Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Turbulence in the Starry Sky, Chaos in Shenzhou, Disciple Marches to War
“As you command!”
Although reluctant, Saint Emperor Lingwei was still forced to descend and head deep into the starry sky.
He was left with only his Primordial Spirit, his strength merely seventy percent of his peak stage, not enough to deal with Saints of the same tier, but more than sufficient to sweep across the nearby starry sky that lacked a Saint’s presence.
In the vast starry sky.
Saint Emperor Lingwei, with his hands clasped behind his back, appeared indistinguishable from a physical body despite only having his Primordial Spirit, thanks to reaching the Saint Realm. His strength, though, had been cut by thirty percent.
“Where should I go first?”
“The ancestral star of the Soul-Devouring Clan seems like a good place to start. Let’s check it out and find an opportunity to possess a body for reincarnation, which will allow me to unleash eighty percent of my strength.”
Saint Emperor Lingwei murmured to himself.
Rip!
He tore through the void, and in the next moment arrived near the Soul-Devouring Clan’s ancestral star, which looked as if a tenth of it had been sliced off like a piece of fruit. A sweep of his Divine Sense allowed him to grasp the situation inside.
Rumble…
At that moment, a vast expanse of thunderous light surged in the starry sky.

Someone was undergoing tribulation!
Beneath the Tribulation Clouds.
The Ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Clan was stubbornly resisting the lightning, his body scorched black, yet he persevered with gritted teeth.
In the end, he succeeded!
With the help of the Origin Force Crystals bestowed by Mist Saint and Saint Emperor Lingwei, the Ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Clan ascended to the Four-Turn Quasi-Saint level.
Although his foundation was unstable and his combat power was below average among his peers, he had finally broken through.
“I may be a bit weak, but I’m strong enough to deal with the Sect Masters of those top powers in Shenzhou.”
The Ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Clan smirked.
“Not bad, you haven’t disappointed me,” Saint Emperor Lingwei appeared behind the Ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Clan, his voice suddenly ringing out and giving him quite a scare.
“Ouch, you scared me to death, it’s Lord Saint Emperor.”
The Ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Clan patted his chest and said, “Thank you, Saint Emperor, for bestowing the Origin Force Crystal. Now, this subordinate is ready to attack the Shenzhou Continent… Eh, where is Lord Mist Saint?”
The last question made the corner of Saint Emperor Lingwei’s mouth twitch.
This damn Ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Clan, always asking such heartbreaking questions… Saint Emperor Lingwei cursed inwardly.
After a moment of hesitation, Saint Emperor Lingwei said coldly,
“He’s in seclusion!”
“This time, I’ve come to see how well you’re prepared. Since you have ascended to the Four-Turn Quasi-Saint, then start making your move against Shenzhou!”
“Your subordinate obeys!” The Ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Clan quickly nodded.
With his strength breakthrough, he was no longer the reclusive elder of before but a supreme powerhouse capable of unleashing peak power, enough to sweep through vast regions of Shenzhou.
“Time the attack at your discretion. I am quite busy and have other matters to attend to.”
Having said that, Saint Emperor Lingwei left the ancestral star of the Soul-Devouring Clan.
…
Atop a massive platform.
The Ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Clan stood there, looking down at the tens of thousands of Soul-Devouring Clan members kneeling on one knee in the plaza below.
They were all of Divine Origin Realm!
In the sky.
Several dozen Great Powers of the Void Break Realm were also hovering.
This was the confidence of the Soul-Devouring Clan!
“My sons!”
“This elder has now ascended to the Four-Turn Quasi-Saint.”
“The future belongs to our Soul-Devouring Clan!”
“From this day forth, we shall join forces with the Celestial Reincarnators in Shenzhou to simultaneously attack Shenzhou and seize our territory. Are you willing?”
The Ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Clan began his pre-battle speech.
His voice resounded clearly, echoing throughout the region like the voice of the Heavenly Dao, thundering in the ears of these Soul-Devouring Clan members.
“We are willing to fight!”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
“The opportunity to expand our territory has arrived!”
The Soul-Devouring Clan members were filled with fighting spirit.
From their birth, they were indoctrinated with incorrect worldviews, such as:
The Shenzhou Continent was their hunting ground.
Invading Shenzhou and seizing resources would strengthen the ancestral star of the Soul-Devouring Clan, gradually nurturing it into a Middle Thousand World, or even a Great Thousand World.
At that time, it would be the Soul-Devouring Clan’s victory!
Because of these beliefs, the people of the Soul-Devouring Clan were all berserkers, filled with endless greed and longing for Shenzhou.
“Kill!”
The Ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Clan tore through the void, leading these tens of thousands of strong members into a secret realm. Through there, they entered an affiliated continent of the Shenzhou Continent.
That was an area demolished by a massive battle.
Using this location as a springboard, tens of thousands of Soul-Devouring Clan experts entered the vast northern seas of the Shenzhou Continent.
“We’ve finally arrived!”
“I smell many sweet scents.”
“Ah!”
“So this is Shenzhou!”
The experts of the Soul-Devouring Clan sneered as they formed groups of ten and stealthily infiltrated into Shenzhou, killing as they went.
The Crimson Moon Compass could only track the Celestial Reincarnators and was ineffective against the Soul-Devouring Clan, so aside from the Heavenly Dao Remnants, no one knew about the large-scale infiltration of the Soul-Devouring Clan into Shenzhou.
The Nine Great Holy Lands, Five Great Forbidden Zones, Nine Great Mountain Ranges.
One by one, the avatars in the Saint Realm opened their eyes.
They received a warning from the Heavenly Dao Remnants.
“People from the Starry Sky Mighty Races have slain their way into Shenzhou, right in the northern region, and there are as many as tens of thousands of them!”
“Moreover, more Outer Realm Evil Spirits are continuously invading!”
“They are the Starry Sky Mighty Races near Shenzhou!”
Jiaoyang Realm.
After receiving the message, Jiaoyang Ancient Saint’s avatar abruptly opened his eyes, his expression drastically changing.
He quickly summoned Yuzhu.
“An invasion by Outer Realm Evil Spirits?” Upon hearing the news, Yuzhu’s face was filled with shock.
“Spread the message, alert all the major powers. We need to be vigilant not only against the Celestial Reincarnators but also against the Outer Realm Evil Spirits to avoid being caught in a pincer attack.”
Jiaoyang Ancient Saint’s avatar reminded in a heavy tone.
“Yes.” Yuzhu hurriedly left the Jiaoyang Realm, relaying the message to the City Lord of the Jiaoyang Holy City, who then passed it on down the ranks.
Within half a day.
Including Misty Sect, countless forces had received this information, and all were on alert.
Misty Sect.
Upon learning the news, Gong Qingqiu immediately convened all the Elders, Disciples, Stewards, and Spiritual Beasts of the Misty Sect at the Sect Main Plaza to disseminate the information.
“An invasion by the Outer Realm Evil Spirits?”
“It seems Shenzhou will become even more chaotic!”
“Yes, if some powers resist the Outer Realm Evil Spirits but get stealthily attacked by the Celestial Reincarnators, that would be quite bad.”
“Our Shenzhou is bound to suffer heavy losses!”
The Supreme Elders of the Misty Sect all showed worried expressions.
“All disciples heed my command!” Gong Qingqiu’s voice rang out clearly, “Starting today, whenever disciples of our Misty Sect venture out, they must form teams and be vigilant. If you encounter Outer Realm Evil Spirits, those capable should strike; those not should immediately report to the Sect for support.”
“Yes!”
The disciples erupted in a loud and unified voice, like a thunderous deluge that shook the earth.
“Kill!”
In no time at all, the disciples of the Misty Sect embarked on their journey to battle, taking precautions by ensuring each team was accompanied by three Divine Origin Realm experts for safety.
Brother Flathead, Ao Chuan, and other Spiritual Beasts also joined in.
Even the golden fat goose joined in, waddling along with the disciples to battle the enemy.
The eighteen Supreme Elders certainly did not idle.
They acted as Protectors for the disciples, concealing themselves in the void above, never letting the disciples stray from the range of their Divine Sense.
In the depths of the starry sky.
Saint Emperor Lingwei arrived at the ancestral land of the Prophet Clan, nodding at the Prophet Clan Leader, who had also ascended to the Four-Turn Quasi-Saint level, and said, “Not bad, you have broken through as well.”
“Saint Emperor, did Mist Saint not come?”
The Prophet Clan Leader looked around, which irritated Saint Emperor Lingwei to the point of grinding his teeth as he scolded:
“He’s in seclusion! He has no time to come here. Now listen well, immediately launch an assault on Shenzhou, and make no mistake!”
After giving the instructions, Saint Emperor Lingwei quickly departed.
Within one day.
He traveled across this part of the starry sky, mobilizing dozens of Starry Sky Mighty Races. In a short time, nearly a hundred Quasi-Saints and nearly a million Divine Origin Realm experts invaded Shenzhou.
The prelude to a great war was gradually unfolding.
Thunder Palace.
Ye Feng remained in seclusion.
“Ding!”
“Detection of Starry Sky Mighty Races invading. Sect Leader’s seventh-stage task first item officially begins. Happy hunting!”
The System notification sound slowly rose.
But Ye Feng did not hear it.
At that moment, he was caught in a near-death slumber, his consciousness hazy and chaotic.
