Chapter 1274: Retreat
In an instant, a Warlock Monarch and 20,000 powerhouses above the Starry Sky Warlock rank stationed at the star were swallowed by endless flames and burned to ashes.
“A bunch of ants!”
The flamewell quasi-Empyrean’s figure fluttered, and he flew to the outer space and disappeared.
In a star’s outer space, light shone, and the ghostblade quasi-Empyrean appeared and flew towards a fleet.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
Alarms rose, and countless battle robots flew out of the fleet and rushed towards the ghostblade powerhouse.
Ever since the war between the two universes broke out, the major forces of the world of Warlocks have ordered a large number of weapons from Battle Demon Sect. Many powerful forces already have their own fleets.
Along with flashes of light, a rain of light submerged the ghostblade powerhouse.
In an instant, the huge fleet disintegrated, turned into countless fragments, and scattered.
The ghostblade powerhouse passed through the huge fleet and slammed into the star.
Boom!
Distorted blade rays erupted and sliced the star into countless chunks in an instant.
Countless human Warlocks turned into a rain of light, escaped the star, and fled in different directions.
As if there was an invisible hand in the void, one-forth of the rain of light exploded and turned into countless fragments, and blood splashed about.
“324th star was destroyed! The opponent is suspected to be a quasi-Empyrean rank powerhouse!”
“876th star was destroyed! The opponent is suspected to be a quasi-Empyrean rank powerhouse!”
“…”
At the headquarters of Human Supreme Council, intelligence reports arrived one after another.
The seven chairmen of Human Supreme Council looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
Wu Meiying sighed faintly, and her eyes shimmered with the shade of determination: “Sure enough, strength is everything. The chairmen can’t command Holies, let alone Great Holies.”
Wu Meiying’s talent is outstanding, no worse than Regina’s. However, since she craves power and influence, she chose to become a chairmen of Human Supreme Council. After becoming the chairman of Human Supreme Council, the progress of her strength became slow, and the gap between her and Regina widened.
A quasi-Empyrean rank powerhouse by far exceeds the scope of Human Supreme Council.
Voidholy Mountain is virtual forum located in the deepest part of the magic network built by the humans. Only quasi-Empyrean rank powerhouses can enter this forum.
In the center of Voidholy Mountain, there are 14 seats. With a flash of light, the virtual projection of All-Eyes Great Holy appeared in a seat.
Lights shone, and the projection of a dashing man with an aloof, sacred air about him appeared in the void.
The projection of the dashing man with an aloof, sacred air about him uttered slowly, “All-Eyes Great Holy, I heard you went to see Firmament Holy.”
All-Eyes Great Holy replied flatly, “That’s right! Wind Deity Great Holy!”
The dashing man is Wind Deity Great Holy, a quasi Empyrean rank powerhouse of Transcendent Imperial Court. He is one of the eight deities subordinated to Transcendent Lord.
Wind Deity Great Holy spoke, “All-Eyes Great Holy, my lord will soon wake from his slumber! Wasn’t it rather hasty of you to make a decision at this time?”
All-Eyes Great Holy answered indifferently, “The one who owns the Wheel of Time is the legitimate successor of Time Imperial Court. I have no reason to disobey my lord’s will.”
Wind Deity Great Holy’s eyes shimmered with enigmatic light, and he uttered, “A will. It seems that Time Lord has really fallen. Since he has fallen, my lord will be the only one to set foot into eternity in the future. For the sake of Time Imperial Court’s future, I hope you will consider it some more.”
All-Eyes Great Holy sank into his thoughts.
Lights shone, and a projection shrouded in starlight appeared at Voidholy Mountain.
The projection made of starlight is Myriad Stars Great Holy, a quasi-Empyrean rank powerhouse of Star Imperial Court.
Myriad Stars Great Holy glanced at the empty seats and said with a faint smile: “It seems that there are only the three of us.”
All-Eyes Great Holy frowned slightly and sighed slowly: “Those guys want to see Gumana Universe weaken the strength of us humans, want to preserve their strength through schemes. What a bunch of short-sighted fellows.”
Wind Deity Great Holy uttered, “All-Eyes Great Holy, can Firmament Holy take action? If he does, then those guys will be no different from dancing clowns who can’t withstand a blow!”
Myriad Stars Great Holy nodded and revealed the shade of expectation in his eyes.
When he took action previously, Yang Feng killed four ancient quasi-Empyrean rank powerhouses and slayed Black Ogre Emperor. He is now regarded as the No. 1 expert of the world of Warlocks.
All-Eyes Great Holy responded flatly, “He’s undergoing transformation! He’s preparing to take that step!”
Wind Deity Great Holy’s expression flickered: “He wants to take that step?”
Myriad Stars Great Holy sighed faintly: “That’s Firmament Holy for you! What should we do now? We’re faced against seven quasi-Empyrean rank powerhouses. Among them, there’s an individual that even if it’s me, I’m not their opponent.
Wind Deity Great Holy’s eyes flashed with a dignified color, and he asked, “Even you are not their opponent? Is that person really that strong? Who the hell are they?”
Star Imperial Court, whose powerhouses are proficient in prophecy, is ranked first among the eight Warlock Imperial Courts when it come to the ability to seeking luck and avoiding calamity. Even though they haven’t fought, Myriad Stars Great Holy can still predict the strength of the enemy through prophecy.
Myriad Stars Great Holy uttered, “It’s the shadowclaw powerhouse.”
All-Eyes Great Holy said decisively, “In that case, we will shrink the line of defense and pull back all our forces. Let’s stick to our foundation and give up the line of defense in the central starfield.”
Wind Deity Great Holy uttered with a smile, “Alright! Since they aren’t willing to help, then we don’t have to care about them either!”
Myriad Stars Great Holy frowned and glanced at the empty seats, yet remained silent.
In the world of Warlocks, there are 14 quasi-Empyrean rank powerhouses that resuscitated. However, only three quasi-Empyrean rank powerhouses appeared at Voidholy Mountain. Obviously, the other powerhouses don’t want to step in. They want to see the humans and the powerhouses from Gumana Universe consume each other’s strength.
In the central starfield, countless lights flashed as the fleets of human Warlocks retreated one after another and returned to the strategic locations of Human Supreme Council.
“The humans are retreating!”
“Damn it, those human bastards!”
“Those damn human Warlocks have withdrawn!”
“…”
All over the universe of the world of Warlocks, the other races were struck dumb and felt a chill rise inside them when they saw the humans retreat.
The powerhouses of Gumana Universe, who have been stifled by the humans Warlocks in the central starfield, poured out and surged towards all parts of the world of Warlocks like locusts.
Fights broke out one after another.
“The humans have retreated!”
“Since the other races of the universe only think about maintaining their strength, unwilling to cooperate with the humans, the humans naturally won’t fight on the front lines.”
“Sure enough, offense is the best defense.”
“Yingzhao Kongwu, do you want to gather our strength and attack Human Supreme Council? They are only guarded by three quasi-Empyreans.”
“No. The six Warlock Imperial Courts, who possess formidable underlying strength, are comparable to our sacred races. With our strength, we can overcome only one Warlock Imperial Court at most. Everyone will die in the process. But there’s one place we must attack at all costs!”
“Where?”
“Battle Demon Sect! Firmament Holy wants to become a Perfect (Warlock Emperor) step powerhouse! We absolutely cannot let him succeed! Or else, once he becomes an Empyrean, who knows how many life forms of Gumana Universe will die at his hands. We must kill him!”
“That’s right! Firmament Holy must be eradicated!”
“…”
In the void, seven terrifying wills reached a consensus and gathered together.
In the central starfield, Tier IV Hives flew out one after another, gathered countless powerhouses of Gumana Universe, and disappeared without a trace.
Battle Demon Sect’s branch floating continent.
A terrifying aura suddenly rose into the sky and sundered the firmament.
Within 1 million light-years, a tremendous amount of universe energies converged here.
“What’s going on?”
“Someone is attacking the Empyrean throne!”
“This direction, it’s Firmament Holy! Firmament Holy is attacking the Empyrean throne! He wants to be promoted to an Empyrean!”
“That’s Firmament Holy. He wants to attack the Empyrean throne. How dreadful! He has been practicing cultivation for less than 5,000 years. Has he already reached this stage?”
“Empyrean! He wants to attack the Empyrean throne!”
“Will the ninth human Warlock Emperor be born?”
“…”
Within 1 million light-years, when the powerhouses above the Warlock Monarch realm sensed the changes of heaven and earth, their expression changed dramatically, and they looked in this direction.
Along with flashes of light, numerous Holies and Great Holies rushed this way.
The birth of an Empyrean is a rare sight.
Brilliant Great Holy’s eyes flashed with a complex color, and he sighed: “Unexpectedly, he’s already trying to advance to a Warlock Emperor. That’s so fast.”
“Empyrean! He’s going to advance to a Warlock Emperor! Ha-ha! I, Huang Yihe, have taught a Warlock Emperor! Ha-ha! My luck is really great! Ha-ha-ha-ha!”
When Huang Yihe sensed the overwhelming aura, his eyes flashed with ecstasy, and he lost all composure.
“Empyrean! Warlock Emperor! Is our Battle Demon Sect going to give birth to a Warlock Emperor?”
Yu Jingang and the other former great elders of Battle Demon Sect looked in that direction absentmindedly, a look of incredulity in their eyes.
