Chapter 785: 777, Curved Realm Water, comes from the heavens! When the Demon Race retreated like a receding tide towards the Wangchuan Mountain Range, the people of the Hundred Sects Alliance gradually stopped moving.
"Look!"
Someone pointed at the sky in surprise.
The coalition forces immediately stopped fleeing and turned their eyes to the sky.
The true darkness had quietly risen in the sky, drifting from afar and gradually engulfing all light. No one could see what lay within the darkness, and even perception couldn’t penetrate it, only the edge of the mystery could be felt.
The retreating Demon Race also witnessed this scene, but none knew what it was, except for He Nian, whose brows were furrowed deeply, urging a quicker retreat, shouting at the demons beside him to hurry.
In a short while, more than a million demons had retreated into the Wangchuan Mountain Range, all looking up at the darkness that continued to move towards them. Although it spread slowly, He Nian from the Immortal Sect still urged for a retreat.
The Demon Race had great trust in the Immortal Sect because it brought them new life, and thus continued to retreat further back.
A puzzled Huaikong hurried over to He Nian and asked, "Elder He, what is going on?"
He Nian replied solemnly, "It’s a usual trick of the Curved Heaven Tower: breaking through the space barriers to open the Qu Realm. The space barrier of Heaven and Earth Lake is not as strong as that of Heaven-Gazing Gorge, so whether creating a Secret Realm or a Realm, though difficult, is very simple for an Earth Unrestricted Expert. So they broke the space barrier and let the Qu Realm flagrantly appear before us. The darkness is just a means of concealment; beneath it is the Qu Realm."
He Nian paused for a moment and continued, "If it engulfs us, no matter how many there are of us, we’ll all perish within the Qu Realm."
He Nian almost added that there were no exceptions.
But recalling how Weisheng Xingyu was saved from the Qu Realm by the Sect Leader, it made an exception possible.
"What do they intend to do?"
"I don’t know."
He Nian shook his head.
In the battlefield of Heaven-Gazing Gorge, the experts of the Curved Heaven Tower are unable to casually crack open space barriers nor freely use the Qu Realm.
Thus, he seldom saw this method used in battles, only in records of battlefield skirmishes.
At this moment, Wen Ping’s voice came from above, "He Nian, command the Demon Race to retreat, exit the Wangchuan Mountain Range, then go around it to meet the Hundred Sects Alliance army. Huaikong, Shifeng, follow this Sect Leader and face the enemy!"
He Nian responded, "Yes, Sect Leader!"
He Nian immediately quickened his steps to begin commanding the demon army.
Huaikong and Shifeng hurriedly moved towards Wen Ping.
At this moment, everyone—humans and demons alike—understood that the true battle was about to begin.
"They’re here!"
Huaikong exclaimed.
At the edge of the darkness, led by Di Ting, the unnamed experts of the Curved Heaven Tower flew towards them.
"Sect Leader Wen, there are five of them!" Shifeng quickly pointed out.
Five Earth Unrestricted experts on the opposing side.
But they only have three!
This gap is quite significant.
When this scene fell into the eyes of the Hundred Sects Alliance members, each became unusually excited.
The fear in their hearts was immediately dispelled considerably, and they all shouted out loudly.
"Curved Heaven Tower will be victorious!"
"Hundred Sects Alliance will be victorious!"
The wave-like sound pierced through the clouds outside the Wangchuan Mountain Range.
In that moment, they forgot about Wen Venerable’s death.
Forgot the fall of twenty to thirty thousand people.
Even forgot the panic they felt just moments before.
In its place was a conviction, a faith in the Curved Heaven Tower.
Seeing this, Shifeng couldn’t help but curse, "What a bunch of fence-sitters, they sway with the wind like grass. Their own Golden Level Chief just died, and they’re already eager to look up to the Curved Heaven Tower as fathers."
"Ignore them, focus on the darkness above. Their intentions are unclear, so you both need to be extremely vigilant." Wen Ping reminded them.
Huaikong and Shifeng immediately looked up.
The Qu Realm to Wen Ping was not a concern.
His Spirit Body could withstand it for a while.
When it becomes unbearable, he could still take out a Flying Ship from the system space.
The Flying Ship could always freely pass through the Qu Realm.
But Huaikong and the two demons could not.
After watching the dark expansion for a while, Wen Ping couldn’t hold it anymore, "I have to see what trick you’re playing."
Wen Ping took out a magic wand.
He began chanting a spell.
