Buzz—
In a certain space behind the Divine Dynasty's camp on the battlefield outside the domain.
An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face sat cross-legged on a blue lotus, surrounded by a halo of light, giving people a very sacred feeling.
The aura surrounding him seemed to possess a spirit, transforming into wisps of light that weaved among the figures in the space.
This stream of light seems to be extraordinary.
Whenever they pass by a figure, they not only pass by its side, but also through its body.
If one senses them with their soul, one can discover that they also flow through these cultivators' dantian, soul sea, and divine soul.
After each crossing, these cultivators would fall into a state of enlightenment.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these cultivators look ordinary, with no obvious cultivation aura or fluctuations of rules or the Great Dao.
In fact.
These cultivators were all God Emperors.
Although the number is not large, it still exceeds one hundred.
These god-emperors range from the early to the later stages, and even include those at the peak of their cultivation.
However, they were all sitting upright on the ground, without any airs of a god-emperor. They were extremely respectful, even awe-inspiring, towards the white-haired, youthful-looking old man.
Buzz!
The halo flowed and swirled, continuously entering the bodies of many god emperors, settling in their soul seas, and touching their divine souls.
Let them continuously comprehend the great principle of speed.
Under normal circumstances.
For cultivators who lack the talent for speed, cultivating the Great Dao of Speed is not easy.
They might not even grasp the basics of the Great Dao of Speed in their entire lives.
But in the world of the Dao Saint, with his help, other cultivators can also comprehend the Great Dao of Speed.
However, the extent to which one understands something depends entirely on the individual.
All the Daoist sage can do is guide them into the path.
now.
This process has been going on for who knows how many years, and it seems it will continue indefinitely.
But suddenly...
With a whoosh!
The ever-flowing halo suddenly stopped without warning and then instantly dissipated.
The God Emperors, who were comprehending the Great Dao of Speed, were slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at the old man sitting cross-legged on the green lotus.
He frowned slightly, then took out a nearly blank life bead. A certain spiritual aura within the life bead was silently dissipating.
"This is……"
All the gods were slightly taken aback.
Those who could carry the life beads on the old man's body were undoubtedly powerful individuals whose cultivation had reached the late stage of God Emperor or above.
But at this moment, this powerful figure seemed to have already perished.
Many other cultivators were unaware of the identity of the soul aura within the Life Pearl, but the disciples and elders of the Tianyu Sect knew, and they immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Has something happened to Elder Fu?"
"How is this possible? Didn't the Third Elder just return? How could Elder Fu have perished?"
"Damn it, something happened to Tianyu Sect?"
...
The disciples and elders of the Tianyu Sect all stared at the old man in astonishment.
An elder exclaimed urgently, "Sect Master, the Third Elder has just returned to the Tianyu Sect, and now Elder Fu has run into trouble. Could it be that he was assassinated?"
That's right.
The old man sitting cross-legged on the blue lotus is the sect leader of the Tianyu Sect, also known as the sage of the Tianyu Sect.
The only Dao Saint in Yulong Heaven!
"This matter..."
Dao Sheng of Tianyu Sect frowned slightly. He didn't know exactly what had happened. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw the elders of his sect exclaiming in surprise.
"It's bad news, Sect Master! A large number of our Tianyu Sect disciples have perished."
"Sect Master, the other elders have also fallen one after another."
"It's over. It seems that all the disciples and elders of my Tianyu Sect who stayed in Yulongtian have perished."
...
As they were talking, the elders of the Tianyu Sect took out communication beads to send messages to the disciples and elders within the sect, but... all the communication marks collapsed.
This means that they all perished, none of them survived.
Such a scene.
This not only shocked the cultivators of the Tianyu Sect, but also made the other God Emperors look at each other in disbelief.
How could this be?
The Heavenly Sect Dao Saint's face was gloomy.
How long has it been? From the fall of the Eighth Elder to the fall of the other elders and disciples, only a few breaths have passed.
Moreover, there's also the Third Elder, a God Emperor at the Perfected Stage, present.
Even a God Emperor at the peak of his power would find it difficult to kill so many powerful figures from the Tianyu Sect in such a short time.
He immediately thought of Dao Saints of the same level.
How could Dao Sheng appear in Yulongtian?
He didn't quite understand.
The next moment.
The Dao Saint of the Tianyu Sect sensed that the restrictions and formations he had set up in the Tianyu Sect's treasure vault had been broken.
But he no longer cared about that.
"Quickly, send a message to the other God Emperors of Yulong Heaven and ask them what exactly happened."
Dao Sheng gave the order in a deep voice.
"Yes, Sage!"
The God Emperors from Yulongtian hurriedly began sending messages back to their respective factions, contacting other God Emperors or their friends.
The three god emperors of the demon race, the monster race, and the human race were contacted separately.
Within moments, the God Emperor reported back in great alarm.
"My lord, the Third Elder has gone mad. For some unknown reason, he suddenly killed Elder Fu, and also killed other elders of the Tianyu Sect, not even sparing the disciples."
Upon hearing this news, the other elders of the Tianyu Sect instinctively retorted, "Impossible!"
"How could the Third Elder do such a thing? Don't talk nonsense."
"How could the Third Elder be insane? With his strength, who could possibly drive him mad?"
...
All the disciples and elders of the Tianyu Sect did not believe the news, and their tone was very certain.
Seeing this, the three divine emperors of the three races looked helpless.
Dao Sheng stopped the Tianyu Sect cultivators with a look, then asked the other God Emperors in a deep voice, "You say the Third Elder has gone mad? What exactly happened?"
Immediately, a human god-emperor replied: "Reporting to the sage, according to the message from the god-emperors within the clan, the third elder has suddenly fallen into a state of madness for some unknown reason. He not only killed all the other cultivators of the Tianyu Sect, but also destroyed the entire Tianyu Sect. Now he is even hunting down the late-stage god-emperors of the demon and monster races."
Another demon god emperor cautiously said, "Sage, it is said that before the Third Elder went mad, he uttered the word 'desire,' and then he went completely insane."
"The Great Way of Desire?"
Not only did Dao Sheng frown, but the other God Emperors also instantly guessed why the Third Elder had gone mad.
Immediately, a God Emperor hesitated and said, "Could it be that a Saint Realm expert who cultivates the Great Dao of Desire attacked the Third Elder? Otherwise, with the Third Elder's perfect God Emperor cultivation and powerful Great Dao of Cause and Effect, a God Emperor of the same level should not be able to drive him crazy."
"That's right. Even if they were both at the peak of the God Emperor realm and cultivated the Great Dao of Desire, they shouldn't be able to drive the Third Elder crazy in a short time."
"It's obvious there's a spy specifically targeting the Third Elder."
"But how did outsiders know that the Third Elder had returned? Could it be..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant.
A traitor has emerged in the Divine Dynasty, and this traitor is most likely from among them.
Only the cultivators in the world of the Heavenly Universe Sect Saint knew about the Third Elder's return; cultivators outside were completely unaware.
"Don't make wild guesses, the traitor is not from among you."
Tianyu Sect Dao Saint waved his hand.
This is his world, and as long as he doesn't want to, no cultivator can send any message back.
He was very certain.
It wasn't the cultivators in this world who betrayed the divine dynasty or him.
But if it wasn't because of betrayal, then why was it?
His face looked extremely pale.
Without a doubt.
Regardless of where the problem lies, this seems to be an operation specifically targeting the Third Elder and his Tianyu Sect.
The Third Elder had barely returned to Yulong Heaven when trouble struck.
He absolutely refused to believe that this wasn't a scheme against the Third Elder and against his Tianyu Sect.
"Is it the Heavenly Court? Or the Daoist Palace?"
The Dao Saint of Tianyu Sect secretly guessed, but had no clue.
call--
Tianyu Sect Dao Saint took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and instantly stood up, preparing to seek help from other Dao Saints, as he needed to return to Yulong Heaven.
But just then...
Suddenly, another God Emperor exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible?"
The sound was very soft, but it had already attracted the attention of other God Emperors, including Dao Sheng of Tianyu Sect.
Immediately, a God Emperor asked with a hint of reproach, "What happened?"
Tianyu Sect Dao Saint also looked over.
The God Emperor of the Cerberus Clan said awkwardly, "It's nothing, just a small matter. Our clan's treasure trove was stolen at some point, and the thief didn't leave any trace."
This was actually a big deal for it, otherwise it wouldn't have exclaimed in surprise.
But compared to the destruction of Tianyu Sect, the killing of Elder Fu, and the madness of the Third Elder, these are really nothing to mention.
It was somewhat worried that this matter might anger the Sage of the Tianyu Sect.
After all, the sage had just gotten up, so it was clear that something was on his mind.
"Your clan has a late-stage God Emperor, so your treasure vault's formation should be very powerful. How could it be stolen?"
"Really, not a single trace was left? Not even the formation was touched?"
"No! If the Cerberus clan's treasure vault is stolen, what about what we teach?"
Upon hearing this, the God Emperors were startled.
With a whoosh.
They could no longer care about anything else and hurriedly sent messages back to their clans, sects, and cults, instructing their powerful members to check the condition of their own treasure vaults.
This was true not only for the God Emperor of Yulongtian.
Even the God Emperors of other realms, though they didn't believe their own treasure troves would be robbed, still took a cautious approach and sent messages back to at least warn others.
But in just a few breaths, many God Emperors exclaimed in surprise.
"Hiss... My tribe has been robbed too!"
"Damn it! Our sect has been robbed too, and nothing was left, not even a single refining material."
"Damn it! All the resources our family has accumulated over countless years have been stolen!"
"Who on earth dared to steal everything from our Jade Dragon Heaven?"
"Not only your Yulongtian, but our Yuanzaitian was also robbed."
"And there's our Imperial Qi..."
...
As the various God Emperors spoke up, their expressions gradually turned astonished.
They suddenly realized that it seemed that none of the eleven heavens of the entire Divine Dynasty had been spared.
Although there aren't many God Emperors here, they can't represent all the forces of the entire God Dynasty.
But as the saying goes, you can only see the whole picture through a tube.
All the forces of so many God Emperors were robbed, and the treasures of the eleventh heaven of the God Dynasty and other forces were also stolen. There was no reason why they wouldn't be stolen.
"Hiss..."
"The entire treasury of the Divine Dynasty has been robbed; this is a major event!"
"Who on earth is it? How could someone possess such power?"
"Yes, with the power of a saint, how powerful is the array of the treasure vault? How can one just walk in like that without being discovered?"
"Was this the work of a spatial sage?"
"The Heavenly Court or the Dao Palace? How could such a powerful figure from them have infiltrated our Divine Dynasty?"
...
All the God Emperors were whispering among themselves.
Tianyu Sect Dao Saint also felt a sense of foreboding, and he understood better than the other God Emperors what this meant.
Whoosh!
The Dao Saint of the Heavenly Universe Sect left his own world and returned outside, appearing in a magnificent hall in a few flashes.
Various auras circulated within the main hall, including not only the aura of rules, but also the aura of the Great Dao, as well as the aura of chaos and the will of heaven and earth.
It appears to be quite chaotic, yet they blend together harmoniously without any conflict.
Apart from a huge Taoist chair carved with dragons and phoenixes at the very head of the hall, there were no other seats inside.
However, on both sides of the main hall, there are stone tablets standing.
Each stone tablet contains an extremely vast aura. Even a God Emperor at the peak of cultivation would appear extremely insignificant under this vast aura.
They...were left behind by the Daoist sage.
Each stone tablet carries the aura of a Daoist saint.
The Dao Saint of Tianyu Sect entered the main hall, cupped his hands slightly, and his voice resounded throughout the hall: "Fellow Daoists, something has happened within the territory of the Divine Dynasty."
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Dao Stele exuded an aura that caused illusory figures to appear instantly before solidifying.
These figures all possessed exceptionally powerful auras, and each of them was no weaker than the Dao Saint of the Tianyu Sect, or even stronger.
They include men and women, demons and monsters.
They all take human form, but the Dao Saints of the demon and monster races also reveal some characteristics of their own race in their appearance.
But no one was visible on that Taoist chair.
The other Dao Saints were neither surprised nor concerned.
"Alas, I am already aware of what has happened within the Divine Dynasty!"
As soon as these figures appeared, Dao Sheng sighed softly.
Obviously.
The news of the theft of the treasure vault has already been sent to these Dao Saints by the God Emperors of the other heavens.
"Hmph! I never expected that a Dao Saint would be so shameless as to commit such a theft. It is a disgrace to our Dao Saints."
"I wonder if it was the Heavenly Court or the Daoist Palace that did it?"
"These scoundrels only know how to do petty theft and thievery."
...
Many Daoist saints were furious.
Although the resources in these treasure troves are nothing to beings like them.
After all, the best resources are all on them.
But the saints remained very angry.
That was, after all, the treasure trove of the entire Divine Dynasty, the resources used by all forces to cultivate those below the Dao Saint level. How terrifying was that when all of it was combined?
As a result, so many resources were stolen silently by other entities.
This is a disgrace to the Divine Dynasty.
This intensified the anger of many Daoist saints among them.
Their respective treasure troves even contain formations they personally set up.
However, it did not provide any protection.
Not only was the treasure vault robbed, but it didn't even attract their attention; the thief moved in as if he owned the place.
This made these Daoist saints feel somewhat embarrassed.
Fortunately, everyone is in the same boat.
It wasn't just one or two Daoist saints whose sects were robbed.
That's how they avoided losing face.
That's not what I was talking about!
The Dao Saint of Tianyu Sect said helplessly in a deep voice, "The theft of the treasure vault is secondary. At most, we will lose some resources. But the key issue is that a Dao Saint is causing trouble in my Yulong Heaven. Not only did he destroy my Tianyu Sect, but he is also hunting down other God Emperors in my Yulong Heaven. Even my Third Elder has gone mad."
These words startled all the other Dao Saints.
"What? The God Emperor Xiuyuan has gone mad?"
"Didn't Xiu Yuan just go back? How could something have happened to him?"
"So it seems that this is a Daoist saint specifically targeting those who cultivate affinity?"
...
Many Dao Saints looked rather grim. The madness of the God Emperor of Karma was a considerable loss for their divine dynasty.
Xiu Yuan is the name of the third elder of the Tianyu Sect.
"Indeed, it was someone who cultivates the Great Dao of Desire who made the move, causing Xiu Yuan to become possessed and go mad. We must find a way to save him."
The Dao Saint of Tianyu Sect said in a deep voice, "It's not just about saving Xiuyuan, but also... I'm more worried that the Dao Saint in the shadows is not only targeting my Yulong Heaven, but will also take action against other heavens of the Divine Dynasty. At that time, things will probably be troublesome."
Upon hearing these words from the Dao Saint of Tianyu Sect, all the other Dao Saints fell into deep thought.
They all knew that what the Dao Saint of Tianyu Sect said made sense.
In just a moment.
They then made a decision.
"Let's go, prepare our Divine Dynasty army for an attack."
"This time, the Heavenly Court and the Dao Palace must pay the price they deserve."
“Send out a mid-stage Dao Saint to find an opportunity to go back, while we will provide cover.”
...
The decision made by these Dao Saints seemed extremely hasty, without even any discussion process, before hastily deciding what to do.
It seems a bit reckless.
But none of the Dao Saints objected; they all agreed to do so.
The same applies to the Dao Saint of the Tianyu Sect.
In an instant.
Tianyu Sect Dao Saint left the main hall.
Powerful figures also emerged from other spaces within the Divine Dynasty camp.
boom--
This moment.
Their aura was released without reservation, sweeping across the entire extraterritorial battlefield.
at the same time.
Dao Sheng's thunderous voice also resounded among the Divine Dynasty's army.
"Army, heed my command! War!"
