210: The decisive battle begins

After being intimidated by Wu Luo, Luo Shen Pass had been paying close attention to the movements in Guan Shen Ancient City. Upon seeing a large army charging towards them, they immediately rallied their forces to meet them.

The two armies quickly encountered each other, but instead of immediately clashing, they faced off.

The oppressive atmosphere and Killing Intent instantly enveloped the entire world.

Neither side yelled insults nor exchanged words, because everyone knew that what was coming next would be a life-and-death battle.

"Let's start the war!"

Gu Xingkui, seeing that the time was right, gave the order.

Upon receiving the command, an Imperial Sect Elder, a Saint Emperor of the Early Stage, carrying a Saint Emperor weapon, directly suppressed the Holy Land Alliance.

"Destroy!"

With an angry roar, the Saint Emperor weapon in his hand erupted with brilliant divine light, and in just one encounter, hundreds of thousands of Martial Artists were slaughtered!

"Hmph!"

At this moment, a cold snort came from the Holy Land Alliance's camp.

Immediately after, a gigantic hand, covering the sky and sun, descended from the heavens, pouncing towards the Imperial Sect Elder.

"Long Rainbow Sever!"

The Imperial Sect Elder waved the weapon in his hand, transforming it into a long rainbow, and struck out.

The terrifying energy unleashed between the two instantly tore apart the nearby Martial Artists!

Perhaps with some apprehension, the Imperial Sect Elder rushed towards the outer heavens, and an old man from the Alliance's camp also followed him out.

Boom!

Both of them displayed seasoned techniques, unleashing various Divine Abilities, causing continuous rumbling sounds in the sky.

"Kill!"

The war drums of the Emperor Sect sounded, and a million-strong army rushed out of the flying boats, overwhelming the Alliance camp.

"Kill!"

The Alliance camp was not to be outdone, and the two sides quickly engaged in close combat.

And those figures above the Saint King realm, one by one, rushed into the outer heavens to fight.

However, the Alliance side was constantly being suppressed. Their actions were very restrained, aiming to preserve their lives. These individuals might have been high and mighty in their daily lives, but in this great upheaval, they were merely powerful ants. If they could save their lives, they naturally wouldn't fight to the death.

But the Emperor Sect side was different. This vanguard consisted entirely of Emperor Sect members who knew what this battle was for. Moreover, Gu Xingkui was secretly observing the battle from the fleet, so they naturally dared not slack off.

As a result, the Alliance's strong cultivators, who had initially intended to hold back, gradually found themselves having to fight with all their might.

But by this time, it was too late. In a battle between strong cultivators, one step late meant every step was late, which led to varying degrees of casualties among the Alliance's strong cultivators.

The battle below was similar. Although the Alliance Army outnumbered the Emperor Sect by three times, their overall strength was far inferior to the Imperial Sect Army.

The Imperial Sect Army came from the same Sect and employed battle formations. Furthermore, being from the Emperor Sect, the Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities they cultivated were extraordinary. In contrast, the Alliance Army was a scattered mess, fighting individually, and simply no match for the Imperial Sect Army.

This caused the casualties of the Alliance Army to increase drastically!

In just half an hour, out of three million soldiers, less than a million remained!

"These good-for-nothings!"

Inside a grand hall in Luo Shen Pass, a group of Alliance higher-ups were observing the battle. Upon seeing the continuous fall of Alliance experts, a Saint Monarch with a chilling aura couldn't help but rage.

As soon as these words were spoken, some Holy Lands within the hall dared to be angry but not speak, because the personnel sent out this time were from their Holy Lands.

Although they knew that the people they sent out would inevitably be cannon fodder, being cursed like this still made them uncomfortable, but they dared not show it.

Because the speaker, named Saint Ming, was a giant of the Saint Monarch Late Stage and one of the chief commanders overseeing Luo Shen Pass this time.

"Fellow Daoist Ming Ku, this matter cannot entirely be blamed on them. Who knew that Ancient Martial Emperor Sect would send out elites!"

A blue-robed Elder beside him quickly tried to smooth things over.

This person's cultivation was also Saint Monarch Late Stage, originating from Nine Rivers Holy Land, and he was also one of the chief commanders.

"Let them withdraw!"

A resonant, aged voice filled the hall.

Upon hearing this, Saint Ming, though unwilling, could only obey.

Because the speaker came from Ancient Sword Holy Land, a giant at the Saint Monarch Perfection stage.

"Clang!!!"

Accompanied by the sound of a bell, the Alliance army, which had been retreating steadily, felt as if they had received a great pardon. After forcing back their respective enemies, they rushed into the distance.

Upon seeing this, the Imperial Sect Army pursued them, chasing them for a hundred thousand miles before stopping, because the Luo Shen Pass had an army coming out to meet them.

Gu Xingkui decisively ordered a halt to the pursuit.

This battle concluded with a great victory for the Emperor Sect.

This greatly boosted the morale of the Imperial Sect Army, while Luo Shen Pass was not significantly affected.

After all, Luo Shen Pass had an army of over 1.5 billion, and these casualties did not fundamentally impact the Alliance's core strength.

In the time that followed, both sides engaged in back-and-forth probing, sometimes erupting into small battles led by Saints, and other times into major battles led by Saint Emperors!

This million-mile-long region, from the outer heavens to the underground, was all a battlefield.

And this war was also being watched by various forces inside and outside the territory. Some forces were indifferent, merely watching for entertainment, while others were secretly plotting, hoping to gain benefits from it.

After more than two months, both sides suffered casualties, with the total exceeding hundreds of millions. The Alliance suffered the most.

Because once the Emperor Sect side showed signs of weakness, Wu Xingqiong and his group would intervene, causing tens of millions of casualties with a single move. When the Saint Monarchs of Luo Shen Pass tried to retaliate, Wu Luo would attack them.

In these two months, one Saint Monarch had already died at Wu Luo's hands, which was also what scared the Alliance Saint Monarchs into no longer daring to make a move.

Under such humiliation, the morale of the Alliance army was plummeting. At this point, they needed a major battle.

However, both sides were holding back, not yet engaging in a decisive battle.

Both sides were waiting for the arrival of the three Quasi-Gods.

And in these two months, Xu Duoduo became the big winner, having captured over ten million sacred souls and Divine Souls!

He brought them all back to Ancient Time Land, where some were converted into Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and the majority were given to the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to use, enhancing their heart of the soldier.

Under these circumstances, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals rapidly surged to over three million in a short period, with the ten major Heavenly Armies each accounting for three hundred thousand!

The Heavenly General level surged to three hundred forty individuals!

The strength of the original ten great Heavenly Generals was elevated to the Saint Monarch Perfection realm, and they were conferred as the ten major commanders: Efeng, Heavenly King Zhanmeng, Heavenly King Rouzhao, Qiang Yu, Zhuo Yong, Tu Wei, Shang Zhang, Chong Guang, Xuan Yi, and Zhao Yang!

Of the remaining Heavenly Generals, thirty Saint Monarchs of the Late Stage served as Heavenly Generals within the ten major Heavenly Armies, each commanding one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers. The three hundred Saint Monarchs of the Early Stage and Middle Stage commanders served as deputy generals, each commanding ten thousand Heavenly Armies.

Additionally, there were three thousand First-Grade Heavenly Soldiers, serving as Centurions; over six thousand Second-Grade Heavenly Soldiers, serving as Quincenturions; and three million Third-Grade Heavenly Soldiers, serving as Heavenly Soldiers.

These were Xu Duoduo's achievements over the past two months, having amassed an army of three million by expending nearly twenty million sacred souls and Divine Souls!

And because of this, Xu Qing was not stingy in the slightest, bestowing many rewards upon Xu Duoduo and granting him command over the six major Heavenly Armies: Efeng, Heavenly King Zhanmeng, Heavenly King Rouzhao, Qiang Yu, Zhuo Yong, and Tu Wei!

With the command of these six Heavenly Armies, Xu Duoduo's heart surged with excitement, wishing for the decisive battle to arrive. After all, he had promised Xu Qing to conquer Wuqian Territory within three months.

Now, with less than ten days until the three-month deadline, his heart couldn't help but grow a little anxious.

Perhaps sensing his thoughts, the decisive battle quickly arrived.

On this day, three terrifying auras appeared above Luo Shen Pass, and immense pressure swept across thousands of miles.

"We respectfully welcome the Old Ancestors, to pacify the Ancient Martial, and unify Wuqian!"

The Martial Artists of the three families knelt in unison, shouting loudly.

"We respectfully welcome the Old Ancestors..."

The morale of the hundreds of millions of Martial Artists within the pass surged, and they all shouted in unison.

With such momentum, it was difficult for Xu Duoduo and others not to notice. They saw three old men with immense auras, each bearing an Imperial Ring of a different color, stepping through the Void Realm above Luo Shen Pass!

"The decisive battle has begun!"

Xu Duoduo's expression was excited!

"These three old guys finally appeared!"

"The great decisive battle has begun. I wonder who will be the ultimate winner!"

"That would naturally be Ancient Martial Emperor Sect. Wu Luo is a three-step Quasi-God wielding an Imperial Weapon, capable of unleashing ten percent of the Imperial Weapon's power!"

"Not necessarily! Saint Ming and the other two disappeared for more than two months and have reappeared, so they must have a way to counter. Therefore, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious!"

Many strong cultivators hiding in the Void Realm began discussing the two sides.
