Chapter 1589

One by one, the Void Trees took root in the balls of light. As the green leaves swayed, waves of pure energy were absorbed by the roots, refined, and sent to the trunk of the trees. Finally, the energy was injected into the world.

As far as the eye could see, there were dozens of Void Trees working without rest, and under the roots of the Void Trees, there were many balls of light that represented the Domain Worlds entwined around them.

As the pure energy in the Domain Worlds was absorbed, the balls of light that lost their spirit energy crumbled one by one and disappeared into nothingness.

Zi Chen sat cross-legged in the perfect Domain World.

He was now on the verge of a breakthrough.

The balls of light around him exploded one by one. The pure spirit energy in them turned into a storm that swept into the distance.

On the other hand, Zi Chen's vast world was expanding at a rate visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, a huge amount of energy was being consumed.

As the Domain World expanded, Zi Chen's aura also slowly increased. Finally, he advanced from the peak of the middle stage to the late stage of the sixth stage. He was only a small step away from the minimum requirement to enter the Battlefield of Despair.

It had been twenty years since the destruction of Wusted. In these twenty years, twelve of the thirteen alliances had been destroyed. Only the Storm Faction remained.

The faction's name … was the Storm Faction.

By the time Zi Chen walked out of the Domain World, Ke Lei had already finished refining all the energy.

Twenty years had passed, and Ke Lei, who had followed Zi Chen, had improved his strength by leaps and bounds. His realm had risen from the initial stage of the Fourth Layer to the peak of the Fifth Layer. He was only a step away from the Sixth Layer.

Under Ke Lei's witness, Zi Chen had destroyed twelve factions. He already knew that Zi Chen's strength was at the sixth stage. As for the fifth stage, it was just to confuse others.

In the process of destroying the twelve factions, he had encountered many dangers. Injuries were common, but fortunately, he had survived every time.

"Congratulations on breaking through again, my lord. Shall we go and destroy the Storm Faction now?" Ke Lei's face was full of anticipation.

He had thought that the Black Nether Tiger's words were just a joke. He didn't expect that after twenty years, twelve of the thirteen alliances had been destroyed. There was only one left.

However, this last one was also the strongest.

Zi Chen glanced at Ke Lei and said, "You don't have to go this time."

"I'm not going." Clay was startled.

Zi Chen smiled faintly and said, "We've already destroyed 67 of their forces. They've already been alerted. Perhaps they're waiting for us right now."

"But Sir still wants to go?" Ke Lei didn't understand.

"We've already destroyed twelve of them. What's one more?" Zi Chen chuckled.

Knowing the location of the storm, Zi Chen set off alone. However, Ke Lei insisted on following him. He made it clear that he would only watch from the outside of the storm and would not go in.

The storm was thousands of miles away from Zi Chen's place of seclusion, but to the two of them, this distance was nothing.

While Zi Chen and the others were on their way to the storm, in another direction, there was also a small group of five people heading in the same direction.

Two of them were at the ninth stage of the Domain Realm and the other three were at the eighth stage of the Domain Realm.

A young man was in the middle of the team. He was only at the eighth stage of the Domain Realm. Beside him were two ninth stage Domain Realm cultivators. As they walked, the two ninth stage Domain Realm cultivators deliberately slowed down the young man by half a step. Their expressions were respectful. It seemed that their cultivation levels were high, but their status wasn't as high as the young man's. They seemed to be his guards.

"Young Master, according to the news, the person coming is very strong. Once you encounter him, please don't be rash," a ninth stage Domain Realm cultivator beside the young man said.

The young man smiled and said, "Ke Wei, you've said this more than ten times along the way. Don't you find it annoying?"

The ninth stage Domain Realm cultivator smiled embarrassedly and said, "It doesn't matter if it's annoying. As long as Young Master is safe."

The young man waved his hand and said, "He's only at the fifth stage. Even if he's strong, how strong can he be? Could he be stronger than a higher life form?"

"Young Master, you mustn't be careless. He must have suppressed his cultivation level. He said he's at the fifth stage, but it's very likely that he's at the ninth stage," another ninth stage Domain Realm cultivator said.

"There's no need to be afraid of a ninth stage Domain Realm cultivator. Don't we have the two of you? Moreover, there must be other people in the storm. We have the absolute advantage in numbers. As long as he dares to come, he'll definitely die." The young man still didn't care.

"That's true. But Young Master, you must know that there's a difference between the strong and the weak in the ninth stage Domain Realm. If he's a ruthless character from the Battlefield of Despair, he's definitely not someone you can suppress with numbers," Ke Wei said beside him.

The young man laughed and said, "If he's really from the Battlefield of Despair, he won't be able to fight after knowing my identity. In this region, oh no, in the entire Royal Sky Region, who dares to not give face to the Wang Clan?"

The two eighth stage Domain Realm cultivators didn't say anything. As for the two ninth stage Domain Realm cultivators, they couldn't help but feel worried after exchanging glances.

The Wang Clan was indeed powerful. In the entire Royal Sky Region, there were very few people who didn't give face to them. However, this didn't include those powerful existences in the Battlefield of Despair.

"Ke Wei, didn't you come from the Battlefield of Despair? Why are you so unconfident?" The young man suddenly said.

The other three looked at Ke Wei in astonishment. Clearly, this was the first time they had heard of this.

Ke Wei's face had a trace of awkwardness as he said, "There's a difference between the strong and the weak in the Battlefield of Despair. I've only stayed there for a year."

The other three looked at Ke Wei in astonishment. One must know that it was already very impressive to be able to survive for a month in the Battlefield of Despair, let alone an existence who had lived for a year.

Although they were all the young master's guards, they didn't know each other well.

The young man asked curiously, "Everyone says that the Battlefield of Despair is very dangerous. Ke Wei, tell us, exactly how dangerous is it?"

A trace of fear appeared in Ke Wei's eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said, "That place is considered … erm … hell. It's very normal to die there. Anyone who walks out alive is a demon."

"Oh, then you're considered a demon too."

"No, I'm just a little brat at most."

As they exchanged questions and answers, the group of five wasn't far from the storm. At this moment, they saw two people.

A young man and a middle-aged man. Looking at the middle-aged man who purposely walked behind them, they could tell that the young man was also a disciple of an aristocratic family.

However, he only had a guard of the fifth layer. Compared to the young man from the Wang Clan, he seemed a little too shabby.

The young man from the Wang Clan looked at the young man not far away. There was contempt and disdain in his eyes as he said, "It's indeed a poor place. Even a fifth layer can be considered a guard."

Beside him, Ke Wei said loudly, "Young master, not everyone is from the Imperial Sky Region. In fact, a fifth layer isn't weak here."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zi Chen glanced at the five of them expressionlessly.

If they continued on this path, their final destination would be the storm.

"Sir."

Even Ke Lei, who was at the peak of the fifth layer, felt his heart tremble when he saw the five of them. Hence, he called out softly.

Zi Chen shook his head lightly. However, he slowed down his pace, intentionally letting the five of them go first.

The five of them were much stronger than the two of them. After mocking them a few times and seeing that the two of them didn't respond, they lost interest and walked straight ahead.

Zi Chen and Ke Lei were right behind the two of them.

"Sir, they are going to the storm." Ke Lei transmitted his voice.

"Should be. Two ninth layer and three eighth layer. The storm is quite popular."

Just as the two of them were discussing, the five people in front of them noticed that the two of them were following them.

"These two can't be allies of the storm, right?" The young man mocked.

"Impossible. I can beat a hundred of them with a single punch. The storm will only lose face if it finds such allies. Maybe he is the illegitimate son of one of the leaders of the storm." Ke Wei said indifferently.

Soon, the five of them arrived at the storm.

The structure of the thirteen alliances was similar. Almost all of them were people who occupied mountains and called themselves kings. Hence, their bases were all on towering mountains.

Behind the five of them, the two people who were following them had suddenly become one. Only the young man was left.

The young master of the Wang Clan didn't mind. However, Ke Wei frowned slightly.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they encountered guards. Even without the token, the guards didn't dare to stop the five of them.

But strangely, after letting the five of them pass, the guards didn't check Zi Chen either.

Ke Wei, who was walking in front, suddenly frowned and looked down.

"What's wrong?" The young man turned around and looked at the young man who was slowly climbing up.

Ke Wei shook his head. "Nothing. Maybe it's an illusion."

He had just felt a vague fluctuation of space power, but after carefully sensing it, he couldn't detect it.

As for the young man behind him, no one stopped him. He had a preconceived notion that the other party was from the storm.

Just like that, the five of them climbed up the mountain. Behind them, Zi Chen followed unhurriedly.

Suddenly, a group of cultivators walked out of the mountain path. These cultivators were patrolling guards. However, one of them was startled.

"Scared? Those are the allies of the lord. Now we are just waiting for that reckless guy to come up." A cultivator next to him laughed.

The cultivator rubbed his eyes again and stared straight ahead. Yes, he wasn't mistaken. The young man in black following behind the five cultivators was the demon who had once destroyed their faction.

This discovery made the cultivator's face filled with horror. He had the urge to scream out loud.

But at that moment, the young man suddenly turned around and smiled at him. Looking at the other party's devilish smile, the cultivator immediately covered his mouth with both hands, afraid that he would become the first person to be killed if he made a sound.

"Old Liu, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the cultivator next to him whose expression changed, a patrolling cultivator next to him asked in confusion.

The cultivator covered his mouth, his face filled with horror.

At that moment, a cry of surprise came from another direction. "It's him. He's that demon. He's coming to destroy the storm."

Twelve of the thirteen alliances were destroyed. Many of the survivors had joined the storm. At that moment, they recognized the demon-like figure at a glance.

Everyone around was startled and looked at Zi Chen.
