Chapter 868: Military Order |
Meng Zhang roughly counted and found that there were a total of twelve Primordial Spirit True Monarchs present.
Regardless of each person's cultivation base, at least one thing was clear - everyone had considerable strength and unique abilities, not the ordinary types among Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
With everyone gathered, Wen Dong True Monarch introduced everyone to each other.
Next, Marshal Wang Pokong read out the military order.
The military order was straightforward: he was to lead this team and infiltrate the extraterritorial void to destroy the spatial channels established by the extraterritorial demons and Spirit Clan.
Marshal Wang Pokong was not one for small talk, and in just a few words, he outlined the general plan of action and everyone's tasks.
As soon as Marshal Wang Pokong finished speaking, Wen Dong True Monarch took over and provided a detailed explanation for everyone.
It turned out that the extraterritorial demons and Spirit Clan had secretly infiltrated the Grand Dust World. Unlike previous extraterritorial invaders who launched large-scale attacks immediately, expanding in all directions, this time they had their reasons.
They seemed to have learned from their past failures and become much smarter this time.
Then, they continuously sent reinforcements into the Cloudmist Great Lake through the spatial channels they had established.
Up to this point, a considerable force had gathered in the Cloudmist Great Lake.
The extraterritorial demons and Spirit Clan that used to linger near the Grand Dust World had mostly been transferred to the Grand Dust World.
Now, these Extraterritorial Invaders from Cloudmist Great Lake were not only notifying other branches of the demons and Spirit Clan but also trying to gather other extraterritorial races in the nearby void. They planned to bring them to the Grand Dust World through the spatial channels.
If this concentration of forces were not stopped, the consequences would be unimaginable.
With continuous reinforcements from the extraterritorial void, once they gathered enough strength and launched an attack, the Dali Dynasty would likely struggle to resist.
The spatial channel was originally established by the Purple Gold Sect but was partially destroyed later by Purple Yang Holy Sect's World Traveler, Xiao Jiansheng, and his team.
Now, the channel had been rebuilt based on the remaining parts.
To completely destroy this spatial channel, they would need to enter the extraterritorial void and act from within.
As this spatial channel was of crucial importance, the Extraterritorial Invaders would undoubtedly take strict precautions and guard it closely.
This mission would undoubtedly involve a large-scale battle.
Dali Dynasty's commander, Zhang Wei, and powerful figures like Azure Origin Sect's Qing Gu True Monarch were closely watched by the Extraterritorial Invaders and found it difficult to escape their surveillance.
To ensure the secrecy of the operation, Zhang Wei, as the Dali Dynasty's supreme commander, not only secretly brought in the expert in Space Grand Dao, Marshal Wang Pokong, but also most of the team members were not top experts from the North Sweeping Grand Army.
Meng Zhang had only traveled back and forth through the Purple Gold Sect's spatial channel between the small world of the Purple Gold Sect and the Mirage Secret Realm, but had little experience operating extensively in the extraterritorial void.
And this time, the main battlefield would be in the extraterritorial void.
In fact, not only Meng Zhang but many Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, especially those at the early stage of cultivation, had little experience exploring the extraterritorial void.
Wen Dong True Monarch probably knew this situation and gave some more details about the battlefield environment. In the extraterritorial void near the Grand Dust World, there had always been a formidable defensive force.
This defense force was generally composed of powerful Primordial Spirit True Monarchs led by Return to Emptiness great powers.
They were the first line of defense for all Extraterritorial Invaders attempting to enter the Grand Dust World.However, the extraterritorial void is too vast, and the manpower responsible for defense is too scarce, so it is inevitable that there will be some loopholes, allowing the Extraterritorial Invaders to sneak in.
Of course, for these Extraterritorial Invaders to enter the Grand Dust World, they still need to pass through the Nine Heavens.
The Nine Heavens is the second line of defense for the Grand Dust World and the most crucial one.
Due to time constraints, Wen Dong True Monarch didn't elaborate on too many details.
The Extraterritorial Invaders from Cloudmist Great Lake managed to bypass the Nine Heavens and directly teleport to the Grand Dust World through the spatial channel.
This situation is not common, but it has happened before.
If they successfully complete their mission and destroy the spatial channel, the Extraterritorial Invader reinforcements will be unable to teleport directly to the Grand Dust World. They will have to break through multiple lines of defense to enter.
With the defense line guarded by Return to Emptiness great powers, most of the Extraterritorial Invaders can be exterminated.
By then, even if a few stragglers remain, they will not pose a significant threat.
Wen Dong True Monarch's explanation made Meng Zhang, who was previously limited to his own level and unaware of the upper-level secrets of the Cultivation World, understand them one by one.
After listening to these secrets, some of the previous doubts in Meng Zhang's mind were now answered.
However, new questions arose in his mind.
The trajectory of the extraterritorial demons and Spirit Clan invading the Grand Dust World was clear, and the entire process was not complicated.
But how did the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan, which invaded before, appear in the Grand Dust World?
Even after multiple battles, the number of troops from the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan remained considerable.
How did such a massive army manage to avoid the detection of Return to Emptiness great powers, bypass the outer defenses of the Grand Dust World, and enter its interior?
If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, Meng Zhang would have wanted to pull Wen Dong True Monarch aside and get to the bottom of it.
However, the primary task now was to destroy the Extraterritorial Invader's spatial channel, and Wen Dong True Monarch probably didn't have the time to answer Meng Zhang's questions.
Next, Wen Dong True Monarch explained some precautions for everyone.
How to adapt to the environment of the extraterritorial void and how to avoid its risks...
For Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, these contents were common knowledge.
Especially for those with inheritances, even if they had never been to the extraterritorial void, they should have some understanding of it.
After finishing what needed to be said, Wen Dong True Monarch closed his mouth, and it was time for action.
Led by Marshal Wang Pokong, the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs formed a simple formation and flew high into the sky.
In the process, Xu Mengying displayed her most proficient illusion technique, concealing the figures of everyone, leaving no trace.
It was not surprising that everyone was so cautious. The key to the success of this mission lay in taking the Extraterritorial Invaders by surprise.
Before they could react and allocate reinforcements, the spatial channel must be destroyed in one swift strike.
If they missed the first strike and delayed too long, they might be surrounded by the Extraterritorial Invaders and forced into a bitter fight.
In the battle in the extraterritorial void, there would be no reinforcements for their side.
On the other hand, the Extraterritorial Invaders would have a continuous stream of reinforcements.
By then, the balance of power would be reversed, and the success of the mission would be in jeopardy. It would also be questionable whether everyone could escape safely.
