Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1883: Chapter 504: Leaving Seclusion, Contending for the Throne!

As the final century deadline approaches, the Abyss becomes unprecedentedly quiet. Everyone is wholly devoted to cultivation sprints, nobody engages in idle chatter, not even among fellow clans, as all are immersed in their cultivation sprints.

Though the majority are aware that they are unlikely to compete for the True King, or even become a True King’s assistant, cultivating in the Great Emperor Dojo and with the All Heavens Tower Emperor Artifact makes progress rapid. This is a rare opportunity, for once the True King competition concludes after a century, everyone will have to go to war, and thus no one can continue to elevate themselves here.

Then, it will be a battle against the Ancient Demons.

Right now, the more strength one gains, the greater the hope to survive at that time.

A century, a mere blink of an eye in the passage of time.

While everyone races in the Abyss, the Eastern Domain does not fall into the silence that the Emperors anticipated.

After the Ancestor Dragon Court was breached and the coalition of the Five Ancient Demon Clans seized the Eastern Domain, they did not pause for recuperation; instead, they immediately invaded other territories.

The ferocity and urgency took the Immortal Emperors by surprise; soon, they discovered that the Ancient Demon Royal Families in other domains had also allied, launching attacks on the borders of various realms.

Undoubtedly, the Ten Ancient Demon Clans also possess spaces of Emperor’s Consciousness. Perhaps the moment they conquered the Eastern Domain, the clan leaders of the Ten Clans reached a consensus and formed an allied army!

The catastrophe of one hundred thousand years ago officially arrived at this moment.

Not even a brief century of respite was given for the clans to prepare; nonstop attacks ensued.

Eastern Domain, at the Ancestor Dragon Court.

The former Royal Court turned into ruins, upon which five Demon Halls have been newly erected.

"Hmph, catching them off guard is exactly what we wanted. They think we attacked the Eastern Domain, incurred heavy losses, and will rest for hundreds of years. Little do they know, our accumulation over a hundred thousand years exceeds their imagination; sustaining combat through battle, giving them no chance to prepare!"

In the Demon Hall, the Yama Emperor Venerable chuckled lightly, though his gaze carried a tinge of cruel coldness.

Beside him stood a figure ethereal in presence, snow-white skin, pure black eyes—Mi Xueyao.

Since her last appearance on the battlefield and subsequent extermination, fortunately she possessed a special life-saving Emperor’s Weapon. As the sole bloodline of the Yama Emperor, she is dearly cherished by him.

Now, her aura is much stronger than before, surprisingly at the ten layers of perfection of the Immortal King Realm, seemingly holding her ground against the nearby Quasi-Emperor realm Ancient Demon experts!

After the Eastern Domain was conquered, she devoured many Quasi-Emperors exterminated by the Yama Emperor. These Quasi-Emperors were top powerhouses from various Eastern Domain clans, some being clan leaders of great clans, particularly a lineage of Ancestor Dragons. Their vigor Divine Blood and the trace of Emperor Blood condensed within them were also consumed and absorbed by her, resulting in rapid power growth.

Combat sustains combat, first nourishing the direct bloodlines of their Royal Family.

"The Eastern Domain is breached, inevitably the other realms will realize the threat and organize defenses. If we recuperate, it rightly gives them the chance to prepare; initiating attacks now is timely, after all, the other Five Clans are still recuperating, letting them lead the charge serves as a gesture of alliance."

The Poison Emperor calmly stated.

Now, having seized the Eastern Domain, the coalition of their Five Clans could be considered the strongest current force within the True Realm.

Unless the other Five Ancient Demon Clans ally, any single clan before them must bow its head.

After all, they are certainly not of kind-hearted nature; if the other Five Clans do not unite or refuse joining them, they may prioritize attacking them, gradually consuming them, consolidating all Ancient Demon strength before launching an assault on the True Realm Ten Thousand Races.

The other Five Clans evidently understand this logic. Compared to the True Realm Ten Thousand Clans, though they resent them, the True Realm Ten Thousand Clans usually hold the mentality of "blocking them is already good enough." If they retreat to the periphery of the True Realm, the Ten Thousand Clans would temporarily not want to bother them. If fighting the True Realm Ten Thousand Clans incurs heavy losses, fellow clans might instead backstab them.

"Indeed, a hundred thousand years ago we launched a swift attack, causing them heavy losses, even Emperors perished. Now it’s still a swift attack, even if they are prepared, they wouldn’t anticipate that right after the Eastern Domain’s conquest we would immediately launch a full-scale offensive."

Another clan leader of the Burning Flame Clan slightly nodded.

"I have already extracted some valuable intelligence from the Divine Soul of a Taichu Clan Quasi-Emperor, though he self-immolated his True God at the last moment, I still captured some fragments."

An Emperor Venerable of the Evil Mirror Clan said, not the clan leader, as their leader was grappling with the Dragon Ancestor; now he represented the Evil Mirror Clan in this strategic meeting.

"Oh?"

The Yama Emperor’s eyes lightly flickered, looking towards him.

"These Ten Thousand Clans creatures have also long prepared against us. They seem to have made an emergency agreement that once war begins with our clan, the Ten Thousand Clans will unite, and all Emperor Venerables from various sides will take part, potentially facing more Emperor Venerable threats this time."

The Evil Mirror Clan Emperor Venerable stated.

The Poison Emperor calmly said, "This is expected, but not all Emperor Venerables care about those creatures; the Emperor Venerables have long attained freedom, reaching the culmination of cultivation. Several Emperor Venerables have already agreed not to interfere in this battle, and afterward we won’t bother them, swearing by the Heavenly Dao, neither side will easily breach it."

"Indeed, as Emperor Venerables, disciples and bloodlines bear no significance. In the river of time, bloodline will wither and perish. So-called disciples, even if taught, at most reach Emperor Venerable, equal to oneself, what’s the point? Rather than concerning these, it’s better to open more Emperor Roads; perhaps by merging multiple Emperor Roads, an unprecedented realm can be achieved to become the Supreme God Venerable."
