Wu Shattered Star River

The battle ended quickly, lasting only half an hour of intense fighting.

The result was devastating, with over a dozen Emperor-level and hundreds of King-level experts from the three races killed, mostly in battle.

Six King-level experts and five Emperor-level experts managed to escape. The three Great Clan Kings all had powerful treasures protecting them, allowing them to successfully flee. One Emperor-level expert from the Scorpion Demon Clan and one from the Blood Clan also escaped, while all the other Emperor-level experts were killed.

The Ancient God Starfield side suffered heavy losses, with only seven injured and one Tatar Clan Emperor-level expert killed, crushed by Zong Zheng's Yellow Bronze Seal.

This was a major victory.

After escaping, Zong Zheng and his group immediately withdrew from the Ancient God Starfield and fled at top speed.

The periphery was filled with scouts from various races, and the news was quickly discovered.

Moreover, many scouts had infiltrated the Ancient God Starfield during this time. There were many scouts from various races lurking around White Heron Mountain. How could such a massive battle not attract attention?

The news spread rapidly, and the entire world was in an uproar.

Due to his greed, Zong Zheng had rashly led the three races' experts into the Ancient God Starfield, resulting in near-total annihilation. More than nine Emperor-level experts and hundreds of King-level experts had fallen.

How could such a major event not cause a sensation?

In this world, Emperor-level experts were the most powerful beings, and each one was incredibly precious.

Even in the Heavenly Court, the sudden death of an Emperor-level expert would surely alarm the Jade Emperor, who would order an investigation into the cause of death.

The Heavenly Court openly bestowed titles upon only eighteen Emperor-level experts, including the Heavenly Emperor. Of course, many Emperor-level experts had not received titles, such as the old master of the Yu family from the Heavenly Shadow Pavilion, or the Heavenly Desert Immortal Emperor.

Including the hidden Emperor-level experts, the number was estimated to be several times higher, but even so, the Emperor-level experts belonging to the Heavenly Court did not exceed seventy.

The Devil's Cave, God King Mountain, and Myriad Buddha Temple were similar, with around seventy or eighty Emperor-level experts each. Now, with nine being killed at once, any faction would feel the pain.

The Devil Ancestor was furious. It was said that he shattered a large cave in the Devil King's Cave with a single palm strike, and hundreds of maids and guards were killed by him. The demons of the entire Devil's Cave trembled in fear.

While God King Mountain and the Heavenly Court gloated, they were also worried—would the demons give up their invasion because of this defeat?

God King Mountain and the Heavenly Court had reached a tacit agreement to sit back and watch the demons invade the Ancient God Starfield, letting the demons fight Jiang Hen Shui to the death and prevent the Azure Emperor from resurrecting.

The Azure Emperor's combat power was too strong. His resurrection would not benefit God King Mountain or the Devil's Cave.

It would actually benefit the Human Race, but the Jade Emperor and the Azure Emperor's faction were at odds. If the Azure Emperor did not die, the Jade Emperor's ruling position would be unstable.

Only when the Azure Emperor was completely dead would the experts of his faction completely bow their heads to the Jade Emperor…

There had actually been many arguments in the Hall of Universal Brightness. The Southern Heavenly Emperor and the Northern Heavenly Emperor had repeatedly petitioned the Jade Emperor to mobilize experts to aid the Ancient God Starfield.

The Jade Emperor did not appear. Yuqiu Yu came forward and explicitly rejected the request to send troops.

Yuqiu Yu's reason was—the Jade Emperor had given Jiang Hen Shui a chance. The Longevity Immortal Emperor had gone to Ancient God Lake, but Jiang Hen Shui refused to turn back.

Jiang Hen Shui was equivalent to a traitor. How could the Heavenly Court support a traitor?

This reason left the neutral faction speechless. The Southern Heavenly Emperor and the Northern Heavenly Emperor were also weak and isolated, unless they betrayed the Heavenly Court and went to the Ancient God Starfield.

Yuqiu Yu secretly sent people to monitor the families of all the experts in the Azure Emperor's faction. Any unusual movements could result in a large-scale encirclement and suppression.

Unless the experts of the Azure Emperor's faction were determined to launch a civil war, but with the Azure Emperor and Jiang Hen Shui both absent, there was no leader…

The Jade Emperor did not appear, but sent Yuqiu Yu to suppress the masses. The neutral faction did not dare to speak. The Hall of Universal Brightness was in turmoil every few days, but there were no results.

Half a month later, there was finally movement from the Devil's Cave!

The Devil Ancestor issued a Devil Contract—ordering the second-ranked Great Demon Blood Radiance and the fifth-ranked Great Demon Blood Funeral among the ten Demon Emperors of the Devil's Cave to lead thirty Emperor-level experts, two hundred Devil Kings, and a thousand Devil Sovereigns to attack the Ancient God Starfield.

Blood Radiance and Blood Funeral were both famous for their combat power throughout the world. Compared to the Heavenly Court, Blood Radiance's combat power was comparable to the Purple Micro Heavenly Emperor, and Blood Funeral was roughly comparable to the Western Heavenly Emperor.

Two great Heavenly Emperor-level experts, leading thirty Emperor-level experts, two hundred Devil Kings, and a thousand Devil Sovereigns. Even if the Demon Race didn't completely empty their nest, they had mobilized over half of their experts.

The Devil Ancestor was determined to succeed this time and would not withdraw his troops until the Ancient God Starfield was pacified.

At the same time, the Devil Ancestor emerged from the Devil's Cave, bringing five Great Demons whose combat power was comparable to the Heavenly Emperors, as well as more than thirty Emperor-level experts, and arrived at the God-Devil Battlefield, stationed in Devil City.

The Devil Ancestor's meaning was very clear—if the Heavenly Court's experts dared to move, he would directly lead his experts to invade the Heavenly Court and shatter the Hall of Universal Brightness.

At the same time!

God King Mountain made a move. The God Race mobilized more than thirty Emperor-level experts into the God-Devil Battlefield. Although they did not show any intention of targeting any side, the intention of deterrence was self-evident.

The Hall of Universal Brightness instantly fell silent…

The Southern Heavenly Emperor and the Northern Heavenly Emperor were both clear that the Heavenly Court could not send troops. If the Heavenly Court sent troops, the Demon Race and the God Race might jointly attack the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court would be in danger.

Not to mention that the Jade Emperor did not want to send troops, even if the Jade Emperor said he wanted to send troops, it was estimated that the neutral faction would dissuade him.

The neutral faction did not stand on any side, and everything was based on the interests of the Heavenly Court. What they cared about was the entire Heavenly Court, or more accurately, their own interests and the interests of their families.

……

Ancient God Starfield, Rakshasa Realm, White Heron Mountain!

After receiving the news, Heavenly Camel did not summon the experts of various races to discuss, but immediately entered Ancient God Lake to ask Jiang Hen Shui for instructions.

"Blood Radiance and Blood Funeral are coming?"

Jiang Hen Shui frowned upon hearing this. If it were just two ordinary Great Demons, he wouldn't care.

Blood Radiance was the third-ranked expert in the Devil's Cave, and his combat power was too strong. Even at his peak, he was no match for him, let alone now that his combat power had not recovered to its peak…

"General, what should we do?"

Heavenly Camel's expression was solemn. This situation was the most dangerous situation he had ever encountered in his life, and it was also the situation in which he felt the most powerless. It was not so dangerous even when he followed Jiang Hen Shui and the Azure Emperor to establish the Heavenly Court.

"You should evacuate!"

Jiang Hen Shui pondered for a moment and said, "Let all the Humans, Ancient Spirits, Tatars, and Flower Fairies evacuate into the Ancient God Tomb and find hidden secret realms to hide."

"All of you Emperor-level experts gather together and bide your time, constantly ambushing and weakening the enemy by using the terrain of the Ancient God Tomb and the Ancient God Starfield."

Heavenly Camel's eyes flickered, and he asked, "What about you?"

Since Blood Radiance and Blood Funeral had come, they would definitely not make a small fight, but would go straight to the source and enter Ancient God Lake to kill Jiang Hen Shui.

Although the terrain of Ancient God Lake was unique and could not accommodate too many experts, Blood Radiance and Blood Funeral were too strong. Even if only one of them came in, Jiang Hen Shui might not be able to withstand it.

If two came in, even if Jiang Hen Shui had the Azure Emperor Sword, he would surely die.

"Me?"

A hint of coldness appeared on the corner of Jiang Hen Shui's mouth, and he said lightly, "I'm going to… the Ancestral God Tomb. I will lure Blood Radiance and Blood Funeral in, at least one of them!"

"Ah?"

Heavenly Camel's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "General, you can't! The Ancestral God Tomb is too dangerous. If you go in, you will most likely perish inside. Even if you don't perish, you may be trapped inside for the rest of your life."

Ancestral God Tomb!

Buried inside were the Ancestral Gods of the Ancient God Race, the strongest beings in the world since the beginning of the era.

Many experts had entered the Ancestral God Tomb in history, but so far, not a single one was known to have come out!

Jiang Hen Shui's strength was very strong, but Heavenly Camel did not believe that he could walk out of the Ancestral God Tomb.

"Don't worry!"

Jiang Hen Shui's face showed confidence, and he said, "You may not know, but the Azure Emperor entered the Ancestral God Tomb and obtained part of the inheritance inside—the reason why the Azure Emperor's combat power is so strong is because he is a descendant of the Ancestral God."

"The Azure Emperor told me about the situation inside the Ancestral God Tomb. I am confident that I will not die inside. As for coming out? As long as the Azure Emperor can successfully resurrect, he will naturally be able to bring me out!"

"If Blood Radiance and Blood Funeral dare to follow me into the Ancestral God Tomb this time, I am confident that I will leave them there forever!"
