The tranquil, pitch-black void. This was an empty expanse within the Yinn-Yang Immortal Domain. A radius of a thousand miles, almost entirely devoid of life. It seemed utterly desolate.
No one was willing to venture into this desolate void. It was said that a great battle had once erupted here. After the battle, this place was left in such a state. Complete and utter desolation.
"Crack."
No one knew how much time had passed. In this empty void, cracks began to appear, as if it were glass. These were not spatial ripples nor was it the shattering of the void. Rather, it was as if the void was being annihilated. A strange wave began to spread from the fissures.
"Boom."
Finally, the void shattered. A thick, dense black mist spread throughout the void. The moment this black mist appeared, the entire Divine Realm began to tremble violently.
As if encountering some colossal threat. The laws of the Divine Realm even attempted to suppress this black mist. Yet, the mist was too abundant. It continuously spread from the void into the Divine Realm.
"Buzz."
Eventually, as the black mist reached a certain density, it abruptly condensed into a colossal giant, hundreds of thousands of meters tall, with horns resembling those of an ox.
This giant stood in the void, its gaze cold and indifferent. The black mist appeared to be a force entirely different from the Divine Realm. It could even counter the laws of the Divine Realm.
"So this is the Divine Realm? Finally, I've caught you. This time, your stronghold has been found by me. The entire Divine Realm will become my nourishment!"
The giant, shrouded in black mist, spoke as if shaking the void with its voice.
"Buzz."
In the next moment, one after another, spatial ripples appeared. One by one, powerful entities manifested. Entities far surpassing Martial Ancestors and True Immortals.
If some ancient Martial Ancestor or True Immortals saw these figures, they would be utterly shocked. For these figures were none other than the Supremes, lofty and elusive.
These Supremes were not just one. But several Supremes appeared.
"This is... an extra-dimensional being. Who are you? Our Divine Realm has not offended other dimensional beings. Who are you to invade the Divine Realm?"
These Supremes recognized at a glance that the other party was an extra-dimensional being. The Divine Realm was an ordinary realm. Only the Supremes and some top-tier Martial Ancestors and True Immortals knew this.
In the vast chaos, countless realms were birthed. Within each realm, different forms of life and cultivation systems emerged.
"I am the Dark Demon Lord! You may not have encountered me. But your Radiant Supreme knows of me. Thanks to the Radiant Supreme, I have found your Divine Realm."
"Whoosh."
At that moment, another figure appeared in the void. It was a radiant light, dazzling beyond compare. It was the Radiant Supreme!

"Dark Demon Lord? How did you find this place? Damn it, did you use some means to track me?"
The Radiant Supreme was furious. In the vast chaos, each realm was essentially concealed.
Ordinarily, other beings could not find them unless meticulously searched or by tracking some Supreme stronghold.
Clearly, the Dark Demon Lord had done just that. Using some special method, he tracked the Radiant Supreme to the Divine Realm.
"Radiant Supreme, you ruined my plans in the Boro Domain. Did you think I would not respond? So, enjoy your remaining time. My Dark Demon army will soon march upon your Divine Realm, hahaha..."
"Kill!"
The Radiant Supreme struck instantly. The other three Supremes also joined in. In an instant, they pulverized the body of the Dark Demon Lord into dust. Even the shattered void restored itself.
It seemed as though nothing had changed around them. As if everything that had just happened was an illusion. But everyone knew, it was no illusion. It was a real event. And the Divine Realm was in great danger. Its location had been exposed. They had been targeted by an extra-dimensional stronghold.
As for the Dark Demon Lord, it was merely a projection. His true body was still within the chaos, separated by countless realms.
"Radiant Supreme, who exactly is this extra-dimensional being?"
"Yes, how did we provoke this extra-dimensional being?"
"The Boro Domain, isn't that where the Radiant Supreme recently traveled?"
Many Supremes' gazes fixated on the Radiant Supreme. They sought to understand the full story.
The Radiant Supreme's face darkened. In a deep voice, he said, "The being just now was the Dark Demon Lord, hailing from the Dark Demon Domain. He is the Ruler of the Dark Demon Domain! We once crossed paths in the Boro Domain. The Dark Demon Lord sought to enslave the Boro Domain, which I thwarted. Thus, he tracked me here. Now, our Divine Realm is in trouble. The Dark Demon Lord's army is terrifying, and he commands many Supremes as well..."
Hearing the Radiant Supreme's words, everyone fell silent. The Dark Demon Lord was a Ruler, a being of above Supreme!
In fact, the realm of a Ruler is equivalent to that of a Supreme. There is no essential difference between the two. In the vast chaos, a Ruler's power is not significantly different from that of a Supreme. The only distinction is that a Ruler is the overlord of a realm.
Within that realm, they can wield the realm's power, easily suppressing Supremes. Thus, the Dark Demon Lord could wield all the power of the Dark Demon Domain.
And what of the other Supremes? They dared not invade the Dark Demon Domain. Once they did, the Ruler could suppress them instantly. Having a Ruler in a realm meant it was nearly invincible.
For the Dark Demon Lord to grow stronger, he had to continually enslave other realms. Devouring other realms, turning them into nourishment for the Dark Demon Domain.
The stronger the Dark Demon Domain, the stronger the Dark Demon Lord became. It was for this reason that the Dark Demon Lord acted so recklessly, wanting to invade the Divine Realm.
Listening to the Radiant Supreme, everyone grew silent.
"Radiant Supreme, by what you say, our Divine Realm is indeed in great trouble."
"Indeed, with just us Supremes, we might not be a match for the Dark Demon Lord."
"Once the invasion begins, our Divine Realm will be on the defensive."
"Moreover, many Supremes are not in the Divine Realm. We must notify them, come together, and find a way to survive this calamity."
"If the Divine Realm is devoured by the Dark Demon Lord, many of us Supremes will become rootless drifters."
"Unfortunately, our Divine Realm has never birthed a Ruler. Despite having so many Supremes, none have become Rulers..."
For a moment, many Supremes had numerous plans. But lacking a Ruler was the Divine Realm's greatest weakness. Thus, one by one, the Supremes departed to make arrangements.
The war might come soon.

"The essence of Martial Ancestor lies in the Great Dao! Yet, to elevate my World Dao is as hard as ascending to the heavens. I can only enhance the world's level. But enhancing the world's level requires the birth of life within it. This takes an incredibly long time."
Lin Fei was in a secluded chamber. He frowned deeply. After achieving Martial Ancestor, his cultivation had stagnated. He couldn't advance further.
The only way was to wait for a long time. Wait for the world to birth life.
At this moment, Lin Fei suddenly heard a voice: "Lin Fei, hasten to the Ancient Covenant headquarters. The Supreme has emerged, summoning all Martial Ancestors and True Immortals of the Ancient Covenant."
It was the voice of the Great Dream Ancestor.
"A summons from the Supreme?"
Lin Fei was startled. The elusive Supremes were summoning all True Immortals and Martial Ancestor. Clearly, something significant had occurred. Yet, he didn't know what it was. But the chance to see a Supreme...
Lin Fei immediately left his cave and flew towards the Ancient Covenant headquarters.
