While Ye Xiao was absorbing the Essence of the King, the Land of Morning Stars was in big trouble.
Lots of Heavenly Demons came out of the Spatial Domain and invaded the Land of Morning Stars. They wanted to break and wreck everything in this Land. Their appearance was like a big storm but with scary creatures instead of rain.
People in the Land of Morning Stars were really scared shitlessly. The Heavenly Demons had sharp claws and fiery eyes. They roared and stomped, making the ground shake. The sky got dark with their demonic energy.
All the powerful warriors in the Land of Morning Stars emerged, trying to fight back.
“Bang!” “Bang!”
“BOOM!”
“Ka-cha!”
“Ahhhh….” “Urghh…”
“I’ll kill you all demons.”
“How dare you demons invade our Land?”
“Send the message to all the overlord forces, tell them that Heavenly Demons has attacked.”
“Heavenly Sword Slash!”
“Myriad Ax Shadows!”
“Illusory Spirit Array!” ｂ𝚍ｎｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏｍ
“…..”
“…..”
Countless such sounds could be heard throughout the Land of Morning Stars. All the warriors, even those who were afraid of death, emerged to protect their loved ones. When the moment of destruction came, their weak heart became strong just by thinking of protecting their loved ones and the Land of Morning Stars from the clutches of Heavenly Demons.
With their weapons and brave hearts, they clashed with the Heavenly Demons, putting their lives on the line. Swords could be seen clanging against claws. Blood flowed everywhere like a river. Death shrouded Morning Stars and corpses could be seen scattered everywhere.
Countless brave warriors died trying to fight the Heavenly Demons. Seeing their death, the eyes of other warriors turned red. They were furious, they were angered. How dare these Heavenly Demons invade their Land, how dare Heavenly Demons wreak havoc in their territories, how dare these damn demons kill the brave warriors of this Land?
This was a war, a big war. Everywhere, the sound of noisy battle could be heard. Weapons were clashing against each other, every opponent was trying to kill the person standing opposite to them.
Houses and trees were destroyed in the fight. There were big booms and flashes of light in the five regions. The Heavenly Demons had dark skills and could turn things into dust.
The Land was in chaos.
And this was when heroes rose up. This was the moment when powerful warriors ruling the overlord forces or had similar strength stepped out, killing Heavenly Demons and protecting humans
However, these powerful warriors were very few in number, but the Heavenly Demons were tough and too many in number. They kept coming.
Countless cities and villages were in danger and were annihilated. People had to run and hide. The leaders of big sects tried to make plans to stop the Heavenly Demons. They talked in serious voices and made quick decisions.
In the middle of all this, friendships grew. People helped each other and stood together. They were scared, but they didn’t give up. They fought for their homes and families.
The war continued day after day. The Land continued to burn, homes continued to be destroyed, and people continued to die.
Just like that, a year went by. Two years passed. Five years passed.
The Land’s beauty had long faded into shadows. The Heavenly Demons’ attacks made everything look gray and sad. Rivers that were once clear turned muddy. Flowers that were once colorful wilted.
But hope wasn’t lost. Amid this darkness, amid this destruction, warriors came out even tougher than before, more resolute than ever before. Their hope was the only thing leading them to fight the war. They were prepared to sacrifice their lives just to give hope to the young ones.
The battle raged on for years. There were tears and cheers, pain and courage. The Land’s people were tired, but they didn’t stop.
The scars this invasion of Heavenly Demons brought to the Land of Morning Stars were not that easy to heal, however, they would eventually heal with time.
Nevertheless, this storm has to first stop. If not, the Land of Morning Stars will be destroyed completely.
This was when the news spread like a wave in all the regions in the Land of Morning Stars. The news was that the Cloudy Sky Region was the only one that did not suffer too much in this war.
The reason was the people of Illusory Spirit Gate. For some reason, everyone in this once-overlord force has become more powerful than before suddenly. Most importantly, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face who entered the Illusory Spirit Gate just a few years ago was the one who supported the entire Cloudy Sky Region alone.
He alone killed countless Heavenly Demons. In this war, he never once brandished his sword. He fought with his hands and body. His body was the sword itself. This person was scary.
This person’s name was Lin Hao. His cultivation is not that powerful, he has just become a Minor Saint Realm warrior. However, with his strength alone, he became the protector of the entire Cloudy Sky Region.
Heavenly Demons are still there, wreaking havoc. However, if Lin Hao heard any news about their appearance, he would go to that place and erase these Heavenly Demons’ existence from the surface of this Land.
However, no matter how powerful, a person alone could never become the pillar of the entire world.
Here was the same case. Although Lin Hao was powerful, he could not protect everyone. If he is fighting in one place, another place would be attacked by Heavenly Demons.
But even so, no matter what, the Cloudy Sky Region was the safest.
Knowing this, people started migrating to the Cloudy Sky Region. They came from all directions, hoping to get the protection of overlord forces in the Cloudy Sky Region and mainly from Lin Hao.
A meeting was fixed among all the overlord forces of other regions at this time. They decided to talk about something very important. Something, that could keep them alive and give them protection from the Heavenly Demons.
…..
╠ Sky Thunder Region ╣
Unlike the other four regions, the Sky Thunder Region stood out as the most unique. This was primarily due to a forbidden ground within this region that even the Heavenly Saints would not dare to rashly enter. This forbidden ground was known as the Sky Thunder Valley.
However, the situation had evolved to the point where numerous powerful individuals were gathering within the Sky Thunder Valley.
In fact, describing them as being forced to gather here would not be inaccurate.
These individuals hailed from the overlord forces, first-rate forces, and second-rate forces of the four regions. These regions were the Red Sky Region, Sky Thunder Region, Blood Sea Region, and Star Forest Region. The Cloudy Sky Region was the sole exception, with no one present.
At this moment, thousands of people have already assembled in the Sky Thunder Valley, yet an eerie silence was dominating this place. The fear of drawing the attention of potential Heavenly Demons that might venture into the Sky Thunder Valley kept everyone silent.
None dared to venture deeper into the Sky Thunder Valley, for it was rumored that once inside the Sky Thunder Valley, escaping might be impossible. Consequently, these experts had gathered on the fringes, positioned at the border between the outer and inner perimeters of the valley.
Rumble~
Rumble~
The continuous rumble of thunder and lightning could be heard everywhere in the Sky Thunder Valley. The sky wore a somber hue, intermittently illuminated by flashes of silver lightning. The palpable aura of destruction hung in the air.
Fortunately, given their location at the border of the inner and outer perimeters, the thunder and lightning, though impressive, were not destructive enough to harm these experts.
“Everyone…”
At this juncture, an elderly man at the Great Saint Realm, who also held the mantle of leadership over an Overlord Force, soared approximately ten meters above the ground. He maintained this altitude and did not fly too high, cautious of the threat posed by the thunder and lightning constantly rumbling in the sky.
Locking his gaze on the crowd below, he spoke, “…each of us has journeyed here from one of the four regions. The purpose behind our gathering is quite simple, it is to enter the Cloudy Sky Region.”
“Because of the Heavenly Demons, none of the four regions is safe any longer. In truth, it’s not an exaggeration to say that all four regions are on the brink of devastation. If there’s any place safe in the Land of Morning Stars, then it is the Cloudy Sky Region.”
“Furthermore, upon reaching the Cloudy Sky Region, all the top the Land of Morning Stars, then it is the Cloudy Sky Region.”
“Furthermore, upon reaching the Cloudy Sky Region, all the top experts of the entire Land of Morning Stars will be gathered in one place. At that time, ensuring the safety of the Cloudy Sky Region from the Heavenly Demons will not be difficult. With the aid of Demon Slayer Lin Hao and the other top experts of the Cloudy Sky Region, we can confront the Heavenly Demons and gradually reclaim our lost territories.”
