Chapter 1736: Gathering in Heavenly Origin, Preparing For The Decisive Battle

Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, central region, Heavenly Star Plains.

This was the location of the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Ever since the aura of the withering glory resonance leaked out, this location had been the core focus of the divine continents. With the Divine Continent Federation in the lead, the numerous alliances did their best to set up the most powerful formations they could around it. The Heavenly Emperor powers on the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent also focused their defenses here. It was because of these defenses that none of the Other Dominions were able to sneak into this region.

As of today, all the living creatures of the divine continents were paying close attention to this place. After all, an inevitably tragic battle would unfold here, one that would determine the fate of the divine continents. The Ten Divine continents and the Shadow World would clash with everything they had.

Towering man-made mountains stood in the center of the plains. They were surrounded by boundless rainbow-colored energy streams that intertwined with each other, forming a terrifyingly powerful formation that enveloped the sky. Countless people were flying back and forth, the atmosphere foreboding and depressing.

Several figures stood imposingly on top of the middle mountain. The pressure that radiated gave the forces below a slight sense of relief. Leading the group was a tall and noble man. He was particularly eye-catching, since his eyes were like suns and endless light bloomed behind him. If one were to peer closely, it was as though a temple loomed within the light. That was the Radiant King, Qi Huang.

As the leader of the Divine Continent Federation, Qi Huang was the true leader of the divine continents. All of the alliances and experts had great faith in him and respected him deeply. Under his leadership and guidance, countless Kings had sprouted out across the divine continents over the past few years, greatly bolstering their power.

Qi Huang raised his head, his eyes focused on the void within the Heavenly Star Plains. There were signs that spatial rifts were about to crack open and the Spiritual Resonance Cave was about to emerge once more. However, things would be completely different from the past.

The previous Spiritual Resonance Cave was a trial ground for the juniors of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. The energy undulations that were being emitted now, however, were powerful enough to cause Qi Huang to feel a sense of pressure. This was because two very special energies were flowing out of the emerging spatial rifts, travelling north and south.

A million miles south of the Heavenly Star Plains was a place teeming with life and vitality. Wherever the energy passed, dense forests would sprout, flesh would grow from bones, and even severed limbs would regenerate.

Meanwhile, on the northern side of the Heavenly Star Plains, all life had been extinguished and all matter decayed to dust. Life was withering on one side and thriving gloriously on the other.

"As expected of the withering glory resonance. In terms of power, it's even stronger than the windflame resonance that appeared in the Xia Kingdom," said Qi Huang, his expression solemn as he observed the slowly collapsing void.

Only the Legendary Sect Master was capable of ensuring that her resonances could survive for all of eternity. Since that was the case, it was expected that the withering glory resonance had also reached the Divine Fruit Realm. Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperors of the divine continents were unable to assist here. If they did, the Grand Devil Kings of the Shadow World would join as well, descending feverishly and escalating the Origin Reversion War to untold levels.

"No matter what happens, the Divine Fruit withering glory resonance cannot fall into the hands of the Shadow World or the Origin Reversion Institute. If it does, the Heavenly Emperors of the divine continents will be under greater pressure once the Ten Years of Heavenly Fate end." Qi Huang sighed and his gaze turned sharp. As he inspected the area around him, he could sense that the reinforcements from the other divine continents were rushing over.

He could also sense that terrifying amounts of corruption were condensing in the distant western border of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. The corruption source origin was suffocating and almost ink-like, so powerful that he would have to face them with all his strength.

Qi Huang's expression turned even more solemn as he said, "All Nine Devil Kings of Sin have descended. The corruption source origin there has begun to surge wildly, and it seems it will soon reach the Heavenly Star Plains with the desire to destroy everything."

As a whole, the Shadow World had a clear advantage. Preventing them from obtaining the withering glory resonance would definitely cost the divine continents dearly. As Qi Huang sighed deeply, streams of light whizzed across the horizon.

The first group to arrive was led by none other than Li Tianji, who reported, "Federation Chief Qi Huang, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li has used a special art to shift the five main mountains of our lineage to the northwestern defensive line. The bloodline protection formation is already active."

Behind Li Tianji were several familiar faces: Li Qingying, Li Jinjiao, and Li Xuanwu. What was more surprising was that behind them were Li Jiluo and Li Qingpeng. Both of them emanated source origin fluctuations, indicating that they had both reached the Single Crowned King Stage.

Another extraordinary figure approached. This individual had a graceful figure, gorgeous features, and a head of long, flowing hair, resembling an immortal fairy of water. Qin Yi from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin had arrived. She said in a clear and gentle voice, "Federation Chief Qi Huang, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin has also moved its headquarters here. The protection formations have been activated and we're situated on the southeastern defensive line."

Thunderous laughter suddenly boomed. The void shattered and several figures as thin as skeletons walked out. The one in the lead was the skinniest, and he was dressed in yellow robes. His eyes were as sharp as lightning and a majestic three layered crown floated above him, devouring the source origin from the surroundings. This was Zhu Zhongming, the current leader of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu. "Haha! The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu has followed the plan as well. We've shifted our mountains to the designated area."

The resonant cry of a phoenix rang out. Several stars turned in the sky as figures strode out of the void. The one leading the pack was dressed in starry robes, his white hair hanging loosely. In his hand was a white ruler. It was none other than the leader of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, Zhao Huaijin. "The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao is also here!"

The four Heavenly Emperor powers of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent had appeared. Qi Huang respectfully clasped his hands towards the group. "Thank you for following the instructions, everyone."

He had requested for them to move their headquarters here so that they could utilize their bloodline protection formations to bolster the defensive lines. However, such actions would undoubtedly harm the Heavenly Emperor powers' foundations. If their formations were destroyed, everything they had accumulated over thousands of years would be ruined as well. Even so, they had chosen to follow Qi Huang's plan, as the decisive battle was happening on their home continent.

If their federation collapsed and the Shadow World was victorious, the entire continent would be corrupted and it would turn into a land of death. At that point in time, whatever foundation they had remaining would be useless and meaningless. Thus, not only had the Heavenly Emperor powers chosen to fight to the death, the other peak powers were also giving their all to add everything they could to the defensive lines.

The four leaders hurriedly responded respectfully upon seeing Qi Huang's polite greeting. Li Tianji replied with admiration, "We can only do our best. If we wish to stop the Shadow World's offensive and save the world, we will require your leadership, Federation Chief Qi Huang."

Qi Huang couldn't help but smile. "Lineage Chief Tianji, you think too highly of me. If I had the power to change the world, would I be worrying about this? If you want to talk about someone who can, then you should place your hopes on that fellow from your family. If he can succeed, the pressure on the divine continents will be greatly alleviated."

Li Tianji asked in surprise, "Are you referring to Li Luo? I haven't heard from him in a while."

Qi Huang's smile receded slightly as he replied with a complicated expression, "He's in seclusion within Golden Dragon Mountain, attempting to break into the Ninth Transcendent Duke Stage."

Those words immediately caused everyone present to be utterly shocked, especially Qin Yi, who pursed her red lips. The image of the handsome young man flashed through her mind. It had been years since they had met, and he had already reached such a step? If he truly became a Ninth-grade Transcendent, wouldn't he be the strongest expert in the divine continents? He would greatly negate the disadvantages that the divine continents had in this battle.

"Can Little Luo succeed?" Li Qingpeng asked. Li Luo's older uncle had reached the King Stage and had always stuck closely behind Li Jiluo, leaving the latter quite upset.

Qi Huang fell silent, pondering over how to respond before answering, "I honestly don't know."

Perhaps no one else in the world knew the sheer difficulty of this task better than Qi Huang. Li Luo had the Absolute Resonance Seed, five resonant palaces, and ten resonances all at the upper ninth-grade. With such a robust foundation, he indeed had all of the tools required to attempt this breakthrough. Even so, success was not guaranteed.

Suddenly, a heroic voice boomed and a wave of source origin swept across the heavens and earth. The void shattered and countless figures pierced through the air. "Haha! Qi Huang, the Academic Federation has also come to join the fray!"

The one leading them exuded a noble aura and towered over the rest. It was a Supreme Triple Crowned King. He was the Heavenly Origin Ancient College's principal, Wang Xuanjin. Behind him was the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College's Ling Xuan and the Mythical Spirit Ancient College's Xiao Lingzhu. They were all peak Triple Crowned Kings. Following them were the Academic Federation's Kings. They had brought all of their biggest guns to this fight.

The void collapsed again as the roar of a Heavenly Dragon reverberated through the air. "The Dragon Race and the rest of the beasts are here to fight!"

Hundreds of thousands of bestial roars filled the air as the sharp and overbearing voice of a female spread throughout the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. A tall and well-proportioned lady, fully clad in golden armor, strode out. The Heavenly Dragon aura emanating from her like a vast sea filled the air. Zhen Linshuang had arrived. Her beautiful features were filled with utmost pride as her eyes swept the area, searching for a particular individual. Behind her, the countless Beast Kings bellowed as they rushed forward with great ferocity.

What surprised everyone was a golden bird among the beasts. As it flapped its wings and soared through the air, the energy fluctuations it emitted were no weaker than Zhen Linshuang's, causing the Kings to look at this figure in awe. It was a Golden Winged Peng who had reached the Supreme Triple Crowned King Stage! Wherever it flew, the void was split apart. Just a casual flap of its wings could move it tens of thousands of miles.

When Qi Huang had mentioned that the divine continents had five Supreme Triple Crowned Kings, this ancient Golden Winged Peng was one of them. That said, there was a feud between Zhen Linshuang and the Golden Winged Peng. It was so severe the two didn't even deign to look at each other. This was because the Dragon Race and the Golden Winged Peng Race hated each other deeply.

Normally, they would engage in a battle to the death upon meeting each other. They were only willing to set aside their differences and fight together because the divine continents were at stake.

When the mighty reinforcements arrived, the experts on the Heavenly Star Plains became excited and let out resounding cheers. Qi Huang smiled and cupped his fist. "I apologize for the long wait!"

Then he looked in another other direction as he realized that the worldly natural energy around him was getting more and more agitated. Great fluctuations of energy were rushing towards him at full speed. All of the forces of the divine continents were approaching as quickly as they could.

The void rumbled above the Heavenly Star Plains endlessly, and gigantic rifts opened up in the sky like humongous portals. As the rifts emerged, roars that boomed like thunder echoed out.

"The Thunderflame Divine Continent has come to fight!"

"The Azuresea Divine Continent has come to fight!"

"The Endless Gale Divine Continent has come to fight!"

"The Whitespirit Divine Continent has come to fight!"

"The Extreme Night Divine Continent has come to fight!"

"The Central Core Divine Continent has come to fight!"

"The Mythical Spirit Divine Continent has come to fight!"

"The Divine Sun Divine Continent has come to fight!"

Each heaven-shaking roar was accompanied by a grand army emitting vast source origin fluctuations. This was all of the power of the divine continents.

When the final portal opened up, a beautiful figure with twelve wings of light and the Holy Phoenix Parasol in hand strode out. The light source origin she emitted seemed even more sacred than Qi Huang's, instantly attracting the attention of all the powerhouses. Before everyone's surprised eyes, this goddess-like woman spoke with a calm and fearless voice.

"The East Divine Continent has come to fight!"

These words echoed through every corner of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. At this moment, all of the living creatures looked towards the Heavenly Star Plains with excitement. This was the magnificent army of the living! They had come to fight!
