As the heroes stepped out of the Crimson Wave Palace, there were still many Dao Lords within the Yi Bo Realm, but they dared not act recklessly.

Each of them has a dharma body left behind in their lair to keep a close watch on the news from the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace.

The dramatic changes in the top rankings clearly stunned everyone, leaving them all shocked!

"In this upheaval, nearly half of the peak-level beings perished in the Yi Bo Realm or the Chi Bo Palace!"

"This is still the number of many reclusive Daoist masters who have appeared here because of the Dongming Jade Talisman."

"Otherwise, the number of surviving peak Dao Lords in this era would be even smaller, perhaps only a handful!"

The crowd sighed in dismay. With the emergence of the Yi Bo Realm, many experts who had previously cultivated in seclusion all made their appearance. However, even more had perished. More than half of the peak Dao Lords were lost, and those at the second, top, and ordinary levels also fell one after another.

It is no exaggeration to say that the number of Dao Lords in the vast Yanlong Domain has decreased by more than 30%!

Similarly, the five Dongming Jade Talismans are in the hands of Cao Ya, the Wine Saint, Xiaomeng Daojun, and Jiuchen Sect Master, respectively. In the years to come, they may give rise to a new ruler!

Those nine divine fruits also brought great rewards to Cao Ya, Ji Ning, the Wine Saint, Palace Master Li Xing, and the King of Light. Whether they traded with the Emperors or waited to use them after achieving Dao Integration, they had a wide range of choices.

Among the Eternal Emperors of this realm, there may be several top-tier individuals who break through to the level of Holy City Lord, and the Holy City Lords themselves may also advance to a higher minor realm.

The three rulers, having obtained divine fruits through the trade, can also increase their strength. In particular, the ruler of Mangya Kingdom even has the hope of advancing to a super ruler!

From the perspective of the Flame Dragon Domain, overall, this competition has resulted in significant losses, but the gains are far greater!

As long as a ruler can emerge, it's not a loss no matter how many Dao Lords of Life and Death die!

"Everyone, the five Dongming Jade Talismans and the nine kinds of divine fruits are all owned. You may leave now."

The spirit of the realm, Pu Luo, appeared and pointed his finger, causing the sky of the Yi Bo Realm to crack open, revealing many passages.

"Haha, although I didn't get any treasures, I was able to witness the battle between the peak Dao Lords and see the life-and-death struggle of various top experts. It was a worthwhile trip."

The heroes laughed loudly and left at the same time.

Cao Ya also went out, accompanied by Ji Ning, the Nine Dust Sect Master, Daoist Laiya, as well as the Wine Saint, Palace Master Lixing, Daoist Xiaomeng, King of Light, and others.

Most of them possessed jade talismans or divine fruits; at the very least, they had learned the superior techniques of the two Sith tribes. Yet, they smiled broadly, exchanging words aloud, each quite satisfied with their own abilities.

In fact, for a peak Dao Lord, not falling in the Crimson Wave Palace was already a good ending.

At this moment, outside the Yi Bo Realm, countless ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivators had already dispersed their formations and retreated to the side.

They gazed at the terrifying figures in the sky with expressions of awe.

Those are all Eternal Emperors, very few are at the top level, most are Lords of Holy Cities, and even Sovereigns have appeared here!

The Dao Alliance, Mangya Kingdom, Special Life Forms, Ancient Cultivators, Dark Kingdom, and Eternal Clan—these are the six major forces of the Flame Dragon Domain. At the very least, the Lord of the Holy City has personally come!

The rulers of Mangya, Fengyu, and Minglan also appeared.

Furthermore, to the astonishment of the assembled heroes, in addition to the three native rulers, there was another unfamiliar ruler standing alongside the Mangya Ruler, whose aura was unfathomable and who was clearly incredibly powerful!

"Lord Lan Hao." The lords of the Holy City bowed. They had to show respect to a ruler, even one of ordinary level, and dared not be impolite.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Hao." The Lord of Wind and Rain and the Lord of Dark Orchid greeted him in return.

Lan Hao, the ruler who dared to compete for the other universe and almost succeeded, may be slightly inferior to Mangya, the ruler in terms of strength, but he is undoubtedly superior to the two of them.

Sovereign Lan Hao returned the greeting and said with a smile, "I have recovered from my injuries and originally planned to leave your Flame Dragon Domain to continue to inquire about the whereabouts of the unclaimed alien universe and participate in the struggle. However, I suddenly had a change of heart and decided to stay."

"The Yi Bo Realm and the Dongming Jade Talisman are not worth our efforts as rulers, but I never expected that the Yi Bo Emperor would actually move the legendary Crimson Wave Palace to the Yi Bo Realm..."

As Lan Hao spoke, he clicked his tongue in amazement and admiration.

The preciousness of the Crimson Wave Palace is beyond doubt. The Eternal Emperor craves those nine divine fruits, especially the sixth, seventh, and eighth fruits, which ripen once every ninety thousand Chaos Eras, and the ninth divine fruit, which ripens once every one hundred thousand Chaos Eras!

Even the rulers would be envious!

Yet, Emperor Yi Bo was actually willing to place such a precious treasure within the Yi Bo Realm of the Eternal Realm of the Great Mo Domain!

If it were Lord Lan Hao, he would definitely keep it a secret and not allow anyone to enter!

"Emperor Yi Bo has made great contributions to the Flame Dragon Domain. He is the most outstanding figure in our history." Lord Minglan also expressed his admiration.

"Haha, according to some information, Emperor Yibo has long been the master of the Dao of Deduction. In the two great paths of cause and effect and formation, he has also reached the level of the Lord of the Holy City. His life is much more comfortable than ours. No matter which domain or universe he goes to, he is always a guest of honor of the local ruler." Lord Fengyu laughed.

"To roam the chaotic universe..." Sovereign Mangya sighed softly. If another Sovereign could emerge from the native Chaotic Divine Beast race... no, even the Lord of the Holy City, he would leave, go on adventures, compete with various Sovereigns, and even seize other universes!

Unfortunately, Mangya cannot do without him; if he were to leave, it would immediately fall from its position among the six major powers.

"That guy Yi Bo is indeed incredibly perceptive and a prodigy."

The lords of the holy cities of the Dao Alliance were both happy and helpless.

As an Eternal Emperor who originated from the Dao Alliance, it would be best if Emperor Yi Bo could treat the Dao Lords of the Dao Alliance with some preferential treatment.

The Holy City Lord of the Eternal Clan and the Dark Kingdom, who also admires Emperor Yibo.

At least they didn't reject the life and death Dao Lords of their two major clans. They still have a chance to break into the Yi Bo Realm, which is very grateful.

Although the Eternal Clan suffered heavy casualties among their Dao Lords, the Crimson Wave Palace will have opportunities once the 30,000 Chaos Era begins; they can't be this unlucky every time.

Even though the Yin-Yang Life and Death Wheel within the Yu Xing Sea was a huge threat, the Crimson Wave Palace was opened more than thirty times after a million Chaos Eras.

Moreover, how could any great opportunity possibly be won without casualties and the fall of a number of Dao Lords?

As emperors, this is how they have come to be, and they have long been accustomed to it. Infighting among their own kind is nothing new to them.

There's no other way; no matter how vast the realm, the various rare resources are limited, so we can only compete for them!

The heroes were mentally prepared before they entered Yi Bo's realm. Upon hearing the news, they only felt a little disappointed, but not much else.

Of course, even if there was anger, it would be suppressed and not revealed. After all, this place was the Great Mo Domain, the core of the Dao Alliance. Among those Dao Lords who had reaped great harvests, most belonged to the Dao Alliance and were planning to trade and obtain a batch of divine fruits. How could they offend them in advance?

The Holy City Lord of the Dark Kingdom remained calm. His clan's Wine Saint had reaped considerable rewards: a Cave-Dwelling Jade Talisman and the Eighth Divine Fruit. It was quite good, second only to Cao Ya and Ji Ning.

"Whoosh." The passageway appeared, and all the emperors immediately looked over, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"Whoosh." Then, one Dao Lord after another flew out from the crisscrossing passages.

Originally, the heroes were talking, discussing the achievements of the top experts, and speculating who would achieve eternal enlightenment. Suddenly, a large group of eternal emperors came into view, most of whom were lords of holy cities. Moreover, the four sovereigns were gazing at them, their profound understanding of the Dao inspiring fear.

In an instant, all the heroes were stunned.

"Get out of the way!" Someone, quick-witted as ever, immediately understood the emperors' intentions and shouted.

With a whoosh, the heroes instantly retreated, standing alongside the Dao Lords outside, but daring not to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Emperors.

"I'm afraid more than half of the strongest beings in our realm have arrived."

The crowd discussed the matter heatedly, growing increasingly excited. Such a scene was enough to become a topic of conversation and be passed down through many chaotic eras.

Especially among the several rulers, even those at the peak of the Dao Lord realm, very few are qualified to pay homage to them!

When Cao Ya, Ji Ning, the Wine Saint, and others returned to the outside world, the atmosphere in this region became extremely lively!

"Daoist Mingguang, what is your need for the Cold Flame Cauldron Fruit, and how would you like to trade it?"

"Young friend Beiming, I wish to trade the Xuan Tian Yin Fruit and the Luo Sha Mi Golden Fruit. What treasures do you desire?"

"The Wine Saint, Palace Master Li Xing, King of Light..."

Many emperors spoke up, wanting to make a deal with the five Dao Lords regarding the divine fruit.

Even the usually composed rulers smiled slightly and flew closer.

Ji Ning, the Wine Saint, Palace Master Li Xing, and the King of Light were all quite bewildered, then suddenly realized what was happening.

The other Dao Lords shook their heads, glanced at the five with envy, and flew to the side.

Cao Ya had anticipated this. Of his three divine fruits, the first and fourth were only considered relatively precious, but the ninth, the Cold Flame Cauldron Fruit, which ripened once every 100,000 Chaos Eras and yielded 300 fruits at a time, was extremely rare, even tempting the rulers.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce them." Emperor Jinyu of the Dao Alliance said with a smile, introducing many emperors, especially Sovereign Lan Hao. He was an outsider, and there was not much information about him circulating within the domain. The Dao Lords might not know about him.

Other rulers and lords of holy cities are all well-known, and even if you haven't seen them in person, you can usually recognize them by combining information.

"Blue Sky Sovereign, Mangya Sovereign, Wind and Rain Sovereign, Dark Orchid Sovereign, Golden Isle Emperor..."

The five people cupped their hands in respect, showing their deference to both the ruler and the lord of the holy city.

Those who can appear here are more than a dozen emperors, but even the worst are top-tier holy city lords!

Weaker lords of holy cities can only shout from the outside, let alone the top emperors.

"Mingguang, Beiming, and Jiusheng, what do you need? Our Dao Alliance has abundant resources and can satisfy all your needs." Emperor Jinyu was full of confidence; the Dao Alliance's reserves far exceeded those of the other five!

The ninth, eighth, seventh, and sixth divine fruits are the ones that emperors crave the most!

Of course, the first to fifth divine fruits cannot be ignored. The value of a single fruit is not that high, but the quantity is too great!

For example, the first Qingning Fruit in Cao Ya's hands costs over 100,000! The ninth Cold Flame Dinghua Fruit costs only 300.

"Wine Saint." The Fifth Emperor of the Dark Kingdom called out, and the Wine Saint immediately flew over.

As an outside force, the Dark Kingdom is not in a good position. Since the Wine Saint has obtained the Eighth Divine Fruit, he will naturally trade a large amount of it with the Emperor within the clan. He will keep some for himself, but if he fails to achieve Dao Integration, he will have no use for it. Given his personality, he should hand it all over to the clan to enrich the Dark Kingdom's foundation.

Of course, the clan will do its best to supply what the Wine Saint needs, even if it means sacrificing the cultivation resources of holy city lords like the Five Emperors!

The Dark Kingdom will not keep all of the Eighth Divine Fruit. In order to maintain good relations, they will always set aside a batch for trading with the other five kingdoms.

"Bei Ming, Li Xing," the Mangya Overlord said, "I hope that your second, sixth, seventh, and fifth divine fruits can be traded with our Mangya Kingdom."

Both of these individuals belong to the Mangya Kingdom, and are, in fact, subordinates of the Mangya Ruler.

However, the Lord of Mangya did not use force to coerce him.

Once the Thirty Thousand Chaos Era begins, only Dao Lords of Life and Death can enter the Crimson Wave Palace.

This time they've put them in a position of coercion, and any future attempts to make a deal will be virtually impossible.

Moreover, as leaders of the Flame Dragon Domain, they cannot act recklessly and must always pay attention to basic order.

Otherwise, if the realm is in chaos and the homeland is in great ruin, it will be difficult to bear, and even Emperor Yibo will have to return in person to take away the Yibo Realm and the Chibo Palace!

At that point, it will all be for naught, and there will be no chance to obtain the divine fruit again.

"Your Majesty, we will." Ji Ning and Palace Master Li Xing exchanged a glance and both nodded.

Ji Ning possessed three types of divine fruits: the second, sixth, and seventh. The quantity was not small. He kept a batch for himself, but he could exchange a considerable amount for what he needed.

The same applies to Palace Master Li Xing.

"Light, what treasure do you desire?"

The Blue Sky Sovereign, the Dark Orchid Sovereign, the Wind and Rain Sovereign, and the lords of various holy cities all spoke up, hoping to trade divine fruits with the five.

Cao Ya had already come up with a plan, and answered directly: "My request is very simple: I can exchange the Enlightenment Treasure for the Divine Fruit."

The group of emperors hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded. They were powerful enough, had lived for a very long time, and possessed more than one related enlightenment treasure.

Cao Ya used parts of the Ninth, Fourth, and First Divine Fruits to obtain five Enlightenment Treasures from the Dao Alliance, Mangya Ruler, Lanhao Ruler, Fengyu Ruler, and Minglan Ruler.

Apart from that, Cao Ya wanted none of the eternal divine weapons or cosmic divine materials, and would no longer engage in any transactions.

"Now, including the Purple Lightning Cold Flame, there are six Dao-enlightening treasures and two Cave-Dark Jade Talismans. I should be able to successfully merge with the Dao on my strongest path."

Cao Ya thought to himself that he was already satisfied.

If one achieves eternal union with the Dao, then the remaining divine fruit will also be of use to him.

At the same time, the Wine Saint, the Palace Master of Lixing Palace, and the King of Light also completed their transactions, obtaining what they needed and leaving behind some divine fruits.

Only Ji Ning was in no hurry, and only made his request after the four of them had finished.

"Resurrect your senior sister?" The group of emperors were all stunned.

Such a requirement is far more unusual than that of Cao Ya and the other three.

"Yes! I am willing to offer up all the divine fruits!" Ji Ning's eyes were full of expectation.

As long as he can revive his senior sister Yu Wei, Ji Ning doesn't care about any divine fruit or even a Dao-merging treasure!

Such affection drew the attention of many, who secretly praised Ji Ning as a devoted lover.

Cao Ya shook his head inwardly and sighed. Even a Super Ruler couldn't resurrect Yu Wei!

Even the supreme being cannot do it!

Ji Ning's hopes were destined to be dashed!
