511: The war broke out, and the sky was filled with flames.

The entire Dian Prefecture, the main base of Miao Territory, was engulfed in the smoke of war.

The Miao Territory Elder Council, Three Mountains Nine Caves, and other major powers almost came out in full force, integrating into the 300,000-strong army to boost its overall combat strength, and also brought Gu Treasures and poison Dao treasures that were the core assets of each Dong.

They planned to achieve success in one battle.

If this battle was won, Miao Territory would become famous throughout Great Chu, completely seceding and, with the power of the War God, dominate the world within ten years and establish a new dynasty.

The entire Dian Prefecture was in a state of panic; the army controlled by the Elder Council subjugated all in its path, suppressing all forces leaning towards Great Chu.

On the border of Dian Prefecture, Chu Jiang had already mobilized 30,000 West Prefecture Wolf Cavalry and stationed them at the border.

The Wolf Cavalry's main general, Yue Wenzhong, looked towards Dian Prefecture and said in a deep voice, “Today, the third batch of refugee Sects has already come to West Prefecture.”

“This Dian Prefecture is truly in chaos.”

“General, can we win?” a young man in similar armor beside him asked.

Dian Prefecture had always been the strongest of the Three Prefectures, with comprehensive strength far surpassing the other two. When the Three Prefectures were initially divided, the best land and locations were all given to Dian Prefecture.

Its territory area was also the sum of the other two States.

“You brat, you ask me, how would I know?”

“The outcome of the battle is decided by great figures like Lord Shao Si. As long as they can suppress the Miao Territory Grand Priest and the Gu King, there will be no problem.”

Yue Wenzhong said in a deep voice.

“Lord Shao Si is strong, but he hasn't Broken through to the Rongtian Stage after all, how can he…” The young deputy general's face showed worry.

“Enough, Lord Shao Si has the Demon Suppression Division and the Great Chu Dynasty standing behind him. The higher-ups have their arrangements; just do what you're supposed to do.”

Yue Wenzhong continued.

In reality, he also had some concerns. Currently, there were only a thousand elite Demon Suppression Guards led by Chu Jiang on the border battlefield.

The Elder Council was unfathomably deep, and he feared a repeat of the battle from thousands of years ago, sinking into the quagmire of war once more. With Great Chu's national strength declining, a swift victory was naturally the best option.

Half an hour later.

Chu Jiang, leading a thousand Demon Suppression Guards, appeared before the 30,000 Wolf Cavalry.

“The Miao Territory Elder Council has coerced the army, oppressed the people, wantonly massacred, and attempted rebellion, causing widespread suffering. Now, heed this this official's command, enter Dian Prefecture—to suppress the rebellion!”

Chu Jiang said sternly.

“Understood!”

Yue Wenzhong cupped his hands.

Just this many of us?

Although the young deputy general didn't understand where Chu Jiang's confidence came from, a soldier's duty was to obey. He immediately prepared the army for battle, and the 30,000 Wolf Cavalry surged forward with a fierce Aura.

Stomp!

Stomp!

Stomp!

Rumble!

Ten thousand horses galloped, and 30,000 cavalry charged like lightning into Dian Prefecture.

Although they had anticipated it, when everyone saw the overwhelming army, various military formations pierced through the clouds, and the oppressive Aura surged like a tide. A terrifying layer of poisonous mist, composed of numerous Gu worms and toxic fog, formed.

Even the battle-hardened Yue Wenzhong was shocked by this scene, never expecting to witness such a grand spectacle in his lifetime.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were dispersed across various locations, suppressing different areas.

In Blood Thorn Cave, a massive, blood-stained old tree root had corpses hanging from its sharp branches.

In Jushi Dong, a gigantic stone giant stood between heaven and earth, shaking the ground with each step.

In Tianshe Dong, a three-headed demonic serpent, seemingly spouting flames, coiled within the army, its scales alone being as tall as a person.

In Shican Tong, a hundred-zhang poisonous cauldron emitting a fierce glow stood horizontally in the Void Realm, exuding immense deterrent power.

This was only what they could see with their naked eyes; more killing weapons were hidden within the dense black fog, unseen.

“My Lord, the suppression here is indeed much stronger than in other places,” Wang Chao said. While flying was barely possible on the Dian Prefecture border, it was essentially impossible here.

The others also stated that they felt significant suppression.

However, even under suppression, Heaven and Earth Realm experts could remain composed amidst this vast army. As long as they weren't surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, their lives wouldn't be in danger.

Chu Jiang's gaze was indifferent as he reached out to touch the Void Realm. This level of suppression was roughly similar to that of Mystic Mechanism City; those below the Rongtian Stage could at most only briefly glide through the air.

...

Miao Territory, Central Army Camp.

The commander, Agu Tuo, sat at the head.

Below him.

Sat several generals and some experts from the Elder Council.

Grand Elder Gu Tiancheng, Lord Shao Si Yin Li Yue, and others were all present.

“This Chu Jiang, with a mere 30,000 troops, wants to charge our formation? He's practically seeking death.”

An Elder scoffed.

“Father Commander, this subordinate is willing to lead 50,000 Shaking Mountain Army to take his dog's head and offer it to the Grand Priest.”

A young general, with sharp eyes, stepped forward to request permission.

“I, too, am willing to go. I only need 20,000 Shaking Mountain Army to take his life,” an old general said.

“I only need 10,000…”

“I only need 5,000…”

“Don't be too excessive…”

Everyone eagerly requested to go, their eyes red, all vying to kill Chu Jiang.

If it were in the past, they certainly wouldn't have had the guts, but now… with the Nine Prison Town Empty Grand Formation, everyone's destructive power was essentially suppressed below the extraordinary level.

Tens of thousands of troops, armed with their Dong-suppressing treasures, were enough to kill Chu Jiang.

The rise of Miao Territory was already unstoppable.

Whoever could kill Chu Jiang would claim the greatest merit.

In the future, being enfeoffed as a marquis or becoming a prime minister was not impossible.

“Granted!”

Agu Tuo said indifferently.

It was a good opportunity to test Chu Jiang's strength. This was likely just Great Chu's vanguard. Great Chu, knowing Miao Territory was rebelling, would certainly not sit idly by.

It was a good chance to dampen his spirit.

First, kill his vanguard, then suppress the Great Chu Army, and begin the path to domination.

“Thank you, Father Commander!”

Agu Li said joyfully. If he could kill Chu Jiang, it would greatly benefit his future in inheriting the position of Grand Marshal of the World's Armies.

With that said.

Agu Li, leading 30,000 Shaking Mountain Army, swiftly departed the central camp.

The layers of black fog were torn open.

The 30,000 Shaking Mountain Army charged out of the military formation, directly attacking Chu Jiang's army.

“Chu Jiang, you little brat, remember, the one who kills you is—Miao Territory's Great General Agu Li!” Agu Li sneered, as if seeing a great Merit beckoning to him.

However, the next second.

A terrifying fluctuation surged from the Void Realm, piercing through the Void Realm. Even the Nine Prison Town Empty Grand Formation struggled to conceal its peerless sharpness.

“What is that? Has a Rongtian Stage Old Ancestor from the Great Chu Dynasty made a move?” Agu Li exclaimed in alarm.

In the distance, a battle spear, mighty and vast, vibrated through the Void Realm, causing Divine Souls to tremble wherever it passed.

This battle spear was flying directly towards Agu Li.

“Not good, retreat quickly…”

“Personal Guards, block it for me!”

Terrified, he hastily retreated, ordering his entire army to shield him from the sharp edge.

As the personal guards approached, they were pierced by the battle spear, which directly penetrated the bodies of over a hundred elite Shaking Mountain Army soldiers. Agu Li was instantly impaled and killed, his heart pierced, bleeding on the battlefield.

“No…”

Agu Li was unwilling, but the power of lightning on the battle spear instantly shattered his life force.

He died at the age of one chapter.

“Too verbose!”

Chu Jiang's eyes turned cold. Riding the Fire Kirin, he led 30,000 Wolf Cavalry, charging through the army. Wherever the Heaven Splitting Spear passed, blood splattered.

Inside the Miao Territory main camp.

The entire place was silent.

“Even with the suppression, he can unleash such exaggerated combat power. This guy…”

“Is he really in the Heaven and Earth Realm?”

One spear impaled a hundred people.

At the same time.

A hundred li away, the 250,000 elites led by Wu Qi successfully arrived in Miao Territory.

Fires of war blazed across the sky.
