“Xueying, what should we do?” Jing Qiu asked anxiously.
“What can we do?” Dongbo Xueying shook his head. “If there were any way, I would have already acted. They have completely refined the Tree Sea World, establishing an incredibly solid foundation. All I can do is prepare, the more thorough the better. Unfortunately, the initiative is in their hands, and I can only wait. However, the longer we drag this out, the more advantageous it becomes for us.”
“Hmm.” Jing Qiu nodded.
Though outwitted—first by the Voodoo Arts, then by the Divine Fire Thunder of Demonbane—their purpose remained unshaken: the annihilation of the Xia Clan.
Yet, they were unable to launch a counterattack!
Both the Witch God and the Great Demon God were ruthless. The core zones within the Tree Sea World’s stronghold were now strictly forbidden to all underlings, and in truth, the Xia Clan had no spies among the Monster Race. Given the inherent racial divide, embedding agents was nearly impossible. The Monster Race managed to infiltrate the Xia Clan solely because Elder Orland had mastered the True Essence of Life.
…
Within the Xia Capital, the Xia Clan’s extraordinary beings were now quite excited because the explosion had occurred in midair outside the Spark Palace, and many had witnessed it. That terrifying explosion was easily suppressed and annihilated, which only increased their confidence.
“Our Xia Clan’s foundation is indeed extraordinary.”
“Our Xia ancestors, the deities, have truly made many preparations.” They were all very pleased. Jing Qiu’s magical projection and Palace Master Chen, who knew the truth, said nothing.
Dongbo Xueying’s matter remained a secret.
…
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Dongbo Xueying had been in the Red Stone Mountain for a full twenty-five years and had spent over twenty years on Red Dust Island.
“Gugugu~~~”
Within the fortress, a crimson lake was slowly evaporating, leaving only a faint pool of bubbling scarlet liquid. At its heart loomed an eight-meter-tall humanoid figure, radiating an overwhelming presence—each deep, resonant breath causing its chest to rise and fall with primal might. Beside the shore, the spectral visage of a colossal Demon God materialized, its laughter echoing like thunder:
**”Hahaha… At last, it is done. This vessel… is now perfected.”**
“I’ve been waiting for you,” said the golden-robed man’s ethereal image beside it. “Great Demon God, now that the body is ready, we can begin our plan.”
“Hmm, begin the descent.” The Great Demon God’s head’s ethereal image rumbled.
Boom~~~
Above the humanoid body, a vortex began to form, faintly connecting to the distant and ancient Abyss of Darkness.
The Abyss of Darkness was a domain on par with the Divine Realm, teeming with innumerable demons and Demon Gods, many of whom surpassed even the Great Demon God in might. While the descent of an ordinary Demon God into a “World Projection” would stir tremendous upheaval, the Great Demon God’s manifestation through a “Divine Projection” was exquisitely refined—its power meticulously restrained, not a whisper of energy wasted.
This was the mastery of control.
“Hua.”
A hazy crimson shadow flew out from the vortex and instantly entered the humanoid body. The humanoid body slowly opened its eyes, both of which were filled with crimson flames. Then, it directly floated upward, hovering in midair, its body beginning to transform. Two long curved horns grew from its head, its face became gaunt, and its body’s scaly lines began to change.
When the transformation was complete.
This terrifying Demon Body hovered midair, radiating an innate artistic elegance—or perhaps a martial grace that resonated with the very laws of heaven and earth.
“Boom!” Then, his entire body was engulfed in crimson flames.
The flames covered every part of his body.
Making it impossible to see clearly, only a humanoid flame figure stood in midair, then slowly descended, landing on the ground.
“Huh… breathing in the Material World… truly nostalgic!” The flame figure spoke. He casually waved his arm, feeling the endless powerful laws surrounding and binding him, even faintly repelling him. If he wished, a single thought could follow this repulsion, leaving this mortal world.
“The Material World, truly does not welcome me.”
“Everywhere there are laws binding me.” The flame figure gritted his teeth. “Fortunately, this physical body is of a native of this world; otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to descend. Even trying to enhance this body is suppressed.”
Descending as a Divine Projection was this stifling.
Completely suppressed!
The body was suppressed, the strength was suppressed, the speed was suppressed!
“But it’s enough. Even with just this half-divine limit strength, with my realm, killing some newly ascended deities is as easy as picking flowers.” The Great Demon God’s projection whispered softly.
“If I can slay newly ascended deities with ease, then you, the Great Demon God, must be far mightier than I.” Another figure strode forth—a man clad in golden robes, yet his gaze was icy and malevolent. It was indeed the projection of the Wushen. Though his talent was considerable, it paled in comparison to that of a supreme True Meaning transcendent. A being of such caliber could forge a peerless Divine Heart within three millennia.
But the Witch God had cultivated for an immeasurably long time before finally, with immense effort, shattered the barriers to reach the pinnacle of Divine Heart, ascending into the realm of the World Deity!
Yes.
As long as one masters a supreme Divine Heart, then with sufficient accumulation of divine power, one can continuously cultivate all the way to the First Heaven World God!
The Great Demon God had cultivated for an even longer span than the Witch God! His might surpassed all, for he was an ancient deity of the Second Heaven—a sovereign among World Gods.
“This time should be very easy.” The Great Demon God’s projection said. “But the only one I’m worried about is Dongbo Xueying. I asked the Temple of Time and Space, and they asked for a full five hundred thousand divine crystals, yet only gave one answer… Dongbo Xueying is still alive! He is still alive within the Red Stone Mountain. As for any information about his strength, there is absolutely none.”
“If the Temple of Time and Space possessed detailed intelligence regarding Dongbo Xueying’s combat prowess, such information would be valued at over five hundred thousand divine crystals,” declared the spectral projection of the Witch God.
They also wanted to know the Xia Clan’s strength and foundation.
But this intelligence was even more expensive!
They didn’t buy it, in their view, besides Dongbo Xueying, the Xia Clan wasn’t worth worrying about! And Dongbo Xueying was very cunning, always staying in the Red Stone Mountain. The Temple of Time and Space only knew he was alive, as for his strength? It was a mystery!
“Fear not, how long has Xue Ying Dongbo been in cultivation?” The Wushen projection scoffed. “We shan’t engage him with mere Divine Projections—our arsenal brims with war machines aplenty.”
“Hmm.” The Great Demon God’s projection was also very confident.
They had previously been worried about the one in the Earth Temple.
Still, there was concern about being obliterated when first establishing the spatial passage. After all, the opponent was a Third Heaven World God, possessing an immensely high realm—capable of arriving at the spatial channel in an instant.
But as long as the channel was successfully built, a large number of war machines would enter the Xia Clan’s world, and in their view, they would surely win!
“Move out!” commanded the Wushen.
“Go.” The Great Demon God also nodded. “I will pilot the warship.”
They didn’t even bring a single subordinate.
Because establishing the spatial channel had to be kept secret, the faster the better. And subordinates? Once the spatial channel was built, a steady stream of subordinates would arrive.
“Hu!”
Soon.
A small, deep red warship, only a hundred meters long, was silently piloted by the Great Demon God’s projection, leaving the fortress without a sound, even the naked eye couldn’t detect it. It silently left the Tree Sea World and entered the spatial interlayer.
It flew silently within the spatial interlayer.
Soon it pierced through the membrane and arrived at the Xia Clan’s world.
This was a vast desert!
The very spot selected by the Great Demon God and the Witch Deity (Wushen), this desolate land was ideal for covertly forging a passage.
The spaceship continued flying, yet it was completely invisible to the naked eye.
“Start preparing.”
“Activate.”
Everything happened in the void.
The Great Demon God and the Divine Witch joined forces, swiftly setting up the pre-prepared temporary equipment and activating it within mere moments.
“Boom!!!”
A terrifying power erupted suddenly.
It could no longer be hidden.
A dazzling gray pillar of light shot into the sky, tearing open the upper space into a hideous, gaping spatial channel. This spatial channel not only tore through the inner membrane but also completely pierced through the outer membrane of the entire Xia Clan’s world, connecting all the way to a distant other mortal world.
This massive commotion was instantly detected by the Xia Clan! The Xia Clan had been alert in all directions, but previously the Great Demon God’s realm was too high, and the Xia Clan had been unable to detect it.
“What a huge commotion, and it’s spatial fluctuation, the outer membrane has been pierced.” On a fishing boat by the seaside, an old man named Chao Qing, wearing dirty clothes, suddenly stood up. He took out his communication ring from his storage treasure for the first time since leaving the Red Stone Mountain, beginning to contact the Xia Clan for the first time since leaving Red Stone Mountain, “Palace Master Chen, this is Chao Qing!”
