Chapter 1259 - 1226: Celestials vs. Demons
In the boundless starry sky, a man with sword-like brows and star-bright eyes, holding a dazzling Golden Sword, stood in the void.
He raised his head and gazed up at the endlessly rotating black vortex in the sky, as if something up there was drawing him in.
At this moment.
A man clad in Battle Armor appeared out of thin air behind him, likewise focusing intently on the sky.
If any member of the Winged Race were here right now, they would definitely be shocked and awed by the three pairs of holy Feather Wings behind this man.
Next came an equally Battle Armor–clad, yet incomparably heroic and stunning woman.
She also appeared without the slightest warning out of thin air behind that white-robed man.
But that was not the end.
As this man and woman appeared one after another—
More and more people began to appear in this boundless universe far from the Rafam Continent, one after another.
In just a short while.
Tens of thousands of Celestial men and women were all staring solemnly and gravely in the same direction.
That Black Hole!!!
Looking at the men and women filling the void before his eyes, Lin Yi felt a shock unlike anything he had ever known.
The Fire God Opasi suddenly spoke at Lin Yi’s side:
"These are the Celestials you’ve been looking for."
Lin Yi stared in disbelief at the incredibly vivid scene before him.
He had never imagined that this mysterious and powerful race would enter his field of view in such a way.
They...
Even though Lin Yi already knew that what lay before him was merely an Illusion Realm conjured by the Fire God Opasi, he could still feel the terrifying Power radiating from these people.
What Lin Yi found unbelievable was this.
Every one of these tens of thousands of Celestials before him had strength at least above Demigod Level (Lv80), perhaps even all at True God (Lv85)!
And why was Lin Yi so certain?
Because of the three pairs of Feather Wings!
The Six-winged Celestial Race.
Rumor had it that any Celestial who reached Six Wings possessed strength at least at Ninth Transformation, True Divine Level.
Within this dense mass of Celestials before him, almost all he could see at a glance were mighty existences with Six Wings or more.
Only a small number, like Lin Yi, with four wings interspersed among them.
Facing such an enormous formation of Celestials.
Lin Yi had already realized what this victorious Opasi wanted him to see.
That endlessly twisting Black Hole in the firmament!
Having experienced it once already, Lin Yi no longer dared to look directly at this black vortex that contained terrifying Power.
But this did not affect Lin Yi’s deduction.
The Deep Space Battlefield!
Obviously, the Celestials wouldn’t be making such a grand move merely to "explore the universe."
Just then, Opasi suddenly said:
"They’re here."
Lin Yi was taken aback:
"What?"
But the next moment.
A roar that made Lin Yi’s scalp go numb came from directly above his head.
Before Lin Yi could figure out what was happening, that so-called Celestial Lord suddenly raised the Golden Sword in his hand, pointed it straight at the heavens, and bellowed:
"Kill!!!"
A single simple word, yet even as a mere bystander Lin Yi felt his blood surge, as if ready to draw his sword and charge into battle.
However, just as Lin Yi was about to act, he was grabbed and held back by the Fire God Opasi, who said:
"Careful."
As Opasi grabbed Lin Yi, a special energy passed from Lin Yi’s arm, and his mind instantly cleared; his spirit steadied, no longer affected.
Before Lin Yi could thank him, he was already deeply shocked by the scene before his eyes.
"That is..."
When Lin Yi saw a hulking, hideous, humanoid Giant Demon, his mind immediately recalled the Demon he had seen in the Illusion Realm back in the Guanghan Palace.
Without time to think, Lin Yi suddenly looked up.
What he saw made his limbs go ice-cold in an instant, his heart filled with dread:
"This..."
All he saw was that above his head, countless Demons swarmed out of that massive Black Hole like locusts.
Just a moment ago, tens of thousands of Celestials already made this stretch of Deep Space seem utterly shocking.
But now.
As far as the eye could see, this starry sky had long been completely surrounded by endless Demons.
At this moment, these tens of thousands of Celestials seemed unbelievably small before the infinite Demons.
Staring at this dreamlike scene, Lin Yi could hardly believe it:
"Is this real?"
At this moment Lin Yi even began to doubt whether everything before him was a fabricated Illusion Realm conjured by the old man at his side.
After all, in the history of the Rafam Continent there was not the slightest related record.
The image of these Demons had never even appeared on the Rafam Continent.
Reasonably speaking.
With both sides making such a huge commotion, and with the Celestials being the leader of the Hundred Races on the Rafam Continent—
The Rafam Continent couldn’t possibly have remained completely ignorant.
Facing Lin Yi’s "questioning," a trace of indescribable bitterness flashed across the Fire God Opasi’s face as he said:
"No one wants this to be real."
In an instant.
A war like none before erupted in the depths of the universe before Lin Yi’s eyes.
Tens of thousands of Celestial powerhouses, facing that vast, smoky tide of Demons, charged at them with earth-shaking shouts of "Kill" at a single command from the white-robed man.
At this moment, every Celestial’s face bore an expression of facing death without fear.
In an instant, the World before Lin Yi’s eyes was dyed red by the spraying blood.
What did it mean for tens of thousands of Divine Level existences to strike at once?
Lin Yi saw the very void before him twist for a brief moment under the simultaneous Burst of that terrifying energy.
Multicolored Magic blossomed freely in this pitch-black universe.
He watched as one Celestial powerhouse after another passed by him, unstoppable, beheading Demons two or three times their size with their swords.
He watched as one hideous Demon corpse after another vanished into the vast universe like a torrential rain.
It was as if the Celestials bore an immense hatred for these Demons by their very nature.
From the Demons’ appearance to the Celestials’ counterattack, there was not the slightest hesitation or pause, nor any wasted words.
In the end, Lin Yi’s gaze fixed on the immovable figure at the center of the great battle: the Celestial Lord!
"What is he doing?"
Lin Yi was extremely curious. As the "Supreme God," if he acted, could he annihilate these Demons with a mere wave of his hand?
But imagination, after all, was only wishful thinking.
These Demons seemed utterly powerless before those Celestials.
Yet from certain details, Lin Yi could still infer that those grey-bodied Demons were all below Demigod Level.
The black-bodied, double-horned ones should be at Demigod Level.
And the crimson-bodied Demons with three horns on their heads and four wings on their backs should be at True God Level.
Because only Demons of this type could fight the Six-winged Celestial Race to a standstill.
Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be many Demons of this Level.
It was precisely because of this that the Celestials were given a chance to fight back.
Otherwise...
