Chapter 1541: The Son of Darkness (1/2)
On the seven dead stars that surrounded the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
The broken teleportation portals left behind by various human sects were repaired by the Devils and Netherspirits.
Through them, powerful experts from the Void World infiltrated the human world with the help of the Demons, Phantasms, Fiends, and Bonebrutes.
Together they had more than a dozen grand monarchs, each of whom would be able to easily dominate any human domain that wasn’t protected by God domain experts.
The Domain of Frigid Depths, the Domain of Nine Twists, the Domain of Dark Marsh, the Domain of Heavenly Illusion...
Human domains fell one after another.
With the Demons, Phantasms, and Bonebrutes leading the way, the Devils, Bonedrudes, and Netherspirits sacked the human domains, and slaughtered all those who dared to rebel against them, only keeping and rearing the weak ones like livestock.
Within a very short time, more than a dozen human domains fell into the hands of the invaders from the Void World.
...
In the Realm of Crystal Snow, wisps of sword light hovered around Ye Wenhan’s sleeves as he received the latest news.
Frowning, he turned to Dong Li and said, “The Domain of Heaven’s Origin was just sacked. The Martial Spirit Sect has been razed to the ground, all of their disciples at the Void domain or higher butchered.”
Dong Li sighed. “The Martial Spirit Sect.”
She had learned from Nie Tian that he had a fairly good relationship with the Martial Spirit Sect, since he had fought alongside Chai Longge and Chai Fengwu, the brother-sister pair, in the Shatter Battlefield.
“Why weren’t the disciples of the Martial Spirit Sect evacuated to a realm protected by a godly grand spell formation?” Dong Li asked.
Ye Wenhan smiled bitterly and said, “How many realms are there that are protected by godly grand spell formations? There are the main realms of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the Void Spirit Society, the Five Elements Sect, and a handful of sects like the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect and Profound Purity Palace. How vast is the human world? How many sects are there in it? How can we evacuate them all to safe areas?”
“That is true,” Ji Yuanquan chimed in.
As the outsiders from the Void World joined up with the outsiders from the Spirit World, humanity’s crushing defeat was almost inevitable.
After a thorough discussion, Dong Li and the other experts agreed that the main realms of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the Void Spirit Society, and the Five Elements Sect were currently the safest places in the human world. Even late tenth grade outsider grand monarchs wouldn’t be able to sack them within a short time.
Therefore, they would arrange for their elite forces that were out there in different domains to go take shelter in realms like the Realm of Fragmentary Star that were protected by godly grand spell formations.
By doing this, they hoped to ensure the survival of some of their sect or clan members.
At this moment, the black tortoise, which had been lying lazily on the ground, suddenly gave a jerk and became alarmed.
It looked up and cried into the heavens.
Dong Li’s expression flickered with astonishment as she immediately established soul communication with the black tortoise. Her gorgeous face gradually grew grim as she said to those around her, “Bad news. The Ripper Behemoth’s sealing magic on the Domain of Endless Snow is failing. The invaders from the Void World have arrived under Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ leadership. They’ve released a kind of outsider insect called Behemoth Crawlers to gnaw at the Ripper Behemoth’s flesh aura.”
Everyone gasped upon hearing these words.
The existence of the Ripper Behemoth was the reason why they were staying in the Domain of Endless Snow instead of other places.
Nie Tian had made it perfectly clear before leaving that the Ripper Behemoth would provide them with strong assistance in the upcoming battles.
In both the Domain of Heaven Span and the Domain of Endless Snow, the Ripper Behemoth had proved its ability to turn the situation around single-handedly.
The Ripper Behemoth joining them had given them great confidence.
But now...
“The Behemoth Crawlers were specially bred to deal with Star Behemoths. Those invaders brought them from the Void World.” Dong Li added with a heavy heart. “The Ripper Behemoth told the black tortoise to tell us that if we don’t take care of those Behemoth Crawlers, it won’t come out and help us fight.”
Ye Wenhan was in a fret as he asked, “Behemoth Crawlers? What the hell are they?”
“I’ve never heard of them either,” Ji Yuanquan said. Then, his eyes glittered as he added, “If the Behemoth Crawlers have undermined the Ripper Behemoth’s sealing and control of the Domain of Endless Snow, this is no longer a safe place for us. I suggest we arrange for our weaker members to go take shelter in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and the Void Spirit Society’s headquarters, while the rest of us stay and figure out a way to exterminate those Behemoth Crawlers.”
Dong Li took a look at him and said, “Those controlling the Behemoth Crawlers are a sub-soul of Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits and Devil and Bonedrude grand monarchs. And they’re joined by Grand Monarch Bloodlust, Grand Monarch Nether Channeler, and Grand Monarch Gray Bones. These are only the ones that we know. We don’t know if more mighty grand monarchs have arrived from the Void World. Do we have the confidence to exterminate the Behemoth Crawlers right under their noses?”
The whole crowd of powerful experts fell silent after hearing this.
WHOOSH!
