Imperial God Emperor

This was a tragedy and a calamity that had befallen the entire world. 

The entire Divine Light Court had been reduced to a sea of blood by the time the six divine generals rushed back. 

"Stop! Have you gone mad?" 

"He has already gone over to the demonic side. We can't spare him any longer." 

The six divine generals attempted to stop him when they saw the Sky Emperor who had succumbed to lunacy. 

The six divine generals were undeniably the true top-level experts who formed the backbone of the military. After they stepped in, they managed to temporarily stop the Sky Emperor who had been demonized. The Sky Emperor was stronger than all six of these divine generals, but there were limits to his strength. He couldn't fully suppress his opponents unlike the Divine Light Emperor and thus, he was temporarily kept out of action by them. 

However, this could not change the situation significantly. 

The Ancient Ghostly Emperor had emerged from the gate of blood. 

It was a true titan. A fiendgod sovereign from another timeline, the king of the sovereigns. 

The Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster and the three other sovereigns all treated him very deferentially after he appeared, and his dark blue light spread across heaven and earth, clashing with the power of light from the Divine Light Emperor. It was as though two different oceans suddenly collided. The two powers were starkly different; one dark blue and the other silvery white. 

The Divine Light Emperor's face turned grim. 

He knew that he had finally encountered a formidable enemy. 

The battle continued. 

The Ancient Ghostly Emperor battled the Divine Light Emperor. 

Unbelievable scenes could be witnessed on the battlefield. The firmament was immediately wiped out by their divine abilities and the starry sky appeared to have enveloped the entire place. The Divine Light Emperor ultimately decided to bring the battle to space, because he was no longer able to control the remnant energy waves despite his mighty strength. If the battle dragged on with such intensity, not only would the Divine Light Court, but the entire world would be destroyed. 

"Kill!" 

The Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster charged toward the six divine generals. 

"Haha, these are the true delicacies," the Dark Purple Sovereign said with a chuckle. These six divine generals were definitely the perfect tonics to them; the more powerful they were, the higher their cultivation would be, and the more powerful the power and laws contained within their bodies would be. Thus, these six divine generals were even more suited to be eaten. 

The gigantic octopus' millions of tentacles stretched out toward the six divine generals at the same time. 

Three fiendgods from an alternate timeline started to fight for food. 

They wanted to consume them to replenish the energy lost and to heal the injuries sustained from their battle with the Divine Light Emperor. 

"Hahaha, hahahaha.... since you refuse to join me, then you should die together with him," the Sky Emperor laughed maniacally as he retreated. He used to be on rather good terms with these six divine generals, but they were extremely loyal to the Divine Light Emperor and would never agree with his beliefs and choices. Since they refused to follow him, he would rather see them die. If they continued to live, they would pose a threat to his future plans. In any case, he had already betrayed the Divine Light Emperor, so killing these comrades was nothing compared to that. 

"Launch the battle formation!" a divine general cried. 

He reached into the void and pulled out a pair of blood axes. 

Ye Qingyu found the pair of blood axes very familiar. 

"Could this be Wen Wan's ancestor?" Ye Qingyu looked at these divine general's weapons in surprise—the pair of axes he held were exactly the same as Wen Wan’s blood axes, but were far more powerful than Wen Wan's. Wisps of light flowed along the carvings of the blood ax like blood, before spreading out toward the void. A phantom totem of an ancient war god appeared behind this divine general. 

Then, Ye Qingyu saw the other divine generals drawing their weapons. 

One of these men looked a lot like Gao Diping. He was protected by flames of fire and held a long spear in his hand. Another figure appeared from the shadows; this martial expert from the shadows looked extremely familiar. 

Could the five divine generals of his time and the expert within the shadows be the descendants of these five divine generals? 

Ye Qingyu looked contemplative. 

The battle intensified. 

The six divine generals unleashed a terrifying combat power that left Ye Qingyu shocked. 

The six of them split into three groups of two, working with each other to display some kind of profound battle formation to fight the Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster and the others; they managed to hold their own against their mighty foes. Although they were suppressed by the fiendgods, they were not utterly defeated. 

It was no wonder that the Divine Light Court was a titan of this era and could effortlessly defeat all its enemies. 

Ye Qingyu could not help but exclaim in admiration. 

The Sky Emperor ignored the battle that the six divine generals were fighting and continued on his murderous rampage like a demented killing god. He killed everything he saw, destroyed their souls, and hacked their bodies into pieces. Blood and consciousness power continued to feed the four blood formations; the living souls of the Divine Light Court were like wheat on millstones, constantly being ground into pieces to become an energy that could sustain the opening of the gate of blood. It was obvious that the Sky Emperor's goal was not just for the Ancient Ghostly Emperor to enter but also the Abandoned fiendgod, the other kings and sovereigns... 

Boom! 

The gate of blood trembled violently. 

Soon, another fiendgod from an alternate timeline descended. 

It was a gigantic oddly-shaped skeleton, with white bones and formation carvings covering every piece. 

"This isn't the Abandoned fiendgod. Why hasn't he arrived yet?" the Sky Emperor seemed a little disappointed at the appearance of this white-boned sovereign, since this was not a top-level sovereign. 

However, the appearance of this white-boned sovereign was enough to break the impasse on the battlefield. After it joined forces with the other fiendgods to battle the six divine generals, the generals were immediately injured. Their blood splashed across the sky, but they continued to growl angrily and resolutely unwilling to retreat. 

"We have to hold them back." 

"His Highness will definitely come back!" 

The six divine generals were incredibly confident, since under the leadership of the Divine Light Emperor, they had managed to overcome all difficulties to turn the situation around time and time again. Moreover, they had to avenge their fallen comrades and the destruction of the Divine Light Court; being such, they continued to battle on valiantly. 

The Sky Emperor laughed coldly. 

He found their blind loyalty and determination extremely pathetic. 

He wanted to kill these six divine generals as much as he wanted the Divine Light Emperor gone. 

The energy from the blood formation was no longer contained within the Divine Light Court but started to spread outward. It instantly traveled a distance of several thousands of kilometers; all living creatures that were enveloped by this energy, and who were beneath the Saint realm were instantly turned into blood sludge. Countless forces and troops who rushed over from the distant lands were caught off-guard and suffered heavy losses. The Saint experts who barely managed to survive were ruthlessly massacred by the Sky Emperor who then fed their Saint blood into the four blood formations... 

The gate of blood was continuously expanding. 

Ye Qingyu was very worried and longed to help, but he could do nothing to stop this. 

These scenes were only shocking and impactful after he personally witnessed the fight unfolding in front of him. He wanted to turn back time to join this battle, because he knew that the world being destroyed by the sovereigns from an alternate timeline was also the same world that he lived in. 

Now that such a disastrous calamity had befallen the world, the Divine Light Emperor and his followers were no longer fighting just for their own benefit; Ye Qingyu was witnessing the ancestors of this world trying their best to protect the world and stop the bloody massacre caused by the Invaders. This battle changed the direction of history and civilization; millions of years later, this event was buried under the passage of time and forgotten by most people. 

If that bloody massacre had not been stopped, this formation martial way world would have already been destroyed by the fiendgods and sovereigns from an alternate timeline, right? 

He didn't understand why these fiendgods had risked everything to descend upon this world and what their motives were for destroying it, but the massacre they had committed would be imprinted in the bones of every living creature of the formation martial world. 

Roar! 

An angry growl rang out from the Divine Light Court. 

A figure rushed up into the sky from a divine temple that had collapsed. 

"Sky Emperor, you bastard. How dare you plot to trap me... you... what's going on? What happened to this place?" a violent roar echoed across the lands. 

This was yet another familiar voice. 

Ye Qingyu immediately knew that this was the spirit monkey battle pet. It had been known as the 'Royal Spirit' within the Divine Light Court since it was the Divine Light Emperor's pet. 

"Haha, Sun Wukong, didn't you always boast that you were more intelligent than any other creature? Yet, you still managed to fall into my trap, the [Immortal-Killing Formation]. It took you so long to break free and now it is too late. The era of the Divine Light Court is about to come to an end," the Sky Emperor said and laughed like a lunatic. 

The Royal Spirit was the most formidable creature under the Divine Light Emperor. It had not gone with the rest of the army to conquer the Cloudy Clear Sea that time, because it was the largest threat to the Sky Emperor's plan. The Royal Spirit had been tricked by the Sky Emperor; he had remained trapped by a formation and finally managed to force its way out. 

Soon, the spirit monkey battle pet Sun Wukong understood what had taken place. 

"I will kill you," it said in anger. It raised its golden magical staff and charged toward the Sky Emperor. 

The six divine generals were in dire straits and barely holding on. 

Time ticked by. 

The battle had only lasted for ten days and nights. 

At the same time, there were other Emperor-level experts from distant lands who had joined the battle. These were all sect masters of the large forces who were indebted to the Divine Light Emperor, and other experts who understood the implications of this battle. They didn't dare to stand idly by while the entire world was on the brink of collapse and attacked with all their might. They coordinated their attacks with the six divine generals and fought against the Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster, the Dark Purple Sovereign, the gigantic octopus, and the White-Boned Dictator; thus, the battle grew fiercer and more intense. 

This was a battle of a scale larger than any other battle, both in the past and the future. 

Emperors were slain and their blood splattered across the sky. 

Ye Qingyu could not describe his feelings. These were such tragic scenes from a terrifying battle, and the names of these Emperors who were slain in battle were never recorded nor remembered by anyone in the current time. Yet, at that very moment, they would have rather died than submit to these fiendgods, unleashing their brightest and most powerful willpower to resist these sovereign-level fiendgods. If he had been present during that moment, he would have made the same choice as those Emperor-level experts. 

Rumble!

The doors to the gate of blood flung open once more. 

A dark figure was projected from the gate of blood. 

It was only a projection. Still, it was enough to make all the experts on the battlefield shiver in fear. 

A figure who wasn't very large slowly appeared from the gate of blood, but unlike the other sovereigns who had struggled to emerge and unleashed abundant energy, the black figure appeared like he had floated up to the surface of a pond. There was nothing distinctive about him; his aura was calm, but he exuded a noiseless energy that turned the world that was dyed in blood, into a silent and monochromatic world. 

Abandoned Fiendgod! 

The Sky Emperor's eyes gleamed as he looked at this figure from a distance. 

The king of the sovereigns had finally arrived.
