Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Void Gate Lockdown!

The battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse.

The sudden withdrawal of the Human Race’s troops caught the Alien Race off guard.

Moreover, with the Demon Race’s assault suddenly intensified, the entire defense line collapsed in an instant.

The Northern Territory thus completely fell into the hands of the Demon Race.

Those Alien Races who attempted to reap benefits from the Human Race barely managed to withdraw from the Northern Territory after paying a heavy price.

However, all this no longer concerned the Human Race.

As the forces of Longxia Country, the Council, and the Blood-colored Church pulled back their lines, the Demon Race army fully occupied the Northern Territory, and the pressure on each faction suddenly lessened.

The situation temporarily stabilized!

Meanwhile, Gu Xing, far away on Blue Star, was completely unaware of the drastic changes in the Alternate Space.

With Shen Ruoxue’s leadership, the three of them smoothly returned to the National Academy.

“Swish!”

A spatial rift appeared out of thin air, and the trio’s figures suddenly emerged in the campus center.

This scene immediately drew exclamations from the surrounding students:

“Look! It’s God Gu! And Senior Sister Shen and Senior Sister Ying Bing!”

“Oh my God! I’ve finally seen the legendary God Gu in person!”

The legendary tale of Gu Xing “facing a thousand opponents alone” was still circulating on campus, coupled with Long Zhenguo personally announcing his passing through the Ascension Realm. Now, no one at the National Academy was unaware of Gu Xing’s fame.

However, Gu Xing was quite uncomfortable with this kind of stardom.

He did not linger and went directly to the entrance of the Beast Taming Holy Pool that Long Zhenguo had promised.

Taking out the specially made token, a spatial passageway immediately opened.

But just at that moment…

Sally suddenly requested to leave the Beast Taming Space.

After Gu Xing released her, she solemnly bowed and earnestly said:

“Lord Gu Xing, during the time you break through to Commander Level, may I wander around this world?”

Seeing the seriousness on Sally’s face, Gu Xing was slightly stunned.

Although he didn’t understand why she suddenly made such a request, still…

From what Gu Xing knew about her, this obedient little girl was not the type to cause trouble.

Moreover, considering Sally’s level was merely at the Extraordinary Level, even if she wanted to cause trouble…

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xing nodded:

“Go ahead.”

Sally’s eyes lit up upon receiving permission, and she bowed deeply once more:

“Thank you, Lord Gu Xing! I will surely wait here for your return when you leave!”

After watching Sally depart, Gu Xing turned and stepped into the spatial passageway.

After a familiar wave of dizziness, he returned to the Beast Taming Holy Pool.

Unlike the last time, the Holy Pool was deserted at this moment—

All Monarch Level Beast Masters had gone to the Alternate Space battlefield to repel the Demon Race invasion.

Gu Xing wasted no time, raising his hand to summon his Guardian Beasts.

Liu Li, Vera, Qing Shuang, and Fei Yue appeared one after another, surrounding him.

Next was to utilize the power of the Holy Pool to elevate both himself and the levels of his four Guardian Beasts to the Commander Level!

Just as Gu Xing was about to break through to Commander Level, the Divine Pattern within his Beast Taming Space suddenly trembled violently!

“Buzz!”

The Divine Pattern rushed out of the Beast Taming Space, ravenously devouring the Holy Pool’s energy.

“Not good!”

Witnessing this scene, Gu Xing’s pupils contracted sharply.

If the Divine Pattern devoured all of the Holy Pool’s energy…

He immediately sat cross-legged, and his four Guardian Beasts simultaneously closed their eyes, meditating and focusing, absorbing the energy with all their might.

In an instant, six energy whirlpools formed within the Holy Pool—

The largest whirlpool came from the Divine Pattern, consuming almost half of the Holy Pool;

next were the three whirlpools formed by Liu Li, Qing Shuang, and Gu Xing;

Vera’s whirlpool was slightly smaller;

and Fei Yue’s whirlpool was the smallest.

At this moment, Gu Xing clearly felt:

The energy absorbed from the Holy Pool this time was different from before!

The Holy Pool’s energy was no longer intercepted by the Spring of Life and the Tree of Life, but truly flowed into his entire body.

Upon sensing this energy, the Sovereign and Soul-devouring talents in his mind began autonomously devouring energy.

However, after the last encounter in the Divine Secret Realm, the two talents were no longer at odds like before!

These two talents surprisingly presented an unprecedented state of harmony.

Gradually, two peculiar light spots appeared within the Beast Taming Space:

One was blood-red like crimson, and the other was silver-white like the moon.

“What is this…?”

There had never been a precedent in history of a Dual Talents Beast Master breaking through to Commander Level.

No one knew whether the breakthrough would lead to a fusion of talents, or…

Form a Double Domain!

Feeling the distinctly separated energies within his body, Gu Xing vaguely had a premonition.

Aside from Gu Xing, the four Guardian Beasts were also rapidly enhancing their attributes through energy absorption!

…

Meanwhile.

At the Demon Race’s frontline command center.

If any Human Race were here, they would surely be scared to death by the sight before them.

Dozens of peak Monarch Level Demon powerhouses stood solemnly among them. More terrifyingly, in front of them stood more than a dozen half-step Totem Level Demon powerhouses.

Leading the half-step Totem Level Demon calmly spoke, his voice echoing like an abyss:

“Everything is proceeding according to plan.”

“The Alien Races have all withdrawn from the Northern Territory, and the Human Race has shrunk back into their territory.”

“Both Divine Secret Realms have also fallen into our hands.”

“All this was within Lord Demon God’s prediction!”

Before the words settled, all the Demons knelt in unison on the ground, their fervent shouts shaking the heavens:

“Long live Lord Demon God!”

“Long live Lord Demon God!”

The leading Demon raised his hand in a gesture, and the clamor instantly fell silent.

“Lord Demon God does not need these empty praises; what he wants is…”

“The Human Race’s Divine Pattern!”

The atmosphere in his voice turned cold!

“It has been confirmed, the Divine Pattern is in the hands of Longxia Country.”

“Therefore, our primary objective—seize the Divine Pattern!”

“Immediately execute the Demon King’s order: seal all Void Gates within Longxia Country’s borders!”

The Demons responded in unison, acting in perfect harmony.

The leading Demon produced an ink-black Demon Lock, and the space around tensed up at once.

This was a treasure personally bestowed by the Demon God!

Its sole function was to temporarily sever the connection between the Human Race’s Blue Star and the Alternate Space!

“Begin!”

With a single command, all the Demons simultaneously infused Demonic Qi into the Demon Lock.

In an instant, a dark pillar of light shot skyward, endless darkness engulfing the entire sky of Longxia Country like a tide.

Simultaneously, the five Void Gates within Longxia Country started trembling violently, the passages closing at a speed visible to the naked eye…

“Not good!”

The stationed Beast Masters’ faces changed drastically, immediately reporting the anomaly as an emergency.

When Long Zhenguo received the news, his face turned instantly pale.

Void Gates sealed…

This meant——

The connection between Blue Star and the Alternate Space had been completely severed!

Meanwhile, the Demon Race army had the northern defense line completely surrounded, yet delayed their attack…

“So that’s it!”

Long Zhenguo suddenly clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white from excessive force.

“Their true target is… to invade Blue Star!”

This terrifying thought caused Long Zhenguo’s heart to plummet.

With Longxia Country’s current defenses on Blue Star…

Dangerous!

Blue Star is at risk!

And even though he realized the Demon Race’s plan, he was powerless to stop it!

It was his grievous decision that led to this situation, and now…

He is powerless!
