Hu Mei glared at Jiang He begrudgingly and whined, "You're so naughty, Master!"
Then, with a shake of its body, it reverted to its true form — a hundred-meter-long white fox. Its entire body was as white as jade, and its nine tails were slowly wagging.
What the hell.
How is it bad or bad that I'm riding you in your true form?
I'm a seven-feet tall man, and my worldview is more upright than a square. Would I do something indescribable to your true form?
Jiang He complained inwardly as he walked up to stroke Hu Mei's fur, finding it soft and silky. Leaping up and landing on Hu Mei's back, he found the softness and softness of her rump especially comfortable.
Most importantly, Hu Mei's back was wide enough that she could even lie down and sleep.
"Should we go now, Master?"
Hu Mei asked in human tongue, and Jiang He nodded and instructed, "By the way, pay attention to stealth and don't let the Sky Demons notice me. I'm going for guerilla warfare this time, and my objective is to do my best to kill the Sky Demon legion instead of fighting them head-on."
"Hehe."
Hu Mei giggled. "Don't worry, Master. I'm best at hiding my aura, and even True Immortals would have a hard time finding me unless they are deliberately searching."
Whoosh!
Leaping up, she turned into a white flash and shot up into the skies.
Jiang He looked down to find that his home was shrinking in his vision. Soon, all of Lingzhou City, the Hua Nation, and even Earth were rapidly shrinking, and in just a dozen breaths, Hu Mei had shot out of the atmosphere and reached outer space.
Jiang He turned to look at Earth, and could not help feeling a jolt inside as he quickly cried out, "Stop, Hu Mei!"
Hu Mei did.
Jiang He directed his mystic energies and infused them into his eyes to look at Earth again, only to find that many illusory mountains and islands had been born on the beautiful blue planet. They were all shrouded in Spirit Qi and arrays, and Jiang He could not see through them even with his eyesight.
Of course, the main reason was that they were too far away.
Hu Mei appeared to have noticed Jiang He's confusion and said, "Master, Earth is known as the homeworld of humans by the many races in the universe … it naturally would not be this big. There are many grotto-heavens and blessed lands hidden in the void, and most of them were left behind by superior beings, with some stretching over hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles."
"Thousands of miles?"
"The radius of the Earth's equator is only a little more than 6,000 kilometers. Doesn't that mean that several of the larger Blessed Enclaves have the same area as the Earth?"
"Once all these grotto-heavens and blessed lands appear, won't the surface area of the Earth skyrocket?"
Jiang He was a little shocked.
He used to think that the Immortal Sects, Devil Sects, and Ancient Demon Cultivators were all that was hidden on Earth … Now it seemed that they were just small fries.
"Earth is the ancestral planet of the human race, the birthplace of human civilization. Legend has it that it is also the center of the universe. Countless human race experts once walked out of this place and swept through the universe. Naturally, it would not be as simple as it is now."
Hu Mei said, "Rumor has it that there is a great secret hidden on Earth. Whoever can obtain it will be able to transcend. That's why the Hundred Races of the universe invaded Earth."
Puzzled, Jiang He asked, "You just mentioned that countless human elites once walked out of Earth, but where did they go when the Hundred Races invaded? Didn't they come back to defend against the enemies? "
Hu Mei shook her head, indicating that she did not know.
Jiang He stared at the blue planet for a long while before saying, "Alright, let's keep going."
He was very curious about the secrets on Earth and could not help wanting to explore the grotto-heavens and blessed lands. Still, the most pressing matter at hand was to deal with the threat of the Sky Demons.
Hu Mei nodded and reverted to her original form, flying towards the depths of outer space.
Riding atop Hu Mei, Jiang He turned to look at Earth again and could not help wondering, "Are there any cultivators or elites living in those grotto-heavens? If there are, would they help when the Sky Demon Cult invades Earth? "
Heh!
Jiang He was amused by his own thought.
He could get an idea of how the immortal sects, demonic sects, and ancient daemon cultivators reacted when the Sky Demons invaded.
The immortal path was merciless …
Even if there were elites living in the grotto-heavens left behind by superior beings, they would not care about the lives of others.
That was why it was best not to hold out hope for those people.
He should solve things that he could solve himself.
At that very moment, Jiang He appeared rather gloomy.
…
Meanwhile.
Earth.
The Martial Arts Department (MAD), Jingdu City, Hua Nation.
Jiang He, who had been keeping an eye on the activity in outer space suddenly twitched, and quickly split his attention to sense it through the Star Map …
Moments later.
Clutching his forehead, Wang Hou chuckled bitterly. "The brat really went to Mars …"
Stop him?
Persuade Jiang He to return?
Jiang He had already flown into the depths of outer space, and Wang Hou could neither catch up nor contact him. Even if he could, would Jiang He return given his personality?
"Still, Jiang He probably has some confidence since he dared to go … at the very least, that vixen of his is powerful, and it would not be a problem for her to protect Jiang He at the critical moment."
Wang Hou stepped out of his office and stood on thin air above Jingdu City, looking up at the skies for a long time before breathing a long sigh.
A sense of helplessness arose in his heart.
He felt like he could not keep up with the times.
There was a time when he thought that his cultivation speed was the best in the world and his luck was peerless. Still, why did he feel like everything was going wrong after Jiang He showed up?
Sigh!
Wang Hou sighed softly again.
Landing inside Jingdu City, Wang Hou muttered, "I hope that Jiang He's attack would bear fruit. Otherwise, there is almost zero chance of stopping the Sky Demon legion even with the help of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Taixu Sect."
… …
On Mars.
The ancient planet was withered and barren, and there were not many signs of life on it.
The teleportation portals buried beneath the yellow sand were cleared out, and the three-million-strong Sky Demon legion had assembled around the portals. It was the Sky Demon legion.
Golden Pellets made up ninety percent of the three-million-strong Sky Demon legion, amounting to almost 2.7 million.
True Children numbered over two hundred thousand.
The remaining Yuan Spirits numbered around a hundred thousand.
There were much fewer Convergence-tier cultivators, just around twenty thousand …
And that number was almost every Convergence-tier cultivator on the hundreds of living planets that the Sky Demons had.
Above Convergence-tier, there were almost a thousand Sufferance-tier cultivators and over eighty Mahayana-tier cultivators. The most eye-catching amongst them was the Demon Lord of the Sky Demons. Demonic Qi surged around his body and he wore a black combat suit. His aura was peerless, and there were even hints of immortal might emanating from his body, indicating that he was not far from Heavenly Immortal.
And yet, the Demon Lord had his head lowered and appeared very respectful.
Opposite him stood four Heavenly Immortal Sky Demon champions.
The four Heavenly Immortal Sky Demon champions bowed and spoke in unison, "Greetings, Lord Molona!"
The million-strong Sky Demon legion replied in unison, "Greetings, Lord Molona!"
In a military camp, a monstrous demonic aura soared into the sky like a beacon. Inside the demonic aura, there was also a surge of immortal pressure. A burly man nearly two and a half meters tall wearing a set of blood-colored battle armor stepped out from the camp.
He carried a giant blood-colored combat blade over his back, and scanned the Sky Demon legion with a cold gaze before abruptly drawing his combat blade and declaring sonorously, "Warriors, the chance to serve our patriarchs has come …"
What came next was a poisoned chicken soup.
The Sky Demon legion's blood boiled at his words, and all of them knelt and cheered loudly.
"Tut, tut …"
In the atmosphere of Mars, Jiang He gasped in surprise and could not help exclaiming, "No wonder the Sky Demons could develop a Sky Demon Cult on Earth just by sending one of them. Aren't the Sky Demons a little too good at making poisoned chicken soup?"
"Master, what do you mean by poisoned chicken soup?"
Hu Mei had reverted to her human form right then.
She stuck very close to Jiang He, claiming that it was the only way she could hide Jiang He's aura and not be noticed by the Sky Demon True Immortal.
"I'm not bothered to explain it to you," Jiang He said. "Hu Mei, could we get any closer without being noticed by the True Immortal?"
Hu Mei thought about it and said, "If he doesn't deliberately scan the air with his divine mind, I could hide five kilometers away from the True Immortal without him noticing, Master."
Ten kilometers.
Jiang He mused to himself without saying a word.
Thinking that Jiang He was displeased, Hu Mei pursed her red lips and seethed, "Master, I could get closer to him if I'm alone."
"No need."
Jiang He waved her off and said, "Actually, five kilometers is a little close. How about this: bring me closer, and after I'm done throwing the hand grenades, take me to higher ground, regardless of the consequences, so that my Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades don't reach us."
Hand grenades?
That word was completely unfamiliar to Hu Mei, but since Jiang He had spoken, she would naturally do as he said.
Ooom!
Silently, Hu Mei led Jiang He as they dove.
They stopped around 1,500 meters away from the True Immortal.
With a turn of his hand, Jiang He took out one Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenade.
He thought about it and found it unreliable, which was why he took out 99 Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades to round it up.
Then, he found an inferior-grade sage rope and tied the hundred Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades together. Just as Jiang He was about to throw them, he heard Hu Mei exclaim softly, "Oh no, we've been noticed!"
"What?"
Jiang He shuddered, and the hundred Heavenly Thunderbolt Hand Grenades in his hand fell from the skies.
