245: Chapter 245 Crisis on the Edge of the Battlefield

"Huh? Is this demon girl the same as Yaoyao? If so, things just got a lot easier." Xiao Luolu was quite shocked as well.

Mu Cheng: "Can you be a bit more confident? Look at this building. Could it still be those old fossils? Although they're just demonic cultivators, to be more precise, they've just gone berserk."

"Girl, come out now!" Baili Kuangdao shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Coming, coming. Do you have to do this every time?"

The voice arrived before its owner. A moment later, a girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old appeared.

She was about 1.2 meters tall, with twin ponytails and wearing a red dress.

By all appearances, she was just a little loli, nothing like a demon girl.

"Little sister... are you the demon girl?" Xiao Luolu asked, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Little Demon Girl: "Of course. Big sister... you don't seem to be from this world, do you?"

"Quite clever. We're not from this world. We're looking for you to ask about the situation with the Yi Zheng Alliance." Mu Cheng got straight to the point.

But who knew Baili Kuangdao would suddenly start cursing. "Pah... what bullshit Yi Zheng Alliance, they're worse than beasts."

"It seems you, brother and sister, have already been to the Yi Zheng Alliance. Just as you saw, they are indeed constantly thinking of eliminating us." The little demon girl also got straight to the point.

Lan Ninger: "They have no intention of withdrawing their troops. Little sister, how about going to the outside world? You seem pretty good. How about following me from now on, living a life of luxury?"

"I can follow you, but I want the Worlds Number One Tower here." The little demon girl straightforwardly stated her condition.

"It seems Sister Ninger intends to recruit her." Xiao Luolu and Mu Cheng thought in unison, so they didn't say anything.

Lan Ninger: "You can have the Worlds Number One Tower, but think carefully. If you're going to work under me, you must obey the token."

"Of course, my token is only for the common people."

"Alright! If you can really give me the Worlds Number One Tower, listening to you isn't a problem." The little demon girl agreed readily.

Lan Ninger: "Good. I'll register your information now. Let's call you Little Demon Girl! From now on, you're a member of the Super Ability Academy."

"You can call me Sister Ninger from now on, and these two are Sister Luolu and your Brother Cheng."

"She agreed just like that? Fine! Three Worlds Number One Towers... they'll all be yours from now on." Mu Cheng operated his high-tech bracelet.

He quickly set up the permissions...

"This... why do I feel like I've been tricked? Were these Worlds Number One Towers originally yours?" The little demon girl realized instantly.

Xiao Luolu: "What else? Remember... you're one of us now."

"Right, right. The permissions for the Worlds Number One Towers have been given to you. You know what to do next without me telling you, right?" Mu Cheng decided.

Of course, this was after careful consideration. Since the Yi Zheng Alliance wasn't thinking of giving up, they could only take back the three Worlds Number One Towers first.

"I know. But even without the support of the Worlds Number One Towers... they'll probably launch a final counterattack." The little demon girl had no objections.

She had clearly accepted it...

"You guys chat. I'll go check on the brothers." Baili Kuangdao, indicating he didn't understand, left directly.

Xiao Luolu: "Don't worry! Aren't we still here? A mere Yi Zheng Alliance compared to the Demon God Clan is like heaven and earth."

Lan Ninger: "Mhm, mhm. Leave it to them with confidence. Crushing them is no different from stepping on an ant."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Brother Cheng and Sister Luolu." The little demon girl had nothing more to say.

Three days later.

"They're here. There are over a dozen Emperor Realm Peak experts. It shouldn't be difficult for you." Lan Ninger suddenly said.

Soon, Baili Kuangdao also came to report. "Demon Girl, the Yi Zheng Alliance people are here."

"I know. Don't worry, just leave it to my Sister Luolu. With her here, you just need to hold your positions." The little demon girl said without a hint of panic.

Clearly, in these three days, she must have gotten a general understanding... of the Super Ability Academy's situation.

"Huh? Are you sure we just hold our positions?" Baili Kuangdao looked completely bewildered.

Mu Cheng: "Don't worry, just leave it to us. As for the rest, do as you please!"

"Alright! Then I'll leave it to Sister Luolu." The little demon girl stopped dwelling on it.

About ten minutes later.

Lan Ninger: "The distance is about right. Luolu, go deal with it quickly... it's also time to return to the Blue-White Star."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Luolu was teleported away...

Without hesitation, she directly summoned the kaioken and charged straight at the Yi Zheng Alliance people without another word.

In less than ten short minutes.

"Goodness, is she that fierce?" Baili Kuangdao watched, dumbfounded.

This was so-called one-sided slaughter... they weren't even on the same level.

As time passed, the battle soon ended.

"That was really boring. I thought they'd be more powerful." Xiao Luolu felt quite disappointed upon returning.

Mu Cheng: "It was okay. It seems we'll probably have to stay here for a while."

"Quite prescient. So you all need to mine spirit stones diligently... the more, the better." Lan Ninger said.

Everything proceeded very smoothly until three months later...

Lan Ninger suddenly said, "This is... Yunzi is about to break through, to take that step. All of you, return!"

In an instant, including the little demon girl and Baili Kuangdao, everyone was neatly transported back to the Dongfang City defensive line.

"Wow! This place is so beautiful." The little demon girl was extremely surprised, but after a moment of pondering, she also noticed something was off.

"My power is being suppressed."

"Mhm, mhm, mine too." Baili Kuangdao also indicated the same.

"Brother Cheng... what are you all planning to do?" Lu Yuxuan slowly walked over.

Lan Ninger's voice came through: "You all need to watch carefully. A new era is about to dawn."

Not long after she finished speaking, suddenly, with black fog pressing down on the city and thunder and lightning raging, the entire world seemed on the verge of cracking.

"What's happening?" The little demon girl panicked instantly.

Xiao Yao also appeared at this moment, followed immediately by Origin...

"This day has finally come."

"It's Sister Yunzi." Shangguan Mengmeng recognized her at a glance.

"Huh? This is beyond Emperor Realm Peak. It seems the legendary Heavenly Punishment has descended." The little demon girl was greatly shocked.

The next moment, the sky completely split open, and a golden phantom identical to Lu Yunzi appeared...

Lu Yunzi, holding the overlord heavy sword, went up and grappled with it... with every collision, the entire earth trembled.

"So strong. Is this what lies beyond Emperor Realm Peak?" Lan Ninger watched intently.

Lu Yuxuan became worried. "Mother... will she be alright?"

"Auntie will definitely succeed. We must believe in her." Gu Na said this, but deep down, she had no confidence at all.

Origin: "The power of the Heavenly Dao represents the strongest combat power of the entire Blue-White Star."

"Mhm, mhm, Senior Origin is right. Even I... can only trap the Heavenly Dao." Xia Lingling suddenly appeared and said.

Mu Cheng: "There must be a way, right?"

"Of course there is. Sister Yunzi's current strength is precisely at the Ninth Shackle, Ninth Layer of Emperor Realm Peak. To defeat the Heavenly Dao, she must break through the Tenth Shackle, reaching the true strength of the God of Destruction." Xia Lingling was still very clear about this.

Hearing this, Xiao Luolu asked, utterly confused, "This... true God of Destruction expert, what exactly is that?"

"A true God of Destruction has no limitations from Shackles. Their strength is, of course, worlds apart." Xia Lingling explained.

Origin: "So it's true. This avatar of yours... seems to have less than one percent of your main body's strength."

"Mhm, mhm. For someone of my level... with great power comes great responsibility. So we can't rely solely on the four of us." Xia Lingling said earnestly.

Lan Ninger was confused upon hearing this. "Huh? What about the Lin Family? They... can't help at all?"

"Of course. Sister Ninger, what are you thinking? The world beyond the universe... isn't as simple as you imagine." Xia Lingling explained very patiently.

"My Dean, Death God Karl, and the Omni-God are the strongest existences in the universe. We are responsible for guarding the edges of the universe."

"Let me ask timidly, since you're all so powerful... why did you return to the Blue-White Star? Could it be a prison? And what hidden, unspeakable secrets does Global Survival hold?" Mu Cheng finally had a chance to ask clearly.

Xia Lingling explained: "I suspect that behind Global Survival, the Creator God is selecting an heir. As for the specifics... I'm not entirely clear either, so we can only wait. The truth will come out one day."

"We returned to the Blue-White Star; prison is one reason. The main reason is that we need manpower over there, like Sister Yunzi."

"Huh? What about me? Why... has everything been arranged so clearly?" Mu Cheng decided to ask everything clearly.

Xia Lingling: "The Devouring Bloodline is both hope and destruction. It has always been this way since ancient times."

"But isn't this just a legend of the Creator God? When he descends again, it will be the arrival of hope and the beginning of destruction!"

"This... I don't really understand what I'm hearing." The amount of information for Mu Cheng today was simply too much.

So for a moment, he didn't react...

"Anyway, you just need to know... improving your strength is enough." Lan Ninger also couldn't be bothered to explain.

One generation of Devouring Bloodline possessor, one generation of god. But someone like Mu Cheng, who can both cultivate and break through Shackles simultaneously...

Is the first in history...

"Alright then!" Mu Cheng also didn't want to think too much about it, regardless of whether he was the so-called heir or not.

Strength truly is the most crucial thing...

This battle lasted for three days and three nights, yet neither side gained the upper hand, remaining deadlocked.

"It seems it'll go on for a while longer. Go do what you need to do!" Lan Ninger said and then disappeared.

Soon, the others... also gradually left, though even so, they were all concerned.

"This strength is truly abnormal... it might indeed continue for quite some time." The little demon girl also thought so.

Baili Kuangdao: "We should go back. Being out for too long... isn't good."

"Mhm, mhm, you two go back." Mu Cheng operated his high-tech bracelet, and the two were teleported back.

At this moment, on the Dongfang City defensive wall, only Lu Yuxuan, Tao Mumu, Tao Shuishui, Gu Na, Xia Lingling... along with Xiao Yao and Mu Cheng remained.

Lu Yuxuan was still very worried... but there was nothing she could do to help now, so she could only calm down and watch.

"So boring. But... it seems breaking through the Tenth Shackle isn't difficult." Xia Lingling said with a deep yawn.

Hearing this, Xiao Yao was a bit confused and asked: "I remember... Sister Yunzi cultivates Bloodline Power. Since when can Shackles also be broken through?"

"Of course during battle. You might not have noticed, but from the beginning until now, actually... the Heavenly Dao's strength has increased, and of course, Sister Yunzi's strength has as well." Xia Lingling explained.

"So only by breaking through the Tenth Shackle can Sister Yunzi... defeat it."

"And if she defeats it? I'm curious, what happens then?" Gu Na suddenly asked.

Tao Shuishui: "Mhm, mhm, I want to know too."

"The Battlefield and the Blue-White Star merge, followed by spiritual energy revival... By then, as long as you break through the Emperor Realm, that is, become a Realm King God, you will be able to sense the Shackles." Xia Lingling thought for a moment and explained further.

"As for you all who have already broken through Shackles but haven't taken that step, it's mainly because your Bloodline Power hasn't caught up."

"So that's how it is. Then... is my situation the same?" Mu Cheng asked.

Xia Lingling: "More or less. But the Devouring Bloodline is the most special... it's just that the method of improvement is different."

Hearing this, Mu Cheng suddenly felt a bit unbalanced.

"This... then doesn't that mean it's very difficult for me to improve?"

"Right, right. But once you take that step, you can directly leap to a level of strength not below mine." Xia Lingling was still very clear about this.

Mu Cheng has a Black Hole Seed within him. As long as he keeps devouring, it will form... and then devour the energy of the universe.

His strength surpassing hers is only a matter of time.

Ninth Layer of the Battlefield.

"Big brother, what exactly is going on? If this continues, we won't be able to hold on." The speaker was precisely Lin Yiyi.

At the same time, the seven sisters... and a black-robed figure named Zero were jointly operating a massive Talisman Array.

Zero: "It's from the Blue-White Star side... It seems Sister Yunzi has taken that step and is battling the Heavenly Dao."

"No way! It's been three days. Can that explain it?" The white-haired girl Lin Qingzhu was clearly anxious.

The black-clothed girl Lin Ke'er spoke up: "Isn't it simple? Sister Yunzi... she must be trying to break through the Shackles first."

"Mhm, mhm. Sister Yunzi must break through ten Shackles to defeat the Heavenly Dao. So we must hold on. We must not let the devouring aura invade the Battlefield." Zero nodded in explanation.

Another three days passed, and the Talisman Array had gradually begun to show cracks...

"Big sister... when will she return? If this continues, not only will we be finished here, but the Battlefield will also be destroyed." Lin Ke'er was clearly frantic.

Lin Qingzhu: "You talk too much. I always told you to cultivate properly, but you just played and messed around."

"Enough. We can only increase our divine power output." Zero loudly stopped them and then increased her divine power release.

The others did the same... they all increased their output. The Talisman Array, which had begun to crack, finally gradually recovered.

Dongfang City Defensive Line, Blue-White Star.

"Huh? It seems I must go there personally." Xia Lingling suddenly said.

Mu Cheng asked curiously: "What happened?"

"It's the Ninth Layer of the Battlefield... there's a small issue." Xia Lingling said, and in the blink of an eye, she was gone.

"It seems... our strength is completely insufficient. I just hope everything turns out alright!" Tao Mumu felt quite uncomfortable at this moment.
