Chapter 1627: Blood War, Holy Seat

Time passed by without notice, and another six days went by in the blink of an eye.

During these six days, Li Zhangsheng frequently led the various Emperors, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, and others to patrol near the world barrier of the Fairy World, deterring many powerful existences such as gods, demons, and devils.

It was fortunate that these powerful beings did not belong to the same faction, and even within the same faction, they were harmonious on the surface but at odds at heart, harboring many sordid secrets behind each other's backs; otherwise, if they had united, Li Zhangsheng feared he would not have been able to hold them off.

Even so, there were always some forces secretly contacting others, wanting to jointly carve up the Fairy World, but there simply hadn't been enough time, and there was no unified intent.

However, it was also on this day that many forces secretly watching the Fairy World had to shift their gaze away, because a matter of life-and-death importance to them was occurring.

Taking advantage of the fact that many major powers had their eyes focused on the Fairy World, under the maneuvering of the Succubus Queen, the Endless Abyss launched the Blood War ahead of schedule, assembling dozens of Demon Monarchs to seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and occupy the Steel Fortress built by the devils on the Wanmen Plain, not only driving the devils back but pushing the war into the plains of Avernus, the first layer of Baator Hell.

The Blood War had been going on for countless years, but in the last few centuries, this endless war had entered a tense state of truce; after all, due to the civil war in the Nine Hells and the constant power struggles between Abyssal Lords, the cost of casualties in the Blood War seemed too high.

Precisely because of this, as the lord of the first layer of Baator Hell, the Five-Colored Dragon Queen Tiamat was caught off guard; crucially, her attention was mainly focused on the Fairy World, not to mention that Tiamat was also missing a divine avatar.

Thus, in just one day, the demons occupied part of Avernus, beating Tiamat's forces into a steady retreat and forcing her to seek reinforcements from the lords of the other eight layers of Hell as well as large forces from the Main Material Plane.

Organized and premeditated devils and cunning, selfish demons can be said to be the best representatives of lawful evil and chaotic evil; due to their opposing alignments, demons and devils are absolute mortal enemies, engaging in an unceasing Blood War between Baator Hell and the Endless Abyss, and this protracted, brutal war could even affect major planes.

Looking at overall strength, the Endless Abyss far exceeds Baator Hell, but due to the selfish, chaotic, and foolish nature of demons, in previous years, the demons had not held much of an advantage.

Compared to demons, devils are clearly more united and take the initiative to guide external forces to jointly resist the demon army.

Due to the strength of the Endless Abyss, many forces take the initiative to send reinforcements to support Baator Hell.

In the past, the Fairy World would occasionally have Emperors lead teams to provide support, but now, don't even think about it for the time being; at the very least, one must wait until the Fairy World finishes its promotion, and besides, Li Zhangsheng has other ways to deal with the Abyss, so there is no need to participate in the meat grinder that is the Blood War.

After the plan succeeded, the Demon Monarchs were in high spirits, and more and more Demon Monarchs and lords began to actively join in, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

Consequently, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Baator Hell.

Although the lords of the other eight layers of Hell went to support them immediately, facing the high-morale demon army, they still inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position.

The demon army continued to capture cities and seize territory, and it looked like they were about to completely occupy Avernus.

At this critical juncture, the devils had to take measures, inducing various forces to join the ranks of those resisting the demon army.

This also forced most forces to shift their gaze from the Fairy World to the Blood War; almost all forces did not want the Endless Abyss to occupy Baator Hell, or for Baator Hell to be severely damaged, as this did not serve their interests.

There was no other way; the Endless Abyss was too powerful. Once Baator Hell was gone to resist it, the consequences would be unimaginable. As it was a matter of survival, the Medium Thousand World currently in the midst of promotion became relatively less important.

Li Zhangsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still did not let his guard down; unless the Fairy World completed its promotion, he would continue to patrol and deter the various forces.

Time flowed slowly, and soon it was time for the Fairy World to complete its promotion.

During this period, the Demon Monarchs and lords in the Endless Abyss also cooperated sincerely for a rare moment, directly causing the devils and the Coalition Army to retreat steadily; except for the base camp of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen Tiamat, the demons had almost completely occupied Avernus.

After so many years of the Blood War, this could be said to be a rare advantage for the Endless Abyss.

It was just that as time passed, more and more forces began to support Baator Hell, which would inevitably erase the gap between the two sides.

Once the situation was blocked, the chaotic and foolish demons would often reignite conflicts due to interests, and eventually, they might fall back into a state of fighting on their own, which is the main reason why the demons have never succeeded.

On this day, the Fairy World finally successfully promoted to a Medium Thousand World.

In this short promotion time, the area of the Fairy World had grown more than four times over; if compared to before it merged with the three Small Thousand Worlds, it was likely ten times larger.

This was still just the initial entry into a Medium Thousand World; there is a huge gap between the initial entry and the peak of a Medium Thousand World, and even if not ten times, seven or eight times the area was certainly there.

As the existence with the greatest Authority in the Fairy World, Li Zhangsheng could clearly feel that the rules of the Fairy World had completed a further leap, and the number of rules was also increasing rapidly.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng had a peculiar feeling, like a Giant who had touched the ceiling, only for the ceiling to be raised significantly.

It was not just him; the other Emperors were the same, which meant they could go a step further.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Kings also changed; not only did its area suddenly become larger, but another layer of steps extended out, and the Emperor Thrones that were originally at the end of the steps fell to the level below.

On this newly appeared layer of steps, there was one and only one throne radiating misty purple Qi; just by taking a look at it, it gave one a feeling of endless mystery, as well as endless Pressure.

This seat is called the Holy Seat; as long as one can sit on the Holy Seat, one is called a Saint.

Compared to an Emperor, a Saint is truly immortal and indestructible, completely without the need to experience the so-called Five Decays of Heaven and Man, and even the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth poses no danger of falling; even if the Fairy World were destroyed, a Saint might suffer damage, but would still remain immortal, which can be called true transcendence.

In addition to the Holy Seat, the number of Emperor Thrones also increased significantly.

Among them, the Emperor Thrones increased from nine to 27, which is three times as many as before.

There is no need to mention the King Thrones; there was no limit on the number of these to begin with, but with the promotion of heaven and earth, wild Spirit Beasts and Demon Pets also became beneficiaries, the concentration of energy in heaven and earth increased significantly, and the bottlenecks in cultivation realms loosened, which is equivalent to a significant increase in the success rate of breakthroughs.

Additionally, with the promotion of heaven and earth, wild Spirit Beasts and Demon Pets also gained many benefits.

Among them, the Demon Pets of Li Zhangsheng and his wife were also in this group.
