Chapter 3312: Mad Revenge
The light erupting from the Divine Communication Temple illuminated the sky of the entire Paradise Realm in five-colored radiance, drawing the attention of the entire realm.
The deities of the various divine temples sensed an unprecedented great terror and temporarily ceased their attacks on Shangqiu. The divine patterns within the realm-protecting divine formation transformed into a storm, converging toward the Divine Communication Temple, unleashing a sky-covering destructive force.
Judgment Divine Light, Grand Void Purple Xiao Divine Thunder, Ten Types of Heavenly Fire...
Each of these powers could instantly reduce a Great God to ashes.
They no longer cared whether they would harm the living beings of various clans in the nearby regions, wanting only to destroy the Divine Communication Temple immediately and extinguish the hidden danger.
However, these powers left behind by formation divine masters, divine kings, and divine venerables within the realm-protecting divine formation were blocked by the Starry Sky Chessboard above the Divine Communication Temple.
"Clatter, clatter!"
The divine princess Shenba, covered in chains, slowly rose into the air on the Transformation Dao Platform.
The Divine Communication Temple also lifted off the ground.
Chi Xingtian returned to the temple, looking at Shenba's cold and fierce expression, filled with worry. He advised, "We must leave immediately. We can seek revenge another time."
Chi Xingtian knew well that relying on just the few of them, they could not contend with the deities of the entire Paradise Realm.
Even with the Divine Communication Temple, they could not oppose the various divine temples of Paradise Realm.
Moreover, deities from all over the Heavenly Court were rushing over.
Chi Xingtian could understand Shenba's feelings—self-blame, resentment, boundless anger, and a desire to annihilate the entire Paradise Realm. But she could not, because of her personal emotions, implicate Zhang Ruochen and the others who had risked their lives to rescue them.
"It was not easy for us to escape today. Someone risked their life to achieve this result. Quickly control your killing intent and use the temple's power to break through the realm-protecting divine formation and take us out of Paradise Realm."
Chi Xingtian flew into the air but was blocked by Shenba's spiritual power field.
"The Boundless Northern Expedition is the perfect opportunity to destroy Paradise Realm. If I do not avenge this, how can I face the deities of Kunlun Realm who died because of me?"
Shenba's voice was cold, her obsession heavy.
Then, the Divine Communication Temple, which had risen into the air, plummeted rapidly, crashing toward the imperial capital of the Great Shang Divine Dynasty.
Even if it were not a temple, but a planet of the same size striking the ground, it would turn an extremely vast territory into a dead zone.
The imperial capital of the Great Shang Divine Dynasty stretched for a thousand miles, prosperous and flourishing, with countless cultivators practicing within the city.
A heavy aura of doom descended, making every cultivator in the city feel suffocated, their chests about to explode.
Above the capital, countless formations activated, beams of light shooting up, and the spiritual energy, saintly energy, and divine energy of heaven and earth continuously converged into the city.
The divine veins and saintly veins underground seemed to come alive, releasing saintly light and divine radiance.
"Boom!"
Countless formations above the city shattered.
The entire capital sank dozens of zhang into the ground. Although the city-protecting divine formation was not completely broken, more than half of the city's inhabitants were dead or injured. The streets turned into rivers of blood, and everywhere one looked was ruins.
Dust rolled, thick smoke rose.
On this continent where the Great Shang Divine Dynasty, the Blood Sea Hidden Heaven Divine Temple, and the Dwarf Clan were located, many terrifying earth fissures appeared.
Centered on the capital of the Great Shang Divine Dynasty, a territory of hundreds of thousands of miles became barren, with magma erupting from mountains and countless living beings turning directly into dust.
This was only because the world structure of Paradise Realm was stable, reinforced by divine patterns left by countless deities throughout history. Otherwise, the destructive force would have spread even further.
Countless deities of Paradise Realm fell silent, heaven and earth still.
As a dominant world, when had Paradise Realm ever suffered such a great calamity?
Even during the most intense battles between the Heavenly Court and Hell in the past hundred thousand years, nothing like this had happened.
"Stop killing. We need to go!" Chi Xingtian urged again.
It was not that he did not want revenge. In fact, he cultivated the demonic path and hated Paradise Realm no less than Shenba. But instinctively, he felt that if Shenba continued this slaughter, something terrible would happen.
Paradise Realm was a dominant world, one that had produced an Ancestor.
Earlier, they had been able to contend with Paradise Realm's realm-protecting divine formation using the Divine Communication Temple only because Shangqiu and the Radiant Divine Temple had experienced upheavals, the formation's foundation had not been activated, and the formation spirit had not awakened.
"Back then, Paradise Realm acted unjustly toward Kunlun Realm for the position of the dominant world of the Western Universe. How despicable were their deeds? Because of them, countless beings of Kunlun Realm died horribly. After a hundred thousand years, it is time they paid the price!"
Shenba did not heed Chi Xingtian's advice. She controlled the Divine Communication Temple and flew toward the sacred land of the Blood Sea Hidden Heaven Divine Temple.
She intended to continue the slaughter.
Under the guidance of Chi Xingtian and Xiu Chen Heavenly God, Zhuque Huowu, Moon God, and Wu Yue successively flew into the Divine Communication Temple.
Seeing Moon God, Chi Xingtian sighed, "Try to persuade her. The self-blame and grief in her heart have turned into obsession. If she continues like this, I fear she will go mad herself."
"It's fine. Paradise Realm has been too arrogant these years. It's time for someone to teach them a lesson," Moon God said.
"What... what kind of talk is that? I asked you to persuade her..."
Chi Xingtian carefully examined Moon God, then looked at Wu Yue not far away, feeling something was off.
...
The shocking divine battle erupting in Paradise Realm spread to the various realms of the Heavenly Court and the major forces of Hell at speeds thousands or tens of thousands of times faster than light, through repeated spatial transmissions.
This upheaval was even more shocking than the internal chaos in Fengdu Ghost City.
The moment Xuanyuan Lian received the transmission divine talisman, he had already formed a judgment.
Zhuang Tai'a looked worried and said, "Jia Tianxia self-destructed his divine source in the Divine Communication Temple, and the Radiant Divine Temple and Shangqiu were also attacked. To strike directly at a dominant world, the Quantity Organization's scheme this time is truly terrifying."
"Is it just the Quantity Organization?"
Xuanyuan Lian shook his head. "How could the Quantity Organization alone cause such a commotion? When Feng Yan sent me the message, I should have realized that Zhang Ruochen had already gone to Paradise Realm. Sigh, I should have gone myself."
Zhuang Tai'a said, "The latest news is that Zhang Ruochen's cultivation is now extraordinary. He can cross a stretch of starry sky and injure the Grand Void peak-level Yanyang Heavenly Lord, displaying a posture of challenging for the number one under heaven. If he went to Paradise Realm, he is indeed a formidable opponent for Ke Yangshan."
Xuanyuan Lian's gaze deepened as he murmured, "Ke Yangshan..."
Then he shook his head and asked, "What is Bian Zhuang War God's stance on this?"
"The War God has been recuperating. Given the current situation on the second starry sky defense line, the War God probably cannot go to Paradise Realm." Zhuang Tai'a continued, "The Hell army likely already knows about the changes in Paradise Realm and is stirring restlessly. A new wave of attacks may come soon."
Xuanyuan Lian wanted to rush to Paradise Realm immediately. Whether Zhang Ruochen, Chi Xingtian, and Shenba were slaughtering wildly there, or Paradise Realm killed them, it would be very detrimental to the Heavenly Court.
But now he could not extricate himself. He was anxious but helpless.
He could only hope that both sides would not be too radical and let things spiral out of control.
Xuanyuan Lian hated the Quantity Organization to the extreme, believing they had deliberately provoked this, intending to intensify conflicts, incite turmoil, and create greater hatred. He had always wanted to resolve the enmity between Kunlun Realm and Paradise Realm in a relatively gentle manner.
...
Xue Jue War God, stationed in the Undying Blood Clan camp, received the news of the Paradise Realm upheaval at the first moment.
Cui Xi was very puzzled and said, "Such a big event, why didn't they tell us? Do they not want the Undying Blood Clan to participate?"
He believed that such a major change in Paradise Realm must have been an operation by Hell. Moreover, it must have involved multiple major clans, with the Destiny Temple, Darkness Temple, Yama Clan, and Fengdu Ghost City plotting.
"If it were an operation by the various clans of Hell, how could it be kept secret? Attacking Paradise Realm is not like attacking another major world. Without the Undying Blood Clan's participation, can they swallow it?" Huang Bahu said.
Another ancient god analyzed, "Could it be internal strife in Paradise Realm? Xuan Yi could not possibly give up the Divine Communication Temple; he would definitely act. And Jia Tianxia's self-destruction of his divine source undoubtedly indicates the Quantity Organization's involvement."
Cui Xi said, "The Quantity Organization has already suffered severe losses in the two battles of Fengdu Ghost City and Santu River. How could they have the strength to challenge Paradise Realm alone? Even if an egg hits a stone, it wouldn't go 'bang' like this."
Just then, another transmission divine talisman flew in.
After reading the content on the talisman, Cui Xi was so shocked he could hardly speak. "The Divine Communication Temple has awakened, erupting with five-colored divine light, destroying the capital of the Great Shang Divine Dynasty and is wreaking havoc everywhere. Moreover, specific news has come that those who broke into Paradise Realm actually include..."
"Bang!"
Before Cui Xi could finish, Xue Jue War God slammed his palm on the table, laughing heartily. "Satisfying, so satisfying! No matter who is attacking Paradise Realm, the Undying Blood Clan will definitely lend a hand!"
"Cui Xi, go invite Hun Qi, Yi Xuan Beishi, Yan Ju, Mi Tian War God, and the others. I want to discuss with them how to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a divine tide against the starry sky defense line."
"Also, issue my order as Great Clan Chief: the Undying Blood Clan's cultivators on Santu River are to launch an attack on the river branch where Paradise Realm is located."
Cui Xi was unsure if Xue Jue War God had used his divine thought to see the rest of the transmission talisman's content, so he reminded him, "Great Clan Chief, Paradise Realm is separated from us by the boundless star sea. Even if the transmission talisman is sent through wormholes again and again, the news must have been delayed for a long time. The divine battle in Paradise Realm may have already ended."
