The impartments from the nine seniors would definitely make the younger generation of the Warrior Temple become much more powerful than Qiu Yonghao’s generation. As a result, the nine Eternal Heroes garnered the highest respect from the members of the upper echelon.

“The Demon God of Death Samigina is currently marching through day and night with sixteen demon gods and five hundred thousand demon elites. According to the information provided to us, they will arrive at the Southeastern Fort in around three days’ time. I’ve gathered everyone today to discuss our countermeasures.

Qiu Yonghao’s words made the atmosphere there tense. Even though they had already anticipated that the Demon God Emperor would treat them as a fantastic target as the fort closest to Modu, they still became very nervous when the demon army was actually coming.

After all, the Southeastern Fort guarded by the Warrior Temple had been attacked the most. It was also one of the weaker forts of the six. The demon army had come this time with great aggression, such that just the demon gods amounted to sixteen. That only demonstrated how much pressure the Warrior Temple was under.

“Is the information accurate, temple head Qiu?” The old man who sat at the end of the table asked sternly out of the nine Eternal Heroes.

Qiu Yonghao nodded, “The information is very accurate. The chairman had ordered people to deliver it. At the same time, it matches up with the information we’ve obtained ourselves, so it’s very reliable. Senior Ye, what would be your suggestion?”

The old man at the fourth rank of the ninth step was called Ye Sanmi. He shook his head gently, “We’re only responsible for fighting. You decide the battle strategy and tactics. However, I have to remind you that are troops are a mix of the six temples now. It’s different from before, so the battle strategy and tactics must be adjusted accordingly.”

“Yes,” Qiu Yonghao replied politely. He really was not afraid of Samigina anymore. Currently in the Southeastern Fort, there were several hundreds of thousand people with vocations, almost amounting to half a million. They did not pale in comparison to the demons at all in terms of numbers. Even if the demons’ army was composed of the greatest elites, the Southeastern Fort had been favoured by the union after the last holy war and its defences increased. There were also nine Eternal Heroes present. They could not necessarily win a battle against the demons on open ground, but Qiu Yonghao had great confidence in guarding the Southeastern Fort.

Orders were sent out one after another, making arrangements according to Long Haochen’s strategy for the entire war. If the Southeastern Fort was attacked by the demon army, they would only have a single objective, which was to defend, to keep the demon army busy there and to reduce their losses. Just that was enough.

The same battle strategy was used at the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass guarded by the Spiritual Temple. The Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass had received quite a large reinforcement, but they had always been one of the most difficult forts to breach out of the six, together with the Tombal Mountain Pass guarded by the Mage Temple. Coupled with the rearrangement of vocations, the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass also possessed people of all six vocations. Chen Hongyu also had nine Eternal Heroes by his side, so he was filled with confidence. Not only did he want to defend, he was even slightly tempted to launch a counterattack against the demons.

As the troops of the humans and demons were mobilised, the atmosphere over the entire Shengmo Dalu became more and more tense.

However, the first clash would not involve their armies. Instead, it would come from the peak forces amounting to around a thousand lead by the Demon God Emperor

When they had basically crossed half of the demons’ territory and reached the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass using their great strength, the armies lead by the Demon God of Death and the Hell Demon God had not even reached their respective forts.

The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was already in view in the distance. The Moon Demon God Agares arrived beside the Demon God Emperor’s carriage and asked sternly, “Your majesty, do we launch an attack immediately, or do we…”

The Demon God Emperor said indifferently, “There’s no hurry. Didn’t Long Haochen purposely draw us over? Let me see him first. Just here will do. Find a level area to set up camp.”

“Yes,” Agares replied and immediately passed on the Demon God Emperor’s order.

Agares might have ranked second amongst the demon gods, but he seemed more like the caretaker of the entire army in that moment. He carried out the Demon God Emperor’s will.

They were twenty-five kilometers away from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.

Amongst the chilly wind, fine tents made from tanned leather were quickly erected in the wilderness.

Having great strength was the best. Even when it came to erecting tents, it could be completely very quickly.

If it was an ordinary army, seventh step powerhouses would possess an extremely high status. However, in this group, even powerhouses of the eighth step had to perform menial jobs. There were no seventh step demons in the army at all. Even the lowest was at the eighth step. With around a thousand eighth ste demons, just how terrifying of a force was this? Even if the six temples were combined, they might not have been able to gather so many powerhouses.

The tents had to be shared between a pair of eighth step demons. Only ninth step powerhouses possessed the right to a tent alone, while the tents of the demon gods were dark golden. The largest obviously belonged to the Demon God Emperor.

The tent was like a palace. That was the best description of the Demon God Emperor’s tent.

All these demons really did not stand out in the north buffeted by wind and snow, when night had already descended. However, once the tents were erected and the demons had settled down, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass immediately discovered them.

It was impossible for the mountain pass to ignore them. They stood out just too much.

Nineteen pillars of light immediately lit up.

Every single pillar was a different colour and size as well. However, even the shortest stood a hundred meters tall, while the longest, purple one was almost a thousand meters long.

These were the demon god pillars of the nineteen demon gods that had come with the Demon God Emperor. When the nineteen demon god pillars appeared, the light illuminated the wilderness but also caused great shock to the mountain pass.

Apart from the Eternal Heroes, none of the powerhouses from the mountain pass had witnessed such a grand sight before.

The nineteen demon god pillars meant that nineteen demon gods had arrived outside the mountain pass. Most importantly, the nineteen demon god pillars formed a ring and in the centre, a dark golden light was vaguely visible. It connected the ground with the sky, as if it held up the firmament alone. Although it was not clear, the dignified aura it gave off surpassed the nineteen demon god pillasrs combined.

Even the chairman of the Temple Union, the captain of the Bright Glimmer of Hope witnessed this and was shocked by it, let alone others.

Knowing about this was one matter, while personally seeing it was something else. Despite appeared extremely calm on the surface, he felt pressure inside. The Demon God Emperor, the invincible existence on the Shengmo Dalu, had finally come. This also meant that he was about to face off against this terrifying existence.

All of the important members from the Knight Temple were stern. Even the Eternal Heroes were the same.

The news of victory against the demons by Long Haochen’s army had reached the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass as quickly as possible and it was spread across the entire union. As the chairman, Long Haochen’s popularity surged in that moment. Coupled with the magic film from before, who knew just how much Long Haochen’s influence had increased by since he became the chairman.

During the six thousand years of fending off the demons, the humans had never achieved such a great victory. However, now that they saw the twenty demon god pillars in the distance, all of their joy from this victory vanished.

A momentary triumph was not the same as final victory. As long as the invincible Demon God Emperor existed, then the humans would basically never be able to rise up.

While the Demon God Emperor did bring two hundred ninth step powerhouses with him and over a thousand at the eighth step, the greatest threat that shocked the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was actually just the Demon God Emperor.

The accumulation of might over several thousand years could not be overcome by building up some courage. The atmosphere of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was terrifyingly tense.

“Long- Hao- Chen!” A solemn voice boomed out. Its terrifying might had almost made the entire mountain pass tremble slightly.

Seeing the demon powerhouses set up camp in the distance, the Knight Temple did not think they would launch an attack immediately. However, upon hearing the voice, all of them were surprised. They all looked at Long Haochen.

The voice came from twenty-five kilometers away, yet it felt like the Demon God Emperor was right before them.

Long Haochen squinted his eyes as they shone brightly. Kicking off the ground, he rose up and the six golden wings on his back unfurled. Immediately, he dyed the city of the mountain pass golden.

“Demon- God- Emperor!” Long Haochen said very calmly, without any emotions at all, but it also reached very far away.

As he said that, he slowly flew higher in the sky. At the same time, a bright streak of light descended from the sky and landed behind him.

The sky suddenly became illuminated like it was daytime. The white light immediately expanded and purged large parts of the darkness of the night. At least where the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass resided, it was all filled by the pure aura, which comforted the terror that everyone experienced.

A nine-coloured light began to expand from the centre of the white light. The nine colours were so magnificent, sacred and noble. They gave off a sense of supreme dignity.

A huge divine throne that spanned over three hundred meters appeared in the centre of the nine-coloured light. The light gave off a special aura as they existed without any disorder. Vaguely, the nine colours gradually formed rings of light, while the throne itself gradually gained the colour that was similar to white jade.

The exquisite sculpting on the back of the throne gave off an indescribable sense of beauty. On top was the celestial bodies, in the centre were birds and beasts, while the part connecting the back to the body were the phenomena of nature.

On the arm rests were the sculptures of a divine gigantic dragon and a twelve-winged angel. As the powerhouses of the mountain pass bathed in the light of the throne, all of their fear was purged. They could no longer feel any of the pressure from the twenty demon god pillars in the distance.
