"Prepare!"

The long sword is raised high.

War God Kui Qing from the Battle Division roared angrily.

The resonant voice brazenly overshadowed the drumbeat around.

Along with Kui Qing's order.

A hundred warships on the River of the Curved Realm trembled simultaneously.

The fifty thousand elite warriors aboard all retracted their upward gazes.

Each held their head high, looking towards the Curved Realm Passage, an invisible but immensely oppressive aura spreading wide.

Fifty thousand people!

Not a single one is below the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression!

No exception!

The least among them is at the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression!

Moreover, each has experienced life and death on the battlefield.

Their prowess is outstanding among equals.

Such fifty thousand people could annihilate all forces at Heaven and Earth Lake in a very short time.

For Heaven and Earth Lake altogether doesn't even have ten thousand humans in the Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression.

The Demon Race at Demon Emperor Lake, after transformations, only has just over thirty thousand Demon Kings.

This also includes many ordinary Demon Kings comparable to the Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression.

The most terrifying is, there are five more phalanxes behind them.

After some time, Kui Qing's long sword descended!

"First team, enter!"

As Kui Qing's voice faded, over a hundred warships grandly set in motion, surging toward the Curved Realm Passage.

Drums of war, deafening!

Then one warship after another plunged downwards, rushing into the Curved Realm Passage.

When entering the Curved Realm Passage, the warships travel vertically to the ground within the passage, continuously descending.

But the people on the warship feel no difference, as if still sailing on the river.

The only difference is, once there was sky above.

Now, above them is the Curved Realm!

Once all the ships of the first team entered the Curved Realm Passage, Kui Qing waved the long sword again.

"Second team, prepare to board!"

The war drums reached another climax!

Sound shaking the heavens!

...

Heaven and Earth Lake.

Thousand Mechanism Lake.

In a vast plain a hundred li outside Vast City, the space barrier suddenly trembled.

The trembling was very faint, only enough to startle nearby birds.

But a hundred meters away, a middle-aged man's face changed drastically, his hair stood on end.

He hurriedly pulled out a signal stick from his arms!

One pull!

A rocket soared into the sky!

Bang——

The fireworks exploded in broad daylight.

In the air above Vast City, Chen Xie's expression immediately tensed, then he shouted: "Sect Leader!"

On the Flying Ship, Sword Demon, Long Yue, Huaikong, and others' faces froze instantly.

No one spoke.

Because they felt the pressure.

If as Lan Feng said, there would be five nearly invincible War Gods from the Battle Division under Celestial Unrestricted, and twenty to twenty-five ordinary Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted arriving.

With only a few of them, what could they do?

Everyone hurriedly gazed at the place where the fireworks exploded.

Trying to see how many people came.

"Finally, they have come."

At this time, Wen Ping walked out of the cabin, carrying excitement and anticipation different from everyone else's expression.

Seeing this, Huaikong quickly inquired, "Sect Leader, what should we, Demon Race, do now?"

"Let's go and see first."

Wen Ping steered the Flying Ship quickly toward the explosion site.

Upon seeing the space barrier slowly opened to a gap, Wen Ping said again: "Huaikong, Shifeng, lead the Demon Race and Heaven and Earth Alliance members to wait twenty li away. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach the Curved Realm Passage."

Spotting the passage widening.

In a short few breaths, it had grown to allow one person through.

And it was still expanding!

Yet, Huaikong didn't immediately take action.

Instead, standing still onboard, he showed no intention of leaving the Flying Ship, then bowed, "Sect Leader, let us go first."

Huaikong saw Sect Leader ask him to retreat.

He himself did not retreat.

As a member of the Immortal Sect, he had no reason to retreat.

Even if death awaited, he would block all attacks for the Sect Leader.

"No need."

Wen Ping refused.

His gaze firmly locked inside the Curved Realm Passage, spiritual power surged rapidly deeper within.

He wanted to see the situation inside the passage.

After Wen Ping refused, Huaikong still insisted, "Sect Leader, Demon Race is willing to be the vanguard, to fight those scoundrels from the Covering Sky Tower to the death, and bring glory to the Immortal Sect!"

Shifeng immediately kneeled on one knee.

"Shifeng is also willing to be the vanguard!"

The reason Shifeng spoke was simple.

For the Demon Race!

It was the same thought when he intended to kill Huaikong, Ying Zhao, and those brothers.

For the future of the Demon Race, he could kill brothers.

For the future of the Demon Race, he naturally could die.

If the Demon Race hid behind the Sect Leader now.

Would they still have a place under the Immortal Sect in the future?

Today there's a Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Will there be a Red Flower Society or even a Holy Alliance in the future?

So for this battle, the Demon Race must lead the front, proving themselves to the world, and also to the Sect Leader.

"The war has yet to begin, no need to rush to prove yourself before me, nor will I shield you from all enemies." Wen Ping said, contemplating carefully, thinking having Demon Race and Heaven and Earth Alliance retreat twenty miles was a bit overly cautious.

His intention was for the Demon Race and Heaven and Earth Alliance to suffer less loss; however, realizing a concentrated attack from millions of Demon Race soldiers and over a million Heaven and Earth Alliance members at the Curved Realm Passage exit could form an intimidating force.

Enough to give Covering Sky Tower a hard time.

Wen Ping immediately ordered, "All members of Demon Race and Heaven and Earth Alliance prepare to rally, ready to establish Vein Formation Array and Demon Power Array at the Curved Realm Passage exit!"
