1213: Chapter 1213 The army attacks, killing the enemy and destroying their spirit.

In the Meteorite Belt, the Blood Demon slowly withdrew his palm.

Vice Marshal Han Zhao's body had stopped struggling and was floating quietly in the Void Realm.

Along with the other two, Devilish Qi was eroding their bodies and Divine Souls. However, due to the trio's formidable strength, it would still take time.

The Blood Demon was not in a hurry; he just waited quietly. Behind him, one could vaguely see the Demon Beast Army approaching from the distance.

Lu Hongyuan's orders exploded in the main hall like a thunderclap. Messengers swarmed out, conveying the military orders in all directions.

"Radiant Star Domain's First, Third, and Fifth Legions, assemble immediately! Target: Meteorite Belt!"

"Houtu Sect's Mountain Guard, form ranks and attack!"

"Red Sun Star Domain's Phoenix Battalion, advance with the full army!"

"Black Cloud Empire's Black Armored Army, follow me into battle!"

The orders were passed down layer by layer, and the previously static silver torrent suddenly began to boil.

Hundreds of millions of soldiers channeled their spiritual power simultaneously. The Radiant runes on their armor bloomed with dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire Star Domain as if it were broad daylight.

Warship engines roared, spiritual cannons charged, and war flags flapped loudly—the solemn silver torrent had now transformed into an unstoppable torrent of destruction.

On the flagship, Lu Hongyuan's gaze was like iron as he quickly deployed his troops.

He knew deeply that the demonic transformation of Vice Marshal Han Zhao and the other two was accelerating. Every moment of delay made the hope of saving them dimmer.

"Gu Lie, Xiao Zhen!"

He turned abruptly, his gaze falling on two figures behind him whose auras were extremely deep.

The two figures stepped out in response.

Gu Lie, a Protector Elder of the Radiant Star Domain, Late Stage Fifth Rank. His "Heaven-Splitting Blade Art" shook the Star Domain; his blade technique was fierce and overbearing, having once shattered a small planet with a single strike.

He had a resolute face and tiger-like eyes filled with might, his body exuding an aura as sharp as a blade.

Xiao Zhen, a Protector Elder of the Radiant Star Domain, Late Stage Fifth Rank. He was famous for his "Demon-Suppressing Palm," a palm technique with powerful and heavy force, specifically designed to counter evil spirits and Devilish Qi.

He was burly with a cold expression, his iron palms covered in calluses with golden light faintly flowing over them.

"You two are to head to the Meteorite Belt immediately. No matter what—bring Vice Marshal Han Zhao and the other two back!"

Lu Hongyuan said in a deep voice, enunciating every word, "Empress Xi has vast Divine Abilities. As long as they are still alive, there is hope of saving them!"

Gu Lie and Xiao Zhen exchanged a glance and bowed in unison: "Understood!"

"Remember," Lu Hongyuan's gaze was like a blade, "The Blood Demon is for you two to deal with. If the situation becomes impossible..."

He paused, a flicker of pain passing through his eyes: "At the very least, do not let them live to become blades for the Demon Race!"

Gu Lie and Xiao Zhen's hearts trembled, and they nodded heavily.

They understood Lu Hongyuan's meaning—if they could not be saved, they would have to... end them personally.

The two said no more, their figures shooting out violently, turning into two streams of light and speeding toward the Meteorite Belt.

Their Late Stage Fifth Rank auras were released without reservation, like two scorching suns, carving two dazzling trajectories through the Void Realm.

Lu Hongyuan watched them leave, then turned to face the commanders of the various factions, his voice grave: "Everyone, the Radiant Star Domain has drawn its sword. Next—"

His gaze swept across those present: "Whether you join this righteous cause or sit on the sidelines waiting to see who wins, that is for you to decide. But I will say this clearly beforehand—after this battle, the Radiant Star Domain will only recognize allies who fought side-by-side, not bystanders who watched with folded arms."

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the commanders from the various factions changed slightly.

The words were blunt—if you don't contribute, don't expect a share of the spoils after the battle.

Sect Master Tuoba Shanyue was the first to stand up, his voice like a booming bell: "What is Vanguard Marshal Lu saying? Since my Houtu Sect has come, there is no reason for us to just watch the show!"

He turned abruptly and shouted to the messengers behind him: "Pass the order! The Mountain Guard's twelve peaks, the entire army attacks! I, the Sect Master, will meet those monsters personally!"

"Understood!"

Twelve mountain-sized warships started simultaneously, their golden light flaring up as they slowly pressed toward the Meteorite Belt.

The oppressive feeling, heavy as the earth, made the surrounding Void Realm tremble slightly.

Yang Wuji put away his fire-feather fan, the smile on his face completely gone, replaced by a stern expression. He raised his hand slightly, his voice not loud, yet it clearly entered the ears of every soldier of the Red Sun Star Domain: "Red Sun Army, follow me into battle."

Behind him, six figures stepped forward simultaneously, their auras connecting to form a sea of burning fire.

Thirty Phoenix warships opened their engines fully, the crimson firelight illuminating the southern Star Domain in a bright red, as they advanced at full speed toward the Meteorite Belt.

Hei Man still did not speak, but his pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand to make a gesture.

The Black Cloud Empire's black fleet started silently, like a silent viper, gliding quietly into the Void Realm.

Thousands of black warships maintained a strict formation, maneuvering to flank the Meteorite Belt.

The one-eyed strong man carried his giant axe and grinned: "Heh heh, now that's more like it!"

He waved a hand behind him, and the fleet of the Chaotic Star Domain rushed out in a chaotic mess, like a herd of wild horses off their leashes.

Some warships were fast as lightning, others slow as snails, but the dense aura of slaughter was not one bit weaker than the other factions.

The refined young man put away his bamboo scroll and nodded slightly: "Yunze Star Domain, attack."

The snow-white fleet, like a floating cloud of mist, advanced forward elegantly and composedly.

Unlike the chaotic disorder of the Chaotic Star Domain, the Yunze Star Domain's fleet maintained a strict formation, with every warship occupying its position perfectly, as if it were a meticulously arranged painting.

The Black-Robed Figure emitted a low hiss, and the translucent fleet of the Ghost Soul Star Domain merged silently into the Void Realm, flickering in and out of existence, drifting forward like ghosts.

No one could clearly see their specific location; they could only occasionally see beams of ghostly green light flashing and disappearing in the darkness.

The white-haired Elder held a horsetail whisk and gave it a light flick: "Star Constellation Heaven, form the Universal Star Array."

Twenty-eight giant warships lit up with brilliant starlight simultaneously, slowly rotating according to the positions of the stars in the universe.

Each warship emitted light of a different color, converging together like a miniature starry sky, beautiful yet deadly.

Eight great factions, eight great armies, converged from all directions toward the Meteorite Belt.

Silver, golden, crimson, pitch-black, chaotic, snow-white, translucent, and starlight-brilliant—eight colors, eight styles, yet all pointing toward the same target.

And in the depths of that Meteorite Belt, the Blood Demon was still waiting quietly.

Behind him, the bodies of Vice Marshal Han Zhao and the other two were being eroded bit by bit by the Devilish Qi, and black demonic patterns had already spread to their cheeks.

The expressions of the three were at times painful, at times ferocious, and at times bewildered, as if they were making a final struggle.

But the Blood Demon was not in a hurry.

He knew that the big fish... was about to take the bait.
