Collision Between Empires
As the great sun sank in the west, the afterglow of sunset painted the entire world in a dark blue hue.
Above the forest, composed of countless towering ancient trees and resembling a blue ocean, more than a hundred enormous cities with diameters ranging from several dozen to hundreds of kilometers floated.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist between these cities, many members of the Fairy Spirit Race, dressed in ancient-style clothing, had solemn expressions as they looked towards the front of the procession.
There, in the high sky, a turquoise celestial light spread like an ocean, and more than a dozen figures surrounded by white, blue, and purple celestial energy stood tall, resembling legendary celestial beings.
Among these figures was the Netherworld Heavenly King of the Human Race, along with over ten celestial lords and immortal kings.
At this moment, everyone’s expression was grave as they looked towards Chen Chu, even though they were separated by more than a hundred thousand kilometers. The terrifying explosion shockwaves ahead still sent tremors through their hearts.
The power was too overwhelming, akin to a celestial lord self-destructing, and the lingering pressure was still palpable in the world around them.
The Netherworld Heavenly King expressed his concerns, “That area is already close to our race's outer expansion range, belonging to the rear. How could there be such intense combat fluctuations?”
Beside the Netherworld Heavenly King, a handsome middle-aged man pondered aloud, “The three-way alliance of nobles has gathered power comparable to our race at its peak.”
“With such strength, even against the siege of three or four Infernal Empires, they could hold on for quite some time. The situation shouldn’t have changed drastically in such a short period.”
“That aura ahead is domineering and differs from the darkness of the Infernal Demon Race. It’s very likely that two ancient creatures are fighting each other after wandering over.”
“Brother Xian Kuang makes a valid point,” the Netherworld Heavenly King nodded slightly.
As the two conversed, three beams of light flickered above everyone’s heads, transforming into three figures, each exuding an ancient-level terrifying pressure.
Immediately, everyone's expression turned solemn, and they respectfully said, “We greet the three celestial kings.”
Among them, the elder with all-white hair slightly nodded and slowly spoke, “The fluctuations of energy in the front have calmed. Only a trace of aura remains, indicating one side of the battle has already retreated.”
“This area is close to the Human Race, and both sides are filled with forbidden zones. Clearly, taking a detour is not possible.”
“Wait a moment. I will go with Yin Tian to check first, while you lead the legion to follow shortly. If you sense a battle erupting ahead, stop immediately.”
Although there were no longer any combat fluctuations ahead, the three celestial kings of the Fairy Spirit Race remained cautious, unwilling to let their guard down in uncertain circumstances.
Moreover, with their cultivation levels, they could deter any ancient beings lingering there, preventing them from taking action against the team.
After exchanging a few words, the elder with white hair and the middle-aged man holding a pagoda, alongside the young man in a white robe carrying a long sword, transformed into streaks of light and vanished in an instant.
Watching the three celestial kings depart, the fourteen celestial lords standing amidst the azure sea of clouds took a brief pause before also scattering as beams of light towards each city.
Soon, the floating city group trembled violently, sending forth waves akin to mountains and tsunamis as they flew towards the front.
For the three powerful celestial kings, more than a hundred thousand kilometers was quickly crossed, and they appeared above a sky pit with a diameter of ten thousand kilometers.
The three celestial kings concealed their presence within spatial rifts, their auras retracted, making them undetectable.
