Chapter 426 (Massage Chair Extra - )

Adam frowned slightly, in the end, absolute strength truly dictated everything.

Leaving the city, Adam returned to the cave where he had first tracked that man, it was now completely empty, looking no different from an ordinary cave, it was probably just a temporary base, abandoned and restored to its original state once no longer in use.

Adam located the eavesdropping formation patterns he had previously hidden.

"Those idiots seem to have caught onto some clues." It started with that middle-aged man’s voice.

But soon, a second voice sounded. "So what if they found out? It doesn’t matter. The Heavenly Court is also preparing for the final harvest, these people are all going to die in the end anyway."

"Understood, then what about us?"

"The boss said for everyone to retreat into the city and await orders to coordinate with the Heavenly Court’s sweep."

"Perfect, I’m finally done pretending, let’s go."

Rumble! What followed was the sound of techniques destroying the cave.

Adam’s eyes narrowed slightly, as expected, holding something in reserve always paid off, now, he just needed to hand this recording over to Lyra.

Upon receiving the recording, Lyra immediately sprang into action, rallying all the villages to launch an assault on the city.

Although the village leaders were somewhat fearful of the Heavenly Court’s strength, after hearing Lyra’s plan, they felt it was an opportunity worth seizing, one after another, they expressed willingness to join and jointly resist the Heavenly Court’s oppression.

After all, having heard about the impending great purge, if they did not at least try to fight back, they would truly become lambs awaiting slaughter.

Lyra felt a surge of gratitude, she knew that for this operation to succeed, these villages’ support was indispensable, thus, they began to formulate a detailed plan.

Inside the city, Adam had decided to let Lyra act as the leader of this operation because her influence in this world was the greatest and she was best able to mobilize the people’s hearts.

Meanwhile, he was responsible for stepping in at critical moments to resolve any unexpected situations.

Of course, most importantly, the moment an opportunity presented itself at the Heavenly Court’s entrance and exit, Adam would rush over immediately.

The Heavenly Court forces also seemed to have noticed something amiss, they began frequently mobilizing troops.

However, there was still no intelligence indicating the appearance of a Saint.

The weather these past few days had been excellent, with clear skies stretching endlessly, everything was quiet and harmonious, but both sides knew this was merely the calm before the storm.

The villages were assembling their army outside the city, and the defenders did not want to strike rashly, outside was the territory of the villages, and launching an offensive would only lead to greater losses.

By simply defending with the city at their backs and various resources at their disposal, they stood in an inherently invincible position, taking the initiative was completely unnecessary.

Both sides were at daggers drawn, all they needed was a single spark, and war would break out in an instant.

Time passed in a tense yet orderly manner, the war between the villages and the Heavenly Court finally erupted.

Lyra led the village warriors, bravely charging the city’s defensive lines, they engaged in fierce combat with the Heavenly Court guards, and both sides paid a massive price.

The Heavenly Court’s high-end combat power was far greater than the villages, they had seven or eight experts at the Ninth Heaven of the Deity Realm.

The villages had none, under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Court would never allow the villagers to grow to such a realm, there were only ten deeply hidden Eighth Heaven Deity Realm experts serving as the alliance’s high-end combat power.

Meeting force with force was a losing battle, however, thanks to Adam’s formations, several Seventh Heaven cultivators teaming with an Eighth Heaven expert could contend with a Ninth Heaven expert, though it remained strenuous.

But the villages had one advantage, their numbers.

Empowered by Adam’s formations, they held a massive advantage in base-level combat power, thus, they could free up more people to join the formations fighting the high-end combatants.

For a time, both sides were evenly matched.

The battle intensified, and both sides fell into a bloody stalemate, although the Heavenly Court held the high-end advantage, the village warriors, relying on formations and numbers, withstood the attacks.

The war did not become easier, the warriors were incredibly brave, but the guards were equally well-trained and experienced, they constantly launched fierce attacks, attempting to slaughter as many villagers as possible, they had a mission, after all.

Since the Heavenly Court was planning a great purge anyway, the villages starting this war was convenient for them, they slaughtered without the slightest mercy.

Adam observed from the shadows, burning with anxiety, the Heavenly Soldiers stationed at the entrance showed no signs of moving.

The pressure applied by the villages was not great enough, there was no need for reinforcements.

But this would not do, if the fighting continued, the villages would only weaken, as long as the Heavenly Court’s high-end power remained, the deaths of lower-ranking soldiers did not matter.

His mission was to study the world barrier at the entrance, only by grasping its secrets could they truly break free.

If this continued, they faced only defeat.

"No, I have to break this equilibrium." Adam frowned, a few of the Heavenly Court’s high-end combatants had to die.

He quietly slipped into a formation led by an Eighth Heaven Deity, preparing to launch a fatal sneak attack on one of the Ninth Heaven experts.

He knew this was the key to tipping the scales, only by inflicting heavy losses on their high-end combatants could the villages gain a greater advantage, thereby forcing the entrance guards to mobilize.

Adam took a deep breath, aligning his aura with the surrounding warriors, he carefully observed the battlefield, searching for the optimal moment to strike.

"Speak! Who taught you this formation?"

That Ninth Heaven Deity was clad in golden battle armor, engraved with mysterious runes that flickered with faint light, the armor was stained with blood, the blood of the Human race.

In his hands, he gripped a massive battle axe, the axe body exuded a fierce, overbearing aura, so majestic it seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth, it instilled terror in anyone who looked at it.
