MIllion Starlight Palace…

After the Zu Wei incident, Yun Xiao had disappeared for a time, clearly due to the secret orders of the Three Divas.

The spectators present only then realized the significance of having elders in the Grand Assembly Arena.

In the past, elders scoffed at entering, fearing mockery.

But this time, the success or failure of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm was tied to their future in the Heavenly Deity Alliance. The elders indeed needed to step in.

Not to interfere directly, but to serve as a calming presence for the geniuses at crucial moments.

Of course, without elders from the Dragon Devil Clan stepping in, the Southern Divine Dragon Realm was managing fine so far. The five Young Dragon Lords were performing excellently, earning high praise from their elders.

With the Alliance Army's 3,000 geniuses already assembled for the campaign, and the Extreme Yin Star seemingly prepared for a fierce battle, the vast Million Starlight Palace fell into unprecedented silence.

This was the calm before the storm!

Many looked toward the Southern Divine Dragon Realm’s strongmen, noticing the elders from Elysian Immortal Palace, Heavenly Devil Divine Altar, Grieving Spirit Valley, and Thunderflame God Star nearby.

Then, when they glanced over to the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm, where only the lone Ice Valkyrie Queen stood... their expressions turned strange.

“That celestial slave is incredible. Without him, the Young Dragon Lords of the Southern Divine Dragon Realm wouldn’t unleash such terrifying power.”

“You could say that within the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, almost all geniuses under the age of 50 have concentrated their power into this Alliance Army.”

“To provoke the wrath of all geniuses on the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, this celestial slave truly deserves a place in history.”

Most people did not deny Yun Xiao’s remarkable achievements.

So far, he had created miracles beyond belief.

But he had also awakened his opponents' greatest potential.

A 3,000-strong Alliance Army had been assembled. Four Heavenly Deity Alliance sects were also directly with the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, creating a force that could swallow the world and the Stellar River!

“Miracles have happened not only once, but twice.”

“Can there be a third time?”

“Who knows? The gap in manpower this time is huge. If he really pulls it off a third time, I will literally eat shit."

As the Alliance Army advanced, discussions within the Million Starlight Palace began to spread, sparking intense debates.

“Loophole? What do you mean loophole? Do you think that eunuch dog has the manhood to

exploit

a loophole?"

“Well, you know, those without can only make do. Haha!!”

Those not involved even laughed together.

“To be honest, the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm is targeted by the whole world. The pitiable must have something detestable.”

“They can’t clear their name. The most disgusting are those kinds of women! It’s the ones like Zu Wei and the Mu brothers—over 1,000 who have surrendered their Personal Pledges—who are truly pitiable. Standing against the Heavenly Deity Stellar River for no reason.” �

“The Ancestral Land and Nine Yin Soul Sea were supposed to be neutral, right? But with that celestial slave so ruthless, and the Three Divas not doing anything, they’re truly brainless. I bet Empyrean Emperor Mu and the Great Dream Lord are really furious. Once the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects concludes, these lousy women will finally learn what death means.”

"Shoving neutral parties onto the opponents is pure, pure brainless behavior. Right now, the three major powers of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River are the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, Ancestral Land, and Elysian Immortal Palace. If the three of them join forces to wipe out your second-rate sect expelled from the Heavenly Deity Alliance, isn't that just convenient?"

Regarding the Zu Wei incident, people had discussed it countless times. But up until that moment, they still couldn't fully understand. They were agitated and felt even more sympathy for the Ancestral Land and Nine Yin Soul Sea.

"I'll put it this way: after the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects concludes, the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm will incite public outrage and be razed to the ground by the combined forces of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, wiped out entirely. They deserve it."

"Doing some bad deeds is nothing, but being stupid, lacking insight—really, one can only blame themselves.."

Yun Xiao's actions regarding Zu Wei had largely stirred disapproval among the vast majority of neutral, morally upright warriors.

So, now in the Million Starlight Palace, everyone was clamoring against the Harmony Divine Palace.

One could imagine the immense pressure the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen, ostracized by the masses, had to bear. The insults raged like a tsunami, engulfing her.

She lowered her head, clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and waited silently without uttering a word.

At that moment, she was already nailed to the pillar of shame of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River!

In those cold, harsh gazes, the most piercing came from two sources. One was from the Ancestral Land and Nine Yin Soul Sea, and the other, naturally, came from the Dragon Devil Clan and the other four Heavenly Deity Alliance sects brimming with murderous intent!

Next to the Golden Dragon Emperor and Gong Tianjian stood the Blood Dragon Emperor, along with representatives of the other three Heavenly Deity Alliance sects, all gathering together.

The Blood Dragon Emperor was the father of Long Kun, a cold and eerie man with long hair cascading like a waterfall, a thin and narrow mouth, sharp dragon horns, and a loose robe that resembled a cloud of blood.

Their eyes fixed on the screen, watching the two battalions of the Alliance Army converging toward the Extreme Yin Star.

"There's no need to worry, gentlemen. These five Young Dragon Lords, combined with the geniuses of our four sects and 3,000-strong army, can easily handle that rag-tag bunch. No suspense here," Gong Tianjian said.

"Indeed, no suspense at all." The Blood Dragon Emperor slightly lifted his chin. "It's just that this little eunuch even brought out the Yin Sword Embryo, indicating that those three vile women have been preparing for this day for quite some time."

"The Yin Sword Embryo is indeed malicious." The Golden Dragon Emperor nodded, then turned to an elder beside him. "Most people don't understand the sword arts of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm. Many sects fell for it this time. You're responsible for exaggerating and spreading this, to further incriminate the Harmony Divine Palace."

"Yes, Dragon Emperor!" The elder nodded and took his leave.

"With this, these vile women have become absolute public enemies," Gong Tianjian sneered.

"If you don't seek death, you won't die. They had to make that celestial slave act, which gave us the perfect excuse." The Golden Dragon Emperor finished speaking, looked at the Blood Dragon Emperor, and said, "The issues inside the arena are manageable, but the preparations outside..."

"I just received word—the Heavenly Deity Stellar Formation has been sealed, and all our powerhouses are in place. Finally..." The Blood Dragon Emperor took a shallow breath and sneered, "The Dragon Ancestor has set out."

Upon hearing this, the Golden Dragon Emperor, Gong Tianjian, and the others shared knowing smiles.

"Annihilating the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm and seizing the Supreme Yin Cauldron is the only thing that can awaken the old man," the Blood Dragon Emperor said with a grin.

"Then, both inside and out, the present and the future are clear." The Golden Dragon Emperor reclined comfortably on his seat, chuckling, "Now, let’s enjoy the show, friends."

The elders of the Heavenly Deity Alliance exchanged glances and laughed together.

"Chief Gong." The Blood Dragon Emperor raised his bloodshot eyebrows and asked Gong Tianjian, "I see your disciple Zhao Canglan and your sect leader’s most talented daughter have a promising future?"

Gong Tianjian smiled softly and shook her head. "Chenchen has a very broad vision. I hope Canglan works hard and catches her eye."

"This extermination of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm is the perfect opportunity to shine. All it takes is a smile from a beauty, and there’s no problem. Canglan is indeed outstanding," the Golden Dragon Emperor replied.

"I appreciate your well wishes," Gong Tianjian responded with a smile.

𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

After smiling, her heart was filled with hope. In reality, her humble origins made her rise to her current high position, a significant breakthrough within the Elysian Immortal Palace's hierarchy.

If her personally trained disciple could become a celestial pair with Yun Lingchen, both she and her clan would gain even greater influence within the Elysian Immortal Palace!

"Canglan, it's up to you now." Gong Tianjian remained relaxed, leaning back on her seat, waiting to watch the spectacle.

The entire Million Starlight Palace was fixated on the grand war unfolding among the geniuses of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River!

Other Stellar Rivers were mere skirmishes in comparison. Only here, in the eastern district of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, was a true miniature war determining the future balance of the Stellar Rivers!

At least 80,000,000 eyes were focused here!

On the screen, Yun Xiao, who had just unleashed the Yin Sword Embryo, undeniably stood out as the most glaring focal point!

▬ι══🪦✧⚰

On the Extreme Yin Star…

Over 500 Sword Yin Embryo captives wore ghastly green faces. They had originally planned to withdraw for safety. Now, withdrawal meant certain death!

What did this truly signify? These geniuses needed to weigh their options carefully.

“My request is simple: face the enemy honorably in battle. As long as you contribute, you will not die.” Yun Xiao’s words still echoed in their ears.

The embryos within them constantly reminded them that their lives were in Yun Xiao’s hands.

This was more terrifying than offering their Personal Pledges!

“How can we possibly fight the Alliance Army?”

The 500 geniuses felt utterly hopeless, tears welling without escape. Fear of death left them agonizing over their choices.

Yet, Yun Xiao had no fear of them shirking their duties!

Fighting might not guarantee survival, but not fighting assured death. What choice was there? Anyone with a clear mind understood.

This was the terrifying power of the Yin Sword Embryo.

Across the Extreme Yin Star, over 1,000 people were engulfed in deadly silence because of this sword technique.

And at this moment, Yun Xiao turned his head to look at the 100 or so accompanying Zu Wei and Mu Zixiao.

They quickly stepped back several paces, their faces blanching with fear.

Mu Zixiao stammered, “Y-Yun Xiao, we’re willing to fight for you. We don’t need the Yin Sword Embryo.”

“Of course. You are all my brothers.” Yun Xiao smiled.

But Bai Lu, Gusu Yan, Ah Jiao, the Bloodvine Young Master, and others wore even stranger expressions.

In the hierarchy of power, Yun Xiao had deemed the 250 of them as his most favored soldiers.

After all, they were the furthest from Yun Xiao’s core, being former followers of the Young Dragon Lord.

“With this, we must fight even harder for him,” Gusu Yan sighed.

“Why?” Ah Jiao asked irritably.

“Because he respects us the most, and we have ample reason to accept his control,” Bai Lu responded.

“Anyway, let’s fight first! If we can’t win and are crushed utterly, it won’t be our fault,” the Bloodvine Young Master declared.

“Agreed!”

Their side was unified in opinion.

A thousand captives, three modes of treatment—all centered around Yun Xiao.

The pre-battle mobilization was complete.

Yun Xiao turned to Hai Qing and said, “Have you received any news from the scouts I sent?”

“We've located the positions of the enemy’s two forces,” Hai Qing replied earnestly.

A battle of super geniuses was about to erupt. She couldn’t help but feel nervous and somewhat disoriented.

Wan Ji's seven daughters never dreamed that Yun Xiao could elevate the fate of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm to such a grand scale.

“Divided into two groups, right?” Yun Xiao took the star map and examined the two locations marked by Hai Qing…
