Chapter 999: Accelerate Devouring the Target
Seeing that the Starlight Emitter had entered the charging stage, Fang Jie ordered the Void Castle to activate the Void Defense Barrier to protect the Divine Country. To put it plainly, thirty-six Defensive Shields were set up around it.
This is a special Defensive Divine Artifact, incomparable to the Defense Barrier of the plane itself.
Fang Jie's Divine Country Barrier is even stronger than this defense, but it cannot be attacked casually by others.
"Go, get closer, and start devouring." Fang Jie directly ordered the Divine Country to advance.
With the help of numerous White Bone Tentacles, Fang Jie's Divine Country moved very fast, turning around in a moment and flying towards that gigantic plane. The two gigantic objects slowly approached each other in the void.
During the approach, some White Bone Tentacles had already stretched across, entangling the opposite plane.
Around the plane, some areas began to shatter, flying towards the Divine Country under the guidance of the White Bone Tentacles.
These fragments would gradually embed themselves around the Divine Country, becoming part of it, directly starting the devouring process. The gods on the opposite side couldn't believe that the opponent would be so impatient.
They could wait here for thousands of years, always waiting for an opportunity.
But the gods on the opposite side were clearly not the same type. Forget about thousands of years; they weren't even willing to wait a year.
"What's going on, how can there be so many types of Plane Divine Artifacts? These Divine Artifacts not only accelerate plane movement but also assist in plane devouring. How on earth did they acquire them?"
These gods were almost crying with envy, but now what could they do?
They had been at an advantage, but suddenly turned into losers.
"Let's get closer and see if we have a chance to cause them some losses." Several Middle-Level Gods exchanged glances. A human god said, "Our support still needs some time to arrive."
"That's right, reporting this to the Main God might also take some time."
The matter here is too significant for their Divine Race. As for whether the Main God would intervene, they did not know, as the Main God's character and thoughts could only be speculated upon.
However, with so many subordinate gods suffering such a loss, it didn't seem reasonable if the Main God didn't take action.
Several Middle-Level Gods wanted to approach, and Fang Jie, who had been watching them closely, could naturally see this.
"Still trying to seize an opportunity? Just because the Starlight Emitter can't be used doesn't mean I can't," Fang Jie's eyes gleamed sharply, and then he released his Dead Soul Bone Dragon.
Before the six Middle-Level Gods could get close, they suddenly found something flying out ahead of them—ten Dead Soul Bone Dragons.
Each carried an aura of a Middle-Level God and had reached its peak. Perhaps dealing with them individually was manageable, but facing ten at once against their six gave them no chance of victory.
Moreover, it was evident that the opponent's coordination far surpassed their own, even having the same species throughout.
The opponents' Dead Soul Bone Dragons were in prime condition, while they were significantly drained and, crucially, heavily injured.
"It seems there's no way, their defense is very tight, and there's backup coming from behind. We can only retreat."
As their Divine Domain retreated, the opponent didn't pursue, obviously not because they lacked Strength, but because they wanted to expedite the devouring of that plane, which was infuriating.
But anger was futile; they could only retreat now.
As they attempted to withdraw, the Dead Soul Bone Dragons were not willing, immediately flying over and, in coordination with the mid-level Death Divine Beasts coming from behind, launched a battle in the void.
"Traitors, you're actually using me as a shield," a human god suddenly realized that their ally had fled.
Seeing the Elves about to flee too, they simply turned and attacked, leaving behind one Elf god.
"Let's go, don't waste any more time," others looked back, then turned and left. The two Elf gods thought for a moment and also quickly fled.
"You must hold on; we will bring reinforcements to save you."
That Elf god looked desperate, wondering if reinforcements would really arrive. Who could have thought their Elves would become like this, just like the human gods they despised?
But there was no choice, finally watching four people escape while they stayed to fight.
Fang Jie was controlling the Divine Country Devour. Only here could the Divine Country move fastest, and the devouring speed reach its peak, so Fang Jie chose not to go out.
The massive Divine Country gradually approached the plane, with the devouring Strength growing stronger.
In the distance, those gods had already fled aboard others' Divine Domains. Even without being completely shattered, their own Divine Domains were abandoned without any intention of retrieving them.
After all, Divine Domains that had become like this had lost their ability to move independently, dragging them around was just a burden.
Though promised they would be helped to build new Divine Domains, their mood was hardly improved. Even if the new Divine Domains could eventually upgrade, it would be hard for them to enhance their Strength significantly.
After building new Divine Domains, these gods would likely never reach Middle-Level God again in their lifetime.
Nevertheless, the few Middle-Level Gods felt the same. Their Divine Domains were heavily damaged, and after careful examination, they found it was disastrous. Even if they wanted to establish a Divine Country in the future, the cost would be substantial.
The most critical issue is that this kind of Divine Country seemingly could no longer help them break through to Upper Gods.
Although the hope was dim, they at least had a sliver of hope. But now it seemed there was none. However, the specifics required them to go back and consult the Main God.
After all, breakthroughs to Upper Gods were something they themselves did not understand, nor had the Main God told them.
These were analyses collected and summarized over many years, but judging by the current situation, it was indeed troublesome. The lower gods didn't dare to disturb their superiors now.
On Fang Jie's side, after ten continuous days of battle in the void, the two gods finally couldn't hold on. With eleven Middle-Level Gods taking turns in the void, even their enormous reserves couldn't withstand it.
Among them, ten were of the peak kind, few in means but mighty in Attack Power.
Ultimately, the two Middle-Level Gods were exhausted to death, but in their counterattack, Fang Jie found his Dead Soul Bone Dragons had also suffered some injuries.
It turns out that Dead Soul Bone Dragons have limits too. Facing the multifaceted tactics of gods, even at the same Divine Level, they're not the opponents. Even at a higher stage, they might not necessarily be stronger.
