Chapter 1184: She Probably Comes from a Higher Domain
Jiang Yi steered the Mystic Divine Palace toward the Buddha Mountain. He wanted to bring Yin Ruobing, Su Ruoxue, Mo Yao’er, and the others back into the palace. If they did not remain by his side, he would not be able to relax. He also wanted to ask the Yi Clan to send a message to Snow Region. Jiang Yi wanted the clans there to know that he had broken out of the array formation and that Qian Gui, Shui Youlan, Yun Tianqing, and the others have been rescued.
Ninety percent of the Mystic Divine Palace’s energy had been consumed, but using Heaven Evasion was not a big deal. Using Heaven Evasion did not require that much energy of the palace. The Mystic Divine Palace’s restrictions could absorb power from the surroundings so Jiang Yi was confident that its powers would be replenished either way.
Of course, with this little energy left, Jiang Yi could not afford to be careless using Heaven Evasion. It could be quite dangerous after all. He slowed down his use of Heaven Evasion for fear that something would happen in that realm between s.p.a.ce. Jiang Yi could probably come out of it alive, but he could not say the same for Yi Chan, Jiang Yunhai, and others.
As Jiang Yi used Heaven Evasion, the army at G.o.ds Bestow Island was getting ready for activation. The scouts, who had all types of mystical abilities, prepared to move secretly toward the Endless Deep Sea. They had to get a hold on the situation there and form the front lines of the army.
The Battle Thearch and North Thearch gave orders for the army to start training. They discovered many problems during their battle on Sin Island. This time, they had to train themselves to perfection. The commanders were to be more active, and the army’s battle skills had to be improved. The second army had already arrived at Sin Sea. Once the main army arrived, they would begin immediately.
The Battle Thearch and North Thearch discovered that the Sonar Thearch was missing and that he moved the Chen Clan from the Divine Sonar Region to the Snow Region!
Although both of them felt anger and frustration, there was nothing that they could do about it. Everybody had his own will—n.o.body could force anyone else to do something they did not want to do. The Sonar Thearch had already contributed significantly to the battle on Sin Island. Now, n.o.body could say anything about his last-minute escape.
The good thing was that the elders of the concealed sects had emerged as well. The second army contained more than a hundred DemiG.o.ds. Both the Battle Thearch and the North Thearch felt confident of this battle. Would this strong army not be able to wipe out the entire Endless Deep Sea?
The scouts sent regular updates about the Endless Deep Sea; everything was calm. In the five hundred thousand kilometers of sea east of Sin Island, there were no strong demons. There were not even any demon sovereigns. It was so quiet that it was frightening.
The scouts kept going deeper and deeper. They all specialized in the Endless Deep Sea since they were of a special race. They had demon aura around their bodies and looked just like the demons. As long as they did not meet with demon sovereigns, their ident.i.ties would not be exposed.
On the third day, the scouts sent yet another update back. They had already scanned a million kilometers of the sea, and yet they had not found a single strong demon. What’s more, they discovered that all the demons from the continents surrounding the Endless Deep Sea were entering the Endless Deep Sea. Ao Lu was obviously gathering all the demons, preparing to guard the Mystic Martial City.
“Set off!”
The Battle Thearch and North Thearch City discussed and decided to move out earlier. They would enter the Endless Deep Sea slowly at first. Then, they would send the army to kill off all the demons in the continents surrounding the sea. This would crush them! Since Ao Lu was prepared to die guarding the Mystic Martial City, they would get rid of all his possible escape routes. The Mystic Martial City would stand as a lone island.
Tens of millions of soldiers rushed out at once. The DemiG.o.ds were split up. A group of seven-star DemiG.o.ds split into ten different teams. Each team was then further split into three groups. Some of them headed for the center of the Endless Deep Sea while the others went toward the south and north respectively. They were prepared to kill off all the demons in the ten or so continents around the sea. They would leave the Mystic Martial City for the last.
The army was activated. Immediately, there was a wave of bloodshed!
They met many low-level demons along the way. There was no need for the formidable martial artists to even make a move. Heaven Monarch Realm martial experts were easily able to wipe them out. There were too many demons in the Endless Deep Sea. In just three days, more than a hundred million low-level demons were killed.
These low-level demons did not have intelligence. When humans came near them, they would automatically start attacking. Once they were killed, the smell of their blood attracted even more low-level demons toward the humans. The North Thearch and Battle Thearch remained leaders of the army. They sent groups of soldiers down to the Endless Deep Sea in turn. These low-level demons formed the foundation of the demon race. In time, they would only become stronger and stronger. If they managed to wipe out all the low-level demons now, they could ensure that the Endless Deep Sea would incur a great loss.
“Extend the battle. Don’t rush toward the Mystic Martial City. We have to wipe out all the low-level demons within a million-kilometer radius of the city first. Scouts, stay alert to any movement within the Mystic Martial City. I want to see how long Ao Lu can hold on.”
The Battle Thearch discussed matters with the people around him for a long while and then decided to change his strategy. They were not rus.h.i.+ng to enter the Mystic Martial City. Instead, they were taking their time with killing off the low-level demons around the city. These low-level demons were the demon race’s foundation. They were just like the civilians of the human race. As more low-level demons died, the Endless Deep Sea would find it more difficult to recover its essence energy for the next hundred years.
This was just like how the Zi Clan, s.h.i.+ Clan, and Ma Clan attacked the cities surrounding the Yi Clan. Since the Yi Clan had gathered at the Buddha Thearch City to guard it, the three clans could wipe out the civilians of the surrounding cities. Even if the Yi Clan was able to guard the Buddha Thearch City, there would be no more civilians left in the surrounding regions. For hundreds of years, the Yi Clan could not recover their essence energy.
The other two attacking teams were doing well. More than ten continents that had been dominated by demons were already wiped out. The human race’s army was incredibly strong. No demon had so far been able to fight it. Not a single demon in the small continents was allowed to survive. Every single one of them was killed!
The human race’s alliance army killed the civilians of Sin Island without batting an eyelid. Killing demons was far easier on their conscience. In just ten days, the second human army rushed toward the Endless Deep Sea and killed trillions of more demons.
Ao Lu could not sit still any longer!
He wanted to die protecting Mystic Martial City indeed because he had already formed a big array formation inside it. The array was similar to the Nine Dragons’ G.o.d-Extinguis.h.i.+ng Array. It could strengthen many demon sovereigns. The problem was… if the human army was allowed to keep killing, all the low-level demons would be killed. Then what would be the point of them standing guard in the city?
Thus, Ao Lu gave orders for the strong demons in the Endless Deep Sea to move out!
The strong demons of the various clans gathered and got ready to fight to the death with the humans. At the same time, Ao Lu activated the terrifying array that surrounded the Endless Deep Sea. At night, the temperature in the seas dropped to frightening levels. The human Heaven Monarchs’ skills were badly affected by the drop in temperature.
Hundreds of thousands of demon kings and demon thearchs were activated. The demon sovereigns of the Endless Deep Sea were activated as well. All of them charged toward the army commanded by the Battle Thearch and North Thearch at once. Even the strong demons of the surrounding continents joined the army. Hundreds of thousands of demons formed a dense group that rushed into the sea. The scene was majestic. The demons’ strong aura caused the hidden scouts’ hairs to stand as well.
The North Thearch and Battle Thearch received news of this and quickly gathered the two groups back. They also asked the second wave of soldiers to move quickly from the East Imperial Continent. They were prepared to send their army to die in battle.
“Forebear! Will we win this war?”
In the purple gold palace hall of the Mystic Martial City, a beautiful woman with purple hair blinked in worry. Princess Qianqian was fully recovered now. She had a strange glow around her body that made her look all the more beautiful at that moment.
Ao Lu sat on his icy throne, expressionless. The Shadow Emperor was standing right behind him. The Black Deity had already led an army out. Ao Lu’s cloudy eyes looked hard as he sighed. “If the Mystic Martial City goes into battle today, I am confident we will win. However, I am only forty percent sure we will win now. If… that la.s.s can break through, I’ll be fifty percent confident.”
“That la.s.s?”
Qianqian narrowed her eyes and looked astonished. “You mean Little Sister Xiaonu? This… how can that be? The humans are so much stronger. How can Little Sister Xiaonu make so much of a difference?”
“Hehe, don’t belittle that la.s.s.” Ao Lu said confidently, “This la.s.s is not simple. If I’m not wrong, the Ink Feather Race comes from a Higher Domain!”
