It turns out not everyone can face death calmly.
The powerful experts of the Upper Nine Heavens, when faced with death, also chose to surrender.
They were even willing to help the Lower Ten Earths counterattack the Upper Nine Heavens.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
This battle did not last long, but too many people died in the Tenth Earth.
Although some were resurrected, some could not be found and were completely scattered in this world.
Even a top-tier eighth-level expert of the Chaos Clan, who had already condensed a Dao Spirit, perished in this great battle, his spiritual light scattering and dissipating like smoke.
This made the Dragon King even more furious.
Besides the Dragon King, the Phoenix, and the Chaos Demonic Butterfly, whom they had finally managed to produce, perished just like that.
In his rage, the Dragon King ordered everyone to be killed.
He left behind the corpses and the power of the Great Dao, to nourish his subordinates, hoping to produce another ninth-level expert, even if they could condense a Dao Spirit.
After all, condensing a Dao Spirit was equivalent to opening the door to the ninth level.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed in the end.
The ninth level was not that easy to achieve.
"Alas."
Finally, with the Dragon King's disappointed sigh, this war ended.
All enemies perished.
And a day had passed.
On this day, the mighty gathered.
Chen Fan, Evil Lord, Dragon King, Zhan, Ping Xi, Sword Master, Guang Ming, Illusion Sect, Phoenix… these were all the powerhouses of the Tenth Earth.
Nine ninth-level experts.
Most others were cultivating, seizing the time to recover.
Everyone knew that even tougher battles awaited them.
"It's time to set off."
It was Chen Fan who spoke again.
No one had ever dared to challenge his position as the leader.
A leader… did not just need combat strength, but more importantly, the ability to inspire faith.
Ping Xi and the Dragon King were insufficient in this regard.
Only Chen Fan could earn everyone's respect, as he had resurrected so many people under the two Dao Masters.
"..."
The crowd did not respond.
They had long guessed the purpose of this gathering.
They also knew that Chen Fan was not one to wait for death, and would eventually launch an offensive from the Tenth Earth.
"How many are going?" the Dragon King asked.
Everyone's gaze turned towards him.
"..."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "All the Great Emperors will go."
"Hiss."
A synchronized gasp arose.
This was gambling everything.
Chen Fan understood their thoughts and had to explain: "If the Lower Ten Earths are all refined, do you think the Tenth Earth can still exist?"
"Also… we are likely on the Upper Nine Heavens' kill list. No matter what, we cannot escape this war. Since that is the case, why not wager everything and strive for a chance?"
"Even if we are weaker than ants, we must show the arrogant Upper Nine Heavens experts the madness of ants."
This was all he could do.
"Understood."
Ping Xi nodded, "Since you want to go mad, I will accompany you."
"Agreed."
The Dragon King also agreed.
"Good."
Chen Fan stood up and said, "Gather the troops. There is no time to delay. Let's head to the Ninth Earth immediately."
Rumble.
The wind and clouds stirred.
Sword Master was also busy, summoning all the experts under him.
This time, the Sword Realm had suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, the Sword Realm's main base was still in the Tenth Earth, otherwise, the losses would have been even greater.
A series of auras soared into the sky.
All the Great Emperors quickly converged.
They lacked the orderly discipline of soldiers, but their fighting spirit soared.
"Everyone."
Chen Fan stepped forward.
His figure stood tall and straight like a pine tree, as if he could support a world.
He represented everyone's faith.
His voice boomed, "The myriad kalpas have arrived. In the eyes of the Upper Nine Heavens, we are all leeks to be harvested, treasures for alchemy. They refine worlds and do not value our lives."
"Since that is the case, I, the City Lord, will lead you to charge into the Upper Nine Heavens."
"Let us overturn this world and see if those people truly have the right to be so arrogant. Brothers, are you willing to shatter the heavens with me?"
"Kill."
A unified chorus, like an erupting volcano.
Intense fighting spirit and unwillingness filled the sky.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
"Why are we ants?"
"Why are our lives not lives, and why must we be inferior?"
"Break this world..."
The sounds rolled like a great wave.
Among them, the most excited were the powerhouses of the Realm of Life and Death, who had long yearned to follow their City Lord to shatter the heavens.
Their faith was solely in their City Lord.
They were willing to follow their City Lord to break this world.
"Kill, kill, kill."
The roars continued, boiling with blood.
In the rear, Zhan unconsciously sighed, "The Heavenly Emperor was like this back then..."
Unknowingly, he had placed this person on the same level as the Heavenly Emperor.
There was no other way, this young man was too outstanding.
"Brothers."
Chen Fan issued the final imperial decree, "March."
"March."
"March."
"March."
The army set off.
"Roar."
The Dragon King transformed into his true form, his colossal golden dragon body pushing back the chaos.
He charged towards the barrier of the Tenth Earth, pushing forward with ferocious might, leading the army.
Whoosh.
The chaotic wind blew into the Tenth Earth.
The stone road connecting the Ninth and Tenth Earths still existed, though it was somewhat dilapidated, bearing more traces of battle.
These traces were left behind by Sword Master and his companions during their escape.
And even more hidden traces, like the imprints of time, remained here.
A dense army rushed out of the Tenth Earth and arrived at the edge of the Ninth Earth.
"Boom."
The Dragon King slammed into it.
The realm barrier, which could have been easily torn apart, merely rippled before calming down.
"The Ninth Earth has been sealed."
Zhan walked up and said, "They are currently in the process of refining. Chu Huo intends to refine the entire Ninth Earth."
"So… it's not over yet?" Chen Fan asked.
"Naturally."
Zhan nodded, "Refining a world is not a simple matter, it takes time."
"Beings, Great Dao, Chaos, Spirits… all of it is spoils of war. After refinement, only a pit devoid of chaos will remain in the Ninth Earth, and it will slowly recover over time."
"Hiss."
Chen Fan inhaled sharply.
Then, he said, "Then we'll break in."
Since the refinement was not complete, they still had a chance.
"Good."
No one objected.
"Act."
Boom.
The nine ninth-level experts attacked together.
Amidst the booming sounds, the sealed barrier of the Ninth Earth began to be torn open.
...Great Wind Novel Network
Inside the Ninth Earth.
The once lively Ninth Earth had long since become a living hell.
"Come."
A ninth-level expert raised his hand.
In the distance, a seventh-level world flew over, beginning to decompose as it flew.
The power of the world dispersed in all directions, absorbed by the sun-like brilliant figures above.
Dense beings fell out of the world and were annihilated by a raise of a hand.
Essence blood scattered, and the Great Dao permeated.
The power surged into the surroundings, entering the light shield that enveloped this world.
Many people were engaged in this act.
The people of the Lower Ten Earths were like ants in their eyes.
