The words of Soul Extinction were not just empty threats; even if Ming Huang’s cultivation had become stronger than before, Soul Extinction was still confident.

"The Nether Clan is struggling for survival and yet dares to threaten our Divine Tower. It’s as if Ming Huang has forgotten that Lord Feng is the Honored Elder Delegate of the Divine Tower," Mie Yuan said coldly.

Mie Jian sneered, "I’d like to see how the Nether Clan makes us restless and uneasy."

"Master, Feng Hun Shan has appeared in the Seven Divine Realms. Could this mean that a great war is about to begin?" Mie Di asked respectfully, for the time of great war had passed, and who could say the Temporal-Spatial Divine Realm wouldn’t suddenly attack?

"What is not meant to come will not come; what is meant to come will always come. Focus on your cultivation in seclusion. The Seven Divine Realms are about to face a great disaster," Soul Extinction’s voice echoed.

"A great disaster?" Mie Di and the others couldn’t help but change their expressions dramatically.

Since Soul Extinction mentioned a great disaster, it could only mean a great disaster indeed.

To hear the words "great disaster" from Soul Extinction, Mie Di and the others found it hard to imagine what kind of scenario it would be.

And the first thing they thought of was the Temporal-Spatial Divine Realm attacking the Seven Divine Realms.

Unbeknownst to them, the Temporal-Spatial Divine Realm had already been swept by Dantong alone and was now under the submission of Feng Wuchen.

...

In the Nether Clan’s palace, Ming Huang was in a thunderous rage, murderous aura surging to the sky.

"Father, what do we do now? What should we do?" Ming Yang was at a complete loss, terrified out of his wits, lacking any semblance of a young master’s demeanor.

"Why panic? If the Nether Clan can survive this calamity, we certainly won’t spare the Divine Tower!" Ming Huang glared fiercely at Ming Yang, roaring ferociously.

"Clan Leader, let us not be rash; our Nether Clan may not be without a way out. Luo Tianran was brought in via Zhu Sha’s connection to the Holy Realm, and since they failed this time, other Holy Realm powerhouses will surely intervene. Why not visit the Great Archon Temple?" The Great Elder, Ming Shigu, suggested calmly, appearing rather composed.

"Clan Leader, the Great Elder speaks wisely. Now that the Guardian Spirit Clan is destroyed, the fate of the Nether Demon Palace is uncertain, and other major forces can hardly fend for themselves. We can only rely on Zhu Sha," the protector Qing agreed.

"The Nether Clan and Zhu Sha have already fallen out. Do you think a plea from me would do any good?" Ming Huang said grimly. It’s humiliating enough to go to the Divine Tower, let alone the Great Archon Temple.

"Clan Leader, how would you know it’s useless if you don’t try?" Bai Xiaotian’s laughter suddenly resonated through the Nether Clan’s grand hall.

"Bai Xiaotian!" The Nether Clan members were all astonished.

Ming Huang asked gloomily, "Bai Xiaotian, what do you mean by this? Are you mocking me? You’re not qualified! If you dare speak one more word, I’ll kill you. Know that my current strength surpasses Zhu Sha!"

"Clan Leader, you misunderstand. This protector has no such intention," Bai Xiaotian appeared out of thin air in the Nether Clan’s grand hall, completely unfazed by the threat.

Fixing a sinister gaze on Bai Xiaotian, Ming Huang asked coldly, "Is that so? Then what do you mean?"

Bai Xiaotian smiled faintly, "Because of your concern for Luo Tianran’s strength, the Clan Leader had no choice but to submit. For this, the Great Main God is very understanding, which is why I am here to invite the Nether Clan to form an alliance."

"Alliance?" The senior members of the Nether Clan were overjoyed, for this was precisely the outcome they had hoped for.

Especially Ming Yang, who seemed to see a lifeline, wiping away the despair and fear from before.

An alliance?

Zhu Sha is this kind-hearted?

Could there be a hidden scheme?

Ming Huang clearly did not trust it, but there was no retreat now; an alliance was the only option.

If the alliance were rejected, the Nether Clan would have no chance of survival.

"If the Great Main God can understand, I am delighted. Since the Great Main God chooses to trust me, I agree to the alliance."

Ming Huang was not foolish; he knew Bai Xiaotian was giving him a way out, and furthermore, they came to the Nether Clan to propose an alliance. He wouldn’t refuse.

This alliance undoubtedly eased the Nether Clan’s predicament.

"The Clan Leader is indeed a straightforward person. Even the Hall Master of the Holy Soul has agreed to the alliance, although it’s unfortunate that the Guardian Spirit Clan and the Nether Demon Palace are now destroyed," Bai Xiaotian said with a faint smile, subtly reminding Ming Huang to gauge the situation.

With Luo Tianran dead, the only salvation for them was to ally with the Great Archon Temple.

Ming Huang and the others were no fools; they were astute. Zhu Sha must know the terrifying power of Dantong, yet still dared to propose the alliance, which already indicated Zhu Sha had enough strength to contend with Dantong.

"Soul Extinction, fate is not so cruel. This time, I wish to see how long you can remain arrogant!" Ming Huang said coldly, each word soaked in overwhelming murderous intent.

"Clan Leader, three days from now, you are invited to attend a feast at the Great Archon Temple. The Great Main God will host you all," Bai Xiaotian said with a faint smile.

"Very well! In three days, I will certainly attend." Ming Huang immediately regained his imperial demeanor.

"Farewell." Bai Xiaotian cupped his fists in farewell and vanished.

As soon as Bai Xiaotian left, Ming Shigu frowned and said, "Zhu Sha wouldn’t be so benevolent as to proactively propose an alliance, but an alliance is the only way to help the Nether Clan through this hardship."

"The Great Elder is indeed farsighted. To dare oppose Dantong at this time takes great confidence, which likely means they’ve received news from the Holy Realm," Ming Huang said with a cold smile.

"Luo Tianran was too arrogant, thinking himself above everyone else, his death was well-deserved, a far cry from Zhu Sha," Ming Shigu shook his head slightly.

After a pause, Ming Shigu continued, "Clan Leader, Zhu Sha is ruthless and cunning. He must be guarded against. Since he sent Bai Xiaotian to propose an alliance, it indicates that we still hold value, at least considering the Nether Clan’s not insignificant strength."

"The Great Elder speaks rightly, I am fully aware," Ming Huang said with a cold smile.

"Protector Qing, send someone to keep an eye on the Divine Tower. Act as soon as there’s an opportunity. With your cultivation, the old geezers of Mie Di are no match for you. Since Soul Extinction shows no respect to me, I can only return the favor with indifference; kill if you can," Ming Huang said coldly.

"Yes, Clan Leader!" Protector Qing acknowledged respectfully.

"Since the Holy Soul Temple has agreed to the alliance, to be safe, head over there. Mu Xuanshan will certainly agree," Ming Huang continued.

"Yes!" Protector Qing acknowledged respectfully. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Yang’er, enter seclusion immediately during this time. These triple spaces were procured by me through the association, enough for you to elevate your cultivation," Ming Huang instructed.

"Yes, Father!" Ming Yang had regained his confidence.

...

At the Great Archon Temple.

"Sir, the Immortal Soul Array has been fully prepared," Xu Mie reported respectfully.

"Very well! Now we just need to wait for Master to cast the spell. No matter how powerful Dantong is, the Seven Divine Realms will always be mine!" Zhu Sha said with a cold smile.

"Buzz buzz!"

At this moment, the ancient array behind the Great Archon Temple palace started to quiver violently once again. Several terrifying auras spread across the entire palace, striking fear into the heart.

"Holy Realm powerhouses have descended!" Zhu Sha delightedly exclaimed, immediately flashing over, with Ruo Wushuang and others following closely behind.

Within the vast golden array of the rear mountain, three middle-aged men appeared out of thin air, having arrived from the Holy Realm.
