Chapter 492: Demon Sovereign
As the realmlord of the high-rank realm, Ye Chen should have stayed behind in order to stabilize the rear, but he insisted on joining the assault. The only reason he succeeded was because of two factors: his persistence and the lack of need for a realmlord. Even without Ye Chen, the immortals could defend the high-rank realm thanks to the formations already implemented.
Ye Chen’s addition didn’t add much to the defenses. Plus, Ba Shifang would not take part in the assault in order to stay behind and guard the rear. All in all, Ye Chen’s presence mattered little.
The leader of this assault operation was Minister Vastlight of the Immortal Court. Some of the immortals of the Numinous Sword Sect expressed displeasure at the Immortal Court taking the lead twice in this series of operations, but the Immortal Court said that they would allow the Numinous Sword Sect to lead if they had the right artifact to hide these large number of immortals.
Although the humans had a good springboard to attack the Demon Clan, the demons constantly monitored the high-rank realm. In order to sneak into the heart of the Demon Clan, the humans needed to use a powerful artifact or spell to hide themselves during the transition. The Immortal Court had the Spacetime Chessboard, which could shuttle through the folds of spacetime.
Unlike Ba Shifang’s Five Planet Pearl, which was composed of five pseudo realm artifacts, it was a true realm artifact from the treasury of the Immortal Court.
At this, the immortals from the Numinous Sword Sect became silent. They had a stock of realm artifacts, but their numbers paled in comparison to the Immortal Court. Not only that, they didn’t have a realm artifact that specialized in the Law of Space, much less the Law of Spacetime.
One immortal suggested the Immortal Court lent the Spacetime Chessboard to an emperor of the Numinous Sword Sect, but the Immortal Court rejected it. How precious was a realm artifact, especially one at the level of the Spacetime Chessboard? Once the Numinous Sword Sect got it, would they easily return it?
Don’t talk about the alliance of the two hegemonic forces. If there were enough benefits and little demerits, both sides would have no problem turning on the other.
“Alright, please enter the Spacetime Chessboard, everyone,” Minister Vastlight said. The seemingly plain wooden board emitted a faint light and shot out several rays. Whoever the rays touched, they would enter the chessboard.
