Chapter 692: Chapter 366 Eye of the Heavenly Dao, Chaos in the Divine Realm_2

The Divine Bridge is but a rule and not a strong one—it merely possesses the capability to connect the Spiritual Realm with the Divine Realm. With Li Xuan’s current strength, as well as his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws, connecting to the Divine Bridge was a simple task.

The Divine Bridge appeared, and everyone was excited and thrilled.

At the same time, they were relieved that the Spiritual Realm was home to such experts, otherwise, a disaster would have been inevitable.

The Spiritual Realm would likely have perished!

The Divine Bridge was restored, but no mighty figures appeared from the Divine Realm.

Logically, since the Divine Bridge had collapsed and now was restored, powerful entities from the Divine Realm should have come to investigate.

But none appeared!

A heavy weight fell upon the hearts of the powerful entities in the Spiritual Realm!

Such a situation indicated that the state of affairs in the Qinghua state of the Divine Realm was dire.

“Let’s go!”

Li Xuan spoke indifferently.

The Flying Boat transformed into a streak of light, landing on the Divine Bridge, and headed toward the Divine Realm.

Wu Tianan took a deep breath and stepped onto the Divine Bridge, both excited and nervous.

Was the person he was searching for truly in the Divine Realm?

Was that person still alive?

All these questions remained unanswered.

But no matter what, he would keep searching.

“Follow!”

Emperor Da Zhou and other supreme experts from the Spiritual Realm looked sternly at the prodigies and spoke.

The group stepped onto the Divine Bridge, and shortly after their crossing began, the Hongzhou end of the Divine Bridge started to fade, disappearing into invisibility.

Each time one boarded the Divine Bridge, there was a time limit. Once someone stepped onto the Divine Bridge, it would vanish between heaven and earth when the time was up.

All those who wished to travel to the Divine Realm needed to board the Divine Bridge within a set time—the Divine Bridge waited for no one!

The Divine Bridge spanned the Azure Sea, reaching straight to the other shore, implying that the Divine Bridge was exceedingly long.

The Flying Boat moved slowly along the Divine Bridge. Xu Yan and several others curiously observed the Divine Bridge, even trying to comprehend the Divine Bridge Rule, eager to uncover how the Divine Bridge existed.

Because of the slow progress, this journey felt somewhat prolonged.

Finally, they saw the other end of the Divine Bridge at the Azure Sea’s other shore, lying before a narrow canyon, a fissure as if torn open between heaven and earth.

Vaguely, it seemed as if they could see beyond the canyon, a vast, expansive land lay there.

…

Divine Realm, Qinghua state.

The Qinghua state, adjacent to the Spiritual Realm, is the gateway opened by the Divine Bridge, one of the Thirty-six Realms of the Divine Realm.

The time for the Divine Bridge to open again had arrived.

However, this period was not peaceful in the Qinghua state, which was amidst great upheaval in the Heavenly Grotto.

The Qinghua state was ruled by three major forces: the Tianwu Sect, the Myriad Thunder Sect, and the Da Yue Dynasty.

Besides these three powers, other forces were mere vassals, existing only by obeying the commands of the three major forces.

Apart from these three, there was another force within the Qinghua state called the Blood Shadow Tower. It was formed by martial artists who had pledged allegiance to the Netherworld Cave, and it had always been a thorn in the side of the Qinghua state.

Despite countless efforts to eradicate them, they were never fully destroyed. Periodically, they would emerge to cause chaos, even collaborating with the Netherworld Cave to invade the Qinghua state.

The turmoil in the Qinghua state had begun years ago, initially just due to the regular disturbances caused by the Netherworld Cave.

With the opening of the Divine Bridge imminent and calculating the time, the Spiritual Realm was about to send its prodigies to the Divine Realm again.

As expected, under the Tianwu Sect, the Thousand Martial Hall opened the illusory bridge, and a Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable from the Tianwu Sect descended into the Spiritual Realm, prepared to escort the prodigies back.

Due to the threat from the Netherworld Cave, the three major forces were somewhat united, forming alliances with each other.

Across the entire Divine Realm, the situation was more or less the same, as the greatest threat to the Divine Realm was, after all, the Heavenly Grotto.

Each force bore the responsibility of suppressing the local Heavenly Grotto.

The enemies of the Qinghua state’s Heavenly Grotto all originated from the Netherworld, with hundreds of large and small grottos, but only three significant Netherworld Caves existed.

Conveniently, the three major forces each undertook to guard one of the Netherworld Caves.

The conflict with the Netherworld Cave had persisted for countless years, with many Netherworld Blood Disciples slain and likewise, many martial artists from the Qinghua state had fallen.

However, there are equally numerous great figures that have risen from the slaughter in the Netherworld Cave. While the Heavenly Grotto is a threat, it is also a treasured site, yet it is extremely dangerous.

By slaying the Netherworld Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves who invade, one can obtain treasures from beyond the Divine Realm, even from beyond this Domain.

That’s why warriors from Qinghua state, despite knowing the dangers of the Netherworld Cave, still went there to battle.

Apart from the rewards given by the three major powers, one could also obtain some treasures from within the Grotto.

Thousand Martial Hall opened the Divine Bridge, and the Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable from the Tianwu Sect, representing the three major powers, arrived in the Spiritual Realm and brought back the nurtured Spirit Body Prodigies.

According to past practices, these Spirit Body Prodigies would break through to the Condensation Law Realm within three years of entering the Divine Realm.

Once they broke through to the Condensation Law Realm, they could go to the Heavenly Grotto to preside over a territory, considered a minor powerhouse.

This time, it seemed that an accident had occurred.

After the Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable from Tianwu Sect arrived in the Spiritual Realm, he never returned until the Divine Bridge disappeared, suggesting some mishap had occurred in the Spiritual Realm.

The Tianwu Sect planned to send a powerhouse to descend to the Spiritual Realm again, but a massive invasion from the Netherworld Grotto they were guarding forced them to abandon the idea.

The chaos in the Grotto grew increasingly rampant, and what shocked the three major powers was that a warrior from the Immortal Realm emerged from the Blood Shadow Tower!

Immortal Heavenly Venerable, how few are there in the entire Qinghua state?

The Immortal Heavenly Venerable from Blood Shadow Tower suddenly ambushed the Immortal from the Da Yue Dynasty presiding over the Grotto, and teamed up with a Netherworld Blood Child within the Grotto to injure the Immortal Heavenly Venerable from the Da Yue Dynasty.

It was then that a large-scale invasion from the Heavenly Grotto occurred, and endless Blood Shadows ravaged the Da Yue Dynasty, marking the beginning of a great chaos.

Tianwu Sect, Myriad Thunder Sect, and others had to send support to the Da Yue Dynasty while facing the threat of their own territory presided over by the Grotto, literally torn apart by the dilemma.

Coincidentally, the Divine Bridge had opened.

Necessarily, a True King from Myriad Thunder Sect, who had returned from fighting in the Heavenly Grotto, set off for the Spiritual Realm.

Unexpectedly, at the moment the Divine Bridge opened, the Heavenly Grottoes across the entire Qinghua state erupted, and the Blood Shadow Tower caused chaos everywhere, one Grotto after another failed.

Blood Slaves slaughtered into Qinghua state, and even more Blood Disciples stepped into the state, causing Qinghua state to face a most severe crisis.

The powerful individuals of Qinghua state appeared one after another, suppressing the Netherworld Grotto, and everywhere they killed the rebels, blocked the Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves.

Even more shocking, the Divine Bridge collapsed!

The Spiritual Realm had been invaded by the Heavenly Grotto!

That True King was even slain!

Several True King Heavenly Venerables from Myriad Thunder Sect prepared to go to the Spiritual Realm for a rescue, but were intercepted on the way, constantly in battle, never able to descend to the Spiritual Realm.

Now, the entire Qinghua state was in chaos, with Netherworld Blood Disciples raging, and city after city being blood sacrificed.

Even more warriors from Qinghua state, in despair, turned to join the Netherworld Blood Disciples, participating in the blood sacrifice.

At one time, all three major powers were overwhelmed and unable to spare any effort to rescue the Spiritual Realm, especially since the Divine Bridge had collapsed, only the Immortal Heavenly Venerables could arrive in the Spiritual Realm without relying on the Divine Bridge.

At this moment, any Immortal could not leave their post, needed to deter the Netherworld Blood Child, to prevent them from invading Qinghua state.

“We must seek help!”

The three major powers were trapped in a fierce battle, and the entire Qinghua state seemed to have turned into a hell on earth, with some of the more remote, weaker cities now becoming cities of the dead.

Only a faint blood mist lingered in the cities.

“Open the Realm Gate, seek external help!”

Emperor Da Yue, holding a Long Spear, stood at the edge of the Heavenly Grotto, confronting a blood-red figure inside the Grotto.

Da Yue Country had fallen!

Neither the Tianwu Sect nor the Myriad Thunder Sect were able to come to the aid currently, and without external help, the casualty rate for Da Yue Country was unimaginable.

“Yes!”

A robust man, dressed in silver armor and wielding a long blade, responded solemnly.

Open the Realm Gate!

For the thirty-six realms of the Divine Realm to interact swiftly, they must rely on the Realm Gate, which directly crosses to another realm.

The Realm Gate’s existence is not man-made, but formed from the condensation of the Heaven and Earth Laws, emerging when the Divine Realm divided into thirty-six realms after a great change in the heavens and earth.

The thirty-six realms are interconnected, but the Realm Gate is in the central part among the thirty-six realms, within the control range of the strongest forces in each realm.

Once opened, one can go directly from the central region of one realm to another, saving the time of long treks.

It is also an important channel for mutual assistance among the thirty-six realms.

At this moment, with Qinghua state in chaos and Da Yue Country in crisis, external help is necessary, even though the adjacent realms might be in turmoil, but as long as they have the resources, they will inevitably provide assistance.
