Chapter 1545: Ominous Premonition!

Chapter 1545: An Ominous Presentiment!

"Over the past two days, Your Majesty has conquered the greater part of the Ultimate Void Battlefield's territory. The Ultimate Void Clan likely cannot sit still any longer, which is why they dispatched a powerhouse of the quasi-Supreme Will Realm to garrison the Void Capital, guarding against our assault?"

"And once we launch our attack, this quasi-Supreme Will Realm powerhouse can hold us at bay, biding time for reinforcements to arrive so they can annihilate us in a single stroke?"

Bai Yun voiced her conjecture.

Zhou Zhan and the Lord of Myriad Demons nodded, both in agreement with Bai Yun's deduction.

If they had captured so many Void cities without provoking any reaction from the Ultimate Void Clan, that would indeed be a bizarre turn of events.

It seemed this was their countermeasure.

"Then their calculations are gravely mistaken."

"With Big Brother's current might, a mere ordinary quasi-Supreme Will Realm practitioner cannot hope to stall for time in Big Brother's presence. By the time their reinforcements arrive, their quasi-Supreme Will Realm expert will have long since fallen, and we will have departed with our army, bound for our next destination."

The Lord of Myriad Demons spoke with a jovial chuckle.

"Let us go."

"Do not let their armies surround us."

Zhou Zhan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Bai Yun nodded, then immediately ordered the army to swiftly clear the battlefield. Once the battlefield was cleared, Zhou Zhan instantly activated the ultimate void tunnel, and led the army away from the site.

A moment later.

On the ruins of the Crystal Capital, a void tunnel with a diameter of ten light years rapidly unfurled.

Then, one by one, master god-class, supreme god-class, and even near-omnipotent will-class ultimate void warships emerged from the tunnel, and they saw the ruins of the Crystal Capital below.

The generals of the Ultimate Void Race immediately grew grim-faced, and immediately ordered all vessels to open their radar systems, scanning desperately to determine whether the army of Supreme Will had still not escaped and remained nearby.

The results came swiftly.

Within a range of one ten-thousand light-years, no single soldier from the Sunlight Sovereign State or from the Wanhua Demon Master's forces was found.

Clearly, they had fled far beyond reach.

"Damn it!"

"How could they have escaped so easily!"

Standing within the main vessel, a near-omnipotent will-being of the Ultimate Void Race, his face flushed with rage and despair.

He was the commander of this assault, tasked with fulfilling the Void Emperor's command to annihilate the Immortal Sovereign of Life. His forces—enormous in scale—consisted of five billion spirits, one hundred billion true gods, twenty thousand chief deities, five hundred supreme deities, ten near-omnipotent will beings, and one who had feigned the rank of near-omnipotent, in truth being a true omnipotent will-being—Mondor!

With such overwhelming might, as commander-in-chief, he had been filled with exhilaration. Upon receiving the news that all four first-tier Supreme God-level war domains had fallen, he immediately set off. But upon arrival, he found only four ruined remnants of first-tier Supreme God-level domains.

Then, word came of the second-tier Supreme God-level war domain—the Crystal War Domain—being attacked. Without delay, he rushed again. Yet once more, he arrived too late—again, they had escaped!

What power does the Sovereign of Life possess? How is it that every time, he vanishes so swiftly?

Previously, when the Supreme Demon Sovereign presided over the Ultimate Void Battlefield, the situation was entirely reversed.

How could it now be their turn?

At this thought,

He suddenly realized.

Before, there were no True Supreme Will-level warriors under the Supreme Demon Sovereign's command capable of breaching the Ultimate Void and instantaneously teleporting. Thus, it was always His forces that held the upper hand—strike whenever they wished, flee whenever they pleased.

Now, however, the Supreme Demon Sovereign has acquired the Celestial Sovereign of the People. In the past two days, this Celestial Sovereign has also subjugated Mengnan.

Both beings are top-tier True Supreme Will-level warriors. Together, they can effortlessly create a tunnel through the Ultimate Void, allowing their armies to teleport freely across the battlefield.

And yet, they have no knowledge of their destination. Even though they can teleport within the Ultimate Void Battlefield, they can only follow behind, like shadows.

"Lord Mengtu, what should we do now?"

"The Celestial Sovereign of the People and Mengnan can now teleport freely across the Ultimate Void Battlefield. We no longer have any advantage in speed!"

This powerful being from the Precursor Will Realm spoke with a touch of anxiety.

"There's nothing to ponder about."

"Since we can no longer catch up with him, let us find an unoccupied city to hold our ground, waiting passively for the Celestial Sovereign to come to us on his own."

"I know that during this waiting period, more Void Cities will fall, and more ultimate Void Clan masters will be annihilated. But as long as we ultimately destroy both the Celestial Sovereign and the Universal Evil Master, you need not worry about the Void Emperor's Majesty. He will never blame us—he will instead generously reward us!"

Mongtu saw clearly.

Given the threat now emanating from the Celestial Sovereign, the danger posed by him far outweighed the loss of merely a few Void Base Cities.

As long as they finally eliminate the Celestial Sovereign—even without needing to destroy the Universal Evil Master—the Void Emperor would not hold them accountable. Instead, he would generously reward them.

As for the lost cities, once the Celestial Sovereign falls, the Universal Evil Master, left alone, will surely be unable to hold them.

Then, after that, they can simply reclaim them—no great effort required.

"Very well, Master."

"So where shall we wait for the Celestial Sovereigns to arrive, within which Void Master City?"

This near-omnipotent will-bound being, upon contemplation, found the idea logical, and immediately asked.

"Currently, the Celestial Sovereigns have already seized four First-Class Supreme Divine War Territories, and now they have conquered the Second-Class Supreme Divine War Territory—the Crystal War Territory. Next, they will likely advance upon the remaining two Second-Class Supreme Divine War Territories… Let us go and hold position within the Second-Class Supreme Divine War Territory—the Luo Tong War Territory."

Meng Duo thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Your wisdom is beyond measure!"

The near-omnipotent will-bound being bowed respectfully and immediately issued orders to set off.

Meanwhile.

Zhou Zhan and the Wàn Xié Mā Zhǔ were leading their respective armies in the assault upon one of the three Second-Class Supreme Divine War Territories—the Xuan Shang War Territory!

Two hours later.

The Xuan Shang War Territory was completely captured.

At this moment, the soldiers of the main army were already weary, yet they still had the strength to fight for some time longer.

Zhou Zhan, seeing this, decided to press on with the assault upon the final second-tier Supreme Divine War Territory—Luo Tong War Territory.

Once Luo Tong War Territory fell, over two-thirds of the entire Ultimate Void Battlefield would be under Zhou Zhan’s control.

But just as both armies had finished their preparations and Zhou Zhan was about to open the Ultimate Void Tunnel for instant teleportation, a subtle ripple stirred within his mind—a strange, unsettling sensation, as though something were amiss.

“Just a sudden impulse?”

Zhou Zhan’s expression flickered slightly.

After a moment’s thought, he changed his course, turning instead toward the third-tier Supreme Divine War Territory—the Ancient God War Territory.

The ruler of the Ancient God Capital in the Ancient God War Territory was not originally a member of the Ultimate Void Clan.

He had once been one of the primordial ancient gods of the Ancient God Macro-Universes within the Ultimate Void, wielding ancient and eerie powers—its power system and world structure bore a striking resemblance to the Cthulhu system on Earth.

Later, when the Ultimate Void Clan launched a prolonged invasion of the Ancient God Macro-Universes, after years of brutal warfare, the Ancient God Macro-Universes were ultimately defeated, and the entire cosmos was consumed and disintegrated into raw Void Energy. During this process, the ancient god named Turo, upon realizing that his ancient universe would never rise again, made a wise and heartfelt choice—to surrender to the Ultimate Void Clan.

Turu, as a supreme being of the quasi-omnipotent will tier, was naturally welcomed by the Ultimate Void Race.

Even one of the omnipotent will-level masters from the Ultimate Void Race specially prepared a racial transformation ritual for Turu, investing immense resources and time—ultimately transforming the ancient god Turu into a hybrid warrior possessing both the bloodline of an ancient god and that of the Ultimate Void Race.

This hybridization did not diminish Turu’s capabilities at all; rather, the two bloodlines fused in a remarkable synergy, amplifying Turu’s already formidable strength—especially in combat prowess.

Later, when the Void Emperor led the Ultimate Void Army to invade the Supreme High Cosmos and the Crimson Cosmos, Turu was entrusted with a critical mission, remaining stationed at the Ultimate Void battlefield ever since.

To be honest,

After Zhou Zhan decided to temporarily abandon his assault on the Luo Tong War Territory and instead shift his focus to the Ancient God War Territory, he no longer hesitated—he immediately activated the Ultimate Void Tunnel, teleporting his entire army directly to the heart of the Ancient God’s capital.

…

The Capital of the Ancient Gods.

Upon seeing the grand city before them, Wan Xie Magistrate and Bai Yun could not help but feel a subtle surprise. They then asked curiously:

“Brother, why did you suddenly change your target?”

The Ten Thousand Evil Lords asked curiously.

"The Lo Teng War Territory gives me a foreboding sensation. Therefore, I intend to launch a direct assault on the Third-Rank Supreme Deity-level War Territory of the Ancient God War Zone."

Zhou Zhan did not conceal his thoughts; he stated it plainly.

The Ten Thousand Evil Lords' expression grew serious.

As a Supreme Lord in the Third Reserve Rank, He was naturally a divine being blessed with great destiny. He understood the profound nature of such special perceptions as "intuition."

If even a being of stronger destiny and greater power than Zhou Zhan himself feels uneasy, then the Lo Teng War Territory must be fraught with issues—certainly not a mere illusion. And the problems within the Lo Teng War Territory must be immense, even...

The Ten Thousand Evil Lords recalled what Zhou Zhan had said: that in the coming days, the Ultimate Void Clan might send a Supreme Will-level master to eliminate Him. His heart tightened instantly.

Could it be that the Ultimate Void Clan has already dispatched a Supreme Will-level master?!

He believed this possibility to be extremely high.

Otherwise, who could make even a master of the highest tier of near-Supreme Will feel such unease?

It must be a master of the Supreme Will Realm!

As for transcending beyond the Will Beyond Realm, that's utterly impossible—such beings, once they act, would bring about cataclysms.

The Universal Demon Master shared his conjecture with Zhou Zhan. Upon hearing it, Zhou Zhan gave a faint, quiet smile and said:

"Rest assured."

"What you've thought of, I've already considered.

I've long prepared safeguards for my own protection—there will be no danger."

Holding the Book of Formlessness and the Command of the Underworld, if a true master of the Supreme Will Realm were to appear, he would immediately summon the Cyclic Will to shield himself. Then, see who would be caught off guard.

"Good—prepared, then."

The Universal Demon Master, upon hearing this, had no doubts about Zhou Zhan.

After all, as a candidate for the Supreme Lord, who wouldn't possess a few sacred relics from the Supreme Will Realm for self-defense?

Like Tian Chen God King and Chunqiu Fa Zhi, these beings even possess supreme artifacts capable of countering transcendent wills!

"I too have some artifacts capable of countering masters of the Supreme Will."

"If a true Supreme Will master should emerge to challenge my brother, I can certainly lend a hand."

Wan Xie Mo Zhu said.

"Good!"

Zhou Zhan slapped his shoulder.

At that moment,

the Ancient God Capital below detected Zhou Zhan, Wan Xie Mo Zhu, and their host armies of divine beings.

The divine beings of the Ancient God Capital immediately readied themselves for war.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhan did not hesitate—immediately issued orders to his army, launching an assault on the Ancient God Capital.

And He, alongside the Jianmu City-Bringer Hammer, launched an assault upon the fourth-tier, supreme divine defense installation of the Ancient God's capital city.

With His presence—a master of the highest tier of quasi-omnipotent will—combined with the Jianmu City-Bringer Hammer, one of the most potent city-shattering artifacts ever forged, the fourth-tier, supreme divine defense installation of the Ancient God's capital city soon began to tremble, its structure visibly fraying, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Now, the Ancient God Tru, stationed within the capital city, could no longer remain still.

He had originally intended to delay, waiting for his allied forces to detect the situation here and respond in time.

But even after such a long duration, not only had no reinforcements arrived, but his own defenses were rapidly faltering.

"Has the message reached Lord Mengdu?" Tru asked again.

"Tru-sama," the subordinate of the Supreme God said, his voice trembling, "this is precisely what I was about to report to you. We just discovered that our distress signal was intercepted."

"The enemy apparently anticipated our attempt to send out a rescue message, and deliberately employed some unknown artifact or device—something we do not understand—preventing us from establishing contact with our allied forces for a short period of time."

"It seems we've been discovered."

Turu was surprised, yet not entirely so.

The Celestial Sovereign Emperor had never been an ordinary being; it was only natural he would anticipate such a development.

"It's just unfortunate for me."

"Looks like I'll have to step in first!"

Though reluctant, Turu had no choice but to step forward.

Thinking of Zhou Zhan—though he was a seasoned near-omnipotent will-being—Turu knew he had no guarantee of victory. After all, that man had once single-handedly dominated two near-omnipotent will-beings, Montai and Xila, and had even survived unharmed against the true-blood manifestations of omnipotent will-beings.

Such feats, Turu firmly believed, were beyond his own capabilities.

"Still, I can't stand a chance against the Celestial Sovereign Emperor."

"But hold on—should be manageable."

Turu thought of his own gift, and a sense of calm settled within him.

Then he instantly flew out of the Ancient God's Capital City, engaging in battle with Zhou Zhan.

Meanwhile.

The ultimate void deities stationed in the Lo-Tong Capital City—Meng Duo and the others—suddenly became aware of something.

The capital city of the Third-Rank Supreme God War Territory—the Ancient God War Territory—has gone offline!

No matter how many messages they sent, they could not reach it.

Meng Duo and the others exchanged glances, instantly realizing that disaster had struck the Ancient God's Capital City.

"It must be the Celestial People Emperor!"

"He has directly bypassed our Lo-Tong Capital City and launched an attack on the Ancient God's Capital City!"

Lord Luo, Master of the City of Luo-Tong—Lord Luo's near-superior will spoke instantly.

"We shall proceed immediately to the Ancient God's Capital!"

Meng Duo stood up and issued his order right away.

"Tru, though he lacks skill in many areas, possesses strong self-defense abilities."

"This time, we will reach the Ancient God's Capital before it falls, and eliminate the Celestial Sovereign Emperor and the Universal Evil Master!"

"General officers, assemble the army—depart immediately!"

"Yes!!!"
