Chapter 209: The Altered Course of History

Chapter 209: The Altered Course of History

In times of great calamity, no one can remain aloof.

With the heavens on the verge of collapse, who would choose to live in fear and cowardice?

Shaohua, now the Empress, took the initiative to lure away the most terrifying enemy. However, she was just one person, and the Sinister Race's Grand Apotheosis Ritual had already begun. No one could stop it.

The myriad worlds were plunged into darkness. Countless realms were ravaged, their skies stained red with blood, the scenes of carnage too ghastly to behold.

Even the heavens could not remain unaffected.

So many great experts were brought down, even an Immortal Emperor had fallen. How could the Sinister Race possibly back down?

On the other side of the Boundary Sea, a great bell tolled, its sound echoing through the vast expanse of time, sweeping away the gloomy, murky air. Brilliant and radiant petals drifted, tearing through the darkness, illuminating the heavens.

"You are indeed powerful, but it means nothing. The one you sought has already passed away. The newborn Empress cannot turn back, everything was fated from the start, and there is no escape!"

A supreme Dao Ancestor of the Sinister Race arrived, and there were more than just two or three. One of them spoke, his voice utterly cold, devoid of any emotion.

In terms of high-level combat strength, the Sinister Race outmatched the myriad worlds, their power far surpassing that of the others by a factor of two or three.

Fortunately, the Dao Ancestors who descended upon the heavens, aside from those killed when Shaohua was still around and those she dispatched before leaving, were exactly ten more.

This meant that, regardless of other factors, Wu Shi, Heng Ren, and Ye Fan each had to face more than three opponents!

At the Dao Ancestor level, or after achieving Quasi-Immortal Emperor status, no matter what, they all bore the title of "Emperor" and possessed some of the Immortal Emperor's indestructible qualities.

Those who reached this level were all extraordinary beings, the protagonists of their respective eras. How could any of them be significantly weaker than the others?

In such a situation, how could anyone hope to defeat enemies of a higher rank, or even one-on-one, let alone face multiple opponents?

Even the formidable trio could kill one, and perhaps even handle two, but to single-handedly defeat three equally powerful adversaries was almost impossible!

Moreover, even if one managed to fight three, there would still be another left.

However, the trio was special, and could not be judged by ordinary standards.

In the shattered Boundary Sea, a shocking bloodlight soared to the heavens, and overwhelming fist light stirred the surging waves, shaking the past and present.

"Kill!"

The already fragmented universe split further, completely disintegrating. A voice roared from the edge of the world, its sound shaking the heavens.

"Boom!!!"

In the next moment, someone screamed in horror and agony. A Dao Ancestor-level being had fallen, completely obliterated, triggering terrifying phenomena.

"Ye Celestial Emperor is invincible!"

After the Dam Realm, many Immortal Kings couldn't help but cheer.

"Wow, Ye He is so fierce, he just killed a Quasi-Immortal Emperor?!" The fat Taoist Duan De exclaimed in shock.

"He is indeed formidable, but he paid a great price, nearly being destroyed himself."

The Black Emperor dripped holy water, obtained from Little White Tiger, onto his third eye, and glimpsed a corner of the Dao Ancestor battlefield.

"As long as he's not dead, that's all that matters. Tell me, what exactly is this water? It looks like ordinary spiritual spring water, yet it allows you to see so far", Duan De asked, eyeing the Black Emperor with a curious expression.

"This is a precious treasure!" The Black Emperor glanced at the fatso, grinning. "Don't even think about it, not a chance!"

Not far away, Little White Tiger, with wide eyes, nervously poked the ground with her tail, retreating behind the others.

"Meow, I wonder if anyone will notice that I sold the water my master used to wash his hands to that black dog."

In reality, Little White Tiger was overthinking it. Who would have thought that the ever-cute and innocent Little White Tiger would do something like this?

Or perhaps, she was still as cute and innocent as ever. If people knew the water was used by her master to wash his hands, they would likely fight over it even more.

"They're here!"

At this moment, the Western Sovereign, already clad in battle armor, stood on the embankment and spoke.

Her strength was among the top tier in the heavens, and her status was incredibly high.

In the absence of Wan Qing and Di Zun, who remained in the Heavenly Court to wield the great weapons, the Immortal Kings were willing to follow her orders.

Especially after receiving the imperial blood baptism from Shaohua, her strength had further increased. Even in the Immortal King realm, few could harm her physical body.

Without a doubt, the purple battle armor she wore was personally refined by Shaohua, even enveloped in a faint imperial glow.

The Sinister Army finally arrived.

No matter how powerful Ye Fan, Heng Ren, and Wu Shi were, they were already pushing their limits just to hold back the Sinister Race's Dao Ancestors. They had no energy left to deal with the Sinister Army that followed.

At most, they could guide the battlefield to one side, hoping to destroy some of the Sinister Army with the aftershocks of their battles.

Moreover, the Sinister Dao Ancestors had a numerical advantage, and could spare some to enter the heavens, attempting to disrupt the trio.

"Go, slaughter that world, and offer blood sacrifices to the heavens!" a Sinister Dao Ancestor coldly ordered.

"Heh heh heh, your struggles are futile. The female Empress will not return. Our Final Path Ascendants are hunting her down, and she will die far away!" another one added with a sinister laugh.

"Looking for death!!"

Wu Shi, hearing this, flew into a rage. The Path of Time and the Path of Space intertwined, his speed unimaginable. In an instant, he raised the Chaos Bell and smashed it into the Sinister Dao Ancestor, shattering him.

Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the Sinister Dao Ancestor.

What did he have to say that he had to mention that person? She was his own sister.

Sure enough, Wu Shi's fury was even more ferocious than Ye Fan's. He withstood the attacks of the other two Sinister Dao Ancestors, sparing no cost, and killed the insolent one on the spot!

Heng Ren's gaze was calm, her hands unmatched. She unleashed a supreme seal, emitting a flying immortal light, shattering a Sinister Dao Ancestor into pieces, blood and bones flying everywhere.

Her attack was devoid of any fierce or fiery energy, yet it was incredibly sharp. She struck forcefully, suppressing the blood and bones, as well as the Soul Essence, of the Sinister Dao Ancestor, eliminating another enemy.

Even the usually ruthless Sinister Dao Ancestors couldn't help but draw in a deep breath of dark air, realizing they had met their match. This battle would not be easily won.

However, they were not overly worried. Even if they slipped up, the powerful beings of their race could bring them back.

The battle raged on, with bloodshed occurring from time to time. But three towering figures always stood at the forefront, holding back the surging black tide.

The trio's strength was truly formidable, each a dominant force among Dao Ancestors. Though not the supreme Dao Ancestors, they were not far behind.

At least in terms of combat power, there was no significant difference.

This was because someone had given them great assistance.

Unfortunately, the course of history had already been altered. An anomaly had inadvertently alarmed the Sinister Ancestors on The Plateau, forcing Heng Ren, Wu Shi, and Ye Fan to face this disaster much earlier than they should have.

The time they had was far too short, not enough for them to fully develop—
