Chapter 1228: Arriving at the Monster Demon Divine Kingdom!

Chapter 1228: Arriving at the Strange Demon God Nation!

Within the divine palace.

The atmosphere was strangely still.

Everyone had been stunned by Zhou Zhou's orders.

Even Zheng Yuanqi, who knew his sovereign well, could not remain unmoved.

Could they be launching an attack on a nation-level master faction?

After all, they themselves were merely mid-level imperial master factions.

There existed a vast gap—a full tier—between nation-level and imperial-level.

To launch an assault on a nation-level master faction, especially one that was only at the initial stage of nation-level mastery, was utterly inconceivable for a mid-level imperial faction.

Yet, as they thought further, memories of the proud military strength currently held by the Jiayang Empire and the Sovereign’s status as a master-level combatant stirred within them—giving them a sudden surge of confidence.

They drove away even terrifying foes like Osna.

A mere junior divine realm-level lord faction.

Normally, a mature and established junior divine realm-level faction would boast trillions of soldiers, over ten thousand deities, and more than ten true gods—plus a few master god-level reserves.

Yet what of Zhou Zhou?

Right now, under his command, he possesses no less than 16,290,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 soldiers—1629 zettabytes and 9746 billion, 9147 million, 2446 men!

And furthermore, 3,570,1296 deities and 1,725 true gods!

Honestly speaking,

with this staggering force combined with his own master god-level combat power, Zhou Zhou could easily launch an assault on any advanced divine realm-level lord faction.

It’s only because Zhou Zhou is cautious and unwilling to rashly challenge high-tier divine realm-level factions—likely protected by master gods—that he has not yet launched an attack. Otherwise, he would have struck them down long ago.

And now—

The officials of the Kolir from the Kolir Empire, and other high ministers of the Kolir Empire, all paused, stunned, as they heard Zhou Zhou's words. Then, they stared at him with disbelief.

A thought flashed through their minds, instinctively.

To face a junior Dominion-level lord with the might of a mid-tier empire—Are you truly serious, Majesty?

Yet, they quickly recalled Zhou Zhou's actual power and the terrifying strength of his forces.

And suddenly, it struck them: perhaps the proud Mid-Tier Empire, the Sun Empire, could indeed challenge a junior Dominion—after all.

"Yes, Majesty!"

Kolir could not hesitate further. He spoke respectfully and immediately.

Zhou Zhou nodded, and asked:

"How many troops did you bring?"

"Report to your Majesty. I have brought over 650 billion soldiers, 111,658 divine beings, and six true Kolir gods!"

"This is all the available forces we have within the Tiefling Divine Realm."

Colir said respectfully.

"Not enough, well, let's go together."

Zhou Zhou didn't mind, merely waved his hand.

Then, without wasting a moment, the group immediately gathered the pre-prepared forces and boarded a Cosmic Emperor-class vessel. Through the interdimensional teleportation array granted by the master-subsidiary territory pact, they first traveled to the Tiefling Divine Realm, and then proceeded to the Yōmā Divine Realm.

...

The Yōmā Divine Realm borders the Tiefling Divine Realm.

At the height of its power, the Yōmā Divine Realm was once a mere pawn, easily controlled by the Tiefling Divine Realm.

But after the Tiefling Divine Realm lost its method of bloodline ascension and the entire race began to decline, the Tiefling Divine Realm gradually fell under the dominance of the Yōmā Divine Realm.

Their territories were continuously plundered, and even large numbers of Yōmā beings would frequently enter the Tiefling Divine Realm en masse, causing devastating natural disasters and calamities within Tiefling lands.

Unexpectedly, even the allied races of the Barrow God's Realm, upon witnessing the decline and suffering of the Barrow God's Realm, chose not to intervene—only watching coldly from the sidelines.

This only deepened the already fragile state of the Barrow God's Realm, making its plight unbearable.

Thus, the entire Barrow people harbored deep, unrelenting hatred toward the Ghoulish Race.

Later, with the emergence of the new bloodline ascension method—the "Sacred Rite"—an increasing number of Purple Crystal Barrows began to appear, slightly easing the situation.

Yet this did not soothe their hatred toward the Ghoulish Race; rather, it intensified their desire for vengeance.

When the Cosmic Emperor's vessel approached the borders of the Ghoulish God's Realm, including Colir, every Barrow's eyes ignited with a fierce, burning rage.

"Master of the Ghoulish Realm—Aroz!"

"We shall meet again!"

Colir gritted his teeth.

Previously, he was not merely a direct descendant of the Barrow of Batoli, but rather one among five direct descendants of the Purple Crystal Barrows.

One of the direct-line descendants had reached the potential of a being above true godhood, making him fully capable of inheriting the position of Supreme God.

At that time, throughout the entire nation, it was universally believed that His son would become the perfect next ruler of the Beast God Realm!

Yet, during a routine training expedition, the young man was ambushed by a monstrous true god from the Abhorrent Demon Realm and was swallowed whole.

From that moment on,

Colir's hatred for the Abhorrent Demons could only be described as consuming and unrelenting!

"Soldiers of all legions, hear this order—exit the Cosmic Emperor Ship and prepare for battle!"

As the acting commander of the Yangyang Legion, he issued the command.

He was a being of superior true godhood and deeply trusted by Bai Yun. After Bai Yun's departure, the Yangyang Legion had been temporarily placed under his command.

Splash, splash...

Over 1600 billion soldiers, more than three hundred thousand gods, and over a thousand true gods surged out of the Cosmic Emperor Ship.

Such a terrifying multitude of transcendents and deities gathered together, instantly causing the winds and clouds to surge, space to tremble, and time to grind to a halt, as a kaleidoscope of law phantasms manifested around the grand army.

Colier and the other ministers of the Behemoth Divine Kingdom felt an boundless surge of confidence welling up within their hearts upon witnessing the sheer, monumental strength of their own faction.

Before such an astonishing force, what did a puny Blight Divine Kingdom even amount to?

"Have the vast majority of the soldiers and deities conceal themselves, lest we frighten these blights away before the war even begins; furthermore, the hidden soldiers and deities can secretly encircle the entire Scarlet Divine Kingdom of Blights, preventing any enemies from attempting to flee once the battle commences."

Zhou Zhou commanded.

The military force He currently wielded was simply too terrifying, far beyond what a primary divine kingdom could cope with.

Moreover, the blight race was not one to defend its territory to the death, and to prevent them from fleeing, Zhou Zhou had devised this method.

"Understood!"

The acting commander of the Scorching Sun Legion replied respectfully, and promptly began to issue orders once more.

Soon.

Most of the soldiers and deities of the Praeyang Empire had vanished, instead boarding their ships to silently encircle and monitor the entire Qiuma Divine Nation, ensuring no Qiuma escaped during the war.

On the side of the Universe Emperor's vessel, however, only three million soldiers remained, twenty thousand deities, ten human true gods, and six beastman true gods.

The strange phenomena across heaven and earth suddenly diminished markedly.

Soon enough, the Qiuma Divine Nation detected the disturbance as well.

A group of twelve Qiuma beings emerged from afar and flew toward the scene, coming to a halt at a considerable distance from the Praeyang Empire's main army.

Zhou Zhou looked over.

He saw that these Qiuma were mostly grotesque and terrifying in form, their bodies vast and intimidating to ordinary beings. Yet, for beings of extraordinary power and deities, they were merely ordinary.

At this moment, the group of monsters stared at the Praeyang Empire's army with fierce, greedy eyes.

“Which divine realm has sent its forces our way?”

“I can feel countless divine presences surrounding us.”

“I saw beings from the Tyrannical Godrealm.”

“Ah, the Tyrannical Godrealm, hah—have these brutish beasts come to recruit allies?”

“What difference does it make? Under the leadership of our Emperor Arroz, they will still fall without a struggle.”

“True enough—but we must inform the Emperor immediately!”

“Hah, what a delight! Every few centuries, some noble lord faction, claiming to uphold justice, storms in with fanfare to destroy us. And each time, we simply feast upon them whole. Truly, a delicious meal. What fate awaits these recruits from the Tyrannical Godrealm when they provoke our race of aberrant demons?”

“A new wave of invaders has arrived.”

“Giggle, giggle—when the war begins, reserve a few Tyrannical beasts and divine entities for me.”

……

These bizarre demons brazenly praised the army of the Yangyang Empire.
