I want, you must give.
If you don't give, I'll kill.
The City Lord's state is becoming increasingly abnormal.
In this situation, let alone destroying a few seventh-tier great worlds,
Even if they were to reignite the entire Eastern war, they wouldn't care.
As long as the City Lord is here, nothing is a problem.
If the City Lord meets misfortune, the entire East will not have peace.
"Hmph."
The Dragon King snorted, "If you want worlds, you want worlds. I will give them to you. Why create such a monstrous slaughter?"
The Immortal Emperor turned his head, looking at the Dragon King.
A sneer escaped his lips, "Do the things my Life and Death Realm wants require the Dragon King's alms?"
His voice boomed, full of provocation.
One must know, the Dragon King was the overt overlord of the Eastern Domain at present.
Whether it was the Sword Domain or the Life and Death Realm, compared to the Chaos Tribe, they were still somewhat weaker.
Yet the Immortal Emperor's attitude was extremely clear.
What I want, I will naturally take.
No one had the right to bestow anything upon the Life and Death Realm.
This was his attitude, and it was the attitude of the entire Life and Death Realm.
"..."
The Dragon King's voice faltered.
The next moment, boundless auras spread forth.
The Immortal Emperor was provoking the Dragon King.
*Clang.*
The Amatsukumo sword flew out from the Demonic Realm and plunged into the chaos.
"Dragon King, if your aura dares to step forward again, we will fight..." It was Chen Fan's voice.
The Dragon King frowned.
He was as familiar with Chen Fan as Chen Fan was with him.
"Something is wrong."
The Dragon King sensed something amiss immediately.
Chen Fan's attitude was off, and his tone carried a hint of tyrannical emotion.
This emotion had never appeared before.
He knew Chen Fan's personality; he didn't care much about anything, except for being petty and holding grudges.
But now, he heard something unusual.
*Thump.*
The Dragon King's aura halted.
His gaze, however, was fixed on the Life and Death Realm. "City Lord Chen, long time no see. Why not come out and meet?"
A probe.
The Chaos Tribe, the Life and Death Realm, and the Sword Domain were not allies to begin with.
Their previous alliance was born out of necessity.
To save themselves, to survive, they could only join forces.
Now, the three sides were in a delicate balance, and this balance... could be broken.
Chen Fan's condition presented an opportunity for the Dragon King.
*Boom.*
Boundless auras spread.
Behind the Dragon King, figures emerged one after another.
Eight-tier beings, not counting the Dragon King, there were seven. This also excluded those who were away on missions.
Including the Golden Crow, the Phoenix Lord... and other eight-tier beings on assignments.
This meant that the Chaos Tribe now had over ten eight-tier beings.
*Clang, clang.*
The Amatsukumo sword vibrated.
Not out of fear, but due to Chen Fan's will.
If the Dragon King dared to step forward again, the Amatsukumo sword would strike.
Simultaneously, in a chaotic region extremely far from this place, a sword light shot into the sky.
The Sword Master.
With such a major event, how could the Sword Master not sense it?
He did not speak, only signaled with his sword intent.
Individually, the Life and Death Realm and the Sword Domain were not as powerful as the Chaos Tribe.
When facing the Chaos Tribe, the two sides had to stand together.
"..."
The Dragon King stopped in his tracks.
The Sword Master's stance made him hesitate.
Once a war broke out, no one could guarantee what would happen.
The Dragon King never feared battle, but now... he hesitated.
Perhaps he would fight Chen Fan and the Sword Master in the future, but certainly not now.
The three of them, at this moment, had to stand on the same side, facing the pressure from the West and the South simultaneously.
"Heh heh."
In the end, the Dragon King could only chuckle, "Since it's inconvenient for the City Lord, then forget it."
"However... City Lord Chen, you must take good care of yourself."
*Boom.*
As soon as the words fell, in the distance, Old Demon Chu returned, dragging a world with him.
He had obtained it.
After the Life and Death Realm consecutively destroyed nine seventh-tier great worlds, someone had finally shown good sense.
Giving it up was much better than dying.
"Mirage Realm."
This great world cultivated the Dao of Mirage Qi.
It wasn't strong, but it wasn't weak either.
At the same time, Chen Fan's voice echoed from the Demonic Realm, "Tell them to come back..."
One great world was enough.
"Yes."
The Immortal Emperor received the order and relayed it in all directions.
The powerful beings scattered outside quickly returned.
In the Eastern Domain, the surviving seventh-tier great worlds had already prepared to flee.
Now, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"We are safe."
Realm Lords wiped the non-existent cold sweat from their brows.
This was... too terrifying.
"Let's go."
The Dragon King led his people away.
But before leaving, he still left a message: "City Lord Chen, this situation, I don't want to see again. If it happens next time, then... we fight."
Once was enough, any more would be a slap in the Dragon King's face.
Even if it meant igniting a war across the entire East, the Dragon King wouldn't care.
During this period, the Chaos Tribe had developed increasingly well and was not afraid of a fight.
"Don't worry."
Chen Fan had no intention of provoking a war either.
Both sides knew clearly that their greatest enemies were the West and the South.
The Dragon King retreated.
Under the Sword Master's deterrence, even though he knew Chen Fan was having problems, he could only choose to leave.
He didn't know if the other party's problem was major or minor.
The Immortal Emperor clasped his fists towards the direction of the Sword Master.
He said no more.
*Boom.*
Old Demon Chu pulled the world back.
This was a seventh-tier great world. Even though Old Demon Chu himself was seventh-tier, it was still a strenuous task to pull it.
*Chirp.*
Lietian returned.
His speed was very fast, and he helped Old Demon Chu pull the world back.
At this moment, Chen Fan emerged from the Demonic Realm.
He said nothing, merely nodded, and then plunged into the Mirage Realm.
"This..."
"City Lord..."
At this, everyone clearly saw the City Lord's appearance.
The dissipating aura was becoming more and more tyrannical.
The power of the Great Dao was in disarray.
"What exactly happened?" everyone's expression turned grave.
The City Lord was their banner.
In everyone's eyes, the City Lord was an undefeated legend.
Now, the City Lord had a problem.
It was too obvious.
If the City Lord truly encountered any issues, it would be a disaster for the entire Life and Death Realm.
Everything they possessed now was brought by the City Lord.
But they were helpless, they could only watch.
Even eight-tier beings couldn't do anything.
"It's fine."
Fortunately, the City Lord's voice sounded.
This one sentence was more comforting than many.
Before entering the Mirage Realm, the City Lord could still consider their emotions.
...
Mirage Realm.
Chen Fan directly entered the Dao Universe.
The world brought back by Old Demon Chu, apart from the Dao Universe, was completely preserved.
The Dao Universe was preserved, and the origin was still there.
This origin was a gift from heaven and earth; individuals could not take it away.
Inside the Dao Universe, Chen Fan stumbled towards the origin of the universe.
*Buzz.*
The universe origin, beating like a heart.
It had not dried up, proving that this world was still alive.
It had merely fallen into dormancy.
If it were left here, after hundreds of thousands of years, this world would completely die.
A living world was what Chen Fan wanted.
"Yin Yang."
Chen Fan mobilized the agitated power of the Great Dao.
Yin and Yang flowed, beginning to strip away strands of Dao threads.
Each strand was a component of the Great Dao.
Each strand required him to manually strip it away.
