Chapter 391: Dongfang Ji's Strength (Supplementary Chapter)

"Teacher? How are you?" Fang Hai felt joy in his heart, and also some disbelief.

He clearly remembered watching his teacher enter the Nine Mountain World.

Secondly, his teacher's soul lamp went out, and those two peak demigod alien races that were originally controlled by his soul also regained their freedom. These were all facts, coupled with Elder Yun's categorical words.

Therefore, although Fang Hai felt grief in his heart, he believed it at the time.

And he took on the responsibility of "Alliance Leader."

And later, in the war of the Demon Civilization's invasion, demigods fell one after another, and his teacher did not appear again, so Fang Hai no longer held any hope.

Today, facing this terrifying "Heavenly Fire World Beast," Fang Hai fought with all his might but was still at a disadvantage, only able to barely block it by relying on the strangeness of his saber technique, and he would likely be defeated in a moment.

It could be said that Fang Hai was already in despair.

Previously, facing the invasion of hundreds of demigods, he broke through once in a state of madness, thinking he could guard the civilization, but the Demon Civilization mobilized even stronger power. What kind of despair was this.

In Fang Hai's heart, he was filled with guilt toward his "teacher" and guilt toward the entire civilization.

In his mind, even many scenes appeared, with countless lives on the planets of the civilization falling.

Fang Hai never expected that

at this most desperate moment, his teacher, who had already fallen, had appeared.

"Fang Hai, Master has always been alive, and has always been on the Flying Star, don't doubt it." Elder Yun's voice also suddenly rang in Fang Hai's mind: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have refused to acknowledge you as master all this time."

Fang Hai confirmed it without a doubt.

Swoosh!

He immediately withdrew and flew toward the rear, not worrying about Dongfang Ji at all.

Even though he already had near-Void God combat power, in Fang Hai's heart, his teacher Dongfang Ji was still invincible.

As long as his teacher was there, the entire civilization was unshakable.

"How could this be! How could the Demon Civilization have such a terrifying treasure."

"Such an Origin Force battle array, even the Immortal Ruins Civilization likely doesn't have many."

"If the Demon Civilization had it, why haven't we seen it used in the long passage of time?"

"Could it be a treasure they just obtained?" In the void below, the numerous demigods fleeing in madness were filled with anger and unwillingness in their hearts.

They hated!

Clearly Fang Hai had broken through, and with the array's amplification, he already possessed invincible demigod strength. Logically, it should have been as solid as a rock.

Why, then, did the civilization still have to suffer such a great catastrophe?

Suddenly.

"Look." A voice full of surprise rang out, and following that, everyone, including Li Yuan and Liu Bing, was stunned.

They all clearly sensed the aura of the white-robed figure that appeared in the void.

This aura was so familiar.

"Alliance Leader?" Li Yuan felt a jolt in his heart: "The Alliance Leader didn't die?"

"It's Alliance Leader Dongfang!"

"Alliance Leader Dongfang didn't die? And has always been on the Flying Star? Or just returned to the Flying Star?"

"We have hope!"

"My Seven Star Civilization is saved, we don't need to carry out the major migration plan anymore." This group of Seven Star demigods suddenly boiled over, their hearts filled with excitement.

At this moment, everyone involuntarily stopped their steps and looked up toward the high void.

They all believed that

with Dongfang Ji there, that seemingly powerful and peerless Heavenly Fire World Beast was definitely not his opponent.

This was not blind confidence.

But the supreme prestige brought by Dongfang Ji solving civilization crises time and time again over the past hundred years, and deterring alien civilizations from all sides.

Whether it was the former number one person of the civilization, Demigod Lante, or Fang Hai, who turned the tide not long ago... in the hearts of these demigods, they were all far inferior to Dongfang Ji.

"Dongfang Ji?" Liu Bing widened her eyes and looked at the figure in the void: "Big Brother, can he win? According to Senior Qiu's statement, that fifth-stage Origin Force battle array's strength is considered quite strong even among initial-stage Void Gods."

"He definitely can." Li Yuan said decisively.

Liu Bing didn't say anything more. She didn't have any worship for Dongfang Ji, but she could sense the change in Li Yuan's emotions.

Demon Civilization, Demon Mountain Star.

"They clashed."

"Sure enough, even with the Origin Force Array's assistance, Fang Hai is no match for the Heavenly Fire World Beast."

"We're going to win!"

"Fang Hai's saber technique is special, actually being able to entangle it for a short time. Logically, he only has Void God threshold strength, so he should have been defeated swiftly."

"He comprehended the Law of Water, which is naturally good at defending. Different laws have different directions of expertise, so it's not strange." The three deities of the Demon Civilization looked at the massive light screen not far away, communicating with each other, their moods very relaxed.

This battle was the same as they had envisioned. Once the fifth-stage Origin Force battle array came out, the Seven Star Civilization would have no power to resist.

Victory was right before their eyes.

"Who is that?" Deity Bei Yue suddenly pointed at the light screen and exclaimed: "Is that Dongfang Ji?"

"What? Dongfang Ji?" Deity Dong Mo's face changed.

"It seems to be!" Deity Qiong Jin's smile also stiffened. The three of them recognized Dongfang Ji in an instant.

Dongfang Ji did not change his appearance.

"Quick! Dong Mo, quickly let Sha Kun retreat." Deity Qiong Jin said anxiously: "Dongfang Ji didn't die, this is absolutely a trap."

Deity Qiong Jin was truly anxious.

Dongfang Ji, in his heart, was an existence that was absolutely invincible in the demigod stage and was truly capable of rivaling Void Gods.

"Don't be anxious."

"Let's watch a bit more." Deity Dong Mo's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness: "This time, perhaps it's also an opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Deity Qiong Jin was stunned.

"If Sha Kun hadn't broken through, even with the Origin Force battle array, he definitely wouldn't be Dongfang Ji's opponent." Deity Dong Mo said in a low voice: "But the might of the Origin Force battle array exceeded our imagination... Demigod Sha Kun leading the battle array has strength approaching mid-stage Void God."

"No matter how powerful Dongfang Ji is, he is still just a demigod."

"Even if he has mid-stage Void God strength, wanting to kill Demigod Sha Kun swiftly is difficult." Deity Dong Mo said: "Dongfang Ji is ultimately just a demigod, his strength has a limit."

Deity Qiong Jin hesitated.

The communication speed between deities was extremely fast.

"He took action." Deity Bei Yue exclaimed: "Dongfang Ji is going to take action."

On the Flying Star, within the Origin Force Array shrouded in endless golden light, Fang Hai retreated, and the Heavenly Fire World Beast did not pursue.

Because!

He also saw Dongfang Ji.

"Dongfang Ji?" Demigod Sha Kun led the battle array, staring fixedly at that white-robed phantom, filled with vigilance.

Just now, he operated the array and his perception diffused in all directions, yet he hadn't sensed the other side's existence at all.

This means were enough to make him vigilant.

Moreover, from Demigod Sha Kun's realm, he felt a fatal threat from that white-robed figure.

"Still alive? Or is it another demigod in disguise?" Demigod Sha Kun felt a sense of panic.

This white-robed figure, although he had the same appearance as Dongfang Ji,

but he, including the hundreds of demigods he led, had never truly seen Dongfang Ji, so they were not clear about Dongfang Ji's soul aura, and thus could not fully confirm his identity.

After all, the Demon Civilization demigods who had seen Dongfang Ji had all died.

The only demigod who had seen Dongfang Ji, Demigod Ye An, was still in the Demon Mountain Star Realm and hadn't come over.

"Are you Sha Kun?" Dongfang Ji looked down at the Heavenly Fire World Beast, his voice filled with an unquestionable dominance.

Demigod Sha Kun stopped talking; he felt a trace of panic.

"Sword technique can reach the Void God layer, there's no mistake." Dongfang Ji said lightly: "What a pity."

Whoosh!

A golden longsword appeared in Dongfang Ji's palm, and a layer of golden light rippled across the surface of the sword.

This streak of light appeared, as if it controlled the entire world. The entire heaven and earth dimmed slightly, and fear surged in the hearts of all the demigods present.

Even demigods like Xue Long and Xue Bu, knowing that this divine sword was not aimed at them, still involuntarily felt a trace of despair.

"This is?" Li Yuan held his breath, feeling a sense of stiffness in his soul.

If this sword were thrust out, he would definitely die.

"This is... Law Heaven and Earth! Sword not yet out, suppressing heaven and earth! How is this possible? How is this possible! How can a demigod do this!! This shouldn't be, how long has he been cultivating? What kind of monster is this?" Gu You's voice suddenly rang in Li Yuan's mind, filled with shock: "How is this possible!"

Law Heaven and Earth? Li Yuan felt slightly shocked.

According to what Li Yuan knew, the sixth-stage skill realm was condensing Heaven and Earth Intent, representing that the comprehension of heaven and earth mysteries had reached a certain height.

The seventh stage was crossing the threshold of laws, being able to sense the fluctuations of the Great Dao Origin in the void.

The eighth stage was condensing Law Will, which could project one's own will tens of thousands of miles away, and could sense vast spatial fluctuations, therefore most Void Gods would have some comprehension of spatial laws.

And going further up, it was the ninth stage—Law Heaven and Earth.

Using the law mysteries comprehended to form a heaven and earth of one's own. Every move unleashed could even sever the heaven and earth force drawn by the enemy.

If one could reach this level, it represented that the comprehension of a certain law Great Dao had reached an extremely high and profound level. Going further up was the legendary "Tenth Stage Grasping the Dao."

It was just that reaching the ninth stage "Law Heaven and Earth" was incomparably difficult.

According to the information in the inheritance crystal, even powerful True Gods had many who had not reached the "Law Heaven and Earth" level.

Could it be that the Alliance Leader's law comprehension had reached such a staggering level?

Those present,

except for Li Yuan and Fang Hai who had some sensing, the others were not clear about what the light on the divine sword represented.

"This is?" Demigod Sha Kun's pupils shrank, sensing the rapid changes in the heaven and earth around him. He recalled some records in the classics he had seen, and his heart trembled.

He just wanted to flee for his life,

but it was already too late!

Whoosh!

Dongfang Ji had already thrust out a sword, and a sword light rippling with golden light had streaked across the long sky, thrusting directly toward the Heavenly Fire World Beast.

This sword was too fast.

Even if Demigod Sha Kun fled at the first opportunity, it was still too late. The sword light was over a hundred kilometers away the previous second, and the next second it had already descended upon the head of the Heavenly Fire World Beast.

Under the invisible heaven and earth suppression, the Heavenly Fire World Beast only had time to let two arms wield swords to block.

"Bang~" "Bang~"

"Rip!"

In one clash, the Heavenly Fire World Beast's two arms shattered layer by layer, the divine swords in its hands were sent flying, and then the sword light had already pierced through the Heavenly Fire World Beast's thick, heavy fire-attribute Origin Force defensive layer.

The Origin Force battle array began to collapse with a rumble, the heaven and earth Origin Force dissipated, revealing a large number of incomparably terrified demigods inside.

And this sword light, after piercing through the Heavenly Fire World Beast, suddenly split into countless tiny sword lights, impacting onto those demigods one by one, and they were all strangled... even Demigod Sha Kun, whose strength was close to the Void God layer, was ruthlessly strangled by the residual sword light.

Finally, heaven and earth returned to silence.

That massive "Heavenly Fire World Beast" vanished into thin air, leaving only a large number of weapons and storage magic treasures suspended in the void.

"This?" Fang Hai, who had just retreated to the rear, was stunned. He trusted his teacher incomparably, but he didn't expect his teacher to kill the Heavenly Fire World Beast so easily.

He had clashed with the Heavenly Fire World Beast and was clear about the terrifying strength the other side possessed.

"One sword?"

"We won just like that?"

"Killed all the Demon Civilization's demigods?"

"The Alliance Leader!" The other demigods were also somewhat dazed. This scene was too shocking in their hearts.

That terrifying Origin Force battle array, which was peerless in their eyes and completely capable of destroying the seven major planets, was destroyed just like that?

"This?" Li Yuan also held his breath: "Could it be that the Alliance Leader's law comprehension truly reached the ninth-stage level?"

"Or is it that the Alliance Leader has already broken through to become a Void God?"

Except for these two situations, with Li Yuan's eye for detail, he couldn't think of other possibilities.

"How is this possible!" Liu Bing was also dazed, unable to help but look at Li Yuan: "Big Brother, is this the strength of your civilization's Alliance Leader? So strong?"

Liu Bing possessed inheritance memories, and her eye for detail was extremely high. Moreover, her own strength was not weak... Through the clash between Fang Hai and the Heavenly Fire World Beast, she could judge that the Heavenly Fire World Beast's strength was considered quite strong among initial-stage Void Gods.

This kind of strength!

Was actually destroyed by Dongfang Ji with one sword. What kind of terrifying strength was this?

"Mid-stage Void God?"

"No! It should have peak Void God strength." Liu Bing's mind flashed with numerous thoughts: "It's even possible it's stronger... Is this truly a demigod that can be born in the mortal domain?"

In the Divine Domain, even for monstrous demigods who awakened an Eight Star Pulse, unleashing peak Void God strength was quite difficult.

And the mortal domain?

What about the mortal domain?

The other side? And he didn't have such a powerful bloodline as her, just born in the mortal domain.

And according to Big Brother's meaning, the other side had only been cultivating for less than two hundred years.

Such a monster, if he went to the Divine Domain, what kind of level would he grow to?

Liu Bing didn't even dare to imagine.

"No wonder with Big Brother's talent and potential, he holds this Alliance Leader Dongfang in such high esteem." Liu Bing thought to herself.

In the void.

Whoosh!

Dongfang Ji waved his hand and collected the numerous treasures left behind by the hundreds of demigods after their deaths.

"Teacher." Fang Hai flew forward, excited and shocked, bowing respectfully.

This "newly appointed Seven Star Alliance Leader," who was resolute and decisive in the eyes of other demigods, now looked like a child, with even a hint of tears in his eyes.

"I have seen everything you have done, not bad." Dongfang Ji smiled.

Fang Hai nodded repeatedly. For him, his teacher's praise was his greatest achievement.

It was just that Fang Hai still had a belly full of doubts and couldn't help but say: "Teacher, you..."

"Don't be anxious, before I leave, I will tell you everything." Dongfang Ji smiled: "But since I've laid this trap, I must kill all the fleas that should be killed."

"Fleas that should be killed?" Fang Hai was stunned.

Whoosh!

Dongfang Ji took a step forward, his speed already soaring to an unimaginable level, making Fang Hai's eyelids jump.

"Teacher's speed should have exceeded 100 kilometers per second." Fang Hai felt a tremor.

This kind of speed, even for Void Gods, most couldn't reach.

Swoosh!

Dongfang Ji charged directly into the star realm passage.

"Could it be that there are other demigods of the Demon Civilization in the Demon Mountain Star Realm?" Fang Hai's mind flashed with numerous thoughts: "Or could it be that Teacher is going to kill his way directly into the Demon Civilization?"

The demigods of the Demon Mountain Civilization could kill their way over along the star realm passage... the Seven Star Civilization demigods could naturally kill their way over too.

But in the past, there had always been Demon Civilization deities guarding it, therefore, the Seven Star Civilization had never done this.

Dongfang Ji had also never killed his way over.

Today, witnessing his teacher's strength, Fang Hai couldn't help but make such a conjecture.

Demon Civilization, Demon Mountain Star, above the massive star realm passage.

Because the demigods responsible for transmitting messages had all died, those few massive light screens had all stopped completely, and the images no longer changed.

The three deities looked at the light screens, all in a daze, and there was even a trace of terror in their eyes.

"Was it really Dongfang Ji?"

"According to the information transmitted back, Dongfang Ji is still a demigod."

"A demigod, capable of destroying an Origin Force battle array in one move? What kind of strength is this? Mid-stage Void God? Or peak Void God?"

"How long has Dongfang Ji been cultivating? How could his strength be so terrifying?" Deity Dong Mo, Deity Qiong Jin, and Deity Bei Yue all felt a sense of terror in their hearts.

This kind of strength was too strong.

They had previously been wary of Dongfang Ji because they sensed that Dongfang Ji was suspected of having condensed "Law Will," and his strength should have reached the initial Void God stage.

Therefore, Deity Dong Mo had never invaded.

The so-called invincible demigod realm was only strength reaching the Void God threshold, representing the strength of a newly promoted Void God.

"In one sword, if he truly has peak Void God strength, what level is his law comprehension?" Deity Bei Yue's voice carried a trace of trembling: "Could it be that his law comprehension has already reached the eighth-stage perfection?"

"How did he cultivate? He's also not even two hundred years old!"

The three deities were indeed frightened. This kind of strength had completely exceeded their cognition.

"Dongfang Ji has killed his way into the Demon Mountain Star Realm."

"Those hundred-plus demigods didn't have time to flee. Some were killed, some were suppressed and killed." Deity Dong Mo said bitterly: "All finished."

The moment the Heavenly Fire World Beast died in battle, Deity Dong Mo had already ordered the numerous demigods in the Demon Mountain Star Realm to retreat quickly.

As a result, it was still too late.

Or rather,

with Dongfang Ji's flight speed, once he took action, it was impossible for those hundred-plus demigods to escape.

After a few seconds of silence,

"Bastard!"

"This is a trap, a trap!!" Deity Qiong Jin suddenly let out an angry roar: "His target was Sha Kun, Dongfang Ji's target was my disciple Sha Kun!!"

Deity Dong Mo and Deity Bei Yue looked at each other without speaking.

As of now,

they all understood that this war, from the moment the so-called "Dongfang Ji has fallen" message was transmitted until now, was absolutely a trap and killing game laid by Dongfang Ji.

The target was likely Demigod Sha Kun.

"Logically, with the strength Dongfang Ji displayed, there was no need to care about Sha Kun." Deity Dong Mo said in a low voice: "Could it be that he is truly preparing to leave the Seven Star Civilization, so before leaving..."

"Stop your 'could it be's, put away your deductions. Now that the demigods in the civilization have lost more than half, even if Dongfang Ji isn't there, so what? Can you do anything to the remaining Fang Hai?" Deity Qiong Jin said angrily: "You idiot, it's all because of your judgment that my disciple lost his life, and the entire civilization's demigods have lost more than half!!"

Deity Qiong Jin's heart was bleeding.

His only disciple who had hope of becoming a god had just died like this.

In the remaining less than a thousand years of his lifespan, he had no certainty of cultivating another deity.

"Qiong Jin." Deity Dong Mo was also angry: "I didn't want to see this scene either. My losses are also great. The Eight Directions Fire World Array... its value is comparable to a True God artifact, and the treasures mortgaged to the Immortal Ruins Civilization were all paid by me."

This time, in terms of treasure loss, Deity Dong Mo's was the greatest.

But he knew he was in the wrong and understood that all the war plans were proposed by him, so he didn't say anything at first.

"Can treasures compare to my disciple's life?" Deity Qiong Jin said angrily.

"Stop arguing, you two." Deity Bei Yue said coldly: "Think about how to deal with Dongfang Ji."

"With this kind of strength, once he kills his way over along the star realm passage, I can't block him alone."

"At that time, if he breaks through to become a Void God within my Demon Civilization, his strength will soar even more. What should we do?" Deity Bei Yue said.

The two deities quieted down.

What Deity Bei Yue said was exactly what they were most worried about and afraid of.

Normally, external deities could not descend into a dimensional plane.

But there was also an exception, and that was entering other dimensional planes while a demigod, then breaking through to become a god... then, even if rejected by the origin of other planes, they would not be directly expelled.

Dongfang Ji was so terrifying in the demigod stage.

Once he broke into the Demon Civilization, broke through to become a Void God there, and then hid to cultivate for a period of time, raising his Origin Force cultivation and star arts to another level... even Deity Dong Mo, who had the strongest strength, would have no certainty of surviving when facing him.

The three deities of the Demon Civilization.

Deity Bei Yue and Deity Qiong Jin were mid-stage Void Gods, and only Deity Dong Mo was a peak Void God powerhouse.

"From today on,"

"Bei Yue." Deity Dong Mo said in a low voice: "I will also guard the Demon Mountain Star. With the Origin Force Array's suppression and amplification, even if he truly has peak Void God strength, he won't be able to rush out."

Deity Bei Yue nodded.

She had guarded here for a long time in the past and was not worried at all because there was an Origin Force Array, but she was not afraid of peak Void God powerhouses.

Now, with Deity Dong Mo added, guarding would be even easier. Even if Dongfang Ji truly had peak Void God strength, they could suppress him.

"I now hope he breaks through to become a god sooner." Deity Qiong Jin said in a low voice: "As long as he doesn't become a god, he is the greatest threat to us and to the Demon Civilization."

"From today on, I will also guard here to ensure nothing goes wrong."

The three deities of the Demon Civilization made the same decision at this moment—to guard the Demon Mountain Star together.

Flying Star, outside the star realm passage.

Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and a large group of demigods were waiting calmly outside the star realm passage.

Only Demigod Lante was still presiding over the array and had not come out.

Suddenly, a stream of light came from the star realm passage and arrived in front of the crowd in a flash.

"Teacher." Fang Hai stepped forward excitedly, bowing respectfully.

"Alliance Leader." Li Yuan's face was also full of joy.

"Alliance Leader."

"Alliance Leader." Demigod Xue Long and the others also stepped forward to bow respectfully one after another, their hearts filled with excitement and joy.

Although Fang Hai was serving as Alliance Leader,

everyone still subconsciously called Dongfang Ji "Alliance Leader" when they saw him.

"Teacher, how was it?" Fang Hai couldn't help but ask.

"The hundred-plus demigods left by the Demon Civilization in the Demon Mountain Star Realm have all been purged." Dongfang Ji said very calmly.

Numerous demigods felt a tremor in their hearts.

A hundred-plus demigods? How much time had passed, and they had all been killed by the Alliance Leader?

But thinking of Dongfang Ji's strength, everyone felt relieved.

Even if Dongfang Ji said he had slaughtered the deities of the Demon Civilization, everyone wouldn't have felt too surprised.

"In this Flying Star battle, I have been observing in the dark." Dongfang Ji's gaze swept over one figure after another: "I have seen everything you have done, and you have all done very well."

Always on the Flying Star?

Many demigods had thoughts arise.

"Alliance Leader, please forgive my offense." Demigod Tian Huo couldn't help but ask: "Since you have always been here, why didn't you take action to save Demigod Qinghe and the others when they fell?"

Others quieted down, and even Fang Hai couldn't help but look at his teacher.

This was exactly the point Fang Hai felt hesitant about after knowing Dongfang Ji had always been on the Flying Star.

If not for his own breakthrough, blocking the Demon Civilization's first wave of invasion, Demigod Three Leaves would have definitely died that day.

Teacher, why didn't you take action then?

"Because of Sha Kun."

"If I had taken action early, today, would Sha Kun of the Demon Civilization have led so many demigods to come?" Dongfang Ji shook his head: "My goal in laying the trap was Sha Kun."

"He has Void God-layer comprehension, and is still a demigod."

"If I weren't here, in this Flying Star battle, could you have blocked it?" Dongfang Ji's gaze swept over everyone.

(Added after the main text was published, not counted in the paid word count)

ps: This major plot segment has basically ended. The next chapter will thoroughly explain the reason for Dongfang Ji's layout. I'll say a few words here.

This major plot segment from Chapter 373 to Chapter 390, Dongfang Ji's fake death was set in the outline long ago, not changed temporarily. It's just that I didn't want everyone to guess it from the beginning, so I only wrote some small foreshadowing and deliberately didn't write about Dongfang Ji's perspective as in previous chapters to point it out directly.

Secondly, I read many comments. The biggest point of controversy in the previous chapters was that brothers felt "with Li Yuan's current strength, such a big crisis coming suddenly was too abrupt." The essential reason is that when I planned this plot, I didn't intend for Li Yuan to turn the tide. After finishing this chapter, I believe everyone will understand that it's not that the plot is abrupt, but that the true protagonists of this plot are Fang Hai and Dongfang Ji, and Li Yuan is only a participant.

That's all, thank you brothers for your support.
