Night fell, Water Rites Town.
On the second floor of a quiet and elegant restaurant, Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu sat there eating dinner together. There were no fire crystal lamps on the second floor, but instead, there were lanterns. Under the hazy illumination of the lanterns … … some lanterns were red, some were purple, and some were blue. The entire second floor of the restaurant was like a dream.
There were many pairs of men and women walking around.
Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu's appearance had slightly changed. As long as the lines of their faces were slightly adjusted, their faces would be unrecognizable to strangers.
Usually, when the two of them were in Snowrock Castle, they would occasionally come to Water Rites Town for a stroll.
"It's so lively." Jing Qiu propped her chin on her hand as she looked at the streets below. There were many people walking on the streets. Along the streets, there were all kinds of sounds of shops and restaurants trying to attract customers. There were also some luxurious carriages with mighty cavalry guards. With a glance, one could tell that these carriages belonged to wealthy nobles. Although many nobles and wealthy merchants were rushing to the provincial capital, every inch of land in the provincial capital was extremely expensive. However, every inch of land in the provincial capital was worth its weight in gold. Even the great nobles could only afford a small courtyard to accommodate their direct descendants. There were still many members of the family who lived in their own territories. Moreover, a large number of people had to stay in their original places to take care of businesses and so on.
Therefore, many small cities were still very lively.
To the Transcendents, there were many demons. However, to the entire world of the Xia people, there were very few demons. Under the pursuit of the Transcendents of the Xia people, the demons could only hide here and there. Only the demonic avatars of a rank 5 demon would come out time and time again.
The lives of the mortals were still relatively peaceful.
"Of course it's lively. Although Water Rites Town is a small city, it still has a population of a million." Dongbo Xue Ying laughed.
"Look over there, there are many people on the boats on the river at the end of the bridge." Jing Qiu said, "There are quite a lot of wealthy nobles in Water Rites Town."
"It's good to be able to live a befuddled life."
Dongbo Xue Ying smiled as he looked at everything.
The lives of the mortals were very peaceful. The wealthy nobles continued to live a befuddled life while the ordinary commoners worked hard to earn money. There were also many who cultivated hard, and there were also adventurers who wandered outside.
This was the life of the Xia people. This was what Dongbo Xue Ying and the other Transcendents had to protect.
If they fell …
Countless mortals would be bred in captivity by the demons, and their souls would be devoured in large batches. That would be the nightmarish days of the walking dead.
Suddenly —
Dongbo Xue Ying and Dongbo Xue Ying received news from the Infernal Palace on their communication wristbands at the same time.
"He actually failed?" Jing Qiu's expression suddenly changed.
"It still failed. As expected, there are no miracles." Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head. "This is going to be troublesome."
The Infernal Palace had just released a piece of news — The elites of the Evil Demons had invaded the small Transcendent World. The Xia people had tried to attack but failed. All Transcendents had to be careful.
Previously, when the Transcendents of the Xia people started dying one after another, everyone had already guessed that this was the worst case scenario. After all, they had history to refer to. In the history of the demon invasion, the invasion of the small Transcendent World had always been a headache for the Xia people, and they had never been able to solve it.
"A small Transcendent World can only be entered by Saint realm Transcendents." Jing Qiu shook her head. "Historically, the demons have always sent out their elites. Furthermore, they have always been setting up arrays. The possibility of breaking through them is extremely low. "
"That's right, elites." Dongbo Xue Ying nodded. "Below the Demigod realm, the demons have too much of an advantage."
According to the demon intelligence.
As of now, they had found a total of twenty-nine rank five demons! The weakest was at the level of the top ten on the Saint rankings, and there were at least three who were stronger than the number one on the Saint rankings. The main reason was that the intelligence was not accurate enough, and they could only obtain some rough information. This information was mainly obtained from capturing some demons and interrogating them, as well as searching their souls.
The first rank five demon was a demon called 'Ji Er Luo'. According to the intelligence, he had grasped hold of two grade three True Meanings! Among them, there was one grade three True Meaning which could be confirmed to have reached the stage two realm.
Grasping a complete True Meaning would continue to improve …
Along with reaching a higher realm, one would be able to condense a True Deity Heart.
This' Ji Er Luo 'was the strongest known rank five demon. At least in the hearts of those captured demons, he was the strongest. His combat power was even greater than Qiu Chi Bai's when he was at the Saint realm!
Other than Ji Er Luo, the others like 'Bi Ya' and 'Wu Lang' had grasped hold of grade three True Meanings.
That 'Wu Lang' had grasped hold of the True Meaning of Space Shatter, and he was a subordinate of General Yan Ze! Thus, Dongbo Xue Ying, Qiu Chi Bai, and the others suspected … that the one who killed Cheng Ling Shu was this' Wu Lang '.
"Demons are different from us," Jing Qiu said. "It's said that there are billions of them, and from the moment they are born, they would have to fight and kill each other. They gradually grow through battle, and the weaker demons would have long been killed or stepped on."
Rank three, four, and five demons would generally have reached the peak of the Saint realm in terms of their magical energy.
Just like human Transcendents, their Qi would reach the peak of the Saint realm! But combat power did not represent the same.
Based on their combat power, demons could be divided into ranks three, four, and five. Those who could step into the fifth rank … were the elites who stood at the very top of the countless demons.
… …
The failure of his attack, coupled with the strength of the demons, made Dongbo Xue Ying anxious. Before he grasped hold of a complete True Meaning, he could only watch on helplessly! His heart ached, but he could only endure!
"Snow Eagle." Suddenly, he received a message through his communication wristband.
"Palace Lord Chen," Dongbo Xue Ying replied.
"You should know the news, but you should understand … the more it is during this time, the more you have to endure," Palace Lord Chen transmitted, "Their invasion of the minor Transcendent Worlds is the biggest headache for us Xia people. It is almost unbreakable! But our generation is different. Because of you, you have grasped hold of the embryonic form of a grade two True Meaning. Furthermore, it is an extremely strong offensive embryonic form! "
"The moment you grasp hold of a complete True Meaning, with the offensive power of this True Meaning, even though there is still a gap between you and the top ten Demigods, you will not lose out to Gong Yu and the rest." Palace Lord Chen transmitted, "When that time comes, you can attack directly without entering the boundaries of the arrays. Your strength is endless, and you can attack continuously from the front, using brute force to break through the arrays. Once the arrays are exhausted, you will be able to break through the arrays!"
"I understand," Dongbo Xue Ying replied.
A grade two True Meaning was indeed very powerful.
But he was still too weak in terms of Qi. For example, after Qiu Chi Bai became a Demigod, his combat power had greatly increased. Now that he had a Deity weapon, his combat power had greatly increased. Thus, 'Qi' and 'weapons' were both extremely important.
Just by relying on a grade two True Meaning, he was only slightly stronger than Gong Yu and the rest. He could even match some of the more experienced Demigods.
"The news of you grasping hold of the embryonic form of a grade two True Meaning is still being kept a secret! You are our greatest trump card! I originally thought that even if you grasped hold of a grade two True Meaning, we would still keep it a secret. But there's no other way … they have now occupied five minor Transcendent Worlds. This is like five blades stabbing into the chests of our Xia people. We need you to go and pull them out! Only you can uproot them! "
"Mn." Dongbo Xue Ying gave a simple reply.
Yes.
Since his combat power was sufficient, he would naturally have to pull them out!
"The reason why I contacted you this time is because I need you to endure it! I'm just afraid that you will do something foolish at the most crucial moment, "Palace Lord Chen instructed. He had only done so because he was too worried.
"Don't worry. I know what's important," Dongbo Xue Ying replied.
"You grasped hold of the embryonic form of a True Meaning back at the Scarlet Cloud Mountain. I estimate that you should be able to grasp the complete True Meaning in around ten years or so. Ten years is nothing to the Demon War that will last for a thousand years. We can afford to wait! We can also afford to lose the Transcendents of the Xia people in ten years, "Palace Lord Chen instructed.
…
Day after day, month after month, year after year.
The war between the Transcendents of the Xia people and the Demons continued!
The Xia people had an intelligence network that spanned across the land to investigate the situation. As time passed, the Demons found it hard to hold back. There were countless humans right in front of their eyes. Just looking at them made them drool. How could they endure it for too long? Hence, they, especially the lower tier one and two Demons, began to secretly make their moves.
With the aid of the intelligence network and the patrolling Transcendents, the Xia people began to discover the Demons one by one. The Demigods were also dispatched everywhere, capturing the Demons alive time and time again.
As for the human Transcendents, they would occasionally be spotted by the Demons. Immediately, the Demonic Avatars of the fifth level Demons would attack them. Causing the human Transcendents to lose their lives!
Although according to the ratio of casualties, the number of Demons that were captured alive was higher! Ultimately, the number of human Transcendents was too small. Every loss made the Xia people's heart ache.
