Chapter 695 - 694: The Strategy of Heavenly X Divine Domain
Looking at everything before him, Li Jing remained calm.
It was clear that this wave of countless Combat Angels was being used as sacrificial lambs, creating a situation that unsurprisingly leaned heavily in one direction.
Above the battlefield.
Changes were happening in a blink of an eye.
Because the spatial rift Li Jing opened was big enough, tens of millions of warriors from the God Clan and a million vanguard troops from the Supreme God Clan quickly completed the spatial traversal.
Naturally, the situation on the battlefield became sheer domination.
At the beginning of the collision.
The Combat Angels, having absolute superiority in numbers, could at least cause some damage to the warriors of the God Clan and Supreme God Clan, even occasionally taking out one in a suicidal attack.
However, as the two "allied forces" joined the fight, the numerical advantage of the Combat Angels no longer stood out, they were left to become finds for the reapers.
In the meanwhile.
The elite forces of the God Clan and Supreme God Clan played a significantly decisive role.
Every Main God with a divine status, once making a move, caused swathes of Combat Angels to fall like wheat under a scythe, a countless number of angels fell from the sky.
In fact.
If it weren’t for the ceaseless waves of Combat Angels charging over from the distance, the collision would have already ended.
Looking at the endless supply of Combat Angels, seemingly dispensed without a care for cost, and the joint forces of the two clans unable to finish them off even after a frenzied slaughter, Li Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.
If it were ordinary high-rank Alien Species to kill, he would have been itching to join the fight.
However, at this moment.
He had no intention of getting involved.
There was a simple reason.
Even though the health bars of the Combat Angels were on the corresponding level of their respective realms, their Essence Source was less than average.
Li Jing was already not too interested in the Essence Source that the Eleven and Twelve Realms could provide.
As of now, the Combat Angels charging at them from all directions have Essence Source levels even lower than those of the typical Eleven and Twelve Realms by one or even two levels.
The Essence Source that Twelve Realm should have, probably at the level of the normal Tenth Realm.
Seldom was there one that could match up to the Eleventh Realm.
To him, these were no more than measly mosquito legs.
The only commendable thing was the boundless number of Combat Angels.
If he made a move now, the sum of a great many small pieces of Essence Source might relatively give him a substantial intake.
But to think that he could level up through this, would still be unreasonable.
The problem at hand was.
Even with the two clans’ Ancestor Gods with divine status entering the battlefield and reaping wildly, the Combat Angels still ceaselessly continued charging forward, seemingly impossible to completely finish off.
Continuing like this was certainly not an option.
There seems to be something off about the Divine Domain of Heaven.
It was as if there were an infinite number of Combat Angels in this world.
In just a blink of an eye.
The entire land was completely bathed in blood, with mountains of angel corpses piling up.
There clearly seemed to be something wrong.
Was it... necessary for him to step in?
Just as he was thinking this, Abigail and Athena appeared side by side, hovering in the sky next to Li Jing.
Both of them glanced at the chaotic battle around them and the mountains of corpses and sea of blood on the ground. Abigail appeared a bit serious.
"Athena, is this the worst-case scenario you mentioned in the information you gave me about the Eight Divine Domains?"
"Yes."
Athena nodded, and said,
"The Divine Domain of Heaven’s preparations are much more thorough than we initially thought, they are trying to establish a link with Hell’s gate and summon the judges through a blood sacrifice of infinite lives."
?
Upon hearing their conversation, Li Jing was confused.
He naturally knew what hell corresponded to the Divine Domain of Heaven referred to as paradise.
So, what are these judges?
Clearly, someone hadn’t done their "homework" about the Divine Domain of Heaven, Athena quietly said,
"You might not be familiar with the concept of judges. You should know about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse mentioned in the Bible?"
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
Li Jing raised his eyebrows, gradually understanding the ideas going on in the Divine Domain of Heaven, who didn’t even have a proper Main God emerging to fight.
They planned to sacrifice these valueless Combat Angels to summon four types of top-tier forces not belonging to the Divine Domain of Heaven, to deliver the first heavy blow to the Allied forces of the two clans.
And this plan involved another Divine Domain.
Hell.
That’s right.
The Hell that corresponds to the angelic Divine Domain, known as Heaven, is an independent Divine Domain within the same system.
But it is not gods who inhabit it, but devils who strike fear into people in the Western World.
Heaven and Hell are connected, but not friendly to each other.
Li Jing understood this once he became the Watcher of the Nebula World and gained information about the Nine Great Divine Fields.
Moreover, in reality,
when he previously took advantage of the situation and had Abigail target the angelic Divine Domain first, his main aim was to solve the two most problematic Divine Fields within the Nine Great Divine Fields.
Strictly speaking, the angelic Divine Field of Heaven and Hell are independently existent.
However, they coexist.
When Heaven is destroyed, Hell would also be affected.
If Hell no longer exists, Heaven can hardly avoid suffering a heavy blow.
There was no information about the original conditions of these two major Divine Fields in the information that Star Cloud Heavenly Path gave to Li Jing.
But Li Jing guessed beforehand.
These two Divine Domains might have started by sharing one world, and took the chance to separate when a certain opportunity came.
So, it’s no surprise that Heaven and Hell would unite for Li Jing.
He just didn’t expect that the two Divine Domains, which are antagonistic to each other, would unite so straightforwardly. The angelic Divine Domain even established a countermeasure to link with each other from the very beginning.
Without much thought, Li Jing asked.
"Are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse strong?"
"The Judge positioned between Heaven and Hell is a third-party force and is undoubtedly powerful."
Athena replied, saying.
"But we from the Hix Well God’s Clans aren’t very clear about the specifics since we haven’t had direct contact. Presumably, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are no weaker than the top-tier Ancestor God. The trickier part is their Judge Authority. Based on the limited information, it is not difficult to judge that the plague, war, famine, and death they each represent are vastly different from the usual God Power, directly connected to the apocalypse."
Li Jing frowned slightly at these words.
The rest was nothing.
After hearing so much from Athena, he was still somewhat confused.
But the strength of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse shouldn’t be questioned.
If these four were not strong, the angelic Divine Field would not have gone to such lengths to summon them.
Judge Authority.
After coming to contact with the Judgment Fire, Li Jing also got a rough idea.
The power associated with the element of judgment is indeed more powerful than ordinary God Power under specific circumstances.
Looking at the combat angels who are being killed relentlessly but still keep coming, Li Jing said.
"The other side is well prepared, and the arrival of the Judge is probably inevitable, get ready. Just as we agreed beforehand, this battle mainly depends on whether you two can handle it."
After speaking, Li Jing gently called out.
"Qingfeng."
"Yes."
Spirit Weapon Qingfeng appeared at his side with a sword in hand.
"Keep an eye on her, don’t let her die."
Li Jing casually pointed at Athena and walked away.
Athena and Abigail were somewhat stunned.
Li Jing was testing them, which they understood.
But they didn’t expect him to just leave.
After glancing at each other, their gazes fell on Spirit Weapon Qingfeng, whose exterior was a cold-faced handsome man holding his own body.
Facing their gaze, Qingfeng closed his eyes and murmured.
"Stop looking at me. I won’t take action unless it’s necessary."
Athena blinked and nodded, saying.
"This battle... Thank you for protecting me, Mr. Qingfeng."
As a Main God,
Athena was quite conscious of her situation.
She knew very well,
in a typical God’s battle, she might be the forefront of combat power.
But on the battlefield across Divine Fields, she is nothing...
It’s the Ancestor Gods who are the main force.
Abigail, on the other hand, regretted losing a top-tier combat power when she saw Spirit Weapon Qingfeng’s attitude.
It is quite evident that this young man, like Wuming and the others, is one of Li Jing’s spirit weapons. She has witnessed their power in the Supreme God Domain, killing Ancestor Gods like slaughtering chickens.
Without any real capability,
one couldn’t last more than two rounds in front of Wuming and the others.
Even those with real skills.
Couldn’t struggle for long...
As she was lamenting, Athena looked over.
"Abigail, we might need you to step in and resolve the current situation now. We can’t keep this up. We haven’t even established a frontline base yet, and we’re still to face the coalition of Heaven and Hell, not to mention dealing with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. We need to conserve our strength."
As she said this, Athena added.
"We should avoid causing bloodshed and leaving bodies behind as that will not just accelerate the connection between heaven and hell, but it may also trigger the early arrival of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. With our current military strength, there’s no doubt we wouldn’t be able to handle things all at once. Firstly, we need to establish a sufficiently secure position so the reinforcements from the Supreme God Domain can descend."
Abigail and Athena are currently in a "competition for favor".
But in terms of war, their goals align.
They have no choice.
Li Jing has different demands for both of them.
For Athena.
He wants her to deliver results.
For Abigail.
He wants her to achieve impressive military merits with fewer sacrifices from the Supreme God Clan.
Both understand this.
In a time like this, nothing good could come from playing "palace intrigue".
Through a brief understanding of Athena beforehand, Abigail understands even more now.
This woman, under the empowerment of the Wisdom God Power, has a much sharper mind than her own, plus she has the power of war. In large-scale warfare, she would certainly outshine her.
Therefore, upon hearing Athena’s words, Abigail has decided to entrust command authority to her.
Nodding her agreement, Abigail floats ahead, standing in the higher air, and raises her bare hand to blow out a wisp of black fog.
The power of death was activated.
The small wisp of black fog that Abigail blew out quickly spread like a plague in the sky, and soon the land was affected too.
Anything that came into contact with the black fog.
Whether it was the combat angels or those who had been "settled" in heaven after the so-called redemption, they instantly turned into corpses, falling or collapsing, and then their bodies turned into sand and scattered.
The two sides’ fight came to an abrupt end.
Abigail easily killed all the living creatures within the nearby area, except the Supreme God Clan and X Clan.
But would things be that simple?
Obviously not.
"Wow!"
An ear-piercing horn sounded in the distant sky.
The sky darkened, and hailstones red as blood fell from the sky like a vicious storm.
"Wow!"
Another horn resounded in the distance.
Nearby, an ocean began to change drastically.
"Wow!"
Again, the horn sounded.
Upon seeing these various anomalies, Abigail, looking serious, withdrew to Athena’s side.
"Is this...the horn of the apocalypse?"
Without saying a word, Athena nods, her face unspeakably ugly.
Upon receiving a confirmative response, Abigail murmured strangely.
"Is the enemy gone mad? We hadn’t even had a direct confrontation yet, and they were calling upon the apocalypse to destroy their world first?"
"I’m afraid it’s not that simple. There’s no reason for them to be foolish to such an extent."
Athena spoke softly.
Just as she was about to say something else.
"Wow!"
The fourth horn sound rang out.
In a flash.
The sky seemed to be invaded by some unknown force and "boom" was punctured into void space.
Simultaneously.
The blazing sun high in the sky was also punctured, missing a third of its body.
Immediately afterwards.
The fifth horn resounded.
"Wow!"
The sixth horn sounded.
A strange sense of death suddenly arose between heaven and earth.
A portion of the two-clan alliance standing high in the sky suddenly, without any signs, fell dead, turning into one corpse after another and plummeting down.
This odd situation colored everyone’s faces in horror.
However, the situation.
It seemed impossible to change.
Even if they used God Power to protect themselves immediately, someone still died for no reason. Even the strong creatures of the Thirteen Realms couldn’t avoid the arrival of death, only a part of the Main Gods who had a divine position were safe.
The only thing to be thankful for is.
The extinction didn’t come indiscriminately.
Only a small portion of people died inexplicably, while the rest were unscathed.
"Woo!"
The horn soon sounded for the seventh time.
This time, no mutation occurred.
But in the distant sky, a earth-shaking yell of "Kill!" came.
In the midst of darkness.
One could see angels, one after another, shrouded in holy light, charging rapidly.
This wave of angels.
Their numbers were not much exaggerated.
But they were clearly not as simple as the previous combat angels who were sent to their deaths.
Even at a distance.
They put considerable pressure on the allied forces of the two clans.
Indistinctly.
The allied forces of the two clans even got a sense.
As if the opponent was invincible and the scales of victory completely tipped towards them.
In fact.
After the apocalypse horn sounded seven times.
The rules of the Divine Domain of Heaven X did change subtly.
The Main Gods and above could have a clear perception.
The opponent...
Not only had they lost the concept of death, but they also gained the blessing of "victory."
Faced with this sensation, Abigail looked pale.
She.
Was the Ancestor God of Death.
The loss of the concept of death was equivalent to leaving her completely powerless.
The addition of the concept of victory directly determined the outcome of the upcoming confrontation.
Having lived through endless years and waged war on countless divine domains, Abigail felt powerless for the first time.
In the information that Athena had provided her beforehand.
The apocalypse horn of Heaven X Divine Domain was mentioned.
But she hadn’t expected it to be this outrageous.
Not to mention Abigail.
Athena had also never expected that the Apocalypse Horn could do this.
Although the price was almost the destruction of Heaven X Divine Domain, this was too much of a cheat!
Faced with the current situation, Athena drew her sword resolutely.
"Clang!"
"All units, order to withdraw and tighten the defense line!"
The allied forces of the two clans were very decisive. Upon hearing Athena’s order, all units gathered promptly and a defense line was quickly established.
At the same time.
The charging angels arrived.
The collision was imminent.
The angels, who had lost the concept of death, were reckless, completely exchanging life for life, still determined to hit the enemy even if their heads were cut off and bodies were torn apart.
After a hit, they quickly recovered.
Limb regrowth, head restoration.
Facing such ridiculous opponents, the alliance forces of God Clan X and the Supreme God Clan couldn’t help but be on the defensive.
There were numerous casualties among the weaker fighters of God Clan X.
The Supreme God Clan also suffered continuous losses.
Further away.
More angels were rushing to the battle.
And among their ranks, angels with six or even eight wings appeared.
Six and eight wings respectively corresponded to the ranks of Middle Gods and Superior Gods in Heaven X Divine Domain...
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Abigail turned to ask.
"Athena! Do you have a strategy?"
"Yes, but it takes time to prepare."
Athena replied, her face looking grim.
"I’m afraid we won’t have enough time."
