Chapter 388: Primordial Divine Armament! The Grand Array

Chapter 388: Primordial Divine Armament! The Grand Array

"Headmaster, be careful," Li Yuan repeatedly transmitted his voice, warning that once they pursued the Demon Mountain Star Realm, their strength would be significantly reduced without the support of the Source Energy Array.

On the other hand, the Demigods of the Demon Realm Civilization were no longer suppressed by the Source Energy Array, and their overall strength had slightly improved.

But Fang Hai had already disappeared into the Star Realm gateway, which was shrouded in a hazy glow.

"Bing, let's go," Li Yuan transmitted his voice directly to Liu Bing's soul.

Whoosh!

Without saying much, Liu Bing flicked her tail, her ten-meter-long body darted forward, and the surface of her wings shimmered with a green light, allowing Li Yuan to grab hold of her.

The two of them soared at an incredible speed and quickly rushed into the Star Realm gateway.

In terms of flight speed, Fang Hai was only on par with Liu Bing.

"Stop!"

The Demigod of Xue Bu gave a direct order, "Clean up the battlefield, recover from your injuries, and replenish your Origin Power immediately!"

"Yes."

The Tian Huo Demigod, Xue Long Demigod, and others were also well aware of their own situations. If they were to enter the Star Realm, their strength would be greatly reduced, and they would only cause trouble for Li Yuan and Fang Hai.

One by one, they sat cross-legged and began to consume various rare treasures, hoping to recover from their injuries as soon as possible.

After such a long period of battle, these Demigods had consumed a significant amount of Origin Power, and many of them were already severely injured.

They had temporarily driven back the Demon Realm Civilization's army, but it was unknown if the enemy would return. Naturally, they needed to recover from their injuries first and maintain their combat strength at its peak.

"Huff!" "Huff!"

"Huff!" Among the dozens of Demigod Apex puppets, nearly twenty were severely damaged. To restore their strength, they required powerful Artificers to refine and repair them.

The remaining twenty Demigod puppets, although their bodies were intact, had completely exhausted their energy sources. In the final stage, they had to rely on Divine Crystals to fight. Divine Crystals are precious, and now that the enemy has retreated, they cannot continue to use them. Moreover, the Demigod puppets are relatively slow and not adept at pursuit..." Therefore, the numerous Demigod puppets encircled the Star Realm entrance, restoring themselves in their original positions.

It took at least three months to fully replenish their energy sources, as they absorbed Origin Power from Heaven and Earth at an extremely slow rate.

However, the more they could replenish, the less they would need to consume Divine Crystals, which was naturally ideal.

Inside the Demon Mountain Star Realm, nearly three hundred Demigods of the Demon Realm Civilization fled into the Star Realm in a panic.

Before they could catch their breath, they saw a man who resembled a Demon God rushing along the hazy Star Realm gateway, causing their hearts to race with fear.

They had no choice; Fang Hai had slaughtered them mercilessly.

Over a hundred Demigods had perished, and nearly two-thirds of them had fallen by Fang Hai's hand.

"Don't panic!"

"Once we're out of the range of the Source Energy Array, Fang Hai's strength won't be as formidable as you imagine. He's not a true invincible Demigod." Dong Mo Divine Lord's voice echoed in the minds of all the Demon Realm Demigods.

"Surround him!"

"You hundreds of Demigods, if you join forces to besiege him, there's a chance you can kill him," Bei Yue Divine Lord's command also reached them.

In fact, even before the two Divine Lords issued their commands, many of the hundreds of Demon Realm Demigods had already reacted... Their panic was due to the sudden change in the situation, which caught them off guard.

"Besiege him!"

"Avenge us by killing Fang Hai!"

"If we continue to scatter and flee, he will defeat us one by one. We must stop him."

"Form the array!" In just a second or two, over a hundred Demigods gathered in one place, and Origin Power orbs simultaneously condensed in their palms. Following this, the orbs transformed into a vast stream of light that soared into the sky, charging towards Fang Hai, who was rushing towards them.

Although the hundred Demigods were only Intermediate and Junior Demigods, and their attacks were the simplest long-range ones, the combined might of their assault was terrifying.

This scene also startled Li Yuan, who had just entered the Star Realm gateway from a great distance.

Li Yuan wondered to himself that if he faced such an attack, the slightest carelessness could lead to his downfall.

"Tian Ya! Hai Yu!"

Fang Hai's figure became ghostly, and with a few swift movements, he dodged the massive stream of Origin Power light. His long blade sprang into action.

The blade tore through the sky!

In the vastness of Heaven and Earth, a path of water appeared out of thin air, frantically converging until it finally condensed into the blade light, directly dissipating the stream of Origin Power light in front of Fang Hai.

Boom!

Even without the support of the Source Energy Array, the combined attack of the hundred Demigods couldn't stop Fang Hai.

The strength Fang Hai displayed, while not reaching the level of 'Demigod Invincible,' completely surpassed the Demigod Apex.

"Kill!" Fang Hai's momentum was unstoppable as he attempted to close in on the group of Demon Realm Demigods, making it easier to slaughter them.

Unfortunately!

Boom! Boom! Boom! More Demigods of the Demon Realm Civilization ceased their retreat and turned to charge towards Fang Hai, immediately unleashing their long-range attacks.

Whoosh! A green stream of light slashed through Heaven and Earth.

"Rumble~" A wave of yellowish-brown light spread out, as Li Yuan arrived, and the Heaven and Earth River Domain enveloped the area.

"Roar~"

"Roar~" Nine yellow dragons swam in the Heaven and Earth River, doing their best to block the incoming stream of Origin Power light.

However, the nine yellow dragons were only at the Demigod threshold, and blocking the attacks from hundreds of Demigods was akin to a drop in the ocean.

Li Yuan's domain could only slightly weaken these attacks.

If Li Yuan had reached the Demigod level and cultivated the Heaven and Earth River to the fourth level, the situation would have been vastly different.

"Headmaster, let's retreat."

"Your Origin Power consumption is immense, and our strength is insufficient for a counterattack," Li Yuan transmitted his voice. "If the Demon Realm Civilization unleashes a few more treasures, you might not be able to withstand it."

"Moreover, the Demon Realm Civilization still has so many Demigods."

Fang Hai's eyes were filled with reluctance.

But he calmed down, knowing that Li Yuan's words were true.

Compared to the Demon Realm Civilization, their number of Demigods was too few, and he was their sole pillar.

Only with his breakthrough could they drive back the Demon Realm Civilization's Demigod army, allowing the Seven Stars Civilization to continue holding the Star Realm gateway... If they continued the pursuit, they might be able to kill a few more Demon Realm Demigods, but the risk to themselves would also skyrocket.

The closer they got to the Demon Realm Civilization's Star Realm gateway, the more dangerous it became.

"Alright! Let's withdraw.

"Fang Hai spoke in a deep voice."

Li Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. What he feared the most was Fang Hai relentlessly pursuing and killing in a fit of rage.

It was too dangerous.

At this moment, Fang Hai must not fail!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Fang Hai, Li Yuan, and Liu Bing instantly transformed into several streams of light and flew towards the rear.

"Attack!"

"Attack Li Yuan!" The Demi-Gods of the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization also attempted to attack the weaker Li Yuan... But they dared not engage in close combat, and their distance was too great, with their flying speed far inferior to Li Yuan's group.

Therefore, they unleashed two rounds of Essence Energy long-range attacks, which were blocked by Fang Hai. These Demi-Gods of the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization could only watch helplessly as Li Yuan and Fang Hai rushed into the Star Realm channel and returned to the Flying Star.

"Retreat!"

"The deity has ordered us to retreat from the Demon Mountain Star first."

"Retreat!" The massive army of the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization withdrew in an orderly manner, dividing into several teams, each maintaining a distance of over ten miles from the others to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

However, no further accidents occurred.

...

On the Flying Star.

Huff! Huff! Huff! Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and Liu Bing flew out of the Star Realm channel.

"We're back."

"The Alliance Leader has returned."

"Vice Alliance Leader Li has also returned." A wave of excited voices rose, and numerous Seven Stars Demi-Gods gathered around, surrounding Fang Hai and Li Yuan in the center. They all seemed excited.

Of course, they were mainly focused on Fang Hai.

"Alliance Leader, you're too strong!"

"Demi-Gods are invincible! Another Demi-God is invincible!"

All the Demi-Gods were clear that today's battle had turned the tide and led to the slaughter of so many Demi-Gods from the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization, and nine-tenths of the credit belonged to Fang Hai.

Many of their eyes burned with passion.

Too strong!

Even the older Demi-Gods like Xue Long and Xue Bu couldn't help but recall the scenes from over a hundred years ago.

During the Battle of the Flying Star, it was also a life-and-death situation, and when the entire civilization was on the brink of extinction, Dong Fang Jie stepped in and defeated the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization, laying the foundation for the Seven Stars Civilization.

Today, it was almost like a replay of that scene.

"Everyone," Fang Hai raised his hand, and the void immediately quieted down as everyone turned their attention to him.

In the past, many of the older Demi-Gods had some reservations about Fang Hai, after all, he was too young, and it hadn't been long since he became a Demi-God.

Furthermore, his rise to the position of Vice Alliance Leader and Alliance Leader was largely due to Dong Fang Jie's support behind the scenes.

In the eyes of many Demi-Gods, after Dong Fang Jie's fall, Lan Te was more qualified to be the Alliance Leader. Even if it was eventually given to Fang Hai, it should have waited for at least a decade.

But after today's battle, all the Demi-Gods of the Seven Stars Civilization were convinced.

Strength!

Only overwhelming strength could command respect.

"In today's battle, we fought with all our might and barely won. Three Demi-Gods died in the process," Fang Hai said gravely. "The Ten Thousand Devil Civilization's army has temporarily retreated... But we can't be complacent and must continue to guard here for some time."

"Does that mean the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization's army still dares to counterattack?"

"With the Alliance Leader's strength, the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization should give up their invasion."

"The Ten Thousand Devil Civilization has only publicly acknowledged one Demi-God-level powerhouse, but today, they revealed two, and one of them was killed. The other is likely severely injured."

"They lost over a hundred Demi-Gods, and more than thirty of them were at the peak of the Demi-God realm."

"With such heavy losses, do the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization dare to continue fighting?" Several Demi-Gods spoke up one after another.

In their opinion, Fang Hai's displayed strength was enough to make the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization retreat.

"No!"

"In terms of true strength, I'm still not as strong as my teacher was back then," Fang Hai said solemnly. "My teacher didn't have the Essence Energy Battle Array back then... That's why the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization was so terrified, and they dared not fight again."

"If the Essence Energy Battle Array is broken..."

"With hundreds of Demi-Gods from the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization working together, it would be difficult for me to win with my true strength," Fang Hai shook his head, clearly aware of his own capabilities.

The numerous Seven Stars Demi-Gods fell silent.

"Do we have to keep guarding like this? How long will it take?" Tian Huo Demi-God couldn't help but ask.

"That won't be necessary," Fang Hai said. "It should be around two to three years, or at most, about ten years."

Fang Hai estimated that in two to three years, his Essence Energy would reach level 47, and his strength would truly be worthy of the title 'Demi-God'.

As for the so-called ten years, it was Fang Hai's estimation of when Li Yuan would likely break through to become a Demi-God. With Li Yuan's demonstrated rate of progress, even if his Law Insight didn't reach the False Deity level, his strength would likely approach that of a Demi-God.

Only then could the Seven Stars Civilization truly be considered stable.

"Secondly," Fang Hai continued, "The Ten Thousand Devil Civilization has a limited number of Demi-Gods. If they continuously gather a large number of Demi-Gods for an attack, it won't be possible to keep it a secret."

"Once their Demi-God army disperses, we won't need to be so tense," Fang Hai said.

The Demi-Gods suddenly realized.

Suddenly, a golden-haired elder flashed by—it was Lan Te Demi-God. "Everyone, for the sake of our civilization's safety, we must guard here, not just for two to three years, but even for ten or twenty years if necessary."

"Let's all rest for now."

"In a few days, after everyone's injuries have healed, we'll hold a celebration banquet here," Lan Te Demi-God said.

The Demi-Gods nodded in agreement and then dispersed to different areas to cultivate.

Only Fang Hai, Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Lan Te Demi-God remained.

"Principal, congratulations," Li Yuan said. "Your sword skills, if I haven't sensed it wrong, should have reached the level of a Divine Realm."

"Divine Realm?" Lan Te Demi-God was slightly surprised.

"I know I can't hide it from you," Fang Hai shook his head. "My Law Insight has just reached the upper echelons of the seventh stage. In terms of true Law comprehension, you are the highest in our civilization... I won't hide it from you, the reason I can unleash such strength is because of this weapon in my hand."

"A weapon?" Li Yuan curiously stared at the battle sword in Fang Hai's hand.

During the previous battle, this battle sword had displayed terrifying power, but now it seemed restrained.

"It's a Divine Realm Weapon," Fang Hai said directly. "I brought it from the Nine Leaves World. As for its specific effects... you'll naturally understand once you venture into the Nine Leaves World yourself."

"Mhm," Li Yuan nodded, remembering the phrase 'Divine Realm Weapon'.

Lan Te Demi-God listened from the side, secretly sighing.

He hadn't ventured into the Nine Leaves World, but he had heard of Divine Realm Weapons.

However, for Lan Te Demi-God, the stronger Fang Hai and Li Yuan were, the better.

"Li Yuan," Lan Te Demi-God turned to Li Yuan. "In the short term, the Ten Thousand Devil Civilization's army shouldn't invade... Now, we need you to take action."

"To rescue the other planets?" A cold light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

"Yes!" Lan Te Demi-God nodded. "We've received distress calls from the various planets and even the Flying Star. Your three thousand Flying Star Puppets have played a significant role."

"However, the Ten Thousand Devils Civilization's invasion this time is too massive, with tens of thousands of Flying Sky Realm experts. It's as if they're courting death." Lant Halfgod shook his head, "Even if the Demi-Gods from various planets fight with all their might, with so many Flying Sky Realm experts invading simultaneously, it's impossible to stop them all."

"So far."

"Our Seven Stars Civilization has already killed over ten thousand Flying Sky aliens." Lant Halfgod spoke solemnly, "But there are still thousands of Flying Sky aliens who have sneaked in... and it's foreseeable that even more will continue to invade."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Any third-rank Star Realm would dispatch a Demi-God to guard it... But many Star Realm entrances are vast, stretching for hundreds of kilometers.

Normally, numerous Flying Sky Warriors patrol, and Essence Energy Arrays are on alert.

In the event of a Flying Sky invasion, the guarding Demi-God can arrive within half a minute, which is enough to kill the invaders.

But now...

Hundreds or even thousands of Flying Sky aliens are rushing out of a single Star Realm passage... Even if a Demi-God can kill dozens or hundreds of Flying Sky Realm experts with a single move, as long as one-tenth of the Flying Sky Realm experts break through the defenses, the total number is still astonishing.

"Alright."

"I'll head back to Blue Planet first and infiltrate the Ten Cold Star Realm." Li Yuan said, "Xiao Bing will go to Tianhai Star, and then we'll launch a large-scale sweep."

The other Demi-Gods could only guard the entrances of the third-rank Star Realms.

But Li Yuan and Liu Bing were capable of directly infiltrating third-rank Star Realms... They could slaughter a large number of Flying Sky aliens before they even had a chance to invade.

They were absolutely unstoppable.

Demi-Gods were already scarce in third-rank Star Realms, and even if they encountered a Demi-God at the peak of their strength, Li Yuan and Liu Bing's individual power was enough to engage in battle.

A Demi-God at the extreme limit of power? How many such super-powerful experts could there be in the entire Ten Thousand Devils Civilization? Li Yuan didn't believe that such a powerful expert could emerge from a third-rank Star Realm.

"Liu Bing, I'm counting on you." Lant Halfgod also cupped his hands towards Liu Bing.

He was well aware that Liu Bing was a Heavenly Serpent, destined to become a Deity in the future... Even as Li Yuan's spiritual beast, she deserved respect.

Liu Bing nodded slightly, also enjoying the feeling of being respected.

Huff! Huff!

After Li Yuan sent a message to Liu Bing, the two quickly departed.

...

Inside another heavenly treasure.

This heavenly treasure was not as impressive as Li Yuan's Divine God treasure, but it was still an Ethereal Artifact, a top-grade treasure that Fang Hai had obtained in the Nine Leaves World.

The Three Leaves Halfgod sat cross-legged in the center of the hall, meditating to heal her injuries. Her previously broken arm had fully recovered.

Huff!

A black-armored figure appeared out of thin air.

"Three Leaves Teacher." Fang Hai looked at the Three Leaves Halfgod, his mind slightly dazed.

"Fang Hai, thank you." The Three Leaves Halfgod opened her eyes, "Back then, I was only following the Alliance Leader's orders to teach you for a while. You really don't need to keep calling me Teacher."

The Three Leaves Halfgod's voice was very gentle.

"Alright, then I'll call you Three Leaves." Fang Hai showed a slight smile, "Back then, when I was attacked by aliens, you saved me. This time, I'm repaying the favor."

The Three Leaves Halfgod was taken aback.

"Alright."

"Three Leaves, continue to recuperate. I won't disturb you. If you want to leave the heavenly treasure, just send me a message." Fang Hai said, and then he disappeared within the heavenly treasure.

...

Although the Seven Stars Civilization had lost three Demi-Gods, everyone was still excited and thrilled that they managed to hold their ground in this great battle.

On the other hand, the atmosphere within the Ten Thousand Devils Civilization was completely different.

Magic Mountain Star.

"We lost." The Dome Gold Deity shook his head and sighed, "It was Dong Fang Ji back then, and now it's Fang Hai. So many deaths... How can the Seven Stars Civilization, which has only risen for a few hundred years, have so many formidable existences?"

The Dome Gold Deity felt helpless.

He had lived for thousands of years, traversing the Mundane Domain, witnessing the rise and fall of countless civilizations.

But a Demi-God of invincible strength? He had only seen two: Dong Fang Ji and Fang Hai.

Even in the Immortal Ruin Civilization, the Red Sun Civilization, and the Ten Thousand Scarlet Clouds Civilization, in the past ten thousand years... there had been no news of the birth of an invincible Demi-God.

For a Demi-God to reach invincibility, they must achieve extremely high levels in three aspects: Law Perception, Star Technique, and Essence Energy cultivation. Only then is there hope for such a birth.

"We haven't lost yet." The Eastern Devil Deity spoke in a deep voice.

"Eastern Devil, give up." The Northern Moon Deity looked at the Eastern Devil Deity, "With Fang Hai's strength, even if we gather more Demi-Gods, five hundred or six hundred... it's still difficult to win."

"To deal with a Demi-God at the extreme limit of power, numbers alone won't suffice."

"But against an invincible Demi-God... unless dozens of Demi-Gods at the extreme limit of power join forces, there's little hope." The Northern Moon Deity said, "Even if Sha Kun Demi-God returns, it's still difficult to win, and there's a possibility that Sha Kun Demi-God might lose his life."

"I won't allow Sha Kun to participate in the battle." The Dome Gold Deity spoke in a deep voice.

He was the most outstanding disciple, destined to become a Void Deity, so the Dome Gold Deity naturally wouldn't allow him to take such a huge risk.

Sha Kun Demi-God, although his Law Perception had reached the Void Deity Realm... his overall strength couldn't compare to an invincible Demi-God.

"Listen to me."

"Sha Kun's strength doesn't match an invincible Demi-God." The Eastern Devil Deity spoke coldly, "But you've all seen Fang Hai's formidable battle prowess in the Magic Mountain Star Realm. Can that be considered invincible?"

"Fang Hai's formidable battle strength relies solely on the Essence Energy Array left behind by Dong Fang Ji."

"Once the Essence Energy Array is broken, with Sha Kun's strength, even if he can't defeat Fang Hai, he can definitely restrain him." The Eastern Devil Deity spoke solemnly, "With our hundreds of Demi-Gods attacking in unison... the Seven Stars Civilization won't be able to withstand it."

"But how can we break the Essence Energy Array?" The Dome Gold Deity shook his head, "We've tried before, haven't we?"

"Over a hundred Demi-Gods attacked together, but they couldn't break the array."

"To break the array, we must spend a significant amount of time searching for the array's foundation and then break it down one by one." The Dome Gold Deity said, "But will Fang Hai give us the time?"

"The risk is too great." The Dome Gold Deity shook his head.

The Northern Moon Deity remained silent.

Although she had a better relationship with the Eastern Devil Deity, given the circumstances, she wouldn't easily support such a decision.

"I never thought of breaking the array directly."

"The Seven Stars Civilization has the Essence Energy Array." The Eastern Devil Deity's eyes flashed with determination, "Can't we set up another Essence Energy Array? Using an array to counter an array."

"Us? Set up an array?" The Dome Gold Deity was surprised, "Do we have such an array in the Ten Thousand Devils Civilization?"

"We don't, but that doesn't mean other civilizations don't." The Eastern Devil Deity looked at the Dome Gold Deity, "The Immortal Ruin Civilization's Void Primordial Array?"

"That's the Immortal Ruin Civilization's clan battle array."

"Will they lend it to us?"
