Chapter 388: Origin Divine Weapon! Clan-Suppressing Array

"Principal, be careful." Li Yuan transmitted his voice incessantly. Once they pursued into the Demon Mountain Star Realm, without the amplification of the Origin Force Array, their strength would plummet.

Conversely, the Demon Civilization's demigods would no longer be suppressed by the Origin Force Array, and their overall strength would actually rise slightly.

But Fang Hai had already vanished into the star realm passage, which was emitting a hazy glow.

"Little Bing, let's go." Li Yuan immediately sent a soul transmission.

Swoosh!

Liu Bing didn't say much; with a flick of her tail, her body, over ten meters long, darted forward. A cyan glow rippled across the surface of her wings, and Li Yuan had already grabbed onto them.

The speed of the two soared to the extreme, and they swiftly charged into the star realm passage.

In terms of flight speed alone, Fang Hai was only on par with Liu Bing.

"Stop."

Demigod Xue Bu gave the order directly: "Immediately clear the battlefield, recover from injuries, and replenish Origin Force."

"Yes."

Demigod Tian Huo, Demigod Xue Long, and the others were also clear about their own situation. If they charged into the star realm, their strength would plummet, and they would only add to the chaos for Li Yuan and Fang Hai.

One by one, they sat cross-legged and began consuming various rare treasures, seeking to recover from their injuries as quickly as possible.

After such a long battle, these demigods had consumed a great deal of Origin Force, and many were even severely wounded.

They had temporarily driven back the Demon Civilization's army, but whether the enemy would strike again was unknown. Naturally, they needed to recover their strength first and keep their combat power at its peak.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!" Among the dozens of peak demigod puppets, nearly twenty were severely damaged. To recover their strength, they required powerful master artificers to re-forge and repair them.

The remaining twenty demigod puppets, though their bodies were undamaged, had exhausted their internal energy sources. In the final stages, they had all been fighting using God Crystals. God Crystals were precious, and now that the enemy had retreated, they naturally could not continue using them. Moreover, demigod puppets were relatively slow and not adept at pursuit... Therefore, the numerous demigod puppets all circled the star realm entrance and began recovering on the spot.

Their speed at absorbing heaven and earth Origin Force was extremely slow; to fully replenish their energy sources, it would take at least three months.

However, being able to replenish even a little bit meant consuming fewer God Crystals, which was naturally excellent.

... Inside the Demon Mountain Star Realm, nearly three hundred demigods of the Demon Civilization fled into the star realm in a panic, one after another.

Before they could even catch their breath,

they saw that man, who resembled a demon god, also slaughtering his way along the hazy star realm passage, and their hearts grew somewhat panicked.

There was no help for it; they had been slaughtered too miserably by Fang Hai.

Of the hundreds of demigods who had died in battle, approximately two-thirds had died at Fang Hai's hands.

"Don't panic!"

"Once outside the range of the Origin Force Array, Fang Hai's strength is not as strong as you imagine. He is not a truly invincible demigod powerhouse." The cold voice of the North Moon Deity rang out in the minds of all the Demon demigods.

"Surround and attack him!"

"With hundreds of you demigods, if you join forces to surround him, there is hope of killing him." The command of the North Moon Deity was also issued.

In reality, before the two deities even issued their commands, many powerhouses among the hundreds of Demon demigods had already reacted... Their panic just now was merely because the situation had turned too quickly, catching them off guard.

"Surround him!"

"Destroy Fang Hai and take revenge!"

"If we continue to flee in all directions, we will only be picked off one by one. We must stop him."

"Form the array!" In just a second or two, over a hundred demigods gathered in one place. They simultaneously condensed Origin Force light orbs in their palms, and following that, the light orbs transformed into a vast, surging stream of light that shot into the sky, killing toward Fang Hai, who was pouncing over.

Although most of the hundred-plus demigods were only mid-stage or initial-stage demigods, and they were only using the simplest long-range attacks... the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, and the might of their combined attack reached a terrifying level.

This scene also caused Li Yuan, who had just charged in from the star realm passage far away, to feel a shock in his heart.

Li Yuan asked himself, if he were facing such a siege, he would fall if he were the slightest bit careless.

"Heaven's End! Sea Domain!"

Fang Hai's figure was ghostly to the extreme. With a few shifts and flashes, he avoided the massive stream of Origin Force light and unleashed his long saber.

The saber light tore through the air!

Between heaven and earth, streams of water were born out of thin air. The water streams gathered crazily, finally condensing onto the saber light, directly hacking away the streams of Origin Force light before him until they dissipated.

Boom!

Even without the amplification of the Origin Force Array, the terrifying combined attack of over a hundred demigods still could not stop Fang Hai.

The strength Fang Hai displayed, while not qualifying as "invincible demigod," was completely above the limit of a demigod.

"Kill!" Fang Hai was like a hot knife through butter, attempting to close in on this group of demigods.

As long as he could get close, once he was near this group of Demon demigods, slaughtering them would be easy.

It was a pity!

Boom! Boom! Boom! More demigods of the Demon Civilization stopped fleeing and, under the deities' orders, turned back to charge, immediately unleashing long-range attack methods.

Streams of Origin Force light whistled, attacking Fang Hai in a vast, surging manner, causing Fang Hai to face even greater obstruction.

"Pfft!"

The saber light crisscrossed, tearing through heaven and earth. Several demigods were closed in upon by Fang Hai, and their bodies were swiftly torn apart, causing them to fall directly.

But at this moment.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Over one hundred and fifty Demon demigods fought while retreating, consistently using combined long-range attacks, completely restricting Fang Hai's performance.

Even Fang Hai could not ignore the Origin Force light streams of peak demigod powerhouses; occasionally, when hit, his body's speed would plummet.

And more Demon demigods stopped fleeing to launch attacks.

Swoosh! A cyan stream of light streaked across heaven and earth.

"Rumble~" Streams of earthy-yellow light diffused; it was Li Yuan who had arrived. The Heaven and Earth River Domain shrouded a large area.

"Roar~"

"Roar~" Nine yellow dragons swam within the Heaven and Earth River, doing their utmost to block and weaken those incoming streams of Origin Force light.

But the nine yellow dragons only had the strength of the demigod threshold; blocking the attacks of hundreds of demigods was no different from trying to put out a cartload of burning firewood with a single cup of water.

Li Yuan's domain could likewise only slightly weaken these attacks.

If Li Yuan broke through to become a demigod and cultivated the "Heaven and Earth River" to the fourth-stage limit, then unleashed his domain, the situation would naturally be vastly different.

"Principal, let's retreat."

"Your Origin Force consumption is massive, and our strength is not yet enough to counterattack." Li Yuan transmitted his voice quickly: "If the Demon Civilization unleashes a few more secret treasures... you might not be able to block them."

"Moreover, there are still so many demigods of the Demon Civilization."

Fang Hai's eyes were filled with unwillingness.

But his heart also calmed down, knowing that what Li Yuan said made sense.

Compared to the Demon Civilization, their side had too few demigods, and he was the only pillar.

Only because of his breakthrough this time could he drive back the Demon Civilization's demigod army and allow the Seven Star Civilization to continue holding the star realm entrance... If he continued to pursue, he might kill a few more Demon demigods, but the danger to himself would also soar.

The closer he got to the Demon Civilization's star realm entrance, the more dangerous it became.

"Fine! Retreat." Fang Hai said in a low voice.

Li Yuan felt a sense of relief in his heart; what he feared most was Fang Hai continuing the pursuit in a fit of anger.

It was too dangerous.

Right now, Fang Hai could not afford any mistakes!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Fang Hai, Li Yuan, and Liu Bing immediately transformed into several streams of light and flew toward the rear.

"Attack."

"Attack Li Yuan!" The Demon Civilization demigods still attempted to attack Li Yuan, who was weaker... but they dared not engage in close-quarters combat, the distance was too far, and their flight speed was far inferior to Li Yuan and the others.

Therefore, after unleashing two more rounds of long-range Origin Force attacks, which were blocked by Fang Hai, these Demon demigods could only watch helplessly as Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and the others charged into the star realm passage and returned to the Flying Star.

"Retreat."

"The deities have ordered to retreat to Demon Mountain Star first."

"Retreat!" The Demon Civilization army retreated in a vast, surging manner. To prevent any accidents, they split into several teams, separated from each other by over ten miles.

However, no further accidents occurred.

On the Flying Star.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and Liu Bing flew out from the star realm passage.

"We're back."

"The Alliance Leader is back."

"Vice Alliance Leader Li is back too." A wave of excited voices rose up. Numerous Seven Star demigods gathered around, surrounding Fang Hai and Li Yuan in the center, all appearing excited.

Of course, they were mainly surrounding Fang Hai!

"Alliance Leader, you are too strong!"

"Invincible demigod! Another invincible demigod!"

All the demigods knew that the reason they could reverse the war situation today, and even slaughter so many Demon Civilization demigods, was 99% due to Fang Hai.

Many people's eyes were burning with fervor.

Too strong.

Demigods like Xue Long and Xue Bu, along with some of the older demigods, could not help but recall the scene from over a hundred years ago.

During the Battle of the Flying Star back then, it was also a time of life and death. When the entire civilization faced a desperate situation, Dongfang Ji took action, slaughtering the Demon Civilization to a crushing defeat and laying the foundation for the Seven Star Civilization.

Today, it was almost a reenactment of that scene.

"Everyone." Fang Hai raised his hand, and the void immediately went quiet. Everyone looked at Fang Hai.

If it were in the past, many older demigods would still have had doubts about Fang Hai; after all, Fang Hai was too young and had not been a demigod for many years.

And his path to becoming Vice Alliance Leader and Alliance Leader... was almost entirely pushed by Dongfang Ji from behind the scenes.

In the hearts of many demigods, after Alliance Leader Dongfang Ji fell, Demigod Lante was more qualified to serve as Alliance Leader, and even if it were eventually handed to Fang Hai, they should have waited at least ten more years.

But after today's battle, all the demigods of the Seven Star Civilization were thoroughly convinced.

Strength!

It is always powerful strength that convinces people.

"In today's battle, we fought with all our might to win, and three demigods died in battle." Fang Hai said in a low voice: "The Demon Civilization army has temporarily retreated... but we cannot be careless; we must continue to guard here for a period of time."

"Could it be that the Demon Civilization army still dares to counterattack?"

"With the Alliance Leader's strength, the Demon Civilization should give up on invading."

"In the past, the Demon Civilization only publicly had one peak demigod powerhouse. This time, two were exposed, but one was killed, and the other is likely severely wounded."

"The number of their demigods who died in battle is a full hundred, and among them, over thirty were peak demigod powerhouses."

"With such massive losses, does the Demon Civilization still dare to continue fighting?" Several demigods spoke up one after another.

In their view, the strength Fang Hai displayed was enough to make the Demon Civilization retreat.

"No!"

"In terms of true strength, I am still not as good as my teacher back then." Fang Hai said solemnly: "My teacher didn't have an Origin Force Array back then... that was what made the Demon Civilization terrified and made them dare not fight again."

"If the Origin Force Array is broken,"

"with hundreds of Demon demigods joining forces, with my true strength, it would be very difficult to win." Fang Hai shook his head; he had a clear understanding of his own strength.

Numerous Seven Star demigods began to ponder.

"Do we have to keep guarding like this? Until when?" Demigod Tian Huo could not help but ask.

"That won't be necessary." Fang Hai said: "At the shortest, two or three years; at the longest, about ten years, and it should be about enough."

In Fang Hai's estimation, in another two or three years, his own Origin Force would be cultivated to level 47, at which point his strength would truly be worthy of the title "invincible demigod."

And the so-called ten years,

was Fang Hai's vision that by then, Li Yuan should have broken through to become a demigod... With the progress speed Li Yuan had displayed, even if his law comprehension did not reach the Void God layer, his strength would likely be close to invincible demigod.

Only then could the Seven Star Civilization be called stable.

"Secondly,"

"the Demon Civilization only has so many demigods. If they keep gathering large groups of demigods to prepare for an attack... it's impossible for it to be airtight." Fang Hai said: "Once their demigod army disperses, we won't need to be so nervous."

Numerous demigods suddenly understood.

Suddenly.

Whoosh! A golden-haired elder's figure flashed by; it was Demigod Lante: "Everyone, for the safety of the entire civilization, let alone two or three years, even if it's ten or twenty years, we must guard here."

"Everyone rest for now."

"In a few days, once everyone's injuries have recovered, we will hold a victory banquet here." Demigod Lante said.

"Yes!" Numerous demigods nodded one after another, then dispersed.

None of them went far, each finding an area to meditate.

Only Fang Hai, Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Demigod Lante remained.

"Principal, congratulations." Li Yuan said: "Your saber technique level, if I sensed it correctly, should have reached the Void God layer."

"Void God layer?" Demigod Lante felt slightly surprised.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Fang Hai shook his head: "My law comprehension has just reached the seventh-stage high-tier level. In terms of true law realm, you should be the highest within the civilization... I won't hide it from you either; the reason I can unleash such powerful strength is because of this weapon in my hand."

"Weapon?" Li Yuan stared curiously at the battle saber in Fang Hai's hand.

During the battle just now, this battle saber revealed terrifying might, but now it was very restrained.

"It is an Origin Divine Weapon." Fang Hai said directly: "I brought it from the Nine Leaf World. As for its specific effects... once you go to explore the Nine Leaf World yourself, you will naturally understand."

"Mm." Li Yuan nodded, memorizing the four words "Origin Divine Weapon."

Demigod Lante, listening from the side, sighed inwardly.

He had not explored the Nine Leaf World, but he had explored the Nine Mountain World. Origin Divine Weapon? What kind of thing was that?

He had never heard of it.

However, for Demigod Lante, whether it was Fang Hai or Li Yuan, the stronger their strength, the better.

"Li Yuan." Demigod Lante looked at Li Yuan: "In the short term, the Demon Civilization army should not invade... You cannot rest now; I need you to step out."

"Rescue other planets?" A cold glint flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

"Correct!" Demigod Lante nodded: "From the major planets and even the Flying Star, distress messages have already been sent. Those three thousand Flying Heaven puppets of yours have played a huge role."

"But the Demon Civilization's invasion this time prepared too massive a force. Tens of thousands of Flying Heaven realm beings are simply throwing their lives away." Demigod Lante shook his head: "Even if the demigods on the major planets fight with their lives, with so many Flying Heaven realm beings invading simultaneously, there is no way to block them all."

"Up to now,"

"my Seven Star Civilization has already killed over ten thousand Flying Heaven alien races." Demigod Lante said solemnly: "But there are still thousands of Flying Heaven alien races that have snuck in... and it is foreseeable that more Flying Heaven alien races will kill their way in."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Any Tier-Three star realm would dispatch demigods to guard it... but many star realm entrances were large, stretching for hundreds of kilometers.

On normal days, there were numerous Flying Heaven martial artists patrolling and Origin Force arrays on alert.

Then, once a Flying Heaven invasion occurred, the guarding demigods could arrive within half a minute, which was enough to kill the invaders.

But now,

from one star realm passage, hundreds or thousands of Flying Heaven alien races were rushing out simultaneously... even if a demigod could kill dozens or hundreds of Flying Heaven realm beings in one move, as long as one-tenth of the Flying Heaven realm beings broke through the defensive line, the total number would be quite staggering.

"Fine."

"I will first rush back to Blue Star and kill my way into the Ten Thousand Cold Star Realm." Li Yuan said: "Little Bing will head to Heaven Sea Star, and then we will carry out a large-scale sweep."

Other demigods could only guard the Tier-Three star realm entrances.

But Li Yuan and Liu Bing could both directly kill their way into Tier-Three star realms... they could completely slaughter large batches of Flying Heaven alien races that hadn't had time to invade yet.

It was absolute invincibility!

There were very few demigods in Tier-Three star realms to begin with. Moreover, even if they encountered peak demigod powerhouses, with Li Yuan and Liu Bing's strength, they could fight them individually.

Peak demigod powerhouses?

How many peak demigod powerhouses did the entire Demon Civilization have? Li Yuan did not believe such super powerhouses could pop up in a Tier-Three star realm.

"Liu Bing, I'll trouble you." Demigod Lante also bowed to Liu Bing.

He knew very well that Liu Bing was a Heaven Snake and was destined to become a deity in the future... even if she was Li Yuan's spirit beast, he had to show respect.

Liu Bing nodded slightly, also enjoying this feeling of being respected by others.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After Li Yuan sent a message to Liu Bing, one person and one beast swiftly departed.

Inside another Cave Heaven magic treasure.

This Cave Heaven magic treasure was not as good as Li Yuan's Ancient God Palace, but it was also a top-grade Void God artifact, a harvest Fang Hai had gained in the Nine Leaf World.

Demigod Demigod Sanye sat cross-legged in the center of the palace hall, healing her injuries with a calm mind. Her previously severed arm had already recovered as before.

Whoosh!

A black-armored figure appeared out of thin air.

"Teacher Demigod Sanye." Fang Hai looked at Demigod Demigod Sanye, his mind somewhat dazed.

"Fang Hai, thank you." Demigod Demigod Sanye opened her eyes: "Back then, I was only following the Alliance Leader's orders to teach you for a period of time. You really don't have to keep calling me teacher."

Demigod Demigod Sanye' voice was very gentle.

"Fine, then I'll call you Demigod Sanye." Fang Hai revealed a faint smile: "Back then, when I encountered an assassination by an alien race, it was you who saved me. This time, it counts as repaying you."

Demigod Demigod Sanye was stunned for a moment.

"Fine."

"Demigod Sanye, continue to recuperate. I won't disturb you anymore. If you want to leave the Cave Heaven magic treasure, just send me a message." Fang Hai said, then vanished within the Cave Heaven.

Although the Seven Star Civilization had lost three demigods, the fact that they could hold their ground in this great battle made everyone excited and thrilled.

And on the Demon Civilization side, the atmosphere was completely different.

Demon Mountain Star.

"We lost." Deity Qiong Jin shook his head and sighed: "Back then it was Dongfang Ji, this time it's Fang Hai, and we've suffered so many deaths and injuries... This Seven Star Civilization has clearly only risen for a few hundred years, how could they give birth to so many monstrous existences?"

Deity Qiong Jin felt somewhat helpless.

He had lived for thousands of years and could be said to have traversed the mortal domain, having seen countless civilizations rise and fall.

But invincible demigod powerhouses? He had only seen two: one was Dongfang Ji, and the second was Fang Hai.

Even the Immortal Ruins Civilization, the Red Sun Civilization, and the Ten Thousand Clouds Civilization... in the last ten thousand years, he hadn't heard of any invincible demigods being born.

To be an invincible demigod, one must reach an extremely high level in all three aspects: law comprehension, star arts, and Origin Force cultivation, only then is there hope of being born.

"We haven't lost yet." Deity Dong Mo said in a low voice.

"Dong Mo, give it up." Deity Bei Yue looked at Deity Dong Mo: "With Fang Hai's strength, even if we gather more demigods, five hundred, six hundred... it will still be difficult to win."

"To deal with peak demigod powerhouses, one can rely on numbers."

"But to deal with an invincible demigod powerhouse... unless dozens of peak demigod powerhouses join forces, there is little hope." Deity Bei Yue said: "Even if Demigod Sha Kun returns, it will be difficult to win, and it might even cause Demigod Sha Kun to lose his life."

"I will not allow Sha Kun to participate in the battle." Deity Qiong Jin said in a low voice.

That was his most outstanding disciple, destined to become a Void God. Deity Qiong Jin naturally would not allow him to take such a huge risk.

Demigod Sha Kun, although his law comprehension had reached the Void God layer... his overall strength could not be called invincible demigod.

"Listen to me."

"Sha Kun's strength cannot be called invincible among demigods," the Eastern Demon Deity said coldly. "But you have all seen Fang Hai's performance in the Demon Mountain Star Realm; can he be called invincible among demigods?"

"Fang Hai's ability to possess such powerful combat strength relies solely on that Yuan Force Great Array left behind by Dongfang Ji."

"Once the Yuan Force Great Array is broken, with Sha Kun's strength, even if he cannot defeat Fang Hai, he can definitely pin him down," the Eastern Demon Deity said solemnly. "If our hundreds of demigods then launch a massive attack... the Seven Star Civilization will definitely not be able to stop it."

"But how do we break that Yuan Force Great Array?" the Qiong Jin Deity shook his head and said. "It's not like we haven't tried."

"Over a hundred demigods joined forces to attack, yet they couldn't blast the array open."

"To break the array, we must spend a great deal of time finding the foundation of the formation and then break it piece by piece," the Qiong Jin Deity said. "But will Fang Hai give us the time?"

"The risk is too great," the Qiong Jin Deity shook his head.

The Northern Moon Deity stopped speaking.

Although she had a better relationship with the Eastern Demon Deity, this matter was of great importance, and she would not easily support it.

"I never thought about breaking the array directly."

"The Seven Star Civilization can have a Yuan Force Great Array," a trace of determination appeared in the Eastern Demon Deity's eyes. "Can't we also deploy a Yuan Force Great Array? To counter an array with an array."

"Us? Deploy an array?" The Qiong Jin Deity was stunned. "Within our Ten Thousand Demon Civilization, do we have such a formation?"

"We don't, but that doesn't mean other civilizations don't." The Eastern Demon Deity looked at the two.

The Qiong Jin Deity seemed to understand something and said in shock, "Eastern Demon, are you talking about the Void Dry Yuan Array of the Immortal Ruins Civilization?"

"That is the town-clan battle formation of the Immortal Ruins Civilization."

"Would they be willing to lend it to us?"
