Looking at the endless void, Shen Tian's eyes were deep.
Although the five Evil Spirit Thearchs had been destroyed, and the crisis of the five regions had been temporarily resolved.
However, his mood did not relax.
This battle was not over yet.
The Evil Spirits from the outer realm were powerful, and losing five Thearchs was only a small loss.
Behind them, there were even stronger existences eyeing them covetously.
Furthermore, the real battlefield was not in the five regions, but in the Celestial World.
There was still a long way to go to resist the Evil Spirits.
However, Shen Tian was not discouraged.
He had benefited greatly from the battle with the five Thearchs.
He had truly come into contact with the power of a Thearch and had a deep understanding of it.
Furthermore, he had tempered himself and become more and more proficient.
It was only a matter of time before he transcended the 36 Heavenly Tribulations and became a Thearch.
At that thought, Shen Tian's eyes were resolute.
No matter what, he had to lead the five regions to resist the Evil Spirits from the outer realm.
This was the long-cherished wish of the ancient sages and also the mission of the Human Emperor Physique.
...
Shen Tian took a deep breath. "It's time to go back."
He turned around and prepared to return to the five regions.
However, at that moment, a change occurred.
His chest emitted a faint divine light and erupted with vast power.
The Kunlun Mirror slowly rose, its light dim.
In the past 100 years, the Kunlun Mirror had already consumed 90% of its power.
Now, it was using its last bit of power to bring Shen Tian through spacetime and return to the future.
Shen Tian was not surprised by this.
He had long known about history and felt relieved.
Shen Tian turned around and looked deeply at the five regions. "I'll be counting on you guys next."
Reluctance sprouted in his heart.
After all, he had made many close friends in the past 100 years.
Ao Lie, Jiang Taiyi, Sheng Yangxu, Xiang Zhonglou...
They had fought side by side on the battlefield and resolved numerous dangers.
It was also because of their support that Shen Tian had been able to create the extremely glorious Heavenly Courts.
These were Shen Tian's memories of this era.
...
Apart from the prodigies, there was also Shen Xiao.
She was his only disciple. He had been with her for 100 years and had a deep relationship with her.
Shen Tian had personally witnessed Shen Xiao's growth step by step. She was no weaker than a top prodigy.
She had put in far more effort than ordinary people just to catch up to Shen Tian as soon as possible.
Shen Tian had seen all of this.
Unfortunately, he was unable to see the day Shen Xiao ascended to the peak.
In the end, he still felt a little disappointed.
Shen Tian wanted to return to the future, to be completely separated from this era.
Even though he was reluctant, there was nothing he could do.
After all, he wasn't a person of this era. If he stayed for too long, it would cause the karma to become chaotic and affect the order of the Great Dao.
At this moment, the Kunlun Mirror burst out with divine light.
The Primordial Unity Mystic Mark was lit up.
The void surged and the mist became hazy.
The space-time door suddenly appeared, emitting a mighty force that pulled Shen Tian into the river of time.
"Daoist Friend, let us meet again in the future!"
His figure disappeared, completely leaving this world.
…
The prodigies of the five regions felt the same way.
They looked up into the sky, their eyes filled with hope.
"Brother Shen, you will definitely return safely!"
Jiang Taiyi's eyes shone brightly.
They firmly believed that Shen Tian could kill the three emperors and lead them back to the Celestial World.
At the side, Shen Xiao was also doing her best to kill the enemy.
After 100 years, the young girl had completely grown up.
Her entire body was shrouded in chaotic aura, and with a wave of her hand, she caused Perfected Immortals to bleed.
However, at that moment, Shen Xiao's body froze.
She suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
It was as if... she had lost something important.
Shen Xiao stared at the void, and a tear fell from her eyes.
"Not to become a Thearch, just to wait for your return in the mortal world."
...
After crossing the dense light hole, Shen Tian stepped into the river of time.
This place was filled with mist and lingered with laws.
The traces of time appeared in heaven and earth, flowing through the ages.
This place was very strange. It was filled with the power of the origin of space-time, mysterious and unfathomable.
It was difficult for even Thearchs and Immortal Kings to enter this place.
Only with the help of a special Dao artifact like the Kunlun Mirror could one cross the river of time.
With the help of the Kunlun Mirror, Shen Tian flowed down the river of time.
Time flowed, and the mist was hazy.
Scenes of history appeared on the river of time.
These were the traces left behind by time, recording countless eras.
...
Shen Tian's eyes narrowed as he looked at these historical scenes.
As a bystander, he understood what had happened after he left.
As the five Thearchs had been killed, the remaining Evil Spirits were no match for the five regions' cultivators and were slaughtered.
However, when everyone discovered that Shen Tian had disappeared, they became terrified.
Fortunately, Jiang Taiyi, Ao Lie, and the others stood up to control the situation.
The five regions regained a short period of peace, allowing everyone to catch their breaths.
During this period of time, the strength of the paragons had increased by leaps and bounds, and most of them had reached the Sub-Thearch realm.
However, the good times did not last long.
The Evil Spirit race was ambitious and still attacked the five regions.
Moreover, the destruction of the five Evil Spirit Thearchs had attracted the attention of the Evil Spirit race.
They sent out experts again, wanting to completely conquer the five regions.
The Evil Spirit army surged over with monstrous might.
The danger of this battle was even greater than before.
That was because seven Evil Spirit Thearchs had descended this time.
The five regions were in a state of desolation.
The Heavenly Courts' troops resisted with all their might, using the array formation left behind by Shen Tian to forcefully delay the six Thearchs.
However, there was another Great Monarch who came out of nowhere.
He wantonly killed.
Soon, the formation was broken, and the Heavenly Court was in danger.
Countless members of the Heavenly Courts died miserably in the hands of the Evil Spirits. Their corpses piled up like mountains and dyed the hall red.
Seeing this, Shen Tian's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He had seen his former comrades die tragically at the hands of the Evil Spirit Thearch, but he still had to protect the Heavenly Courts.
This was the holy land in their hearts.
Even at the cost of his life, he would not retreat even half a step.
But in the end, the Heavenly Court was destroyed and forever trapped in the North Sea.
More than half of the 108 Heavenly Generals had died, and they were about to be completely annihilated.
Shen Tian roared angrily, his blood boiling. He wished he could kill his way out of the river of time and kill the Evil Spirit Thearch.
However, he could not kill his way out.
Once the cause and effect were changed, something terrifying would definitely happen.
Regardless of whether it was the present or the future, there could be unforeseen events.
…
Fortunately, the situation suddenly changed.
A woman holding a silver longsword and surrounded by chaotic energy rose to power.
She had used the Chaotic Tinder Art to kill seven Thearchs and resolve the crisis of the five regions.
In this battle, she successfully became a Martial Emperor.
After that, she led the remnants of the Heavenly Court and successfully charged into the Celestial Realm.
Before she left, she looked back at the five regions.
Her gaze contained many emotions.
Shen Tian's eyes rippled as he muttered to himself, "Xiaoxiao!"
He recognized the white-clothed woman. It was Shen Xiao, who had been following him all this time.
After Shen Tian disappeared, she had no distractions.
She abandoned all the prosperity of the world and entered seclusion to study the Chaotic Tinder Art.
In the end, she successfully comprehended this supreme technique.
She also created the Heaven-Devouring Earth Art and obtained the Postnatal Chaotic Body.
It was also because of Shen Xiao's rise that the five regions were not destroyed.
...
Shen Tian watched with a smile as he witnessed Shen Xiao's invincible rise.
She fought all the way, dyeing the sky red with blood, killing until the Evil Spirits were terrified.
She tempered herself in battle and grew stronger through devouring.
In the end, Shen Xiao became supreme and led the ten thousand races of the Celestial Realm to fight against the Evil Spirits.
She was respected by the world as the peerless Great Empress, supreme!
However, Shen Tian discovered that she often looked into the void.
Her back view was bleak, as if she was waiting for someone to return.
Seeing this scene, Shen Tian's body trembled.
He finally knew that the Great Empress he had met back then was Shen Xiao.
And the person she had been waiting for was him!
...
In the sky above the Chaotic Star Island domain...
A huge crack appeared in the sky, and the laws were in chaos.
Shen Tian walked out of the void and floated in the Endless Sea Region.
At that moment, the Kunlun Mirror's energy was exhausted.
In the end, it turned into an ordinary ancient mirror, its light dim.
Shen Tian could feel that this space-time travel had exhausted the power that the Kunlun Mirror had accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years.
He kept the Kunlun Mirror.
Perhaps there would be a chance for it to recover in the future.
Shen Tian looked around and confirmed that this was the Chaotic Star Island domain.
However, he did not know what the situation in the five regions was like.
Shen Tian leaped up and rushed toward Black Dragon Island in North Sea.
Along the way, he discovered that the current situation of the five regions was almost the same as 490,000 years ago.
The flames of war were everywhere, and the Evil Spirit race was wreaking havoc.
The entire North Sea was suffering a calamity!
In the billions of miles of territory, there was not a single member of the ocean race. There were only endless Evil Spirits.
"Could it be that the Evil Spirit race has launched an all-out attack?"
Shen Tian's eyes were solemn.
He used the domain teleportation formation and rushed to Black Dragon Island.
...
Black Dragon Island!
Smoke rose everywhere, and the flames of war raged.
In the sky above the Black Dragon Island, a dozen or so Immortal Evil Immortals were glaring at them.
Behind him, the Evil Spirit army was like a black tide that covered the sky.
Their auras were terrifying, covering the sky.
A barrier of light enveloped Black Dragon Island, completely sealing it off.
The power of the Dragon God surged, isolating the Evil Spirits in the heavens.
This was a great formation left behind by the ancestors of the Black Dragon Island. Its defensive power was boundless.
However, after being besieged by more than ten Perfected Immortals, the formation became unstable and could shatter at any moment.
The Old Dragon King, Ao Ye, Ao Wu, Ao Bing, and the others stood in front of Black Dragon Island, ready for battle.
Apart from them, the North Sea demons were also gathered here.
Their gazes were resolute and unafraid of death.
This calamity wasn't something the North Sea monster spirits could withstand.
Once the formation was broken, doomsday would descend.
"Can the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty send reinforcements?"
Kun Ming's tone was solemn as he tried to find a chance of survival.
Ao Ye shook his head and sighed. "The attack on the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty is far more terrifying than that of North Sea.
"This time, I'm afraid there's no way to reverse the situation."
They had received a message from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty that no one could send reinforcements.
Because the five regions had fallen into a calamity.
Every region was being attacked by the Evil Spirit army.
The attack on Middle Ground was far more terrifying than that of the other regions.
"Could it be that North Sea is going to be destroyed today?"
Kun Xu looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling deeply helpless.
Now, the Evil Spirit race had launched an all-out attack.
Such an attack was no longer something they could contend against.
After all, North Sea only had one Sub-Thearch, the old Dragon King. How could he contend against more than ten Perfected Immortals?
Boom!
At that moment, the formation's light barrier was finally shattered.
The evil fog invaded this place and covered the sky.
More than ten Perfected Immortals stood in the void with terrifying gazes. "Evil Spirit army, kill all these ants!"
Countless Evil Spirits poured out with terrifying might, overturning the sun, moon, and stars.
This scene caused everyone to despair.
"Even if I die, I won't let these vile creatures have an easy time!"
Kun Xu let out a long and tragic roar.
He had already decided to die. He wanted to perish together with these Evil Spirits!
"Kill!"
The old Dragon King, Ao Ye, and the others also roared angrily.
Everyone soared into the sky, wanting to fight to the death with the Evil Spirits!
However, they knew that this battle was hopeless.
...
At that moment, the void surged.
A figure walked out of the void, his aura shaking heaven and earth.
His white robe fluttered in the wind, and he stood aloof from the world.
Seeing this person, everyone from North Sea was stunned, their eyes incomparably dazzling.
Shock, surprise, astonishment!
All sorts of emotions were vented out!
"That's... the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!"
"The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader has returned!"
They recognized Shen Tian's identity, and their expressions were incomparably excited.
Previously, when North Sea was in danger, it was Shen Tian who had stepped forward to save this world.
Disappearing for 100 years did not affect his position in everyone's hearts at all.
At such a critical juncture, Shen Tian's reappearance brought hope to everyone.
The eyes of the Perfected Immortals flickered. They had also heard of Shen Tian's name.
Back then, the Immortal Evil Spirit had died in Shen Tian's hands.
Seeing Shen Tian appear, the Perfected Immortals' eyes became even more cruel.
"Brat, you refused to take the path to heaven and barged into hell!
Today, your soul shall be buried in North Sea! "
The Perfected Immortal Evil Spirit spoke coldly, his aura incomparably fierce.
Shen Tian's fame in the five regions was only because he had killed Perfected Immortals.
However, the Perfected Immortals did not care at all.
Killing a Perfected Immortal did not mean that he could kill more than 10 Perfected Immortals!
The Evil Spirits planned to take revenge for the Immortal Evil Spirit and kill Shen Tian.
The Perfected Immortals moved together and charged toward Shen Tian.
The sky was overturned, and endless black fog surged, causing the sun and moon to lose their color.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. "Be careful!"
The old Dragon King even rushed forward, trying to help Shen Tian resolve the pressure.
After all, there were too many Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits, and their power was extremely terrifying.
Everyone did not understand Shen Tian's current battle prowess, so they were worried that he would be in danger.
...
However, Shen Tian was extremely indifferent.
He gently raised his hand and slapped forward.
Boom!
In an instant, the 10,000 miles of territory instantly collapsed.
The Perfected Immortals did not even have the chance to scream before they directly exploded into a bloody mist.
Even the Evil Spirit army of hundreds of thousands was instantly crushed and dissipated from the world.
Heaven and earth regained clarity, leaving only the dumbfounded ocean race.
...
Kun Xu, Ao Ye, and the others were dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened.
The old Dragon King instantly froze on the spot, his body trembling violently.
Even a Sub-Thearch was extremely shocked to see this scene.
In just 100 years, Shen Tian had actually become so terrifying.
He could kill Perfected Immortals as if he was slaughtering dogs with a flick of his finger?
This power was simply too terrifying!
"Awoo, North Sea's savior has reappeared!
"The Evil Spirit whelps are all dead!"
Ao Wu was the first to react. He hurriedly rushed into the sky, his face full of admiration.
Shen Tian smiled.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his old friend was safe.
He had been afraid that some unforeseen event would occur. Fortunately, he had made it in time.
At that moment, Ao Bing also flew over.
She looked deeply at Shen Tian and murmured, "You... are finally back!"
Shen Tian nodded. "Yes, I was delayed by some matters!"
Ao Bing knew that Shen Tian had entered the Chaotic Star Sea.
However, she did not expect that he would be gone for another 100 years.
"Where's Ao Xue!?"
Shen Tian asked. He did not see Shen Ao Xue.
Ao Bing explained, "Ao Xue is at Jixia Academy. Due to the five regions' calamity, she was unable to rush back."
Shen Tian frowned slightly. "What about the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?"
This was where he belonged, so he naturally cared about it.
Ao Bing spoke again. "The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is fine.
"The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is the strongest faction outside of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.
"It has developed extremely quickly in just 100 years, and dozens of Sub-Immortals have appeared.
"Elder Zhang Longyuan and Elder Chu Longhe have even broken through to the Sub-Thearch realm."
Shen Tian nodded slightly. It was within his expectations.
Before he left, he had brought many supreme inheritances back to the sacred ground.
100 years was enough for many geniuses to rise.
Then, Ao Bing's tone changed.
"When we sent a message for help, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had already dealt with the powerful enemy and planned to send reinforcements.
"However, due to the crisis in Middle Ground, it was extremely tragic.
"Therefore, Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe led the Divine Firmament army to reinforce the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty!"
Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was fine.
Then, he frowned. "The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty has been besieged, and they can't escape to provide reinforcements?"
The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was the strongest faction in the five regions.
There were countless experts among them, and there was even a supreme expert like Huang Shi guarding them.
With such a foundation, they were still in danger?
Ao Bing nodded with a solemn gaze. "The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty has suffered the most terrifying attack in history.
"There are nearly 1,000 Perfected Immortals, and there are even living beings above the Perfected Immortal realm.
"Huang Shi has been besieged and is unable to escape."
Shen Tian's gaze was solemn. "Huang Shi has been besieged and is unable to escape."
Huang Shi could be said to be one of the elders that Shen Tian respected the most.
At the same time, he was also the strongest person in the five regions.
Such an expert had actually been besieged by the Evil Spirit race.
Could it be that an Evil Spirit Thearch had descended?
...
Shen Tian's expression was solemn as he prepared to rush to Middle Ground.
The current crisis in the five regions was not any weaker than 490,000 years ago.
Nearly a thousand Perfected Immortals moved out. It was a terrifying lineup.
Even if all the Sub-Thearchs of the five regions gathered together, they might not be able to withstand such a force.
He had to rush over as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen events from happening.
"I'll go too!"
At this time, the Old Dragon King also walked out.
His cultivation had reached 27 Tribulation Sub-Thearchs and his combat strength was so strong that he could fight against several Perfected Immortals.
Now that North Sea's crisis had been resolved, he wanted to contribute his strength to the five regions.
"Alright!"
Shen Tian nodded slightly and began to set up a great domain formation that led straight to the Central Continent.
Now that the situation was critical, there was no time to waste.
The formation was quickly set up and emitted a majestic aura.
Shen Tian and the Old Dragon King entered the formation and headed for the Central Plains.
…
Central State Great Heavenly Prefecture.
The head of the Central State's Nine Prefectures, and also the strongest region.
This was the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty's base.
In the past, this was a place of pilgrimage, and Evil Spirits could not invade.
Yet now, it had become a scene of desolation, the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting.
The periphery of the Great Wilderness Prefecture had long been surrounded by a dense Evil Spirit army.
Close to a thousand Perfected Immortals pressed down, overturning ten thousand miles of territory.
A terrifying evil aura swept through heaven and earth, as if it wanted to completely bury this world.
There were countless Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits, and they filled the void.
Their eyes were ferocious and evil to the extreme, like evil spirits.
...
This scene caused everyone's hearts to tremble.
Those with lower cultivation levels had long fainted from fear.
As for cultivators above the Sage realm, their hearts also trembled.
This calamity was too terrifying, causing countless people to feel despair.
The Evil Spirit race had been plotting for many years, planning to destroy the five regions in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, the Great Wilderness Prefecture had set up a supreme formation to seal off this place, temporarily isolating the Evil Spirits.
However, the situation was still very bad for them.
After all, this power far exceeded the past.
Moreover, the Celestial World was unable to send reinforcements.
The five regions were in a terrifying crisis, and it was difficult to resist.
...
Many experts stood on the city walls of the Great Wilderness Prefecture.
Shi Tianzi, the War King, and the Jixia Academy teachers...
Their expressions were solemn as they waited for the arrival of the Evil Spirits.
The Evil Spirits had invaded!
This calamity was endless, and no one could see any chance of survival.
Who knew how long they could last?
Where was hope?
