Chapter 2905: War Is Coming
The Human Ancestor went silent for a while after hearing that. The power of the Devil Abyss, he said?
Did he master the Will of Devil Emperor already? Could he command the power of the Devil Abyss?
The Devil Abyss was the tribulation during the creation of the world. It was brimming with unimaginable world-destroying power. Back then, the Demonic Lord used the Devil Abyss to cause great destruction. Although the Heavenly Path suppressed him, the Devil Abyss had torn up the latter as well, causing irreversible cracks to form. After the Battle of the Gods, the Collapse of the Heavenly Path happened, and it rained down the Great Tribulation of Apocalypse.
That calamity did not consist of only the Heavenly Path’s power.
Therefore, the Human Ancestor would have to be cautious of Devil Emperor if the latter could command the power of Devil Abyss.
The Tianshen Army raised their heads and sensed the might of the Devil Abyss. Suddenly, a powerful cultivator from ancient times declared, “According to legends, the Devil Abyss had existed with the Heavenly Path, and it can destroy the latter. But I’m not sure if this is true.”
Regardless of the truth, the Devil Abyss had existed until that day while the Heavenly Path had collapsed a long time ago.
“Anyone wants a taste of it?” the Devil Emperor taunted as he stood there gallantly, staring at the ancient cultivator. Even though the man was facing an army of Tianshen, he remained haughty as if he was above everyone else.
“Devil Emperor, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Are you willing to be stuck in the Devil Abyss and let the whole Devil World suffer with you forever?” the Human Ancestor incited, “This war will be the biggest one the world has yet to see since the collapse of the Heavenly Path. After that, I will reset the Heavenly Law and reform everything. If you did not participate in this war, all the work you had been doing all these years would be wasted. In the end, the Devil World will remain the same. Nothing will change.”
“Thanks for your concern, Human Ancestor,” the Devil Emperor replied.
Peering at the Devil Emperor, the Human Ancestor added, “When everything is over, I shall carry out the Heavenly Law. Does the Devil World wish to be an independent territory?”
An immense pressure permeated the place when the Human Ancestor spoke. The Devil Emperor glared at him, knowing that the former was hiding a greater power.
“The Devil World will decide for itself whether it will participate in the war or not. We will be the ones to plan for the when and the how as well. We will not be coerced into fighting your war,” the Devil Emperor declared in a cold tone. “The Devil World will never submit to anyone!”
Even if the Human Ancestor were to seize control of the Heavenly Law, the Devil World would never yield to anyone.
Back then, the people of the Devil World were imprisoned in the Devil Abyss, and they did not bow down to the Heavenly Path. Instead, the Demonic Lord had led a hundred million of his subjects and resisted the Heavenly Path until it became the Batte of Heavenly Laws.
So, he could not afford to end the legacy of his ancestors by being an embarrassment.
Previously, he had taken part in the Battle of the Six Great Emperors because the Human Ancestor had invited him. Each of them had their agendas and were only using one another. However, things were different this time.
The Human Ancestor did not extend an invitation but blackmailed him with Tianshen Army to join the war. If he participated in it, it would be the same as giving in to that man. It was like he had to do the Human Ancestor’s bidding. So, they were two different stories.
If that were to happen, the Devil World would never be the same anymore.
So, they would only use their way to fight this war.
“Good!” the Human Ancestor glared at the Devil Emperor and uttered. Although he wanted to lay siege to the Devil World immediately and annihilate the Devil Imperial Palace, he was still cautious about the Devil Abyss. If the Devil Emperor could command the power of the Devil Abyss and summon it, it would be disastrous.
At this point, he did not take any unnecessary risks.
Having decided what to do, he would first wipe out the forces of the Divine Prefecture and Heavenly Realm, including the baldies of the World of Buddhism, then he would only return to settle the score with the Devil World. By then, he could order the cultivators of the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm to raid this place.
Then he could finally conquer the whole world and make every being in this world his subject. The most fulfilling achievement would be ruling over the Heavenly Law.
With that, the Human Ancestor left the Devil Imperial Palace with his army and did not dare to launch an attack.
As they went away, the Devil Emperor stood upright while watching their silhouettes disappear slowly.
A great disaster was about to take place. This time, then Human Ancestor threatened the Seven Realms. Not only did he come here, but he had also gone to the Empty Divine Realm and the Dark World to start this war.
The scale of this war would be the largest since the Collapse of the Heavenly Path. It would be a fight to take over the Heavenly Path.
The Human Ancestor must have been fully prepared so that he would start a war so brazenly. This was something that had never happened before.
Who would be the last one standing in this global catastrophe?
The Devil World could not escape the Human Ancestor forever. So, what kind of tribulation would he be facing this time?
…
When Human Ancestor headed to the Devil World, Dark World, and Empty Divine Realm, the people in the Heavenly Realm received the news of it relatively fast.
Right then, Donghuang the Great and Ye Futian announced to the public about the fast-approaching war in Heavenly Realm and Divine Prefecture. They also urged weaker cultivators to look for a place to hide or seek shelter in the Gods’ Ruins Continent through a space passage.
In the World of Buddhism, Buddha Lord informed the citizens of Western Heaven about the imminent danger as well.
They did not encourage the common people to enlist in the war because it did not belong to low-level cultivators.
The entire Seven Realms was shaken by the sudden news. Just like everyone had predicted, the moment of peace earlier was the calm before the storm.
But the storm had arrived, and it would devastate every corner of the Seven Realms.
Ye Futian, Donghuang the Great, and the others were gathered in the ninety-nine heavens of the Heavenly Realm.
“The Dark World and Empty Divine Realm will be joining Human Realm in the war. However, the Devil Emperor had refused the Human Ancestor’s offer,” Donghuang the Great announced. Even in different realms, he had his way of gathering information.
Needless to say, it would not be a secret since the Human Ancestor carried out his operation in a flashy way. It was relatively easy to hear about this since many people had seen it.
“Didn’t the Human Ancestor launch attack in Devil World?” Ye Futian asked as he already knew about Tianshen Army’s revival. A significant number of Great Emperors had made their comeback since the Collapse of the Heavenly Path. And all of them were working under Human Ancestor to fight in his war.
“It has to be Devil Abyss,” Donghuang the Great answered, “Devil World has Devil Abyss, an ancient tribulation capable of destroying the whole world. If the Devil Emperor were to threaten the Human Ancestor with the Devil Abyss, even the latter would have to be prudent with his actions.”
At that, Ye Futian nodded. Was the Devil Abyss such a terrifying force? If that were the case, the tribulation that he had gone through back then must be the most common.
“The cultivators of the Human Realm, Dark World, and Empty Divine Realm have arrived at the borders of the Divine Prefecture, Heavenly Realm, and the World of Buddhism. Their troops are invading our realms continuously and preparing for the attack at any time now.” Donghuang the Great carried on, “Since the revival of the Gods, our forces are pale in comparison to theirs in terms of top-tier cultivators. Futian, what do you think of this situation?”
They would be at a disadvantage in the battle between Great Emperors. Even though they had already brought a lot of time for themselves through the difference of the speed of the time flow, it was still insufficient because the numbers of Great Emperors they had were far too little in comparison.
If one were to look at the numbers alone, they would be at an absolute disadvantage.
Although they had three members among their apex combatants, Ye Futian, Donghuang the Great, and the Buddha, the enemy also had three fighters—the Human Ancestor, Evil Emperor, and Dark Sovereign.
Furthermore, the opponent had a bunch of extraordinary Ancient Emperor-level beings among their lineup. Those individuals must have been extremely powerful as well.
On the face of it, they did not have an advantage regardless of the aspects. Once the war started, the outcome would be catastrophic. There would only be hope for them if the Devil World were to fight alongside them.
“There is still good news for us. At the very least, we know that the Human Ancestor still hasn’t fully recovered,” Ye Futian remarked. “Or else, he would not need to go through the roundabout way like starting a war. He could’ve just executed his enemy!”
