Chapter 606

Xiao Jianguo brought Li Yi to a defense line on the eastern side.

This place had been affected by a major battle and was in shambles. Moreover, the number of warning devices deployed here was low. Besides that, the number of evolvers remaining here was also small, seemingly because they had suffered heavy losses in a battle and had not yet found suitable personnel to replenish their ranks.

After all, when facing the Demon God Realm, ordinary evolvers were useless; only those with great strength would suffice.

And people with great strength were the hardest to find at this time.

"Li Yi, I'll have to trouble you with this place. I will try my best to send more personnel over later to restore this part of the defense line as much as possible," Xiao Jianguo said.

Li Yi looked around and then said, "No need. You can't bring in experts capable of stopping Heavenly Demons anyway, and others coming here would likely just be throwing their lives away. This is enough, if I'm guarding this place alone."

"That won't do. The number of people is too small, and the remaining ones aren't strong enough. There is only one at the Spirit God Realm, and the rest are at the Spirit Power Realm. If you really encounter beasts from the Demon God Realm, I'm afraid you'll have to fight alone," Xiao Jianguo said.

Li Yi said, "The remaining people just need to be responsible for surveillance. If I can win, numbers are useless to me. If I can't win, even adding more people would be redundant."

His magic power was vast, and he didn't fear prolonged battles or being swarmed, provided he could defeat his opponent.

Xiao Jianguo said, "It's a good thing you have such confidence, Li Yi, but I will still try my best to pull some personnel over to help you. Even if it's just to share a little bit of the pressure for you, that would be good."

He didn't want to place the pressure of an entire defense line on one person; as the person in charge of the Demon God Realm defense line, that was not permitted.

"Suit yourself. However, I will naturally do what I promised. I will stay here for thirty days," Li Yi said.

"Good, then I'll leave this place to you," Xiao Jianguo said. "But there is one thing I must make clear in advance: since you have accepted this mission, you are not allowed to desert during the mission period."

"Of course, I still understand the rules," Li Yi said.

"That's good." After Xiao Jianguo finished speaking, he saluted Li Yi and then strode away.

After he left, Li Yi didn't waste time and immediately began to work.

Since he had to stay here for thirty days, he naturally had to plan well and see how to deal with any crisis that might arise within these thirty days.

First, he needed to have a safe place to stay.

He couldn't just stay on this scarred battlefield in fear every day; if a Heavenly Demon suddenly attacked one day and he died in a daze, how unjust would that be?

Li Yi took out the Tianyi Palace at this moment.

This was a palace at the level of a Dao treasure; even a Great Demon could not easily blast it open. Staying inside the Tianyi Palace was considered very safe.

He tossed it aside, and the Tianyi Palace immediately transformed.

In just the blink of an eye, a building resembling a fortress sat upon the earth.

This was the benefit of a Dao treasure; it could transform into any shape. He isolated the other parts of the Tianyi Palace and only opened a main hall for himself to rest.

The sudden appearance of such a building within the defense line immediately attracted the attention of the other evolvers on the line.

They flew toward this side one after another.

"What's going on? Why is there suddenly an extra fortress? Is this a new defensive building? It looks a bit strange; it has no firepower configuration, and it doesn't look very sturdy either."

"I just received news that an expert named Li Yi has taken over the defense line here. The person next to that fortress should be him."

"Finally, an expert has been sent to support us. If they didn't come, this place couldn't be held any longer."

Several voices of discussion arose.

It was seen that only four evolvers had gathered. Among them, three were evolvers at the Spirit Power Realm, whose strength could be considered relatively weak here. The other woman had decent strength, with cultivation at the Spirit God Realm, and there were traces of her also practicing Immortal cultivation methods.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Li Yi?" the leading woman asked very politely.

"I am Li Yi. Xiao Jianguo asked me to come and be responsible for the defense line here. Are you the evolvers stationed here?" Li Yi asked.

"Yes, my name is Su Mu. It's a pleasure to meet you," Su Mu said. "These are Tao Sheng, Pan Hongjie, and Lu Yi."

Afterward, she introduced the three people beside her one by one.

These three were experts from the military, and they were dressed the same. Although they were at the Spirit Power Realm, their bodies exuded an iron-blooded aura, as if they had experienced many great battles and had been tempered a thousand times. Although their realm wasn't particularly high, if they were in the same realm, there would definitely not be many who could win against these three.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Yi. From now on, we are all teammates. I hope we can cooperate smoothly and hold this defense line together," Li Yi greeted them very politely, not acting arrogant just because his strength was higher than others.

The three also greeted Li Yi enthusiastically; after all, they would be fighting side by side for the next period of time.

"You came at the right time. I'll introduce this fortress to you while I'm at it," Li Yi then pointed to the building in front of him and said, "This is a magic treasure with strong defensive capabilities. I use it to temporarily serve as a rest area. Staying inside, you don't have to worry about being attacked by demon beasts."

"Since we are all teammates, I won't be stingy. If you are willing, you can also go inside to rest." "That's great!" Su Mu was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this. "With such a safe place, we don't have to stay awake every day staring at the warning devices."

Even evolvers would become mentally strained if they couldn't get rest for a long time; they needed a safe shelter to rest.

"Li Yi, although it's a bit presumptuous, could you let the three of them go inside to rest for a day first? They haven't really rested for a month. Just in time, I can tell you about the situation of this defense line," Su Mu remembered something and said immediately.

"No problem. You go inside to rest; I'll take care of this place for now," Li Yi nodded to indicate.

Tao Sheng, Pan Hongjie, and Lu Yi were all relatively reticent. They just nodded and, without further ceremony, walked toward the fortress, preparing to rest for a day to recover their spirits so they could better deal with the upcoming crisis.

After they went to rest, Su Mu immediately said, "Li Yi, although my question is presumptuous, I still have to confirm it personally: what level of demon beasts can you deal with, Li Yi?"

"I killed a Heavenly Demon when I came here. Anything below a Great Demon is no match for me," Li Yi said. "Moreover, I believe my strength will improve after some tempering. You don't need to worry about this point."

"You can kill a Heavenly Demon?" Su Mu was delighted. "I didn't expect your strength to be so high; even a Heavenly Demon is no match for you. I knew we couldn't be that unlucky forever. This time, we've finally waited for a true expert."

Being able to fight against a Heavenly Demon meant that the casualties on this defense line would be very small.

As for Great Demons, they were very rare existences. Even if one appeared, there would be experts stationed on the defense line to fight them, so they didn't need to worry about that.

!

"Li Yi, follow me. I'll take you to see the size of the area we are responsible for, as well as some precautions." Afterward, Su Mu soared into the air, signaling Li Yi to follow.

Li Yi was a newcomer and indeed needed to understand the situation here. Golden auspicious clouds grew under his feet, and he followed.

Soon, Su Mu took him and flew a distance toward the Demon God Realm.

About several tens of kilometers.

"Various warning devices and detection equipment have been deployed within these one hundred kilometers. As long as a demon beast appears, an alarm will sound immediately. Of course, these devices also need to be added at any time because the other side will often take action to destroy these instruments."

"So we must remain vigilant because sometimes when the alarm sounds, it might be the other side feinting, deliberately messing with us, but sometimes it is a real attack."

"The area we are responsible for is from there to here. The real source of danger is the north, this direction. This is the road to the Demon God Realm, and the demon beasts all come from there."

Su Mu kept explaining while taking Li Yi along, and she also shared her experience without reservation.

Li Yi nodded and committed these to memory.

He felt it was necessary for him to learn with an open mind and not be arrogant or complacent. After all, this was a battlefield. Even though he had the protection of a Three-Flower Realm expert behind him, there were always times when help couldn't arrive in time, so at critical moments, he still had to rely on himself.

After taking a tour.

Su Mu stopped at the end of the defense line: "This is the limit of where we can safely reach. Any further ahead is the territory of the Demon God Realm."

Li Yi looked up at this moment and saw that on the grassland in the distance, a mountain range had appeared at some point. The mountain range looked like a city wall, separating the Demon God Realm from Earth.

And on the mountain range, demon energy was pervasive, and there were some banners fluttering.

He saw clearly that on one banner were written ancient demon characters. Although he didn't know what they meant, he guessed they should be: "Tian Yue."

Because these demon beasts were all obeying the orders of the Tian Yue Demon King to invade Earth.

In the middle of the two defense lines, however, it was scarred and riddled with holes. The ground was blood-red, and the remains of demon beasts were everywhere, along with the corpses of many evolvers and fragments of various weapons.

This place was simply a bloody battlefield.

When Li Yi was looking at the other side, on the mountain-like city wall of the other side, there were also demon creatures looking at this side.

In just a moment, he felt many gazes filled with killing intent gathering toward this side.

"We can't stay here for long. The demon creatures of the Demon God Realm have bad tempers. They often can't help but rush out of the defense line to fight us, and because of this reason, major battles often break out here."

Su Mu also sensed the danger. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said this, while also having Li Yi retreat quickly to avoid unnecessary friction.

"Are there Great Demons on the other side?" Li Yi asked.

"There must be Great Demons sitting in command, but the Great Demons on the other side don't take action easily. Under normal circumstances, Heavenly Demons take action quite frequently, which is why we are so urgently in need of experts who can fight against Heavenly Demons," Su Mu said.

Clearly, even in the Demon God Realm, Great Demons were not cabbages that could be pulled out at any time.

"As long as the Great Demons don't take action, then there's nothing to worry about." Li Yi glanced at it, then slowly retreated from here with Su Mu and returned to the area he was responsible for.
