"For the Holy Lord!"
"Purify them!"
"Glory belongs to the Holy Light!"
The paladins charged forward along the path paved with holy light, while angels soared above, their hands gathering immense divine power.
The golden ocean that it formed collided violently with the surging demonic energy that seemed to want to swallow everything.
Countless dazzling golden holy light arrays hung high in the sky, unleashing beams of devastating light that swept away vast swathes of enemies.
Meanwhile, the various strange demon gods of the Abyss Legion stood behind, unleashing all sorts of unpredictable magical arts.
This ability, which borrows the power of the abyss, ignores most resistances and can even kill enemies of higher levels.
Almost instantly, in Jiang Yan's mind, hundreds of millions of demon gods and holy light warriors fell at the same time.
The warriors selected from the most talented and elite individuals across all planes are now only meant to defend the army's charge against a single attack, or even just to deplete a small amount of the enemy's magical power.
The Paladin Legion undoubtedly suffered the greatest losses.
Their ability "Aura of Courage" was upgraded and refined to become "Paladin's Protection".
When paladins are present in battle, they will activate a protective aura to safeguard their teammates, and 80% of the damage taken by each warrior will be shared by all paladins.
The Abyss army's attack was too intense, and the energy completely exceeded their capacity to withstand it.
Fortunately, they activated their Holy Light forms and summoned the phantoms of twelve healing angels to accompany them.
One resurrection spell after another fell just in time, allowing them to struggle forward amidst destruction and rebirth.
"Something's not right! Why are these abyssal monsters so strong..."
Jiang Yan frowned as he observed the war situation.
Based on his previous combat experience, in non-Abyss environments, enhanced angels are far stronger than demon gods of the same rank. Not to mention that in the current illusion, these angels, benefiting from the blessing of faith, are even more powerful than in the original world.
But now, the Holy Light pantheon's battle losses are actually higher than the enemy's!
The strength of those demons was even greater than it had been in the abyss's inner layers!
Jiang Yan watched as the abyssal demonic energy spread like a shadow. It did not dissipate with the death of the demon god, but remained in the void. Its edges seemed to be faintly colliding with some invisible force, churning and eroding wildly.
He suddenly remembered the information that had been revealed by the various realms: the reason why the abyss monsters were much weaker in the various realms was because they were suppressed by the power of the various realms.
Could it be... that these demonic energies can break the power restrictions of all realms, allowing them to unleash their power in the true abyss?
If they spread throughout all the heavens and myriad worlds, who can stop them?
Jiang Yan was startled.
Apart from the divine legions of each pantheon and a small number of elites from each realm, beings from other planes simply do not have the ability to directly resist abyssal monsters at their peak.
"It seems that we should try to keep them within a certain range in the original world... No, perhaps we should take the initiative and plunge them into the abyss of reality, so that they don't have a chance to come out... Hmm... But these are all things to be discussed later. If we can't get through the illusion, it's all just empty talk."
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then refocused his attention on the battlefield.
At this moment, the battle between the two sides reached a fever pitch, and the battlefield became a giant meat grinder, with powerful energies colliding wildly, and countless warriors dying every second.
Even ordinary god-level powerhouses would be overwhelmed and perish if they rushed into the center of the battlefield.
Aside from mobilizing a vast amount of faith power to replenish the divine power of the healing angels, Jiang Yan did not use any other abilities.
Although the situation is dire, the healing angels are able to continuously cast resurrection spells thanks to the abundant power of faith.
Especially the enhanced six-winged healing angel, who can revive almost a million warriors at once.
On the surface, the Holy Light pantheon even seemed to have the upper hand, struggling to advance its lines with constant deaths.
But this is only temporary. Before he came, he learned from Tinas that once the Holy Light Legion fully entered the battlefield, the Abyss's attacks would suddenly become dozens of times more intense, instantly breaking the balance.
"I wonder if the enhanced warriors can withstand the pressure." Jiang Yan didn't intend to stop them.
He wasn't aiming to win this second time around; his goal was simply to witness the Abyss's offensive firsthand, so he could prepare for what was to come.
Time flew by amidst the fierce fighting.
On the fifth day, when thousands of Holy Light Legions were pressing in, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended.
"They're here!"
Jiang Yan swept it away with his divine sense.
Suddenly, countless gaps were torn open in the void where the abyssal demonic energy had spread, and passages made of flesh and blood emerged from them, extending into the void and leading to all the heavens and the myriad worlds.
Countless demons surged forth like a raging tide, engulfing the battlefield. Each warrior faced at least dozens of monsters simultaneously.
Under an attack that completely overflows, even with the help of a resurrection spell, one cannot survive for even a second.
The first few dozen legions were instantly destroyed, and even an angel legion was teetering on the brink of collapse under the siege.
Even worse news is that almost simultaneously, the entire universe began to be invaded by the abyss. From first-tier claw demons to powerful high-level abyssal demon gods, they burst out of the passages, wantonly destroying everything in their path and slaughtering the believers of the Holy Light.
Countless requests for assistance came from all directions.
Jiang Yan could clearly sense the calls and prayers from believers across the myriad worlds.
Despite the immediate deployment of 821 mixed legions to resist, it was still a drop in the ocean compared to the sheer number of the Abyss army.
After all, this was originally a battle line that should have been guarded by the Undead pantheon and the gods together. Now it has been handed over to the Holy Light pantheon, which is simply unable to take care of it and can only barely protect some core faith planes.
As those undefended planes were rapidly destroyed, the surging abyssal demonic energy intensified its corrosive effects, allowing more abyssal passages to descend, and the number of monsters seemed to increase with each battle.
Soon, even the planes guarded by the hybrid legions began to fall.
It was clear that the faith that was once like a river flowing into the sea, flowing endlessly, was beginning to dry up. Although the reserves were still huge, if the foundation was destroyed, not only would the faith lose its source, but the power of the Holy Light Law would also become weak, causing a significant drop in the combat strength of each legion.
The high-ranking experts of the Holy Light pantheon clearly realized this as well, and they all soared into the sky, heading towards the main trunk of the abyss passage.
However, before they could even get close, they were stopped by the Abyss Supreme Powerhouse and a large number of Domain Lords who had been waiting there.
"No wonder the Holy Light pantheon suffered a crushing defeat; it was completely undermined."
Jiang Yan sensed each plane disappearing in his divine sense and pondered to himself.
"It seems we have to destroy those passages while braving the abyssal demonic tide, otherwise, with such a huge numerical disadvantage, there's no way we can defend the plane of faith. In the third round, let's try using the reincarnation divine magic in conjunction with the healing angels to see if we can break through."
Having made up his mind, Jiang Yan did not hesitate to activate his divine power and self-destruct once again.
Again!
