The second level of the Demon Suppression Abyss, the lights were brightly lit in the Division Headquarters.The square-faced Major General placed the document in his hand down heavily, his brows furrowed with an unyielding solemnity: "The demonic rift outbreaks are becoming more and more frequent. Chief of Staff Zhuge said that the spatial aisle will open in half a month at most, or ten days at the earliest."The adjutant's face was ashen, like a piece of iron. The opening of the spatial aisle meant that hundreds of millions, or even billions, of demons from the third level of the Demon Suppression Abyss would surge into the Qingmu Star Region like a tide.Even though there were three large fleets stationed outside the Demon Suppression Abyss and many high-stage Spiritual Energy Users guarding it, blocking these demons would inevitably involve a bloody slaughter, and countless warriors would be buried there."Has there been any news from Chief of Staff Zhuge? Have they calculated the location of the spatial aisle?" The Major General looked up at the adjutant.The adjutant shook his head: "Not yet, they said it still needs some time."The Major General's brow furrowed into a knot: "I'm just afraid time won't wait for us—"The Zhuge family's Heavenly Mystery Art was renowned, and outside the Demon Suppression Abyss, it wasn't difficult to glimpse fragments of the future.But inside this Demon Suppression Abyss, demonic energy surged, and the heavenly secrets were in a tangled mess. The strength of Spiritual Energy Users was also reduced, so even if an elder from the Zhuge family came in person, they would have to pay a considerable price to barely deduce the direction of the spatial aisle.However, now there was only half a month at most until the aisle opened. If they couldn't deploy troops and make targeted arrangements in advance, once the demon army passed through the aisle unimpeded and rushed into the Empire's territory, the difficulty of sealing the spatial aisle would increase by more than several times.The adjutant sighed. Based on past experience, the Zhuge family could at most calculate two locations before the aisle opened.The second and third levels of the Demon Suppression Abyss were fine; the areas weren't vast, so even if they rushed over at the last minute, there was a chance to block them.But the first level of the Demon Suppression Abyss was too large, and the various battle groups were scattered in different corners. Even if they knew the location on the same day, it would be too late to dispatch battle groups, and who knew how many demons would be released."Forget it, let the commanders worry about such headaches." The Major General waved his hand, then changed the subject, "Recently, have there been any outstanding performers among the battle groups below?""There really is one." The adjutant's eyes lit up, "Do you still remember the Crimson Gold Battle Group?""The Crimson Gold Battle Group? Of course, I remember, the only battle group with an acting commander." The Major General recalled."It's them." The adjutant's tone carried a hint of admiration, "Two days ago, the Crimson Gold Battle Group's battlefield recording stone was sent back to Division Headquarters. After verification, the number of demons they hunted and their accumulated military merits actually ranked first in our Division Headquarters, almost double that of the second-place team.""Oh?" The Major General's face showed deep surprise.He remembered that the Crimson Gold Battle Group had experienced a major upheaval before, with its former commander, Yan Song, dying in battle. The current acting commander, Qin Tian, was only a Five-Stage Psionicist. To be honest, he hadn't held much hope for this battle group—it lacked top-tier combat power, with only one six-stage Spiritual Energy User besides Qin Tian; its overall numbers were also small, not even half that of some other battle groups.For such an unfavored team to actually reach the top of the military merit list was truly beyond his expectations.The adjutant added: "The calculation results show that their military merits are even higher than the Green Feather Battle Group in the neighboring war zone.""What? That's impossible!" The Major General's eyes suddenly widened.The commander of the Green Feather Battle Group was Dongfang Yu, a direct descendant of the Sacred Blood Family, leading elite soldiers and strong generals, including four direct descendants of the Golden Family. Their numbers reached thirty thousand, almost ten times that of the Crimson Gold Battle Group.With such a vast disparity in strength, it was hard for anyone to believe that the Crimson Gold Battle Group's military merits could surpass the Green Feather Battle Group's."At first, I didn't believe it either, but the fact is it's true." The adjutant explained, "The main reason is that the Crimson Gold Battle Group destroyed a total of seven demonic rifts, while the Green Feather Battle Group only destroyed three, which made a significant difference. Moreover, Qin Tian himself possesses the power of spatial teleportation and has particularly keen senses, always accurately locating Demon Caves and leading the battle group in surprise attacks. Their efficiency is much higher than the Green Feather Battle Group's.""Spatial teleportation—no wonder." The Major General suddenly understood.With this ability, coupled with keen senses, it was not surprising for the battle group's kill efficiency to increase severalfold.Looking at it this way, this young man Qin Tian was practically tailor-made for this kind of battlefield."Oh, right, the Crimson Gold Battle Group also submitted a battle report." The adjutant suddenly remembered something, pulled a document from a folder, flipped through it, and said, "Qin Tian said that the demonic energy fluctuations in the Infernal Demon Sea have been abnormal recently, and the demons are more agitated than usual. He wants Division Headquarters to send someone to investigate whether a demonic tide is approaching.""Abnormal demonic energy fluctuations? Have other battle groups reported similar findings?" The Major General pressed."No, only the Crimson Gold Battle Group." The adjutant shook his head.The Major General's brows furrowed again. The signs before a demonic tide were always obvious; it was impossible for only one group to notice it.However, Qin Tian was a person with keen senses, so his report should not be groundless.What exactly was going on?The Major General pondered for a moment, then a glint of light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "You said, is it possible that the spatial aisle will open in the Infernal Demon Sea?"The adjutant's eyes widened sharply: "Sir, do you mean Qin Tian detected signs of the spatial aisle opening in advance?""Exactly, I think that's a possibility." The Major General's tone carried a hint of excitement, "Qin Tian can perform spatial teleportation, so his perception of spatial fluctuations must be keener than ordinary people. The demonic energy fluctuations he mentioned might not be caused by a demonic tide, but rather the effects on the surrounding environment before the spatial aisle opens."The adjutant thought carefully and nodded repeatedly: "That's really possible!""Alright, tell Chief of Staff Zhuge this news, and have them calculate whether the opening location of the spatial aisle is in the Infernal Demon Sea." The Major General instructed.If there were no clues, several members of the Zhuge family would have to work together to calculate one or two out of thousands of possible locations, which would be time-consuming and laborious, and they might not even get a result before the decisive battle.But if given a specific location, they would only need to calculate "yes" or "no," and they could quickly provide an answer."Okay, I'll go right away!" The adjutant said, then quickly ran out of the tent.One hour, two hours, three hours—Just as the Major General was about to lose hope, the adjutant suddenly burst in, pulling back the curtain, his face filled with uncontrollable joy: "The results are in! It's the Infernal Demon Sea!"It really was!A surge of wild joy instantly welled up in the Major General's heart.Each time the first level of the Demon Suppression Abyss opened, there were three spatial aisles. Now that one was locked down, there would be enough time to deduce the remaining two.This time, they might even be able to deduce the locations of all three aisles.In that case, the forces of the ten major war zones could be deployed in advance, making full preparations to block the spatial aisles.One move, the whole game comes alive.This battle report from the Crimson Gold Battle Group was truly timely and invaluable!Crimson Gold Battle Group “First-Class Merit for Individuals?”Qin Tian looked at the contents of the announcement, his eyes showing surprise and delight.He hadn't expected his intelligence to be so valuable, directly earning him a First-Class Merit from the military.With this First-Class Merit, his rank of Senior Colonel was already as stable as a mountain, and it would also accumulate a solid qualification for him to strive for Major General."Boss, the spatial aisle will open within the Infernal Demon Sea."Li Qi asked: "What do we need to do in advance next?"Qin Tian smiled faintly: "We've already done enough. The rest will be left to the other battle groups; we must give others a chance to perform and earn merits."According to the Division Headquarters' announcement, in the next few days, all battle groups /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ from the Second, Fourth, and Sixth War Zones would successively arrive at the Infernal Demon Sea to clear out all Demon Caves, demonic rifts, and Demon Sources in the area.The goal was to eliminate over ninety percent of the demons in the Infernal Demon Sea before the spatial aisle opened.This way, after the spatial aisle opened, the military could block the aisle without pressure, and even if demons from other demon realms sensed the spatial aisle opening, they wouldn't be able to reach the scene before it was sealed."Understood." Li Qi nodded, then smiled, "Then we can completely relax now.""Yes, just waiting for the war to end, then going home for a holiday."A smile appeared on Qin Tian's face. Although his strength had grown by leaps and bounds during his days in the Demon Suppression Abyss, gaining numerous talents and successfully awakening the Sacred Bloodline, the long, almost non-stop battles inevitably left him physically and mentally exhausted.He now longed for the fighting to end soon. After returning, he would take a good rest for a period of time, and then prepare to break through to the six-stage.On that day, dozens of battle groups arrived at the Infernal Demon Sea, followed by hundreds of battle groups arriving on the second and third days.This time, the demons in the Infernal Demon Sea were in for a rough time.Millions of Spiritual Energy Users, like bulldozers, mercilessly crushed all Demon Caves within the Infernal Demon Sea. Even the most troublesome Demon Sources were successfully destroyed by the combined efforts of the battle groups.By a week later, it was almost impossible to see any demons in the Infernal Demon Sea.At this point, all the battle groups were quietly waiting.On the morning of the twelfth day, a strange ripple suddenly appeared in the sky above the Infernal Demon Sea.Initially, it was just an extremely subtle fluctuation, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, sending out invisible ripples.The warriors, who were ready for battle, only felt the light in front of them slightly distort, and a faint, almost inaudible hum reached their ears, as if something was tearing through space."It's here!" Qin Tian suddenly looked up, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.He could clearly feel that the familiar spatial fluctuation was expanding at an astonishing speed, more intensely than any he had sensed before.In just a few breaths, the ripples in the sky suddenly expanded, and the previously faint, almost invisible ripples became clearly visible, like a transparent spiderweb being constantly stretched.The air began to tremble violently, loose stones on the ground inexplicably floated, and the lava erupting from the volcano briefly paused. "Boom!"A deafening roar echoed throughout the Infernal Demon Sea, and the space in the center of the sky suddenly collapsed, forming a pitch-black tiny dot.That tiny dot expanded at a visible rate, its edges constantly flickering with purplish-black electric arcs, making sizzling sounds.As the black dot expanded, the surrounding space began to twist and rotate, forming a gigantic vortex.The vortex's diameter rapidly grew from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, then thousands of meters, as if a colossal beast dormant in the void had opened its gaping maw.The interior was pitch black and bottomless, with occasional sporadic flashes of light—those were rock fragments, sucked in, burning from high-speed friction.When the vortex's diameter reached tens of thousands of meters, its expansion speed gradually slowed down.At this point, the spatial aisle was fully formed, like a giant black hole suspended above the Infernal Demon Sea, surrounded by layers of spatial folds, constantly devouring the surrounding light and energy.The moment the aisle formed, the entire Infernal Demon Sea was plunged into an unprecedented violent tremor. The ground cracked, volcanoes erupted even more fiercely, and scalding lava, like fiery dragons, shot into the sky, only to be instantly swallowed when approaching the aisle.The already dense demonic energy now boiled and churned like boiling water, forming columns of black gas that frantically surged towards the spatial aisle, as if to be completely sucked away by it.The warriors standing on the ground felt the earth beneath their feet shaking wildly, as if it could collapse at any moment. They had no choice but to circulate their spiritual energy to stabilize themselves, looking up at the magnificent yet terrifying spatial aisle, their eyes filled with shock and vigilance."Is this—the spatial aisle?" Li Qi murmured to himself, his voice containing a subtle tremor. Such a vast and bizarre sight far exceeded his imagination.How could such a giant spatial aisle be sealed?Qin Tian looked up at the sky-obscuring spatial vortex, sighing inwardly. If not for hundreds of battle groups gathering and clearing out the demons in the Infernal Demon Sea beforehand, the scattered forces originally stationed there probably wouldn't even have been able to withstand the first wave of impact."Begin."A clear, gentle voice rang out. The speaker was a young man in green, with handsome features but calm eyes, watching the sealing team, who were ready for battle, in front of him.At this moment, the gaze of millions of warriors was focused on these forty people, and even the air seemed to solidify."Yes!"The sealing team responded in unison, their forty figures standing tall like pines. They were all six-stage powerhouses, having undergone countless rigorous training and life-and-death assessments, and were the most crucial link in blocking the spatial aisle.In the team, the resolute man at the forefront took out an ancient scroll and slowly unrolled it. As soon as the scroll was unfurled, it floated in the air, its surface shimmering with faint golden runes, subtly exuding a pressure that suppressed space. The forty people quickly divided into four groups, each arranged in a pyramid formation: the leader at the very front, followed by two, then three, then four people, in successive layers.Everyone held their breath, even their breathing softened—even though there were no longer any demons in the Infernal Demon Sea, this sealing ritual, which would determine the lives of millions, still made the watching soldiers' palms sweat."Rise!"With a low shout from the resolute man, brilliant spiritual energy light burst forth simultaneously from within the bodies of all forty people. The four people in the last row were the first to activate their spiritual power; four streams of pure white energy, like living springs, precisely poured into the bodies of the three people in front of them. Immediately after, these three people, stacking this power, compressed and condensed it, then passed it forward to the two people in the row ahead. After receiving it, these two further purified and amplified the energy, channeling it into the leader at the very front.The air hummed with a subtle buzz the moment the energy was transferred.The four leaders simultaneously raised their hands, merging the converged power.In an instant, four beams of light violently collided, transforming into a golden torrent over a zhang in diameter, coiling upwards like a dragon, and finally pouring into the floating scroll.The runes on the scroll were instantly activated, like a sleeping giant dragon awakening. Golden patterns rapidly spread along a fixed trajectory, dyeing the entire scroll in a dazzling golden glow.The four leaders simultaneously placed their hands on the four corners of the scroll, slowly injecting the surging spiritual energy within their bodies. Each push made the light of the runes grow a little brighter."Hum—"The scroll began to tremble violently, and countless golden runes peeled off its surface, transforming into specks of flowing light that flew towards the spatial vortex.Initially, they were sparse points of light, but as spiritual energy continued to be injected, the flowing light became denser and denser, eventually forming a golden light screen, like a giant shield, slowly pressing towards the pitch-black vortex.The sealing began!
