The invasion began.
Some of the Middle Rank Gods entered the Jade Realm’s Ancient Divine Kingdom.
Soon after, Zorn sensed a strange fluctuation from the Jade Magic Ring Tree.
Evidently, the Jade Realm had already discovered the Calamity Court Realm’s invasion.
At that moment, the various Middle Rank Gods who had entered the Ancient Divine Kingdom via the Ancient Passage all knew that the Jade Realm’s experts would soon be on their way.
Therefore,
upon entering the Ancient Divine Kingdom, they each employed their own techniques to flee deep into its territory.
The deeper they fled, the better they could hide.
Naturally, this meant they could survive longer.
And the longer they survived, the more destruction they could cause.
Once all the Middle Rank Gods had entered the Ancient Divine Kingdom...
RUMBLE...
A section of the sky over the Ancient Divine Kingdom began to shake.
A passage woven from fresh flowers and jade-green leaves opened.
Powerful auras belonging to Middle Rank Gods surged forth one after another.
The Middle Rank Gods of the Jade Realm had arrived.
Seeing this, the Middle Rank Gods from the Calamity Court Realm quickened their pace, fleeing even deeper into the territory.
Zorn wasted no time either. He used the Cosmic Magic Net to open a long-distance passage, rapidly traveling deep into the Ancient Divine Kingdom.
As Zorn sped through the Cosmic Magic Net,
a Jade Blade suddenly descended.
The Ancient God Secret Technique, imbued with the Power of the Jade Magic Ring, grazed Zorn’s trajectory, letting out a sharp hiss.
"Hm?"
Zorn’s brow furrowed slightly.
As the blade from the Ancient God Secret Technique drew ever closer,
he had no choice but to leap out of the Cosmic Magic Net.
But the Jade Blade followed him like a shadow.
As Zorn retreated hastily, the Divine Artifact Sikes’ Magic Wand flared to life.
The Calamity Black Mist flashed.
A giant, black Ancient God’s Hand swatted at the Jade Blade.
BOOM!
The Ancient God’s Hand and the Jade Blade collided, unleashing a terrifying storm of Divine Power.
Using the storm of Divine Power as cover, Zorn ducked back into the Cosmic Magic Net and continued his escape.
When the storm of Divine Power slowly subsided,
a man in jade-green Divine Armor, holding a jade-green Divine Artifact Long Saber, slowly materialized.
’What a powerful Ancient God Curse,’
’and that guy is just a Legendary Demigod from the Evil God Sequence.’
’Could he be one of the Calamity Court Realm’s most powerful figures from the Mythical Wave?’
After a moment’s thought, the Middle Rank God from the Blade Master Sequence abandoned the idea of pursuit.
Although he had the means to track and hunt down his target,
that Evil God was simply too formidable. He wouldn’t gain any advantage by chasing him, and it would be safer to hunt the others.
Zorn continued his flight.
Aside from that brief initial encounter,
once he fled deeper into the realm, no other Middle Rank Gods tried to stop him.
’The Cosmic Magic Net provides incredible stealth and extreme speed.’
’It’s only natural that the Jade Realm’s Middle Rank Gods can’t catch me.’
’In that case...’
Zorn mused silently.
’Next, I’ll use the Forbidden Curse Spores and Ritual Fire to corrupt and incinerate this Ancient Divine Kingdom.’
’First, I’ll spend some time wreaking havoc in the outer areas, then I’ll enter that special Treasure Land to harvest resources.’
’That way, I can make progress on both fronts without delay.’
With this in mind, Zorn put his plan into action.
「Half a day later.」
Within a dungeon hidden in some ruins,
Although it was part of the Ancient Divine Kingdom, it existed in its own independent Spatial Layer Realm.
It also maintained some form of ecological cycle with the outside world.
But the place itself was extremely well-hidden.
In a dark and silent corner,
Zorn performed a ritual, slowly activating the Forbidden Curse Fungus.
The moment it activated,
the blood-red fungus began to writhe and pulsate, rapidly expanding outward.
It absorbed the surrounding Energy while devouring the nutrients within the Divine Kingdom.
The Ancient Divine Kingdom had become a perfect breeding ground for the fungus.
「About two or three days later.」
The first batch of the Forbidden Curse Fungus had fully grown.
「About half a month later.」
These Forbidden Curse Fungi began to release their spores.
The spores then began to spread wildly throughout the dungeon.
Some spores even began to spread to the outside world through the area’s unique cyclical pathways.
Of course, Zorn did not wait around.
Instead, he moved to other locations to continue planting the Forbidden Curse Spores.
As he continued to deploy and spread them,
soon, the entire Ancient Divine Kingdom would become a paradise for the Forbidden Curse Spores.
While deploying the spores,
Zorn also released the Ritual Fire in several extremely remote and hidden areas.
After all!
A portion of what the Ritual Fire consumed in its sacrificial burning was fed back to Zorn himself.
This was a critical part of his cultivation and the key to increasing his power.
...
「Black Star Divine Kingdom, within a majestic Stone Hall.」
Ossirion looked at the intelligence report before him.
His brow was furrowed in anxiety, but a faint glimmer of pleasure soon cut through it.
In the six months since the invasion of the Ancient Divine Kingdom began,
although they had been well-prepared and were aided by numerous unique techniques,
the vast majority of the Middle Rank Gods who entered had suffered grievous casualties.
Detailed statistics showed that, on average, each had died more than six times.
As for the damage dealt to the Ancient Divine Kingdom, it wasn’t non-existent, but it was negligible.
This was a far cry from the strategic objectives set by their superiors.
At this current rate of offensive destruction,
it would be impossible to inflict any effective damage on the Ancient Divine Kingdom.
Moreover, the Jade Realm had already launched an offensive against the defensive fortresses of the Black Star Divine Kingdom.
