Chapter 1777: Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation

"The gap in the Realm Wall..." Li Luo raised his head as his gaze pierced through the Spiritual Resonance Cave, towards the depths of the void.

The gap there was like a bottomless fissure, writhing like a venomous dragon capable of destroying the world, giving off a horrifying aura. With four Authorities, his perception was far beyond what it used to be. Thus, he was capable of seeing the dark and gloomy world behind the Realm Wall with ease. Vast devilish figures were gathering there, their terrifying gazes filled with negative emotions, greedily starting at the divine continents. The Grand Devil Kings were already preparing to descend from the gap.

"Heavenly Emperor Jiang, what is your plan? How can we repair the gap?" asked Li Taixuan.

This issue was the source of the Origin Reversion War. Otherwise, the divine continents' Heavenly Emperors could have continued to hide behind the territorial advantages they had in the Nobles' Battlefield and prevent any further incursions, buying even more time for the divine continents. So long as the gap was fixed, the danger posed to the divine continents would be greatly alleviated.

"During the Ten Years of Heavenly Fate, we started working on a solution to end the stalemate and have managed to come up with some ideas," said Heavenly Emperor Jiang, his expression thoughtful. "As we have far fewer peak experts on our side than the Shadow World, we will definitely lose if we let all of the seventy-two Grand Devil Kings descend."

Li Luo nodded, expressing his agreement. Even with the Ten Years of Heavenly Fate and its resolution, the number of new Heavenly Emperors couldn't bridge the colossal gap. With the aid of his lifedeath resonance, Li Luo could allow Yan Changsheng and Su Ying to leave the Spiritual Resonance Cave, and perhaps resurrect Wang Taixi.

Adding on to that was the slumbering Pill Saint within Bai Mengmeng's body. The two now had a symbiotic relationship, and it was possible that Li Luo's lifedeath resonance could also revive her.

Adding all four members of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect in the equation, the divine continents' overall strength was still far below the Shadow World's. This was something no one could deny. If they engaged in a full-scale battle, the end result would likely be the fall of the divine continents' Heavenly Emperors.

"We wish to use the Ancient Covenant to combine all of the Heavenly Emperors' powers to form an unprecedented suppressive formation. It will be named the Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation," said Heavenly Emperor Jiang.

He stretched his hand out, and the void before him rippled. Boundless worldly natural energy condensed in his palm and then transformed into a single piece of yellowed paper. The paper was covered in countless lines of ancient text, releasing an oppressive aura that even Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperors felt wary of. That object was a supreme artifact forged by the countless Heavenly Emperors of a past era who had sworn blood oaths to protect the continents: the Ancient Covenant.

It was thanks to this treasure that the Heavenly Emperors had managed to guard the divine continents for so many years despite their inferior strength, preventing the Shadow World's tentacles from extending further.

Even Yan Changsheng and Su Ying, individuals who had witnessed the most glorious era of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect, were moved upon seeing the ancient treasure. They could sense that the Ancient Covenant contained the auras of countless Heavenly Emperors, many of whom had left their marks on it. Some of the auras felt dim and weak, indicating that they had already fallen. Even so, the Ancient Covenant had been augmented by them, endowing it with never-ending power.

Yan Changsheng and Su Ying sighed in amazement. They could only imagine how helpless the divine continents' living beings had felt for the tens of thousands of years after the Sacred Void Resonance Sect vanished. The fortunate thing was that the Shadow World had also been crippled the Sacred Void Resonance Sect, forcing them into seclusion and recuperation.

However, the Shadow World's foundation was much more robust, and many Grand Devil Kings had been produced throughout the ages, constantly launching probing attacks on the divine continents. During a moment of crisis, the only remaining Heavenly Emperor of the divine continents had steeled his heart, choosing to sacrifice his Authorities to craft this divine artifact, the Ancient Covenant.

Originally, the Ancient Covenant wasn't as powerful as it was now. But as time passed and more and more Heavenly Emperors ascended and left their marks on it, the artifact continued to grow in power. It was now the ultimate divine artifact, protecting the living creatures of the divine continents for tens of thousands of years.

Heavenly Emperors were pinnacle experts, basically deities capable of looking down on the world with utmost dominance. Once they used their Authority to leave a mark on the Ancient Covenant, a constraint would be imposed on them. They would be unable to violate the rules of Ancient Covenant and had to pay a price as well. This was what caused Yan Changsheng and Su Ying to feel admiration.

After all, Heavenly Emperors would never deign to accept such a constraint, even in the era of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect. Of course, this was probably because it wasn't necessary back then, as they had the Sect Master. She could single-handedly prop up the heavens, her existence striking fear into the hearts of the denizens of the Shadow World, being an immense weight on their minds.

Holding up the Ancient Covenant, Heavenly Emperor Jiang explained, "The Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation will turn the ten divine continents into ten Devil Trapping Battlefields. At the same time, it will seal the crack on the Realm Wall and limit the descent of the Grand Devil Kings. Even so, the number of Grand Devil Kings capable of descending will far surpass the number of Heavenly Emperors we have available, so it will still be a vicious and brutal battle.

"However, as long as we can maintain the Devil Trapping Formation, we will eventually repair the crack. After which, the Ancient Covenant can unleash its supreme might, forcibly evicting the Grand Devil Kings that made it through. When the Realm Wall has been restored and the Grand Devil Kings sent retreating, the Origin Reversion War can be considered over."

He had revealed their plan to defeat the Shadow World in full detail. The new Heavenly Emperors nodded in agreement upon hearing the plan. If they could restrict the number of descending Grand Devil Kings, that would be the best-case scenario for them. Otherwise, they would be in a thorny situation if all of them came at the same time.

However, Li Luo had one concern in mind. He asked, "What about the Origin Reversion Institute?"

Those words made the Heavenly Emperors' expressions grow solemn. This was because they knew that the black coffin the Origin Reversion Institute possessed was sealing the extinction resonance, which had been corrupted by the Origin of Absolute Corruption.

It was a Quasi Tenth-grade resonance! This was such a legendary realm that ordinary Heavenly Emperors could never hope to attain it. Once the black coffin was unsealed, not even Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperors would be a match for the thing inside it.

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

At this point, Yan Changsheng spoke up. "If the black coffin was personally created by the Sect Master, the Origin Reversion Institute will not have an easy time opening it."

His words were full of confidence, as well as trust for the Sect Master. Those words didn't cause the Heavenly Emperors present to relax in the slightest, however. The Origin Reversion Institute had plotted for countless years and had even managed to seize the withering glory resonance from their hands. As a result, they had to make plans for a worst-case scenario. If the corrupted Quasi Tenth-grade Extinction resonance were to appear, how would the divine continents resist?

Heavenly Emperor Jiang fell silent before his gaze turned towards the calm and exquisite Jiang Qing'e, who had remained quiet the whole time next to Li Luo.

"If such a time comes to pass... perhaps the divine continents can only rely on Her Excellency the Radiant Goddess."
