The aliens had appeared out of nowhere. They seemed to have come from a different spatial path, allowing a group of insanely powerful aliens to instantly arrive. After reaching the dominion, they did not launch an attack immediately because they had other plans. They had come to conquer the dominion and turn it into a slave center, not destroy it.
Thus, they sent their experts over to challenge the dominion's experts, trying to test how strong the dominion actually was. At that point, the humans finally panicked. Tales of the aliens' might have been spread since ancient times. Now that the mighty aliens were here, what should they do?
More importantly, the devils had conquered almost half of the Central Region. Two entire dynasties had fallen under their control. Which of the two enemies should humanity focus on? As the strongest organization, the self-proclaimed protector of the dominion, the time had arrived for the Guardians Guild's strength to be tested.
The Guardians Guild split into two armies, one led by the newly appointed young guild master, Qin Jiu, to face the aliens and one led by Gongsun Sanyang to face the devils. Qin Hongyan and Gongsun Yingxiong each called upon the ancient pact with the Immortal Road Chamber, the Guangling Palace, and the Celestial Alliance for their help in fighting external enemies.
With that, the bulk of humanity was split into two. As they had to face two powerful enemies at the same time, they felt extremely pressured in terms of military strength. Fortunately, the world knew that this concerned humanity's survival. Thus, the bystanders were forced to join the fight as well. Otherwise, they would all suffer if the external enemies were allowed to conquer the dominion.
With that, the old monsters who had remained in seclusion appeared one after another. Some ancient clans also invited their ancestors out of their seclusions one after another. Together, humanity met their enemies.
In outer space, one battle after another erupted. Humanity relied on the fact that the dominion was their own territory and enjoyed a numerical advantage over the aliens. They also took out numerous ancient divine weapons, successfully forcing the aliens to retreat a considerable distance away. However, the aliens were too monstrous to suffer an actual defeat. Rather, after repeated collisions, the aliens finally gathered all the information they needed. They were about to launch a massive invasion.
They accelerated the construction of a proper spatial path so that more aliens could arrive. When it was completed, humanity would definitely be defeated.
The devils took the chance to expand. Countless devils swarmed out of the Devil Domain, and boundless devilish energy leaked from the Devil Domain into the dominion, creating a rather spectacular scene.
Gongsun Sanyang displayed his leadership quality, gathering the armies of the Central Region's major dynasties to wage war against the devils. He aimed to push the devils back to the Devil Domain.
Unfortunately, a diabolic dragon heavily injured him. If it wasn't for the trump card Gongsun Yingxiong had left him, he would not have survived.
Meanwhile, the dominion's many non-human races joined forces to protect themselves, staying out of the war between humanity and the two invaders.
As for the second largest race in the dominion, the demonic beasts, they were even less united than humanity. If they could actually join hands, they would have been able to field an army as strong as the human army. As the war raged on, the demonic beasts made their move.
From the east, a true dragon appeared. Working with the demonic beasts with dragon bloodline, they formed a beast army led by the dragon and consolidated their own territory.
From the west, a white tiger rose from the Hundred Beasts Mountain and consolidated the demonic beasts of numerous other ancient mountains. With the white tiger's powerful bloodline power, one demonic beast after another was recruited, forming an army centered around the white tigers. This faction also seemed extremely powerful.
The two factions seemed to be on the verge of uniting the entire beast-kind, but nobody knew which of the two would be stronger before they actually collided. Surprisingly, the two factions did not wage war against each other. Instead, one headed to the north while the other headed to the south, as though they were intentionally staying clear of each other. Or perhaps they were merely gathering strength for a final confrontation.
The only oddity was the fact that the zombies had not expanded. Of course, with wars raging all over the world, numerous new corpses were created on a daily basis, and all those corpses disappeared mysteriously.
Some guessed that the zombies had collected all the corpses, and some also guessed that perhaps the corpses had been devoured by Blood Spirit. In recent years, Blood Spirit had been extremely elusive. He grew at a shocking speed, and both humans and devils hated him with passion. Alas, no one could do anything to him.
Peace could no longer be found on the dominion, and slaughter was everywhere. People died on a daily basis, and many powerful heroes appeared, giving humanity much-needed hope.
For example, Ximen Xue once again appeared in the north. With a cultivation of peak ninth-stage God Realm, he defeated a Two Revolutions devil, shocking the entire world with his feat. He had reached the realm of grand unfeeling sword. Each draw of his sword would cause blood to spill. He had fully transformed into an unfeeling slaughterer.
To the east, a hero also appeared from the Dongfang Clan. Dongfang Wudi showcased himself to the world with astonishing might. With his powerful Azure Dragon Skyshaker Technique, he killed six aliens all by himself and bathed in the blood of his fallen enemies, never knowing defeat.
There were also many other up-and-coming youngsters who were as talented as the previous batch of young Gods. They all rose to the challenge of protecting humanity.
Alas, even Ximen Xue's strongest sword couldn't truly threaten the devils, and neither could Dongfang Wudi's fists plant actual fear in the aliens. The two had yet to enter the Nine Revolutions Realm, so they did not have the decisive strength to dictate the war.
In the twentieth year of the Ziling Sect's seclusion, Qin Jiu's army suffered a massive defeat. A total of thirty-thousand people were killed, and they fled back to the dominion gloomily.
His reputation as the young guild master had not suffered from the defeat. Rather, he gained even more fame as he had finally mastered the Solitary Empty Heart, granting him an impressive strength. Many powerful enemies were felled by him. With Qin Hongyan's help, he became a One Revolution cultivator, becoming the undisputed number one expert of the younger generation. Of course, that was only the case after excluding Xiang Shaoyun.
In the thirtieth year of the Ziling Sect's seclusion, Gongsun Sanyang failed to escape death. When he was personally leading a battle against the devils, he perished at the hands of a diabolic dragon. Even his soul was devoured alive.
Gongsun Yingxiong was thoroughly infuriated to have his descendant die before him. With his weapon, he personally killed eighteen diabolic dragons. Ultimately, he faced a powerful diabolic dragon in battle. The fight brought him to outer space, and he had been missing ever since.
In the fortieth year of the Ziling Sect's seclusion, the zombies made a return. All the Western Desert organizations were affected. Countless people were surrounded by death energy and corpse energy. Numerous people died, and the Western Desert inhabitants started fleeing to the other regions. As for those who couldn't flee, they started hoping that the Ziling Sect would return to face the devils. At the very least, they would be able to keep living if the Ziling Sect was around.
In the fiftieth year of the Ziling Sect's seclusion, the dominion was thoroughly ravaged. The aliens had successfully gained a foothold in the dominion. They declared that the devils were also aliens, and they suggested that the devils work with them against the humans.
Humanity was in crisis!
