1317: The Void

When moving deeper into the front-line battlefield of the Eastern Domain, especially after leaving the boundary of the Search Heaven Lock Earth Great Array, everything visible was basically black.

The vast Limitless Void was like a deep sea; front, back, up, down, left, and right, all that could be seen was the dark, ink-like "sea water" and the Void Realm Storms raging everywhere.

Here, cultivators below the Ten-Tier, even if they could withstand the Void Realm Storms, would be driven mad by the boundless darkness and the disorientation of losing their sense of direction.

However, the entire Limitless Void was not empty.

In that seemingly boundless darkness, there were scattered specks of light, which were the remnants of worlds shattered, resembling islands in the vast ocean.

These remnants endured the ravages of Void Realm Storms day in and day out, while also barely providing a foothold for every entity entering the Limitless Void.

Of course, currently, in this domain, these remnants have all become nests for Demon Calamity Monsters.

Deep within the vast Void Realm, dozens of world fragments of varying sizes were scattered, and these world fragments encircled a fragment comparable in size to an entire small world.

The extremely violent Void Realm Storms could not penetrate the interior of this fragment; upon reaching its boundary, they were blocked by a layer of black light even deeper than the darkness in the Void Realm.

This was precisely the main base of the Demon Calamity Monsters attacking the Eastern Domain, called Main Base Number Four by the Demon Calamity Monsters.

Although Main Base Number Four was comparable in size to a small world, it only had a bare piece of land; the mountains and oceans had been erased long ago when the world barrier shattered.

At the center of the continent, two colossal entities, thousands of meters high and tens of thousands of meters long, like mountain ranges, were entrenched; their massive and hideous bodies were covered in wrinkles, and their heads had dense compound eyes that continuously flickered with crimson light.

These were two Thirteen-Order Early Stage War Mother Nests among the Magic Tide Monsters.

At this moment, beneath the dense compound eyes of these two War Mother Nests, which appeared as vast as stars from the ground, a group of Demon Gods of various forms knelt on the ground.

Among them, the weakest in aura were at the Twelve-Tier Peak, while the strongest had already reached the Thirteen-Order Early Stage, and each of them surged with extremely evil Devilish Qi.

"Mother Nest, dozens more of our sub-bases deployed outside the living defense line have been destroyed. Currently, over a hundred sub-bases have been annihilated, which has led to the buffer zone expanding by over three million li."

A Demon God with Thirteen-Order Early Stage strength, a tiger head, and leopard print all over his body, respectfully said.

"That's right, since four days ago, the sub-bases in the front area have been continuously destroyed, and we still haven't found where the enemy is."

Another Demon God, also with Thirteen-Order Early Stage strength, echoed from the side.

"Mother Nest, we suspect that the living beings might be preparing a counterattack. After our previous offensive was repelled, they didn't pursue, which suggests they've been accumulating strength during this time."

A Demon God speculated.

"Hmm."

At this moment, the left one of the War Mother Nests, as vast as a mountain range, finally reacted.

"They want to launch a counterattack; this speculation makes a lot of sense."

"The guy who came to the living defense line not long ago, seemingly called Devouring Sun Demon God King, is very strong."

A thunderous voice sounded, mixed with an undisguised anger.

This made the kneeling Demon Gods press their heads closer to the ground.

The War Mother Nest speaking was named Altas, and it was he who had led the Demon Calamity Monsters to break through the Third Defense Line not long ago.

Originally, he had already advanced deep and swiftly, like a broken bamboo, into the Eastern Domain, but unexpectedly, Devouring Sun Demon God King appeared midway, forcing him to retreat.

Although the losses were not significant, and the resources plundered were even more, such an unexpected turn when success was imminent successfully made Altas resent Devouring Sun Demon God King.

The fact that this enemy did not pursue relentlessly and fight in his home territory had also vexed Altas for a long time.

So, they were accumulating strength, seeking another opportunity.

That also made sense.

However, Altas, who was thinking this, did not know that Devouring Sun Demon God King could not possibly launch an offensive on his own.

But Altas could not be blamed, after all, War Mother Nests like him were creations of the Reapers, with only a superficial understanding of the Supreme Universe's information, and did not know that Devouring Sun Demon God King was backed by the Demon Court of the Supreme Universe, nor were they aware that the current stalemate in the war was due to interference from forces within the Supreme Universe.

Currently, due to the overly slow progress, the Reapers' cultivation of War Mother Nests is basically in a hands-off state, a situation evident from the attention shown by various forces.

If the Reapers were truly cultivating War Mother Nests at all costs, those observing here would not be mere small fries like Devouring Sun Demon God King.

Of course, this also has something to do with the significant time flow difference between the Supreme Universe and the Lower Realm Universe.

After all, with a time flow ratio of one to one hundred, a decision made above would take a very long time to be implemented in the Lower Realm Universe.

"Send out reconnaissance teams and first gather clear information."

While Altas was enraged, the other War Mother Nest beside him suddenly spoke:

"If the living beings truly intend to launch a counterattack, we must adopt a defensive strategy to stall them in a short time, as Brague is currently in a critical stage of advancement, and we cannot divert too many forces from here."

Brague, mentioned by this War Mother Nest, was the only Thirteen-Order Middle Stage War Mother Nest among the Demon Calamity Monsters in the Eastern Domain, currently attempting to Breakthrough to the Thirteen-Order Late Stage.

"Brague's advancement is indeed of utmost importance. Once he succeeds, we will have a significant advantage over the living beings in this domain."

"However..."

Altas, hearing this, agreed, but then immediately suggested:

"Grem, I think the situation of the living beings launching a counterattack is basically true, after all, not long ago, the mental signal of Maradiaja, hidden in the area occupied by the living beings, disappeared."

"She had been hidden for a hundred years, not far from a Thirteen-Order Breakthrough, but was still discovered, clearly indicating that the living race conducted a very high-intensity cleansing operation in their occupied area, which must be preparation for a counterattack."

"I believe we should withdraw most of the forces from the sub-bases in the buffer zone and immediately organize a defensive line, otherwise, if we wait to confirm the news before forming it, the situation could be very unfavorable for us."

"This..."

The War Mother Nest called Grem pondered upon hearing this, and after a moment of thought, slowly said:

"You are right, but since we need to prepare early, let's prepare thoroughly."

"Half of the Thirteen-Order Demon Gods will go."
