Chapter 2683 The Sun (First Update, Happy New Year)
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but secretly click his tongue in amazement.
"Galactites don't just live in the void, but this herdsman... I thought it was a void creature."
“That’s true,” the young woman said, her interest piqued as soon as she started chatting with Qu Jianlei. “What do you want to ask?”
“A creature of the rules,” Qu Jianlei sighed softly, “I thought it held the power over the void.”
At this moment, he was thinking about Meng Po soup, the ferryman of the underworld, and many other strange beings.
Who would have thought that Taiyuan Hai would dare to directly rebuke the other party?
"So what if you have some power?" the woman replied dismissively. "If they don't obey, just beat them until they do."
"It's like living at home; a beating is a sign of affection, and that's how authority is established... Of course, domestic violence is unacceptable."
Qu Jianlei automatically ignored the last sentence, but he really didn't expect the young lady to be so fierce.
Ultimately, it's because I'm too weak.
Another six months passed, and when Xiaoyou cut a hole, a strange thing happened.
Suddenly, hundreds of dense clusters of demonic energy emerged from the three holes.
There are at least a dozen or so demonic energy clusters that can contain a Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon, and there may be more than ten more demonic energy clusters that may also contain Great Venerables.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Yugiri, who is relatively good at dealing with the Heavenly Demon, and the Dog-Riding True Venerable were not present.
They were tasked with suppressing various anomalies, especially the recent backlash of demonic energy in the Qiuzhen Realm.
And that's where the cunning of the Heavenly Demons lies; it's almost certain they seized the opportunity.
Previously, the Heavenly Demons were in chaos and fighting each other, but that doesn't mean that no Heavenly Demons were secretly searching for the truth.
When they cut the world apart, the reaction in this riddled world was not significant—it was already so badly damaged.
However, when cutting through those breaches and separating the various passages, turmoil in the realm is inevitable.
In this situation, any demon with a modicum of sense would be able to detect that something was amiss.
However, it was one thing for them to discover that something was wrong, but it was quite another for them to be able to contact the demons of other realms.
Moreover, this sudden move was coordinated by multiple parties and was timed at a crucial moment.
It must be admitted that the Heavenly Demon race is truly chaotic when it gets disorderly, but it is also truly cunning.
Even more noteworthy is that these demons locked onto the location of Qu Jianlei and his companions, and actually surrounded them.
The Sky-Piercing True Venerable, who was wandering around the realm, was ignored.
"Wow, this area is huge," Han Li couldn't help but mutter, "and they said we could rest for a while."
Before Xiaoyou took over, he was the one cutting down the world, and he had only rested for less than three days in total.
When the numerous demonic energy clusters entered, although it looked a bit chaotic, they quickly adjusted themselves.
This group had a great talent for fighting, or rather, a great awareness of taking advantage of weaknesses, and soon formed a respectable formation.
At this point, there was probably no one coordinating things; the battle was fought entirely on instinct.
The area where the Heavenly Demon Qi cluster gathered was even larger than when Han Li dealt with the Red Giant Star last time.
Fortunately, although this world is dilapidated, it is still a realm, and the conditions are much better than those in the void.
However, Han Li still sighed, "It's so big, it's really difficult to deal with."
"Protect Xiaoyou first," Qu Jianlei decisively made the battle plan, "Show the enemy weakness!"
"Hmm," Han Li's combat talent was also not bad. He instantly released an extremely cold field, which enveloped the three of his own.
Of course, the extreme cold field is only for protection, not for freezing teammates.
As for Qingkong... if he wants to escape, no one can stop him.
However, the Great Protector risked sending a divine message, "Do you need me to provide support for the attack?"
“Go check on Xiwu and Qigou,” Qu Jianlei replied, “see if they can get away. It doesn’t matter if they can’t.”
Qingkong's clone went to contact the two. Seeing that the other party had adopted a "defensive" posture, Tianmo began to attempt an attack.
At first, they tried to probe with small clumps of demonic energy, and without exception, they were all frozen.
Then more clusters of demonic energy rushed over, but there were still no large clusters of demonic energy.
Clearly, the several Nascent Soul demons have begun to coordinate their attacks, using the weaker demonic energy as cannon fodder.
This is a common tactic used by the Heavenly Demons, so there's no need to elaborate.
As more and more clusters of demonic energy surged forward, some of the frozen clusters began to struggle.
In such a vast area of extreme cold, it feels like the intensity isn't quite up to par.
Han Li manipulated the demonic energy cluster, actively causing it to shrink—if the area of the field became smaller, its intensity would increase somewhat.
However, this only made the demonic energy attacks more intense, and two medium-sized demonic energy clusters even began to impact the field.
These two clusters of demonic energy were relatively agile, moving around the perimeter of the field and retreating as soon as they touched it.
This involves not only a war of attrition but also psychological warfare—and in this respect, the Heavenly Demon's strength is very obvious.
Forced into a corner, Han Li could only retreat slightly again, while simultaneously trying to increase the intensity of the field.
Fortunately, the diameter of his current field is still over a million kilometers, so the safety of the three people is not a problem in the short term.
Xiaoyou was still methodically dividing the world, unaffected in any way.
The field's range and intensity are strong enough even among the True Venerables of the Human Race, far surpassing even the Out-of-Body Heavenly Demon.
They couldn't imagine that with such a strong defense, the opponent was still hiding their true strength.
On the battlefield, the balance of power is always shifting. The fact that the three of them are currently unable to move has given the demons even more courage.
This group bullies the weak and fears the strong, excels at ambushes, and likes to push their luck, especially in situations like this.
As more demonic energy clusters joined the battle, Han Li even made a new discovery.
He curled his lip slightly. "Are you ready to secretly fish in troubled waters with your soul splitting away from your body?"
He didn't ask Qu Zhenzun what he was preparing, firstly because he trusted his teammate, and secondly... he had basically guessed some of it.
Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "We're waiting for news from Xiwu and the other two so we can adjust our objectives for the battle."
"Hmm," Han Li hummed softly, then sighed, "Luckily, these guys weren't smart enough to gang up on me!"
"Hehe," Qu Jianlei smiled slightly upon hearing this, knowing what the other person was referring to.
“That’s right. What I’m most worried about is these guys causing chaos everywhere in the realm, which actually gives us an opportunity.”
If the Heavenly Demon Qi Clan doesn't lock onto them and instead stirs up trouble in the realm, it will definitely affect the progress of the cutting process.
If they were to launch a counterattack on Qiuzhen Realm, the trouble would be even greater.
Although the Heavenly Demons are cunning, that is merely a racial talent, nothing more than petty cleverness, not true wisdom.
The opportunity Qu Zhenzun mentioned... is, of course, the opportunity for total annihilation. If it can be realized, it can ensure the progress of the dismantling to the greatest extent.
However, Han Li was still a little worried, "I'm afraid these guys will realize what's going on sometime."
“I estimate it won’t take long,” Qu Jianlei said solemnly, never underestimating his opponents. “I’ll wait at most two more hours.”
Fortunately, the Great Protector was efficient enough, and soon news came that the two were on their way.
The Qiuzhen Realm is currently facing a series of demonic calamities, and is at a critical juncture.
The five true deities of incense offerings are all skilled in projection, so they are not overwhelmed, but the consumption of incense offerings will increase significantly in the short term.
The two True Lords, Yugiri and Kaguya, did not go all out to provide assistance. Ensuring the stability of Kyoma was the primary premise, but a comprehensive consideration was also necessary.
Once they receive Qingkong's message, they will have to temporarily abandon Qiuzhen's side.
Therefore, the two also informed the Five True Venerables that something had happened in the Heavenly Demon Realm, with a large number of Heavenly Demons appearing, and that they needed to go and provide assistance.
Although the Five True Lords each had their own agendas, they were not lacking in a sense of the big picture.
If these people are already in trouble in the Heavenly Demon Realm, then if this situation isn't resolved, the Qiuzhen Realm will only become more dangerous in the future.
These five agreed to do their best to support them, which allowed Yugiri and the Dog-Riding True Lord to arrive in a hurry.
Seeing that the setup was complete, Han Li suddenly had a thought, and the extreme cold field suddenly exerted its power, releasing it wildly outwards!
At this moment, some of the demonic energy clusters did indeed have doubts—or rather, other thoughts!
The human race on the other side hasn't moved at all; they must be doing something to the boundary.
Some celestial demons have even sensed that certain bonds in this realm are loosening.
This is still the innate attribute of the Heavenly Demons; they have an extremely strong ability to perceive various anomalies in space.
Otherwise, so many demons wouldn't have been able to quietly invade the cultivation world through spatial rifts.
Since what the humans are doing is quite important, deliberately sabotaging it might have a surprising effect.
Because of this, although the demonic energy clusters are still approaching the battlefield, some of them have already stopped advancing.
However, once Qu Jianlei and others completed their tactical deployment, no matter how many ideas they had, it was all in vain.
In an instant, the extreme cold field expanded from a diameter of over one million kilometers to over fifty million kilometers.
At the same time, the intensity of the field suddenly increased, and a wild chill instantly descended upon the realm.
The magnitude and speed of this change exceeded human imagination, causing even space to fluctuate slightly and become noticeably unstable.
This is extreme cold capable of freezing space, demonstrating that no matter the type of attack, if it becomes powerful enough, it will undergo a qualitative change.
The besieging demons were taken aback when they saw this – this human race Grand Venerable was actually so unfathomable?
As expected, the human race is truly cunning. Even with such power, they still remain so patient!
The frigid field expanded rapidly, enveloping 99% of the demonic energy within it.
It must be admitted that Han Li's previous control of the situation was impeccable, with just the right amount of force and reaction.
As a result, many demonic energy clusters unknowingly approached the battlefield.
Some of the demons had other ideas, but they hadn't had time to put them into action yet—Qu Zhenzun hadn't given them much time to prepare.
Seeing that the extreme cold field was effective, Qu Jianlei raised his hand and made a series of hand seals.
The hand seals were extremely complex; he held them for over a minute, then let out a soft shout, "Hmph!"
In an instant, the entire realm was filled with a brilliant white light, as if a sun had suddenly appeared!
(First update of 2026. Happy New Year everyone! May all your wishes come true and everything go smoothly in the new year.)
