Chapter 919: The Fire of War escalates, Danger Is Looming

Editor: Henyee Translations

Over these years, the situation across all nine domains of the Floodgate Realm was far from optimistic.

Moreover, the onslaught from the Abyssal Demons in the New World didn’t lessen in the slightest.

As the conflict intensified, the New World saw significant territories fall under the control of the Abyssal Demons, forcing the human cultivators to retreat.

During the period of Jiang Chengxuan’s seclusion for his breakthrough, several crises occurred, with the Eastern Sky Domain nearly losing its barrier three times.

A year into the second full-scale war, Saint Jade Arcanum launched a surprise attack on the Eastern Sky Domain, breaching the protective barrier.

Torrential barrier-breaking rains cascaded down like waterfalls, allowing the demon beast army to tear open a massive hole in the barrier, through which three Dao Integration demon beast saints infiltrated.

Shen Ruyan, Wen Yuxiao, and the elders of the Haoran Sect managed to encircle them in time.

However, the battle erupted within the domain itself, and many were unable to leave their posts to join the fight due to the need to sustain the protective barrier, leading to heavy casualties among the human cultivators.

The three Dao Integration demon beast saints, revealing their true monstrous forms within the Eastern Sky Domain, wreaked havoc.

Despite enduring attacks, they demolished numerous arrays and constructions with their formidable physical strength.

They primarily avoided direct confrontations with Dao Integration cultivators like Shen Ruyan, focusing instead on sabotaging various defensive setups, causing significant damage to the Eastern Sky Domain.

Moreover, under the destruction caused by the three Dao Integration demon beast saints, the protective barrier was on the verge of collapse.

It was only Leng Yuehua’s desperate activation of the barrier that narrowly maintained it, though she was severely injured in the process.

Shen Ruyan and others took this opportunity to eliminate the demon beast saints attempting to flee, killing them within the domain.

Later, Xue Ping arrived in time to prevent the domain from falling.

He stayed in the Eastern Sky Domain for half a year, leaving only after Leng Yuehua had recovered from her injuries with sufficient resources and resumed her position at the protective barrier.

This battle caused the Eastern Sky to suffer a huge loss for the first time and be dragged into a quagmire.

Two years after this attack, the demon beast race dispatched another stealth attack.

It occurred during a rare moment of peace, intended by the demons to lull the Eastern Heavenly Domain’s cultivators into a false sense of security.

That night, human Dao Integration cultivators were assassinated, and even Jiang Chengxuan’s senior sister from the Haoran Sect, Xie Xiangyao, nearly lost her life.

An eldarian Saint, borrowed by the demon beasts for his exceedingly peculiar innate divine power to pass through incomplete barriers, infiltrated the Eastern Sky Domain.

He aimed to sabotage the control disk of the protective barrier and assassinate Leng Yuehua.

Fortunately, an elder from the Haoran Sect happened to be nearby and encountered the eldarian Saint just as he was about to act, thwarting the demon beast race’s plot.

But under the unexpected and bizarre divine power of the eldarian saint, the elder from the Haoran Sect was ultimately slain on the spot

By the time Shen Ruyan and the others arrived, it was already a step too late.

Filled with rage, they struck back, avenging the fallen Haoran Sect elder by killing the eldarian saint.

That day, the human cultivators took the initiative to attack the demon beast army, launching a counterattack that ended with the slaying of numerous demon beasts, serving as a warning and bringing the incident to a close.

Had the demon beasts’ scheme succeeded, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

If not for the fortuitous discovery by the Haoran Sect elder, they might have indeed succeeded, leading to the inevitable fall of the Eastern Sky Domain’s barrier without the protective array.

Reflecting on this now, everyone still breaks out in a cold sweat.

They had a better understanding of the strangeness of the three realms.

Another crisis nearly breaching the Eastern Sky Domain occurred a few months ago.

On that day, the demon beast army launched a full-scale attack, and the human defenders met them in battle, with the fight lasting several days and nights.

However, this had become the new norm across all nine domains.

What was truly terrifying was the sudden eruption of an extremely horrifying demonic qi at another part of the barrier while the fierce battle raged at the Eastern Sky Domain’s barrier.

Initially, the defenders thought they were mistaken, but the pervasive demonic qi couldn’t be faked.

Shen Ruyan quickly led a team to investigate, only to discover the enemy was using some kind of demonic artifact from the Abyssal Demons to erode the barrier.

Shen Ruyan immediately unleashed the Five Elements Divine Thunder against the demon beasts.

However, these demon beasts, having chosen to fall into the demonic path, had significantly increased in strength.

The human cultivators were taken aback to find that the demon beasts had indeed sought the Abyssal Demons’ assistance to attack the barrier.

Furthermore, this demonic artifact evidently had a strong destructive effect on the barrier.

Given the Abyssal Demons’ infamous reputation in the Spiritual Realm, they could be said to be very experienced in invading other worlds.

This time, the demon beasts, having turned to demonic ways, presented a considerable challenge.

By the time the defenders of the Eastern Sky Domain arrived, the barrier had already suffered extensive corrosion, with demonic qi invading the domain.

In the ensuing battle against the demon beasts that possessed the bizarre powers of the Abyssal Demons, the defenders were caught off guard, resulting in many injuries among the cultivators.

Shen Ruyan single-handedly fought against a horde of demon beasts, relying on the restraining properties of the Five Elements Divine Thunder to barely protect the Eastern Sky Domain’s barrier from destruction.

She activated the True Thunder Divine Seal and used the Primordial Unified Qi Thunder to barely damage the enemy’s demonic artifact.

Following that, she single-handedly slew many of the demon beasts that had fallen into the demonic path.

However, the battle was still very fierce, and many people, lacking means to defend against the demon beasts, suffered fatal attacks and ultimately perished.

A large area of the Eastern Sky Domain was contaminated with demonic qi, causing irreparable damage to the barrier.

To this day, a demonic artifact still sticks out of that part of the Eastern Sky Domain, constantly eroding the barrier.

Despite numerous attempts, no one has been able to remove it.

That area has become a significant wound on the barrier, a hidden danger planted by the demon beasts that could be triggered at any time.

The Eastern Sky Domain must send people to patrol that area daily to ensure peace of mind.

Moreover, the continuous strong attacks by the demon beasts over the years have also caused a crisis for those defending the barrier on the frontal battlefield.

Now, massive cracks can be seen everywhere on the barrier.

According to Leng Yuehua’s calculations, in no more than three months, the barrier will not hold and will be breached.

Even with the Barrier-protection array, it could only ensure that the barrier would not completely shatter. However, repairing it was out of the question.

This means that in three months, the demon beast army will be able to openly enter the Eastern Sky Domain.

By then, perhaps the most brutal battle since the war began across the four realms in the Eastern Sky Domain will arrive.
