The Serpent-man Beast God knew he couldn't force his way in.
If he attacked directly, he could indeed destroy the defensive formation.
However, this would also wake everyone in the capital, and the entire Immortal-Demon Kingdom would know someone had broken in.
How then could he uncover the secrets of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom?
As a deity, he possessed some intelligence.
But his intelligence was limited to this, and he lacked any special skills.
Thus, his only solution was to wait.
If he couldn't sneak in tonight, he would wait until tomorrow.
He believed he could find a weakness in the formation tomorrow and slip in through it instantly.
As long as he could enter the kingdom's stables, he would find the ruler's secret.
With his peak High-grade Divine Realm strength, he could surely suppress the ruler and extract his soul.
After all, this kingdom's ruler was merely a weakling whose strength did not exceed the Middle-grade Divine Realm.
He thought this while extending his divine sense, carefully probing the formation for any cracks or weak points.
However, Ming Guang was unaware that as soon as he appeared above the Immortal-Demon Capital, a pair of eyes had fixed upon him.
These eyes belonged to Mo Youyou, a special Immortal-Demon Nether Demoness recently reborn by Xiao Mo.
Following Xiao Mo's orders, Mo Youyou had been guarding the void above the capital.
Hidden behind the void's barrier, she observed Ming Guang's every move.
Being separated by the void barrier, Ming Guang had no idea he was being watched and had no premonition of it.
He thought he was well-hidden, never imagining someone was monitoring his every action from behind the void barrier.
At this moment, in the royal palace hall, Xiao Mo received Mo Youyou's report.
Upon waking, he decisively sat up in bed.
Xian Qing'er, also on the bed, was startled by Xiao Mo's movement and sat up in confusion, the silk comforter slowly sliding down, revealing a spring scene in the chamber.
"Holy Lord, what has happened?"
Xiao Mo glanced at Xian Qing'er, smiled faintly, and said, "A Faith Beast God at the peak of the High-grade Divine Realm is outside, probing the Immortal-Demon Kingdom. He seems to have ill intentions. I'm going out to investigate!"
Xian Qing'er's expression shifted slightly in surprise, "A peak High-grade Divine Realm!"
Her current strength was only Middle-grade Divine Realm.
Though the difference was only a single word, the power of divine energy was vastly different.
A High-grade Divine Realm could easily crush dozens of Middle-grade Divine Realms.
Even with the innate advantage of Immortal-Demons, which allowed them to challenge higher ranks, this gap was insurmountable.
Therefore, to her, a High-grade Divine Realm Faith Beast God was an extremely powerful enemy.
Xiao Mo saw through Xian Qing'er's thoughts and comforted her, "Don't worry, Mo Youyou is outside. Her strength can easily overwhelm this Faith Beast God."
"The reason I haven't had her act is that I want to see if this Faith Beast God has any companions. If he does, we can catch them all in one net!"
Xiao Mo didn't just want to kill one Faith Beast God, but all the deities orchestrating this war from behind the scenes.
This included the God of Slaughter and the God of Death.
If the God of Slaughter and the God of Death arrived tonight, it would be perfect.
After all, based on the timeline, Xian'er's promotion should be nearing completion.
Once Xian'er successfully advanced, combined with Mo Youyou, they would have the chance to kill both the God of Slaughter and the God of Death.
Coupled with the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City guarding the skies above, capturing all the invading deities should be a simple matter.
Then, both of them ascended to the top floor of the royal palace hall, quietly awaiting the enemy's arrival.
Meanwhile.
All the deities under Xiao Mo's command had also assembled.
Except for Mu Ya, all the others were Immortal-Demons, each radiating a terrifying divine might.
In total, there were over twenty deities.
Although the vast majority of them were newly promoted Low-grade Divine Realms, such a number was still astonishing.
Moreover, Xiao Mo now had no shortage of God-King level Immortal-Demons.
If this news were to spread, it would surely shock billions of lords to their core.
Their domain forces had only descended upon the Primordial Continent for less than a month.
Xiao Mo already possessed over twenty Divine Realm troops, which was enough to shock the entire Primordial Continent.
As time ticked by, the dim moon gradually disappeared, and the sun finally rose.
The night passed, and the Serpent-man Beast God Ming Guang remained inactive.
This was not due to his exceptional patience, but because he still couldn't find any weak points or flaws in the defensive formation.
Moreover, a mere night was nothing to deities; it passed in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, he could afford to wait.
As long as he could wait for the opportune moment, he could silently infiltrate the Immortal-Demon Capital.
After all, his purpose here was not to immediately engage the deities of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom in battle, but merely to uncover the secret behind the rapid development of Xiao Mo's Immortal-Demon Kingdom.
This secret was not only desired by the God of Slaughter and the God of Death, but by almost all deities.
Therefore, Ming Guang planned to wait patiently.
"A new day, and the war is about to begin. The deities of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom will most likely head to the battlefield with their armies!"
Ming Guang looked down at the capital and muttered to himself, "If there's no other way, I'll just forcefully destroy the formation, capture the ruler of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom, and then take him elsewhere to extract his soul. The effect will be the same!"
In any case, he was determined to accomplish this mission and couldn't return empty-handed.
Up to this point, Ming Guang was still unaware that his every action was being monitored by the Nether Demoness Mo Youyou and known to Xiao Mo.
Due to the formation's interference, Ming Guang couldn't sense how many deities were below.
To be precise, he still hadn't figured out the situation within the Immortal-Demon Kingdom.
However, he believed his own strength was formidable and didn't take the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's deities seriously.
In his view, no matter how the situation unfolded, he could always retreat safely and soundly.
He couldn't help but admire the person who set up the formation.
Being able to create such a powerful formation with no discernible flaws was truly remarkable.
It seemed that at the critical moment, he would have to break through the formation by force and capture the King of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom!
Then, Ming Guang took a deep breath and planned to quietly wait for all the deities of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom to leave before making his move.
However, while he had the patience to wait, Xiao Mo did not wish to wait any longer.
He had already waited for a night, and not a shadow of another Faith God had appeared. He figured further waiting would be futile.
"Mo Youyou, prepare to act. Extract all the secrets from his mouth, and then kill him!"
Xiao Mo communicated with Mo Youyou through divine sense, intending for her to strike and kill Ming Guang.
At that moment, a terrifying divine might emanated from the center of the capital.
This divine might inspired a sense of worship in everyone in the Immortal-Demon Kingdom except for Xiao Mo.
Sensing this familiar divine might, a hint of excitement appeared on Xiao Mo's lips.
It had finally succeeded!
