Now that the Demonic Cultivator army had arrived, it was impossible to destroy the spatial passage. There was only one way left for the Heavenly Chen Continent's people, and that was to fight with their backs against the wall.
The rulers retreated one after another. Seeing this, the Demon Emperors did not stop them. Obviously, they knew that it was impossible to stop the rulers of the Heavenly Chen Continent. Now that the Demonic Cultivator army had arrived, there was no need to be hasty.
They chose to retreat. At the same time, the voices of the rulers resounded throughout the West Sea Domain. They ordered everyone in the West Sea Domain, regardless of whether they were martial artists or civilians, to retreat immediately.
The spatial passage was located in the West Sea Domain. Now that the Demonic Cultivator army had arrived, it was impossible to protect the West Sea Domain. They could only order everyone to retreat to the Central Divine Realm and the other four domains.
The various cities in the West Sea Region were thrown into an uproar when they heard the Rulers' voices. Cultivators soared into the sky one after another. At the same time, ordinary citizens rushed out of the cities in a frenzy, fleeing towards the other four regions.
It was a mass migration. Looking at the densely packed figures below, everyone knew that only a small portion of these ordinary people would be able to leave the West Sea Domain alive. After all, they did not have any cultivation and their speed was too slow. However, no matter what, many martial artists did their best to help these ordinary people escape. As for how many people could escape in the end, it was up to God's will.
The rulers did not think that abandoning the West Sea Domain was a sign of weakness. In fact, it was a choice they had no other choice. If they defended the West Sea Domain to the death, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the Heavenly Chen Continent. After all, the Demonic Cultivator army they faced this time was not the remnants of the Heavenly Chen Continent that had been hiding in the Heavenly Chen Continent before.
Once the Demonic Cultivator army arrived, their first goal would be to occupy the West Sea Domain and use it as a stronghold to invade the Heavenly Chen Continent. In order to fight against the Demonic Cultivator army, the rulers had to gather all the forces of the Heavenly Chen Continent. However, the Heavenly Chen Continent had so many forces that it was impossible to do so in a short time.
Therefore, before gathering all the forces of the Heavenly Chen Continent, they could not fight the Demonic Cultivator army head-on. If they chose to defend the West Sea Domain to the death, everyone in the West Sea Domain would be annihilated. Fighting the Demonic Cultivator army with just the strength of the West Sea Domain was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.
They needed to retreat, give up the West Sea Domain, and then set up defensive lines in the Central Divine Region and the other three divine regions to stop the demonic cultivators. This was the best choice.
All the people from the West Sea Region fled to the other four regions. At the same time, rows of Demonic Cultivators in black armor strode out of the Space Tunnel. At a glance, this army of Demonic Cultivators numbered no less than a million. However, this was only the vanguard of the Demonic Cultivators. There would be more Demonic Cultivators descending on the Heavenly Chen Continent.
Led by several Dao Masters, the army quickly set up camp around the Space Passage after they arrived.
"Greetings, Demon Emperors." Several super experts of the Dao Master Realm stood respectfully in front of the Demon Emperors.
"How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?" One of the Demon Emperors asked as he looked at one of the Dao Masters.
"Demon Emperor, the reinforcements will arrive in less than five days," a Dao Master replied.
Within five days, the reinforcements would arrive in the Heavenly Chen Continent. At that time, the number of demonic cultivators would reach tens of millions.
Hearing this, the Demon Emperors nodded. Seeing this, the Dao Master Realm expert wanted to say something but hesitated. However, after hesitating for a while, he finally spoke.
"Demon Emperor, Lord Holy Master is now in seclusion. It will be difficult for him to come out in a short time."
Hearing that Lord Holy Master was in seclusion, the Demon Emperors were stunned. If that was the case, it would be difficult for him to come out in a short time. After all, at Lord Holy Master's level, it was normal for him to be in seclusion for a few years or even a dozen years.
After being stunned for a while, one of the Demon Emperors sneered and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just the Heavenly Chen Continent. There is no need for Lord Holy Master to deal with it personally. We can flatten it. Pass down my order. The army is to set out and take over one of the regions as our base."
Sure enough, after the demonic cultivators arrived, they immediately began to attack the West Sea Domain. There were tens of millions of demonic cultivators who would arrive in the Heavenly Chen Continent. Without enough bases, it would be impossible.
Hearing the Devil Emperor's order, all the super experts at the Tao Master Realm answered in unison. Then, the army of Demonic Cultivators in black armor spread out and started to invade the West Sea Domain like locusts passing by.
Along the way, the demonic cultivators killed all the humans they encountered in the Heavenly Chen Continent, regardless of whether they were warriors or ordinary people. These demonic cultivators were completely inhumane. They didn't even spare the infants.
They couldn't stop the demonic cultivators' attack at all. During this period, although the rulers led the warriors of the West Sea Domain to stop the demonic cultivators, they couldn't protect everyone. Although some people were saved, most of them were mercilessly slaughtered by the demonic cultivators in the end.
In the end, less than forty percent of the ordinary people of the West Sea Domain managed to escape. The remaining sixty percent all died. For a time, the West Sea Domain seemed to have turned into a purgatory on earth. The dense smell of blood seemed to have dyed the sky red.
The casualties were disastrous. This was the embodiment of the demonic cultivators' brutality. Following the massacre, the cities of the West Sea Domain were captured one after another.
While the demonic cultivators were wantonly invading the West Sea Domain, the rulers who successfully protected a small number of people from the West Sea Domain returned to Heavenly Stellar Mountain. This was the center of the Heavenly Chen Continent.
On this day, a bell suddenly rang from Heavenly Stellar Mountain. The sound of the bell was deep and loud, as if it could shake people's souls.
Hearing the sound of the bell, many experts of the Heavenly Chen Continent said solemnly. "Heavenly Stellar Bell …"
The Heavenly Stellar Bell was said to have been left behind since ancient times. It would only ring when something big happened in the Heavenly Chen Continent. It was said that the bell already had a weapon spirit. It would only ring when it sensed danger. In other words, once the Heavenly Stellar Bell was rung, it meant that the Heavenly Chen Continent was in danger. The bell was used as a signal to warn all living things in the Heavenly Chen Continent.
According to records, the Heavenly Stellar Bell had a maximum of nine rings. Once the Heavenly Stellar Bell rang nine times, it meant that the Heavenly Chen Continent was on the brink of destruction.
One ring, two rings … The sound of the bell lasted for a long time, hammering everyone's hearts. Finally, the ninth ring was heard. The Heavenly Stellar Bell had rung nine times. For a moment, everyone in the Heavenly Chen Continent was stunned. Had the situation really reached this critical point? The Heavenly Stellar Bell had actually rung nine times.
