Chapter 1404

For ordinary gods, the allure of battle merits was even greater.

But for the Lords of Law, the allure was not so strong.

Yet on the Continent of Gods, only four Lords of Law still retained their own kingdoms!

But besides these four, several other Lords of Law had also joined this battle.

These Lords of Law had all been instructed by the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Ocean to take part in battle.

A Supreme God, no matter how exalted, would surely have forces at hand in the Heavenly Realm capable of being summoned at any moment.

Once the battle among the Lords of Law erupted, the entire conflict grew even fiercer.

A Demon Lord disbelieved the rumors and attempted to exterminate a group of Heavenly Realm gods to prove the incompetence of the former Dor Demon Lord.

But unexpectedly, that group of Heavenly Realm gods collectively summoned flames that nearly killed the Demon Lord.

After this, Demon Lords no longer casually attacked ordinary Heavenly Realm gods.

Although the Abyssal Supreme Gods wished them to drain the Flame Lord's power and thus had to fight, as cunning Abyssal Demon Lords, how could they fully follow the Supreme Gods' orders?

Yet while they avoided ordinary Heavenly Realm gods, those very gods began targeting them.

The incident where those dozen or so Heavenly Realm gods had wounded a Demon Lord had not gone unnoticed by other Heavenly Realm gods.

Merely wounding one Demon Lord had propelled those dozen or so Heavenly Realm gods onto the Battle Merit List.

Thus, some Heavenly Realm gods gathered together and, while the Demon Lords fought the Heavenly Realm's Lords of Law, collectively borrowed power to ambush the Demon Lords!

Demon Lords were still immensely powerful Demon Lords.

And borrowed power was still borrowed power.

Even though the flames Lin Yan summoned were unique and contained vast amounts of Law, Lin Yan had not invested his will into them; under the Demon Lords' guard, though they posed a grave threat, killing them remained difficult.

Yet even if they couldn't be killed, they terrified the Demon Lords immensely.

Thus, on this vast battlefield, a strange scene emerged.

Some mighty Demon Lords were being chased by groups of weak Heavenly Realm gods!

These Demon Lords even had to thank the Heavenly Realm's Lords of Law for not borrowing power from Lin Yan.

The Battle Merit Stone held limited appeal for Lords of Law; their own strength was formidable, and they would never borrow power from Lin Yan unless absolutely desperate.

Of course, some Heavenly Realm gods also suffered setbacks.

After all, they were facing opponents at the level of Lords of Law.

One Demon Lord, after being relentlessly hunted by several waves of Heavenly Realm gods, flew into a rage and turned back during a moment when those gods believed it was fleeing in disarray, swatting them apart with a single blow.

But after this lesson, the Heavenly Realm gods became far more cautious.

"Roar, these ants!"

More than ten days later, a Demon Lord who had just been chased desperately by flames roared.

By now, this war had lasted over a month and a half.

The Demon Lords had been fighting for half a month already!

But soon, the Abyssal Demon Lords realized that after their own Demon Lords joined the battle, the Abyss's situation not only failed to improve—it grew even more dire!

Even the lives of the Demon Lords themselves had become unbearable!

The number of Heavenly Realm gods was no less than that of the Abyssal Demon Lords, and even slightly greater.

These Heavenly Realm gods acted as if drugged with stimulants, frequently gathering in groups of a dozen or more, sometimes dozens, to collectively borrow power and ambush Demon Lords.

In just half a month, they succeeded once—during a fierce battle between a Demon Lord and a Lord of Law, they unleashed flames that directly burned the Demon Lord to death while it was distracted!

This was the first Demon Lord to perish on this battlefield!

The death of this Demon Lord caused massive shockwaves!

The group of Heavenly Realm gods who killed it all surged into the top one hundred on the Battle Merit List.

This greatly inspired other Heavenly Realm gods.

After the war had dragged on so long, some Heavenly Realm gods who had signed temporary pacts with Lin Yan and prepaid their realm's devotional power suddenly discovered that even though their devotional power was only 10%, the amount they could collect had not decreased at all!

Not only had it not decreased—it had increased!

This discovery filled these Heavenly Realm gods with ecstatic joy!

Had it not been for the pact's constraints forbidding them from revealing any of this information, they would have laughed three times.

After discovering that their devotional power had not diminished, some Heavenly Realm gods began prepaying massive amounts of devotional power to borrow strength and fight, to earn battle merits!

Some Heavenly Realm gods even prepaid devotional power worth hundreds of thousands of years!

One even more ruthless one prepaid devotional power worth over a million years!

Thus, these past half months had been an extraordinarily frenzied period for these Heavenly Realm gods!

Flames continuously erupted across the Stone Fortress battlefield, and Abyssal Demon Lords kept falling.

In a short time, the number of fallen Abyssal Demon Lords had already exceeded one-third!

For the Abyss, this was a tremendous loss.

And the most frustrated were undoubtedly the Demon Lords.

The battle merits for killing a Demon Lord were so generous that countless Heavenly Realm gods had set their sights on them.

Killing a Demon Lord equivalent in power to a Lord of Law—regardless of other rewards—the sense of accomplishment alone was overwhelming.

Even though they were using Lin Yan's power!

Of course, many Heavenly Realm gods also suffered setbacks; Demon Lords were not easy to deal with.

Had it not been for the distraction of the Heavenly Realm's Lords of Law, even more Heavenly Realm gods would have failed.

Yet these Heavenly Realm gods, each as frenzied as if drugged, still drove the Demon Lords to despair.

In countless wars between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm over countless years, this was the most infuriating one for the Demon Lords!

"Kesuo'er, are you still not moving? We've drained so much of the Flame Lord's power—if you don't act now, we won't be able to win."

A demonic god lord roared at Kesor.

Kesor snorted coldly, preparing to speak, when his expression suddenly shifted.

At the same time, a terrifyingly potent aura surged through the passage of the Dark Abyss Prison.

This aura made the entire Dark Abyss Prison tremble — clearly, it was a power utterly incompatible with the Dark Abyss Prison!

The Abyssal Primordial God has finally stirred!
