Chapter 2922: Chapter 2922: Building Palaces and Constructing Halls

Fang Bai made a high-profile return to the Fire Clan Realm, initially expecting that the journey would be fraught with danger and that the Dark Principal God would send experts to hunt him down. However, he unexpectedly returned safely to the Fire Clan Realm.

Fang Bai did not think that the Dark Principal God refrained from sending experts after him out of fear. It was more likely that he had allocated more of his power to the frontlines with the Fire Clan and Light Clan, leaving him temporarily unable to deal with Fang Bai.

Of course, it was also possible that the Dark Principal God was secretly accumulating power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

Furthermore, Fang Bai now had several Divine Emperor Realm followers from the Emperor’s Palace, forming a notable force. The Dark Clan might feel uncertain enough not to act rashly.

Regardless, Fang Bai remained highly vigilant. With his current strength, if anyone launched an attack, he would counter with the strongest possible retaliation.

Because he did not conceal his aura, Fang Bai was quickly sensed by the Fire Principal God upon entering the Fire Domain.

"Friend Fang, you’ve finally returned."

The Fire Principal God personally met him ten thousand miles away. Upon sensing the powerful aura emanating from Fang Bai, the worry on his face transformed into joy as he exclaimed, "It’s been over a decade since you left. I only expected you to advance a minor realm, but you’ve reached the high rank of the Divine Emperor Realm. This is truly a miracle."

Fang Bai humbly exchanged words and introduced the gods from the Emperor’s Palace to the Fire Principal God. Then he asked, "I heard that your noble clan is facing unfavorable conditions on the frontlines?"

The Fire Principal God smiled bitterly, "Unfavorable? It’s already dangerously critical... Come, let’s return to the temple and discuss further!"

Thus, the two great powers returned together, followed closely by the gods of the Emperor’s Palace, to the Principal God Hall of the Fire Clan.

After hearing the Fire Principal God’s account, Fang Bai learned that the Dark Clan had recruited more experts from other realms and was exerting greater pressure, launching even more fierce attacks on the Fire Clan and Light Clan.

The Fire Clan and Light Clan suffered heavy losses, retreating step by step, losing vast territories, and the situation had become extremely severe.

"I originally planned to personally intervene and have a decisive battle with the Dark Principal God, but I restrained myself. Despite everything, the Dark Principal God’s strength is likely stronger than mine, and even if I were to perish together with him, it wouldn’t prevent the Fire Clan’s eventual downfall to darkness. It’s better to keep my useful life and continue maneuvering against the Dark Principal God, hoping for changes to arise with time."

The Fire Principal God sighed.

During Fang Bai’s absence over the past decade, the struggles between the Dark Clan and the Light Clan, as well as the Fire Clan, reached an unprecedented level of intensity. The Fire Clan seemed deliberately targeted by the Dark Clan, resulting in innumerable fallen experts, causing great heartache for the Fire Principal God, even making cultivation difficult to find peace.

Now that Fang Bai had returned with immense cultivation prowess, it undoubtedly provided significant assistance, bringing some relief to the Fire Principal God.

Even though the addition of Fang Bai might not entirely turn the battle’s tides, any improvement in the situation is welcome.

Fang Bai discussed the establishment of the Emperor’s Palace with the Fire Principal God, who, after brief consideration, agreed and allocated a territory spanning a million miles adjacent to the Dark Clan.

Although a million-square-mile area may not be very large, it is sufficient for the current Emperor’s Palace.

Fang Bai entrusted his confidante Hongyan and several direct disciples with the establishment of the Divine Palace while he remained at the Fire Clan’s Principal God Hall to spar with the Fire Principal God. This was to familiarize himself with the twelve Principal Gods of the Chaos Realm’s supreme powers, allowing him to contend should he encounter the Dark Principal God in the future.

Although Fang Bai had not yet reached the transcendent realm, he possessed unparalleled combat strength and nearly invincible physique. Through successive battles with the Fire Principal God, he gradually became accustomed to the attack methods of the Principal God’s supreme command, initially lasting only ten breaths, but later managing to endure over a hundred without defeat.

As Fang Bai’s realm, cultivation level, and combat prowess increased, whether his seven Primordial Spirits or the divine artifact’s power within his brow’s Sea of Consciousness grew stronger, they provided assistance in attack and defense. This is what equipped Fang Bai with the ability to contend against a Principal God.

According to the Fire Principal God, although Fang Bai still significantly lags in combat power compared to the twelve Principal Gods, for them to kill him would be no easy task. If Fang Bai chose to escape, the twelve Principal Gods would find it challenging to keep him.

Thus, Fang Bai may be considered invincible beneath the twelve Principal Gods.

Recently, the experts of the Dark Clan discovered something peculiar. At the southernmost edge of the Fire Domain bordering their realm, the originally stationed Fire Clan experts suddenly withdrew, replaced by a group of Human Clan experts.

These Human Clan experts numbered only about a thousand, but included representatives from various major races of the Chaos Realm, among them several dozen Divine Emperor Realm experts.

Upon arrival, the Human Clan experts immediately began large-scale construction, utilizing local materials to swiftly erect a series of Divine Palace halls.

This force, with its dozens of Divine Emperors, may not measure up to the twelve major clans, but it is considerable enough for the Dark Clan experts, who initially faced off against the Fire Clan, to hesitate in provoking easily. They reported the matter layer by layer until it reached the Dark Principal God.

The Dark Principal God directed the Dark Left Envoy to investigate, and what he discovered astonished him.

To his surprise, those dozens of Divine Emperors were the very Innate Spiritual Root experts previously captured by the Dark Clan intended as offerings for the Dark Principal God’s cultivation.

The Divine Palace they erected was reportedly named "Emperor’s Palace," and its master was none other than the Chaos True Body who had rescued those Innate Spiritual Root experts.

"How can it be him? He’s building the Emperor’s Palace at the border of the Fire Domain—what is he plotting?"

When the Dark Left Envoy brought the news back to the Yin Pole Palace, the Dark Principal God was surrounded by intense Evil Qi.

The Dark Principal God had long coveted Fang Bai’s Chaos True Body, repeatedly sending forces to hunt him unsuccessfully. As Fang Bai’s power continued to grow, the Dark Principal God was equally surprised and apprehensive.

The Dark Principal God understood that if Fang Bai was allowed to grow unchecked, he would become an unprecedented formidable opponent. Perhaps even the aspiration of unifying the Chaos Realm would be shattered before him.

Thus, in the heart of the Dark Principal God, Fang Bai was marked as an enemy needing to be eliminated, planning to remove him before becoming a true adversary.

However, now Fang Bai is not hiding but instead leading a mere thousand followers to construct palaces near the Dark Clan border. What is he planning?

Who gave him this audacity?

The Fire Principal God perhaps?
