Everyone was still solely focusing on the Technocracy. Even if people like Wei Rong had received a bit of information about the Sixth Mainland being a part of the invasion, they could not fathom how powerful their enemy was, let alone the rest of the common people of the Outerverse.

When Lu Yin heard that the Greatwood Lavazone had fallen, he was not the least bit surprised. The Sixth Mainland’s Imprinters were all beings with power levels of over 500,000, and there were quite a few such powerhouses among their ranks. Even that fatty, Huang San, had been born into an Imprinter's family, as well as Yan Xiaojing. Lu Yin expected the Bloodburn Realm to have at least ten Imprinters among its families, and that was also excluding World Imprinters, Cosmic Imprinters, and the almighty Empyrean Imprinter.

As for whether or not the Outerverse would be able to withstand the Bloodburn Realm’s invasion this time, Lu Yin felt that their hopes were rather dim.

In the Neo-Vestige Sect, Gong Ling also received news that the Greatwood Lavazone had collapsed, and he was shocked. As soon as the Sixth Mainland made a move, they had instantly caused a Lavazone to collapse. Would the other regions even be able to hold out?

Soon after, he received a notification, and he immediately contacted the Arrow Mountain Elder. The Hall of Honor had sent out a compulsory conscription for the elder to reinforce the Greatwood Lavazone at the border.

Gong Ling could not refuse the draft notice, so he went to Arrow Mountain and asked to see the elder.

The Arrow Mountain Elder stepped out of his valley and looked up. “In the end, the war still broke out.”

“Elder knew that a war would start?” Gong Ling was shocked.

The Arrow Mountain Elder shook his head. “Our sect has passed down a warning from one generation to the next that a day of calamity would eventually arrive. This warning should have been referring to the Sixth Mainland’s invasion.”

He then looked at Gong Ling. “Protect the Neo-Vestige Sect well. If the battle goes in their favor, think of a way to leave an inheritance and then flee into the Astral Wilderness.”

Gong Ling replied in a low voice, “Junior is also willing to join the border’s defense.”

Arrow Mountain Elder smiled slightly. “If you are also drafted to join the defenses, then that will indicate that we are in truly desperate straits. Find a way to leave an inheritance.”

After leaving those words of advice, the elder stepped out and left Neo-Vestige Sect.

In Millions City, Qiong Shanhai stared at his gadget in horror. The Hall of Honor had sent a mandatory draft notice: Millions City was to move out and join the border defense. They were given no room to negotiate. A mobile fortress such as Millions City was needed at this time.

Qiong Shanhai had never expected a single invasion to terrify the Hall of Honor so badly. Still, he did not dare refuse the summons, and so, he could only guide his Millions City towards Endless Weave.

At Endless Weave’s border, the Sixth Mainland had formally allied with the Technocracy to invade the Human Domain.

The six Lavazones, including the long, narrow mainlands formed from dark lava that sat in the middle of each region, all suffered simultaneous attacks. This battle was more intense than anyone could have imagined. The cultivators who were a part of the defensive perimeter had long since made preparations to fend off the Technocracy. After all, they had fought against this enemy for countless years and had developed some degree of understanding of them. However, the Sixth Mainland’s joining the invasion had pushed the Outerverse’s defensive line to the brink of collapse. Even though no super powerhouses had moved against the Human Domain, the defensive line was still tottering.

The cultivators from the Sixth Mainland naturally suppressed the Fifth Mainland’s cultivators, and this suppression was especially evident when powerhouses within the same realm fought against each other in solo combat. The Fifth Mainland’s powerhouses were not even close to being a match for the Sixth Mainland’s cultivators within the same realm. Moreover, the Sixth Mainland cultivators could also boost their power with their imprints and bloodlines.

The various great powers in Endless Weave incessantly sent cultivators to support the border’s defenses, and only a select few sects were able to leave a handful of people behind to guard their land while the rest of their members were sent to the warfront. Even then, it was still difficult for Endless Weave’s forces to hold the line.

The Sixth Mainland’s offense was simply too fierce.

In the Dark Phoenix Lavazone, the defenders were primarily from the Dark Phoenix family, or from powers who were allied with them.

Of the six Lavazones, the Dark Phoenix Lavazone’s defense had traditionally been the sturdiest, and its line had never been breached. Whenever the black flames swept across the land, the Technocracy would frequently suffer heavy casualties.

However, against the forces of the Sixth Mainland, even the powerful Dark Phoenix family ended up being suppressed with their members being slaughtered. They managed to achieve almost no victories when fighting against opponents within the same realm.

Bonny Phoenix was panting heavily as he stared at the man in front of him. The man had a frivolous expression on his face, and he gestured at Bonny Phoenix with a finger. “Again.”

Bonny Phoenix growled. Despite everything, he was an elite member of the Dark Phoenix family as well as a genius from Astral-9; he could not lose.

A black Undying Bird soared towards the man.

The imprint of an elder suddenly appeared behind the man as strange lines shot up his body. His fingers then transformed into stony claws that pierced through the black Undying Bird before continuing on towards Bonny Phoenix.

Bonny Phoenix immediately fell back, but his chest was still shredded by the gale, and fresh blood dripped onto the ground.

The man howled with laughter. “You Fifth Mainland trash, you don’t even have any imprints! What makes you think that you can fight against us?” The man then rushed at Bonny Phoenix.

Bonny Phoenix fell into despair. They were both Limiteers, so the difference between them should not be this overwhelming. He stared at the fuzzy phantom image behind the man. The moment that imprint had appeared, this person had been able to practically crush Bonny. Why? What was that strength? Why did his side not have it?

Just as the man was about to strike Bonny Phoenix, space trembled as an immense pressure fell upon the area.

The man suddenly stopped attacking and turned to look at the sky with an excited expression. “It’s Lord Mojiang Shan! You guys are dead.”

Bonny Phoenix similarly looked up, and he saw countless spear shadows descending upon the land. Each spear skillfully avoided all the Sixth Mainland cultivators, though they pierced through quite a few Dark Phoenix family members as they fiercely shot towards the ground.

Just like what had happened to the Greatwood Lavazone, the Dark Phoenix Lavazone was suddenly on the brink of collapse.

Suddenly, the atmosphere fluctuated, and as countless eyes stared on in disbelief, the air transformed into a black inferno that covered the entire Dark Phoenix Lavazone. No matter if one looked at the Sixth Mainland cultivators, the Technocracy’s androids, or Fifth Mainland cultivators, every individual on the battlefield was shrouded by these black flames.

The difference was that the flames caused no harm to the Fifth Mainland’s cultivators while many of the Sixth Mainland cultivators and the androids were reduced to ashes.

The man who had nearly killed Bonny Phoenix also died in agony due to the flames.

In outer space, above the defenses, Mojiang Shan’s expression suddenly changed. The boundless black flames had gathered into a black Undying Bird that was now charging towards him.

A phantom image of Ancestor Mojiang appeared as Mojiang Shan’s imprint, and the man stabbed his long spear forward. “Just another Fifth Mainland native looking to die.”

The black Undying Bird had nine burning plumes trailing behind it, and it metamorphosed at this moment. It suddenly transformed into a fiery black phoenix that scorched the entire region.

Mojiang Shan’s body was also set on fire, and a massive river of blood started evaporating. He was being exhausted by the confrontation, and even his spear had started melting. This was no ordinary spear, as it was actually a power vessel. However, it was already completely ruined.

“Native, just wait for me!” Mojiang Shan hollered before vanishing into space.

The Dark Phoenix Lavazone was suddenly filled with high spirits, and countless members of the Dark Phoenix family shouted out in excitement. Everyone knew how powerful the Dark Phoenix family was, as it was one of the three great powers of the Outerverse that could not be provoked. However, nobody knew what the family relied on to maintain its status.

However, at this moment, they had seen it for themselves. The black phoenix that had burned the void belonged to the Dark Phoenix family’s elder: Yen Phoenix. He was the Dark Phoenix family’s ancestor who had single handedly clawed his way out of the Innerverse. At this crucial moment, he had finally appeared.

Bonny Phoenix heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against a wall of dark lava as he looked up at the sky. He had nearly died just now.

Why were those Sixth Mainland cultivators so powerful? As the defenders, they had been easily suppressed one-sidedly. Bonny Phoenix was a student of Astral-9, and he also had the innate gift of the Dark Phoenix family: the black Undying Bird. Despite all of his remarkable abilities, he had still been beaten by someone within the same realm. Thus, the other defending cultivators must be suffering even more.

This battle had left his heart in a clouded haze.

The Dark Phoenix Lavazone had dealt with an attack from an Imprinter. However, at the same time, the Lavazone furthest away from the Dark Phoenix region was also facing an Imprinter’s attack. The Ironblood Lavazone was being attacked by the Yan family’s elder: Yan Cheng.

The Yan family was another Imprinter family, and all of the family’s honor belonged to their elder. Yan Cheng was precisely the reason behind the Yan family’s current status.

However, Yan Cheng was not satisfied with his family’s position, and he wanted to establish a marital relationship with the Autumnfrost family. This was part of the reason why his family was participating in the invasion, as he wanted to use it to further raise his Yan family’s reputation. In the Sixth Mainland, Imprinter families were always in an awkward position, as it was neither high nor low. They could not rule over a region and all beings within it, but they also held a status where they could move about unrestricted. Yan Cheng was not satisfied with his family’s current situation, and he intended to bring them onto a broader stage. For him, this war was the most suitable way to accomplish that.

When Yan Cheng appeared, the entire Ironblood Lavazone was suppressed by the sheer terror of an Imprinter. Countless cultivators instantly fell to the ground, paralyzed as a domain descended. Yan Cheng had actually comprehended a domain, and his domain was by no means weak.

Everyone from the Sixth Mainland obeyed their ancestors’ teachings, so not many people focused on cultivating a domain or battle force. Yan Cheng was the same, but he was an Imprinter with a power level of over 500,000. Even if his domain was completely average, when wielded with his absolute strength, its power became unimaginable to ordinary cultivators.

Commander Zhang Ironblood Lavazone lifted himself up off of the ground and into a crouching position with great difficulty as he looked up at the sky, hopeless.

Yan Cheng waved a hand, prompting countless androids and Sixth Mainland cultivators to charge towards the landmass and unleash a massacre. The Ironblood Lavazone’s defenders were simply unable to resist.

Liu Yin watched on helplessly as a blade sliced towards him, unable to resist in any way.

Despite being the former student leader of Astral-9, he was no different from a commoner on this battlefield.

Suddenly, a green branch burst out of the dark lava that formed the ground, extending upwards endlessly. The branches gradually formed a huge, towering tree that covered the entire Ironblood Lavazone.

Yan Cheng’s domain suddenly popped like a bubble.

Liu Yin suddenly felt as though he had received a new burst of strength. Although his opponent’s blade was already only half an inch away from him, he grabbed onto the hilt of his opponent’s weapon with his renewed vigor. The strength of his grip prevented the Sixth Mainland cultivator from continuing their attack, and Liu Yin opened his mouth to release a tremendous sound. The soundwave carried with it the ancient bloodline of the Fantasy Crow, and it caused everyone within a hundred meter radius of him to fall into a land of fantasy.

Liu Yin spun his blade around and slashed out with it, beheading the Sixth Mainland cultivator, whose body fell heavily to the ground as fresh blood flowed onto the black lava floor.

In outer space, Yan Cheng looked at the towering tree in shock. What was that? His intuition was telling him that this tree was not simple.

Yuehua Mavis suddenly appeared at the top of the tree, and she calmly looked at Yan Cheng. “You are an Imprinter from the Sixth Mainland?”

Yan Cheng’s expression grew frosty. “Little girl, who are you?”

“Yuehua Mavis.”

Yan Cheng frowned. A Mavis? He had heard of this clan from somewhere, though he could not recall exactly where at this moment.

“Little girl, I have the authority to invite you to join my Sixth Mainland and become an elder under my Yan family, thereby sparing your life. How about it?” Yan Cheng offered.

Yuehua Mavis’s eyes flashed with an emerald green glow as she exchanged glances with Yan Cheng. “Let’s see if you have the strength to conquer me.”

Yan Cheng was amused, as he was an Imprinter while the woman in front of him had a power level of around 300,000 at best. Despite their power differences, she still dared to challenge him. Suddenly, Yan Cheng’s expression became dazed as his mind went fuzzy. He felt like he could no longer control his body, and a green radiance had appeared before him.

He felt alarm bells go off in his mind, and he immediately averted his gaze. “You want to control me? Go die!”

Yan Cheng’s domain suddenly condensed into a giant palm that he swatted down with. “Triple Palm.”

Yuehua Mavis felt that it was a pity; her opponent was too powerful to be manipulated by her.

As she watched the Triple Palm descend, she knew that she would not be able to block such an attack with her strength, but fortunately, she had her great tree.

The towering tree quivered, and at the top, a fruit slowly emerged.
