Chapter 1723: Blood-Stained Time Sky (3)

In the central and southern parts of the Eastern Divine Region, countless terrifyingly powerful demonic auras simultaneously erupted without reservation. Space was twisted layer upon layer, and light was mercilessly swallowed.

To the south of the Eastern Region, within a dilapidated-looking profound ark, capable of holding only hundreds of thousands of people and appearing utterly ordinary, a figure slowly rose amidst a black mist.

It was none other than Yama Emperor Yan Tianxiao!

"Kill!"

A single, chilling word presaged endless mountains of bones and seas of corpses.

Around him, Yama Devils, Yama Ghosts, and Yama Soldiers shot out countless black rays, piercing into the turbulent Eastern Divine Region.

On the other side, led by the Great Deviless Jie Xin and Jie Ling, the Devilesses, Soul Spirits, and Soul Attendants of the Soul Stealing Realm all bared their dark fangs.

The Emperor Heaven Realm led by Tian Muyi, the Disaster Wild Realm led by Huo Tianxing, the Divine Python Realm led by Viper Sage Sovereign...

All the "strongholds" pinpointed by Chi Wuyao and Qianye Ying'er in the dark projection erupted with world-devouring dark maelstroms.

The mid and lower star realms in the northern part of the Eastern Region were conquered layer by layer, and all attention was focused on the north of the Eastern Region. They would never have dreamed that while chaos reigned in the north, the King Realms of the Northern Divine Region, along with more than half of its upper star realms, had already quietly infiltrated the central and southern territories of the Eastern Divine Region.

Among the profound arks and profound ships that had frantically fled from the Northern Realm profound world, countless devils were hidden.

However, no one noticed.

Because the aura of devils is too easy to identify, and devils' auras are too prone to losing control, it is fundamentally impossible for a single devil to conceal their aura for long, let alone a group of devils.

This was the most basic understanding that had existed since the beginning of the God Realm, deeply ingrained for millions of years regarding devils.

And what is most undefendable and terrifying in this world is precisely something that transcends "the most basic understanding."

The Cataclysmic Devil Calamity truly descended at this moment.

Dark blood and carnage instantly swept across countless lands of the Eastern Region.

The south of the Eastern Divine Region had just had its core forces, including over 140 upper star realms and their realm kings, transferred away by the Eternal Heaven God Realm.

What followed immediately was the endless darkness of the Northern Divine Region, including its two King Realms!

When Yun Che's "Voice of Eternal Heaven" permeated the Eastern Divine Region, the true nightmare descended mercilessly.

At the Eternal Heaven God Realm, as its core teleportation grand array was destroyed, three terrifyingly powerful dark forces erupted from three directions. Everyone in Eternal Heaven was alarmed. The remaining guardians, Eternal Heaven elders, adjudicators... and all the Eternal Heaven disciples from various palaces and halls poured out, rushing towards the sources of the three demonic auras.

Venerable Taiyu remained still. He looked ahead, his pupils severely constricted, and his scalp tightened sharply.

Because the dark malevolence emanating from the three directions was so powerful it defied his belief.

Of the three auras, the weakest one... was actually no less powerful than the Eternal Heaven God Emperor!

Three dark existences at the Divine Emperor level?!

How could such three individuals exist in this world? Where did these dark monsters come from?! And when did they arrive in the Eternal Heaven Realm?!

Even more terrifyingly, these three terrifying dark auras that made him tremble clearly appeared *within* the Eternal Heaven Realm! It was already too late to even activate the strongest sealing barrier now.

At this moment, the Eternal Heaven Bell chimed, echoing throughout the area. Venerable Taiyu's already grim expression changed once more. He sharply turned and shot directly towards the core of Eternal Heaven.

Before the Eternal Heaven Bell, he saw a dark figure slowly turn around.

"Yun... Che..." Venerable Taiyu murmured, his vision momentarily blurring.

Back then, at the northern border, on the day Zhou Qingchen died, he had used all his strength to drag Zhou Xuzi away. In the darkness, he had sensed Yun Che's aura, but hadn't clearly seen Yun Che's full appearance.

Seeing him again now felt like an eternity had passed.

The Yun Che in his memory had a pair of eyes as clear as water. When facing elders, his gaze was gentle and respectful. On the Conferred God Stage, his gaze was resolute enough to move anyone... He even clearly remembered that at the edge of the Primal Chaos, when he faced the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor alone, both his gaze and his figure radiated a divine light never before seen in any young person of any era in the Eastern Divine Region.

But the Yun Che before him had long hair that flowed without wind, with every strand emanating dense darkness. The smile at the corner of his lips was sinister and ferocious. And his eyes... were almost the most terrifying abyss he had ever seen in his life.

An aura at level ten of the Divine Sovereign Realm, yet it sent shivers down his spine.

"Broken... Moon... Flashing... Shadow!" Taiyu murmured. Yun Che's silent appearance here meant that "Broken Moon Flashing Shadow" was the only possibility.

To be a King Realm, yet be infiltrated at its core by a Divine Sovereign... a dark Divine Sovereign, without any detection — how ironic.

Venerable Taiyu raised his arm, and a pale ring appeared between his fingers. The overwhelming divine might of a level ten Divine Master instantly pressed down.

Facing Venerable Taiyu, the strongest guardian of the Eternal Heaven Realm, who was now so close, Yun Che, however, revealed an incredibly eerie faint smile. He raised his arm, and in his palm, there was a red profound ark only an inch long.

With a casual flick of his finger, the red profound ark flew into the air, rapidly transforming, and in the blink of an eye, became ten thousand zhang in size, obscuring the sky and sun.

Venerable Taiyu subconsciously looked up, and his pupils almost burst as if pierced by ten thousand rays of light.

The gate of the Primordial Profound Ark swung open, and Qianye Ying'er's figure swiftly descended. Her Divine Oracle was flung out, a golden ray piercing directly towards Venerable Taiyu.

Behind him, led by Fen Daoqi, all the Moon Eaters, Burning Moon Divine Envoys, and Burning Moon Guards streamed out, unfolding a desperate, shadowy curtain of darkness across the sky above the Eternal Heaven God Realm.

The entire power of the Burning Moon Realm descended upon the Eternal Heaven God Realm, without any reservation, completely and utterly.

The shock of this moment caused Venerable Taiyu and all the Eternal Heaven people to almost shatter their courage and scatter their souls.

Beneath the darkness came the Devil Master's low growl, more sinister and ruthless than a true demon's: "Kill... every person, every beast, every blade of grass, every tree here... all... die!"

Under the Devil Master's command, the Burning Moon devils made no shouts or cries. Darkness unleashed from their bodies, carrying the malevolence and ferocity accumulated over countless generations, they charged towards the Eternal Heaven beings trembling in the shadows.

Boom—

In just an instant, this supreme holy land of the Eastern Divine Region was enveloped in rolling dust and smoke, and blood mist filled the sky.

The inheritors of the Eternal Heaven God Realm's immortal power bore the title of "Guardians," because when they inherited the Eternal Heaven divine power, they also inherited the will to "guard."

To guard Eternal Heaven, to guard the Eastern Divine Region, and to guard the righteous path of the current era!

And this will to "guard" was not only carried by the Guardians themselves, but belonged to the will of all Eternal Heaven disciples.

After a brief moment of shock and panic, as blood burst into their sight, defiling the sacred land of the Eternal Heaven Realm, and familiar figures shattered into pieces before their eyes, the eyes of the Eternal Heaven people began to turn blood red. The will to guard and their innate ferocity erupted simultaneously.

Both Eternal Heaven and Burning Moon were like frenzied beasts, savagely tearing at each other with their sharpest fangs.

This was the Eternal Heaven God Realm. In terms of profound practitioners, they outnumbered Burning Moon by a hundredfold.

However, Zhou Xuzi had just departed with six guardians and half of the elders. Yet, here in Burning Moon, were all the Moon Eaters and Burning Moon Divine Envoys.

And also Qianye Ying'er and the terrifyingly powerful Three Yama Ancestors.

As well as... the Devil Master Yun Che!

An extremely brutal and tragic battle instantly unfolded on the land of the Eternal Heaven God Realm, a land no one had ever dared to defile. In an instant, the blood mist pervading the Eternal Heaven sky became as dense as blood clouds pressing down on a city, threatening to crush it.

Qianye Ying'er and Venerable Taiyu fought together. The two level ten Divine Masters, with every clash of their power, dealt a heavy blow to the Eternal Heaven God Realm.

Yun Che floated into the air, indifferently watching the rapidly spreading sea of blood below. He spread his arms and murmured from his lips:

"Calamity... Devil... Bane... Heaven!"

Darkness descended. The light abruptly dimmed. Within the Eternal Heaven Realm, a colossal and unparalleled dark storm suddenly surged.

Below, in the demonic eyes of the Moon Eaters and Burning Moon Divine Envoys, strange black light flashed simultaneously.

The dark storm swirled through space, carrying dense, almost rampant, dark elemental energy. It surged madly into the Moon Eaters and Burning Moon Divine Envoys, causing their auras to rapidly surge.

Within Eternal Heaven, only the Guardians could resist the power of the Moon Eaters. But after only a brief stalemate, as the light dimmed, the demonic aura on the Moon Eaters surged completely, and the Guardians were instantly suppressed, retreating step by step.

And the Eternal Heaven elders facing the Burning Moon Divine Envoys also rapidly collapsed.

"Hehehehehe!"

A sinister, ghost-like cackle echoed, piercing through the layers of battle clamor directly into everyone's ears.

A hunched old man tore through space. His skeletal, ghost-like claw fiercely clamped onto the head of a guardian who had just been repelled by Fen Daoqi. As black energy erupted, the guardian's skull, imbued with Divine Master power, emitted a deafening, mountain-crumbling crack, and then, along with his guardian body, exploded, sending fragmented bones and mangled remains flying dozens of miles away.

He was not the first Guardian of this generation to fall, but he was definitely the one who died the most tragically in the Eternal Heaven God Realm's history.

"Taihuan!!" Venerable Taiyu roared, his voice laced with blood.

"Heheh!"

Following Yama Ancestor One, Yama Ancestor Two arrived right after. With a monstrous roar, a ten-thousand-zhang skeletal shadow descended from the sky. Where it covered, black light filled the air. The land of Eternal Heaven transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang dark purgatory. Hundreds of thousands of Eternal Heaven disciples were instantly annihilated, with only two Eternal Heaven elders managing to escape, injured.

But they had barely escaped the dark purgatory for less than half a breath when two black claws pierced through their backs, then mercilessly tore their Divine Master bodies to shreds, accompanied by Yama Ancestor Two's obscure, bloodthirsty, and endlessly excited shrieks.

Two Eternal Heaven elders at Divine Master Realm level two were utterly powerless against Yama Ancestor Two.

Having survived in the Eternal Darkness Bone Sea for a million years, the power of the Three Yama Ancestors was truly terrifying. As they joined the battlefield, the Eternal Heaven Realm, which had briefly been able to resist, instantly witnessed what true despair was.

Venerable Taiyu, fiercely battling Qianye Ying'er, dared not be distracted. But with every breath, an overwhelmingly dense stench of blood filled his chest, and the screams in his ears were like ten thousand blades piercing his heart.

He also could not understand how Qianye Ying'er, who had clearly had her Brahma God inheritance retrieved and whose profound strength had been personally abolished by Qianye Fantian, could be so powerful again.

At this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of Yun Che high above.

A dark storm swirled, centered around his body. All the devils were frenzied within the darkness he unleashed.

Bang!!

The white ring in his hand collided with the Divine Oracle. Dozens of cracks tore open in space. Venerable Taiyu swiftly retreated, then abruptly shot skyward, heading straight for Yun Che.

But just as he charged out, a dark demonic claw descended upon him. Behind the demonic claw was Yama Ancestor Three's sinister, contemptuous laughter: "Little bastard, get back... Hehehehe!"

Taiyu's expression was greatly alarmed. His body rapidly spun in mid-air, but the demonic claw still lightly grazed his waist and ribs.

Boom—

As if a dark purgatory exploded on his body, Taiyu violently spat out a large mouthful of black-tinged blood and was sent flying backward through the air.

But in the next instant, he steadied himself. Just as he was about to charge at Yun Che again, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he froze on the spot.

This place was clearly the Eternal Heaven God Realm, the supreme King Realm of the Eastern Region, bearing the history of Eternal Heaven and the supreme holy land that carried all their glory.

But what entered his sight was only a blood-soaked wasteland.

One by one, the symbols of Eternal Heaven were collapsing...

His clansmen and his disciples were fighting for their lives, crying out, screaming... being cruelly torn apart, slaughtered, and then dissolving into seas of blood and mountains of bones...

Only three guardians, who shared his lineage and were like brothers to him, remained. Their bodies were covered in blood. Surrounded by the berserk Moon Eaters, one had their limbs gnawed off, another had three black blood holes torn into their body...

Pfft...

Another guardian, Venerable Taiyao, who had been sharing drinks with him just ten days ago, gravely wounded, was instantly ripped into three segments by Yama Ancestor One's terrifying ghost claw...

"Father... Father!! Waaahhh..."

He heard the wails of his master's descendants. With just a slight shift of his gaze, he saw the descendants of the Eternal Heaven God Emperor and his own descendants, like fragile withered grass, fleeing in panic, pierced and shattered one after another by dark devil blades...

No intact bodies remained.

"Uh... ah... ah... ah..." His pupils lost their color as they constricted. His face was deathly pale, like a bloodless corpse. Every hair on his body, every pore, trembled. His entire body remained motionless for a long time, with only a trembling whimper, like a dying ghost, escaping his throat.

A nightmare...

This must... just be a nightmare...

Yun Che slowly lowered his arms. The darkness vanished. "Calamity Devil Bane Heaven" dissipated... because it was simply no longer needed.

Without a glance at Venerable Taiyu, his figure flickered, and he appeared at the Eternal Heaven Conferred God Stage.

A place where he had once become a Conferred God in a single battle, a place he had once yearned for and held in such glory.

Above the Conferred God Stage, the Law of Nothingness operated, and dark power was released. A dormant profound array slowly lit up, rapidly unfolding in the air.

At the same time, the Starlight Monuments scattered across countless corners of the Eastern Divine Region also shone with faint light.

This was the projection grand array set up by the Eternal Heaven God Realm during the Profound God Convention back then.

"Heh," Yun Che chuckled softly. His arm, gleaming with black light, pushed the projection grand array as it slowly ascended. From his lips came a slow murmur:

"Old dog of Eternal Heaven, such a spectacular show, it would be too great a pity if you didn't watch it with your own eyes."
