Chapter 1396

The defense array has finally shattered completely!

With the defense array broken, attacks from the Heavenly Realm gods surged out of Stone Fortress like a tidal wave, rushing toward the Abyssal Demon Gods.

This was a strike long nurtured by the Heavenly Realm gods!

In an instant, countless weaker Abyssal Demon Gods were knocked down!

Many Abyssal Demon Gods perished outright without even time to react!

"Kill!"

A third-tier Heavenly Realm god softly uttered a command, brandished a long sword, and soared into the sky, launching a terrifying attack.

Numerous Heavenly Realm gods employed their own methods, filling the sky above Stone Fortress with divine assaults.

The Divine War had officially begun!

At the endless heights, Lin Yan still sat motionless upon the Wang Zuo.

The wills of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Ocean also remained suspended nearby.

Stone Fortress was too vast.

As a result, the Divine War quickly shifted from a simple offensive-defensive clash into a chaotic free-for-all among the gods.

Everywhere in the sky above Stone Fortress, gods were fighting.

The Goddess of the Ocean had already left the Goddess of Life's divine realm.

At this moment, in the dark starry void, an unknown evil god was creeping toward the direction of the Heavenly Realm.

Every great war between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm was also a time for countless evil gods and foreign deities to act.

This great war affected too vast a range.

From the Continent of Gods to the Heavenly Realm.

If evil gods didn't seize this opportunity, they weren't truly evil gods.

"Tsk tsk, how lively! If I can just devour ten more gods this time, I'll advance further."

That evil god emitted an eerie, chilling laugh.

But before he could finish laughing, a single drop of water suddenly appeared above his head—and the evil god remained utterly unaware.

The next instant, the water drop fell, and before the evil god could react, it was trapped inside the drop; the next moment, the evil god vanished entirely, becoming part of the water drop.

The water drop leapt into the starry void and disappeared from here, heading toward another direction.

That water drop was naturally the Goddess of the Ocean acting!

Countless evil gods hid within the dark starry void; although their hiding spots weren't necessarily within the dark starry region now being illuminated, better safe than sorry.

If even one evil god had passed through that dark starry region and was later captured by another main god, that region now being illuminated might be exposed.

For main gods, extracting the information they wanted from a weak evil god was ridiculously easy.

After this evil god was destroyed by the Goddess of the Ocean, she learned much information during the process of its annihilation.

Thus, for the sake of caution, the Goddess of the Ocean took the initiative to intercept evil gods approaching from the depths of the dark starry void.

To the Heavenly Realm, evil gods posed a threat to the safety of ordinary gods.

From the perspective of main gods, the Heavenly Realm was immensely prosperous; the threat of evil gods wasn't even a threat.

After all, truly powerful evil gods had already been nearly exterminated by the Heavenly Realm's main gods eons ago.

Now, the number of evil gods approaching main god status was no longer numerous.

In past wars between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm, main gods never cared about evil gods.

But this time, after the Goddess of the Ocean acted, it was an utter catastrophe for evil gods hoping to come and reap benefits.

After the Divine War in the Heavenly Realm officially began, as if by unspoken agreement, the rate at which Abyssal creatures poured out from the Continent of Gods surged several-fold!

Only then did the people of the Continent of Gods realize that the Abyssal creatures' previous attacks had merely been a warm-up.

Now was the real meal!

Thus, Heavenly Realm gods once again borrowed vast amounts of power from Lin Yan to defend their own realms.

On the Continent of Gods, the frequency of flame blooms kept accelerating.

From the world's highest point, gazing downward, flame flowers bloomed everywhere across the entire Continent of Gods.

Now, nearly half the people on the Continent of Gods knew that a great Flame Lord, far surpassing their gods, had descended flames to annihilate demons.

The name "Flame Lord" began spreading widely across the Continent of Gods.

The gods of the other two fortresses regretted it bitterly!

Because they were stationed in fortresses guarded by other main gods' wills, they couldn't borrow power from Lin Yan at all, causing their realms to suffer especially heavy losses!

Some weaker gods had even lost their realms entirely!

But now it was too late to regret, for the Abyssal Demon Gods' offensive had officially begun.

Fortunately, the number of Abyssal Demon Gods at those two fortresses was smaller—combined, they were fewer than those at Stone Fortress—and they hadn't even broken through the defense arrays yet.

The battle at Stone Fortress was, without doubt, more intense than the combined battles at the other two fortresses!

The sky was filled with fighting gods.

The demon hordes continued to assault the Holy Spirit Line.

The Holy Spirit Line was on the verge of collapse.

It was inevitable.

Once the Holy Spirit Line collapsed and the demon hordes stormed into the fortress, they would still cause considerable trouble.

A single divine strike could destroy countless demons.

But the problem was, the demon hordes were too numerous.

Even if one god could kill a million or ten million demons with one strike, countless more millions waited behind them to be killed.

Divine power, after all, was ultimately a form of depletion.

In a divine war, every fraction of strength is precious.

Sometimes, even if only a fraction of strength is lost, that very fraction may well decide the victor of an entire divine war!

After the divine war at Boulder Fortress had lasted only half a day, gods below the Fourth Tier had all joined the battle.

On the first day of fighting, the gods on both sides were relatively cautious; the gods of the Celestial Realm coordinated with one another, using all manner of long-range attacks to keep the Abyssal Demon Gods from getting close.

But by the second day, the fighting began to grow fierce.

By the third day, with the war of a single Fourth-Tier god, the intensity of the battle rose another notch.

At the same time, the Holy Spirit defensive line also began to crumble, with only the Holy Spirits of some powerful gods still firmly holding certain areas.

An overwhelming tide of demon armies, fearless of death, flew into the sky, attempting to join the gods' battlefield.

"Seeking death."

High in the air, a Second-Tier god gave a light snort and slapped down with one palm, smashing to death countless demons.

With his strength, swatting these demons to death was no different from swatting ants.

Swatting ants—whether one or a whole swarm—was all just a matter of one slap.

"Your Day of Death has come."

Suddenly, a bat-like Demon God appeared out of nowhere; with a single beat of its wings, it shot forth violently.

The Second-Tier god's face changed; channeling divine power, he pulled back to gain distance while using the weapon in his hand to block that Abyssal Demon God.

Not engaging the Abyssal Demon God in close combat—that was common sense.

Even some Abyssal Demon Gods with bizarre abilities that did not rely primarily on their divine bodies for combat still possessed extremely formidable divine bodies.

"Clang!"

With a tremendous crash, the Second-Tier Celestial Realm god's weapon struck the Abyssal Demon God's body; the Abyssal Demon God grinned ferociously, dodging nothing, evading nothing, and simply charged straight through.

"Third Tier!"

That Celestial Realm god's face changed drastically.

A Third-Tier Demon God—even if he brought out every trick he had, he absolutely could not withstand it!

This Celestial Realm god's face turned deathly pale.

But as a god, he had not yet lost his composure.

Because, he still had one last resort!

Seeing that the Abyssal Demon God was about to smash through every one of his attacks and reach him, this Celestial Realm god's lips moved in incantation, and then he suddenly opened his mouth and spat.

"Boom!"

A stream of flames was violently spat out by this Celestial Realm god.

The flames of a Second-Tier god—this Abyssal Demon God did not take them seriously at all.

But the moment it came into contact with these flames, this Abyssal Demon God regretted it.
