Chapter 2808: The Second Battlefield is About to Begin!

Chapter 2808 The Second Battlefield is About to Begin!

He could only deduce that since the Earth Mother had returned to Kunlonghu for rest and recuperation rather than for combat, she wouldn't have brought too many Cangyan people with her.

Unless something unexpected happens, then it's beyond Duanmu Heng's ability to predict.

So he waited anxiously for news in Longhuxi Town.

"When can I make my move?" The person behind me was also getting impatient. "I've come all this way to this barren, desolate place, not just to watch the show."

"Please wait patiently, Immortal Venerable." Duanmu Heng bowed to him. "The Earth Mother Plains have been invaded by a powerful enemy, and the Cangyan Sect's garrison there will surely seek the support of the Nine Nether Emperor. Once he arrives, we can open a second front! This is also the significance of you and the other celestial beings remaining outside the Dragon-Trapping Ridge!"

Yes, don't be fooled by the fierce fighting on the Earth Mother Plain; that was merely the first battlefield in his plan.

The one who can truly defeat the Nine Nether Emperor might be the second battlefield that opens later.

Of course, there was one thing Duanmu Heng didn't say: if the Celestial Venerables had already achieved great success on the Earth Mother Plain, then naturally there would be no need for a second battlefield. But judging from the current situation, Duanmu Heng was very glad that he had made an extra preparation.

Just then, the glowing purple stone egg on Duanmu Heng's desk suddenly cracked, and a purple butterfly flew out from it.

This purple butterfly wasn't a real object, but a lifelike phantom. It flapped its wings and flew to Duanmu Heng's ear, its tail feathers still tinged with purple light.

It spoke in human language: "Someone has broken into my dream kingdom, aggressive and making no attempt to conceal their identity."

Upon hearing this, both people in the room paid close attention. This was because the purple butterfly was the communication spell of the Goddess of Illusionary Music.

Duanmu Heng immediately asked, "Can you confirm my identity?"

“I can recognize one of them. One is the Night Wanderer of the Earth Mother Plain. It tried to awaken the Earth Mother's soul earlier, but I stopped it. The other one…” Purple Butterfly paused, “is perhaps the Nine Nether Emperor.”

Duanmu Heng asked with a start, "Are you sure?"

"This person's soul is exceptionally powerful, shining brightly in the dream, impossible for anyone to ignore. When he saw my Dream Galaxy, he barged in without the slightest hesitation. The Night Wanderers of the Earth Mother Plain followed him respectfully, and even a Nightmare transformed into a galloping horse for him to ride." The purple butterfly whispered, "I think this is most likely the Nine Nether Emperor we have been waiting for."

"What do they look like?"

"He was tall and handsome, with a commanding presence, and wore light black armor. He had covered his face long ago, but I still managed to see what he looked like."

Duanmu Heng picked up a portrait from the table and showed it to the animal: "Is this what it looks like?"

Purple Butterfly glanced at him and said, "Yes, that's him!"

"It's undoubtedly the Nine Nether Emperor." Duanmu Heng let out a soft breath. "Unless another nightmare transforms into his appearance. But that possibility is too small."

Because it's meaningless.

"They've finally arrived!" The immortal behind him chuckled. "As you predicted, he must rescue the Earth Mother in order to regain control of the entire Earth Mother Plain."

The plan of Venerable Lingxu and Duanmu Heng was very meticulous. The invasion of the gods had already damaged the foundation of the Earth Mother Plain. Without the help of the Earth Mother herself, even if the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds were to come in person, he would not be able to turn the tide in this battle.

He will definitely try to rescue Mother Earth; therefore, the dream kingdom of the goddess of illusion is the second battlefield!

The purple butterfly added, "Also, he's injured!"

The other two asked almost simultaneously, "Are you sure?"

"I can tell from his soul injury at a glance, even though he tried to cover himself up completely," the Goddess of Illusion chuckled. "The injury is quite severe."

The two were overjoyed upon hearing this. Jiuyou had come injured; whatever the reason, this was a major advantage for them!

The Immortal then asked the purple butterfly, "How is Mother Earth? Have you managed to comfort her?"

The Earth Mother's spirit is powerful, but too naive. For the Goddess of Illusion to deal with a stone-headed being, wouldn't that be a piece of cake, an absolute breeze?

The purple butterfly paused for a moment as it fluttered its wings: "Mother Earth remains in a state of extreme anger, refusing to sleep in her dreams."

Duanmu Heng was then somewhat puzzled: "Even your 'Dream Sand' can't lull it to sleep?"

The Dream Sand of the Goddess of Illusion can take many forms; in the Dream Flower Dream, it manifests as a deluge of butterfly and flower pollen. But its core effect is only one: to put the soul to sleep and render it unconscious.

"It persisted in using 'anger' to fight 'drowsiness,' and shattered my dream of purple flowers."

The Immortal Venerable frowned, and Purple Butterfly quickly continued, "Don't worry, Mother Earth hasn't left my dream realm. The next surprise awaits it. This stone-headed fellow thought that by possessing the object connecting to reality, he could return to reality smoothly, but little did he know that my divine realm is far superior to the mere dream realm of the mortal world!"

"The Earth Mother is incredibly destructive. I warned you long ago not to underestimate her! The reason Shangguan Biao has kept her in slumber for thousands of years is because a fully awake Earth Mother is difficult to deal with." The Immortal Venerable asked the Goddess of Illusion, "Now, what do you plan to do with her?"

Regarding that big, clumsy creature, the Goddess of Illusion was still confident: "It doesn't matter if it refuses to sleep, I have other ways to soothe it and make it stay obediently in its dreams."

"But there's a problem: after entering the Dream Galaxy, Jiuyou went straight to the dream realm where the Earth Mother resides, unaffected by other dreams. I suspect they might possess real-world objects related to the Earth Mother, which is what that Night Wanderer is using to search for her whereabouts. I've tried my best to hold them off, but..."

But it's unclear how long this can be delayed.

If it were other immortals or celestial demons who had ventured into the Dreamy Galaxy, the Goddess of Illusionary Music, as the host, would be eager to try her luck.

But the Nine Nether Emperor's reputation was so great, and he had killed so many Heavenly Demons, that the Goddess of Illusion Music couldn't help but become cautious when facing him.

"Isn't that perfect?" The Immortal Venerable smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "The Earth Mother is the best bait!"

"I'm going to prepare for entering the dream. Jiuyou, ha, I have a score to settle with him!" He walked back. "What about the other Heavenly Demons?"

Duanmu Heng replied, "I'll be there soon."

The Immortal Venerable stepped out of the house, and the corridor lights illuminated his face. If He Lingchuan were here, he would recognize him immediately.

Inside the room, Zi Die asked again, "What other ideas do you have?"

“Since he’s heading straight for Mother Earth, how about this…” Duanmu Heng shared his new idea with Zi Die, then said, “The dream world is the best battlefield. The soul of Jiu You is no stronger than his physical body in reality, and besides, he can’t use his Yuan Power in the dream world.”

Without the interference of Yuan Power, the battle between the Heavenly God and the Nine Nether Emperor would be fair.
