Chapter 913: Fury of the Three Realms, Alliance with the Abyssal Demons
Editor: Henyee Translations
Outside the Floodgate Realm, Tianyao, Tianling, and Changhai Realms simultaneously received the news of the annihilation of their three major foreign races within, sparking outrage among their leadership.
Human cultivators had audaciously launched a surprise attack right under their noses, dismantling their critical arrangements in the Floodgate Realm.
Reports indicated that numerous human Dao Mastery cultivators had converged to slay Saint Skywrest.
Had they launched a full-scale attack then, the Floodgate Realm might have already been breached.
The human’s risky maneuver, which they had entirely overlooked, had cost them a crucial opportunity.
Now, with the fall of their elite combatants, the foreign races within the Floodgate Realm were as good as obliterated.
The foreign races in the Floodgate Realm had actually been in contact with the three realms for a long time.
When the three realms cooperated to break through the Floodgate Realm, they could be integrated back into their race.
The intelligence and disruption provided by these foreign races were crucial to the three realms’ strategies against the Floodgate Realm, effectively acting as their eyes within enemy lines.
But with these “eyes” now gouged out by the human cultivators, their fury was understandable.
“The audacity of these humans, to provoke us so! To exterminate the foreign races right when we were poised to attack!” roared a high-ranking official from one of the realms beyond.
In the meeting place of the three realms, every face was etched with grim anger and frustration.
The human cultivators’ decisive strike was a direct affront to their collective might.
Relying on the foreign races for intelligence and harassment had given them an edge in their campaign against the Floodgate Realm.
The humans’ bold action to sever this lifeline had left them blindsided.
It made some of the prepared actions unable to be carried out.
“This human strategy was too ruthless and decisive, disrupting many of our arrangements,” commented a powerful being from the eldarian race.
Plans specifically tailored for the Floodgate Realm were now rendered useless without their insiders.
“In my opinion, we should strike immediately with all our might. With the combined strength of the three realms, is the Floodgate Realm truly unassailable?”
A deepsea giant covered in eerie purple scales argued furiously.
Already dissatisfied with the prolonged siege, the removal of the foreign races from the equation only fueled his rage.
“Attack the Floodgate Realm head-on? Are we to court mutual destruction?” another high-ranking leader retorted, highlighting the strategic folly of a direct assault given the Floodgate Realm’s inherent advantages.
“Indeed, we embarked on this war for the new world they discovered, not a reckless sacrifice,” stated a leader.
Their participation was motivated by potential gains rather than vendettas, and they would be the first to retreat should the risks outweigh the benefits.
“Hmph!”
The deepsea powerhouse’s discontent was evident in his cold snort.
In his view, all foreign races should fully mobilize against the Floodgate Realm, with the spoils of war divided according to contributions.
Those who exerted less effort should simply be cast aside.
“How else do you propose we proceed? Shall we just wait for hundreds of years, letting the Floodgate Realm consume the new world’s resources?” the deepsea nomad, marked by his purple scales, retorted.
His words plunged many into deep thought.
If the conflict were to drag on for centuries, what would be the point of breaching the Floodgate Realm if the human race had already exploited the new world’s resources and were poised to counterattack?
“It seems to me that the abyssal demons of the new world wouldn’t be so easily subdued by the Floodgate Realm,” spoke a demon beast saint.
The abyssal demons, universally despised entities of the new world, now appeared to be likely allies in their struggle.
As opinions clashed among the foreign races’ leadership, proposals ranged from launching a final assault, temporarily withdrawing to strategize, to issuing threats before committing to a decisive attack.
Eventually, the discussion shifted away from the annihilation of their counterparts in the Floodgate Realm.
“Perhaps, we could attempt to contact the abyssal demons. What do you think?” suggested a Daolord from the demon beast’s Sky-devouring Serpent Clan.
The mention of abyssal demons momentarily stunned the assembly.
The prospect of allying with such a notorious race, infamous throughout the spiritual realm for their destructiveness, was something none had previously considered.
Other beings had always subconsciously kept a distance from such a race.
Yet, the suggestion by a figure of authority prompted them to ponder the feasibility of such an alliance.
Could the abyssal demons be their allies?
“We don’t have to trust those abyssal demons, just send them a message, a proposal for a transaction,” the Daolord from the Sky-devouring Serpent Clan elaborated.
“The abyssal demons might not be trustworthy, but they too are troubled by the Floodgate Realm’s humans. This we can exploit.”
“The new world was initially dominated by the abyssal demons before being overtaken by the Floodgate Realm, which has since established strongholds to suppress them. I believe they harbor a deep hatred towards the cultivators of the Floodgate Realm.”
“All we need is for the abyssal demons to launch a major offensive against the Floodgate Realm now. That should suffice.”
Exploitation was the crux of the Sky-devouring Serpent Clan Saint’s strategy.
By leveraging the abyssal demons’ enmity towards the Floodgate Realm, they aimed to create a new front in the conflict, complicating the humans’ defensive efforts.
“What do you think?” he asked, his status as a venerable leader within the demon beast race lending weight to his proposal.
He was qualified to represent the demon beast race.
Therefore, he only needed to obtain the opinions of the other two races.
“The deepsea nomads agree!” The belligerent deepsea Daolord instantly supported the idea of contacting the abyssal demons.
“No matter what kind of demon it is, as long as we can kill the cultivators of the Floodgate Realm, they will be our helpers.”
In his opinion, even if there were no benefits, killing the cultivators of the Floodgate Realm was enough.
From a certain point of view, he was quite similar to the abyssal demon.
The demon beast and deepsea nomad leaders then looked towards the eldarian Daolord, awaiting his opinion.
“How shall we deal with the abyssal demons once the Floodgate Realm is breached?” inquired the eldarian Daolord, voicing a crucial concern.
“Kill,” the Sky-devouring Serpent Clan’s Daolord stated simply.
“Very well, the eldars agree,” the eldarian Daolord nodded.
With that, the Sky-devouring Serpent Clan’s Daolord produced an array disk imbued with the sinister energy.
Some veteran Daolords could smell that it belonged to the abyssal demons.
It was the conduit through which a message from the three realms would be delivered into the world of the abyssal demons.
