High-Level Martial Era

But the nine Yellow Dragons only had the strength equivalent to the threshold of a Semi-Divine. Naturally, intercepting the attacks of hundreds of Semi-Divines was like pouring a cup of water on a cartload of firewood.

Li Yuan’s Domain could only weaken it slightly!

If Li Yuan had broken through to become Semi-Divine and had cultivated "Heaven and Earth River" to the Fourth Rank Limit before deploying his Domain, the situation would naturally have been vastly different.

"Principal, let’s retreat."

"Your Origin Power has also been greatly depleted, and our strength is still not enough to launch a counterattack." Li Yuan sent a telepathic message, "If the Myriad Demons Civilization unleashes a few more Secret Treasures... you might not be able to withstand it."

"And besides, there are still so many Demigods in the Myriad Demons Civilization."

Fang Hai’s eyes filled with reluctance.

But his heart was very calm, knowing that what Li Yuan said was logical.

Compared to the Myriad Demons Civilization, their number of Semi-Divines was too few, and he was the only pillar.

Only by breaking through could he push back the massive army of the Myriad Demons Civilization’s Semi-Divines, allowing the Seven Star Civilization to continue guarding the entrance of the Star Realm... Continuing to pursue might allow them to kill a few more Myriad Demons Semi-Divines, but the danger to himself would also skyrocket.

The closer they were to the Myriad Demons Civilization’s entrance to the Star Realm, the more dangerous it was.

"Fine! Let’s head back." Fang Hai said somberly.

Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief; what he feared most was that Fang Hai, in a fit of rage, would continue the chase.

That would be too dangerous.

Now, Fang Hai could not afford to lose!

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Fang Hai, Li Yuan, and Liu Bing immediately turned into several streaks of light flying backward.

"Attack."

"Attack Li Yuan!" The Myriad Demons Civilization’s Demigods still attempted to attack Li Yuan... but they dared not engage in close combat, the distance was too great, and their flying speed was far slower than Li Yuan and his group.

Thus, after executing two rounds of long-range Origin Power attacks, these Myriad Demons Demigods could only watch helplessly as Li Yuan and Fang Hai dash through the Star Realm Passage and return to Feixing.

"Retreat."

"The Divine has ordered, retreat to the Demon Mountain Star first."

"Retreat!" The Myriad Demons Civilization’s grand army retreated in a massive wave. To prevent any accidents, they split into several squads, spaced apart by more than ten miles.

However, fortunately, no accidents occurred.

...

On Feixing.

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh! Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and Liu Bing flew out from the Star Realm Passage.

"We’re back."

"The Alliance Hierarch is back."

"Vice Alliance Leader Li is back too." A wave of excited voices arose, and many Seven Stars Demigods gathered around, surrounding Fang Hai and Li Yuan in the center, all appearing extremely excited.

Of course, the main focus was Fang Hai!

"Alliance Hierarch, you’re too strong!"

"An invincible Demigod! Another invincible Demigod!"

All the Demigods knew that the battle today, which had reversed the situation and ultimately led to the slaughter of so many Myriad Demons Demigods, was 99% due to Fang Hai.

Many had fiery gazes in their eyes.

Too strong.

Demigods like Snow Dragon Demigod and Blood Cloth Demigod, who were somewhat older, couldn’t help but recall the scene from over a hundred years ago.

Just like the Feixing battle back then, when survival hung by a thread, when the entire civilization faced extinction, Dongfang Ji had acted, defeated the Myriad Demons Civilization significantly, and established the foundation of the Seven Star Civilization.

Now, the scenario was almost replaying.

"Gentlemen." Fang Hai raised his hand, and the void immediately quieted down; all eyes turned to Fang Hai.

In the past, many older Demigods had some doubts about Fang Hai, given that he was too young and had not been a Demigod for many years.

And he had become the Vice Alliance Hierarch and Hierarch almost solely through Dongfang Ji’s support.

Many Demigods believed that after the death of Dongfang Alliance Leader, Lant Semi-Divine was more qualified to take over as the leader, even if ultimately handed over to Fang Hai, it should at least wait another ten or more years.

But after today’s battle, all the Demigods of the Seven Star Civilization were completely convinced.

Strength!

It was always immense strength that inspired trust.

"Today’s battle, we fought with all our strength to win, and as a result, three Demigods died," Fang Hai said solemnly. "The Myriad Demons Civilization’s grand army has temporarily retreated... but we cannot be complacent, we must continue to guard this place for a while."

"Could it be that the Myriad Demons Civilization’s grand army still dares to counterattack?"

"With the Alliance Hierarch’s strength, the Myriad Demons Civilization should give up on the invasion."

"The Myriad Demons Civilization has publicly revealed just one Semi-Divine Limit Expert, and this time they exposed that they had two, but one was killed, and the other is probably heavily injured."

"Their Demigods who died in battle number over a hundred, nearly thirty of them were at the Semi-Divine Peak."

"With such huge losses, does the Myriad Demons Civilization still dare to continue the battle?" Several Demigods spoke sequentially.

In their view, given the strength shown by Fang Hai, it was enough to make the Myriad Demons Civilization retreat.

"No!"

"In terms of real strength, I still fall short of my teacher back then," Fang Hai solemnly stated. "My teacher didn’t have the Origin Power Array back then... that was what truly scared the Myriad Demons Civilization and made them dare not continue to fight."

"If the Origin Power Array is breached."

"Collaborating with hundreds of Myriad Demons Civilization’s Demigods, with my real strength, it would be hard to win." Fang Hai shook his head, having a clear understanding of his own capabilities.

Many Seven Stars Demigods began to ponder.

"Do we have to keep guarding like this? Until when?" The Fire Demigod couldn’t help but ask.

"Not necessarily." Fang Hai replied. "In two to three years at the shortest, and up to about ten years at the longest, it should be about right."

In Fang Hai’s estimation, within another two to three years, his Source Power would cultivate to level 47, and by then his strength would truly be considered as ’invincible among Demigods’.

The so-called ten years.

That was Fang Hai’s envisioning that by then, Li Yuan should have broken through to become a Demigod... given Li Yuan’s displayed rate of progress, even if his Law Comprehension did not advance further, his strength was estimated to be close to invincible among Demigods.

By then, the Seven Star Civilization could truly consider itself stable.

"Furthermore."

"The Myriad Demons Civilization has only so many Demigods, if they keep gathering a large number of Demigods preparing to attack... it won’t be airtight." Fang Hai stated. "Once their grand army of Demigods disperses, we won’t have to be so tense anymore."
