Before the overwhelming forces of Heaven Breaching Fortress, alongside Ming Wenshu, the Diming Clanâs warriors knew very well that they stood no chance at all, but they too, did not foresee such a swift defeat.
When the monarch weaponsâ energy came rumbling at them, there was only a split second for Ming Wenshu to turn his head around, where the reinforcements were helping the survivors of Diming Clan into their ranks.
âBoy, fear not.â
He gave his son a warm smile and hugged him, âYour father is with you this timeâ¦.â
Hong hong hongâ
A second later, the energy wave arrived, swallowing them whole.
âClear the path and continue marching!â shouted Fu Li as he stood at the shipâs front deck.
Right away, Creators and Imperial Emperors marched out, clearing and dispersing the remaining energy rampaging on the land as the army continued the advancement.
With a nod from Zhong Yue, Jin Hexi stood up and shouted, âJinwu Division, march forth at the enemy camps and stomp over them!â
Yin Fanxuan stood up as well, âYinkang Navy! Fire the cannons, open up a path for Jinwu Division!â
Imperial Emperor Duo Yin, who was hugging her lute, added, âShield Wall Fortress! Raise the buildings and charge!â
âStar Torrent Division, lay waste to anyone who dares to stop us!â
âHeaven Riding Division, raise the Flying Fortresses!â
âYitian Divisionâs Flying Gliders, join Jinwu Divisonâs left flank and tear them all apart!â
âFeilong Divisionâs Dragon Riders, join Jinwu Divisonâs right flank and rip them all apart!â
â¦.
Sitting by the center of the main camp of the Heaven Courtâs reinforcement were the Wu Che Armyâs commander, Che Bifu, Ba Gu Armyâs commander Gu Suiqiu, San Qi Armyâs commander Bai Fengqi, and Si Xiang Armyâs commander Xiang Zuoyu.
These were the commanders of the four army divisions, amongst them, Wu Che Army was divided into five smaller camps, equipped with only war chariots. The Ba Gu Army was actually eight mountains, mainly responsible for the formations, San Qi Army was divided into left, right and center banner, focused on banner formations. The Si Xiang Army was divided into four formations mounting the Heavenly Deity level giant creatures.
Among the four army divisions, San Qi Army had already opened up its gates, taking in the survivors gradually, but before everyone could enter, the Heaven Breaching Fortressâ armies were already on the scene!
Bai Fengqiâs Yuan Shen secret realms rumbled as she took out a totem pillar when Mo Yin contacted her, âBannerlord Bai, my army is closing in fast and I will be reaching in no time! My only request for you is to hold off King Yiâs army! There will be no retreat, for this is the only chance we have to defeat King Yi! If you back off, we will be welcoming defeat onto ourselves!â
Bai Fengqiâs heart tightened hearing this, she quickly notified the other three and shouted, âMister Mo wants us to stand our ground and wait for his arrival!â
Che Bifu ordered right away, âOrder! Hold your ground with everything you have, no retreat!â
Gu Suiqiu shouted, âHold! Those who dare to run will be struck down immediately!â
Xiang Zuoyu roared, âSteady! Reinforcements are on their way!â
Hong longâ
Jinwu Division, whose speed was the quickest, crashed right into the San Qi Army, raising chaos as the powerful Jinwu Division revealed their true form of Golden Crows, dragging raging sunfire as they charged right into San Qi Army.
Fiery dragons dived in and out in the fire ocean, splattering flesh as they rampaged around and Golden Crows descended from the skies quickly, ripping flesh apart with their talons and beaks.
Then there were banners that emerged from the fire ocean, covering the land with their shadows, shrouding over the fire ocean and great sun as they enlarged. San Qi Armyâs warriors lurked within the banner ocean, used the formations as a cover, striking down their foes as they emerged from the dark, hunting down Golden Crows one after another.
At the same time, along with the Yitian Division, Yi Tianjun came charging in, cutting right through San Qi Armyâs ranks and with a screech, Yi Tianjun flanked them from the side and took over the control rights of the San Qi Armyâs gates.
On the other side, Long Zhi and the Fei Long Divisionâs Dragon Riders pierced into the enemy ranks from the right, activating the monarch weapon and helping controlling the gates.
The six brothers and sisters of Mu Xiantian all had a monarch weapon on them, all belonging to the trophy they accumulated from the previous war of thrones, except that from aiding Di Ming in acquiring the throne, they were now trying to remove him and help Mu Xiantian instead.
The three army divisions successfully occupied the three gates of San Qi Armyâs camps, from the left and right side came Wu Che Armyâs army right away, war chariots rumbled the ground as they came charging, only to be met with the raging water of Heavenly River, Yin Fukang had arrived with his Yinkang Navy!
The entire Wu Che Army was stalled by Yinkang Navy and to make things worse, the Star Torrent Fortressâ army arrived with the Human Sovereignâs army and had them all surrounded.
Ba Gu Army started laying out the formations right away, attempting to help their allies ward off the Yinkang Navy. But that was when Tai Feng and Jiao Teng struck out with their own army, keeping the Ba Gu Army away.
From the other side, the Si Xiang Army stomped the ground with their ancient yet massive creature mounts, these were all monster slaves bred by the Heaven Court, descendants of powerful monsters, each bearing almighty raw strength. When they charged into the battlefield, gods were mowed down like grass, and countless lives were gone in the blink of an eye.
Imperial Emperor Duo Yin and Fu Ya followed right behind them, soldiers of the Shield Wall Fortress and Heaven Ridingâs Flying Fortresses were sent flying towards these creatures, ramming them down with brute force. As these creatures lost their balance, the soldiers launched a barrage of attacks towards the creatures while their comrades marched out, using the barrage as a cover to swarm the creatures.
Weng weng wengâ
The four army divisionsâ formation was completed, four alluring star rivers spread out in the skies, just like a monarch with Four Paths Reincarnation. However, the star river belonging to San Qi Army was very dim for it was being invaded while the other three were in good condition.
Just as the four star rivers started running, shadows flew into them and their operation was halted by monarch weapons.
This fight was much tougher compared to the one where they wiped out the Diming and Wuming Clan; one was entirely unprepared, and the other was affected by the Wuming Clan, which made them an easy target.
But when it came to the four army divisions from the Heaven Court, Zhong Yueâs men was having some difficulty.
Jin Hexi, who remained at the back started giving out orders, shifting the divisionsâ positions, and sent out Bi An, Nu Fang, Mu Suge and the others, each leading an army into the battlefield and surrounding San Qi Army.
With them dispatched into the battlefield, only 20,000,000 Xian Tian Royal Guards remained.
âMo Yin wants to buy time by having the four army divisions stop me here so that he can cut me off from the back⦠How naiveâ¦â
Zhong Yue stood up and looked towards Jin Hexi, âHow can he possibly know that what I am best at is assassination? Hexi, you will be in charge of the battle from now on. Chi Song, raise the Stone Sentinel Maze!â
Xian Tian Royal Guards immediately activated the Stone Sentinel Maze and through it, Zhong Yueâs strength increased rapidly, pushing him into the Imperial Emperor level, seven light wheels emerged behind his head, the Space Secret Realm opened and cut through the dimensions. With a simple step forward, Zhong Yue vanished into thin air along with the Xian Tian Royal Guards!
Meanwhile, Jin Hexi continued controlling the soldiersâ movements, signaled them to attack in the formations of the Golden Crowsâ martial arts to tear the battlefield apart.
Suddenly, Bai Fengqi, who was fighting against Yi Tianjun, felt a stinging pain, as if there were a needle being stabbed right into her forehead. This startled her and she quickly backed off right after forcing Yi Tianjun away!
As she backed off, she swung the banner she yielded, which although not as strong as a monarch weapon, was still dangerously powerful after being refined and worshiped by San Qi Army. In addition to her peak Imperial Emperor strength, this swing was enough to shatter the void behind her!
There were three banners in the San Qi Army, with these three banners all held in her hands, she swung them towards Yi Tianjun. When this happened, even with the monarch weapon, Yi Tianjun found himself unable to take his lady down for she was really a formidable opponent!
At the same time, a mark flew out from deep dimensions, landed onto the banners and the soaring energy within the banners went silent.
It was Tian Yin.
This Tian Yin was not Zhong Yueâs skill, but the Treasure of Heavenly Daos created from the power harnessed from all of the experts in the Heaven Breaching Fortress. The Tian Yin rivaled any monarch weapon easily but was even more wonderful than the monarch weapons.
With the banners suppressed, Zhong Yueâs sabers flashed across the scene, dragging Bai Fengqi and Yi Tianjun into the Seven Paths Reincarnation, giving them a shock when the surroundings changed suddenly with six star rivers hanging in the skies.
Oh no!
Bai Fengqiâs expression changed drastically and the banners were swung at the star rivers, splitting them apart as she flew away only to be met with a few saber strikes that aimed directly on her neck.
With a roar, she retracted the banners to her side and fended off the sabers but not without suffering some injuries. She horridly saw Yi Tianjun charging towards her, attacking her alongside the sabers.
As the battle progressed, the sabers slowly wore out the bannersâ durability and their owner, Bai Fengqi, was also covered in injuries, shaking her further. That was when Yi Tianjun saw an opening and raised his monarch weapon and struck directly onto her forehead.
Bai Fengqi screamed as a spiritual pearl pierced right out from her head and continued spinning on the spot when Bai Fengqi fled. Though her speed was quick, with every spin, the blood and essence within Bai Fengqiâs body and mind was slowly being drained into the pearl.
Upon feeling the abnormal status on herself, Bai Fengqi turned into a white vermillion, which could unleash her quickest speed, but the further she flew, the weaker she got. In the end, her blood and essence was sucked dry, and her body inflated like a balloon. What remained was an empty body.
With a happy laugh, Yi Tianjun summoned the pearl back and the pearl was dyed bloody red with the peak Imperial Emperorâs blood and essence.
Zhong Yue dispersed the Great Six Paths Reincarnation and disappeared with the Xian Tian Royal Guards while without Bai Fengqi, San Qi Armyâs formation crumbled quickly and they got trapped by Yi Tianjun and the others.
Wu Che Armyâs commander, Che Bifu arrived on the field riding on the chariot, avoided direct confrontation with Yinkang Navy, Star Torrent Fortressâs and Human Sovereignâs army, even the Suppression Heavenly River Cauldron couldnât slow Che Bifuâs speed.
With their intense speed, these chariots dived in and out of the battlefield, making them hard to deal with.
All of a sudden, Che Bifu grunted as a mark that appeared from nowhere slammed onto his face, causing him to lose control of the chariot and alongside his ride, they crashed and rolled around, giving Yin Fukang, Fu Li and the others the chance to surround him.
Che Bifu activated his chariot again and just when he was about to exit the Heavenly River Suppression Fortressâ suppression, another mark came slamming onto his face again, causing him to crash once more.
âDamn you! King Yi! Stop your cowardly move and face me head on!â
After recovering, Che Bifu found himself trapped again and he smirked, âBring it on! I will take you all with me! Come on!â
A drop of sweat fell onto the ground and a ferocious battle erupted right away. Che Bifu was indeed very powerful, he was so strong that even when he lost the upper hand and was covered in injuries, he was still able to injure Yin Fukang and the others; he may be badly injured, but he was still capable of dragging a few down with him into hell.
Especially against Fu Li, Jiang Yiqi who recently became an Imperial Emperor, their cultivation level decided that they were no match against peak Imperial Emperor like Che Bifu. Just as Che Bifu was about to throw everything into the battle, thirteen saber strikes tore the dimensions apart and landed on him!
âDamn you King Yi! You played dirty againâ¦.â
Standing on the chariot, Che Bifu shouted and his body and soul was cut into pieces, claiming his life right away!
