Yang Tie digested the news that Zhu Yi sent over and he creased his brows, “Master, are the Great Void Sect and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror still in the Black Sea?”

Zhu Yi replied slowly, “Yes, they are.”

Yang Tie, Ying Luozha, Zhao Huan and the rest were all silent.

Only the Earth Dragon King and Azure Sky Dragon King left the Black Sea. The more powerful Origins Dragon King, Shen Dragon King that just reached the Vipralopa Stage as well as the Phoenix Grand Sage who went into the Black Sea earlier, did not come.

The Great Void Sect was still stuck in the Black Sea and the Dragon tribe unleashed battles on two fronts. The deeper meaning behind this decision had to be analyzed.

This did not mean that the Great Void Sect was losing in the Black Sea. If they were winning, the Dragon tribe would not divide their forces but focus all of them to defeat the Great Void Sect and Supreme Heavenly Mirror in the Black Sea.

But the situation was not very positive either. The most probable situation right now was that the Great Void Sect and Supreme Heavenly Mirror were taking a defensive stance in the Black Sea. All the Great Void Sect cultivators shrank their defensive line and relied on the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to mount an impenetrable defense.

Under such a condition, the Dragon tribe had to rely on the Origins Dragon King, who had recovered to his peak state, to repress the incomplete Supreme Heavenly Mirror. He could take his time to overcome this persistent opponent who was in a disadvantage.

It’s only when he fully penetrated the defense of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror could the rest of the powerful dragons make a move.

Before this, it was going to be a long period of seesaw battle and a lot of energy was going to be depleted. The Earth Dragon King and the rest could only wait slowly. There was no room for impatience.

But in this way, the dragons could divide themselves up and put their attention at two different battlefields in this War of the Two Worlds.

Besides dealing with the Great Void Sect that attacked the Black Sea, the Phoenix Grand Sage wouldn’t intervene in any other battles. Before the Origins Dragon King fully recovered, it was a doubt whether she would continue to participate in the battle.

Based on the current situation, it was likely that the Phoenix Grand Sage would remain in the Black Sea to keep a lookout for the dragons.

The Yellow Plains Dragon King also managed to successfully overcome the last Cardinal Tribulations and reached the Vipralopa Stage. He became an Immemorial Celestial Dragon and further boosted the strength of the Dragon tribe.

With the Phoenix Grand Sage and Shen Dragon King defending the Black Sea and holding the fort along with the Origins Dragon King, they were able to deal with the Great Void Sect once they overcame the defense of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

At this point, the Earth Dragon King and Azure Sky Dragon King couldn’t hold it any longer. They left the Black Sea and went straight for Shi Yu and the Immortal Dragon City.

After all, the Dragon tribe thought that it was a good opportunity for them to exploit as the Immortal Dragon City left the Divine Lands for the Barren Expanses just like how the Supreme Heavenly Mirror left Mount Baiyun for the Black Sea.

Shi Yu and the Immortal Dragon City held the fort at Xiling City. As they gathered the royal aura of the Great Qin territories, they couldn’t be underestimated too.

At the same time, the assault by the dragons on Xiling City in the Divine Lands attracted reinforcements from other human cultivators.

To the dragons, the Immortal Dragon City represented a blood feud and humiliation for them. They would naturally take every opportunity to get rid of it quickly.

Shi Yu felt extremely gloomy now. To guard against the Hades tribe, he instructed a retreat. But he didn’t expect that the dragons came instead of the Hades tribe.

The Earth Dragon King had always been the second most powerful figure among the dragons after reaching the Vipralopa Stage for many years. Whereas the Azure Sky Dragon King was only one step away from fully completing the Cardinal Tribulations. Although he was slower than the Yellow Plains Dragon King and Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage by one step, he was still a demon that was capable of reaching the Vipralopa Stage anytime. Compared to other demons in the Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage, he was much more powerful.

For two such powerful dragon tribe figures to team up together to deal with the Great Qin Empire, Shi Yu was naturally under a lot of pressure.

Ultimately, no one would have expected that the situation in the Black Sea would have faced with such a change although there was balance in power between both sides originally.

“Did a Hades demon enter the Black Sea to aid the Dragon tribe?” Ying Luozha, Zhao Huan and the rest might possess cultivations that were still low, but they still knew quite a bit after the training imparted to them by Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan.

After hearing Sun Xue’er’s doubts, Ying Luozha shook his head, “No, it’s easier to call up an evil spirit than to allay it. The Dragon tribe might team up with the Hades tribe, but they won’t do so in the midst of a conflict with the Great Void Sect and let them into the Black Sea.”

Zhao Huan said, “The key point is that the Origins Dragon King has healed from the Weakened Stage of the Second Tribulation of Destiny. In this way, it’s much easier for him to summon the powers of the Black Sea.”

Ying Luozha groaned, “No, there must be some other reason. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be in such a dire state even though the Supreme Heavenly Mirror is not complete yet.”

Although they treated the Great Void Sect as an eyesore, Ying Luozha and the rest wouldn’t dare to underestimate this Holy Ground in the Divine Lands that had not fallen for many years.

“Either the Great Void Sect committed a fatal flaw themselves, or something unexpected has occurred that has led to this sudden change.” Ying Luozha bared his teeth and his snow-white teeth and tanned skin greatly contrasted each other, “The Great Void Sect won’t conserve at this point and push the problems for us and the Great Qin Empire to deal with. According to Grandmaster’s and Master’s deductions, the Hades tribe is likely to attack the Great Void Sect’s Mount Baiyun with the current situation.”

“Trying to convince the Dragon tribe to cease the battle and allow them to return to Mount Baiyun should be their best choice.” Yang Tie commented, “If both parties are equally good, the Dragon tribe may not be receptive to the Hades’ dominance while they battled it out with the Great Void Sect in the Black Sea. If the Great Void requests to cease the battle, the dragons may even agree. In this way, the Great Void Sect can return to Mount Baiyun to deal with the Hades tribe while the dragons can regain their freedom in place of the Hades tribe and even possess the initiative for the following battles.”

“Although the dragons are normally very proud, they may not be so stubborn when dealing with the Hades tribe that once repressed them. That’s even though the Hades Emperor has already perished.”

Zhao Huan took in a deep breath, “But if something happens to the Great Void Sect here and the situation takes a drastic turn, the dragons may not be willing to call for a ceasefire. That’s because they can completely defeat the Great Void Sect. Even if they have to pay a price, it’s still within what they can accept. The benefits they will reap are not light either.”

Ever since the Supreme Heavenly Mirror suppress the demons during the Antiquity Age, 3 ages had passed. Its might was very reputable and its threat was deeply carved into the spirits and souls of all the demon tribes.

If the demons had a chance to get rid of it, no matter whether it was the dragon tribe, Hades tribe, Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, Heavenly Charms Grand Sage or other demon sages, they were willing to put down their conflicts and work together to destroy the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

To a certain extent, the Dragon tribe was not the one restraining the Great Void Sect. Rather, it had become a situation where the other demon tribes helped the Dragon tribe to restrain the Divine Lands and other powerful human cultivators.

Lin Feng and the rest had no choice but to react too. That’s because the demon tribe that just set foot into the Divine Lands was the Hades tribe.

It was the Hades tribe that could turn the entire Divine Lands into a plot of barren land if they wanted to.

Not long ago, the humans were on the upper hand. But now, the initiative had been lost to the demons.

The Earth Dragon King’s and Azure Sky Dragon King’s attack of Shi Yu and the Immortal Dragon City was only just the beginning!

Ying Luozha’s expression turned black and he twisted his mouth, “What has happened in the Black Sea? Why did the Great Void Sect collapse just like that?”

The same doubt also bugged Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan. As the both of them set foot on the Higan Golden Bridge, they turned into golden lights that touched the Heavens. Instantaneously, they traversed through boundless void space towards the direction of Mount Guxing.

Zhu Yi said gradually, “The situation in the Black Sea should have appeared with unexpected changes. Otherwise, there shouldn’t have been such a drastic turn in events.”

Yue Hongyan stood beside him and nodded her head, “It’s a pity that it’s very difficult to get any news from the Black Sea and we can’t obtain anything accurate. Whatever we know now was also obtained from the Earth Dragon King, Azure Sky Dragon King and the rest. We are unaware of the detailed situation, but it’s definitely the case that things are not positive over at the Great Void Sect’s side.”

She creased her crimson brows, which appeared like sharp swords that were dripping blood, “The Origins Dragon King recovered much sooner from the Weakened Stage than expected. Although it’s unexpected and the reason is unknown, I don’t believe that the Great Void Sect is unprepared for it at all. They must have considered all kinds of situation beforehand, no matter how bad it can get.”

“If it’s only the Origins Dragon King that has recovered to his peak state and the Yellow Plains Dragon King that has reached the Vipralopa Stage, it shouldn’t be the case that the Great Void Sect would be at such a loss, which has led to a sudden turn of events. They are even on the verge of collapsing.”

“Even outside of the Divine Lands, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror is the top treasure in the Grand Celestial World. Even if it’s incomplete, it can’t be underestimated. I once heard Master mentioned that the Tai Yi Holy Man is not one to be underestimated even if he’s heavily injured.”

Yue Hongyan’s pupils seemed to flash with a flame and she shook her head slightly, “Even if the Hades tribe didn’t descend in the Greater World, the sudden turn of events in the Black Sea is also sufficient to wipe out any advantage that us humans have. And now that both things have happened at the same time, the situation has been reversed.”

Zhu Yi looked into the distance and remained calm, “This is the War of the Two Worlds. As the powers from both sides clash with one another, a minor detail can affect the overall situation.”

He asked, “Oh yes, where’s little junior brother and little junior sister?”

Shi Tianhao had already entered the Barren Expanses early on. Luo Qingwu and the rest also followed him. As they travelled across the Barren Expanses, they were even deeper than both Shi Yu, Zhu Yi and the others.

However, they were about to retreat after they heard Lin Feng’s warning. And after they knew about some powerful individuals that left the Black Sea to attack the Great Qin Empire, Shi Tianhao and the others quickly rushed to Mount Guxing.

Yue Hongyan crushed a Voice-Projecting Crystal and her supernatural awareness communicated through it. However, she revealed a stunned look on her face suddenly, “….Oh?”

Zhu Yi turned to look at her, “What’s wrong?”

Yue Hongyan’s expression turned dismal, “I’ve contacted Tianhao and the others. But I’m hearing intermittent sounds, as if there’s some power interrupting.”

“Although Tianhao and the others are not in danger now, it will take some time for them to flee from some mystery domain that they are in.”

Zhu Yi was a little surprised, “Someone set up an ambush?”

Yue Hongyan shook her head, “According to Tianhao, there’s no ambush. Rather, it’s a natural formation in the Heavens and Earth. However, it’s normally concealed and not revealed. Tianhao was rushing and shook void space that triggered the appearance of that mystery domain.”

The both of them looked at each other and shook their heads. They felt a sense of dejection at this point.
