"Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor are fighting each other!"

"Not only the Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor, but even the Mixed Element Saint and Shadow Saint have joined the battle. These four fought fiercely in the starry sky, even shattering planets. It is said in the end neither side could overcome the other, and all four saints were heavily injured!"

"Both sides suffered losses? What should we do then, keep pushing forward?"

"I don't know, there are no new orders for now!"

"Aren't there other saints on the demon race's side? With the Immortal Emperor and Mixed Element Saint injured, if other saints take action, we won't have anyone to resist them!"

"We can only watch this unfold; it's not something we can intervene in. A cosmic battle shattering planets, just thinking about it is thrilling. If only I could become a saint too."

…

Lin Chen walked through the camp and entered the headquarters of the First Corps.

Jiang Yunfeng sat in a chair, chin propped on his hand, his eyebrows tightly knitted, his face deep in thought.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jiang Yunfeng looked up, saw Lin Chen, and his face relaxed; he leaned back in his chair.

"How is it?"

Lin Chen spread his hands: "Everyone is discussing anxiously and feels lost... Any news from above?"

Jiang Yunfeng shook his head: "I have asked, but it's still the previous commands: be on strict alert. Before new orders arrive, holding our position is our only task."

Lin Chen nodded: "Is it true that both the Immortal Emperor and the Mixed Element Saint along with the Demon Emperor and Shadow Saint have all suffered heavy losses?"

Jiang Yunfeng hesitated, then nodded: "It should be true."

Lin Chen frowned: "At such a time, why did they even start fighting? If there's any issue and all of them are injured, won't that be a big problem?"

Jiang Yunfeng gave a wry smile: "Who knows? We also don't know the details of their negotiations, so it's hard to speculate why they fought so fiercely. Perhaps the Immortal Emperor wanted a fast resolution?"

Lin Chen looked at Jiang Yunfeng with a helpless tone: "Are we just going to wait like this?"

Jiang Yunfeng nodded: "If that's the Hall Master's order, we naturally have to wait."

Lin Chen sat down in a chair beside him, glanced at the Tian Guang outside: "Let's wait then. Since all the esteemed saints have suffered losses and the armies of both Immortal and Demon Worlds are standing still, if there really is a third party, maybe it's their time to make a move."

Jiang Yunfeng's gaze was heavy: "Yes, if the armies of both worlds aren't fighting, this would be the time when both Immortal and Demon Worlds have suffered the greatest losses."

After a pause, Jiang Yunfeng sighed heavily with a grave tone: "Let's hope we are wrong."

Lin Chen echoed: "Yes, let's hope our concerns are unnecessary!"

Sacred Heart Fairyland.

In the central area of Sacred Heart Fairyland, the Eagle Plateau, which stands over ten thousand meters tall, the air thin, long since unfit for ordinary humans to inhabit, a veritable forbidden zone for the human race.

Holy Heart Palace, where the Immortal Emperor commands all realms, the supreme power center of the entire Immortal Realm, is located right above this Eagle Plateau.

Indeed, Holy Heart Palace is not on the ground, but high up, above the clouds.

The entire Holy Heart Palace is built on a colossal square piece of land, beneath which lies a huge Array Formation fueled by a massive amount of Spirit Stones, maintained by many immortals in rotation, allowing the entire Holy Heart Palace to float above the Sky Dome.

Holy Heart Palace, with its many layered halls, glittering in gold, sitting atop the endless clouds, appears even more sacred and majestic, inspiring awe and reverence.

Holy Heart Palace is home to a vast number of Heavenly Soldiers who guard the palace, ensuring its safety.

Inside Holy Heart Palace are countless immortals, belonging to various halls and departments, responsible for different tasks, maintaining the operation of all aspects of the Immortal Domain.

The master of Holy Heart Palace is naturally the supreme Immortal Emperor, though the Immortal Emperor's whereabouts are elusive, rarely staying in Holy Heart Palace. The various departments of the palace operate autonomously, managed by Immortal Emperor's foremost disciple, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch.

Many affairs of the Holy Heart Palace were handled by each department independently. If reporting was required, it would first be handled by the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch. If there were disagreements with the decisions, one could request a discussion among the three Direct Disciples, with the minority submitting to the majority. If disputes still persisted, it could be escalated to the Immortal Emperor for final judgment.

The Immortal Emperor was naturally not present, and the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and the other two Direct Disciples had already rushed to the front lines of the war between the Immortal and Demon Worlds. Now, the Holy Heart Palace was temporarily in a state of leaderless "disarray."

At dawn, the sunlight spilled over, making the Holy Heart Palace appear even more resplendent under its illumination.

Countless immortals arrived at their respective workstations, beginning to handle the myriad of tasks from various fairy domains in the Immortal Realm.

A peaceful and tranquil day had once again commenced.

Silently, a purple rift suddenly appeared above the Sky Dome of the Holy Heart Palace and rapidly extended across the sky, as if a purple sharp blade had slashed across the dome, drawing a purple rift like a curtain sliced open.

As the purple rift slashed through, the sky seemed to be torn apart like a cloth curtain, and a purple liquid poured down from the slit, resembling a waterfall, hanging inverted from the sky dome.

This sudden phenomenon instantly drew the attention of many Heavenly Soldiers on duty at the Holy Heart Palace.

"Clang!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Standing in the watchtower of the Holy Heart Palace, the guard did not hesitate to ring the Ancient Bell hanging above the tower; the clear bell sound instantly spread throughout the Holy Heart Palace.

All the busy immortals of the Holy Heart Palace were startled by the bell sound, each lifting their heads somewhat dazedly, with shock and confusion in their eyes.

Is this a warning bell?

A warning?

This is the Holy Heart Palace, the supreme place in the entire Immortal Realm!

Why would there be a warning?

Who dares to make trouble here, and who even has the capability to do so?

The Heavenly Soldiers of the Heavenly Army Hall reacted the fastest, as guarding the Holy Heart Palace was their duty; a dense group of Heavenly Soldiers surged upwards from the camp.

In just such a short period of time, the purple rift had rapidly circled around the Holy Heart Palace, forming a complete circular rift.

The sky seemed to have been torn apart, with the purple liquid falling like a waterfall, enveloping the entire Holy Heart Palace within the purple falls.

The purple rift continued to expand, as if invisible giant hands were dragging the rift, ripping it apart forcefully.

What is going on?

All the Heavenly Soldiers brought out their Magical Treasures, staring at the sky-full of purple waterfalls falling; each of their expressions turned somewhat bewildered.

Who is the enemy?

Who tore the Sky Dome?

Where did this purple liquid come from?

As numerous Heavenly Soldiers puzzled over the situation, uncertain of what to do, countless figures composed of purple crystals and clay-like muddy material emerged within the purple rift.

"Prepare for battle!"

Vice Hall Master Song Hui of the Heavenly Army Hall raised his Black Blade, his voice booming like thunder, sweeping across the sky dome.

"Protect the Holy Heart Palace!"

"Kill!"

As the Heavenly Soldiers manipulated their Magical Treasures to rise towards the sky dome, those terrifying purple figures leaped down from the gap, charging towards the Heavenly Soldiers.

Looking through the purple rift, behind those purple figures, countless more formidable terrifying figures rapidly approached the gap…
