The army of Hell had invaded the Shadow Realm and destroyed Youyue Divine Palace and other top forces. They had taken control of the Shadow Realm.
This news quickly spread throughout the Nine Realms. The forces of the Nine Realms were shocked. Everyone was in danger.
The Dark Court had officially stepped onto the path of invasion.
This meant that they had truly made a comeback. The chaotic war that had ended more than 300 years ago had begun once again.
How could the forces of the Nine Realms not be worried? Who knew if the next target of the Dark Court would be their realm?
Once the Dark Court's army arrived, a single faction would not be able to stop them. Youyue Divine Palace was already a very powerful faction, and they even had experts from the Divine Prefecture's High Sects. But now they had been annihilated. The palace master of Youyue Divine Palace had been killed, and a top figure had been unable to escape.
Ye Futian and the others had received the news a little earlier because Goddess Chang Xi of Youyue Divine Palace had escaped to the Heavenly Mandate Realm. She was one of the few who had managed to escape alive. She had been able to survive because her master had stood in front of her and held back the enemy's army, giving her a chance to escape.
Besides Chang Xi, there were also some cultivators of Youyue Divine Palace who had escaped with her. They had all come to the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
Ye Futian and the others were waiting for the news in the Heavenly Mandate Academy. When the news arrived, Ye Futian told Chang Xi and the people of Youyue Divine Palace that Youyue Divine Palace had been destroyed. The Palace Lord had died in battle.
The moment they heard the news, the cultivators of Youyue Divine Palace fell silent. It was frighteningly quiet.
"My condolences, Goddess." Ye Futian saw that Chang Xi had not said anything. The atmosphere was a little tense. He tried to comfort her, but it was useless.
No matter who faced such a situation, they would be heartbroken. It was not something that could be comforted with a few words.
Chang Xi lifted her head slightly and looked at Ye Futian. Her expression was lonely. At this moment, she did not have the lovely beauty of the past. Instead, she looked pitiful. Her beautiful eyes seemed a little lifeless.
"The Nine Realms are in turmoil. I knew that chaos was coming, but I did not expect it to be so sudden and for it to happen to me," Chang Xi murmured. "It feels like a dream."
Even though she was a cultivator at the Renhuang Plane, she still felt that it was unreal.
Youyue Divine Palace had been the most powerful force in the Shadow Realm. They had always stood at the peak of the Shadow Realm. Who would have thought that they would suddenly be reduced to ashes overnight? No one else would be able to understand this feeling.
As for Chang Xi, she was the Goddess of Youyue Divine Palace. No one was more shocked than she was.
"The world is changing too fast. No one knows what will happen tomorrow," Ye Futian replied in a low voice. He was touched.
It was the same with the Divine Palace. These days, everyone seemed to have gradually gotten used to it. Before this, whether it was the Heavenly Mandate Realm or the Higher Heavens Realm, many top forces had already become history. Now looking back, forces such as the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Divine Sword Li Family were once all-powerful and stood at the top of all realms, but all of them had been annihilated overnight.
In this world, nothing was eternal.
Now that he was in the Heavenly Mandate Academy, he felt a strong sense of crisis. It was the same for the Heavenly Mandate Academy. It had experienced a few upheavals. Perhaps one day, it would no longer exist. If that really happened, perhaps he would not be surprised.
"The Army of Hell has invaded the Shadow Realm, and it is possible that they will continue to invade other realms. We must be careful here at the Heavenly Mandate Academy." Chang Xi seemed to have thought of something. She reminded Ye Futian, "Moreover, those who escaped from Youyue Divine Palace should have already gone to other realms."
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded. "I heard that Princess Donghuang is still at the Empty Imperial Palace. News of this will surely reach the Empty Imperial Palace soon. Since the Army of Darkness has already made their move, Princess Donghuang will not sit idly by. I believe that she will act soon."
"Mmm." Chang Xi nodded. "The Nine Realms are now in a state of disunity. Each has its own agenda. Only Princess Donghuang can command the forces of the Nine Realms."
Ye Futian understood this as well. These days, there seemed to be undercurrents surging in the Nine Realms. This caused the relationships between many forces to be extremely tense. He had heard Dou Zhao mention a few times that the atmosphere in the Ziwei Realm was tense.
Now that he looked at it again, was the Dark Court behind all of this?
After all, the more chaotic the forces of the Nine Realms were, the more advantageous it was for the Dark Court. There was no way for them to coalesce into a powerful force.
He had not expected that while the situation in the Nine Realms was chaotic, the conflicts here would erupt one after another. At this time, the Army of Darkness of the Dark Court would launch an invasion.
Now, under such circumstances, with the overall strength of the Army of Darkness, no matter which realm they went to, they would be invincible. Perhaps only the power of the Central Emperor Realm could resist them.
After a while, a top figure descended in the sky above the Heavenly Mandate Academy. This person was clad in armor and bathed in divine light. He looked like a peerless god of war.
Many people in the Heavenly Mandate Academy looked up at him. Ye Futian looked at him as well. He vaguely recognized this person. It was a cultivator who had been by Princess Donghuang's side.
"The Princess's order." The divine general stood in the void and said in a clear voice, "Now that the Army of Darkness has invaded and occupied the Shadow Realm, they may launch a war against other realms at any time. Therefore, the land of the Nine Realms will build a teleportation grand matrix with the Empty Imperial Palace as the center. All forces in the Nine Realms can use the teleportation grand matrix to connect to the Empty Imperial Palace. In this way, the forces of the Nine Realms can use the Empty Imperial Palace to converge in any of the Nine Realms in a short period of time. Does the Heavenly Mandate Academy have any objections?"
In the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Lord Taixuan said, "Listen to the Princess's order."
"Very well, the Empty Imperial Palace will send people here to set up the grand matrix. The Heavenly Mandate Realm will use the Heavenly Mandate Academy as the center to set up the matrix," the divine general in the void said in a clear voice. With the Empty Imperial Palace as the center, they would connect to all realms.
In this way, the situation of the Shadow Realm would not occur again, where it was directly attacked and destroyed.
"Very well," Lord Taixuan said again. Facing the Dark Court was no longer a matter of one force.
If the Army of Darkness came to the Heavenly Mandate Academy, they would not be able to withstand it.
Princess Donghuang also sent people to the other realms, preparing to set up powerful super grand matrixes in all realms and connect them to the Empty Imperial Palace.
At the same time, in the Shadow Realm, Youyue Divine Palace had already been occupied by the Dark Court.
However, the Dark Court seemed to be busy with something. They were setting up something on the destroyed Youyue Divine Palace. Stone pillars that led to Hell were inserted into the ground, all the way into the ground. Endless lightning of death circled around the stone pillars.
Not only that, but there seemed to be some mysterious connection between these stone pillars, forming a terrifying aura that was extremely powerful and destructive.
What was even more frightening was that many of the Army of Darkness from the Hidden Land Realm were busy with this matter. It seemed as if there was no rest, causing more and more stone pillars to appear in Hell. The aura also grew stronger and stronger. It was so strong that it made people's hearts palpitate.
"What are they doing?" In the distance, a bold person looked over and asked.
What were the Army of Darkness doing?
As the number of stone pillars increased, it gradually formed a terrifying magnetic field. There was a terrible rumbling sound, and the ground was probably shaking.
In another direction, the leader of the Army of Darkness, the Lord of the Underworld, was watching all of this.
Behind him, the Son of God Qi Ye asked the Lord of the Underworld, "Is there really a divine item buried underground in the Shadow Realm?"
"Of course," the Lord of the Underworld replied. "Otherwise, why would the Nine Supreme Imperial Realms be the core of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path?"
"It seems that this task is a bit difficult." Qi Ye stared ahead. It would not be easy to find the divine item. They were already making arrangements.
At that moment, brilliant divine light lit up in the sky, piercing through all the darkness. It was incomparably dazzling.
In an instant, countless people looked up into the sky and saw a divine general coming, bathed in divine light.
The powerful divine general who had been standing behind Princess Donghuang had arrived.
He came alone to the Youyue Divine Palace that had been occupied by the Lord of the Underworld.
The Lord of the Underworld and the divine general's gazes met. Suddenly, a terrifying aura formed. Everyone around them looked askance at them.
"Buzz."
The divine general stretched out his hand. Immediately, countless dazzling golden divine spears fell from the sky, turning into a golden divine rain that enveloped the vast and boundless void within.
At that moment, the Army of Darkness was somewhat flustered. Was this person so confident in his own strength?
He had come here alone. He was simply too arrogant.
The Lord of the Underworld naturally saw this as well. He stretched out his hands. Suddenly, endless black holes appeared, swallowing up and spitting out terrifying vortexes. He wanted to block the divine general's attack.
Since this person was the one who protected Princess Donghuang, there was no need to doubt his strength. Even the Lord of the Underworld did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
"Rumble …" The golden divine spear turned into a brilliant radiance, faster than lightning, and directly pierced into the boundless whirlpool of hell.
With a crackling sound, the golden divine light rushed out from the other end of the vortex, forcibly breaking it apart.
Moreover, the golden divine light spread and covered the endless sky like a golden meteor shower. Those with lower cultivation levels could not withstand it at all. This Divine General did not have the slightest intention of showing mercy. Clearly, he also wanted to kill!
