Tianfang Has Revived Again!

The Fire Phoenix Realm. There was still some time before the appointed duel, and at this moment, the Fire Phoenix Realm was on the move, shifting toward the Thunder Realm's territory. Within the city in the sky, the Fire Phoenix Realm Lord had also received the news and was somewhat surprised. "The Earth Dragon World actually advanced to the seventh rank... Furthermore, Feng Yan, that External Affairs Elder you took in earlier is also heading in that direction. His information travels quite fast, it seems." The external affairs Sovereigns of the Fire Phoenix Realm were all tracked. Li Hao had known this, and he had previously left the source of the tracking inside a phantom realm. Now, the Black Panther had returned and taken the phantom realm with it. Making no attempt to hide its movements, it had headed straight for the Earth Dragon World, naturally exposing its location. Beside her, the dragon elder remarked in surprise, "The Earth Dragon World advanced... That is truly unexpected." The Fire Phoenix Realm Lord nodded as well. It was indeed unexpected. However, she had no time to visit right now. With the encirclement of the Thunder Realm imminent, not only was she unable to leave, but the seventh-rank dragon elder in the realm and the other seventh-rank phoenix elder could not leave either. Only with three seventh ranks would they have absolute certainty of taking the Thunder Realm. As for the other major worlds nearby, it was best if they didn't have to intervene; if they did, great disputes would arise over ownership of the Thunder Realm. "Has that black dog Sovereign refined the sixth-rank world already? Leaving so soon... Even though the Dragon Domain imposes no travel restrictions, that is directly subordinate to the Dragon World after all. Heading over rashly might cause trouble." Earlier, she had considered having the black dog capture the human faith cultivator the Dragon Lord had ordered an arrest for, yet this fellow had run off instead. The Fire Phoenix Realm Lord spoke, "In that case... Feng Yan, the advancement of the Earth Dragon World is a grand occasion within our Dragon Domain. I have no time to offer congratulations in person, so you shall go in my stead to congratulate the Earth Dragon Sovereign! Once I have conquered the Thunder Realm, you may return." With two forces poised for battle, caution was warranted. It was best if her daughter did not participate in the war. Previously, there had been no suitable excuse, but now that the other world had advanced, it was a major joyous event in the chaos. That place was safer, and the Earth Dragon Sovereign—a seventh rank—was present. The Earth Dragon Sovereign knew Feng Yan's identity. She was the Dragon Lord's daughter. He would naturally protect Feng Yan. With the black dog, an External Affairs Elder, heading there, Feng Yan following along was perfectly natural and reasonable. That way, the other Sovereigns within the Fire Phoenix Realm would not gossip either. "Mother..." Sovereign Feng Yan felt conflicted. With a great war looming and her mother set to fight the Thunder Emperor, leaving now... wouldn't that make her a deserter? "A world's advancement is a momentous affair. Our Dragon Domain has not produced a new seventh-rank world in many years! The other seventh ranks and I have pressing matters that prevent us from leaving; only you can represent our Fire Phoenix Realm! And you won't be alone. This time, Sovereigns from many other great worlds will surely go to offer congratulations..." At this point, she added, "If there is an opportunity, you can observe the newly born Great Dao universe. The Earth Dragon Sovereign will surely not refuse your request to inspect it, and we have no need to seize his universe." Because she looked down on it. Her daughter would advance only by using the Great Dao universe of the Thunder Realm! And become the next Lord of the Thunder Realm! Feng Yan wanted to say more, but the Fire Phoenix Realm Lord made the final decision. "Go! This is an important task. The Earth Dragon Sovereign is a seventh-rank Sovereign; be polite when you meet him, as it will benefit you in the future." These words carried profound meaning. Beside them, the elderly dragon chuckled and nodded. "Princess Feng Yan may go with peace of mind. Give him my regards. Earth Dragon is straightforward and fairly easy to deal with, and you will have opportunities to interact with him in the future." Feng Yan looked at the two of them. After a long moment, she nodded somewhat dejectedly. She had been prepared to take the field personally. A peak sixth-rank Sovereign was fully qualified to participate in the battle. Alas, her mother refused to allow it. Seeing that Feng Yan had agreed, the Fire Phoenix Realm Lord smiled, then frowned slightly and said, "When you arrive, warn that black dog Sovereign that there are rules in the Dragon Domain! Sovereigns of the Fire Phoenix Realm must not cross borders recklessly! For this journey, do not take native Sovereigns of the Fire Phoenix Realm; take some external affairs Sovereigns with you to guard your safety along the way..." "Mother, is that really necessary? I'm already at the peak of the sixth rank..." "It is necessary!" the Fire Phoenix Realm Lord said. "Were the circumstances not as they are, you would have had a large contingent of middle-rank Sovereigns escorting you and clearing the path..." Because she was the Dragon Lord's daughter! Grandeur was required. This was also her first time visiting the Dragon World's territory and interacting with top-tier powerhouses of that region; they could not allow Earth Dragon to look down on her. Were it not for the imminent threat of the Thunder Realm, the seventh-rank elder of the Fire Phoenix Realm would have accompanied her to highlight her status and showcase the might of the Fire Phoenix Realm! Taking a miscellaneous bunch of external affairs Sovereigns was already somewhat embarrassing; taking none at all would be even more disgraceful! Fortunately, the black dog was already there. As a fifth rank, it provided a bit of face at least. Sovereign Feng Yan considered it and ultimately did not refuse—nor could she. She only wondered why her mother would have her leave when the Thunder Realm was right before them, just because a seventh-rank Sovereign over by the Dragon World had advanced his world. True, she wasn't a seventh rank and couldn't be a decisive factor, but her mother seemed to place far too much importance on unrelated Sovereigns. Though puzzled, she said nothing more. Soon, Sovereign Feng Yan departed. Once she had left, the Fire Phoenix Realm Lord turned to the two seventh ranks beside her and said, "Word vaguely came from the Dragon Lord telling me to be careful... It seems he has sent someone back. Apparently, he still doesn't quite trust us to handle this." She felt rather helpless. The Thunder Realm had been reduced to such a state, yet the Dragon Lord was still uneasy. Was he overestimating the Thunder Lord, or... did he think she was incompetent? Three seventh ranks besieging a seventh-rank world that had been starved of resources for years—if they still couldn't conquer it, he was underestimating her far too much. Moreover, the interior of the Thunder Realm was like a sieve; she had planted many operatives inside. According to the intelligence received from within, those Sovereigns still hadn't obtained any Great Dao crystals and remained in dire straits. …… On this day, numerous Sovereigns began heading toward the Earth Dragon World. Not only Sovereigns from the vicinity of the Dragon World, but also experts from other major worlds—among the twelve great worlds of the Chaos Alliance, aside from the Dragon World, even experts from the other eleven great worlds situated far away rushed over to offer congratulations. A world's advancement was different from an individual reaching the seventh rank. A world reaching the seventh rank meant one thing: you could establish your own faction. Yes, a faction! With a Great Dao universe, you could cultivate Sovereigns. Without one, cultivating Sovereigns was exceedingly difficult. Medium worlds could produce Sovereigns, but the question was: without a Great Dao universe, who would be willing to join a medium world? At the very least, you could not attract truly powerful figures! Even if the realm lord was a seventh rank, it was useless! Only when a Great Dao universe was born would even sixth-rank Sovereigns be willing to seek refuge under you. Take the Red Moon World, for instance. When the world still existed, even seventh ranks were willing to pledge allegiance—though very few. But now that the Red Moon Sovereign had become an unattached rogue, even low-rank Sovereigns couldn't be bothered to follow him. There was no great benefit in it! This was the difference between a seventh-rank world and a seventh-rank individual: one could nurture others, while the other was merely strong on their own. …… The Earth Dragon World. Ripples of the Great Dao continuously spilled forth, and the phantom of the Earth Dragon still blanketed heaven and earth. It was created by burning some of the Earth Dragon Sovereign's essence blood, bones, and flesh, forging a false facade. No one would ever imagine that, completely in silence, this seventh-rank Sovereign had been hunted down and killed. Those with such capability were all in plain view. A seventh-rank Sovereign in the heart of the Dragon Domain—with the Thunder Lord and the five demon lords staying in their lairs, and powerhouses like Neo Martial and Chiyang still locked in battle, who would dare come here to hunt Earth Dragon? At this moment, five days had passed since the ripples of the Great Dao universe first began spreading. Ten days had also passed since the one-month deadline had been set. Around the Earth Dragon World, many chaos beasts were already circling, yet none dared approach; they merely watched from a distance. Several nearby sixth-rank worlds had arrived early on, and even the now-empty Tianhuang World had been dragged over to maintain the illusion. Inside the world, the Silver Moon Sovereigns stood waiting. Soon, Qian Wuliang's figure flickered into view. "Marquis, twenty-seven realm lords have arrived in the vicinity. Some brought their worlds, while others did not. There are three sixth-rank Sovereigns, three fifth-rank Sovereigns, nine fourth-rank Sovereigns, and the rest are low-rank Sovereigns!" The proportion of middle-rank Sovereigns was very high. Because this was the core of the Dragon World's territory, the closer one was to the Dragon World, the higher the world rank. Thus, those who had arrived so far were from worlds located very close by; within the vastness of chaos, five days of travel covered a relatively small radius. For these middle- and low-rank Sovereigns to arrive within five days meant they were already situated in this region. "Fifteen middle-rank Sovereigns and twelve low-rank Sovereigns... No, perhaps there are other Sovereigns inside the medium worlds. In other words, twenty-seven worlds have arrived... correct?" "Yes!" Qian Wuliang nodded. Indeed, this count was only for the worlds. Generally, when chaos beasts moved, they brought their worlds along; otherwise, they might even forget where they had left their world. Moreover, if they didn't bring their world and no Sovereign remained inside, a passing Sovereign might swallow it on a whim. Would you even know who ate it? You wouldn't. If someone gulped it down, you wouldn't even have a place to weep. As long as they could carry them, these chaos beasts were willing to bring their worlds. The few Sovereigns who didn't brought none only because other Sovereigns remained in their realms. If Sovereigns slaughtered one another, the Dragon Lord would intervene, but below the Sovereign rank... even if they all died, no one would care. There were too many of them to look after. "It's about time to harvest a batch. We can't let too many gather!" Li Hao said, "There are nearly thirty worlds. We'll harvest them first, or else more and more will gather later! The Great Dao universe has them all covered, right?" "It covers them completely!" Qian Wuliang clicked his tongue in amazement, unable to resist saying, "The Marquis is truly wise. In the other three regions, everyone knows it's extremely dangerous to be blanketed by a Great Dao universe. But here, these fellows actually see it as an opportunity. With pure Great Dao power spilling out, each of them actively draws closer..." Li Hao laughed. "It's normal. That's a drawback of a unified royal authority... Everyone assumes that all is peaceful within their borders, and that when a Great Dao universe is born and leaks Great Dao power, it is a chance to absorb it..." It was completely natural! Just like within the Silver Moon World, if Great Dao power spilled from near Li Hao's palace, would his subordinates keep away out of fear of danger? Of course not! They would excitedly absorb some nearby to take advantage of the opportunity, trusting that Li Hao would not harm them. It was the same principle. This was the Dragon Lord's territory, and in the eyes of these chaos beasts, the Dragon Lord was an invincible hegemon, a Saint among chaos beasts. Who would ever suspect danger near the Dragon World? Li Hao's eyes grew cold and sharp. "Be mindful of danger in times of peace—I hope everyone remembers this principle forever! Chaos beasts have lived in comfort in the Dragon Domain for far too long, so let us remind them that this world is, after all, one where humans are stronger!" "Since the Great Dao universe has already enveloped them... then... strike! Everyone, enter the Great Dao universe!" In an instant, the Great Dao universe split open. One Sovereign after another swiftly entered the Great Dao universe. At this moment, those worlds were right nearby, enveloped directly by the Great Dao universe. With the Great Dao universe present, things became far simpler—they could descend directly! A single thunderous strike would suffice! "Move out!" The River of the Great Dao churned, and the group rapidly surged forward. This time, they were no longer picking them off one by one, but striking simultaneously. Not a single one of these twenty-plus worlds would escape! …… Here, there were three sixth-rank worlds, excluding Tianhuang. Among these three, Li Hao would descend upon one, Kongji upon another, and the remaining one was left to the two Dao Lords. As for the rest, the low-rank worlds would be dealt with by the Silver Moon Sovereigns. The remaining medium worlds would be targeted by Tianji and the others, who would spearhead the assault on several, while the rest would be mopped up by Li Hao and the others after crushing their opponents. At this moment, Silver Moon's shortage of middle-rank Sovereigns showed its drawback. Once they dispersed their forces, they lacked sufficient spearhead strength. Near the Earth Dragon World. The Cold Cicada World. This was a sixth-rank world whose realm lord was a chaos cicada, quite rare even in the chaos. Although it cultivated the Chaos Dao, it specialized in the unique Dao of Sound Waves. When its cicada chirps rang out, opponents were often killed instantly before they could even react. Above the world, this colossal cold cicada was greedily absorbing Great Dao power, filled with joy. A newly born Great Dao universe had such abundant power, and best of all, the owner couldn't even control its leakage. Over the past few days, it had absorbed to its heart's content. It felt fantastic! Were it not for its wariness toward the Earth Dragon Sovereign, it would have even wanted to enter the Great Dao universe to take a look... because for the first time, it could sense the existence of a Great Dao universe so clearly, right above its head! It was so close! So close that it wanted to tear open the void and step right inside. Alas... Earth Dragon was a seventh-rank Sovereign after all, and it dared not be too brazen. As it was greedily siphoning Great Dao power, it suddenly sensed a tremor from the Great Dao universe. It felt puzzled: was there movement within the Great Dao universe? Just as the thought crossed its mind, a figure appeared directly above its head. Li Hao sighed inwardly as well! How greedy! With a Great Dao universe right above your head, you dare absorb Great Dao power down below... Did you really think my Great Dao power was free? There is no free lunch in this world! If you don't even understand that... you deserve to die! Without a word—and with no words needed—a long sword appeared in Li Hao's hand: the Cangqiong Sword. It was no longer a fourth-rank Sovereign weapon, but had already advanced to the fifth rank! A thousand worlds converged, destructive power surged, and his Dao domain pressed down like a chaotic lightning tribulation descending! In an instant, the sword struck! The Dao domain suppressed the sixth-rank Sovereign. Before the creature could gather its wits or even react—the distance was simply too close—a mournful cicada cry rang out! Boom! Thunderous destruction erupted, as if the world itself were shattered. With a cleaving strike, a loud snap sounded as the creature was sliced directly in two. The moment its Dao source emerged, a wave of the sword shattered it completely, and vast chaotic energy spilled forth. Until its death, it never understood... why? And not just it! In that very instant, battles erupted across multiple worlds simultaneously. While Li Hao was fast, Kongji over on the other side was no slower. In a flash, he froze and extinguished a sixth-rank Sovereign! Grand Nirvana erupted, and a punch from the Six Daos Fist blew a colossal chaos beast to pieces! The current Kongji possessed a bit more ruthlessness and savagery than in the past. He had never used the Six Daos Divine Fist before. He had preferred methods that looked grand and elevated, such as Grand Nirvana, interwoven light and dark, and drawing upon life and death. But ever since trading blows with the Earth Dragon beast, Kongji had learned a truth: even a lion hunting a rabbit must use all its strength, lest it capsize in an unassuming gutter. He opened directly with the Six Daos Divine Fist, capable of shattering a seventh-rank Sovereign's physical body. That pitiful sixth-rank Sovereign didn't even have time to scream before being pulverized, perishing on the spot! Several other worlds had not yet been attacked. Seeing battles suddenly erupt in the distance, their occupants were still dazed when, in the next moment, Li Hao and Kongji teleported directly above two fifth-rank worlds. This was the utility of a Great Dao universe! Otherwise, there were distances separating these worlds; for Sovereigns to travel between them would take time. But with a Great Dao universe covering the area, they could teleport instantly! Of course, this also carried a risk: it made it easy to expose the Great Dao universe's location, allowing strong experts to invade it easily! Yet Li Hao and Kongji clearly didn't care. The two manifested in an instant. The fifth-rank Sovereigns of the two worlds didn't even have time to retreat; in the blink of an eye—killing a sixth rank was effortless, let alone a fifth rank—it was an absolute curb-stomp! Crack! The fifth-rank Sovereign before him was fragile as paper, cleanly slain by Li Hao's sword! Only then did screams begin to erupt in the surroundings! Sovereigns roared frantically, yet their cries could not spread outward at all. This was the chaos, and the surrounding Great Dao universe concealed everything... In the distance, the Silver Moon Sovereigns roared in wild excitement. This time, most of them were utilizing force! Yuan Shuo had said that force grew primarily through battle at this stage. These Sovereigns had taken the advice to heart and unleashed their might. Some fought evenly, while others were slightly weaker than their opponents, yet all were thrilled! By now, some Sovereigns snapped back to their senses and wailed shrilly, "Humans! Enemy attack..." It was too fast! They didn't even know what was happening before being ambushed, and several sixth-rank Sovereigns had been slain in the blink of an eye—it was utterly terrifying! Li Hao paid no heed to their wails, instead looking into the distance. Over there... death aura rose as Lin Hongyu swiftly executed a Sovereign and proceeded toward the next world, while the slain Sovereign converged into the darkness behind her. The Hell of Death! These Sovereigns were reviving. On Lin Hongyu's side, the more she killed, the more troops she gained. Although these Sovereigns could not maintain their combat power for long at present, they were an immense aid in the short term. Kill one, gain one guard! Lin Hongyu had truly figured out the Dao of Death. Li Hao even wondered: if the Sovereigns he killed could also be revived... that would be astounding. After all, he had killed the Earth Dragon beast, Qishui, and the seventh-rank Sovereigns of Red Moon... If he could do the same, wouldn't that mean he would have three seventh-rank Sovereigns under his command right now? Of course, there seemed to be restrictions. Specifically, it only seemed to work on those she killed herself. Li Hao's mind stirred. Ignoring the others, he vanished instantly and descended in front of Lin Hongyu the next moment. Lin Hongyu was startled. Li Hao took hold of her and vanished again, appearing in the blink of an eye above the final sixth-rank world. At that moment, the two Dao Lords were besieging their opponent and already held the upper hand. It was an immense bear! The moment Li Hao appeared, he said nothing. His long sword manifested and struck, destructive energy bursting forth with a thunderous roar. The giant bear was pierced straight through, yet it didn't die, thrashing violently! "Deliver the finishing blow!" Li Hao said. Lin Hongyu said nothing. Gripping her blood-red scimitar, she manifested instantly and slashed down. Death energy erupted with a roar, severing its body; another slash shattered its erupting Dao source. Li Hao watched silently. After waiting a moment, he looked at Lin Hongyu. Lin Hongyu shook her head. "Turning it into an undead guard doesn't work this way. There are rules in the chaos, or rather, rules in the Great Dao. I can turn them into undead, but only on the condition that... the fatal wound is inflicted by my Dao of Death!" Li Hao pondered. "You mean, as long as I trap it and let you attack it until it dies, it can become your undead guard?" "Yes, but... it can't be too strong!" Lin Hongyu added, "Although they don't require my active control, they must remain within the range of my Hell of Death. An entity that is too powerful would burst my Hell of Death... Then not only would it fail to become my undead guard, but the others would be destroyed along with it! Right now, I am only at the third rank, so I can probably only support fourth-rank Sovereigns..." There were limits. Li Hao frowned, but soon relaxed. If there were no limits, it would be too terrifying. The Dao of Life and Death... no, the Dao of Death alone would dominate heaven and earth! If you killed one, or simply picked up the corpse of a ninth-rank Sovereign, wouldn't you become invincible on the spot? "What a pity!" Li Hao said with regret. "There were three sixth ranks here... Too bad we missed them." Then he asked, "Do you have any feeling about reaching the fourth rank?" "Slaughter!" Lin Hongyu replied bluntly. "The more strong foes killed, the denser the death energy... Many Sovereigns have died recently, and I vaguely feel it's coming soon. Once this batch of Sovereigns is completely slain and I absorb their death energy... I might have a chance to enter the fourth rank. For the Dao of Death, slaughter is the best method of comprehension and the optimal path to advancement!" Yet such opportunities probably only existed at Li Hao's side; in a short span of time, too many Sovereigns had been killed! "That's good. I hope you advance to the fourth rank soon... Once you enter the fourth rank, you might be able to control sixth-rank Sovereigns... Then we will have an army of death!" Li Hao smiled. "What we lack right now is backbone strength. Though Kongji and I can battle seventh ranks, we are still no match for true seventh ranks. A seventh-rank great world doesn't just have a seventh-rank Sovereign; it also has a large number of middle-rank Sovereigns... and we lack that kind of strength!" Currently, they had only conquered small and medium worlds. Great worlds could have close to a hundred Sovereigns! A place like the Fire Phoenix Realm was terrifying, with several hundred Sovereigns, though many were external affairs Sovereigns. Back when they attacked the four great worlds, over thirty Sovereigns from Senlan joined the fight, and a bunch of them died. Without the Senlan Sovereigns tying down those enemy Sovereigns, taking the Red Moon World back then would have been difficult. Many ants can bite an elephant to death, and Sovereigns were certainly no ants. At present, Li Hao had no trouble dealing with a single sixth rank, but if three to five, seven to eight, or even more fifth- and fourth-rank Sovereigns teamed up against him, even he would struggle. "Understood..." Lin Hongyu smiled, her mood instantly brightening! She, too, had realized this. It meant that walking the Dao of Death was useful—immensely useful. Although she couldn't help in high-end battles for now, once she reached the fourth rank, slain sixth ranks might become her death guards. When that time came, while she couldn't dominate the high-rank battlefield, on the middle- and low-rank battlefields... the Dao of Death would be invincible! The numbers would only multiply with each kill! Currently, she hadn't felt any limit. She wasn't sure exactly how many she could control; at this moment, six or seven Sovereigns followed behind her, though their strength wasn't particularly high. Glancing at the Queen in the distance, who was frantically swaying minds again, Lin Hongyu sneered inwardly. A creature who merely repeated the words of others! All she knew was taking cheap advantages. Misleading human faith was hardly an orthodox path; she was merely needed for now. If the day came when Silver Moon stood supreme in the chaos, how could Li Hao ever allow such a deity to exist throughout the chaos? Wouldn't that turn all of humanity into believers? Of course... the Dao of Death was hardly better: killing people, empowering herself, strengthening herself... These Daos were unconventional and not considered orthodox. Yet these unconventional Daos seemed to grow stronger even faster. However... what surprised Lin Hongyu even more was that in the distance, a fellow with mediocre talent and little courage, who had virtually no distinguishing traits aside from flattering others... At this moment, his aura surged, stepping from the first rank into the second rank. The second rank was nothing extraordinary, but his speed was remarkably fast! …… In the distance. Hu Qingfeng shouted once more, "I invite the King to descend upon the world, to slay demons and vanquish monsters!" A phantom manifested—an illusory Li Hao appeared and slashed with a sword. Though it lacked the true body's power, this strike was by no means weak; the second-rank Sovereign before him was actually slain by this single blow! It was like... the folk rituals of summoning a great spirit. A spirit-invoking art! Hu Qingfeng's aura fluctuated, and he soon officially stepped into the second rank. The radiance in his eyes grew increasingly intense and pious as he looked toward Li Hao's true self in the distance, as if looking upon a god! The Queen... she was a false god. The true god was this man. In his eyes, Li Hao was no longer human, but a deity... It wasn't that he had never seen stronger beings, but Li Hao had slain seventh ranks. What was more, Li Hao was only in his twenties! Ever since the day he condensed his Great Dao, Hu Qingfeng had been utterly captivated. Today, he was submerged so deeply he couldn't pull himself out. In his eyes, whether in the present or the future, Li Hao was bound to be the foremost figure—the foremost god—in all of chaos! Emerging from a world that wasn't even ranked, building the entire Silver Moon system in just a few short years, boasting over fifty Sovereigns, and even battling high-rank Sovereigns—that was truly incredible! …… Over on the other side, Li Hao felt helpless. Damn it! Every time he saw this guy use his Great Dao, he felt uncomfortable. "Like a charlatan!" Li Hao was speechless. In the distance, Kongji, having destroyed several worlds, flashed over with a bright smile. "Fascinating! That fellow's Dao is growing more and more profound! I really never imagined it could work like this... In that virtual universe of yours, aren't you planning to build myriad worlds? With his Dao, I think you could establish a world—truly, it's quite unique. Didn't you mention before that you needed worlds of gods and devils? His Dao could be called the God Realm... If nothing else, a single Dao that invokes a god into oneself... is simply incredible!" "And Lin Hongyu's Dao could forge a Death Realm. Your master, with that monster-like force spirit who calls himself an Old Devil, could establish a Devil Realm in my view!" "It's really getting more and more interesting. You Silver Moon martial masters are far more intriguing than I imagined!" Li Hao chuckled. "It's just a plan; you're taking it seriously." "Why shouldn't I?" Kongji laughed. "Having a plan is a good thing. If you really build myriad Daos and myriad worlds in the future, save a world for me... Let me see... How about building a Six Daos Realm?" "A Six Daos Realm?" Li Hao couldn't help laughing. "How would you build that? Your Daos are all dual polarities: light and dark, life and death, nirvana and revival... Build a Six Daos Realm my foot." "Then..." Kongji felt a bit deflated. "True. What a pity. You said the Human Realm would encompass myriad Daos, so my Six Daos Realm wouldn't be anything special..." Shaking his head, he felt a slight sense of regret. Li Hao smiled. "The power of the Six Daos is not simple. Opening a single realm might not produce anyone capable of learning it, and even if living beings are born there, they might not inherit it! Instead... why not open a region among these myriad worlds... Not a realm, but a domain, serving as a crossroads where myriad worlds meet, communicate, and slaughter one another... Life and death, nirvana and revival, light and dark are all well-suited for combat..." "Oh?" Kongji was surprised, then quickly laughed. "Now that sounds interesting! Still, if that's the case, six Daos are a bit too few. Where myriad races converge, even if we don't have all myriad Daos, having a mere six Daos would be rather embarrassing..." He teased lightly. Six Daos were quite a lot, but if they really built a crossroads for myriad worlds as Li Hao suggested, having a mere six Daos... wouldn't the myriad worlds laugh at them? Li Hao also laughed heartily. "Then expand it, Brother Kongji... Six Daos are hardly your endpoint!" "True enough!" Kongji laughed, and the two chatted and laughed merrily. The surroundings gradually quieted down. One Silver Moon Sovereign after another dragged worlds toward this area, each beaming with excitement. Quite a few first-rank Sovereigns had now crossed into the second rank. This time, they had harvested dozens more worlds. Li Hao spoke up, "Clean up the battlefield quickly and leave no traces! Merge phantom realms with real realms, traverse the River of Memory, and impersonate the realm lords of each world to maintain the appearance that the worlds still exist here... No one must suspect anything!" The worlds couldn't be swallowed right now. If they were swallowed, someone arriving later would see... 'I'm the first one here?' That would be blatantly impossible! These worlds would be kept for now. Currently, five sixth-rank worlds were gathered here, including Tianhuang and Earth Dragon, along with three fifth-rank worlds, nine fourth-rank worlds, and a bunch of low-rank worlds... Looking at these worlds, Li Hao felt quite delighted. "Continue observing. Before the worlds exceed thirty, strike and clear them out! I want to sweep up every world in the Dragon World's territory in one net!" …… While Li Hao was frantically harvesting over there... At the Thunder Realm: The Thunder Lord had also received word that the Earth Dragon World had stepped into the seventh rank. Was that possible? Impossible. And he knew of one person who possessed a Great Dao universe: the Silver Moon King. What a ruthless kid, truly terrifying. With such a scheme, how many worlds would go there? How many worlds would be destroyed by him? No wonder that fellow had looked down on that bit of Great Dao crystals earlier... The Thunder Lord was no fool, and he was shaken to his core. Under these circumstances, gathering several hundred worlds in the later stages wouldn't be hard at all. Truly fucking vicious! However... he frowned slightly. In several hundred worlds, how many humans would there be... Had the Silver Moon King considered that? Even if a world held only a few billion people, several hundred worlds would mean trillions of humans! Had they... all been killed? The Thunder Lord sighed inwardly. He said nothing at this moment, only feeling that... this Silver Moon King was far too ruthless. He had seen the Queen once, but hadn't seen the Divine Kingdom... Even if Li Hao had two beings resembling chaos beasts under his command, how many people could two worlds hold? At this moment, the Thunder Lord said nothing, merely feeling that he ought to keep his distance from this fellow in the future—he was simply too ruthless. Trillions of humans... even the chaos beasts over all these years had only killed that many humans at most. …… Time continued to tick by. And on this day, in the Tianfang Region: The Bright Light World was beginning to buckle, and the Bright Light Sovereign was prepared to compromise. After fighting once more, the Bright Light Sovereigns were all wounded. The Bright Light Sovereign appeared outside the realm gate, looking at the powerhouses opposite him with anger and helplessness... He was about to surrender! If this continued, even with home-field advantage, he wouldn't be able to hold out. Just as the Bright Light Sovereign was about to speak of signing a Great Dao covenant, everyone suddenly looked in one direction. Far away, the Tianfang Great World suddenly burst with dazzling brilliance! Not only that, the eighth-rank Sovereigns, who—aside from Red Moon—had each taken a Great Dao star previously, now felt those Great Dao stars erupting with light. "Huh?" Everyone was startled, their expressions changing slightly in the next instant. "The Tianfang Universe has revived?" So fast! How could it be this fast? When they took the Great Dao stars last time, they knew it would revive sooner or later... but how long had it been? The eighth-rank Sovereigns found it hard to believe! Meanwhile, the Bright Light Sovereign's eyes lit up instantly, and he burst into laughter. "Tianfang has revived!" What good news! He looked at the three opposite him, his expression shifting. Will you three... still stay here to besiege me? When Tianfang revived, every Sovereign who had obtained a Great Dao star that day would know. Li Hao had dispersed at least dozens of Great Dao stars! Dozens of seventh-rank Sovereigns knew Tianfang had revived. What was more, with such a massive commotion, even those who didn't know would know now. If they didn't go... they might miss their chance. At this moment, the Dragon Lord and the others frowned slightly. Tianfang reviving was a good thing! However... it was too fast. Bright Light was clearly on the verge of surrendering; he couldn't hold out much longer. Yet... he could still hold on for a few more days if pushed. More importantly, Tianfang had revived... If they didn't go, the other seventh-rank Sovereigns wouldn't show any restraint! "So fast!" The Dragon Lord had also obtained a star last time, and he now frowned as well. Within his Great Dao universe, a star was shimmering with light. How could it be this fast? According to his calculations, it should have taken at least several years, or even several centuries. Yet now... why had it revived? It was exceedingly strange! He looked in Tianfang's direction, frowning slightly. Unexpected events had been happening one after another lately—for instance, the Earth Dragon World advancing, the Thunder Lord actively issuing a challenge, or that human cultivator cultivating the Dao of Faith and even integrating it with the Chaos Dao... which had probably exploded by now, hadn't it? And now... Tianfang's revival! While he was pondering, the Red Moon Sovereign glanced at the Bright Light Sovereign, then at Yunxiao and the Dragon Lord, cursing inwardly. Those two bastards had refused to use their full strength all along! The Dragon Lord, that bastard, had kept urging him to strike... Strike your uncle! He had truly wanted to take down Bright Light! Yet those two bastards, who actually possessed Great Dao universes, refused to exert themselves, which infuriated the Lord of Red Moon. He was an unattached rogue with limited Great Dao power, unlike those two bastards! Now that Tianfang had revived, say no more! Expect them to keep besieging Bright Light? Impossible! Tianfang was far more important than Bright Light. Damn it! The Lord of Red Moon had no other choice. He looked at Yunxiao, and as expected, the Lord of Yunxiao looked back at him. After a momentary hesitation, Yunxiao nodded and directly opened his Great Dao universe. Without waste of words: let's go take a look! In the blink of an eye, he vanished. The Red Moon Sovereign had thought the fellow would take him along... but he had run off on his own. Damn it! Red Moon was enraged! Without saying anything, he vanished instantly as well. Clearly, the other party had rushed off ahead to seize the Great Dao universe. Seeing this, the Dragon Lord frowned slightly and shook his head. Instead of entering his Great Dao universe, he returned to the Dragon World. In the next moment, three giant dragons manifested, directly carrying the Dragon World forward! He would not descend there rashly through a Great Dao universe. Even if Tianfang had revived... for now, its Dao source might not revive immediately. There was no rush! No one said another word, and no one paid any more attention to the Bright Light Sovereign. At this moment, the Bright Light Sovereign's gaze wavered with hesitation. Should I go? If I go, will those three... continue to besiege me? After weighing it, everyone wanted the Tianfang Great Dao universe; those three would most likely no longer be able to maintain their alliance. Gritting his teeth, he looked at Yaoyang and the others. "Stay behind and be careful. I will go take a look. If anything seems wrong, I will return quickly!" With that, he frowned. "Tianfang revived a bit too quickly... Extremely strange! According to my judgment, a century wouldn't have been surprising, yet in just a few days... it has actually revived formally!" He couldn't understand it! Even so, he had to go see for himself to be at ease. …… At the same time. Tianfang. The Human King stood atop Tianfang. At this moment, ripples stirred across the Great Dao universe. To create a revival convincing enough to fool eighth ranks, ordinary methods would never suffice. At this moment, the Human King's gaze was cold and sharp. And somewhat grim! The Tianfang Universe had been opened by him, and Tianfang's revival... was, in a sense, a genuine revival, because right now, the Human King and the Cang Emperor had joined hands to execute the Dao of Yin and Yang, reversing Yin and Yang! Turning death into life! They had paid a substantial price. Such a revival could only be sustained for a short period, and it had even drawn an overwhelmingly powerful lightning tribulation, though outsiders couldn't sense it. Because the lightning tribulation had been swallowed whole by the Cang Emperor. At this moment, the Cang Emperor was trembling all over, bleeding profusely. The Human King gently stroked the agonizing Cang Emperor, soothing him in a low voice, "Bear with it! Just bear with it a little longer, and we'll... eat fish! Big fish!" He gritted his teeth. Throughout his life, the Human King rarely suffered a loss, but to eliminate formidable foes, taking a small hit was acceptable. Yet he would definitely reclaim it tenfold! A hundredfold, a thousandfold! The Human King looked toward the shimmering stars. The Great Dao stars seemed to be reviving... With Yin and Yang reversed, the Great Dao universe appeared transformed. The Human King penetrated deep into the Great Dao universe, looking toward the star that remained deathly still. He suddenly gave a cold laugh. "Borrowing your precious territory for a bit... Once people are killed, you'll be able to revive earlier as well... Don't keep staring at me! Look any longer, and I'll lose my temper!" With that, he chuckled softly, turned to the still-suffering Cang Emperor, and said in a low voice, "Big Cat, let's go... Head outside first... We'll be the last to enter!" In an instant, he departed with the Cang Emperor. Once the Human King and the Cang Emperor were gone, the spatial Dao source star shimmered faintly, as if revealing an eye. After a long time, the radiance faded! …… In an unknown place in the chaos. Among countless statues, one statue opened its eyes once more, raising an eyebrow slightly. Over in the Four Regions, that bunch of young people was truly daring. Time and again, they used the Tianfang Universe to scheme against others. How bold, how daring—they had even used the reversal of Yin and Yang. With that much energy, wouldn't it have been better to reverse death and revive a seventh rank? Truly idle and looking for trouble! Of course, that was just a fleeting thought. The young fellow had quite a temper, even threatening him. "He seems... to come from that world as well..." Recalling the time cultivator from before and looking at the one who had reversed Yin and Yang today, these two were likely of the same origin, both hailing from that world. How interesting! Were these two from the same world? Did that world produce nothing but monsters? Manufacturing a false illusion of Tianfang's revival in advance—what did they want to do this time? With that thought, the statue soon closed its eyes. A formal revival of Tianfang would still take some time; even reversing Yin and Yang couldn't hasten it. However, it had seen quite a few amusing things, making the glance well worthwhile.
