Chapter 380: Black Clouds Pressing on the City! Spatial Mysteries

"East Demon, how did you know Sha Kun is my personal disciple?" A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the God Qiong Jin.

He was shocked.

According to the public intelligence of the Wan Mo Civilization, none of their three great gods had taken on personal disciples. After all, the requirements for a god to take on a disciple were quite high; ordinary peak demigod powerhouses could not catch their eye.

Furthermore, their cultivation paths had to be the same.

Demigod Sha Kun was previously a quite famous demigod of the current Wan Mo Civilization, second only to Demigod Ye An. In terms of strength, he could be called a limit demigod powerhouse.

Because he had a grudge against the God East Demon, although the God Qiong Jin had taken him as a disciple, he had never leaked this news.

Not long ago, Demigod Sha Kun managed to break through, and his comprehension of the laws finally reached the Seventh-Stage Perfection level, which made the God Qiong Jin extremely happy. He believed these were all secrets that no one knew.

Never had he imagined that the God East Demon would know it so clearly. How could he not be shocked?

"Qiong Jin," the God East Demon said indifferently, "I am the leader of the civilization. As long as I want to know, it is difficult for things within the civilization to be hidden from me."

"Hmph! Big talk," the God Qiong Jin sneered. "Demigod Ye An was controlled by heart-soul, why didn't you discover it all this time?"

The God East Demon was speechless.

This poked at his sore spot. Demigod Ye An being controlled indeed made him, who had always been proud, feel embarrassed.

"Stop arguing."

"Since we have decided to go to war with the Seven Star Civilization, we should work together. Why argue at a time like this?" the God Bei Yue said. "Qiong Jin, has Demigod Sha Kun really broken through?"

"Yes, he has been roaming in many dangerous places in the starry sky, looking for opportunities, and managed to break through not long ago," the God Qiong Jin nodded. "But he has cultivated for over three hundred years and still has higher pursuits in his heart, so he was not in a hurry to break through to become a Void God."

"Impressive." Upon receiving confirmation from the other party, the God Bei Yue said quite excitedly, "With his law comprehension reaching the Void God level, his strength will definitely increase significantly. He should surpass the demigod limit and be close to the Void God level."

The demigod limit is the limit that demigod powerhouses can normally reach.

And whether it is the Seven Star Pulse or Void God level law comprehension, both surpass this kind of limit.

"He cannot be called demigod invincible. He only had a breakthrough in law comprehension; his star pulse is not too strong, only a Six-Star Pulse," the God Qiong Jin said.

"That is enough. His strength can easily block hundreds of demigods," the God Bei Yue smiled. "With him leading the army, plus dozens of peak demigods and hundreds of ordinary demigods... we will definitely be able to break through the Flying Star of the Seven Star Civilization in one fell swoop."

Clearly, the God Bei Yue hoped that Demigod Sha Kun would participate in the war.

"I cannot force him; I must ask for his opinion," the God Qiong Jin said. "Secondly, even if he is willing to participate in the war, he is currently in the starry sky outside the plane... it will take half a month to rush back."

The God Qiong Jin was dissatisfied with the God East Demon, but he was still very polite to the God Bei Yue.

Flying and shuttling through the gaps in the starry sky, even if there are many star gates or wormholes that can help with shuttling, the journey still consumes a very long time.

"Half a month? That is too long," the God East Demon frowned.

Soldiers value speed. According to his idea, it would be best to concentrate a large number of demigods within a few days and end the war in one fell swoop.

"It is not slow."

"East Demon, many demigods within the civilization are roaming outside. Just concentrating them will take a lot of time," the God Bei Yue said. "Besides, do you intend to kill them all?"

"What do you mean?" the God East Demon was stunned.

"Just as you said, this may be a trap set by Dongfang Ji," the God Bei Yue said. "Then, we can fully test it once or twice... firstly, to see if it is a trap."

"Secondly, to test out the defense methods of the Seven Star Civilization, so that we can target them."

"Our number of demigods far exceeds that of the Seven Star Civilization. We can afford the consumption. Even if three trade for one, we can exhaust the demigods of the Seven Star Civilization."

"Finally, wait for Demigod Sha Kun to rush back, and then conduct the final decisive battle," the God Bei Yue said. "It would be best to kill Fang Hai and Li Yuan in one fell swoop. They are the biggest threats to the Seven Star Civilization."

"If Dongfang Ji dies, and then we kill those two, then our Wan Mo Civilization will have hope of occupying the Seven Star Civilization forever... If we cannot kill those two, we can only seize some benefits."

"That is acceptable," the God East Demon nodded, feeling that what the God Bei Yue said made sense.

War should be treated with caution.

From then on, the three great gods of the Wan Mo Civilization formulated three goals for the war, from low to high.

First, test and confirm the life or death of Dongfang Ji through war.

Second, if we fail to kill Li Yuan and Fang Hai, strive to occupy the Flying Star and send a large number of Flying Heaven Realm and demigods into the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals without damage to seize benefits.

Third, kill Fang Hai and Li Yuan and completely occupy the Seven Star Civilization.

After the three great gods finished discussing the details.

"I will go and persuade Demigod Sha Kun. He should come back," the God Qiong Jin said.

In fact, the vast majority of the mortal domain is what is called the 'starry sky gap'.

It is just that most of these areas have harsh environments, and the planets in the starry sky gaps are mostly dead planets, making it even harder to nurture life... Usually, one must reach the demigod level to have enough ability to shuttle and roam in the starry sky gaps.

Within the dimensional plane, because of the existence of the plane origin, the space is stable, and it takes a long time for demigods to shuttle between different planets.

But in the starry sky gap area, there are spatial rifts from time to time, and star gates and wormholes that can cross the starry sky are even more numerous.

This makes it more convenient for demigods to shuttle through the starry sky.

Likewise, it is also more dangerous.

In a piece of starry sky quite far from the Wan Mo Civilization, there is an incomparably huge ice planet here.

A million miles away from the planet, on a huge rock orbiting the planet, the celestial body is crisscrossed with gullies.

A dark canyon.

Whoosh!

Whoosh! An invisible wave is vibrating and impacting outward with the canyon as the center in a quite regular manner. Faintly, one can see that the depths of the canyon are shrouded in a hazy earthy yellow light.

In this light, a black-armored figure about five meters tall, whose whole body seems to be cast from metal, is sitting cross-legged.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" The black-armored figure opened his eyes and waved his hand. Immediately, a stream of light flew out, forming a huge light screen in front of him.

A mysterious figure appeared in the light screen.

"Sha Kun," the God Qiong Jin looked at this personal disciple of his through the light screen.

"Master," Demigod Sha Kun said respectfully.

"Have you told others about the news of your breakthrough?" the God Qiong Jin said in a low voice. "Also, who else knows about the relationship between you and me as master and disciple?"

"Leaked?" Demigod Sha Kun was stunned. "Master, very few people know. Only those few life-and-death brothers know that I have broken through... they should not leak it."

"Then how did the God East Demon know?" the God Qiong Jin shook his head.

Demigod Sha Kun was slightly shocked in his heart.

"Forget it, this is not the point, we will talk about it later," the God Qiong Jin changed the subject. "I sent you a message because of another matter."

Quickly.

The God Qiong Jin told the other party the result of the discussion among the three great gods.

"Dongfang Ji is dead?" Demigod Sha Kun held his breath, somewhat unable to believe it. "How is that possible?"

He could not believe it.

Dongfang Ji, in his heart, was a peerless figure comparable to a god... even if his law comprehension had reached the Void God level, he had never thought of going to compete with Dongfang Ji.

The two sides were not on the same level.

"The probability is very high," the God Qiong Jin said. "Whether you are willing to participate in the war, you decide for yourself... You awakened a Six-Star Pulse in the Flying Heaven Realm. If you cultivate step by step, your hope of awakening a Seven-Star Pulse before you ignite the divine fire is very slim."

Demigod Sha Kun nodded slightly. He was unwilling to break through immediately just because he wanted to take his star pulse a step further.

It is just that the difficulty is too high.

Even if his law comprehension had broken through, it still made him unable to see hope.

"But if you can enter the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals, you will have this hope," the God Qiong Jin said in a low voice. "You are my disciple, but as your master, I will not force you. The cultivation path is one you walk yourself."

"If you participate in the war, there is a danger to your life."

"Therefore, you decide for yourself."

Demigod Sha Kun's eyes flickered, and he pondered for a long time.

"Master, I am willing to give it a try," Demigod Sha Kun said in a low voice. "Once I become a god, the foundation will be set. Even if I cannot awaken a Seven-Star Pulse, as long as I can awaken a Nine-Layer Star Pulse, it will be worth it."

"If I can awaken a Nine-Layer Star Pulse and cultivate the auxiliary Nine-Layer Star Art, my hope of becoming a True God will increase greatly."

"Good," the God Qiong Jin said. "Then rush back to the civilization as soon as possible."

Not long after.

Demigod Sha Kun turned into a stream of light and quickly left this piece of starry sky.

"Wan Mo Civilization territory, all major planets, start full alert," the Wan Mo Civilization quickly issued an order.

Although they are the attacking side, the Wan Mo Civilization also has other enemies besides the Seven Star Civilization, so naturally, they must also be vigilant.

"Demigods gather."

"All demigods, immediately pass through the 'Star Realm Channel' and head to the designated planet. Do not leak secrets. Violators will die."

"Receive divine artifacts."

"Prepare the Yuan Force Array."

"No need to ask for the reason, just follow the orders." One order after another was issued, and the entire Wan Mo Civilization was like a huge war machine, completely turning from top to bottom.

Migration preparations within the Seven Star Civilization, large-scale mobilization of Flying Heaven martial artists.

War preparations of the Wan Mo Civilization... the various actions of the two major civilizations, although none were public, and both were trying their best to hide the news.

But the scale of the mobilization was too large, and it was simply impossible to hide all the news.

Especially some forces that were extremely concerned about the two major civilizations.

Immortal Ruins Civilization, Nine Clouds Immortal Sect.

This is one of the oldest sects of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, and also the number one sect of the Immortal Ruins Civilization today.

Above the mountain range of the sect's holy land, there are layers of strange cloud vortices, the diameter of the vortices exceeds a thousand kilometers, and one can vaguely see many floating palaces in the cloud vortices. This is the Nine Clouds Realm.

Inside a magnificent hall in the Nine Clouds Realm.

"Interesting."

"The Seven Star Civilization has started a comprehensive migration plan? It seems that they have a premonition that the entire civilization is about to fall into the flames of war," Void God Yan Lin, wearing a black robe, looked at the two pieces of intelligence in his hand.

"The Wan Mo Civilization is also mobilizing a large army, and a large number of demigods are gathering?"

"Could it be that the Wan Mo Civilization is going to invade the Seven Star Civilization again?" Void God Yan Lin quickly reached a conclusion. "And the Seven Star Civilization thinks that it is very likely they cannot block it?"

"How is that possible!"

Void God Yan Lin shook his head. "According to the meaning of Ancestor Chi Yan, even a Void God initial-stage powerhouse is not necessarily Dongfang Ji's opponent... no matter how many demigods the Wan Mo Civilization has, they will not be Dongfang Ji's opponent."

"If Dongfang Ji breaks through, even if he cannot be comparable to me, I am afraid he is very close," Void God Yan Lin guessed.

He has cultivated for more than two thousand years and is already at the Void God peak level.

How long has Dongfang Ji cultivated?

The gap between the major realms of demigod and Void God is very difficult to pile up with numbers.

"Even if they use the strongest battle array of our Immortal Ruins Civilization, the 'Void Dry Yuan Array', and combine hundreds of demigods into one, it only makes the power level reach the Void God level... it is difficult to win against Dongfang Ji," Void God Yan Lin shook his head.

He knew Dongfang Ji very well.

Many demigods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization had had contact with Dongfang Ji in the starry sky gaps.

Without exception, all those who dared to provoke him had fallen.

"The truth I understand, the Wan Mo and Dongfang Ji have fought for so long, it is impossible that they do not understand," Void God Yan Lin pondered. "But there are still signs of war breaking out... it can only explain one thing."

"Dongfang Ji is not in the Flying Star!!"

"Did Dongfang Ji fall? Or was Dongfang Ji trapped somewhere and unable to return to the Seven Star Civilization?" Void God Yan Lin thought to himself, and suddenly another thought appeared: "Or is it that Dongfang Ji is laying out a plan?"

Separated by such a long distance, the intelligence was limited, and Void God Yan Lin could only guess, unable to confirm which possibility was higher.

"Pass down the order."

"Closely monitor the war between the Wan Mo Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization," Void God Yan Lin sent a message.

"Yes!"

It was not just the Immortal Ruins Civilization that was paying attention to the Wan Mo Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization.

"Is the Wan Mo Civilization really going to start a war again? Did they get any news?"

Within the Tian Liang Civilization, a large group of demigods led by 'Demigod Jin Liang' also quickly received the news.

They had a close relationship with the Wan Mo Civilization.

"Don't be anxious."

"Monitor at all times."

"The Wan Mo Civilization has not yet summoned us to participate in the war," Demigod Jin Liang said. "We cannot act as cannon fodder. How many demigods does our entire civilization have? We cannot afford the loss."

"Monitor."

"If there is an opportunity, then take the initiative to apply to the Wan Mo Civilization to participate in the war," Demigod Jin Liang said.

"Yes!"

"Let the Wan Mo Civilization go first, we will see the situation. Order the Tier-Two Star Realms and Tier-Three Star Realms bordering the Seven Star Civilization not to have any provocative actions in the near future."

Within the Seven Star Civilization, Black Dragon Star.

In a void covered by clouds and mist, there is a standing rock tower, which does not look like a modern building and is full of ancient charm.

This stone tower, which is over three hundred meters tall, is like a stone mountain and is the holy land of Black Dragon Star.

"Demigod Yan Ming," Li Yuan said, "Are there any selected among these divine artifacts?"

A small palace was floating in front of Li Yuan, but there was a different world inside the palace, with pieces of divine artifacts exuding powerful aura floating.

It was exactly the Divine Artifact Room.

Leaving Blue Star for more than a day, Li Yuan first headed to Flying Star to collect the Star Art World, the Divine Artifact Room, and the Ten Thousand Gods Inheritance Cave Mansion.

Afterwards, he went to try to subdue those suppressed peak demigod alien races... all failed.

This was also within Li Yuan's expectations.

Too late to be discouraged, Li Yuan rushed to Tian Hai Star without stopping, and after recognizing the other ten peak demigod puppets as his own, he put them away.

Finally, he started to head to each planet, letting those remaining demigods choose two divine artifacts each.

In the past, ordinary demigods within the Seven Star Civilization, because their wealth and treasures were not enough, many did not have divine artifacts.

This time, with the war coming, for many demigods, it was also an opportunity.

"Vice Alliance Leader, I will take these two divine artifacts," said the man in fiery red robes standing not far away.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan's mind moved, and the two divine artifacts turned into streams of light and flew out, landing in front of Demigod Yan Ming.

"Thank you, Vice Alliance Leader," Demigod Yan Ming bowed slightly.

"If you want to thank someone, thank Alliance Leader Dongfang," Li Yuan sighed lightly. "These were all left behind by Alliance Leader Dongfang."

Only after truly taking over the Divine Artifact Room, the Ten Thousand Gods Inheritance Cave Mansion, etc... did Li Yuan know what kind of foundation Dongfang Ji had left for the Seven Star Civilization.

"Demigod Yan Ming."

"Black Dragon Star, you are the strongest among the demigods remaining on Black Dragon Star," Li Yuan said in a low voice. "In addition to the two divine artifacts, I will leave behind a batch of Flying Heaven puppets for you to command, to help you guard Black Dragon Star."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan waved his hand, and hundreds of figures immediately appeared in the void.

"Four hundred Flying Heaven puppets?" Demigod Yan Ming was surprised.

"The strength of these puppets is all at the Flying Heaven peak level," Li Yuan said. "They will listen to your orders... Black Dragon Star is left to you."

A total of 3000 Flying Heaven puppets were obtained.

Li Yuan left 800 Flying Heaven puppets each on Blue Star and Tian Hai Star, which were the two most important planets besides Flying Star.

The other four planets were each allocated 300-400 Flying Heaven puppets.

"Understood, Yan Ming will definitely not fail the trust," Demigod Yan Ming said solemnly.

"Hmm," Li Yuan nodded slightly.

The demigods remaining on the major planets... were all a batch of demigods that Fang Hai, Elder Yun, and the others had repeatedly considered and believed had a very low probability of being spies.

Like the seven great demigods of Blue Star, they chose two demigods from the Xia Nation to stay behind.

Therefore, Li Yuan dared to safely hand over the divine artifacts and so many Flying Heaven puppets to them.

Swoosh!

Li Yuan flew into the sky, and a huge green light quickly rushed out of the clouds and mist, carrying Li Yuan away.

"What a terrifying speed, that should be the Flying Snake spirit beast under Li Yuan's command," Demigod Yan Ming sighed to himself. "I hope Flying Star can hold on."

In the void, Liu Bing was taking Li Yuan to Lan Tie Star.

Suddenly.

"Li Yuan, we have received secret intelligence that the Wan Mo Civilization has confirmed the news of Master's fall and is concentrating demigods on a large scale, preparing for an invasion war," Fang Hai sent a message directly to Li Yuan.

"Leaked?" Li Yuan sighed in his heart.

Although he knew that there was a high probability of facing war, when the war was really coming, Li Yuan's heart could not help but tighten.

The number of demigods in the Wan Mo Civilization is more than ten times that of their own side.

"According to the news we received, the mobilization scale of the Flying Heaven Realm of the Wan Mo Civilization is not very large," Fang Hai continued to send a message. "It is estimated that they will concentrate demigods and directly attack Flying Star."

"I have already asked Demigod Mu Ji and the others to wait at the entrance and exit of the Star Realm. After I finish delivering the divine artifacts, I will immediately rush back to Flying Star," Li Yuan sent a message.

In terms of frontal combat power, Li Yuan is not very strong now. After all, he has not cultivated for long enough, and he is only in the Flying Heaven Realm, which is a level behind in terms of foundation.

But like this kind of group battle.

Li Yuan's soul attack is the strongest among the demigods of the Seven Star Civilization, even Demigod Lante and Fang Hai are not as good as him.

"Spear technique."

"The fusion of the two major laws, why is it so difficult." Li Yuan seemed to be flying on the road, but in fact, most of his energy had been deducing the mysteries of the two major laws.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a day passed.

On Flying Star, except for one demigod initial-stage powerhouse in each of the six Tier-Three Star Realms, as well as a large number of Flying Heaven martial artists assisting in guarding.

Other Flying Star demigods had all gathered at the entrance and exit of the Demon Mountain Star Realm.

Whoosh!

A green stream of light crossed the sky and landed on a towering mountain peak.

"It is Vice Alliance Leader Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan." The large group of demigods stationed in this area all sensed it and looked at the black figure on the distant mountain peak.

Whoosh!

A stream of light crossed, and quickly came to Li Yuan's side.

"Principal," Li Yuan looked at the person who came.

"Is everything done?" Fang Hai asked.

"Yes, the demigods of the major planets have all selected their divine artifacts," Li Yuan nodded solemnly.

Although the demigods had not obtained the divine artifacts for long and it was difficult to exert the power of the divine artifacts to the extreme, their overall strength could also be greatly improved.

"Not bad." Fang Hai's eyes were full of relief.

"Principal, is that the entrance and exit of the Demon Mountain Star Realm?" Li Yuan looked into the distance.

I saw that on this vast wilderness, there was a dark passage with a diameter of nearly a hundred kilometers, unfathomable. The passage seemed to have been torn from space, and it was vaguely not at the same spatial level as the surrounding land.

Deep in the passage, it was glowing with five-colored light, appearing extremely mysterious.

And around this passage, there stood strange mountain peaks, a full hundreds of mountain peaks.

"Yes," Fang Hai nodded. "The Demon Mountain Star Realm is incomparably huge, with a diameter of over 100,000 kilometers, and it also contains many dangers. Since the Battle of Flying Star more than a hundred years ago, neither we nor the Wan Mo Civilization have had demigods stationed in the Demon Mountain Star Realm... both are guarding at the entrance and exit of the Star Realm."

Li Yuan listened, these messages were not secrets.

However, this was Li Yuan's first time coming here.

"The Yuan Force Array set up by Master covers a radius of three hundred kilometers, and the core of the array is controlled by Demigod Lante. His soul cultivation is the strongest, and his realm is also extremely high," Fang Hai said. "Once the Wan Mo Civilization dares to invade, the array will be activated immediately."

"Without breaking the array, it is difficult for the demigods of the Wan Mo Civilization to rush out of this area," Fang Hai said solemnly.

"I can feel it." Li Yuan could sense that in this seemingly calm wilderness ground, there was a terrifying power lurking, and the power seemed to originate from the vast heaven and earth.

This is the Yuan Force Array.

The array that Li Yuan encountered on Lan Tie Star was obviously far inferior to this array.

"This is the Array Token." Fang Hai flipped his palm, and two tokens appeared in his palm: "Refine them, and you will be able to mobilize part of the array power at that time. You can induce the formation of a Yuan Force Law Body, or you can induce the array power to bless yourself... In short, you must protect yourself well."

"I only have one order for you."

"Live! Live on." Fang Hai stared at Li Yuan: "You and your spirit beast are the biggest reliance of our Seven Star Civilization now... As long as you don't die, then even if Flying Star falls, our Seven Star Civilization will have a day of counterattack."

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded.

Immediately, Fang Hai left, and Li Yuan gave one of the tokens to Liu Bing.

One person and one beast waited quietly here.

"The power of the array is indeed extremely strong." After Li Yuan refined the token, his sense of the array became clearer: "What we lack is the number of demigods."

Now, the demigod-level powerhouses stationed at the entrance and exit of the Demon Mountain Star Realm, including Li Yuan and Liu Bing, total only 28.

Even with the 40 peak demigod puppets lurking in the dark.

The number is too small.

"If we wait another month or two, we can have more than a dozen more demigods," Li Yuan sighed.

It is a pity that the Wan Mo Civilization obviously will not give this time again.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan closed his eyes gently, and strands of law fluctuations rose around his body, the mysteries of the laws intertwined, and even formed strands of spear shadows. He was still constantly deducing the spear technique.

With the great war coming, Li Yuan could only try his best to make his own strength stronger.

Time passed second by second.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Around Li Yuan, strands of sharp light were born out of thin air, and their power far exceeded before.

Almost at the same time.

On Li Yuan's Divine Palace panel, a prompt appeared silently: "【Stepped into the threshold of spatial mysteries, spatial mystery comprehension reached 1%】"
