508: The Long War

Overall, it was still a great advantage.

The various biological methods of the Universe side were inherently good at collective combat.

They hadn't released them before for fear that the Heavenly Realm would destroy the Universe.

Now that they had turned hostile and had allies, they would unleash everything powerful they had.

Various specialized lethal biological weapons gave the Universe side a great advantage.

In terms of high-end combat power, they also didn't suffer any losses.

However, there were now several main factors that could overturn the War.

Firstly, the Heavenly Realm could catch its breath and free the God Kings affected by Soul severance.

Secondly, the Mandate of Heaven breakthrough.

Thirdly, the Demons and the Heavenly Realm could bury the hatchet and once again collude.

These three items were not selective; it was highly possible they could occur simultaneously.

Therefore, all the Venerables were not optimistic.

Everyone, no need to worry; the Demons might not have the ability to provide support in a short time.

“Oh?”

Everyone looked at Lin Ye.

“The Holy Beasts are seeking revenge, and some Great Worlds, to prevent any accidents that could lead to the Mandate of Heaven's breakthrough, have also joined the ranks against the Demons.”

Lin Ye revealed the Holy Beasts' plan.

“Is that true?!”

“That’s great.”

This was a shot in the arm.

It must be said that with the great threat of the Demons gone, the situation instantly opened up.

“Of course, when I left the Battlefield of the Gods, the Holy Beasts had already set off, and many Venerables from the Great Worlds also returned to their own Great Worlds to prepare to send troops.”

The reason these Great Worlds mobilized their troops so easily was that the strength of the Heavenly Realm and Hell had reached a level that made them tremble with fear.

Previously, everyone compared the number of Venerables and the strength of legions; on paper, if two or three Great Worlds joined forces, they could at least hold their own, even if they couldn’t defeat one side.

But the battle in the Myriad Heavens before had made all the Great Worlds tremble.

The Holy Beast Clan was so strong, with nine True Word Skill-level Supremes and over two hundred Venerables.

They were crippled by the joint forces of the two realms.

When the Mandate of Heaven appeared, it almost destroyed the Battlefield of the Gods.

Therefore, the Heavenly Realm and Hell were too strong and had to be weakened.

If they weren’t weakened, how could their neighbors feel at ease?

.........

The long War began.

A battlefield never ends in a short time.

This not only tested the strength of the warring parties but also their overall comprehensive strength.

Military preparations, supplies, etc., were huge tests for both sides' economies and politics.

From the Universe, various resources were transported to the Heavenly Realm battlefield.

The combined forces of the Angel Clan and the Universe, having gained control of the Sixth and most of the Seventh Layer, had much less pressure on supplies.

The Angel Clan had the least pressure.

The territories they took over were basically stable.

They had been rooted in the Heavenly Realm for too long, and their reputation was too good.

Except for a few fanatical believers of the Divine race, other general believers, true believers, righteous believers, and sincere believers, who were below devout believers, would not make trouble for the “rebellious” Angels at all.

They even thought the Divine race had done something wrong.

After all, the Angel Clan was famous for their foolish loyalty; if even foolishly loyal people rebelled, what evil had you committed?

And the believers above them would be conflicted on a faith and moral level.

Only fanatical believers would support the Divine race.

But these were too few.

They couldn't cause any waves at all.

Relying on their good reputation, the Angels could obtain large amounts of supplies with almost no effort.

Meanwhile, the Universe side needed to transport supplies from the Universe.

Otherwise, they simply couldn't withstand the consumption.

Even though the Angel Clan sent many Angels to help manage, their effect was limited.

After all, the threat of the Universe still had a significant impact.

However, the Universe side had a vast enterprise and naturally was not afraid of consumption.

Transportation? While teleportation arrays were highly efficient, they consumed too much; how could they be as cost-effective as rune battleships?

So the Universe could also endure.

The Divine race of the Heavenly Realm, backed by the most prosperous Eighth and Ninth Layers, was also not afraid of consumption.

Therefore, the War lasted for a very long time.

Apart from his first success, Lin Ye, in the time that followed, only managed to destroy the opponent's small worlds and cause severe injuries in the sense of a Venerable; he didn't succeed in any other hunts.

Mainly, a team specifically targeting him had appeared.

“Silver, are you a pervert? Always entangleing me.”

Lin Ye looked at the God King opposite him with annoyance.

Silver God King.

One of the Four Supreme Gods.

He possessed an True Word Skill.

Compared to the two famous God Kings, Death God King and Divine race God King, he seemed obscure.

Even the Blazing Sun God King was more famous than him.

But those who knew him would not underestimate him.

Like Lin Ye.

After the Silver God King used the True Word Skill—Incantation: Pure Silver, all negative effects were ineffective against him, and his own physical abilities would skyrocket...

This ability somewhat countered Lin Ye.

He could ignore most of the effects of Dust-Free Free Will and, after strengthening his body, could barely withstand Lin Ye's beating.

Coupled with the assistance of the three God Kings behind him, Lin Ye was temporarily unable to break through them.

He posed no threat, but he was truly annoying.

Like a sticky plaster.

“Undying Venerable, how about we stop? There’s no point in continuing like this; I can’t hurt you, and you can’t break through me,” the Silver God King said seriously.

“Dream on.” Lin Ye hammered even harder.

But the Silver God King's divine body was like a mass of liquid, deflecting most of the force.

The minor injuries inflicted were recovered by a few auxiliary spells from the God Kings behind him.

When Lin Ye wanted to run, as soon as Incantation: Dust-Free Free Will was activated, the three God Kings behind him jointly cast a restriction skill.

Their restriction skill, with the Silver God King's blessing, could resist Lin Ye's Incantation.

“He truly is a thorn in my side,” Lin Ye thought.

He was determined to kill the Silver God King.

“With the Silver God King here, my Incantation will be greatly affected. Fortunately, after killing the Light God King, I gained skill points. Based on my deductions, they can refine an True Word Skill by about fifteen percent.” Lin Ye thought.

A Venerable, a Venerable of a Hegemon-level small world, could only refine fifteen percent.

It seemed very little, but one must understand that, so far, very few people had two True Word Skills.

“Adding points to Divine Battle Method is the way.”

Lin Ye made up his mind to put all his skill points into Divine Battle Method.

Divine Battle Method rapidly improved.

“According to the Angel Clan's inheritance, Divine Battle Method is divided into three layers. The first layer slays Venerables, making the Venerable invincible; the second layer slays True Word Skill Supremes; and the third layer is a realm of fantasy. Let alone the third layer, it's unknown if anyone has even reached the second layer.”

Although Lin Ye had previously comprehended Divine Battle Method, he hadn't even reached the introductory level, let alone the first layer.

After all the points were added, Divine Battle Method barely reached the first layer (20%).

“Not enough, far from enough. Although I can now affect Silver and suppress some of his strength, it’s not enough to break the deadlock, let alone kill Silver,” Lin Ye thought helplessly.

True Spirit, he needed a lot of True Spirit.

And to obtain True Spirit, he needed to kill Venerables, he needed to bypass the Silver God King in front of him.

This was a dead end, unbreakable.
