CHAPTER 1118: CHAPTER 881: ALL FORCES GATHER

As the news of Li Yi’s cross-dimensional operations against the Demon God Realm spread within the Golden Academy, coupled with the series of personnel and weapon mobilizations on Earth, everyone sensed the imminent taste of a great battle.

Even the cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent were aware of some situations here.

Although their experts had withdrawn from Earth, they couldn’t possibly take everyone back to the Xuanxian Continent. Some were left behind to blend in with Earth’s inhabitants; these cultivators disguised themselves as evolvers, waiting for opportunities to gather intelligence on Earth.

Not only that, as the Demon God Realm had invaded Earth before, they had made similar arrangements as well.

As enemies, how could they possibly allow Earth’s evolvers to continue developing? Naturally, they had means to gather intelligence about Earth.

However, regarding Earth’s revenge on the Demon God Realm, the Xuanxian Continent remained silent, showing no reaction.

A year ago, in the great battle, they lost too many top cultivators, including several True Immortals, which extinguished their ambitions of occupying Earth. Now, upon discovering that Earth’s evolvers planned to confront the Demon God Realm, they couldn’t be happier watching as bystanders, hoping for mutual destruction.

The silence from Xuanxian was anticipated by Earth’s higher-ups.

The cultivators of this world were notorious for being both cowardly and cunning. At this critical juncture, how could they step in to help the Demon God Realm and oppose Earth’s evolvers again?

Even though they understood the principle of "cold lips and teeth," who could guarantee the final outcome of this cross-dimensional war?

After all, the Demon God Realm was incredibly powerful, with a long history and profound foundations. Perhaps the ones facing a tragic defeat would be Earth’s evolvers.

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Xuanxian Continent was content to sit and watch.

And Earth’s higher-ups were constantly monitoring the movements of these hostile worlds, whether it be Xuanxian Continent, the Dark World, or several other worlds connected to Earth, all within their observation scope.

After all, once cross-dimensional warfare commences, they had to consider the possibility of other forces getting involved.

The next day at the Golden Academy.

A fleet of science fiction-style battleships emerged from the cross-dimensional gateway. Besides the main battleships, there were many AI-controlled unmanned fighters, transport ships, and so on.

Together, these battleships numbered at least several hundred, like a massive army about to initiate an interstellar war.

"Star Destroyers from the Sixth World, good heavens, have the Earth’s higher-ups lost their minds? Dispatching twenty at once, if one shot can sink a continent, then twenty could destroy a world."

At the Golden Academy, many students looked up at this fleet in shock, but among them, an evolver named Sikong Yao instantly recognized the models of these battleships.

And only after recognizing them did he understand just how crazy Earth’s higher-ups really were.

However, not waiting for everyone to be shocked by this fleet.

Suddenly.

Five astonishing auras, along with five Thunderbolt Fighters, rapidly flew toward Golden Academy. Some evolvers, skilled in observing people and perceiving aura, saw the five torrents of fortune rising to the sky like five dragons, roaring toward them.

These five dragons of fortune represented five directions and gathered together, akin to the power of a great nation pressing down, an invisible force almost suffocating.

"The military’s experts trained in the Qi Fortune Technique have arrived." An evolver who had served in the military suddenly became excited.

"Each of them surpasses a Demon King. In the past year, Earth’s higher-ups indeed accomplished a lot. No wonder when Li Yi proposed cross-dimensional warfare, they didn’t oppose it so intensely. They had been secretly preparing for the battle all along." Someone thought with alarm.

As the five Thunderbolt Fighters hovered over the Golden Academy.

The hatches opened, and five men with firm faces, short hair, and tall, sturdy figures leaped down from high in the air.

They landed lightly, standing tall with ease. Their movements were clean and efficient, and though they spoke not a word, they exuded a sense of lethal intent, intimidating onlookers.

Among the five, the figures of Li Chengjun and Li Weiguo were distinctly present.

The other three, though unfamiliar, exuded an aura sufficient to prove that they were top experts forged through countless battles. If not for Li Yi’s insistence on this cross-dimensional war, they wouldn’t have been urgently deployed here.

However, aside from these five top military experts, shortly after, dozens of transport ships flew in from the distant sky, each carrying well-trained masters.

Evidently, these individuals were also dispatched by Earth’s higher-ups.

"These higher-ups really know how to hide. From which world did they train these experts? Why was there no prior news of them?" Someone was both shocked and curious.

"The higher-ups have mastered many cross-dimensional coordinates. If not for the lack of time, how could they have allowed the enemy to invade their homeland initially? Having passed through the most challenging times, experts on Earth will continue to appear, and in the future, it will be the enemies who will fear." The evolver who had served seriously remarked.

Others, hearing this, nodded in deep acknowledgment.

Whether before or after the Sky Tipping event, those who controlled the most resources and secrets were always the higher-ups.

As everyone continued to watch.

Suddenly.

Streams of light came from the south, the entire sky reflecting five-colored radiance, as dozens of cultivation experts arrived together at this moment.

"Those are experts from Tianchang City’s Tao Court, reinforcements Li Yi invited from another world. They are all Tri-Floral Realm powerhouses, a realm corresponding from the Mahayana stage to immortals, and I hear those in Three Flowers Perfection can kill True Immortals," said an evolver named Li Shaqing calmly.

He also hails from Tianchang City and had worked with Li Yi before, therefore he knows quite a bit about Tianchang City’s situation.

"I know them. When the Earth Defense Line fought a year ago, they helped us repel strong foes, slaying one Great Demon after another," said an evolver who once joined the Earth Defense Line.

At this moment, Yun Feizi arrived with all the cultivation experts. Upon receiving Li Yi’s Immortal Crane Communication, she immediately began gathering everyone, and once assembled, they naturally hurried to the Golden Academy to converge.

"It seems Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi have not arrived yet." Yun Feizi sensed the auras but did not find the figures of her fellow disciples, then her gaze turned to an Immortal Dao Battleship not far away.

For some reason, she sensed other cultivators’ presence, and very powerful ones at that.

Now within the Immortal Dao Battleship.

The cultivation experts in the Great Perfection Realm were also noticing the situation outside.

"Oh, they are disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect." Yuqing Taoist was a bit surprised: "I didn’t expect Taiyi Heavenly Venerate to rescue so many cultivators and bring them to this world."

"This is good news. Red Girl mentioned that Taiyi Heavenly Venerate set up a Tao Court on Earth, with the intention of rebuilding the Taoist lineage, which is excellent." Xuan Zhen Taoist beside him stroked his beard and smiled.

In a foreign place, meeting fellow Taoist Realm friends is naturally a joyful event.

Moreover, this also proves that Taiyi Heavenly Venerate is not one who burns bridges after crossing them. It seems those who follow him are doing quite well. Everyone is equipped with top Dao Artifacts, and their cultivation and strength have significantly progressed.

"Should we go out too and get acquainted with the experts of this world," someone suggested.

"Let’s be patient, we are newcomers and need to understand the situation more. Besides, having just escaped from the End of Dharma world, it’s best to rest these days, nurturing our Three Flowers, especially since we are about to contend with the Demon God Realm."

"That makes sense."

However, while people were discussing within the Immortal Dao Battleship.

Suddenly.

In another direction of the Golden Academy, a portal seemingly leading across worlds abruptly opened. Following that, a terrifying surge of Qi-Blood mixed with astonishing bursts of Martial Arts Will soared into the sky of Earth, stirring the winds and clouds of heaven and earth.

"It’s the Martial Artists from the Martial Saint Continent, led by Wu Tianji, Li Shengquan, and Jiang Daoxue, along with other Martial Saint auras...a total of seven!"

"Another four Martial Saints have come? Ji Wu, he has become a Martial Saint too, did I see it wrong? Back when I fought alongside him on the Earth Defense Line, he could barely handle Great Demons."

"It seems that within a year, Ji Wu broke through to Martial Saint after retreating. Now Ji Wu should be the youngest Martial Saint on the Martial Saint Continent," the evolver who once stayed on the Earth Defense Line exclaimed in amazement.

Currently, Wu Tianji squints his eyes, stroking his black long beard on his chest. He surveys the surroundings: "Quite a number of experts here, it’s been so many years since I’ve seen such a grand spectacle."

"Haha, truly a wondrous world indeed, with powerhouses from different worlds gathering to battle across dimensions. Wu Tianji, you old scoundrel, you’re so stingy, bringing me here only now, you deserve to die," a towering bald Martial Saint laughed, his voice resonating through the void, shaking people to their core.

"As one of the Martial Saints of the Martial Saint Continent, naturally I think for all martial artists. Previously, with countless formidable foes arriving together, Ji Wu nearly perished in battle. Had I exposed the existence of the Martial Saint Continent earlier, would you still be alive till now?" Wu Tianji said plainly. His reluctance to cross worlds earlier did stem from personal motives.

If Earth had lost, he planned to recall his disciple Ji Wu, never to cross worlds.

The seven Martial Saints, bringing a hundred experts from the Martial Saint Continent, now crossed worlds. Their Qi-Blood surges like dragons, each one battle-hardened, their prowess on par with a Great Demon.

And their arrival here is not just to assist in the cross-world combat on Earth, but also to seek the path ahead, study other methods, and find opportunities to grow stronger.

"The number of experts increases." Everyone realized that Earth had already gathered every available force for this great battle.

Whether it’s hidden strength or external reinforcements, all for the sake of winning this cross-world battle.

It was thought that these forces already reached the maximum limit.

Yet after a moment, a phoenix cry resonated from the distant heavens and earth. A massive Green Phoenix was seen, sweeping the sea of clouds, spreading its wings, with two beautiful women in golden armor adorned in a dazzling light.

Behind these two women were two Divine Wood Immortal Path Battleships.

The two battleships shone like two small suns, emitting a brilliant, hot light that made it hard to look directly at before they even approached.

"New reinforcements..." everyone thought secretly, but then their eyes were fixed on one splendid golden ship.

Within, there was a presence of ancient and powerful auras, as if several astounding beings were aboard this specially crafted battleship.
