With the forbidden formation collapsing, a devastating divine power was unleashed, which almost destroyed the entire Yinyang Sea.
Even a Supreme Saint-level powerhouse would have been annihilated in an instant if they were to resist the force head-on.
“Gasp…”
Thousands of miles away, many powerhouses of the four great ancient civilizations and Skydragon Realm could not help but gasp.
No one had thought that after the forbidden formation was destroyed that it would unleash such terrifying power. This kind of power, even Ao Xukong, and the Jinyang Twin Kings would inevitably tremble before it.
“Thankfully Brother Ao had the foresight, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.”
A look of fear appeared in the eyes of the Supreme Master.
Although they still had some trump cards up their sleeves, but should they receive such a terrifying blow at close range, massive casualties would have been inevitable.
Retreating early was indeed a very wise choice.
A glint appeared in the eyes of Heavenly Scion Yanyang’s eyes as he said. “If this power can wipe out the Infernal Court’s army, then all of the treasures in the temple will be ours. The Infernal Court has paid a dear price, but only to our benefit.”
Judging from the current situation, it was not that there was no such possibility. If that was true, the gods of the Infernal Court would be puking blood out of rage.
Boooom!!!
Monstrous waves struck and caused the five massive battleships to toss about violently.
Even when so far away, there was still a devastating shock wave that could kill a Saint King.
Fortunately, the five battleships were extraordinary as many Supreme Saint inscriptions appeared on them. They covering the battleships and smoothly resisted all of the shock waves, preventing any casualties.
The hidden dimension that Zhang Ruochen and the others were hiding in was closer to the True Dragon Island. It was only a few thousand miles away, and the impact was undoubtedly even more brutal.
Fortunately, all of them were top-level powerhouses, and they were mighty. Hence, they were not afraid of the shock wave.
While taking action to ward off the shock wave, Zhang Ruochen and the rest were also paying close attention to the sea region’s situation before them. They too hoped that this destructive power could severely damage or even annihilate the Infernal Court army.
Baaam!!
After persisting for a while, the Dark Barrier finally unraveled.
The nine dragon souls were instant ripped to shreds, and even the nine divine dragon bones in them were rapidly disintegrating, before finally turning into powder and drifted away in the wind.
At the moment the Dark Barrier burst, dark divine inscriptions appeared on all seven warships of the Infernal Court, densely intertwining with one another, forming a powerful defensive web.
“For them to inscribe so many divine inscriptions on each warship… The Infernal Court came prepared,” Ao Xinyan said solemnly.
Such a result was definitely not what she wanted to see.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Get ready. We must make landfall on the island as soon as possible. We cannot afford to fall behind.”
Since it was no longer possible to stop the Infernal Court army from landing on the True Dragon Island, then they could only fight them on the island itself.
Unlike in the past, they did not need to face the Infernal Court army head-on this time. As long as they could keep the Key to the World Gate safe, their mission would be considered successful.
Of course, the matter was easier said than done. It was extremely difficult to accomplish. What they had to face was not just the Infernal Court’s army but also the army of the four ancient civilizations and the Skydragon Realm.
There were less than twenty of them, and the gulf in numbers was just too great. It made them feel extremely pressured.
However, with things as they were, it was impossible for them to retreat. They could only throw everything they had into the fray now and fight for the Kunlun Realm’s future.
Boom!
Suddenly, another powerful destructive divine power erupted from the True Dragon Island.
At this point, the forbidden formation guarding the True Dragon Island had completely collapsed and ceased to exist.
Nevertheless, in the face of the divine power’s impact, the divine inscriptions on the Infernal Court’s warships were instantly damaged, and parts of the ships’ hulls were exposed.
Although the materials used to build the ship were no ordinary material, they were unable to withstand the destructive power, and as soon as they made contact, the ship broke apart.
“Arrrghhhh!!!”
Some of the Infernal Court powerhouses could not react in time, and they were instantly engulfed by the divine power, leaving behind only cries of despair.
“Strike now!”
The Son of Darkness growled as he deployed a black bone mirror.
The bone mirror was as smooth as jade, and upon being roused by the power of darkness, a series of naturally-formed secret runes bloomed in dazzling divine light, blocking the destructive power.
The Bone Clan’s three emperors and twelve lords, the Fane of the Nether’s Seven Top Killers, and the others did not hesitate as they used their powerful weapons or secret treasures. They unleashed their strongest forces to ward off the remnant of the destructive power.
After a long while, the destructive power was fully vented, and the sea gradually returned to calm.
The Infernal Court’s seven warships were still floating on the sea, not destroyed. However, all of them were ruined because they were seriously damaged, with one of them suffering two-thirds damage.
Even though the Son of Darkness and the rest took action in time, the Infernal Court army still suffered many casualties, a large number of Saint Kings lost their lives and many more injured.
Seeing the heavy casualties, the Son of Darkness could not help but frown slightly. It was quite the deviation from what he had expected.
He immediately stretched his brows again as he cast his gaze on the revealed True Dragon Island.
Regardless, they have successfully broken the forbidden formation, and the plan was now half-realized. Paying some price was still worth it.
Fiery gazes appeared in the eyes of many of the Infernal Court’s powerhouses, as they saw countless powerful treasures on the island beckoning at them.
Of course, what they care most about was the Key of the World Gate. Once they had seized that, they will be able to accomplish an immortal feat, and upon returning to the Infernal Court, be richly rewarded by the gods.
“What bullsh*t forbidden grounds. It still failed to stop the march of our army,” Si Buxiu said disdainfully.
A sneer appeared in Xuese Lianyi’s gaze as he smiled. “It won’t before the Kunlun Realm becomes history. The destruction of an Eternal World should make the Celestial Court tremble, right?
To the Infernal Court, the destruction of an Eternal World was more valuable than the destruction of a hundred ordinary worlds.
After all, how many Eternal Words were there in the entire universe?
“Disembark.”
The Son of Darkness gave the order indifferently.
Whoosh!
The many powerhouses of the Infernal Court made their move, as they all flew out from the warships, and swept towards the True Dragon Island like a tide of beasts.
Without the forbidden formation, the True Dragon Island could no longer hold back the march of the Infernal Court army.
In a few mere moments, the mighty Infernal Court army had all landed on the island.

At this moment, the warships of the four ancient civilizations and Skydragon Realm were rushing over quickly and appeared at the fringe waters of the True Dragon Island.
Although the Infernal Court army had noticed them, that did not stop the latter’s advance. They had no intentions of clashing with the four ancient civilizations and the Skydragon Realm at that moment.
“The Infernal Court is indeed capable to be able to destroy such a powerful formation. Men of the Yanyang Civilization, come with me and seize the hundred million-year treasures of the Shenlong Clan.” Heavenly Scion Yanyang raised his hand, looking very energetic.
From the beginning, Heavenly Scion Yanyang had been the most proactive when it came to seizing the treasures of True Dragon Island, acting no different than the Infernal Court.
With the Jinyang Twin Kings by his side, Heavenly Scion Yanyang had no fear as he led the pack onto the island.
Behind them, many of the powerhouses of Yangyang Civilization darted out one after another.
Immediately after, the powerhouses from the Beidou Civilization and the Wushen Civilization followed suit. The Thousand Star Civilization and the Skydragon Realm, however, were not in the hurry, and they moved slowly.
“The Kunlun Realm has reached a critical juncture of life and death. I wonder if it can survive this catastrophe.” Fairy Linglong sighed.
Ao Xukong pondered slightly and said, “We listen to fate and do our best. The key to everything likes in the Key of the World Gate. Everything else is irrelevant.”
“Big Brother, with the Kunlun Realm being so chaotic now, why did Father get the Skydragon Realm into this mess?” Fairy Linglong was puzzled.
Ao Xukong showed a contemplative expression before he said, “Since Father has arranged it this way, there must be a deeper meaning to it. We just need to do our best.”
Hearing this, Fairy Linglong could not help but nod slightly. At that point, it was useless to overthink things.
Seeing the powerhouses of the Thousand Star Civilization making landfall on the island, the Skydragon Realm’s own elites no longer dithered as they quickly followed suit.
Inside the hidden dimensional passage, Zhang Ruochen and the others watched as the armies of both forces landed on the island. Everyone was silent and their hearts extremely heavy.
Faced with the situation, all of them were filled with anger and bitterness. Yet, they could not do anything because the numbers they had were simply insufficient to stop the intruders.
It was a shame that the devastating power unleashed by the formation’s destruction had only wiped out a small portion of the Infernal Court army. It was far from a serious blow. Moreover, none of their top elites had suffered as much as a scratch, and that was very disappointing.
“Let’s begin.”
Ao Xinyan spoke, breaking the silence.
Corpse Emperor Tianming took out the Talisman of Destiny and simultaneously said, “Zhang Ruochen, strike as hard as you can. Both Death Zen and I shall cover your bases.”
As he spoke, Corpse Emperor Tianming had already roused the Talisman of Destiny, releasing an incomparably strange aura that seemed to be in tune with the Kunlun Realm.
This talisman had been forged by coalescing Corpse Emperor Tianming’s Imperial Fortune during the establishment of the central empire. It was closely related to the Kunlun Realm’s fortune.
Elder Patriarch Death Zen summoned the divine war corpses and used the Death Zen Dharmic techniques to drive them. A series of strange divine powers was then released, which interfered with the natural secrets of the sea region.
After all these years of sacrifices and refinement, the war corpse had undoubtedly become even stronger, and they could unleash devastating combat power.
Upon seeing the divine war corpses, the eyes of the Awakened Ones unwittingly revealed astonishment.
Even when they fall, the gods were not beings that one could offend at will. So when Elder Death Zen could drive a divine war corpse, it was extremely incredible.
At that moment, Ao Xinyan also made her move, as the Silver Shenlong Armor on her body shone with bright divine light. The power of the land and the precepts of heaven and earth in the Yinyang Sea converged towards her as the dark clouds that had already parted appeared once again, and this time, they were even denser, blinding all perceptions.
When Zhang Ruochen saw it, he did not say anything else as he took out the Secret Tome of Time and Space. Then he created a multi-dimensional space and kept all of the Awakened Ones within.
After that, Zhang Ruochen quickly formed a wondrous mudra seal with both hands, and mobilized the precepts of time and space, unleashing a powerful power of time and power of space.
Hummm…
A slight ripple appeared in space as a miniature shadow of a river of time appeared, circling the Secret Tome of Time and Space. It made it seem like the tome was on another plane of dimension.
Using such methods to conceal the aura of the Awakened, coupled with the assistance of Ao Xinyan, Corpse Emperor Tianming, and Elder Sichan, no matter how powerful the gods of the Infernal Court were, they should not be able to sense the existence of the Awakened.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen had thought of keeping them in his Qiankun Realm. This should be the safest way as the Infernal Court Gods could at most detect a realm within his body, but never know what was inside it.
However, Ao Xinyan told him that the True Dragon Island was extremely bizarre, and with his current strength, if he were to enter it, he might not be able to open the World Gate of Qiankun Realm.
In desperation, he had to think of other ways.
Everything was now ready, and Zhang Ruochen no longer hesitated as he darted out the dimension passage, and appeared above the misty seas.
In an instant, Zhang Ruochen felt the existence of the divine will of the Infernal Court Gods, which was so obscure that most would not have been able to detect it at all.
These divine will were intertwined like a web, covering a large area of the sea and any creature who enters the True Dragon Island will not escape detection.
The gods of the Infernal Court seemed to be deliberately sensing for something.
Zhang Ruochen became even more cautious as he roused the Path of Time and Path of Dimension to the maximum, and at the same time activated the Armor of the Fire God, unleashing series of divine power to envelop himself, isolating him from all forms of detection.
After flashing a few times in a row, Zhang Ruochen had finally appeared on True Dragon Island smoothly.
In this process, even though the divine will had swept over him, but it did not stop, and seemingly did not notice anything.
And seeing Zhang Ruochen successfully making landfall, Ao Xinyan, Blackie, Corpse Emperor Tianming and Elder Patriarch Death Zen delayed no longer as they immediately followed behind.
“The True Dragon Island really is special. It can completely block the divine will of the Infernal Court Gods.” Zhang Ruochen whispered.
As he spoke, he took out the Secret Tome of Time and Space and released all of the Awakened.
The moment he entered the island, he no longer had to worry about being exposed.
In the great battle 100,000 years ago, the True Dragon Island came under a frenzied attack by the Infernal Court, and it could be said that it had went through a cataclysmic apocalypse, and even the most sacred Shenlong Temple was shattered.
Even now, the True Dragon Island was a barren, desolate land, with dark aura emanating all over it, never dissipating.
Seeing such a scene, Blackie could not help but to hiss angrily. “The damned Infernal Court, for them to turn the holy ground of the Shenlong clan into this, and now they dare to have ideas about the Shenlong Temple and the Key of the World Gate. This infuriates me, I shall kill a few Infernal Court top elites to vent off this anger.”
Ao Xinyan’s gaze kept changing, from anger to sorrow, and more so a sense of powerlessness. The Shenlong clan of the past were so powerful, yet they still could not keep the Shenlong Temple safe. The foes they faced were too terrifying, so much so that it brought despair upon them.
However, since the seniors of ages yore of Kunlun Realm did not give up, and fought so desperately to defend Kunlun Realm, they could not give up hope, and let their blood flow in vain.
Quicky recollecting herself, Ao Xinyan said. “The Infernal Court army, and the army of the four ancient civilizations and Skydragon Realm have all rushed to the Shenlong Temple. We must also hurry.”
Hearing this Zhang Ruochen could not help but to take out the Secret Tome of Time and Space out as he prepared to release all of the Awakened. Now that they were on the True Dragon Island, there was no need to worry about being exposed.
However, at this very moment, Zhang Ruochen suddenly tensed up as the hairs all over his body sprang up.
Not only Zhang, even Blackie and Elder Patriarch Death Zen’s eyes also changed slightly, vaguely sensing a dangerous aura.
“There’s danger, spread out.”
Zhang Ruochen said telepathically in secret.
Whooosh!
The moment Zhang Ruochen sent a telepathic message, a long spear, carrying power enough to rip the land apart suddenly fell from the sky like a falling star, seemingly unstoppable.
AT the same time, an extremely condensed tri-colored Nether Lightning burst out from the voice, and instantly appeared next to Elder Patriarch Death Zen.
BOOM!
The spear was unstoppable, and even when the True Dragon Island was very powerful, a radius of tens of miles were still shattered by the impact.
The power of the tri-colored Nether Lightning too was extremely terrifying, causing the earth and rocks within a radius of dozens of miles to collapse and disappear into thin air.
When the destructive power dissipated, a deep pit with a radius of dozens of miles wide appeared reaching hundreds of feet deep.
If one was in the epicenter, even the top-most sacred artifacts would have been blasted to broken metal.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen and the others were standing hundreds of miles away from the pit, their eyes extremely grim. If they had not reacted quickly enough and take the attacks from the spear and the tri-colored Nether Lightning, they would have been injured if not dead.
And at this very instant, seven figures appeared out of thin air, occupying different positions as they encircled Zhang Ruochen and the others.
At the center of the seven, a dark lotus with seven petals emerged, emitting an extremely terrifying energy signature. As it slowly rotated, the surrounding vital qi of the land gathered over in a frenzy.
“The Fane of the Nether’s Seven Top Killers.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes suddenly became grim.
For the Fane of the Nether’s famous Seven Top Killers to lay in wait deliberately to ambush him… It was something he had totally not expected.
“Zhang Ruochen, Elder Patriarch Death Zen, you two sure are brave that you dare to set foot on True Dragon Island. Your alertness is commendable, but you will not escape death.”
Si Buxiu’s eyes were cold as his body exuded a potent murderous intent.
His eyes was fixed on Zhang Ruochen and Elder Patriarch Death Zen. As for Blackie, Ao Xinyan and Corpse Emperor Tianming, they were straight-up ignored.
