Chapter 1429: Chapter 1429: The Onslaught of the Ancient Heavenly Master【4 Releases】

The Lord of the Sea Crossing’s expression subtly shifted.

He abruptly ordered the army of Tribulation Crossing Heaven to vanish with him from the Divine Martial realm.

“They’ve retreated!”

Many of the powerful figures in Divine Martial were taken aback. The retreat of the Lord of the Sea Crossing was far too abrupt—one moment he was brimming with bloodthirstiness, and the very next, his entire army had withdrawn.

“Your Majesty, there is certainly something suspicious here.”

The War God stepped forward, frowning as he said, “Their retreat is likely due to some internal upheaval within Tribulation Crossing Heaven; otherwise, there’s no reason for them to pull back so suddenly.”

“The War God is correct.”

Meng Tianhe voiced his opinion as well, saying, “Although the Lord of the Sea Crossing can’t do much to Your Majesty, they are capable of external encirclement, strangling layer by layer, and blocking our development. The urgency of their withdrawal suggests that the Lord of the Sea Crossing likely needs to deal with something back in Tribulation Crossing Heaven.”

Chu Yuan nodded.

Indeed.

If they were to enforce a blockade, the external realms outside Divine Martial would become a significant strategic burden for Chu Yuan.

“Perhaps it has something to do with her.”

Chu Yuan faintly deduced some possibilities, saying, “The God of Time and Space!”

“Present!” The God of Time and Space stepped forward.

“Go at once, investigate Tribulation Crossing Heaven’s situation. Enter the Guangyu Alliance; they are bound to know more.”

Chu Yuan issued the command. He had to learn more about the situation.

Was it that something had indeed changed in Tribulation Crossing Heaven, or was this another ploy by the Lord of the Sea Crossing?

The God of Time and Space disappeared immediately.

Within the Guangyu Alliance, the air was equally tense and abuzz.

Although they dared not directly aid Chu Yuan, this did not prevent them from closely monitoring intelligence.

“The Lord of the Sea Crossing made his move, but the Divine Martial Emperor is pushing back. He cannot overpower the Divine Martial Emperor, and the two have reached a stalemate!”

The Vice Alliance Leader spoke.

“So in other words, even within the Divine Martial Dynasty, not even a Primal Divine Spirit can do much against the Divine Martial Emperor!”

The Guangyu Alliance Leader was genuinely surprised.

He had long known that the strength of Divine Martial was nothing to scoff at.

Originally, he thought that barely holding back the onslaught of Tribulation Crossing Heaven’s forces would already be an accomplishment. Unexpectedly, they had managed to stalemate the Lord of the Sea Crossing directly.

Leveraging the empire’s strength and Primal Divine Artifacts was, undoubtedly, a skill in itself.

“Alliance Leader, this benefits us.” The Vice Alliance Leader, Shui Lan, remarked.

“Indeed, it seems that a single Primal Divine Spirit is insufficient against Divine Martial. It would take more. The longer the stalemate, the fiercer the conflict, and that works to our advantage.”

The Guangyu Alliance Leader’s mood improved as well.

“However, we can’t just sit idly by and watch.” Shui Lan added, “Helping out when times are easy is one thing, but aiding during dire straits holds greater value. While we don’t need to give it our all, offering some strategic support is necessary so the Divine Martial Emperor recognizes our goodwill.”

“You’re absolutely right. I’ll give the order to deploy forces to harass Divine Martial on the periphery. I have a Primal Divine Artifact specializing in escape. If the Tribulation Crossing Heaven forces arrive, we simply withdraw.”

The Guangyu Alliance Leader decided.

“Alliance Leader.”

A sudden voice resounded.

“Enter, please.”

The Guangyu Alliance Leader invited the God of Time and Space in, knowing this individual was one of Divine Martial’s elite forces.

“His Majesty sent me to gather intelligence. Earlier, the forces of Tribulation Crossing Heaven withdrew abruptly, and the Emperor wishes to know what happened within.”

The God of Time and Space explained.

“Ah, so that is the reason.”

The Guangyu Alliance Leader nodded slightly. “I’ve heard a bit. A female Primal Divine Spirit seems to have abruptly appeared within Tribulation Crossing Heaven. She is suspected to be the Heavenly Lord of the ancient Origin Heaven.”

“Understood.”

The God of Time and Space left instantaneously.

“Your Majesty, the situation has been clarified. A figure resembling the Heavenly Lord of Origin Heaven appears to have intruded into Tribulation Crossing Heaven. A confrontation is likely already underway.”

The God of Time and Space reported back upon returning.

“The Divine Maiden Yanran. So it *was* her!”

Chu Yuan had predicted as much.

[Choice One: Enter Tribulation Crossing Heaven, assist the Divine Maiden Yanran, and gain sixty thousand Destiny Points and x1 Divine Enthronement Token.]

[Choice Two: Stay out of Tribulation Crossing Heaven, gain sixty thousand Destiny Points and x1 Random Divine Treasure.]

“Divine Maiden Yanran’s presence in Tribulation Crossing Heaven at this moment is very likely tied to me. I possess the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle; it’s only right that I take a trip into Tribulation Crossing Heaven. This is also an excellent opportunity to investigate matters for myself.”

Chu Yuan swiftly made up his mind. “God of Time and Space, I have two pieces of Jade Purity Divine Elixer here. Take two of them; Ye E, you take one piece.”

The first dose of the Jade Purity Divine Elixer had the most pronounced effect, but by the fourth, its utility diminished.

Chu Yuan needed an elite at the true Fifth Realm to oversee the dynasty in his stead. The God of Time and Space had the highest potential and was the closest to attaining such a state.

“You will both stay and guard the dynasty.”

Chu Yuan vanished from the divine realm in an instant.

“So His Majesty has gone to Tribulation Crossing Heaven.”

Blood Rose sighed.

She recalled when she first met Chu Yuan, even a minor sect like Heavenly Tribulation Sacred Sect had posed an enormous threat to him. Yet time had moved on, and now even Tribulation Crossing Heaven was wary of the Divine Martial Emperor.

Tribulation Crossing Heaven.

One of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Their might was beyond doubt.

Within the Tribulation Crossing Sect, the central hub of the realm, all of Tribulation Crossing Heaven’s elite forces had assembled. They stood on high alert, their expressions grave, watching a woman stride toward them, step by step.

“Master of Origin Heaven, as expected, you have come.”

The Lord of Tribulation Crossing gazed at the Divine Maiden Yanran. He showed no surprise, as he had long anticipated her arrival.

“Though you were once a Heavenly Lord, you’ve lost your domain. I know your powers are formidable, but unfortunately, you’re no longer the Master of Origin Heaven from the Primordial Era.”

The Lord of Tribulation Crossing could sense her unfathomable depths.

In those distant times, he had taken advantage of the weakest moment of Origin Heaven to destroy it, seizing the title of one among the Thirty-Three Heavens and elevating himself to the apex of Primal Divine Spirits.

The survival of the Master of Origin Heaven had always been a cause for her to bear boundless hatred toward him, considering him her greatest adversary.

Yet to his bewilderment, the Master of Origin Heaven bore no sign of anger or turbulence on her face—she appeared calm, almost eerily so.

“I’ve come to reclaim what was once mine.” The Divine Maiden Yanran’s tone was mechanical and emotionless.

“There’s nothing left that belongs to you. What was yours has long since been destroyed. The endless river of history has wiped out Origin Heaven. Why have you chosen to awaken?”

The Lord of Tribulation Crossing spoke slowly.

“What you desire, I will never yield to you.”

Th𝗂𝘴 𝓬hⱥp𝙩ɛr ḭʂ p𝗼𝐬𝖙𝙚ⅾ b𝙮 𝘒𝚒ƚ𝑒𝙣Օ𝓋ᥱ𝙡

Though his tone remained calm, the great formations around him had already been activated. This foe was far more threatening than Divine Martial; unless she was utterly annihilated, he would know no peace.

“Heavenly Lord!”

At this moment, the Lord of the Sea Crossing led his army back to Tribulation Crossing Heaven.

He glanced at the Divine Maiden Yanran, then transmitted his account of the situation in Divine Martial to the Lord of Tribulation Crossing via sound transmission.

“The matter of Divine Martial can wait. The greater threat now is the Divine Maiden Yanran. Her arrival is fortuitous. If she remained in the multiverse, I would have no way to deal with her. But her step into Tribulation Crossing Heaven is a step into her doom!”

The eyes of the Lord of Tribulation Crossing radiated divine brilliance.

He had anticipated her arrival.

During the battles of the Primordial Era, he and the Divine Maiden Yanran had never directly crossed swords.

At that time, news had already spread that the Master of Origin Heaven had perished, spurring him to act ahead of others to destroy the weakened Origin Heaven.

Now, he was fully prepared.

In truth, this battle was planned in two stages.

He had remained in Tribulation Crossing Heaven to guard against the Master of Origin Heaven. If she never appeared, the Lord of the Sea Crossing would continue to keep Divine Martial under siege.

But the arrival of the Master of Origin Heaven simplified matters.

If she dared to show herself, he would unleash his utmost power to encircle and annihilate her.

Without the threat of the Master of Origin Heaven, dealing with Divine Martial would be trivial, and he could leverage his full might against it.

What puzzled him most, however, was her reasoning. Knowing well the suppressive forces she would face within his domain, why would she still choose to step into this trap?

Ultimately, it no longer mattered to him.
