Garter Domain, Adahua Planet.
In the Victory Palace's Academy of Light, Marrus pinched his eyebrows and sat down on a chair. He hadn't closed his eyes for three days. Ever since Orfasis had secretly gone to Eternal Night Star, the security of Adahua Planet had almost fallen on the shoulders of the Marquis. This was not a simple task. Marrus checked the various defensive systems of the Academy of Light over and over again to ensure that they were operating smoothly. At the same time, he had to keep an eye on the war in the Garter Domain to prevent the flames of war from spreading to the first planet of the Adahua Planet people. Even though the Marquis's physical strength could still persist, his spirit could not withstand such high-intensity work.
His assistant, Baron Woody, brought over a refreshing drink and said, "My lord, you should go back and rest first."
Marrus took two sips of his drink and shook his head, "No, if I don't make any mistakes, how can I face the Great Emperor?"
"But you won't be able to deal with anything that happens in your current state. My lord, let's keep an eye on this place first. It won't be too late for you to come back after you rest. "
A wave of fatigue swept over him. Marrus patted his head and sighed, "Alright, I'll go back and lie down for two hours. Call me if you need anything."
After Marrus left the command center, Woody patted the railing of the bridge and said to the people below, "Everyone, cheer up. We can't embarrass our lord. Keep an eye on him. We can't let the Barbarians have any chance to take advantage of him."
Everyone below agreed.
Woody was also busy browsing through the data. A moment later, he heard someone exclaim. Woody put down the data board and looked up. A statistician stood up and said, "Lord Woody, you might have to take a look at this."
"What's wrong?"
"I just discovered an abnormal set of spatial readings." The statistician operated for a while and displayed the relevant information on the big screen. On the big screen, a wave representing a spatial reading continued to rise, like a growing wave. "Ten seconds left, the reading will exceed the critical value. I reckon it will be a spatial passageway. "
"Location?" Woody asked anxiously.
"It's not far from our first planet. The specific coordinates are as follows."
After seeing the coordinates, Woody cursed, "Damn it, inform Marquis Maruf immediately. Also, inform the space fleet to prepare for battle. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the alarm went off. The big screen immediately switched to the outer space of Adahua Planet. A door-shaped spatial passageway opened in space. A steeple suddenly appeared from the passageway, followed by other buildings. Woody saw spires, arched bridges, terraces, and castles! Impressively, a huge castle slid out from the spatial passage. The image continued to expand, forming an indescribable sense of oppression. Woody almost suffocated. That castle was the starship of the Demon King Spenak, the carriage of the Emperor of the Demon Shadow Kingdom. However, this castle-shaped starship shouldn't have appeared here, because Spenak had invited Orfasis to Eternal Night Star. Why would it appear here?
Trap.
That was the only word Udy could think of.
Then, the Demon King's ship began to press towards Adahua Planet. This ship, which was almost the size of an island, continuously flew out from the bottom of its hull, which was disguised as rocks, and began to clash with the space fleet that Adahua Planet had set up near the satellite belt. The fleets on both sides shuttled back and forth, and brilliant fireballs bloomed in space every second. The Demon King's ship continued to advance calmly. A dark shield completely enveloped the ship, causing the artillery fire that landed on it to either be deflected away or absorbed by the shield. At this moment, a cannon slid out from the bottom of the ship. It was the main cannon of the ship. After three seconds of charging, a beam of light as thick as an oil bucket shot out from the muzzle of the cannon. As the ripples spread out, the beam of light stabbed into a battleship in Adahua Planet like a pillar, piercing through the hull of the battleship. Then, the battleship began to disintegrate and explode. A moment later, it had already turned into a ball of brilliant flames in the universe. The Demon King's ship drove straight into Adahua Planet's atmosphere. The protective shield rubbed out a flame, like two open wings.
When Marrus returned to the command center, the alarm was still ringing. The Marquis had the alarm turned off and asked Woody, "What's the situation now?"
Woody wiped his sweat and said, "The Demon King's ship suddenly appeared. Our space fleet tried to stop it, but the first stage of the interception has failed." Right now, the Demon King's warship has already entered the atmosphere. Judging from its speed, we should be able to see it in Golden City in 15 seconds. Its target is obvious. It's coming for Golden City. Now we have three other fleets setting off, ready to fight in the air. "But …"
The Marquis knew what he wanted to say. If Spenak came personally, this small number of people wouldn't be enough. Marrus frowned, thinking about the Demon King's motives as he arranged for his men to organize the defense. Apparently, Spenak had lured Orfasis to Eternal Night Star, so his goal was not the Golden Fire Seed, because the Golden Fire Seed had already been taken away by the Great Emperor. Now that the eternally burning golden flame on the Victory Palace had long since disappeared, Spenak was still here. It was obvious that he was not here for the Golden Fire Seed. Spenak had other plans, but Marrus could not guess the Demon King's intentions. The scope was too wide. Perhaps only Orfasis knew what he wanted. Unfortunately, the Great Emperor was not here. Marrus couldn't even think of a way to expel Spenak. After all, that was a Sovereign.
At this moment, a golden barrier of light rose up around the City of Gold. This barrier enveloped the entire floating island. But before an Utmost Exalt, it was nothing more than a trick that was better than nothing. There were already three fleets heading to intercept the demon king's warship. Ten seconds after the warship entered the atmosphere, the towering figure of the floating castle could be vaguely seen from Golden City, as well as its shadow on Golden City.
The warship continued to release small warships to fight, and soon, the battle in the air began. Hundreds of fireballs bloomed in the air amidst the roar of cannons. Martial law had been imposed on Golden City, and all non-combatants were to remain in the buildings. Golden City's defense system had also been activated. A moment later, the anti-air turrets armed the floating island into a floating fortress. But even so, it was difficult to give people a sense of security.
As the fireballs continued to appear in the sky, the Demon King's flagship released another fleet of battleships. However, one of them quietly left the formation and slid in the opposite direction. After activating stealth mode, the small airship completely disappeared from the battlefield. Right now, the people on Golden City were all attracted by the Demon King's ship, and no one noticed the whereabouts of the small airship. The earth quickly retreated beneath the airship. The airship passed through cities and crossed the sea. Finally, on the other side of the ocean, it began to descend. Forty-five minutes later, it landed in a jungle. This was a primeval forest. It was far from Golden City, and there weren't even any signs of human habitation here. With the level of development in Adahua Planet, it was very rare to see a primeval forest like this without any facilities. The trees here were tall and large, and any tree would require seven or eight adult men to hug. The forest was filled with strange flowers and plants that could not be named, and there were even rare animals shuttling through the forest. The airship stopped on a grassy slope in the forest, and someone walked out from the deck of the airship. As soon as he came out, the light in the space dimmed. It was as if the darkness followed him wherever he went.
No one would have thought that Spenak would not go to Golden City and instead come to this sparsely populated primeval forest. The Demon King seemed to be very familiar with this forest. After a simple identification of the direction, he lifted his foot and walked. Wherever he passed, no matter how bright the sunlight shone into the forest, it would become dim and pale. It was not until Spenak was far away that the original light would return. The Demon King walked like this, but his speed was not slow at all. In the blink of an eye, he had already traveled a hundred kilometers, and the forest environment gradually opened up. By the time Spenak stopped, he had already walked out of the primeval forest. In front of him was a grassland. This place was flat, so the abrupt mountain at the end of the grassland appeared very abrupt. In particular, the shape of the mountain was actually a regular triangle. If it wasn't for the vegetation on the mountain, people would have thought that it was a pyramid.
Spenak headed towards the triangular mountain.
The grassland quickly retreated beneath his feet, and behind him, a dark cloud quietly arrived. The gloomy clouds slowly rolled through the forest, blocking the sunlight and casting a huge shadow on the ground. This shadow followed Spenak's footsteps like a subject, all the way to the foot of the mountain. Spenak looked up and could see a temple at the foot of the mountain. Two red fireflies swam in the shadows. Just as he was about to step forward, the braziers on the stone pillars on both sides of the temple suddenly burst into flames. Following that, two groups of people strode out of the temple and lined up in front of the Demon King.
"This is the Royal Cemetery of Adahua Planet. No outsiders are welcome. Please go back." An old voice sounded from behind the crowd. The soldiers in a row separated to the left and right, revealing an old man at the back. The old man was very old, covered in age spots, his face wrinkled like tree bark, his eyes half-narrowed, and his back hunched, as if he would die at any moment. However, from time to time, a ray of light would shoot out from his half-closed eyes. It was obvious that the old man was not simple either.
Spenak raised his hand and pointed at the temple, "I want to take something from there."
"That's impossible." The old man said, "And there's nothing else inside except the bones of the previous emperors."
Spenak stopped talking and began to take the initiative.
The old man said sternly, "The Royal Cemetery is a sacred and solemn place. No matter who you are, we, the Tomb Guardians, will not let you step into the mausoleum!"
