Chapter 728 Return (4K)
Unlike the last time when the Undead army surged into the Red Mist Land in a grand parade.
Then, the black tide surged, with even the eyes of the Saint Realm tracking the black tide and witnessing the holy war that took place within the Red Mist Land.
This time,
the holy war erupted abruptly deep within the Red Mist Land.
Even the Twilight King did not perceive it beforehand, let alone those Saint Realm beings residing at incomprehensibly distant places.
The Saint Realm has the ability to project sight across infinite distances, traversing various great domains, but the prerequisite is... there must be an anchor point, a coordinate.
Existence in the Saint Realm is not omnipotent.
It's just that the Saint Realms of various nations are very concerned about the Twilight King, this 'monstrous powerhouse who appeared out of nowhere,' and among them, some saints are using various major methods to spy, to divine, hoping to obtain more information about the Twilight King.
After all,
although the Twilight King suffered a great defeat this time and returned looking particularly battered, in reality...
this True King is incredibly terrifying.
In the past several great calamities, it was rare indeed for a True King Realm existence to truly descend upon the territory of living civilizations.
Now, the Twilight King is one of them.
If this time the Twilight King hadn't chosen the wrong target, or rather, if Tianyuan City hadn't shown unexpectedly exaggerated power, the Twilight King would have already achieved its strategic goals.
"The battle at Tianyuan City was primarily because the leader of the Land of the Undead exhibited extraordinary great force, stubbornly withstanding a direct assault from a True King without falling behind."
"However, even with the alliance of Tianyuan City and the Land of the Undead, facing Dragon Sleep Valley and the Twilight King still poses a huge risk."
All the Saint Realms can see, despite the main force being the Undead Monarch and Angel King La Biss stationed at Tianyuan City, if not for the help from the Nirvana Divine Phoenix, Myriad Tide Dragon Venerate, Stone Heart Saint King all these legendary beings, the result of the battle at Tianyuan City could have been different.
If the Twilight King launches another all-out attack, Tianyuan City would still be on the verge of collapse, and if not enough reinforcements arrive, the city could still be breached.
However...
If they were the Twilight King, the next full-scale attack would definitely not choose such a tough bone like Tianyuan City to chew.
Conquering Tianyuan City might hold greater benefits for the Twilight True King, but equally poses huge risks.
"If the Twilight King chooses another target as a breakthrough, then it would be us in danger."
"We must be on guard in advance!"
"Fortunately, the power of the Twilight King's True King Realm has been exposed, otherwise having a True King lurking in the shadows waiting for a chance to strike could very well lead to the complete collapse of our lines."
"Now, we need to predict the Twilight King's trajectory, and if we can seize this True King's flaws, and gather forces when he next steps into the Land of Living Beings to eliminate him in one strike, then it couldn't be better!"
"Plan through!"
"Wait, how come I cannot detect any trajectory of the Twilight King? It's as if this True King has already fallen."
"Fallen? Ahaha, how is that possible."
...
At this moment,
Dragon Sleep Valley base camp.
The land has collapsed, with several black hole suns hung high between heaven and earth, mostly shattered, leaving only some black hole fragments floating, stubbornly devouring the surrounding red mist.
Duo Lai was panting heavily from exhaustion.
After all, she is merely at the Peak of Law Realm, Leaning on the Great Perfection, only able to unleash great force by the Devouring technique during a single battle thanks to her extensive consumption and resistance to the red mist, allowing her to instantly refine it like before...
Grasping the red mist in one swoop and refining it in an instant.
Although she was extremely tired, Duo Lai had also gained significantly.
"Hint: Your Path to Ascension 'Master of Devouring,' has increased by 25.6%."
"Hint: You have taken several more steps forward on the path of 'Master of Devouring,' and the Holy Road has now been advanced by 99.8%."
The completion of the Holy Road is soon to be expected.
When?
Just today!
Duo Lai's exhaustion was simply from using power beyond her own carrying limits, an overload indeed, she was burdened with multiple enormous black holes, devouring and refining everything.
In such circumstances, her body and God Soul are under immense pressure.
If it weren't for the burden, otherwise, given the great force of the 'Devouring Heaven and Earth' to devour and expand limitlessly, if Duo Lai were given enough time and left unchecked, theoretically she could devour a great domain, or even the entire Red Mist Land.
Of course...
With Duo Lai's rate of improvement, it may not be impossible to swallow and refine the Red Mist Land in the future.
After resting for a while, Duo Lai once again raised a round of 'Devouring Heaven and Earth Black Hole.'
This time, she only maintained this one black hole, aiming to cleanly devour all the remaining filthy fragments of the shattered land plates around...
Devour it all!
...
"Splash——"
Mu Yuan projected his consciousness across endless space, descending upon a high-order Night Raven and used this Spiritless Night Crow as a vessel, bringing his projection incarnation down.
He stood on this fragmented land.
He initially wanted to come in person, but Dead Bone absolutely forbade it.
Too dangerous.
Indeed, although he, Lord Shepherd, is only an ordinary Peak of Law Realm.
Mu Yuan observed his surroundings.
The entire Dragon Sleep Valley base camp has now become unrecognizable, leaving only the scarlet land plates, floating in the void layers of space.
Fighting this battle wasn't easy.
