Chapter 439: A Day Destined to Be Recorded in the Annals of History

At this moment, Shenming Mozun felt like cursing everyone's mothers.

Zhang Hao and Gao Xiang Hong, who had been hiding far in the rear, exchanged glances; they recognized that look on Shenming Mozun's face — he was clearly silently shouting "WDNMD."

The expressions of the Heavenly Divine Hall Ancestor and the Lingxing Old Ancestor weren't much better either.

The most dumbfounded of all was the so-called Old Ancestor of the Chen Clan Ancient Race — he had calculated every possibility, thinking victory was in his grasp, only for the other side to come in hard, bluntly bringing seven immortal-demon helpers along.

Guihong Mozu was still understandable, but where on earth did the remaining six Divine Step Six immortal-demon experts come from?

"I thought I was already a cheat, but I never expected Master to be the biggest cheat of all — this cheat is just absurd."

Zhang Hao muttered to himself. Master had actually invited six Divine Step Six immortal-demon experts in one go, which truly startled him. Still, he understood that beyond the connection through Guihong Mozu, there was another layer — precisely that Zhang Hao came from the Origin Realm.

These seniors knew the Origin Realm, the original battlefield of the great campaign.

At this moment, a surge of pride welled up in Zhang Hao — pride in being a person of the Origin Realm.

"Old Ancestor Chen, you should never have done what you did — never should have touched my old friend, and even less should have laid hands on the outstanding talents of the Origin Realm. Today, the Chen Clan Ancient Race, the Heavenly Divine Hall, the Lingxing Mountain, and the Shenming Gate shall be struck from Lord Tianhong's Great Realm!"

His voice rolled like thunder, like vast righteousness sweeping through heaven and earth, reverberating boundlessly in all directions.

Even tens of millions of miles away, it rang clear.

Countless living beings' faces changed wildly, their hearts trembling — extermination?! And of four giant-tier powers at that?!

A thunderous roar exploded.

In the direction of the Chen Clan Ancient Race, it was as if tens of thousands of great suns bloomed, immortal arts and divine abilities churning heaven and earth.

At this moment.

The top powers across Lord Tianhong's Great Realm were frantically sending messages back to their sects and clans — a cataclysmic great battle had erupted at the Chen Clan Ancient Race, on a scale never seen before.

There was no exaggeration whatsoever.

It truly was a scale never seen before — a total of twelve Divine Step Six existences in battle. Such a melee had never occurred in Lord Tianhong's Great Realm, far rarer even than the Immortal War.

The Immortal War — Lord Tianhong's Great Realm had indeed experienced that.

But a great battle of twelve Divine Step Six immortal-demon experts, involving at least seven or eight giant-tier powers — such a situation had practically never occurred.

Even when similar situations had arisen, giant-tier powers had never fought to the point of deploying their full Divine Step Six foundations.

Countless immortal-demon experts sensed the great battle erupting at the Chen Clan Ancient Race, all turning their gazes this way with strange looks, seemingly not having expected such an event.

"Hmm? So many unfamiliar auras — who is the Chen Clan Old Ancestor fighting?"

"I sense the auras of Guihong Mozu and Bai Yuanxian Jun, and among them are many unfamiliar auras. Which power do they come from? It seems... they're not immortal-demon experts of our realm. Who invited these other-realm immortal-demon experts — Bai Yuanxian Jun? Or the Chen Clan Old Ancestor?"

"It seems after this great battle, a giant power is bound to be destroyed."

The helmsmen and foundational experts of the great powers, standing in the heavens millions of miles from the Chen Clan Ancient Race, gazed toward its direction.

They did not approach the Chen Clan Ancient Race.

In such an immortal-demon melee, if one were accidentally caught up in it, even immortal-demon experts would have a hard time of it.

But that did not stop them from watching.

At their level, there were plenty of ways to observe situations millions of miles away.

Faintly, roars and furious shouts could be heard coming from the direction of the Chen Clan Ancient Race.

So loud were they that they shook the nine heavens and spread through the ten lands — those who didn't know would think the heavens themselves had raged, shaking the world above and below.

"Bai Yuan!!!"

"Guihong!!!"

Those helmsmen and foundational experts of the powerful clans recognized the source of the roars and furious shouts — it was the Chen Clan Ancient Race's Old Ancestor.

His voice carried unwillingness, fury, and seemingly even a trace of... exasperation.

The Chen Clan Ancient Race's Old Ancestor was indeed exasperated. He finally understood why Zhang Hao had been able to slay Chen Xuan — it turned out that the Chen Clan Ancient Race, and indeed all the powers and outstanding talents of Lord Tianhong's Great Realm, had underestimated Zhang Hao.

This Zhang Hao was the most terrifying outstanding talent of Lord Tianhong's Great Realm.

Because this bastard... was playing pig to eat the tiger. He was never an ordinary mortal born in Lord Tianhong's Great Realm — he came from an extremely terrifying world — the Origin Realm.

Ever since the matter of the River of Time began, the great powers of Lord Tianhong's Great Realm had never stopped searching for where the main world of the River of Time lay.

They never imagined, never guessed, that the main world of the River of Time they had been pursuing all along — Zhang Hao came from that very world. He had hidden too deeply.

"Brother Zhang really is a scheming old fox."

A certain outstanding talent, who had been far away near the Chen Clan Ancient Race and had hidden himself far off the moment the great battle erupted, stood in a place beyond its reach and couldn't help sighing.

Clearly, he had overheard the conversation between Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian and the Chen Clan Old Ancestor.

Just as Kamikawa Mitsu had predicted, after today, the Origin Realm would spread through Lord Tianhong's Great Realm and onward to other worlds. By then, with all the myriad worlds connected, world to world, the name of the Origin Realm would resound throughout the myriad worlds.

However, this spread was a bit slow — Kamikawa Mitsu needed to accelerate the process.

Of course, these were all related to Kamikawa Mitsu's subsequent plans. What he needed to do now was simply plant a fuse, using Lord Tianhong's Great Realm, the Void Demon Realm, the Myriad Wastes Realm, and other worlds that already knew the Origin Realm to spread word of it.

Otherwise, once the next script was implemented, the various other realms would not know the Origin Realm, and would inevitably doubt and question its grandeur and glory. They needed people from other realms to spread the word by mouth.

Flowers still need green leaves to set them off.

These other realms that knew the Origin Realm were the green leaves — having them speak of the Origin Realm's strength carried more authenticity than having people of the Origin Realm speak of it themselves.

The great battle came swiftly, catching everyone off guard, and ended swiftly as well — in less than a single day, this great battle destined to be recorded in history came to an end.

Everyone who learned the great battle had ended in just one day was utterly shocked.

That involved twelve Divine Step Six giant-tier existences — how could it have lasted only a single day?

One had to remember, a one-on-one fight between Divine Step Six existences alone would last until the heavens darkened and the earth grew dim. Last time, Guihong Mozu and Bai Yuanxian Jun had fought for half a day — and that was merely letting off some steam.

Only those who had been watching the scene knew the reason.

A great battle of twelve Divine Step Six existences would indeed last a long time — but that was when both sides were evenly matched, with at least no great disparity.

But this great battle was a crushing, a one-sided beating, one side sweeping through the other.

Eight against four — double the numbers.

The great battle ended.

Shenming Mozun was bisected at the waist, his divine soul annihilated; the ancestor of the Heavenly God Palace was nailed to death in the Nine Heavens, his body perished and his Dao vanished; the old ancestor of Lingxing had his body and divine soul directly ground out of existence, leaving behind only an empty husk of an immortal-demon corpse.

The old ancestor of the Chen family ancient clan was the most wretched of all—his body was blasted apart, and along with it his divine soul was crushed to pieces, dying utterly and completely.

The deaths of the four immortal-demon lords likewise signified the collapse of the powers behind them.

Bai Yuanxianjun and Ghost Hong Mozu, taking Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian and the others along, hurried without pause to the Chen family ancient clan, the Heavenly God Palace, Lingxing Mountain, and Shenming Gate to carry out a great sweep, utterly annihilating these four great powers.

They were easy to talk to, but they also understood the principle that leaving trouble behind brings endless calamity; anyone who had cultivated to their level had the blood of thousands or tens of thousands staining their hands.

This was the first time Xiang Hong had witnessed the brutal side of these big shots in the group who were usually so amiable toward him.

They were simply far too brutal.

When they wiped out these sects, they did it while chatting and laughing, dividing up the wealth plundered from the four great powers, standing right there on the blood-soaked land of those four great powers to split the spoils, with corpses strewn all around and piled into mountains.

This day.

A day destined to be recorded in the annals of the Lord Tianhong Great Realm.

Four great powerhouse forces—one of them an ancient great clan—were utterly annihilated.

On this day, the names of Zhang Hao, Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian, and the other members of the "Wanna Get a Trade in Today" group resounded throughout the Lord Tianhong Great Realm.

The matter that had plagued the Lord Tianhong Great Realm for some time—about what world the mainstream world of the River of Years was—was spread far and wide on this day.
