Chapter 1165 Fighting Blood Awakening
1165 Fighting Blood Awakening
The Heaven-Devouring Emperor sat on his golden throne. His body emanated a somber aura that kept the court quiet. His annoyance and anger were apparent even to the most clueless individuals. However, given how the war was going, who could blame him?
Things started badly from the start. The Myriad Emperor World Alliance went full force for a speed-run attack. They used overwhelming power to conquer the outer territories of the Central Region Alliance. The Heaven-Devouring Emperor reacted by sending his people to do the same, but their speed could not keep up with the enemy.
Then, out of nowhere, the Divine Seal Empress brought all 500 World Communities to surrender to the Myriad Emperor World. At that point in the war, the Heaven-Devouring Emperor had controlled over 1600 World Communities while the enemy surpassed them by 200, leaving 400 communities to fight over.
At that point, the Heaven-Devouring Emperor could no longer remain unmoved. He previously did not attack out of some fear or concern for Wang Wei, but now was not the time. Anyway, his role in this plan was to attract Wang Wei's attention in the first place, so he took the stage and attacked.
Sadly for him, things didn't go as planned since that bold monk, Feng Heng, somehow gained power on par with him and stopped him. He had an overwhelming advantage in the fight, but the monk was stubborn and used his terrifying battle experience to draw with him.
In the meantime, he had lost more territories. The Myriad Emperor World quickly controlled the remaining 400 world communities and began encroaching on the Heaven-Devouring Emperor's territory, which was unacceptable to him - especially since these people could easily remove his predecessor's Faint Parasite.
Finally, the Heaven-Devouring Emperor had no choice but to take measures to protect his territory, using the same tactic as his opponent-sharing his strength. Although he did not want to, he knew this was the only way, so he shared his power with his followers so they could fight the enemy.
However, this tactic was not a complete solution. The people from the Myriad Emperor World Alliance still had the advantage because all their powerhouses had terrifying battle prowess due to the Dream World, and they became true monsters after being boosted by the Four Symbol Mirror. On top of everything else, their legions were war machines as they had trained for this war with countless simulations.
Additionally, the Heaven-Devouring Emperor realized that after sharing his strength, he no longer had an overwhelming advantage in his fight against Feng Heng. On the contrary, the balance had shifted on the monk's side, forcing the Heaven-Devouring Emperor to reduce the power shared.
The Heaven-Devouring Emperor took a deep breath to regain his composure. "Our territories have been reduced to a little over 1200, and with each passing second, we are missing more. Any suggestions?"
No one answered.
'Could it be that enslaving these people's souls made them stupider? That shouldn't be the case,' the Heaven-Devouring Emperor thought before checking. No, there was nothing wrong with these people's intelligence as the technique only forcibly altered their perspective, making them extremely devoted to him.
'So, they are just stupid and useless,' he thought, feeling a great deal of anger rushing into his head. He was about to yell when someone stepped over.
"Almighty God, I may have a solution."
The entire lower dimension trembled, alarming all sentient beings. Then, all cultivators and people with high spiritual strength suddenly felt a sense of dread, doom, and terror; it was like death was approaching them, but they did not know where or when it would arrive.
The Heaven-Devouring Emperor stood from his throne, his gaze piercing through the distance. "That's..." He suddenly smiled. "So, you went there." He swiftly checked the Abyss Gap, where he noticed Wang Ju, who was hiding from his sight while secretly ensuring the seal. However, this explosion rattled her out and forced her out.
'Found you,' The Heaven-Devouring Emperor thought, his smile widening. He had finally put together Wang Wei's plans or response to their alliance, which greatly reassured and boosted his confidence.
"Immediately send the Divine Generals and the Divine Elephant Beast Emperor to capture Li Jun." As long as he can get his hands on Li Jun, even if he cannot turn him into a believer, he will be an excellent chess piece to deal with Wang Wei or the people in the Myriad Emperor World Alliance in general.
"All praise the Almighty God," said the old minister who suggested this plan, and soon afterward, everyone followed as they enchanted the same fate.
'Political power, fame, and worship are not as bad as I thought.' The Heaven-Devouring Emperor once disdained these things, believing only personal power was important.
"Go prepare. I'm going into battle." He knew he needed to distract the enemy to prevent them from sensing the situation in the Samsara Court and trying to intervene.
Samsara Court:
Li Jun sat on a black throne, his eyes closed, but his fingers kept tapping on the armrest. Someone may ask: what had gotten the Crimson Slaughter Emperor, ruler of Hell, in this restless state? He was annoyed beyond words. The greatest war in the history of the lower dimension was happening, yet he was stuck in this place as a spectator.
His blood was boiling because he desired battle, blood, and war. Sadly, he had to take his duty seriously, especially since countless people were dying every second, and he had to ensure things proceeded smoothly.
'I thought the hardest part about this job would be the monotony, but I was wrong - it's the temptation from outside,' Li Jun sighed as he opened his eyes. He exhaled to calm himself down. He was about to stand up to do his job when the place suddenly began to tremble.
'Something happened?' He sensed the terrifying power capable of destroying the lower dimension.
'Big brother should be fine, right?' He quickly checked and was relieved when he saw Wang Ju alive. 'All good. What a relief.'
Bang! The room trembled, which was very direct and noticeable this time.
"Intruders?" A wide grin appeared on Li Jun's face as his blood again started to boil. "Today must be my birthday." He disappeared from the throne room.
