Chapter 626
Retreat is not in line with the temperament of the spirit world
While the Spirit Realm launched a massive attack on the Red Heart Society, Ye Lingtian and the Heart Demon God began their own fierce assault on the Spirit Realm.
Ye Lingtian was enveloped in a gray-white aura of the end, capable of devouring all things, while the Heart Demon God stirred up a mental storm among billions of living beings.
The combined force of the two was like two burnt-out comets, crashing violently into the spirit realm's boundary defenses, which were composed of layers upon layers of chains of order and runic barriers.
The violent energy collision unleashed a flash of light powerful enough to distort spacetime. To the slightly astonished perception of the spirit realm's will, a massive gash was torn open in the seemingly indestructible dimensional gate.
Ye Lingtian and the Demon God of the Heart, like a Demon God of Destruction rushing into the Temple of Light, instantly stormed into the inner realm of the Spirit Realm, filled with the cold, rational light.
Wherever it passed, order crumbled, runes vanished, and meticulously constructed nodes of rules were transformed into raging energy turbulence amidst the breath of the end and the psychic screams.
However, faced with the threat of invasion into their internal homeland, the cold, logical core of the spirit realm's will only ripple slightly.
[He did not choose to withdraw all his forces from the Star Abyss Battlefield!]
This is not in His nature!
If we retreat to defend as soon as the enemy attacks, how can we continue fighting?
[He even chose to completely ignore Ye Lingtian's rampage within the Spirit Realm, his attempts to force Him to stop.]
【threaten?】
A threat from ants?
Even if this insect manages to breach my gates and enter my palace, does it then possess the right to command me?
If the crushing of rebellion is halted by the chirping of insects, where is the dignity of the spirit realm?
Where does the order of the spirit world exist?
[Even more unforgivable is the Red Heart Society!]
This rebellious organization, which should have been trembling in the light of order, awaiting its final judgment, dared to rebel?
Unforgivable!
This desecration of order must be cleansed with the most thorough and swift destruction!
Thus, while Ye Lingtian and the Heart Demon God were unleashing a destructive storm within the Spirit Realm, the Spirit Realm's will did not diminish its power; instead, it slammed an even more immense force down on the Red Heart Society's desperately holding-up front.
This sudden surge in destructive pressure was like the final speck of dust that broke the camel's back.
The defensive system that the Crimson Heart Society had painstakingly constructed within the chaotic and fluid spatial structure of the Star Abyss instantly suffered a fatal blow.
The interception array assembled by the True God of Rules evaporated and dissipated like a thin mist under the sunlight under the torrent of order.
The colossal fortress, built against the backdrop of the Star Abyss environment, crumbled layer by layer under the blinding light of the Order Spear.
[In January of the Extraordinary Calendar 2499, the Crimson Heart Society faced its darkest hour.]
[Twenty-seven true gods of the rules! They fell like the brightest stars in the night sky.]
[They burned the last glimmer of their divine essence, attempting to halt the unstoppable torrent of order, but were ultimately extinguished by the cold, crushing force of that order.]
[Among them are six True Gods who have undergone transformation from the Abyss and the Spirit Realm.]
Faced with the will of the spirit realm, they didn't even utter a final divine lament before being refined by it, becoming the cold nourishment that sustains order.
This terrifying wave of deaths, like a final death knell, awakened those True Gods from the Abyss and the Spirit Realm who were still observing from within the Red Heart Society.
They coveted the secrets within the Red Heart Society, hoping to gain an opportunity for transcendence.
But at this moment, the value of these secrets becomes worthless in the face of an absolute threat to their lives.
[If you stay, you will die! 】
This chilling consensus instantly spread throughout the mind of the Transcendent God: Escape! Escape at all costs!
[In the instant the first True God tore through space and hastily fled into the turbulent currents of the Star Abyss, a silent mass exodus had already begun.]
[Just a few days!]
When the higher-ups of the Red Heart Society realized what was happening, the territory that had once housed dozens of cultivators who had transformed into True Gods was now utterly silent.
[Aside from the three Transcendent Demon Gods whose fates were already deeply intertwined with the Red Heart Society—the Source Demon God, the Star Demon God, and the Heart Demon God—who remained steadfast in their positions like pillars of strength.]
All divine power from the outside world has vanished without a trace.
Even the god of fire, who once swore allegiance, is now reduced to a few scorching embers on his throne.
He fled too!
The Red Heart Society, stripped of its last illusion of allies, is left with only its purest primal power, facing the terrifying behemoth of order—the Spirit Realm—alone.
In April of the 2537th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Ye Lingtian and the Heart Demon God's destruction in the heart of the Spirit Realm reached an unprecedented level of frenzy.
Ye Lingtian's Breath of the End eroded the very foundations of order like a plague, while the Mind Storm of the Heart Demon God turned the cold core of logic upside down.
[Even while Ye Lingtian was fighting against the power descending from the Spirit Realm, he allowed the Heart Demon God to plunder the essence of the Spirit Realm.]
This is all they can do now.
Since the spirit realm is determined to fight the Red Heart Society to the bitter end, they have no choice but to frantically increase their power on that basis.
However, on the other hand, it's precisely because the inner demon is here.
[Unless it was a demon god, Ye Lingtian would not have given up the opportunity to devour and refine the origin of the great world.]
However, this intense internal pain not only failed to subdue the will of the spirit world, but instead added fuel to the fire.
【insect!】
How dare they be so brazen!
【Then let your lair suffer a hundredfold, a thousandfold!】
The wrath of the spirit realm's will transformed into an even more brutal attack on the Star Abyss Battlefield.
[For every rule node destroyed by Ye Lingtian, ten times more Order Light Spears crashed down on the Red Heart Society's Star Abyss defense line.]
[Every chaotic region within the spirit realm created by the Heart Demon God is subject to a hundred times greater rules of confinement upon the True God of the Red Heart Society.]
The greater the losses suffered by the Crimson Heart Society, the more ruthless and reckless Ye Lingtian and the Heart Demon God became in their destructive methods within the Spirit Realm.
This creates a desperate, self-reinforcing vicious cycle.
The destruction begets even fiercer retaliation, and the retaliation fuels even more devastating destruction.
Like trapped beasts in an arena, the two sides fought fiercely on their own turf, tearing at each other until blood flowed freely, yet neither could stop.
[But the cold reality hangs like a sword of Damocles.]
At this stage, the Red Heart Society, in terms of both size and fundamental level, is far from being able to truly contend with the behemoth that is the Spirit Realm.
[Under the continuous and relentless impact of the Spirit Realm's will on the rules, the Red Heart Society's layers of defenses, built upon the advantageous location of Star Abyss, countless resources, and the blood of countless heroic spirits, began to crumble.]
All the struggles of the Red Heart Society seem so futile!
Fortunately, the Red Heart Society is now quite large, so even if the front lines collapse completely, the Red Heart Society can still hold out for a while. (End of Chapter)
