The energy source of the Light Barrier of the Light God's Heart was located atop the central tower of Dark Light City, thousands of meters tall, its peak towering above the sea of clouds. The Great Prophet said that it connected the distant Demon Realm and drew the Demon Realm's majestic energy, thus maintaining the blockade of the entire Paradise Island.
This invasion war seemed to be dominated by the Light and Dark Demons, but in fact, it had the support of the entire Demon Realm. It was precisely because the Demon Realm was hidden behind the Light and Dark Demon Races that the Great Prophet of Heaven God dared not take direct action. Otherwise, it would trigger a higher-level war, and Paradise Island would surely suffer heavy casualties and be unable to recover for hundreds of years. And with the Demon Realm's demon gods recovering, hundreds of years later, the entire Blue Star of France would likely be under their control.
This was a war that had to be approached with caution.
Ji Jiayu had just entered the seventh rank, and he hadn't had time to familiarize himself with the new abilities granted to him by the Holy Light Pearl, nor had he had time to adapt to the power of the seventh-level divine portal. Nie Lanxi was only a ninth-rank cultivator, and naturally couldn't climb the central tower to destroy the heart of the god of light. They decided to find another way.
"To the north." After walking along the street for a while, Ji Jiayu suddenly said. After saying that, he turned and walked towards the northern street, followed by Nie Lanxi.
After a while, Ji Jiayu took the lead in turning east, and soon after inserting himself diagonally into an alley, he walked into another demon-free street.
Ji Jiayu was very targeted throughout the entire journey. Along the way, he led Nie Lan Zhen through several streets, passed dozens of Dark Demon Clan members, and encountered a group of soldiers returning from Paradise Island, but the demons failed to find him and Nie Lanhui. It was no wonder that it was very common for the Light Demon Clan to come to the Dark World like this. None of the Dark Demon Clan members could have imagined that Ji Jiayu and the others had already passed through the Barrier of Light and arrived at the City of Light and Darkness.
However, as Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi quietly shuttled through the streets and alleys, both of them suddenly felt tense, as if they were being targeted by a terrifying force.
After the two of them looked at each other, their faces turned white simultaneously. Oh no! Found them!
However, the power to open the solar portal and transport them to the dark world was brought about by the divine portal vision generated by the Sun God Tree's cooperation. It was the power of divine law, a power that could cause a peak tenth-level demon god to suffer heavy damage just by light, and even an eleventh-level demon god couldn't discover them.
Unless, that was the power of a Great Heavenly God.
Ten seconds later, a small golden light fell on the light barrier in the sky above the Holy City of Heaven Island. Then, the golden light spread and spread in all directions, forming a golden curtain of light, rippling like water, just like when it had been in Qiming City.
The scene was dark at first, and soon, a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness, like a flickering candle rising. Under the candlelight, the people of Guangming in the Holy City and several surrounding cities saw two figures. They were in a dark alley.
Although the image was blurry and seemed to be covered in a layer of ash, everyone recognized the two figures, the ones in charge of the Sacred Gem and its guardian, whom they had initially expected and had almost forgotten over the past year.
Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi!
"What's going on?"
"Where are they?"
"Look, are the Dark Demons in that picture?"
"That's the Dark Demon Clan's army!"
"How could that building look like the demonic buildings you've seen in books..."
"Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi shouldn't be in the Demon Realm, right? Or, are they in the City of Light and Darkness? Why would they go there?" For a time, countless members of the Guangming clan were discussing it.
At the same time, the Defense Parliament held an emergency meeting, chaired by Speaker Lei Xiaoqing, and all the senior members of Parliament arrived at the scene. They stared at the scene, their hearts almost stopping.
"What's going on?"
Many members of parliament at the scene knew that the war was over just to cover up Ji Jiayu's promotion and allow him to leave.
Ji Jiayu used the Sacred Light Pearl to enter the City of Light and Darkness. This was a plan set by the Great Prophet, and they had carefully discussed the details.
This plan wasn't foolproof, but it was fundamentally sound. However, why were Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi discovered right after entering the City of Light and Darkness? And in this form, it was made public in front of everyone in the light.
Since the demon clan knew Ji Jiayu's location, let alone using a demon god, even if only the demon emperor were dispatched, they could finish off Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxun. Their move was undoubtedly a public execution, provoking the Guangming Clan, and influencing the Guangming Clan's confidence, killing their hopes. This trick was a murderous plot!
"Is there any way we can get it back?"
"The Sacred Pearl can't be lost!"
Many members of parliament at the scene panicked. This was supposed to be a perfect plan! "Where is the Great Prophet? Where did the Great Prophet go?" The members of parliament looked at Lei Xiaoqing.
In their depths of despair, the Great Prophet sat cross-legged in a pure white world. His indifferent eyes seemed to see through the entire world, clearly seeing everything he wanted to see.
He saw the images of Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi walking in the Dark City of Light, and also the golden curtain of light beneath the light barrier. He appeared calm and confident.
Not far behind him, two figures appeared, one tall and clad in a black robe; the other fiery red, with a momentum soaring into the sky.
No matter how calm the Great Prophet was, no matter how shocked the people of Light were, no matter how fiercely the council members debated the solution, time passed minute by second.
In the dark world, Nie Lanxi and Ji Jiayu, whose tracks had been discovered, no longer concealed their presence. The former suddenly extended a pair of fiery red wings on their backs, and the latter seemed to have a beam of light beneath their feet, causing their bodies to bounce and rush into the distance.
In just an instant, the two of them had flown over 100 meters.
Suddenly seeing the fiery light, the members of the Dark Demon Clan in the dark world looked at the two of them, all stunned. They never imagined that a human would dare to come to the dark world and be so arrogant.
They had just had this idea when suddenly, a white cloth-like talisman flew out, exploding into divine power that spread throughout the sky. Immediately afterward, a majestic spiritual power erupted from Ji Jiayu's body, condensing this divine power into holy magic. The next instant, clusters of flames burst out of the void, roaring and crashing into the Dark Demon Clan members in all directions.
Eternal Flame!
Under the influence of the holy portal constructed from the seven-colored holy cornerstone, the power of the eternal holy flame nearly doubled. Previously, its influence was only within a radius of 100 meters, but now it had reached a radius of 200 meters. The Eternal Holy Flame continued to absorb the divine power in the air, growing larger and larger, gradually spreading, and the flames dyed this dark world red.
The battle officially began.
