Chapter 2077: The Flowers of the Battlefield
In the eastern region of the Tai Chu Continent.
Within Chen Xi City.
Pillars of pure white power of the heavens fell upon the earth, creating one deep crater after another, and countless powerful beings from the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army perished to the bombardment.
After suffering over ten million casualties, the Heavenly Human Tribe Army of a hundred million finally reached the city. The first protective formation around Chen Xi City was already riddled with holes from the Heavenly Humans’ attacks, and it was on the verge of collapse.
The Celestial Thearch stood at the forefront of the formation in a white imperial robe with golden edges. His aura was as vast as the ocean, and it surged forth like a tsunami, intimidating the opposing army, of which less than ninety million remained.
There were five Heavenly G.o.ds standing before him, all of which were exuding terrifying auras of their own, but the Celestial Thearch remained quite calm and collected.
He was a man who had seen everything, and the current situation was something that he could still handle!
Thinking back to when he had first arrived at the eastern front, nine Heavenly G.o.ds had suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and his legs almost gave out from under him. Thankfully, the four Heavenly G.o.ds under the Heavenly Light G.o.ddess’ command had already left. They were drawn away when the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Formation was set into motion, so there were only five Heavenly G.o.ds left on the battlefield, all of which were under the Heavenly Heaven G.o.d’s command.
They were the Heavenly Eternity G.o.d, Heavenly Karma G.o.d, Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d, Heavenly G.o.ddess Wu Lan, and Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long.
That was quite a fearsome lineup, but the Celestial Thearch felt like the situation was still under control. After all, he wasn’t the only one on the eastern front capable of combating Heavenly G.o.ds. Black Spirit Snake and White Spirit Snake could join forces to match a Heavenly G.o.d in battle, and the only Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure of the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas, Ao Xiaowu, was also able to hold off a Heavenly G.o.d on her own, albeit with difficulty. That left three Heavenly G.o.ds, which was a manageable number for the Celestial Thearch!
He was a being that was powerful enough to become a heavenly disciple of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect if he wished, and his understanding of heaven crus.h.i.+ng true intent was at an extremely high level. With the enhancement effect of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Formation, he could destroy one Heavenly G.o.d with ease. Even so, fighting three Heavenly G.o.ds was a little bit of a stretch, but not entirely implausible.
The Celestial Thearch had already released his paramount heaven crus.h.i.+ng true intent, and it was exactly because of this that the Heavenly G.o.ds hadn’t rushed toward the city. All of them were quite wary of him, and they chose to hang back in order to observe the situation.
“The formation around Chen Xi City is about to be broken, so let’s attack now! The enemies before us are far too weak to pose a threat against us anyway.” A young man with two sharp green spikes hanging from his waist suggested with a disdainful sneer on his face.
“No, the enemy appears to be quite weak, but they definitely have many trump cards. It would still be dangerous for us to rush in recklessly, so I suggest we wait and force out the enemy’s trump cards first…” a pet.i.te young woman countered. She had long silver hair, and her limbs were hidden within a golden turtle sh.e.l.l around her body.
Those two were the two Divine Heaven Stage Heavenly Humans, Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long and Heavenly G.o.ddess Wu Lan.
“Why are you always such a coward? You’re a Heavenly G.o.ddess; aren’t you ashamed to always be in that sh.e.l.l of yours?” Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long pursed his lips.
“You don’t know anything! I am simply observing the situation and using my brain so that I can grasp the entire battlefield,” Heavenly G.o.ddess Wu Lan replied in a calm and slow voice. Her head was half obscured by her turtle sh.e.l.l, and she was appraising the city wall of Chen Xi City with a pair of dead fish eyes.
Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long scoffed at her words as he turned his attention to the Celestial Thearch, and a smirk appeared on his face. “Alright, then you keep cowering here; I’m going to attack!”
Right at that moment, a tall and handsome man with long black hair held Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long back. “Wait for a while longer.”
Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long finally curbed his arrogance slightly upon seeing that man.
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d was the leader of the group. When conflicts in opinions arose, he was the one who made the final decision.
“Wu Lan’s idea is actually quite a good one. We only have to lie in wait and intimidate the most powerful beings among the enemy ranks. As for the other human cultivators, our Heavenly Human Tribe Army will crush them!” The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d wasn’t scared of any of the enemies they faced, but there was simply no need for them to attack yet.
Deploying their five most powerful beings into battle from the get-go was not a logical strategy. It was a far better idea to wait until their opponents began to use their trump cards, then swooping in to crush their final hopes.
The Heavenly s.p.a.ce G.o.d thoroughly enjoyed that process.
Heavenly G.o.d Dong Long repressed his urge to attack and turned to survey his companions.
There was a young woman hiding in her turtle sh.e.l.l, staring blankly at the city wall in the distance.
There was a little fat kid who was stuffing food relentlessly into his mouth, and he was completely disinterested in the battle as he glanced up into the sky from time to time.
The last one was even more absurd. Not only was he not talking, but he wasn’t even moving at all. He had a placid appearance, and his hands were making a strange seal. He was like a statue of a Buddha as he hovered in the sky, completely stationary. If it weren’t for the fact that there was a dark red divine halo above his head, one could easily mistake him for a normal statue.
Wu Lan, Karma, and Eternity. Those were some weird companions.
Dong Long turned his attention away from them and appraised the Celestial Thearch with disdain in his eyes. “That insolent human being is lucky that we’re allowing him to live this long. Look at his c.o.c.ky face; he’s really quite full of himself, isn’t he? Does he really think that he can hold off all of us on his own?”
In reality, that had never been the Celestial Thearch’s intention.
All he wanted was to simply strike a pose.
Furthermore, he had never intended to take on all of the Heavenly G.o.ds on his own; he only wanted to take on three of them.
The battle became more and more fierce.
Countless living beings were dying each and every second, and even the knowledgeable and experienced Celestial Thearch had never seen a battle with so much blood being shed.
All types of powerful spell techniques blossomed in the night, coloring heaven and earth a myriad of different colors.
All manners of ma.s.sive beastly projections appeared between heaven and earth, while top-tier spell techniques imbued with profound dao intent exploded…
The scene was like a shocking spectacle from an epic dream.
However, countless living beings were losing their lives to put on that spectacular show. Anyone could perish on that battlefield, even Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures.
The Celestial Immortal turned his attention to his seven precious daughters, Tian Shou, Tian Yang, Tian Rong, Tian Chang, Tian Xian, Tian Qing and Tian Yu. All of them made him extremely proud, and they had become Return to Void Stage Celestial Immortals. They were all considered to be among the most powerful beings on the battlefield.
All seven of them were fighting with all their might, and blood had stained their elegant dresses as well as their gorgeous features. There were even some terrifying spell techniques that had inflicted ghastly wounds upon their bodies, but none of them cowered or showed any sign of fear. Instead, they fought with even greater ferocity as the battle progressed.
The seven beautiful Celestial Maidens were like the flowers of the battlefield, perfectly epitomizing what it meant to be a valiant heroine!
The Celestial Thearch sighed with emotion upon seeing that. “Hmm… I’ve always wanted a son, but looking at it now, having a bunch of daughters is pretty good too…”
