MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1405 - 380: Heading to the Eight Desolations

Listening to the explanation from the Netherworld God, Lu Hong felt somewhat numb. From the inception of the Taichu World, the army formed by the souls of all the deceased, that surely has to be counted in trillions, right?

Just considering the war between the Four Great Heavens, the number of deaths amounted to trillions, all within a short span of a hundred years. When the Star Sea erupted in full-scale war several times in the past, the number of deaths was already incalculable, this massive tide of armies is enough to completely engulf everything in the world.

Of course, dead civilians have no combat power. But the issue arises from the numerous dead souls on the Heavenly Continent, who once possessed absolute strength. Aside from others, if this group were to emerge, who could possibly handle them?

"So, has the Hanqiu Mountain Realm always been a lackey of the Taichu Evil Thought?"

The Netherworld God nodded: "Yes, the Realm Master of Hanqiu Mountain Realm, Fu Sang, is essentially a vessel for the will of Taichu Evil Thought. On the day when the Dark Continent resurfaced, Fu Sang awakened numerous sleeping dead souls within the Hanqiu Mountain Realm. All Twelve Main Gods took action, but ten of them were suppressed by Fu Sang with the Great Law, only the God of Time and God of Space managed to escape. And as you come this time, it’s estimated they haven’t evaded the pursuit of the opposition."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hong took a deep breath and spoke: "No matter what, prepare for battle!"

The Netherworld God nodded: "I have already mobilized the Nine Domains here, and we’ve communicated with the other heavens as well. Dao Yi True Realm gave up its world, choosing to relocate entirely after stabilizing in the Dark Continent. The territorial demons from the Eight Desolations Heavens also expressed willingness to participate in this war, but they chose not to enter the Four Great Heavens, intending to directly attack the native land of the Hanqiu Mountain Realm."

Upon hearing the Netherworld God’s words, Lu Hong couldn’t help but marvel. This group of territorial demons with somewhat slow wits is indeed very rash. But on second thought, it seems without issue, as the Demon Clan created by the Soul God, although physically strong, grow by devouring souls, and the dead souls are also a kind of soul embodiment. Therefore, the territorial demons’ approach is to fight whilst nourishing themselves with battle. So them attacking the Hanqiu Mountain Realm first doesn’t seem improper, knowing that the stronger souls surely lie dormant deep in the Hanqiu Mountain Realm, although if not, pretend he never said anything.

"Since the territorial demons are prepared to attack Hanqiu Mountain Realm, I will go and see then." Lu Hong was most eager to acquire more information on the Undead Heavenly Calamity.

The Netherworld God nodded: "I will organize the Nine Domains army well, entering the Dark Continent together to resist the invasion from the Hanqiu Mountain Realm. By the way, don’t you want to see Anna and the others during this century of return?"

Upon hearing, Lu Hong fell silent. Indeed, he spent too little time with his wife, but...

Lu Hong sighed softly: "You should take them to the Dark Continent first; the Titan power center in the Dark Continent is within the 13th Domain. We’ve arranged for everything over there; once you enter, someone will take you there. Bring Anna, Danni, and Lando to the Holy City in the 13th Domain. Once I gather information on the Undead Heavenly Calamity, I will return to the Holy City immediately and compensate them well."

Saying this, Lu Hong got up and left, aware that embarking on this journey to the Eight Desolations Heavens would be a long way indeed.

As he was about to leave, the Netherworld God urgently pulled Lu Hong: "Wait a moment, you need not take the cumbersome route. The God of Space has set up teleportation channels in the Three Domains; it only takes a moment to get there instantly."

Upon hearing, Lu Hong sighed in relief: "This has indeed been well done, saving the travel time. I’ll go ahead and see my wives!"

Three days later, Lu Hong utilized super long-distance teleportation developed by the God of Space, and after an hour of spatial transmission, he rolled out from the teleportation gate successfully.

Plop...

Both Liesuotus and Archimonde were in the Demon King Palace within the Holy Mountain, discussing the next strategies for the war, and amidst the gates shimmering at the side of the palace hall, Lu Hong rolled thrice and knelt before them.

"Well... Lord Lu, it’s not year-end yet, you don’t have to perform such ceremonies." Liesuotus, aware of Lu Hong’s current formidable power, amended his form of address.

Archimonde, with lightning reflexes, hurried forward to aid Lu Hong.

However, the sheer size of these two Demon Lords was still overwhelmingly gigantic to Lu Hong, even a single finger was larger than him, leaving no room for lifting assistance.

Lu Hong was also quite disheartened, wondering how he ended up rolling out from a spatial teleportation gate, which was exceptionally embarrassing. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He simply got up expressionlessly and coughed gently twice, "Ahem, long time no see. How is your current power?"

With that said, Lu Hong extended his senses, discovering these two Demon Lords, initially having the power at the God Lord Level, now possessed strength approaching that of a Main God.

"This... "

Isn’t the growth in power too rapid?

Liesuotus, still displaying his foolish demeanor, scratched his head and laughed: "Decent, so-so."

Archimonde, on the other hand, discerned a hint of surprise beneath Lu Hong’s facade and explained: "The Soul God came and infused a major portion of his Power of Soul into our bodies, allowing our strengths to advance substantially."

Upon hearing, Lu Hong couldn’t help but ruminate that the substantial efforts were made to kill the Soul God, yet it was revived effortlessly by Taichu Evil Thought, utterly unreasonable.

Had he known its revival was that straightforward, he shouldn’t have bothered besieging and killing the Soul God initially.

Understanding the reason for their power enhancement, Lu Hong cut the chatter and asked directly: "Are you planning to initiate an attack on the Hanqiu Mountain Realm now? What’s the current arrangement?"

Archimonde nodded: "Yes, this decision was suggested by the Soul God earlier. Tapping into the essence of those Undead Heavenly Calamities within the Hanqiu Mountain Realm, which fundamentally exist as souls, if we the territorial demons manage to defeat them, we can devour them, utilizing their souls to nourish us, effectively cultivating with battle. Hence, we must swiftly attack the Hanqiu Mountain Realm, preventing the awakening of immensely powerful undead from causing destructive harm to our yet-to-mature form."

"When will the expedition commence?"

"In about a month, our regional army can reach the Hanqiu Mountain Realm. Currently, the forces are organized, and the army will advance commencing tomorrow."

"A month? Can it be reached?" From Eight Desolations Heavens to Hanqiu Mountain Realm, how can an army traverse within a month? Lu Hong expressed skepticism.

"About right. Our Demon Clan nowadays no longer requires food supplies, as long as there’s sufficient Spiritual Energy converted to Demonic Qi, we can replenish losses. The Forging God crafted a Demon Soul Lamp for us, which has absorbed about eighty percent of Demonic Qi from the Eight Desolations Heavens. If we take this Demon Soul Lamp on our expedition, we can travel day and night at the fastest speed without any delay midway."

"Good, I will depart with you, heading towards the Hanqiu Mountain Realm."

Upon hearing, both nodded: "That would be great."

Afterward, they detailed to Lu Hong the plans formulated mutually among the Three Domains entirely.

The plan is simple, having territorial demons act as vanguard, piercing into the Hanqiu Mountain Realm as deeply as possible, reducing numbers of the Undead Heavenly Calamity. Encountering extremely powerful calamity troops, the demons would opt for rapid retreat from the battlefield, whereby the other Two Domains along with Titans from Dark Continent would serve as main force, performing direct confrontation against elite calamity troops. Meanwhile, Hell Demons will shift direction to continue soul devouring, enhancing strength.

This plan shouldn’t face refusal from the Dark Continent side, as the sole entity capable of massive growth from this war is the territorial demon, thus centering the Demon Clan as the core and shaping this battle around them indeed presents no issue.

Thinking back now, when Soul God crafted this race, chosen for special traits, wasn’t it possibly aimed to counteract Taichu Evil Thought?

But it obviously isn’t necessary to tangle over these matters excessively, dealing with current affairs is far more important.
