Five powers had fallen! It was not a rival or one of the new arrangements the new powers brought but the most feared of all!
The Fiends!
The Dark Orchid Kingdom, Empire of the Sun, Ascetic Path Sect, Dance of Lightning Sect, and Claw Tribes were all wiped out in a single night!
The Divine Sword Sect and Hellfire Sect were closest to respond. They brought their full might but found few survivors. The Fiend powers finally expanded after nearly 6200 years of peace!
The Heavenly Maiden Sect then followed with many of the tribes from the Wilds. With such heavy hitters, the advance was stopped but they could not prevent the consumption of many Immortals and lower people.
Horror spread on that side of the realm but that was not all. A powerful message came from the heir of the Dark Orchid Kingdom before he died that they were betrayed!
