An Lin looked up into the sky toward the southern direction. “Let’s go!”
The cry of a phoenix erupted throughout the heavens.
Divine Flames extended into infinity and beyond, as if it were laying out a red carpet.
All of the disciples witnessed the marvelous spectacle of the phoenix flying out from the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
However, what they didn’t see was that there was a small team of about a dozen or so powerful beings on its back.
They were the southern front extermination team that would destroy the Heavenly Human Tribe army on the southern front!
…
In the Gem State of the Kingdom of the Nine States.
Qiu Guang City was a large city on the border of the Gem State. Its stalwart city wall stretched for over five hundred kilometers like a massive, undulating dragon. A massive yin-yang slaughter spell formation enshrouded the entire city, which when activated at full power, could produce an attack that was comparable to a full-force strike from a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure.
This was once the largest city in the Gem State.
It was also the home of one of the Nine Imperials, the Divine Agriculture Imperial Family.
However, this city had been reduced to a sea of flames.
The formation had been broken, and the imperial palace had been razed to the ground. Countless living beings perished amid agonized wails and bloodcurdling cries as blood painted the entire city crimson.
Several million cultivators of the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army perished here, but their valiant efforts were still unable to keep the crushing Heavenly Human Tribe army at bay.
What followed was a spree of heinous slaughter!
Qiu Guang City was a massive city, and close to a hundred million humans were wailing with anguish and despair. They had no time to run away in the face of a mighty army of thirty million. All of them had their bodies punctured by pillars of holy, white light, or had their blood sucked dry by crimson-robed beings with golden hair and crimson eyes, or were latched onto by ghostly shadows before having their vitality sucked away in horror and despair…
Blood, despair, death…
Countless lives were being recklessly stomped upon.
The enemy army didn’t seem to be planning to leave anyone alive. It appeared as if they were determined to reduce the entire Qiu Guang City into a city of death!
This was one of the Heavenly Human Tribe’s decrees. All places their army passed through must be devoid of human life once they left!
An army of thirty million was an extremely terrifying force.
Even after that intense battle, only just over three million of them perished. There were still more than twenty-six million soldiers, six million of which were slaughtering the living beings within the city, while the other twenty million continued to hunt down the fleeing Kingdom of the Nine States United Army forces.
The Heavenly Human Tribe had deployed their entire army on the southern front, and with the help of the Blood Tribe and the Void Spirit Tribe, they were able to break through the defensive line of the Spirit Lake Realm and continued onward with unstoppable force, painting the Kingdom of the Nine States red with blood and appearing as if they were going to be the decisive force in this ongoing battle of several decades.
The cold and emotionless Heavenly Human Tribe, the bloodthirsty and violent Blood Tribe, the twisted and insane Void Spirit Tribe. All of them became nightmares for the Kingdom of the Nine States, and its human inhabitants could only resist and struggle in futility.
The Snake Spirit Clan of the Spirit Lake Realm was also suffering from extremely violent attacks, and all of the armies were retreating frantically. Who was going to save them?
A young man protecting his city with his life had his head punctured by a pillar of light. A child howled tearfully on the ground before having their blood sucked dry by a Blood Tribe cultivator. A limping elderly man was tortured by a Void Spirit Tribe cultivator until his soul crumbled, and he literally died from fear…
This was a one-sided slaughter.
Qiu Guang City had been reduced to hell on earth.
Meanwhile, at Nan Chao City, which was located about fifteen thousand kilometers away from Qiu Guang City.
This was the second largest city of the Gem State and also an extremely important entry point into the Kingdom of the Nine States. The human army had established a second defensive line here.
Emperor Chang Sheng of the Heavenly Court had set up an extremely powerful Dao Integration Stage formation in this city. He was joined by Sect Leader Zhu Xuze and Grand Elder Situ Feng of the Vermilion Bird Sect, as well as a group of Return to Void Stage mighty figures, leading over five million cultivators in a defense on the city wall.
This was a very powerful army.
However, all of them wore extremely grave expressions. It was a bright and beautiful sunny day, but everyone felt like there were infinite dark clouds overhead. Some of the more mentally fragile cultivators were even trembling uncontrollably.
They were going to face several hundred Soul Piercing Stage generals, about a dozen or so Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals, and even a legendary Divine Heaven Stage powerful being and a Heavenly God… Aside from that, there were also the Blood Tribe and Void Spirit Tribe armies…
Even though the Snake Spirit Clan of the Spirit Lake Realm had alleviated some of their pressure, they were still going to be confronted by a crushingly overwhelming force.
“Is there anyone from anywhere else that can provide reinforcements?” Zhu Xuze’s entire body was stained by blood, and he asked with a grave expression.
Emperor Chang Sheng shook his head with an expression that was equally as grave. “It’s as if all of the Heavenly Human Tribe armies have communicated with one another in advance. Large scale battles have erupted on all fronts. It seems like… they don’t want to keep waiting anymore.”
Zhu Xuze fell silent upon hearing this.
The human race had always been on the back foot since the beginning of this war.
If it weren’t for the fact that their enemies had always proceeded with caution as they were wary of the Heaven Crushing Sect and the Gods of Creation, this war would have most likely been over already…
But now, were they finally going to change their plan of attack?
“The Four Nine Immortal Sect still has a few top-rate powerful beings, what do they say?” Situ Feng asked.
Any assistance would be better than none now.
“I can’t get through to them via voice transmission talisman…” A disappointed expression appeared on Zhu Xuze’s face.
The current situation was that the enemy was far too powerful, and no matter how or what they did, their forces simply couldn’t compare. It was very likely that all of them were going to perish in this final stand.
The cultivators on the city wall took up a defensive formation again, but the atmosphere had become extremely heavy and gloomy.
They couldn’t retreat from this battle. If Nan Chao City fell, the Kingdom of the Nine States was going to be struck by a cataclysmic disaster in which tens of billions of human lives would be erased!
Amid the oppressive atmosphere, a voice suddenly sounded.
“Our goddess will come for us.”
This was a clear, gentle voice.
Zhu Xuze raised his head and turned around to discover a handsome man with a powerful aura behind him.
He knew that this man was Adam of the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Realm Pavilion, a mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage with insane combat prowess. He was basically invincible below Dao Integration Stage, and if he fought with his wife, Eve, their combined powers could even defeat a Heaven Pioneer Stage Great General of the Heavenly Human Tribe.
“Our goddess will lead us toward victory for sure.” An extremely beautiful woman made her way over to them with firm conviction written all over her face.
This woman was Eve of the Realm Pavilion.
Their blind confidence seemed to be contagious, and for some reason, even Zhu Xuze was feeling a bit more relaxed.
Their goddess…
She was mysterious, powerful, and revered by countless powerful beings. She really could be referred to as a goddess. However, an extraordinary woman like her was only a beast pet of that legendary man. If that man was here, perhaps he would be able to summon a miracle like he always did to defend this city…
Zhu Xuze looked up into the sky with a reminiscent expression.
Boom boom boom!
Divine lightning suddenly exploded in the sky, as if the heavens were delivering an enraged tribulation.
The pristine, white heavens, the crimson earth, the inky-black air… All of these were quickly drawing closer to Nan Chao City.
Zhu Xuze took a deep breath. “They’re here!”
