Chapter 1390

The Goddess of Light's attack was too fast.

In the current Heavenly Realm's chasm, the laws of the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm clashed, causing spatial chaos; under conditions where non-law lords could not open spatial passages, light-based attacks were nearly the fastest.

The Demon God Dagun knew he couldn't dodge—he roared and summoned all his strength to block it!

"Boom!"

The Goddess of Light's attack struck it; the Heavenly Realm deities of Stone Fortress saw Dagun flipped over by the attack, roaring as he crashed into the demon army, countless demons suffering as a result!

"This must be the Goddess of Light, newly ascended to the fourth tier of the Flame Lord's pantheon—already possessing such power after just ascending, the Flame Lord truly cannot be underestimated!"

Seeing this, some deity in Stone Fortress couldn't help but think.

"Roar, advance!"

From within the demon army, the battered Demon God Dagun rose and roared.

"Worthless!"

On the other side of the Heavenly Realm's chasm, Kesor's gaze brimmed with endless coldness.

The next instant, all Abyss demons surged wildly toward Stone Fortress!

"Stand your ground!"

From within Stone Fortress, Venerable Tianlan issued a cold voice.

In Stone Fortress now, excluding the main deities' wills, Venerable Tianlan was the strongest among all deities.

Combined with Lin Yan's physical form descending, Venerable Tianlan was the universally recognized commander.

At Venerable Tianlan's command, countless Holy Spirits within Stone Fortress moved.

The Abyss sent demons forward as cannon fodder to die; the Heavenly Realm deities naturally wouldn't waste their own power killing the endless demons.

These demons could be handled by the Holy Spirits alone!

Outside Stone Fortress, the great battle began!

The Holy Spirits formed layer upon layer of defenses, engaging in fierce combat with the Abyss demons!

Within Stone Fortress, numerous deities hovered above, watching the war below.

Endless Abyss demons stretched a battle line over a hundred million li long; before them, the Holy Spirits were far fewer in number, their defenses only a few layers deep.

But the Holy Spirits had all been enhanced by the deities, and under their resistance, the demon army was continuously slaughtered!

Countless demons died every second!

Yet neither the Heavenly Realm deities of Stone Fortress nor the Abyss demon gods across the chasm made any further moves.

Even Demon God Dagun remained at the center of the Heavenly Realm's chasm, continuously exerting power to influence the demon army below, making these demons charge like frenzied beasts, heedless of death toward Stone Fortress!

At the highest point among all deities, Lin Yan's Wang Zuo loomed, its aura of authority calming many deities as they felt Lin Yan's majesty.

Beside Lin Yan's Wang Zuo, the wills of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Ocean also hung high.

They did not speak to Lin Yan, but gazed calmly upon the war below.

In the other two fortresses, war had also begun.

This battle now belonged to the Holy Spirits and the Abyss demons; only when the Abyss demons had been slain in sufficient numbers would the Abyss demon gods move.

Only then would this area become the most suitable battlefield for the Abyss demon gods.

This was the Abyss's method of war in the Heavenly Realm.

This was not their home ground, but they could reshape this battlefield!

The Heavenly Realm deities had no better strategy—attacking across the Heavenly Realm's chasm now was less effective than holding firm within Stone Fortress.

Yet the deities of the other two fortresses envied the deities of Stone Fortress immensely.

First, Lin Yan had descended in his physical form.

Then Lin Yan had promised to lend power.

When this reached the other two fortresses, countless deities regretted not coming to Stone Fortress!

But regret came too late.

Those two fortresses were too far away, sealed off by the power of other main deities; even if Lin Yan wished to lend them power, the temporary pact would be disrupted and could not extend across.

Unless Lin Yan now truly tore off the mask and forcibly broke the interference.

But that would be tantamount to declaring war simultaneously on several other main deities—unnecessary!

Stone Fortress gathered over half of the Heavenly Realm's deities—enough.

In Stone Fortress, the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Ocean would not obstruct Lin Yan.

As the massive war outside Stone Fortress began, the nations of the Continent of Gods simultaneously suffered Abyss invasions.

Vast numbers of Abyss creatures crawled up from beneath the earth.

Countless more poured out from secret portals long since built, surging wildly toward the nations of the Continent of Gods.

Though these Abyss creatures were suppressed by the Continent of Gods' laws, their power here was less than half their full strength.

But do not forget—the Abyss creatures' bodies were extremely strong; even suppressed, they remained stronger than humans.

More terrifyingly, Abyss creatures possessed strong immunity to many magics of the Continent of Gods; only specialized or high-power spells were effective against them.

Some Abyss demons were even more terrifying.

Even though the demons who reached the Continent of Gods were mostly low- and lower-tier, they were still fearsome on the Continent of Gods.

Physical attacks proved more effective against them.

Or prayers to divine power.

On the Continent of Gods, the large-scale invasion by Abyss creatures plunged the entire land into widespread war at once!

Some smaller nations could no longer hold out, and could only pray for divine power.

Thus, though the Heavenly Realm deities had not yet acted, on the Continent of Gods, Heavenly Realm deities were already repeatedly descending power to aid their own nations in defeating the Abyss creatures.

In the Flame Empire, within a dense forest, space suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterward, a vast number of abyssal creatures emerged.

The abyssal creatures had secretly built a spatial gate here.

The Flame Empire was simply too large; even with countless flying warships patrolling the skies, there were still blind spots!

This spatial gate was not small.

In just a short time, millions of abyssal creatures emerged.

Among these abyssal creatures, demons were few, accounting for less than ten percent, since most demons had been sent To the Heavenly Realm.

"Ahead lies a Dacheng, with a large human population!"

Under the night sky, a demon flapped its wings and flew over.

Hearing the demon's words, the multitude of abyssal creatures stirred, their battle lust rising.

"It's been so long since I last ate a human—I miss that feeling. Let's take it!"

A burly demon roared.

Countless abyssal creatures moved.

Millions of abyssal creatures poured out of the forest like a flood, surging toward the city with over a million people!

This was a medium-sized city within the Flame Empire!

"Woooonn~~~"

As the abyssal creatures burst from the forest, they heard deafening alarm horns coming from the city dozens of kilometers away!

"We've been spotted!"

The burly demon paid no mind, ordering the abyssal creatures to press forward.

So what if we've been spotted?

From that spatial gate, abyssal creatures continued to pour out endlessly.

They cared nothing for nations or tactics—only killing every human they encountered, devouring them as food, and destroying every human city!

Anything not an abyssal creature was their enemy!

"Hurry, hurry, prepare for war!"

At this moment, the city's defenders had already sprung into action.

Though this city had only a little over a million people, the Flame Empire had long activated its reserve forces, and the number of combat-ready troops now exceeded three hundred thousand.

These soldiers moved with remarkable speed.

Soon, the city walls were packed with countless soldiers.

Far off, the abyssal creatures formed a black carpet spreading across the night.

"Kill them all!"

The demon leader roared, spreading his wings and soaring into the sky.
