Chapter 386: The Power of the Secret Treasure! Fang Hai's Killing Intent

"Have the reinforcements from the Demon Realm Civilization arrived?" Li Yuan sensed the powerful fluctuations of heaven and earth's power at the star realm entrance and glanced over with his peripheral vision.

The enemy reinforcements arrived faster than Li Yuan had anticipated.

"The headmaster and the others are still trying to block them." Li Yuan looked towards Fang Hai and the twenty Archon Apex puppets that had not taken the initiative to attack, their bodies surrounded by golden light.

It was the Primordial Energy Array.

Countless surging golden lights converged from the void within a thousand-kilometer radius, forming an incredibly terrifying golden cloud. This golden cloud contained formidable power, blocking the star realm entrance.

For several minutes beforehand.

The Archons of the Demon Realm Civilization repeatedly attempted to break through the golden cloud but failed, even with He Mu and Dark Night combining their efforts, they were still blocked by Fang Hai.

In the end, they were trapped in a small area, unable to escape, and could only desperately withstand the attacks from the Seven Stars Civilization's army.

But now.

Terrifying fluctuations were attacking the golden cloud from another direction, also targeting Fang Hai and the twenty Archon Apex puppets guarding the passage.

"The reinforcements have arrived."

"Hold on!!!"

"Just hold on for a little longer, and we can start a counterattack. The deity has ordered the entire army to come and kill them all."

For a moment, the Archons of the Seven Stars Civilization were tense, while the remaining five powerful beings of the Demon Realm Civilization were incredibly excited.

Their casualties were devastating.

As the vanguard, they had all been granted Celestial Artifacts, and each of them possessed the strength of Archon Apex... In terms of strength, they were no less formidable than Li Yuan, and many of them could even rival Blood Cloth.

If not for the assistance of the array, this vanguard could easily slaughter the Archons of the Seven Stars Civilization.

But in this battle, they first encountered the suppression of the Primordial Energy Array, and then faced dozens more Archon puppets from the Seven Stars Civilization.

One by one, they were executed.

In less than five minutes, fifteen Archon Apex powerhouses had fallen, only managing to kill two Archons from the Seven Stars Civilization... The ones they killed were merely Junior Archons.

The truly formidable Archons of the Seven Stars Civilization remained unscathed.

Now, they had finally held on until the reinforcements arrived.

"Quick."

"There are too many enemy Archons, over three hundred of them. The Alliance Leader and the others can't hold on for long. Try to kill as many Archons as possible." Lante's voice was urgent, "The more we kill, the less pressure we'll face later on."

"Bang~"

"Boom!" "Boom!" In the void, Archons and Archon puppets of the Seven Stars Civilization were attacking Dark Night and He Mu with all their might.

However, the five remaining Archons of the Demon Realm Civilization were able to survive amidst the swarm of Archons.

Aside from the two Archon Limit powerhouses, the remaining three were also at level 46, possessing extremely strong survival abilities.

"Eternal Night Realm!" Dark Night Archon hovered in the air, having already unleashed his most powerful ultimate move.

Whoosh! Countless surging Primordial Energies, combined with nine enormous bronze ancient mirrors, formed a dark world that enveloped over ten kilometers.

Each of the nine bronze ancient mirrors was ordinary on its own, a common Celestial Artifact... But when combined, they achieved perfect synergy.

Moreover, they complemented his ultimate move exceptionally well.

Sevenfold Domain Spell - "Eternal Night Realm"! With Dark Night Archon as the core and the nine Celestial Artifact ancient mirrors as support, the unleashed power canceled out most of the suppression from the Primordial Energy Array.

Beams of dark light shot out, resembling massive black holes at first glance!

"Roar!"

"Roar!" Each roaring Archon puppet, wielding divine swords and attempting to close in, was assaulted by the dark light. With their strength, they could easily withstand the attacks.

However, the closer they got to Dark Night Archon, the stronger the suppression they faced.

"Blood Demon!" Blood Cloth Archon was surrounded by countless blood lights and golden lights, his battle intent soaring as he unleashed his attack spell. His two large hands resembled blood-colored dark clouds, repeatedly dispersing the dark light and attempting to attack Dark Night Archon.

"Divine Woods!" He Mu Archon was engulfed in flames, standing in front of Dark Night Archon within the dark world, his divine staff dazzling.

Each swing of his staff seemed to cause a heavenly upheaval, as the power of heaven and earth surged, knocking Blood Cloth Archon backward.

The attacks from the Archon Apex puppets occasionally landed on He Mu Archon, but he endured them head-on.

"So difficult to kill."

"Are Archon Limit powerhouses all this terrifying?" The Archons of the Seven Stars Civilization felt their hearts tremble and their heads ache.

Archons like Snowdragon, Yan Cheng, and Three-Leaf, even with the support of the Primordial Energy Array, were still no match for the Archon Apex puppets, posing even less of a threat.

In the past, they had heard of the strength of Archon Limit powerhouses, but only through life-and-death battles did they truly understand their might.

If not for the suppression of the Primordial Energy Array preventing their escape, a single Archon Limit powerhouse could easily defeat over ten Archon Apex powerhouses.

If not for Fang Hai's bizarre sword techniques, constantly guarding the star realm entrance, Dark Night Archon and He Mu Archon would have fled long ago.

In another direction within the dark world.

"Whoosh!" Li Yuan's spear lights howled, sometimes transforming into nine shadows and sometimes merging strangely, as he frantically attacked the three Archons of the Demon Realm Civilization nearby.

Their strengths were no less than Blood Cloth Archon's normal state, yet they appeared extremely flustered under Li Yuan's attacks.

Aside from Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and many other Archon puppets, they were all attacking frantically, creating opportunities for Li Yuan.

"Not good!" A burly Archon holding a sword and shield suddenly let out a terrified roar. He had just been knocked back by Liu Bing's attack, caught between old and new forces.

"Swoosh!"

A spear pierced through his chest, and the spearhead suddenly shook, tearing upwards from the chest and entering the skull... The head exploded.

Dead!

"Another one killed."

"Only four left." The other Archons of the Seven Stars Civilization were exhilarated and admired Li Yuan.

Up until now, in the large-scale battle, Fang Hai was the strongest, but most of his energy was focused on guarding the star realm entrance. Blood Cloth Archon was restraining the Archon Limit powerhouses... The one who had killed the most enemies was Li Yuan.

His gun technique was mysterious and unpredictable.

"Jian Qian is dead."

"Damn Li Yuan," He Mu Demigod and Night Shadow Demigod also witnessed this scene, feeling both anger and helplessness.

Although they were powerful, facing the siege of so many Demigod powerhouses, they were barely holding on, and couldn't spare any attention to rescue Jian Qian.

However.

After killing another Demigod, Li Yuan didn't feel much joy.

His peripheral vision glanced towards the distance.

"Boom!" Dozens of kilometers away from the Star Realm entrance, the tremors became more intense, and a large amount of gathered golden energy was dissipating, clearly on the verge of collapse, and it couldn't hold on much longer.

"We're out of time."

"I must use my killing move." Li Yuan had already made his decision, and with a flip of his palm, a black crystal appeared. As Primordial Energy was infused into it, the crystal emitted a heart-palpitating aura.

"What is this?"

"What's that?" Many people noticed this scene, and Night Shadow Demigod and He Mu Demigod felt their hearts skip a beat, as they vaguely sensed a deadly threat.

"Big Brother." Liu Bing looked at Li Yuan in surprise, as she could sense the terror of this black crystal.

"Li Yuan, are you really going to use this secret treasure? This is a life-saving item, and you want to use it here?" Gu You's anxious voice sounded: "Even if you lose this confrontation, it won't be a threat to you. With Liu Bing by your side, you'll definitely be safe."

"I have no choice."

"It's too difficult to kill a Demigod at the Apex." Li Yuan's eyes showed determination: "In this first battle, we have the advantage of time and location, and two Demigods have already died... If the Demon Army breaks through, hundreds of Demigods led by two Apex Demigods... We have no hope at all."

"We must kill the Apex Demigods first."

"Even if we lose at the Star Realm entrance, we can retreat through Flying Star... With that, there's a chance to defeat the Demons one by one." Li Yuan had already thought everything through.

It was crucial to eliminate the opponent's top combat power.

Treasure?

It's meant to be used at critical moments!

"Buzz!" Li Yuan's heart moved, and he directly activated the black crystal.

"Boom!"

It seemed slow, but in reality, Li Yuan and Gu You's exchange was extremely brief, and the moment he took out the black crystal, he fully unleashed its power.

Terrifying power burst forth, and behind him, a giant 'ochre' sun with a diameter of nearly a thousand meters faintly appeared.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to be suppressed by the ochre sun's radiating power.

Even the Primordial Energy Array covering thousands of kilometers and Night Shadow Demigod's Eternal Night Realm seemed to be trembling.

"This power..."

"No wonder they say that I must cross the threshold of the Earth Law to control it." Li Yuan was also a bit surprised, and at this moment, he felt like he was holding a world in his hands.

Absolute control! Unimaginable power!

But because this power was too strong, Li Yuan struggled to control it, and could only barely manage.

"Kill!" Li Yuan exerted all his control, and then with a move of his heart, he looked towards the end of the void where Night Shadow Demigod was.

In terms of attack power, He Mu Demigod was stronger.

But in terms of threat, in Li Yuan's opinion, Night Shadow Demigod was more dangerous.

"Boom!" The ochre sun with a diameter of nearly a thousand meters suddenly collapsed inwards, just like a black hole shrinking, and in an instant, only a tiny point remained.

This point instantly burst forth.

"Swoosh!" A streak of light filled with destructive power slashed through the world at a terrifying speed, faster than any weapon, and directly attacked the center of the Eternal Night Realm where Night Shadow Demigod was.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless dark streaks of light within the Eternal Night Realm howled, trying to block this streak of light, but they were directly crushed, unable to even slow it down.

"No!!!" Night Shadow Demigod's eyes showed madness, as he really didn't want to die.

At this life-and-death moment—

"Boundary Flame!"

He Mu Demigod, who had been defending with difficulty, suddenly burst forth with power. Two flames with powerful auras appeared in his palms, and with a surge, they directly transformed into two dazzling fire dragons in the void.

The power emitted by the fire dragons also made all the Demigods present feel their hearts tremble.

This!

Was the life-saving treasure bestowed upon 'He Mu Demigod' by the Eastern Demon God!

In the history of the Demon Realm Civilization, the Demonic True Deity had left behind ten Law Artifacts... After a long time, these Law Artifacts were already few and far between.

If it weren't for knowing that Fang Hai and Li Yuan were not to be trifled with,

The Eastern Demon God would definitely not have taken out a Law Artifact to bestow upon He Mu Demigod.

According to the Eastern Demon God's intention, as long as their two Demigod Apex weren't in life-threatening situations, they shouldn't use it.

"This Li Yuan..."

"What a luxury! To actually possess such a rare and precious treasure." He Mu Demigod's heart was bleeding, as the power of this Law Artifact could reach the False Deity tier.

It was enough to kill Demigod Apex powerhouses.

One could imagine its preciousness.

Boom! The two fire dragons, each several thousand meters long, roared as they intertwined, their speed equally terrifying, and they clashed head-on with the dazzling streak of light unleashed by Li Yuan!

"Riiip!"

Night Shadow Demigod's Eternal Night Realm was torn apart by the aftermath, and his entire aura weakened.

"Bang!" He Mu Demigod also flew backward, but there was relief and excitement on his face: "I managed to block it... If I didn't, Night Shadow Demigod might have directly fallen, and I would have been in danger too."

"Blocked?"

Li Yuan's heart sank: "The Demon Realm Civilization indeed has a similar life-saving treasure."

The Demon Realm Civilization was indeed a powerful civilization, and Li Yuan didn't feel too surprised.

But!

Li Yuan only had one treasure with such power.

In the midst of the war, Li Yuan knew that Liu Bing had her own life-saving treasures, but he wouldn't force her to use them.

A loud rumble reverberated in the distance, where the entrance of the Demon Mountain Star Realm was located. A golden light collapsed, causing the entire Source Energy Array to tremble and shake the heavens and earth.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Fang Hai and the twenty Demigod Apex Puppets accompanying him were all blasted into the air by the collapsing golden light, looking utterly disheveled.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several formidable silhouettes emerged from the star realm entrance, each exuding a terrifying aura and overwhelming might.

"Kill!"

"Finally, they've broken through."

"Haha, this is the Flying Star of the Seven Stars Civilization! Let's fight!" Excited voices echoed through the sky.

A quantitative change leads to a qualitative change.

Hundreds of Demigods gathered, and the mere surge of invisible Source Energy was enough to deter the countless golden lights.

"So many Demigods?"

"Almost four hundred, that's too many," the Demigod from the Seven Stars Civilization thought with a hint of panic.

Although they knew that not all these Demigods could be at the Apex stage, even if they were all at the Junior stage, their combined strength would still be formidable.

Moreover, it was unlikely that they were all at the Junior stage.

"Over thirty Demigods at the Apex stage? And more than two hundred at the Intermediate stage?" Li Yuan scanned with his Divine Palace Panel, feeling his heart sink.

There were too many of them!

The number far exceeded what the Seven Stars Civilization could handle, even with the help of the Source Energy Array and forty Demigod Apex Puppets... It would be difficult to withstand such a terrifying army of Demigods.

At this moment, Li Yuan couldn't think of a way to win this battle.

Even if Liu Bing used those two 'Treasures,' it would still be difficult to win this war... The Demon Realm Civilization had won by sacrificing countless lives.

"Hahaha, reinforcements have arrived! Fang Hai, you're done for! Wait until this Source Energy Array is broken, and I'll see how arrogant you can be!" He Mu Demigod was thrilled.

At that moment—

"Whoosh!"

Fang Hai, who had just been blasted into the air by the combined efforts of the Demigods, suddenly moved. A silver miniature sword appeared in his palm.

The miniature sword's radiance intensified, and intricate secret patterns on its surface began to glow, releasing a terrifying power.

The pressure in Fang Hai's area intensified to an extreme level.

"Whoosh!"

A massive sword light shadow appeared in front of Fang Hai.

"What is this?" Li Yuan held his breath.

"What is that?"

"What is that? Another one?" The Demigods from the Demon Realm Civilization felt a hint of panic.

"Go!"

Fang Hai's eyes flashed, and he brandished the miniature sword in his palm. The sword light flashed and shot directly at He Mu Demigod.

This was Fang Hai's life-saving trump card.

Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't use it.

Fang Hai had two choices: attack He Mu Demigod and Night Shadow Demigod, or attack the hundreds of Demigods from the Demon Realm Civilization.

Fang Hai made the same choice as Li Yuan—to eliminate the top-tier powers first.

"Not good!" He Mu Demigod exclaimed, as the sword light crisscrossed through the heavens and earth, too fast for him to react. He could only swing his divine staff, attempting to block the attack.

"Condense!"

The weakened Night Shadow Demigod exerted himself, summoning his domain once more, forming a vast black mist in front of the two of them to aid He Mu Demigod.

"Whoosh!"

The sword light slashed through the heavens and earth, splitting the massive black mist in two. The divine staff, brimming with endless power, was blasted away, and He Mu Demigod's body was torn apart by the sword light.

The residual sword light's impact tore both halves of their bodies apart, turning them into a cloud of blood mist.

He Mu Demigod, the Demigod Limit - Half-Deity Boundary strong Demigod from the Demon Realm Civilization.

"Boom!"

The remnants of the sword light continued its path, slicing towards the not-so-distant Night Shadow Demigod.

"Not good!" Night Shadow Demigod's expression changed, "He Mu has fallen, and he still wants to kill me?"

"Whoosh!"

Night Shadow Demigod instantly transformed into a black light, dashing backwards to avoid the terrifying sword.

His speed was fast, but the sword light was faster.

Night Shadow Demigod's intention was not to escape but to—delay time and find a scapegoat.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

When Fang Hai unleashed his treasure, the hundreds of Demigods from the Demon Realm Civilization had already taken action.

They were too far away to attack directly, so they could only manipulate Source Energy to launch long-range attacks.

If the Demigods exerted their full strength, their attacks could reach hundreds of kilometers away.

Of course, the further the distance, the more difficult it was to manipulate Source Energy, and the power would diminish.

"Rumble!"

Source Energy beams crisscrossed the sky, striking the terrifying sword light, but they were all dispersed by the sword light, which continued to consume the energy.

In an instant,

"Whoosh!" The greatly weakened sword light finally descended upon Night Shadow Demigod's head.

"Kill!" Night Shadow Demigod also brandished his Celestial Artifact, trying his best to block the attack.

He was immediately knocked back, and his arms couldn't withstand the terrifying power, causing them to explode.

The Celestial Artifact in his hand was also flung away.

With one attack, Night Shadow Demigod was heavily injured, even with the protection of the Celestial Artifact, and it would take a long time to recover.

The remnants of the sword light's power also dissipated.

"I'm not dead."

"Haha, I survived." Night Shadow Demigod's heart was filled with excitement. What was a severe injury? As long as I'm alive, I can recover."

"I'm heavily injured, my Origin Core has consumed most of my Source Energy, and my strength is now equivalent to a Demigod Apex." Night Shadow Demigod's mind raced with thoughts: "My performance is enough... I'll return and cultivate."

"Whoosh!" He dashed towards the Demon Realm Civilization's army.

As long as he entered the star realm passage, no one would dare to pursue him.

...

With one treasure, He Mu Demigod was killed, and Night Shadow Demigod was heavily injured. The Demon Realm Civilization had lost two of its strongest Demigods.

In the depths of Flying Star, approximately a thousand kilometers from the Primordial Energy Array, a golden-robed figure silently awaited within a secluded chamber.

"Master, should I take action?" The golden-clad figure spoke in a deep voice.

"No!"

A white-robed shadow appeared in the chamber and whispered, "It hasn't reached the true brink yet. Our master's intentions...are beyond our comprehension. Let's await orders."

"I'm concerned that if this continues, more Demigods will perish," the golden-clad figure said.

"Even if ten or twenty Demigods die," the white-robed shadow shook its head, "Without orders, we cannot act."

"When it's time to sacrifice, we must do so," the white-robed shadow whispered.

"Yes."

...

As the Demon Realm Civilization army pressed on, despite the Seven Stars Civilization's desperate resistance, in a very short time, their defenses began to crumble.

Casualties emerged once more.

"Bang!"

A warhammer sent Yan Cheng's warblade flying, and a lightning-fast spear pierced his chest, inflicting severe injuries.

"Argh!" Yan Cheng roared, his body engulfed in flames as he struggled to push his battle prowess to the peak.

Yet, he was completely overwhelmed by the surrounding group of Demigods.

The Demigod, who possessed a portion of the True Phoenix bloodline, swiftly approached his life's end.

"Yan Cheng!" Lant Demigod, who had been overseeing the array, sighed inwardly.

These fallen Demigods were his juniors.

"Yan Cheng Demigod."

"Yan Cheng," the other Seven Stars Civilization Demigods echoed anxiously.

"Power!"

"My strength is still far from sufficient. If I could break through and become a Demigod, perhaps I could turn the tide of battle," Li Yuan's heart filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Of course, Li Yuan also understood.

Time was too short. Even if he immediately broke through and became a Demigod, he wouldn't have time to cultivate several Astral Arts to the fourth-stage limit...facing the current situation, victory was impossible.

Compared to Li Yuan, Fang Hai's heart was filled with anguish.

"Teacher, you entrusted me with the entire civilization, yet I..." Fang Hai's heart was filled with anger and self-blame, "Do we really have to execute the second plan?"

The first plan was to hold back the Demon Realm Civilization army at the Demon Mountain Star Realm.

The second plan, if they couldn't hold them off, was to execute the 'Great Migration Plan,' where all Demigods would retreat into the starry sky, awaiting Fang Hai's command. It was predicted that the Seven Stars Civilization wouldn't be annihilated, but the casualties would be immense.

"Li Yuan has performed exceptionally well. How old is he? He's just a junior, and I, as his senior, am not strong enough!" Fang Hai clenched his teeth.

His heart was filled with urgency, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind as he contemplated a solution.

Suddenly—

"Boom!" Sanye Demigod, who had been engaged in battle, was struck by a peak-level Demigod from the Demon Realm Civilization, causing her life force to plummet instantly.

"Capture her!"

"Subdue her!" More Demigods from the Demon Realm Civilization surrounded her with sinister smiles.

Sanye Demigod was at the brink of life and death.

Upon witnessing this, Fang Hai's heart, already filled with self-blame and resentment, finally erupted.

Uncontainable anger and fear surged within him.

"Kill!" Fang Hai's heart roared, and endless killing intent instantly flooded his being.
