183: The Infinite City Legion sweeping across the battlefield!

From the flank of the battlefield, a heavy and rhythmic roar echoed.

It wasn't the roar of artillery, but the resonance of tens of thousands of tons of steel simultaneously stepping on the earth.

From far to near, it ultimately transformed into a surging thunderstorm.

Tens of thousands of Abyssal Thunder Dragon Riders first appeared on the battlefield.

The leading knights spurred their mounts, launching a flank assault.

They did not directly charge the Dark Star Empire's most fortified Obsidian Destroyer line, but instead cut into the relatively weaker junction of the flesh puppet army and ranged units.

"Thunderous Charge!"

Long spears held level, man and mount as one, they transformed into streaks of blue lightning tearing through the battlefield.

Under the iron hooves of the Storm Dragon Horse, a three-second electrostatic field was stretched into a long death zone.

All Dark Star puppet armies caught within it convulsed, their movements stiff, and were then trampled into a bloody mess by the subsequent iron hooves.

"Thunder-Piercing Javelin!"

Tens of thousands of javelins, wreathed in electric light, were hurled, flying over friendly forces in front and landing in the rear of the Dark Star Legion.

Violent explosions erupted one after another, shattering the energy towers and spellcasting units that were providing support to the Obsidian Destroyer.

Closely following them was an iron phalanx formed by Wanren Halberd Guardss.

Their steps were swift, like a rapidly moving mountain, as they met the charge of the Obsidian Destroyer head-on.

"Halberd Blade Storm!"

The halberd guards in the front row rapidly spun their long halberds, and death-dealing disks, each three meters in radius, unfolded before the formation.

The hard bodies of the Obsidian Destroyer, upon contact with these high-speed cutting halberd blades, emitted piercing friction sounds and dazzling sparks, their forward momentum abruptly halted.

On the two flanks of the halberd guard line, twenty thousand Furnace Iron Guardss slammed their massive shields into the ground, constructing a true Copper Wall Iron Wall.

"Resonance Shield Strike!"

Rows of shields glowed with an earthy yellow light, and invisible shockwaves propagated forward.

The Obsidian Destroyer that had charged close were jolted, their tall bodies losing balance.

"Holy Silver Bulwark!"

The runes engraved on the shields simultaneously lit up, and a resilient silver light curtain enveloped the entire phalanx.

Energy beams poured down from the floating battle fortress, striking this silver light curtain, only to create ripples before silently dissipating.

At the very rear of the battlefield, tens of thousands of Lieting Archers drew their bows and nocked arrows.

"Hurricane Arrow!"

Dense arrows, with sharp whistling sounds, formed arrow storms, clearing out any stragglers attempting to bypass the front lines.

The most elite archers among them used their "Eagle Eye Lock" ability, targeting the Dark Star officers commanding the army.

Three thousand Spirit Healing Physicians were dispersed among the various battle groups; their presence was like a shot of adrenaline.

A sacred life aura covered the entire battlefield, and the soldiers' wounds healed at a visible rate, while their fatigue was swept away.

The pressure on Li Mo's position suddenly lessened.

He watched the army that had surged in from the flank, splitting the battlefield with overwhelming force, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly.

His comrades beside him, their expressions shifted from astonishment to ecstatic joy.

"It's... it's the Infinite City's army!"

"My heavens, what kind of cavalry is that..."

On the other side of the battlefield, General Wei punched a Dark Star Legendary, sending him flying, then took a quick look at the ground situation and burst into hearty laughter.

"Damn it... that kid Su Jin, he's given me another big surprise."

On the Youfeng Valley ground battlefield, a local advantage had already been established.

However, everyone knew that an advantage on the ground battlefield could not determine the ultimate outcome of this war.

The true decisive factor was in the sky.

......

Above the firmament, the color of the sky had long vanished.

One half was a black-gold domain constructed by the Dark Star Monarch with supreme might, where laws were twisted, and everything was heavy, oppressive, and filled with an absolute sense of dominance.

The other half was a pale world unfurled by Bai Xiao with his true name.

Everything there was heading towards an end; light, elements, and even space itself were slowly perishing under the will of "Annihilation."

"To touch the origin with laws and awaken one's true name, indeed not weak."

The Dark Star Monarch's voice echoed in the domain; every swing of the giant axe in his hand seemed capable of cleaving a continent.

Terrifying power stirred up spatial rifts, pressing down towards Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao remained silent, simply swinging his sword.

His sword, seemingly effortless, contained a profound quality that made even Legendaries tremble with fear.

The spatial rifts brought by the giant axe, upon touching the edge of his sword, were not shattered but "erased."

That section of space, along with the violent energy it contained, simply vanished into thin air, returning to nothingness.

"But the vast difference in rank is not something you can bridge, to force me to this extent."

"You... are worthy of pride."

For the first time, true battle intent flickered in the Dark Star Monarch's crimson pupils.

He no longer held back; on the axe blade, a black star, condensed from pure destruction laws, slowly took shape.

On the other side, the pale world behind Bai Xiao also began to contract inwards.

All the power of "Annihilation" converged onto the longsword in his hand.

The spiritual pressure around the sword body was so dense that space itself appeared distorted like water ripples.

On the ground, Apolosi had just bound the Thirteenth-tier Dark Star Legendary with chains of light, like a zongzi, and casually tossed him to the Alliance's sealing unit.

She looked up, gazing at the breathtaking duel in the sky.

Her gaze fell upon that solitary pale figure and lingered there for a long time.

Her eyes, containing a sun-like brilliance, reflected the tearing and destruction of the sky, and also that stubborn paleness.

The orb of light in her hand flickered, seemingly resonating in sync with every clash of sword and axe in the distant sky.

"Annihilation..."

A murmured whisper, like a dream, dissipated in the clamor of the battlefield.

Just as the Dark Star Monarch was about to hurl the star of destruction in his hand for the final clash with Bai Xiao.

His movements suddenly froze.

He did not look at Bai Xiao.

Instead, he turned his head.

And gazed towards Cloud City...
