Blue Star, Dimensional Realm.
Under the seemingly unchanging night sky, a five-person squad was stealthily moving through a rocky mountain.
"Remember, our goal this time is not to wipe out the mysterious group in the vicinity. We just need to determine whether there are any mineral veins there. Otherwise, we might easily alert them!"
The leader, Qing Sheng, spoke softly to the people behind him with a hint of helplessness.
The rugged terrain in the rocky mountain did not pose a significant obstacle to their five-person team. They moved as if they were walking on flat ground, using the huge rocks to conceal themselves while moving quickly.
"Brother Qing, it wasn't my fault last time. It was all because Lin Bai's annihilation caused such a huge commotion!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ming immediately tried to shift the blame.
"Xiang Ming, you're talking nonsense! If the Night Demons you released hadn't been discovered first, would I have been able to use Annihilation?"
Seeing this, Lin Bai was also unwilling to take the blame.
"It's starting again!"
Gan Yuan stood to the side, holding his long sword, and rubbed his forehead, feeling a slight headache.
"hey-hey!"
Wang Hao touched his signature shiny bald head, which seemed like it would never grow hair again, and chuckled somewhat sheepishly.
Although Lin Bai and Xiang Ming were bickering quietly, everyone had a faint smile on their face and didn't seem angry.
It is evident that the emotional bond between the five individuals did not falter during Chi Chen's absence; on the contrary, it deepened and strengthened. Xiang Ming, Gan Yuan, and Wang Hao truly integrated into Lin Bai and Qing Sheng's circle.
After wandering through the stone forest for a few minutes, the three of them finally stopped behind a huge rock.
"The mysterious group numbers around three hundred, and among them, there are faint traces of Star Radiance Realm auras, but they are not stable. They should only be a few half-step Star Radiance Realm mystics. However, the fact that the Mysterious Kingdom can send a mysterious group of this size to guard this place at this time means that there is a high possibility that there is a mineral vein here!"
Through his spiritual perception, Qingsheng clearly analyzed the situation they were currently facing.
During this period, due to Lucifer's massacre of Dawn City, the original four major war zones of the dimensional world have now been reduced to only three. Even though a temporary allied army has been formed, the overall strength has been weakened considerably.
With Bazan, who had also touched the threshold of the divine realm, the temporary allied forces composed of the Great Xia War Zone, the Far America War Zone, and the South Africa War Zone were feeling suffocated, as if an incomparably heavy mountain was constantly pressing down on them.
In just a few months, the mysterious kingdom and the allied forces have engaged in no fewer than ten large-scale wars, while smaller skirmishes have been taking place almost daily.
Even the temporary allied forces formed by the three war zones suffered many casualties during this period, including the deaths of four powerful figures at the peak of the Moon Realm!
Although it was only four people, it was enough to make the temporary allied forces feel heartbroken and shocked.
Because if Sheng Yang doesn't come out, Ruoyue Realm is already the top combat force for both sides. Now, how many Ruoyue Realm warriors are there in the Dimensional Realm plus the entire Blue Star, and the four major war zones combined?
It's less than four hundred!
This figure also includes those independent forces that are just as crazy and eager to cause trouble as the Heretic Taboo.
After all, on Blue Star, there are not only heretical forbidden places that oppose Great Xia in the south.
Within the territories of the other three major war zones, there are naturally forces operating in the shadows as well.
However, their ideologies are largely the same as those of the Heretical Forbidden Zone, all of whom want to enslave or even exterminate ordinary people on Earth and establish a world entirely composed of forbidden ability users.
Just as the four major war zones could not truly unite, the heretical forces could not unite as a whole, because they all essentially wanted to be the rulers of the world. Although they all followed similar principles, if they were to unite, who would be the leader?
But which of them is willing to completely follow someone else's arrangements?
But if there's no leader and everyone governs the heretical alliance together, what's the difference between that and not being an alliance at all?
Therefore, heretical forces like the Forbidden Place of Heresy did not unite, and sometimes they would have friction with each other over resource issues.
Take the Dark God, who had already died in the Heretical Forbidden Zone, for example. When he was chased to the territory of the Nordic War Zone by the God Sealing Squad, he not only did not receive help from the heretical force, the Fallen Temple, there, but was also secretly tripped up by them. He had no choice but to create a clone at the cost of weakening his own strength in order to escape the pursuit of the God Sealing Squad.
However, if the Dark God had known that returning to the Heretic Forbidden Zone would lead to such an outcome, he probably would have taken the God Sealing Squad on a world tour instead.
But in this world, there aren't so many "what ifs"!
Okay, enough chit-chat!
Speaking of the dimensional realm, the mysterious kingdoms suffered even greater losses in several wars. After all, most of the mysterious beings are ordinary mysteries, and those with forbidden abilities are few and far between, except for those with royal bloodlines.
Therefore, in terms of individual combat strength, apart from a few individuals, the mysterious are generally no match for humans with forbidden abilities.
Therefore, after several wars, the mysterious kingdom suffered at least 200,000 deaths in the dimensional realm.
This shows how brutal the battlefield in the dimensional realm was. Fortunately, once the mysterious died, his body would disintegrate more quickly. Otherwise, the temporary allied forces would have had to spend a lot of effort just dealing with the mysterious's corpse.
In several major battles, Bazan only made one appearance in the final battle.
But that one move almost plunged the entire temporary allied army into despair.
The three major war zones, which gathered Zhang Rong, the strongest human in the current dimensional world, along with nearly thirty powerful beings at the Ruoyue Realm, were barely able to withstand Bazan's attack.
The four peak-level Ruoyue Realm cultivators who died were accidentally slapped to death by Bazan in that battle.
Their deaths were extremely unjust, but Hu Yuan and his group in Guangxia City felt both sorry for them and a little relieved, because the four who died were all big shots from the Far America War Zone.
There's nothing we can do; they're just naturally arrogant and look down on people. Even if Zhang Rong had warned them beforehand, it wouldn't have mattered.
The four of them were still very arrogant, thinking that the Shengyang realm was nothing special.
But this is not their fault. After all, they had never dealt with the Sheng Yang realm before, and they were the first four to rush out to steal the limelight, so they naturally did not know how powerful Bazan was, who was even more terrifying than the Sheng Yang realm.
So, on that day, to everyone's horrified expressions, Bazan swatted the four of them into mincemeat in just a few swift movements, as if swatting a few annoying flies.
This left a deep psychological scar on all the big shots except for Zhang Rong and his group who were already mentally prepared and had personally experienced the Dawn City incident.
Because nowadays, whether on Earth or in the dimensional world, the number of beings at the Sheng Yang realm, whether openly or secretly, probably doesn't exceed two palms' worth.
These Ruoyue Realm big shots, who are used to being high and mighty and are the top combat power in the open, know that there is a Shengyang Realm above them. However, they have not witnessed the Shengyang Realm powerhouses make a move for a long time. For most of them, the Shengyang Realm is just a concept.
Therefore, among these powerful figures at the Ruoyue Realm, most of them gradually lost their awe of the Shengyang Realm and began to swell with pride.
Bazan's slaps instantly woke them up completely.
That day, they finally remembered the fear that shrouded them in death.
On that very day, under Zhang Rong's leadership, nearly thirty cultivators at the Ruoyue Realm fought a fierce battle with Bazan for three days and three nights. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the battle was so intense that the sky darkened and the sun and moon changed color. That battle was far more terrifying than Zhang Rong's one-on-one battle with Lucifer.
But in the end, just as Bazan was about to win, he withdrew voluntarily amidst the fear and suspicion in everyone's eyes, as if his move that time was just to show how powerful he was in front of the Allied forces!
The real reason behind Bazan's sudden retreat in that battle is probably unknown to anyone except himself and Zhang Rong, who could guess some of it!
However, to those unaware of the truth, the outcome of that battle became synonymous with a victory for the Allied forces.
