Chapter 1320: 1320 **Chapter 1320: Formulating a Plan, Heaven’s Net** 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦 Through his communication with the Stone Demon, Lin Moryu realized that there might be ninth-level Divine King demons in the middle layer. If there were only ninth-level Divine Kings and not too many of them, it would be manageable. But if a Minor Divine Sovereign were present, things would become tricky. It’s not that ninth-level Divine Kings can’t enter the deep layer; the key issue is that they can’t. There are too few keys, and each time only two or three can enter. Over hundreds of years, only a few dozen have managed to enter. The demon race is a powerful race, and being a powerful race means not only having super strong individuals but also a large population. In the Stone Demon faction alone, it’s not surprising to have dozens or even hundreds of ninth-level Divine Kings. The Stone Demon’s muffled voice sounded, "There are three ninth-level Divine King demons." "Are there any Minor Divine Sovereigns?" "No Minor Divine Sovereigns." Lin Moryu breathed a sigh of relief. The number wasn’t large, only "five, seven, three" three, and there were no Minor Divine Sovereigns. He estimated his combat power and, with the element of surprise, a bloodbath at the demon stronghold shouldn’t be a problem. A plan gradually formed in his mind: first, clear out the demons in the middle layer and take their accumulated crystal cores. If that’s not enough, he would hunt the middle layer monsters to obtain more crystal cores. He aimed to collect enough crystal cores in the shortest time possible to summon a leader-level monster. Then, he would use the Elemental Lich to kill the leader-level monster and obtain the key. The leader-level monsters in the middle layer are at the eighth level of the Divine King realm, while the Elemental Lich is at the ninth level. Being just one level higher would only reduce the drop rate, not prevent the key from dropping. He only needed one key, so this restriction wasn’t a problem. He was confident in the Elemental Lich’s combat power; killing the leader-level monster shouldn’t be an issue. If that didn’t work, he could do it himself. After simulating the plan and finding no issues, Lin Moryu began to act. He had the resurrected Stone Demon lead the way towards the demon stronghold. Outside the Yellow Earth Desert, in the nameless void, a teleportation array suddenly lit up. This teleportation array was on the other side of the Yellow Earth Desert, hidden in the void and surrounded by a special barrier, making it hard to detect. Zhu Qiwu hadn’t thoroughly investigated it before, but now the activation of the teleportation array immediately caught his attention. "A demon’s teleportation array." He instantly recognized it as a demon’s teleportation array. When the teleportation array activated, a massive barrier appeared first. This barrier could withstand attacks from a Divine Sovereign. Even an ordinary Divine Sovereign would have to put in some effort to break it. Of course, in Zhu Qiwu’s eyes, this barrier was nothing and could be broken with a flick of his hand. He was just curious about what the demons were up to and why they were activating the teleportation array. He could tell it was a military-grade large teleportation array, capable of transporting a large number of troops at once. The first batch of troops appeared from the teleportation array, a whole army of about a thousand, all Divine Kings. There were demons of various attributes, and although their attributes differed, they complemented each other perfectly, not conflicting but rather complementing each other on a law level. Such a combination was considered elite even in the demon army. Especially at the forefront of the team, there was a huge demon. He was surrounded by Abyssal Fire, which was dark green and incredibly deep. This was a Flame Demon, and a Divine Sovereign-level Flame Demon at that. His appearance made Zhu Qiwu even more curious. Why would the demon army come here, and why would they even deploy a Divine Sovereign? After a brief interval, the teleportation array activated again, sending over another batch of troops. The second batch consisted of a hundred demons, all Divine Kings. This time, they were all Illusion Demons. Seeing the arrival of the Illusion Demons, Zhu Qiwu showed a peculiar expression. Illusion Demons weren’t known for their combat strength; they had two major strengths. One was creating illusions. Illusions were used to trap enemies and provide support for their companions. On the battlefield, a team with Illusion Demon support could see their combat power increase significantly. The second strength was speed. Illusion Demons were very fast, among the top in the demon race. Although not as fast as the Golden Eagle Tribe, they were faster than most races. Illusion Demons were rare in the demon race, only slightly more common than Bewitching Demons. They rarely appeared in large groups. Seeing a hundred Illusion Demons appear simultaneously was very unusual. By now, Zhu Qiwu had guessed that these guys were likely here for Lin Moryu. He speculated that Lin Moryu must have done something inside. Zhu Qiwu knew nothing about the situation inside the Yellow Earth Desert, so he couldn’t guess what Lin Moryu had done. But he was sure that Lin Moryu must have killed many demons; otherwise, they wouldn’t have reacted this way. Demons communicated information very quickly. If an avatar was killed, the main body would instantly know the entire process and react accordingly. This was one of the most troublesome aspects of the demon race. The teleportation array continued to operate, and more demons appeared. The third batch consisted of only two demons, but their auras were astonishing. One was an Illusion Demon Divine Sovereign, and the other was a Stone Demon Divine Sovereign. "Even he has come." Zhu Qiwu recognized the Divine Sovereign Illusion Demon, known as the Nightmare Sovereign. He was the latest to achieve Divine Sovereign status among the Illusion Demons and had caused significant harm to the human race when he was a Divine King. Seeing the Stone Demon Divine Sovereign, Zhu Qiwu understood a bit more. The Yellow Earth Desert was dominated by two laws: the Earth Law and the Stone Law. Stone Demons excelled in the Stone Law, so they likely considered the Yellow Earth Desert a sacred training ground. If Lin Moryu had entered and killed these guys, including some avatars, it would have attracted more demons. Zhu Qiwu also guessed that the demons already knew Lin Moryu’s identity. After all, Lin Moryu was a well-known genius on the demon race’s kill list and topped both the human race’s potential and combat power rankings. To kill Lin Moryu, a small number of troops wouldn’t suffice. This time, they not only deployed elite Divine King troops and a powerful Divine Sovereign Flame Demon but also over a hundred Divine King Illusion Demons and a Divine Sovereign Illusion Demon. Additionally, there was a Divine Sovereign Stone Demon. This lineup was more than enough to kill not just one but ten or even a hundred Lin Moryus. Clearly, the demon race had made Lin Moryu their top enemy, determined to kill him. Zhu Qiwu wasn’t surprised. If he were in their position, he would do the same. A genius like Lin Moryu could either be a member of their race or an enemy. If given the chance, he must be killed. Zhu Qiwu didn’t take action; he concealed himself, his eyes cold. "If I kill all these guys, the demon race will surely feel the pain." Not to mention, Illusion Demons were rare. Losing over a hundred at once would drive the demon race mad. The Nightmare Sovereign flew over the Yellow Earth Desert, while the hundred Illusion Demons surrounded it. "Create the illusion!" The Nightmare Sovereign’s soul voice echoed through the starry sky. Then, the hundred Illusion Demons simultaneously cast their spells, weaving an illusion. The illusion, led by the demon Divine Sovereign, enveloped the Yellow Earth Desert like a bubble. No matter where Lin Moryu tried to leave the Yellow Earth Desert, he would fall into the illusion. The elite Divine King team was ready to strike at any moment. The trap was set, just waiting for Lin Moryu to walk into it.
