Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546

Du You and Skalid stood in a tense standoff, while the Void twisted incessantly due to their battle. From time to time, special vortices formed nearby, and even a sixth-tier expert being caught in one would not be able to escape.

The surrounding Dragon Clan army had long since stopped, encircling the nearby starry sky to watch. Those who ventured too close had already been reduced to mere fragments, with no trace of their physical forms left intact.

Yet, both sides stuck in the stalemate found themselves deeply conflicted. Although neither believed the standoff to be beneficial, neither dared to be the first to disengage.

For the first to retreat would undoubtedly face the opponent’s onslaught, resulting in severe injury at best. In the worst-case scenario, they might even be left permanently behind. Du You’s attacks—the sheer savagery of them—were something Skalid was well aware of. Meanwhile, Skalid’s mastery over spatial powers left Du You apprehensive and reluctant to confront him head-on.

However, the situation suddenly shifted, sparing them the need to continue their impasse. In the midst of the battle, the fighters abruptly sensed the world beginning to tremble. Not just the Void, but the entire world itself.

This tremor might have gone unnoticed by others, but to those who had reached the seventh tier, it was utterly distinct.

"What’s happening? Has something gone awry in this world?" Du You remarked in astonishment, halting his actions and withdrawing slightly.

The others mirrored his response, uniformly opting to retreat while remaining vigilant. Having long wished to disengage, none among them had any desire to further entangle themselves with their enemies. Yet the trembling grew ever stronger.

"The Laws of heaven and earth themselves are shaking. Damn it, what did they do?"

Even Skalid appeared shocked. This occurrence was clearly beyond the scope of Earth’s conventional methods.

"Let’s call a temporary truce for today. I’ll come for your life another time," Skalid bellowed at Du You.

"I should be saying that. The next time we meet, I’ll use your body as material," Du You retorted.

The two exchanged a brief glare before turning away to leave. Du You gathered his Summoned Beasts, his heart gripped with shock. He hadn’t anticipated the Three-headed Dragon of the Dragon Clan to be so formidable. This time, he’d been careless.

Previously, Du You believed that as long as seventh-tier mid-level experts did not appear, he could dominate this world. Yet reality delivered a harsh counterstrike, making him realize he was far from invincible.

Leading the two sisters with him, Du You quickly flew backward while simultaneously connecting with the personnel at the rear base.

At the Dragon Clan’s headquarters, several powerful dragons were already arranged in a specialized formation. The source of the world’s upheaval originated precisely from this location.

When Skalid discovered this, an astonished expression overtook his face. It turned out this was Dragon Island’s chosen course of action.

Dragon Island had decided to employ the unique Devouring Void Array to directly consume the world, transforming it into a subsidiary realm orbiting Dragon Island indefinitely. Once successful, this world would never be able to break free.

As long as Dragon Island’s world remained unscathed, it would be nearly impossible for other worlds to invade this one. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

This was a decisive, once-and-for-all method. If completed, Earth would face disaster. Yet what the Dragon Clan hadn’t forecasted was the fierce resistance from Earth, which matched their intensity blow for blow.

Du You received the news on his end as well. "Dragon Island really doesn’t hold back. They want to consume the entire world? If that happens, won’t all of us trapped in this world be unable to escape?"

"Exactly. If this world gets consumed by Dragon Island, it will become part of Dragon Island’s domain. The Dragon Clan will have unlimited access here, while our powers will be suppressed. Worse still, we wouldn’t even be able to leave. We’d simply fall prey to the dragons’ ruthless hunts. With events reaching this tipping point, our only choice now is to take desperate measures."

Du You’s brow twitched. Who could have anticipated the situation to turn this perilous?

Indeed, no major alliance operation ever proved safe. Even at the seventh tier, danger loomed. It was clear: without reaching the eighth tier, Du You would never truly be secure. Once more, his ambition for power surged.

"What are our countermeasures, then?" Lin Yucha broke her silence at this moment.

A voice from the other side promptly responded, "Luckily for us, one of our territories had already reached the seventh tier earlier and has flourished in multiple areas. Now, Earth’s Will occupies a significant portion of influence in this world."

After pausing for a moment, the individual hesitated slightly before saying, "This time, we plan to sacrifice that territory to directly alter the root foundations of this world. The details, however, are beyond my knowledge."

As just a liaison, even someone tasked with communicating with Du You had a strength of no more than the sixth tier.

To learn the truly clandestine details, Du You would have to return in person. But the distance between this place and the coalition’s headquarters was vast, making immediate return impossible for Du You.

Earlier, Du You sensed the world enveloped by a mysterious energy, its Laws trembling relentlessly. Under such circumstances, Du You couldn’t leave the world—it was far too dangerous.

If luck turned against him, he could very well be torn apart by the chaotic Laws. Even in a favorable scenario, a successful departure might not lead him to Earth but instead to an unknown destination. For now, remaining in this world and awaiting the final outcome was the safest choice. Not just for Du You, but even for the dragons.

Even the dragons hadn’t anticipated encountering resistance to their all-or-nothing plan here.

By now, the dragons realized that their opponent was no ordinary foe, but Earth—a planet renowned for its vast array of unpredictable strategies. Unbeknownst to the Dragon Clan, the Will of Earth had infiltrated part of the process, leaving them with no alternatives.

The upcoming battles would take place on the scale of worldly Will and Laws, realms beyond their ability to influence. Even their communications with the outside world had been severed, rendering connections impossible.

"If only we had an eighth-tier expert here—they’d surely be able to intervene. But we failed to anticipate the Dragon Clan would go to such extremes."

In the end, even the liaison sighed deeply. This kind of perilous situation was exceedingly rare, even for him. Yet clearly, this time, fate would dictate their path. Not even seventh-tier individuals could escape.

Du You ended the communication and turned to the two sisters, saying, "Let’s find a place to hide. This fight’s outcome no longer hinges on us. Once it’s over, we’ll leave directly."

When the clash concluded, the victor and loser would be decided, and it wouldn’t matter whether they chose to linger or depart.
