Divine-level Base

Chapter 328 - 327: The Situation Takes a Sudden Turn

WHOOSH!

The Divine Archer from the Black Tortoise Realm drew his bow, and nine arrows shot out like meteors. In an instant, they slammed into the Devouring Ghost Demon Duke’s body, blasting open nine bloody holes.

The Swordsman seized the opportunity, lunging forward with a single slash. A terrifying torrent of Sword Qi instantly slew the Devouring Ghost Demon Duke.

In another pocket of space, a Blood Demon Race Duke had just appeared when the Netherworld reappeared. Countless Netherworld Illusion Butterflies swarmed, enveloping him completely. In an instant, the Blood Demon Race Duke lost his soul and became a corpse.

The greatest difference between a Spirit Saint Realm powerhouse and a Spirit Venerable Realm powerhouse is achieving the Unity of Heaven and Man. This allows them to create a Resonance with the world and partially mobilize the Spiritual Power between heaven and earth.

Within the range of the Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower, the Blue Star Spirit Saints could mobilize even more Spiritual Power. This was why Luo Tiangang was able to activate the Netherworld Illusion Butterfly to hunt his enemies with a relatively small burden.

If he were outside the range of the Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower, activating the Netherworld Illusion Butterfly to hunt a Void Demon Duke would consume a massive amount of his Spiritual Power. He wouldn’t be able to get off many "shots." This was the importance of having a territorial advantage.

The unopposed Void Demon Dukes channeled their power within their respective pocket spaces, destroying them one by one.

The Four Extremes Spirit Saint, Wu Zhongchao, held his Magic Staff and chanted an incantation, continuously partitioning the battlefield.

Every time a Void Demon Duke destroyed a pocket space, Wu Zhongchao would transport them to another one, an endless and inexhaustible cycle.

"Damn it!!"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Devouring Ghost Demon Grand Duke Ponce. With a wave of his hand, the Four-Winged Demon Dragon Remains—a skeleton with a hundred-meter wingspan, covered in black scales, possessing four wings and a dragon’s head—flew out. Like an aerial fortress, it crazily slammed toward the blue Barrier.

Those Four-Winged Demon Dragon Remains were a terrifying Semi-Divine Artifact under Grand Duke Ponce’s control, containing infinite might. It was also one of his trump cards.

"If you want to save them, you’ll have to get through me first!!"

With a cold snort, a handsome, middle-aged man in white robes with a scholarly air—Spirit Saint Shangguan Tianhe—appeared. He sneered and took out the Sacred Artifact, the Extreme Ice Wall, frantically pouring his Spiritual Power into it.

In an instant, a terrifying iceberg twenty meters thick and three hundred meters tall materialized, blocking the path of the Four-Winged Demon Dragon Remains.

BOOM!!

The Four-Winged Demon Dragon Remains slammed into the terrifying iceberg. The massive wall of ice, capable of withstanding an attack from a Spirit Saint, instantly shattered into pieces.

Shangguan Tianhe spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated frantically with his Sacred Artifact, the Extreme Ice Wall.

CRASH!

The Four-Winged Demon Dragon Remains struck again, viciously smashing against the Cyan Seal Barrier and shattering it to pieces.

The four blue crystal statues exploded one after another, sending countless crystal fragments flying in all directions.

The Void Demon Barrier that Wu Zhongchao had set up also collapsed in an instant.

The eight surviving Void Demon Dukes and dozens of Void Demon Marquises fled to the outside.

Fighting against the powerhouses of the Blue Star Human Clan within the domain of the Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower was simply too disadvantageous. More importantly, nine Void Demon Dukes had already been killed. If they continued to fight, they would only be completely annihilated.

"A Semi-Divine Artifact! Leave it behind!!"

Luo Tiangang’s gaze fell on the Four-Winged Demon Dragon Remains, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He frantically poured his Spiritual Power into his weapon and pulled the trigger.

The mysterious and unpredictable phantom of the Netherworld appeared, and countless Netherworld Illusion Butterflies, like ghosts, pounced upon the Four-Winged Demon Dragon Remains.

The Four-Winged Demon Dragon Remains, which was like an invincible fortress, was swarmed and torn at by the countless Netherworld Illusion Butterflies. It erupted with a terrifying Power of Void Demon and thrashed its wings, attempting to break free from the butterflies’ assault.

Within a few breaths, the Four-Winged Demon Dragon Remains lost all its power and plummeted from the sky.

Far away, the Devouring Ghost Demon Grand Duke Ponce’s face turned pale. He spat out a mouthful of blood and swayed, a look of dread in his eyes. ’The Netherworld Illusion Butterfly is truly worthy of being one of the Seven Great Holy Spears. It’s too difficult to deal with. I’ve lost this battle!! Damn it!! That useless trash An Guonan!!’

Once the Void Demon Dukes and Marquises fled, the elite army of nearly one million soldiers from the Void Demon Clan also collapsed and scattered in all directions.

A portion of the Qianyuan Republic’s elite army gave chase for about ten kilometers, annihilating roughly one hundred thousand Void Demons before decisively choosing to fall back and hold their position within the main camp.

The Void Demon Clan’s strength far surpassed that of the Blue Star Human Clan. Wu Kuang was one of the Four Pillars of Qianyuan, and contrary to his name, his command style was extremely cautious and careful. He preferred to advance methodically, playing to the Human Race’s defensive strengths, and would not engage in reckless battles.

「One day later.」

A world-shaking piece of news spread throughout the entire Void Demon Battlefield.

The Brentania Republic’s three hundred thousand elite soldiers had been completely annihilated by the Void Demon Clan. One of the Seven Great Holy Spears, the Ice and Snow Wolf Emperor, had fallen into the hands of the Void Demon Clan. Spirit Saint Trela, Spirit Saint Gamal, and Spirit Saint Aziz were killed in action.

As soon as the news broke, it cast a shadow over the hearts of all the powers on Blue Star.

Even when news of the Qianyuan Republic’s allied forces winning a great victory over the Void Demon Clan and slaying nine Void Demon Dukes came out shortly after, it was not enough to dispel that shadow.

「Mire Dragon Territory, Lord’s Mansion.」

Luo Feng stared at the battle report, his face a mask of disbelief. "Three hundred thousand of the Brentania Republic’s elites wiped out by the Void Demons overnight. It’s truly unbelievable."

Li Xuan Yi’s expression was grave. "Our peaceful days are over. What comes next is the Void Demon Clan’s strategic counteroffensive. Ah Feng, we need to start preparing for total war."

Hassina asked, confused, "Why? Didn’t our Qianyuan Republic’s main force win a great victory over the Void Demon Clan and kill nine Void Demon Grand Dukes?"

"The Blue Star Human Clan is weak. When facing the Void Demons, we must win continuously for others to keep investing and raising their stakes. But once a major defeat occurs, those same people will start thinking only of preserving their own strength."

"After the Brentania Republic suffered such a crushing defeat, the nobles and the Royal Family in their country will no longer send powerhouses to the Void Demon Battlefield."

"Meanwhile, the Void Demon Clan can send a continuous, inexhaustible stream of reinforcements to fight us, the Blue Star Human Clan."

"If I’m not mistaken, the main forces of our Qianyuan Republic and the Jiasen Republic are already trying to figure out how to retreat. If they don’t fall back now, they won’t be able to escape once the Void Demon Clan’s main army surrounds them!" Zhu Chenyu analyzed methodically.

Shu Feng said, "Prepare for total war! Issue a mobilization order to the territory! Also, from this day forward, cease all external grain sales. A great war is coming, and with grain in our stores, our hearts will be at ease."
