Chapter 1679 - Heavenly Court Falls

“So that’s my past life.”

Chen Fan stared at the divine body before him. Or rather, at Qian Yuan. His expression was complicated.

He never expected to be the reincarnation of a God. Finally, everything clicked.

The Heaven Seizing Art was the cornerstone of Chen Fan’s rise to power.

The remnant map to Qian Yuan Sanctuary wasn’t a coincidence either. It was a contingency Qian Yuan had left behind, specifically to deal with the Deep Abyss Demon Lord.

Perhaps Qian Yuan had already foreseen the limits of reincarnation. He might not regain Godhood in time. Worse, he might never become a God again. That was why the Qian Yuan Sanctuary existed: a final safeguard.

The divine origin still remained within the divine body. Chen Fan only needed to fuse with the divine body to become God again.

That was the safeguard Qian Yuan had left behind!

A last resort meant to overturn the heavens when the myriad realms stood on the brink of annihilation.

“Perhaps this is fate. To shoulder the burden of protecting the myriad realms. I did it in my past life, and this life is no different. I don’t get to choose.”

Chen Fan looked at his past incarnation with a complicated expression.

Although he was the reincarnation of Qian Yuan’s divine soul, he had long since become his own man. Discovering the truth of his past left his heart in turmoil. That reaction was only natural.

Yet, he had no other choice.

Now that the Demon Realm had launched a large-scale invasion, once Deep Abyss Demon Lord attained the Dao and became God, no one across the myriad realms would be able to halt his advance.

Before a God, Immortal Emperors, and even Sages were ants. Even Great Sages and Sage Kings fared no better.

In this life, he had parents, family, lovers, senior brothers and sisters, and many friends. How could he stand aside and watch them die beneath demonic claws?

“I’ll fuse!”

Resolve hardened in Chen Fan’s eyes. In this life, he, Chen Fan, will protect the myriad realms!

Chen Fan leapt toward the divine body, chanting ancient incantations.

Hopefully, he could still make it in time!

......

Chen Fan’s bizarre disappearance didn’t make even a tiny splash in the chaotic myriad realms.

The Heavenly Realm and the demons’ armies were locked in a protracted, bitter tug of war.

As the flames of war spread, the demon race spread to many other worlds, like the Mystical Realm and the Void Realm.

Then, news arrived from the Demon Realm.

The Deep Abyss Demon Lord, once suppressed by Qian Yuan using the Demon Suppression Tower during the middle ancient era, had long since broken free. He was now on the verge of attaining the Dao and ascending to Godhood. He had already begun seeking enlightenment. Once he succeeded, the myriad realms would face extinction.

The myriad realms were shaken as soon as the news spread.

Attaining the Dao and becoming God... Within the myriad realms, even becoming a Sage was a rare feat. Godhood was almost a myth.

Since Qian Yuan’s fall in the middle ancient era, no one had ascended to the God realm. At best, cultivators could reach Sage King. Enlightenment itself had become increasingly elusive.

The wars of the primordial era, the early ancient era, and the clash of Gods in the middle ancient era had shattered the great Dao of the myriad realms. From then on, no one could attain the Dao to become God, and even seeking enlightenment had become exceptionally difficult.

If Deep Abyss Demon Lord truly succeeded, it would be an unprecedented calamity.

Only a God could oppose another God.

For the time, the myriad realms were gripped by fear and anxiety.

However, the myriad realms didn’t just sit back and wait for death. Led by several prosperous martial realms like the Mystical Realm and the Void Realm, the myriad realms formed a legion and charged into the Demon Realm to disrupt the Deep Abyss Demon Lord’s breakthrough.

The legion consisted of only Sages, with the weakest being at a One Lotus Sage. At its head were nine peak Sage Kings.

This was a suicide squad formed by a hundred and eight Sages, prepared to carve a path through hell itself.

About a dozen Sage powerhouses from the Heavenly Realm joined them. Among them was Zhao Kunyu, a One Lotus Sage from the Featherlight Sect.

They smashed through demonic resistance and swiftly reached the Deep Abyss Demon Lord’s lair.

Then came the slaughter.

Deep Abyss Demon Lord fought a hundred and eight Sages alone and displayed overwhelming strength, utterly defeating the army. In the end, only one Sage escaped with severe injuries and barely managed to recount the battle before dying.

This battle dealt a heavy blow to the confidence of the myriad realms.

Deep Abyss Demon Lord’s strength was simply horrifying, and this was before he attained the Dao and became God.

“It’s over! Is it even possible for the myriad realms to survive this?”

“The Sage legion was annihilated by him alone. Who could possibly stand against such a monster?”

Pessimism filled the myriad realms.

Meanwhile, the Demon Realm armies seized the opportunity to launch a fierce assault, dealing another heavy blow to the myriad realms.

In the Heavenly Realm, several Demon Realm Passageways guarded by the various immortal holy lands were breached in this assault. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Worse still, traitors emerged in the myriad realms. They defected to the demon race, willing to serve as their lackeys and pawns.

Time continued to flow under such pessimistic circumstances.

Soon, three hundred years passed.

With several immortal holy lands falling, demon armies flooded into the Heavenly Realm. Attacks came from multiple fronts, causing even more passageways to collapse.

The Featherlight Sect’s situation was very dire.

One of the three Sages of the Featherlight Sect, Zhao Kunyu, had perished in the Demon Realm. It was a devastating loss for them.

Fortunately, Si Kong, a reincarnated Sage, finally regained his cultivation. Through centuries of battle and the Featherlight Sect’s exhaustive support, he advanced to the Sage realm once more, barely filling the void Zhao Kunyu left behind.

Even so, the Featherlight Sect’s situation remained dire.

Amidst the precarious situation, a piece of news nearly sent the entire Heavenly Realm erupting into chaos.

The symbol of the Heavenly Realm—the Heavenly Court—had fallen!

The impact was immediate and catastrophic, like a chain of collapsing dominoes. The Heavenly Court was the symbol of the Heavenly Realm. Its undisputed supreme power. Among its nine Sages stood a Sage King, a being at the pinnacle of the Sage realm, just one step below Godhood.

Yet even the Heavenly Court could not withstand the onslaught.

More than half of the nine Sages had perished in this battle, leaving only four Sage realm powerhouses. Even the Heavenly Court’s Sage King, the Undying Elder, was forced to self-detonate under the assault of two Sage Kings of the demon race, bringing them down along with him.
