Chapter 568: The Invasion Begin
The rumbling thunderclap signaled the start of the battle in devil territory, and many devils perished instantly. The heavenly lightning unleashed by Aldrian, who had already reached the middle Grand Duke stage and also within his domain, was unstoppable, tearing through the ranks of those poor bastards.
Outside his domain, Aldrian could fight toe-to-toe with low Emperor-stage cultivators thanks to his boost in strength. Already a powerful cultivator with cross-level fighting ability, and with the power of faith flowing to him from across the continent, he was more powerful than ever.
The heavenly lightning pierced thousands of devils, slithering like the movement of thousands of snakes. It tore through their bodies and electrocuted them to a crisp. Whether the devils used defensive artifacts or not, they were useless in the face of the heavenly lightning.
Aldrian didn’t stop there. He sent more lightning to obliterate the entire area. He wouldn’t allow these summoning formations to be used again. The storm continued to devastate the land, the devils, and everything in its path. Only after more than thirty seconds did the lightning storm come to an end.
Aldrian looked at the result of his attack, the vast land lying in ruins, and nodded to himself in satisfaction. There was nothing left for him to destroy here—except for a few who were still alive, though already dying. Fortunately, he had not used his full power, and a few Emperor-stage devils had managed to endure the lightning storm.
He teleported to one of the Emperor-stage devils who was still breathing, though his body was charred and covered in burn wounds. Without a word, Aldrian began to look through the devil’s memories, then ended his life by frying his head with lightning once he was done.
Aldrian frowned at what he had seen. The devils were truly going all out in this war, having spent all of their resources and manpower. This area turned out to be their biggest sites for summoning beasts, but it was not the only summoning site.
There were others, and although they weren’t on the same scale as this one, those summoner groups could still pose a threat to the alliance forces.
From the way he saw it, the devil lord seemed to depend heavily on summoning beasts as part of his plan to hold the invasion. Luckily, the other places did not have the capacity to summon beasts as strong as those here, since this area was the main site for summoning.
It was no wonder he hadn’t encountered any devils on his journey here, most of them either concentrated here or had already been sacrificed.
Aldrian took out a communication artifact and reported the threat of the summoning beasts to the leaders of the invasion force before continuing his journey. At this time, he really couldn’t afford to visit other areas to deal with those summoning formations, as it would take too much time. What he needed to do was trust the invasion force to handle those problems later.
