The news that Da Yi had launched simultaneous offensives against six major realms could not be hidden from the eyes of Hydra. They had been secretly observing the situation for some time. Once they received confirmation, they immediately returned to the Eternal Night World and issued a bounty in the Myriad-Evil Hall. The reward was astronomical and immensely enticing—so much so that countless powerful beings were swayed by it.
The Abyssal Dark God was one of those attracted by this bounty posted by Hydra.
His strength was not weak.
Not only had he reached the Dao Platform realm, but he also wielded the Abyssal Demon Gourd—a damaged innate supreme treasure, yet still a top-tier dark artifact. Although he had heard of Yi Tianxing's reputation, he was confident that his own strength was enough to suppress him.
The black-robed figures had been lurking nearby, silently watching the tide of the battle unfold.
They saw the six great realms amass massive armies to attack Da Yi. They even used their national artifacts to forcibly break the defense of the Iron-Blood Great Wall. This allowed teleportation gates to directly access the interior of Da Yi—a stark contrast from the past, when the wall blocked all teleportation.
Now that the dynasty-level war had erupted and the Iron-Blood Great Wall was breached, chaos had spread within Da Yi.
Such timing was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they missed it, Hydra would probably want to bash its own head in with a brick. Most importantly, the person they feared most—Da Yi's Sacred King, Yi Tianxing—had been pulled into the Abyssal Demon Gourd. If he wasn't already dead, he would be reduced to dust at any moment.
Without Yi Tianxing, Da Yi was—at least in Hydra's eyes—nothing more than a delicious feast laid out in front of them.
Destroying Da Yi would make them heroes of Eternal Night. Once they returned, the rewards would be unimaginable. They could even be blessed by the Will of Eternal Night and attract the attention of the Abyssal Demon Mother. The benefits would be beyond comprehension.
The temptation was unparalleled—no one could resist it.
This moment on the battlefield belonged to Hydra.
They had waited far too long for it.
BOOM!
A massive dark gate loomed in the void. Just a wisp of aura emanating from it made it hard for countless people to breathe. The sensation was terrifying.
"That aura—it's from the dark races of Eternal Night!"
"Damn it, Eternal Night! This is their conspiracy—they want to topple our Da Yi Sacred Court!"
"Damn them! Eternal Night ambushed the Sacred King! Kill them! Kill them all! Rescue the Sacred King!"
In an instant, countless people sensed the difference in the air. Their fury exploded uncontrollably.
Yi Tianxing was more than just a ruler in Da Yi—he was faith, the spiritual pillar of the people and the military alike. His fall completely enraged them. Blood-red rage filled every soldier's eyes.
Their wrath could not be contained.
"Yi Tianxing is already dead! Next, it's your turn to die. Descend upon this land—my Eternal Night army!"
The black-robed figure appeared in front of the Demon Abyss, throwing his head back in arrogant, triumphant laughter.
BOOM!!
The Demon Abyss opened.
ROAR!!
Countless terrifying roars echoed out instantly, engulfing the world in their sound. It felt as if the gate led directly to a horrifying hellish abyss, filled with boundless madness and chaos.
At that moment, the Eternal Night army descended.
Massive silhouettes surged out of the Demon Abyss like a tide, flooding the battlefield in all directions.
Bugs.
Insects everywhere.
Densely packed, a black sea of crawling horror. They flew in the skies, they scuttled on the ground—each one was savage and grotesque, their entire bodies capable of instantly transforming into lethal weapons with terrifying destructive force.
"Eternal Night Zerg!!"
On the Iron-Blood Great Wall, countless soldiers gasped as their pupils contracted. They had seen these Eternal Night Zerg before on the battlefield. They had firsthand experience of their devastating power.
The Zerg were the vanguard and cannon fodder of the Eternal Night World—but also one of the most destructively terrifying races.
Even now, the sight of them was utterly shocking.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Not just one Abyss—other Demon Abyss appeared across different parts of the battlefield.
From one of them surged gigantic eight-armed demonic spiders. Each of them was massive, with their bodies covered in terrifying bristly hairs. Their spear-like legs were savage weapons. Each stood seven or eight zhang tall, and their cold eyes emitted a soul-freezing chill.
Their bristles had strong parasitic and controlling abilities. If the hairs entered a body, they would multiply rapidly—destroying the flesh, even controlling the soul, turning victims into spider slaves.
They were among the most terrifying opponents on the battlefield.
From another gate rushed waves of cavalry—riding not ordinary horses but skeletal warhorses, creatures of Eternal Night called Nightmares. Jet black from head to hoof, their eyes burned with dark soul-fire, exhaling black flames.
Atop these steeds were skeletal knights holding lances and giant swords. Clad in black bone armor, each was at least one zhang tall, exuding an oppressive aura. These were the Nightshade Cavalry.
Other gates unleashed waves of soldiers engulfed in flames—savage, frightening warriors from another conquest legion of Eternal Night: the Burning Legion. Their flames could ignite anything, annihilating all life in their path. Wherever they went, only scorched earth remained. They feared neither death nor strong foes, thriving on slaughter and destruction.
And yet another gate released terrifying Abyssal Beasts of Destruction—the legendary Eight-Headed Serpents, i.e., the Nine-Headed Hydra. Each one was a colossal monster exuding an aura of destruction. Their very existence was pure annihilation. They were created solely to destroy.
"Kill them all, boys!"Green Robe laughed eerily as he gave the order.
Vast.
Endless.
The army pouring out of the gates was simply immeasurable. Within moments, they covered the battlefield and approached the Iron-Blood Great Wall.
"Damn it! It's the Eternal Night dark races! Stop attacking Da Yi—kill the Eternal Night!"
"Bastards! These dark races planned this all along! While we're fighting Da Yi, they want to wipe us all out! Stop the assault on Da Yi—kill the Eternal Night! We can't be their accomplices!"
"Kill them! We must never let Eternal Night run rampant in the Eternal World!"
The six major realms' armies—who had been attacking the Iron-Blood Great Wall—were shocked at the sudden change. Seeing the Eternal Night forces pour out of the gates, they immediately turned against their common enemy.
To them, Eternal Night was the true threat to the Eternal World—the enemy of all races across the heavens.
Internal wars within the Eternal World were one thing, but against Eternal Night, all grudges were secondary. Deal with the external threat first—there would be time for settling internal debts later.
Otherwise, they would be forever cursed by future generations.
"Four-Directional Celestial Gold Cauldron—Withdraw!!"In the void, the Golden Steel Emperor's face was ice cold. Though he was battling Yi Xianling, once he saw the Eternal Night army, he had no choice. The Four-Directional Celestial Gold Cauldron—the national artifact clashing with the Iron-Blood Great Wall—was withdrawn immediately.
Before great justice, one must comply.
"World-Destroying Heavenly Fire Cloud—bring destruction to Eternal Night!!"The Skyfire Emperor also withdrew his artifact, unleashing a horrifying firestorm onto the battlefield.
A rain of fire fell from the World-Destroying Heavenly Fire Cloud, igniting wave after wave of dark creatures, burning them to ash in terrifying scenes of destruction.
"You want to resist now? It's too late. The Iron-Blood Great Wall's barrier can't be restored that easily. You couldn't break it before—but now, we have the means."
The black-robed figure sneered, mocking their sudden alliance.
It was too late to retreat.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, from his hand shot out black nails—eighty-one in total. Each bore ancient markings of dark gods. As they flew, they rapidly grew larger and embedded themselves into the wall with terrifying force.
These nails looked illusory, without solid form, yet they easily pierced the Iron-Blood Great Wall's toughest defenses.
Once embedded, eerie black mists began seeping out from the wall.
The protective barrier that was beginning to recover after the Celestial Gold Cauldron was withdrawn suddenly stopped regenerating.
These were the Bone-Eroding Realm-Breaking Nails—a magic treasure from the Eternal Night World. They were devastating against any kind of barrier or protective wall. They could stop regeneration, block defense mechanisms, and seal guardian forces.
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't work against the Iron-Blood Great Wall—but now, at its weakest moment, the wall was pierced and couldn't recover unless the nails were pulled out.
The six major realms were now useless.
All of this happened in just a few breaths of time—everything changed in an instant.
The situation had flipped completely, leaving many stunned and unable to react.
It felt like a dream—too fast, too sudden.
"Today, we shall personally destroy Da Yi. Come forth—Heavenly Demon God Weapons!!"
The black-robed figure roared once more.
BOOM!!
From the Demon Abyss emerged towering figures—the terrifying Heavenly Demon God Weapons.
