Chapter 406: The War between the Dragon King Shrine and the Outer Gods
Three hours ago, the entire Demon Court was plunged into a period of war because the Chaos Species invaded no less than 30 times. Although the enemy was defeated every time, the people living on the border were also worried and nervous.

Today, the only two armies of the Demon Court are sweeping the border areas, and are even taking the initiative to expand their territory abroad, bringing some escaped demon people under the rule of the Demon Court.

After two days, the actual area of ​​the Demon Court has reached 2 square kilometers, an increase of one-quarter. It is half the size of a province in the Eastern Great Country and one-quarter of the territory of Neon Country.

However, due to geographical reasons, the length and width vary, with the longest being 600 kilometers and the shortest being only 80 kilometers.

Although the land is not small, there are less than 100,000 intelligent races living here, and there are some very harsh and desolate lands, so the Demon Court did not intervene.

The morning light gradually broke through the darkness. An elemental life form originally resided in a super-large volcano 700 kilometers away from Gushan City.

Fire demons live from the surface of volcanoes to the magma layer at the bottom of volcanoes, and their strength ranges from level two to level eight.

But that was the situation yesterday. Now a bloodbath is going on inside the volcano, and an eighth-level Fire Demon Lord is being torn apart alive.

The murderer had a sheep's head and a human body, his body was covered with hair-like tentacles, and his body surface was filled with black flames.

It is a subordinate deity of the Lord of Hatred, the god of black fire.

The goal of the God of Black Fire today is to destroy the Lonely Mountain City of the Demon Court and establish a stronghold for invading the inner world.

The destruction of the boundary wall has made the present situation different from the past. As long as Takama-ga-hara discovers their base late enough, the minions of the War of Hate will have enough confidence to take root in this land.

Now, because the boundary wall has been cut, the power contained in the volcano has grown from a large volcano to a super volcano. It is a rare treasure in the inner world.

After the base was completed, the first target of the minions of the outer gods was the Demon Court, which was not far away. Although they did not know that the Demon Court was behind Gushan City, during this period of time, the most fiercely resisting force within a radius of thousands of miles was the Demon Court.

The sheep-headed god stood up, and was 50 meters in size. With the help of the endless energy of volcanic magma, it opened a space portal of tens of meters in size.

Behind the space gate is a fiery purgatory, and then the roar of the goat-headed god lingers inside the volcano.

"Hurry up, minions, we will destroy everything we see."

One after another, strange-looking fire monsters walked out of the teleportation array. Their strength was at least level two. Among them, nearly 10 large monsters that came in crouching were at level eight.

What was even more terrifying was that four ninth-level gods also walked out of the portal and complained with disgust on their faces.

"Blackfire's territory is in a very bad state."

This time they will use their absolute strength to crush any forces that dare to resist, and they will also establish the kingdom of God on earth.

Soon the entire volcano was filled with the Outer Gods' servants, densely packed, no less than 5, and still increasing at a very fast rate. When these guys poured out of the volcano and spread to the surroundings, the entire demon court was shaken.

The smoke of war began to cover the territory of the Demon Court. The forest was shrouded in fire, and the dark and ominous aura polluted the earth. The creatures living here were harvested by the outer gods.

An hour later, the Moon-Chasing God, who had not yet awakened, had blood all over his face and tiredly followed the large army back to Gushan City, intending to defend the city.

An hour ago, a foreign invasion was discovered. Qingxuandeng, the temporary commander, had already sent people to ask for help from the Demon Court and even the Shrine and Dragon Palace. He also led his elite troops to block the enemy's vanguard.

The battle of the vanguard was going very smoothly, but a ninth-level subordinate god that looked like a gorilla appeared, resulting in many casualties among Qingxuande's own descendants. Fortunately, the Dragon King's maid was responsible and managed to hold back the subordinate god with the help of a dragon scale necklace.

The price was that Qing Xingdeng was seriously injured and dying. If the Demon Court Guards led by the ghost girl Hongye had not arrived in time, their army would have been wiped out.

On the Yaoting National Road, Zhuiyueshen looked at the injured comrades around her and couldn't help but hold her heart and felt very uncomfortable. The friends who had been talking and laughing with her not long ago were now buried on the battlefield.

She was already very proud of herself for having a strength close to level eight, but now she was hit by the reality that she was still too weak, and her desire for strength became even greater.

It was also because of the desire for strength that he finally activated the mechanism deep in his soul, and a phantom suddenly appeared in his mind.

This figure made Zhuiyue Shen feel both familiar and kind, as if his own voice was entering his brain.

"who are you?"

"I am Zhuiyue."

"who am I?"

"You are. I am???"

Just as Zhuiyue Shen was confused by the illusion, a hand patted her shoulder and brought her back to reality.

Zhuiyue Shen turned his head and found that it was his elder sister, the ghost girl Hongye, who had been taking good care of him during this period. He was so excited that he threw himself into her arms.

"Sister Hongye, I'm so glad you're okay."

The commander of the Demon Court's Royal Guards couldn't help but show a look of pain. She had suffered serious injuries in order to escape from the True God, but the effort was worth it as she was able to evacuate the large army safely.

If a large number of the Demon Court's troops were killed here, she wouldn't know how to explain to that bastard man. And where did that dead guy go? He didn't show up when he was most needed.

The ghost girl Hongye touched the head of the Moon Chasing God.

"Okay, stop acting like a spoiled brat. Let's go back to Lonely Mountain City first."

"Ah."

The main force of the demon court quickly returned to Gushan City, while the team responsible for the rear guard kept fighting with the enemies that caught up with them. They fought and retreated at the same time, and the fighting was very tragic. When the ghost girl Hongye returned to Gushan City, Kiryuu Xue had already prepared for the war, letting the ground network army take over the city defense, arranging most of the demon people to Gushan, and evacuating them from Dongtianmen to the demon court, and they could abandon Gushan City when necessary.

If people survive but lose land, both people and land survive; if land survives but loses people, both people and land lose.

Soon, the fighting force of the demon court was fully assembled, nearly 600 members of the demon court, a total of 3 eighth-level demon generals. Among them, the demon girl Hongye barely fought against the ninth level, Kiryuu Xue's actual fighting power also reached the peak of the eighth level, and even Qingxuande had the fighting power of the late stage.

16 seventh-level demon generals, 85 sixth-level demon soldiers, and 487 fifth-level demon soldiers.

In addition, there are more than 7000 garrison demon troops gathered.

The demon girl Momiji and Kiryuu Yuki hug each other.

"Xue, what's the situation now?"

Kiryuu Yuki: "All the people who can come to Gushan Castle have already arrived. I will ask them to evacuate the remaining towns and villages in a timely manner."

This is already the best solution. The enemy's vanguard has already reached the edge of Gushan City, and a fierce battle is about to begin.

Suddenly, there were fluctuations at the East Gate on the lonely mountain, proving that reinforcements had arrived.

First, two women appeared in the lead. They were Mikawa Kaori and Yunwu Ryuji. Behind them were a group of powerful priestesses, the weakest of whom was at level five. There were hundreds of them.

There are also five seventh-level priestesses.

They are Chizuru Saionji, Gekuri Kanroji, Kyoka Konoe, Mai Shiranui, and Neiko Kuroba.

There are also hundreds of various ghosts and monsters, and the weakest one is only level five.

As for Fujiwara Iori, the Saiou, although he also had the strength of the late seventh stage, he still arranged logistics at the shrine as usual. Batches of elixirs were transported from various torii gates to the Longjun Shrine, and then from the Nantianmen through the demon court to the inner world.

Nearly two months have passed, and the war machine of the Dragon King's forces has started running again in the absence of the ruler.

The appearance of reinforcements finally made the Demon Court breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise the Demon Court alone would not be able to resist the enemy whose vanguard troops even had ninth-level strongmen.

As for the monsters that came out of the Thunder Prison, they had just recovered half of their strength, so they continued to recuperate in the Monster Suppression Tower. They would not appear unless they had no other choice.

Because this war will most likely attract Takama-ga-hara's attention, and there will be no more than one or two ninth-level warriors participating in the war on both sides, it is not convenient for the people from Leiyu to show up.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar ninth-level aura appeared at the East Gate of Heaven, immediately attracting a lot of people's attention.

Although there was only one person coming, many people were surprised because this was a human and also a witch.

This woman is the former Sai Ou, now Ryujun Saigū, Akimiya Shizuko.

It has been more than a month since she reached the peak of the eighth level. Thanks to someone's hard work, she finally broke through to the ninth level two days ago. Even Yuzuru Nagayama didn't know that she had successfully broken through.

Shizuko Akimiya floated over to the girls and nodded and greeted them in a lukewarm manner, which aroused the curiosity of those who didn't know her.

Yunwu Longji asked curiously.

"The human aura of this immortal is quite pure. This is the first time I have seen it."

That’s right, Shizuko Akimiya’s breakthrough was not to become a god, but an immortal, so her human bloodline is so strong. This was a decision she made under the guidance of a man in bed.

Akimiya Shizuko smiled and nodded.

"Some guy suggested it. I hope I can help in this battle."

The name of a certain guy made the girls smile knowingly. Needless to say, they all knew that he was referring to an irresponsible guy.

Soon new reinforcements arrived. They were the Ryugu forces led by the Suzuka sisters. In order to guard against the movements of the fishmen, the Deepsea Eater, who had half a step out of the ninth level, had to stay in the Ryugu.

This time the battle will be fought on the inner land far away from the ocean, so there are relatively few Dragon Palace fighters participating, but each of them is comparable to the fifth level, and there are nearly 150 people in total.

The best of the eighth rank is Ling Ji, the four of the seventh rank are Niu Gui, Lei Ji, Xie Ji, and Yachiyo Karin who just successfully transformed into a dragon.

Soon, some scattered members of the Dragon King also arrived one by one.

Gojo Shin, a powerful late seventh-level warrior from Kibune Shrine.

The lord of the Tone River, Kasumihime Arijo, who is at the peak of the seventh level.

Another mountain god who is at the peak of the seventh rank, Hatsufuji Yukino.

Of course, the most surprising thing is that there are two people. One is a woman who is not unfamiliar to the shrine maiden, Kiryu Yuki's mother, Kiryu Gen, a spider demon whose soul has reached the ninth level. It seems that Kiryu Yuki finally couldn't bear to give up her family and let Kiryu Gen go.

The other person is a human who has one foot halfway into the ninth level, the Sword Saint Miyamoto Musashi, perhaps he should be called the Sword God soon.

At this moment, the combined combat power of the Dragon King's forces is not weak even in Takama-ga-hara, and they have unknowingly reached the point of a showdown.
