“The dead can’t return. Hold your head high. The high priest had used his life for your survival. You need to grow even stronger. Only then can you exterminate the Dark Devourer Clan and avenge the high priest,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“The Envoy of Light is right. We need to hold our heads high and purify all those fiends,” said a ten-winged angel.
That angel was Pu Guangye, the strongest angel under the high priest. A third-stage God and the wielder of a battle cauldron, he was an incredibly powerful combatant. If it wasn’t for him and the other ten-winged angels, the City of Light would have been destroyed by the Devil Gods before Xiang Shaoyun could return with his master.
Of course, they still wouldn’t have been able to defeat the fifth-stage Devil God, so Ge Yi’s arrival was timely. These angels had dedicated all their time protecting the City of Light. They rarely showed themselves to the world. If it wasn’t for the Dark Devourer Clan’s invasion, they would have remained hidden until now. They were the angels’ strongest guardians.
“Our top priority is to complete the teleportation formation and move all the angels away. This place has been discovered by the devils. Before long, more devils will come,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“Alright. I’ll make the arrangements,” said Pu Guangye as a sense of hope finally rose within him.
The high priest had told them that the Envoy of Light would be their savior. At first, they had found it hard to believe. But now, they had no choice but to believe the high priest’s words. Xiang Shaoyun soared high into the sky and activated his divine dao eyes. His eyes shone brightly as he looked toward the outside domain.
There, he could sense terrifying energy undulations that were surging violently. He couldn’t clearly see what was happening there, but he could imagine just how intense the battle was. Upon seeing the intensity of the battle, Xiang Shaoyun no longer stayed in the sky. He landed on the ground and thought, My master will definitely prevail!
Sure enough, Xiang Shaoyun’s master appeared beside him shortly after. Several devil cores emanating powerful auras could be seen in his master’s hands. The devil cores were tossed toward Xiang Shaoyun as his master said, “For you.”
Xiang Shaoyun was completely stunned when he caught the devil cores. These devil cores were the size of a human head and contained a massive amount of devilish energy. Each core belonged to a Devil God. A regular devil could probably advance straight into the Devil God Realm upon consuming one of them. Of course, these cores weren’t as valuable for humans, but they were still god-grade items. No ordinary person would be able to obtain such a treasure.
“They’re all dead?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.
“Yes, but the dominion’s position has also been exposed,” said Ge Yi with a sigh.
Xiang Shaoyun asked doubtfully, “Are you worried that more dark devourer devils will come?”
“If it’s only the Dark Devourer Clan, we can kill all of them. But if the alien races from the outside domain were to invade, the dominion would be at great risk,” said Ge Yi.
“Outside domain aliens?” Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in shock.
He had heard of the outside domain aliens before. During the times of antiquity, the alien races had invaded the dominion. That period of time was considered the darkest age of humanity because an alien invasion was even scarier than a devil invasion.
Those alien races were incredibly powerful and much stronger than the numerous non-human races residing in the dominion. Back then, humanity had only expelled the invaders after gathering all their strength. Even so, humanity had almost been driven to the point of extinction.
One could imagine how powerful the alien races were. There were rumors that devils were, in fact, also alien races and their ancestral lands weren’t the Devil Domain. The ancestors of humanity had merely forced them into the Devil Domain and used them to train more human experts.
That was how humanity had grown stronger and stronger after each war. Back when Xiang Shaoyun had read this in history books, he had thought it was mere fabrications. But it seemed like what he had read was real after all.
“Looks like this isn’t an era of chaos. Rather, this would be an era of calamity,” said Ge Yi with a heavy sigh. He assumed a solemn expression and said, “Increase your cultivation as quickly as possible. Perhaps when you reach the Rebirth Realm, you will be able to bring some hope to humanity.”
“I’ll do my best, master,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod. “Master, I need to connect the spatial nodes between the City of Light and the Ziling Sect in order to move all the angels to the Ziling Sect.”
“Handle that yourself. Your master has something more important to do. I need to sever the spatial tunnel connecting to this place. Hopefully, I can delay the alien invasion,” said Ge Yi as he vanished into thin air. He had gone outside the dominion yet again.
At that moment, Xiang Shaoyun felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders. His master was the lord guardian and shouldered the mission of protecting the dominion. As the disciple of a lord guardian, he naturally needed to share some of the burden.
But with his current strength, he couldn’t be of much help. Xiang Shaoyun returned to the City of Light and gathered Pu Guangye and the remaining ten-winged angels. He informed them of his previous agreement with the high priest, telling them his plan of connecting the spatial nodes between the City of Light and the Ziling Sect.
The angels all nodded in agreement. Since they had acknowledged Xiang Shaoyun’s identity, they viewed him as one of them. And thus, Xiang Shaoyun had Pu Guangye connect the nodes between the two teleportation formations. As for the others, they would be in charge of placating the other angels and making preparations for the migration.
As a ten-winged angel, Pu Guangye was able to quickly connect the spatial nodes. He took only seven days to reach the spatial node above the Ziling Sect. The moment Pu Guangye arrived, Purple Lightning Marquis appeared and nearly killed Pu Guangye. Pu Guangye was also alarmed when he sensed Purple Lightning Marquis’s terrifying strength.
“Purple Lightning, I’m connecting the nodes between the City of Light and the Ziling Sect. From now on, the angels will be the guests of our Ziling Sect,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“Yes, overlord,” replied Purple Lightning Marquis respectfully.
When Pu Guangye saw how respectful Purple Lightning Marquis was toward Xiang Shaoyun, he was incredibly shocked. He thought to himself, No wonder the high priest had looked so highly upon the Envoy of Light. Looks like he really is our race’s savior.
Soon, the two places were fully connected. Xiang Shaoyun immediately had people prepare an area to house the angels.
“Purple Lightning, help me connect the teleportation formation with the Fox Range’s formation,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he instantly got back to work.
“Overlord, why are you in such a rush? Did anything happen?” asked Purple Lightning Marquis.
“The Dark Devourer Clan has returned from the outside domain, and they might have brought the alien races to invade the dominion as well. Chaos has arrived,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh.
