When the Fiend Clans appeared in the eyes of the Great Thousand World once again, the flames of war descended, igniting the defensive line of the Great Thousand World.
Blood and flames had directly broken the peace that the Great Thousand World had maintained for 49,000 years.
As if they were trying to vent the rage from the suppression of the Great Thousand World, the Fiend Clans' counterattack was extremely ferocious and insane. The demonic beings were akin to locusts as a torrential demonic aura soared into the sky. It was as if they wanted to change the heavens and earth.
Facing the invasion of the Fiend Clans, the Great Thousand World, which had been preparing for several years, burst out with an intense resistance after a brief moment of silence.
Brutal battles broke out in every corner of the defensive line with demonic beings whistling as spiritual lights flickered. It was as if a grand fireworks party had unfolded between the heavens and earth.
However, those gorgeous fireworks were forged with blood.
Behind the layers of defences, a majestic city hovered in the sky with Spiritual Lustre spreading out, enveloping the defences. Under this Spiritual Lustre, the recovery of the Spiritual Energy of the lifeforms in the Great Thousand World would be faster.
This city was akin to a fortress, and it could be considered the headquarters of the Great Thousand Alliance. The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were personally stationed here to supervise the battle lines and guard against the Heavenly Evil Monarch's arrival.
The spiritual lustre coming from the city was a Spiritual Array Grandmaster, known as the Brilliant Spiritual Circulation Array. It was something that Qing Yanjing and many other Spiritual Array Grandmasters had worked together to set up. Within the range of this Spiritual Array, not only would the Spiritual Energy recovery of everyone in the Great Thousand World increase, but their strength would also increase as well.
It was also because of this Spiritual Array that the defensive line could withstand the attacks of the Fiend Clans.
At the highest point of the city, there was a majestic palace with many silhouettes standing in it. Every single one of them was emanating powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
At the front of the palace, there were two thrones with Yan Emperor and Wu Zu sitting on them. Right now, the two of them were practically the leaders of the Great Thousand World, and even the Palace Master of the Great Thousand Palace, Qin Tian, did not have any objections.
In the palace, Qin Tian, the Azure Sword Saint, True Dragon Emperor, Maha Tian, Qing Yanjing, and the Grand Elders and Patriarchs of the five Ancient Clans were all gathered here. At this moment, the pinnacle power of the Great Thousand World was gathered in this palace.
Inside the main hall, everyone had a solemn expression on their faces. Their bodies were tensed up and the Spiritual Energy around them surged.
As the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor exchanged a look, the Flame Emperor slowly said, "Everyone should know that the Fiend Clans have started their counterattack. It can be said that the life and death battle of our Great Thousand World has begun!"
When those words rang out, all the experts in the hall narrowed their eyes as a murderous aura gradually spread out.
"Yan Emperor, Wu Zu, please give the order. My Great Thousand World is willing to fight the Fiend Clans to the death!" Qin Tian cupped his fists together.
Everyone's eyes flickered with sharpness. This was a war that no one could avoid. To protect their sects, loved ones, and friends, they could only welcome the Fiend Clans with battle.
Nodding his head, Yan Emperor's voice resounded, "Everyone, heed my orders. From now on, you are to lead your subordinates to the frontlines. Every continent at the frontlines will require a Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign to guard against the Sky Monarchs of the Fiend Clans."
"Roger!"
Qin Tian and the other Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns acknowledged.
"The Fiend Clans have occupied many Lower Planes, and those Lower Planes might be connected to the Great Thousand World. Thus, form a patrol team to patrol the rear. The moment the Fiend Clans enter, we will immediately annihilate them!"
"Roger!"
An orderly roar resounded in the hall.
Looking at everyone, Wu Zu said, "Yan Emperor and I will be stationed here. This time, the two of us won't be able to interfere in this war, so we will have to rely on you guys to stabilize the situation."
"Wu Zu, why is that?"
An expert asked doubtfully. Without the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, the two strongest combatants, the battle would undoubtedly be a stalemate.
The Flame Emperor raised his head with flames blazing in his eyes. His gaze seemed to have pierced through space and looked at the unknown. "The Heavenly Evil Monarch has already locked onto the two of us, so we have to pay close attention to him."
Although Tian Xie had yet to show himself, the power that descended from the distance wasn't something that ordinary Saint Heavenly Sovereigns could bear.
Thus, both sides maintained a tacit understanding and did not make a move.
When everyone heard his words, their hearts trembled and they felt a chill spreading out. It's as if they've been locked onto by that evil gaze.
"Yan Emperor, Wu Zu, please be reassured. The Great Thousand World is a place where we live, and we're willing to fight to protect this world." The Heavenly Sovereigns solemnly said.
Under the pressure of the Fiend Clans, all the forces in the Great Thousand World had gathered together, suppressing all the grudges in the past.
Right now, the greatest enemy of the Great Thousand World was the Fiend Clans.
Several silhouettes stood by the side of the hall. Their appearances could be considered peerless, and they all had different temperaments. However, all of them were as eye-catching as the moon.
The four of them were naturally the four mistresses of the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Realm.
"This scene is really familiar."
Ling Qingzhu's beautiful eyes gazed at the great hall that was filled with a somber and desolate aura as she sighed. Their hometown had once been like this.
Beside Ling Qingzhu, Ying Huanhuan's long icy blue hair scattered down. Meanwhile, an endless cold aura gathered within her eyes. Meanwhile, she maintained her youthful appearance. In fact, she looked exactly the same as when she fought with the Yimo Emperor in the Chaotic Demon Sea a long time ago.
But at this moment, their opponent had changed from the Yimo Clan to the Fiend Clans.
"Back then, we managed to expel the Yimo Clan, and this time, we can do the same to the Fiend Clans."
Ling Qingzhu nodded slightly. Soon after, she gave Ying Huanhuan a teasing smile and said, "However, there is no need for you to make such a huge sacrifice this time around. Otherwise, where will Lin Dong go to find you?"
Ying Huanhuan's face blushed, especially when the two mistresses of the Endless Fire Territory were looking at her with smiles on their faces. Thus, she could only roll her eyes at Ling Qingzhu.
"Mother, shouldn't we do something as well?"
Suddenly, a sweet-sounding voice was heard. A slender and charming girl behind the Mistress of the Endless Fire Territory, Cai Lin, cast her beautiful eyes towards them.
It was Xiao Xiao.
"Yeah, yeah, we have to do something as well. We can't keep hiding here!"
When Xiao Xiao spoke out, another voice echoed. Lin Jing had also raised her hands in agreement as she looked at her two mothers with expectation.
The four matriarchs helplessly exchanged a glance when they saw their daughters requesting to fight. Shortly after, Xiao Xun 'er smiled. "Don't worry about it. I have already mentioned this matter to your father. From now on, the two of you will form a team with Luo Li and join the patrol team to stabilize the rear. The moment the Fiend Clans infiltrate, you must immediately get rid of them."
When Lin Jing heard her words, she blinked her eyes in disappointment. "Ah?
Stabilize the rear?
I have also broken through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, so I can go to the frontlines. "
Rolling her eyes, Ling Qingzhu said with a stern expression, "Stabilizing the rear is also an important matter. Right now, most of the Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World have rushed to the frontlines, and we have to ensure the safety of their families and friends."
Hearing her mother's words, Lin Jing could only pout her lips and did not speak any further.
Xiao Xiao nodded her head in agreement.
When the four mistresses saw that they managed to deal with the two brats, they exchanged a look and felt inwardly relieved. Even Heavenly Sovereigns could fall on the frontlines, and the two of them weren't experienced enough. So it's too dangerous for them to go there, so it's best to throw them to the rear to maintain the stability.
Although this was a battle that concerned the survival of the Great Thousand World, and they were willing to head to the frontlines to stop the enemies, as mothers, they still wanted to reduce the danger for their children. Thus, they were willing to sacrifice themselves for it.
"Oh, right. Mother, where did Mu Chen go to?
There hasn't been any news of him all these years, and it doesn't seem like his style. "
Lin Jing's gaze swept around the hall. With Mu Chen's fame, it's impossible for him to be absent. Furthermore, that fellow's ability to stir up trouble wasn't weak, and it's simply unbelievable that he had been silent all these years.
Hearing Lin Jing's question, Xiao Xiao also directed her gaze over. She was naturally concerned about this friend of hers, but only a few people knew about Mu Chen, and the occasional rumors couldn't be fully trusted.
When the four mistresses heard his words, their faces turned grave. They clearly had a clearer understanding of the situation, so they knew how important Mu Chen was to this calamity.
"Don't worry about it. When he reappears, the entire Great Thousand World will rejoice. We all hope that he can succeed."
After issuing the orders, Emperor Yan and Wu Zu stood up and looked at everyone before their voices resounded.
"The Fiend Clans want to occupy our land!"
"And we will tell them that what awaits them is only blades and swords, blood and fire!"
