Chapter 152 Three Days and Three Nights
The deputy leader of the extraterrestrial demons was furious and sent out ten highly skilled vanguards, but they all returned empty-handed.
No, they didn't return, because they were all dead.
What's most infuriating is that they died, not only failing to complete their mission, but also greatly weakening the morale of their own side.
Since the battle in the Divine Realm 30,000 years ago, in which both sides suffered heavy losses, the extraterrestrial demon race has been severely weakened.
The tribe lost at least 80% of its fighting force, and most of those remaining were old, weak, sick, or disabled.
The tribe already had an extremely low birth rate, and it would take at least ten thousand years to raise a Heavenly Demon warrior.
Because of this, they have been resting and recuperating for the past 30,000 years.
Now, having finally gathered enough fighting power and found a spacetime rift, they have finally managed to descend upon this human realm after overcoming numerous hardships.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a reincarnated god.
They originally thought that the number of reincarnated gods was limited and that they could not possibly withstand this attack.
Unexpectedly, they had gathered a large number of human cultivators.
What's even more hateful is that although these human cultivators are all weaklings, they are fearless and undaunted by death.
In order to kill a demon from beyond the realm, they did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of more than a dozen people to try and find the demon's weakness.
Seeing the current battle situation, the deputy commander began to doubt his initial expectation of certain victory.
Can they really achieve final victory in this battle?
Could it be like what happened 30,000 years ago, where both sides suffered heavy losses in the battle?
But now that they have descended into this world, how can they face the old, weak, women and children of their tribe if they do not achieve final victory?
The reason why the extraterrestrial demons chose to invade was because their people needed to consume a large amount of spiritual energy to grow.
The territory of the extraterrestrial demons, however, is a barren universe where the energy has been drained by their inhabitants.
In short, without seizing resources, a group cannot continue to exist, let alone remain strong.
Their ancestors' legacy told them that apart from their own extraterrestrial demon race, all other races were their prey.
The existence of those races is merely to stockpile survival resources for them.
Even the seemingly invincible Zerg are at their mercy.
When the Zerg breed enough Zerg Kings and Queens, they will also become their food.
It can be said that the Zerg were the vanguard of their raids.
But this time, the Zerg, who were supposed to be the vanguard, failed and were driven back into the spatial rift within the Bronze Gate.
Therefore, the extraterrestrial demons had no choice but to personally don their armor and go into battle.
As it turns out, those who were able to drive away the insectoids were not ordinary humans; several of them were reincarnated gods.
Although the deputy leader had begun to doubt the victory, the belief in certain victory inherited from the extraterrestrial demon race still prevailed.
He started to manipulate himself: Thirty thousand years ago, they were able to wipe out the Divine Realm, and thirty thousand years later, they can destroy this Cloud Abyss Mirror just the same.
So what if the leader is dead? So what if the assassination attempt by ten powerful warriors failed? They still have hundreds of brave warriors!
They won't lose; they will definitely win in the end!
With this belief, the deputy leader shouted: "All warriors of the Heavenly Demon Clan, the spirits of our ancestors will protect us, and we will be invincible!"
The demons, who had been panicked and disorganized, regained their confidence in victory upon hearing his words.
In an instant, morale soared!
However, the morale of the human race was equally high.
Previously, the enemy sent ten powerful individuals to assassinate Yu Shan, but they were killed instead, which shows that these so-called undead races are far weaker than they imagined.
Before the war began, all human cultivators were told that this war was a war of annihilation; if they won, humanity would continue to survive, but if they lost, the entire realm would be devoid of life.
The nine major families were originally constantly fighting among themselves. If it weren't for the Night Pool Palace keeping them in check, they probably would have already started a full-blown brawl.
But this battle is now a matter of life and death for everyone, a matter of whether their homes will be destroyed.
Even those who usually liked to cheat and be afraid of death abandoned their fear and disregarded life and death in this battle.
Everyone works towards the same goal, cooperating seamlessly with each other. Behind each person, there are companions willingly taking the fall for them.
With such concerted efforts, coupled with the power of the Celestial Star Array, they could kill an extraterrestrial demon for every dozen lives lost.
Furthermore, whenever a cultivator dies, someone will immediately take their place, ensuring that the power of the formation remains unaffected.
The shouts of battle were deafening, and the stench of blood filled the entire space.
On Yu Shan's side, ever since the first wave of assassins were killed in the counterattack, everyone responsible for protecting her has gone into a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Whenever any extraterrestrial demons approach, they rush to kill them without hesitation.
Feather Fan's side was also very effective, managing to lock onto the vital points of at least two Heavenly Demons almost every five minutes.
Anyone who participates in the battle, upon seeing her spiritual guidance, will spare no effort to strike at the Heavenly Demon's vital point.
She was the only one in the entire arena with naturally gifted spiritual eyes, enabling her to accurately locate the demon's vital points. More and more people revered her as a deity.
On the battlefield, the light of faith continuously flowed into her body.
At the same time, Xiao Bai, who had transformed into a giant sword, also received a lot of light of faith.
Because at least half of the Heavenly Demon's vital points, which were targeted by the feather fan, were killed by the giant sword.
Since awakening his past life memories and being able to transform into a giant sword, Xiao Bai discovered that he could also absorb the light of faith.
Supported by the continuous light of faith, the feather fan's magical power was never exhausted.
Compared to the previous world-destroying war in the divine realm, this time although her cultivation level was much lower, she lasted much longer.
Several hundred extraterrestrial demons quickly consumed at least 70% of the elite disciples brought by the nine major families.
More than 50% of the subordinates of Ye Tan Palace were also lost.
Although the deputy leader of the Heavenly Demons was heartbroken by the loss of his people, since the battle had already begun, all their sacrifices would be in vain if they ultimately failed to conquer this universe.
So he sent out a distress signal, allowing the reserve team members who were waiting outside the crevice to come in as well.
With hundreds of enemies almost wiped out, and then hundreds more arriving, the nine family heads were in despair.
Ye Tanji, however, transmitted his voice to the rogue cultivators who were rushing towards the battlefield in the distance:
"This battle concerns the survival of humanity. Retreat means certain death, and advancing may also lead to death, but only by wiping out the extraterrestrial demons can the mortal realm be preserved."
With mortals come countless children of exceptional talent, who, upon growing up and cultivating, will inevitably protect this world.
Those rogue cultivators who were initially hesitant and wanted to retreat, after hearing his words, became more determined to move forward.
And so, batches of cultivators died or were injured, and batches of newcomers filled their vacancies.
This battle lasted for three days and three nights.
The people of the extraterrestrial demons finally ceased to be replenished by newcomers.
