Chapter 478: Rescue

Guarding the inner city pass, in addition to numerous mortal soldiers, were five Godfiends.

"What?"

The five Godfiends standing on the pass were dumbfounded as they watched the world entrance before them suddenly expand from eight li to over twenty li in length.

"Approximately twenty-six li, a super-large pass!"

"A super-large pass!"

"This is bad!" The five Godfiends' expressions drastically changed, and almost simultaneously, they used their tokens to send out the most urgent distress signals.

The demon race valued large passes no less than humanity did. Currently, facing every large pass in the human world, there were dozens of Fourth-Heaven Demon Monarchs and several Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarch teams stationed there long-term.

Indeed.

Although large passes could only accommodate Fourth-Heaven Demon Monarchs, several Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs were still stationed there. This was because, based on experience, a 'large pass' had the potential to expand into a 'super-large pass.' Once expanded, a sudden attack would be most effective. For instance, Goosewater Pass, guarded by 'King Goosewater' at the time, was expanded and subsequently besieged by numerous Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs. Although King Goosewater killed nine Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs and dozens of Fourth-Heaven Demon Monarchs, he still lost his life. Goosewater Pass was reduced to ruins, Goosewater Lake was blasted open and connected to the East Sea, and the terrain over a thousand li was altered. Later, a larger pass, Luotang Pass, was rebuilt on the war ruins.

"A super-large pass?"

On the demon world's side, however, there was a surge of activity. Numerous demons and demon monarchs appeared, all staring intently at the entrance.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.*

The Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs responsible for guarding this area also emerged, observing the colossal world entrance that stretched for over twenty li.

The five Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs looked at each other.

"Our luck is truly good; such a great achievement has been delivered right to us."

"Fengxue Pass has over ten million humans. Killing each human earns one hundred merit points."

"A billion merit points are right before our eyes."

The five Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs exchanged glances, and while simultaneously sending out notifications, they immediately charged into the world entrance.

The expanded world entrance could not stop them at all.

"All of you, stand guard here."

The Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs charged in themselves, but instructed the other demons not to interfere.

The Godfiend guarding Fengxue Pass was Liu Qiyue.

Liu Qiyue's residence was only a little over three li from the inner city pass. Although the opening of the 'world entrance' was due to the world membrane itself splitting, the disturbance was very small. It was much smaller than the commotion caused by a full-force frontal assault to break through the 'world membrane'... even Creation Godfiends wouldn't be able to sense it from a slightly greater distance, but Liu Qiyue, after all, lived too close.

Being only a few li away, she naturally sensed the changes in the void.

*Whoosh.*

Liu Qiyue, who had been writing in her study, changed her expression. Activating the Phoenix Aerial Imperial Art, she instantly appeared atop the inner city pass.

She immediately saw the enormous world entrance, which now stretched over twenty li.

"A super-large world entrance?" Liu Qiyue's heart tightened. To her knowledge, the other five super-large world entrances in the world each exceeded twenty li in length, with the longest, located within the Black Sand Dynasty, being thirty-seven li long.

"Distress signal!"

With a thought, Liu Qiyue sent out the most urgent life-or-death distress call through her token.

No sooner had she sent the call than Liu Qiyue saw five figures instantly fly out from the gigantic world entrance. These five figures were either slender, or towering and immense, or sinister—all of them were Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs! Furthermore, the small, thin figure leading them exuded an incredibly terrifying fiery aura, far more dreadful than Liu Qiyue's own.

"Kill." The moment the five sinister figures rushed out, they immediately launched their attacks!

*Boom—*

The slender figure leading them erupted with towering crimson flames. The surging fire instantly obscured half the sky, rushing directly towards the inner city pass, and even enveloping the entire Fengxue Pass city.

Back then, for the war in the World Gap, dozens of Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs had undergone life modifications! This slender figure was one of them.

"Suppress."

Liu Qiyue stood her ground, a phoenix apparition manifesting behind her.

She attempted to control the overwhelming, anomalous flames, but as soon as she tried, she understood: even after nearly forty years at Fengxue Pass, during which her fire lineage had advanced from peak Marquis to peak King, she could not suppress these terrifying, anomalous flames.

And it wasn't just the anomalous flames.

The demon world had formed a team of five Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs, who had also long practiced combined formations. At this moment, these five demon monarchs, working with their formation, unleashed various other attacks.

"Roar—" A terrifying sound wave roared from the mouth of the burly tiger demon, fanning out towards Fengxue Pass.

"Rip."

Tendrils burrowed into the earth, rapidly penetrating towards Fengxue Pass.

All sorts of methods exploded forth instantly.

"There's no other choice."

Liu Qiyue's eyes were filled with cold determination.

*Boom!!!*

Towering flames erupted from Liu Qiyue, transforming through her 'Phoenix Feather Robe' into a thousand-zhang-tall flaming phoenix. The flaming phoenix let out a soaring cry that echoed through the nine heavens.

Liu Qiyue, a Phoenix God-body expert at the peak King stage, activated Phoenix Nirvana, and her strength rapidly soared to an astonishing level.

The World Gap.

At the edge of the fragmented world, Meng Chuan sat cross-legged, with blood blades flying around him, practicing their moves.

King Anhai, exuding endless coldness, was also nearby. He too watched the scene of world creation, cultivating diligently.

"Hm?"

The token in Meng Chuan's possession registered three consecutive calls in the blink of an eye.

"Not good." Meng Chuan suddenly opened his eyes. Silver mystic runes appeared on both sides of his face, and streaks of silver lightning emerged around his body.

Three calls signified the most urgent distress signal!

He had to rush there with all his might and at the fastest possible speed.

*Whoosh.*

Standing on his Bloodblade Disk, he instantly tore through the void and vanished.

"It seems something major has happened." King Anhai turned to glance, then continued to cultivate silently. His task was singular: to patrol the World Gap.

*Boom!!!*

Meng Chuan, standing on his Bloodblade Disk and employing his divine power 'Quicksand,' moved with terrifying speed.

In the time it took for two blinks, he had already reached the connection point over five thousand li away!

*Boom.* Six streams of Bloodblade light had already been unleashed, converging simultaneously to strike the connection point.

The World Gap membrane, the human world membrane... these two layers of world membrane were simultaneously breached, creating a massive hole.

Meng Chuan instantly rushed through, returning to the human world.

Though it sounds slow, in reality, only a single breath of time passed from receiving the distress call to arriving in the 'human world.'

*Whoosh.*

Meng Chuan appeared in the mountains beside 'Anchao City,' in the central heartland of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As the heartland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this location was not too far from any other point within the Great Zhou.

The World Gap and the human world... separated by worlds, one could only barely sense the other, unable to determine precise locations.

"What? Fengxue Pass?" The moment Meng Chuan arrived in the human world, his token finally received the distress call's detailed location, and Meng Chuan's expression instantly changed.

*Boom.*

A streak of lightning-like light, moving at its absolute maximum speed, headed towards Fengxue Pass, located almost at the northernmost point of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
