The Anti-Sky Alliance has declared its intention to overthrow the Heavenly Clan's rule, establishing their headquarters to coordinate the final battle. Allies discuss dividing spoils, with the War Clan eyeing the Core Star Continent. Meanwhile, Su Lin has captured Meng Hu and brought him to his territory, where he distributes rewards to his loyal Wolf Clan for their efforts.

"Hmph, a bunch of cowards hiding in the shadows, nothing worth paying attention to. Next, let’s discuss how to capture the remaining territories held by the Heavenly Clan. Additionally, let’s transfer all the remaining reserve forces from the other star clusters in the Central region into the Star Core. This battle will be the decisive one to determine victory or defeat!"

The core Marquis of the Phantom Demon side spoke.

He was also the strongest one left in the Orion Star Group from the Phantom Demon side.

With his proposal, all parties began to discuss the direction of the upcoming battle.

Although all sides were already outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds, they were all aware that despite the collapse of the Heavenly Clan, the forces summoned by the "Unspeakable" mandate mission, including sub-branches and investors, were still formidable.

Therefore, the entire Anti-Sky Alliance finally decided that whoever breaks into the Core Star Continent and destroys the Heavenly Destiny Stone of the Heavenly Clan will be qualified to claim the Core Star Continent.

However, under the allocation and orders of the First Generation Purple Brilliance Combat Body acting as the Alliance Leader, his command gathered the Purple Brilliance Divine Race, Skybreaker Clan, Profound Tiger Battle Beast Clan, and their branch armies along with over ten vassal forces of war clans closest to the battlefield next to the Core Star Continent.

The other forces were allocated to potential battlefields against other branches of the Heavenly Clan, Ancestor Dragon Lineage, and the "Unspeakable" investors and sub-branches.

Although they were dissatisfied with this allocation, there was nothing they could do.

After all, the battlefield closest to the Core Star Continent was lined with the strongest forces and branches under the Heavenly Clan.

Especially the Cause and Effect Heavenly Army under the Tenth Divine General, which was temporarily controlled by the suddenly famous Female Snake-man.

In the midst of the great war, that Female Snake-man only shouted a single spiritual will: "I will lead the army. If the Heavenly Clan is defeated, I will die here first. If your retreat causes the Heavenly Clan’s defeat, what face do you have to flee back to the Direct Line Headquarters?"

It was this spiritual will that halted the fleeing steps of the Cause and Effect Heavenly Army upon hearing the news of the Tenth Divine General’s defeat.

This strong army had indeed become decadent over the long years, but did it mean their powerful cultivation and past glory for the Heavenly Clan were gone?

Therefore, their Deputy Commander surprisingly agreed to join forces with the Female Snake-man.

It was this opportunity that allowed the Female Snake-man to lead the Cause and Effect Heavenly Army and the already expanding Heavenly Destiny Army to achieve extremely glorious feats.

In the situation where the Pure Blood Heavenly Clan was defeated and slaughtered, the Tenth Divine General defeated, and the Heavenly Clan’s dominance collapsing, they still managed to hold the Core Star Continent.

That suddenly famous Female Snake-man claimed more than half the credit.

There were even rumors that although she had not been exceptionally allowed into the Heavenly Clan’s direct lineage, the core lineage inheritance of the Heavenly Clan was opened to her, with a legacy not inferior to the Extreme Path.

Her combat power was fearsome to the Ultimate Peak.

Once she faced the old ancestor of the Purple Brilliance Divine Race and the Eight Forbidden Armies only to flee in disgrace, but in the last great war, she led the Cause and Effect Heavenly Army and the Heavenly Destiny Army and courageously battled the other four forbidden armies, turning the starry sky blood red.

Various battles, whether cavalry, wild, pursuit, or siege, went through them all. In the end, the other four forbidden armies could only stop at the continent without advancing.

Therefore, this once unknown Female Snake-man carved out a hope for the Heavenly Clan with bloody and valiant feats and established her vast reputation.

She took command at a critical moment and became the spokesperson for the Heavenly Clan, commanding the Cause and Effect Heavenly Army, Heavenly Destiny Army, Sky Dragon Race, Heavenly Sword Race, and Heavenly Ape Giant Army!

What is a spokesperson?

It means when the actual leaders of the Heavenly Clan don’t appear, she can represent the Heavenly Clan in all matters.

Just like Qing Ming used to stand against the "Unspeakable" Blazing Flame Sub-Branch.

So if the War Clan wants to gnaw at that hard bone, let them.

After all, among those present, aside from the War Clan, perhaps no one would dare claim that their military might is sharper than the Eight Forbidden Armies!

And after the Anti-Sky Alliance fully discussed and set the battle strategy,

it didn’t take long for the entire battlefield to shake anew.

The increasingly large Anti-Sky Alliance once again launched a relentless and fierce attack on the Heavenly Clan.

This time, even the entire Star Cluster joined in the warfare.

The Golden Clan, Fire Clan, Water Clan, and so on all stepped in to join the battle!

However, anyone attempting to aid the War Clan’s three direct lineages at the central battlefield was firmly rejected.

Because the War Clan wanted to monopolize the share of the Core Star Continent that once belonged to the Heavenly Clan.

This time, the Purple Brilliance Divine Race, Eight Forbidden Armies, along with three direct lineage ancestors and a total of eighteen follower forces, along with three branch armies and over ten vassal forces of war clans gathered at the central battlefield.

The total military strength under their command reached as many as fifteen hundred Capital Army units. It may not seem like much, but this was the War Clan’s military.

In the War Clan, even vassal forces are not forces any random entity could become.

It can be said these three branch armies and over ten vassal forces almost encompass the total military strength of the War Clan in the entire Orion Star Group.

Even the three direct lineages of the war clans are the only ones openly representing the War Clan in the entire Orion Star Group. Hence why they could represent the War Clan to launch the Anti-Sky War?

But even though the War Clan staked all the military forces of the entire Star Cluster, they still reached an extremely brutal stage at the edge of the closest battlefield to the Core Star Continent at the Eight Guardian Continents.

Under the command of that Heavenly Destiny Female Snake-man, the Cause and Effect Heavenly Army was like a truly unleashed divine force, unmatched wherever it went.

Its singular strength is formidable enough to come and go without a trace.

In the end, only with the full deployment of the Eight Great Forbidden Armies of the Purple Brilliance Divine Race could this Cause and Effect Heavenly Army be entangled.

But even the Eight Great Forbidden Armies of the Purple Brilliance Divine Race still had a gap with the Cause and Effect Heavenly Army, which did not engage directly but deliberately dragged the Eight Great Forbidden Armies’ energy, preventing them from participating in other battlefields.

Besides, the Heavenly Destiny Army, which had grown immensely powerful to the point of tens of trillions in level, joined forces with the Heavenly Ape Giant Army, utilizing local advantages to drag the military forces of the three Direct Lineage Ancestor Followers into favorable locations such as the densely Star Sand Sea, Forbidden God Star, and Forbidden Dao Star, commencing a fierce battle.

As for the remaining forces, they also relied on the sea-like fortune of the Heavenly Clan and the star power of the Core Star Continent to engage in attack and defense battles with the War Clan forces, relying on the arrangement of the Eight Guardian Continents.

Even the three major direct lines of the War Clan never thought that one day the War Clan would bring such advantageous forces to confront the mere six hundred plus Capital Army forces of the other side and still find it so difficult.

Finally, the two major direct lines of the War Clan also joined the fray.

However, the First Generation Purple Brilliance Combat Body was held back by the Deputy Commander of the Cause and Effect Heavenly Army, who was a late-stage Quasi-Extreme Dao strongest, second only to the Tenth Divine General within the Heavenly Clan.

It fought to a standstill against the First Generation Purple Brilliance Combat Body.

And the Heavenly Destiny Female Snake People, once hunted down like a defeated dog, surprisingly resisted the expedition of the third Ancestor of the Purple Brilliance Divine Race.

No one expected that after receiving the core lineage of the Heavenly Clan, the Heavenly Destiny Female Snake People had, in just a mere billion years, broken through several thresholds to reach the mid-stage Supreme Giant.

It relied on vast Heavenly Clan fortune, core star power, and a quasi-extreme Heavenly Sword bestowed by the Heavenly Clan Headquarters to challenge the third Ancestor head-on.

It fought madly, with both sides wanting to kill each other to earn splendid battlefield achievements in this great war.

Yet, this battle waged for an exceptionally long age.

Meanwhile, a figure that had quietly arrived here long ago, godlike in its control of time and space, watched this great battle impassionedly, without a single trace of emotion in its eyes.

Even as it witnessed many Heavenly Clan War General forces perish on this battlefield, it remained as cold as an ocean.

For the Heavenly Dao, an ancient being surviving for nearly ten thousand eras, death was as thin as paper.

Even the death of pure blood Heavenly Clan couldn’t make the Heavenly Dao blink.

"Heavenly Dao, you’re still not taking action? What are you waiting for? You’ve been waiting all this time; we’ve been performing for you for so long, and soon we’ll have exhausted our forces. How can you stay so indifferent?"

The Tenth Divine General, his arm broken, covered in dense Rules of War, was beside this godlike figure.

Looking at his forces and the valiant Heavenly Clan men dying, his eyes were filled with extreme anxiety and heartache.

Though the Tenth Divine General’s talent was limited, surpassed by later arrivals, wherever he went across territories, or stellar bases, he was greatly loved by his subordinate Heavenly Clan.

Because he truly loved his people like his children, and his cultivation of the Great Dao was unlike any typical Heavenly Clan extreme path.

His Great Dao foundation wasn’t rooted in a specific starry sky, a supreme rule, or even the fortune of a great clan, but rather in his own forces and the Heavenly Clan’s sons.

This binds his future to his forces, dictating the character of the Tenth Divine General.

But this also meant that in the end, he would be surpassed by the rising stars of the Heavenly Clan.

After all, his Great Dao was an anomaly in the vast dark starry sky.

"Hahaha, Tenth Divine General, I understand watching your forces being slaughtered makes you anxious, but don’t worry, calmly observe. I can feel numerous strong individuals focusing on this battlefield.

Since I’ve come, I’ll help you clear out all the thorns in this Star Cluster! Thus, losing some ordinary forces is insignificant. In the future, after fully grasping this Star Cluster, it won’t take long for fresh forces and new Little Heavenly Snakes to sprout like bamboo shoots after rain."

Upon hearing the urging of the Tenth Divine General, the Heavenly Dao couldn’t help but smile lightly.

This laughter held no sarcasm, heaviness, or emotion.

The Heavenly Dao, as its name suggests, was an emotionless godlike being controlling time and space.

Only when it glanced at the Female Snake resisting the War Clan’s direct lineage did its eyes reveal a hint of interest.

For even after living through nearly ten thousand eras since the dimension’s true intent first dawned, it had seen fewer than several dozen entities capable of resisting the War Clan’s direct lineage.

"Heavenly Dao, since you’ve sensed it, why not act directly? Why let your sons perish like this? Does having new sons in the future mean their current lives are meaningless? Are they just cold numbers to you?"

The Tenth Divine General almost roared, yet the Heavenly Dao didn’t spare him a glance.

For the Tenth Divine General’s love-for-the-people nature only served in governance, never in conquest or suppression.

At this moment, aside from watching the battlefield, aside from sensing those unseen figures and suspecting the Heavenly Clan has retained a backup plan, the Heavenly Dao’s lips gradually curled into a smile.

This smile seemed to mock the old foxes’ cunning and deceit, but more so to anticipate the upcoming feast of supreme and quasi-extreme peak essence blood and the Great Dao.

He was indeed hungry.

He needed sustenance.
