Chapter 1392: The Blooming Flame! The Divine War Begins!

"Boom—!"

In the Wildlands Province, between the Central and Northern Provinces of the Flame Empire, millions of demonic beasts surged forward, racing toward a single direction.

There, the earth had cracked open; from a vast fissure, countless abyssal creatures were crawling out.

"Awooo!"

A wolf's howl rang out.

The white she-wolf queen stood atop a mountain peak, howling to the sky.

On her back, a young girl dressed in vivid red robes, Jian, held a leaf and blew a strange melody.

As she played, the overwhelming horde of demonic beasts accelerated, charging toward the abyssal creatures climbing up.

"Boom—!"

The ground trembled.

Before the abyssal creatures could react, they were overrun and crushed into pulp by countless demonic beasts.

In the Flame Empire, abyssal creatures had grown increasingly numerous, but thanks to preparations made long ago by Meng Ying and the fox girl Sister Qing Ling, any abyssal creatures emerging from underground—even those secretly building spatial gates—were swiftly detected the moment their numbers swelled, causing negligible damage.

Moreover, the Flame Empire now had numerous crossbow production lines; every city bristled with powerful crossbows, so even if a city came under attack and airships couldn't arrive in time, it didn't matter.

With crossbows combined with explosive flame, they could hold out until reinforcements arrived—and even win the battle outright.

Lin Yan's Holy Maidens were stationed across the empire, striking out when needed.

Though elite demons had ascended to the Heavenly Realm, occasional Demon Lords still appeared among the invaders assaulting the Continent of the Gods; but these Demon Lords were heavily suppressed, vulnerable to legendary laws, and utterly powerless against Meng Ying and her companions.

In the Elf Empire, things were relatively calm.

The two Elf Empires occupied unique positions and had not been directly involved.

Yet all elves—including the fallen elves of the Dark Forest—were on guard against other possible enemies.

These enemies were the dark creatures that might surge forth from the fissures within the Dark Forest!

But so far, the Dark Forest had shown no major signs of activity.

It seemed the Dark Abyss Prison might not intend to join this war.

Perhaps it had other plans—or was brewing something.

Compared to the Flame Empire, the other nations of the Continent of the Gods fared far worse.

Especially those nations belonging to the ordinary first, second, and third tiers, lacking a Sacred Domain to defend them!

On the Continent of the Gods, these nations were not large.

But their numbers were immense, dense as stars in the sky!

A small kingdom typically had only ten to twenty million people; among them, only a few hundred thousand to a million could be armed—unlike the abyssal creatures, who turned every last one into soldiers.

Many small kingdoms suffered devastating blows, Devastating Casualties.

The gods of the Heavenly Realm grew frantic, but the abyssal creatures were too numerous; even if they poured down their power at any cost, they could only decide the outcome of one or two battles.

The abyssal creatures' assault on the Continent of the Gods was unlike the War of Faith.

In the War of Faith, battles often ended with both sides lining up for a final, decisive clash, giving the gods ample room to act.

But the abyssal creatures attacked from all directions, chaotically, everywhere.

The gods had far less room to maneuver—because even if you won ten battles, as long as you didn't eradicate every last abyssal creature, your nation would still suffer catastrophic losses!

Moreover, these gods would soon face war in the Heavenly Realm and could not endlessly pour down their power!

Yet three days ago, one god discovered he could borrow power from the Lord of Flame on the Continent of the Gods!

This discovery led the god to prepay 90% of his nation's faith for three centuries, borrowing terrifying flames from the Lord of Flame to burn every abyssal creature in his realm to ash.

As word of this discovery spread, gods from nations suffering heavy losses in the Heavenly Realm rushed to imitate him, borrowing power from the Lord of Flame!

The war between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm occurs once every ten thousand years; as long as you survived and preserved your nation, even prepaying thousands of years of faith was worth it!

From this day forward, flames blazed everywhere across the Continent of the Gods!

In a small kingdom with only ten million people, abyssal creatures surged from all directions toward one of its cities.
