Wen Yu was unaware that the spirit of the demon lord had organized a world-class strong army at the back of the Demon Realm, but that didn't stop him from making a definitive conclusion about the fate of the Demon Palace.
In Wen Yu's eyes, the Demon Palace resembled a sinking ship.
The Demon Palace was powerful.
With over a hundred giant city clusters, it could mobilize billions of peak level 10 demonic clansmen, and the countless scientific achievements produced by their technology departments were enough to make someone like Wei Tian's eyes pop out.
However, such foundational strength was not enough to compensate for the shortcomings of the Demon Palace.
They had too few strong individuals...
Way too few.
Feili was one of them.
The soul puppets Wen Yu created, at best, numbered six, which could barely be considered a rank below Feili. After that... there was only Regas, the fool.
Countless wars had shown that it was not conventional military strength that determined outcomes, but top-tier experts—by this argument, the Demon Palace was simply no match for the spirit of the demon lord.
Oh, and how could I forget... the demon lord...
But Feili's expression just revealed a fact to Wen Yu—the demon lord had shown no reaction to the actions of the spirit of the demon lord at all!
Now that was funny...
There were two possible reasons for this.
One was that the demon lord didn't take the spirit of the demon lord seriously, but as soon as this possibility arose, Wen Yu swiftly extinguished it.
What a joke! Even in Wen Yu's current view, the spirit of the demon lord was an unbeatable presence. What kind of a big-headed fool could afford to overlook such a being?
Thus, the second reason became the only possibility.
The demon lord simply had no countermeasures...
Or perhaps there were, but they were insufficient to eliminate the threat posed by the spirit of the demon lord.
So you see, with the demon lord having this attitude, if Wen Yu didn't hurry to escape, then what was he waiting for?
Cooperation was one thing, friendship was another, but if you thought you could use cooperation and friendship to exchange Wen Yu's life-or-death commitment, you were truly overestimating him...
Seeing Wen Yu leave without hesitation, Feili opened his mouth, unsure how to retain him, until he finally sighed, marking the end of the collaboration between the Demon Palace and Wen Yu.
...
Forest of Lost Paths.
No, using Forest of Lost Paths to describe this "forest" was no longer appropriate.
It should now be called—the Lost Plains.
The towering trees had all been uprooted, replaced by rows upon rows of barracks. Countless soldiers moved back and forth, each one emanating a tremendous aura of blood and energy fluctuations.
In three years, the spirit of the demon lord had remained at the back of the Demon Realm, gathering Variant Soul Puppets, while Aoga took on the role of the spirit's assistant. He maintained the operations of the entire demonic clan while mobilizing troops, calling all available tenth level limit breaker demonic creatures to the Lost Plains.
Three years might not seem long or short, but it was sufficient for the spirit of the demon lord and Aoga to complete all preliminary preparations.
The commands of the spirit of the demon lord flowed into Aoga's mind one after another.
"First, let the cannon fodder go in to scout the coordinates."
"Then let the main force enter to secure the front line."
"Finally, you take seven brothers and hold the Negative 998th Layer while waiting for my next command."
As the commands kept coming, Aoga complied without hesitation, only lifting his head when the spirit of the demon lord uttered the word "Start."
Commands flowed from Aoga, transmitted through various command centers down to subordinate units, and in an instant, the entire camp sprang into action.
...
"You, the squad that entered as the 8825th, come with me."
The third unit, transformed into a demonic creature by Wen Yu, stood at the front of the camp, facing an endless sea of demonic clan masters, with a throng of heads behind him.
