This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 837 - 661: Prelude to War · Sword Raised!

In less than a week, even if all the time was spent on cultivation, it wouldn't lead to significant progress, so Liang Yi and Su Youyi spent the time with Zhou Ruanxian.
After all, these few days might be the last moments of peace on the Mystical Mechanism Continent, while Wan Tinggui, having nothing else to do, wandered off to the intelligence hall of Abyss Battle City.
Within these days, streams of light surged from all corners of the Mystical Mechanism Continent, landing near Abyss Battle City. Large dark clouds loomed over the Heavenly Vault, and Liang Yi didn't need to look to know it was cultivators from various sects gathering here.
At the same time, players who had been offline for a while all logged back in.
The players were not completely ignorant of the in-game events; from announcements, they understood the content of this version update:
[The Affairs of the Mystical Mechanism World Are Concluded]
"What the heck, are we counterattacking the Abyss Continent?"
Players logged in and briefly checked the update content since their last visit, shockingly discovering that in their absence, the Mystical Mechanism was about to have a decisive battle with the Abyss!
"No wonder there were no missions to go to the Abyss; we're directly attacking, how violent, I love it!"
"Abyss Continent's damsels, here I come!"
"I've long been irritated by those Abyss bastards. We were always on the defensive before, and now we can finally counterattack and let off some steam!"
Players passionately discussed on forums, sensing that this might be an unprecedented major event, excitedly wishing they could jump into the battlefield immediately and slay a few Abyss cultivators to boost morale.
Some players who had left Abyss Battle City before logged in to see countless forces gathered and the atmosphere completely changed. They quickly recorded a video and posted it on the forums.
Previously alerted by Liang Yi, the Super Forces, upon noticing the return of the Abnormal People, first appealed to emotions and reason, releasing a CG animation with an extremely tragic atmosphere, igniting the murderous passion of countless players.
Then, as planned, they issued the highest-level sect missions, showcasing various prized treasures they hesitated to reveal before, dazzling the players and making their breath heavy.
At this moment, whether new players or those who had previously fought in Abyss Battle City, whether casual or story-focused players, their minds and bodies were invigorated. Seeing the rewards offered, they almost believed the Abyss cultivators held a personal vendetta against them!
Even if they didn't have it before, they do now!
"The Abyss must die!
"Is it the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty and Sword Cleansing Heavenly Pool attacking from the direction of Abyss Battle City?"
Drawing his attention back from the players' forums, Liang Yi gazed at the distant scene of dark clouds pressing down on the city, sensing the sharp sword intent flickering in the void.
"After all, Abyss Battle City serves as the tip of the sword here and must quickly break the enemy lines to relieve pressure on other directions."
Su Youyi soared from the valley, standing behind her senior brother, looking in the direction he was watching.
"Bearing the brunt is no easy task..."
Feeling the increasingly heavy atmosphere, Liang Yi's mood involuntarily tensed.
The eight Super Forces were attacking from four directions, and with Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty and Sword Cleansing Heavenly Pool being sects with immense attacking power, they led nearly forty percent of the Mystical Mechanism Continent's resources and troops to face the Abyss army's toughest side.
Their mission was to turn themselves into a short sword, tearing through the enemy line swiftly, piercing the heart of the enemy to draw their forces and focus away, and reclaim the Desert North as quickly as possible!
And the price for this, of course, would be countless casualties!
Everyone appearing here understood the dangers, yet no one backed down; on the contrary, more and more cultivators arrived.
Liang Yi's divine sense swept across the heavens and earth, taking in the myriad expressions of life at a glance.
Some drowned their sorrows in drink, trying to dispel their inner fears this way.
Some maintained a calm expression, with a steady heart, taking everything in stride, thinking only of how to infiltrate the Abyss cultivators.
Some devoted themselves to cultivation, not wasting a single moment to strengthen themselves, for every bit of power gained now could be their hope of survival on the battlefield.
In Abyss Battle City, there was worry, fear, and indignation but no fear or retreat.
Above the Heavenly Vault, millions of armored soldiers of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty arrayed in the clouds, their black armor darker than the looming clouds.
Silence and stillness, with a hint of excitement.
Born for battle, Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty was incomplete without war. If the battlefield could be their final resting place, it would be their honor!
In another realm, within the small secret Sky of Light, countless sword intents crisscrossed, snowflakes fluttered down, and settled on the shoulders of the Sword Cleansing Heavenly Pool sword cultivators.
Though far fewer in number compared to the armored soldiers of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, if the soldiers were the body of the sword, then the countless sword cultivators of Sword Cleansing Heavenly Pool were the sharpest edge!
Led by Ke Mengzhan, the True Inheritors of Sword Cleansing Heavenly Pool repeatedly checked the sword array and their swords in hand. Their goal was to break through the enemy's line in one go, there must be no slackening in this endeavor.
Though a single sword cultivator was powerful, one sword alone was insufficient to turn the tide on a battlefield, so they aimed to make the entire Sword Cleansing Heavenly Pool become a single blade!
