The sky truly fell.
There were too many powerful beings, all of them Great Emperors.
The Tenth Land had attacked.
In an instant, the fleeing guardians began to frantically relay messages.
"Quick, the Tenth Land is attacking, report to the Dao Master immediately..."
"Hundreds of Great Emperors, urgent..."
"Master, run, take the world and run as far as you can..."
"..."
The army from the Tenth Land surged into the Ninth Land.
This was a war that swept across two lands. If you didn't run, you would be caught in the vortex of this great battle.
Small worlds had no chance of survival.
Unfortunately, their transmissions only received a few responses.
The guardians were directly loyal to the Eighth Order Great Emperors. Yet, this time, most of the Ninth Land's Eighth Order Emperors had entered the Yin Yang Perilous Land, contending for the Order Heavenly Scrolls.
Many people never received the news.
And Chen Fan was exploiting this time lag.
The barrier of the Ninth Land...
*Chii.*
A massive rift appeared.
It was torn open by brute force. Towering Chaos Beasts squeezed into the Ninth Land.
"Roar."
Instantly, roars echoed throughout the Ninth Land.
More and more powerful beings entered the Ninth Land.
All the Great Emperors still outside in the Ninth Land felt the world-shattering aura.
"A great war is truly coming."
Everyone trembled.
This would be a war that engulfed the entire Ninth Land.
Some small worlds near the edge of the Ninth Land, even those with Third Order Imperial Palaces, could only flee frantically at this moment.
"Heh."
Those colossal Chaos Beasts merely glanced and withdrew their gazes.
They disdained these small worlds.
Chasing and killing them would be a waste of time, not worth it.
Great worlds were their targets.
At least Seventh Order.
"Everyone,"
Chen Fan spoke again, "Our target is worlds of Seventh Order and above. Currently, the Ninth Land's two Ninth Order and forty Eighth Order Emperors are in a perilous land and cannot emerge for a short time. This is our opportunity."
"Time lag, are you all ready?"
"Roar."
"Fight."
"Fight."
"Fight."
Battle intent surged to the heavens.
"Then..."
An arrogant smile appeared on Chen Fan's face, "Let's begin..."
*Boom.*
Hundreds of Great Emperors instantly erupted.
The Life and Death Realm and the Sword Realm charged directly towards the square-shaped Thousand Threads Realm.
Meanwhile, the Dragon King, leading the Chaos Tribe and the southern powers, attacked the Five Elements Realm.
This had been decided on the way.
*Rumble.*
Immensely powerful auras shook heaven and earth.
The trembling small worlds could only flee frantically.
The otherwise peaceful chaos was instantly thrown into disarray.
Fourth Order, Fifth Order, Sixth Order... the worlds encountered along the way were ignored by no one.
They weren't even glanced at.
Sorry, too weak.
Under the watchful eyes of the fearful, countless powerful beings swept past.
Auras swept through heaven and earth.
Boundless killing intent surged.
A Sixth Order world, before it could even escape, was engulfed by a mighty aura.
"Hmph."
A giant Chaos Beast crushed its way through the world.
If you can't avoid it, then die.
*Boom.*
The Sixth Order Great World was directly crushed.
It bloomed like a firework, but extinguished as soon as it bloomed.
Silently, a Sixth Order Great World ceased to exist.
No one cared about the disappearance of a Sixth Order Great World, even if it contained many living beings.
Even Chen Fan didn't bat an eye.
He had given these worlds enough time to escape. If you were too slow... it meant you deserved to die, and there was no one to blame.
...
*Buzz.*
A Seventh Order Great World finally appeared ahead.
Above the world, a figure appeared and gazed across space.
A voice rang out, "Esteemed sirs, this is the Thousand Threads Realm, a Dao lineage of a Ninth Order Great Emperor. We kindly ask you to retreat for now. If there is anything, you may notify our Dao Master..."
*Chii.*
A sword light appeared.
The brilliant sword light cut through the heavens.
"No..."
The Seventh Order Great Emperor only had time to let out a terrified roar.
The sword light flashed past.
*Boom.*
The Seventh Order Great Dao collapsed directly.
Along with it, the Seventh Order Great World beneath him collapsed.
A single strike, killed with ease.
"Collect it."
The Sword Master commanded.
A Seventh Order Great World was also no small prize.
"Three."
Three Seventh Orders emerged.
The three joined forces and directly shattered the realm gate, attacking into the Seventh Order Great World.
*Rumble.*
The next moment, violent rumbling sounds emanated from within the world.
Powerful beings were slain, the Great Dao universe, world energy, and energy ley lines... all were relentlessly extracted.
In just a moment, the three walked out.
The world was still the same world, but it had lost all its energy.
This world was empty.
Only a trace of residual Great Dao lingered around the world. In a few hundred years, this world would naturally collapse.
"Good."
The Sword Master nodded with satisfaction.
If there were living beings in the world, let them fend for themselves.
After all, they were all human. The Sword Master did not want to unleash this boundless slaughter.
This was good.
Let it weather away.
...
*Chii.*
The group sped up again.
The fall of a Seventh Order Great Emperor and the emptying of a world did not cause much of a stir.
"Gather."
Around the Thousand Threads Dao Field, Eighth Order Great Worlds transmitted messages to various regions.
The crisis had arrived.
With the Dao Master absent, they had to gather their remaining forces to resist the enemy.
Nearby worlds began to shift, heading towards the Thousand Threads Dao Field.
"Disperse."
Chen Fan ordered, "Eighth Orders lead the way, encircle and annihilate. For any world of Seventh Order and above, leave a trace of residual Great Dao. For the rest, extract everything."
"Yes."
The wolves of the Life and Death Realm instantly scattered.
On the other side, under the Sword Master's command, the experts of the Sword Realm also dispersed in all directions.
Encirclement.
From the edges towards the center.
The same situation occurred in the Five Elements Realm.
The Tenth Land had arrived too quickly, not giving the Thousand Threads Dao Master and the others time to emerge before they began a frenzied slaughter of the Ninth Land.
World after world was broken open.
*Boom!*
Chen Fan casually extracted the Great Dao universe and world energy from a Seventh Order Great World.
Immense power gathered into a sphere in his hand, which he tossed to a young girl behind him, "Absorb it."
"Thank you, City Lord."
An An nodded obediently, took the energy, and began to absorb it.
An An's progress was rapid, already on the verge of Eighth Order.
This energy was most suitable for her.
Since the goal was to grow stronger through battle, they had to improve their strength at the fastest possible pace.
*Rumble.*
World after world was drained dry.
...
Meanwhile, within the perilous secret realm.
"Kill."
At this point, the perilous land was already littered with corpses.
Of the original team of over forty people, less than twenty remained.
A month of fighting and contention had claimed the lives of more than twenty powerful beings.
*Bang.*
San Qian Bai Fa rolled an Eighth Order Great Emperor, his power instantly drained.
"Why?"
The Thousand Threads Dao Master's face was grim as he looked at his subordinate, who had been reduced to a husk yet was still alive.
This subordinate had attacked him.
And it wasn't just one person; many were attacking him.
The subordinates he had brought with him had gone mad, disregarding everything, targeting everyone.
Betrayed, the Thousand Threads Dao Master was furious. "I treated you well all these years, why?"
He couldn't understand.
"Why?"
The Eighth Order Great Emperor's eyes were ferocious. "You liar, you are not from the Lower Ten Lands at all. You are from the Upper Nine Heavens, in league with those executioners. It was you who killed my younger brother back then."
