Chapter 472: Chapter 378: Homecoming, Immortality (Part 2)
After spending half a day at Sui He’s residence, Shen Wang obtained the ownership of the space rift. An array had already been set up near the rift, and a city had been built, originally intended to accommodate adventurers.
Shen Wang immediately went to take over the city and the array; Sui He personally led the way and arranged the handover, and everything progressed smoothly.
"Shi, the passage within this space rift is not stable enough. If you must go through, you must be extremely cautious," Sui He warned. "I suggest you don’t go. The laws of the heavens and earth there are different, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is thinner than here. Although there aren’t any powerful opponents, you might still get injured by a space collapse, or by arrays set by the natives."
"Thanks for the information, I’ll definitely take care," Shen Wang nodded, beginning to accept this special asset.
The next day, Shen Wang dismissed all the adventurers, leaving only a few Rakshasa people responsible for maintaining the array and knowing the situation of the space rift, then started modifying the array and studying the space rift.
After several days of research, he sent two Rakshasa, along with a magical treasure containing a wisp of his Divine Split, into the space rift.
On the other side of the space rift, a month ago.
Within a dim barrier, the Black Lotus Avatar watched a mass of demonic shadows surge from the dark demonic mist.
"Another group of adventurers has come, truly unafraid of death." Shen Wang silently took note of the numbers, finding this time’s survival rate significantly higher than when they first came, causing his heart to sink.
The space passage seemed to have further stabilized.
He looked into the distance, where adventurers were constructing fortifications and training on newly occupied land; the strength of the demon race army was clearly increasing.
"Things don’t look optimistic, if it continues like this..."
After this brief skirmish, the Ning Country Cultivation Realm fell into a tense and busy atmosphere. Sect leaders urgently convened meetings to discuss countermeasures.
"This expansion of territory by the demon race poses a significant threat to our Ning Country Cultivation Realm. We must quickly contact surrounding cultivation forces and form a larger alliance army to have a chance of victory," an elderly sect leader said solemnly.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Thus, groups of cultivators set off with letters and sincerity, rushing in all directions, attempting to persuade other forces to unite against the demon race.
Meanwhile, the demon race camp was also a scene of busyness. Recently arrived demon race commanders gathered together to plan their next actions.
"Hmph, those cultivators may appear prepared, but they are actually weak. Once we gather all our forces, we will annihilate them in one fell swoop and completely occupy this land." A tall demon race commander, exuding an evil aura, laughed maniacally.
Day by day, the Ning Country Cultivation Realm’s efforts in establishing contacts achieved some results, with several small forces expressing willingness to join the alliance army. However, these forces still seemed somewhat weak compared to the vast demon race.
Finally, on a dark, cloudy day, both sides felt that they were adequately prepared, and a more brutal war was on the verge of breaking out. On the battlefield, the demon race army surged like a black tide, their battle cries and roars shaking the heavens and the earth. The Ning Country Cultivation Realm alliance army stood ready; the brilliance of magical treasures flickered, and magic intertwined.
"For the Ning Country Cultivation Realm, charge!" The alliance army commander shouted in anger, leading the charge against the demon race army. The two sides immediately clashed, turning the ground red with blood, while flashes of magic and the demon race’s demonic qi intertwined, casting an eerie and terrifying light across the battlefield.
Amidst the chaos, a powerful cultivator wielded a spirit sword, his gaze icy. He moved through the demon race as swift as lightning, his treasure sword cutting down the demons wherever it went.
But with the demon race being numerous and each one exceptionally strong, he gradually felt overwhelmed.
At this moment, a resounding bugle call suddenly came from afar. It turned out that another cultivation force had timely arrived, joining the battle. The battle situation immediately shifted, with the alliance army’s morale significantly boosted, starting to gradually turn the tide.
However, the demon race would not admit defeat easily. Among them, a Demon Venerable-level expert personally stepped in, releasing powerful magic power, attempting to destroy the alliance army’s defenses in one go.
For a time, the clouds and winds changed, with the demon race army gaining the upper hand, filling the world with an air of despair.
Facing such a powerful enemy, the Ning Country Cultivation Realm retreated step by step.
But after retreating a certain distance, a killing array suddenly appeared, trapping the Rakshasa Race Demon Venerable. Several Divinity Transformation Level ancestors from the cultivator alliance army surfaced, jointly killing the Demon Venerable.
This battle, under the intentional weakness and ambush of the alliance army, resulted in a great victory, not only holding the line but also successfully slaying powerful demon race figures, thoroughly defeating the majority of demon race adventurers.
News of the battle reached Kui Continent, and the already dissatisfied Sui He immediately decided to abandon the development of this space rift, opting to sell it.
Over the next month, Sui He continued to extract value from the space rift by selling tickets, deceiving a batch of adventurers to go there.
A month later, the ownership of the space rift was transferred to Shen Wang, and no more adventurers entered.
The Black Lotus Avatar of Shen Wang sensed the change and breathed a sigh of relief.
During this time, with his internal and external coordination, the Ning Country Cultivation Realm alliance army had the overall advantage, causing the Rakshasa Race and incoming adventurers to suffer greatly.
However, upon hearing that the Rakshasa Race Demon Saint intended to sell the space rift ownership, the Black Lotus Avatar grew anxious again.
Until the arrival of the two Rakshasa, the Black Lotus Avatar sensed the avatar, followed by memory sharing, and couldn’t help but smile.
Three days later, Shen Wang sealed his mana, successfully descended, returning to his homeland.
