Chapter 949: The True Face of the Godslayer Temple
This Reincarnation evil corpse was different from the others; it seemed to still possess some level of sentience as it disappeared into the darkness.
Chu Yuan did not pursue. The Reincarnation Realm was too bizarre; he knew that if such evil corpses as the scaled man's existed, there would be stronger ones still.
Even with his current strength, venturing too deep could potentially lead to his downfall.
"This Reincarnation Realm."
Chu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his presence majestic, "We should leave the Reincarnation Realm now; my purpose here has been fulfilled."
"Indeed, it's time to go!"
Ge Shan promptly said, "I've sensed an extraordinary presence; if we don't leave now, we might not be able to at all!"
"Are we leaving? Master, how far did you get when you were here?"
Xia Han was reluctant—she had not yet found the Founder of Ming Guang, but she also knew that they could not stay any longer.
"Retreat!"
Unless Chu Yuan went deep into the heart of the Reincarnation Realm, he would gain no advantage, so he led his troops towards the exit.
The further back they went, the more intense the battles they encountered, with many frantically retreating.
He did not hesitate, wiping out any Divine Army soldiers he encountered with ease.
"A melee in the realm of the immortal!"
On their way out, Chu Yuan encountered a large group of powerful individuals pursuing another.
"Troops from the Divine Martial Empire!"
The group being pursued panicked. Upon seeing the forces of the Divine Martial Empire, they quickly moved toward them as a large number of formidable enemies followed in hot pursuit.
"They're forces that have crumbled at the Death Sea; what happened? They're so utterly disheveled; the situation isn't looking good at all!"
Lu Qianfu recognized them from their attire and with a sudden realization, he turned his gaze towards the group pursuing them.
It went without saying that they were from the Feathered Divine Dynasty, but another batch of individuals caused him great alarm as he shouted, "Why are people from the Godslaying Hall siding with them!"
Indeed, the Godslaying Hall was jointly pursuing this retreating force along with the Feathered Divine Army.
"If you're pushing us to this point, we'll take you down with us. Martial Emperor, the Godslaying Hall has betrayed us; please join us in repelling the enemy!"
The speaker was a Triple Heaven Immortal, though he was covered in blood and his breath was weak. A large bloody hole in his back kept bleeding—it was clear somebody had ambushed him from behind, catching him off guard.
"What, the Godslaying Hall has betrayed us!"
Their minds were somewhat dazed, unable to comprehend the earth-shattering developments that had unfolded in such a short time.
"Martial Emperor!"
Those on the other side also noticed the presence of Chu Yuan and his party, their killing intent boiling over.
"Damn it, these people have ill intentions, intentionally leading the enemy to us. Talking about repelling the enemy together, it's deliberate that he called out the name of the Divine Martial Empire; he wants the Feathered Divine Army to deal with us so they can escape, such treacherous hearts!"
Bone God roared in anger.
That was indeed their plan; after leading the Feathered Divine Army here, they started escaping in another direction.
In the hit list of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, Chu Yuan was definitely marked for death; his value was far greater than theirs.
"Martial Emperor, we are in your debt. We will surely visit to express our gratitude in the future!"
Seeing that the Feathered Divine Army wasn't pursuing them, the group shouted hypocritically. If the Feathered Divine Army and the Divine Martial Empire could both be annihilated, it would be perfect to them—a powerful adversary in the cosmos would be gone.
"Seeking death!"
Chu Yuan was cold.
Thinking they could so easily use him to divert their enemy, they were much mistaken; he was not to be trifled with. Considering the situation as watching a fight from the hillside was far too simple.
"Kill them."
What this group of people never expected was that the Martial Emperor wouldn't play by the upheaval's script but instead led his troops to attack them, unwilling to suffer any loss.
"You dare!"
The group shouted angrily, "We are the allied forces; if you kill us, your Divine Martial Empire will surely face retribution."
"Then all of you die."
Chu Yuan was very indifferent. The alliance had long since collapsed, had it not? When he would later establish the Divine Dynasty, he would be surrounded by enemies. A powerful force suddenly enveloped him, and an overwhelming might lashed out to slaughter.
He killed them to seize all their resources, to strengthen his own empire, saving himself the trouble of dealing with their schemes.
This person was very strong, but he had already suffered severe injuries. Faced with the Martial Emperor's might, his struggles were futile, and he was soon slain by Chu Yuan.
The remnant forces were also completely annihilated by the Divine Martial Empire, as effortlessly as slicing through vegetables.
From afar, the Feathered Divine Army, upon seeing Chu Yuan not following convention and eradicating the allied forces—and perhaps realizing his terrifying strength and being unsure of their ability to defeat him—quickly changed direction and left.
"Even the Feathered Divine Army dares not come to fight!" Ge Shan secretly felt alarmed.
"Your Majesty, indeed a great event has occurred—the Divine Hall has rebelled, but the specific circumstances are unclear to us."
Lu Qianfu said.
"Withdraw to the outskirts of the Reincarnation Realm while clarifying the situation."
Chu Yuan gave orders methodically.
The situation was quickly clarified. The Divine Hall had indeed rebelled, but to be precise, it wasn't rebellion—they were actually the Feathered Divine Dynasty's planted pieces, having long been under their control.
Their acts within the Reincarnation Ground were but following the orders of the Feathered Great Emperor.
This revelation was astonishing—the Divine Hall, a powerful force in the alliance, turned out to be part of the Feathered Divine Dynasty!
The Hall Master of the Divine Hall also unveiled his true face; he was one of the top ten Divine Kings under the Feathered Great Emperor.
"The Hall Master of the Divine Hall is actually the Divine King!"
Who would believe such news if it hadn't actually happened?
Before entering the Reincarnation Realm, the Hall Master of the Divine Hall had even persuaded the Mysterious Ancient Emperor not to go inside. It could only be said that he had disguised himself too well, fooling everyone. With their arrogant dominance through numerous cosmic cycles, no one suspected they were people from the Feathered Divine Dynasty.
On that day after entering, the Mysterious Ancient Emperor led an attack that indeed severely damaged the Feathered Divine Army.
But at the critical moment of the battle, the Hall Master of the Divine Hall suddenly stabbed them in the back, attacking within the allied forces and slaying a being from the Death Sea, comparable to ten Divine Kings. If Moony Heart hadn't had the protection left by the Demon God, they would have nearly fallen as well.
However, the Mysterious Ancient Emperor had reserved some strength. He trusted no one and was well prepared; thus, his losses were relatively light.
But due to the Hall Master of the Divine Hall's betrayal, the advantageous situation completely collapsed, turning into a hunt initiated by the Feathered Divine Dynasty.
"How many people in this universe have pledged allegiance to the Feathered Great Emperor, and how many more trump cards has he not yet revealed? Now I even suspect that the Death Sea, the Ancient Demon Forbidden Zone, or even someone familiar might be his agent!"
Bone God trembled with shock.
If even the Hall Master of the Divine Hall was his Divine King, who else could be trusted?
It was likely that after this battle, no one would join any future alliance, as who knew if there would be the Feathered Great Emperor's infiltrators within it. Even within the same forces, distrust would permeate deeply.
This move was harsh, making everyone in the universe feel endangered.
The Feathered Great Emperor was ruthless, intentionally allowing the alliance to greatly harm the Feathered Divine Army, all for the sake of this setup—and he succeeded, shattering the strength of the alliance.
"Their majority of forces will be stationed at the exit of the Reincarnation Realm. Don't panic when we break through there. Although the Feathered Great Emperor has many agents, he can't dominate the battle scene every time. This battle is mainly about striking at the heart."
Chu Yuan saw through it all, a seal in his hand suddenly lighting up.
"The people of the Wilderness are facing an insurmountable danger and are seeking my help!"
