CHAPTER 741: 177. DEMON CLAN INVASION_2

"Remember, capture cultivators alive as much as possible, and do not wantonly slaughter the mortals of the Human Clan."

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor swept his gaze across the Demon Gods and Demon Ancestors, and immediately waved his sleeve, "Depart."

...

...

Inside the Star Temple.

Lin Yue sat cross-legged under the starry skies, eyes closed, trying his best to restrain the power within his Inner Heaven and Earth while silently deducing the Inner Heaven and Earth Cultivation Method.

Now his Divine Soul could only hold on for a little more than a year, every moment was precious.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly—

"Seven days have passed, you can leave. In view of the fact that you have obtained one of the opportunities of the Star Mechanism, you may also enter and exit this temple at any time in the future."

A deep voice echoed within the temple.

At the same time, a huge portal slowly emerged beneath the starry sky, opening a crack for him.

"Oh? Not being forcibly expelled?"

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, as he had originally thought that once the time was up, the temple would expel him.

However, all the opportunities within the stars of this temple had been taken, so whether or not he could re-enter seemed somewhat irrelevant.

"I wonder how things are outside..."

Lin Yue stood up and immediately used the Power of Heaven and Earth to fly towards the temple’s gate.

As soon as he exited the temple’s gate, the world before his eyes transformed, and his Divine Thought began to sense many familiar connections.

Such as the connection of the World Token with Tianxia Building, the Imperial Seal with the Royal Secret Land, and so forth.

However, the part of the Primordial Spirit that the Second Prince had left on him was gone; it was probably expelled by the temple before the teleportation to the temple took place.

Being inside the Star Temple, cut off from all connections, unable to sense both inside and outside, was unavoidable.

"Hmm?"

As soon as Lin Yue flew out of the temple, he stopped dead in his tracks, looking around in surprise.

"Night time? No... this is Eternal Night!"

Though unable to see the sun during Great Yong’s nights, there were still the moon and stars.

Furthermore, it was just an ordinary night without anything special.

But now, Lin Yue could clearly sense the mysterious power within the nighttime around him, giving him a familiar comfort.

This was clearly Eternal Night!

"This place..."

Lin Yue furrowed his brows, closely observing his surroundings, "Isn’t this clearly within the territory of Great Yong Kingdom? Has the Great Yong Divine Formation been broken?"

Eternal Night posed no hindrance whatsoever to him, a member of the Ancient Human Clan; with his current strength, he easily saw very distant places and instantly confirmed that this was Yan State territory within Great Yong.

And the Star Temple was hidden within the belly of the nearby mountain.

"Hmm? There are also members of the Demon Clan?"

Lin Yue’s Divine Soul was close to collapsing, and he did not wish to release his Divine Thought, but merely with his vision, he saw that the Demon Clan had already infiltrated deep into Great Yong.

The Demon Clan had already broken deep into the heartland of Great Yong?

Lin Yue took a deep breath and immediately turned to look at the nearby mountain.

With his vision, he could clearly see the Star Temple within the belly of this mountain.

This temple was not large; from the outside, it appeared merely a hundred zhang across, but it contained a world of its own and melded with the heavens and earth, making it difficult to detect its existence.

"This Star Temple must be a hiding place for the Demon Clan."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and then reached out his hand, slightly channeling the power of his Inner Heaven and Earth, instantly taking the entire mountain and the temple within into the storage space of the Taichu Refining Divine Cauldron.

Clearly, the Star Temple had been brought into Great Yong by the Demon Saint of the Demon Clan, and since he could collect even the Demon Saint, of course he could do the same.

Although there were no more opportunities within the temple, it would be good for hiding.

"First, back to Di Hong City."

Lin Yue decided to return home first to see how things were.

Just then—

"Eh?"

He saw a vast, dark cloud fly rapidly from the horizon, halting not too far away.

That was surprisingly a grand army comprising hundreds of thousands from the Demon Clan!

Hundreds of thousands in the Demon Clan army, the weakest of which were at the Cultivator level of breaking through the Sky-breaking barrier, were now using this strange dark cloud to completely link the breath of hundreds of thousands together. The immense Qi had already locked onto Lin Yue.

Lin Yue glanced over.

Hundreds of thousands of the Demon Clan, the majority merely broke through the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier, a smaller portion broke through the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, and an extremely small number are Demon Kings who have broken through the Three Talents Heaven Barrier.

As for the Demon Saints... there are a total of eight great Demon Saints, and the one in the lead, from the aura of his oppression, seems to be a Heaven-defying Demon Saint?

From the formation-like black clouds, the combined might of hundreds of thousands of the Demon Clan could at least easily suppress the existence of a Heaven-defying Saint, right?

"This mountain has vanished? A powerhouse from the Human Clan?"

The leading Heaven-defying Demon Saint bore aquamarine-gold scales, appearing to be a member of the Royal Family from the Demon Dragon Clan.

At this moment, this Dragon Clan Demon Saint was somewhat surprised as he surveyed Lin Yue, and couldn’t help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha... I didn’t expect to find a Human Clan ascendant to Saint here? Your aura is so weak, were you here healing your wounds? How pitiful... Could it be you were the one who just packed up your Cave Mansion, planning to flee?"

During this conversation, the boundless black clouds had already spread out, enveloping the sky, and an invisible might locked onto Lin Yue.

His aura was indeed only at the Saint Level, and due to issues with his Divine Soul, the aura was even weaker, making him look like a grievously wounded, pitiable Human Clan Saint.

"It’s too late, become my merit."

The Dragon Clan Demon Saint immediately laughed and waved his sleeve, "Suppress him for me, I want him alive..."

Just at that moment, he noticed the young man who was a Saint of the Human Clan suddenly raise his head, his eyes looking at him indifferently.

As if staring at a group of insignificant ants.

"Boom!"

An endless gale suddenly burst out of nowhere, turning into a grey whirlwind that instantly spread across the sky, carrying terrifying might as it howled and swept past.

The weaker members of the Demon Clan had no time to react.

As for the Demon Saints who did react, they immediately realized the terror of the gale, their complexions turning pale and their eyes shifting from mockery to endless fear and despair in an instant.

They all understood—

They had kicked an iron plate!

"No..."

"It’s been a day, how can there still be a Proving powerhouse in the Eighteen States?"

"How could I die here! No!"

"Elder! Spare us, let’s pretend we never saw you!"

At this moment, each and every Demon Saint fell into despair.

However, Lin Yue naturally wouldn’t care.

"Hu—"

To the gale, the army of hundreds of thousands from the Demon Clan was as fragile as dust, instantly turning into the finest particles.

After the wind passed, the dust dispersed.

The smoke cleared, and the sky once again regained its silence under the spread of Eternal Night.

Lin Yue glanced around and vanished in an instant.

Although using Inner Heaven and Earth would consume his Divine Soul, it was just a trivial amount, much less compared to the consumption from the trials at the Star Temple.

He didn’t even need to think about what would happen with the Demon Clan invading Great Yong.

Naturally seeking to avoid detection, he wouldn’t leave any survivors.

After a few moments,

Two streaks of light flew from different directions towards the sky above the region at an astonishing speed, eventually halting in the air above this area.

They were none other than two Demon Gods.

"What happened? How could hundreds of thousands from the Demon Clan army turn to ashes in an instant?"

"Even a Saint with a Semi-Divine Artifact couldn’t achieve this, it must be the presence of a Proving existence from the Human Clan."

"I felt the intention of the wind, among the Proving powerhouses of the Great Yong Human Clan, those who are skilled in Wind Control... could it be the Third Prince?"

"The Demon Ancestors have not yet completely sealed Jingzhou; it might really be the Third Prince."

"Quickly notify the Demon Ancestors."

...

Lin Yue had learned the Void Path long ago; once the Ultimate Path opened up Inner Heaven and Earth, the Void Path had also been elevated to an extremely high level.

Crossing thousands of miles in an instant, all within a single thought.

Although the Sun Chasing Path was faster, for ultra-long-distance Teleportation, it still wasn’t as effective as the Void Path.

At the same time, before Teleporting, his aura had also been changed by the Ultimate level of the Formless Path, which was originally skilled in disguise, and was now far superior to the ability to change and disguise through mortal forms.

In this respect, he was equivalent to the type of Proving existence that was best at disguise.

Of course, in aspects like Void Transfer, offense, defense, and such, he was also at the Proving Realm level.

"Jingzhou is being sealed?"

Lin Yue looked in the direction of Jingzhou and took out the Imperial Order with a flip of his hand, "First, I’ll ask Second Brother."
