Heaven was the least mysterious among the six special worlds.
At this moment, under the control of the Lord of Heaven, a canopy made of Saint Light slowly descended, completely exposing the appearance of Heaven within.
Led by Angel Priests, one squad after another of the Heavenly Expeditionary Force marched out of Heaven and into the Cosmic Sea.
At the forefront was none other than the Time High Priest, Alifa, who led the vanguard onto the path of the expedition.
As the expeditionary forces arrived in the Cosmic Sea one after another, half of them had already followed in Alifa's footsteps and set off on the journey.
The remaining half stayed in place, standing in formation and waiting.
At this time, there were no other living beings inside Heaven except for the Lord of Heaven; the guests in the several Holy Cities had all been asked to return.
The Lord of Heaven flew out of Heaven, the light wings behind him shedding scattered specks of light, like dust occasionally shaking off a moth's wings.
When the Lord of Heaven reached the Cosmic Sea, four beams of Saint Light erupted from behind him. The Saint Light chained those specks of light together, linking Heaven and the Lord of Heaven.
After completing this, Heaven's Saint Light Canopy descended once more, shielding the interior of Heaven.
The four chains of Saint Light remained connected to the Lord of Heaven. Step by step, he walked forward, and with each step, he dragged the massive world of Heaven forward just a little bit.
Although he was the World Lord and could control this special world, that was only within the world itself. Now in the cosmos, he could only rely on his own divine power to move this incredibly colossal world.
The remaining half of the Heavenly Expeditionary Force surrounded the Lord of Heaven, guarding him in the center of the formation.
In this manner, they advanced toward Hell, step by step.
Because the Lord of Heaven had to carry an entire world on his back, the speed of the entire army was extremely slow at the beginning.
However, as the army slowly got moving, this pressure was gradually distributed through the Saint Light and faith, spreading to the rear, into the affiliated worlds of the Heavenly Pantheon, and onto every believer of Heaven.
Consequently, the Lord of Heaven's steps grew faster and faster.
At first, afterimages appeared, making his movements difficult to track.
Eventually, he transformed directly into a beam of flowing light, shuttling through the myriad worlds at high speed.
A special world accelerated to such a terrifying degree generated an absolutely staggering amount of energy.
To prevent innocent worlds along the path from being affected, five Titled Angels cleared the way ahead, knocking the worlds in their path out of orbit one by one to forge a clear path for the Lord of Heaven.
Just like that, the two expeditionary forces—one in front, one behind—sped toward the location of Hell.
This news was also broadcasted by the surrounding information brokers and news merchants, quickly spreading across the myriad worlds.
In the Land of the Undead, Chen Xu stood atop Shengyang, looking down as Miracle gave him real-time reports on Heaven's movements.
“Have they set out?”
“Yes, my Lord.”
“I see.”
Chen Xu stamped his foot. Understanding the gesture, Shengyang immediately rotated itself to adjust its angle.
Once it turned to the angle Chen Xu wanted, he stamped his foot again, and Shengyang stopped instantly.
Below, the necrotic archdukes noticed the sunlight spilling over them, along with a very obvious, warning sensation of burning. They raised their heads one after another, looking up at the sky, at Chen Xu.
“Heaven has already set out. If you want to move your territories, hurry up. When the time comes, I won't wait for you.”
“Understood, Lord of the Undead.”
Having spoken, Chen Xu ordered Shengyang to rotate again, changing its direction.
Leaving only a group of necrotic archdukes sighing to themselves on the ground.
None of them wanted to move from their ancestral homes, but under Chen Xu's tyrannical pressure, they had no choice but to pack up their belongings and leave the Land of the Undead.
“Sigh, if I had known, I would have copied Alix back then and made an affiliated secret pocket realm as my territory. Now, all he has to do is sever it, saving so much worry and effort.”
“Heh, get to work. Stop dwelling on the past.”
While the ordinary necrotic archdukes harbored some resentment, even the veteran necrotic archdukes could not comprehend Chen Xu's thoughts. Nevertheless, they still supported him.
The Primordial Black Knight, Alix, remained as mysterious as ever, acting both concerned and unconcerned about everything.
The Three-Headed Bone Dragon Chimera, on the other hand, declared that Chen Xu's actions were too crazy, too overbearing, too interesting, and entirely to its liking. Thus, it decided to support Chen Xu with all its might and was willing to stay behind to participate in the battle after the world fusion.
The bone giant, Disaster Bone, had the most complicated feelings. On one hand, it did not want this former home to be destroyed.
But on the other hand, it wanted these special worlds that had caused their suffering to perish completely.
After weighing its options, it ultimately chose to support Chen Xu, electing to stay behind just like the Chimera.
In its own words:
“If this world is truly headed toward its end, then let me send it off on its final journey.
Consider it witnessing the final scene on behalf of the living beings who lost their lives due to the world advancement back then.”
Chen Xu naturally welcomed the undead who were willing to stay and help, especially since they were two veteran necrotic archdukes with very decent combat power.
Faced with such experienced, free labor, he had no reason to refuse.
With the support of the undead and the three paths of the Immortal, Martial, and Yokai, the demons were forced back. Even the thousands of Hell Archdukes could only barely cope against the powerhouses of the three paths.
The Seven Demon Kings of Hell also joined the battlefield, matched one-on-one by the top-tier powerhouses from both the undead side and the three paths.
Kunpeng and Sindragosa each sought out a demon king.
The two leading figures of the Martial path, Star-Plucker Bu Xingtian and Heaven-Opening Hand Chu Bawang, also clashed with two of the demon kings.
The remaining three were matched up one-by-one by experts from the Immortal and Yokai sides.
The Anti-Hell Army advanced with irresistible force. The Martial path, in particular, harbored deep-seated grudges; they unleashed the raw brutality of martial artists to the absolute limit, leaving the onlookers from the Immortal and Yokai paths thoroughly unnerved.
Soon, a game-changer arrived on this purgatory battlefield.
Time High Priest Alifa held his clock high, sending out ripples of time that froze the demons in place, leaving them to perish under various attacks.
Behind him, the praise priest choir led by dozens of Angel Priests chanted gospels, showering Saint Light across the purgatory battlefield and healing the forces of the three paths.
At the same time, this Saint Light precisely avoided the positions of the undead, preventing any friendly fire.
The arrival of the Heavenly Expeditionary Force tipped the scales of battle completely to one side.
The demons retreated in defeat, constantly forced back into Hell.
Right at that moment, a blinding streak of light shot over from the distance, its immense brilliance leaving everyone thoroughly shocked.
The Lord of Heaven gripped two chains of Saint Light in each hand, his face maintaining its usual calm composure.
Upon arriving, the Lord of Heaven erupted with incredibly blazing Saint Light, incinerating everything in his path.
Terrified by such mad behavior from the Lord of Heaven, everyone—whether undead, demon, or of the three paths—hurriedly parted to clear a path.
Immediately after, the Lord of Heaven unleashed the terrifying power of the Unique-tier. Exerting his strength all at once, the four chains of Saint Light were pulled completely taut.
“Hell, here I come!”
From within Hell, the voice of the Mother of Hell rang out.
“Damn it! Heaven, have you gone mad too?!”
The Lord of Heaven did not reply. Instead, he swung his arms, hurling the world of Heaven from behind him to his front.
The spectacular sight of using an entire world like a meteor hammer left everyone present marveling in wonder; even the Dao Lords had never witnessed such a scene.
After swinging Heaven to his front, the Lord of Heaven pressed his hands against the Saint Light Canopy. Saint Light gushed out, propelling Heaven to smash into Hell.
“Hell, merge with me! Let us bring this to an end!”
In the next instant, Heaven and Hell collided, producing an earth-shattering shockwave that instantly swept across the surrounding battlefield.
Saint Light and corruption intertwined as the Dao principles of Heaven and Hell repeatedly clashed.
Through repeated friction and repair, the world membranes of both sides actually began to slowly merge into one.
The Lord of Heaven had achieved his goal; Heaven had truly entered Hell.
This mad spectacle made even the Dao Lords, who were already mentally prepared, sigh with emotion.
“Have the myriad worlds really gone this mad now?”
