194: Eight Gods vs. Ye Chen

"If the Demonic Dragon were here, perhaps with the Chaos Laws, he could tear open this shield."

Ye Chen muttered, staring at the faintly glowing barrier in the distance.

Then, as if he thought of something, he drew a rift in the void with his fingertip.

"Norton! Come to the temple to see me immediately!"

He wondered if his miraculous Alchemic Art could remove this shield.

Norton was leading his subordinates in setting up layers of Alchemic Art formations on the World Tree.

Upon suddenly receiving a summons from the Lord of the Abyss, he naturally dared not delay and quickly stopped what he was doing.

Without even greeting the others, he left through the opened teleportation portal.

The teleportation portal led directly into the temple. Norton thought the Lord of the Abyss wanted to know about his progress during this time, so he quickly reported:

"My Lord, the Alchemic Art formations on the World Tree have already..."

Norton had just opened his mouth when Ye Chen raised a hand to interrupt him.

"Norton, I have a tricky task for you now. As you may have noticed, the Abyss is under enemy invasion."

"Currently, a Middle God and seven Lower Gods have sent elite troops to attack the Abyss, and they have already engaged the demon army."

"At the same time, a portion of the demons have counterattacked into the enemy's God Domain, intending to directly breach the God Domain Core."

"But the demons encountered a shield at the God Domain Core, which is centered on the believers' Faith Protection."

With that, a scene appeared before Norton's eyes, showing the demons attacking the "Faith Protection."

"This shield, called 'Faith Protection,' is extremely sturdy. The demons' attacks cannot shake it in the slightest. Study it and see if you can break it."

Norton's pupils contracted slightly, and he leaned closer to the image to examine it carefully:

"A shield centered on the power of faith? Interesting."

He was very curious about this shield. What kind of defense could render even powerful demons helpless?

In his opinion, although the power of faith could quickly enhance the strength of the gods, it also continuously corroded their souls and assimilated their thoughts.

Continuously absorbing the power of faith would one day turn them into "puppets" devoid of humanity, completely becoming a part of the world.

In the Alchemic Art world, due to the miraculous Alchemic Art, human faith was very weak.

Nor had he heard of anyone ascending to godhood by relying on the power of faith, so Alchemists had never deeply researched the power of faith.

Now, hearing about the miraculous effects of this "Faith Protection," Norton was extremely interested.

He stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then replied to Ye Chen:

"I have never seen such a structure. I need to go to the site to study it."

Ye Chen naturally agreed.

A teleportation portal opened beside Norton, leading directly to the connecting passage, and he quickly walked into it.

Meanwhile, within the Abyss, the disguise layer was already in chaos.

Countless dependents rushed into the disguise layer, searching for the God Domain Core.

And they also encountered blocking enemies.

Below the ground were dense Worms, on the ground were endless magical beasts and various low-level demons, and in the sky, dragons, Gargoyles, Chimeras, demons, and blood kin soared.

Facing the massive enemies from all directions, the entire Abyss was divided into several battlefields.

On one of these battlefields, Kalter commanded the demon legion to meet an invading force.

The Evil Eye Legion in the vanguard fired the first shot.

As the enemies drew closer, gradually entering attack range, the Evil Eyes also began to condense energy.

Their large, beautiful eyes shot out grayish-white rays towards the Shadow Leopards in the front row.

The Shadow Leopards hit by the rays felt their bodies rapidly weakening under the illumination, with various negative statuses stacking upon them, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.

Behind them, a group of Light Fairies with transparent wings noticed the Shadow Leopards' predicament. They immediately raised their slender hands and shot out beams of light arrows.

The Shadow Leopards hit by the light arrows did not dissipate in the light; instead, they fully recovered their status.

Then they accelerated their charge, directly crashing into the Evil Eye army and initiating a bloody massacre.

While the Shadow Leopards massacred the Evil Eyes, a group of Shadow Hounds darted out from the shadows, directly plunging into the Light Elf formation at the rear.

These Shadow Hounds had cultivated for a long time in the Abyss's shadow space, and upon reappearing, they were already Fourth-tier extraordinaries, having grown a second head.

And they were not only proficient in shadows but had also awakened the art of Netherflame, with their two heads constantly spewing dark Netherflame.

The Light Elves were startled and flapped their light wings, wanting to escape.

Amidst the dense Netherflame, some Light Elves managed to escape by chance, but before they could celebrate, they were cut down by inexplicable spatial fluctuations.

The demon troops, having finished off the Light Elves, did not reveal themselves but instead continued to press towards the ranged units at the rear.

In a team fight, kill the healers and archers first, then the warriors last.

With the addition of the demon troops, the situation instantly became clear. These ordinary dependents were no match for the demons, dying in wave after wave.

The top power of this invading force consisted of nine Light Elf Elders.

Seeing their side suffering heavy casualties, with the Light Elves almost completely wiped out, their rage soared to the heavens.

Led by the Light Elf Grand Elder, they began chanting melodious incantations.

Under theMotivation of the incantations, the domains of the nine Light Elf Elders rapidly merged and expanded, gradually covering the entire battlefield.

Under the Light Domain, the demons hidden in the shadow space and the Shadow Hounds in the shadows had nowhere to hide, forced to reveal themselves.

And their bodies also began to emit white smoke under the illumination of the Light Domain, and the intense pain made them howl uncontrollably.

"Kill!"

The Light Elf Grand Elder raised his scepter, preparing to lead his team to secure the victory completely.

Just as the Light Elves thought the situation was settled, the figures of more than twenty dragons suddenly appeared in the sky.

These dragons did not entangle with other dependents but charged directly towards the Light Elf Elders, spewing dragon breath from afar.

Subsequently, under the dragons' powerful strength and numerical advantage, eight Light Elf Elders were swiftly defeated.

Without the help of the Light Domain, the remaining dependents also suffered heavy casualties under the demons' slaughter.

And in other directions, the same scene was unfolding.

With the demon legions and a considerable number of demigods, those invading dependents could only die with regret on the spot.

Having defeated the invading forces, the demon legions did not stop but surged directly towards the connecting passage, preparing to completely eliminate the enemy.

And those more than twenty dragons also rushed into the God Domain.

While the horn of counterattack was sounded on other battlefields, only on the Troll battlefield were they retreating steadily.

Sixty-five Zandalar Trolls were dispersed throughout the battlefield, beating war drums to add various beneficial statuses to the Troll legion.

At the same time, large areas of domain spread from their bodies, firmly protecting their fellow Trolls nearby.

The battle between the Trolls and the demon legion was evenly matched. Within the domain's range, the demons had nowhere to hide and could only fight head-on.

The thick-skinned Trolls were not afraid of the demons, their thick wooden clubs forcing back one demon after another.

Outside the domain, however, was a different scene.

Facing the demons' elusive attacks, the Trolls could only passively defend, being beaten without any power to retaliate.
