275: Participate in the war

Along the way, Xiao Zhuo, through his conversation with Ban Xuanji, had roughly understood the situation of the Black Edge Legion and the battle at Tianjue Mountain Range they were about to reach.

The Four Great Legions of the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss are led by four Devil King-level powerhouses under Wu Sheng Saint Venerable.

The Black Edge Legion, under Demon King Luó, is one of them, ranking last among the Four Great Legions.

It commands five regiments and seventy-two battalions.

Among them, the Third Battalion belongs to the Devil King's Personal Guard Regiment of the Black Edge Legion—this regiment only has three battalions.

The Personal Guard Regiment Commander, Demonic Lord Yaoye, is of Yao Race origin and is loyal only to Demon King Luó.

The three Personal Guard Battalions have distinct responsibilities.

The First Battalion guards the Devil King, the Second Battalion is primarily responsible for wartime logistics and communications, and the Third Battalion is the spearhead for assaults.

Unlike other regiments, all three battalions of the Personal Guard Regiment are elites at or above the Demon Realm, and all battalion commanders are top Demonic Lords.

The other Three Great Legions are the Eternal Life Legion, ranked second, the Dou Demon Legion, ranked third, and the strongest, the Dark Acolyte Legion.

Except for the Dark Acolyte Legion, which consists entirely of Demonic Lords, the other Three Great Legions all have terrifying formations on the scale of tens of billions.

In the Demon Realm, a Demonic Lord is comparable to a Golden Immortal, a Demonic Lord corresponds to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and a Devil King is on par with a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

And Wu Sheng Saint Venerable is hailed as the strongest Quasi-Saint in the Demon Realm, with a status comparable to the Lord of the Heavenly Court in the Immortal Realm.

This time, the reinforcement of Tianjue Mountain was not because it was located at the border between the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss and the Blood Prison Abyss, but because an ancient Secret Realm had appeared there—a Shattered Realm fragment of the Demon Realm!

The space of the Immortal-Demon Realm is exceptionally stable; although powerhouses above the Golden Immortal level can cause small-scale damage to space, it is absolutely impossible to shatter an entire Demon Realm space.

The high-ranking officials of the Demon Abyss speculated that this Secret Realm was very likely the work of a Quasi-Saint or even a higher existence.

When the Secret Realm appeared, spatial anomalies illuminated a million miles!

Even though Tianjue Mountain is located within the Blood Prison Abyss, the anomalies were detected by the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss.

As sworn enemies, how could the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss sit back and let them enjoy the Opportunity alone?

War thus broke out.

Currently, the Eternal Life Legion has already invaded the Blood Prison Abyss.

The opposing side also dispatched the Berserk Blood and Raging Tides Legions, two of the Three Great Legions of the Blood Prison, to meet them.

Although the Eternal Life Legion is incredibly powerful, they are firmly pinned a thousand miles outside Tianjue Mountain, unable to advance an inch.

Therefore, the Saint Venerable ordered the Dou Demon Legion and the Black Edge Legion to mobilize all their forces!

The goal is not only to seize the Secret Realm but also to completely crush the Berserk Blood and Raging Tides Legions of the Blood Prison Abyss.

This has clearly become a full-scale war sweeping across the two great Abysses!

Half a day later.

The torrent of the Black Edge Legion's Demonic Army, led by grotesque floating fortresses, brazenly crossed the already breached border and finally reached the edge of the Tianjue Mountain battlefield.

The scene before them could no longer be described as a purgatory, but rather a three-dimensional and cruel killing galaxy suspended in the Shattered Realm!

The million-mile-long Tianjue Mountain Range had already largely collapsed.

In its place were countless massive war fortresses suspended in the air!

Their forms were hideous and terrifying.

Some were like burning skeletal giant cities, others like living fortresses where flesh and metal were grotesquely fused.

They were covered in thick energy shields, spewing destructive Demonic Energy cannons, fiercely bombarding each other!

The explosions' flames were like the birth and death of stars, illuminating the dim mountain range with flickering light.

The entire battlefield presented distinct combat zones.

At low altitudes, billions of Demonic Shadows, like a raging swarm of insects, weaved and clashed among the shattered mountains, floating giant rocks, and fortress gaps!

Demonic soldiers of the Body Integration, Undergoing Tribulation, and Mahayana Realm stages, riding various Demonic Lights, intertwined into a chaotic and deadly vortex of slaughter.

Saber Qi and Sword Qi tore through the air, Demonic Claws and poisonous breaths formed nets, and screams and roars were incessant.

Demonic Blood poured down like heavy rain, only to be instantly shattered into a sky full of blood mist by explosions.

A bit higher, hundreds of Demonic Lords, like brilliant meteors streaking across the sky, chased, collided, and annihilated each other!

With every move, the power of Law surged, the Dao was crushed, and space was torn open with dark cracks.

Violent energy shockwaves swept in all directions, easily vaporizing the groups of Demonic soldiers fighting at low altitudes!

Huge phantom Demonic Artifacts clashed in the sky, each impact like colliding stars, erupting with terrifying, vision-distorting ripples.

Above the Qi layer, several Demonic Lords were fiercely bombarding each other, with the top ones even driving Small Worlds to collide!

Their figures were like gods and demons; each exchange caused the Dao to thunder, space to collapse over large areas, time flow to become chaotic, forming transient and deadly Chaos rifts!

The aftermath of the battle transformed into destructive energy storms, constantly buffeting the Qi layer above Tianjue Mountain.

At the rear of the battlefield, two existences with auras as profound as an abyss and as terrifying as a prison were clashing with a terrifying will in the distance.

Although they did not directly engage, the mere collision of their wills permeated the entire battlefield with an invisible, suffocating pressure.

At the deepest part of the battlefield, a massive spatial rift piercing through heaven and earth was particularly striking!

It was like a grotesque scar on the firmament, its edges flowing with chaotic, undefined colorful light, emanating an ancient and majestic aura—this was the Secret Realm entrance!

The space around the rift was extremely unstable; violent energy turbulence formed a natural death zone, where anything below a Demonic Lord would die upon contact!

At this moment, the main force of the Eternal Life Legion's Demonic Army was transforming into a black torrent, desperately assaulting the defensive line constructed by the Blood Prison Abyss's Berserk Blood and Raging Tides Legions, relying on their floating fortress clusters!

The Demonic Lord Clusters were even more fearless, frantically assaulting the core of the enemy's front lines.

“Heh heh! This Eternal Life Legion is truly fighting with all its might! Fighting two against one, they can actually reach such a point!” Ban Xuanji stood shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Zhuo on the deck of a floating fortress, looking at the constantly colliding red and black torrents in the distance, and let out a cold laugh.

“Are they trying to snatch the first achievement?” Xiao Zhuo frowned slightly.

“Naturally so!” Ban Xuanji had an air of understanding, “The Eternal Life Legion has always been arrogant; besides those monsters from the Dark Acolyte, they don't respect anyone. How could they be willing to let us Black Edge and Dou Demon share the credit halfway through?”

Xiao Zhuo's gaze was like lightning, sweeping across the vast battlefield, and his powerful Divine Sense also surged forth.

As expected, the battlefield was clearly divided.

Those below the Demon Realm fought in bloody battles at low altitudes, those below the Demonic Lord level fought between the various fortresses, and those at or above the Demonic Lord level dueled in the high heavens and even beyond the Qi layer.

Energy fluctuations, like muffled thunder, continuously came from extremely high up.

This was the war of the Demon Realm!

Grand! Tragic! Soul-stirring!

“Brother Xuanji, when do we make our move?” Xiao Zhuo looked at Ban Xuanji.

The latter's expression straightened: “Soon! The military order should...”

Before he finished speaking, the token at his waist vibrated violently—this Demonic Lord token could both record military merits and serve as a communication device.

Ban Xuanji solemnly grabbed the token, his Divine Sense probed into it, and then he roared: “Brothers! Time to work!”

His roar was like thunder, shaking the entire floating fortress!

Thousands of figures of Third Battalion experts instantly erupted with towering killing intent, solidifying into a tangible presence!

Xiao Zhuo was also in the ranks, a hint of suppressed excitement in his eyes.

“Target—Blood Bone Demonic Fortress! Follow me!” Ban Xuanji's figure flickered, already shooting off the deck like an arrow from a bowstring, heading straight for a Blood Prison Abyss war fortress in the distance!

Thousands of black streams of light followed closely behind, tearing through the sky!
