The battle had temporarily come to an end. News of what had happened here quickly spread back to Sacred Peak Divine Domain and Myriad Heavens Divine Domain, and could even be said to have shocked the entire Outer Divine Domain.
The Three Realms Divine Domain had completely wiped out the invaders from the two major Divine Domains!
This meant that two third-grade Divine Domains had actually lost to a mere first-grade Divine Domain. If word got out, it would be laughable beyond belief.
No one would have imagined that a tiny first-grade Divine Domain could suppress two third-grade Divine Domains. It sounded utterly unbelievable—but the facts were right there, leaving no choice but to believe it!
While shocking the other Divine Domains, it also triggered a massive upheaval within Myriad Heavens Divine Domain and Sacred Peak Divine Domain.
One after another, the externally invited experts slammed the tables and rose in fury. Killing intent instantly filled the great hall, causing the guards at the side to tremble uncontrollably, completely unable to withstand that oppressive aura.
"Unthinkable—we actually lost! Our Myriad Heavens Divine Domain lost to a first-grade Divine Domain. This is a humiliation!"
"That's right. Activate the second plan immediately. Since we can't have it, we'll settle for second best and choose a puppet Divine Domain as the focal point!"
"Agreed. No time to waste—mobilize everyone at once!"
All the external support forces of Myriad Heavens Divine Domain immediately mobilized in full, without holding anything back. Sacred Peak Divine Domain was treated like a discarded chess piece—everything was abandoned, with not a single powerful expert left stationed there.
This meant that if a strong enemy invaded, Sacred Peak Divine Domain would inevitably be occupied. Originally, Domain Lord Myriad Heavens had already led all their core experts out, leaving behind only these powerful external reinforcements.
Now that even those reinforcements had left, the strongest remaining cultivators were merely Earth Monarchs. Any casual arrival of a Heavenly Monarch would be enough to easily occupy the place. In the end, it would be a bitter irony.
Not only Myriad Heavens Divine Domain, but Sacred Peak Divine Domain also erupted into chaos.
"It's the external forces from Heavenly Venerable Vast Horizon's side!"
"So the Three Realms Divine Domain actually has ties with Heavenly Venerable Vast Horizon! Damn it—I should've thought of that guy earlier!"
"But wasn't Heavenly Venerable Vast Horizon seriously injured by Heavenly Venerable Godslayer? Can he still interfere in the Divine Domain War?"
"No idea. But in the Inner Divine Domain, he's always been opposing us. Since that's the case, we won't hold back anymore—no matter the cost, we'll wipe out the Three Realms Divine Domain!"
"Activate the second plan. Let another Divine Domain take this qualification!"
The experts of Sacred Peak Divine Domain were even more enraged. From the intelligence brought back by their scouts, they immediately recognized Heavenly Venerable Sword Division and the others.
Soon after, all the experts of Sacred Peak Divine Domain mobilized as well. Just like Myriad Heavens Divine Domain, they directly abandoned Sacred Peak Divine Domain itself. It had to be said—they were decisive to the extreme, discarding it without the slightest hesitation.
To them, anything without value was to be thrown away entirely, without any reservation. Just like Myriad Heavens Divine Domain, it instantly became a disposable pawn, cast aside without mercy.
With such large-scale mobilization, experts gathered like clouds, all charging toward the Three Realms Divine Domain.
On the Three Realms side, preparations were also complete. All experts gathered together, expressions solemn, ready for battle at any moment.
"When the time comes, a massive wave of powerful enemies will definitely attack," Heavenly Venerable Li Tian said in a deep voice. "Junior Brother, you must be prepared. Casualties will be unavoidable. All we can do is hold the Three Realms Divine Domain and seize final victory. Only then can we avoid betraying those who fall in battle…"
"I understand," Yi Tianyun nodded. "But I'll still try."
A vast number of experts charging in—it was unrealistic to expect zero casualties. Even so, he would strive to minimize losses as much as possible. He wanted to challenge himself, not simply resign to fate.
Heavenly Venerable Li Tian said nothing more, only shaking his head. He could only sigh that Yi Tianyun had seen too little. He had never seen anyone win a Divine Domain War with zero casualties.
In truth, victory itself was already enough—casualties were often considered acceptable.
At this moment, the Three Realms Divine Domain was eerily quiet, like the calm before a storm. At any moment, it could erupt. Everyone felt intense tension in their hearts as a stifling atmosphere spread all around.
"They're here," Heavenly Venerable Li Tian said gravely.
Soon, a massive surge of terrifying power tore through space ahead, followed by one Heavenly Venerable after another appearing before their eyes. The lowest cultivation among them was mid-level Heavenly Venerable, while the highest had reached high-level Heavenly Venerable—though only at the early stage. None were at the mid-stage.
In an instant, eight Heavenly Venerables appeared, all at mid-level or above! The scene was truly terrifying. So many powerful beings appearing at once caused space itself to twist and distort, on the verge of collapse.
Everyone's expressions darkened. This was the power of external support!
Eight Heavenly Venerables at mid-level or above—their combined strength overwhelmingly surpassed the Heavenly Venerables on Yi Tianyun's side.
Yi Tianyun's side had two mid-level Heavenly Venerables and one high-level Heavenly Venerable.
The enemy had seven mid-level Heavenly Venerables and one high-level Heavenly Venerable!
The high-level Heavenly Venerables were evenly matched, but the difference in mid-level Heavenly Venerables was enormous—they were completely outmatched.
The disparity in power was immediately evident. In terms of external reinforcements, the enemy still held the absolute advantage.
At the same time they appeared, Sacred Peak Divine Domain was officially removed from the Divine Domain War. They could no longer participate and would have to wait for the next round. Participating further would be considered a violation—and violations would be judged!
Of course, this had nothing to do with the experts from the Inner Divine Domain. They did not belong here, so the rules did not restrict them. It felt extremely unfair—but since when was the world ever fair?
"As expected, you are disciples under Heavenly Venerable Vast Horizon," said Heavenly Venerable Chi Xiang, staring coldly at Heavenly Venerable Li Tian and the others. "Does your Vast Horizon Divine Sect intend to take part in this Divine Domain War?"
"This has nothing to do with the Vast Horizon Divine Sect," Heavenly Venerable Li Tian replied flatly. "We chose to participate of our own accord. Is there a problem with that?"
"Bullshit!" Heavenly Venerable Chi Xiang sneered coldly. "That excuse might fool a three-year-old, but you think you can fool us? Regardless of your motives, we are enemies in the Inner Divine Domain—and the same applies here! I'd like to see just how capable the disciples of the Vast Horizon Divine Sect really are!"
Just as they were about to engage in battle, the space to the side suddenly twisted. A group of figures tore through the void and descended nearby. On the opposite side, another eight Heavenly Venerables appeared—once again consisting of seven mid-level Heavenly Venerables and one high-level Heavenly Venerable.
Now, a total of sixteen Heavenly Venerables had gathered within the Three Realms Divine Domain.
It was enough to make anyone tremble. Normally, even seeing a single Heavenly Venerable was rare. Now, sixteen super-powerful Heavenly Venerables—most of them mid-level—had appeared at once. The sight was truly terrifying.
