superpower Empress?

Before the Dark King could make a judgment, a figure slowly walked out of the space-time rift. Seeing this figure, even the Dark King showed an incredible expression.

Rich cosmic source power, like chaotic aura, surrounded Shi Yu. He was wearing plain panda casual clothes, with one hand in his pocket, stepping on the starry sky. A starry sky slime that emitted a halo floated on his shoulder. The two seemed to be the "culprits" that had just resisted the Pestilence Clan Progenitor.

"Trash, what do you want to do to my territory?" Shi Yu said after appearing.

"Shi Yu?!!!!"

Whether it was the polluted lands or the Environmental Protection Army's grassroots, no one expected that it was Shi Yu who had appeared to resist the Pestilence Clan Progenitor's attack.

Seeing Shi Yu, the Dark King was furious, and then he was shocked and couldn't believe it, because it felt that Shi Yu at this time had probably entered the Cosmic level, but how was this possible?

How could he enter the Cosmic level in such a short time?

It was shocked and angry in its heart, unable to understand. It suddenly understood what the unease in its heart was. How could there be a human so monstrous?

"It's him." After discovering Shi Yu's figure, there were actually many acquaintances of Shi Yu on the Environmental Protection Army's side.

Such as Xing Nan, the president of the Canglan Environmental Protection Association, Master Adolf, who had once assessed Ya Ya, and his disciple Xia Zhichun, and even Feng Jing, the genius of the Environmental Protection Association who had once fought Ya Ya in the God Sealing Battle, these people had to go to the battlefield now that the war was imminent.

There was also Le Ling, who Shi Yu had rescued from the polluted lands and joined the Environmental Protection Army. These people were all surprised and then their pupils lit up when they found out that Shi Yu had made a move.

However, what did Shi Yu say just now?

What do you want to do to my territory?

Wasn't the one that the Pestilence Clan Progenitor wanted to attack just now the Cosmic Sea barrier?

Everyone's expressions were strange, feeling that Shi Yu was saying that the Cosmic Sea was his territory.

"I accidentally said what I really thought, I can't let the Realm King hear it." Shi Yu suddenly reacted and said.

"You, have entered the Cosmic level."

The words were shocking. They first came from Shi Yu's mouth, and then from the Dark King's mouth, a word that shook the starry sky.

What it said directly caused a major earthquake in the starry sky, and directly caused hundreds of millions of eyes to stop on Shi Yu, dumbfounded.

The many polluted Transcendent Gods, who were already extremely fearful of Shi Yu, were now even more terrified.

Cosmic level?

What did the Dark King say?

Shi Yu, entered the Cosmic level?

That quasi-Seventh Seat Shi Yu? Wasn't he just a Transcendent God a few years ago?

No one naturally didn't believe the Dark King's words, but because of this, it caused countless people to be shocked. It must be known that since the creation of the universe, no human had reached the Cosmic level.

But now, Shi Yu had actually achieved it. How could this not be surprising?

The other races were okay, but the human races in the two battlefields were shocked, and their eyes were dull. Could humans really enter the Cosmic level?

Although it had been said before that Shi Yu was the Seventh Cosmic Seat, he wasn't really one after all. Now, Shi Yu seemed to have completely confirmed this title and truly entered the Cosmic level.

"As expected!"

As it was certified here by the Dark King, Bingling and others sucked in a breath of cold air, and their brains rumbled.

No wonder Shi Yu was so confident, but this growth rate was too terrifying. He had directly become a Cosmic Emperor from that newcomer??

"I was going to look for you, but I didn't expect you to throw yourself into the net." Now that Shi Yu had entered the Cosmic level, it was indeed beyond the Dark King's expectations, but since things had developed to this point, the Dark King didn't want to regret anything.

Things had developed to this point, so let's fight first.

A newly promoted Cosmic level also wants to defy the heavens?

As a Cosmic Emperor who had been at the Cosmic level for billions of years, although he was extremely shocked that Shi Yu had entered the Cosmic level, it was impossible to say that he would be afraid of a Cosmic-level rookie.

Of course, Shi Yu wasn't afraid of it either. "You are very arrogant, but unfortunately, the days when you can be arrogant are not many."

"After this battle, the polluted lands will change hands and be renamed the Milky Way. I will be the Milky Way overlord, the seventh supreme seat in the universe!" Shi Yu said, and his declaration shook the stars.

"Looking for death!" When had the Dark King ever been provoked like this, but it seemed that every word Shi Yu said could stir its nerves. Who was arrogant?

"If you want me to make a move, first pass my pet's test."

"Let me see if the legendary Cosmic Emperor is just living up to its name." Shi Yu crossed his arms, and Su Su naturally chose to fight. There was a look of determination in her eyes as she looked at the source of this cosmic pollution.

"Ning." However, after staring at the Dark King, Su Su said something that even Shi Yu was slightly surprised by.

You, are actually a Purified Star Spirit. At this time, Su Su saw the Dark King's race.
