1110 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls
# Chapter 1110: All for the Homeland The world was engulfed in oppressive darkness, accentuated by the startling black and red cracks. Tang Xin, leading a group of formidable warriors, ascended into the sky, nearing the boundary of the spatial barrier. These cracks appeared directly on the outer side of the space barrier, like parasitic worms, hindering the barrier's self-repair process. Beyond this, a massive, almost indescribable spherical object hovered ominously. "What the heck is that thing?" The cracks seemed to originate from this object. Directed towards the void realm's barrier, a tremendous energy gathered, its fluctuations so intense that even top-tier warriors like Tang Xin and the Ice Staff found it suffocating. A reconnaissance-type of divine instrument scanned the area, eventually managing to provide a partial answer. "This is a... life form." "Life form?" Yu Lingzi pointed at the thing outside. "You're talking about that?" "There are traces of numerous soul activities inside it, and its energy circulation forms a complete cycle," the divine instrument explained. "Though its exterior is hard to evaluate, by conventional standards, it can indeed be classified as a life form... and its main component is flesh and blood." Flesh and blood, with numerous soul imprints... "This is a blood beast," Tang Xin said solemnly. "It might be an ultimate form of the monsters we encountered in the void that nurtured sacred remains." Even the incomplete form they had seen back then was terrifyingly powerful. Now, the destructive potential of this complete form was immense, posing a great threat to the Void Realm. "Detected signs of human activity," the divine instrument reminded, "on the surface of the sphere." Using magic to peer into the distance, they could see teams of cultivators busying themselves on the large object's surface, with many spirit vessels docked there. Clearly, the enemy was well-prepared. "Why would the Blood Sovereign Hall attack like this?" The Patriarch of the Zhan Family was puzzled. "Don't they have the means to traverse between realms?" "Because their methods are limited to those below the tribulation stage," the Ice Staff stepped forward, answering. "The conversion rate of void laws is restricted. Without Tang Xin, even the people of the Nine Provinces couldn't stay long in the Void Realm." Neither Fei Yao in the past nor Ling Hua could remain in the Void Realm for long, and their realms never surpassed the tribulation-transcending stage. If the Blood Sovereign Hall only sent a group of cultivators at the peak of the union stage, they wouldn't stand a chance against clan leaders wielding divine instruments equivalent to those in the tribulation-transcending stage. "Do they plan to blast open the Void Realm?" Creating a passage on the barrier for passage wasn't overly difficult, but completely breaking it open or disrupting the operation of the celestial law was an almost unimaginable feat! "Would the Blood Sovereign Hall exert so much effort to invade the Void Realm just to eliminate us?" Another person questioned. Even the Ice Staff had no answer this time. Whatever was outside the barrier, even with the resources of the Blood Sovereign Hall, creating more than one might be impossible. The Void Realm wasn't their main threat, so why such a large-scale attack? Furthermore, why hadn't their leader appeared? "Power..." A wisp resembling a soul drifted from Tang Xin. "Whoa!" "It startled me!" "I thought Tang Xin was ascending!" "Her power hasn't fully recovered," a system guide remarked, gazing at the sphere. "Although with our realms, we can still exert power without a body, to truly unleash everything, a perfect body is still essential." "What does she intend?" "She likely plans to use the great world as a foundation to forge an unprecedentedly powerful body." Using the great world as a foundation... What a terrifying notion! If she succeeded, she might wield even greater power than when she created the temporal singularity. "If that's the case," the system guide continued, "I imagine one great world wouldn't suffice. Only by consuming both the Nine Provinces and Void Realm, merging their powers, could she be satisfied..." Ding ding ding! Just then, Yu Lingzi's token chimed, and the Loli Leader's expression changed drastically. This was an emergency communication only activated when the Nine Provinces faced dire catastrophe. "The Nine Provinces... are besieged by countless enemies... imminent danger... return quickly!" The token's message was intermittent, interspersed with the sounds of explosions. "It seems the Nine Provinces are also under attack," the Ice Staff remarked, "and perhaps more directly..." The Blood Sovereign Hall's assault on the Nine Provinces would face fewer hindrances. Yet the idea of an emergency signal from the Grand Base, supposedly protected by mid-stage tribulation veterans, seemed puzzling. Caught off guard, Tang Xin, clutching her magic weapon, frowned, pondering a strategy. Both the Nine Provinces and the Void Realm housed loved ones she cared deeply for... "Don't hesitate." The strong warriors present had already provided her with the answer. "Go, we'll manage here! The Blood Sovereign Hall won't breach quickly, and their main target seems to be the Nine Provinces!" Were the Void Realm still as scattered as before, they might not withstand the external foes by themselves. But now, united as one, their resilience was stronger than ever! "That's right, Sister Snow," Tian Er said with a smile. "We'll guard this place well! Besides, with so many divine instruments helping us!" "Yeah, if we can beat them, we will!" "And if not, we could still self-destruct!" "Though we're not keen on doing that..." After a brief consideration, Tang Xin nodded deeply. "I leave this place to you all." Neither the Nine Provinces nor the Void Realm could afford to fall. At least here, a law barrier offered some protection, whereas the Nine Provinces' nature made it more susceptible to danger. Tang Xin, along with her friends from the Nine Provinces and some divine instruments, moved to an open area. "Though I've once said that the Nine Provinces are where home lies," she spoke while raising her magic weapon, "I think a home can be more than one place. Where dear ones reside, there, too, is home." With a swift motion, she conjured a space portal leading to the Nine Provinces from thin air. "I command you all: live and wait for my return," she stated in a calm tone. "Yes." Stepping through the portal, Tang Xin and her newly acquainted companions from the Nine Provinces gradually disappeared. The remaining strong warriors felt relieved yet couldn't shake their nervousness. With their clan leader Snow absent for now, the safety of the Void Realm rested solely on their shoulders. And rightly so. For this was their homeland, after all! "Senior Snow has bestowed upon us strength and weapons," Xin Er said to the black and red cracks. "Now, it's time to showcase our resolve!"
