Chapter 357: Demon Fall - Heaven's Blood Cries
...
In the Unknown Star Domain, within the Holy Dragon Continent, a dilapidated Fifth Rank Peak Floating Shield hovered in the depths of the celestial canopy. A gigantic spatial wormhole, with a diameter of several hundred thousand meters, had just formed, already merging with the Floating Core of the Holy Dragon Continent. The indigenous Demon Deities on this Floating Land, having already gained a trace of Omnipotent Power, were the first to notice this anomaly.
Above the Floating Shield, the Origin Law surged, and countless Rule Arms, formed from the power of the unknown, lashed out with overwhelming energy.
Though they didn't understand the reason behind the formation of this gigantic spatial passage, their instincts told them that they couldn't ignore the existence of this spatial gateway, or else the entire Holy Dragon Continent would face an unprecedented calamity.
This was clearly not what they wanted to see. As they had already assimilated a part of the Floating Core, becoming a manifestation of the Holy Dragon Continent's Origin Will, the destruction of the continent would affect them first and foremost.
As the Laws surged, the fragile Void accelerated its shattering.
However, when these Rule Arms, each tens of thousands of meters long, made contact with the spatial wormhole passage, the terrifying energy they carried seemed to encounter its nemesis, not even a ripple of disturbance was left behind.
Within the wormhole passage, a cold hum echoed.
"Thinking of assimilating the Floating Core Law and still daring to act against us? Your thoughts are too beautiful!"
The speaker was Song Wujiang. The coordinates given by Song Chi earlier were not this location, right next to the Floating Shield, but a spot in the starry sky beyond the Spatial Fracture Zone.
The reason the wormhole's exit point was here was that Song Wujiang, based on Song Chi's directions, had intentionally advanced the exit coordinates to this deep spot within the Spatial Fracture Zone, right next to the Holy Dragon Continent's Floating Shield.
Why was he so bold?
The primary reason was his certainty that these indigenous Demon Deities, having assimilated the Floating Core, couldn't significantly affect the outside world. Additionally, he had absolute confidence in the spatial wormhole.
If the spatial passage created by the Seventh Rank Golden Holy Domain component could be destroyed so easily, it wouldn't be worthy of its name.
As for why he chose this exit point right next to the Floating Shield, the reason was simple.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Song Chi had easily navigated the cob alt number through the Spatial Fracture Zone. The danger of this extreme region, spanning thousands of kilometers, couldn't be overlooked.
The cob alt number had multiple spatial resistances amplified, along with a powerful defense system consisting of a silver-quality Energy Shield and a red hull armor. If it were any other cruiser, the chances of sinking in this zone wouldn't be lower than 50%. And if it were one of the ordinary starships of the clan, the sinking probability would be over 99%.
This arrangement was also made to facilitate the subsequent entry of the clan's ordinary starships into the Holy Dragon Continent for various development purposes.
Soon after the fearless ship appeared, two more battleships and dozens of deer hunt vessels emerged from the wormhole, followed by three menacing mobile battle stars.
Since the wormhole's exit point was not far from the Holy Dragon Continent's Floating Shield, those Demon Deities, due to their own limitations, couldn't take action against it. But don't forget that there were also numerous Fifth Rank Dragon Knights on this continent.
If these indigenous beings were allowed to break out of the continent and wreak havoc on the wormhole, they could still cause significant damage to the wormhole passage. These three mobile battle stars were deployed to prevent such a scenario.
Although the basic mobile battle stars were only designed to counter Fourth Rank units, it was due to their own agility. In fact, both their firepower and defensive capabilities far exceeded the Fourth Rank. Even against several Fifth Rank giant dragons, these three mobile battle stars could hold their ground for a while, waiting for reinforcements from the higher-ups of the Song family.
After everything was arranged, Song Wujiang issued the order to advance. The fearless ship, with a length of ten kilometers, took the lead, passing through a massive rift in the Floating Shield and entering the interior of the Holy Dragon Continent.
As the warship entered the Holy Dragon Continent, those so-called Demon Deities could finally take action. However, their cherished Half Sixth Rank power seemed pale and feeble before the silver Energy Shield, enhanced to the Seventh Rank. After a few ripples, there was no further response.
Watching the changes in the Energy Shield's value on his ship, Song Wujiang's calm face remained expressionless. Compared to the numerous crises he had faced over the past three thousand years, the current intensity of the attack was merely commonplace and didn't warrant excessive concern.
However, he didn't rush to counterattack, or rather, he couldn't retaliate.
These indigenous Demon Deities had assimilated themselves into the Floating Will, becoming intangible and formless, making them difficult to kill. Even causing them harm was a challenging task if one didn't know their secrets.
But this problem was naturally no match for the Song family. As a thousand-year-old aristocratic family among the top advanced civilizations in the Starsea, the Song family's information database was beyond the imagination of ordinary civilizations.
The Flame Human Civilization had been passed down for over thirty thousand years, with a citizen base of trillions of Flame Humans. In their exploration of the Star Domains, they had encountered countless civilizations, including those based on Divine Faith.
In the official records released by the Flame Human Civilization, there was a clear account stating that to kill the Faith Lords of these Divine Faith civilizations, one must first find the artifacts they use to collect and utilize Faith Power, and then perform reverse positioning to accurately and swiftly locate their spiritual bodies for a decisive strike.
In the command room of the fearless ship, Song Wujiang held a particular object in his hand—the Nightmare Fang, the very same odd artifact that Song Chi had obtained earlier, which was a part of the Nightmare Tome, the sacred object of the Nightmare Cult.
If an ordinary Flame Captain had obtained this broken pendant, they wouldn't have been able to deduce the location of the Nightmare Demon God's spiritual body. But Song Wujiang was different. As a Sixth Rank Starsea life form, his position was inherently superior to these so-called Demon Deities. With this pendant, he could easily locate the Nightmare Demon God, but he chose not to.
This Nightmare Demon God was just one of the weaker groups among the numerous Demon Deities in the Holy Dragon Continent. If they were to alert the other Demon Deities by targeting this one, it would make collecting the artifacts of the other Demon Deities infinitely more difficult.
The Song family's plan was simple: collect all the artifacts related to the Demon Deities in the Holy Dragon Continent, and then initiate a full-scale hunt.
Behind them, as the Fearless Ship charged into the Holy Dragon Continent, a group of battleships and Deer Hunt Vessels followed closely.
Among them, two battleships and Deer Hunt Vessels equipped with Fifth Rank and even Sixth Rank defensive components were positioned on both sides, protecting the Deer Hunt Vessel with only Fourth Rank defensive components in the center.
With a Half-Sixth Rank attack, a Fifth Rank Energy Shield could still hold on, but if it were only a Fourth Rank Energy Shield or Hull Armor, it would definitely be difficult to withstand, and they could only rely on the support of other clan members.
As all the warships entered the Holy Dragon Continent, the various creatures on the continent below also noticed this anomaly, as it was a fleet composed of dozens of warships over three kilometers in size, making it hard to ignore.
In the eyes of the indigenous creatures, dozens of Flame Torch warships descended rapidly, dividing into three fleets. The Fearless Ship acted alone, while the battleship Purple Moon Eternal Song and the Fifth Rank battleship from the Ancestral Vein led a fleet each, splitting into three routes and descending upon different regions of the Holy Dragon Continent.
Song Wujiang's ship descended into a kingdom adjacent to the Black Soil Kingdom. He secretly obtained detailed information about the various Demon God sects on the continent from the Black Soil Kingdom, which would greatly reduce their intelligence-gathering time.
As the Song family fleet's actions were not concealed, the chaos on the Holy Dragon Continent intensified. The three fleets successively launched attacks on several countries on the continent.
To cover their tracks, after eliminating the peak power of each country, the fleet would brazenly loot the nation. During this looting process, the artifacts of the Divine Church would naturally be taken away.
With this cover, the Demon God churches were indeed not alerted and only believed that these foreign creatures from the sky were there to harvest the resources of the Holy Dragon Continent.
However, as the number of countries destroyed by the Song family increased, the powerful empires on the continent finally felt threatened and could not allow the Song family fleet to continue their rampage.
After more than two months, the Song family's three fleets had destroyed over twelve countries, and they had secretly collected nearly twenty Demon Sacred Artifacts, excluding those that belonged to their own faction. These artifacts were enough to help them subsequently locate fourteen indigenous Demon Gods.
However, this was not enough. According to the information collected by the Black Soil Kingdom, there were at least thirty Demon God churches on the Holy Dragon Continent, and they had not even reached half of that number.
Before the Song family fleet could continue their attacks on other nations, a United Knight Army, formed by several empires and dozens of kingdoms on the continent, took the initiative to confront them.
It must be said that this United Knight Army was very powerful, with nearly twenty Fifth Rank Dragon Knights, dozens of Fourth Rank Dragon Knights, hundreds of ordinary Fourth Rank Sky Knights, and the support of the Holy Dragon Continent's Floating Core Law. Even five or more battleships would not dare to confront them directly.
However, they made one mistake—the Song family fleet had a Fearless Ship.
Moreover, it was a Fearless Ship that had passed through the Floating Shield unscathed and reached the interior of the Floating Land.
A Dragon Whale Illusion, formed by Master Level Spatial Law, emerged and instantly suppressed most of the knights on the ground.
"Old Ancestor, keep these Fourth Rank and Fifth Rank Dragon Knights. We need high-rank enslaved beings for the clan!"
Before Song Wujiang could make his move, an elder spoke up in the warship communication group chat.
There was no other way; high-rank beings were not easily obtained. Even with the Song family's heritage, it was difficult for every elder's warship to have a Fifth Rank enslaved being.
These nearly twenty Fifth Rank Dragon Knights, if captured, would greatly enhance the Song family's strength in the upcoming kingdom expansion wars.
...
Two months later, with the annihilation of the previous United Knight Army, the resistance on the Holy Dragon Continent reached its lowest point, and the Song family fleet continued their attacks without restraint.
In these two months, they had destroyed dozens of principalities, nearly ten kingdoms, and one empire, and had almost collected all the artifacts of the Demon God churches.
At this point, as more and more church Sacred Artifacts were lost, the indigenous Demon Gods finally realized what was happening. They tried to retrieve all the artifacts that were exposed, but it was already too late.
Two days later, in the northwestern region of the Holy Dragon Continent.
A mournful wail reverberated through the sky, and the entire northwestern sky was shrouded in red clouds. The indigenous creatures of the northwest land instinctively walked out of their houses, gazing blankly at the blood-red canopy.
Soon, the entire northwestern land was drenched in blood rain, and the whole region was enveloped in blood.
The indigenous creatures were still bewildered by this phenomenon, not understanding what was happening. However, the reactions of those with high status were the opposite, as fear rose in their hearts.
These creatures understood the reason for this celestial anomaly.
A Demon God had fallen, and Heaven's Blood Cries.
As natives of the Holy Dragon Continent, the Divine Beings suspended in the sky were equivalent to the four super empires of the Flame Human Civilization. Imagine if one of these super empires, considered the pillar of civilization, were to collapse before their very eyes; the momentary shock would be unimaginable.
Indeed, the blood rain that fell from the sky was caused by the Song family fleet using a Demon Sacred Artifact to locate an indigenous Demon God and then striking it down when it was not paying attention.
Thus, an indigenous Demon God, whose presence on the Holy Dragon Continent was unknown, was completely annihilated.
However, the Song family was unmoved by this.
Everyone knew that this was just the beginning, and the hunting operation would continue until all the Demon Gods on the Holy Dragon Continent were eliminated.
Three days later, the northern region also experienced blood rain, and the second indigenous Demon God was hunted down.
Seven days later, the third.
Ten days later, the fourth.
With these changes, the Demon Gods on the Holy Dragon Continent were terrified. They had tried to counterattack with their followers, attempted to unite and strike back, and even tried to enter a state of slumber to avoid being located, but all to no avail.
The faith system had the advantage of longevity, but from the moment they merged with the Floating Core Law, this outcome was inevitable. No transcendent system is absolutely perfect.
