Chapter 492: Demon Sovereign



The leader of this assault operation was Minister Vastlight of the Immortal Court. Some of the immortals of the Numinous Sword Sect expressed displeasure at the Immortal Court taking the lead twice in this series of operations, but the Immortal Court said that they would allow the Numinous Sword Sect to lead if they had the right artifact to hide these large number of immortals.

Although the humans had a good springboard to attack the Demon Clan, the demons constantly monitored the high-rank realm. In order to sneak into the heart of the Demon Clan, the humans needed to use a powerful artifact or spell to hide themselves during the transition. The Immortal Court had the Spacetime Chessboard, which could shuttle through the folds of spacetime.

Unlike Ba Shifang’s Five Planet Pearl, which was composed of five pseudo realm artifacts, it was a true realm artifact from the treasury of the Immortal Court.

At this, the immortals from the Numinous Sword Sect became silent. They had a stock of realm artifacts, but their numbers paled in comparison to the Immortal Court. Not only that, they didn’t have a realm artifact that specialized in the Law of Space, much less the Law of Spacetime.

One immortal suggested the Immortal Court lent the Spacetime Chessboard to an emperor of the Numinous Sword Sect, but the Immortal Court rejected it. How precious was a realm artifact, especially one at the level of the Spacetime Chessboard? Once the Numinous Sword Sect got it, would they easily return it?

Don’t talk about the alliance of the two hegemonic forces. If there were enough benefits and little demerits, both sides would have no problem turning on the other.

“Alright, please enter the Spacetime Chessboard, everyone,” Minister Vastlight said. The seemingly plain wooden board emitted a faint light and shot out several rays. Whoever the rays touched, they would enter the chessboard.

Ye Chen felt a bright light fill his vision as the ray struck him. When the light died down, he found himself in a space similar to the Vast Void. The only difference was that he stood on a miniature planet less than ten kilometers in diameters.

He looked up and saw many other similarly sized planets floating at the same level. Including the one Ye Chen stood on, they numbered three hundred and sixty-one.

Several other immortals stood on the same planet Ye Chen stood on, but he didn’t notice them. No, Ye Chen was staring at the orderly manner of the planets in a trance. Although all the planets were the same, when lined in the orderly rows and columns, he felt a unique charm.

Ye Chen recognized that charm as the Law of Space and the Law of Time. He didn’t even need to guess that the true charm was the Law of Spacetime. Because he had not mastered the Law of Space, he could not sense it. Although regretful, Ye Chen seized the chance. He sat down in a lotus position and immediately stared unblinking at all the planets to comprehend the Law of Space.

A few other immortals also became entranced by the inner realm of the Spacetime Chessboard and sat down to comprehend.

Minister Vastlight said nothing about these true immortals. He only smiled in his heart. Do they really think it was so easy to comprehend the laws simply by staring at the formation of three hundred and sixty-one planets? Even if they could glean anything, he would suppress it to the maximum. Minister Vastlight didn’t mind his own people comprehending it, but it was a sin to allow the members of the Numinous Sword Sect to strengthen themselves. So, he could only treat everyone equally to avoid suspicion.

When he teleported everyone, all the immortal emperors appeared on the planet in the center with him. There, they could discuss the finer details of the operation. While the talks began, the Spacetime Chessboard left the confines of the high-rank realm.

Although a chessboard randomly appearing out in the void of the Divine Beast Pseudo Realm should have attracted the demons keeping watch, they ignored it, as if it didn’t exist. The Spacetime Chessboard soared through the void without emitting any fluctuations. Not even the demon kings noticed anything amiss when the Spacetime Chessboard passed them by.

The Spacetime Chessboard continued to slip through spacetime, avoiding the detection of all the demon patrols in its way until it reached the Void Continent, the headquarters of the Demon Clan. Once it reached its target, it waited hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. Just because the Spacetime Chessboard could conceal itself with the Law of Spacetime did not mean it was infallible.

Inside the Spacetime Chessboard, a three-dimensional replica of the Void Continent appeared. Of course, it was only a superficial copy made with information delivered by Donghai Longzi and what the eyes could see. There were many secrets under its barrier and layers.

“Everyone, construct the war formations!” Minister Vastlight commanded.

Unlike when Ba Shifang commanded a squad of immortals, the number of immortals used to form every war formation doubled. The aura of each war formation reached the peak of its level. If it was a monarch-level war formation, it would have the raw power of a peak fifth-step monarch. If it was an emperor-level war formation, it would possess the power of a peak emperor.

The goal of this assault operation wasn’t to conquer territory, but to deal a heavy blow to the Demon Clan. As such, the Immortal Court and Numinous Sword Sect focused on quality, not quantity.

In total, the two thousand and two hundred immortals formed only a hundred and eighty-nine war formations. Despite the drastic reduction in numbers, the overall combat potential had increased exponentially. If the one hundred and eighty-nine war formations faced the previous two thousand and two hundred immortals head-on, the current war formations would obtain victory ten out of ten times.

Most of the true immortals became part of the sovereign-level war formation led by the five immortal emperors, three from the Immortal Court and two from the Numinous Sword Sect.

Two sword emperors did not form a war formation. They would act as mobile units to fill in any gaps needed. Minister Vastlight also did not become part of the war formation. It didn’t matter to him since he had control over the Spacetime Chessboard.

“Prepare yourselves. I will teleport you out and immediately counter the Void Continent’s defense,” Minister Vastlight said. “Remember, the objective of this operation is to deal as much damage as possible. If you feel like you can’t defeat someone, just ignore them and focus on the weaker demons. Time will be short. Although the Spacetime Chessboard is powerful, the Demon Clan’s Void Continent is not any bit weaker. It might even be stronger. After the time limit, no matter what, I will teleport you all back into the Spacetime Chessboard and flee.”

The human faces on the war formation showed solemn expressions. Although it sounded easy, they were attacking the heart of the Demon Clan. How could it not be without substantial risks?

“Since everyone is ready, let’s begin.”

The Dragon Patriarch’s massive body formed a coil. With his eyes closed, he appeared asleep, but he was actually communicating with countless demons, including Demon Emperor Redraco. Because of the pressure from Tianyi, three of the Four Divine Beasts were dispatched to stabilize the front lines, but even so, it couldn’t stop them from pulling back countless times in the past few decades.

Were it not for the immortal emperors staring at the three of the Four Divine Beasts, the three of them would have joined forces to kill Tianyi. The only reason they maintained the current position was because the losses were still acceptable.

Currently, because of the depletion of demons on the front lines, he was urging the insect queens to produce more soldiers to be used as cannon fodders. Before, these insect queens would have jumped in joy at the chance to produce so many soldiers or offspring, but currently, they couldn’t help but feel like they entered hell. If there was a ranking list for how much a certain demon hated Xi Tianyi, these insect queens would definitely rank in the top three.

Day in, day out, the only thing they did was to produce cannon fodder. The worst part was that their output couldn’t keep up with the consumption!

“Who dares!?” the Dragon Patriarch shouted. He was just communicating with the insect queens regarding the next batch of cannon fodders, but a massive pressure suddenly enveloped the entire Void Continent. It wasn’t just him who shouted, but the Phoenix Patriarch and the Qilin Patriarch.

Their bodies appeared above the Void Continent. The Dragon Patriarch’s yellow-scaled body stretched thousands of kilometers. Although not as large, the Phoenix Patriarch’s wingspan also stretched hundreds of kilometers. The Qilin Patriarch possessed the smallest body, but he actually had the strongest aura of the three.

Normally, when the three appeared, they would receive countless gazes of veneration, but right now, the demons on the Void Continent only showed shock, fear, and rage.

Above the Void Continent, three hundred and sixty-one planets rained down. They didn’t directly smash into the Void Continent, but linger above. Each one was linked invisibly, and once they set into place, the space around the Demon Clan’s headquarters distorted.

“The humans actually dare to attack us here?!” Phoenix Patriarch asked, voice filled with disbelief. They never expected the humans to have such gall.

“No wonder the assault on the front lines intensified,” the Dragon Patriarch said. “They wanted to lure away as many demons as possible to make it easier for them to attack.”

“Hmpf, since they dare to come, we must not let them leave!” Qilin Patriarch said as he charged forward to meet the descending war formations.

Upon seeing the five leading war formations exuding the aura of a sovereign, the Qilin Patriarch’s gaze shifted to one of the peak emperor-level war formations. His body shifted, and he charged at the Golden Spirit War Formation of the Numinous Sword Sect.

Naturally, the five sovereign-level war formations moved to stop him. Unfortunately, the Qilin Patriarch’s body split into several afterimages, each one moving separately. Once they missed their first step, the five sovereign-level war formations did not take anymore actions and clashed with the Dragon Patriarch and Phoenix Patriarch. In their eyes, a single Qilin Patriarch would not be able to defeat an emperor-level war formation in a short amount of time. By then, the other emperor war formations will surround him and beat him back.

However, their expectations were destined to fall through.

The Qilin Patriarch appeared in front of the Golden Spirit War Formation and rammed his horn forward. At the moment before contact, his aura erupted, rising above the Demon Emperor Realm.

“Demon Sovereign?!”

“What? When did the Qilin Patriarch break through the Demon Sovereign Realm?”

Regardless of their shock and questions, the Qilin Patriarch’s horn connected with the Golden Spirit War Formation, launching it backward. The radiance of the war formation plummeted and its movement stalled.

The Qilin Patriarch wanted to seize the moment and destroy the Golden Spirit War Formation, but the other emperor-level war formation charged forward and attacked him. “Tch!”

From above, Minister Vastlight pursed his brows. However, they soon smoothed out. Their Immortal Court has immortal sovereigns, so it’s not strange for the Demon Clan to possess some. He glanced at the Dragon and Phoenix Patriarchs, wondering if they were hiding their true strength to unleash it at an optimal time.

His eyes scanned the Void Continent. He searched for the Black Tortoise. Their main objective was to slay this generation’s Black Tortoise. The Immortal Court knew that the Four Divine Beasts could unleash a special combination of innate ability, thanks to Xi Mengfei. The combination of three innate abilities was already terrifying. If the Black Tortoise used his, it would only become more powerful.

The Immortal Court planned to snuff this threat before it could harm them. Unfortunately, Minister Vastlight couldn’t locate the Black Tortoise.
