From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 998 - 579: Forced Conscription, Cold-Blooded Rules

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Under the assault of ten Abyss Demon Gods, the Space Barrier of the Chaos Sea began to exhibit intense spatial fluctuations.

If this continues, the Space Barrier will soon be breached.

Lu Heng stood above the Chaos Sea, watching all this unfold, feeling a bit tense.

What he was doing now, after all, was going against the Summoning Will.

This act of breaking the rules naturally carried with it danger, but it also gave Lu Heng a sense of excitement at heart.

Once this Space Barrier is broken, the secrets behind it will be revealed.

At the start of the current Demon God Battlefield, the gathered Abyss Demon Gods were still wary of attacks from the Summoning Camp, so the offensive was relatively slow.

As time went on, the Abyss Demon Gods channeled all their Divine Power to attack the Space Barrier.

The Space Barrier began to totter.

It was at this point that the Summoning Tasks began to change.

A new task prompt popped up on the task interface, forcibly appearing in the mental realm of all Supreme Divine Rank beings.

Moreover, the nature of the Summoning Task changed, turning into a Mandatory Mission.

Divine Rank Summoners who did not participate in driving away the Abyss Demon Gods would be deprived of their Divinity.

Lu Heng was slightly surprised when he saw the task, turning his head to look at the Glowing Sea Urchin and asked: "Has this situation happened before?"

Glowing Sea Urchin replied: "No, such a situation where Divine Rank Summoners unite and do not take action has never happened before."

Upon a little reflection, it's clear that for Divine Rank beings seeking to plunder Divine Power, the best choice is to hunt Abyss Demon Gods in the Demon God Battlefield.

Therefore, the Demon God Battlefield was usually a process of reciprocal hunting between Divine Rank Summoners and Abyss Demon Gods.

Even situations where the Space Barrier of the Chaos Sea was attacked were rare.

This time, it was Lu Heng's power as the King of Chaos that intimidated other Divine Rank Summoners, leading to this situation.

In the Chaos Sea, only the King of Chaos holds such power.

The previous King of Chaos, after ascending to the Supreme Divine Rank, chose to create the Chaos Throne and lie low.

However, the nature of Chaos Law doomed this strategy to failure, eventually leading to being besieged by the top ten Demon Gods.

So this is the first time such a situation has occurred.

Now, the Summoning Will has begun issuing a Mandatory Mission, coercing Divine Rank Summoners into battle with the condition of depriving Divinity.

The Glowing Sea Urchin voiced concern: "If that's the case, those hidden Divine Rank Summoners may have to take action."

Lu Heng had previously gathered seven Divine Rank beings to meet, but judging from the number of Abyss Demon Gods, there should still be Divine Rank powerhouses hiding in the background, yet to appear.

Now, with the Mandatory Mission emerging, it may force these hidden Divine Rank beings to reveal themselves.

As time progresses, the Space Barrier of the Chaos Sea is on the verge of breaking.

As expected, Law Fluctuations began to appear in the Chaos Sea.

Noticing this, the Glowing Sea Urchin immediately warned: "It's appeared."

Lu Heng also sensed it, raising his hand to invoke the Chaos Law, descending a thousand miles away to block the path of a Three-headed Ancient God.

This Three-headed Ancient God's body was as majestic as a mountain, visibly stretching over ten thousand meters long.

Blocking it, Lu Heng seemed as insignificant as a firefly.

However, in the world of the Divine, size had already lost its meaning; Divine Power was the sole standard to demonstrate strength.

The Three-headed Ancient God had three heads, his skin was a dark purple, with curved horns shaped like crescent blades, and his face was covered with strange rocky patterns, each line glowing with a magma-like red light.

His breaths emitted a sulfurous scent, some features resembling the Demon Race.

Yet in the Star Realm, the appearances of Species were varied and bizarre; any kind of life form could exist.

Whether one belongs to the Demon Race can't be judged by appearance; it depends on whether Abyss Energy exists within them.

So, with just a glance, Lu Heng knew the other was not an Abyss Demon God but was instead guided by the Summoning Will.

The Three-headed Ancient God looked at Lu Heng warily, first questioning: "What are you trying to do?"

Lu Heng skipped the pleasantries and directly stated his request: "I hope you don't participate in the battle."

The Three-headed Ancient God displayed a puzzled expression, asking: "What do you mean? The Abyss Demon Gods are about to break the Space Barrier."

Lu Heng frankly stated: "I just want to see what's behind the Space Barrier, this pointless clash has lasted too long, continuing only leads to endless minor conflicts and death."

The Three-headed Ancient God, rarely involved in Demon God fights, had survived for an incredibly long time.

He too once held Lu Heng's doubts.

However, lacking the power to change the situation, he harbored only questions.

The Three-headed Ancient God remained silent for long, questioning: "If I don't act, my Divinity will be deprived."

Actually, Lu Heng had worried about this issue too, but upon understanding a certain principle, he was less concerned.

"The Summoning Will aims to drive away the Abyss Demon Gods; depriving Divinity is merely a threatening tactic, it won't completely strip all Divinity from the start.

"I'm also curious about how the Summoning Will intends to deprive us of our Divinity.

"If it is an irresistible force, joining the battle later would still be in time."

The Summoning Will's purpose is to protect the Space Barrier of the Chaos Sea; if it deprived all Divine Rank beings of Divinity, it would have no pawns to carry out its will. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The Three-headed Ancient God sank into silence, finally asking: "And if I refuse?"

Lu Heng responded calmly: "As long as you have the ability to bypass me."

The Three-headed Ancient God, wary, observed Lu Heng for a long time, ultimately retreating slowly without further words.

This reaction was tantamount to tacitly agreeing to Lu Heng's request.

Afterward, Lu Heng intercepted two more Divine Rank Summoners.

Not one Divine Rank Summoner entered the battlefield from beginning to end.

With no interference, the Abyss Demon Gods launched a fiercer assault, causing the Space Barrier to totter perilously.

...

As the situation develops, there are new changes in the summoning mission.

Compulsory mission is initiating the countdown for divinity deprivation.

Lu Heng watched the countdown tick by and returned to the Chaos Throne to quickly communicate with the Glowing Sea Urchin, preparing to jointly resist the Summoning Will's deprivation of divinity.

Subsequently, Palm and Dark Scale appeared successively, coming to the Chaos Throne and suggested resisting the Summoning Will together.

The four divines joined forces to construct a Law Defense Layer outside the Chaos Throne.

The countdown for divinity deprivation ended, and a powerful Law Power emerged from the void, enveloping them.

Lu Heng felt his divinity being drawn by this Law Power, flowing outwards.

Feeling this force, Lu Heng clenched his fist sharply, using the Chaos Law to resist it.

The two Law Powers collided, immediately slowing the rate of divine loss.

After attempting, Lu Heng confirmed, "The Law Power that deprives divinity can be resisted; it hasn't formed a dimensional crushing on us. Everyone can try collaborating, using laws to counteract; it should be more effective."

At first, Lu Heng worried that the Summoning Will's so-called power to deprive divinity was a higher-dimensional power.

It now seems to be at the law level.

With a little thought, it's easy to understand.

The Summoning Will's transmission of the Summoner's power is actually also law-level power.

This should be the limit of the Summoning Will.

If the Summoning Will mastered higher-dimensional power, it could completely use it on the Abyss Demon Gods, so why still summon divines as pawns?

Palm and Dark Scale gathered, releasing law power, forming a airtight defense layer to block the Summoning Will.

Other divine-ranked beings summoned were also resisting the power of the Summoning Will, but not every divine-ranked being had such strong divine power.

Thus, several divine-ranked beings wanted to give up resistance and join the battle.

However, the Abyss Camp has already formed a situation of ten demon gods teaming up. Without the divine-ranked beings united by Lu Heng taking action, the remaining weaker divine-ranked summoners dare not face the ten abyss demon gods alone.

Therefore, these divine-ranked beings who wished to forgo resistance wanted to act but did not dare.

Ultimately, they could only come to the Chaos Throne to seek help.

Lu Heng allowed them to enter the defense circle of the Chaos Throne to jointly resist the plunder by the Summoning Will.

...

The situation on the Demon God Battlefield is becoming increasingly subtle.

The Summoning Will has been escalating the compulsion level of the summoning mission because the Space Barrier is precariously close to breaking.

Although the compulsion level of the summoning mission is increasingly higher, Lu Heng also discovered a key point.

He himself has never been judged as a Traitor.

Judging solely from his behavior of obstructing other divine-ranked summoners, the result seems worse than directly attacking the Space Barrier.

At least from the standpoint of the Summoning Will, Lu Heng's behavior is "malicious".

Any wise being noticing Lu Heng's actions would directly define him as a Traitor.

However, such a situation hasn't occurred, which indeed indicates that the Summoning Will is a segment of law programming, with no intelligent life controlling it from behind.

At least not presently.

With the Space Barrier being penetrated layer by layer, whether the manager behind the Summoning Will will appear is unknown.

According to the information revealed by the summoning mission, behind the Space Barrier should be a world called the Naru Ascension Civilization.

Now the Space Barrier is about to be shattered, if such a civilization truly exists, it should almost be time to appear.

...

As time progresses, the Abyss Demon Gods' attacks on the Space Barrier become increasingly fierce.

The breakage of the Space Barrier looms ahead.

Lu Heng and the Glowing Sea Urchin also tensely observe the development of the situation.

At this moment.

Lu Heng received a mental connection from Su Muyu, and his expression immediately froze.

Because Luo Yuncheng was summoned, and it was by the Demon God Battlefield.

Luo Yuncheng was the fifth demigod in the Human World, outside of Lu Heng's team of four.

Initially, the Battle Zone Headquarters did not know Luo Yuncheng was summoned by the Demon God Battlefield.

However, Luo Yuncheng's summoning this time was very special, with no seven-day countdown, directly counting down from three hours.

Because the summoning countdown was so peculiar, the Battle Zone Headquarters used a rule item to obtain summoning information in advance.

The result was a discovery that Luo Yuncheng was summoned by the Demon God Battlefield, with a mission to drive away the Abyss Demon Gods.

Moreover, Su Muyu and the other three were also re-summoned, receiving a compulsory mission where refusal to fight would lead to divinity removal.

From the rule level, demigods are not supposed to be summoned by the Demon God Battlefield.

However, both Su Muyu's group of three and Luo Yuncheng being just demigods makes their summoning into the Demon God Battlefield merely cannon fodder.

Upon receiving this information, Lu Heng's gaze focused instantly and he immediately instructed Su Muyu to contact the allied civilizations of the Sword Holder Alliance.

Sure enough, the Elf Clan, Sea Demon Clan, Black Iron Dwarves, Star Realm Merchants—all demigods within the Sword Holder Alliance civilizations—were summoned.

Upon hearing this, Lu Heng understood what was happening.

Evidently, the Space Barrier of the Chaos Sea can no longer be sustained, forcing the Summoning Will to expand the summoning scope, gathering demigods to stop the abyss.

Even if the summoned demigods are only cannon fodder, the Summoning Will doesn't care.

This also illustrates that the rules of the Summoning Will are absolutely cold, its sole purpose being the protection of the Space Barrier.

Once the Space Barrier is threatened, it will transport any summonable life to obstruct the abyss.
