The world descends on Sky Island: God-level talents are drawn at the beginning.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like if the Korean star woke up to find that his/her relatives and friends had passed away.

The Great Beast Lord turned his head and glanced at the tall figure in the center of the hall, still closing his eyes and charging towards the final moment.

"I hope... you can wake up soon, Han Xing."

The Great Beast Lord murmured, then released his own lightning essence, his eyes filled with determination.

He is ready to enter the Primordial Thunder Beast form at any time for a desperate battle!
An atmosphere of impending doom instantly filled the entire temple.

...

...

at the same time.

Inside the Heavenly Lake Secret Realm, the battle has reached a fever pitch!

The torn opening had become a death zone, like a meat grinder.

"Roar! Tear them apart!"

The lava trolls of the Western Regions Allied Forces surged like a red tide, relentlessly attacking the defenses of the Secret Realm Guardian Legion.

Faced with the onslaught of these lava trolls, the "Skywater Guardians" unleashed their Legion Battle Art: Towering Waves!
A massive tsunami erupted, engulfing the endless lava trolls.

When the water comes into contact with the lava, it makes a hissing sound and steams up a cloud of white mist!
"Gah——!!"

The overwhelming "Shadow Raven Clan" emitted ear-piercing screams as they fiercely battled the "Guardian Spirits of the Immortal Palace" that flew out of the secret realm.

The shadows and the flowing light collided constantly, like two different colored sky curtains eroding each other.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

The "Sanctuary Crystal Song Guardian" threw out a beam of purifying light that collided violently with the boulder thrown by the "Stone Giant".

A deafening roar erupted, and energy fragments scattered like a meteor shower!
High in the sky, the main cannons of the war fortress and the Titan mothership roared incessantly, and destructive energy beams wreaked havoc throughout the entire secret realm.

The entire secret realm was trembling.

The Tianshan Mountains collapsed, and Tianchi Lake receded, turning this once peaceful and tranquil paradise into a brutal battlefield.

However, the guardian legion of the Tianchi Secret Realm put up a tenacious resistance thanks to their advantageous terrain and their determination to fight to the death.

However, under the overwhelming numerical superiority and relentless offensive of the Western Regions Allied Forces, their decline has gradually become apparent.

"Crack——!"

After enduring dozens of rounds of concentrated fire from the main cannons of the war fortresses, the massive bodies of those towering "rock giants" were now riddled with cracks.

"Boom!!!"

Amidst roars of resentment, these giants collapsed with a deafening crash, turning into countless rubble that returned to the mountains.

On the other side, the towering waves gathered by the Skywater Guardians were drastically compressed in size under the relentless onslaught of the Lava Trolls.

Once the large number of guards were brought close by these ferocious trolls, they were either vaporized by terrifying flames or torn to pieces by brute force!

The number of guardian spirits of the celestial palace in the sky is also decreasing sharply.

Although their sword light could tear apart large swarms of Shadow Ravens, it was often impossible to defend against the precise and deadly pinpoint fire of the Elf Skywatchers and the unpredictable backstabs of the Void Warp Ships.

Guardian spirits fell like meteors, exploding into a dazzling but fleeting rain of light.

In the midst of the army, the giant clad in crimson divine armor, seemingly made of magma, saw the battle unfold before him and a ferocious look appeared in his eyes.

He muttered, "Very good... the secret realm's defenders won't be able to hold out for much longer..."

"Next, it's time for us to breach the temple and capture those little rats from the Southern Region."

Beside him, a divine general, his body wreathed in lightning, also wore a victorious smile.

"Not only that... After we break through the secret realm this time, we will no longer need to wait for it to open once every ten thousand years..."

"Then they gradually sent their subordinate deities in to obtain opportunities..."

"Go straight to the core of the secret realm and seize all the treasures left behind by that god!"

"At that time... with the vast resources, our lord will be able to return to the peak once again and prove the Eternal Realm in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing this, a fanatical look appeared in the eyes of the crimson-armored giant!

"Our Lord is mighty! He will ultimately sweep away all!"

Clearly... the reasons behind this group of Western Region God Lords' high-profile attack on the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm are more complex than imagined.

Arresting Korean stars is only the most superficial factor.

The deeper reason lies in the endless treasures contained within this secret realm, and the eternal game involved!

At the same time, the Thunder God waved his hand, and his voice, containing endless thunder, swept across the battlefield.

"Continue the attack!"

"Tear down all these palaces and find all the hidden treasures within!"

"Pluck all the lotus leaves and lotus hearts from Tianchi..."

"Sweep all the treasures in this entire secret realm to the ground!"

Upon hearing the order, the Western Regions Allied Forces, already bloodthirsty, went completely mad!

The lava trolls were no longer content with simply charging the defensive lines; instead, they began to wantonly destroy everything in their path!
They wielded their giant axes, smashing and burning the exquisite palaces and pavilions in large swathes.

The Shadow Ravens swept through the land like locusts, their shadowy power corroding everything in their path.

The Holy Temple Crystal Song Guardians no longer aimed their spears at the enemies, but instead bombarded the sacred mountain veins that contained rich spiritual energy, forcibly extracting their energy!
Even worse, some people rushed directly to the Heavenly Pool and roughly picked the lotus leaves and hearts that emitted a glowing green light, and even tried to uproot the entire fairy lotus!

The entire secret realm became ravaged at a visible speed, and its spiritual energy dissipated rapidly.

"stop!!"

A will containing overwhelming rage suddenly descended—it was the primordial will of the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm!
It sensed that its foundation was being frantically plundered and destroyed, and let out an angry roar.

"Desecrating the sacred ground...plundering the divine treasures...you will surely suffer the wrath of the divine beings!! May you be condemned to eternal damnation!!"

The words "Divine Lord" seemed to carry some mysterious magic, causing some of the Western Region soldiers who were wreaking havoc to instinctively pause, a flash of primal fear crossing their eyes.

After all, it was the name of an ancient powerhouse, whose influence still lingered.

However, at that moment, two even more immense wills pressed down like the heavens, instantly dispelling the fear in the warriors' hearts.

It was none other than the Golden Flame God and the Rock God!
"Godly Lord? Hmph, he's long gone!"

The Golden Flame God's voice was filled with disdain, "If he has the ability, let him show himself and stop me!"

The will of the Rock God was even more direct, resolute as a rock, penetrating into the minds of every soldier: "Everything here is our spoils of war! Take as much as you like, and I will take responsibility for it!"

To become a god-king and a high-ranking leader in the Western Regions, a place teeming with powerful figures and fraught with harsh conditions, is certainly no ordinary person.

They were all heroes who rose to power through countless bloody battles and over mountains of corpses!
They are willing to pay any price to achieve their goals and secure their permanent positions.

Even that ancient god who might still be alive could not stop their determination!

With their own divine authority backing them up, the morale of the Western Regions Allied Army soared once again, even more frenzied than before! Their acts of destruction and plunder became even more rampant, without the slightest restraint!
The will of the secret realm continued to issue angry warnings and mobilized more primal power to retaliate.

However, faced with the opponent's overwhelming numerical advantage, they were clearly at a disadvantage and could only slow down the opponent's advance...

"Boom!"

The deafening sounds of fighting and explosions echoed continuously throughout the secret realm. This fierce battle lasted for two days and two nights!
The once ethereal and dreamlike Tianchi Secret Realm is now a scene of devastation.

The magnificent palace complex was reduced to ruins, with its exquisite carvings and paintings destroyed by lava or smashed by immense force.

The vast waters of Tianchi Lake surged violently, with broken lotus leaves and the wreckage of warships floating on its surface.

Just as the Western Regions Allied Forces were recklessly wreaking havoc.

"Om...!!!"

The entire Heavenly Pool Secret Realm suddenly trembled!
A wave of will, far more ancient and profound than before, seemed to originate from the very core of the secret realm.

Like the heartbeat of a sleeping prehistoric behemoth, it suddenly spread in all directions!

"Dong Dong!!"

This fluctuation, though not an attack, sent shivers down the spines of the Allied soldiers who were wreaking havoc, causing them to freeze involuntarily.

Even the Golden Flame God and the Rock God, who were hidden in the void and observing the whole situation, felt a strange palpitation at this moment!

It was as if some extremely dangerous being, awakened by their actions, was about to return from its eternal slumber!

The divine flames burning around the Golden Flame God Lord paused for a moment. His gaze swept across the dilapidated secret realm below with suspicion and uncertainty. The source of the unease that even a being like him felt was elusive and hard to find.

"Something's wrong..."

The Rock God Lord said in a deep voice, even his mountain-like, unwavering will showed a slight ripple, "Deep within this secret realm, something seems to be slumbering..."

The Golden Flame God Lord nodded solemnly: "Indeed... after all, it is a secret realm left behind by that ancient god, and even the Eternal Ones have not forcibly seized it..."

"There may be forces inside that are beyond our imagination..."

His voice deepened, and he said in a low voice, "We can't keep provoking them."

The two deities exchanged a glance and instantly reached a consensus.

The treasure is valuable, but if it awakens some uncontrollable ancient terror, then the loss outweighs the gain.

The Golden Flame God Lord made a swift decision, his icy voice echoing across the battlefield: "Cease the destruction! All legions, target the central temple of Heavenly Pool!"

"Charge in and capture Han Xing!"

The will of the Rock God also descended: "Priority mission changed! Take the temple and control the target!"

Military orders are absolute.

The massive coalition quickly halted its environmental destruction, like a destructive torrent that had reversed its course.

All firepower was directed at the end of Tianchi Lake, at the temple that stood in the endless clouds, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

"boom--!!!!"

An unprecedentedly loud explosion shook the entire secret realm!
The protective light barrier surrounding the temple twisted violently, emitting a sound of being unable to bear the strain, and instantly became covered with spiderweb-like cracks!
Even the previously faint qualities have disappeared, as if they have been forcibly pulled back to reality from nothingness.

Seeing this, the will of the secret realm attempted to mobilize more power to stop it.

However, after two days of fierce fighting, most of the power in the secret realm had been depleted.

The remaining legions were simply not enough to stop the advance of the Western Regions allied forces, and could only watch helplessly as they continued to bombard the temple.

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

Under this terrifying concentrated fire, the space around the temple shattered inch by inch, revealing the chaotic void below.

The seemingly indestructible outer walls of the temple, which had stood for millennia, also began to tremble violently.

Just then, a high-ranking god lord clad in crimson divine armor joined forces with another high-ranking god lord to unleash a supreme attack!
"Wow——!"

The terrifying energy shockwave tore a huge, hundreds-of-meters-long crack open in the temple!

Through the cracks, one could even vaguely see the magnificent colonnades and the primordial aura emanating from the interior of the temple.

Seeing this, the entire Western Regions Allied Forces were filled with excitement!

"The crack has opened! Charge in!"

With a command, the red-armored magma giant let out an excited roar.

It took the lead, transforming into a streak of crimson light, and headed straight for the crack!

Behind him, the elite legion surged forward like a tidal wave!
Just as the red-armored magma giant was about to rush into the crack...

"Boom!!!"

A bolt of purple lightning suddenly erupted, surging out from behind the crack!

Sensing the power of the lightning, the Crimson-Armored Magma Giant, despite being a high-level god, did not feel any danger, but still stopped in its tracks.

Its legions also ceased their movements.

Under the watchful eyes of the Western Regions Allied Forces, figures faintly emerged from the lightning surging from the crack.

The first thing to appear was an ancient behemoth whose entire body was wreathed in raging lightning!
It was like Thor descending to earth, each step unleashing a thunderous roar as it resolutely appeared high in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Tu Gang's massive body, made of liquid metal, blocked the bottom of the crack.

Then came the appearance of Linghui Lord, Longyu, Yaolian, Qinghe, Miaoqing, Zijing, and other powerful figures at the God Lord level.

Even the newly promoted Chaos Lords, such as Cheng Jianyong, Shen Yun, Zhang Lianmeng, and Su Xiaoyang, stood fearlessly behind the various God Lords.

Despite their relatively weak aura, the fighting spirit in their eyes was undiminished!
Upon seeing this, the Western Regions allied forces all showed strange expressions.

A moment later, the high-ranking god, whose body was wreathed in destructive lightning, stepped forward from the crowd.

He glanced disdainfully at the beast lord and his companions who emerged from the crack, letting out a mocking sneer:

"Heh... So it's you guys from the Southern Region..."

"After hiding for years, like a rat in a sewer, hiding its head and tail, is it finally willing to come out into the light now that its shell has been broken?"

Faced with this blatant contempt and insult, the Great Beast Lord and the others remained unmoved, their eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

Seeing this, the high-level Thunder God Lord sneered again: "You think you can drag this out by not saying anything?"

"Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"

"Hand over that brat named Han Xing right now, or we will wipe you and this temple out of the world today."

Upon hearing the threat, the Great Beast Lord also snorted coldly.

A deep voice emanated from the body of the Primordial Thunder Beast: "A bunch of bastards who only know how to bully the weak, do they even deserve to deal with Lord Han Xing?"

"If it weren't for the fact that his development period is still relatively short, in another thousand years, all of you, including the entities behind you, would have to grovel at his feet!"
