Mighty and imposing, the Mechanical Divine City loomed, suppressing all before it. When machines gained life, they also gained emotions—and limitless potential for growth. This city was the most terrifying of war weapons, for machines with life knew no fear. They fought without retreat.
Clank!!
The grinding roar of gears echoed from the city. Suddenly, countless ferocious steel war blades emerged from its body, each flashing with a cold light capable of splitting stars. In an instant, the city became a whirling iron gyroscope bristling with blades, spinning violently, the weapons circling madly around it.
The entire city hurtled toward the vast Boundary River, crashing down like a steel juggernaut.
"Mechanical Divine Emperor, today you will die! Come—let us finish the war left incomplete in the last era. This time, there must be a conclusion!"
The Lord of the Boundary River spoke coldly, his face grim. With a wave of his hand, endless waters of the Bondary River surged, transforming in an instant into colossal water dragons. They pounced ferociously upon the Mechanical Divine City, as if to engulf it whole. The strike was terrifying, carrying the strength of countless water worlds, drawn directly from the World-Ending Flood of Heaven. Even an Eternal Ark would be dragged into the currents and unable to break free.
Clang!!
The titanic blades whirled at high speed, colliding with the water dragons. One after another, the dragons were cleaved apart, torn into vast gashes, even severed completely.
But in the next moment, the severed bodies of the dragons dissolved into thick water-ropes, writhing like tentacles, lashing out to bind the city.
Water was one of the most troublesome forces in existence—seeping into every crevice, impossible to destroy. Even if the dragons formed from realm water were torn apart, their bodies would recondense in the very next instant.
Boom!!
But the Mechanical Divine City had long been prepared. From within, a massive Mechanical God Tower rose. At its peak, a golden sphere blazed to life, shining with radiant divine light. In a breath, it transformed into a miniature sun, burning with the searing flames of true solar fire.
That small golden sun plunged down into the Realm River.
This was none other than the city's ultimate assault weapon—the Solar God Tower.
It could condense miniature suns and hurl them at its foes. The power was overwhelming—enough to kill even a Hunyuan-realm powerhouse in an instant. Brutal beyond measure. When it exploded, it was as if a true sun had fallen, unleashing world-ending destruction capable of annihilating all things.
Against water, it was a natural nemesis—evaporating, burning, erasing entire water worlds within the River.
The sun's fall raised waves that reached the heavens. Vast torrents of water were burned to nothingness, evaporated into void.
Boom!!
And with the Mechanical Divine City's appearance, one Eternal Ark after another emerged from the void.
Among them was a colossal mountain peak, its summit blazing with murderous aura, the characters for Slaughter gleaming across the stars. Like a supreme heavenly blade, it descended upon the Lord of the Boundary River.
"Hmph! Just as I expected—you filthy rats have come. Did you think we would be unprepared? Though schemes and tricks forced my Eternal Night vanguard into the Nightmare World, you will never comprehend the true depths of Eternal Night!"
As the Slaughter Peak struck, one of the thirteen blood moons of Eternal Night suddenly transformed into a massive blood-red crescent, a colossal lunar blade descending from the void, slashing toward Slaughter Peak.
The Thirteen Blood Moons of Eternal Night were the highest-grade Heavenly Demon God Weapons of Eternal Night—ancient peak treasures, half a step into the Primordial level itself. Their mere presence allowed Eternal Night to endure, unmoving, as eternal anchors in the void.
They were never moved lightly.
Even in the last great era's war, the Thirteen Blood Moons had never emerged—remaining to guard the Eternal Night Continent's very foundation. Such was their unfathomable depth. But now, with their vanguard broken in the Nightmare World and the powerhouses of the last era returning, even the Lord of the Blood Moon had no choice but to act. This was the battle that would decide the fate of two realms.
Clang!!
This blood moon was the Moon of Wrath, dwelling place of the Lord of Fury. Flames of scarlet anger blazed upon its surface, making its power swell endlessly—the greater the rage, the greater the force.
In an instant, Slaughter Peak was blasted back, a massive rift splitting its surface. The sight was terrifying, as though the entire mountain would be cleaved in two. Were it not an Eternal Ark, it would have been split apart already.
The unleashed force shattered billions of miles of starry sky, reducing countless stars to fragments. Both Eternal Night and Eternal factions alike faced apocalyptic ruin.
"Lord of Fury! This old Daoist shall battle you!"
A voice like heaven's decree thundered from the void. A vast violet palace descended, suppressing the heavens as torrents of divine lightning burst forth, transforming into countless weapons and treasures, bombarding the blood moon.
The Purple Firmament Palace, the weapon of Hongjun, fell upon the Moon of Wrath.
"Hongjun, today you will die!"
The Lord of Fury sneered, charging headlong into the storm. The two supreme war weapons clashed violently, lightning and moon blades alike tearing stars and shattering void.
"Eternal Night Continent—we failed to invade in the past. Today, we will fulfill that wish! Ten Thousand Demons (Myriad Demon) City, charge! Smash into Eternal Night! Who dares face me?"
From the void, the River of Time and Space appeared. Upon it sat a colossal divine city, suppressing the vast river itself. Upon the supreme throne within, a figure in divine robes sat—majestic, domineering, his black eyes radiating endless authority. Beside him stood a massive golden war blade, thrust into the ground.
At a glance, hearts trembled, seized with dread, none daring to meet his gaze.
Endless demonkind worshiped and prayed to him.
This was the Demon Ancestor, Ancestor of All Demons.
Compared to him, even Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were but children not yet grown.
"The Demon Ancestor—the true progenitor of demons—he really exists!"
Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes constricted violently, their hearts roaring.
Clang!!
Emperor Shitian drew the Tiger Soul Saber, unleashing a single strike toward another blood moon. The blade tore through time and space, leaving behind ten-thousand-zhang of dazzling saber light. Stars shattered along its path, annihilated by the domineering will contained within, amplified by the power of desire.
Boom!!
The saber light cleaved into the blood moon, splitting it open with a resounding tremor.
"Well struck, Demon Ancestor! Today, it is kill or be killed!"
From within the blood moon came a wail filled with sorrow. The moon split the skies, hurling itself into the River of Time and Space, releasing an endless tide of demonic soldiers.
These were mourning troops, charging with desperate fury against the Ten Thousand Demons City.
The war erupted completely.
The shockwaves alone made the River of Time and Space quake violently, stirring colossal waves and throwing its powers into chaos.
"Eternal Night—this final battle has come at last! Kill!!"
At the end of the epoch's river, a colossal bronze warship appeared, its sails unfurled, blazing with endless divine radiance. At its prow jutted a terrifying ramming horn, sharp enough to pierce worlds with ease.
The Martial Tomb!
The enormous Eternal Ark surged forward upon the river, sailing as though time were water, space the wind, and eras the waves. With impossible speed, it rammed straight into the Blood Moon of Sorrow.
Crack!!
The impact detonated the river, the massive horn skewering the blood moon like a cake, unleashing destructive force to tear it apart.
"Martial Ancestor—you must die!!"
From the Eternal Night Continent came roars of rage as six more blood moons streaked into the sky, rushing to assault the Ten Thousand Demons City and the Martial Tomb.
The River of Time and Space descended into complete chaos.
Wind and Thunder City charged into the river.
White Bone City emerged as well.
The entire river became a battlefield—an apocalyptic warzone.
One after another, half-step Primordial-grade treasures appeared: Eternal Arks, Heavenly Demon God Weapons, Demon God Battlefortresses.
Supreme divine powers and devastating war techniques split the river wide.
Eternal Arks flooded the starry battlefield, clashing with countless Celestial Demon Arms of Eternal Night.
Stars became nothing more than cannon fodder.
A single cannon blast annihilated billions of miles of void.
A single clash destroyed hundreds, even thousands of worlds.
The fires of war spread, engulfing Eternal Night Continent and every realm of the Eternal side.
The Eternal Night Continent itself was struck by Eternal Ark war techniques, vast swathes of land shattering into fragments. Demon God Battlefortresses rammed into Eternal realms, smashing them into ruin, entire lands sinking beneath the void.
