“I offer my gratitude to senior for treating the Emperor’s Son. Having already committed my essence blood and soul spirit to this cause, I shall now depart to hunt down the Black Sun Evil Army and those treacherous rebels. We cannot allow them to believe our Ten Thousand Demon System is made of mere clay!”
“I shall join the pursuit! Senior Heavenly Ghost, we are in your debt for your tireless efforts. Every military unit above the Half-step Heavenly Venerate level in West Pole Town, mobilize immediately and follow me!”
The Eastern and Western Demon Emperors let out thunderous roars, wasting no time in deploying their elite Half-step Heavenly Venerate Level War Generals.
They understood clearly that the Black Sun Evil Army and the ten-thousand-strong rebel force possessed terrifying strength.
Since the enemy had already been fleeing for some time, it was feared that only troops at the Half-step Heavenly Venerate level would have the speed required to overtake them.
To facilitate the hunt, the Space-Time Altars belonging to the Eastern and Western Demon Emperors were brought forth.
Recalling Mo Peng’s previous instructions, the Heavenly Ghost let out a cold snort. “Do you truly believe you can catch and defeat them on your own? The numbers of the Black Sun Evil Army and the rebels are equal to your own. I have just clashed with that evil host and secured a trace of its aura. Follow me and my disciples; we will spearhead the pursuit while you provide support!”
As this icy spiritual command echoed, a new clone manifested beside the Heavenly Ghost.
The sheer power radiating from this single clone far surpassed the combined combat strength of both the Eastern and Western Demon Emperors.
“We thank you, senior. Your immense kindness shall not be forgotten. The moment the Emperor’s Son recovers, he will be briefed on every detail of your assistance!”
The Eastern and Western Demon Emperors, along with the lords of the various towns, bowed with profound respect toward the Heavenly Ghost.
The Heavenly Ghost accepted their reverence with a stoic expression.
Moments later, his clone summoned a massive Space-Time Altar beneath its feet. Leading a legion of over two hundred thousand Black Robe Dead Souls, they surged forward, tracking the lingering remnants of the Nightmare Army’s retreat.
The Eastern and Western Demon Emperors followed closely behind, riding their own Space-Time Altars.
As for the other rebel contingent, everyone understood that the likelihood of locating them was minimal.
They were few in number and composed entirely of elites. Once they utilized their Hidden Talent Secret Technique,
They became like a single grain of sand in the boundless starscape.
Unless a true taboo existence intervened to calculate their coordinates through the Space-Time River, finding them was akin to searching for a needle in a vast haystack.
Even after the pursuit force departed, the military units of Ancestor Level and above remained gathered, refusing to leave the area.
Each warrior hoped to witness the miraculous moment the Emperor’s Son was fully restored to life.
Meanwhile, reports of this unprecedented and bloody conflict on the fringes of the nebula layer were spreading like wildfire throughout the cosmos.
…..
The news traveled with incredible speed, soon penetrating deep into the nebula layer itself.
At this time, the Demon Star Lord had reached the most prosperous resource hub, a place where the most diverse tribes and species of the entire system congregated.
Above this region, the immense Sea of Destiny hung heavily in the sky.
Within those waters, the instruments of fate moved with the grace of dragons, swimming freely through the Sea of Destiny.
There also stood a colossal Destiny Stone, spanning tens of billions of meters, which was currently reshaping itself into a magnificent Fate Altar!
It was perhaps more accurate to call it the prototype of a Fate Altar rather than a mere Destiny Stone.
Should the Ten Thousand Demon System continue its expansion, the Destiny Stone would eventually vanish, replaced by a completed Fate Altar capable of obliterating entire star systems.
This explains why those who can stand upon a Fate Altar are regarded as genuine taboo existences!
A taboo existence lacking a Fate Altar is not considered whole; they are typically referred to as Quasi-taboo.
The distinction between a Quasi-taboo and a Half-step Forbidden Peak is frequently misunderstood.
Their combat capabilities are nearly identical, as both have refined their Dimension Heart to a state of perfection.
The only difference lies in whether they have survived the starry sky thunder tribulation of the Dimension Realm.
Rumors suggested that even the Black Three Gods and the previous Demon Emperor had reached this lofty height; however, without a Fate Altar, they were unable to truly ascend to that ultimate realm.
A Fate Altar requires the collective faith, willpower, fortune, and destiny of the countless species, beasts, and billions of tribes living beneath it.
To stand upon the Fate Altar is to be bolstered by the infinite power of that collective faith and destiny.
Thus, a taboo existence fighting from a Fate Altar does not fight in isolation.
They are supported by the spiritual and martial strength of billions of followers.
Furthermore, the Fate Altar is a living construct that grows stronger as the tribes and warriors under its banner increase in power and number.
This is the reason why many dominant Star Nebula Great Clans choose to focus their resources on perfecting only one or two Fate Altars, even if they have the means to create more.
Only through such concentration of power can they exert overwhelming dominance over other taboo existences.
Inside the main camp of the Demon Star, the Demon Star Lord radiated the terrifying pressure of a Half-step Forbidden realm. He maintained the persona of a hardened Iron-blooded Army Commander before the gathered Exotic Beast Tribes while castng a glance toward the massive Destiny Stone as it transitioned into a Fate Altar.
As he stared at the stone, his gaze betrayed flickers of deep-seated ambition and avarice.
Naturally, no one at the Half-step Forbidden level could resist the allure of the Fate Altar.
It represented the absolute zenith of power and martial authority.
However, just as the Demon Star Lord looked away to survey the gathered beasts,
His elite intelligence commander burst into the area, disregarding the need for secrecy.
Descending like a streak of light, the commander landed and reported: “Star Lord, the Black Sun Evil Army has attacked the outer sectors of the nebula layer! The Emperor’s Son moved to block them, and his current condition is unknown. Furthermore, many vassals and Demon Emperors from the outer regions are showing signs of shifting their primary loyalty to the Emperor’s Son!”
