Chapter 1676: Civil War of the Nine Sovereigns

Lingxu Domain.

The morning light shone on the gravel ground in front of the ancient temple. A figure in blood-stained monk robes sat with his head bowed, motionless as if in meditation.

His body was covered in wounds resembling beast claws, and his body, already accumulated with toxins, was increasingly haggard and dark. His messy curly hair fluttered in the wind... These were injuries from last night’s battle. However, after a night of rest and settling, his aura finally stabilized.

“Finally...”

“It’s about to end.”

Lingxu Sovereign, like Chen Ling, seemed to have sensed the Red Star’s approach again. His weary eyes slowly opened, looking toward a certain direction in the sky.

He stood up slowly and looked down at the foot of Lingxu Mountain.

In the center of the domain not far away, the outline of a tall tower had already taken shape. Under the pressure of extreme high pressure and the fear of death, the people of the Lingxu Domain had paid a painful price and finally repaired the Akashic Tower almost completely.

The return of the Red Star, the reconstruction of the Akashic Tower, his own physical state... everything was timed perfectly, like a perfect result calculated thousands of times.

Then, next should be...

“Wu Tongyuan!!!”

“Come out... and die!!!”

When the Red Dust Sovereign’s thunderous voice appeared from beyond the sky,

The entire Lingxu Domain exploded.

“Is that the Red Dust Sovereign?!”

“It must be the Red Dust Sovereign!”

“Did the Red Dust Sovereign and Lingxu Sovereign have a falling out?!”

“Lingxu Sovereign acts against the grain and is tyrannical; who would still stand with him? Even his former companions among the Nine Sovereigns probably can’t stand it anymore!”

“Lord Red Dust Sovereign! Kill that tyrant! Kill him!!”

“He’s on Lingxu Mountain!!”

“We don’t want to live like this anymore! Kill Lingxu Sovereign! Avenge my dead husband and child!!”

“I support the Red Dust Sovereign taking over the Lingxu Domain!!”

“Red Dust Sovereign!!”

“Red Dust Sovereign!!!”

“Red Dust Sovereign—!!”

“……”

Under the extremely oppressive rule, the people of the Lingxu Domain had long been miserable. In everyone’s eyes, the Red Dust Sovereign had undoubtedly become the embodiment of justice and salvation... Perhaps only one of the Nine Sovereigns could kill another.

The grievances of the Lingxu Domain were boiling over!

At this moment, this domain that Lingxu Sovereign had protected for hundreds of years was shouting the name of the Red Dust Sovereign. They longed for their former guardian god to die, preferably without a burial place!

The blood-stained monk robes fluttered on the mountain. Lingxu Sovereign looked quietly at this boiling domain; no one knew what he was thinking at this moment...

He simply took a step, and his figure disappeared from Lingxu Mountain without a trace.

At the edge of the domain.

The Red Dust Sovereign, dressed in a white martial arts uniform, slowly stopped.

The black earth of the Gray Realm was already splattered with blood. Viscous and broken flesh and skin were scattered everywhere, as if thrown into a blender... And above these fragments, an incredibly powerful resentment could still be faintly felt.

That was the resentment of a World-Ending Calamity before death.

The Red Dust Sovereign’s expression changed slightly.

Wang Calamity... dead?

According to the Red Dust Sovereign’s original plan, she was going to use Wang Calamity’s power to hold back Lingxu Sovereign for her... But now, Wang Calamity had been completely wiped out outside the Lingxu Domain.

It seemed Lingxu Sovereign had guessed her actions long ago and had taken the initiative to detonate Wang Calamity, this unstable bomb, a step ahead... He had anticipated it and had the courage to put it into practice immediately. Not everyone could do that.

Moreover, killing a World-Ending Calamity one-on-one was a peak record that humanity had never seen before!

Lingxu Sovereign... was far more powerful than she had imagined!

“...Disappointed?”

A calm voice rang out.

The Red Dust Sovereign looked up and saw the figure in blood-stained monk robes stepping on the void, walking slowly out of the Lingxu Domain. His messy curly hair fluttered gently, and a pair of deep eyes were looking down at her.

“You wanted to use Wang Calamity’s power to deal with me... I won’t give you that chance.”

The Red Dust Sovereign’s eyes narrowed slightly: “But, it still injured you.”

“So what.”

Lingxu Sovereign said indifferently, “This is the Lingxu Domain, my home turf... Even if I’m injured, you cannot defeat me here.”

The Red Dust Sovereign was silent.

Just as she had said before, without Wang Calamity’s containment, her chances of winning were definitely not high if she fought Lingxu Sovereign alone in the Lingxu Domain... Lingxu Sovereign’s preemptive layout had completely tipped the scales of victory.

Just then, a faint sound of thunder echoed continuously from above the Lingxu Domain.

The sky, which had been quite bright, dimmed visibly, as if a behemoth was blocking the domain’s sunlight and slowly descending...

Blocking the clouds and sun, the world was devoid of light.

Seeing this, the Red Dust Sovereign was slightly stunned.

Then, as if remembering what Chen Ling had told her before coming, a faint smile curled at the corner of her mouth:

“...Oh?”

“Then what if... we add one more person?”

The clouds in the dim sky were stirred, and inverted skyscrapers broke through the mist, sinking toward the earth like a landslide. Clean streets, magnificent houses, colorful window shadows... It was an artwork more perfect than any domain, like a kingdom of gods in the clouds falling into the human world.

And at this moment, above the inverted kingdom, no human figures could be seen, only dense golden coffins standing in every corner. From a distance, it looked like a golden starry sky, solemn and dignified, mysterious and silent...

This scene stunned every resident of the Lingxu Domain and also caused a flash of astonishment in the Red Dust Sovereign’s eyes.

Hum—

The black wizard’s robe danced in the wind.

Above the inverted eternity, a figure with a Philosopher’s Stone embedded in his forehead opened his eyes among the endless golden coffins.

The moment he opened his eyes, the mighty pressure of the Nine Sovereigns poured down from the nine heavens. He looked up at Lingxu Sovereign on the ground, his cold eyes filled only with endless determination and killing intent!!

“The era must be reversed; the world must be restarted...”

“Wu Tongyuan...”

“You must die.”

As Wuji Jun raised his hand, the inverted Eternal Domain beneath him immediately erupted with black pillars of unknown material, surging toward Lingxu Sovereign like a pure black forest descending from the sky.

Unlike the Red Dust Sovereign, Wuji Jun didn't intend to waste a single word on Lingxu Sovereign, as if his appearance here was solely to kill him... Everything else was unimportant.

The Red Dust Sovereign and Wuji Jun, these two mortal enemies from the Red Dust Domain era, were standing on the same front at this moment, and their goal was one and only one...

Kill Lingxu Sovereign!!

Three auras of the Nine Sovereigns level erupted simultaneously. Among them, Lingxu Sovereign’s pressure was incomparably surging. The moment he opened his domain, the entire domain seemed to become a part of him!

“Do you think...”

“You can kill me?”
