140: Chapter 140 The Rift Disrupts, the Void Clan Appears

The star skiff sped through the sea of stars, advancing toward the Eternal Forbidden Zone.

Bai Yunzhou sat cross-legged in silent meditation, quietly deducing the Law of Creation.

Suddenly, the communication talisman shook violently, interrupting his thoughts.

He unfolded the talisman paper, revealing an emergency message from Ling Shuang.

"Ancestor, there is an anomaly in the eastern rifts of the sea of stars, and a new situation has arisen."

"What is pouring out of the rifts is not the Ash-Eater Clan, but the Void Clan!"

Bai Yunzhou's pupils constricted; the Void Clan had long since been sealed.

During the decisive battle against the Void King back then, they had completely suppressed them.

How could they reappear now?

He quickly asked for details.

Ling Shuang replied, "The Void Clan is pouring out of the rifts in great numbers."

"They are devouring each other with the Ash-Eater Clan, and the battle is fierce."

"The Realm Guardian Army took advantage of the chaos to launch an attack and slaughtered quite a few."

Bai Yunzhou pondered for a moment, understanding the key to it all.

The rifts of the Ash-Eater Clan had opened up a different space.

In that different space, the remnants of the Void Clan might have been sealed.

Now that the rifts had opened, the Void Clan took the opportunity to break free.

When the two alien races met, they naturally attacked each other.

This was a prime opportunity for the snipe and the clam to fight while the fisherman reaped the benefit.

He immediately sent a message to Ling Shuang, "Take this chance to wipe them out; we must not miss this."

"At the same time, investigate the source of the Void Clan and see if there are any remnants of the Void King."

Acknowledging the order, Ling Shuang immediately dispatched more forces to the east.

Zhou Zhiting personally led the elites of the Realm Guardian Army rushing to the battlefield.

When she arrived, the Void Clan and the Ash-Eater Clan were still locked in fierce combat.

Grey mist and Void Realm energy intertwined and collided.

The monsters roared as they bit and tore at each other, resulting in countless casualties.

Zhou Zhiting ordered, "Form the formation, surround them but do not attack."

"Wait until they both suffer heavy losses, then annihilate them in one fell swoop."

The soldiers of the Realm Guardian Army acted according to orders, setting up an encirclement formation on the outer perimeter of the battlefield.

The star spirit light-gathering mirror was erected, ready to purify at any moment.

Trapping formations were layered upon layers to prevent any remaining enemies from escaping.

At the center of the battlefield, the slaughter between the Void Clan and the Ash-Eater Clan grew increasingly tragic.

The figures of the Void Clan were illusory, adept at stealth and surprise attacks.

The bodies of the Ash-Eater Clan were formidable, taking the Law of Devouring as their Foundation.

Both clans had their own strengths, fighting to a standstill.

A Void General roared, tearing three members of the Ash-Eater Clan to pieces.

But it was slapped to pieces with a single palm by a giant Ash-Eater beast.

Void Realm energy scattered in all directions, and the giant beast opened its mouth to devour it.

The leader of the Ash-Eater Clan was a thousand-foot-tall giant beast.

The leader of the Void Clan was a tall Void King.

That Void King looked similar in appearance to the Void King slain back then.

Zhou Zhiting's heart chilled; could this be a descendant of the Void King?

The two leaders exchanged a glance and simultaneously lunged at each other.

The Void King wielded a Void Blade, while the giant Ash-Eater beast swung its massive claws.

The Void Blade slashed against the giant claws, sending forth black sparks.

The grey mist of the giant claws corroded the Void Blade, making a sizzling sound.

Both sides remained locked in a stalemate as energy shockwaves scattered outwards.

The smaller monsters nearby were caught in the aftermath and turned into flying ash one after another.

The soldiers of the Realm Guardian Army watched with alarm, yet remained completely motionless.

Zhou Zhiting kept her gaze locked on the battlefield, waiting for the prime opportunity.

Half an hour later, both the Void King and the giant Ash-Eater beast were injured.

The Void King's left arm had been torn apart, and the giant Ash-Eater beast's abdomen had been pierced through.

They panted heavily, yet the fierce glint in their eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

The surrounding monsters had all died or been injured, leaving only the two of them.

Zhou Zhiting knew that the time had come.

"All troops, attack! Slay the Void King first, then execute the giant Ash-Eater beast!"

The soldiers of the Realm Guardian Army shouted in unison, and Sword Qi surged horizontally and vertically.

The purification light of the star spirit light-gathering mirror shone directly onto the battlefield.

Caught off guard, the Void King was struck by multiple streaks of Sword Qi.

It roared and turned around, wanting to escape back into the rift.

How could Zhou Zhiting allow it to escape? The battle blood spear thrust forward directly.

The spear radiance pierced through the Void King's back, pinning it to the ground.

Struggling, the Void King caused Void Realm energy to scatter wildly.

Zhou Zhiting circulated the Battle Blood Sacred Body, forcibly suppressing it.

Seeing this, the giant Ash-Eater beast turned around, wanting to escape back into the grey space.

But it was surrounded tightly by the soldiers of the Realm Guardian Army, leaving no way out.

The purification light continued to shine, and the giant beast's grey mist continuously dissipated.

Struggling frantically, it swatted away several soldiers.

Ling Shuang arrived, her Ice Soul Sword Intent condensing into a giant sword.

With a single slash of her sword, the giant beast's head fell to the ground with a thud.

With the leaders of both clans executed, the remaining monsters fled in all directions.

The Realm Guardian Army launched a comprehensive pursuit, leaving no future troubles.

Half an hour later, the battlefield was completely cleared.

At the rift, only faint traces of grey mist remained.

Zhou Zhiting ordered the cleanup of the battlefield and the treatment of the wounded.

At the same time, she sent people into the rift to investigate the source of the Void Clan.

The reconnaissance team cautiously entered the rift, penetrating deep into the grey space.

The grey space was dead silent, filled with the remains of monsters.

Advancing several dozen miles, they discovered a shattered Seal formation.

In the center of the Seal formation, countless skeletons of the Void Clan were scattered.

Among the skeletons lay a dim Void core.

The reconnaissance Disciple put away the core and continued the investigation.

Beside the Seal formation stood a broken stone tablet.

Inscribed on the stone tablet were ancient characters, which were still faintly discernible.

"The remnants of the Void Clan shall be suppressed here for eternity."

"The Ash-Eater Clan rifts opened, and the Seal was broken."

The reconnaissance Disciple recorded the inscription on the tablet and returned to report.

Zhou Zhiting took the Void core and examined it closely.

Inside the core remained faint Void Realm energy.

There was also a trace of the Void King's Bloodline aura.

She suddenly understood; this was the offspring of the Void King.

Back then, when the Void King was slain, his son was sealed here.

Now that the Ash-Eater Clan rifts had opened, the Seal had shattered.

The Void Prince took the opportunity to break free, only to be attacked by the Ash-Eater Clan.

That was why the war between the two clans had happened today.

Zhou Zhiting put away the core and sent a message to report to Bai Yunzhou.

"Ancestor, the source of the Void Clan has been investigated; it is the Void Prince."

"He has already been slain, cutting off future troubles once and for all."

Receiving the news, Bai Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

The threat of the Void Clan was completely resolved.

However, the threat of the Ash-Eater Clan remained severe.

He replied with instructions, "Strengthen the Seal on the rift to prevent further changes."

"At the same time, look for clues from the Void Prince on how to restrain the Ash-Eater Clan."

Acknowledging the order, Zhou Zhiting immediately had the reconnaissance Disciple inspect the Void core in detail.

Within the core, the grey mist of the giant Ash-Eater beast remained.

The mist and Void Realm energy eroded each other, leaving traces behind.

The reconnaissance Disciple discovered that Void Realm energy had a corrosive effect on the Ash-Eater mist.

Although weak, it truly existed.

Overjoyed, Zhou Zhiting hurriedly reported this discovery.

Receiving the message, Bai Yunzhou fell into deep thought.

Void Realm energy could corrode the Ash-Eater mist?

Did that mean they could combine the power of the Void Realm

to create a new method of restraint?

He immediately sent a message to Ling Shuang, "Collect the remains of the Void Clan and study their energy characteristics."

"See if you can extract a substance that restrains the Ash-Eater Clan."

Acknowledging the order, Ling Shuang immediately arranged manpower.

The Artifact Hall and the Pill Hall joined forces to begin researching Void Realm energy.

Meanwhile, the cleanup work of the eastern battlefield was completed.

The Realm Guardian Army suffered over two thousand casualties and slaughtered thirty thousand monsters.

The battle results were brilliant, but they paid a heavy price.

Zhou Zhiting stood before the rift, looking at the reinforced Seal.

Secretly vowing in her heart, she must never let more soldiers sacrifice themselves.

She had the soldiers rest in place and replenish their supplies.

Ling Shuang transferred a large amount of supplies from Black Stone City.

Healing pills, spirit-gathering pearls, and recovery holy water—

everything was available, and the supply was ample.

The soldiers were moved to tears, and their morale soared high.

Three days later, new news came from the Investigation Department.

The traces of the Void Clan had also appeared in the rifts of the northern sea of stars.

They were fiercely battling the Ash-Eater Clan, and the situation was similar to the east.

Ling Shuang immediately dispatched forces, following the same pattern.

The Realm Guardian Army rushed to the north, reaping the fisherman's benefit.

Sure enough, the Void Clan and the Ash-Eater Clan fought until both sides suffered heavy losses.

The Realm Guardian Army easily harvested them and achieved countless more victories.

Over the following days, similar news came successively from various regions of the sea of stars.

The rifts of the Ash-Eater Clan had opened up multiple Seal locations of the Void Clan.

The remnants of the Void Clan broke free one after another and slaughtered each other with the Ash-Eater Clan.

The Realm Guardian Army took the opportunity to wipe them out, gaining accumulated battle achievements.

Looking at the triumph reports on the communication talisman, Bai Yunzhou felt slightly at ease.

The accidental appearance of the Void Clan had instead helped the alliance immensely.

If they had not kept the Ash-Eater Clan in check,

it would have been impossible for the Realm Guardian Army to mop them up so easily.

But this also showed that the rifts of the Ash-Eater Clan were spread throughout the sea of stars.

Even the Seal locations of the Void Clan had been breached.

One could see how deep the infiltration of the Grey Devourer Sovereign was.

He gazed at the increasingly close Eternal Forbidden Zone ahead.

Silently praying in his heart, he must find the Law of Creation.

Only by completely restraining the Law of Devouring could all of this be ended.

The star skiff slowly sailed into the edge of the Eternal Forbidden Zone.

Ahead lay a dead-silent Star Domain.

There was no stardust, no light, nothing at all.

Only endless darkness and an eerie tranquility remained.

Bai Yunzhou ordered, "Full speed ahead, enter the forbidden zone."

The star skiff burst with brilliant light, charging into the darkness.
