Chapter 865: Chapter 408: Going Home (The End of the Book)
The Reality Universe.
The forty-year-long great war continues unabated. Although the Array Plate of the Tao Immortal Array left by Lu Yi slaughters the Jiuyou Demons, their numbers are just too many. Even the Tao Immortal Array cannot completely block the dark fog, and numerous Jiuyou Demons charge out from the black mist, entering the universe to engage in battle with the Immortal Kings and cultivators of the Reality Universe beneath them.
Since the Jiuyou Demon Gods and Jiuyou Immortal Emperors capable of breaking through the Jiuyou Channel have been led to a different space by the humanoid Jiuyou Demon prior, this results in the Sky Falling Star Domain being the only domain that has a connection channel with the Jiuyou World, while Jiuyou Demons in other star domains remain unable to break out from the Jiuyou Battlefield, which is considered a blessing among misfortunes.
When the black mist appeared, and Lu Yi entered the different space with the humanoid Jiuyou Demon, Yu Cheng notified the powerhouses of other star domains, requesting their assistance.
The powerhouses who stayed behind all sent messages to their respective star domains as well.
They originally came to the Sky Falling Star Domain hoping they could cross the threshold of Immortal King through the teachings of Lu Yi, but unexpectedly, they ended up directly joining the fight as the Jiuyou Demons invaded the Reality Universe due to a twist of fate.
This is what all cultivators feel fortunate about.
If not for the presence of enough powerhouses from various star domains in this place, the current Jiuyou Demons would have already spread across the entire Sky Falling Star Domain and started eroding towards other star domains.
When the Jiuyou Demons reach their star domains, it would already be too late.
Now, with the united effort of powerhouses from major star domains and Yu Cheng along with other Immortal Kings cooperating with the array patterns of the Tao Immortal Array left by Lu Yi, they are barely holding the line in the Sky Falling Star Domain.
Although fierce battles erupt everywhere, and cultivators are dying all over, the situation still counts as a barely manageable defense.
Outside the black mist, Yu Cheng holds an Array Plate, suppressing three Immortal King Level Jiuyou Demons, his face somewhat pale.
As a strong person of Immortal King Level, the decades-long continuous battle has taken a tremendous toll, nearly injuring his origin.
This is despite the fact that the Array Plate of the Tao Immortal Array can be powered by the Star Core and Star Marrow, sparing him from much energy consumption; otherwise, Yu Cheng wouldn’t have been able to hold on.
His gaze sweeps over other areas where Yu Xuanyi, Yu Yunqing, Yu Ying, and other Yu Family seniors each hold an Array Plate, suppressing Immortal King Level Jiuyou Demons.
Currently, the number of Jiuyou Immortal Kings has reached over thirty, all flying out from the black mist one after another.
This number presents enormous pressure to Yu Cheng and others, yet they feel some degree of relief within.
Based on their understanding of the Jiuyou World, there should be far more Immortal Kings in Jiuyou World than just this. Now that forty years have passed, only these few Jiuyou Immortal Kings have emerged, which is undoubtedly great news to them.
Though they don’t know why only these few Jiuyou Immortal Kings have broken out from Jiuyou World, it isn’t important; Yu Cheng even hopes no more Jiuyou Immortal Kings will break out from Jiuyou World ever.
However, judging from the current situation, this seems impossible.
Besides the possibly emerging Jiuyou Immortal Kings in the future, there’s another highly troublesome issue.
The energy consumption of the Array Plate of the Tao Immortal Array is extremely vast, and even though the Yu Family has stood atop the Sky Falling Star Domain for eons, storing a massive amount of Star Marrow and Star Core, along with the reserves left by Lu Yi, the amount is substantial.
However, despite this, they can foresee that in at most a few more decades, all the Star Marrow and Star Core will be depleted.
Even with the support from the top forces of other star domains, it might not sustain for too long.
When all stored Star Core and Star Marrow are exhausted, and the Array Plate loses its function, that would mark the doomsday of the Sky Falling Star Domain.
The only hope they cling to now is that Lu Yi can return and do so bearing victory before the energy is completely depleted.
Only in this way, would they have hope of survival.
Yu Cheng’s eyes sweep over the surrounding battlefield; more and more cultivators of the Reality Universe are dying, and the number of Jiuyou Demons is increasing, the immense pressure weighing heavily on his heart.
He cannot help but let out a breath, his eyes filled with fatigue.
On the distant battlefield, Jiang Fan and other practitioners of the Tianming Star receive the care of Yu Family practitioners; their battlefield is not as terrifying as other regions but still exceedingly brutal.
Decades of battle have left Jiang Fan and others physically and mentally exhausted, their expressions have turned hazy.
Beside him, Feng Buming wields the Acquired Spirit Treasure long sword given by Lu Yi, swinging a golden sword light thousands of kilometers long. The sword light is grand and majestic, as Feng Buming, after breaking through to the Immortal Level, according to Lu Yi’s teachings, infused the Emperor Sword Intent and Sword Tao Law to autonomously comprehend the Sword Tao Immortal Skill, the Emperor Immortal Slaying Sword.
This is Feng Buming’s pride, and during past years, it has helped him kill numerous strong foes during his training.
Feng Buming always believed his sword was sharp enough, but now he thinks his sword is too dull. Even if he exerted all his strength, he still couldn’t kill the Golden Immortal Level Jiuyou Demons. If not for his companions beside him, he might have died countless times already.
Yet, watching old friends die one by one beside him, Feng Buming feels immense sorrow, resorting only to numbly swinging his sword, repelling Jiuyou Demons time and time again.
Similarly, the Thunder Sound Saintess, Taiyi Saint Son, and others beside him have similar experiences.
All their expressions are heavy, the continuous battles and the death of companions bring pain that even leaves their expressions in a daze.
