Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 179 The Wedding Robbery!

After demonstrating the astonishing scene of seizing control of the Moon Demon Pillar, Moonbeam gently swiped the Moonlight Key she had retrieved from Agares, once again opening the purple portal to the Holy Demon Continent.

“Father,” he said calmly but with an unquestionable tone, “please keep quiet about what happened today. Until my sister’s wedding, everything will remain as usual, and you will still be the Moon Demon God.”

"Wait!" Agares called out urgently, "What exactly do you want to do?"

“Let’s fulfill our long-cherished wish.” Moonbeam turned around, his eyes blazing. “It’s time to end the millennia-long war between humans and demons and completely change the future of both races.”

Agares' pupils contracted sharply, his voice urgent: "Don't be impulsive! Fengxiu's strength far exceeds your imagination, the terror of that million spiritual power..."

“Father,” Yuehui interrupted him, her voice steady and firm, “when have you ever seen me do something I wasn’t sure of? Now that I’m back, I naturally have the confidence to fight him.”

He gave Agares a deep look: "Please wait patiently. In six months, you will see a completely new world."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Agares called out urgently.

Yuehui paused, turned to look at her father, and waited for him to continue.

“Over the years, I’ve secretly built an organization whose members are all half-demon races who are loyal to humanity,” Agares said in a deep voice. “I think… this might be of some help to you.”

Yuehui paused slightly, then a knowing smile appeared on her lips.

"it is good."

……

After leaving the Moon Demon Palace, Moonlight quickly moved away from the Central Province until he reached a desolate wilderness, where he released Shu Yongxiao and the others from the Tower of Eternity.

"Where are the demons? Where are the enemies?" Shu Yongxiao gripped a short, gleaming blade tightly in his hand, his scarlet eyes scanning the surroundings sharply, but he could not sense the slightest trace of the demons.

“It’s over,” Moonbeam said calmly.

"That's it...? How boring." Shu Yongxiao pouted and reluctantly put away her weapon.

"Chairman, what is our next objective?" Xiao Huo stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

"The objective..." Moonbeam paused slightly, then said clearly, "To return to the Holy Temple Federation."

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and they all cast puzzled glances at him.

“I have ascertained the demons’ next move,” Moonbeam explained.

"Six months from now, Prince Abao of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan will marry Princess Yueye of the Moon Demon Clan. At that time, the high-end combat power of the Demon Clan's borders will definitely be weak, which will be the best opportunity for our Holy Temple Federation to launch a counterattack!"

Upon hearing the news that Yueye was going to marry into the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan, Long Haochen and the others all looked at Yuehui.

They all remembered that Yuehui had said that Yueye was his sworn sister.

Seeing that Yuehui's expression was as calm as still water, everyone swallowed back the words that were about to be spoken.

"Is the final battle finally about to begin?" Excitement ignited in Shu Yongxiao's eyes.

Moonlight nodded solemnly: "Let's go back to the Holy Temple Federation to assemble our troops and prepare for war!"

……

Upon returning to the Holy Temple Federation, Moonbeam immediately issued orders, commanding the six Holy Temples to fully prepare for the final battle.

He himself then stepped into the Tower of Eternity once again to begin his seclusion, focusing on digesting the soul energy captured by the Eternal Melody during this journey.

As for the Demon God Pillar, he no longer cared about it.

The reason is simple: whether it's seventy-one pillars or seven pillars, it makes no difference to him.

As long as the opponent cannot set up the [Ten Heavens and Nine Earths God-Slaying Formation], his strategic goal will have been achieved. Moreover, the Moon Demon Pillar is now under his control, and Cai'er is also able to control the Love Demon Pillar.

……

Time flies, and five and a half months have passed in the blink of an eye.

As the wedding day of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan Crown Prince and the Moon Demon Clan Princess approaches, the ninth-tier powerhouses on the Demon Clan's border are all setting off to return to the Central Plains Province.

In their view, the protracted holy war was far less important than this grand marriage alliance within their tribe.

Meanwhile, in the past six months, the Temple Federation has gathered almost all of humanity's top forces at the Southeast Fortress.

Sixty-three Eternal Heroes, six Temple Masters, Deputy Temple Masters, Elders, and numerous seventh and eighth-tier professionals have all gathered here.

This is the closest human pass to the Central Province of the Demon Realm!

"Report!" A messenger rushed over. "According to the scouts at the front, only a few eighth-tier demons remain in the demon camp. All the ninth-tier experts have been evacuated."

Moonlight's gaze swept over the vast army poised for battle below the fortress, his voice steady and resolute:
"Pass on my order—all troops, attack!"

"Yes!"

...

The army assembled this time was divided into five main legions, bringing together a total of 35,000 elite professionals!
The Federation's First through Fifth Legions adopted a unified organization: each legion consisted of four thousand warriors, one thousand knights, and five hundred assassins, mages, summoners, and priests.

With this as the core, and with more than 40,000 ordinary soldiers from various branches of the armed forces attached, they formed five full-strength corps, with a total strength of 250,000 men.

Of these 35,000 temple elites, all warrior professionals have reached level four or above, and the members of the other five temples all possess level five or above strength.

Sixty-three Eternal Heroes, seven members of the Eternal Dawn Demon Hunter Team, six Temple Masters, Deputy Temple Masters and Elders... more than a hundred ninth-tier powerhouses.

This is all the top-tier combat power that the Holy Temple Federation can currently mobilize!

At Yuehui's command, the massive city gate of the Southeast Fortress slowly rose.

Moonshine led the way, followed closely by the Eternal Dawn Demon Hunters, with the sixty-three Eternal Heroes following closely behind. The various temple lords each commanded their respective legions, leading their vast armies out of the pass like a tidal wave.

At this moment, a demon commander outside the pass is directing low-level demon troops, including dual-wielding demons, snake demons, and berserker demons, to attack the southeastern fortress.

When he saw the human warriors pouring out like a flood, he was stunned for a moment.

In his understanding, humans have always retreated behind passes to defend themselves, and even when they occasionally venture out of the city to engage in battle, they only send out small elite troops for probing attacks.

Such a scene of all-out attack and all forces coming out in full force was something that not only he, but probably even the powerful demons who returned to the Demon Capital to attend the Crown Prince's wedding would never have expected.

Over six thousand years of long battles have instilled in the demon race a deep-seated subconscious understanding:

Humans would never dare to fight a decisive battle with the demons!

The course of the battle was exactly as expected.

Before the overwhelming force of human warriors, the demonic border defenses were as fragile as paper, crumbling at the slightest touch.

With the overwhelming power of the sixty-three eternal heroes, not a single demon soldier was able to escape the entire battlefield.

All the low-ranking demons and their commanders were completely wiped out in a short period of time, with no survivors.

The absence of survivors means that the news has not leaked.

At this moment, the high-ranking officials in the Demon City, who were celebrating the marriage between the two races, were still immersed in the joy of the grand ceremony, completely unaware that the human race had launched a full-scale counterattack and that their forces were aimed directly at the heart of the demon race.

Moonlight's purpose was exceptionally clear:
A wedding robbery!

And take this opportunity to end this war that has lasted for six thousand years!
