Wu Kuang gritted his teeth. "Those demon bastards paid a huge price to storm our positions, all to open the ninth path to the Void Demon Battlefield. Damn it, and they still succeeded."

The prodigies of Blue Star had clashed with the powerhouses of the Void Demon Realm countless times, thwarting their attempts to open paths to the Void Demon Battlefield on numerous occasions. But a prolonged defense is bound to fail.

The powerhouses of Blue Star could be victorious a thousand times, but just nine failures would put their world at risk of being completely overrun. This was what made the Void Demon Clan so terrifying.

The Void Demon Clan’s power was simply too terrifying, their ranks overflowing with powerhouses. No matter how many times they failed, their core strength remained unaffected. After all, their true home was the Void Demon Realm. For the Blue Star Human Clan, however, every failure was a significant blow. This was why many of its powerhouses fell into Despair and willingly became lapdogs for the Void Demon Realm—they could see no hope of victory.

Zhao Yuanlong said, "I need you to sign the Noble Family Mobilization Order! We must unite all of Blue Star’s powerhouses to destroy the Void Demon Celestial Pillar and shatter these chains."

Wu Kuang’s brow furrowed slightly. "Will they agree? The Qianyuan Republic alone is no match for the Void Demon Clan."

The various races within the Void Demon Clan were constantly scheming against and slaughtering one another. Even on the Void Demon Battlefield, it was common to see one Void Demon army stand by and watch as another was surrounded and annihilated by the forces of the Human Race.

And yet, despite this, the Void Demon Clan still held a dominant position on the Void Demon Battlefield. If the Blue Star Human Clan didn’t unite, they stood no chance.

But the Blue Star Human Clan was rife with its own internal conflicts. The Three Great Empires constantly plotted against one another, while the other first-rate powers coveted their positions, always looking for a chance to usurp them. Under such circumstances, uniting to destroy the Void Demon Celestial Pillar seemed all but impossible.

Zhao Yuanlong stated icily, "They will agree. Because destroying the Void Demon Celestial Pillar is the key to Ascension to Divinity!"

After a moment’s thought, Wu Kuang said, "You’re right. They will indeed agree."

The Three Great Empires and the other major first-rate powers were all backed by Spirit Saints. They were the lofty figures who truly decided the fate of Blue Star.

Those powerhouses in the Spirit Saint Realm had already reached the peak of cultivation on Blue Star. The next steps were Demigod and Divine Spirit. Faced with a chance to ascend, those Spirit Saint powerhouses would go into a frenzy.

This ascension was a fundamental evolutionary leap. Even for a short-lived race like humans, evolving into a Divine Spirit Level powerhouse granted a lifespan of ten thousand years!

With the key to Ascension to Divinity now on the Void Demon Battlefield, the Spirit Saint powerhouses of the Human Race would absolutely agree to join forces and attack the Void Demon Clan.

Wu Kuang let out a soft sigh. "I hope we can destroy the Void Demon Celestial Pillar. If we do, we might win another few hundred years of respite."

A Great Power from the Void Demon Clan had already set its sights on Blue Star. Even if they destroyed the Void Demon Celestial Pillar, it would only delay the inevitable invasion.

Zhao Yuanlong said slowly, "A few hundred years is enough time for even stronger powerhouses to emerge on Blue Star. Perhaps one day, we can break free from the threat of the Void Demon Clan. Our sacrifices will not have been in vain!"

Wu Kuang gazed at a thin black line on the horizon, countless miles away. A complex emotion flickered in his eyes as he said slowly, "In this coming battle, I wonder how many more of the Qianyuan Republic’s finest sons will be sacrificed, their bodies left to rot on this land."

Zhao Yuanlong was silent for a moment before ending the call.

On another part of the Void Demon Battlefield, Shu Feng, commanding his Synthetic Beast Corps, had finally annihilated the Ghost Demon Race powerhouses stationed on the ten Skeleton Bridges.

’These ten Skeleton Bridges and this Bone Altar must be destroyed. That will delay the Void Demon invasion and buy the Brentania Republic time to react.’

’But before I do, I need to leave a Shuttle Gate here.’

Shu Feng surveyed his surroundings and stopped before a massive rocky mountain. With a wave of his hand, several Demonized Giant Earthworms appeared and began digging rapidly, excavating a huge cavern inside it.

Shu Feng went deep into the cavern. With a single thought, the Source Energy in his base was consumed at a frantic rate. Transparent tentacles surged out of the original Shuttle Gate, landing in the cavern and forming a new one, incredibly bizarre and one hundred meters tall.

A slight smile touched Shu Feng’s lips. ’I’ll set the exit of this Shuttle Gate to my Badge World. If anyone tries to force their way through, they’re in for a nasty surprise.’

"Source Energy +200,000!"

After Shu Feng destroyed the Bone Altar and the Skeleton Bridges, he gained a total of 200,000 Source Energy.

"Master! I want to evolve!"

The Steel Beast came before Shu Feng, holding up a round Golden Gemstone.

Shu Feng said, "This is the core from the chest of the West Asian Ancient God Guardian Statue. Alright, I’ll let you evolve."

"No, wait! Shu Feng, I learned something from Yin Yiluo’s memories. There’s a Ghost Demon Race Marquis’s territory nearby. He’s already been summoned to attack a city of the Blue Star Human Clan. Why don’t we take this chance to go raid his lair? I bet it’s full of treasure!"

In her loli form, Su Mi held a small cup of the Blood of the Divine Spirit and took a delicate sip. Her eyes flashed with excitement as she made the eager proposal.

That small cup contained a single unit of the Blood of the Divine Spirit. To Su Mi, this divine blood was not only incredibly delicious, but it could also drastically increase her power.

Right now, Su Mi’s only thought was to distinguish herself so she could earn more Blood of the Divine Spirit from Shu Feng.

"A Ghost Demon Race Marquis! Excellent! Let’s go take him down!"

A flicker of excitement also appeared in Shu Feng’s eyes.

According to the Blue Star Human Clan’s classifications, a Ghost Demon Race Marquis was a terrifying being whose power was comparable to that of a Human Race Half-Saint. On Blue Star itself, there were five great Void Demon Marquises, each presiding over a different powerful Void Demon faction. The Leader of the Void Demon Association was one such Void Demon Marquis.

Naturally, the power of a Ghost Demon Race Marquis on this Void Demon Battlefield couldn’t compare to the Void Demon Association’s Leader, who ran rampant on Blue Star. But as a Marquis of the Void Demon Clan, he was bound to be obscenely wealthy, with assets far exceeding those of a small human nation like the Leiyin Republic.

The Yin Ye Territory was the domain of the Ghost Demon Race’s Marquis Yin Ye.

’Humans, Sub-humans, Beastmen... the primary inhabitants of these Ghost Demon Race territories are still other races. Or rather, these other races are their slaves and vessels.’

Shu Feng slipped into the Yin Ye Territory while invisible. He saw humans, Sub-humans, and Beastmen living together, but the eyes of most were dull and numb.
