Chapter 76 The Chaos of the Three Sects, the Emperor's Wrath
"Morax, I knew you'd show up at this time. Did you think I didn't have a backup plan against you?"
The Dream Demon God spoke in a deep, cold voice. Her voice was incredibly eerie, seemingly drifting in from all directions without any discernible direction.
"You're welcome to try. The heavens and earth will tremble!"
Zhongli pointed his gun at the sky. The next moment, the earth shook; a terrifying yellow shadow enveloped the land, a celestial star fell from the sky, and the whole world cried out in agony.
The atmosphere was torn apart, mountains shifted, and even the earth's crust cracked, spewing out dark red magma. Even the distant sea surged with apocalyptic tides.
The heavens and earth trembled, mountains and seas took shape! This time, the power seemed even more terrifying than the one unleashed by the City of Slaughter. After all, when the City of Slaughter unleashed its power, Zhong Li still had to consider whether that small world would collapse.
The Rock King Emperor has truly recovered much of his power. If he were to face opponents like the Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, or Jade Yuanzhen again, he could take them down with a single spear thrust, without any suspense whatsoever.
"Buzzing."
Suddenly, the entire Spirit City was illuminated by an eerie purplish-red light. Immediately afterward, countless points of light surged from all directions of the Douluo Continent, converging on Spirit City.
"Is this the power of wishes you stole from the dreams of all the people of Douluo Continent? Do you think you can avoid being crushed under the mountains by using such evil methods?"
Zhong Li said calmly. However, a murderous glint had already flashed in his amber eyes.
"I borrow the combined willpower of all people in the world; if I can eliminate you, it will save the world from a calamity. Do you know why this willpower is so strong?"
"The Dream Demon God said menacingly."
Zhong Li simply looked at the Dream Demon God indifferently.
"Because the world is currently in chaos, and the people are suffering terribly. Especially in the Star Luo Empire, bones lie exposed in the wilderness, not a rooster crows for miles, the land is devastated and ravaged, and nine out of ten houses are empty. People hate this chaotic world, and they hate even more the person who created all this suffering. That person is you, Morax!"
The roar of the Dream Demon God seemed to come from all directions, as if it came from the entire world.
"Hmph. Killing is for the sake of protecting life; severing karma is not the same as killing people. Before dawn, how can there be no bloodshed? For the grand arrival of Liyue, Morax will bear any amount of bloodshed! Dream God, your sorcery is futile. Kill!"
Zhongli's eyes had turned a pale golden color, like the aloof judgment of a god. He pointed his rock spear again, and countless more rock spears appeared in the sky, descending like mountains.
An incredibly terrifying battle erupted above the Spirit Hall. Under the influence of almost inexhaustible psychic power, the Dream Demon God transformed into hundreds of forms, some resembling avatars of the Dream Demon God with combat power indistinguishable from the real one; others even transformed into other demon gods or the most terrifying magical beasts on the Teyvat continent, all attacking Zhong Li together. The terrifying scene was like the ancient war between demon gods re-enacted.
"puff!"
The Rakshasa god was pierced through by a spear from the ancient Yaksha Fushe, who had materialized from him, and fell to the ground, his divine armor shattering into specks of dark green light. In this battlefield of demon god level, even the Rakshasa god's combat power was ultimately lacking.
However, as Bibi Dong fell, a dark red light suddenly enveloped her and then vanished from the spot. Also disappearing along with her were Tang San and his disciple Yu Xiaogang from the Spirit Hall.
This terrifying battle lasted for nine days and nine nights. For a battle at the level of a demon god, this time might not seem very long, but for the Douluo Continent, it was far too terrifying.
The entire Spirit City and the Papal Palace were completely destroyed, leaving only a deep abyss resembling a smaller version of the Abyss of Layered Rocks. Even the surrounding hundreds of miles were rendered barren by the terrifying battlefield; this was the terrifying destructive power of a demon god. Any talk of divine warfare seemed child's play in comparison.
The Dream Demon God ultimately transformed into scattered specks of purplish-red light and shattered completely. In Zhongli's palm, a purplish-red crystal appeared.
"The entire continent is in chaos. Is that your idea?"
Zhong Li gazed intently at the purplish-red crystal, and said softly.
He could sense that during the nine days of their great battle, the entire continent had fallen into utter chaos. In a sense, if this was the Dream Goddess's plan, then she had succeeded.
Although Spirit City was destroyed, the Spirit Hall's influence across the entire continent remained enormous, and even the core members of the Spirit Hall, such as its elders, had fled from Spirit City.
Under the command of the Dream Demon God, the Spirit Hall forces across the continent rebelled, as did the Spirit Hall's subordinate sects and several duchies that were still secretly controlled by the Spirit Hall.
In addition to these, the Clear Sky Sect, which had been living in seclusion for over a decade and had a deep-seated hatred for the Spirit Hall, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also joined in the chaos.
Ultimately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School made this choice. For Zhongli, it was both unexpected and understandable. In this world, everything is ultimately governed by self-interest. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can continue to exist under the order of the Heavenly Glazed Empire, but that's all it can do—continue to exist.
"The three upper sects should truly and completely become history."
Zhong Li looked towards Haotian Peak and said softly.
Before their rebellion, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had secretly withdrawn from its original location on Seven Treasure Mountain, which was very close to the former Heaven Dou City (now Heaven Glass City), and moved to another base that it had cultivated for many years. Of course, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could not have completely trusted the Heaven Dou Empire over the past thousand years, and had long since prepared contingency plans.
This new base is also located on a mountain, but compared to Qibao Mountain, its terrain is more treacherous, easier to defend than attack, and it is very close to Haotian Peak, forming a close connection and mutual support. The only drawback is that it is far from the prosperous areas of the mainland, which is not conducive to daily operations and development.
However, since the Emperor has murderous intent, it's useless to hide at the ends of the earth.
Besides the three sects—the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—causing chaos, another unexpected force appeared on the continent.
Poseidon Island.
The Sea Spirit Master legion from Poseidon Island actually crossed the sea and landed on the coast of the Tianli Empire. Fortunately, thanks to Zhongli's advance "Sea Evacuation Order," the Sea Spirit Masters who crossed the sea were unable to occupy any valuable cities, leaving only desolate ruins where not even a large tree could be found.
"Morax, Morax"
Standing in the once-prosperous city of Hanhai, looking at the scorched earth before him, Ausel grumbled bitterly. Hanhai City, once the most prosperous port city of the Heavenly Dou Empire, bustling with thousands of sails, now left him with nothing. He had just landed, and this was a devastating blow.
