There were still two months before the biggest festival of the Southern Ming Continent, the Full Moon Festival. During this period of time, all the major forces had begun to prepare for the festival. Although the Full Moon Festival was held every year, this year was the 10-year celebration, so it would be particularly intense. The five major countries had also begun to prepare. This was the only thing that could make people feel relaxed in the strange atmosphere of the Southern Ming Continent.
Different from the general festival, the Full Moon Festival would be held everywhere. Especially when the moon was full, it was the most prosperous moment of the whole festival. Because at that time, the entire Southern Ming Continent would have a tide of spiritual power, and the density of spiritual power would increase sharply in a short time. It was the best time to cultivate and comprehend.
Usually, this kind of tide might only be a small matter, but this time was different because this year was the 10-year celebration. At that time, the tide of spiritual power would be extremely strong. If the opportunity was grasped well, many cultivators who were troubled by the bottleneck of cultivation were expected to have a breakthrough. Therefore, everyone attached great importance to this Full Moon Festival.
However, on the day of the Full Moon Festival, a piece of news completely exploded the entire Southern Ming Continent.
Imperial Capital of the Fire Country.
A black figure appeared in the sky. He was wearing a black trench coat with red clouds. His face was full of strange black sticks. A pair of lavender wave-shaped eyes looked down at the huge city under his feet. He was like a god.
The person who came was none other than Pain Tendo controlled by Zero of the Akatsuki.
At the moment when Tendo appeared, the national protection array of the Fire Country sensed his invasion. A roaring sound suddenly sounded. Countless cultivators flew up from all over the imperial capital and rushed in the direction of Pain Tendo. The imperial palace of the Fire Country also raised a huge defensive array at this moment to prevent Tendo from attacking the imperial family.
However, Pain Tendo didn't seem to have any intention to attack. His indifferent Rinnegan stared at his feet, and he didn't launch any attack. He even let the people of the Fire Country surround him.
Such a big movement in the Fire Country's imperial capital naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the city. Soon, whether it was cultivators or mortals, they all saw Pain floating in the air. Most of their faces were filled with bewilderment.
They were clear about the grudge between [Akatsuki] organization and country of fire, moreover, this grudge was basically irreconcilable. [Akatsuki]'s real name was Zhou Yu, he was the seventh prince of country of fire, but he was wanted by country of fire as a traitor prince. Although the reason was unknown, but [Akatsuki] took in the number one wanted criminal of country of fire, they were already standing on the opposite side of the entire country of fire. This time, [Akatsuki]'s leader and spokesperson of [Zero], Pain, appeared, what this signified made many people uneasy.
"I am Zero of [Akatsuki]. Today, I came to the Fire Country for only one thing!"
Pain's indifferent and oppressive voice reverberated throughout the entire Imperial Capital of the Fire Country. No matter where one was, as long as one was in the Imperial Capital of the Fire Country, one could clearly hear Pain's voice.
"During the Full Moon Festival, the god of [Akatsuki] will arrive at the Imperial Capital, and personally destroy the foundation of the Fire Country for thousands of years!"
The voice of Pain Tendo carried the pressure of looking down on all living things, and unceasingly reverberated throughout the Imperial Capital of the Fire Country, and didn't disperse for a long time.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Imperial Capital of the Fire Country was dumbfounded, then they burst into an uproar one after another. Some people felt that Pain was overestimating his own ability, and some people felt that the Fire Country was about to face a great disaster. But no matter what, during this Full Moon Festival, perhaps not many people would be able to enjoy the scenery of the night with peace of mind.
"Humph! What big guts, I didn't go to look for trouble with you, but you delivered yourself to my doorstep! Full Moon Festival, if you dare to come, I will definitely turn your [Akatsuki] organization into ashes! " A terrifying aura erupted from the direction of the imperial palace, and golden rays of light formed a huge figure of several hundred meters tall. It was precisely the emperor of the Fire Country, Zhou Yu's elder brother, Zhou Hui!
Facing this terrifying pressure, Pain Tendo's expression didn't fluctuate in the slightest, nor did he show any cowardice. As the last sovereign of the Radiant God Sect who once unified the Southern Ming Continent, a powerful Dacheng stage cultivator, the imposing manner possessed by Pain Tendo wasn't something a small emperor of the Fire Country could compare with. He stood there like the core of the entire world.
"On this day, everyone in the Imperial Capital of the Fire Country is the enemy of [Akatsuki]!"
Pain Tendo didn't respond to Zhou Hui, as if he didn't put him in his eyes at all, but at this moment, he spoke words that threatened the entire continent.
"Kill him for me!" Zhou Hui saw that Pain didn't respond, so he directly issued a kill order.
However, in the next moment, the figure of Pain Tendo directly disappeared from the sky, leaving no trace, just like when he came, no trace at all.
From the time Pain Tendo appeared to the time he left, he merely lasted for several tens of breaths of time in the eyes of everyone, but the impact it caused was huge for the entire continent.
The news of [Akatsuki] organization declaring war on the Fire Country quickly spread throughout the entire continent at lightning speed, causing an uproar in the entire continent. Many people had already begun to prepare to go to the Fire Country to watch the war. For everyone, this would be the first peak showdown of the entire continent, and no one was willing to miss such an opportunity.
And at the same time, the Fire Country also began to gather people on a large scale, looking for allies.
As a country that had existed on this continent for thousands of years, there were still many forces that were closely aligned with the interests of the Fire Country. Moreover, from the beginning of [Akatsuki]'s appearance, they had provoked many enemies, and these people were the targets of their roping.
And this was also the intention of [Akatsuki] when they declared war, that was, to let the Fire Country gather all their enemies together, and thus catch them all in one fell swoop.
Fire Country's Song family, Blood Spirit Sect … … Water Country's Thousand Valleys … … other royal families of the five major countries … …
Zhou Hui began to do his best to rope in all the possible allies. He was very clear that this was a huge gamble, but he had no other choice. Escape? That's impossible! And if he stayed, he could only fight to the death. And in almost everyone's opinion, the Fire Country would not be defeated! But only Zhou Hui knew clearly in his heart that [Akatsuki] dared to declare war, they must have deep confidence. He would rather appear a bit weak at this time than to underestimate the enemy.
Very soon, the Fire Country received a response. Majority of the forces that had enmity with [Akatsuki] accepted his invitation. Even many loose cultivators wanted to use this opportunity to obtain rewards from the Fire Country, and they were also accepted by Zhou Hui. He didn't refuse anyone, and in a short period of time, he gathered several hundred Deity Stage cultivators outside the Fire Country. Moreover, there were many forces and sects that sought refuge with the Fire Country.
No one thought that the Fire Country would be defeated. This was a gamble without any suspense. They had staked all their assets in one go, waiting for the moment of victory.
