Chapter 379: Operation! The Demon Realm Civilization

Chapter 379: Operation! The Demon Realm Civilization

After refining ten Demigod Apex Puppets...

Approximately 300 kilometers away from the center of Xia Kingdom's capital, high above the mountain ranges, Li Yuan met with Bai Shan once more.

"Senior Bai Shan."

Li Yuan spoke, "According to the Alliance Leader's orders, you and Dan Tai Lie will remain on Blue Star, while the other Demigods will embark on a journey to Flying Star."

"Alright." Bai Shan nodded, sighing, "With the speed of their battle ships, it will take them over a month to get there."

Whether it was a Tier Four starship or a Demigod, their speed within a planet's interior was inferior to that of the universe... But traveling through the vast starry skies wasn't a simple linear journey.

The route would be more complex.

"In over a month, if the Demon Realm Civilization launches an attack at the first opportunity, the great war might already be over." Li Yuan sighed.

"That's true, but we must still send them. Perhaps the Demon Realm Civilization is still unaware that the East has fallen." Bai Shan nodded, "Without the East's presence, we must concentrate the majority of our Demigods on Flying Star to ensure our defense."

Li Yuan slightly nodded, concentrating the Demigods was a necessary action.

"Senior Bai Shan, although Blue Star only has one 'Third Rank Star Realm'—the Ten Thousand Frost Star World, we must still be cautious. I have some Skygliding Apex Puppets here that I'm willing to entrust to you."

"Skygliding Apex Puppets?" Bai Shan nodded, not overly concerned.

After all, within the Seven Stars Civilization, there were numerous Skygliding Apex Puppets, but most of them were of average strength, only serving as supplementary defense for Second Rank Star Realms.

Li Yuan directly waved his hand.

Whoosh!

Instantly, hundreds of silver-armored figures appeared in the surrounding void, centered around Li Yuan. Each held weapons and exuded a formidable aura, and shared a similar appearance...

"What? 800 of them?" Bai Shan's pupils constricted as he scanned with his divine sense, instantly grasping the exact number.

Such a large quantity was beyond his expectations.

"These Skygliding Apex Puppets are all at the Skygliding Apex level." Li Yuan reiterated.

"What? Skygliding Apex? All of them?" Bai Shan was completely shocked.

Within the Seven Stars Civilization, even in the Seven Stars Treasury, there weren't any puppets of this caliber available for Demigods to exchange.

And Li Yuan had just produced 800 of them?

It was astonishing.

"Remember this Demigod's aura. For the next ten years, apart from me, you will follow his commands." Li Yuan pointed at Bai Shan.

"Yes, Master." The 800 puppets responded respectfully, then turned to Bai Shan, "We pay our respects to the Demigod."

The simultaneous bow of 800 Skygliding Apex Puppets left Bai Shan in awe.

Although there were 6,000 Skygliding Warriors on Blue Star, less than 300 had reached the Skygliding Apex level.

"Li Yuan, this is the power you obtained from the Blue Star base." Bai Shan couldn't help but speak up.

"No." Li Yuan shook his head, "The power left by Alliance Leader Dongfang is different. This is my own power."

Bai Shan was secretly shocked.

"However, the power left by Alliance Leader Dongfang is even stronger." Li Yuan sighed.

Alliance Leader Dongfang had indeed made nearly perfect preparations for the entire civilization.

"Senior Bai Shan, how should we deploy these puppets?" Li Yuan asked.

"With this group of Skygliding Apex Puppets, the entrances of the various Second Rank Star Realms will be as solid as gold." Bai Shan smiled, "As long as no new Third Rank Star Realms appear, we will definitely hold our ground."

"I need to head to Flying Star immediately. I ask you to take care of my friends and family while I'm away." Li Yuan said.

"Rest assured, I will take good care of them." Bai Shan understood Li Yuan's experiences and knew how much he valued his friends and family.

Bai Shan didn't mind Li Yuan's personal concerns.

Everyone had their own motives, and as a superpower, as long as it didn't exceed the limit, it was acceptable.

...

After parting ways with Bai Shan, Li Yuan flew straight towards the Lantis Continent.

The entrance to the Third Star Realm was located on the Lantis Continent in the Pacific Ocean.

Soon after...

Whoosh!

A streak of green light swiftly approached Li Yuan in the sky.

"Big Brother." Liu Bing hurried towards him at an incredible speed.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded. After learning about his upcoming task from the Blue Star base, he had sent a soul message to Liu Bing, asking her to catch up with him quickly.

"Little Bing, have you made all the arrangements?" Li Yuan sent a sound transmission.

"Yes, Big Brother. I've taken care of Uncle and Auntie, so you can rest assured." Liu Bing replied.

"Little Bing, time is of the essence. I need you to take me through the various planets as quickly as possible." Li Yuan said solemnly.

Even with his Star Cloud Void Glider, his speed couldn't compare to Liu Bing's.

"Okay."

Liu Bing, with Li Yuan in tow, maintained an astonishing speed, swiftly crossing the sky.

"Little Bing, your speed has increased?" Li Yuan was surprised.

"Yes, Big Brother. My understanding of the law is about to break through, and my escape technique has improved further." Liu Bing said proudly, "I estimate that within this year, I'll reach the Seventh Rank High Realm."

Li Yuan was secretly amazed.

Indeed, as a Saint Blood Snake, her cultivation speed was astonishing. The more he interacted with her, the more he could sense the terrifying power of her bloodline.

Reaching the Seventh Rank Middle Realm in law comprehension meant attaining the Demigod Apex level.

If she could reach the Seventh Rank High Realm, then becoming a Transcendent Demigod would be just a step away. At present, within the Seven Stars Civilization, there was probably not a single Demigod with such law comprehension.

"Xiao Bing, I recall you once said that as your strength grows, the Bloodline's effect will naturally allow you to tap into the Spatial Laws, right?" Li Yuan inquired via transmission.

"Correct!"

Liu Bing responded while flying at high speed: "According to my inherited memories, typically, one must reach the Virtual Divine level in Law comprehension or have their soul transform to the Virtual Divine level to sense the existence of Spatial fluctuations."

"However, that's merely sensing, similar to how every Flying Heaven stage cultivator can sense the Heaven and Earth's mysterious fluctuations, yet many struggle to condense their True Intent."

"Only a handful of Virtual Divine strongholds can truly cross the threshold into Spatial Laws."

"Space is the foundation of all existence; thus, the Spatial Origin Great Dao surpasses the other seven Heaven and Earth Origin Great Daos." Liu Bing transmitted.

Li Yuan, having received numerous inheritances, was naturally aware of this.

Entering Spatial Laws is extremely challenging, but even a slight glimpse... holds terrifying might.

"However, once I become a Demi-God, even with weaker Law comprehension, not having reached the Virtual Divine level ( Seventh Stage Completion), I'll still be able to sense the Spatial mysterious fluctuations." Liu Bing said.

"That's good news." Li Yuan smiled.

"Big Brother, why the sudden inquiry about Spatial Laws?" Liu Bing asked curiously: "Did you sense the Spatial fluctuations, Big Brother?"

"We'll discuss it later." Li Yuan smiled.

Sensing the Spatial mysterious fluctuations?

Back when he first entered the Luobu Sea Star Realm, condensing the Wind's True Intent nascent form, he had already faintly sensed it... but comprehension was too difficult.

Despite the passing years, with Li Yuan's strength far surpassing his past self and his Law comprehension increased by an unknown fold, he still only had a vague sense.

"To this day, the Divine Palace interface hasn't provided any hints, clearly not even grasping a thread of the mystery." Li Yuan sighed inwardly: "Next, I'll focus on preparing for the great war."

"Then, I'll continue cultivating, striving to fully convert Law comprehension into strength. Only by grasping the third form of the _Jieyun Spear_ can my spear techniques undergo another transformation." Li Yuan's eyes shone with determination.

Although a Demi-God puppet is crucial, its strength has reached its limit; his own potential is endless.

However, even after entering the Wind Law threshold,

merely wielding the Earth Law or Wind Law results in weak might.

Laws must be combined.

Yet, the difficulty of combining Laws far surpasses that of combining True Intent... Since entering the Wind Law threshold, Li Yuan's spear techniques have been continuously strengthening, but the two Great Laws' mysteries have yet to perfectly merge.

...

As Li Yuan and Liu Bing hastened towards Fei Xing at top speed, and numerous Demi-Gods departed from various star planets to rush towards Fei Xing,

the entire Seven Stars Civilization, from top to bottom, began a full-scale mobilization.

This unusual change was swiftly sensed by many extraterritorial civilizations' hidden agents and informants within the Seven Stars Civilization, who began transmitting the information back to their respective civilizations.

However, most extraterritorial civilizations were unclear about the Seven Stars Civilization's specific situation.

Except for the Wanmo Civilization.

On Wanmo Star, the lair of the Eastern Devil God, aside from the God's presence, numerous Demi-Gods of the Wanmo Civilization resided there.

After all, the closer one is to a God, the higher the chances of receiving guidance and treasured gifts during cultivation.

Demi-Gods within the Wanmo Civilization held extremely high status, often building separate divine temples to reside in.

Ye An, the Demi-God recognized as the 'First Demi-God' of the Wanmo Civilization, possessed extraordinary strength, and his residence was naturally lavish and expansive. Within a mysterious temple,

this was Ye An's secluded cultivation site, where only he was normally allowed to enter.

"Ah~~" Ye An lay twisted on the bed, his face contorted in agony, with blood seeping from the surface of his skin.

The pain was unbearable!

It was the anguish of a torn soul.

"Ah~" Even with Ye An's formidable willpower, he couldn't help but emit a series of low growls.

His soul's energy was constantly weakening, as if under relentless soul attacks...

After a while,

Ye An's soul energy finally stabilized, and his facial expression eased.

"I... am free... reporting to..." Messages flashed through his mind.

Some time passed.

"Ah." Ye An finally opened his eyes and sat up straight, mumbling to himself: "I've recovered my freedom? No, I've truly regained my freedom! I am Ye An, once controlled by the Seven Stars Civilization's Eastern Extreme Heart Soul, now I am free."

"So, I must deduce that Eastern Extreme is dead."

"Eastern Extreme's demise means the greatest obstacle blocking our Wanmo Civilization's invasion of the Seven Stars Civilization has vanished." Ye An muttered, seemingly reinforcing the messages.

Soon after,

Ye An, having consumed multiple soul treasures, restored his soul energy to the peak of the Flying Heaven stage. He transformed into a streak of light, hastily rushing towards the Wanmo Temple.

Simultaneously, he transmitted a message to the Eastern Devil God.

A pressing matter requires an audience.

...

As the top Demi-God of the civilization, emphasizing the urgency of the matter, Ye An easily secured an audience with the Eastern Devil God.

Within the Wanmo Temple,

"Ye An, what's with your soul energy?" the Eastern Devil God inquired, puzzled, looking at Ye An: "Were you ambushed?"

How could Ye An suffer such severe soul damage within Wanmo Star?

"I beg to report."

"Ye An has erred; I await the God's judgment." Ye An knelt, his voice low: "I was previously controlled by the Seven Stars Civilization's Eastern Extreme Heart Soul, committing many acts detrimental to our civilization, deserving of death.

"Nightfall!" The Eastern Devil God's voice turned icy, hinting at his simmering anger. "You were truly under soul control before!"

He was indeed furious, with a hint of lingering fear. After all, he had trusted Nightfall greatly, entrusting him with numerous tasks and revealing many secrets of the civilization... Could it be that he had been under the control of the Eastern Extreme's soul all this time? How many secrets might have been leaked during this period?

"Calm your anger, O God," Nightfall Half-God pleaded, his eyes gleaming with desire. "I have betrayed your trust, and I deserve death. But before I die, I wish to make one last contribution to our civilization."

The Eastern Devil God fixed his gaze upon Nightfall.

"Over a hundred years ago, during the Flying Star War, I was controlled by the Eastern Extreme..." Nightfall's voice trailed off, his eyes filled with longing.

"Just recently, my soul mark suddenly began to crumble," Nightfall continued, his voice deep and somber. "I can almost confirm that the Eastern Extreme's soul essence suddenly dissipated, and I was freed from his control... I suspect he has perished."

The Eastern Devil God's eyes flickered as he processed Nightfall's words, and he could almost confirm that Nightfall had indeed broken free from soul control, which sparked numerous speculations.

Now, he had Nightfall's own confession.

However, it was all too unbelievable.

After fighting the Eastern Extreme for so many years, and even upon hearing the news of his adventures in the starry void, the Eastern Devil God had personally sought to slay him, only to meet with failure.

He was well aware of the Eastern Extreme's formidable power.

How could such an extraordinary demon suddenly perish?

"Nightfall! Are you trying to deceive me? Luring me to attack the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization?" The Eastern Devil God's eyes turned icy. "Now that you've regained your freedom from soul control, why didn't you secretly hide this matter? Why reveal it now, risking my wrath and your own life?"

Deep down, the Eastern Devil God was skeptical.

"O God," Nightfall pleaded, his eyes filled with hatred. "I dare not deceive you. I am indeed free from soul control, and I believe you can uncover the truth. I must tell you, driven by my hatred! I have been enslaved for over a century, and I loathe the Eastern Extreme."

"If not for his control, my understanding of the laws might have reached the seventh level of perfection."

"But with the Eastern Extreme's demise, I yearn to annihilate the Seven Star Civilization!" Nightfall roared. "I wish to avenge myself, but I know I cannot do it alone. Only you, O God, possess such power."

Nightfall's entire body trembled with intense emotion.

"No!" The Eastern Devil God remained calm. "Even if you seek revenge, there's no need to place yourself in danger."

"Even if I reveal the truth slowly and secretly, it might be too late," Nightfall urged. "With the Eastern Extreme's fall, the Seven Star Civilization is likely unprepared for war. If we attack now, we can catch them off guard."

"If we delay, even by a few months, and they gather more Half-Gods in the Ten Thousand Demon Star Realm, it will become more challenging to conquer."

"Most importantly, there's Li Yuan and Fang Hai," Nightfall added. "Their strength is growing rapidly. If we wait a few more years before attacking, they might become the second or third Eastern Extreme."

"By then, my revenge will be truly hopeless," Nightfall said, bowing repeatedly. "I beseech you to see the truth, O God."

"I, Nightfall, fear not death. I only crave revenge!"

"For the sake of our civilization, I implore you to make a swift decision," Nightfall pleaded sincerely.

The Eastern Devil God stared at Nightfall, observing him closely and sensing the fluctuations in his soul... It seemed genuinely heartfelt.

"The Eastern Extreme's demise cannot be fully confirmed," the Eastern Devil God thought, finally reaching a conclusion. "But Nightfall's words likely come from his heart."

After careful consideration, the Eastern Devil God spoke, his voice icy. "According to the laws left by the True God of the Ten Thousand Demon Realm, those controlled by alien souls and acting against their will, once freed, must report the news and recount the past to be considered innocent."

"Now, I will continue to detain you."

"If it is ultimately proven that what you said is true, then I will release you, and you will not only be blameless but also have merit." Dong Mo Shen Ming said, "At that time, wait for me to conquer the Seven Stars Civilization... You can even go to the Seven Stars Civilization, and go to the Nine Mountain World to explore."

"Thank you, God." Ye An Demi-God excitedly said, "I only ask to exterminate the Seven Stars Civilization."

"Kill them all!!!"

...

After receiving Ye An Demi-God's report.

Dong Mo Shen Ming no longer had any hesitation and immediately ordered the investigation of intelligence in the Seven Stars Civilization, searching for clues.

"At all costs!"

"Contact the Demi-Gods in the Seven Stars Civilization, those who provided us with intelligence before, go contact them." Dong Mo Shen Ming forcefully ordered, "I need to know the latest situation of the Seven Stars Civilization."

Even though it has been confirmed to be eighty percent true.

But Dong Mo Shen Ming still dared not be careless.

Soon after, Dong Mo Shen Ming received a large amount of intelligence and began to constantly analyze useful information.

"The leader has been replaced, Fang Hai has become the leader? Li Yuan as the deputy leader?"

"Where is Dong Fang Ji?"

"The Seven Stars Civilization on various planets, just started to order, seems to be secretly carrying out a migration plan?" Dong Mo Shen Ming read these intelligence and constantly thought.

He stood in the void, his eyes flashing, "Combining these intelligence... Could it be, Dong Fang Ji is dead?"

...

Within the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

Buzz~ Buzz~ A large amount of light converged, forming two figures exuding a mysterious aura.

"Dong Mo, you just sent us a message, is Dong Fang Ji dead?" Dome Gold God urgently asked, "Where did you get this information?"

"It's my subordinate, Ye An Demi-God..." Dong Mo Shen Ming quickly explained everything he knew.

Although he didn't like Dome Gold God, since it concerned the rise and fall of the entire civilization, he also dared not be careless.

Bei Yue God and Dome Gold God listened.

"Could it be a trap set by Dong Fang Ji?" Dome Gold God frowned, "If he's truly fallen, the high-level Demi-Gods of the Seven Stars Civilization wouldn't be so eager to act, they should hide this news instead."

"Now, although they didn't say Dong Fang Ji is dead, even their Demi-Gods can't confirm this news... But their large-scale migration action is enough to show that there's a big problem within their civilization." Dome Gold God said.

"It's normal for them to act." Bei Yue God said, "Dong Fang Ji controlling the Ye An incident, the Seven Stars Civilization would definitely know... According to reason, they would worry that we'll find out the situation from Ye An, and then attack Flying Star."

"Without Dong Fang Ji, how can the remaining Demi-Gods resist? They would naturally consider a large-scale migration plan." Bei Yue God said.

Dome Gold God frowned.

Bei Yue God's words were reasonable, but he always felt something was amiss.

"Secondly."

"If Dong Fang Ji isn't dead, he wouldn't have the need to set up a trap." Bei Yue God shook his head, "If Dong Fang Ji is still alive, we'll have to wait for several decades or even a century, until Li Yuan and Fang Hai fully rise, at that time their three Demi-Gods, we won't be able to shake them..." This was also the reason why they proposed a truce recently.

Apparently, Bei Yue God believed Dong Fang Ji was dead.

"Dong Mo, you're the leader of the civilization, what do you think?" Dome Gold God asked.

"From the current signs, Dong Fang Ji is dead." Dong Mo Shen Ming said quietly, "The probability that Dong Fang Ji set up a trap, is also there."

"It's up to us, whether we dare to take the gamble."

The two Demi-Gods began to think.

Gamble? "The previous truce proposal was rejected by the Seven Stars Civilization." Dong Mo Shen Ming slowly said, "If we don't gamble, then no matter if Dong Fang Ji is dead, the Seven Stars Civilization will remain powerful, and wait for Li Yuan and Fang Hai to fully grow, at that time we'll have no hope left..."

"Even in the future, we'll face the revenge of the Seven Stars Civilization, which will be an even crueler war." Dong Mo Shen Ming said.

Bei Yue God and Dome Gold God's eyes flashed with a glimmer.

They both understood the deep-rooted hatred between their civilization and the Seven Stars Civilization, which was hard to resolve.

"If we gamble!"

"Once Dong Fang Ji isn't dead, then we'll suffer heavy casualties, but the ones who'll die are only Demi-Gods." Dong Mo Shen Ming said in a low voice, "Even if more die, it won't affect us three."

"But if Dong Fang Ji is dead."

"While the Demi-Gods of the Seven Stars Civilization aren't gathered, Flying Star's defense is at its weakest, plus Fang Hai and Li Yuan haven't fully grown up, this is our best chance." Dong Mo Shen Ming's eyes turned cold, "According to the intelligence we know, the channel to the Burial Ancient Realm is right in Flying Star."

"Even if we can't exterminate the Seven Stars Civilization, occupying Flying Star shouldn't be difficult..."

"At that time, we'll be able to send a large number of Flying Heaven Cultivators and Demi-Gods into the Nine Mountain World, to seize the treasures and possibly powerful inheritances of the Burial Ancient Realm."

"Once we gain something, perhaps we'll be able to take another step forward." Dong Mo Shen Ming said in a low voice, "What do you think?"

"Let's go to war." Bei Yue God directly said, "We must act fast, can't give the Seven Stars Civilization more time to react."

"Let's go to war." Dome Gold God also said, he was also convinced, he was the closest to his lifespan limit, and in his heart, he actually wanted this.

"Good."

"Dome Gold, then please ask your personal disciple 'Sha Kun' to come." Dong Mo Shen Ming revealed a strange smile, "I know he's already broken through, and can become a God at any time, let him lead the Demi-God army, and decide the battle."
