Chapter 40: The War Is Approaching

Jiang Yun sat on a large rock in the middle of the Dark Forest, his eyes scanning the demon emperors who stood before him, having gathered all the resources. Behind them, millions of surviving followers remained, the remnants of the fierce battle. Though this was only a fraction of the original army, their strength and power were still impressive. He knew well that these demonic beasts once held far greater numbers, but the prolonged war with the Central Continent Alliance had led to tremendous losses. Hundreds of millions of demonic beasts had sacrificed their lives in that war.

Suddenly, Jiang Yun raised his hand and began forming a massive spell in the air. Complex patterns glowed and spread over the entire area. The immense pressure emanating from the spell caused the demon emperors and their followers to feel overwhelmed, but they didn't resist, understanding that Jiang Yun harbored no ill intent.

"We are leaving this place," he said calmly, though his words carried a peculiar power that silenced everything around them.

At that moment, the massive spell was completed. The ground trembled, and a bright light illuminated the area. The formation Jiang Yun created began to activate, and the atmosphere around them shifted rapidly, as though everything was being drawn into the void.

Before anyone realized it, the bodies of the demon emperors and all their followers were sucked into the light. Jiang Yun quietly observed as everything unfolded before him, and then he, too, disappeared along with them as the formation began to collapse.

Silence once again descended upon the dark forest, leaving no sound behind...

Meanwhile, several imperial forces were struck by shock and confusion as they discovered that the spirit jades of their leaders or elders, who had gone to attack the Dark Forest, began to shatter one by one. Cries of panic and rage echoed from all directions.

"What calamity has occurred? What madness is this?!"

...

"Contact our people in the Northern Continent, now!"

"What's happening out there?!"

...

"Send messages to the remaining allies! We must know what's going on!"

In the Northern Continent, outside the Dark Forest, the invisible barrier that had previously prevented anyone from entering the forest had suddenly disappeared. People who once couldn't enter now found they could proceed unimpeded. As they ventured inside, they came upon the remnants of war scattered across the land. The ground was soaked with blood, and the bodies of the Central Continent's imperial allies were strewn about, some piled into large mounds.

One man, appearing to be experienced in scavenging for treasures, stepped forward to inspect the bodies of the fallen emperors, hoping to loot something valuable. However, despite searching every corner, he found nothing—no dimensional rings, no valuable items. It was as if everything had vanished into thin air.

But then, something caught his attention—a photo stone clutched tightly in the hands of one of the fallen emperors. The man picked it up, intending to view the images alone, but as he attempted to examine the stone, the images unexpectedly expanded, emitting a soft orange glow that illuminated the surroundings. The light allowed everyone, both inside and outside the Dark Forest, to see the images clearly.

All eyes were fixed on the glowing photo stone floating in the air. Silence blanketed the area as everyone watched with keen interest and growing fear. The stone revealed the wounded figures of over 150 supreme emperors, both demons and humans. Their condition appeared weak, and they were on the brink of collapse. Everyone was too shocked to speak, witnessing the once-mighty emperors fading before their very eyes.

Suddenly, the stone displayed the arrival of the forces from the Sacred Blood Demon Lands. The atmosphere became tense and foreboding. The shadows of the blood demon emperors loomed over the wounded emperors, exuding an aura of cruelty. Whispers began to rise among the crowd.

"Weren't they bound by a heavenly contract? How could they dare break such a promise?" someone exclaimed in disbelief.

"I don't know what they agreed on... but if the Sacred Blood Demon Lands dared to act like this, they must have a plan and the confidence to face the consequences of breaking the contract," another answered, eyes filled with worry.

The images from the photo stone continued, showing scenes that struck even more fear into everyone. The Sacred Blood Demon Lands began slaughtering the emperors mercilessly. Blood flowed across the ground, sparing no one, whether human or demon. They were all killed without mercy.

What terrified everyone even more was the sight of the demonic cultivators from the Sacred Blood Demon Lands extracting the special body origins from some of the emperors. Those once-powerful bodies were reduced to withered corpses in an instant.

Then, the blood demons collected the bodies of both demon and human emperors who had fallen, storing them in dimensional rings. Every resource in the Dark Forest had been completely wiped out. The demonic cultivators laughed mockingly, as if no agreement had ever existed.

"This is too much... They're trampling on the heavenly contract without fear!" one of the viewers shouted in outrage.

A low-level cultivator from the Central Continent Alliance's forces spoke out urgently.

"We must replace a way to retaliate! How could they dare break the heavenly contract like this?!"

Days passed, and after the images from the photo stone spread, the man who found the stone vanished without a trace after revealing the scene to everyone. Shortly afterward, the massacre in the Dark Forest became the talk of all five continents. It was a topic on everyone's lips. Amid the growing whispers and rumors, resentment simmered deep within the hearts of the Central Continent's imperial alliance forces.

The death and disappearance of the Central Continent's Emperor were unacceptable, and forces from the Central Continent were promptly mobilizing their armies for a vengeful war against the Blood Demon Sacred Land. Their rage was like a violent storm ready to destroy everything in its path, and suspicion and fear grew each day.

However, as they prepared their armies to advance towards the Blood Demon Sacred Land, the leader of the Blood Demon Sacred Land, who had recently emerged from seclusion, stepped out from the shadows. He appeared with a terrifying power, surrounded by hundreds of formidable demon puppets. Each of his steps caused the ground to tremble, and his gaze sent chills through the practitioners. The power emanating from him made everyone present feel the disparity in their levels. The leaders of the Central Continent Alliance, who had been filled with anger and a desire for war, began to waver, realizing that the strength of the leader of the Blood Demon Sacred Land was not something easily assessed or challenged. Moreover, the Five Element Sacred Land had not joined the conflict, forcing them to decide to retreat as no one could contend with the leader of the Blood Demon Sacred Land.

After the Central Continent forces retreated, within the grand hall of the Blood Demon Sacred Land, the atmosphere was thick with darkness, almost suffocating. The murderous intent radiating from the shadow was so intense that those in the hall felt as if their blood was nearly freezing. Several elders stood rigidly, afraid to meet the shadow's gaze. The pressure from the dark shadow made them feel as though they were being crushed under a mountain of stone.

"You are all so worthless and useless!" The shadow roared, his voice echoing through the hall like thunder. "Since the Misty Sacred Land attacked, you have been unable to defend. You allowed our forces to be destroyed by more than half. Enormous resources were plundered with no counterattack. You useless fools who can only talk big!"

The shadow's voice thundered throughout the hall, his eyes blazing with fury as if ready to burn everything. "I have never interfered with your internal conflicts before, not even once. But it seems recently you've become overly audacious, even to the extent of killing each other or cooperating with outsiders."

All the elders bowed their heads, too afraid to speak. The fear in their eyes was as clear as if tears would soon flow. The shadow curled his lips in a sneer before speaking with icy coldness.

"Go replace those who dare to slander the Blood Demon Sacred Land. If you can't replace them... I will use your blood as a sacrifice for the demon puppets!"

The threat reverberated through the hall, causing everyone present to tremble. They responded with quivering voices of fear.

"Yes, Leader!" They quickly turned and left, not daring to even glance back.

The shadow stood in the center of the hall, silent and brooding, his gaze filled with uncontrollable rage and unresolved doubts. "That old fox Lin... How does he know I cannot assist the Blood Demon Sacred Land?" He clenched his teeth in frustration, the grinding of his teeth echoing in the silent room like a reflection from the depths of hell.

"And more importantly... Who the hell is that person?" The shadow roared into the darkness, "Why can't I deduce their identity?" He held his head, trying to search for answers deep within his thoughts, but no matter how hard he tried, the answers remained elusive in the dark.

"Tsk... Just a few more months..." The shadow muttered to himself, his voice filled with hatred.

As news of the battle in the Forest of Darkness spread across the continents, another piece of news caused a stir in the continent — the Falling Blood Heaven Sect.

"How did Wang Bai and Wang He survive?" The voice of an elder from the Wang family echoed with dissatisfaction. "Their bodies were destroyed, weren't they? How did they both become Emperors in just a few months, and their special bodies even recovered?" He clenched his fists in anger.

The leader of the Wang family, sitting on the golden throne, spoke with a decisive tone, "How dare those Falling Blood Heaven Sect members kill our people? They are like newborn lambs with no fear. I will be the one to teach them fear myself." He looked around the room.

"Contact all the Emperor forces. Let's destroy them!"

"Yes, Clan Head!"

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Clan, the atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Everyone was carefully considering the strategies, but one dragoness smiled with delight, as if replaceing amusement in the chaos.

Long Ping, one of the Dragon Clan leaders, stepped in confidently and said, "I want to kill that traitorous dragon!" His voice was clear and full of confidence. Everyone in the room was shocked, but no one opposed. There was only immediate agreement.

But the Dragon Clan leader voiced his concern, "But how will we fight against the Falling Blood Heaven Sect? They have ten powerful Emperors, and Jiang Yun as well. We have very few people in this fragment of the world and are not that strong."

Long Ping smiled widely, as if the statement only boosted his confidence further. "Don't worry! We will have many more allies... Hahaha!" He laughed loudly, as if his laughter could spread confidence to everyone in the room.

In the dark hall of the Blood Demon Sacred Land, some elders with tense faces asked in low, worried voices, "Should we join in the destruction of the Falling Blood Heaven Sect?"

The dark shadow, the supreme leader of the Blood Demon Sacred Land, turned to look at them with a cold gaze and spoke with a decisive tone.

"No! Do you think you can act without using your brains? Or is it that you don't have any? I'm starting to doubt it."

The elder who had asked fell silent with embarrassment, and some wondered if they had done something wrong.

"The Falling Blood Heaven Sect Leader is not in a growing phase but at his peak strength right now! That kid is at the peak Emperor level, do you understand, peak Emperors?"

He paused for a moment before continuing with a solemn tone, "Including the two men in black who came to recruit disciples at that time. Don't you remember? The aura they emitted was more terrifying than some quasi-immortals, and even just one of them could easily destroy the entire Sacred Land of the Blood Demon during its prime... And if I were to fight, I would die along with you fools."

The Dark Shadow paused slightly, his eyes filled with rage sweeping over all the elders. "So, you should use your limited brains to think, analyze, differentiate, and evaluate your own abilities more carefully!"

The room fell into complete silence. The once stern faces turned into dark, fear-filled expressions. They all knew the Dark Shadow was right. They were still not strong enough to face this enemy, and any move they made could lead to the complete destruction of the sect.

But amid the silence, a laugh echoed through the darkness, "Hahaha! Just as expected... truly the son of mine! Hahaha!" The voice of a man imprisoned deep within the dungeon rang out. He laughed crazily, his laughter filled with pride and joy. "Your mother must be proud of you. Hahaha!"

At the Gao family, in a hidden chamber, an elderly man with white hair and a scarred face looked at himself in amazement as he gradually recovered from his weakness. When Gao Yuan succeeded in breaking through to the quasi-emperor level with the help of a pill, everyone in the family was overjoyed and congratulated him. But in reality, the elderly man knew that this was the price for having taken care of Gao Yuan for so long, and that Gao Yuan would no longer be involved with the Gao family.

At the Chen family, they also received something from Chen Wei, but due to their insatiable greed, they wanted more. Seeking an urgent meeting with Chen Wei to discuss new plans became a priority. Their unending desires drove them to seek Chen Wei to increase their power and resources.

In the Vortex Dynasty, Fang Qin was almost driven mad, smashing items in the hall with intense fury. "Why? Why are you still alive? You scoundrels Jiang Yun! Scoundrel Fang Hai! I will kill them all, not leaving a single one!" Fang Qin's roar was filled with hatred and long-simmering stress.

Meanwhile, a man stood in the void of the universe, observing the events with a strange feeling. His eyes were filled with remorse.

In the Sacred Land of Mist, the Holy God sat on a golden throne, looking at the beautiful scenery of the land he governed with tranquility, until that peace was shattered by an unexpected announcement.

"Old man Gongsun has reached the emperor level, has he?" The Holy God said with a tone full of interest. "The world will surely become more colorful."

And he thought of the boy named Chang Ming. The Holy God recalled having heard of him before, from somewhere. An elder standing nearby spoke up, "I remember he was once a contender for the Sacred Son position before he disappeared along with news of his family's destruction."

The Holy God smiled meaningfully. "That kid took away many of my capable people. You'll have to give me a discount, I suppose."

At a certain peak, four young women sitting together were shocked by the news that Mu Shuyuan, their brother, had now become an emperor, and his strength exceeded imagination.

"Mu Shuyuan has become an emperor?" Zhang Xinye said, her voice filled with shock.

"The gap between us is widening, and we need to do something. Have you all decided?"

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I agree."

They considered the situation with concern and decided to head straight to the Holy God's peak immediately.

As the sun began to set, the room adorned with gold and precious jewels turned into a deep blue hue. The long-awaited meeting of the Emperor's forces began. Amidst the calm and palpable tension in the room, it was clear that this was an important moment.

The conference room was elegantly arranged, with a large table elaborately decorated. The floor was covered with a crimson carpet featuring beautiful patterns. Gold lights overhead provided a soft illumination, creating a simple and formal atmosphere.

In the meeting room were representatives from over 70 imperial forces. The leaders, dressed in expensive armor and adorned with the marks of prestigious families, created an impressive and authoritative presence.

The head of the meeting was the Emperor of the Wang family, who had organized the gathering. He sat at the center of the table, exuding an air of dignity and confidence. As a cool breeze from an open window gently blew in, he smiled warmly at the attending representatives.

"Esteemed representatives, thank you for coming today," the Wang family Emperor's voice was deep and dignified. He picked up the documents on the table and smiled at everyone. "We are here to discuss the safety of the Tianyuan world from the destruction of the Falling Heaven Blood Sect."

Suddenly, a voice spoke up, "Why don't we start the war right away?"

Another voice chimed in, "I've already sent troops to the western lands."

Another voice followed, "I've also dispatched forces to the western borders."

Another voice added, "I agree. We'll call it the Alliance of Forces to Protect the Tianyuan World."

The Wang family Emperor, in a state of confusion, thought to himself, "You are all so crafty."

The Wang family Emperor responded with a smile and a laugh, "Then let us protect the Tianyuan world together."

The voices of everyone rose, "Protect the Tianyuan world!"

"Protect the Tianyuan world!"

"Protect the Tianyuan world!"

"Protect the Tianyuan world!"
