The Brahma Monarch God Realm's primary warship was moving at its maximum speed, leaving a long golden trail behind. Inside were fifty Brahma Monarch Elders, twelve of the fourteen Brahma Kings, the three Brahma Gods, and Qianye Fantian. They all wore heavy expressions.
When the Eternal Heaven God Realm had first come under attack, they had received distress calls from them. The message stated that the Star God Realm and the Moon God Realm were working together with the three king realms of the Northern Divine Region to launch a joint assault.
This information was so outrageous that they could barely believe it. The Star Gods and Moon Gods had a history soaked in grievance and hatred. The idea of them cooperating was ridiculous enough, let alone them working together with devils. And how had the devils even managed to escape the Northern Divine Region without anyone discovering it?
The king realms of the Eastern Divine Region were like European countries; they could fight and scheme against each other all they wanted, but once an outsider launched an attack, they would unite against the common enemy.
The same applies to the other Divine Regions.
However unbelievable it seemed, Qianye Fantian didn't dare to gamble on it being a prank. He recalled the Brahma Kings stationed outside, not hesitating to spend an absurd amount on the profound formations to teleport them back, because he knew that if what the Eternal Heaven God Realm was going through was real, then once they fell, it would be their turn.
So, for the sake of his Brahma Monarch God Realm, he had no choice but to help the Eternal Heaven God Realm. However, just as they were about to activate the teleportation formation and rush to their aid, the profound formation on the other side was destroyed!
This sudden collapse didn't just prevent the teleportation, because they were moments away from activating it when the explosion occurred, violent spatial storms erupted and engulfed them. Several Brahma Kings were injured, and four Brahma Monarch Elders were severely wounded.
Left with no choice, Qianye Fantian left behind two Brahma Kings and thirteen Brahma Monarch Elders to guard the realm before taking the profound warship and flying off to support them.
After traveling for some time, they witnessed a massive explosion in the direction of the Eternal Heaven God Realm. The sight was so unbelievable that even the usually calm and composed Qianye Fantian stumbled back a few steps, leaving deep footprints on the ship's surface.
What kind of power could actually destroy a king realm? Even if all the Divine Masters in the Eastern Divine Region worked together, they still wouldn't be able to erase a king realm so completely!
The scene was so shocking that Qianye Fantian nearly turned around on the spot, ready to return to the Brahma Monarch God Realm and activate the protective barrier, hiding himself like a turtle in its shell. He would have done exactly that if not for a sudden sound transmission from the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, informing him that the Dragon Monarch and the Dragon God Realm had arrived to support them.
A few hours later, as they drew closer and closer, they suddenly sensed powerful auras heading in their direction.
Among them, they recognized the familiar presence of the Star Gods and Moon Gods, and even the Dragons of Absolute Beginning. But there were also several unfamiliar auras, each one terrifyingly strong. The combined might of these forces was so overwhelming that it froze the blood of everyone aboard.
What had happened to the Dragon Monarch, the Dragon God Realm, and the other king realms? Had they all been defeated?!
"My king! What should we do?" The first Brahma King glanced at Qianye Fantian, his voice grave. Facing such overwhelming power, even if they went back and called on their two ancestors, victory was impossible.
And from the direction the auras were coming, it didn't take a genius to know where they were headed.
"..." Qianye Fantian said nothing at first. He stood still, staring into the distance for a long moment before finally speaking. "We will go and meet them."
...
On the other side, the moment Qianye Ying'er heard that the approaching ship belonged to the Brahma Monarch God Realm, her expression turned icy. She instinctively stepped forward, as if she wanted to be the first to see the ship with her own eyes.
A hand suddenly landed on her shoulder. Qianye Ying'er turned to the side and glanced at Yun Wuji.
"No matter what happens, I'll be with you."
He could sense the tangle of emotions running through her, deep, bitter hatred toward her father, mixed with the undeniable fact that he was her father. That alone brought hesitation and unease bubbling up from somewhere she didn't want to admit.
It was like standing face-to-face with a toxic ex, knowing you finally had the chance to get revenge, but still feeling that flicker of hesitation and nerves. Of course, most of the time, you still get your revenge anyway.
A few minutes later, the golden, colossal Brahma Heaven Warship came into view. Its speed dropped sharply as it began approaching them.
Inside the ship, everyone wore complicated expressions. By now, they had not only sensed Qianye Ying'er's aura, but they could clearly see her standing atop the Dragon Emperor of Absolute Beginning.
Back then, Qianye Fantian had valued Qianye Ying'er like no other. He had afforded every bit of indulgence and tenderness he had. But equally so, he had ruthlessly abandoned her when push came to shove. It was his modus operandi. It was why Qianye Ying'er became the way she did in the first place, and why they could easily imagine her hating him to the bone.
"My lord, are we going to fight them?" one of the three Brahma Gods asked. No one from the Brahma Monarch God Realm was weak-willed or cowardly. Each carried the pride and conviction that came with being part of the Brahma Monarch. But for the sake of the realm's survival and future, they could also concede, submit, and endure anything.
The other Brahma Kings and Elders also turned to their emperor, their expressions heavy. If he gave the order to fight, they would throw their lives at the enemy without hesitation, determined to take down as many as they could.
"No," Qianye Fantian said, surprising them all. "There is one last way."
"You all stay here inside the ship," he said, closing his eyes as he spoke. When he opened them again, there was only calm in Qianye Fantian's gaze. "Now that I think about it, it's been a long time since I last saw Ying'er."
Qianye Fantian flew out from the ship and slowly approached Yun Wuji's group. His face remained expressionless, and his aura was completely withdrawn, without the slightest semblance of the strongest God Emperor of the Eastern Divine Region.
He no longer carried the mighty, overwhelming presence he had when he stormed Yun Wuji's palace back in the Brahma Monarch God Realm, during the moment Qianye Ying'er escaped with him.
But who could blame him? He was facing over two hundred Divine Masters, and more than fifty of them were at the level of God Emperor. Some of them, like the Dragon Emperor and the Yama Ancestors, were much stronger than he was. Even if he were twice as strong as he was right now, he would still sensibly lower his head to appear harmless.
The Moon Eaters, Yama Devils, Dragons, and the Star and Moon Gods spread out almost instantly. They not only surrounded him, but also encircled the entire warship in a tight formation. Their auras alone were enough to stifle the breaths of the Brahma Kings and Brahma Monarch Elders.
"Long time no see, Brahma Monarch God Emperor." Yun Wuji slowly walked over and stared at Qianye Fantian. "It looks like you aren't doing too well, though."
A flicker of surprise appeared on Qianye Fantian's face when he heard Yun Wuji's sarcastic words. Then, with a look of realization, he spoke.
"You are that young man Ying'er brought with her when she escaped."
"No wonder…" he muttered slowly, before letting out a laugh. "Hahaha, no wonder."
"Fei Yang... No, that's probably not your real name, right? To think my greatest mistake since becoming a God Emperor was underestimating you," Qianye Fantian stopped laughing and spoke slowly. "I should have eliminated you the moment you stepped into the Brahma Monarch God Realm."
Rumble!
The space around Qianye Fantian twisted the moment he spoke. Yun Wuji's women and subordinates unleashed a violent surge of aura, pressing down on him like clusters of galaxies, causing the space around him to shudder and warp.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yun Wuji, nice to meet you," Yun Wuji said without seeming to care about Qianye Fantian's words. He wore the same light smile he reserved for those he planned to kill soon after. "You're wrong this time. Don't you know that people don't necessarily die just because they're killed?"
Back then, the body in the Brahma Monarch God Realm was just his Heretic God body. Even if that body was destroyed, it still carried a Nirvana Phoenix within it; he could always revive again.
"???" Qianye Fantian.
"Qian… ye… Fan… tian!"
At this moment, Qianye Ying'er had lost control of her killing intent the moment she set eyes on her father. It was to the point where every strand of her hair was swinging wildly, and the Divine Oracle wrapped around her waist was ringing aggressively.
There was a piercing sonic boom as Qianye Ying'er charged toward Qianye Fantian and attempted to kill him where he stood!
