In the Sacred Grounds, the crowd, gradually losing control, began using sacred arts to confront the city guards. Many members of the Light Clan took this opportunity to rush towards the Sacred Hall. However, the entrance to the Sacred Hall and its surroundings were guarded by Ming Sheng-level powerhouses at all times, and there were no problems at first. However, with too many people attacking the Sacred Hall, and over time, the Ming Shengs would also tire, causing the defenses to loosen.

Finally, someone rushed into the Sacred Hall.

Just a few seconds later, a low explosion rang out, and many members of the Light Clan lost their lives within the most magnificent building of this sacred kingdom.

Among these Guangming people was a middle-aged woman with thick eyebrows and a tall figure. She watched the Guangming people around her die inexplicably, filled with anger and helplessness.

Her name was Zhou Xue, and she was a Ming Shen-level powerhouse arranged by the Light Supremacy Sect to come to the Forbidden Land to disrupt the ceremony. According to her original plan, after the crowd swarmed in, she would be quickly chased away by the people of the Sacred Sect, and she could take the opportunity to sneak into the forbidden grounds. The entire process wouldn't cause too many casualties, but what was happening now was not like that at all.

Although she was a member of the Radiance Supremacy Sect, she was also a member of the Light Clan, and she wasn't a demon. Watching her own people die one by one, how could she not feel the slightest bit?

Was it to find an excuse to save them, or to stop the Sacred Pearl ceremony? She hesitated. But she didn't hesitate for too long, so she decided to go into the forbidden grounds first.

What was currently happening in the Sacred Hall would definitely be dealt with, and only she could stop the takeover ceremony in the Forbidden Grounds. Compared to the life and death of a group of light racers, the human race's taking over of the Holy Radiance Orb and entering the Sacred Sect, further "polluting" the entire light race, would obviously have a greater impact.

So, Zhou Xue suppressed the anger and grief in her heart and embarked on the path to enter the forbidden grounds.

Entering from the backstage of the Goddess of Light statue in the Sacred Hall, beneath the thousand-meter-long spiral staircase, was a forbidden area.

At this moment, a god-level battle was breaking out in the Forbidden Land. The Western Ming God was originally crushing the other four Ming Gods, but Wang Yinlan's breakthrough brought uncertainty to the battle. However, even though the Western Ming God used some kind of secret method, he was still able to suppress the four Myojin and one quasi-Ming God who had broken through.

However, Zhou Xue's arrival brought a change.

When Zhou Xue turned the last few steps, she saw the Western Ming God's domain, and then sensed the domains of several Ming Gods suppressed within, and she couldn't help but be greatly shocked. Although she had guessed that there might be an abnormality in the Forbidden Land, and she had also guessed the specific situation, she never expected it to be this way.

The Western Ming God had actually rebelled, but he wasn't a member of the Light Supremacy Sect at all. If so, he would definitely know. Since he wasn't, which camp did he belong to? What was this for?

In an instant, Zhou Xue thought about many things.

On the field, Nishimyo Shen suddenly sensed another Ming Shen nearby, and several other Ming Shen were also guessing who this was. Most of them guessed that reinforcements from the Sacred Sect were coming. After all, time was running out, and reinforcements were bound to arrive.

However, Zhou Xue's silence, hesitation, and silence left the Ming Shens somewhat confused. If she were the Myojin of the Sacred Sect, this would be the time to break the deadlock and surround the Western Myojin, but she wasn't serious at all. If she were the Myojin of the Light Supremacy Sect, this would be the time to help Nishimyo Shen attack them, but she hadn't taken action.

Which side did she belong to?

Regardless of which side Zhou Xue belonged to, her arrival undoubtedly complicated the already complex situation.

After a moment of silence from both sides, Dong Mingshen took the lead in speaking.

"I am the Eastern Myojin who protects the Sacred Pearl, and now I order you to help us stop the rebellious Western Myojin." The Eastern Myojin's words were extremely harsh.

He also possessed rigorous qualifications, and being chosen to protect the Sacred Light Pearl already demonstrated his strength and high status in the clan. The cultivators of the Radiance Clan were all affiliated with the Sacred Sect, and the strange Mingshen, whether subordinates or colleagues, had an obligation to assist him.

Zhou Xue fell silent upon hearing this, hesitating. Specifically, she had been observing Xi Mingshen.

As an outsider, she had the time and energy to carefully observe Nishimyoshen, and then, she noticed a problem.

The Western Myojin's situation wasn't right!

Zhou Xue was chosen to carry out this plan, and she had considered the possible opponents and various circumstances, and she also knew Xi Mingshen.

Xi Ming Shen was a very aggressive person, with a ruthless personality, and didn't think much about the consequences. But this was all an appearance. He always had a left-handed approach, and only when he was confident would he act truly recklessly.

But at this moment, Xi Ming Shen directly opened the field, using the Wheel of Judgment ability, recklessly consuming his own divine power and consciousness, leaving no back hand at all, and acting so desperately was simply unlike him.

Even if he were risking his life for the ideals in his heart, he wouldn't use this fighting method; it didn't align with his style.

Furthermore, there was an aura emanating from Xi Ming Shen's body, an aura that made Zhou Xue extremely uncomfortable, one she had only felt in the Sacred Hall.

"Demon..." Zhou Xue had a terrifying thought in her mind.

If, in this dispute between the Sacred Sect and the Supreme Radiance Sect, who was most likely to interfere and gain the most benefits from interfering, it would undoubtedly be the demon race.

After all, this was the Sacred Radiance Pearl, one of the Seven Divine Beads!

For a long time, the Light Supremacy Sect had been fighting against humanity and eliminating the hidden dangers posed by the Chosen Ones, while also carefully keeping it a secret, preventing any inside information of the Chosen Ones' plans from leaking out. This was even more true for the Sacred Cult at this time.

If the "invasion" of humanity was an internal matter, then the demon race's invasion of the light race was a deeply disturbing external matter. At this point, even the Myojin of the Light Supremacy Sect had nothing to say, and he had to assist the Ming God.

After learning this, Zhou Xue no longer hesitated, rushing into the Western Ming God's field, and then unfolded her own field without hesitation. In an instant, her field centered on her and spread out over a hundred meters.

The four Myojin fields and the fifth field formed made Nishimyo Shen no longer able to maintain the oppressive momentum, and the field he had condensed with his own pure energy gradually appeared fine cracks.

The field could no longer be maintained, let alone free his hands to kill the group of choosers.

From the beginning of the battle until now, Ye Zihang, Ding Lu, Su Mengmeng, and the other selectors had turned pale. In this kind of battlefield, they weren't even qualified to mobilize their divine power; they could only guard, watching nervously, waiting for the battle to end.

Not only them, but the Ming Saints were also powerless.

Now that the West Ming Divine Field finally had a flaw, they could also make a move.

At this moment, they saw Mo Yao, who had been touching the Sacred Pearl with both hands, suddenly shaken by the Sacred Pearl, and the light emanating from the Sacred Pearl also disappeared in an instant.

"Next, Liu Dong, you go," Wang Yinlan's voice rang out at the right moment.

At the same time, invisible ripples began to spread around him, and the trial field, which had already shown signs of crumbling, suddenly became riddled with cracks.

Ximing Shen's face was pale, a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth, his eyes began to turn red, and a black mist rose above his head. With the appearance and spread of the black mist, all the Ming Saints and Ming Gods on the scene began to change color, and they clearly felt a demonic aura from the black mist.

What was happening? Everyone was stunned, their hearts heavy. In the most heavily guarded place in the Sacred Clear Sea, when had the most powerful guardian of the Holy Radiance Orb been affected by a demon?

"Ah."

"Really—"

"I thought I wouldn't need to take action, but I didn't expect you to be so difficult and so useless."

While Ming Sheng and Ming Shen were amazed, a sneer rang out.

They saw the black mist in the sky suddenly float, condensing into a huge face. The face was extremely blurry, but the eyes, nose, and mouth, as well as fine scales, could be vaguely seen.

As soon as the black mist appeared, a terrifying aura suddenly spread in all directions, and a group of voters who could still move their bodies were instantly crushed to the ground, barely able to move, still under the protection of the field.

"Demon God!"

"An eleventh-level Demon God!"

Wang Yinlan and the others' expressions changed drastically.

It was terrifying enough to have a demon in the forbidden area, and it was actually an eleventh-level Demon God!

"Since it's like this, let's throw this city into chaos." After the huge, human-faced demon finished speaking softly, an invisible energy emerged, penetrating the kilometer-long layer of earth and reaching the top.

In the Sacred Field, the Guangming tribe members who had already sensed something was amiss were all stunned.

Seeing them stunned, the city guards and Ming Sheng were a little surprised, and instinctively felt something was wrong. In the next moment, the stunned Guangming clansmen moved again, but this time, it seemed as if they had gone mad. They attacked everything around them like crazy, using divine power, with their hands, with their feet, with their mouths...

Seeing this scene, Chen Miaoyi, in the distance, frowned and turned to look at the woman in the golden veil. However, the latter looked indifferent. "It's not time yet."

Chen Miaoyi was angry, but she couldn't refute her, because she knew the woman in the golden veil was about to tell her some profound truths, such as war always leads to death. They were in a war now, and they had no choice but to die fewer deaths in the future...

"Huh."

Chen Miaoyi forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi, at this time Ji Jiayu and the two had an abnormal reaction to the scene in front of them.
