Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 653 - 627: Coveted by All Sides_1

The Red Dragon Starfield. It was one of the billions of starfields in the Second Heavenly Layer, located in the southern part of the cosmos. This starfield, with a diameter of five thousand light-years, possessed thousands of life-bearing stars, countless beings, and a thriving Immortal Way.

Here, powerful Heavenly Courts governed with divine pronouncements that became law, establishing order in the Immortal Way and ruling over millions.

Here, vicious demonic sects riddled the stars, causing chaos. Strong demon lords ran rampant for tens of thousands of miles, more than capable of opposing the Heavenly Courts.

Ancient races, passed down through generations, also resided here. They were dedicated to their growth, possessed formidable combat power, and were rarely provoked by others.

There was also a bloody battlefield of the All Clans, where major factions fought one another, leading to the destruction of sects and nations, and rivers of blood flowed for countless miles.

It was an ordinary day.

Suddenly, a booming voice echoed, resonating throughout the entire starfield.

In the cosmic expanse near the center of the Red Dragon Starfield, constant ripples appeared, torn asunder by a great power. A celestial gate materialized amidst the cascading aurora, as deep as a black hole, leading to an unknown place.

Witnessing this scene, many powerful Immortals were stunned.

Only a few well-informed Immortals, as if realizing something, showed a fervent gleam in their eyes. They mounted auspicious clouds and traversed the starry sky.

In the center of the Red Dragon Starfield lay a vast world with a territory of over a billion miles.

The ruler of this star was a faction known as the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court, which governed countless Immortals. They were the dominant power of the Red Dragon Starfield.

"A new world is ascending. Left General, go and retrieve some Celestial Liquid!"

Upon the throne in the massive imperial court, which spanned dozens of miles, sat the Molting Dragon Emperor. He wore a red dragon robe, and immeasurable celestial light enveloped him, obscuring his face, revealing only a pair of domineering eyes.

An overwhelming imperial might spread from him, a terrifying will that asserted supremacy and demanded the subjugation of all things.

The vast imperial court was filled with courtiers, numbering over ten thousand.

Each courtier possessed an extraordinary temperament, exuded immortal light, and their lowest cultivation level was above the Immortal Realm.

"I obey your command!"

A military officer stepped forward from the ranks of officials. He wore a red suit of celestial armor, was burly as a bear, with a back as broad as a tiger's, and emanated an intimidating aura.

Seeing him step forward, many court officials showed respectful expressions.

This individual was Jiao Hai, the Left General of the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court. He was a formidable presence in several surrounding starfields, known as the Wansheng General, and his cultivation had reached the Profound Immortal Realm.

The Profound Immortal Realm was the stage after the True Immortal Realm!

It was worth mentioning that the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court was a faction where Jiao Dragons represented the orthodox authority.

"Issue the order! Black Panther Army, advance and seize the Celestial Liquid!"

South of the Red Dragon Starfield, an earthshaking voice rang out, tinged with excitement.

In a beam of celestial light, a hundred-strong army flew out, clad in heavy armor and wielding blood-red blades. They had panther heads, their eyes glowed with red light, and they emitted a chilling, ruthless murderous intent.

"Issue the order! Seize the new world and enslave its inhabitants!"

North of the starfield, from a star enveloped by Demonic Qi, a hoarse voice emerged.

Immediately, the Demonic Qi billowed, and three emaciated figures stepped out. Amidst strange sounds, they vanished without a trace.

With the appearance of the celestial gate, the Red Dragon Starfield erupted into a frenzy.

This was because after a world from the Mundane Realm ascended, cosmic rules would bestow a gift: Celestial Liquid would rain down, washing away its mundane dust and transforming it into a Minor Chiliocosm.

For the ascending world, this was its first challenge upon entering the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

During this process, powerful entities from the starfield where the new world appeared would attempt to seize the Celestial Liquid. If the ascending world encountered more righteous factions, these would only take some Celestial Liquid and not cause further trouble.

However, if they were unlucky and encountered demonic cultivators, the loss would not be limited to mere Celestial Liquid.

At best, its inhabitants would be enslaved!

At worst, they would be utterly slaughtered, their remains serving as nourishment for the demonic cultivators' cultivation!

Such were the All Heavens and Myriad Realms—a world where one either ate or was eaten!

"Hongyi, I have divined that this newly ascending world is of the Human Race. You should go and protect them."

"It seems the days ahead for humans are growing increasingly perilous!"

In the eastern part of the Starfield, there was a continent radiating blue immortal light.

On a towering immortal mountain stood an old man with a youthful face and crane-white hair. His hands were clasped behind his back, his aura was elusive, and his eyes were as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

"Understood!"

A composed and mature youth, carrying an Immortal Sword on his back, bowed respectfully. Then, with a calm expression, he walked towards the starry sky.

"DING! Congratulations to the Host for turning forty years old. Sign-in reward: Yu Zhou Ding!"

"DING! Congratulations to the Host for ascending to the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. The partial seal on the summoned character, Jiang Ziwen, has been lifted!"

The system's notification sounds echoed in Qin Wudao's mind as he passed through the Immortal Gate.

Forty years!

Qin Wudao was taken aback, feeling slightly sentimental. Incredibly, I've already spent forty springs and autumns in this world, he thought.

Recalling the past forty years: the first fifteen spent lying low, the following twenty-five waging wars of conquest—unifying the East Ancient Domain, annexing the East Border, and ultimately uniting the world...

Kylin Holy Land, All Clans Saint's Court, Beidou Palace, the Eternal Temple, Immortality Mountain... Shen Youlin, Dizu, Jin Yinduo, Hun Tiandi, Yuzun, Jie, Luo Hou...

These images and names floated through Qin Wudao's mind, bringing a smile to his lips. No matter how difficult the journey, I succeeded.

He looked up, gazing at the immortal light beyond the world-enveloping firmament of the Nine Provinces Realm. His fighting spirit surged.

A small, primitive continent brought countless heroes to their knees!

If that's the case, how much more magnificent will the vast All Heavens and Myriad Realms be?

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang's body has started to decay and is emanating ghostly qi! Please, come and take a look!"

Just then, a guard ran over, his face etched with panic.

"Lead the way!"

Qin Wudao showed no worry upon hearing this, though he was somewhat curious. How powerful will a partially unsealed Jiang Ziwen be?

Moments later, led by the guard, he arrived outside a courtyard.

Before even stepping inside, he saw Buddhist light soaring into the sky, coalescing into a profound Sanskrit character. The sound of a Buddhist chant, like a great bell, reverberated, carrying the power to purify the world and suppress all beneath it.

Damn it! This oaf!

Qin Wudao's expression changed drastically. Jiang Ziwen is a deity of the underworld who cultivates ghostly power; he's directly countered by Buddhist power!

If Xuanzang's 'good intentions' lead to some mishap...

"Stop!"

Rushing into the courtyard, Qin Wudao shouted.

Xuanzang, who was in the process of casting a Buddhist seal to suppress the ghostly qi, paused, startled. He put his palms together and said, "Your Majesty, Almsgiver Jiang, he..."

After glancing at Jiang Ziwen and seeing he was unharmed, Qin Wudao sighed in relief and said sternly, "Rest assured, Jiang Ziwen is a deity from the underworld. This is merely a normal phenomenon of his awakening!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Realization dawned on Xuanzang. He recited a Buddhist phrase and then said calmly, "Amitābha. No wonder my Buddhist seal was ineffective! Fortunately, Your Majesty arrived in time. Otherwise, I was prepared to use the Vajrapani Palm to forcefully expel the malevolent energy!"

Qin Wudao's mouth twitched. This monk is ruthless!

BOOM!

Soon, a pillar of black light shot straight into the heavens.

Jiang Ziwen opened his eyes, and two beams of black light shot out. His Yin God power erupted, becoming exceptionally noble, like a supreme existence presiding over life and death.

"Your Majesty."

Jiang Ziwen slowly rose, bowed respectfully, and manifested in his soul form.

As for his physical body, once his soul departed, it completely disintegrated, transforming into myriad motes of black light that scattered through the air.
