Chapter 1555: Leaving the Ultimate Void Battlefield!

Chapter 1555: Leaving the Ultimate Void Battlefield!

Zhou Zhan and Wan Xie Mozhǔ frowned, gazing for several seconds at the empty, godless Pyo Yin Capital. After a brief moment of contemplation, Zhou Zhan summoned Meng Duo.

"Your Majesty."

Meng Duo bowed respectfully.

Having undergone the purification of the Lord of Peace's innate talent, Meng Duo's loyalty had reached new heights—basically, he would never betray Zhou Zhou.

"Go inside and find out what's going on," Zhou Zhan instructed.

"Report immediately if anything seems amiss."

Meng Duo was the only divine being among His subordinates possessing near-supreme willpower and combat strength.

For such a critical reconnaissance task, it was the most suitable and safest choice to entrust it to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Meng Duo spoke respectfully.

A mere capital city of a fourth-tier supreme god-level war domain.

Unless a transcendent will-level master descended, no one could harm Him.

Thus, facing His Majesty's directive, there was not a single hesitation within Him—instead, a quiet eagerness stirred.

He immediately took flight toward the Xuan Yin capital city and swiftly entered its boundaries.

At this sight, Zhou Zhan and Wan Xie Mo Master exchanged a fleeting flicker of unusual expression.

Had He simply entered without a second thought?

Had the supreme god-level defenses not been activated?

Could it be that they had truly abandoned this capital city?

Two divine minds thought in unison.

A moment passed.

Mengdu emerged from the main city of Xuan Yin, swiftly arriving before Zhou Zhan.

"Your Majesty."

"I have thoroughly investigated this entire main city of Xuan Yin.

Every corner, every level—down to the hidden realms concealed within the city—I have observed them all with the power of my will. And what I discovered is that there are no longer any divine beings of the Ultimate Void Race present within this city. The entire main city has been completely emptied.

Not only are the beings of the Ultimate Void Race gone, but even the treasures stored within the vaults and the base stellar cores have been taken away.

If my judgment is correct, then this main city has been abandoned."

Mengdu spoke plainly.

Though his voice remained calm, his heart was filled with profound astonishment.

The race of Ultimate Void had always demonstrated overwhelming strength when facing the forces under the supreme will.

It was the first time He had witnessed the race of Ultimate Void, fleeing from battle, abandoning even their own capital city—an utterly absurd act.

Had the race of Ultimate Void truly been cowed by their own sovereign?

Or was there some hidden plan, forcing them to relinquish their cherished stronghold?

He harbored a few suspicions.

Yet this did not mean He still cared for the race of Ultimate Void—only that his instincts prompted him to consider the possible reasons behind such a move.

Upon hearing Montuo's words, Zhou Zhan and Wan Xie Mozhǔ immediately unleashed their willful forces, probing every corner of the main city of Xuan Yin.

A moment later.

Zhou Zhan and Wan Xie Mozhǔ simultaneously withdrew their willful energies.

They exchanged a glance, and in that glance, both understood the other's thoughts.

It seems the final Void Clan stationed in the main city have truly fled.

Otherwise, the Xuan Yin main city would not be so utterly desolate.

"Let's go."

"Let's visit the other eight secondary towns within the Xuan Yin War Territory."

Zhou Zhan said.

Wan Xie Mo Zhu had the same thought, and nodded in agreement.

They immediately headed to the nearest secondary town from the Xuan Yin main city, only to find exactly as Zhou Zhan and Wan Xie Mo Zhu had suspected—no traces of the Final Void Clan, no wealth, nothing at all. It appeared they had all been preemptively evacuated.

Then, spending half an hour, Zhou Zhan instantaneously transported them to the remaining seven secondary towns, and each one turned out to be equally empty.

The phenomenon of abandoned cities was not isolated—every settlement across the entire Xuan Yin War Territory had vanished all traces of the Final Void Clan.

"Did they all flee?"

The Supreme Demon Lord's expression was extraordinarily strange, utterly inconceivable.

Like Mondon, in His memory, the Ultimate Void Race had always demonstrated exceptional strength when facing external powers—especially in the past, when confronting the Supreme Demon Lord and his legions, where they had been nearly unchallengeable, as if ruling the world with absolute dominion.

It was the first time He had ever encountered the Ultimate Void Race abandoning their cities and fleeing.

"Perhaps it was a mere escape," said Zhou Zhan.

"Or perhaps a deliberate surrender."

"I suspect that the cities within the other fourth-tier Supreme God-level War Territory—the Ming Zun War Territory—would have done the same."

"It was likely a direct order from the Void Emperor, commanding their retreat."

"Otherwise, they would never have dared to abandon their cities voluntarily."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Demon Lord nodded in agreement.

The Ultimate Void Race's devotion to the Void Emperor was nothing short of fervent.

Nearly eighty percent of the members of the Ultimate Void Clan are fervent devotees of the Void Emperor.

Since the Void Emperor has commanded them to remain stationed in these cities, they dare not retreat at any moment when faced with threats that could endanger their lives—instead, they must first seek the Emperor’s permission, and only after receiving explicit approval may they withdraw.

This abandoned city scene, therefore, most likely reflects the Emperor’s directive for their retreat, allowing them to leave with composure and without a trace of panic.

“The Void Emperor has chosen to have his troops abandon the city and regroup—this suggests he is preparing for a final, decisive confrontation with our Supreme Will and the Crimson Sovereign.”

Wan Xie Magus mused, his voice tinged with both anticipation and excitement. Turning to Zhou Zhan, he said, “It will surely be a battle of epic proportions. I intend to stay and witness it. What about you, brother?”

“I’ll pass.”

“This entire scene is my fault.”

“If I remain on the battlefield, the Void Emperor, upon discovering my presence, will likely eliminate me first—just to vent his wrath.”

“I don’t want to die merely by watching the spectacle.”

In truth, Zhou Zhan also longed to witness this legendary clash.

After all, it was extremely likely that three beings transcending the realm of will would engage in a great battle together.

Such a grand spectacle was rare.

Yet, for safety’s sake, He decided not to join in.

He was still merely a First-Class Supreme God at this point.

The risk of getting caught in the spectacle was too great.

If He were a Supreme Will-being, even a lower-tier one, He would dare to participate in the great battle two days hence, and even take advantage of it.

A First-Class Supreme God? That was too risky.

The aftermath of their combat could easily kill Him.

"Alright."

The Master of Ten Thousand Evil Spirits nodded with a touch of regret.

He merely thought for a moment, and instantly grasped Zhou Zhan's intent.

After all, the very one who had brought the entire Ultimate Void Battlefield to its knees was none other than his brother right beside him.

If He were the Void Emperor, and He saw his own brother appearing on the battlefield, He would have first eliminated the Celestial Sovereign.

Do not think that a being of the Void Emperor's caliber would not act thus.

He himself could produce a Will Beyond the Realm artifact, allowing a Supreme Will cultivator to conceal his identity and assassinate the Celestial Sovereign.

If He could break the rules so blatantly, what else could He not do?

The virtue of a strong being is not necessarily noble.

It might very well be base, ruthless, and unscrupulous.

"Let us go again to the Ming Sovereign's War Territory."

"Though it's likely they've all already withdrawn."

"But still, take a glance to confirm."

Zhou Zhan said.

Wan Xie Mo Zhu nodded.

Then Zhou Zhan opened the Ultimate Void Tunnel and journeyed into the Four-Rank Supreme Divine War Territory—the Ming Zun War Territory.

An hour later.

Zhou Zhan and Wan Xie Mo Zhu had thoroughly inspected the entire Ming Zun War Territory, confirming that not a single Ultimate Void Divine Being remained—neither in the main city nor in the secondary cities.

"Truly, they've all left."

Wan Xie Mo Zhu murmured, moved.

Once upon a time,

He himself had long desired to create such a scene.

Yet the overwhelming power of the Ultimate Void Clan swiftly buried that delusion deep within His heart, silencing any further thought of it.

But within the brief span of less than ten days since the Celestial Sovereign arrived at the Ultimate Void battlefield, He had nearly eradicated all of its enemies, leaving only the Sacred Realm untouched.

The vast chasm between ideal and reality left Him momentarily disoriented, a sharp sense of unreality seeping through, and once again made Him acutely aware of the gulf between Himself and the Celestial Sovereign.

Yet, having endured so many trials and battles along the way, the Lord of Ten Thousand Evils now stood calm, unshaken by this disparity.

In His heart, there was only clarity and release.

"Brother, our mission is complete."

The Lord of Ten Thousand Evils murmured softly, a faint smile blooming upon His face.

"Hmm."

Zhou Zhan offered a quiet, gentle smile. "Completed."

"At last, we may leave this cold, monotonous place behind."

"Is this all cold and boring?"

The Supreme Evil Master smiled easily. "My younger brother, I've been residing here for tens of thousands of years."

"You're powerful."

Zhou Zhan said.

"Ha ha ha..."

"Ha ha..."

They couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hmm?"

At that moment,

Zhou Zhan suddenly sensed something. He tuned his ears, listening intently.

The Supreme Demon Lord of a Hundred Evil Powers fell silent, waiting for Zhou Zhan's response.

Soon.

Zhou Zhan regained his composure.

"What's going on, brother?"

The Supreme Demon Lord asked curiously.

"Nothing major."

"My true form just entrusted me with a mission—sending troops to carry it out."

"Hmph."

"I thought after settling things here, I'd get two days of rest. Seems like that's out of the question now."

Zhou Zhan said.

"Shall I assist you?"

The Supreme Demon Lord spoke seriously, "If my elder brother needs help, I will do everything in my power to lend a hand."

His tone was utterly earnest, and clearly, by "everything in my power," he meant truly, fully, without reservation.

"No."

"It's nothing."

Zhou Zhan shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Demon Lord said no more.

Yet deep within his heart, he knew this matter was likely far from what his elder brother described as a simple task.

If it truly were that simple, why would the True Body not simply dispatch one of its subordinate forces?

Could it be that, among the elite under the Celestial Sovereign of the People, there was no capable subordinate to handle such a matter? Could it be that, in fact, it was absolutely necessary to assign Zhou Zhan—the strongest warrior under his command—to carry it out?

This "small matter" may well be far from ordinary.

Yet since Zhou Zhan said nothing more, it meant there was no need for him to intervene. The Supreme Lord of All Evil now held profound respect for Zhou Zhan, and thus remained silent.

Still, he produced a square token of deep violet hue and presented it to Zhou Zhan.

On the front face of the token was carved the character [MAG].

On the reverse was etched a miniature map of the Ultimate Void Battlefield.

The Supreme Lord of All Evil said, "Brother, this is my Magistrate's Seal. A fragment of my will is embedded within it. Should you ever find yourself in need of my assistance, simply channel your will into it—and I shall appear instantly before you."

"I know you don't need my help."

"But perhaps lend a hand anyway, brother."

The Supreme Lord of All Evil chuckled.

"Very well."

"I'll make no bones about it then."

Zhou Zhan looked at the token in his hand, then at the earnest expression of Wan Xie Mo Zhu before him. Knowing he could not possibly refuse, he nodded in agreement.

He could see that Wan Xie Mo Zhu truly intended to help—this made his heart warm, gently, like sunlight through thin clouds.

This younger brother... seems... not bad at all.

Zhou Zhan thought.

Then, after a moment's reflection, he produced a token of his own and handed it to Wan Xie Mo Zhu.

"This is a token I personally forged—the Heavens' Mandate of the People."

"It contains a strand of my willpower within."

"If you ever find yourself in danger, you may reach out to this strand of my willpower, and I will instantly appear before you to save you."

He possessed the divine powers of the Ultimate Void Clan and commanded the portal of shadow realms—thus, capable of arriving anywhere at will.

So, to instantly appear before the Lord of Ten Thousand Evil Demons and save him, was no mere empty boast.

"Thank you, brother!"

At the sound of these words, the Lord of Ten Thousand Evil Demons was overjoyed and immediately took the token.

He gazed solemnly at the token etched with the nine-five sovereign dragon deity, knowing it might one day truly save his life—perhaps even more than once.

This was a genuine life-saving backup!

In the future, it might even surpass the life-saving artifacts granted by the Supreme Will.

With this thought, he carefully placed it into his world ring.

Zhou Zhan, seeing his solemn demeanor, smiled slightly, opened the panel, and then chose to exit the Ultimate Void battlefield.

The next second—

And there before Zhou Zhan and Wan Xie Mozhǔ appeared a gate stretching from heaven to earth.

"Brother Mozhǔ, take care."

Zhou Zhan said solemnly.

"Brother, take care!"

"If there's anything, always remember to call me!"

Wan Xie Mozhǔ replied with gravity.

Zhou Zhan nodded, then led his army through the gate, leaving the ultimate void battlefield behind.

Wan Xie Mozhǔ gazed at the gate slowly fading into nothing, his expression slightly dazed.

But then a smile bloomed upon his face.

He turned to face his army behind him and spoke loudly:

"Brothers,"

"Go home with us—let's have a grand feast, and tomorrow I'll give you a long holiday!"

"Let you... go home!"

Upon hearing this, the hundred million deities erupted into cheers.

At the same time,

Zhou Zhan had already passed through the Supreme Gate and returned to the Prajna Divine Capital.

He ordered Bai Yun to lead the army into a fourth-tier Supreme Divine cosmic vessel for rest, and they would set off again one hour later.

Their destination, however, was a realm they had never set foot in—the Crimson Great Cosmos.

"According to the original form,"

"The Tian Tu Army led by Wu Tu, through spies hidden within the Crimson Great Cosmos, has already obtained a piece of information."

Within the Scarlet Cosmos, a Scarlet Lord has already officially established the very first primary True God kingdom faction.

And speaking of this Lord, they happen to be an old acquaintance of the original body.

It is none other than that Aus, the one possessing a heaven-defying Lord talent and the ultimate boss-level Lord of the King of Kings event.

It appears that the grievances left behind from the past, including those between the Chaos Humans, are about to be completely and thoroughly settled.

A faint smile graced Zhou Zhan’s face.
