When the people of the Great Thousand World saw the Extraterritorial Race again, it was when the war had broken out at the Great Thousand World’s border. Blood and fire took away the peace that the Great Thousand World had enjoyed for the past 49,000 years.

The Extraterritorial Race’s attacks were savage, without any mercy. They seemed to be releasing the anger that they had been holding onto from the oppression that they had received from the Great Thousand World. The Demonic Shadows whooshed across the border like grasshoppers, and strong Demonic Energy shot up into the sky. The Extraterritorial Race seemed determined to take over the Great Thousand World.

The Great Thousand World had been preparing themselves for the past few years, and after a moment of silence, fought back fiercely in the face of the Extraterritorial Race’s attacks.

War broke out at every point along the defensive line. As the Demonic Shadows whooshed all over the area, spiritual light flashed as well. It was as if the area were holding a grand fireworks party. However, the beautiful fireworks were formed by blood.

A towering city hung in the sky behind the layers of strong defense. Spiritual light spread out and engulfed all the defensive lines, and under the protection of the spiritual light, the people of the Great Thousand World recovered their spiritual energy at a faster rate.

The fortress-like city was the headquarters of the Great Thousand World Alliance. In the fortress, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were watching over the battlefront, and at the same time, they were guarding against the Heavenly Evil Deity’s attack.

Spiritual light surrounded the city in the form of an Ancestral Master Spiritual Array known as the Sun Circulatory Array. Qing Yanjing and several other Spiritual Array Ancestral Masters had worked together to set up the array. As long as the people in the Great Thousand World were in the array, they could recover their spiritual energy in the shortest possible time, and their power would be greatly enhanced. It was a great wartime weapon. It was due to this array that the defense team could hang on under the Extraterritorial Race’s continuous attack.

A big hall stood at the top of the city, and several people were currently standing in the hall. Each of them exuded strong spiritual energy fluctuations. At the front of the hall, two thrones were placed side by side, and the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were sitting on the thrones. The two of them had a grim look on their faces. They were basically the leaders of the Great Thousand World at the moment, and even Qin Tian, who was the Master of the Great Thousand Palace, had no objection to it.

Qin Tian, the Green Shirt Sword Saint, the Real Dragon Emperor, Maha Tian, Qing Yanjing, the First Elders, and the clan leaders of the five main ancient clans were standing in the hall. Even those old demons who had been living in seclusion had come out and gathered with them. Basically, the most powerful people in the Great Thousand World had gathered in the hall.

Although all the masters had come together, they had a grave look on their faces. Their bodies were tense, and the spiritual energy around them surged intensely.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked at each other, and the Flame Emperor opened his mouth and said, “All of you know by now that the Extraterritorial Race has started to fight back. That is to say, the war that determines whether our Great Thousand World will continue to survive or perish has started.”

After the Flame Emperor had made the statement, all the masters in the hall squinted, and an immense killing intent filled up the area. Qin Tian said in a deep voice as he cupped his fist at the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, “Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, please pass down the order. Our Great Thousand World is ready to fight with the Extraterritorial Race!”

The rest of them had a sharp look in their eyes. Since they could not avoid the war, they would fight it out with the Extraterritorial Race in order to protect their sects, family, and friends.

The Flame Emperor nodded, and his cold voice resounded in the hall, saying, “All lords, listen up. From now on, gather the top powers who are under your care and rush over to the battlefront. There must be a master who is at the later stage of the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level at every continent in the front line. This is to guard yourselves against the Heaven Demon Emperors from the Extraterritorial Race.”

“Yes, sir!” Qin Tian and many masters at the later stage of the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level replied.

“The Extraterritorial Race has taken over much of the Lower Planes, and the Lower Planes may be connected to the internal region of our Great Thousand World. Form a patrol team and check around. If you discover any of the Extraterritorial Race, kill them immediately!”

The masters in the main hall shouted in unison, “Yes, sir!”

The Martial Ancestor looked at all of them in the hall and said calmly, “The Flame Emperor and I will stay here. This time around, the two of us are unable to take part in the battle for the time being, and we will have to depend on you to hold the fort.”

Some of the masters looked baffled and asked, “Martial Ancestor, why can’t the two of you join us?” Without those two superpowers, it seemed as though it would be tough for them to win the war.

The Flame Emperor lifted up his head, and his eyes burned with fire. He seemed to be piercing through the void, and he fixed his gaze on a spot and said, “The Heavenly Evil Deity is eyeing the two of us somewhere out there, and we have to look out for him as well.”

Although the Heavenly Evil Deity had not revealed himself, with their attainments, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor could already feel his power, even though he was far away. The power was so mighty, that even ordinary Divine Heavenly Sovereigns would not be able to withstand it. Thus, the two of them had agreed not to strike yet.

When all of them heard what the Flame Emperor had said, they were shocked. They immediately felt a chill down their spines as though they had been eyed by a pair of evil eyes in the void.

The Heavenly Sovereigns said grimly, “Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, don’t worry. The Great Thousand World is where all of us live. In order to protect it, we will do our best to fight with the Extraterritorial Race.”

Under the great oppression from the Extraterritorial Race, all the powerful masters in the Great Thousand World had gathered together in unity. They had put aside all their grudges and focused on dealing with the situation together. There was only one arch-enemy in the Great Thousand World, and that was the Extraterritorial Race.

Several ladies were standing to one side in the hall. They were rare beauties, and they possessed different dispositions. All of them looked captivating and firm. Four of them were the Queens of the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Border.

“This setting looks so familiar.” Ling Qingzhu sighed as she looked at the hall that was filled with immense killing intent. Back at their hometown, she had seen the same setting.

Ying Huanhuan was beside Ling Qingzhu. She let down her long, icy blue hair, and her eyes were cold. She still looked very young. She had maintained the same youthful look when she fought with the Strange Demon Emperor at the Chaotic Demon Ocean a long time ago. However, their current enemy was no longer the Strange Demon Race but the horrifying Extraterritorial Race.

“Back then, we were able to chase the Strange Demon Race out, and this time around, we will be able to get the Extraterritorial Race out of the Great Thousand World as well.”

Ling Qingzhu nodded and then teased Ying Huanhuan, saying, “However, this time around, you do not have to make such a great sacrifice. Otherwise, Lin Dong will have to search around for you to bring you back!”

Ying Huanhuan suddenly blushed, and she glared at Ling Qingzhu when she saw that the two Queens of the Endless Fire Territory were looking at her with smiles on their faces.

Suddenly, a sweet voice was heard asking, “Mother, what can we do?” A slender figure behind Cai Lin, the Queen of the Endless Fire Territory, stepped out as she looked at them. She looked sweet and charming. She was none other than Xiao Xiao.

“That’s right! We want to contribute as well. We cannot be hiding here all the time!” Another lady spoke out the moment Xiao Xiao posed the question. It was Lin Jing. She agreed with Xiao Xiao, and she was looking at her two mothers.

The four queens looked at their daughters and then looked at each other helplessly when they saw that their daughters were so eager to be involved in the battle. Xiao Xun’er then smiled and said gently, “Don’t worry. Earlier, I spoke to your fathers about getting you involved, and they have agreed that from now on, the two of you and Luo Li will form a patrol team to make sure that everything is fine at the rear. If you see anyone from the Extraterritorial Race sneaking into our Great Thousand World, you have to kill them immediately.”

When Lin Jing heard it, she blinked and looked disappointed, saying, “Oh? Guard the rear? I have already advanced to the Heavenly Sovereign level. I can go to the front lines.”

Ling Qingzhu glared at Lin Jing and said grimly, “Guarding the rear is an important task. Most of the Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World have gone to the battlefront, thus we have to make sure that their sects, family, and friends are safe.”

When Lin Jing heard what her mother had said, she curled up her lips and did not go on further. When Xiao Xiao saw that Lin Jing had kept quiet, she nodded.

When the four queens saw that their precious daughters had been pacified, they looked at each other and heaved sighs of relief. The Heavenly Sovereigns who were at the battlefront could lose their lives at any moment. The two girls were inexperienced, and it would be dangerous for them to be at the front lines. The best arrangement was to put them at the rear to ensure that everything went well.

Although this battle concerned the Great Thousand World’s survival, and it was of prime importance to the queens, they would rather go to the battlefront to fight the enemies themselves instead of sending their daughters there to take the risk. After all, as a mother, they had to keep their children from harm.

“By the way, mother, where is Mu Chen? We have not heard any news about him, and that does not seem to be his style,” Lin Jing asked as she looked around the hall. Mu Chen would not possibly miss out on such a gathering, given his reputation. Moreover, he was good at stirring up trouble, thus it seemed weird that he had gone missing for the past few years and nothing had been heard of him.

When Xiao Xiao heard Lin Jing’s question, she looked over as well. Xiao Xiao was concerned about Mu Chen, but very few people knew what had happened to him. She also could not trust the rumors that had been going around occasionally. When the four queens heard the question, their faces turned grave. They had information about Mu Chen and knew how seriously he was treating this calamity.

“Don’t worry. When he appears again, the entire Great Thousand World will be overjoyed and shocked at the same time. We hope that he will succeed in whatever he is doing.”

After the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor had passed down the orders, they stood up and looked grimly at the people who were in the hall. They then said in a deep voice, “The Extraterritorial Race wants to take over the place that we are living in. We shall let them know that the only things that are waiting for them are sabers and swords, and blood and fire!”
