Chapter 167: High Fighting Spirit, Sharpening the Blades
At the thought that they might be like the Xue Di and Du Busi of the past, relying on the merits of this battle to obtain the grace of the Plane Master and break through the God-level barrier in one fell swoop, the breathing of Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui couldn't help but quicken slightly. Their eyes flashed with brilliant light, and there was no longer any worry about the invasion of a foreign plane, only uncontrollable excitement and fighting spirit remained.
Ye Xishui had the most decisive and ruthless personality. She was the first to be unable to hold back, taking a sudden step forward. Around her, a faint, flickering phantom of the grey-black death god demon puppet appeared and vanished. With a voice carrying a trace of irrepressible excitement and killing intent, she bowed to Lei Chen and said:
"Plane Master, please witness! For another blind plane to dare covet our world and commit such an act of invasion is truly seeking its own destruction! I, Ye Xishui, am untalented, but I am willing to serve you with all my might. I will surely lead the members of my Holy Spirit Cult to completely annihilate the incoming enemies of that Demon Plane and uphold the prestige of our world!"
Her words were forceful and resonant. Not only did she state her attitude, but she also subtly tied the Holy Spirit Cult to the war machine, intending to take the lead in this battle and seize the greatest merit.
Seeing Ye Xishui take the lead in expressing her stance, Mu En and Long Xiaoyao naturally refused to be left behind.
Dark aura surged around Long Xiaoyao. Although it wasn't as overt as Ye Xishui's, the sharpness and desire in his eyes were not diminished in the slightest. He chimed in with a deep voice, "I, Long, am also willing to go! Protecting the plane and slaying demons is my unshakable duty!" His words were concise, yet they carried a resolution that brooked no doubt.
As the leader of Shrek Academy, Mu En considered things more thoroughly. He first gave a respectful salute to Lei Chen and then spoke slowly, his voice calm yet carrying an unquestionable power:
"Plane Master, since the Demon Plane dares to invade, we should naturally rise up and resist. I, Mu En, am willing to devote the full power of Shrek Academy to fight side by side with my fellow cultivators. We will certainly not let any otherworldly demons trample upon even an inch of our world's territory!"
His words expressed both fighting spirit and emphasized unity, while also highlighting the foundation and responsibility of Shrek Academy.
The three demi-gods expressed their stances one after another with high fighting spirit, instantly infecting all the Titled Douluos and Super Douluos present.
"Well said! Kill them!"
"They dare to invade us? We must make sure they never return!"
"Plane Master, please give the order! We are willing to be the vanguard!"
"..."
The crowd was impassioned, and roars of anger rose and fell. The previous shock had long since been replaced by the raging fires of war.
For these powerhouses standing at the peak of the continent, the upcoming plane war, while a threat, was also a massive opportunity!
If they could establish merit in this battle, they might gain the favor of the Plane Master, receive unimaginable rewards, and even glimpse a chance at becoming a god!
Lei Chen looked calmly at this group of powerhouses who had instantly transformed from cultivators into a legion of tigers and wolves. Seeing the undisguised desire and fighting spirit in their eyes, a barely perceptible arc curled at the corner of his mouth. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
He nodded slightly, his voice spreading clearly throughout the entire valley:
"Good! Since you all have such hearts and high morale, that is for the best. The creatures of that Demon Plane will be left entirely to you to handle. This battle will be a test of the results of your hard cultivation over the years, as well as a great opportunity for you to perform meritorious service for the plane."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone, especially the three demi-gods, as he continued the introduction, "As for the specific situation of the Demon Plane, you need not worry too much. According to my investigation, the strength of this plane is far inferior to the previous Abyss Plane."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention became highly concentrated. Especially Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui, whose eyes were burning, afraid to miss a single word.
Lei Chen continued, "Within the Demon Plane, there are no God-level powerhouses, and not even any creatures at the demi-god level."
"What? No God-level? No demi-gods either?" Ye Xishui couldn't help but cry out softly, an amazing light instantly erupting in her beautiful eyes. Mu En and Long Xiaoyao also shook slightly, uncontrollable looks of joy appearing on their faces.
Lei Chen nodded affirmatively and gave more detailed information: "Yes. The strongest among them are merely five existences equivalent to the Limit Douluo level. As for those at the Super Douluo level, there are slightly more, about fifty or so. Below that, the ordinary Titled Douluos, Soul Douluos, Soul Saints, and weaker ones are too numerous to count."
"Five Limit Douluos... fifty-odd Super Douluos..." Long Xiaoyao muttered, repeating the numbers, the corners of his mouth already curling up uncontrollably.
Mu En took a deep breath, trying hard to calm his surging emotions, but the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Ye Xishui laughed without any concealment, her smile filled with confidence and killing intent: "A mere five Limit Douluos and fifty-odd Super Douluos... Hehe, Plane Master, rest assured. In this battle, we will surely sweep through them like a thunderbolt, ensuring that not even a chicken or dog remains on that Demon Plane!"
After listening to Lei Chen's introduction, the eyes of everyone present suddenly became frighteningly bright, as if they were seeing not fierce invaders, but piles of moving merits and treasures. Especially the three demi-gods, whose breathing became even more rapid, their chests rising and falling slightly.
The other side had no God-level powerhouses and no demi-gods? Then wouldn't the three of them, who had already forged divine bodies and undergone a qualitative change in their life level, be able to... go on a killing spree?!
An unprecedentedly powerful confidence, mixed with infinite yearning for merit and the future, surged in the hearts of every powerhouse like a volcanic eruption. Above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, fighting spirit pierced the sky!
Lei Chen took in everyone's nearly tangible fighting spirit and nodded inwardly. He raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet. The entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fell silent in an instant, leaving only the faint sound of the spiritual spring gushing and the many burning, expectant gazes.
"I know you are eager for battle and understand what is in your hearts." Lei Chen's voice was calm yet extremely penetrating, clearly reaching everyone's ears. "With the combat power displayed by that Demon Plane, to me, it is but a minor ailment. Even if I were to randomly assign one God-level subordinate right now, it would be enough to crush and completely sweep away and annihilate them."
His gaze, like a deep pool, swept over the people below, especially the three demi-gods whose breathing suddenly stalled.
"But, I have not made such an arrangement." Lei Chen's tone changed, carrying a deeper meaning. "This war, this easily obtainable merit, I have specifically left for you."
He paused briefly and finally said in a deep voice, "I hope you... do not fail this opportunity. Let me see exactly how many resources you can seize for this world from that Demon Plane, and what kind of brilliant future you can fight for yourselves!"
