Heaven Domain (Iwan Cliff) novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386 The Battle Outside the Great Wall

Ten minutes ago, the soldiers of the Heaven Domain hadn't yet arrived. The warriors from the Tough Armor and the Black Stone had just fought their way into the domain of the Hyena. They were fighting with the Way Masters inside the Hyena Military Headquarters.

The endless smoke rose from the land. All the top forces shifted their attention to this place, but no one knew that a boundless place existed below the land. There were a bunch of people, different from the powerhouses in this world, quietly watching the battlefield.

The place was the Real Emperor Way Realm that was about to open.

The Real Emperor Way Realm had been sealed for a thousand years or longer. No one knew where it was located. There were only entrances. In a sense, it was the entrance to a sealed era and a fragment of the long history.

A few days ago, five Human Kings from the headquarters of the guardian of the rules and the Four-Pole Corners had a discussion and decided to open the first Real Emperor Way Realm. Its location was near the Military Headquarters Cemetery, not far from the Hyena Military Headquarters.

On the battlefield, the powerhouses kept falling. Wars had been plaguing this area for hundreds of years, which weakened the barrier that was sealing the Real Emperor Way Realm below.

No one, not even the five Human Kings from the guardians of the rules and the Four-pole Corners, knew that the battles on the ground had woken up some of the top powerhouses in the Realm.

When the people from the Tough Armor and the Black Stone fought their way into the Hyena Military Headquarters and when those Emperor-level, King-level, and Way Master-level powerhouses were fighting with each other, some of the supreme existences in the Real Emperor Way Realm were awakened.

No one knew that another world appeared below the thick barrier at the periphery of the Hyena Military Headquarters. It was the southern region of the Real Emperor Way Realm.

There wasn't anything substantial, even though there were mountains, trees, and water. Everything in this world was condensed with the Taoist spirits.

In this world where the air was constantly flowing, several intangible yet powerful existences quietly watched the battle.

After a while, an old, dark voice rang out. "Heh heh, this is good. More deaths will further weaken the barrier. Then we'll be able to get out, won't we?"

Another mysterious existence chimed in. "Heh heh... the guardians of the rules are going to open this realm. They have to because the Great Age is coming. I have a feeling that two top Imperial Dynasties will rise in this era, but I don't know which one will survive, or if they will both fall."

"It's not easy to have anything beyond the Imperial Dynasty in this world. Those people won't allow it. Didn't our Imperial Dynasty fall too?"

"Alas, I don't know how many years have passed. It should be a long time. I can sense that all the Imperial Dynasties at our age are already gone."

"Why bother thinking about that? Do you think we're still alive? We're nothing but wisps of spirits. In fact, we have long been dead. Do you think those powerhouses will let us go when this realm opens? For them, we're the best supplements."

"Yeah, it's for the best that those people outside all died. Look, two Way Masters blew themselves up so soon. That Way Master from the Tough Armor is tough. At our age, when our Imperial Dynasty existed, it was not easy to reach the Way Master level, right?"

"Heh, don't be ridiculous. There were so many Imperial Dynasties at our age, and we took the Real Emperor or the True King ways. Have you seen any genius give up the Real Emperor way for the ordinary path?"

"You're joking. Even in our age, do you think anyone could randomly get on the Real Emperor way? The ordinary Way-Master path is the earliest way. In the age of Imperial Dynasties, those Real Emperors and True Kings were seen as geniuses, okay?"

...

In the southern region of the void world, the powerful spirits were discussing with each other. If those people outside heard this, they might not dare to open this Real Emperor Way Realm.

After all, no one knew that the spirits of powerhouses from Imperial Dynasties, who had once battled on this land, were awakened.

Given the energy fluctuations when they were communicating, they should be at the peak of the Way Master level, even though they couldn't maintain their Human King strength. Every one of them was as strong as Jackson.

In the southern void, the residual spirits of top powerhouses continued to watch the battle. They didn't care what was happening outside. It was for the best if those people all died.

"Look, more people are coming. Gosh! They're tough. There are one or two True Kings and four Realm Emperors. How is this possible? Have the two Royal Dynasties in this age advanced to Imperial Dynasties? Impossible!"

"No, it can't be! I can sense that the oriental one has just advanced to the Royal Dynasty. See the two True Kings and four Real Emperors? They have oriental faces. Well..."

"The four Real Emperors are ordinary, but the two True Kings are not. Their ways are superior even in our age."

"True. The appearance of two True Kings means that the opening this time will be unusual, or those old guardians of the rules can't hold up anymore."

Those spirits were shocked when Iwan, Black Emperor, and others appeared before their eyes. It was understandable since both Iwan and Black Emperor were young. Even in the ancient Imperial Dynasties, they were counted as top geniuses.

That explained their shock.

Far away from the southern void, there was a large area of nothingness in the center of the realm. The remains of a boundless battlefield existed in the void. In the center of it sat a mountain of broken swords, and an enormous throne was on top of it.

On the throne sat a man in worn armor who stood two meters tall. His eyelids twitched before he opened his eyes and looked at the southern void in the distance.

The big man on the throne muttered to himself, "Another battle is on. It seems that a few top powerhouses have died."

He didn't bother to pay attention to it. This Real Emperor Way Realm was about to open, and he didn't know how many years had passed. His perception told him that it had been a long time. He had been dead for too long.

He closed his eyes but snapped them open in the next second.

"The energy of my brother! But that place is far from the Imperial Dynasty. How come my brother's energy appears here? Wait, the Heaven Domain is also here. They're all here?"

When Iwan arrived at the Hyena Military Headquarters, the man on the throne suddenly felt something. He got up and took one step forward. The countless broken swords then formed a huge dragon.

As soon as the man stepped out, the sword dragon caught him and carried him to the southern void. Standing on the head of the sword dragon, the man was emitting raging energy. When he went past, those spirits hurriedly hid.

His advance was insanely fast. The sword dragon below him was ferocious. A few breaths away, the man appeared in the southern part of the Real Emperor Way Realm.

Those spirits, who had just discussed the situation outside, freaked out.

"King Slay! What are you doing here? This is our territory! You shouldn't have come!" One of the spirits, who had the energy fluctuation of a Way Master at the peak of the Life Realm, growled at the man.

"Fuck off!" The man named King Slay snorted and slashed in the direction of the voice with his sword. The spirit screamed in pain and shut his mouth.

He looked around and snorted again. "A bunch of losers. When your Imperial Dynasty existed, could you resist Emperor Victory's army? Do you want me to destroy your spirits too? One more noise, and I'll grant your wish."

King Slay was domineering, but none of those spirits dared utter a sound.

He then looked at the outside world. When Iwan and Black Emperor were seen in the sky above the Hyena Military Headquarters, he frowned and muttered to himself, "No, that's not my brother. And why does that woman have my brother's inheritance? How many years have passed since then? Did the Victory Dynasty fall? My brother and His Majesty are so strong. Did they fail too?"

"Are you stupid, eh? Stopping the enemy by blowing yourselves up? Is this the way the guards do things? You're not worthy of being called the Imperial Guards of the Heaven Domain."

Boom! A deafening explosion came from the outside world. Warrior No. 1 set off the national fortune of the Hyena, whose energy had accumulated for hundreds of years. With that, the sword dragon underneath King Slay also exploded.

Those spirits quickly dodged and dissipated into thin air. King Slay snorted and left.

He was naturally going after those residual spirits from Imperial Dynasties. Originally, he hadn't planned to intervene, but Haig's inheritance had appeared. He still had a lot of questions in his mind.

Before leaving, he looked at Iwan, who had fled to a distant place, and snorted, "Kid, you'd better survive this and come in to see me."

...

When the battle at the Hyena came to an end, something was happening in the distant mid-western region within the domain of the Summo. In the ruins of the Victory Dynasty next to the State Academy, a Human King spent a day unlocking an archival chamber that had been sealed for ages.

Darcy set up barriers outside the secret chamber and went in. Her eyes glittered when she saw, in the depths of the imperial palace, a jade scroll with engraved characters.

The last time she came to the State Academy, she wanted to find some books. However, few books had been passed down from ancient times. A lot of them were missing. Then she tried her luck in the ruins of the Victory Dynasty. After one day and one night of searching, she finally found this chamber.

This place had been sealed for two thousand years. No one from the State Academy had ever found it or opened the chamber.

Half an hour later, she found a scroll that was made of jade. The title was Heaven Domain: the External Regions Volume.

Her mouth was agape when she saw the jade book.

In her memory, the Victory Dynasty and the Heaven Domain under the command of Haig hadn't fought beyond the Ancient Great Wall.

In great shock, Darcy slowly opened the scroll that had been sealed for more than two thousand years.

The names of the four generals of the Heaven Domain came into view.

In the winter of the 22nd year of the Victory Dynasty, the foreign army was vanquished. King Slay, one of the four generals of the Heaven Domain, chased them deep into the External Regions.

...

What was recorded in the ancient scroll completely shocked Darcy, because almost no one in the current Summo Military Headquarters knew that the first Imperial Dynasty on this land had battled outside the Great Wall two thousand years ago.

She used to regard it as a story that was made up by later generations to brag about how powerful their first Imperial Dynasty was.

Now what was on this ancient scroll had both convinced and shocked her.

In the Heaven Domain: the External Regions Volume, those epic battles seemed to unfold before her eyes.

And the location seemed to be near the first Real Emperor Way Realm that would open in three days.
