Chapter 1974: Forcefully Opening War!

Boom—

Near the Space Channel, on the bases of the Strange Clan and the Gu Clan, enemies were constantly being slaughtered.

It was impossible to stop!

Everyone's combat power had increased too much.

Gu Feng and the others were extremely excited.

This power almost made them a little crazy.

It was like an ordinary person suddenly obtaining immortal methods—just a thought and they could slaughter.

In less than half a day.

The Ruthless Empress swept through the nearby star sea, completely annihilating all of the Strange Clan and the Gu Clan.

By this point, Lu Xuan also reclaimed his authority's power.

Gu Feng and the others immediately rushed over, having been beaten back to their original forms, and became somewhat disheartened.

This is the feeling of discouragement from losing power.

There is also a sense of greed.

It is a feeling that makes them secretly feel a bit fearful!

Indeed, to wear the crown, one must bear its weight.

If we let them control this power all day, they might lose themselves.

They considered themselves invincible under heaven!

They sighed, saying, "Senior Du Fei Ling and Senior Lv Bing, who wield the Heavenly Mandate Origin all day, can still hold to their original hearts—truly rare."

Yang Jian felt the same.

It was as if they had been struck down from the void to the ground.

Moreover, the human skin scroll in his hand became dry and stiff, losing the earlier feeling of ease.

The Ruthless Empress's eyes shifted as she said, "Next, we need to quickly set up the Reincarnation Array. The enemies here have been slain; the Strange Clan and the Gu Clan should soon get the news. We don't have much time."

Gu Feng and the others nodded.

They also saw how extraordinary the Reincarnation Array was.

It was a Dao Resonance that shocked even them, who were at the Dao Annihilation Realm.

Once the Reincarnation Array is fully formed, firmly occupying this star sea, control of the entire Space Channel will fall into their hands.

Then they would control the throat.

Time waits for no one!

We must set it up quickly!

The Ruthless Empress also entrusted the parts of the pattern that needed to be inscribed to Yang Jian, Gu Feng, and the others.

Yang Jian felt somewhat excited.

As you know, the Ruthless Empress, Qi Chun Jing, and these people are either disciples of Lord Lu Zun or persons closely related to him.

He is now half‑footed into Lord Lu Zun's circle.

Everyone immediately began to condense the pattern.

"Sizzle—"

Streams of Divine Light shot up into the sky, and in the void appeared intricate, obscure patterns, constantly intertwining like a great net.

From afar, the people looked like spiders weaving a great net.

The Ruthless Empress's domain was spreading.

That mysterious scroll was slowly unfolding.

…

Elsewhere.

The Central Star Domain of the Threefold Heaven Gate.

This is the core of the Hehuan Sect, the starry sky personally forged by Dieyue when she founded the sect.

To understand the structure of the Threefold Heaven Gate, the three great star realms are stacked from bottom to top.

This Central Star Domain lies at the very center of the three great star realms, penetrating all the way from bottom to top.

Just like the human spine.

Over these years, after Dieyue disappeared, the enemy grasped the Four Great Heavenly Mandate Origins and, acting together, have already occupied most of the starry sky outside the Central Star Domain.

This is one of the few pure lands of the Hehuan Sect.

But Ancestor Cangwu, Elder Jing Shan, and others naturally would not allow it, so the Hehuan Sect simply holds its ground.

For years they have repeatedly attacked the central region, using strange Dao Resonance and gu‑creatures to pollute the starry sky, constantly invading.

Facing such fierce attacks, the Hehuan Sect can only respond.

But two fists cannot fight four hands; their star domain is continually shrinking.

And then.

Around the periphery of the Central Star Domain, several large armies descended.

Ancestor Cangwu had long ago ordered, "We must immediately attack the Central Star Domain to put pressure on humanity!"

Elder Jing Shan also understood the gravity: "Right now, Lu Xuan hasn't yet reached the upper realm, so we only need to face Du Fei Ling and Lv Bing; the others are nothing to fear."

Boom—

In the east, the various veins of the Strange Clan surged forward like a black tide.

In this direction, the void turned directly ink‑black, like eternal night.

In the darkness, the countless figures of the Strange Clan were immensely huge, walking through the void like chaotic gods and demons, their aura extremely terrifying.

Among them, the most terrifying aura naturally belonged to the Cangwu Ancestor.

He controlled the Origin of the Mandate.

Under his feet, a vast sea of souls surged, boundless, black waves towering.

The Origin of the Mandate lay deep within the sea of souls, like a sea‑suppressing divine pearl, emitting a dark light, providing the Cangwu Ancestor and others with endless power.

This great army could be the elite of the Gu Clan.

The guardians of the starry sky were utterly shocked.

"Damn it! It's actually the Cangwu Ancestor taking action himself!"

"Immediately send a sound transmission to Elder Du Fei Ling and Elder Lv Bing!"

They hastily laid out defensive formations.

"Boom—!"

Glistening formation patterns intertwined like sparks, like a map of the myriad‑mile starry sky, flowing with the power of the Hehuan Sect's Scripture, their power merging with heaven and earth.

In the west, Elder Jing Shan came killing, bearing the Origin of the Mandate.

Behind him, a huge stone carving of Gu Yue Laozi towered high, striding through the air.

On Elder Jing Shan's chest hung a string of heaven‑defying Gu artifacts.

These Gu artifacts glittered with Divine Light, bursting forth different Dao Resonances, making Elder Jing Shan appear like a deity.

His aura commanded the heavens.

Behind Elder Jing Shan stood the Gu Clan's great army.

Moreover, their subject forces consisted of the myriad races' beings they had gathered while conquering the starry sky—blood clan, witch clan, some ancient Dao lineages, and some human lackey forces.

The western guardians also immediately sent a sound transmission to Du Fei Ling and Lv Bing.

Likewise, enemies invaded from the other two directions.

Yao clan!

Longevity Clan!

But this time, neither side brought the Origin of the Mandate.

Soon, Du Fei Ling and Lv Bing received the news within the Hehuan Sect's garrison.

Du Fei Ling immediately rose from the training hall, her beautiful eyes flashing as she muttered to herself.

"Yang Jian has already sent me a sound transmission; he has made contact with the Ruthless Empress and her allies."

"They want to seize the Space Channel!"

"So in this battle, Elder Jing Shan and the Cangwu Ancestor have come to attack; we must fight to buy time for the Ruthless Empress and her allies."

She immediately made up her mind.

If it were as before, she would naturally order everyone to focus on defense.

But now things are different.

Du Fei Ling's jade feet moved gracefully; she immediately rose into the air and began to command the many leaders.

"Begin battle!"

"This time, open all defensive formations and engage them in battle within the starry sky."

The many leaders who received the order were all somewhat surprised.

But they did not defy the order.

Because Elder Du Fei Ling could almost be said to be the one who calls the shots in the Hehuan Sect.

"Her command is equivalent to that of Ancestor Dieyue!"

Soon, powerful humans began to gather in the myriad star seas.

But on the other side.

"Boom!"

Lv Bing rose from the secret chamber, clad in armor, stepping into the air, his face extremely displeased: "Little Du Du, what do you mean by this? Why do you want to fight them?"
