Chapter 2904: Deterrence
The sky above the entrance area of the Dark Court trembled all of a sudden. At the same time, rays of crimson Divine Lights beamed across the firmament.
The cultivators of Dark Court immediately looked up into the sky with their hearts pounding like mad. What had just happened?
Everyone inside the court felt a suffocating God’s Might pressurizing them.
Boom! The sky was split open after a loud bang was heard.
Countless silhouettes of Tianshen showed up in the sky the next moment. Each of them emanated formidable Emperor’s Might from their physical bodies.
The governing entity of the Dark World, Dark Court, was quivering. Colors drained from the faces of the cultivators in the court after seeing the lineup in the sky.
Was that the Tianshen Army?
Staring at the peak of Dark Court, they saw a destructive Dark Divine Light radiating before a silhouette in a mask appeared, giving off a mysterious vibe. Yet, the aura unleashed by that individual was hair-raising.
“Is the Human Ancestor not coming?” she asked indifferently in an aloof tone.
Who would’ve thought that the commander of the Tianshen Army was just the direct disciple of the Human Ancestor, Di Hao? Despite that, he was just a successor to Human Realm in name only. What could he expect to inherit from an ambitious man like the Human Ancestor?
No matter what, Di Hao would always be beneath the Human Ancestor.
“I’m here,” the Human Ancestor’s voice could be heard saying that. The countenance of the Human Ancestor was seen in the sky, but it was not his main body.
“The Dark Sovereign, you’ve brought darkness to the world ever since you ruled the Dark World. By right, I should’ve wiped out the darkness with the Sword of Justice. But I’m willing to grant you a second chance, provided that you lead the army of the Dark World to strike the alliance of the Heavenly Realm and Divine Prefecture,” the Human Ancestor said with a condescending tone, as if he was the monarch of the world, giving the Dark Sovereign a chance to redeem herself.
The Dark Sovereign loathed the owner of the face she was starting at. For the longest time, she had detested people who were holier than thou. She was disgusted by hypocrites more than she was by petty people.
The Human Ancestor was the quintessence of a hypocrite.
He reminded her of a detestable person. It seemed that there were many similarities between the two of them.
The Human Ancestor deemed himself the righteousness of humanity. But was he a righteous person?
“What if I say no?” the Dark Sovereign replied.
“This world has been filled with darkness. If one were too obstinate to repent from their evil ways, there would be no reason for this realm to exist. The human Realm shall lead its army to invade this sinful world and cleanse it from every ounce of darkness. I’m afraid the future will not look bright for the cultivators of Dark Court, including the Dark Sovereign herself,” the Human Ancestor declared with the means to threaten them.
If the Dark Sovereign were to refuse, he would lead his army to massacre all of them.
“I know what you’re worried about. But suppose you’re willing to turn over a new leaf, uphold the integrity of humanity, and deploy your troops to the Divine Prefecture and Heavenly Realm. In that case, I will overlook the past and grant you a place in this world,” Human Ancestor went on. Naturally, he was referring to when he attempted to finish off the Dark Sovereign.
Right after he spoke, the atmosphere was instantly filled with the Might of all the Tianshen that spanned across the entire Dark Court. It was almost like they would immediately eliminate the forces of Dark Court if the Dark Sovereign were to reject the offer. Should things turn out that way, could the cultivators of the Dark Court fend off the enemies?
The look of the Dark Sovereign’s eyes behind her mask was gloomy. She knew the Human Ancestor was pulling her leg. If she were to decline, he would probably order his armies to obliterate the Dark Court and send another troop to invade the Dark World.
If the Human Ancestor were to colonize the Dark World, would it be the world she wanted?
The answer was obviously no. The Human Ancestor was a man of hypocrisy who boasted about being the righteousness of humanity. The Human Realm was a realm full of pretense and deception, so it was not a world she wanted to see.
“Okay, I agree,” the Dark Sovereign answered. The cultivators of the Dark Court let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
They were afraid that the Dark Sovereign might reject the offer. If she did, they would be the first ones to be eliminated.
If the Gods were to launch a full-scale invasion, it would spell doom for the Dark Court. None of them would escape certain death even if they reached the Great Emperor Plane.
There were ancient Great Emperors among the lineup of the Tianshen Army. How could they even hope to survive that?
“Good. I’ll update you when it’s time,” the Human Ancestor uttered. With that, an overwhelming aura flooded the atmosphere before the Tianshen Army disappeared from the Dark Court.
…
When the Tianshen Army showed up in the Dark World, the same thing happened in the Empty Divine Realm and Devil World as well.
The demon cloud above the sky of Devil Imperial Palace was blasting uncontrollably. The power of Devil Abyss dropped like a weight on everyone’s head.
When the Tianshen Army arrived there, they raised their heads to look at the Devil Abyss, a primeval prison that remained intact until now, even after the Collapse of the Heavenly Path.
The face of the Human Ancestor was formed in the sky while unleashing his Might toward the Devil Imperial Palace.
All the Devil Overlords who resided inside the Devil Imperial Palace glared in the same direction with a sharp and domineering look. The appearance of the Tianshen Army did not scare them even a bit.
“Devil Emperor!” the Human Ancestor piped with a deafening voice.
“State your business!” said an icy and disdainful voice from the inside of Demon God Palace. Even though the Tianshen Army was before him, the Devil Emperor’s tone remained peerlessly condescending.
“I wish to ally with you,” the Human Ancestor said.
“I’m not interested!” the Devil Emperor replied without showing his face at all.
At that, the Human Ancestor furrowed his brows in displeasure. It was apparent that things played out differently here than in other locations. Nonetheless, it was how the Devil Emperor would typically behave. So, he brushed it off.
“After I’ve conquered the Divine Prefecture and the Heavenly Realm, the cultivators of Devil World can leave this prison. By then, the order of the world will be altered radically. And I will surely not mistreat you,” the Human Ancestor added.
“We will take care of our own matters!” The silhouette of the Evil Emperor could be seen standing in Demon God Palace. “Who are you working for?”
“I am who I am! I do not work for anyone!” Scowling at Devil Emperor, the Human Ancestor remarked, “I’m afraid things won’t go your way this time!”
After he was done talking, the Might of Tianshen filled the entire Devil Imperial Palace.
Shooting a glance at the army of Great Emperors, the Devil Emperor commented, “I’ve never thought that I’d see the Gods of ancient times in flesh! If you want to start a war, I can give you that! You’ve seen with your eyes the power of the Heavenly Path! And now, you shall taste the might of Devil Abyss!”
It went without saying that the Devil Emperor of the Devil World was a fearless man.
