Boom.
The aura of the Sword Dao appeared.
Leading the way was one person, exuding boundless deathly aura.
Those wisps of deathly light, shaped like swords, radiated outwards.
The Death Sword Emperor, currently the foremost figure in the world.
After the Sword Master departed, the Death Sword Emperor became the World Master, ruling the Sword Realm to this day.
On the ancient, mottled stone road, the forces of two realms converged.
The people of the Life and Death Realm and the Sword Realm got along well.
Both located in the west, and with the leaders of both sides being good friends, their subordinates naturally had a good relationship.
Acquaintances began greeting each other.
Moments later...
Boom!
A violent aura appeared.
The first person to arrive was none other than the Dragon King.
It was worth noting that while the Chaos clan could soften their chaotic energy, their own aura grew increasingly violent, as if they had absorbed the turbulence from chaos itself.
However, thankfully, they did not lose their sanity.
These two groups had maintained peace for a long time, and everyone hoped this would continue.
Currently, in the Tenth Land, those below the Half-Emperor realm could venture out of their worlds to seek opportunities.
All of this was thanks to the Chaos Beasts.
"Dragon King."
Everyone showed due respect to those who had condensed their Dao spirits.
"Mm."
The Dragon King nodded and said, "We'll wait here. This is the place we agreed upon."
The people from both realms nodded.
Time flowed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
On this day...
From the direction of the Tenth Land, more powerful beings emerged from the dimensional barrier.
"Huh?"
Even the Dragon King was surprised at the figures emerging: "The Five Elements Lightning Emperors?"
Behind the Five Elements Lightning Emperors were many more Great Emperors.
The Great Emperors under the command of the Southern Yin Yang Dao Master had actually come out.
"This..."
For a moment, the Dragon King and the others were stunned.
"Greetings, Senior Dragon King."
The Golden Element Lightning Emperor clasped his fist and said, "By order of the Dao Master, we have come to provide support."
The southern forces had arrived.
No one had expected that the south would send help.
With a single word from Chen Fan, the entire Tenth Land had mobilized.
Elder Demon Chu stepped out from the crowd and clasped his fist towards the Golden Element Lightning Emperor, solemnly saying, "Brothers, thank you."
He accepted this favor on behalf of the City Lord.
More and more powerful individuals gathered.
The entire Tenth Land had, in essence, come out in full force.
The肅杀 atmosphere silenced the airflow on both sides of the stone road.
This was because of the Chaos Beasts.
After exchanging greetings, everyone waited in silence.
The southern powerhouses were led by the Five Elements Lightning Emperors.
...
Time flowed again.
The stone road was silent, eerily silent.
Everyone waited quietly, cultivating whenever they could to not waste time.
They were waiting for that person to appear...
Chen Fan and the Dragon King had agreed on a period of one month.
For the chaos, a month was but a fleeting moment.
And when the month arrived!
Buzz.
From the depths of the chaos on the right side of the stone road, a powerful fluctuation suddenly emanated.
"Whoosh."
Everyone opened their eyes and looked towards the right side of the stone road.
The chaotic zones on both sides of the stone road had not been trodden by anyone for years, and the chaotic energy was dense. A mass of chaotic energy rapidly expanded, churned, and exploded, and two figures broke through the chaos at extreme speed.
"City Lord."
"Sword Master."
Joyful shouts erupted from the powerful beings of the Life and Death Realm and the Sword Realm.
Indeed, the two figures who had arrived were Chen Fan and the Sword Master.
Their speed was like lightning, and in an instant, they appeared before the surprised and elated crowd.
Seeing those familiar faces, Chen Fan's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Brothers, it's been a long time."
It was good that everyone had gathered.
"City Lord."
Every face showed unconcealed excitement.
Although they had not been separated for long, to the powerful beings of the Life and Death Realm, it felt like a century.
Following the City Lord, their lives had been incredibly exciting every day.
That feeling was simply exhilarating.
The battles that ensued made their otherwise peaceful lives dazzling.
After the City Lord's departure, their lives had become extremely dull.
Every day was filled with nothing but cultivation, and even the occasional battles lacked the thrill of before.
"City Lord, you're finally back," everyone said with immense excitement.
They had waited too long for this day.
Chen Fan nodded gently, without unnecessary words.
He spoke directly: "Brothers, the great war is about to begin. This time, we will attack the Ninth Land. Hahaha... the Tenth Land is too small for us to stretch our limbs."
"What's the point of living if it's not exciting?"
"The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands are destined to become our battlefield for dominating the world."
"Brothers, follow me..."
There were no overly grand declarations.
It was rather plain, yet it stirred their hearts.
Only by following the City Lord could they have such an exciting life.
"Long live the City Lord..."
Their voices echoed through heaven and earth.
Everyone was filled with excitement.
The moment of excitement had arrived again.
"Roar."
A group of people, like starving wolves, had flames of intense battle intent ignite in their eyes.
The Sword Realm people, however, only had calmness in their eyes. Only when they looked at the Sword Master did a hint of brilliance appear.
"Long time no see."
His words were much simpler.
He replied softly: "I know your thoughts. As fellow sword cultivators, I understand your desires even more. Nowadays... your hearts are no longer as calm as before. It seems you also yearn for an exciting life."
"If that is the case, then let us battle. Let us use the Ninth Land to glorify the name of our sword cultivators."
Clang clang clang.
Sword cries shook the heavens.
Streams of sword light rose from the people of the Sword Realm, their dazzling halos illuminating the world.
This was the way of sword cultivators.
Few words, and their swords spoke.
The Sword Master smiled, as expected... they couldn't resist any longer.
...
As for the Chaos clan.
There was no need to say.
From the moment the Dragon King led them to carve out a path, their hearts had never settled.
Now that the Chaos clan lived well in the Tenth Land, they could rest assured when they went out to fight.
No worries about their backs.
On the scene, only the southern powerhouses felt a bit awkward.
Their overlord had not come.
"Everyone."
At this moment, Chen Fan walked towards them and clasped his fist, saying; "Chen Fan is deeply grateful for your assistance. Without further ado, let us now share this grand feast together."
The Golden Element Lightning Emperor clasped his fist and replied, "Thank you, City Lord."
He didn't elaborate on what he was thanking him for, nor was it easy to say.
However, their arrival represented their stance.
"Let's go."
Chen Fan waved his hand.
Boom.
A hundred Emperors departed.
...
On the border of the Ninth Land.
Figures looked in the direction of the stone road with horror.
The hundreds of powerful auras surging towards them turned the faces of the border guards pale.
"What happened?" figures appeared, their eyes filled with terror.
"The Tenth Land is attacking."
A Great Emperor from the Thousand Silk Realm swallowed hard, his eyes filled with extreme fear.
Boom.
A sky-covering tide of figures advanced towards the Ninth Land.
The aura emanating from each of the individuals in that group was terrifying.
"The war has begun."
Everyone trembled in fear.
"Run."
Someone shouted.
Whoosh.
The group of Great Emperors guarding the border instantly scattered.
Not a single one remained.
They all fled madly.
The sky... had collapsed.
