Lu Li did not let his guard down after he left the Infinite Star Region. He flew as fast as he could and entered several Void Deserted Universes. He stayed there for a while and made some arrangements.
He was delighted to find that the pursuers seemed to have stopped. None of his arrangements were touched.
Of course, he did not stop. He continued to fly the Holy Mountain to the second Star Region.
This flight lasted for a few months. During this period of time, he once again entered many places and stopped at each place. He even left behind his aura and set up many Divine Inscriptions that were both visible and hidden.
But when he arrived at the second Star Region, none of his arrangements were touched. Did the pursuers really stop?
"Why did you stop?"
Lu Li could not figure it out. He was tempted. Maybe … he could go back to the Central King Universe and have a look.
In the end, he resisted the urge. He did not want to bring disaster to the Third Heaven. If the powerful warriors of the Wild Race were to follow him to the Third Heaven, it would be a nightmare for the Third Heaven. All the humans related to him would be wiped out.
If the powerful warriors of the Wild Race were violent, the entire human race could be wiped out.
"I wonder if Sacred Ancestor Yuan and the others are dead."
Lu Li was worried. The Four-Armed Race was after Sacred Ancestor Tian and the others. The Infinite Star Region was a mess. It would not be easy for the Saint Emperors to live in peace.
Lu Li could not go back. He could only pray.
"I will stay in this Star Region for a while. If the powerful warriors of the Wild Race don't come after me, I will sneak back!"
Lu Li made up his mind. He flew toward the halo and soon disappeared into the haze.
…
There had been some commotion in the Third Heaven recently. It had been a few years since the Devil Abyss had retreated. However, the Devil Abyss still hadn't made any moves. All the Devil Abyss soldiers had retreated to the Holy Devil Nest and hadn't made any movements.
Human scouts had been searching the continents but found no Abyss of Demons, not even one scout.
At first, the human race was afraid to move. But recently, many families had begun to send out scouts to investigate.
They could not help it!
If nothing had happened to the Abyss of Demons, it would not be so strange.
After so many years, even if there was some trouble in the Demonic Abyss, Divine Ancestor Yuan and the others would have already settled it, right?
The Demonic Abyss had an absolute advantage, so they didn't need to use any tricks or schemes against the humans. So, the only explanation was that something big had happened in the Demonic Abyss. Their base was no longer safe, and their experts had all returned.
Such a heaven-sent opportunity could not help but move the hearts of the powerhouses. If they could break through the Holy Devil's Lair, they would be able to chase the Demon Abyss Army back. Then, they could destroy or seal the passageway, and the human race would be considered to have survived the great calamity.
Recently, many Emperor-ranked experts had come to request to fight. Both Immortal Tianzui and Saint Emperor Xiaoyao were tempted.
If they wasted this opportunity and gave the Demon Abyss a chance to make a comeback, they would be the sinners of the human race.
"Why don't … I bring some men to give it a try?"
Saint Sovereign Unfettered suggested and the group of Monarch Rankers immediately requested for a battle. Dao Master Sky Crime thought about it and finally agreed.
After all, the Demonic Abyss was too quiet. Spiritual Master Tianzui wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't check it out.
Saint Sovereign Unfettered led more than ten Monarch Rankers and set off. Close to ten thousand scouts also went to the North Plains Continent to monitor the situation there.
More than a month later, Saint Sovereign Unfettered led a group of Monarch Rankers and arrived outside the Holy Devil's Lair. Once they appeared, there was a change in the Holy Devil's Lair. Countless Demon Abyss Army surged out. There were also many Demon Supremacies and a Demon Ancestor hidden in the army, ready to launch a sneak attack at any time.
Saint Sovereign Unfettered and the others fought for a while before they all retreated. Many Monarch Rankers turned pale with fright. They thought that the Demon Abyss Army would move out again and sweep through the Third Heaven.
Saint Sovereign Unfettered, however, was overjoyed. From the reaction of the Demon Abyss, he felt that the Demon Abyss Army was only putting on a strong front. Otherwise, they would not have such an intense reaction.
He led a group of Monarch Rankers and attacked continuously. Every time, they would retreat after a while.
There was indeed a Demon Ancestor here. It was Saint Ancestor Kong who had stayed behind. However, after so many battles, only this Demon Ancestor appeared. The other Demon Ancestors were nowhere to be seen.
After attacking for tens of times, Saint Sovereign Unfettered led all the Monarch Rankers and retreated.
Then, he immediately sent scouts back to ask Dao Master Sky Crime to bring all the formidable martial artists and the army over. They were to prepare for a large-scale attack and chase the Demon Abyss Army back.
"Get ready to retreat …"
Saint Ancestor Kong, who was in the Holy Devil Nest, waved his hand helplessly after Saint Sovereign Unfettered left. He ordered the Demon Abyss Army to retreat.
He knew that Saint Sovereign Unfettered had already found out about the real situation. The next attack would definitely be with the strength of the Third Heaven. He, a Saint Ancestor, would not be able to withstand it.
Saint Ancestor Yuan and the others had disappeared without any news. This made Saint Ancestor Kong feel hopeless. Most importantly, the Sacred Mountain had not been found. Lu Li had taken drastic measures to deal with the Demon Abyss.
The other Saint Emperors were not coming back. He, one Saint Emperor, could not withstand two Saint Emperors from the human race. What was he doing here?
Now, not only did he not think about taking down the Middle King Domain, but he was also worried that Dao Master Sky Crime and Saint Sovereign Unfettered would lead their troops to attack the Demon Abyss.
Many Demon Supremacies could not accept this. This time, they were about to take over the Third Heaven. They did not expect to return in defeat. Even the Sacred Mountain had been taken away. Their Saint Ancestors were also missing, and they did not know if they were still alive.
Many Demon Supremacies wanted to attack the Zi Yang Continent and massacre half the human race there. It would not matter even if they died there.
However, Saint Ancestor Kong suppressed their impulses. The Demon Abyss was in a bad situation now. It was better to preserve some strength.
Countless Demon Abyss soldiers retreated quickly. By the time Immortal Tianzui arrived with his army, the Holy Devil's Nest had become an empty nest.
There were only tens of thousands of Demon Abyss soldiers patrolling the perimeter. All the Demon Abyss soldiers inside had fled back to the Demon Abyss. The passage connecting them had been destroyed by Saint Ancestor Kong.
In order to open up this passage, the Demon Abyss had spent hundreds of thousands of years and paid a huge price. Now, the Demon Abyss had destroyed it?
While Immortal Tianzui was overjoyed, he could not figure it out.
Tens of thousands of Demon Abyss soldiers were killed. Not a single one was spared. In addition, Immortal Tianzui and Divine Emperor Xiaoyao personally explored the entire third layer of heaven. They sealed all the places where the passageway might appear. The passageway on the Chilly Winter Continent was completely destroyed.
The catastrophe of the Third Heaven had been overcome!
The news spread to the Zi Yang Continent. The entire Zi Yang Continent was immersed in a sea of joy. Cheers of the human race could be heard everywhere.
Countless people were shouting the names of Immortal Tianzui, Saint Sovereign Unfettered, and Lu Li.
Of course, more people were in a daze. The victory seemed to have come too easily. It was so easy that they felt it was unreal.
The Third Heaven was on the verge of destruction. However, things changed. The Demon Abyss army suddenly retreated. Now, all of them had retreated back to the Demon Abyss.
The entire Zi Yang Continent was rejoicing. However, the backyard of the Lu Family was devoid of joy. Everyone in the Lu Family was worried about one thing — the passage connecting to the Demon Abyss had been destroyed. How could Lu Li come back?
