A tendril made of black hole Qi slashed at the worm like a whip, but the worm easily evaded it and headbutted the king of the destruction race.
The king of the destruction race was sent flying backwards and realized that the worm was at the same level as him.
The combination of the worm and Lu Wei made the king of the destruction race wary.
He looked around and shouted, his voice echoing throughout space. "Destruction race, kill Ying Xiong at all costs."
Nobody dared to disobey the order of the king of the destruction race, and all focus was diverted to Ying Xiong and the ordinary true god that had appeared.
The high lords abandoned Lu Zhong and Feng Liu to go after Ying Xiong, but the two instantly followed despite being injured.
Nothing could happen to Ying Xiong no matter the cost. Luckily, more true gods on the side of the humanoid races showed up. As time passed, the number would become greater and greater. In fact, it was very likely that the rest would arrive in less than an hour due to all of the teleportation arrays.
7 of the 12 true gods had survived the array, and 15 more showed up together. Although they were fighting a losing battle due to having to protect Ying Xiong, their advantage would grow when more true gods showed up.
Ying Xiong had only come in order to distract the destruction race, which had clearly worked.
Lu Wei and the worm teamed up on the king of the destruction race, forcing him back. There was almost 0 threat to his life, but it would be hard for him to contribute anything else to the battle.
Crescent slashes and physical punches were met with black hole Qi and destruction Qi.
Suddenly, the king of the destruction race felt a chill and hurriedly ducked. A knife passed over his head, coming from seemingly nowhere.
Hei Ren had arrived.
The king of the destruction race felt a sense of familiarity from Hei Ren, but since he was unable to see him at all, he could not put any pieces together.
In addition, he did not have the freedom to think about it any longer. His life, which had been under nearly no threat, was now in serious risk. One wrong move could spell death. Hei Ren was only slightly weaker than the worm without borrowing Zhou Fans' divinity's power and Lu Wei.
The king of the destruction race sent out a voice transmission, and 2 of the 3 high lords of the destruction race stopped sieging Ying Xiong and moved towards the king of the destruction race.
Those protecting Ying Xiong felt slightly less pressure, but they were still barely resisting.
Another batch of true gods appeared, this time with 30 new arrivals. The situation was much better for those protecting Ying Xiong, but there was still a threat of death, especially with the high lord still attacking them.
The high lord that had stayed behind was the one that had mastered arrays, and he was the biggest threat besides the king of the destruction race.
Nobody knew when he would strike, but they were all wary.
The king of the destruction race was doing much better with the assistance of the 2 high lords, but the 2 sides were now even in terms of strength.
After all, the worm, Lu Wei, and Hei Ren all surpassed the high lords, even if Hei Ren just barely did so.
The king of the destruction race looked around. He saw very little hope of winning the battle, especially with the reinforcement of the humanoid races arriving.
He sent a voice transmission to the array high lord, who nodded in response and backed off of the battlefield.
Nobody seemed to notice him moving, as if his existence had been pushed away from their thoughts.
He began to move his hands quickly and materials appeared around him. Once Qi began to pour out of his body, Lu Wei snapped out of some sort of trance and noticed what he was doing.
He yelled out loud. "Stop him!"
As he yelled, the king of the destruction race and the other true gods retreated near the array high lord and poured their Qi into an array at certain points.
Hei Ren, Lu Wei, Lu Zhong, Feng Liu, and the worm charged over, but it was too late.
"Array: Black Battle Fortress." The array high lords voice sounded out.
Array lines expanded and everyone hurriedly backed away due to wariness.
A giant fortress began to appear from the bottom up. It was created in less than a second.
It was a shade of black only seen in black holes and stood majestically, asserting its presence in space.
Everyone assumed that the array was done, but all of a sudden, array lines began to burst out from many different spots.
Lu Wei spoke. "They set up arrays on the way here. That explains their slow speed. I had thought that they were wary of trouble."
When Lu Wei arrived, they had only moved a supercluster away from the forbidden land. It had been weird then, but he had not thought about it.
From the array lines, dark black walls were built. The walls protected a large area from the black battle fortress and around what remained of the forbidden land to form an oval shaped defense. The walls covered all six directions of up, down, left, right, forward, and backward, with only small holes in some areas.
As the walls were quickly completed, pre-prepared teleportation arrays began to form on the walls.
It was a complete defense fortress.
Lu Wei was about to command the attack, when more array lines appeared.
At this point, he was completely shocked. He had never imagined such an intricate array.
On the outside of the walls, attack arrays began to form. At the same time, god realm cultivators left the forbidden land and used teleportation arrays to guard the walls.
It seemed like an impenetrable fortress. If the last array was used as a standard, then it seemed that this one was not going to be any weaker.
Still, Lu Wei waited for the arrival of the thousand true gods in order to attempt one last siege.
