“Void!”
Just this word had attracted the attention of all the living beings in the Star Boundary. At this moment, many pairs of eyes couldn’t help raising their head, whether it was the Human, Monster, or Demon Race, all of their eyes flashed with a strange light.
This was especially true for the natives of the Star Boundary. When these two words completely froze on the Void Heavenly Cauldron, a thought almost instinctively appeared in their minds: A new Great Emperor was born in the Star Boundary! This thought came out of nowhere, and no one knew how it came about, but everyone firmly believed it.
Because this was the will passed by the Heavenly Dao…
To be able to witness the birth of a Great Emperor in the era of their own survival, this was a great honor and a great boost to their morale!
Xue Li, who was hiding in one of the Demon Race’s armies, clenched his teeth and said, “He actually… succeeded.”
Although he had learned from Jia Long that the final Source Heavenly Fruit was taken by Yang Kai, Xue Li still harbored some hope that Yang Kai’s strength was insufficient. Even if Yang Kai obtained the Source Heavenly Fruit, he would not be able to become a Great Emperor so quickly. At the very least, he would be able to increase his strength and at that time, but he would still be no match for the Demon Saints.
However, from the looks of it, the Source Heavenly Fruit’s effects were truly boundless, allowing that High-Rank Demon King to directly break through to the Great Emperor Realm!
However, this thought only lasted for a moment before Xue Li grit his teeth and shouted, “Relay my orders, disregard all casualties, seize High Heaven Palace in the shortest time possible!”
Yang Kai had become a Great Emperor and obtained the 'Void' title, no one knew what kind of strength he would have when he appeared again, nor did they know when he would appear. What they needed to do now was to attack High Heaven Palace as quickly as possible and contaminate the Star Boundary’s last pure land. Only then would all their plans be complete. Even if Yang Kai really had the strength of a Great Emperor, it would be useless.
With this order, the already frenzied offensive increased by 30%, causing the High Heaven Palace Sect’s Great Array to flash violently, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
Realizing this, Li Wuyi quickly ordered the surviving soldiers of the Star Boundary to resist.
Looking down from high up in the sky, the endless Demon Race army was like a black tide, crashing towards High Heaven Palace from all directions, while the various armies inside High Heaven Palace stood guard, each of them attacking with their Divine Abilities and sending out their artifacts to repel the black tide.
As the two sides fought to the death, no one noticed that the Void Heavenly Cauldron in the sky suddenly shattered and soon disappeared.
In the southeast corner of High Heaven Palace, the Sixth Stem Army had joined forces with the other five great armies to set up a defensive perimeter. Yao Si sat in the middle of the army, his expression solemn as he commanded the troops. Orders were constantly being issued from his mouth, and after many days of fighting, he couldn’t rest for even a moment. His mind was racing rapidly as he tried to think of a way to break through the enemy, but unfortunately, under the frenzied assault of the Demon Race’s main force, all he could do was passively resist.
“Army's Manager Sir, the Great Array is about to collapse.” A Monster Race from the Eagle Garrison flew over, the excessive consumption of his strength making it impossible for him to stand steadily. As he spoke, he even collapsed in front of Yao Si.
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud cracking sound came from the great array.
Yao Si looked up and his expression changed drastically as he saw cracks appear on the Southeast Great Array’s light curtain and quickly spread out.
Turning his head, he saw Hua Qingsi floating in mid-air, holding the Sect Master’s Seal in her hand and urging the Spiritual Veins of the High Heaven Palace to supplement the Great Array, but at this moment, her face was as pale as paper and her body was on the verge of collapse.
High Heaven Palace’s Sect Protecting Array was indeed impressive, but it was unable to withstand the Demon Race’s crazy attacks for such a long time. The reason it was able to persist until now was all thanks to the Star Boundary’s various armies desperately resisting.
At this moment, the Spirit Array could no longer endure.
Kacha…
A crisp sound rang out as the southeast corner of the Great Array collapsed and a tide of Demon Race soldiers poured into the gap, letting out a thunderous roar that caused the sky to change color.
Yao Si urged his Emperor Qi and shouted, “Anyone who violates my Star Boundary will be killed without mercy!”
“Kill!” Shouts filled the sky, shaking the entire world. Facing the Demon Race, none of the Star Boundary’s soldiers retreated, because everyone knew that High Heaven Palace was the last bastion of humanity. Losing High Heaven Palace was equivalent to losing the entire Star Boundary, and there was no way to retreat.
Rather than being corroded by the Demonic Qi and becoming a mindless Demon, it was better to die on the battlefield and eat a piece of the Demon Race’s flesh before dying.
A tragic and stirring sound of a Wizard Technique rang out from all over the army as rays of light from a spell flashed, enveloping a large number of the Star Boundary cultivators.
Like two torrents of steel, they rushed towards each other and soon collided.
Blood and severed limbs flew in all directions, and in that instant, thousands of lives were annihilated. The massive southeast battlefield seemed to have transformed into a giant meat grinder that shredded the Human Race and Demon Race to pieces.
However, this was only the beginning. In less than ten breaths of time after the Southeast Great Array was broken, the entire High Heaven Palace’s Great Array began to emit a cracking sound as it began to collapse.
The all out war began, and from all directions, the Demon Race’s army poured into High Heaven Palace, entering the Human Race’s last pure land and bringing in Demonic Qi and Demonic Intent.
The battle was bloody and brutal.
In the past, High Heaven Palace’s headquarters had been filled with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but now it had been completely destroyed.
Numerous Pseudo Emperors rushed forward to meet the Demon Race’s Half-Saint, fighting fiercely in the sky.
Even the two Dragon Clan Elders couldn’t sit still any longer, transforming into two giant dragons that rushed out from High Heaven Peak. Xue Li, Fu Yu and Huo Bo hurriedly rushed forward to meet them, fighting in the sky above them as loud rumbling sounds spread throughout the four regions of Star Boundary.
On the ground, there was a battlefield of the Pseudo Emperor and Half Saints. The Demon Kings and Emperor Realm were either in groups of three or five, or playing alone. Either one of them would die.
Somewhere on the battlefield, a giant palace rampaged. Yang Xiao and Yang Xue controlled the Passing of Time Temple and stood atop the steps of the palace, jointly activating the power of the endless hourglass. The ten thousand and eight grains of Time Divine Sand transformed into dust that filled the sky, and wherever they passed, the laws of time would envelop the Demon Race, robbing them of their senses and vitality.
On the other side, Lan Xun held the Universe Tower in her hand as her Emperor Qi surged. Every time the Universe Tower flew out, it would take away a large number of Demons and trap them inside. Not only that, but with her as the center, a giant cage made of vines wrapped around all the Demons within a thousand feet radius. Inside the cage, the vines danced about, transforming into sharp blades that stabbed into the bodies of the Demons one by one, devouring their vitality and spirit, quickly turning them into skeletons.
Inside the mountain forest, the nine stone puppets under the leadership of their clan’s Elders rampaged about, relying on their superior physical strength to crush the Demon Race. Countless Demon Race masters were smashed to pieces, with the Wood Spirit Race following closely behind them, each of them wearing a solemn expression.
On the mountain peak, Su Yan, Xia Ningchang, Xue Yue, and Shan Qingluo formed a strange formation that was like a sharp blade as it weaved through the blood and corpses piled up on the battlefield. Wherever it passed, the Demon Race fell like straw.
The cultivation of the four women had all reached the Emperor Realm, and with the four of them working together, no one below the Half-Saint Realm could stop them. Even a High-Rank Demon King wouldn’t be able to last ten breaths in front of them.
Their performance quickly attracted the attention of the crowd as an illusory figure shuttled through the battlefield, coldly staring at the four of them as a cruel smile appeared on his face as he silently approached.
Within a radius of a hundred meters, the human race cultivators had yet to figure out what was happening before they all fell to the ground and died.
Not long after, this figure arrived not far from the four women. Without any hesitation, this figure flashed and slashed towards Xia Ningchang’s neck.
“Huh?” Su Yan, who was leading the group, frowned and instinctively felt that something was wrong. Among the four women, she was the strongest and her perception was also the sharpest. The moment she noticed something was wrong, she flicked her sword and pointed it towards Xia Ningchang while shouting, “Ningchang, be careful!”
The formation formed by the four women was completely controlled by her, and as soon as she made her move, Xue Yue and the others couldn’t help but follow suit.
A series of clangs rang out as a figure flashed through the air, causing sparks to fly as a series of delicate cries rang out. In an instant, the formation was broken and the four women were sent flying.
With the combined strength of the four of them and the help of their battle formation, they were actually unable to withstand a single blow from the other party. In mid-air, Su Yan’s heart sank as she looked towards Xia Ningchang’s direction and finally saw the blurry figure of the attacker.
“Shadow Demon Half-Saint!” Su Yan was shocked and hurriedly shouted, “Ningchang, dodge!”
At this moment, Xia Ningchang also saw the appearance of the person who had ambushed her. It was a middle-aged man with a hawk nose and a sinister look on his face. His entire body was wrapped in Demonic Qi and before he appeared, she had not even noticed him.
After hearing Su Yan’s shout, how could she not understand her current situation?
Fighting was not her forte. Since she started cultivating, she had spent most of her time in the Pill Refining Room. Because she possessed the Spiritual Medicine Holy Body, Alchemy was her forte, so although her Emperor Qi was extremely pure, she didn’t have much real combat experience.
This was the first time in her life she had encountered such a dangerous situation, but Xia Ningchang found that her mind was surprisingly calm. Seeing the Shadow Demon Half-Saint grinning at her, she raised her hand and threw out a World Bead.
This was a World Bead that Yang Kai had refined during his experiments in the Lower Planes Star Field. It didn’t have the ability to take in people, but after all, it was something he had painstakingly refined, she didn’t need to use her Emperor Qi. As long as she threw it out, it would be able to display great power.
The Shadow Demon Half-Saint on the opposite side coldly snorted and lightly blocked with a dagger in his hand. Unexpectedly, he was hit by a massive force that nearly sent him flying.
