Amidst the painting of shadows, the flames of war raged on, leaving the Fengye Chaos Cosmos's great sacred grounds in shambles.

Immortal Tang Divine Palace, Mi Yin Divine Palace, Henglong Divine Palace, Ying Cang Divine Palace.

And the Nine Phoenix Race, Golden Crow Race, Ke Gu Race, Celestial Net Race, Brahma Heaven Race, Fengyan Race.

Along with Upper Blood Divine Palace, Immortal Divine Palace, Taiyang Divine Palace.

The Seven Great Divine Palaces, the six great clans, the thirteen strongest sacred grounds of Fengye...

All have now fallen prey to treachery.

Thirteen individuals with the status of a Great Emperor watched all of this, their faces dark and eyes ferocious, murderous intent surging fiercely.

Outer Nine Heavens.

"Good! Very good! This is exactly the expression I wanted from them!" Emperor Feng Zhen's eyes flickered, "Back then, the ones who competed with me for the Great Emperor's Treasure of the Mysterious Land severely wounded me. I vowed to repay them a hundredfold in the future! Sure enough, the day has finally come! Immortal Tang, Nine Phoenix, Golden Crow... prepare to face my wrath!"

One million six hundred thousand years ago.

The long-standing peace was finally broken.

Kedan Chaos Cosmos, Earth Chaos Cosmos, the Great Emperors of these two chaotic cosmoses unanimously reached an agreement that they would unite against the Fengye Chaos Cosmos!

From that day on, the turmoil in Fengye never ceased.

First, there was the inexplicable attack on the sacred grounds by the "Kyushu Alliance". Several Eternal Ancestors used powerful arrays to gain astonishing power, standing against the people of the Great Emperor Realm.

This group indeed had courage, but unfortunately overestimated themselves too much.

Just two Great Emperors took action and completely annihilated the Kyushu Alliance, eradicating it from its roots.

Yet, it wasn't long before the "faith turmoil" arose.

Many dynastic nations that originally relied on the sacred grounds suddenly severed ties, began merging with each other, and continuously growing stronger to form massive forces.

The thirteen great sacred grounds were isolated at once.

But unlike the Kyushu Alliance, these dynastic nations did not foolishly invade the sacred grounds, but instead spread another kind of faith, brewing chaos.

People who heeded this faith stopped believing in the Great Emperors, ceased all interactions with the sacred grounds, and lost all desire for cultivation.

It was as if an incredibly stable and harmonious world had formed.

Ultimately, the furious Golden Crow Emperor acted, destroying each of these organizations, eradicating their roots, and completely quelling this disturbance.

Kyushu turmoil, faith turmoil.

They were merely preludes.

It wasn't until the real "turmoil" arrived that the thirteen Great Emperors of Fengye were truly dumbfounded.

In a single night, thirteen extreme, terrifying beams of light suddenly descended from outside Fengye's chaotic domain.

These beams appeared ordinary, like mere laser rays, lacking any imposing, domineering force. Yet, it was precisely these beams that reduced the thirteen sacred grounds to their current sorry state!

The land was scorched, even the Grand Protective Array that was difficult for those of the Great Emperor Realm to breach was damaged and incomplete, and the surrounding millions of miles turned into a wasteland.

The disciples of the Divine Palaces and the younger generations of the clans originally residing here for cultivation had their life essences completely wiped out the moment the beams descended.

Even though the Golden Crow Emperor fought desperately to block them, he couldn't prevent the destruction from descending.

"Palace Master!"

"What is going on! Palace Master!"

"Palace Master! Yao Jiu, Xun Kong, Chu Liu... and all the disciples, they're all dead!"

The ancestors of Immortal Tang Divine Palace were terrified, completely unaware of what had occurred or how all this came to pass; they only knew that in one night, half of Immortal Tang Divine Palace was destroyed!

In the destroyed regions, there were Ancestor Realm individuals who were guiding disciples, Saint Venerable Realm cultivators in the midst of cultivation, and numerous Divine Palace disciples...

And now, their life essences can no longer be sensed... all are completely dead!

"Kedan... Earth..."

Emperor Immortal Tang gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, his chest filled with rage!

He had never been this furious.

Immortal Tang Divine Palace was his life's work; it was only through countless years and immeasurable effort that he achieved this success, yet in a single night, it was all ruined!

"Immortal Tang!"

The void trembled, and the people of the Ancestor Realm were automatically separated.

Twelve Great Emperors, with dark expressions, and eyes ablaze with anger, approached aggressively.

It wasn't just the Immortal Tang Divine Palace; the other twelve sacred grounds were in the same state as the Immortal Tang Divine Palace before them.

This thoroughly enraged the thirteen Great Emperors of Fengye!

Even the normally unperturbed Emperor Jiu Feng, whose expression wouldn't change even amid great calamity, had a face so sullen it could drip water, and the killing intent in his gaze, if seen by an Eternal Ancestor, would cause their knees to buckle in fear on the spot!

Thunderous wrath.

"Mi Yin, do you know who did this?" Emperor Immortal Tang asked sharply.

Emperor Mi Yin opened his eyes, his expression equally grim: "It was the Kedan people..."

"Indeed, it's them!"

"Damn Kedan, this time I must flatten their chaotic cosmos to the ground!"

Numerous Great Emperors were incensed beyond measure.

"Mi Yin, continue." Emperor Immortal Tang gestured.

"It turns out we were always wrong in our assumptions. What they possess isn't the Truth of Destruction, but the Three Thousand Doomsdays!" Emperor Mi Yin stated.

Three Thousand Doomsdays!

As these words were spoken, the faces of many emperors grew extremely grim.

The Three Thousand Doomsdays is the signature weapon of the Mechanical Race. With it, the Mechanical Race nearly razed a Holy Land to the ground.

Because of this, no one dares to question the Mechanical Race's status among the holy lands in the Chaos.

"The Three Thousand Doomsdays? How could it be in their hands!" Emperor Brahma Heaven frowned.

His task at the time was to deal with the Truth of Destruction. After shattering it, he threw it into a space-time channel, yet the Three Thousand Doomsdays was lost during that great war, its whereabouts unknown.

Unexpectedly, today he hears of the Three Thousand Doomsdays again, and it has fallen into the hands of the Kedan people!

"No wonder those folks from the Earth Chaos chose to cooperate with Kedan; they had their eyes on the Three Thousand Doomsdays they held!" Emperor Fengyan said harshly.

"Mi Yin, are you sure it's the Three Thousand Doomsdays?"

At this time, Emperor Immortal Tang asked.

"There can be no mistake," Emperor Mi Yin replied. "Why? Do you think there's another possibility?"

"No, I've witnessed the power of the Three Thousand Doomsdays. If it were used at full strength, it would not merely destroy half of my Immortal Tang Divine Palace so simply," said Emperor Immortal Tang.

He was a witness back then.

Regarding the war to annihilate the Mechanical Race, he was one of the participants, clearly understanding the power of the Three Thousand Doomsdays.

Once unleashed, the Three Thousand Doomsdays could not hold back because it was a stored-up strike capable of obliterating an emperor in a single blow!

Yet now, it only managed to destroy half, which is too bizarre.

"Is there such a thing? Wait, let me try to deduce it again."

Emperor Mi Yin closed his eyes immediately.

The emperors quietly waited.

After a moment, Emperor Mi Yin opened his eyes again.

"How is it?"

"Do you have the results?"

The anxious emperors asked impatiently.

"Immortal Tang was right," Emperor Mi Yin said solemnly. "That is indeed the Three Thousand Doomsdays, but it seems a piece is missing, so they can only unleash the power of Two Thousand Doomsdays."

The emperors breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If it were truly the Three Thousand Doomsdays, they might face a disastrous defeat in this Chaos war!

The Three Thousand Doomsdays is the blood, sweat, and tears of the Mechanical Race, overturning the cultivators' understanding by combining metal and array power to create a terrifying weapon that can kill an emperor.

"Even with Two Thousand Doomsdays, we are hard-pressed to withstand it," said Emperor Taiyang, who had remained silent the entire time. "If they gather energy once more, next time they can completely destroy our Holy Land. By then, our Fengye Core of Chaos will have nowhere to hide!"

The Core of Chaos is hidden within one of the thirteen Holy Lands.

If all thirteen Holy Lands are destroyed, the location of the Core of Chaos will be immediately apparent.

"We still haven't found Kedan's Core of Chaos yet; once war breaks out, we are bound to lose," Emperor Taiyang's words plunged everyone into silence.

They have now fallen entirely into a disadvantage.

The location of Kedan's Core of Chaos is known to their opponents, yet they do not know their counterpart's; this in itself is overwhelmingly passive.

Kedan has allied with Earth Chaos, the emperors of two chaotic cosmoses combined, already completely overpowering the emperors of Fengye.

Either one of these dimensions alone is enough to be fatal to Fengye!

"Ying Cang, how are they doing?"

After a long silence, Emperor Immortal Tang suddenly asked.

Emperor Ying Cang shook his head, "The situation is not optimistic. The people of Kedan are using life-defeat tactics to torment them; they can last only hundreds of thousands of years at most."

"Damn it!"

"Those Kedan bastards... scum!"

"I want to kill them myself!"

The emotions of the emperors suddenly became agitated.

They did not know how that Emperor Shu Zi managed it, to trace the tracks of all peak geniuses and capture them one by one.

Except for Wang Xu of the Immortal Tang Divine Palace, whose whereabouts are unknown; they, too, were powerless, allowing him to escape a disaster.

"Wang Xu is still on the run, so hopefully, he can protect himself," Emperor Immortal Tang said, "Gentlemen, prepare to face the war following, for soon Fengye will become a sea of war flames; we have only one path left."

"Indeed, fight!"

"As long as those Kedan guys dare to come, I want them to pay!"

"The Kedan bastards, I must kill them!"

The battle intent of the emperors burned fervently.

...

Outer Nine Heavens.

"Shu Zi, what's up? Still haven't found it?"

Emperor Nilu asked.

Emperor Shu Zi shook his head, "The other day, after a vague sense, it was immediately cut off; I suspect he entered another area of the Forgotten Ancient Ruins."

Previously, when Wang Xu entered a Forgotten Ancient Ruin, Emperor Shu Zi's sense was severed, unable to trace a single thread of Wang Xu.

The Three Thousand Doomsdays lacks just one piece, which is the Mechanical Ancient Eye on Wang Xu's forehead!

As long as they gather this piece, they would then be able to truly assemble the Three Thousand Doomsdays and decisively determine the war situation! (to be continued.
