As the curtain that could block the aura and detection was lifted, the monsters in the iron cages immediately appeared in the eyes of the higher-ups of the various forces.
They were ferocious and bizarre.
Even though they were restrained, their eyes were still filled with violence and killing intent.
"These... demonic beasts don't seem to have any intelligence?" asked one of the leaders.
"That's right."
This time, Old Yan was responsible for explaining. He couldn't let Sect Leader Tang answer every question.
Old Yan walked up to show his presence. Then, he opened the iron cage and condensed his source energy into a palm and took out a demonic beast.
The demonic beast was frozen in midair, unable to move. However, its eyes were bloodshot, and it opened its mouth as if it wanted to roar.
"These demonic beasts really don't have any intelligence. They're just weapons created by the wretches from beyond. At the same time, they're mediums for devouring worlds."
"Devouring worlds?"
"That's right." Old Yan paused for a moment. "The reason why the Extraterrestrial Devils invaded the Mountain and Sea Realm is to consume its World Essence. Once that World Essence is consumed, the Mountain and Sea Realm will become a world of death, its resources exhausted, and its Origin Energy scattered. Presumably....
Presumably, no one wanted to see that happen.
However, that was only the opinion of the Great Dao Sect.
Many of the God Domain experts felt that the Great Dao Sect was just trying to scare them. They were definitely up to something!
Besides...
Devouring worlds? Could the world be devoured?
Many of the God Domain experts snorted, but didn't show it.
Instead... they were more concerned about the visitors from beyond and the actions of the Great Dao Sect.
"The Great Dao Sect... might have a way to communicate with the outside world. No, they might even control the entrance to the Mountain and Sea Realm."
The God Domain experts of the Mountain and Sea Realm didn't believe that the world they lived in was the only one.
However...
Even pseudo-Saints would face more and more resistance as they flew up into the sky, until... they couldn't go any further.
They believed that if there was an entrance to the world, then the most likely place... was the Desolate Paradise.
There were countless treasures there, as well as many unknowns and mysteries.
Many of the top powers in the Mountain and Sea Realm had their Patriarchs come across certain legacies or treasures during their explorations of the Desolate Heaven. Because of that, they had been able to slowly grow into the pinnacle of power in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The Great Dao Sect must have found the most precious treasure in the Desolate Paradise!
When they returned, they had to expand their exploration of the Desolate Paradise!
Tang Yu couldn't read minds, but he could tell that many of the God Domain experts didn't believe him.
Or perhaps they thought that the Great Dao Sect was exaggerating.
He gestured to Old Yan.
Yan Dingtian immediately said, "You might find it hard to believe our words. Why don't we dissect a demonic beast up close first?"
Old Yan chose a few God Realm cultivators. Some were close to the Grand Dao Sect, while others were relatively neutral.
A God Domain Realm expert's eyes flickered as he sent his spiritual force into the demonic beast's body.
This was a God Realm expert who was good at mental attacks. He could better investigate the specific situation of the demonic beasts.
The other God Realm experts also used their own methods. Some dissected the demonic beasts inch by inch, some extracted the blood of the demonic beasts and transplanted it into a prepared experimental rabbit.
In a flash.
The mutant rabbit became berserk. Its eyes gradually turned scarlet, and its aura also rose quite a bit. However, in the blink of an eye, blood spurted out from all over its body, and it lost all signs of life.
Obviously, the transplant had failed.
It was just a simple and unprepared transplant. Naturally, it would not succeed.
But the change in the mutant rabbit's aura was noticed by the God Domain Realm experts.
Yan Dingtian said timely, "The blood and residue of the demonic beasts have a polluting characteristic. But the real horror is the red mist. Under the shroud of the red mist, even the intelligent race will be demonized and lose their minds."
"And being demonized is an irreversible process. After a mutant beast with a body full of treasures is demonized, it will become a demonic beast that only knows how to kill and only has a few valuable materials on its body."
This point.
Old Yan exaggerated the danger.
Aside from the fact that most of the demonic beasts were inedible, the material value was not much worse than the mutant beast.
There were also conditions for demonization. Ordinary animals and mutant beasts were easy to demonize. But the more intelligent the creature, the less affected it was by the red mist.
It was basically impossible for the intelligent race to be demonized.
Uh … Tang Yu suddenly thought of the kobolds, pig-headed people, and goblins. Probably … the possibility of them being demonized was not that small.
At this time.
The God Realm expert who was good at mental attacks suddenly opened his eyes. He actually took a step back, looking frightened.
"What did you see?"
The God Realm expert couldn't wait to ask.
This demonic beast was only a high-rank awakened demonic beast.
How could a dignified God Realm expert lose in front of a demonic beast that was only an awakened demonic beast?
"I-I saw a crimson planet. Hundreds of millions of demonic beasts roaring at the sky."
"Those demonic beasts …" He gasped, "They're not a single individual. They're … they're unified, like a whole war weapon. If I didn't run away quickly, I'm afraid …"
Tang Yu didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
Demonic beasts weren't strong. They could be killed with a trace of mental power.
But demonic beasts were war weapons developed by the demon race. Their fundamental purpose was to devour the world's origin for the great ruler.
In theory.
Deep in the soul of every demonic beast, there was a trace of the great ruler's imprint.
It was the same principle as every Reincarnator contained the imprint of the Temple of Samsara.
But erasing the spirit and soul of the demonic beast wouldn't trigger the imprint.
The imprint didn't contain any power. It was roughly equivalent to a trademark or logo. But if you cut open the demonic beast's soul layer by layer, it was equivalent to going deeper into the beast's lair along the network cable.
Even Lord Tang didn't dare to do that.
Of course, what the God Domain expert had discovered was that this particular demonic beast was connected to all of the other demonic beasts in the Mountain and Sea Realm, not the actual planet that produced the demonic beasts.
One after another, a few God's Domain realm experts who focused on psychic cultivation carried a demonic beast to investigate. They were much more cautious.
After a while.
Each of them had a solemn expression.
They believed the Daoist Sect's words a little more.
Of course, they were still dubious.
Many God Realm experts only believed what they saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears.
At this time.
Another garrison soldier pushed an iron cage in.
The curtain was lifted. It was an alien with scales all over his body. He was a Transcendent from the Tree Shade City Prison.
His mental strength had been shattered, turning him into an idiot. But his aura was still the same, and his eyes were scarlet.
"This is an intelligent race after being demonized. Of course, there are also experts in the demonized race who can maintain their sanity …" Tang Yu didn't plan to hide this. After all, it was easy to expose.
"But after being demonized, from the soul to the body and mind, you are imprinted. You no longer belong to yourself, and even …"
Tang Yu said something that made them all feel terrified.
"When the experts of a world or a race who have gathered most of the destiny of the race are demonized and branded, the entire race will be branded with the brand. From then on, the souls of all newborn babies will have the brand, and they will never be able to rise again for generations to come."
The Heart Demon Race and other subordinate races of the Devil Race had become vassals many eras ago.
Once they belonged to the great Ruler, there was no other way.
The entire race would become slaves.
This was also the reason why many of the top forces in the universe fought to the death.
In the conference hall, the God Realm experts were silent.
Not only the ancestral foundation, but even the hopes of future generations would be taken away.
If everything was as the Grand Dao Sect said, then they would have to fight to the death.
"When you return, I hope you can immediately inform the leaders of your clans that the Mountain and Sea Realm … doesn't have much time left."
The God Realm experts nodded solemnly.
All of a sudden.
They saw Sect Leader Tang take out a stack of beast hide paper.
"Although I believe that you won't abandon the Mountain and Sea Realm, to avoid any accidents, I hope that you will sign this contract."
Contract?
What contract?
Many of the God Realm experts' faces flickered. Was the Grand Dao Sect finally showing its tail?!
What they were most worried about was becoming the Grand Dao Sect's pawns.
Being used by the Grand Dao Sect to deal with those seemingly untouchable demons from beyond … was clearly the Grand Dao Sect's own problem!
Contract? No way!
Even if we die, we won't betray the interests of our races!
If we're forced into a corner, we can still take a bite out of you humans!
"Hmm?"
One of the God Realm experts scanned the contract with psychic power.
It was surprisingly simple.
There was only one condition, and that was that they couldn't join the demons from beyond.
Furthermore, if they did anything to harm the world, they had to stand on the side of the Grand Dao Sect and fight them together.
It seemed like … there was nothing wrong with the contract?
Even if they joined forces to fight against the demons from beyond, it was based on the premise that they truly wanted to devour the world.
The Mountain and Sea Realm was their root. If the demons from beyond wanted to destroy it, they wouldn't even need the Grand Dao Sect's suggestion to fight to the end.
As for how to prove that the demons from beyond had harmed the world …
It wasn't difficult.
The top powers had already gathered a lot of the world's qi flow. If the world was harmed, they would definitely feel it.
That was how honest the Grand Dao Sect was!
It was Tang Hao who had used the heart of a villain against the heart of a Saint.
After signing the contract, one God Realm expert after another left.
Their footsteps were hurried, and the VVIP teleportation portal's traffic reached an all-time high.
Three days later.
The leaders of the fifty-six top-notch forces, including pseudo-Saints and invincible existences, were all gathered in the Great Dao City.
A formal treaty of alliance was signed.
Of course.
The premise was that if the demons from beyond harmed the Mountain and Sea Realm …
Only then would the contract be effective.
Tang Yu rubbed his chin.
The first step of the plan had probably been achieved.
The next step was to divide the areas that each power was responsible for, and try to limit the possibility of the enemy Saint realm experts descending.
The news about the demons from beyond was still limited to the top powers and the high-level God Realm experts.
That was also part of the contract.
It was a high-level contract, and he had added some of his understanding of the laws, which made it very binding.
But after all, it wasn't at the level of a follower's contract. There was still the possibility of loopholes being found, or the possibility of bypassing the contract at a great cost.
The probability was about 0.001%.
Grand Lord Tang was a little worried, but he didn't have a better idea.
"Fortunately, the contract is signed by the top powers. Breaking the contract will damage the interests of the entire power and the entire race. The God Realm experts among them will also supervise each other, and …"
These were all God Realm experts with a foundation, not lone wolves.
With the fetters of their race and the reluctance to part with their family, they wouldn't be tempted by a little bit of power to join the Devil Clan.
This was the second layer of protection.
The third layer …
If there were God Realm experts who could bypass the contract and abandon their family, Grand Lord Tang would have to use physical protection.
The ends of the earth would be reached.
…
A few days passed. The top factions on the continent remained calm.
It was just that many God domain experts had begun to move around in secret.
South of the continent.
Adjacent to the Heavenly Moat mountain range.
In a border city hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the Great Chang Kingdom.
Mountain City.
This city was built by a construction team of Great Dao City. There were many tribes around it, both human and alien.
In Mountain City, there was a teleportation array that could accommodate two hundred people. It was the best choice for Transcendents in the surrounding regions.
This teleportation array was built a few years ago. It was the first phase of the strategic goal of building teleportation arrays to every corner of the world.
On the array platform.
The blurry teleportation halo dissipated as an expert with a dignified expression appeared. He took a step into the sky and instantly vanished into the horizon.
On the city walls of Mountain City.
A few human guards hired from the nearby tribes looked up and watched the stream of light vanish.
"What's going on recently? Why are there constantly experts appearing here?"
"That is a Unity realm expert?"
"I think it's a God Realm expert. Do you think an expert will fancy us and take us in if we hang around the teleportation array region?"
"You're thinking of peaches!"
"Wang Tiechui from the neighboring tribe was taken in as a disciple by an expert! It's said that the strongest member of our tribe, Hua Fangfang, has proposed marriage to Wang Tiechui! When will such good luck befall me!? "
"…"
Mountain City's teleportation array was the closest teleportation array to Nanze Kingdom, but it was still hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
It was considered far for Transcendents.
However, for God domain experts, such a distance was only average.
Nanze Kingdom was the only confirmed region with an abyssal chasm.
Furthermore, the chasm was rather large. Tang Yu couldn't figure out how many alien experts had descended behind it.
The God Realm experts from the various top factions were also very cautious. They only used various means to probe from afar.
However …
Tang Yu was in Tree Shade City. The moment he stepped out of the teleportation array, he received a rather surprising piece of news.
"A God Realm expert is heading straight for Nanze Kingdom?"
"Oh, forget it. There's no need to stop them. Just keep a close eye on them."
Tang Yu thought about it. It might not be a bad thing.
…
In the wasteland tens of thousands of kilometers away from Nanze Kingdom, there were at least two digits of God Realm experts hiding. They used their own means to observe the situation in Nanze Kingdom from afar.
Indeed, there was an overwhelming demonic tide.
There was no one alive in the entire Nanze Kingdom.
However, they didn't discover the expert behind the Grand Dao Sect Master's words.
Some God Realm experts were gradually approaching Nanze Kingdom, while others were still hesitating …
Suddenly …
A stream of light headed straight for Nanze Kingdom.
