Wen Ping learns that the Wood Dragon desecrated the ancestral tombs of the Crack Sky Tribe, angering them immensely. This leads to the Crack Sky Tribe targeting the Sky-covering Building, diverting their attention from the Immortal Sect. Meanwhile, the Demon Emperor Lake Demon Race, led by Huaikong, begins its invasion of the Black Domain by attacking Wuyou Swamp, gaining territory and power.

Extreme Night Courtyard, the six-star influence closest to Mitian City.

At this moment, Kui Qing from the War Division and the elder surnamed Jiang were all on standby there. They were just waiting for the plan against You Country to conclude, and for reinforcements to be sent.

A month had passed in the blink of an eye, yet the remaining two months felt like an ordeal for them.

Bika’s millennium-long inability to break through the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted was an even greater ordeal.

Being eternally weaker than his most hated enemy was yet another torment.

The previous defeat of the War Department Vanguard Army and the fall of Mitian City had made them and the War Division lose face within Zhetianlou. They eagerly hoped for the higher-ups to send people to help them eradicate the Immortal Sect and reclaim their lost pride.

Just as dawn broke, at a serene lakeside pavilion deep within Extreme Night Courtyard, the Sect Leader of Extreme Night Courtyard was leisurely playing chess while listening to music.

Across from him sat the elder surnamed Jiang.

Kui Qing and others, meanwhile, were soaking in a warm pool nearby, accompanied by a beautiful woman, yet none showed any sign of joy on their faces.

"Why the long faces, everyone? To Zhetianlou, Heaven and Earth Lake is small, the Immortal Sect is also small, and the vanguard’s defeat is also insignificant. An occasional loss doesn’t mean anything. Surviving is what matters," the Sect Leader of Extreme Night Courtyard gently comforted after making a move in the chess game.

But the elder surnamed Jiang looked grave, "This matter has spread across Zhetianlou, my lifelong reputation ruined in an instant. You speak so lightly."

"Brother Jiang, don’t be agitated. How many times have I said that I’ll accompany you to Heaven and Earth Lake when the time comes and wipe out everyone from the Immortal Sect? Isn’t that enough?"

With that, the Sect Leader of the Extreme Night Courtyard made another chess move.

Because the move was brilliant, he stood up delightedly.

Faced with no choice, the elder surnamed Jiang continued with a move and, gritting his teeth, said with hatred, "Leave the life of the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect to me!"

"All yours, all yours. Brother Jiang, I realize you’ve really narrowed your perspective; it’s evident even in our game. They’re no more than a sect slightly stronger than ants; even if they have the Heaven Unrestricted behind them, so what? Why are you so fixated on them?"

The Sect Leader of Extreme Night Courtyard shook his head and sighed, then adjusted his attire to block the chill wind penetrating through the gaps in his clothing.

Wait!

The Sect Leader of Extreme Night Courtyard froze.

As one who’s Heaven Unrestricted, he shouldn’t feel cold if he didn’t intentionally let his perception loose. But he did.

The next moment.

Boom—

The Sect Leader of Extreme Night Courtyard watched wide-eyed as the mountain peak ahead was instantly leveled—it was precisely where the main hall of Extreme Night Courtyard stood.

Next came a shout from Jing Lake.

"Sect Leader, escape!"

As the exclamation echoed, a Giant Demon descended from the sky, the profound Demon Qi of the Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm enveloping the entire Extreme Night Courtyard with chilling resolve.

Everyone within Extreme Night Courtyard was plunged into panic.

"What’s happening?"

The Sect Leader of Extreme Night Courtyard, along with the elder surnamed Jiang and others, hurriedly opened their Meridian Gates, originally intending to counter, but upon seeing the sky filled with dense demon swarms, their faces turned ghostly pale.

The number of demons was so vast it blotted out the sky!

Among them were as many as five Demon Ancestors!

"Run!"

Alarmed, the Sect Leader of Extreme Night Courtyard immediately turned into a streak of startled rainbow, soaring into the sky, without a care for his own people being trampled by the Giant Demon.

Whether it was the disciples.

Or the elders.

All were trampled like ants.

Just as the Sect Leader of Extreme Night Courtyard turned into a streak of startled rainbow, he was stomped into the ground by another Middle Realm Demon Ancestor descending from the sky, and after several struggles, was ripped apart by two Middle Realm Demon Ancestors and shared like a soybean, each demon taking half into their mouths.

The elder surnamed Jiang and Kui Qing, thanks to the Sect Leader of Extreme Night Courtyard sacrificing his life as a cover, had managed to escape from Extreme Night Courtyard. However, countless Demon Gods of the Sky-Split Race were hot on their heels. They dared not think much and kept their heads down, constantly fleeing in the sky.

After fleeing for an hour, the demons pursuing them gradually dwindled.

It wasn’t that the Sky-Split Race had given up the chase!

But rather, the Demon Gods pursuing them had already landed, slaughtering other forces under Zhetianlou’s banner and city forces along their path.

In other words, within this hour, billions of Zhetianlou members had given their lives to buy the elder surnamed Jiang and others a slim chance of survival.

Even though it wasn’t what those people wanted to do.

They undeniably made an outstanding contribution to the survival of the elder surnamed Jiang and others.

Having escaped alive, the elder surnamed Jiang and others looked back at the land now turned into Purgatory, and exchanged frightened glances.

"Why did the Sky-Split Race from the Howling Abyss attack our Zhetianlou, wasn’t the leader supposed to have signed a Blood Contract with them?"

The elder surnamed Jiang gazed at the path they came from, watching city after city trampled by the Sky-Split Race, as a chill colder than death crept over him.

The Sky-Split Race had slaughtered their way out of the Howling Abyss for tens of thousands of miles.

And had massacred a hundred cities of Zhetianlou in succession!

As if harboring a deep-seated blood feud.

Moreover, the killing spree of the Sky-Split Race continued to expand!

The Sky-Split Race.

Have they gone mad?

Are they declaring war on Zhetianlou?

With this thought, the elder surnamed Jiang’s expression grew increasingly grim.

Forget it.

Better to flee first.

...

The war within Wuyou Swamp continued, and the war losses of the Lake Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake were mounting, until by midday of the second day.

The fallen demons added another million to their number.

But alongside the brutal sacrifices came significant advances. Many Demon Gods, after a day and night of slaughter, stepped into the Middle Realm.

For instance: the Titan Giant Ape, Taishan, born at the establishment of the Nuwa Statue, and the first, second, and third batches of Demon Gods who survived from the Final Forbidden Area.

In yesterday and today’s battles, they each nearly killed dozens, if not over a hundred, of same-realm Demon Gods, successfully reaching the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm.

The overall power of the Lake Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake skyrocketed!

Slightly bridging the exaggerated power gap within the Demon Race, at this pace, it shouldn’t be long before many Demon Gods comparable to the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm emerge.

Of course, this also meant that more demons would have to be sacrificed.

Yet it was all worth it.

Meanwhile, the Sky-Split Race had noticed the war at Wuyou Swamp.

Because the aura of the Lake Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake was too unfamiliar.

A Black Domain suddenly emerged with a demon race guarded by a Demon Ancestor, invading Wuyou Swamp, which naturally drew attention.

But since the Sky-Split Race was currently fully engaging in the extermination of all forces within ten thousand miles of Zhetianlou, they couldn’t spare the attention for the Lake Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake.

Thus, the two wars continued separately for another day.

By the third day, the unforeseen event that Wen Ping didn’t want to see finally happened.

The slaughter of the Sky-Split Race proceeded smoothly, expanding ceaselessly.

However, what Wen Ping envisioned didn’t go as planned.

Just as the Sky-Split Race’s killing stride progressed, a Demon Ancestor of the Sky-Split Race lingered above Wuyou Swamp, pausing to appreciate the battle between the two races.
