The Third Heaven was still being evacuated. The Abyss of Demons was stabilizing their territory and hunting down Immortal Zi Yun and Candle Heaven.
It was peaceful in the Abyss of Demons as well. All the civilians were cultivating quietly, waiting for the day when the Abyss of Demons army would take over the Third Heaven.
Lu Li, on the other hand, had been cultivating and studying the soul skills passed down by Ancestor Hu. His Dharma Realm, on the other hand, was quietly absorbing the energy in the pond.
Time flew by. Soon, another year had passed!
Saint Ancestor Yun at the Flying Fire Continent still hadn't moved. The army was still at the Flying Fire Continent.
All the major families of the Silver Flames Sea had evacuated. Eighty percent of the civilians had left, and the remaining twenty percent had almost reached the Wind Continent.
More than half of the Chilly Winter Continent had evacuated. The Feather Continent and the Western Yuan Continent were also evacuating.
Now, the Purple Yang Continent was overcrowded with people. Houses had been built in countless wilderness, and caves had been dug in many mountains.
The outskirts of many cities were densely packed with people.
Daoist Master Tianzui had given them three years. More than a year had passed, and only thirty percent of the population had evacuated. Another thirty to forty percent were still on the way. The rest of the people either didn't want to leave, or had escaped into the Secret Realm of the Small World or the Broken Void.
After a year of hard work, Immortal Tianzui and a group of Sacred Rune Masters had built several preliminary lines of defense. But it was far from enough.
According to Immortal Tianzui's plan, the entire Zi Yang Continent should be surrounded by defense lines in all four directions, turning the Zi Yang Continent into a stinky, hard rock, a turtle shell.
Otherwise, how could they resist the Abyss of Demons army for a hundred years?
For many elders, a hundred years might be a blink of an eye. But to resist the Abyss of Demons army for a hundred years, how difficult would that be?
During this time, the only piece of good news was that Saint Emperor Xiaoyao was still alive!
Saint Emperor Xiaoyao's escaping skills were unparalleled in the world. He managed to escape from the pursuit of two Asmodians.
That being said, he was seriously injured. He fled into a perilous place where he was healing.
He sent a message back through a secret method, saying that he would come back when he was healed.
Daoist Tianzui and the other experts of the Human Race were in high spirits. Since Saint Emperor Xiaoyao was still alive, the Human Race still had a fighting chance. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for Daoist Tianzui to hold on by himself.
Most of the clans contributed all the spirit herbs and divine materials that they had accumulated over the years. All the treasured lands in the Purple Sun Continent were open to the public for free. Countless talented cultivators used these resources and treasured lands to cultivate and increase their combat prowess.
When the nest is overturned, how can there be intact eggs?
Those great families knew very well that as long as they defeated the Demon Abyss Army, they would get back what they had lost.
If he couldn't defeat them, then wouldn't the Devil Abyss benefit from all those divine materials and divine medicines?
The Triple Human Race was unprecedentedly united. They had given up everything and only had the Purple Sun Continent left.
If they couldn't defend it, then they would die together.
Daoist Zi Yun and Great Sovereign Candle Heaven also retreated. Four of the twenty Great Sovereigns had died, but they didn't suffer too much. They killed three Demon Sovereigns and destroyed hundreds of Demon Sovereigns.
Z had slaughtered millions of Demon Abyss soldiers.
Of course, this was also because the Great Demon Ancestors didn't make a move. Otherwise, not many of the twenty Great Sovereigns would have returned alive.
Another half a year passed. Almost all the humans in the Silver Flame Sea Domain had retreated. More than half of the Divine Wind Continent and East Feather Continent had also retreated. The Demon Abyss Army finally made a move. They split into several groups and attacked in three different directions: the east, west, and south.
When Daoist Tianzui received the news, he heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was bewildered.
The Demon Abyss had attacked too late. More than half of the human race had already retreated. By the time they arrived, there would only be some empty continents left.
This was what made Daoist Tianzui bewildered. The Demon Abyss didn't seem to want to fight with the human race.
It seemed like they were waiting for the human race to retreat before they went to take over the rest of the continents and sea domains.
Didn't they attack the Third Heaven to enslave the human race and occupy the Third Heaven completely?
The human race's strength would be preserved. Even if they took over the rest of the continents, it wouldn't be considered as completely occupying the Third Heaven.
Could it be that the Great Demon Ancestors looked down on them?
They felt that it was too troublesome to start a war everywhere. So, they waited for the human race to gather on one continent and then annihilate them?
Daoist Tianzui couldn't understand. He was also at his wit's end. He could only continue to lead people. At the same time, he also mobilized some experts who knew about Divine Pattern Formations to set up formations outside the Purple Yang Continent.
The more Divine Pattern Formations they set up, the harder it would be for the Demon Abyss to attack the Purple Yang Continent in the future.
In fact, it wasn't just the human race who couldn't understand. Qian Gang, Qian Liu, and Qian Jing also couldn't understand. The Demon Sovereigns of the Demon Abyss were also thinking about this problem.
They originally had a good opportunity to follow up their victory and nibble away at the human race's strength bit by bit.
Divine Ancestor Yuan said that they couldn't massacre the human race on a large scale. As long as they didn't kill the civilians, it would be fine. Wasn't it better to slaughter the human race's experts and army?
Divine Ancestor Yuan didn't give any explanation. The Great Divine Ancestors also seemed to have suddenly disappeared. The commander of the army was Qian Dagger.
Qian Dagger also gave a death order. After occupying some territory, they would first build Demon Abyss Z?
Little by little, they would spread out.
Only after building Demon Abyss Z?
Only then would the Demon Abyss army have a base camp. Only then would they be able to quickly mobilize the army.
They would advance step by step. Apart from the Purple Yang Continent, the rest of the Third Heaven would be occupied by Demon Abyss Z.
After that, they would be able to surround the Purple Yang Continent. It would be easy to completely annihilate the human race.
While advancing slowly, they retreated quickly.
If the territory occupied by the Demon Abyss was replaced by black and the human race was replaced by white, then the north would already be black. Furthermore, that black cloud was slowly moving towards the south while the white area was getting smaller and smaller.
After a period of time, only a small piece of the Purple Yang Continent in the south would be left.
"The Demon Abyss is looking for something!"
After another three months, Saint Sovereign Xiaoyao returned. He immediately looked for Immortal Tianzui and said, "On my way back, I discovered that there were scouts from the Demon Abyss everywhere. Those scouts are searching all over the world."
"Searching?"
Immortal Tianzui asked in confusion, "What are they looking for?
What is it that the Demon Abyss is interested in?
Could it be that they are looking for you? "
"That's not it …"
The Unfettered Saint Emperor's eyes were also filled with confusion. He said, "I interrogated two Demon Masters, but they didn't know much either. They only said that the Demon Ancestors asked them to search for a relic, a relic where many Demon Abyss cultivators were buried."
Immortal Tianzui frowned and said, "Millions of years ago, countless Demon Abyss experts fell in the Third Heaven. It is normal for them to look for the remains of their ancestors."
"No, no!"
The Unfettered Sage Sovereign shook his head firmly and said, "They're not looking for the Remains. The two Demon Masters said that Divine Ancestor Yuan isn't interested in the Remains, but in the battlefield. Divine Ancestor Yuan is looking for that battlefield."
"Battlefield …"
Immortal Tianzui was completely confused. Millions of years had passed. When the Demon Abyss invaded, there were battlefields everywhere.
Furthermore, millions of years had passed. The Third Heaven had changed a lot. Let alone the Demon Abyss, it would probably be difficult for him to find it before.
Moreover, what was the special meaning of finding this battlefield?
