While Ye Xiao was busy cultivating, in a different spatial zone...
This spatial zone seemed calm, but under this calm atmosphere, dark waves were surging, and the atmosphere was strange.
It is because this spatial zone was currently being swarmed by Heavenly Demons who were waging war against humans that entered this space. It also seems that the defensive line of the humans occasionally suffered a wave of impact from these Heavenly Demons.
Almost every day, the news of people being killed by Heavenly Demons would be spread out which ignites the flame of fear in everyone's heart.
The battle situation in this spatial zone was extremely intense. Both sides were constantly replenishing their strength and stamina to go to war once again. Almost all the elite experts of both races had joined the battle.
Such a battle situation had never happened in millions of years in the Land of Morning Stars, however, for some reason, the moment Gu Tianhao and others entered the Spatial Zone, they appeared in a spatial zone housed by Heavenly Demons that resulted in the beginning of a war.
Surprisingly, for an unknown reason, only Ye Xiao was separated from the group and no one could contact him.
Every day, there would be people who would die in this spatial zone. When the news spread out, it will definitely cause people in the Land of Morning Stars to mourn.
Minor Saints, who were usually high and mighty back in the Land of Morning Stars, had become very ordinary on the battlefield.
Dark clouds had covered the entire spatial zone.
In a secret chamber in an underground palace, four figures were standing in front of a light curtain. The scene of the spatial zone was displayed on the light curtain.
The four people were four Great Saints ad the main forces of humans in this spatial zone. Ye Xiao knew two of them. They were Formation God Tower's Master, Gu Tianhao, and Pill God Tower's Vice Master, You Fang. As for the other two, they were also two Great Saints.
Their brows were deeply furrowed. Obviously, the situation in the spatial zone was not good for the human experts who entered this spatial domain in order to explore it and if possible, obtain the treasure related to Time and Space.
"It seems like we have underestimated the Heavenly Demons. I never thought that these Heavenly Demons would be so powerful. They actually caused us to suffer such heavy losses in this spatial zone. If this situation continued to develop, I'm afraid that this battle... We might lose. It could be said that this battle is a war of destiny for us. Whether we live or die, our destiny will decide here. If this war of destiny is lost, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to the Land of Morning Stars anymore. Damn it! I really want to kill my way out now! Let's have a good fight with these Heavenly Demons!" You Fang said furiously. Although he was an alchemist, it doesn't mean his fighting strength is low. Just his cultivation base at the Major Saint Realm is enough to kill many Minor Saints.
Even Gu Tianhao and another Great Saint, Mu Dan, were emitting a gloomy aura. Obviously, they were also very angry.
Even the only Lady Great Saint, Su Xue's beautiful face had a trace of killing intent. "We weren't aware of the wild ambition of these Heavenly Demons before. It is only during our period here we found out what these Heavenly Demons are planning. They have been planning everything for a long time. This time, I'm afraid it will be a great disaster for our Land if we lose this battle here. Once we lose, the Land of Morning Stars might perish. Even with the support of many Great Saints or maybe even Heavenly Saints, we will lose the war if Heavenly Demons truly invaded our Land, the Land of Morning Stars. After all, the opposing forces have a Chaos Overlord Saint Realm demon who has yet to step on this battlefield. Maybe, he finds it boring battling us."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. They all were furious, but also helpless at the same time.
Gu Tianhao suddenly said, "Three of you, have you noticed a problem? This time, on the side of the Heavenly Demons, there were a total of ten Major Saints Realm demons and there were even a few who were at Great Saint Realm. On our side, only us four people are Great Saints and six people have Major Saint Realm cultivation bases. Our weakness is very obvious. That is why the Heavenly Demons' momentum was so overwhelming when they started attacking. They knew we are weak and this is also why they gained the upper hand from the start of the battle."
"Besides, have you noticed that their abilities are too demonic? These abilities are something we have never seen those damn Heavenly Demons having. It is as if those are not their abilities but special skills especially created for them by something else."
Hearing this, the other three Great Saints nodded their heads.
Mu Dan said, "I have also discovered this problem. It is indeed very strange. If Heavenly Demons really did get these abilities from someone else, what kind of strength that person or demon must have? I think we might not be able to stand in front of that person or demon even for a single minute."
Gu Tianhao nodded. He then continued to say, "That's right. This is exactly where my confusion lies. I have thought about whether there is an even more powerful race behind these Heavenly Demons. But if there really is a more powerful race, why are they not directly attacking our Land instead of using tricks and sending Heavenly Demons for invasion?"
The other three Great Saints again nodded solemnly. They were indeed worried about this and have no idea what exactly is going on.
You Fang suddenly said. "Master Gu, looking at the current situation, I'm afraid we will have to put all of our strength into this battle. Looks like the final trump card we've prepared after so many years of hard work is about to be used."
Gu Tianhao waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be anxious for the time being. That is our final trump card, and also the final key to deciding the outcome of the battle. For the time being, let everyone else hold on. We will remember those who sacrificed themselves for the Land of Morning Stars and our Human Race, and will definitely compensate their families."
"A calamity must be accompanied by countless amounts of fresh blood in order to calm down. Right now, other than waiting, we don't have to make any other choice."
When everyone heard Gu Tinahao, they nodded their heads solemnly. That was the only thing they could do.
"Oh right, Master Gu, have you been able to contact Ling Xiaolong? According to you, he is a monstrous genius. If he was here, he might have figured out a way to lay down a formation that could disrupt these Heavenly Demons' momentum for a short while and delay their attacks." You Fang suddenly asked.
Gu Tianhao laughed bitterly when he heard this. He shook his head and spoke, "I have no idea what happened with him. It has been so many years since he suddenly disappeared after stepping inside the Spatial Domain with us. Even the communication token I gave him never responded. He is either very very far away from us in a different spatial zone, or he is already dead."
"I don't know what the truth is, but I really hope Ling Xiaoling is alive and healthy."
Su Xue said at this moment, "Let us not talk about that whatever genius Ling Xiaolong. We must focus on what is in front of us and how to deal with this calamity."
Mu Dan nodded and supported Su Xue's words. He also said, "Yes, Lady Su is right. But... Only if we could figure out the location of the treasure related to Time and Space. At that time, we would have done anything to obtain that treasure. And once that treasure is in our hands, we would have been able to easily take care of these Heavenly Demons."
"Yes, that is true!" You Fang nodded. Then he sighed, "Only if we would have known beforehand that the appearance of the spatial zone is Heavenly Demons doing, and that these Heavenly Demons are planning to invade our Land once again after millions of years. We would have at least been prepared for this."
"It could not be helped." Gu Tianhao looked at the sky and muttered in a voice loud enough for the three people to listen, "After losing the last war millions of years ago, these Heavenly Demons have been hiding in this spatial zone since then and planning their next step. How could we have known about their plan? They were never in the Land of Morning Stars."
