High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 734: Chapter 390: Dongfang Ji’s Strength (Additional Update)_4

Qiong Jin Deity’s heart was bleeding.

His only disciple with a hope to ascend to godhood had died just like that.

With less than a thousand years of life left, he had no assurance he could nurture another Divine.

“Qiong Jin,” the Eastern Demon Deity said angrily, “I didn’t want to see this happen either. My loss is substantial too. The Eight Directions Fire Realm Array… its value rivals that of a True God Instrument, and the treasures mortgaged to the Immortal Ruins Civilization were all provided by me.”

This time, in terms of treasure loss, the Eastern Demon Deity suffered the most.

But he knew he was at fault and understood that all the war plans had been his idea, so he said nothing.

“War is always a risk,” the Eastern Demon Deity stared at the other, “To gain something, one must take risks.”

“Can treasures compare to my disciple’s life?” Qiong Jin Deity retorted.

“Both of you stop quarreling,” the Bei Yue Deity said coldly. “Think about how to deal with Dongfang Ji.”

“Given his strength, once he travels here through the Star Realm Passage, I alone can’t stop him.”

“When he breaks through and becomes a Pseudo-God within the territory of my Myriad Demons Civilization, his strength will skyrocket even more. What then?” Bei Yue Deity added.

Both deities fell silent.

What Bei Yue Deity mentioned was exactly what they feared and worried about the most.

Normally, external deities cannot descend onto the Dimensional Plane.

But there was one exception, that is, entering as a demigod and then breaking through… even if the plane’s origin repelled, they wouldn’t be directly expelled.

Dongfang Ji, terrifying even as a demigod.

Should he intrude into the Myriad Demons Civilization, break through to become a Pseudo-God there, and then conceal himself for a period of Concealed Cultivation, raising his Origin Power Cultivation, Star Technique, and so on to another level… even the powerful Eastern Demon Deity would have no assurance of survival.

The three deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization.

Bei Yue Deity and Qiong Jin Deity were both at the Pseudo-God Middle Rank, only the Eastern Demon Deity was a Peak Pseudo-God.

“From this day forward.”

“Bei Yue,” the Eastern Demon Deity said somberly, “I will also stay and guard at Demon Mountain Star. With the Origin Power Array compressing and reinforcing us, even if he is a Peak Pseudo-God, he won’t be able to break through.”

Bei Yue Deity nodded involuntarily.

She had long been stationed here, unconcerned precisely because of the Origin Power Array, which did not fear even a Peak Pseudo-God.

Now, with the Eastern Demon Deity joining, it would be even easier to guard.

“Now, I actually hope that he breaks through to become a god sooner,” Qiong Jin Deity said with a cold look in his eyes. “Every day he is not a god, he poses the greatest threat to my Myriad Demons Civilization.”

“From today, I will also stay and guard, ensuring nothing goes wrong.”

The three deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization had made the same decision—to jointly guard the Star of Demon Mountain.

…

At Feixing, outside the Star Realm Passage.

Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and Fang Hai, along with a large group of demigods, were quietly waiting outside the passage.

Only Lant Semi-Divine, still operating the grand array, hadn’t come out.

Suddenly, a streak of light flashed from the Star Realm Passage, and in a blink, it approached everyone.

“Teacher,” Fang Hai approached excitedly and bowed respectfully.

“Alliance Hierarch,” Li Yuan also wore a face full of joy.

“Alliance Hierarch.”

“Alliance Hierarch,” Snow Dragon Demigod and the rest also approached and bowed respectfully, their hearts filled with joy.

Though Fang Hai was now the Alliance Hierarch.

Yet the moment everyone saw Dongfang Ji, they instinctively addressed him as ‘Alliance Hierarch’.

“Teacher, how did it go?” Fang Hai couldn’t help but ask.

“The more than a hundred demigods left by the Myriad Demons Civilization at the Demon Mountain Star Realm have all been eliminated,” Dongfang Ji spoke very calmly.

The numerous demigods shuddered.

Over a hundred demigods? In less than a minute, they had been exterminated by the Alliance Hierarch?

But, considering Dongfang Ji’s strength, everyone realized it made sense.

Even if Dongfang Ji claimed he had slaughtered the deities of the Myriad Demons Civilization, no one would be too surprised.

“This battle at Feixing, I’ve been secretly observing,” Dongfang Ji nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone. “I have seen all your actions, and you have done very well.”

Always been here?

Many demigods thought.

“Alliance Hierarch, please forgive my impudence,” Tianhuo Demigod couldn’t help but say, “Since you were here all along, why didn’t you intervene to save them when Qinghe Demigod and the others perished?”

Everyone quieted down, even Fang Hai couldn’t help but look towards his teacher.

This was also the doubt in Fang Hai’s heart after knowing Dongfang Ji had been at Feixing all along.

If Fang Hai hadn’t made his breakthrough and stopped the first wave of invasion from the Myriad Demons Civilization, San Ye Demigod would have undoubtedly perished.

Teacher, why didn’t you intervene?

“Because of Sha Kun.”

“If I had intervened earlier, would the Myriad Demons Civilization’s Sha Kun Demigod come today, leading so many demigods?” Dongfang Ji stated, “My target was Sha Kun.”

“He has Pseudo-God Level insights but is still a demigod.”

“If I wasn’t here, could you have withstood this battle at Feixing?” Dongfang Ji’s gaze swept over everyone.
