1219: Chapter 1219 The army mobilizes, with fifth-tier foundation

The Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon exchanged a glance, both seeing determination in the other's eyes.

"It is time to leave," the Heavenly Demon whispered.

The Blood Demon nodded, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

But he knew that if they dragged this out any longer, once the reinforcements from the Radiant Star Domain arrived, they would not be able to leave.

"What a pity..." He glanced at Elder Gu Lie, a cold sneer curling his lips. "I will spare your life today, but next time, I will definitely take your head!"

Before the words even faded, the Heavenly Demon's wings snapped open, and feathers filled the sky, pouring down once again like a torrential rain!

But this time, it was not an attack, but cover—the feathers shot out in all directions, weaving into a massive black web that temporarily trapped Elder Gu Lie and Xiao Zhen!

The Blood Demon retreated rapidly, arriving beside the corpses of the two Tier 5 Demon Generals. With a wave of his hand, he absorbed all the strands of blood Qi.

"Let's go!" The two turned simultaneously, transforming into two streaks of light, shooting rapidly toward the direction of the Demon Beast Army!

"Don't you dare run!" Elder Gu Lie roared. He slashed through the black web with his blade, intending to pursue them.

However, the feathers fired by the Heavenly Demon were too dense; while they could not harm him, they were enough to delay him for a moment.

By the time he broke through the blockade, the figures of the Blood Demon and the Heavenly Demon had already vanished into the vast Void Realm.

Elder Gu Lie and Xiao Zhen stood side by side, staring at the direction in which the two had vanished, their faces livid.

In the distance, dozens of powerful auras were drawing closer. The reinforcements from the Radiant Star Domain had finally arrived.

Lu Hongyuan was the first to step out of the Void Realm, followed closely by dozens of powerful auras.

Five Tier 5 Late Stage powerhouses, twelve Tier 5 Middle Stage powerhouses—a total of eighteen Tier 5 Powerhouses descended upon the Meteorite Belt like meteors!

Behind them, a silver torrent covered the sky and earth. Hundreds of millions of Radiant troops were arrayed in strict battle formations, war flags fluttering, with Killing Intent soaring to the heavens.

The roar of the warship engines converged into a deafening wave of sound, and the charging light of the Spirit Light Cannons illuminated the entire Star Domain as if it were broad daylight.

"Are you alright?" Lu Hongyuan landed in front of Elder Gu Lie and Xiao Zhen, asking in a deep voice while his gaze swept quickly over them.

Elder Gu Lie and Xiao Zhen shook their heads simultaneously, though their faces remained livid.

"It was our carelessness." Elder Gu Lie gritted his teeth, his voice filled with deep self-reproach. "If we had known the Blood Demon's intentions earlier, Vice Marshal Han Zhao and the others..."

He paused, unable to continue. The remains of Vice Marshal Han Zhao and the other two were currently floating in the nearby Void Realm, shriveled and withered, beyond recognition.

The Blood Demon had deliberately left them intact as a warning to the powerhouses of the Radiant Star Domain.

"We are willing to accept punishment," Xiao Zhen whispered, his fists clenched tightly.

Lu Hongyuan shook his head, his gaze passing over the two and looking toward the direction where the Blood Demon and the Heavenly Demon had vanished.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." His voice was as heavy and solid as iron. "Vice Marshal Han Zhao and the others' revenge will be avenged. But now—"

He turned around, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's, scanning the black-red tide approaching in the distance.

"What comes next is the true battle."

He took a deep breath, his voice rising sharply, exploding in the Void Realm like a thunderclap: "Everyone, prepare yourselves!"

— Before the words even faded, earth-shaking roars erupted from all directions.

The twelve mountain warships of the Houtu Sect slowly pressed forward, their golden radiance as heavy and steady as the earth itself.

On the warships, the Houtu Sect Disciples stood in formation, shields and halberds like a forest, their auras merging into one, resembling an insurmountable wall of bronze and iron.

The thirty Phoenix warships of the Red Sun Star Domain advanced at full speed, their crimson fire lighting up the southern Star Domain in a brilliant red.

On the warships, the Red Sun soldiers wore fiery red armor and held blazing spears, their bodies glowing with intense spirit light, like a burning sea of fire.

The black fleet of the Black Cloud Empire slid silently into the battlefield, thousands of black warships maintaining a strict formation, the black runes on their hulls exuding a chilling aura of darkness.

The black-armored soldiers wore ghost masks, silent as ghosts, yet their Killing Intent was as sharp as a blade.

The fleet of the Chaotic Star Domain was like a herd of wild horses running free, with all kinds of warships mixed together, yet they exuded an aura of slaughter that was in no way inferior to any other faction.

The one-eyed burly man carried a giant axe, grinning broadly, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty excitement.

The pristine white fleet of the Yunze Star Domain was elegant and composed, with every warship occupying its position perfectly, like a meticulously arranged painting.

The refined young man held a bamboo scroll, wearing a smile, yet his gaze was as cold as ice.

The translucent fleet of the Ghost Star Domain flickered in and out of existence, floating in the Void Realm like phantoms.

Eerie green light flashed and vanished in the darkness, making it impossible to pinpoint their exact location.

The twenty-eight giant warships of Xingsu Heaven slowly rotated according to the positions of the heavenly constellations, each warship emitting a different colored light, which converged together like a miniature starry sky—beautiful and deadly.

Eight major factions, eight great armies, closed in from all directions toward the black tide at the center.

Deep within that black-red tide, the Demon Beast Army was also approaching rapidly.

Hundreds of millions of Demonic Beasts covered the sky and earth, blocking out the stars and the moon. Giant beasts galloped through the air, their every step making the Void Realm tremble; flying Demonic Beasts soared high, their wings spreading to blot out the sun.

Countless bizarre Demonic Beasts were mixed among them; some burned with jet-black demonic flames, some were wrapped in decaying dark light, some had forms as illusory as smoke, and others were composed entirely of bone...

In their eyes, there was only bloodthirsty Killing Intent; in their hearts, only the King's command—tear everything apart, devour everything!

At the very rear, guarded by the Demon Beast Army, Luo Xiu sat cross-legged on the back of a demonic elephant. His white hair fluttered, his eyes slightly closed.

The Sword Demon and the Flame Demon stood guard silently at his sides, their gazes vigilantly watching the eight-colored torrent gathering in the distance.

— In the Void Realm, the top powerhouses of the various factions were in no rush to attack.

Lu Hongyuan stood atop his flagship, with over a dozen Tier 5 Powerhouses from the Radiant Star Domain behind him.

His gaze passed over the approaching Demon Beast Army and landed on the black flagship further away—there, the figure of Luo Xiu flickered in and out of sight.

Beside him, the commanders of the various factions were also observing the battlefield.

Sect Master Tuoba Shanyue crossed his arms over his chest, his tiger-like eyes wide open, his aura as steady as a mountain.

Behind him, the Houtu Sect Grand Elder and the Chief Protector stood on his left and right, their auras as deep as an abyss.

Yang Wuji finally put away his fire-feather fan, his expression solemn. The other six of the Red Sun Seven Kings had all taken their positions; the seven figures stood side by side, their auras merging into one, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

Marshal Heiman remained silent, but the nine Great Marshals behind him had all taken their positions. The ten Tier 5 Late Stage auras converged, resembling a bottom-less abyss of darkness.

The one-eyed burly man carried his giant axe, with over ten Tier 5 Powerhouses from the Chaotic Star Domain behind him, their auras chaotic yet violent.

The refined young man held his bamboo scroll, wearing a smile, with eight Tier 5 Powerhouses from the Yunze Star Domain behind him—their demeanor was refined, yet they hid a sharp edge.

The Black-Robed Figure floated in the Void Realm, his eerie green eyes glowing faintly beneath his hood, with six Tier 5 Powerhouses from the Ghost Star Domain behind him—their auras were erratic, like ghosts.

The white-haired old man held a whisk, his body wreathed in starlight, with seven Tier 5 Powerhouses from Xingsu Heaven behind him, standing in positions corresponding to the heavenly constellations, their auras merging into one like a miniature starry sky.

There were over a dozen Tier 5 Peak powerhouses alone. There were more than thirty Tier 5 Late Stage powerhouses. The remaining Tier 5 Powerhouses numbered no less than a hundred.

Such a lineup was enough to annihilate any first-rate faction, enough to make the entire Star Domain tremble!
