Outside the heavens, a dense mass of dark clouds churned, and chaotic divine power raged, unhesitatingly bombarding the barrier above the God race's encampment. The divine barrier erupted with immense divine power to resist, and in the heavens, in the sky, the two divine powers became entangled, spanning thousands upon thousands of miles.
The five Divine Lords of the God race stood in a line outside the encampment, their expressions all cold, their thoughts varied.
A guarding celestial descended, his expression grim. He knelt before the five Divine Lords, his voice clear and loud, proclaiming, "The reinforcements of the Desolate race have arrived. The Third Desolate Lord leads them, pressing towards our encampment. The defense forces are maintaining the divine power barrier."
He Li's expression remained unchanged. He lowered his head slightly, glancing at Divine Lord Yi Yao.
Divine Lord Yi Yao also noticed He Li's gaze. He subtly shook his head without revealing anything, then lowered his eyes, awaiting Shen Tu's command.
He Li placed his left hand on the saber hanging at his waist, a cold laugh echoing in his heart. A fence-sitter, an old fox.
Divine Lord Shen Tu looked up at the sky, calculating carefully. The God race's support troops would also arrive soon. In terms of numbers, they would be evenly matched, but that Barbarian Ancient True God was quite troublesome.
Xun He coughed lightly. Shen Tu glanced at Xun He. Xun He nodded almost imperceptibly, indicating that he would keep an eye on Yan Li. Kai Shu Ge
Although Shen Tu still had reservations, the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot. Gritting his teeth, he raised his hand and gave the order, "Engage!"
Shen Tu gazed into the distance, where streaks of golden light, thousands upon thousands, surged out of the heavens.
Shen Tu took a deep breath, his heart unsettled, but he still said to the four Divine Lords beside him, "I hope you will all fight with all your might to slay the enemy."
Xia Ye Qi remained silent, stepping forward. His figure was like lightning, twisting several times in the air as he charged out of the divine power barrier.
Yi Yao smiled slightly, his figure vanishing from his original spot. The next moment, he appeared on the battlefield.
He Li responded with a smile, "Naturally, we will fight with all our might to slay the enemy. With such a grand display from the Desolate race, I want to see what tricks these sons of bitches are up to."
After uttering his pointed words, He Li leaned back as if sinking into a lake. The space rippled, and He Li merged into the rippling space.
Outside the heavens, the vanguard forces of the God and Desolate races had already collided. The battle line stretched immensely, as if traversing the universe. The length of the battle line was entirely determined by how the vanguard forces spread out.
By the time He Li and the other Divine Lords arrived on the battlefield, it was as if a blood-red line had divided the universe from top to bottom.
A Desolate Lord, sword in hand, hovered in the starry sky, his bone-white sword planted before him. Regardless of the slaughter below, his gaze was fixed solely on He Li.
He Li looked up abruptly, drawing his saber with a sudden roar. A sharp saber aura shot straight into the starry sky.
The Desolate Lord shattered the saber aura with a sword strike and slowly retreated, disappearing into the boundless starry sky.
He Li nodded to Xia Ye Qi. Xia Ye Qi understood, his expression growing heavier. He glanced back at the God race encampment and gave He Li a nod.
He Li's figure twisted, pursuing. He charged into the starry sky and slashed his saber at the vast expanse. This strike was like a thunderclap in a clear sky, exploding completely within the starry sky.
In the part of the starry sky that He Li's saber had shattered, the Desolate Lord held his sword forward and charged towards He Li.
He Li's saber parried the sword, causing the bone-white sword to fly out of its wielder's hand. Simultaneously, He Li's saber also flew out. He Li did not panic. Instead, he punched the Desolate Lord's shoulder. The Desolate Lord was sent flying back a thousand feet by He Li's punch, crashing through meteorites before finally coming to a halt.
He Li caught his saber and was about to pursue the Desolate Lord when,
Suddenly,
Two extremely powerful desolate divine forces rose from both sides of the star river. Each was a net formed by the combined release of desolate divine power from five Desolate Lords. From the left and right, they converged, attempting to trap He Li. It was a net with no escape.
He Li instantly understood the meaning. These were the eleven mid-stage Universe Fusion realm Desolate Lords that Xia Ye Qi had mentioned.
The two nets of desolate divine power were densely interwoven with divine power. Divine power threads ran horizontally and vertically, pressing in with swift and dense combined force, leaving He Li with no room to escape.
He Li's expression remained unchanged. He sheathed his saber.
Just as all the Desolate Lords were bewildered, a sky-shattering, bloody killing intent erupted from the God race encampment in the distance. A bloody crimson hue dyed the sky above the battlefield, and patches of snow-white clouds merged into a single expanse, covering the battlefield.
"It's the Barbarian Ancient True God!"
"The Barbarian Ancient True God awakened by Xi Ming?"
"Kill He Li first!"
The Desolate Lords attacked He Li even faster. The desolate divine power on both sides became more restrained, containing endless killing intent.
A blood-red shadow shot up from the God race encampment, weaving and moving across the battlefield like a blood-red lightning bolt. In an instant, it appeared before He Li. He was clad in blood-red armor and wielded a blood-red battle halberd.
Yan Li glanced indifferently at the Desolate Lord standing with his sword in the distance. He tossed the blood-red battle halberd into the sky and, in a voice only he could hear clearly, softly chanted, "Shining Sparrow Seize."
The blood-red battle halberd hung in the sky, its blood-red outline radiating outwards, suddenly expanding. Its aura was magnificent, like a colossal pillar supporting the heavens, directly bracing against the two nets of divine power, forcefully blocking the combined attack of ten Desolate Lords.
Yan Li turned to look at He Li, his cold killing intent replaced by a gentle smile. "Go, I'll handle things here."
He Li gave Yan Li a deep look and withdrew.
Seeing He Li leave, the ten Desolate Lords immediately shifted their formation, dispersing the nets of divine power and unleashing their desolate divine power to try and stop He Li.
Yan Li flew back, appearing behind He Li. He unleashed a punch, and a vast blood-red barrier, like a shield cleaving the heavens, absorbed all ten blasts of desolate divine power. As the last blast of desolate divine power was shattered, Yan Li retracted his fist and caught the flying blood-red battle halberd.
Yan Li looked at the eleven Desolate Lords standing in a line, confronting him. He held his blood halberd horizontally and said calmly, "Cross this line, and you die."
The Desolate Lord with the sword had a sinister expression. He let out a low growl, "Kill him!"
Yan Li took a deep breath and swung his blood halberd. This battle was insignificant. Since he had spoken, he had to follow through.
On the other side,
The God race reinforcements arrived and quickly joined the fray, clashing with the Desolate race army.
Seeing the battle situation, Xia Kadu signaled Huai Xi to lead the demon kings to the rear battlefield.
"We can protect you here!" Huai Xi shouted.
Xia Min Ao smiled confidently. "I am a peak Realm God. Do I need your protection? Hurry up and go. Are you defying orders on the battlefield?!"
Although Huai Xi was worried, he still led the demon kings away and, along with the defense forces, resisted the Desolate race army that was impacting the divine power barrier.
Xia Min Ao glanced at Xia Ye Qi, who was battling a Desolate Lord, and then at He Li, who was rapidly returning. He grinned.
A Desolate Lord exchanged a punch with Xun He and passed by, charging directly at Xia Min Ao.
Xun He, with his back to the Desolate Lord, allowed him to charge into their battle formation and attack Xia Min Ao.
Xia Min Ao, as if anticipating this, turned abruptly to face the Desolate Lord who was charging at him. A smile of successful scheming played on his face.
Then,
He shouted towards the sky, "You old bastard! I'm about to die, and you're still not making a move? Are you really just going to watch me die!"
The next moment,
A figure appeared out of thin air in front of Xia Min Ao, extending a hand and firmly blocking the Desolate Lord who was charging at Xia Min Ao.
