A sea of ​​sacred light, a sacred city.

More than three years were enough for the craftsmen and workers in the city to re-plan and repair the entire city. On the surface, the city seemed to have regained its former prosperity, but in reality, sorrow, pain, and despair were buried deep in the hearts of every Guangming tribe.

People walked numbly through the streets, like walking corpses, seemingly lifeless. Three years was enough for too much to happen and enough to change too many people.

First of all, the biggest change was naturally the Light Barrier, which spread across almost the entire Paradise Island. Thanks to the Doomsday Talisman, which absorbed hundreds of thousands of years of divine power, the main cities and special areas of the Holy Kingdom had not been eroded by the sacred vacuum created by the light barrier. However, in some remote areas, some small towns had completely become sacred vacuums, exhausted and decayed, where countless people of light, struggling to resist and unwilling to leave their hometowns, perished.

Even more frightening was that some areas that had neglected their defenses or were unable to hold on, under the control of the Light and Dark Demons, in addition to the sacred vacuum, also faced the dilemma of Eternal Night.

The Eternal Night Zone discouraged all the Light Clan, but it became the perfect habitat for the Dark Demons, who used the Eternal Night Zone as an outpost to break through the Light Clan's defenses bit by bit.

The Light Dark Demon Clan even built a massive city suspended above the Holy City above the Light Barrier—Light Dark City. Countless powerhouses of the Light and Dark Demon Clans gathered within it, confronting the numerous Ming Zuns, Ming Shengs, and Ming Shens in the Holy City from afar, and war could break out at any moment.

The key was that the Light Clan had no way to take Light Dark City or the Light Dark Demon Clan. They couldn't fight back, nor could they judge the timing of their opponent's attack. Living in such an era, how could they have any energy?

Initially, many of the Light Clan placed their hopes on the Ming God, but the Ming God had no choice. Many of the Light Clan placed their hopes on the Great Prophet, but the Great Prophet couldn't guarantee victory while keeping most of the Light Clan alive; after all, this was the home of the Holy Kingdom.

There were also many from the Guangming Clan who placed their hopes on the renowned Ji Jiayu. But the person in charge of this Sacred Light Pearl has been in charge of the darkest hour to date, and more than three years have passed, and there has been no news, as if he has silently disappeared.

There has been no explanation from the upper management of the Sacred Sect for his whereabouts, which inevitably makes the Light Clan at the bottom begin to wonder: Could the person in charge of this Sacred Light Pearl, this foreign human, have fled because he is afraid of the demons?

Initially, it was just a rumor, but as time passed, a year passed, two years passed, many people spread such news, and the rumor became a reality, resulting in the hatred of the humans and hybrids in Qiming City by the people of Guangming.

Previously, the Light Supremacy Sect paid a heavy price to instigate a conflict between the two races, but the effect was far less than Ji Jiayu's sudden disappearance.

News of Ji Jiayu's escape spread among the people, and the upper management of the Sacred Sect was unable to come forward to explain. Ji Jiayu carried a heavy responsibility, and he was also a thorn in the side of the Light and Dark Demon Clans, and they couldn't take the slightest risk of revealing Ji Jiayu's news.

At the same time, the defense council was truly concerned about Ji Jiayu.

They knew of Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi's whereabouts, and they also knew that they had completed the Sacred Pillar Challenge of the Nine Sacred Palaces more than a year ago. But a full year and a half had passed, and the two of them still hadn't returned to the Holy City. They had even sent people to search for them, but they hadn't heard from them, which made them even more concerned.

It's worth noting that the Light Clan is now at a critical juncture of life and death, and the Light and Dark Demon Clans have suspended their base camp above the Holy City, which is equivalent to slapping the Light Clan dozens of times, but the Guangming Clan has yet to resist.

To defeat and repel them, the Sacred Clear Sea Defense Council has requested assistance from the Sea Clan of the Endless Blue Sea. However, the Endless Blue Sea is also facing its own crisis at this time: a rebellion within the Sea Dragon Clan, and the shadow of the Demon Clan within it.

The Green Sea of ​​Life is facing a crisis of life energy imbalance, and as for the human race a little further away, with the current strength of the three domains of humanity, they cannot help at all.

No matter how far away, the filthy Yellow Sea and the Qinghai Underworld are secretly colluding with the Demon Realm. The Red Sea of ​​magma, which could very well help, is too far away, and the demon realm is beyond the reach of the whip.

In this battle, the Guangming Clan can only rely on themselves.

Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi, how long will it take for you to show up? Where are you? Many members of the defense council sighed deeply.

To the north of the Holy City was a wealthy area ruled by the cities surrounding the Holy City. Further north, grasslands, deserts, and mountains emerged one after another, connecting to the Arctic Ice Fields, a thousand kilometers away. Within these thousand kilometers, very few Light Clans lived, and even if they did, they had been slaughtered by the Light and Dark Demons over the past three years.

It took Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi three days to successfully leave the Arctic Ice Fields. After leaving the Extreme Northern Ice Fields, they immediately chanted their holy spells and soared into the air, flying at high speed toward the Holy City.

But the two of them hadn't flown long before they discovered darkness in the distance, pure darkness, and the entire world seemed stained with ink.

The sky was dark, the earth was dark, and even the air was black.

From that pure darkness, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi sensed a powerful demonic aura.

After the two of them looked at each other, they simultaneously released their spiritual power. Their spiritual power slowly surged out from their bodies, penetrated the dark world, and immediately entered it.

In the spiritual perception of Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi, that world of pure darkness had a different appearance.

They saw dozens of dark demons resting in the demon dens they had built, seemingly safe, as if this were their home.

From the novelty of the Demon Den, it could be judged that this group of dark demons had been living in this area for a long time, at least a year.

Such a conspicuous place, such glaring darkness, for at least a year, yet no Guangming Clan members had come to encircle and suppress them. Clearly, the Guangming Clan's situation was worse than Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi had imagined.

Their spiritual power surrounded these dark demons, and they roughly assessed their strength. So they withdrew their mental powers and looked at each other.

"What should I do?"

"Finish them."

"You won't scare the snake, will you?" "Don't leave any traces behind."

"Also, there are so many powerful individuals in the Guangming Clan, and it's normal for some to train in seclusion outside. Then deal with them!"

After those words fell, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi silently stalked towards the dark area. They didn't emit a trace of breath, nor did they make a sound, and they were as agile as top predators in the forest.
