Tensei stood in the sky a hundred miles away from the Imperial City. The scene that greeted his eyes made Tensei frown.
He had not returned for ten years and the Imperial City of the Fire Divine Dominion had been reduced to ruins!
Not only had it been reduced to ruins, but the city had also become the world of demonic beasts. Countless demonic beasts had gathered and there were even more than ten Divine Beasts!
The Imperial City had been occupied by beasts!
"Master, you must have returned in the wrong way. The Imperial Army of the Fire Emperor couldn't stop these demonic beasts?" Qian appeared and sat on Tensei's shoulder as he muttered.
Tensei's facial muscles trembled slightly as he carefully scanned the area with his soul power. Other than the Heavenly Inscription Tablet, everything else had been reduced to ruins. From the looks of it, they had been destroyed for two to three years.
"All the way here, the other cities were fine. Why did the Imperial City become like this?" Tensei stared ahead suspiciously. The Imperial City had been occupied by beasts!
"Haha, a human has come to die. Little ones, tear him apart!" Suddenly, a thunderous laughter came from the city.
Amidst the laughter, the demonic beasts stepped into the air. After looking around, they fixed their target on Tensei and flew towards him.
"They are Divine Emperor Realm Divine Beasts. Master, we are in trouble!" Qian's body tensed up as he hurriedly said.
If they were Divine Beasts with low cultivation, the Netherworld Sword Beast could use its bloodline to suppress them. However, Divine Emperor Realm Divine Beasts were not something a Divine Monarch Realm Netherworld Sword Beast could suppress.
Therefore, Tensei did not plan to release the Netherworld Sword Beast. With a flick of his finger, the Emperor's Ten Thousand Swords whistled and flew out. They carried an indomitable aura as they slammed into the horde of beasts. For a moment, blood rained down from the sky. Tensei's mind also rang with a series of notifications.
"Sword God? Let me do it! " The thunderous voice from before sounded again, as if it had discovered something new, and it actually carried a strong sense of excitement.
Immediately after, a ferocious Black Dragon soared into the sky from the city. Its body was only about three meters long, but Tensei knew that it was just a smaller body. Moreover, this Black Dragon was covered with ferocious sarcomas that made one's scalp tingle.
"Two-tailed Poison Dragon! Wow, this Mythological Beast is too shameless. It actually wants to attack someone who is two realms lower than it! "Qian said angrily.
"This is the Double-Tailed Poison Dragon?" Tensei stared intently at the Mythological Beast that soared into the sky, but he didn't see its second tail. It was said that once its second tail appeared, the land would be littered with corpses.
That was because its strongest poison was in its second tail.
Seeing the Double-Tailed Poison Dragon rushing towards him, Tensei swept his eyes over the Heaven Inscription Monument in the city. Without any time to think, he turned around and retreated. There were countless Monster Beasts guarding the place, so it was impossible for Tensei to take the Heaven Inscription Monument. He could only retreat first, and then secretly take it.
"You want to leave? Haha! " The Double-Tailed Poison Dragon laughed. Its body suddenly expanded, and in an instant, it turned into a Black Dragon that was thousands of miles long. It stretched out its claws and swiped at Tensei.
Before the dragon claws arrived, a tyrannical pressure had already pressed down on Tensei's body. At this moment, Tensei felt his entire body fill with a chill. Without any hesitation, he erupted with all his strength and displayed the Underworld Dragon's Three Transformations.
"Eh? Good. Although I am no longer a member of the Dragon Race, I still found out that you dared to refine a treasure related to my Dragon Race. Boy, I have to say, you are dead! " The Double-Tailed Poison Dragon coldly snorted. From Tensei's aura, he had already discovered that Tensei had refined a treasure belonging to the Dragon Race.
This was a great taboo of the Dragon Race. If they saw such a person, it would be strange if they didn't go all out. Even if the Double-Tailed Poison Dragon claimed to have left the Dragon Race, it still couldn't accept such a fact.
Tensei rushed away. He saw that the ground he had been standing on had become a massive crater that was dozens of miles wide. A tyrannical aura surged within the crater, causing one's scalp to tingle.
Facing a Divine Sovereign realm existence, Tensei didn't have the slightest chance of victory unless he used the God Slaying Sword. Thus, Tensei only had a single thought in his mind, and that was to escape!
Just as he was about to use the Avīci Divine Escape Art to escape, a brilliant light suddenly appeared in the skies. It startled the Double-Tailed Poison Dragon and Tensei, causing them to stare at it with rapt attention. They saw a middle-aged man in battle armor rushing towards the Double-Tailed Poison Dragon like a bolt of lightning!
"Xuan Zhangming!" Tensei recognized him. Without waiting for Tensei to say anything, Xuan Zhangming's voice rang in Tensei's mind, "You go first, wait for me a million miles to the east."
Tensei didn't hesitate and used the Avīci Divine Escape Art to escape, stopping a million miles away. He turned around and looked in the direction of the Imperial City.
Not long after, Xuan Zhangming flew over with black qi around him. His face was a little pale as he cupped his fists, "You're finally back. There have been so many things happening in the past few years, sigh!"
"Lord Commander, you've been poisoned, let's detoxify the poison first!" Tensei took out a divine pellet and sized Xuan Zhangming up and down.
Xuan Zhangming swallowed the divine pellet and turned to look in the direction of the Imperial City, letting out a long sigh.
"Lord Commander, where are the others?" Tensei asked.
"Two years ago, they were all moved to the Devil God Domain. At that time, the Imperial City suffered heavy casualties. However, Tensei, you don't have to worry, not a single hair on the Heavenly Jade Hotel's people was harmed." Xuan Zhangming said.
Tensei heaved a sigh of relief. That's good, the Fire Emperor must have known that he had a close relationship with the Heavenly Jade Hotel, so he ordered people to protect it!
Furthermore, the Heavenly Jade Hotel had Nangong Hong, a Deity Emperor, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to lead everyone to safety.
"Two years ago, we joined forces with the Devil Emperor and took over the Divine Wood Domain. However, we didn't expect that while the Fire Domain was defenseless, the beasts of the Beast Domain would make their move and take over the Imperial City in one go. We didn't have time to defend ourselves." Xuan Zhangming shook his head and sighed.
Tensei was stunned. They obtained the Divine Wood Domain but lost half of the Fire Domain. The Fire Emperor must be so angry that he vomited blood, and the Devil Emperor must be rejoicing in their misfortune!
After a moment of silence, Tensei asked, "Are they all settled in the Devil God Domain?"
Xuan Zhangming nodded, "The Devil Emperor is quite righteous. He built a city beside the Devil God Domain's Imperial City for the people of the Fire Domain to live in. After these two years, everyone has gotten used to it."
"His Majesty told me to wait for you near the Imperial City. These two years, I've been hiding near the Imperial City. Finally, I managed to find you."
Tensei nodded slightly. The Fire Domain wasn't safe now. Although it wasn't appropriate to move everyone to the Devil God Domain, it was the best way to ensure their safety.
However, Tensei had a feeling that this matter wasn't as simple as the Beast Domain's invasion. Maybe, someone was behind it.
Regardless, the Devil Emperor and Fire Emperor were the protectors of the Tian Family's descendants. Now that the two royal families were together, he might be able to find out something.
"Tensei, there's something I don't know if I should say." After a moment of silence, Xuan Zhangming said thoughtfully.
Tensei turned to look at Xuan Zhangming and said calmly, "Lord Commander, are you trying to say that the Fire Domain's calamity was caused by the Demon God Domain in secret?"
Xuan Zhangming was taken aback. He hurriedly cupped his fists, "That's exactly what I mean. Looking at the current situation, the Demon God Domain is the one who benefited the most. It's very likely that they secretly allied with the Beast Domain!"
Tensei shook his head slightly, "No matter who did it, Lord Commander, do you think it's important?"
Xuan Zhangming frowned, "Tensei, the Fire Domain is in this state because of you. How could you say something like that?"
