Zheng Dong did not hesitate and quickly collected it into his Beast-Taming Space.
Next, it was time to collect the Sacred Earth Milk here.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The Overlord-level Light Element Elf was very helpful. Under its leadership, all the Sacred Earth Milk that could be collected was gathered.
However, it was a bit regrettable that this Sacred Earth Milk was still not enough to promote the last thousand condensed Light Element Elves to the Commander level.
Zheng Dong could only let them cultivate slowly in the Light Element Dimensional Sea.
After finishing these, Zheng Dong, who was about to leave, sensed two Emperor-level Angels leading a team of Commander-level Angels into the Holy Mountain.
They were very cautious, constantly on guard against any possible accidents.
However, in the face of absolute strength, no amount of caution was useful.
The Overlord-level Light Element Elf, leading ten Emperor-level Light Element Elves and a hundred Monarch-level Light Element Elves, suppressed them all in an instant.
Afterward, Zheng Dong disguised himself as a Lord-level Angel and quietly left the Holy Mountain, heading to the battlefield.
He saw dense masses of demons surrounding the Holy Mountain, locked in fierce combat with a large number of Angels.
In this chaotic scene, no one would notice Zheng Dong disguised as a Lord-level Angel.
After all, Lord-level Angels were a dime a dozen.
But whenever an unfortunate demon attacked Zheng Dong, it would inexplicably be killed, without even knowing how it died.
In fact, Zheng Dong was just playing a supporting role on the battlefield.
His target was the Demoness or the Saintess.
He had to deal with both of them to gain control of the relic space.
However, both of them were difficult to deal with, possessing formidable strength. He had to wait for them to be injured before attempting a surprise attack, which was the only way to succeed.
Under these circumstances, Zheng Dong could only wait.
The battle continued, with both sides still in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.
The Saintess, however, grew anxious.
She waited and waited, but the Sacred Earth Marrow did not arrive. She knew without a doubt that something had happened inside the Holy Mountain.
Therefore, she unleashed several high-tier skills in succession, attempting to force the Demoness back.
The Demoness was not to be trifled with either.
She also unleashed a high-tier skill, Sinful Demon.
A gigantic demonic palm tore open the earth and slammed towards the Saintess.
Boom...
The Saintess dodged the attack, but the palm struck the Holy Mountain.
The Holy Mountain, which was originally indestructible, crumbled with a roar.
This stunned both the Angels and the demons!
The Saintess was even more incredulous.
"No! Impossible..."
The Demoness, however, was delighted. With the Holy Mountain collapsed, it was almost impossible for the Saintess to reach the Totem level in a short period.
Once she reached the Totem level, she could deal with her later.
Therefore, the Demoness felt that there was no need to continue fighting the Saintess to the death, and that cultivating was more important.
The Demoness's intentions could not be hidden from the Saintess.
Unwilling to accept this, the Saintess decided to go all out, no matter what, she had to severely injure the Demoness, preventing her from reaching the Totem level.
Thus, the Saintess attacked the Demoness desperately.
Even though the Demoness wanted to leave, she couldn't escape.
The culprit behind all this, Zheng Dong, still had no intention of revealing himself, disguised as an Angel, playing a supporting role on the battlefield.
He wanted to see who would be seriously injured in the end.
With a "噗嗤" sound, one of the Demoness's wings was torn off by the Saintess.
The Demoness's face contorted in pain, and she let out a heart-wrenching scream.
But the Demoness was not to be outdone. In a flash, she ripped off a pair of the Saintess's wings.
The Saintess possessed seven pairs of white-feathered Angel wings. Losing one pair was also very painful.
However, she gritted her teeth and endured, then moved to attack the Demoness's last wing.
The Demoness had only one pair of large demonic wings, unlike the Angel wings. They were not feathered but covered in strange, eerie patterns.
If she lost both wings, the Demoness would suffer severe injuries, and it would take a long time for them to grow back.
The Saintess, disregarding everything, also tore off the Demoness's last wing, leaving it bloody and discarded on the ground.
The Demoness, not to be outdone, seized the opportunity to sever one of the Saintess's arms.
This scene was exactly what Zheng Dong wanted: a mutual destruction.
At this point, neither the Demoness nor the Saintess could break through in a short period.
The Demoness stopped attacking as well. If they continued, both might be driven to mutual destruction.
Immediately, the Demoness returned to the outer city and left the Holy Mountain.
She was very cautious, and being injured, she feared that other demons might harbor ill intentions towards her.
In contrast, the Saintess had fewer worries. The Light Angels and Fire Angels still respected her.
However, with the Holy Mountain collapsed, should these Angels return to the inner city or continue guarding the Holy Mountain?
After some deliberation, the Saintess decided to remain at the Holy Mountain and transform it into a new home for the Angels.
She instructed the Light Angels and Fire Angels to set up a barrier, purify the dark mist, and build a Holy City on the spot after the great battle ended.
From then on, the Angels would no longer have to worry about being constantly besieged by demons in the inner city, hindering their development.
More importantly, even if they teleported back to the inner city now, it was likely that the inner city had already been occupied by demons.
The Light Angels and Fire Angels did not object to the Saintess's decision.
They also felt that staying at the Holy Mountain was the best option at the moment.
Therefore, the Light Angels and Fire Angels set up defenses and began constructing the Holy City.
The Saintess, on the other hand, ascended to the summit of the collapsed Holy Mountain, set up a barrier, and began to cultivate and recover from her injuries.
Seeing this, Zheng Dong was in a dilemma: should he attack the Saintess first, or the Demoness first?
Both the Saintess and the Demoness were very vigilant and difficult to approach. What should he do?
Zheng Dong then turned his gaze to the Light Angels and Fire Angels.
The two great Angels could jointly contend against the Night Demon General, Gold Demon General, and Spirit Demon General, their strength was also at the peak of Overlord level.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Dong decided to deal with the Spirit Demon General first.
He had witnessed the Spirit Demon General's strength in the recent battle.
The Spirit Demon General was comparable to the Overlord-level Dark Element Elf.
If the Dark Element Elf and the Light Element Elf joined forces, they could quickly suppress the Spirit Demon General.
Then, by disguising himself as the Spirit Demon General, he might be able to approach the Demoness.
However, Zheng Dong did not know that the Demoness was wary of her own people.
Thus, Zheng Dong left a clone on the Angel side to continue observing the situation, while his main body quietly left the Holy Mountain and headed for the Divine City.
The Holy Mountain was not far from the Divine City, facing the Demon Mountain from afar, in a standoff, one to the east, the other to the west.
Therefore, Zheng Dong quickly returned to the outer city, the demons' territory.
This time, Zheng Dong was also more familiar with the outer city and quickly found the palace where the Spirit Demon General resided.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Demon General was not in the palace.
Even the many demon servants living in the Spirit Demon General's palace did not know where the Spirit Demon General had gone.
Zheng Dong frowned.
As expected, plans did not keep up with changes.
What to do?
Should he go find the Night Demon General and the Gold Demon General?
However, their strength was even greater than the injured Demoness.
Even before being injured, the Demoness was only slightly stronger than them. After being injured, she would certainly not be their match.
In that case, it would be better to go directly to the Demoness.
Since he was here, Zheng Dong decided to infiltrate the Demoness's palace to check on her condition.
The Demoness's palace was in the innermost core area of the outer city, where the dark element was most concentrated.
The security here was extremely tight, and the demons responsible for security were all the Demoness's confidantes.
After Zheng Dong infiltrated, he had the Overlord-level Dark Element Elf deal with the Emperor-level demons responsible for security, and then disguised himself, finding the Demoness's place of residence and cultivation.
Only then did he discover that the Spirit Demon General was also here.
The Spirit Demon General had arrived earlier than Zheng Dong. It had also come to cause trouble for the Demoness.
It had actually been hiding its strength all along, waiting for the Demoness to be injured so that it could deal with her, gain control of the relic space, and command all the demons.
After the Demoness returned, she set up a barrier and prepared to cultivate and heal.
However, not long after she began cultivating, the Spirit Demon General infiltrated.
Moreover, the Spirit Demon General, familiar with the place, easily broke through the barrier set up by the Demoness.
The Demoness looked at the Spirit Demon General in surprise, gasping for air.
"Hmph, I've always been wary of the Night Demon General and the Gold Demon General, but I underestimated you!" the Demoness chided herself.
"As a demon, one must be cunning, otherwise one wouldn't even know how they died. You underestimated me, which only means I've hidden myself deeply enough.
Well, considering how well you've treated me, as long as you hand over control of the relic space, I can spare your life!" the Spirit Demon General said confidently.
A flicker of disdain flashed in the Demoness's eyes, and she sneered:
"With you alone, without even making a move, you want me to hand over control of the relic space? Not a chance."
The Spirit Demon General said no more. It was well-prepared. With a wave of its hand, a brand-new barrier was erected, enveloping both itself and the Demoness.
The Demoness was startled by the sinister and terrifying barrier.
"Devil Seal!"
Devil Seal was a combination ultimate skill formed by multiple high-tier skills.
The Demoness had not fully mastered it, but the Spirit Demon General had performed it casually, indicating that the Spirit Demon General's strength was even greater than that of the uninjured Demoness.
"If I didn't have confidence, why would I dare to come looking for you!" the Spirit Demon General chuckled.
Then, the Spirit Demon General launched an attack on the Demoness.
When Zheng Dong arrived, the two had already been fighting for some time.
Through the barrier, Zheng Dong could see the situation of their battle.
The Devil Seal did not obstruct vision but blocked all energy fluctuations.
This meant that only by entering the Demoness's cultivation hall could one see the situation inside through the barrier.
From outside the hall, nothing could be sensed.
Facing the well-prepared Spirit Demon General, the Demoness suffered consecutive losses and was severely injured.
However, the Demoness was not to be trifled with either. She also injured the Spirit Demon General, and the barrier formed by the Devil Seal was about to be shattered by the Demoness.
As soon as the barrier broke, the Night Demon General and the Gold Demon General would rush over.
At that time, it would be difficult for the Spirit Demon General to kill the Demoness and gain control of the relic space.
This was because the Night Demon General and the Gold Demon General would not allow the Spirit Demon General to rise above them.
Therefore, the Spirit Demon General became anxious.
It had to kill the Demoness before the barrier shattered.
For this purpose, it unleashed high-tier skills consecutively.
The Demoness suffered fatal injuries and bled profusely.
However, she also used the skill Sinful Demon to completely shatter the barrier.
With the shattering of the barrier, immense energy fluctuations spread outwards like a tide, causing the entire hall to collapse.
The Demoness then looked at the Spirit Demon General with a mocking smile.
"You calculated everything, but in the end, you still failed."
Unfortunately, the Demoness did not have much time to gloat.
In the next second, she suffered a fatal blow.
Zheng Dong had the Overlord-level Dark Element Elf seize the opportunity to strike, directly killing the severely injured Demoness and taking her corpse away.
By the time the unwilling Spirit Demon General came to its senses, the Overlord-level Dark Element Elf had already disappeared.
As soon as the Spirit Demon General chased out, it encountered the Night Demon General and the Gold Demon General.
The Night Demon General and the Gold Demon General were not to be underestimated. Seeing the Spirit Demon General in such a state, they immediately understood that the Spirit Demon General had ambushed the Demoness.
"Spirit Demon General, where is Madam Demoness? Did you kill her?" the Night Demon General questioned.
The Gold Demon General's expression was grim. It had not expected the Spirit Demon General to get there first. It was secretly gathering its strength, preparing to attack the Spirit Demon General at any moment.
The Spirit Demon General frowned, "If I say that the Demoness was killed by a mysterious Overlord-level demon, would you believe me?"
"Do you believe that yourself? Besides you and me, who else is an Overlord? Anyone with the potential to become an Overlord doesn't live long; either you kill them, or I kill them," the Night Demon General sneered.
The Gold Demon General also nodded.
Only the Demon Zombie was an exception, a mixed-blood demon supported by the Demoness.
However, influenced by its bloodline, the Demon Zombie posed no threat to the Night Demon General and the others.
Therefore, the Night Demon General and the others tacitly accepted the Demon Zombie's existence.
Even if there were other Overlord-level demons, the Night Demon General and the Gold Demon General would not believe the Spirit Demon General at this time.
They even suspected that the demon who had blown up the demon side's defenses and fled into the inner city might have been the Spirit Demon General in disguise.
Had the Spirit Demon General defected to the Angel side long ago?
In this way, the Spirit Demon General was unable to defend itself.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Dong and the Dark Element Elf also left the outer city and arrived at the collapsed Demon Mountain.
The Demon Mountain had already collapsed, and it was unlikely that any demons would come here. It was relatively safe.
Subsequently, he took out the Demoness's corpse and searched for the key to control the relic space.
However, to Zheng Dong's surprise, the Demoness's corpse was slowly disappearing into dark element energy.
Perhaps it was because the Dark Element Elf had struck too hard and shattered it.
As the Demoness's corpse disappeared, the Dark Marrow Divine Crystals that the Demoness had left in her internal space, which she had not had time to refine, were revealed.
In addition, there was a Demon Stone, which was the Demoness's life crystal, and a broken hemispherical crystal shard.
Zheng Dong picked up the broken hemispherical crystal shard and learned that it was a part of the Divine Kingdom's Eye, through which he could gain control of the relic space.
The other part was in the Saintess's hands.
As soon as he used the Divine Kingdom's Eye, the Saintess would sense it.
Zheng Dong put it away.
He could not let the Saintess know that the Demoness was dead yet.
Next, he instructed the Overlord-level Dark Element Elf to absorb and refine the Demon Stone left by the Demoness.
If it could completely absorb and refine it, the Overlord-level Dark Element Elf's strength would increase significantly, making it no less inferior to demons like the Night Demon General, and it might even reach the Demoness's level.
Only then would he have a chance to deal with the Saintess.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
The Dark Element Elf refined the Demon Stone left by the Demoness, and its strength increased even more than Zheng Dong had anticipated, making it comparable to the uninjured Demoness.
As for the demon side, due to the Demoness's disappearance, the Night Demon General, Gold Demon General, and Spirit Demon General engaged in a fierce battle.
The internal conflict also attracted the attention of the Angel side.
After the Light Angel quickly understood the cause and effect, it felt that this was an opportunity to eliminate the demon side.
Immediately, it informed the Saintess, who was still healing.
The Saintess also felt that regardless of whether the Demoness was dead or alive, this was the best opportunity to deal with the demon side.
