Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth tremored as it wailed in mourning.
Kingdom of the Nine States, Gem State, Autumn Light City.
This was where the southern front of the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army was garrisoned.
The Southern Heavenly Gate had been destroyed, thus there were only one million troops stationed on the southern front.
They had initially thought that today was going to be another calm and peaceful day. Unexpectedly, however, the sky suddenly darkened. Immediately afterward, a sense of boundless grief welled up in their hearts.
This was an experienced army, and they all knew that this was a phenomenon triggered by the death of a Dao Integration Stage cultivator. However, no intense battles had broken out here, so where did this phenomenon come from?
The army of one million immediately swarmed onto the city walls and prepared for a battle. In fact, they even activated the city-protection spell formation in fear that their enemy would suddenly appear before them.
…
Meanwhile, at the Heavenly River State, Autumn Leaf City.
This was a large city located not far from the Abyss of Evil.
The tens of thousands of defending soldiers couldn’t help but tremble in fear as they looked at the thick swarm of Demons of h.e.l.l bearing down upon them.
The eyes of these Demons of h.e.l.l glowed red, and their wicked and crazed appearances made them appear even more terrifying than the Ant Tribe of yore. Most importantly, the size of their army was so large that it instilled a sense of despair in defending soldiers’ minds. It was impossible to count how many Demons of h.e.l.l had come. Anyhow, the entire Realm of White Sand was overflowing with their figures.
“General Lei Gong, they’re not going to come over, right?” a soldier asked shakily.
Lei Gong—a veteran general of the Heavenly Court who was currently holding a Divine Lightning Hammer and Immortal Lightning Nail—shook his head. “The Abyss of Evil is like a heavenly rift. They can’t cross over to our side, no matter how large their army.”
Just as he finished speaking, the earth suddenly started quaking violently.
Boom! Boom! Boom…!
The fissure that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers tremored ferociously. Then, like a healing wound on the earth, it started to converge together at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. The fissure became smaller and smaller, and in the end, it rapidly st.i.tched back together.
Under the terrified gazes of the tens of thousands of guarding soldiers, the Abyss of Evil that had existed for many tens of thousands of years actually converged and disappeared… The once gigantic fissure had now become an expanse of flat earth.
Lei Gong: “…”
Who can tell me… what on earth just happened?!
As though they were in a nightmare, the tens of thousands of guarding soldiers all wore dazed expressions.
“Only the Heavenly Earth G.o.d can easily trigger this type of dramatic change…” Dian Mu exclaimed shakily. “Hurry! Hurry up and contact the guarding soldiers on the western front! Request reinforcements!”
At this moment, a tremendous number of Demons of h.e.l.l were already lunging toward Autumn Light City.
The guarding soldiers felt their blood freeze.
They knew that even if the western front received news of this, it would still be too late for them to send reinforcements over. They were all going to die here, and the humans who resided in the southern region of the Kingdom of the Nine States would all be faced with a catastrophic crisis.
…
Within the boundless sea of light in the Eastern Heavenly Gate.
The Heavenly Light G.o.ddess appeared once again.
She had just arrived, but Heavenly G.o.d Ling Hua was already standing by the side with his head bowed and a respectful expression on his face.
“Heavenly Light G.o.ddess, the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect fired a Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Punishment Spear toward us not long ago. We can’t block it…” Heavenly G.o.d Ling Hua bit his lips as he spoke in a self-criticizing voice.
It appeared as if the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess had already foreseen this, and she asked calmly, “How were the losses?”
“More than half of the ten million Heavenly Human soldiers stationed at the Eastern Heavenly Gate have been killed or wounded. Only five million of them remain,” Ling Hua answered.
The Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ lips twitched imperceptibly.
They’re actually willing to tolerate such expenditure with such a measly army?
Although she knew that the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect would definitely seize her absence to launch an attack, she didn’t realize that it would be so ferocious!
“So be it…” The Heavenly Light G.o.ddess waved Heavenly G.o.d Ling Hua off.
Heavenly G.o.d Ling Hua flew off on his folded fan.
There was only the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess left in the sea of light.
“Night Monarch, huh…” the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess murmured. “The Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect is so full of talent… He killed the Heavenly Depravity G.o.d and also ruined my plans for the sinister devils… Sacrificing five million Heavenly Human soldiers for your life… was completely worth it!”
Her right hand slowly unclenched as she dropped it to her side. There was a black crack running across her smooth palm, and it was currently pulsating with a dark black aura.
…
In the southern region of the Kingdom of the Nine States.
Autumn Leaf City.
Despair gripped at the hearts of the guarding soldiers.
There was a look of frenzy and bloodl.u.s.t in the Heavenly Ant G.o.d’s eyes as he hovered above the center of the twenty million strong Demons of h.e.l.l army. “Come, we’ll ma.s.sacre Autumn Light City first! Slay and engulf every single human that you come across! Our earth-shattering strength will definitely send ripples through the entire continent!”
“Howl…”
“Kuchi, kuchi!”
“Huff…”
The demons let out a torrent of strange cries as they lunged toward Autumn Light City.
The tens of thousands of soldiers on the city wall also sprung into action.
“Hurry! Activate the spell formation!”
“Counterattack!”
A red city-protection formation rose up from the ground.
Streak after streak of brilliant spell techniques gushed out from the formation.
b.a.l.l.s of fire erupted as the spell techniques smashed into the Demons of h.e.l.l army, and thousands of Demons of h.e.l.l were instantly killed by the violent explosions.
However, such a tiny number of deaths barely caused a ripple in the twenty million strong Demons of h.e.l.l army.
“Heh… how laughably weak… Humans are also a weak and worthless tribe, and they don’t deserve to exist in this world!” A cruel smile played across the Heavenly Ant G.o.d’s lips. “I’ll give you demons two minutes to annihilate the human army!”
In the Heavenly Ant G.o.d’s eyes, the defenses of this city were pitifully weak. In fact, they were so weak that he couldn’t even be bothered to partic.i.p.ate in the battle himself.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The city-protection formation trembled and cracked as the Demons of h.e.l.l rammed against it. It looked as if it were going to crumble at any moment.
Once this spell formation crumbled, the soldiers of Autumn Leaf City would meet their doomsday.
“Hiss!” A gigantic Centipede Demon rammed a hole into the spell formation with its head. A sinister smile appeared on its pale white face, and the mouths on its tens of thousands of legs started to relentlessly gnaw away at the breach in the spell formation.
The guarding soldiers felt their flesh crawl as they looked at the monstrous centipede.
Lei Gong leaped into the air. Then, he furiously smashed his Divine Lightning Hammer toward his Immortal Lightning Nail.
Boom!
A formidable arc of lightning exploded through the void and crashed into the Centipede Demon’s head.
“Waah…” The Centipede Demon pulled its scorched head back in pain.
At this moment, however, hundreds of Demons of h.e.l.l who had similar auras to the Centipede Demon had already rammed into the spell formation and caused it to explode into shards.
“We’re done for…” Lei Gong’s hands shook uncontrollably as fright slowly permeated through his mind.
When he had been stationed here at the outset of the war, he had initially thought that this would be a relatively easy and stress-free position.
Now, however, what kind of f*cking enemies had he come across?!
He was the strongest member of the guarding troops, yet right now, there were hundreds of enemies who were just as, if not more, powerful than him! Not to mention, there was also the Heavenly Ant G.o.d.
“It’s finished.” The Heavenly Ant G.o.d smiled. He raised his b.u.m and sh*t out another egg in celebration.
“Starfire…
“Annihilation Cannon!”
A crisp female voice suddenly echoed through heaven and earth.
Immediately afterward, a vast expanse of stars suddenly plummeted down from the sky.
A purple galaxy that contained an unimaginable power crashed into the ground.
Boom!
A trail of death was ripped into the ground, and countless powerful Demons of h.e.l.l were engulfed by the billowing galaxy before they could even react. Their bodies were instantly burnt to crisp.
Immediately afterward, a colossal battles.h.i.+p that measured hundreds of kilometers in length hovered out from amid the galaxy.
Lei Gong shuddered violently, and he cried, “This is… this is the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Starfire Battles.h.i.+p!”
“Four Nine Immortal Sect!”
“Heavens! It’s reinforcements from the Four Nine Immortal Sect!”
As if it contained a magical power, the term “Four Nine Immortal Sect” instantly lit a flame of fighting will in the human soldiers’ despairing minds. They couldn’t help but shed tears of joy.
“It looks like we arrived at just the right moment.” The stunningly beautiful Xiao Hong—who was currently wearing a fiery-red dress—breathed a soft sigh of relief.
“Big Brother An is truly all-knowing and understanding of the enemy! The southern region of the Kingdom of the Nine States genuinely might’ve fallen into enemy hands if it weren’t for him preemptively telling us to come over here!” There was a look of reverence on Da Bai’s face.
“Blah blah blah…” Xue Zhantian struggled to maintain his presence as the words of praise were stolen from his mouth.
“Now, let them experience the true power of our Four Nine Immortal Sect!” A thick swarm of golden warheads appeared behind Xuanyuan Cheng as he thrust his arms open.
The Heavenly Ant G.o.d’s expression changed slightly as he looked toward the figures on the hovering battles.h.i.+p.
“Four Nine Immortal Sect? The number one power of the Kingdom of the Nine States? So be it. I’ll defeat you here and tread upon your corpses as I advance forward. That way, the Kingdom of the Nine States will soon be in my hands!”
The Heavenly Ant G.o.d pointed with his finger, and countless Demons of h.e.l.l immediately leaped into the sky and lunged toward the hovering Starfire Battles.h.i.+p!
