Chapter 639 - 633: Good and Evil
A sound of a kill notification rang in Lin You’s mind.
The beast lord who failed to escape was directly killed by over twenty phantom clones and the royal family.
The remaining demon lord died under the siege of Beidou and Hundred Beasts, with even its head blown apart.
Ultimately, among the ten Tier Eleven Lords, two remained, but they were the weakest ones with Six Divine Formats.
During this time, Lin You was constantly casting Void Space and other control skills to prevent their escape, but he couldn’t stop them all.
This speaks volumes about how remarkable their escape methods were.
However, successfully killing two was much better than they had anticipated.
After all, the Realm Alliance’s army was stationed not far away; the opponent was desperate to escape, so it wasn’t easy to leave them behind.
Fortunately, the surrounding environment allowed his Phantom Walker skills to be maximized.
Otherwise, facing ten Tier Eleven Lords and a few with Nine Divine Formats, the pressure would be immense.
"Did we... manage to block them?"
"And even counter-killed two?"
"So strong!"
Nearby other Anti-Alliance lords watched in shock, unable to believe that Lin You and his group managed to fend off the opponent with just four people and even counter-killed two.
Everything happened so quickly that they couldn’t come to help; the battle was already over.
Watching the two Seven-Colored Divine Formats floating in the air, the lords showed expressions of desire and greed.
But remembering the gruesome image of the two lord’s deaths, they hesitated, not daring to approach easily.
Even the Realm Alliance lords on the opposite side were extremely wary of Lin You and his group.
After hesitating, they all gave up on continuing to attack Li Ke and turned to find other targets.
"Luck is on our side, we got two more divine formats."
Lin You and the group gathered around the two divine formats with joy.
Such a situation where Realm Alliance recklessly charges into their rear to attack a lord is rare; they also benefited from Li Ke’s recent upgrade.
Li Ke, who was participating in Tier Eleven combat for the first time, was also excited, yet to calm down.
"Beast type and demon type, it’s a pity."
Regarding the divine formats before them, Beidou said with regret.
"Nothing I can use either." Hundred Beasts shrugged, seemingly accustomed to this outcome.
After all, they are only missing one type of divine format now, and the hit rate is quite low.
Earlier, they were all aiming for the type they were missing, but couldn’t manage to keep the opponent.
Originally, they didn’t really believe in luck, but sometimes they have to believe that to become emperors, great fortune is essential.
"As agreed, the divine formats are distributed as needed. We can’t use these two, so they should be divided between you two." Beidou looked at Lin You and Li Ke.
"Can I also get a share?" Li Ke asked hesitantly.
During the battle, apart from acting as a decoy, he basically just played a minor role, unable to deal significant damage to those lords.
Unexpectedly receiving a precious divine format left him unbelieving and hesitant.
"Of course, it’s not given for free." Beidou smiled gently.
"Based on your contribution, you need to compensate me and Beidou each with 400,000 rule fragments; Brother Sheng You contributed the most, just a compensation of 100,000 each."
"You know the value of a divine format, this is already at team price; selling it outside would easily fetch several million, and it would be priceless."
"Yes, yes, I know." Li Ke nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at grains.
Under Beidou’s surprised gaze, he immediately traded them 500,000 rule fragments each.
"Since I didn’t contribute much, I’ll cover Brother You’s share too."
"This..."
Beidou and Hundred Beasts exchanged glances.
They were just quoting market prices, not expecting Li Ke to give out so many rule fragments without hesitation.
Is this a newly advanced lord?
Even those seasoned lords don’t have such wealth, do they?
Not only them, but even Lin You felt odd, finally understanding what it means to be ridiculously wealthy.
"In that case, I’ll take the Beast Divine Format. Li Ke, since you don’t have demon type, you can have this demon type one."
"Sure, as long as it’s something I can use."
Li Ke grinned, happily accepting the demon divine format handed to him by Lin You.
While Lin You obtained the Beast Divine Format.
"Alright, the battle isn’t over yet. Quickly find a place to merge the divine format; maybe we can kill more enemies."
Having just received 600,000 rule fragments, Beidou and Hundred Beasts were in high spirits, immediately recalling the scattered species around them.
Without wasting time, Lin You instantly teleported back to the war camp to merge the divine format.
Then rejoining them, continuing to seek targets to attack all over the battlefield.
...
"Boom!!"
High above the continent, in the void, destructive energies continuously explode.
Both camps’ strongest, the Dragon Emperor and the Qianji Emperor clashed fiercely, their terrifying power shattering the void for thousands of miles.
At this level of battle, ordinary species were no longer of much use.
Only twelve heroic species remained by their sides, equally engaged in a wild confrontation.
But in the end.
Neither could get the better of the other, and after thousands of rounds of fierce battling, they finally stopped, facing each other from a distance across the void.
"It’s useless, as long as I’m here, you won’t get inside."
Among the twelve imposing Elemental Venerables, the Qianji Emperor’s robe fluttered without wind, his gaze tightly fixed on the Dragon Emperor.
"Whether we can get in or not is not for the two of us to decide."
The Dragon Emperor, covered from head to toe in a layer of golden dragon scales, also had twelve majestic and domineering five-colored giant dragons by his side, their enormous bodies spanning several miles.
"Even so, you’ll have to beat us first!"
With a loud roar, the Qianji Emperor struck again, colliding brutally with the Dragon Emperor.
Two terrifyingly powerful auras clashed back and forth in the void, plunging heaven and earth into darkness and chaos.
Above the Ten Thousand Realms Continent, the silhouettes of the Great Emperors clashing fiercely could be seen everywhere.
Even though they couldn’t be seen, the continuous booms and the sight of the collapsing sky could be felt.
And below, the armies of both sides also shook the heavens with their shouts and killings.
Limbs and blood intertwined madly, staining the black earth below dark red, transforming into a pungent stench of blood wafting across the battlefield under the burning Demon Fire.
This battle.
Continued for six whole days.
Under the frenzied assault of the Anti-Alliance army, the Realm Alliance’s defense line was finally breached on the afternoon of the sixth day, advancing thousands of kilometers into their territory.
But regrettably.
For six whole days, Lin You and his team achieved nothing.
It seemed like the opposing Lords were wary of them, or perhaps they suddenly changed strategies and immediately retreated in the face of adversity, leaving no room for an attack.
That’s why they were able to advance so quickly.
"Damn it, weren’t these guys very brave before? Why did they become so cowardly these past few days?"
Hundred Beasts cursed, watching as the Realm Alliance’s line retreated once again.
They had just managed to catch a lone Lord, ready to unleash everything in one attack and take him down, but the opponent completely ignored him and escaped using a life-saving skill.
"It seems they’ve realized they can’t hold this outer area, hence the decision to retreat to the next realm," Beidou analyzed seriously.
Although the Realm Alliance managed to equalize the number of high-tier Lords with Chaos Divine Format, they were still far from matching them in strength.
Moreover, they had almost twice as many low-tier Lords, allowing them to fight in shifts.
Over extended battles, the opponent’s energy expenditure would naturally increase greatly.
Eventually, they had no choice but to retreat.
"At this rate, we should be reaching the outskirts of the Demon Origin Realm soon."
Lin You lifted his head, gazing into the distance at the hazy black mountains and a blood moon hanging high in the sky.
The Demon Origin Realm, one of the Realm Alliance’ main bases.
Once they breached there, it would effectively cut off one of the Realm Alliance’ arms, significantly reducing their threat to the Ten Thousand Realms Continent.
By then, both camps could unite, launching a joint attack on the remaining Eternal Realm, completely dismantling the foundation of the Realm Alliance and securing ultimate victory in the faction war.
"Everyone, remain on standby."
At this moment, a loud and authoritative voice echoed through the void.
The Great Emperors who had finished fighting appeared one after another, hovering above the army.
Their expressions varied, some excited, some somber, some even gravely injured and covered in blood, clearly experiencing different fates.
Similarly,
the situation on the Realm Alliance’s side was much the same, with some joyous and others sorrowful.
After six days of battle, the curtain temporarily fell.
...
Demon Origin Realm.
Inside the highest palace in the continent’s center.
The Qianji Emperor, having just retreated, coincidentally met the waiting Mo Luo Emperor.
"How is it? Is everything alright around here?"
In the vast palace hall, Mo Luo Emperor’s voice was like a great bell, resonating all around.
He bore numerous wounds, all inflicted by Holy Light, evidently not long after battling the Saint Emperor.
"Yes, the losses aren’t too severe." Qianji nodded silently. "Since you’ve wrapped up your side, I’ll head back to the Eternal Realm for now. Inform me of any developments."
With that, accompanied by a few subordinates, he crossed the space, hurrying back towards the Eternal Realm.
It wasn’t until they left the confines of the Demon Origin Realm that one subordinate couldn’t help but speak up: "Emperor, I don’t understand, do we really have to go so far? We’ve already lost enough on both sides."
Qianji Emperor glanced at him, his previously stern gaze softening slightly as he let out an almost imperceptible sigh.
After a moment, his calm voice flowed quietly: "We don’t have much time left, if we don’t do this, everyone will die. I’m merely accelerating their growth."
"No one wants to be the villain; I’ll take that burden!"
