Chapter 1469: Urgent Situation

Xiang Shaoyun hadn't utilized the strength of his pseudo-god soul all this while, but that wasn't because he was unwilling to use it. Rather, his soul had grown too quickly after he fused all nine of his stars into one star. He had to first stabilize his soul before he could make use of it. Furthermore, he was also using his soul to temper his soul foundation, trying to push the soul foundation to reach the god grade as well. Only then would he be supplied with an unending stream of soul power and be able to form a pseudo-god-grade soul clone.

Every god-grade soul clone would be weaker than the main body, but the clone would still possess about 10 to 20 percent of the main body's full strength. A clone was extremely useful and was something any God Realm expert needed to have.

At present, Xiang Shaoyun's soul foundation was already a saint-grade soul foundation. However, his current soul foundation still wasn't perfect enough to his liking. He wanted to forge a soul foundation that was more in line with his temperament. Only then would the soul foundation have a high affinity with him, allowing him to unleash an even greater strength.

Thus, Xiang Shaoyun planned to forge the soul foundation into a multicolored lotus soul foundation. The lotus soul foundation would have nine petals, with each petal being of a different color. Each petal would counter and support each other, becoming the vessel for primal inception energy, further perfecting his soul.

However, the Dark Devourer Clan had forced Xiang Shaoyun to make use of his pseudo-god clone before he was ready. With the soul clone, he could fly much faster than when using his main body. The Sky Measuring Step displayed its value, allowing him to move at an incredible speed toward the Dragon Phoenix Academy.

As he traveled, his devil cultivation continued growing. He was already a third-stage Devil Saint. After consuming one devil core, he became a peak third-stage Devil Saint. Before long, he would probably become a fourth-stage Devil Saint.

With the clone, he took three days and three nights of continuous travel to finally reach the Dragon Phoenix Academy.

"Who dares to fly above the Dragon Phoenix Academy?" the voice of a God Realm expert rang out.

By the time Xiang Shaoyun's clone returned to his main body, an old man he had never seen before had appeared before him. He immediately took out his elder token and said, "Xiang Shaoyun greets you, lord. I have something urgent to report to my master, Guardian Ge Yi. Please allow me through."

Generally, one needed to walk through the main entrance if one wanted to enter the academy. Xiang Shaoyun's action of arriving after tearing through space could be considered a type of provocation.

"You're Xiang Shaoyun? Why are you in such a rush?" asked the old man.

Xiang Shaoyun did not hide anything and said, "The Dark Devourer Clan is returning from the outside domain. They've reached the Eastern Pass's Light Province. If no assistance is provided, the City of Light will be destroyed."

"What? The Dark Devourer Clan of the four paramount devil clans has appeared?" the old man exclaimed in alarm.

"Yes. Please let me through. I need to tell my master about this," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Alright. Go," said the old man. He knew the situation was urgent and allowed Xiang Shaoyun to enter.

When Xiang Shaoyun left, the old man sighed, "Chaos has truly arrived."

The dominion had existed for countless years, and during the dominion's existence, chaos would come every now and then after a certain amount of time. After 10,000 years of peace, chaos had arrived once again.

The history of each chaotic period was a history dyed red with blood, one where the cost of peace was countless human lives. The coming chaos would probably be the scariest of all. It was unknown if humanity could survive this chaos as well.

The moment Xiang Shaoyun reached his master's place, his master's voice rang out, "Why are you so flustered?"

"Master, the Dark Devourer Clan has come here from the outside domain. They have probably reached the Light Province by now," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Since when did the devils gain the ability to enter the dominion from the outside domain?" asked Ge Yi as he appeared out of thin air.

"The Dark Devourer Clan was hunted by the other three paramount devil clans, but they made use of a spatial tunnel to escape the Devil Domain. After roaming the outside domain for a period of time, they finally found a way back. If we don't kill them in time, the entire dominion will be in danger!" said Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun was probably the only human who knew this. Ge Yi's empty eyes gazed toward the east. As though he could see through everything, his gaze landed right on the Eastern Pass.

Not every God Realm expert could obtain divine dao eyes. Only the truly talented ones would be able to obtain them. In fact, Ge Yi had blinded his own eyes just to cultivate divine dao eyes. With his current cultivation, he could easily see through an entire region with one look. Ge Yi could see that the Dark Devourer Clan was attacking the City of Light's formation. Before long, they would break through the formation.

"Come with me," said Ge Yi as he narrowed his eyes. He grabbed Xiang Shaoyun and headed toward the Eastern Pass.

Ge Yi moved so fast that Xiang Shaoyun couldn't even begin to sense how fast they were moving. Not even Xiang Shaoyun's divine dao eyes could see anything when moving at such a speed.

An unknown amount of time passed before they stopped. Xiang Shaoyun felt like only an instant had passed, but he also felt that it had been days.

When Xiang Shaoyun opened his eyes, he found himself above the City of Light.

The area was flooded with devilish energy while terrifying attacks were colliding against the City of Light's formation. Under the attacks of several Devil Gods, the formation finally crumbled apart, revealing the frightened angels within the city.

"The devils are invading! Not even the grand formation managed to stop them! What should we do?"

"Where's the high priest? Has the high priest fallen?"

"Calm down! Work together to purify these evil beings! We can't sit around doing nothing!"

"That's right. Even at the cost of death, we will kill as many devils as we can! The light will never be extinguished!"

...

Several ten-winged angels flew out. Behind them were a considerable number of eight-winged angels. They all utilized all their strength to activate their halos, gathering a vast amount of light energy to block the devils' attacks.

"It's the annoying birds! You shall serve as the blood sacrifice to celebrate our return!" said a devil coldly.

Next, a massive amount of devilish energy rushed forth and blasted the concentrated light energy apart. A large portion of the devilish energy was successfully stopped, but many angels still perished from the attack.
