The Novel Court, which had existed in the Sea of Chaos for a long time, had been defeated. Alas, even
a mighty rock could crumble under strong pressure.
Everyone felt like they were dreaming—or rather, having a nightmare.
They had all resigned to the fact that there was no stopping the forces of the Annihilation Mountain
from taking over the headquarters of the Novel Court. They all helplessly watched as the steady stream
of enemies rushed in.
"There are abundant creatures here in the headquarters of the Novel Court. Why don't you go in and
absorb their original blood essence?"
Ronnie smirked triumphantly as he looked at Atticus and Chapman.
The two men's eyes flashed in excitement and they immediately bolted into the headquarters without
hesitation.
The headquarters of the Novel Court was a big and vast world.
Within it were many other smaller worlds and countless stars.
There were also a multitudinous number of creatures that lived there.
Atticus and Chapman opened their mouths and took a deep breath.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Original blood essence rushed out from the bodies of all the creatures.
It surged together and gathered into a vast sea. Atticus and Chapman sucked it all into their mouths.
They wore cruel and satisfied smiles on their faces once they were finished.
By collecting the blood essence of these creatures, they would be able to improve their strength to a
much higher level.
Ronnie taught them this secret technique.
Although the two of them hadn't practiced this secret technique for a long time, they were already
deeply fascinated by it.
It had made their strength advance by leaps and bounds in just a short period of time. It was no simple
matter.
Recently,
the creatures in a dozen universe communities in the Sea of Chaos were killed overnight. Their original
energy essence was sucked out of them, leaving no trace of life.
Atticus and Chapman were the ones responsible for this.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two strode in the headquarters of the Novel Court, slaughtering creatures left and right, absorbing
their original blood essence.
Corpses upon corpses piled up. It was a ghastly sight.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
While the two were busy slaughtering, a small world rose from the innermost part of the Novel Court,
as if it was equipped with an engine. It sped through the void, trying to escape.
"Do you think you can escape? Hah! No way!"
Atticus, Chapman, and Ronnie all narrowed their eyes. They then cast the law of space to seal the
small world.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A token emerged from the small world, slitting the sealing energy of the three in one sweeping
movement.
The small world then disappeared in an instant.
The main forces of the Novel Court had hidden inside this small world and used it to successfully
escape.
"From this day on, the headquarters of the Novel Court will be one of our strongholds,"
Ronnie disdainfully declared.
Meanwhile,
in the Ice Palace,
the main headquarters of the alliance,
the senior leaders and the genuine divine gods under Austin were gathered in a meeting hall to discuss
countermeasures.
They were preparing for the extreme because Ronnie said that he would come for the alliance next.
"I believe we should lay low for the time being. It is clear that Ronnie is too powerful—he wiped out the
entire Novel Court and took over their headquarters."
Several of the senior leaders nodded in agreement. They did not want to fight in an unwinnable battle.
"We were finally able to gain a firm foothold in the Sea of Chaos.
If we immediately retreat in the face of a strong enemy, we will become a laughingstock!
We have to stick to our position. If Ronnie dares to come, we'll fight him to the death!"
Other senior leaders were resolute and wanted to fight.
The Ice Queen and the other nine core leaders remained silent.
"We can't hastily make a decision on this matter. It's too important. We have to report it to Leader
Austin and ask him to decide,"
the Ice Queen finally said after the crowd had argued for a while.
And then, as if on cue, Austin suddenly appeared in the hall.
"There's no need to discuss. Gather our people at once. We shall return to the three thousand big and
small universes."
Austin's voice was so resolute that everyone in the hall immediately fell silent.
"Yes, leader!"
all the senior leaders answered in unison.
They were devoted to obeying Austin without question.
It was Austin's avatar that appeared in the hall. His real body was still cultivating the Introduction to
Vital Energy Circulation on Earth.
His avatar accompanied his parents back to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos.
Upon hearing the news, he rushed over to the hall.
Not long after Austin gave the order, the alliance began to retreat from their strongholds in the Sea of
Chaos.
All the people returned to the headquarters with all possible haste. Then, through the teleportation
array of the Ice Palace, they were directly teleported back to the three thousand big and small
universes.
In less than a day,
everyone from the alliance had evacuated the Sea of Chaos.
"Well, the alliance is getting more and more efficient,"
Austin said as he nodded in satisfaction. The speed of the retreat was faster than he had hoped.
"You are really good at leadership.
I'm relieved that you're the one who is leading the alliance,"
Austin said to the Ice Queen, with a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
"I'm flattered.
However, I can't take full credit for this.
It's the result of the joint efforts of all the members of the alliance,"
the Ice Queen replied.
"Well, you can all go back now.
All the strongholds of the alliance, including the Ice Palace, will be temporarily abandoned.
Our members are more important than those strongholds after all. They're the most precious resource
of our alliance.
Where there is life, there is hope.
We can always recapture those strongholds in the future,"
Austin assured.
The strength that Ronnie showed was too terrifying.
He had successfully led his people in capturing the headquarters of the Novel Court.
The loss of the Novel Court greatly astounded the other five super forces that they immediately made
arrangements.
And now, the majority of the members of the alliance went back to the three thousand big and small
universes through the Ice Palace.
Only Austin and the twelve zodiac animals were left in the Ice Palace.
Soon enough,
a mighty army arrived
outside the Ice Palace.
In front of the army were eight flood dragons pulling a chariot. They didn't stop until they reached the
gate of the Ice Palace.
"Master Ronnie is here!
All the members of the alliance, come out to welcome him or face the consequences!"
a semi-governing god announced as he stepped in front of the army.
On the chariot, Ronnie stood with his hands behind his back, his head high, his eyes cold.
His domineering aura made every creature tremble with fear.
"How dare you ask us to come out to welcome you? You bastard.
Who do you think you are?"
Austin sneered as he and the twelve zodiac animals walked out of the Ice Palace.
"Imbecile! How dare you speak so rudely to our master?"
a semi-governing god beside Ronnie retorted, his face flaring up with rage.
"Austin, we meet again."
Ronnie glowered at Austin with his sharp eyes.
