“Dominus, Venerable Oceanus wants to meet you. If you don’t attend the meeting, he’ll attack the Vigil Domain and make sure we never have a day of peace!”

Bai Xiong came to report to Venerable Vigil with a grim expression.

The Vigil Domain was not afraid of Venerable Oceanus, and the Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes was no joke either. Even without Venerable Vigil, they could still contend against a Venerable with the Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes alone.

However, if a Venerable attacked the Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes continuously, at all costs, there would be practically no peace for the 72 territorial planets of the Vigil Domain.

“Hmph, so Oceanus has finally run out of patience.”

Venerable Vigil opened his eyes, which flickered with a trace of coldness.

“Dominus, that Venerable Oceanus is ruthless and ambitious. He has tried to kill you a few times. I’m afraid there’s a trap in this high-profile provocation!”

“Do you think I don’t know what methods Oceanus is capable of? He thought he can kill me just because he recruited four mysterious cultivators. Invite Brother Lin Feng over! Then gather all the commanders!”

“Understood.”

Bai Xiong immediately went to make arrangements.

Lin Feng was the first to arrive, and learned some things from Venerable Vigil. It seemed like Venerable Oceanus was preparing to attack. Venerable Vigil was already prepared, and asked Lin Feng to guard the array.

Moreover, Lin Feng knew very well that back when he was fighting with Venerable Vigil, he vaguely sensed an aura of danger from Venerable Vigil. Clearly, Venerable Vigil had always been hiding certain trump cards, and those were some very terrifying trump cards.

As for why Venerable Vigil held off on using it to deal with Venerable Oceanus after so long, perhaps Venerable Oceanus also had a trump card that made Venerable Vigil wary, but the possibility of this was not high. If he really had a trump card, someone as power-hungry as Venerable Oceanus would have used it long ago. Why would he wait until now?

The probable case was that Venerable Vigil’s trump card could not be used lightly. Once used, it might be depleted, or even disappear. Hence, it would not be used unless in a life-or-death situation.

It was the same for Lin Feng’s Black Hole Pearl. Although it would not disappear after only one use, if used frequently, it would quickly lose its effect.

Hence, Lin Feng was not worried about Venerable Vigil’s safety. On the other hand, since Venerable Oceanus had come to provoke him again, Venerable Vigil could no longer tolerate it and was prepared to completely resolve his grudge with Venerable Oceanus.

After today, there would probably only be one left between the Oceanus Domain and the Vigil Domain.

About an hour later, a total of 13 planetary lifeform cultivators arrived, including Bai Xiong. They were all the commanders of the Vigil Domain, and all of them were planetary lifeforms.

The fact that so many planetary lifeforms had gathered was enough to prove the conviction of Venerable Vigil.

“Everyone, there’s no need for us to tolerate the repeated provocations of the Oceanus Domain! Come with me and conquer the Oceanus Domain!”

These 13 commanders all appeared very excited. They were completely tied to the Vigil Domain, and were bound together for good or ill. As long as the Oceanus Domain was around, the Vigil Domain would always be a threat, and there would be no peace.

Although Venerable Vigil had fought with Venerable Oceanus before, he had never publicly declared his intention to conquer the Oceanus Domain like today. It seemed like he had already made up his mind.

As for failure? These commanders would not consider such matters. Failure was just that, failure. Although the North River Galaxy was open and free, it was precisely because it was open and free that it was incomparably chaotic.

Once they failed, it would mean the destruction of the Vigil Domain. It would be a pipe dream for commanders like themselves to even survive.

Perhaps in other galaxies, the fall of planetary lifeforms would be an incredible and earth-shattering event. However, in the North River Galaxy, the fall of planetary cultivators was already a commonplace affair.

“All right, let’s go. Don’t keep Oceanus waiting!”

Venerable Vigil’s expression was solemn, and his entire body emitted a murderous aura.

…

In the cold and pitch-black cosmos, Venerable Oceanus was waiting with his 14 planetary commanders and four newly recruited mysterious cultivators.

A star in the distance emitted a terrifying energy fluctuation, but no one approached it. In the North River Galaxy, any capable Dominus would basically fortify their lair into an impenetrable fortress.

It was the same for Venerable Vigil. The Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes was no ordinary array formation. Once Venerable Vigil hid in the array, even if Venerable Oceanus and all the other planetary lifeforms attacked together, they would not be able to do anything to the Array of 72 Terrestrial Banes.

That was why Venerable Oceanus had forced Venerable Vigil to leave the Vigil Domain.

“He’s here!”

Venerable Oceanus’s eyes narrowed slightly. He saw 15 figures fly out of the Vigil Domain in the distance. The one in the lead was Venerable Vigil.

“Fifteen people?”

Venerable Oceanus sneered. Of course he knew that Venerable Vigil had brought back a mysterious cultivator from beyond, but he was only an elementary planetary lifeform. No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t be much.

At most, he’d be at the level of the commanders who were elementary planetary lifeforms, making both parties evenly matched. After all, there were 14 commanders under Venerable Oceanus.

As for the four new cultivators he had recruited, they were the secret weapons of Venerable Oceanus. Hadn’t he spent so much effort to force Venerable Vigil out just for this scenario?

Hence, seeing that Venerable Oceanus had really showed himself, Venerable Oceanus was elated. As long as Venerable Vigil was willing to show himself, he felt that this plan was already halfway to success.

“Oceanus!”

Venerable Vigil stared coldly at Venerable Oceanus. Venerable Vigil also harbored discreet resentment towards the “old opponent” whom he had fought dozens of times. He was focused on cultivation, and had no intention of competing for power at all.

Yet Venerable Oceanus’s avarice had deprived Vigil Domain of peace for thousands of years.

Now that he thought about it, it was indeed time to completely resolve the problem.

“Heh, Venerable Vigil, you’ve finally shown yourself!”

Venerable Oceanus sneered. His gaze swept past the people behind Venerable Vigil, including Lin Feng. However, his gaze only lingered on Lin Feng for an instant before he retracted his gaze.

Up until now, everything in front of him was still under his control.

“Oceanus, do you really want to fight to the death?” Venerable Vigil stared calmly at Venerable Oceanus.

Venerable Oceanus said disdainfully, “Venerable Vigil, it’s absurd that you can still gain a foothold in the North River Galaxy and own such a large domain. The North River Galaxy abides by the law of the jungle. If you want resources, you have to fight for them! I know that you’re very talented and dedicated to cultivation. If you give up on the Vigil Domain, we can naturally coexist in peace.”

“So, there’s no room for negotiation at all?” Venerable Vigil’s tone was becoming colder and colder.

“Venerable Vigil, you won’t give up on the Vigil Domain, because it is your foundation. Similarly, I won’t give up on my goal. So, let us fight. I know that you’ve refined a new Origin Weapon. Let me see how much stronger you have become.”

“As you wish. It’s indeed time for us to end things!”

Venerable Vigil closed his eyes. A terrifying aura surged out like a storm, sweeping in all directions.
