Regardless, the plan to purify the sources of darkness remained unchanged, and all the lords launched attacks on the last few sources of darkness as planned.
Ye Chen still traveled with Hua Xiyu, taking charge of the second dark source. Judging from the number, this was one of the earliest basic dark sources to appear. The spatial rift here was about half again as large as before, and the dense dark aura was constantly eroding the energy shield of their territory.
Besides the dark energy, the number of dark creatures here was also much greater than in other places. The number of seventh-order demigod-level dark creatures almost doubled. It took Ye Chen and Hua Xiyu nearly half a month to reach the edge of the spatial rift and officially begin repairing the space.
"If this source of darkness continues to drag on, it feels like it could really support an eighth-order dark creature to emerge!" Hua Xiyu sighed inwardly as she looked at the enormous spatial rift.
The spatial rift here is so large that it seems to stretch to the horizon, a rare phenomenon in the boundless universe. Even without an eighth-order creature guarding it, the aura emanating from it still sends shivers down one's spine.
"Do you think all the eighth-tier creatures might have gathered together, preparing to launch an attack on some source of darkness?" Ye Chen said thoughtfully, looking at the huge spatial rift.
"Pah, pah, pah! Don't jinx it! Dark creatures are inherently hostile to each other and are food for each other. They don't cooperate so easily! Definitely not!" Hua Xiyu said to herself, but unfortunately, both of them seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
They were well aware, and indeed all the lords were well aware, that such a possibility was not impossible, and that the possibility was very high!
Once all the eighth-tier dark creatures attack a certain source of darkness, this place will surely be unable to withstand it. At that time, the entire Demon Flame Plane will be completely destroyed, and these lords may not even have a chance to escape.
"Let's repair the space first!" Ye Chen sighed and set up various large formations to begin repairing the space.
Having repaired spatial rifts many times, this was already second nature to him. As the spatial repair began, the surrounding dark creatures rioted, but this was a normal phenomenon. Even a group of low- to mid-level dark creatures could not damage the huge spatial rifts around them.
"Keep a close eye on the spatial rift; I'm worried something unexpected might happen!" Ye Chen instructed Ye Xi beside him. After observing for a while, Ye Chen stopped paying attention. As a lord, all he could do was watch; he might as well focus on developing his clan.
However, the spatial rift did not occur, but an unexpected event did happen on the Primordial Star. However, this unexpected event was not a bad thing, but a good thing. Nuwa found an opportunity to break through to the eighth rank and is preparing to break through to the eighth rank.
A mysterious aura permeated the entire primordial planet, causing all living beings to look up at the sky. It seemed that a huge phantom with a human head and a snake's body was appearing in the sky, exuding a vast divine power. Even Zhulong and the others were terrified.
They were already at the late seventh rank, and under this vast divine might, they felt as if they were facing a god when they were at the sixth rank. At this moment, everyone understood that with the descent of the true god, they, these demigods, were nothing more than false gods with mortal bodies, and their lives were in the hands of the other party.
The transition from the seventh to the eighth rank may seem like just a major advancement, but in reality, it is a transformation from mortal to god. A demigod is merely a mortal who possesses a trace of divinity, while only a true god is the one who truly rules the world. When a true god is born, all false gods can only bow down!
"Good! Good! Good!" Ye Chen excitedly looked towards Nuwa's palace, the palace he left for Nuwa. At this moment, a powerful aura was permeating the palace. Although it was not as powerful as the eighth-order dark god he had encountered in the Rift World, and the aura was extremely unstable with its strength fluctuating, this was Nuwa's first step towards the eighth order.
"Pass down the order, have Kunpeng personally lead people to set up the Small Heavenly Star Array near Nuwa Palace. Even if the Primordial Star is invaded by dark creatures, the safety of Nuwa Palace must be guaranteed. Unless it is a matter of life and death, Nuwa must not be alarmed!" Ye Chen immediately gave the order.
He didn't know how long it would take Nuwa to advance to the eighth rank, but this was the first clan on the Primordial Star with the potential to advance to the eighth rank, and he would not allow any accidents to happen.
He didn't even tell anyone the news, to avoid the slightest accident.
Kunpeng, having received the order, knew the seriousness of the matter. He was happy to be free from fighting dark creatures in the darkness and personally led many great demons to surround Nuwa's Palace, not allowing anyone to enter.
Moreover, with the arrangement of the Small Heavenly Star Array and the mobilization of Ye Chen's energy, there was no longer a trace of dark energy eroding the area around the Nuwa Palace. At the same time, the energy was so rich that just taking a breath might be enough to cause a low-level creature to advance.
Numerous spirits and monsters were born around Nuwa Palace. Even though Ye Chen closed the gate of essence and energy to send it here, the surrounding spiritual plants and objects were imbued with extremely high spirituality, making it a blessed land. Even in the Nine Heavens filled with endless immortal energy, it was still considered one of the top palaces.
As time passed, the phantom of Nuwa in the sky gradually faded away, but Nuwa's advancement did not end, and the gates of Nuwa Palace remained tightly closed.
The current Primordial Star is only at the seventh rank, which is theoretically insufficient to support her breakthrough to the eighth rank. She is relying on her own powerful strength and potential to forcibly break through this limitation. Once she succeeds, she will completely break free from the Primordial Star's shackles and have an unimaginable future.
"For clans to break through the limitations of their territories and reach higher realms, such things have always been just a dream. I never thought that I would actually see it happen!" On the primordial land, Tao Ping and several awakened individuals gathered together, equally shocked.
"He has always been the best! He will be the strongest lord!" Ye Chen said with pride.
However, before Nuwa could break through to the eighth level, another aura rose up on the Primordial Star. Ye Chen sat up in shock and looked in the direction of Fengdu City with horror.
"This is... Houtu?" Ye Chen quickly identified her, but this time, he couldn't be happy.
The Primordial Star is only a seventh-tier territory, and the energy it can provide is barely enough for Nuwa to advance her own level. Now it's supposed to supply energy for two people to advance simultaneously? Is this some kind of attempt to drain her dry?
If the energy supply is insufficient, at best the advancement will fail, and at worst the territory will collapse. Will he still be playing ball then?
