Wang She had sharp instincts. If he said it was too late, it was too late.
After Zhou Bao exterminated the Dark Sect in the Heaven Realm World, a Devil Tribulation suddenly broke out in the Infinite Star Sea. The wisest demon jailed in the Infinite Star Sea for numerous years broke free first and opened the door leading to the Devil Realm. Just like those Devil Tribulations occurred in the past, the moment this door cracked open, flocks of Fierce Owls flooded the Infinite Star Sea.
When the Holy Alliance occupied the Infinite Star Sea, they immediately launched a redistribution of influences. No one in the Infinite Star Sea matched the Holy Alliance. Therefore, in the shortest period, all the original influences in the Infinite Star Sea underwent a purge, rendering the current Infinite Star Sea a temporary base of the Holy Alliance.
After the Holy Alliance conquered the Infinite Star Sea, the only sect daring to contradict the Holy Alliance was the Dark Sect. Well, in fact, the most they mustered was hold a patch of land to themselves.
However, as the Devil Tribulation went on, the Holy Alliance suddenly lost all its advantages. After all, the Holy Alliance merely stationed a fleet in the Infinite Star Sea, not their main force. Although the fleet acquired loads of Highest Heaven Celestial Device, when they caught the sight of those endless Fierce Owls, they retreated in time. This was a Devil Tribulation! A Devil Tribulation occurred in others' territory. Why should they fight back for others?
Hence, after one night, the Infinite Star Sea fell into enemy hands.
But the Devil Tribe did not give the Heaven Realm World a chance to rest. After occupying the Infinite Star Sea, they repaired the Transmitting Formation and snuck into the Heaven Realm World.
When a Devil Tribulation broke out, normally, the Devil Tribe hurtled to the Void Universe through a crack in the space or a passageway connecting the two worlds that suddenly appeared. However, the conditions for forming such a crack or passageway were quite demanding. The reason the Eastern Thunder World of the Easternmost Land suffered a Devil Tribulation was someone tampering with the Grand Transmitting Formation in that place. Meanwhile, the Dark Sect schemed this for many years, and the origins of a Devil Tribulation started.
But the circumstances in the Infinite Star Sea proved different, for there lived a Primordial Demon. As this Primordial Demon broke the seal, he also opened the passageway connecting the Infinite Star Sea to the Devil Realm, allowing the Devil Tribe to pour in. Nevertheless, the situation of the Heaven Realm World changed, for the passageway to the Heaven Realm World remained unopened. Even though the Dark Sect thought about opening this passageway and attempted to implement it, before they completed their task, Zhou Bao intervened. Accordingly, their scheme on opening the passageway met a dead end.
Now, to enter the Heaven Realm World, the only choice the Devil Tribe had was to use the Transmitting Formations in the Infinite Star Sea.
But another problem emerged. These Transmitting Formations connecting the Infinite Star Sea with the Heaven Realm World had been destroyed before. Although repaired, for the sake of the security of the Heaven Realm World, they only led to the outskirts of the Heaven Realm World just like those leading to the Eastern Thunder World. When people arrived on the vast planets or meteorites outside the Heaven Realm World, if they wanted to further enter the Heaven Realm World, they had to use the Transmitting Formations on those vast planets or meteorites. And this was also the most common method adopted by all the macro worlds in the current Void Universe in order to secure their safety.
As the Devil Tribulation broke out in the Infinite Star Sea, the Heaven Realm World instantly cut off all these Transmitting Formations on the outskirts. Then, if the Devil Tribe still intended to attack the Heaven Realm World, the only measure they could employ was to force their way in.
However, this was unrealistic. The capacity of the Transmitting Formations in the Infinite Star Sea was limited. The Devil Tribe sent their troops in batches. It took a long time to transport them to the Desolate Ancient Star Area. Moreover, if batches of their forces turned up in the Heaven Realm World one after another, the Heaven Realm World and experts from other macro worlds had an opportunity to crush them one by one. Only idiots adopted this kind of strategy.
The Devil Tribe was not so clueless to make such a mistake, especially when they still owned the think-tanker of the Devil Realm on their side. That wise Primordial Demon locked up in the Infinite Star Sea for several million years, kept producing Devil Fetuses ceaselessly and allowed them be snatched up by the mankind. Over these past numerous years, the Primordial Demon studied the essence of this Void Universe as well as seducing the living creatures in the Void Universe. This was how the Dark Sect formed.
This time, the Devil Tribulation in the Heaven Realm World was prudently plotted. The Devil Tribe contemplated every detail so as to guarantee complete success.
Thus, Marquis Wugu entered through the Transmitting Formation first.
The Thunder Emperor sealed the Primordial Demon, Marquis Wugu, in the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. His power plummeted after the long-term suppression, but never lost his touch. After decades of Single-minded practice, his power recovered to the phase of Divine Immortal. Adding that he was a very sophisticated Primordial Demon, his ability to comprehend and apply the power far exceeded what the present practitioners imagined. Therefore, once he stepped out of the Transmitting Formation, Marquis Wugu quickly took control of the situation.
Let's inspect the Heaven Realm World. When he learned the news about the Devil Tribulation in the Infinite Star Sea, the Human Emperor was appalled. Then, he immediately cut off all the passageways and Transmitting Formations connecting the Heaven Realm World with the outside. At the same time, he also dispatched a large number of practitioners to form a tight dragnet at each Transmitting Formations leading to the Infinite Star Sea. However, all his effort was in vain, because Yan Yuntian overestimated his own strength and underestimated the Devil Tribe's.
Although there existed some influences from other macro worlds in the Heaven Realm World right now, since they still negotiated with the Heaven Realm World, those ambassadors from various realms in the Void Universe naturally refrained from helping the Heaven Realm World for free. Hence, they all took a wait-and-see approach and remained inactive.
But this approach created a lot of trouble for the Heaven Realm World.
Marquis Wugu opened fire. He struck ruthlessly, almost invincible when fighting against all the experts stationed in the Heaven Realm World, no matter whether they were Human Immortal Patriarchs of those super sects in the Seven-deity Regions or the Human Immortal with Demonic Cultivation. Among those who battled Marquis Wugu, only one out of ten managed to return alive. Thus, the power of the top level forces of the Heaven Realm World diminished considerably.
However, no one believed the Heaven Realm World would be defeated so simply, because Zhou Bao, the top ranking expert in the Heaven Realm World who had killed an Earthly Immortal single-handedly, did not make a move. Plus, the surroundings of the Heaven Realm World were covered by the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, which was the most powerful killing formation of all time. If the Devil Tribe really invaded the Heaven Realm World, they would certainly sacrifice countless lives in handling the Yin and Yang Dust Formation and Zhou Bao's attacks.
Now, it was still hard to tell which side would gain supremacy.
Yes, the result still hung in the air.
"What did you say? Just wait a bit longer? What are you waiting for? Didn't you know the Devil Tribulation was going to occur a long time ago? What are you thinking?" Seeing Zhou Bao's composed face, Yan Yuntian almost started yelling."Now the Devil Tribe is just outside the door of the Heaven Realm World. They've already encircled us. If you strike out now, you may have a chance to destroy them all. But if you wait a bit longer, even you will not be able to take them down!"
"I told you that a Devil Tribulation would break out, but you didn't listen. Now I've wiped out the Dark Sect in the Heaven Realm World, so the Devil Tribe has no way to crack an opening in Heaven Realm World again. With the Yin and Yang Dust Formation guarding us on the outside, I believe the Devil Tribe cannot break in without suffering great losses."
"But—"
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I'm very clear about the power of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. Relax. These devious brats have no chance to break my formation. Even an Earthly Immortal can't achieve that!" Zhou Bao waved his hands dismissively."So, you don't need to worry about this!"
"Don't worry? How can I not worry about this matter? I'm the Human Emperor. My fate is intertwined with the Heaven Realm World. If something happens to the Heaven Realm World, I'll be doomed eternally. How can I sleep on this matter?"
"You can just take a break, everything will be fine!" At the sight of the incensed Yan Yuntian, Zhou Bao sniggered."And, stop sending out more combatants. You're just sending them to die. I know how much strength the Heaven Realm World has. Even one Human Immortal is quite valuable to us. So, don't send them to die. It's futile!"
"Then, how long shall we wait?"
"It's not about how much time we wait. Father-in-law, don't you see? If the Yin and Yang Dust Formation fails, I won't be able to block the devils out, either. This is a Devil Tribulation, not a common tribulation. Now, the key is not our Heaven Realm World but the whole Void Universe. The most crucial thing is whether we can persuade other macro worlds and other allies to back us up. So when we attack doesn't matter one bit!" Zhou Bao stood up, staring at Yan Yuntian with a sense of helplessness."Other supporters want to reopen the passageway of the Void Immortal Realm and gain some ancient treasures in the Heaven Realm World. Being our Human Emperor, you call the shots on such dealings. Please speed up the negotiation process. We alone cannot fend off the Devil Tribulation. Only by uniting other macro worlds and obtaining the help of other practitioners in the Void Universe can we hope to win!"
"Do you have any idea about how much effort I've exerted to protect our Heaven Realm World?"
"But do you understand that once the Heaven Realm World is lost, you won't have the right to exert more? Put down the so-called profits for the moment, surviving is the crux of the matter!"
"You—"
Yan Yuntian lifted a finger and pointed it at Zhou Bao, attempting to give a retort. But a second later, he let out a sigh reluctantly and took his departure with his head drooping.
"You're really a realistic guy. You even didn't save any face for your father-in-law!" Wang She watched them as an aloof bystander. Seeing their conversation end like that, he taunted his partner.
"Why do you mock me?" Zhou Bao asked with a smile."What I said is correct! This is not a matter concerning only the Heaven Realm World. Now that others desire to gain some benefits from us, they certainly should pay a price. If they refuse to give us something in return, how can they take such huge profits from us?"
"From what you said, I can tell that you're relatively familiar with the passageway leading to the Void Immortal Realm, right?"
"Well, only a little familiar. Let us discuss everything when the Child-endowing Buddha returns. By the way, what's he been up to lately? I haven't seen him for quite some time."
