Chapter 359: Planetary Crisis! The Battle Begins!

Chapter 359: Planetary Crisis! The Battle Begins!

The Cloudscape Starfield, a vast starfield with a diameter exceeding 40,000 kilometers, was known for its harsh environment and frequent natural disasters, making it challenging for life to thrive.

Over countless years, the Demon Realm Civilization had monopolized the Cloudscape Starfield, keeping the population on the starfield at several billion.

When the great celestial upheaval occurred, it immediately caught the attention of the two Demigods stationed in the Cloudscape Starfield, who swiftly dispatched their powerful subordinates to confirm the emergence of a new Third-tier Passage.

"A new Third-tier Passage?"

"Leading to the Seven Stars Civilization?"

"Quickly report this to the Eastern Demon God." The two Demigods made a swift decision: "This might be our chance."

As Demigods, they were the supreme beings in the Cloudscape Starfield, making decisions on all matters big and small, living a carefree life.

However, being confined to a small starfield for so long, they also yearned for something more—to become Gods.

Once they achieved Godhood, they would be free from the starfield's constraints, able to roam the various starfields, truly living a carefree life.

In the main hall of the starfield's capital city, countless lights and shadows converged, forming an ethereal form exuding a powerful aura.

"God."

"We pay our respects." The two Demigods bowed respectfully.

"Tashi and Florence." The Eastern Demon God addressed the two Demigods: "I have read all the reports you submitted. Well done. Your control over the starfield is thorough, and you discovered this starfield passage promptly."

"It is our duty, God," Tashi Halfgod, clad in purple, humbly replied, "The Demon Realm Civilization has thoroughly infiltrated the surveillance system in the starfield. Discovering the passage promptly is what we should have done."

"The Seven Stars Civilization has only recently started to value the Flying Sky Realm in the past hundred years. They prioritize the Flying Heaven Realm and pay little attention to the Lantie Star," Tashi explained. "So far, I have dispatched over ten Flying Heaven Demonic Sons to the vicinity of the starfield passage, and none of the Seven Stars Civilization's powerful beings have been spotted yet."

"It seems the Seven Stars Civilization is still unaware of the additional starfield passage."

"Indeed. The Seven Stars Civilization has yet to birth a God, and they have not integrated with the plane's origin. Their surveillance capabilities have weakened significantly," the Eastern Demon God nodded slightly. "However, this is still their planet, and with time, they will notice.

"Hence, we must act swiftly."

Tashi Halfgod and Florence Halfgod listened respectfully.

"To completely occupy the Seven Stars Civilization, we must eliminate their top-tier powerful beings," the Eastern Demon God said, gazing at the two Demigods. "We must also continuously weaken their potential and sever their foundations."

"This is an opportunity to completely annihilate the Lantie Star."

The two Demigods were startled.

Annihilate an entire planet?

"God, I cannot help but speak up," Florence Halfgod, dressed in white, said with restraint, "Although the Lantie Star is not highly valued in the Seven Stars Civilization, it is still guarded by a Demigod... This is just a Third-tier Passage, how can we annihilate a planet?"

In the entire Demon Realm Civilization, there were no Flying Heaven Realm beings comparable to Demigods, not even any close to that level.

It could be said that a planet guarded by a Demigod was virtually unshakeable, no matter how many Flying Heaven Realm warriors arrived; they could only cause some destruction but not destabilize the overall situation.

Initially, the two Demigods only intended to send more Flying Heaven Realm beings to infiltrate the Seven Stars Civilization.

"I will dispatch three Flying Heaven Demonic Sons from the Demon Palace," the Eastern Demon God declared, "I have already begun the urgent recruitment."

Flying Heaven Demonic Sons?

The two Demigods were taken aback.

Every normal civilization had a system for selecting geniuses, and the Demon Realm Civilization was no exception. As a powerful civilization with a long heritage, possessing dozens of life-bearing planets, and creating universal cultivation methods over countless years, the Demon Realm Civilization had produced an astonishing number of Second-tier and Third-tier powerful beings, tens of times more than the Seven Stars Civilization.

The number of Demigod-level powerful beings was also over ten times that of the Seven Stars Civilization.

The number of geniuses at the next level was also exceptionally high.

The Flying Heaven Demonic Sons represented those who had reached the Demigod-level in their True Intention Insight, some even crossing the threshold of the Law.

They were the pinnacle of the Flying Heaven Realm warriors in the Demon Realm Civilization, ready to break through and become Demigods at any moment.

The reason they hadn't broken through was mostly due to their pursuit of awakening stronger star powers and forging more robust foundations.

"Once these three Flying Heaven Demonic Sons reach the Lantie Star, they will break through nearby," the Eastern Demon God said solemnly.

The two Demigods nodded, impressed by the Eastern Demon God's grand plan.

Persuading Flying Heaven Realm warriors of this caliber to go to the Seven Stars Civilization to face death was an incredibly challenging task.

Indeed, in the eyes of Tashi Halfgod and Florence Halfgod, this was a suicidal mission. Even if Eastern Demon God could deal a significant blow to the Seven Stars Civilization in a short time, the future was still unpredictable.

"Additionally, I will gather a large number of Flying Heaven Realm beings and send them swiftly through the starfield passage."

The Eastern Demon God looked at the two of them and said, "But both require time, so I need you to dispatch your subordinates. First, send more than 200 Flying Heaven Warriors to secretly infiltrate Lan Tie Star and gather information."

"Prepare for a major war."

200 Flying Heaven Realm experts?

The two Demigods were startled. How many Flying Heaven Warriors were there in the entire Cloudscape Starfield?

It was common knowledge that the potential of life born in a Starfield was far inferior to that of life on a planet, and the number of Flying Heaven Realm experts that emerged was also far fewer. Moreover, most Flying Heaven Realm experts would leave the Starfield and live on the planets of the Demon Realm Civilization, where they would receive training and tempering.

"Tashi, Florence, you will be rewarded with merits." The Eastern Demon God spoke in a deep voice, "In the future, if we occupy the Seven Stars Civilization and obtain the treasures of the Immortal Burial Ancient Realm, your chances of becoming Gods will greatly increase."

For these Starfield Demigods, it was difficult for the Eastern Demon God to directly threaten or command them; he mostly had to entice them.

After some deliberation, the two Demigods agreed, "We will follow the God's command."

Soon, the long-dormant war machine of the Cloudscape Starfield began to mobilize at an astonishing speed.

...

In a rather peculiar world, the entire realm was shrouded in darkness.

Within a majestic hall.

"Puyang, Suha, Sang Qiu." The Eastern Demon God, in his ethereal form, looked down at the three individuals before him and said slowly, "I have already explained the situation and our demands to you."

"The entire civilization needs your contribution to destroy the Lan Tie Star of the Seven Stars Civilization." The Eastern Demon God continued, "As long as you agree, I will bestow upon you numerous treasures and divine artifacts."

"God."

"Is there no Demigod-level expert among the Demigods of Lan Tie Star?" The bald, burly man named Puyang asked in a deep voice, "If there is a Demigod-level expert, even if we break through to the Demigod realm and wield divine artifacts, we would have no hope of winning."

"Rest assured."

"How long has it been since the rise of the Seven Stars Civilization?" The Eastern Demon God smiled, "There are less than a hundred Demigods in their entire civilization, and most of them have only cultivated for a hundred years... The number of Demigod-level experts will definitely not exceed ten."

"Lan Tie Star is also the least valued planet. The probability of a Demigod-level expert being stationed there is almost zero." The Eastern Demon God added.

The three Flying Heaven Demonic Sons finally felt a bit relieved, but they were still filled with worry.

"The Seven Stars Civilization has not yet given birth to a True God, and the planet's passage has not been fully opened. Therefore, only Flying Heaven Warriors will be allowed to quickly pass through the planet's passage. Those powerful Demigods... will have to cross the planet, even if they ride powerful warships, it will take a long time." The Eastern Demon God explained, "Previously, there was a Fang Hai from the Seven Stars Civilization. At that time, he was only at the Flying Heaven Realm, and you were no match for him. But now, he has broken through to the Demigod realm, and he did so on the Flying Star."

"The current Seven Stars Civilization does not have any powerful Flying Heaven Warriors."

"What about Li Yuan?" Sang Qiu, the female among them, asked, "According to rumors, he has already become a Flying Heaven Warrior, hasn't he?"

"Even if he has become a Flying Heaven Warrior, how long has it been since he fought in the Second-tier Starfield? His Source Energy cultivation is probably not at its peak." The Eastern Demon God shook his head, "Even if his comprehension of the heavens and earth has improved rapidly, in such a short time, he probably hasn't even reached the Law Level."

"As long as you become Demigods, he will definitely not be your opponent." The Eastern Demon God assured them.

The three Flying Heaven Demonic Sons nodded in agreement.

Li Yuan was indeed a genius, but he was too young, and even if he broke through, his strength might not reach the Demigod level.

"Quickly wage war and slaughter the entire planet."

"After you succeed."

"Then quickly leave Lan Tie Star and fly into the heavens. Whether you roam the starry sky or hide on some desolate planet, it won't be difficult." The Eastern Demon God instructed.

The three Flying Heaven Demonic Sons listened attentively.

Demigods possessed formidable strength and could roam the starry sky with their physical bodies, living alone in the vastness of space.

However, this would be too lonely.

"In the future, when our Demon Realm Civilization occupies the Seven Stars Civilization, you will naturally be able to return." The Eastern Demon God looked down at the three of them, "The entire civilization will not forget your contributions, and we will definitely treat your families and friends well."

This was a combination of enticement and coercion.

"We will follow the God's command."

"We will do our best to slaughter the entire planet." The three Flying Heaven Demonic Sons, including Puyang, completely submitted.

Quickly, they left the Demon Palace, carrying the treasures bestowed by the Eastern Demon God, and headed towards the Cloudscape Starfield.

Inside the Demon Palace.

"It won't be difficult for the three Flying Heaven Demonic Sons to become Demigods." The Eastern Demon God thought to himself, "With over three thousand Flying Heaven Realm experts... under such intense pressure, perhaps several Demigods will be born."

"We might be able to annihilate the entire Lan Tie Star."

Ever since the Flying Star War a hundred years ago, the Eastern Demon God had not expected to be able to annihilate the entire Seven Stars Civilization in one battle... He could only hope to continuously weaken the Seven Stars Civilization and slow down their rise.

"The entire Seven Stars Civilization only has seven major planets."

"If we slaughter all life on Lan Tie Star, perhaps in the future, it can also be restored... But it will take at least a few decades." The Eastern Demon God thought to himself.

Time passed.

The mobilization of numerous Flying Heaven Realm beings in the Demon Realm Civilization naturally attracted the attention of many hidden forces in other civilizations... However, only a select few powerful beings were truly aware of the new Starfield Gateway in the Cloudscape Starfield.

For instance, some Flying Heaven Warriors and two Demigods from the Cloudscape Starfield, as well as three Demonic Sons.

As for the rest? Very few knew.

Even most of the summoned Flying Heaven Realm beings only knew they were about to engage in a battle, but the specific target and destination remained unknown for the time being.

Therefore, although the intelligence system of the Seven Star Civilization received news of the mobilization of powerful beings in the Demon Realm Civilization, it did not immediately raise an alarm.

...

Several days later.

In the Wind Cloud Planet, the God Warrior Starfield, Li Yuan's palace, an intelligent robot was brewing tea.

Li Yuan was hosting a banquet for his friends.

"Senior Jin, congratulations on becoming a member of Seven-star Mountain." Li Yuan smiled and said, "I was in closed-door cultivation before, so I couldn't congratulate you right away."

"Your cultivation is more important, so it's no problem."

"Besides, it's fine if others congratulate me, but you shouldn't make fun of me." Jin Huguo shook his head and chuckled, "Not to mention comparing with you, even if I compare myself to Alicia and the others, I'm still far inferior."

"This doesn't sound like the Senior Jin I know." Li Yuan smiled, "Why bother about others? Just focus on your own path."

Jin Huguo was 28 years old this year. His skills had reached the fifth level of completion, making him a member of Seven-star Mountain, which was already impressive and beyond the average standard of the God Warrior Palace members.

It should be known that when Jin Huguo entered the God Warrior Palace, his innate talent and potential were only average.

It can be assumed that Jin Huguo's cultivation was still quite arduous.

Soon after.

Li Yuan sent Jin Huguo off and continued to sit alone, sipping tea. Although he appeared to be relaxing, he was secretly observing the 'Starry Universe Diagram' and pondering its profound mysteries.

Even though Li Yuan had reached the sixth level of completion in True Intention, he still found the Starry Universe Diagram filled with enigmatic wonders.

The creator of the Starry Universe Diagram had a realm far beyond Li Yuan's.

"Crossing into the Law Level is truly difficult." Li Yuan thought to himself, "In the year since I became a Flying Heaven Warrior, my progress in the True Intention of Wind and Earth has surpassed that of many years of cultivation... yet I still haven't crossed into the Law Level in any of them."

Of course.

Currently, Li Yuan had reached the sixth level of completion in both the True Intention of Wind and Earth, and he was close to the limit of the sixth level... The might of his True Intention fusion made his spear techniques far more formidable than they were a year ago.

"Once my True Intention of Earth transforms into the Law Level, I think I can comprehend the second form of 'Domain Cloud Spear' and even the third form. There should be hope then." Li Yuan pondered silently.

The 'Domain Cloud Spear' was the ultimate skill of the True God, consisting of nine forms, each possessing immense power.

Suddenly—

"Buzz~" The intelligent ring vibrated intensely, and Li Yuan's expression changed slightly.

An emergency? Li Yuan's thoughts stirred, and he immediately activated it.

Whoosh~

Light converged, quickly forming a miniature projection, and a figure in black appeared.

"Principal?" Li Yuan addressed the figure, who was Fang Hai.

"Li Yuan, Lantie Star is facing a planetary crisis." Fang Hai's expression turned solemn, "The situation is extremely urgent, and we may need your help."

"A planetary crisis?" Li Yuan was shocked.

A crisis worthy of being called a planetary crisis represented a major threat to the survival of the entire planet.

What could it be?

"You need to set out immediately and head to the entrance/exit of the Sixth Starfield with Duanyu Hong." Fang Hai said, "I'll send you the detailed information right after this."

"There's one thing you should pay attention to. Try to conceal your aura as much as possible and let everyone think that you've only recently broken through to the Flying Heaven Realm... This is very important."

"Understood." Li Yuan's thoughts stirred.

With a thought, Li Yuan left the palace, carrying the Ancient God Palace and the Sky Serpent Temple, two Cavern Treasures.

...

Arriving high above Seven-star Mountain.

Several Flying Heaven Warriors were already waiting there, led by a white-robed Duanyu Hong.

Besides him, there were other Flying Heaven Warriors, all of whom were peak warriors guarding the God Warrior Starfield.

"Duanyu."

"Li Yuan, you're here?" Duanyu Hong nodded, "Congratulations on breaking through to the Flying Heaven Realm. Are you going to participate in the battle as well?"

It was clear that Duanyu Hong had received a message and was going to 'act' alongside Li Yuan.

"Yes, I broke through not long ago." Li Yuan nodded, "With this planetary crisis, I have no other responsibilities, so it's natural for me to join the battle."

"Li Yuan has become a Flying Heaven Warrior?"

"Congratulations." The other peak warriors spoke up, surprised but not overly shocked.

In their eyes, it was normal for Li Yuan to break through with his strength and realm.

"I sense Li Yuan's aura, and it should be at the 33rd level." A man in golden robes exclaimed excitedly, "Even before Li Yuan's breakthrough, he had the combat power of a Star Lord. Now, his strength is almost at the Demigod level... He will definitely be a great help."

"We're all doing our part." Li Yuan said.

"Let's go." Duanyu Hong said, "We can chat along the way."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A group of Flying Heaven Warriors transformed into streams of light and swiftly headed towards the starfield entrance.
