Chapter 206: Retreat to Blue Star!

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Retreat to Blue Star!


The golden portal gradually shrunk, and the demons present relaxed completely.


In their eyes, it was impossible for anyone to enter the Secret Realm at this moment!


Who could appear right under their noses without anyone noticing?


It’s important to note that a joint attack from the demons present could make even a Totem-level expert hard-pressed to retreat untouched.


However, at this critical moment...


A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared!


The instant Gu Xing’s figure emerged from the void, he quickly retracted Fei Yue and Lilith into the Beast Taming Space with incredible speed.


At the same time, within the Beast Taming Space, Liu Li had already switched to the Guardian Angel Form, ready to strike.


"Liu Li!"


Gu Xing dared not be careless in the slightest, and as he summoned Liu Li, three major amplification skills erupted instantly:


"Soul Devouring·Start!"


"Sovereign Guardian·Grant!"


"Sovereign Celestial Grace·Grant!"


With these layers of enhancements, Liu Li’s attributes soared to peak state instantaneously.


Her twelve light wings fully unfolded, and the sacred radiance illuminated the entire entrance of the Secret Realm!


[Divine Angel (Liu Li)]


[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]


[Level: Commander Tier Four]


[Status: Guardian Angel Form]


[Power: 30000→240000]


[Constitution: 30000→240000]


[Spirit: 30000→240000]


[Speed: 30000→240000]


[Skills: Guardian Angel Form (Full Attribute Amplification 400%), Guardian Domain, Guardian Law (able to mobilize a trace of the Power of Laws)]


An attribute of 240,000 points was nothing to a few Half-step Totem-level demons.


The only reason Gu Xing sought to fully enhance Liu Li’s attributes was for a single purpose...


"Guardian Domain!"


Liu Li compressed the Golden Domain to its utmost limit, transforming it into a membrane as thin as cicada wings that covered her entire body.


Using this moment, she charged towards the entrance of the Divine Secret Realm with all her might.


The demons were momentarily stunned by this sudden change, but quickly regained composure.


"Audacious!"


"How dare an Angel Race appear here?"


The few Half-step Totem-level demons were the first to react.


They simultaneously attacked, and ten attacks enveloped in mighty Demonic Qi bombarded Liu Li from all directions!


However...


Liu Li did not pause in the slightest!


"Divine Protection!"


With a light exclamation, a golden protective barrier instantly expanded, enveloping her and Gu Xing securely in her arms.


Gu Xing looked up to see Liu Li’s unprecedentedly determined face.


At this moment, she held only one belief:


She must deliver her master safely into the Secret Realm!


The attack from the Half-step Totem-level demons was as swift as lightning, crashing heavily onto Liu Li’s back in the blink of an eye.


But to everyone’s shock...


"Boom!"


Amidst the deafening explosion, the seemingly fragile golden barrier didn’t move an inch!


The pupils of several demon experts contracted sharply, staring at this scene in disbelief.


They clearly sensed that the angel and the human she protected were only at Commander level, so why could they withstand their full-power blow?


And at this moment...


The assault from a Monarch-level demon was already closing in!


Liu Li was only ten meters away from the entrance of the Secret Realm, but the Divine Protection skill had already run out...


She could only rely on the Guardian Domain and Gu Xing’s "Sovereign Guardian" to withstand this wave of offensives.


"Boom——!"


Numerous attacks loaded with Demonic Qi poured onto the Golden Domain like a torrential downpour, and the piercing rumble shook the skies.


Liu Li’s face instantly lost all its color, with a trickle of golden blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.


However, the impact propelled her speed rapidly upward!


"Go!"


She gritted her teeth and, using that momentum, transformed into a golden streamer.


The last ten meters went by in a flash, and under the shocked gazes of the demons, Liu Li plunged into the entrance of the Secret Realm holding Gu Xing, their figures swallowed by the golden light.


This scene left the demons present in a temporary stupor.


Not only were the Monarch-level demons dumbfounded, but even the few Half-step Totem-level experts showed expressions of astonishment.


They could never have anticipated that, under such stringent defense, a human could still break into the Secret Realm.


"Damn it!"


One of the Half-step Totem-level demons clenched his fist tightly, causing his knuckles to crack.


They had clearly laid down a Heaven and Earth Net, yet they still failed at the last moment.


However, at this moment, another Half-step Totem-level demon suddenly sneered:


"Perhaps... this is a good thing."


The other few experts immediately focused their gaze on him.


"Although it was only for a moment... I saw the Divine Pattern mark on that human’s forehead clearly."


He licked his sharp fangs, "He is the recipient of the Human Race’s first Divine Pattern!"


With these words, the demon experts immediately had a glint in their eyes.


The plan to seize the first Divine Pattern had previously failed, and now the opponent was delivered right to their doorstep...


Why refuse a delivered Divine Pattern?


Besides...


Having entered the Secret Realm, can this human really obtain the second Divine Pattern?


It’s known that the demon elites who entered the Secret Realm this time are all carefully selected peak Commander-level powerhouses.


And moreover...


The demons have a terrifying advantage:


Whenever a companion falls in battle, the spilled Demonic Qi can be absorbed by other demons.


No matter how powerful this human may be, after eliminating some demons, a Monarch-level being might emerge instead.


At that time, no matter how strong he may be, he won’t be able to turn the tide!


More importantly...


Even if this human were lucky enough to obtain the second Divine Pattern, how would he leave?


Earlier, they were caught off guard, and the Ghost Race’s Void Ability exploited an opportunity.


But this time, they have prepared thoroughly.


If this human tries to repeat his trick, it’s an impossible feat!


The moment the entrance to the Divine Secret Realm reopens.


They would thoroughly seal the space of the entrance.


By then, both Divine Patterns would inevitably fall into their hands!


...


...


At the same time.


An urgent report reached the Longxia Country command center.


"What?! Gu Xing has entered the Divine Secret Realm?!"


Long Zhenguo slammed the table, his expression turning sharply.


Verocan’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this...


He knows better than anyone how many demon powerhouses are gathered around the perimeter of the Divine Secret Realm right now!


"How did they break through the encirclement?" Verocan murmured incredulously.


The Church Court Empress was also stunned upon hearing this news.


"Gu Xing entered the Divine Secret Realm..."


"Then the Blood Ancestor who is with Gu Xing must have also entered the Secret Realm?!"


At this moment, after quickly reviewing the information Gu Xing left behind, Long Zhenguo’s expression turned grave.


"Gu Xing stated in his message that he will definitely bring back the second Divine Pattern."


"However..."


"The demons will not let this pass and might launch a frenzied retaliation against the Human Race."


"Gu Xing suggests we immediately evacuate civilians back to Blue Star, keeping defenses only near the Void Gate."


Hearing this news, Verocan also furrowed his brows.


Though the demons are restricted from large-scale massacres of the Human Race by the rules, retaliatory attacks are inevitable.


Therefore, after urgent deliberation, the three decisively issued orders:


"Immediately execute the evacuation plan!"


"Evacuate all civilians back to Blue Star, and the entire army retreat to defend the Void Gate!"


...
