Chaos!
This was the current situation of the entire Third Heaven. It was a complete mess.
The Third Layer of Heaven was like a group of dragons without a leader, they didn't know what to do. Daoist Master Tianzui passed down an order and many people went to carry it out.
Although some clans and people did not move, most of the humans had already started to move towards the Purple Sun Continent.
Countless teleportation arrays continued to teleport people, and countless warships rose into the sky. Many flying beasts also flew day and night, bringing countless people to the south.
Without the help of these great clans, it would take hundreds of years for the commoners to cross, and a large number of them would die on the way.
Daoist Master Tianzui gave three years, which was obviously impossible.
Even if all the major and minor clans were to mobilize, it would still be almost impossible.
After all, there were too many people in the Third Heaven, and the journey was too long.
Some of the clans from the Chilly Winter Continent and the Divine Wind Continent had already moved over. The Qi Clan, Lu Clan, and a few other great clans had moved to the center of the Purple Sun Continent.
This was the safest place. If the Demonic Abyss army could invade the center of the Purple Sun Continent, the Third Heaven would be finished.
Perfected Ziyun and Great Emperor Candle Sky also led a group of Great Emperors. They didn't move in a group, instead, they split up into groups of two.
This time, a total of twenty Emperor-ranked experts had been mobilized. This group of people was determined to die. They were prepared to die in the Flying Fire Continent and the Northern Plains Continent.
Ten Overlords went to Flying Fire Continent, while ten Overlords went to Northern Plains Continent.
Daoist Zi Yun led a team to the Flying Fire Continent, while Great Thearch Candle Heaven led a team to the Northern Plains Continent. Daoist Zi Yun and his team were in the most danger as there were a few Demon Ancestors there.
They began to attack wantonly from the rear, retreating as soon as they attacked a place.
This way, firstly, it would restrain the experts of the Demonic Abyss, and secondly, it would slow down the progress of the Demonic Abyss army.
If the rear was unstable, the frontlines would definitely be affected.
The reaction of the Demon Abyss was a little strange.
The Demonic Abyss was not in a hurry to attack. After Daoist Master Tianzui issued the order to retreat, the Demonic Abyss army's attack speed slowed down, as if they were deliberately letting the humans retreat.
Originally, the Demon Abyss Army had already occupied more than half of the Flying Fire Continent. Only after four or five months had passed did they completely occupy the entire Flying Fire Continent.
After that, the Demonic Abyss Army didn't attack the Silver Flame Sea or other areas. Instead, they stopped at the Flying Fire Continent.
Reverend Zi Yun and Great Emperor Candle Heaven's movements were not hindered too much. None of the Demon Ancestors moved, only the Demon Venerables moved.
Some powerful Demon Venerables brought along young Demon Venerables, such as Qian Gang and Qian Jing.
If those Demon Ancestors were to take action, Perfected Zi Yun and Great Emperor Candle Heaven would probably have more than half of them left. If only a few Demon Supremacies were dispatched, then Perfected Zi Yun and Great Emperor Candle Heaven would have a high chance of survival.
The battle suddenly came to a stalemate again. Of course, this was not due to the humans. It was all because the Demonic Abyss had stopped attacking.
The humans were retreating quickly, especially the Silver Flame Sea Region. They were the closest to the Demon Abyss Army. If they did not escape quickly, they would die miserably.
…
The people of the Third Heaven were in a state of panic and chaos, but the people of the Demonic Abyss were celebrating.
When the news reached the Demonic Abyss, the Sacred Mountain was in an uproar. Although the Royal Demon Sovereigns had all left, there were still countless Demon Masters and many of the younger generation of the Royal Family. The Sacred Mountain was bustling for many days.
The Flying Fire Continent had been conquered, but there were more routes of attack. The Third Heaven was retreating, and victory was in sight.
The shame of the ancestors of the Demonic Abyss could finally be washed away. The Demonic Abyss could have a huge world. According to Divine Ancestor Yuan, the Demonic Abyss would soar after conquering the Middle King Realm.
To all the people of the Demonic Abyss, Divine Ancestor Yuan was their ancestor god. Nobody doubted his words. Therefore, countless Royal Family members were overjoyed. They were looking forward to the day when the Middle King Realm was completely conquered.
Lu Li knew nothing about all this. He was still cultivating in the Heaven Pool.
This secret skill was more complicated and mysterious than he had imagined. He thought he was about to master it, but he had only learned the outer Profound Meaning. He had not understood the core Profound Meaning yet.
He did not have a sense of time when he was cultivating. He always thought that when the time came, Qian Dagger would take him up.
Or, if he absorbed too much water from the Heaven Pool and his body could not take it anymore, then he would stop cultivating.
Little did he know that Qian Dagger would take him up from the Heaven Pool quietly. Because his body was not in the Heaven Pool, his body could not take in too much energy.
Just like that, he sat there in a daze. By now, he had been cultivating for close to a year. The two Demon Abyss soldiers were getting impatient from waiting.
But Qian Dagger's order was to guard Lu Li and bring him down the mountain when he woke up. Therefore, the two Demonic Abyss warriors didn't dare to touch Lu Li. They had to wait here.
Lu Li was focused on cultivation, so he did not pay attention to the situation in the Realm of Dharma. What he did not know was that — at the moment, his Realm of Dharma had undergone a drastic change.
The Realm of Dharma had absorbed a lot of energy from the Heaven Pool. There was a faint purple haze in the Realm of Dharma. The haze was faint but it filled the entire Realm of Dharma.
The Divine Chains of Order that had been lurking in the Realm of Dharma had come out. They had been wandering around in the Realm of Dharma, shuttling back and forth among the clouds of haze.
The Divine Chains of Order were objects of heaven and earth, objects with intelligence. They did not have high intelligence but they always had their own consciousness.
Back in the days, when Lu Li was on the verge of death, the Divine Chains of Order would come out to protect him.
Before Lu Li reached the Emperor Realm, he could not command the Divine Chains of Order. Only when he reached the Emperor Realm did the Divine Chains of Order surrender.
After the Divine Chains of Order entered the Realm of Dharma, they had been lurking and never came out.
But this time, they suddenly came out and shuttled back and forth in the purple haze, which indicated that the purple haze was extraordinary.
At the same time, the Divine Chains of Order were changing as well. At first, the Divine Chains of Order were gathered together but now, they were wriggling, like a whirlpool in a river.
The Divine Chains of Order were pure and powerful energy born in the Realm of Dharma. Before Lu Li mobilized that energy, it would not be used. But now, it was moving quietly and it was still moving. It was enough to indicate that something was happening in Lu Li's Realm of Dharma.
The change was caused by Lu Li transferring the energy from the Heaven Pool into the Realm of Dharma.
What was more amazing was —
As the whirlpool spun, the energy in the Heaven Pool was moved quietly. From the bottom of the Heaven Pool, the energy flowed into Lu Li's body and then into the Realm of Dharma.
But the energy was thin, just like the Reiki in heaven and earth. It was hard for others to sense it.
The two Asmodian warriors not far away could not sense it. Of course, it might be because they were too weak. A Demon Lord or a Demon Lord would have sensed it.
The energy entered Lu Li's body quietly and went straight to the Realm of Dharma.
The energy was thin and Lu Li had shut off his senses. Therefore, he could not sense it, either.
If Lu Li had noticed it, he would have been startled.
The Realm of Dharma was moving on its own?
It was still silently absorbing the energy in the Heaven Pool. What a strange thing this was.
