"Jiang Xue, how did you end up here? What is the situation in the current world? Did you come to the Divine Realm by yourself or did you bring the Army with you?"
Seeing that Wang Long was not seriously injured, Jiang Xue felt relieved and said angrily, "That Human Emperor really got off easy just now. However, he will definitely feel the pain in the current world. With the full cooperation of the Jiao Dragon Clan, we have thoroughly understood the Army gathered by the Divine Clan on the coast. We launched a full-scale attack and caught them completely off guard. It seems that some of the human experts have already been transferred to the Divine Realm for training or other missions. Although Slicing Shadow is there overseeing things with a group of giants, they couldn't stop our assault at all, and they suffered a major defeat overnight. We pursued for a while, but we were not familiar with the situation inland and knew that the Human Emperor has deep roots across the Eight Continents, so we did not continue chasing. Instead, we brought our Army directly to the Divine Realm and arrived here just in time."
Shunshen Song Shuping smiled and said, "You don't need to feel too regretful. Although that Phoenix Play Golden Pearl was taken by the Human Emperor, he was previously hit by me and Brahma Demon King. That Divine Artifact must have sustained some damage as well. In this battle, at least in the short term, the pros and cons are uncertain, and no one can imagine how much benefit he can actually derive from that Phoenix Play Golden Pearl. While it is certainly an artifact-level item, if he cannot grasp it properly, he might not be able to master such an Extraordinary Treasure for hundreds or even thousands of years."
Wang Long shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you are being overly optimistic. Although I don't know what use that Extraordinary Treasure will have, from what we felt in the recent battle, both my Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs and his Thirty-Six Heavens Palace Golden Threshold seem to resonate with that Phoenix Play Golden Pearl, attracting its golden light even more effectively than Spiritual Essence from Primordial Power. If he absorbs all of the Phoenix Play Golden Pearl, I can't even imagine how powerful it would become. I even suspect that this alone could allow him to recreate an entire current world."
Jiang Xue's expression changed as she said, "That can't be! In that case, we absolutely cannot relax our pressure on the Human Emperor; we must not let him absorb the Phoenix Play Golden Pearl at ease."
"We will discuss countermeasures later. Brahma Demon King, now that our Army has arrived, do you still want to continue this battle?"
Brahma Demon King coldly snorted and pushed North Heaven back with a punch while surveying his surroundings with a cold gaze. Although the effect of the Phoenix Play Golden Pearl was no longer present, his Ancient Demon Lords had not appeared immediately, which gave him a bad feeling. Now seeing that a team of elite experts from the Divine Clan and an army likely from Zero Realm had approached very close, various Demon Lords were struggling to resist. Although they had not yet faced a complete defeat, given that there was no hope left for obtaining the Phoenix Play Golden Pearl and considering their absolute disadvantage in numbers now occupied by the Divine Clan, continuing to fight would be meaningless.
With a wave of his sleeve, Brahma Demon King pointed towards the sky as countless Black Radiance descended like black lightning. Fortunately, this time it was only experts from the Divine Clan facing Brahma Demon King's scattered attacks; even if they couldn't dodge them completely, they only suffered minor grazes without any deaths among their ranks.
"This battle ends here! If they from the Divine Clan enjoy this place so much, let them have it. We retreat!"
"Yes!" The members of the Demon Clan felt disheartened upon hearing Brahma Demon King's command; their morale plummeted. What was originally a plan for them to ambush the Divine Clan had now been disrupted by various forces inserting themselves into the fray. Especially since their planned acquisition of the Phoenix Play Golden Pearl had been snatched away by others; if it weren't for Brahma Demon King being present, they would have nearly lost control.
On the side of the Divine Clan, they did not press too hard either; they did not hold a significant advantage against the Demon Clan this time. Mainly because North Heaven and Heaven's Binding were facing off against Brahma Demon King and three Ancient Beasts without any clear advantage—especially since True Navigator was injured and had not recovered while Victory Over Heaven had mysteriously vanished!
They could only watch helplessly as their opponents retreated.
Overall, the divine race has gained more than it has lost this time. Originally, this area belonged to the core region of the Demon Clan, but now it is under the control of the divine race. As for the main forces of the Demon Clan that have been scattered, if they do not escape quickly enough, they will surely be ruthlessly dealt with.
Heaven's Binding and North Heaven slowly retreated into the army, their expressions towards Wang Long still somewhat off. It is understandable; after all, owing such a significant favor to a young man like Wang Long was already quite frustrating for them. To make matters worse, Wang Long had taken advantage of the situation to seize the Phoenix Play Golden Pearl. At this moment, North Heaven also watched as Wang Long was attacked by Brahma Demon King. When it comes to this grudge, they didn't even know where to start.
However, both sect leaders realized that something was amiss. It seemed that Wang Long's subordinates had a very close relationship with the divine race's army. Although they did not know what had happened in the main camp, they would not risk losing an important ally for the future by killing their savior at such a time.
"Greetings to both Master Zong!" The Divine Warriors saw that Heaven's Binding and his companion had not managed to seize the Phoenix Play Golden Pearl, which inevitably affected their morale a bit, but they maintained their decorum.
"Well, wasn't your main camp attacked by the Demon Clan? Wasn't it True Navigator who helped you out?" This time, having mobilized so many forces but only achieving such meager results left both sect leaders feeling quite embarrassed. They asked sternly and deliberately ignored Wang Long and Jiang Xue.
"Uh, not exactly," the Ancient Deity who spoke first exchanged awkward glances with his companions. "At that time, True Navigator was ambushed by an Ancient Beast and got injured on the way. Fortunately, Jiang Xue led her army from Dragon City to our rescue; otherwise, given the situation that night, most of our main camp would have suffered severe losses. After we repelled the Demon Clan under Jiang Xue's command, we followed her suggestion and sent True Navigator to assist you three Master Zong. By the way, where is Master of Victory?"
"Hmph!" Hearing the elder's explanation from their sect made Heaven's Binding and his companions' expressions even darker. If they had previously seen Wang Long's act of seizing the Golden Radiance Treasure as a reason for their inaction, now realizing that they owed such a significant favor to Dragon City made their previous behavior seem even more disgraceful.
However, given their status, they could not openly apologize to Wang Long in front of so many people; they could only angrily say, "Don't mention Master of Victory! I really don't know what he is doing. If he had been here earlier to keep an eye on things, how could those Demon Clan members have escaped so easily?"
"Hehe, I seem to hear someone talking bad about me behind my back. Masters Zong, that's not a good habit," a voice suddenly came from Cheng Ji.
"Master of Victory!"
Wang Long heard Shunshen Song Shuping's voice laced with resentment and looked up towards the sky.
He wanted to see for himself what kind of person the leader of the Game God Sect was, someone who could make Song Shuping hate him so much. Moreover, how would he explain leaving alone during the great battle?
