    ## Chapter 380: Dark Clouds Press Down! Spatial Mysteries

    “East Demon, how do you know that Sand Crane is my direct disciple?” The eyes of the Qiongjin Divine Being flickered with a light.

    He was shocked.

    In the public information of the Wanmo Civilization, their three Divine Beings had never taken direct disciples. After all, the requirements for Divine Beings to take disciples were quite high. Ordinary semi-god peak powerhouses could not catch their eyes.

    Secondly, they also had to follow the same cultivation path.

    Sand Crane, the semi-god, was once a well-known semi-god in the current Wanmo Civilization, second only to Night Dimming. In terms of strength, he could be considered a semi-god peak powerhouse.

    Because he had a grudge against the East Demon Divine Being, Qiongjin Divine Being, although he took him as a disciple, he had never leaked this news.

    Not long ago, Sand Crane, the semi-god, was able to break through. His comprehension of the laws finally reached the level of seven-stage perfection, making Qiongjin Divine Being extremely happy. He believed that these were all secrets, unknown to anyone.

    Unexpectedly, the East Demon Divine Being knew everything clearly. How could he not be shocked?

    “Qiongjin,” the East Demon Divine Being said indifferently, “I am the leader of the civilization. If I want to know something, it’s hard to hide anything within the civilization.”

    “Hmph! You’re just bragging.” Qiongjin Divine Being sneered, “Night Dimming, the semi-god, was controlled by a soul. How come you didn’t notice it all this time?”

    The East Demon Divine Being was speechless.

    This touched his sore spot. Night Dimming, the semi-god, being controlled, did make him, who had always been proud, feel embarrassed.

    “Stop arguing.”

    “Since we have decided to go to war with the Seven Star Civilization, we should work together. Why are you arguing at this time?” North Moon Divine Being said, “Qiongjin, has Sand Crane, the semi-god, truly broken through?”

    “Yes, he has been wandering through the many perilous places in the starry sky, seeking opportunities. He broke through not long ago,” Qiongjin Divine Being nodded, “But he has been cultivating for more than three hundred years, and he still has a higher pursuit in his heart, so he didn’t rush to break through to become a Void God.”

    “Amazing.” North Moon Divine Being, after receiving confirmation from the other party, said excitedly, “His comprehension of the laws has reached the level of a Void God, his strength will surely increase significantly, exceeding the limits of a semi-god, almost reaching the level of a Void God.”

    Semi-god peak is the limit that a semi-god powerhouse can normally reach.

    But whether it’s the Seven Star Meridian or the Void God level comprehension of the laws, they are all beyond this limit.

    “It’s not that he’s invincible as a semi-god. It’s just that his comprehension of the laws has broken through. His Star Meridian isn’t very strong, just a six-star meridian,” Qiongjin Divine Being said.

    “Enough, his strength can easily stop a hundred semi-gods,” North Moon Divine Being smiled, “With him leading, plus dozens of semi-god peak powerhouses and hundreds of ordinary semi-gods… we can surely capture the Flying Star of the Seven Star Civilization in one fell swoop.”

    Obviously, North Moon Divine Being hoped that Sand Crane, the semi-god, would participate in the war.

    “I can’t force him, I have to ask his opinion,” Qiongjin Divine Being said, “Secondly, even if he’s willing to join the war, he’s still in the starry sky outside the plane… it will take half a month to come back.”

    Qiongjin Divine Being was dissatisfied with the East Demon Divine Being, but he was still very polite to North Moon Divine Being.

    Flying through the gaps in the starry sky, even though there are many stargates or wormholes that can help with the journey, it still takes a lot of time to travel.

    “Half a month? That’s too long.” The East Demon Divine Being frowned.

    In war, speed is key. According to his idea, it’s best to gather a large number of semi-gods within a few days and end the war in one fell swoop.

    “It’s not slow.”

    “East Demon, many semi-gods within the civilization are wandering outside. Just gathering them will take a lot of time,” North Moon Divine Being said, “Moreover, do you intend to kill them all?”

    “What do you mean?” The East Demon Divine Being was stunned.

    “As you said, this could be a trap set by Eastern Extreme,” North Moon Divine Being said, “Then, we can probe it one or two times… firstly, to see if it’s a trap.”

    “Secondly, probe the defensive measures of the Seven Star Civilization, then we can target them.”

    “Our number of semi-gods far exceeds that of the Seven Star Civilization. We can afford to lose. Even if three for one, we can exhaust all the semi-gods of the Seven Star Civilization.”

    “Finally, when Sand Crane, the semi-god, comes back, we will launch the final battle,” North Moon Divine Being said, “It’s best to kill Fang Hai and Li Yuan in one fell swoop. They are the biggest threats to the Seven Star Civilization.”

    “If Eastern Extreme dies, and we kill the two of them, then the Wanmo Civilization will have a chance to occupy the Seven Star Civilization forever… if we can’t kill the two of them, then we can only take some benefits.”

    “Okay.” The East Demon Divine Being nodded, thinking that North Moon Divine Being’s words made sense.

    The war should be taken seriously.

    From then on, the three Divine Beings of the Wanmo Civilization set three goals for the war, from low to high.

    First, to confirm whether Eastern Extreme is dead through the war.

    Second, if they fail to kill Li Yuan and Fang Hai, then try to occupy the Flying Star and send a large number of Heavenly Flight Warriors and semi-gods into the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain unscathed to gain benefits.

    Third, kill Fang Hai and Li Yuan, and completely occupy the Seven Star Civilization.

    After the three Divine Beings finished discussing the details.

    “I’ll go and persuade Sand Crane, the semi-god. He should be willing to come back,” Qiongjin Divine Being said.

    Actually, most of the ordinary realm is what is called the ‘gaps in the starry sky.’

    It’s just that these areas are mostly harsh environments, and the planets in the gaps in the starry sky are mostly dead planets, which are even harder to breed life… usually, one has to reach the semi-god level to have the ability to travel and wander through the gaps in the starry sky.

    Within the dimensional plane, because of the existence of the plane source, space is stable. Semi-gods want to travel to different planets, and it will take a long time.

    But in the areas of the gaps in the starry sky, there are often spatial cracks, and stargates and wormholes that can cross the starry sky are even more numerous.

    This makes it more convenient for semi-gods to travel through the starry sky.

    Similarly, it’s also more dangerous.

    In a starry sky quite far from the Wanmo Civilization, there is an extremely large ice planet.

    Millions of miles from the planet, on a huge rock revolving around the planet, the celestial body is covered with ravines.

    A dark canyon.

    Huff!

    Huff! An invisible ripple, with a certain regularity, is constantly vibrating outwards from the canyon, with a faint yellowish light faintly visible in the depths of the canyon.

    In this light, a black armor figure about five meters tall, whose entire body seems to be made of metal, is sitting cross-legged.

    Suddenly.

    “Hmm?” The black armored figure opened his eyes and waved his hand, a stream of light instantly flew out and formed a giant screen in front of him.

    A mysterious figure appeared on the screen.

    “Sand Crane.” Qiongjin Divine Being looked at his direct disciple through the screen.

    “Teacher.” Sand Crane, the semi-god, respectfully said.

    “Did you tell anyone about your breakthrough?” Qiongjin Divine Being said in a low voice, “Also, besides us, who else knows about our teacher-disciple relationship?”

    “Leaked?” Sand Crane, the semi-god, was stunned, “Teacher, few people know. Only those few life-and-death brothers know about my breakthrough… They should not leak it out.”

    “Then how did the East Demon Divine Being know?” Qiongjin Divine Being shook his head.

    Sand Crane, the semi-god, was slightly startled.

    “Forget it, that’s not the point. We’ll talk about it later,” Qiongjin Divine Being changed the subject, “I contacted you because of something else.”

    Quickly.

    Qiongjin Divine Being told the other party about the results of the discussion among the three Divine Beings.

    “Eastern Extreme is dead?” Sand Crane, the semi-god, held his breath, a little disbelieving, “How is it possible?”

    He couldn’t believe it.

    Eastern Extreme, in his heart, is an unparalleled figure comparable to a Divine Being… Even though his comprehension of the laws has reached the Void God level, he never thought of fighting Eastern Extreme.

    They are not on the same level.

    “It’s highly probable,” Qiongjin Divine Being said, “Whether you’re willing to participate in the war, you decide… You awakened a six-star meridian in the Heavenly Flight Realm. If you cultivate step by step, your chances of awakening a seven-star meridian before igniting your divine fire are very slim.”

    Sand Crane, the semi-god, nodded slightly. He didn’t want to break through immediately because he wanted to further improve his Star Meridian.

    However, it’s too difficult.

    Even though his comprehension of the laws has broken through, he couldn’t see hope.

    “But if you can enter the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, then there is hope,” Qiongjin Divine Being said in a low voice, “You are my disciple, but I won’t force you. You choose your own path of cultivation.”

    “If you participate in the war, there is a risk of death.”

    “Therefore, you decide.”

    Sand Crane, the semi-god, his eyes flickered, he pondered for a long time.

    “Teacher, I’m willing to take a gamble,” Sand Crane, the semi-god, said in a low voice, “Once I become a god, my foundation will be set. Even if I can’t awaken a seven-star meridian, even if I can only awaken a nine-layer Star Meridian, it’s worth it.”

    “If I can awaken a nine-layer Star Meridian and cultivate the auxiliary nine-layer Star Techniques, my chances of becoming a True God will increase.”

    “Good.” Qiongjin Divine Being said, “Then hurry back to the civilization.”

    Not long after.

    Sand Crane, the semi-god, turned into a stream of light and quickly left this starry sky.

    “The territory of the Wanmo Civilization, all planets, activate full alert.” The Wanmo Civilization quickly issued an order.

    Although they are the attacking side, the Wanmo Civilization, besides the Seven Star Civilization, also has other enemies, so they also have to be vigilant.

    “Gather the semi-gods.”

    “All semi-gods, immediately go to the designated planet through the ‘Star Boundary Channel.’ Don’t leak the secret, or you will die.”

    “Receive divine artifacts.”

    “Prepare the source energy array.”

    “Don’t ask why, just obey the orders.” Orders were issued one after another, and the entire Wanmo Civilization, like a huge war machine, began to rotate from top to bottom.

    The Seven Star Civilization’s internal migration preparations, the mobilization of a large number of Heavenly Flight Warriors.

    The Wanmo Civilization’s war preparations… The various actions of the two civilizations, although they were not public, and they were all trying to hide the news.

    However, the scale of mobilization was too large, and it was impossible to keep all the news secret.

    Especially some forces that are very concerned about the two civilizations.

    The Immortal Ruins Civilization, the Nine Cloud Immortal Sect.

    This is one of the oldest sects of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, and also the first sect of the Immortal Ruins Civilization today.

    Above the mountains of the sect’s holy land, there are layers of strange cloud vortexes. The diameter of the vortex exceeds a thousand kilometers. You can faintly see many floating palaces in the cloud vortexes. This is the Nine Cloud Realm.

    In a magnificent hall in the Nine Cloud Realm.

    “Interesting.”

    “The Seven Star Civilization has begun its comprehensive migration plan? It seems that they sense that the entire civilization will be engulfed in war.” Yan Lin, the Void God, wearing a black robe, looked at the two pieces of intelligence in his hand.

    “The Wanmo Civilization is also mobilizing its army, gathering a large number of semi-gods?”

    “Could it be that the Wanmo Civilization is going to invade the Seven Star Civilization again?” Yan Lin, the Void God, quickly came to a conclusion, “And the Seven Star Civilization thinks they might not be able to stop it?”

    “How is that possible!”

    Yan Lin, the Void God, shook his head, “According to the meaning of the Chi Yan Patriarch, even a Void God at the early stage might not be Eastern Extreme’s opponent… No matter how many semi-gods the Wanmo Civilization has, they won’t be Eastern Extreme’s opponent.”

    “If Eastern Extreme breaks through, even if he can’t be as strong as me, I’m afraid he’ll be very close.” Yan Lin, the Void God, guessed.

    He has been cultivating for more than two thousand years and is already at the Void God peak level.

    How long has Eastern Extreme been cultivating?

    The difference in major realms, such as semi-god and Void God, is hard to make up for with numbers.

    “Even using our Immortal Ruins Civilization’s strongest battle array, ‘Void Dry Source Array’, which allows hundreds of semi-gods to combine into one, it only brings the power level to the Void God level… It’s still difficult to defeat Eastern Extreme.” Yan Lin, the Void God, shook his head.

    He knows Eastern Extreme very well.

    Many semi-gods of the Immortal Ruins Civilization have been in contact with Eastern Extreme in the gaps in the starry sky.

    Without exception, those who dared to provoke him all died.

    “I understand the truth. Wanmo and Eastern Extreme have fought for so long, they couldn’t possibly not understand it,” Yan Lin, the Void God, thought, “But there are still signs of a war breaking out… It can only mean one thing.”

    “Eastern Extreme is not on the Flying Star!!”

    “Did Eastern Extreme fall? Or is Eastern Extreme trapped somewhere and unable to return to the Seven Star Civilization?” Yan Lin, the Void God, thought, and then a thought came to his mind, “Or, is Eastern Extreme making a move?”

    With such a long distance, information is limited, Yan Lin, the Void God, can only guess, and he can’t confirm which possibility is higher.

    “Send an order.”

    “Keep a close eye on the war between the Wanmo Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization.” Yan Lin, the Void God, sent a message.

    “Yes!”

    The Immortal Ruins Civilization is not the only one paying attention to the Wanmo Civilization and the Seven Star Civilization.

    “Is the Wanmo Civilization really going to war again? Did they get some news?”

    Within the Tianliang Civilization, a large group of semi-gods led by ‘Jin Liang, the semi-god’, also quickly received the news.

    They have a close relationship with the Wanmo Civilization.

    “Don’t worry.”

    “Keep an eye on it.”

    “The Wanmo Civilization hasn’t called on us to participate in the war yet.” Jin Liang, the semi-god, said, “We can’t be cannon fodder. How many semi-gods does our entire civilization have? We can’t afford to lose.”

    “Pay attention.”

    “If there is a chance, we will actively apply to the Wanmo Civilization to participate in the war.” Jin Liang, the semi-god, said.

    “Yes!”

    “Let the Wanmo Civilization go first. We’ll see the situation. Order the second-level Star Boundary and third-level Star Boundary bordering the Seven Star Civilization not to take any provocative actions in the near future.”

    Within the Seven Star Civilization, Black Dragon Star.

    In a cloud-shrouded void, there is a rock tower standing, unlike modern architecture, it is full of ancient charm.

    This stone tower, over three hundred meters tall, is like a stone mountain, the holy land of Black Dragon Star.

    “Yan Ming, the semi-god.” Li Yuan said, “Have you chosen any of these divine artifacts?”

    In front of Li Yuan, a small temple was suspended, but inside the temple was a different world, with divine artifacts emitting powerful auras suspended in the air.

    This is the artifact room.

    After leaving Blue Star for more than a day, Li Yuan first went to the Flying Star and took away the Star Techniques World, Artifact Room, and the Wan Shen Inheritance Cave.

    Then, he went to try and subdue those semi-god peak alien races that were being suppressed… all failed.

    This was within Li Yuan’s expectations.

    Without time to be discouraged, Li Yuan immediately went to Tian Hai Star, and after recognizing the ownership of another ten semi-god peak puppets, he put them away.

    Finally, he began to go to each planet and let the semi-gods who stayed behind choose two divine artifacts.

    In the past, ordinary semi-gods within the Seven Star Civilization, because of insufficient wealth and treasures, many did not have divine artifacts.

    This war is coming, and for many semi-gods, it’s also an opportunity.

    “Vice Alliance Leader, I’ll take these two divine artifacts.” The man in fiery red robes standing not far away said.

    Huff! Huff! Li Yuan moved his mind, and two divine artifacts turned into streams of light and flew out, landing in front of Yan Ming, the semi-god.

    “Thank you, Vice Alliance Leader.” Yan Ming, the semi-god, bowed slightly.

    “If you want to thank, thank Alliance Leader Eastern Extreme,” Li Yuan sighed, “These are all left behind by Alliance Leader Eastern Extreme.”

    Only after truly taking over the artifact room, the Wan Shen Inheritance Cave, etc., did Li Yuan know what kind of foundation Eastern Extreme left behind for the Seven Star Civilization.

    “Yan Ming, the semi-god.”

    “You are the strongest among the semi-gods guarding Black Dragon Star.” Li Yuan said in a low voice, “Besides the two divine artifacts, I’ll leave you a batch of Heavenly Flight Puppets to command, to help you guard Black Dragon Star.”

    Huff!

    Li Yuan waved his hand, and hundreds of figures instantly appeared in the void.

    “Four hundred Heavenly Flight Puppets?” Yan Ming, the semi-god, was surprised.

    “These puppets, each of them is at the Heavenly Flight peak level,” Li Yuan said, “They will obey your orders… Black Dragon Star is yours.”

    He received 3,000 Heavenly Flight Puppets in total.

    Li Yuan left 800 Heavenly Flight Puppets on Blue Star and Tian Hai Star, which are the two most important planets besides the Flying Star.

    The other four planets, each of them has been allocated 300-400 Heavenly Flight Puppets.

    “Understood, Yan Ming will not disappoint you.” Yan Ming, the semi-god, said solemnly.

    “Hmm.” Li Yuan nodded slightly.

    The semi-gods guarding the major planets… are all a batch of semi-gods who, after repeated consideration by Fang Hai and Old Cloud, have a very low probability of being spies.

    For example, the seven semi-gods on Blue Star are the two semi-gods who stayed behind from Xia Nation.

    Therefore, Li Yuan dared to entrust them with the divine artifacts and so many Heavenly Flight Puppets.

    Whoosh!

    Li Yuan flew into the sky, a huge cyan light quickly rushed out from the clouds, carrying Li Yuan far away.

    “What an amazing speed. That should be the flying snake spirit beast under Li Yuan’s command,” Yan Ming, the semi-god, sighed, “I hope the Flying Star can hold on.”

    In the void, Liu Bing was taking Li Yuan to Lan Tie Star.

    Suddenly.

    “Li Yuan, we received information from our secret agents. The Wanmo Civilization has confirmed the news of Teacher’s death and is gathering semi-gods on a large scale, preparing for the invasion,” Fang Hai directly sent a message to Li Yuan.

    “It’s leaked?” Li Yuan sighed in his heart.

    Although he knew that there was a high probability of facing war, when the war really came, Li Yuan couldn’t help but feel a little tight in his heart.

    The Wanmo Civilization’s semi-gods outnumbered theirs by more than ten times.

    “According to our information, the mobilization scale of the Wanmo Civilization’s Heavenly Flight Warriors is not very large,” Fang Hai continued to send a message, “I guess they will gather their semi-gods and attack the Flying Star directly.”

    “I’ve already asked Mu Ji, the semi-god, and the others to wait at the Star Boundary entrance. After I deliver the divine artifacts, I’ll immediately rush back to the Flying Star,” Li Yuan sent a message.

    In terms of direct combat power, Li Yuan is not very strong at the moment. After all, he hasn’t been cultivating for long, and he’s only at the Heavenly Flight Realm. He’s one level behind in terms of foundation.

    But in this kind of group battle.

    Li Yuan’s soul attacks are the strongest among the semi-gods of the Seven Star Civilization. Even Lan Te, the semi-god, and Fang Hai are not as good as him.

    “Gun Technique.”

    “The fusion of two laws, why is it so difficult.” Li Yuan seemed to be flying on a journey, but in fact, most of his energy was devoted to deducing the mysteries of the two laws.

    Time passed, and another half day passed.

    On the Flying Star, besides the six third-level Star Boundaries, each of which has a semi-god at the early stage, and a large number of Heavenly Flight Warriors to assist in the defense.

    The rest of the semi-gods on the Flying Star have all gathered at the entrance to the Mo Shan Star Boundary.

    Huff!

    A cyan stream of light streaked across the sky and landed on a towering mountain peak.

    “It’s Vice Alliance Leader Li Yuan.”

    “Li Yuan.” The large group of semi-gods guarding this area, all sensed something, and looked at the black figure on the mountain peak in the distance.

    Huff!

    A stream of light streaked across and quickly came to Li Yuan’s side.

    “Principal.” Li Yuan looked at the person who came.

    “Is everything done?” Fang Hai asked.

    “Yes, all the semi-gods on each planet have chosen their divine artifacts,” Li Yuan nodded solemnly.

    Although the semi-gods have only been using the divine artifacts for a short time, it’s difficult to fully exert the power of the divine artifacts, but their overall strength has been greatly enhanced.

    “Good.” Fang Hai’s eyes were full of relief.

    “Principal, is that the entrance to the Mo Shan Star Boundary?” Li Yuan looked into the distance.

    You can see a dark channel with a diameter of nearly a hundred kilometers on this vast wasteland. It’s unfathomably deep, as if torn from space, and it’s not on the same spatial level as the surrounding land.

    In the depths of the channel, there is a colorful glow, which looks very mysterious.

    And around this channel, there are hundreds of towering mountain peaks, standing side by side.

    “Yes.” Fang Hai nodded, “The Mo Shan Star Boundary is extremely large, with a diameter of more than ten thousand kilometers, and it also contains many dangers. Since the Flying Star battle more than a hundred years ago, neither we nor the Wanmo Civilization have had any semi-gods stationed in the Mo Shan Star Boundary… We have all been guarding the entrance to the Star Boundary.”

    Li Yuan listened. This information is not a secret.

    However, this is Li Yuan’s first time here.

    “The source energy array set up by Teacher covers a radius of three hundred kilometers. The core of the array is controlled by Lan Te, the semi-god. His soul cultivation is the strongest, and his realm is also very high,” Fang Hai said, “Once the Wanmo Civilization dares to invade, it will be activated immediately.”

    “It’s hard for the Wanmo Civilization’s semi-gods to rush out of this area without breaking through the array,” Fang Hai said solemnly.

    “I can sense it.” Li Yuan could sense that in this seemingly calm wasteland, there is an extremely terrifying power lurking, a power that seems to come from the vast world.

    This is the source energy array.

    The array that Li Yuan encountered on Lan Tie Star is clearly far inferior to this array.

    “This is the array token.” Fang Hai turned his palm, and two tokens appeared in his palm, “Refine them, and you can mobilize some of the power of the array. You can activate the source energy body, or you can use the power of the array to strengthen yourself… Anyway, you must protect yourself.”

    “I only have one order for you.”

    “Live! Survive.” Fang Hai stared at Li Yuan, “You and your spirit beast are the biggest reliance of our Seven Star Civilization now… As long as you don’t die, then even if the Flying Star falls, our Seven Star Civilization will have a chance to fight back.”

    “Yes.” Li Yuan nodded.

    Then, Fang Hai left, and Li Yuan gave one of the tokens to Liu Bing.

    The two of them quietly waited here.

    “The power of the array is really strong.” After refining the token, Li Yuan’s perception of the array became even clearer, “What we lack is the number of semi-gods.”

    Currently, there are 28 semi-god-level powerhouses stationed at the entrance to the Mo Shan Star Boundary, plus Li Yuan and Liu Bing.

    Even if you add the 40 semi-god peak puppets lurking in the dark.

    The number is too small.

    “If we wait for another month or two, we’ll have more than ten semi-gods.” Li Yuan sighed.

    Unfortunately, the Wanmo Civilization obviously wouldn’t give them that time.

    Huff!

    Li Yuan gently closed his eyes, and strands of law fluctuations rose around his body. The mysteries of the laws intertwined, even forming sword shadows. He’s still constantly deducing the Gun Technique.

    The war is approaching, and Li Yuan can only do his best to make himself stronger.

    Time passed minute by minute.

    “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” Around Li Yuan, countless sharp lights were born out of thin air, with power far exceeding before.

    Almost at the same time.

    On Li Yuan’s Divine Palace panel, a prompt appeared silently: “【Step into the threshold of Spatial Mystery, comprehension of Spatial Mystery reaches 1%】”
