The vortex in the void continued to spin above the plains, growing larger and larger with every passing moment.

 

In just half an hour, it had already expanded to a diameter of over 1,000 meters.

 

At first glance, it resembled no different than a giant abyssal maw, capable of devouring everything in its path.

 

At this moment, if one were to observe it closely, they would notice streams of light surging out of the vortex continuously. Some of these streams bore auras as strong as Tier-3, or even Tier-4.

 

“For the Holy Light! Fight!” A sudden roar echoed across the skies, followed by a dazzling streak of light rushing from the horizon.

 

This streak of light was so brilliant that no one could look at it directly. The gale it stirred swept across tens of thousands of kilometers.

 

It was a Tier-5 High Angel. It was none other than a Tier-5 High Angel. Four pristine white wings extended gracefully from his back, while his arms, resembling sword blades, gleamed with a deadly edge. His body was encased in resplendent golden armor.

 

This was a Holy Sword Angel, belonging to the same lineage as Arto, who got imprisoned by Yu Zi Yu.

 

However, this particular Holy Sword Angel was far inferior to Arto.

 

One was at Early Stage Tier-5, whereas the other was at the Peak Tier-5.

 

Even so, the arrival of this Tier-5 Angel had caused the countless Void Creatures to writhe as if faced with a natural predator, before disintegrating into wisps of smoke under the angel’s blazing Holy Light.

 

*Roooooaar…*

*Shriek…*

 

Wails and cries of despair filled the plains.

 

Be that as it may, the Holy Sword Angel did not let his guard down. He was well aware that the real threat was not these Void Creatures, but the ever-expanding purple-black vortex looming in the skies above the plains.

 

“Shatter for me!” With a thunderous shout, the Holy Sword Angel raised both arms and swung them in a rapid arc, tracing a cross in the air. A radiant, cross-shaped sword arc burst forth, spanning thousands of meters, as it surged toward the purple-black vortex, intent on cleaving it apart.

 

*Boooom…* With a deafening explosion, the cross-shaped arc collided with the purple-black vortex, causing it to tremble slightly. Yet, that was all it achieved—a mere ripple. The vortex continued to spin steadily, undeterred, ominously spinning over the sky.

 

“How is this possible?” cried the Holy Sword Angel in a voice filled with shock and astonishment, yet he did not stop. Rather, he channeled even greater amounts of Spiritual Energy.

 

*Boooooom…* A terrifying aura erupted shot into the sky as the Angel’s wings, resembling sword blades, expanded and quivered violently.

 

In an instant, the wings detached and shot toward the purple-black vortex.

 

This was the Secret Technique—Wings of Holy Light, which allowed him to shoot his blade-like wings at will, striking the enemy in an instant.

 

Both its power and speed were extraordinarily terrifying.

 

Furthermore, the wings were controlled psychically, allowing them to lock onto the target’s Soul and relentlessly pursue it with unerring precision.

 

Now, the four sword-like wings, cloaked in boundless Holy Light, transformed into four streaks, slashing consecutively at the purple-black vortex.

 

*Boooooom…* Another loud explosion followed as the Void Energy of the vortex clashed with the Holy Light Energy of the Angel Clan, creating a dazzling burst of sparks in the sky.

 

*Rumble, rumble…* The resulting impacts were so thunderous and deafening that it felt as though lightning was striking down.

 

However, this was merely the beginning.

 

At this moment, the Holy Sword Angel, with his consciousness attached to the wings, began a relentless barrage of strikes.

 

*Booooom, booooom, boooooom…* Amid the continuous explosions, the purple-black vortex became a helpless target, ravaged by the relentless Sword Energy.

 

Even the Void Creatures emerging from the vortex were obliterated instantly, reduced to nothing by the residual waves of the terrifying Sword Energy before they could even react.

 

…

 

*Hmph…* Witnessing this, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but coldly snort, his expression turning slightly frosty.

 

[A mere Tier-5 Angel dared to block me? He is truly looking for death!] At this thought, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to a nearby spot.

 

“Lord Purple Dragon… we request to join the battle,” the unified call echoed as the eight Generals under Yu Zi Yu’s command, along with over a dozen other Tier-5 Void Creatures, all displayed fervent determination in their eyes.

 

“Very well,” Yu Zi Yu nodded his authorization and then continued, “This time, I will attempt to send a few of you through first. When the time comes, prioritize intercepting those Tier-5 Angels, then aid me in channeling my power to descend upon the starry skies.”

 

Listening quietly, each Void Creature’s expression turned serious.

 

Immediately, they responded in unison, “Yes, Lord Purple Dragon.”

 

*Hoooo…* Yu Zi Yu took a long, deep breath. Wasting not another moment, he channeled his Spiritual Energy, as the purple Void Energy the ordinary Tier-5 Void Creatures.

 

The Void Gate’s capacity was limited.

 

Stronger entities could not pass through yet.

 

Even for these Tier-5 Void Creatures, Yu Zi Yu needed to expend significant energy to forcibly stabilize and widen the Void Gate to send them across.

 

However, it was enough.

 

With these Tier-5 Void Creatures defending the Void Gate to the death, Yu Zi Yu would be able to infuse his power through the dimensional barrier and truly maintain the stability of the gate.

 

At this moment, Yu Zi Yu let out a commanding roar, “Go on!”

 

At his command, a series of resounding claps echoed through the air as the Tier-5 Void Creatures, enveloped in Yu Zi Yu’s Void Energy, transformed into streaks of light and disappeared one after another into the purple-black vortex.

 

In a moment…

 

On the plains of Lumina Sanctis…

 

*Boom, boom…* A spine-chilling aura suddenly erupted from the purple-black vortex, before a tide of Void Energy, seemingly tangible, surged forth.

 

*Roooooar…* A spine-chilling and utterly horrifying growl immediately followed, while a creature resembling an Octopus but pitch-black slowly crawled out of the vortex.

 

Its sheer size was staggering. Tentacles, each stretching over a thousand meters, slowly emerged from the Void Gate, writhing ominously as the creature pulled itself free.

 

Then—

 

*Swish…* With a sharp swishing sound of something cutting through the air, one of its tentacles, wreathed in a faint purple glow, lashed out at the sword wings relentlessly striking the Void Gate.

 

The tentacle struck the sword wings with a deafening clap, bringing their assault to a sudden halt.

 

At that moment—

 

*Swish, swish, swish…* One after another, a total of seven tentacles, as thick as giant pythons and surrounded in purple-black light, whipped toward the remaining sword wings.

 

This was a Tier-5 Void Creature with countless tentacles at its disposal.

 

Each tentacle was as strong as Artifacts, impervious to harm.

 

With so many of them, it was easy to imagine the terror this creature invoked.

 

But it wasn’t alone.

 

*Rooooar, roooooar…* More low growls echoed as additional streaks of purple light shot out from the vortex. Each one was more formidable than the last.

 

All of them charged toward the approaching Angels.

 

However, what set the Void Creatures apart from the Angels was that while the Angels were rushing over in haste, the Void Creatures under Yu Zi Yu’s command had long been lying in wait, prepared to unleash devastation.
