Chapter 209: The Six Alliance Disbands

“What! Even you are withdrawing from our Six Alliance!”

The other four were all greatly shocked.

The only female Martial God among the four looked at Erdan, frowning as she said, “Now that Heavenly Source is at a critical juncture of survival, could it be that even you, Erdan…”

“My name is fucking Xiao Chunwei!”

Boom!

Xiao Chunwei’s aura surged abruptly, pressing down on the defensive formation until it teetered on the verge of collapse. His strength was unfathomable.

He looked at the woman.

“Xuan Rou, the things you’ve been doing behind the scenes… are too dirty.”

“I…” The female Martial God called Xuan Rou was taken aback, her expression shifting uncertainly.

Her face was covered with a black cloth, and black patterns coiled around her forehead. Despite her enchanting figure, she gave off an extremely eerie aura.

“Chun… Chunwei, everything I’ve done is for Tianyuan Star. I hope you can understand.”

“If we can develop the Demon Seed, our Heavenly Source will no longer fear the Demon Lord in the future. We will soar through the skies and become the gods who hold the Heaven’s Mandate. In this way, the people will benefit. What wrong have I, Xuan Rou, committed?”

“Hah, but the current situation is that the Sky Demon has been revived, and after thousands of years of your efforts, you still haven’t developed the Demon Seed. Instead, you’ve caused so many people to die on this misguided path!”

Xiao Chunwei stood with righteous indignation, his majestic Qi shaking the land for thousands of miles.

The others wore unpleasant expressions, but Xuan Rou argued her case forcefully.

Her eyes were filled with lofty aspirations, seemingly without pretense: “We do not act only when success is guaranteed; we act so that success may be achieved.”

“Isn’t it praiseworthy for the deaths of a few to bring prosperity to the entire race? Isn’t the path we pursue precisely this Supreme Way?”

“The birth of a Demon Lord often results in casualties numbering in the hundreds of millions. In the past, the great powers of Heavenly Source who fought against the Demon Lord either died or departed. As long as our experiments succeed, we will possess the power to resist demons. Should we wait until the day a Demon Lord is born to start preparing?”

The woman’s speech was impassioned, and her gaze toward Xiao Chunwei was resolute.

“But the Sky Demon has already been born! Doesn’t this prove that you were wrong?”

“Hah, what a joke. The Sky Demon was revived because the leader of the Heaven Demon Sect secretly preserved the Sky Demon’s not-yet-completely-destroyed body. What does that have to do with our plans?” Another Martial God stepped forward, facing Erdan directly, his words sharp and his tone resolute.

“If you hadn’t shielded the Heaven Demon Sect, it would have been annihilated by my Justice Alliance long ago! And the Sky Demon would not have been revived!”

Erdan’s white hair danced wildly as he glared furiously, faintly exuding a Supreme pressure.

“How could we have detected that the Sky Demon was not dead?”

“Brother Erdan, do you know that the Sky Demon is born in accordance with Heaven yet acts in defiance of it? Such an existence severs heavenly secrets and lies beyond the Five Elements. Even if we reach the level of Martial Gods, we cannot sense its Dao presence.”

“Since we had no prior knowledge, how can you place all the blame for the Sky Demon’s revival on us?”

The speaker’s words were eloquent, skillfully shifting responsibility away from themselves.

“Forget it. Those who walk different paths cannot work together.”

Erdan’s figure also vanished from the great hall.

“Alas.” Chi Heng, the Martial God with an aged appearance, sighed and waved his hand. “Disperse, let’s all disperse. We’ll discuss the matter of the Sky Demon further in due time.”

The great hall fell completely silent, with no one else present.

After dawn broke, the Hall of Heroes no longer existed in the world.

Thus, the strongest force on Tianyuan Star—the Six Alliance—could be considered existing in name only.

The various major factions could not even be bothered to maintain superficial unity, each beginning to govern independently.

…

Jiang Yan spent the entire day battling the Life and Death Demon Skeleton in the instance and finally achieved some results.

[System Log Updated]

“You have engaged in 18 consecutive hours of extremely high-intensity combat, triggering Heaven Rewards Diligence. You have obtained the Orange Trait:

[True Word Leveling Method]”

True Word Leveling Method: When you use a Martial Skill or special Talent, shouting its name aloud will resonate with the Martial Skill or special Talent, granting a random enhancement.

Enhancement Range: 0–100%

When Jiang Yan first saw this Trait, he was a bit confused.

“Shouting its name for an enhancement?”

Now Jiang Yan finally understood why those playing cards or mahjong would shout while making their moves.

Case solved—it turns out everyone has the [True Word Leveling Method] Trait.

Walking along the road, Jiang Yan suddenly shouted toward a tree.

“Yan Thunder Destruction Slash!”

Boom!

Enhancement: 50%.

The tree trunk turned to ashes.

Jiang Yan silently praised its usefulness, though the effect was somewhat random.

[System Log Updated]

“[True Word Leveling Method] can be triggered by shouting in your mind.”

Jiang Yan: …

Ahem, you could have said that earlier. Guess I was just clearing my throat.

“Hey, have you heard? The Six Alliance has disbanded!”

“What? The Six Alliance disbanded? Then isn’t Tianyuan Star finished?”

“Alas, with the Sky Demon emerging, who can contend? We should hurry and emigrate.”

Martial Artists happened to fly by the roadside, and Jiang Yan caught a few words of their conversation.

He took out his phone and checked, indeed seeing similar news.

The exact truth was unknown, but the fact that such major news about the planet hadn’t been suppressed for so long indicated that the authorities had tacitly accepted it.

They didn’t even bother to gloss over the situation, almost as if they had given up.

Jiang Yan hadn’t experienced the invasion of Tianyuan Star by the Demon Lords, so he couldn’t grasp the true strength of a fully realized Demon Lord.

Even the Sky Demon in the Battle Space was only at the Seventh Rank, infinitely weaker than the Tenth Rank Sky Demon on Tianyuan Star.

To be safe, Jiang Yan entered the Battle Space again.

He killed all the other demons, leaving only one Sky Demon to fight.

As long as the Sky Demon remained alive, the skeletons in the rear wouldn’t revive.

And the Life and Death Demon Skeleton wouldn’t appear to interfere with him.

Abandoning the [Law of the Jungle] lock, Jiang Yan found that the Sky Demon’s methods were relatively comprehensive.

This “comprehensiveness” was only in comparison to other demons.

Rather, this demon’s attack methods were simple and primitive, with purely high stats in all aspects.

But it seemed capable of blocking Spiritual Power perception. Without the Law of the Jungle lock, it was truly difficult to track its movements.

“No wonder the Sky Demon hasn’t been discovered by those Martial Gods yet. So that’s how it is.”

A Tenth Rank Sky Demon—if it wanted to hide, probably no one could find it.

Jiang Yan tested the Sky Demon’s other abilities.

It was hard to kill unless done instantly, which Jiang Yan could now achieve.

Whether by exploiting the Instant Kill Law or relying on the burst power of his two battle shadows.

“The Tenth Rank Sky Demon’s invincibility on Tianyuan likely isn’t due to these abilities alone.”

Jiang Yan fought the Sky Demon a while longer, feeling he had gained nothing useful, and was about to leave the Battle Space.

Then he saw the Sky Demon, which had been lying on the ground, suddenly convulse, and the unknown Runes etched on its body noticeably brightened.

Jiang Yan’s eyes narrowed.

He had previously thought the Runes on the Sky Demon were merely decorative, but it seemed they had another purpose.

Jiang Yan rubbed his fists with ill intent.

“Hehehe, little Tian Tian, let me see what other abilities you have that I don’t know about…”

…
