Despite the Divine Realm's triumph over the Immortal Breaking Universe's invading forces, they did not relent in fortifying Star City. Instead, they redoubled their efforts, transforming it into an even mightier stronghold and a proving ground for the realm's most gifted warriors.
For years, tranquility reigned within the Realm of the Gods. Both the divine domain and the colossal Star City flourished, expanding at an astounding rate.
However, this serenity was abruptly shattered. A starship from the Canglan Universe breached the quietude, descending upon the Divine Realm with intentions to scour for something unknown.
The Divine Realm, standing firm in its sovereignty, refused entry to the Canglan interlopers, sparking a fierce conflict between the two cosmic powers.
Fortune favored the Divine Realm, for since the resurgence of the Heavenly Dao and the emergence of the Bright Moon Heart, formidable figures like Wu Xing and other sovereigns of similar stature had risen to prominence, bolstering their defenses and ensuring the Canglan Universe's attempts were in vain.
Over the past two years, the Canglan Universe launched relentless assaults on the Giant Starry Sky City, inflicting severe damage upon the Realm of the Gods. Yet, their efforts to breach the city's defenses proved futile.
In a pivotal battle just one month prior, the Divine Realm captured a high-ranking individual from the Canglan Universe and learned of impending reinforcements poised to enter their domain.
This incoming force boasted no fewer than three Martial Dao Gods of the Tyrant Realm, alongside a legion of half-step God Lords and Divine King titans.
The arrival of these Canglan reinforcements threatened to tip the scales irrevocably. The Divine Realm, recognizing the gravity of the situation, convened to strategize. It was decided that Wu Xing, their mightiest, would covertly venture into the starry expanse to intercept and engage the Canglan Universe's approaching forces.
After Wu Xing's departure, the Divine Realm found itself bereft of an overlord-level combatant, making a direct confrontation with the Canglan Universe unthinkable.
In recent days, the God Realm's mightiest warriors have virtually barricaded themselves, choosing to remain within the protective confines of the Starry Sky Giant City to engage with the forces from the Canglan Universe.
In the central hall of the Starry Sky Giant City, a gathering of the Divine Realm's powerhouses was taking place. Leading them was a woman of breathtaking beauty, reminiscent of a celestial being from a lunar abode.
This extraordinary woman was none other than Mingyue Xin, the esteemed Palace Master of the Moon God Palace. She held the distinction of being the first to ascend to the Sovereign Realm following the resurgence of the God Realm.
During her battle against the invading forces of the Immortal Breaking Universe, Mingyue Xin had resorted to forbidden techniques to vanquish a Great Celestial Realm cultivator from the enemy ranks, a feat that temporarily diminished her own cultivation level. After years of diligent recovery, she had fully regained her strength.
Flanking Mingyue Xin were Reverend Cang Ming and Wu Zhantian, both radiating profound auras. It was evident that they, too, had achieved the half-step Sovereign Realm, establishing themselves as undisputed masters of the martial way.
The hall was filled with other figures, but aside from these three, none could claim the title of half-step Sovereign expert. Among the attendees were renowned God Realm authorities such as Jian Wuxin, Gu Fenger, and Catherine Waters.
Clearly, the God Realm had experienced remarkable growth since the world's revival. In a mere decade, the strength of the Divine Realm had multiplied exponentially.
"Bright Moon Palace Master," Cang Ming interjected, breaking the silence with a grave tone, "there's been no word from Wu Xing since he ventured into the universe's starry expanse. I fear our defenses may not hold much longer."
Outside the colossal city, amidst the first wave of Canglan Universe powerhouses to descend upon the Divine Realm, five Domain-level combatants stood ready. Despite the swift progress of the Divine Realm, time had been too short. Even with Wu Xing's departure to intercept Canglan reinforcements in the Starry Sky Universe, the Divine Realm had only managed to produce four Martial Path Rulers.
Having recently advanced to the Domain level, their power was modest compared to the seasoned Martial Path Rulers of the Canglan Universe.
The departure of Wu Xing only exacerbated the challenge they faced.
Had Jian Wuxin, Gu Fenger, and Catherine Waters—the unparalleled prodigies of the God Realm—attained the half-step Sovereign Realm and acquired the prowess to challenge the Chief Sovereign of Martial Arts, their predicament would have been dire.
Yet, even without this, safeguarding the vast city seemed an insurmountable task.
"We must hold our ground at Starry Sky City; it's our last line of defense. We'll defend it with our lives if necessary," they resolved.
Mingyue Xin remarked with a hint of relief, "No news from Wu Xing is actually good news. It means he's successfully stalling the Canglan Universe's reinforcements."
A thunderous "Boom!" resonated as her words trailed off, shaking the foundations of the Starry Sky Giant City and startling everyone.
Years of tireless fortification had made the Starry Sky City a stronghold, one that even a master of martial arts would struggle to breach.
However, the might of the Canglan Universe was overwhelming. The relentless assaults from its Martial Dao Rulers were too much for even the stalwart defenses of the city.
"It seems the city's defenses won't hold much longer. Let's assess the situation outside," Mingyue Xin declared, a steely resolve in her eyes. In a flash, she soared above the sprawling cityscape.
Cang Ming, Wu Zhantian, and other experts from the God domain swiftly joined her, taking to the skies above the beleaguered city.
"Mingyue Xin, do you truly believe this grand city can halt the advance of the Canglan Universe? Surrender now, and I might spare you," taunted an adversary. "Otherwise, the city's fall will herald your demise!"
Outside the Starry Sky Giant City, a striking young man in billowing white garments stood with an air of confidence at the forefront. His voice, cool and commanding, echoed across the cosmos.
He remained there, a figure of stillness, exuding a fearsome icy aura that seemed to chill the surrounding stars themselves.
Flanking the young man in white, four formidable figures stood shoulder to shoulder, each radiating an aura as potent as those of Adept Cang Ming and Wu Zhantian. It was evident that they were all masters of the Tyrant Realm.
Arrayed behind these five God Rulers, nearly a hundred God Kings and thousands of World Gods aboard the Interstellar Warships poised for battle, as if merely awaiting the command to besiege Starry Sky City.
"The Navy Tide Universe has nearly completed its mobilization. It appears they're intent on a fight to the finish with us," one observer noted.
Cang Ming Zhenren surveyed the scene, his eyes taking on a shadowed cast. "The reinforcements for the Navy Tide Universe are on the brink of arrival. They could easily wait to join forces before launching an attack. Why choose to engage in a do-or-die battle now?"
"We'll employ the voodoo execution to hold the Navy Tide Universe's reinforcements at bay. They could likewise use their incoming forces to counter our voodoo execution," another strategist proposed.
A cold glint sparked in the depths of Mingyue Xin's striking eyes. "We've reached the point of no return. Prepare for an all-out confrontation with the Canglan Universe."
