The Yin-Death Dao Master treads the path of Yin-Death.
Yin-Death and the Dark Lord are on good terms, and for now, they belong to the same faction.
The Dark Lord is almost certainly from the Upper Nine Heavens; he must be eliminated, and that task will be left to Yun Hai and the Mountain Lord.
The trouble in the Seventh Land should be handled by the Seventh Land itself.
As for the Yin-Death Dao Master, it is temporarily uncertain whether he is from the Upper Nine Heavens.
Things that are uncertain are left to themselves to handle.
After all, they will have to fight eventually.
As for whether to kill him in the end... that can be decided later.
...
Just as Chen Fan contacted the Mountain Lord and the Yun Hai Dao Master in succession.
News of their arrival also reached the ears of those in the shadows.
"Buzz."
Above the Dark Realm, a gigantic face materialized.
The will of the Yin-Death Dao Master descended.
"Received the news?" the Yin-Death Dao Master spoke directly.
"Mm."
The Dark Lord was entirely shrouded in darkness.
The Dao of Darkness and the Dao of Yin-Death shared the same origin.
"Are you truly from the Upper Nine Heavens?" the Yin-Death Dao Master questioned.
His tone this time was significantly more severe than before.
He had asked the Dark Lord this question many times.
"Sigh."
The Dark Lord rubbed his temples, "I am truly not from the Upper Nine Heavens. We are allies. If I were from the Upper Nine Heavens, even if I hid it from others, I wouldn't hide it from you."
The Yin-Death Dao Master pondered for a long moment before nodding. "I will explain to them. If that doesn't work, then we fight. Only this time... we will likely be in great trouble."
This time, the trouble was truly immense.
Before, they could handle the Yun Hai Dao Master and the Mountain Lord.
But now, the opponents had reinforcements.
"Then it's settled for now."
The Yin-Death Dao Master's expression was grave. "I need to go back and prepare."
"Mm."
The Dark Lord nodded.
Even after the Yin-Death Dao Master departed, the Dark Lord's brows remained furrowed.
He gazed towards the Yun Hai Realm, then towards the Mountain Lord's dojo, murmuring to himself, "The million-kalpa tribulation is about to arrive, can't you give me a little more time?"
No one heard his words.
Only he himself, after a long period of contemplation, the Dao of Darkness suddenly spread out.
"Buzz."
A fluctuation of energy slowly drifted out from the Seventh Land.
Upon leaving, this energy transformed into a figure and then, at the fastest speed, burrowed into the Sixth Land.
"Request for aid."
The situation was critical; he had to request aid.
The Seventh Land was as it was; only external power could counter external power.
"Yin-Death."
After sending out the plea for help, the Dark Lord's gaze turned towards the Yin-Death Realm. "I hope you make the right choice."
Boom.
Suddenly, a colossal aura emanated from an immeasurably distant direction.
The Dark Lord's gaze sharpened, looking towards the distant depths of chaos.
That was originally the Mountain Lord's dojo.
The Mountain Lord enjoyed sleeping, and might not leave his dojo once in hundreds of thousands of years.
But now, the Mountain Lord had emerged.
A majestic mountain appeared at the edge of his vision, suppressing heaven and earth.
Thump, thump, thump.
The accompanying footsteps made the Dark Lord's expression grow even more solemn.
The Mountain Lord had moved.
The towering giant mountain was approaching the Dark Realm at an incredibly fast pace.
"So fast?" the Dark Lord was shocked.
He had just sent out the distress signal, and the enemy had already arrived.
"Buzz."
The Mountain Lord's movement was merely the prelude.
Following closely was a turbulent sea of mist, the Yun Hai, like a gaping abyss, churning wildly and rolling towards the Dark Realm.
Its speed was extreme.
The goal of both was the Dark Realm.
"Not good."
The Dark Lord panicked.
Two Ninth-Rank beings were advancing towards the Dark Realm, which proved the other side's confidence.
Without a doubt, Chen Fan and the others must have gone to the Yin-Death Realm.
...
The Dark Lord remained silent for a long time.
The situation was indeed as he had surmised.
Before the Yun Hai and the Mountain Lord made their move, Chen Fan and his group were already heading towards the Yin-Death Realm.
Unbeknownst to anyone, two Ninth-Rank beings from the Sixth Land had silently left their dojos and were advancing towards the Seventh Land.
A great battle was about to commence.
...
This great battle involved more than just Ninth-Rank beings.
Within the rolling Yun Hai, figures radiating powerful auras stood.
Eighth-Rank, Seventh-Rank... all had followed their Dao Master.
It was the same on the Mountain Lord's side; all the Great Emperors had gathered and were advancing towards the Dark Realm.
"All Great Emperors."
The Dark Lord's voice resounded through heaven and earth.
In all the worlds belonging to the Dark Realm, the Dark Lord's voice was heard.
The power of darkness flowed through heaven and earth. "Crisis has arrived. Yun Hai and the Mountain Lord, in league with outsiders, are preparing to attack our Dark Realm and Yin-Death Realm. In this moment of life and death, all Great Emperors must gather and prepare to fight."
Boom.
The spirit of a Dao Master was undeniable; no one dared to disobey.
Powerful auras surged forth, and Great Emperors emerged from their worlds, converging towards the Dark Realm.
A crisis of life and death.
The Sixth Land had been in constant turmoil for years. The Dark Realm and Yin-Death Realm had joined forces, launching attacks on the Yun Hai Realm and the Mountain Lord's subordinates periodically.
Many powerhouses had perished in the Sixth Land over the past million years.
The two sides had long been irreconcilable enemies.
The defeated party would inevitably be purged.
Therefore... before the crisis arrived, no one dared to slack off.
Besides, they did not believe the Dark Lord was from the Upper Nine Heavens; it was merely slander from their enemies.
The Dark Lord had treated them very well over the years; how could he be from the Upper Nine Heavens?
At the same time, the Yin-Death Realm was also preparing for battle.
The atmosphere of the entire Sixth Land instantly became grim.
This great battle would sweep across the entire Sixth Land; no one could avoid it.
From all four directions they converged, ready to fight with all their might.
...
Three days.
This was the travel time.
On this day... outside the Dark Realm.
Boom.
The chaotic giant mountain descended.
The mountain was the Mountain Lord, and the Mountain Lord was the mountain.
The majestic mountain suppressed heaven and earth, its heavy aura churning the chaos.
The Mountain Lord stood atop the giant mountain, with the subordinate powerhouses who had accompanied him behind him. Over a hundred Great Emperors gathered, stirring up the chaotic winds.
"Dark Lord, come out."
The Mountain Lord's gaze surveyed all directions.
His aura alone induced a sense of suffocation.
Beneath the giant mountain, a continuously expanding vortex of chaos appeared, as if unable to withstand the pressure of the mountain.
Buzz.
The Dark Lord's figure materialized of its own accord.
Darkness descended, expelling the power of the earth.
The two forces intertwined and clashed... erupting into a destructive storm.
"Sigh."
The Dark Lord, upon emerging, sighed, "Mountain Lord, do you truly believe those outsiders?"
Honestly, the Dark Lord did not wish to fight.
The million-kalpa tribulation was fast approaching; he did not want his years of hidden schemes to go to waste.
"Tsk."
The Mountain Lord scoffed at the Dark Lord's demeanor. "Dark Lord, no matter what, you are a Ninth-Rank Dao Master of this realm, why feign such innocence? Do you think your true identity as someone from the Upper Nine Heavens can be hidden from this Mountain Lord?"
The Yun Hai churned, and the Yun Hai Dao Master arrived with his subordinate Great Emperors.
His vast aura disturbed the heavenly secrets. "The Mountain Lord is right, Dark Lord. You have been hidden in the Ten Lands for a million years, wasn't it all to seize more benefits when the million-kalpa tribulation arrives?"
"You don't need to explain. Today's battle is inevitable."
"After speaking lies for so long, you probably believe them yourself, don't you?"
The Dark Lord gave a bitter smile. "Since you two say so, it would be beneath me to make further excuses. Since that is the case, please state your demands. This Lord will accept them."
Behind the Dark Lord, Great Emperors began to appear.
