“You do not know of the Demon-Buster Army?”
Di Ming blinked, slightly confused. However, thinking that Jiang Yi had actually not ascended that long ago and things had happened one after another to him while he had also been focused on cultivating, this made sense to Di Ming. He sent a voice transmission and explained to Jiang Yi what the Demon-Buster Army was. Jiang Yi finally understood.
The Demon-Buster Army was not a part of the Earth Emanations Army; it also did not belong to any domain or any faction. It was a special army that all the domains in the Earth Domain had jointly created. As its name suggested, this army’s existence was to exterminate the Netherworld Race beings hiding in the Earth Domain.
This world was split into the Heaven Domain, Earth Domain, and Mortal Domain. It was easy to ascend from a lower domain to a higher one; as long as one’s strength was sufficient, one could ascend to the Earth Domain. Demon-Killing Battle God-equivalent martial artists in the Earth Domain could then qualify to ascend to the Heaven Domain.
Of course... one could also choose not to ascend. After all, an exorbitant price had to be paid if one wanted to return to a lower domain. Furthermore, the Heaven Domain was a very dangerous place; it was at least ten thousand times more dangerous than the Earth Domain; one could easily die there.
It was more difficult for someone to head to a lower domain from a higher one; this was the natural heaven and earth nomology. After all, formidable martial artists from the Higher Domain would destroy the balance in the Lower Domain. Hence, if the Netherworld Race army did not fully occupy the Heaven Domain, it was hard for them to attack the Earth Domain.
However, the Netherworld Race was very clear that the Lower Domains were where the Higher Domain formidable martial artists were nurtured in. If they did not gain control of the Earth Domain and Mortal Domain, an unlimited supply of formidable martial artists could continuously enter the Heaven Domain and join in the battle against the Netherworld Realm.
Hence, the past thousand years, the Netherworld Race had continuously sent armies to the Lower Domains to try and wrestle control of the Mortal Domain and Earth Domain; they wanted to cut off the human formidable martial artists at the source. As long as there wasn’t a steady supply of formidable martial artists heading to reinforce the Heaven Domain, the sole domain in the Heaven Domain left under human jurisdiction would be eliminated before long, and the entire world would be ruled by the Netherworld Realm.
A pity!
It was extremely hard to head to a Lower Domain; a huge price had to be paid every time. Hence, the Netherworld Realm could only send a portion of its soldiers over at a time.
At the start, the Netherworld Realm had openly teleported their forces over. However, these forces were easily killed by the alliance army of the Earth Domain; however many came, the same number died. Subsequently, the Netherworld Realm grew smart and started to furtively infiltrate villages, secretly gain control of some domains, and slowly take over the Earth Domain.
The Netherworld Realm had also gone to the Mortal Domain and had taken control over many smaller domains. If it wasn’t for Jiang Yi, the Stellarsky Domain would probably have also fallen under the Netherworld Realm’s control, becoming a slaughterhouse where countless would periodically die and be transformed into fodder for the Netherworld Realm armies in the Netherworld Realm.
The Demon-Buster Army!
It was created to exterminate the Netherworld Race beings in the Earth Domain. This army did not belong to any faction, person, or authority. Three commanders-in-chief led the Demon-Buster Army; they were all King-Ranked formidable martial artists. The Demon-Buster Army’s only mission was to kill the Netherworld Race beings. It did not have a base in any domain, but it was stationed in the Demon-Buster Army camp within the spatial zone. The amount of battle merits that could be won in the Demon-Buster Army was many times that of that in the Earth Domain. Of course... the level of danger was also many times higher.
The minimum requirement to join the Demon-Buster Army was being God King-equivalent; Jiang Yi just barely fulfilled this requirement. Di Ming also mentioned that if Jiang Yi was really interested in joining the Demon-Buster Army, he could write a recommendation for Jiang Yi to head there and immediately become a junior captain.
“Their base is not in the Earth Emanations Domain? It is within the Demon-Buster Army camp in the spatial zone?”
Jiang Yi heard this information and started to hesitate slightly. He wasn’t that afraid of dealing with the Netherworld Realm armies; he was only afraid that someone from the human race might plot against him. He had offended many clans since coming here. Furthermore, for someone so young like him to stand out during the Ten Thousand Domain Tournament; people were bound to be jealous of him. While the Demon-Buster Army did not belong to any faction, many factions probably all had their men embedded within it. If he wasn’t within the Earth Emanations Domain, it would be very easy for others to set a trap and kill him.
The Netherworld King Ming Di also hated him; Ming Di might even send a message to the Netherworld Race beings hiding in the Earth Domain to do their best to kill him.
Most importantly—people from the Stellarsky Domain were about to ascend anytime now. Mo Lingqiu had sent some divine roots over and had also erected nomological Divine Monuments to aid in people’s cultivation. Based on Yi Chan, Su Ruoxue, Yin Ruobing, and company’s gifts and talents; it would not be hard for them to ascend. If Jiang Yi went to the Demon-Buster Army, who knew when he could return? Jiang Xiaonu would also insist on following along; it was going to be dangerous.
“Let’s talk about this when we get back. I’ll consider this.”
Jiang Yi sent a voice transmission to Di Ming as the latter nodded. He had already explained what the Demon-Buster Army was to Jiang Yi; it was up to Jiang Yi himself to decide what he wanted to do. Di Ming stopped talking and continued to bring Jiang Yi along.
The group killed many Netherworld Race beings along the way. After a few hours, they finally reached the Black River City.
All the Netherworld Race beings in the Black River City had been killed. The Teleportation Formation in the city was being repaired. Once it was done, reinforcements could be teleported here continuously; this was the front line after all. Jiang Xiaonu did not move around at all within the city. Upon seeing Jiang Yi and company returning, she and Di Ling’er immediately flew over.
“Hurry up and repair the Teleportation Formation so that we can gather more troops!”
Once Mo Lingqiu spoke, the black-gold command token in his hand lit up as he gave the order. The Earth Emanations Sovereign had tasked him to organize this demon-cleansing operation; he had to get a hang of the situation as soon as possible.
“Young Master!”
Jiang Xiaonu rushed forward and held onto Jiang Yi’s hand anxiously, asking, “Are you alright? You had me worried sick.”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi touched Jiang Xiaonu’s head affectionately. Di Ling’er looked on with a complicated look in her eyes as she smiled slightly and said nothing; she just stood there quietly.
On the other side, Mo Lingqiu had gathered a few commanders in charge of gathering intelligence and had gotten a read on the situation. Things had stabilized already. Besides yet another city in the Black Snow Prefecture falling to the Netherworld Army, all the other cities had managed to withstand the invasion. All the formidable martial artists in the entire Earth Emanations Domain had gathered to assist; it was impossible for the Netherworld Army to break through any city in a short amount of time.
“Jiang Yi!”
Mo Lingqiu thought for a while as he started to give his orders. “Once the Teleportation Formation is fixed, bring some men and teleport to the Flood Lake City to the northeast. There are more Netherworld Realm forces there. After you have exterminated them, move on to this city...”
Mo Lingqiu pointed out a few cities to Jiang Yi that were in the direst straits. Jiang Xiaonu and Di Ling’er both looked slightly perplexed at Jiang Yi; why did he have to be the one to lead the soldiers? So many formidable martial artists were present; why didn’t Di Ming or Jiutian Wu lead them? Why was Jiang Yi chosen?
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi answered immediately as he smiled bitterly. If he did not lead the way, none of the formidable martial artists with him could command any soldiers. The Earth Emanations Sovereign had ordered all of them to protect him; if he didn’t go, those formidable martial artists could not operate independently at all.
Furthermore, his Xiaozhuan characters were the natural bane of the Netherworld Race. If he was present, the losses on the human race’s side could be lessened. He also had a strong sense of duty to kill the Netherworld Race beings and protect the human race!
A-dozen-odd divine craftsmen were swiftly repairing the Teleportation Formation as Jiang Yi and company say down to relax first. The Teleportation Formation was extremely efficient; if they decided to fly, it would definitely take a longer time.
The Teleportation Formation had actually not been that badly damaged. In one hours time, the Teleportation Formation shone with light again and had been successfully repaired. After the divine craftsmen came to report this good news, Jiang Yi looked at Di Ming, Jiutian Wu, and the others as he said, “Everyone, let’s go!”
Buzz!
They had not made it out when suddenly, a huge light shone from the Teleportation Formation. When they had walked to the City Lord Manor’s main gate, the light in the Teleportation Formation was just nice diminishing as three figures materialized. Once they appeared, the trio’s aura emanated and actually enveloped the entire city!
“King-Ranked!”
Di Ming and company glanced over as they were stunned. Mo Lingqiu and others were locked onto that tall, green figure as their faces changed again. Mo Lingqiu could feel the murderous aura coming from this man as Mo Lingqiu flew forward swiftly and shouted, “Green Eagle King, please do not be rash; we can talk things amicably!”
Swish!
One of that green figure’s hands flicked, and Mo Lingqiu was sent flying like a gunny sack and crashed into the city wall behind Jiang Yi and company, creating a huge hole. Di Ming and company’s eyes narrowed as they all stood in front of Jiang Yi to shield him as if facing a formidable opponent. A few of them yelled at the same time, “Green Eagle King, please do not be angry!”
“Get lost!”
That tall, green figure walked forward swiftly as a powerful aura pressed forward, making Jiang Yi feel as if he was about to suffocate. His icy-cold voice resounded in the entire city, “Whoever dares to block my way today will die without exception! Jiang Yi... you have to die!”
