CHAPTER 1081: CHAPTER 1079: I’M BACK (2ND UPDATE)

"En!" Su Chen nodded, "I come from the Divine Martial Continent, which is currently facing a catastrophic disaster."

"Then... then I can help you, I can bring everyone from the Cloud Sword Sect to assist you." Ji Yu quickly replied.

"Not needed for now." Su Chen smiled, "When the time comes, I will naturally ask for your help. When I return to the Divine Martial Continent, I will arrange a teleportation formation. At that time, when I need assistance from the Cloud Sword Sect and you, you will be able to find the Divine Martial Continent’s location in the Void."

"Alright." Ji Yu nodded and then felt somewhat reluctant, "When are you leaving?"

"Today."

"This..." Ji Yu felt even more unwilling, "Then... I..."

Then, Ji Yu bowed his head.

"Yu’er, we have a long future ahead. Cultivate well." Su Chen patted Ji Yu’s shoulder, not saying much, but the address had changed to Yu’er.

Ji Yu was first taken aback, and then his face turned shy red, feeling sweetness in his heart, wanting to say something but Su Chen had already disappeared.

In the Void.

Su Chen and Old Mu walked shoulder to shoulder.

"Young boy Su, you really are swift! Suddenly you just left!" Old Mu spoke.

"Why? Old Mu can’t leave the Cloud Sword Sect?"

"I can let go. The Thousand Demon Sect is allied with the Cloud Sword Sect. No force in the Ningtian Continent can contend with the Cloud Sword Sect." Old Mu said indifferently.

"That’s right, besides, if there are no accidents, we’ll meet again very soon." Su Chen’s face became serious. Once the Divine Martial Continent and the Extraterritorial Celestial Race are at war, most likely, the Cloud Sword Sect and the Thousand Demon Sect will be needed, so naturally, we can meet again soon.

"Are the Extraterritorial Celestial Race so powerful? I’m somewhat looking forward to it."

"Soon, you will see it." Su Chen increased his speed, searching for the Divine Martial Continent in the Void.

An hour later.

Silently, Su Chen and Old Mu emerged from the air of the Divine Martial Continent.

"The Spiritual Energy in the air of the Divine Martial Continent is very dense, more so than the Spiritual Energy of Ningtian Continent, only, the martial cultivators of the Divine Martial Continent seem far inferior in strength to the Ningtian Continent." Old Mu first felt it, then said.

"The Spiritual Energy concentration in the air of the Divine Martial Continent has only recently surged, and the martial cultivators there haven’t had sufficient time to accumulate strength." Su Chen explained briefly, in his heart, he added, if he’s not mistaken, this sudden increase in Spiritual Energy concentration is due to the Purple Spirit Sun Rising, orchestrated by the Primordial Continent’s Di Family.

The Di Family possesses a Mother River, hence they have full capability to create the Purple Spirit Sun Rising.

And the Di Family has plenty of reasons to do so.

The Di Family’s aim is for the Divine Martial Continent and the Extraterritorial Celestial Race to fight to the death, enabling them to obtain Moon Spirit Stones from the corpses.

Essentially, the Di Family hopes more Celestial Race members perish, so they naturally need to assist the martial cultivators and demon beasts of the Divine Martial Continent in strengthening.

"Old Mu, let’s head to the headquarters first." Then, Su Chen spoke.

An hour later.

They arrived.

Now, the Four Great Ancient Nations and the Buddha Domain have been completely opened.

And the Buddha Domain and the Fierce Domain are also entirely opened.

The entire Divine Martial Continent is united.

The headquarters is at the Heavenly Gate Gorge.

Now, within the Heavenly Gate Gorge, all powerhouses from across the Divine Martial Continent are already gathered!!!

And all these strong individuals belong to one power, the Heaven’s Alliance.

Naturally, the leader of this Heaven’s Alliance is Su Chen.

While Su Chen has been absent, the Heaven’s Alliance has developed extraordinarily rapidly.

Numerous powerhouses have emerged.

Like the supreme experts from the original Six Great First-Rank Powers of the Buddha Domain, and those great demons from the Fierce Domain, especially the Beast Emperor Di Qing, who is a supreme expert, and even Di Qiong, who has surpassed his imperial father completely.

In contrast, those martial cultivators from within the Four Great Ancient Nations, such as the Xuanfeng Imperial Family, the Qin Family, the Liu Family, are considerably weaker. After arriving at the Heavenly Gate Gorge, they have been intensely motivated, constantly training furiously, including the disciples of the Burning Heaven Sect.

And those connected to Su Chen, like Huo Shouying, Sheng Yingkun, Qing Jian, Mo Qingwu, Yoo Junluo, possess high status, just as Emperor Qing, Emperor Qiong, dare not act recklessly. Although with high position, these individuals closely related to Su Chen are even more diligent in their cultivation.

"Old Mu, let’s go down." Su Chen casually sensed the Heaven’s Alliance, feeling quite satisfied, and couldn’t help speaking.

"I will not appear; I’ll remain concealed by your side." Old Mu said.

"Alright, Old Mu’s concealment might bring unexpected surprises at crucial moments." Su Chen laughed.

The next moment.

Su Chen, like a specter, suddenly appeared in the main hall of the Heaven’s Alliance.

In the main hall, the original powerhouses of the Heaven’s Alliance, such as Emperor Qiong, Emperor Qing, Huo Shouying, Yoo Junluo, Nangong Wu, Nalan Qingcheng, Luo Zisheng, Ji Yueqing, Xuu Chi, Wei Ding, Hao Hao, Sheng Yingkun, Yuu Tianyi, and others were all present.

When Su Chen appeared, the entire hall was silent.

Then.

Excitement followed.

Su Chen’s sudden disappearance was worrying. After all, Su Chen was the backbone of the Heaven’s Alliance. If he truly vanished or was dead, then the Divine Martial Continent would be finished.

During these days without Su Chen, although everyone did not display anything special, deep down they were undoubtedly worried.

"Young boy Su, where have you been these days?" Huo Shouying spoke.

"Can’t explain in just a few words." Su Chen smiled bitterly and didn’t elaborate further.

"It’s good that you’re back." Huo Shouying nodded.

"Senior brother, fortunately, you returned." Qing Jian stepped forward with some intimacy, holding Su Chen’s arm.

"What’s the matter?" Su Chen lovingly petted Qing Jian’s head. He doted on his junior sister immensely.

"Young boy Su, during your absence, the entire Divine Martial Continent had appearances of ancient relic species in various places." Sheng Yingkun spoke, "According to incomplete statistics, during your absence, more than a thousand ancient relic species emerged."

Su Chen’s brows furrowed. Ancient relic species were extremely formidable, hardly lower than the Eternal Dominion Realm.

Without him, Su Chen, even with the so-called Heaven’s Alliance, perhaps just ten or eight of these ancient relic species could crush them.

However, strangely, after he returned, he didn’t sense any ancient relic species’ aura on the Divine Martial Continent.

Seeming to understand Su Chen’s confusion, Sheng Yingkun continued, "After the emergence of these thousand ancient relic species, they didn’t rampage across the Divine Martial Continent but were taken away by Extraterritorial War Chariots!"

"Extraterritorial War Chariots?" Su Chen heard this term for the first time.

"Brother Su, Extraterritorial War Chariots are gigantic carriages created by the Extraterrestrial Celestial Race, capable of floating and traversing the Void. Extraterritorial War Chariots are enormous, spanning tens of thousands of square meters, and can carry dozens of ancient relic species and thousands of ordinary Extraterrestrial Celestial Race members at once." Nalan Qingcheng spoke.

"Looks like the Extraterrestrial Celestial Race is quite smart!" Su Chen remarked.

These ancient relic species, each one had astonishing combat power, comparable to the royal family of the Extraterrestrial Celestial Race!

But, their fatal flaw was their chaotic minds, almost like madmen.

If the ancient relic species were to emerge and the Extraterrestrial Celestial Race ignored them, perhaps these mad ancient relic species could bring powerful destruction to the Divine Martial Continent.

But eventually, they would definitely be annihilated by the Heaven’s Alliance one by one.

If these ancient relic species were all brought under control by the Extraterrestrial Celestial Race and their sanity was restored, it would be terrifying.

It could be said that with over a thousand ancient relic species under the control of the Extraterrestrial Celestial Race, their overall strength rose more than just a notch.

"How is the desensitizing operation within the borders of the Four Great Ancient Nations?" Su Chen asked.

The desensitizing operation targeted the vanguard army and cannon fodder sent by the Extraterrestrial Celestial Race, attempting to assimilate human martial cultivators in advance and seeking out some internal allies among the blood soldiers.

The Extraterrestrial Celestial Race is divided according to bloodline richness: Imperial Family, Heavenly Sovereignty, Life-Seizing Kind, Harassers, Blood Soldiers, Night Spirits.

Blood Soldiers and Night Spirits are the vanguard army and cannon fodder, possessing the lowest Seed Emperor bloodline.

"The desensitizing operation is nearly complete—not one hundred percent, but at least ninety percent." The emperor of the Nan’e Ancient Country, also Nangong Wu’s imperial father, spoke.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief; the desensitizing operation was indeed crucial.

"How many people are in the Heaven’s Alliance now?" Su Chen continued asking.

"Master, there are nearly one hundred thousand people. Among them, ninety thousand are at the Ancestral Saint Realm, nine thousand in Heaven Earth Sovereign Realm, and several dozen in the Origin Sovereign Realm." Di Qiong stepped forward, answering, "As for the Eternal Dominion Realm, none currently."

It’s still quite weak, even inferior to any of the Ten Great Powers on the Ningtian Continent, not even comparable to the Cloud Sword Sect.

But this was already beyond Su Chen’s expectations; the Divine Martial Continent was inherently weak.

In fact, achieving this strength was largely due to the Fierce Domain.

The Fierce Domain brought thirty thousand Demon Beasts, of which ten thousand were at the Ancestral Saint Realm level, and four thousand at the Heaven Earth Sovereign Realm. Even the presence of the Origin Sovereign Realm included one or two dozen.

In terms of top-level powerhouses, the Fierce Domain outmatched the Buddha Domain and the Four Great Ancient Nations significantly, not to mention the half-step Eternal Dominion Realm figures like Di Qiong and Di Qing.

Su Chen scanned all the human martial cultivators and demon beasts in the hall.

The strongest were naturally Di Qiong and Di Qing.

Then followed Wei Ding, Ji Yueqing, Nalan Qingcheng, and Luo Zisheng, whose progress was like lightning speed, all reaching the Fifth Level of the Origin Sovereign Realm.

As for the martial cultivators brought from the Four Great Ancient Nations, Qing Jian was the strongest—a truly unparalleled talent of the Eternal Ages, with an incredibly fast progress in strength, now already in the Origin Sovereign Realm. Although only at the First Level of the Origin Sovereign Realm, it was rare within the Four Great Ancient Nations.

Yoo Junluo and Mo Qingwu were doing well; both women had entered the Heaven Earth Sovereign Realm, each at the Third Level.

"Alliance Hierarch, we need to be cautious." At this moment, Di Qing, who had been silent, spoke. His voice was grave.

Su Chen looked towards Di Qing.

"Perhaps, the first invasion from the Extraterrestrial Celestial Race is imminent." Di Qing spoke solemnly.
