On this day, the Martial Domain was no longer calm; the winds were surging, as if an endless killing intent was brewing beneath the surface of a tranquil lake. The atmosphere was particularly heavy.
Almost all forces halted their affairs, searching for news and paying attention to the whispers around them. Everyone knew that this time, Piao Miao Palace had gone too far, which would trigger a major earthquake.
In the past two hundred years, although Piao Miao Palace had rapidly ascended to the top power in the Martial Domain, it didn’t mean they could monopolize everything. All forces heading to the Ancient Yu Realm united together and absolutely had the ability to annihilate Piao Miao Palace; this, everyone believed. Especially since Piao Miao Palace even dared to collude with the Demon Tribe, this news stirred even more waves, like a heavy bomb dropped into the calm Martial Domain.
The Demon Tribe, though not well-known among the martial artists of the lower four domains, was almost universally recognized by the many top forces in the Martial Domain.
In the past two hundred years, numerous ancient relics had surfaced in various locations, revealing details about the dark turmoil from back then, which was caused by the so-called Demon Tribe. This was an extremely terrifying race that had invaded the Tianwu Continent multiple times throughout endless history, aiming to conquer and rule it.
Historical records have documented this, clearly stating that the most recent invasion by the Demon Tribe occurred during the dark turmoil era ten thousand years ago. That invasion resulted in catastrophic losses for the entire Tianwu Continent, with numerous strong warriors falling and rivers flowing with blood.
It was also that battle that led to countless historical records being lost, leaving only fragments that recorded the past brutality.
To this day, the Tianwu Continent had not overcome the influence of the dark turmoil from ten thousand years ago. Countless martial arts and secret manuals had been destroyed, the world was severely damaged, and strong warriors were scarce.
It was rumored that in ancient times, even Holy Realm experts existed, who could break through the void and enter the legendary Heavenly Realm. But now, this had become just a rumor; the peak of the Martial God was already the utmost limit. As for the so-called Heavenly Realm, it was merely a legend, and no one knew its truth, how tragic.
However, this time, Piao Miao Palace actually colluded with the rumored Demon Tribe, which naturally caused a stir throughout the entire Martial Domain. What did Piao Miao Palace intend to do? Did they want to incite another dark turmoil?
How could this be tolerated?
In an instant, news spread throughout the Martial Domain; the major forces were about to unite and march against Piao Miao Palace.
Once this news spread, the entire Martial Domain was invigorated, with everyone eagerly awaiting the armies of the major forces.
Over the years, Piao Miao Palace had relied on its vast power and control over the Law Enforcement Hall, committing countless acts that incited public outrage, which had long angered many forces; almost no force wished for Piao Miao Palace to survive.
However, they could only think about it; Piao Miao Palace had stood tall on the continent for so many years and had become the number one force because of true strength.
Thus, before any force took the lead, despite various whispers spreading everywhere, no force had truly stepped forward to openly confront Piao Miao Palace.
At that time, all forces focused their attention on the Qi Hall and the Xuanyuan Empire.
Outside the Ancient Yu Realm, the Xuanyuan Empire and the Qi Hall acted most ruthlessly, as one of the princes from the Xuanyuan Empire and the illegitimate son of a prominent figure from the Qi Hall had perished in the Ancient Yu Realm, having been betrayed by Piao Miao Palace.
Of course, the majority of other forces had been completely annihilated, suffering even greater losses than the Xuanyuan Empire and the Qi Hall. However, these forces exercised great restraint, waiting quietly for news from the Xuanyuan Empire and the Qi Hall.
