607 Crisis in the Divine Palace

Buzz.

In the cosmos, traces of spatial ripples surged, spreading in all directions.

Lin Feng walked out of the spatial passage. He glanced at the surrounding cosmos, but his expression was very somber.

“It’s already in this state…”

The surrounding cosmos had long been torn apart. Broken planets and countless corpses of Silent Beasts floated in the cosmos. There was no sign of life anywhere. There was no trace of the vitality from before.

This was the Bemond Galaxy, presided over by Divine King Bemond. It had always been the safest and most peaceful galaxy, but now, it had become like this.

In fact, when he saw the occasional corpses of cultivators in the cosmos, Lin Feng seemed to be able to sense a “tragic” aura permeating the cosmos.

The reality looked far more devastating than the information provided by the mechanical civilization. The Bemond Galaxy was very likely already in a rather critical situation.

“With Divine King Bemond presiding over it, how did the Bemond Galaxy get to such a state?”

Lin Feng’s expression gradually darkened. He entered the spatial passage again and warped towards the Divine Palace of Bemond.

…

“There’s still no news from His Majesty the Divine King?”

Grand Emperor Long Yuan’s expression was a little dark. In reality, all the disciples of the Divine Palace of Bemond were dejected. Under the “leadership” of Grand Emperor Dragon Abyss, the current Divine Palace of Bemond could be said to have suffered a crushing defeat.

From the initial border to even the surroundings of Planet Bemond in the present, traces of the Silent Beasts had appeared. Grand Emperor Long Yuan undoubtedly had to bear the responsibility.

Before Divine King Bemond had left, he had instructed Long Yuan to “hold the fort”. But what happened now?

“Your Highness Long Yuan, ever since His Majesty the Divine King left the Divine Palace of Bemond, he has been discussing solutions with the Divine Kings and Divine Venerables of the other galaxies. There is still no news until now.”

The Divine Palace of Bemond was indeed very strong, but the Silent Beasts were stronger.

No one had expected that ever since Divine King Bemond left, those Silent Beasts would charge out of the Silent Galaxy like they had gone insane.

There were dozens of Grand Emperor-level Silent Beasts, and top-notch Grand Emperor-level Silent Beasts at the on top of that. Even Grand Emperor Long Yuan could only hold them off and could not repel them.

Almost half of the current Bemond Galaxy had fallen. Chaos reigned everywhere. The Divine Palace of Bemond was shrinking its defense line day by day and retreating step by step. Now, it had nowhere left to retreat.

This was because if they retreated again, even Planet Bemond would be destroyed. Without Planet Bemond, what prestige would the Divine Palace of Bemond have left? How could they command the entire Bemond Galaxy?

“There are still too few Grand Emperors in the Divine Palace…”

Grand Emperor Long Yuan heaved a long sigh. The Divine Palace of Bemond usually had a Divine King presiding over it, and was mighty and powerful all around. Yet, they never thought what would happen to the Divine Palace once the Divine King had left.

Divine King Bemond had temporarily left this time to completely resolve the matter of the Silent Beasts too. If he returned and saw that the entire Bemond Galaxy was occupied by the Silent Beasts, and even the Divine Palace of Bemond was gone, how furious would he be?

Grand Emperor Long Yuan could not shoulder such a responsibility!

However, there were simply too few experts in the Divine Palace now. There were too few Grand Emperors, and he was the only top-notch Grand Emperor. Faced with this calamity, the Divine Palace of Bemond could barely hold out.

“If His Highness Lin Feng were here…”

Grand Emperor Long Yuan thought of Lin Feng, but then shook his head. So what if Lin Feng was here? Although Lin Feng had the combat power of a Grand Emperor, there was no knowing how long it would take for him to become a top-notch Grand Emperor. Moreover, even a top-notch Grand Emperor could not save the current Divine Palace of Bemond.

Relying on others now would not work. They could only rely on themselves!

“Set up the cosmic array. Planet Bemond will be our last line of defense. Stand guard!”

At this point, Grand Emperor Long Yuan could only think of this method, and that was to defend it to the death. No matter what, Planet Bemond could not be lost, and the Divine Palace of Bemond could not lose all its dignity.

Otherwise, even if they escaped, they would be too ashamed to face Divine King Bemond.

As the Divine Palace of Bemond activated the cosmic array, immediately, countless planets around Planet Bemond were linked by the cosmic array, connecting these planets as one.

Immediately after, some Silent Beasts began to appear around it. They tried to attack the cosmic array. However, these Silent Beasts were only some planetary lifeforms. How could they break through the cosmic array of the Divine Palace of Bemond?

All of them were injured from their collisions, but they continued to charge at the cosmic array in a frenzy.

These were what Silent Beasts were like. Although they had intelligence, it was very little. Moreover, they were born with the ability to destroy and devastate. They could search for all life auras and charge forward to destroy them.

If these Silent Beasts were left alone in a galaxy, it probably would not take long for it to become as lifeless as the Silent Galaxy.

Although these Silent Beasts did not seem to be able to break through the cosmic array, the cultivators hiding in the Divine Palace of Bemond were in no mood to celebrate.

This was because these were only the weakest Silent Beasts. Moreover, these Silent Beasts were constantly attacking the cosmic array of the Divine Palace of Bemond. Every strike would ultimately exhaust the energy of the cosmic array.

As time passed, some powerful Silent Beasts began to appear. Silent Beasts comparable to advanced planetary lifeforms, for instance, began to appear in hordes.

The impact on the cosmic array grew even more violent.

Then, the first Grand Emperor-level Silent Beast appeared. As this Silent Beast appeared, all the cultivators in the Divine Palace of Bemond held their breaths and focused, their expressions very solemn.

Grand Emperor-level Silent Beasts were rather daunting. The cultivators of the Divine Palace of Bemond had fought with these Silent Beasts for so long, so they naturally knew how terrifying they were.

One Grand Emperor-level Silent Beast was already rather terrifying. Moreover, there was definitely more than one Silent Beasts this time.

As expected, as the first Grand Emperor-level Silent Beast appeared, it collided fiercely with the cosmic array, causing the entire array to shake slightly.

Immediately after, the second, third, fourth, and fifth Silent Beasts appeared one after another. Seeing so many Silent Beasts, everyone’s expressions turned grave.

Rumble.

The five Grand Emperor-level Silent Beasts led countless Silent Beasts to charge at the cosmic array of the Divine Palace of Bemond in a frenzy. With every charge, the cosmic array would fluctuate continuously, as if it was on the verge of collapse.

In reality, even the cosmic array of the Divine Palace of Bemond had its limits. Even though it was personally set up by Divine King Bemond, in reality, the power of the cosmic array could not be considered very strong. It was far less powerful than the cosmic array of the Silent Galaxy.

The collision of five Grand Emperor-level Silent Beasts was already enough to shake the entire cosmic array. Moreover, as time passed, everyone saw that more Grand Emperor-level Silent Beasts had already appeared.

The sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth…

Moreover, when an incomparably massive Silent Beast emitting a terrifying aura appeared in the depths of the universe, despair appeared in the eyes of all the cultivators.

That was one of the strongest Silent Beasts that had invaded the Bemond Galaxy this time. Apart from Divine King Bemond, no one was its match. Even Grand Emperor Long Yuan could only hold it off.

As soon as this Silent Beast appeared, the hearts of the cultivators in the Divine Palace of Bemond sank, and they felt a trace of despair.

“Your Highness Long Yuan, what should we do?”

Everyone looked at Grand Emperor Long Yuan. No matter what, Grand Emperor Long Yuan was the only top-notch Grand Emperor in the Divine Palace of Bemond, and the only hope for all cultivators.
