Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Xuan Tianzun continued, his tone tinged with helplessness and resentment:

"I secretly contacted the Insect Realm, hoping they could join forces with us to fight against the powerful enemy. After all, they have an Insect Queen and are also involved. However, the other two Insect Queens are unwilling to explicitly express their willingness to join forces. The Demon Realm and the Dragon Realm have only expressed serious concern, but they have all adopted a neutral stance."

"Damn it!" Yan Tianzun slammed his fist on the jade table in anger, and the table, made of precious materials, was instantly covered in cracks.

"These short-sighted fools! Today Jiang Hao is purging my Heavenly Realm, and one day he might just purge them too. The various realms are so disunited; they deserve to be suppressed by the Origin Realm forever, never to rise again!"

The voice of the You Tianzun, who had been silent all along, seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, cold and realistic.

"Complaining is useless. They are all cunning people who want to preserve their strength. They may even want to wait until we and Jiang Hao are both exhausted before they can reap the benefits. The other great realms are even happier to see us fight to the death with the new emperor of the Origin Realm to weaken both sides. It is better to rely on ourselves than to ask others for help."

Jun Tianzun listened to everyone's words, then turned his gaze to the deepest, most chaotic and hazy area of ​​the Heavenly Dao Palace, and slowly spoke.

"It seems that in the end we must rely on ourselves. Let us awaken the ancestor and let him make the decision."

Upon hearing the mention of the Ancestor, the other four Heavenly Venerables all tensed up, their eyes revealing awe.

That is the oldest and most powerful foundation of the Celestial Realm, a living fossil that existed in the early days of the mythological era and personally experienced the wars of the mythological era and the ancient wars of gods.

It has long been deeply integrated with the core of the celestial origin, and usually lies dormant in the core of the Heavenly Dao, only awakening in the face of a world-ending crisis.

A moment later, deep within the Heavenly Dao Palace, an ancient, vast aura, seemingly existing alongside the entire Thirty-Three Heavens, slowly awakened.

A blurry figure, seemingly formed from countless celestial runes, appeared before the Five Heavenly Venerables.

His face was obscured, but one could sense a will as vast as the heavens and as profound as the starry sea.

"I am aware of the matter."

The aged yet peaceful voice resonated directly in the hearts of the Five Heavenly Venerables.

"Jiang Hao, the Chaos Body, is indeed a variable unprecedented in history. His momentum has been established, and his sharp edge is at its peak."

"Ancestor, how should we respond? Should we fight or make peace?" Jun Tianzun respectfully asked for instructions.

The ancestor remained silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"Now that he has begun his purge, he will not let us off easily just because of the profound resources of my Heavenly Realm. Peace will come at a price, while war will risk our demise."

"My Celestial Realm, inheriting the legacy of the Immortal Domain, possesses its own dignity and confidence. The Zhou Tian Realm Cauldron is a treasure for the Celestial Realm, forged by gathering thirty-six kinds of innate divine materials from the beginning of the Celestial Realm and combining the essence of the thirty-six heavens. Although it is not an immortal artifact, it far surpasses the weapons of ordinary Dao-proving cultivators, possessing boundless power. Furthermore, it has the vast essence of the Celestial Realm that I can utilize."

"If he comes, we should talk to him first. If his conditions are acceptable, we should spend money to avoid trouble. If he is aggressive and wants to destroy my lineage... then we should use all the power of the Heavenly Realm to fight him and let him know what the foundation of the strongest world in the heavens is!"

With the ancestor's word set, the five Heavenly Venerables of the Celestial Realm felt somewhat at ease, but the pressure remained immense.

They immediately began to make intensive arrangements, mobilizing all the power of the celestial realm and drawing upon the source to warm up the Zhou Tian Realm Cauldron.

On the other hand, a staggering list of apologies has been prepared, hoping to deter Jiang Hao.

In the insect realm, at the deepest part of the Myriad Devourer's Nest.

The atmosphere here is even more fearful and uneasy than in the heavens.

Because the Insect Mother was a firsthand witness, she truly experienced the power of Jiang Hao's terrifying punch. To this day, her Dao injury has not healed, and her origin still aches faintly.

Inside the magnificent palace, the Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects leaned against her throne, her stunningly beautiful face now filled with frost and sorrow.

Below, her direct descendants, such as Prince Kun and Princess Caiyi, held their breath and stared at her with fear in their eyes.

"Mother Queen... is the news from the Big Dipper in the Origin Realm true? That Chaos Emperor, really..."

Prince Kun's voice trembled, and he dared not continue.

"It's true."

The voice of the Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects carried a barely perceptible hoarseness and weariness.

"He grew faster and was more terrifying than I imagined. The Heavenly Venerable of Reincarnation, the Supreme Venerable of Dawn... their deaths were not unjust."

"What should we do then?" Princess Rainbow Wings was almost in tears.

"Will he come to our insectoid realm next? Can...can we stop him?"

"block?"

A bitter smile tugged at the corners of the Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects' lips.

"What can I use to stop them? When I was at my peak, I might have been able to hold my own with the help of the nest's terrain, but now that my source has been damaged and my combat power has been weakened, even if I join forces with my two sisters, Star Eater and Illusion Desire, and gather the power of the three nests... the chances of winning against a Chaos Emperor who can quickly kill a Supreme Being who has reached the ultimate level of Ascension are slim. Moreover, the other two sisters certainly won't fight to the death against such a powerful enemy for my sake."

"Then...then are we just going to sit here and wait to die?" Prince Kun asked anxiously.

The eyes of the Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects gleamed. After struggling for a long time, she finally seemed to have made up her mind.

"The only option now is to seek outside help."

"Foreign aid?" The offspring were bewildered. In all the heavens and myriad realms, who would dare to provoke the Chaos Emperor at this time?

"Heavenly Demon Emperor".

The Queen Mother of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects slowly uttered three words.

"The Heavenly Demon Emperor?" Prince Kun was taken aback, then recalled that the demon race giant who was renowned in the ancient times and had fought alongside many ancient emperors.

"Didn't that person disappear at the end of the ancient era? Rumor has it they've already passed away..."

"He is not dead."

The Queen Mother of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects affirmed.

"He was merely lying dormant in the deepest part of the demon realm, in the ancestral court of ten thousand demons, using secret methods to slow the loss of his life force, waiting for the path to immortality. I once had some... relationship with him."

"But Mother Empress, even if the Heavenly Demon Emperor is willing to intervene, can he... can he stop the Chaos Emperor?"

Princess Rainbow Wings asked cautiously, clearly her fear of Jiang Hao had penetrated to the bone.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Devourers fell silent.

Both she and the Heavenly Demon Emperor were once powerful figures who stirred up the winds and clouds in the ancient times, and they knew each other inside and out.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor is very strong, ranking among the top among the many emperors of the Primordial Era, and may even be close to the level of the Heavenly Emperor.

But... Jiang Hao's performance was simply too extraordinary.

Before even becoming an emperor, he was able to slay the Nirvana Heavenly Venerable who had reached the pinnacle of sublimation; after becoming an emperor, he killed the Samsara Heavenly Venerable as easily as killing a chicken…

"Nobody knows unless they've fought it."

That was all the Queen of Ten Thousand Devouring Insects could say in the end, but even she could hear the uncertainty in her tone.

"But this is the only hope at the moment. I will go to the Ancestral Court of Ten Thousand Demons in the Demon Realm in person. No matter what, I must persuade him, at least... get him to mediate. Maybe then Jiang Hao's conditions will not be so harsh."

She stood up, and although her injuries had not yet healed, her aura as the ruler of the insect world was once again restored.

"Before I return, seal off all external access routes, activate the highest level of defense for the Mother Nest, and prohibit anyone from leaving or allowing any outsiders to enter."

"Yes!" The descendants quickly responded, but a heavy cloud still hung over their hearts.

Even the Queen Mother has to seek help, and she doesn't have much confidence in the reinforcements... The future of the insect world seems to be shrouded in blood.

Demon world.

Inside a bronze temple burning with inextinguishable demonic flames, a colossal figure shrouded in chaotic demonic energy slowly opened its eyes.
