Great Jin Territory.
The common folk gazed up at the sky, filled with tension and anticipation. As the shouts and battle cries of the Shizong Alliance and Great Jin soldiers erupted, countless hearts tightened instantly.
“The war has begun…”
“I see my son! He’s not a coward; he’s fighting bravely on the front lines!”
“Oh my god, Her Majesty the Empress is fighting twenty Morning Glow Great Beings alone! Wait… is she coughing up blood!?”
“That’s our Great Jin’s Guardian Beast, trampling the Shizong Alliance, enduring the bombardment of three Emperor Grade formations!”
“The foundation of the Shizong Alliance is too deep. Our army is at a disadvantage. Are we ultimately powerless to turn the tide…”
Great Jin’s high-end combat power was severely lacking, with only two to three hundred thousand ordinary soldiers, while the Shizong Alliance had millions. As soon as the war broke out, they were crushed.
Every moment, fearless soldiers fell, and more than half of the civil and military officials had perished.
“I am Yang Shande, the commander of the Great Jin Guardian Banner Battalion—let’s go to hell together!” A cultivator at the peak of the Moon Shine Realm roared and self-destructed, instantly taking out swathes of Shizong Alliance cultivators.
…
…
“Empress Qin Liuli seems to have a hidden ailment and cannot give her all. Fellow cultivators, half of you disperse to assist in slaughtering Great Jin’s soldiers and officials.”
Ten of the twenty Morning Glow Great Beings used their divine powers to break away from the battle circle, no longer entangling with the Empress, and headed elsewhere.
Dongfang Liuli’s peak aura waned again. After a brief burst, her body couldn’t bear the strain, and her spirit, infinitely close to the Sky-Reaching Realm, was under pressure, causing her to cough up blood uncontrollably.
“Since when did I become afraid of death?” Dongfang Liuli’s vision blurred, her smile was tragic and beautiful, filled with a sense of loss.
Given her current state, let alone fighting twenty Morning Glow Great Beings alone, even handling the twelve before her was difficult.
Unless she unleashed her full power without regard for the consequences, showing her strongest stance, but in that case, she would likely perish within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn.
In the past, Dongfang Liuli wouldn’t have hesitated, but now, her eyes glanced at the black-robed youth surrounded by the river of time and space, and she felt an unexpected sense of attachment and reluctance.
“Dongfang Liuli, surrender. If you are willing to submit and become my plaything, I can spare your life, hahaha…”
“Still looking at the Space-Time Sword Saint? He’s likely too occupied, held back by Young Master Ji. No one can save you now!”
“Surrender, Empress. The Shizong Alliance won’t kill you, but will imprison and humiliate you for eternity!”
“You will be the greatest prize of this Shizong Alliance campaign, hehehe…”
…
…
The twelve Morning Glow Great Beings wielded Emperor Grade spiritual treasures and even consumed life-burning pills to temporarily boost their strength.
Although the late-stage Morning Glow cultivators of the Shizong Alliance were almost wiped out by Meng Qingzhou, with the aid of pills, Emperor Grade spiritual treasures, and formations, these twelve early and mid-stage Morning Glow cultivators now possessed late-stage combat power.
“Thud!”
A long spear pierced through Dongfang Liuli’s shoulder blade, blood flowing, but her delicate face remained icy, showing no panic.
“Kill!”
Dongfang Liuli’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. She grabbed the spear shaft and snapped it, the wordless heavenly book above her head, charging forward once more.
In the fierce battle, Dongfang Liuli glanced over the vast battlefield, a hint of fatigue flashing in her eyes.
Is this battle… destined to be lost?
The Guardian Beast was besieged by millions of cultivators, three Emperor Grade formations, and hundreds of Moon Shine Realm experts.
Although these people couldn’t harm the Guardian Beast, they could entangle it, preventing it from aiding other battlefields.
In a brief moment, Dongfang Liuli saw many things.
She saw the City Lord of Resist the North City, Wu Shangpin, unleash his final brilliance, breaking through in battle, killing over a dozen half-step Morning Glow cultivators before leaning on his sword, his breath ceasing.
Minister of Personnel Fan Chen, merely at the Moon Shine Realm, was targeted by a Morning Glow Great Being at the start of the war, slapped into ashes.
Half of the Ten Heavenly Gods of the Ministry of War, who roamed around providing support, had fallen, dying from exhaustion rather than in battle.
The Minister of War, to protect a few soldiers, was severely injured in a sneak attack and had to self-destruct.
…
…
Familiar faces were disappearing.
Many of them were villagers from Present Village, never to be seen again.
The old man who often sat under the willow tree at the village entrance basking in the sun (Minister of Household Affairs), the old man who strolled around showing off his pet bird (Minister of Personnel), the Ten Heavenly Gods of the Ministry of War disguised as ten siblings, and Wu Shangpin, who never knew the Empress’ husband was the Sword Saint…
Even Li Guanyan was fighting fiercely, but Wang Xianjia was always slacking off, making it hard for him to hold the line alone, and he was now severely injured.
“Everyone, farewell.” Dongfang Liuli’s phoenix eyes remained calm, but her tone turned resolute:
“Today, no matter what, the Shizong Alliance must disappear from the Wilderness map!”
“Even if… we perish together!!”
…
…
The entire Wilderness, all forces were watching, casting their gaze from afar, deeply shocked.
Witnessing such an epic battle, many hidden Great Beings finally realized…
No one could stop the unification of the Wilderness. The prelude to the final battle had sounded.
And the fall of Great Jin would be the igniting fuse.
…
…
Just when all forces, including Great Jin soldiers and civilians, thought defeat was inevitable.
In the void light screen, on the battlefield of the Northern Snow Plains, from the flanks of the endless snow-capped mountains, a dozen skyships broke through the air, with flags clearly inscribed with two words: Shura!
A grand voice resounded: “The Shura Sect, with all its might, assists, paying respects to Her Majesty the Empress!”
“All ships, full speed ahead, charge into the enemy’s heart!”
“Full speed!!”
A dozen skyships, covering the sky, like lightning, tore through the void, crashing into the Shizong Alliance’s camp, causing a thunderous explosion.
Thousands of disciples from the Shura Sect, with blood-red eyes, like wolves among sheep, began a frenzied slaughter, even if heavily injured by the enemy, they would self-destruct their Dao fruits with their last breath.
And this, was just the beginning.
With the arrival of the Shura Sect’s support, it triggered a chain reaction. One after another, ultra-distance teleportation arrays lit up, and countless teleportation arrays shone on the vast snow plains.
Flags fluttered, bringing countless cultivators.
“The Cyan State Gathering of Heroes, paying respects to Her Majesty the Empress! Greetings to the Sword Saint!”
“Morning Glow Realm rogue cultivator, Lu Fengnian, with three disciples, paying respects to Her Majesty the Empress, greetings to the Sword Saint!”
“The entire Qingyun Sect assists Her Majesty the Empress!”
“The Sanqing Temple, paying respects to Her Majesty the Empress, greetings to the Sword Saint!”
“The Qiuli Merchant Alliance…”
“…”
Within the Great Jin Territory, all forces arrived at the scene, a torrent like rivers converging into the sea.
“Great Jin’s pillar, Qin Fenghuo, arriving late to the rescue!!”
With a roar, a comet fell from the starry sky, drawing a parabola, crashing into the enemy ranks, shaking the entire world!
Qin Fenghuo rose fiercely, his long blade sweeping, dominating all directions.
