High-Level Martial Era

…The exchange of Divine Sense between powerful beings was exceedingly rapid. As the Sword Demon Heavenly God was narrating some “Divine Realm secrets” to Li Yuan, the two had already entered the interior of the Starry Sky Ancient City.

This was an expansive void, with an enormous and uniquely shaped building occupying it.

It resembled two gigantic overlapping rings, with a diameter estimated to exceed ten thousand kilometers.

“Halt.” Several black-robed True Gods guarded this place, and, through the formation, they easily noticed the presence of the Sword Demon Heavenly God and Li Yuan.

“Destination for teleportation.”

“Chaos Divine Court, ’Guifang Star Domain’.” The Sword Demon Heavenly God’s voice was cold, resounding through the void. With a wave of his hand, he tossed a Storage Magical Treasure, which flew directly into the massive void black hole in the distance.

“A Heavenly Divine!”

“A Heavenly Divine? A Heavenly Divine from the Chaos Divine Court?” The several True Gods seemed to receive some kind of confirmation, and their expressions subtly changed.

In this ordinary Star Domain, those capable of independently using the Starry Sky Teleportation Array were exceedingly rare.

“Please, seniors, enter the Transmission Array and wait for a moment,” one of the True Gods hurriedly said.

Soon.

Li Yuan and the Sword Demon Heavenly God stood within the immense Transmission Array. Immediately, the surrounding void rippled with intense spatial fluctuations.

“Roar!”

The two enormous metal rings burst forth with endless dazzling light, completely enveloping Li Yuan and the Sword Demon Heavenly God.

“Is this Starry Sky Transmission?” The thought had just emerged in Li Yuan’s mind before he disappeared into the infinite radiance.

…

Approximately nine hours later.

Guifang Star Domain, a Star Domain completely under the control of the Chaos Divine Court.

Swoosh!

“Two Starry Sky Ancient Cities?” Li Yuan stared into the void in astonishment.

He and the Sword Demon Heavenly God had just flown out from the other end of the ’Yunxiao Ancient City’ and were shocked to discover that, millions of kilometers away, another city with a diameter nearing one million kilometers stood firm.

At first glance, it bore some resemblance to the Starry Sky Ancient City.

“That city is not a Starry Sky Ancient City but a ’Chaos Ancient City.’ This particular city is called ’Guifang Ancient City,’” the Sword Demon Heavenly God murmured.

“Chaos Ancient City? Guifang Star Domain?” Li Yuan seemed lost in thought.

“The Chaos Ancient City is an ancient structure crafted by our Chaos Divine Court. Its functionality mirrors that of the Starry Sky Ancient City, mainly facilitating ’Starry Sky Transmission,’” the Sword Demon Heavenly God explained. “However, Chaos Ancient Cities only exist in the territories directly governed by the Divine Court.”

“Every directly governed Star Domain has a Chaos Ancient City.”

“In places like the Mohe Star Domain, where the Divine Court only occupies a portion of the territory, there is no Chaos Ancient City.”

Li Yuan noted the distinction.

The Starry Sky Ancient City can be established in any Star Domain, but the Chaos Divine Court is unable to achieve that.

“So, in the Divine Court’s directly governed Star Domains, the Court’s strong figures all utilize Chaos Ancient Cities for Starry Sky Transmission?” Li Yuan curiously asked.

“Yes.”

“Collecting so much travel expense—naturally, it can’t be handed over to the Starry Sky Ancient City,” the Sword Demon Heavenly God laughed. “Only when heading outside of directly governed territories would one need to use the Starry Sky Ancient City…”

“The close proximity of the two cities actually serves as a form of surveillance, preventing the Starry Sky Divine Court from making subtle moves,” remarked the Sword Demon Heavenly God.

“Let’s go.”

“Little Martial Uncle, the Ziwei Star Region is the core of our Chaos Divine Court. It doesn’t have ’Starry Sky Ancient Cities,’ so to reach there quickly, we must transfer through a Chaos Ancient City.” The Sword Demon Heavenly God spoke with a smile.

…

Through conversations with the Sword Demon Heavenly God and the sights along the way,

Li Yuan finally acquired a relatively clear understanding of the Divine Realm’s operations, as well as the various Divine Court forces.

Simultaneously locked in rivalry and collaboration.

After passing through the Transmission Array of the ’Guifang Chaos Ancient City,’ two hours later, they reached the ’Ziwei Star Region.’

The Ziwei Star Region was where the Chaos Divine Court Headquarters was located, the largest Star Domain, boasting more than one hundred thousand Star Systems…

As a result, countless strong figures from various Star Domains gather here to teleport to the Ziwei Star Region.

The Ziwei Ancient City is the hub for the Starry Sky Transmission Arrays within the Ziwei Star Region.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Numerous silhouettes flew out of the Ziwei Ancient City, including Li Yuan and the Sword Demon Heavenly God.

Despite the crowd, apart from the Sword Demon Heavenly God, there were no other Heavenly Divines.

“Little Martial Uncle, look below.” The Sword Demon Heavenly God pointed to the void beneath them. “This is the headquarters of our Chaos Divine Court.”

“This?” Li Yuan lowered his gaze.

Below him lay an incomprehensibly vast continent within the void. Its immense scale… From Li Yuan’s vantage point and with his enhanced vision, he couldn’t discern its borders.

“Countless ages ago, as our Chaos Divine Court was first established, the Chaos God Emperor used supreme Divine Skills to condense the world’s divine essence and forged this massive continent, which serves as the core of the Chaos Divine Court. Thus, it was named ’Chaos Continent,’” the Sword Demon Heavenly God murmured. “Over endless eras, countless mighty beings and treasures within the Court’s territories have gathered on the Chaos Continent, making it the most flourishing location within the Divine Realm…”

“Families of numerous generations of Divine Kings, Heavenly Divines, and others all propagate their lineage here. This is the safest place within the Divine Court.”

“The Divine Court directly governs 813 Star Domains, and has established branches in an additional 2234 Star Domains… All orders for governance are issued from the Chaos Continent.”

“The Chaos Continent is the core—the brain of the Divine Court,” the Sword Demon Heavenly God solemnly declared.

Li Yuan listened, awestruck.

The continent before him was evidently vaster and more magnificent than the Jue Xing Continent.

The number of strong figures present was clearly of an entirely different magnitude as well.

“However, we’re not headed for the Chaos Continent.” The Sword Demon Heavenly God pointed toward the depths of the void. “Little Martial Uncle, look upward.”

Li Yuan lifted his gaze.

Above, at an immeasurable altitude—whether millions or billions of miles away—three colossal palace complexes floated in the void.

Countless palaces shimmered faintly, grouping closely together.
