Within the central area of the continent, Gamma Country had formed an impenetrable fortress.
All the food storages from the Earth Country and all the resources from the other mostly destroyed countries had been gathered by the Gamma Country.
They had formed a direct transportation route to the Earth Country where food was harvested and the other destroyed countries were all looted and taken over by the Gamma Country,
Everything valuable had been taken back with them, as they prepared for the incoming threat.
Meanwhile, Angela, Ella, Angela's parents and the elites of all the countries spent the entire time diligently cultivating and training in preparation for the incoming demonic cultivation master.
Their army was incredibly large as they also cultivated thousands of Heaven Mortals and Sky Mortals, burning their resources at rapid rates to strengthen their army.
Angela had reached the peak of the Heaven Mortal Rank, but was struggling to break through into the Golden Mortal Rank no matter how many desperate times that she tried as she reached a bottleneck.
Meanwhile, Ella was at an unknown cultivation level and didn't reveal her strength and power, while nobody in the Gamma Country managed to breakthrough into the Golden Mortal Rank.
Their only option was to rely on Lex's power while they attempted to support him, as if he wasn't strong enough to defeat the demonic cultivation master, there wasn't any individual on the continent that could other than Ella.
However, Ella had made it obvious that she wouldn't intervene and was merely a support character while Lex had a role to fulfil and had to accomplish it no matter the cost, otherwise he would never be able to increase his strength.
They had gathered all the weak non-cultivators in the centre of the Gamma Country, that had become the continent's central fortress, while the powerful cultivators were stationed around the edge of the country.
The Earth Leader with some of his powerful subordinates took on one corner, the Gamma King with some of his powerful subordinates took on another corner, the Gamma Queen with some of her powerful subordinates took on the third corner, while Angela and Ella along with some powerful cultivators took on the final corner of the country.
They split their manpower as evenly as possible around the Outer Areas of the country, but they were still unsure of where they would be attacked from and whether their opponent was coming alone.
The main priority in their plan was to survive and protect the people in the centre of the country, while most of their plan relied on Lex as the one that was going to be capable of defeating the demonic cultivator.
However many were beginning to doubt this mysterious individual's ability, as he was yet to reveal himself to them or show how powerful he was.
Despite that Angela believed in Lex's ability and Ella was also sure that Lex's journey was far from over and this was merely a small step in his journey.
Angela was anxious as the estimated time had arrived, but on the surface above the Underground, Coves Lex sat cross-legged as he continued to cultivate, not worried about when the demonic cultivator was arriving.
He cultivated some of the Mental Void Method to clear his mind and ready his focus for the upcoming battle and made sure to practice withdrawing and placing beings and things from his Portable Sub-Dimension.
After his practice, he was able to withdraw 100 fox beasts instantly and it would only use 10% of his energy, while he had also practised his semi-teleportation.
He called it semi-teleportation as he had to rely on Eye Marks in order to teleport and in order to place the Spacial Mark, Lex needed to physically be in that position in space or touch where he wanted to leave his Spacial Mark.
He had also managed to grow the land in his Portable Sub-Dimension to 5 kilometres wide and 500 metres deep as his fox beasts gathered large amounts of beast cores that he placed within his Protable Sub-Dimension along with the beast meat they acquired.
With the increased size, the pond in the centre had also increased in size as the fox beasts began forming their own homes around the centre and outside of the bubble around the mysterious trinket.
They did that to save the space within the bubble for when Lex and other fox beasts wanted to cultivate within it at the same time, considering the amount of them that there were.
Over 200 of the fox beasts had broken into the Heaven Mortal Rank and were evenly spread around the units as the Unit Leaders were nearing the peak of the Heaven Mortal Rank.
Despite their cultivation level being bellow that of the deceased Beast Tribe Leaders, their strength was close to it as they cultivated both Internally and Externally, just like Lex did, and they had a unique constitution along with abilities that Lex had never seen before in beasts.
With the amount of energy their bodies had consumed from the beasts in the Underground Coves, the fox beasts were continuously increasing their strength as their body digested more and more of the energy. It was as if the fox beasts had an energy storage where they could save energy to be cultivated at a later date.
Lex knew how crucial the element of surprise was and felt his strength rising rapidly while cultivating in his Portable Sub-Dimension using the mysterious trinket, so thought of another way to reach the Gamma Country without having to take time to travel all the way.
Then it came to him, with his Spacial Marks there was an easy way for him to do so.
If he imprinted a Spacial Mark on one of his fox beasts, then he could order them to travel to the Gamma Country and head towards where they sensed a large amount of evil energy.
Then when Lex sensed anything unusual, he would teleport to his fox beast, allowing him to cultivate until then.
