Boom.
The Cloud Heaven Realm was finished.
Even with the departure of Ao Shou, it was still twelve against nine.
For the Divine Heaven Realm, this was a sign of impending doom.
...
The moment the great battle erupted, Chen Fan and his group took action.
Leveraging the world power of the Azure Heaven Great World, they easily infiltrated it.
The Azure Heaven Great World was immensely vast.
The entire world was imbued with the aura of the Azure Heaven God, the scent of divinity, light and agile yet with a hint of dominance.
Beside him, Chu Laomo and the others trembled with excitement.
They were in.
Effortlessly.
Even now, they couldn't believe they had managed to infiltrate a seventh-tier Great World with such ease.
"What do we do next?" The world was so large, Chu Laomo and the others weren't sure where to begin.
"There."
Chen Fan pointed towards the sky.
Above the clouds, three colossal structures stood.
The Great Dao universe of Azure Heaven was still hidden, but it had to be in the most crucial location.
Of those three structures, one was quite familiar to them.
The Golden Willow Tree, it must be the Willow King's domain.
"Two sixth-tier."
Without even needing to sense them, the two had already emerged, their gazes fixed intently on the battle raging outside.
Of course, as a seventh-tier Great World, it wasn't lacking in fourth and fifth-tier cultivators.
At this moment, dozens of fifth-tier cultivators were observing the battle, with even more fourth-tier cultivators, a dense swarm that made their scalps tingle.
"This..."
Kuandi swallowed hard. "If we were surrounded, even a seventh-tier would perish here, wouldn't they?"
Of course, this was just speculation.
Could a seventh-tier be surrounded by a swarm of fourth and fifth-tier cultivators?
Impossible. Let alone catching them, a seventh-tier Great Emperor would have annihilated them long before any encirclement could form.
A seventh-tier cultivator could kill a fourth or fifth-tier with a single palm strike.
The gap was too immense to bridge.
"Prepare to act."
The group advanced swiftly.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the battle outside. No one suspected that a few tiny insects had infiltrated the Azure Heaven Great World.
...
"Prepare."
Having successfully infiltrated, Chen Fan raised his hand. "The Willow King seems to be absent. I'll handle that woman. You all must work together to tie down the other Heavenly Emperor for thirty seconds."
Thirty seconds was the time he estimated he would need to kill the sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor.
"Understood."
They would hold them back, even if it meant death.
Just as Chen Fan was about to make his move...
"All top-tier sixth-tier Heavenly Emperors in the Divine Heaven Domain, engage in battle..." The voice of the Divine Heaven Realm Lord echoed through all the Great Worlds.
Fighting on their home turf, the Divine Heaven Domain, despite lacking some Great Emperors, was not without a fighting chance.
A war of attrition, they could surely overwhelm the two Heavenly Emperors with sheer numbers.
Boom.
In the Azure Heaven Great World, the male sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor unleashed his aura.
He was a top-tier sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor, and he stepped out of his realm.
He went to join the fray.
In the battle for the realm, there could be no holding back.
Hesitation meant annihilation.
Cultivators had loved ones; they couldn't simply stand by and watch their realm be destroyed while they fled.
"Kill."
In an instant, over twenty top-tier sixth-tier Heavenly Emperors flew out.
"Hmph."
A fire dragon snorted coldly.
The giant dragon coiled in the sky, crushing two top-tier sixth-tier Heavenly Emperors mid-air: "A war of attrition is useless..."
"Hold him!"
Although he had killed two, he was immediately surrounded and restrained by the remaining top-tier sixth-tier Heavenly Emperors.
Simultaneously, in the distance, more top-tier sixth-tier Heavenly Emperors were rapidly approaching.
The Divine Heaven Domain was vast. These were merely the top-tier sixth-tiers from nearby. From the distant sixth-tier Great Worlds, there were also a considerable number of top-tiers.
"Make haste."
The Dragon King spoke.
They couldn't afford to be delayed. If they were entangled, it would be a disadvantageous situation for them.
"Yes."
The battle intensified further.
...
At the same time.
Within the Azure Heaven Great World, Chen Fan, who had just raised his hand, froze.
"This, this is too convenient?"
Knowing this side was troublesome, one of them had retreated?
Chu Laomo and the others wore strange expressions. It was truly a case of 'when you wish for a pillow, someone brings you one.'
"Only one remains."
Chen Fan licked his lips. "This one must be guarding the entrance to the Great Dao universe. Instant kill, then we directly infiltrate the Great Dao universe."
"Yes."
"Act."
...
Xiyu Heavenly Emperor was intently focused on the battle outside.
Suddenly, a crisis of death enveloped her.
Buzz.
Two strange dao powers, one of light and one of darkness, flickered before her eyes.
Everything in front of her instantly changed.
Yin-Yang Realm, shielded.
"Yin-Yang Dao, who is it?" Xiyu's hairs stood on end.
At this moment, someone had infiltrated the Azure Heaven Great World?
The Azure Heaven Great World had never been this weak. All its high-end combat power had either been killed or banished, and the rest were engaged in battle outside.
Currently, she was the sole guardian of the Great Dao entrance.
"Kill."
A figure appeared before Xiyu.
Demonic flames raged, and shadowy figures emerged from within, attacking Xiyu, a sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor.
"Fifth-tier?"
Xiyu was slightly taken aback.
Immediately, her tense heart relaxed. "A mere fifth-tier Heavenly Emperor dares to..."
"Kill."
Before she could finish her sentence, more figures materialized.
Overlord, Immortal Emperor, Kuandi... the three attacked from all directions.
"Two fourth-tiers, two fifth-tiers." With a single glance, Xiyu assessed the cultivation of the four.
Nothing special.
Xiyu sneered. "An ant trying to shake a tree! Azure Heaven God, break..."
A divine being emerged from Xiyu's body. The shimmering Azure Heaven God shattered the combined attack of the four with a single blow. "Trash..."
But the next moment, she froze.
A streak of yin and yang light swept across the Azure Heaven God.
"Swish."
The immensely powerful Azure Heaven God, her Great Dao power, had been... nullified.
"There's still one."
Suddenly, Xiyu's hairs stood on end.
That's right, there was still one who mastered the Yin-Yang Great Dao.
Unfortunately, her reaction was too late.
"Die."
Clang.
A long sword slashed down.
The long sword, imbued with yin and yang... the Myriad Dao Sword.
*Pfft.*
The long sword pierced directly into Xiyu's body, cleaving her physical form.
Her Great Dao exploded with a 'bang.'
In front of her, a figure emerged from the convergence of yin and yang.
Xiyu recognized him, her pupils rapidly constricting. "It's you..."
Yan Zhu was killed, Willow King banished, all because of this man before her.
*Bang.*
Xiyu died.
She didn't even have time to do anything. The Great Dao power within her had been wiped away by the yin and yang light.
"Heh."
Chen Fan grinned and said, "Kuandi, take the corpse. The physical body of a sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor is a treasure."
Kuandi chuckled and collected Xiyu's corpse.
She only absorbed energy and Great Dao power; she didn't eat corpses.
Xiyu died too quickly. The fourth and fifth-tier Heavenly Emperors in the distance hadn't even reacted before Xiyu was gone.
"Enemy attack!"
By the time they realized what was happening, it was already too late.
"Let's go."
Chen Fan let out a hearty laugh and tore open the sky above them.
That's right, this was the entrance to the Great Dao.
The group, without hesitation, plunged in.
*Swish.*
Inside the Great Dao universe, Great Dao power flowed like water.
So much of it.
"This is the Great Dao universe of a seventh-tier Great World?" Chen Fan's eyes widened.
Compared to this, the Life and Death Realm was like a pond versus a stream.
The accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years, indeed, was substantial.
