183: Chapter 183 Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals
War is a massive meat grinder suspended in the Chaos Void Realm, turning coldly.
Light and darkness clash here, and every moment, thousands of lives are crushed by this machine.
The roars of the Dragon Clan, the angry shouts of the Immortal Dynasty soldiers, the frenzied shrieks of the Dark Demon Legion, and the howls of various bizarre Vicious Beasts from the Boundary Sea all mixed with the thunderous explosions of immortal techniques, nearly tearing one's Divine Soul apart.
Golden Dragon blood mixed with filthy black blood, staining this Void Realm in a mottled mess, emitting a fishy, sweet, and slightly rotting stench that made one want to vomit upon smelling it.
Under the precise command of Li Changsheng, although the battle lines of the Heavenly Court Fleet were stretched, they simply would not collapse.
The formidable individual combat strength of the Dragon Guard Army, combined with the exquisite battle formations of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, acted like two iron pincers, firmly gripping the offensive of the Boundary Sea cannon fodder legion and crushing it bit by bit.
However, the cost was exceptionally high.
Dragon Clan warriors were constantly surrounded by countless Dark Demons, their tough Dragon scales gnawed away until they were finally swallowed by the darkness while roaring in unwillingness.
There were also constant instances where the Immortal Dynasty's battle formations, exhausted of immortal essence, faltered, only to have gaps torn open by the rushing enemies.
Having seen so much blood, people change.
The initial panic and fear had long since faded; now, whether it was the proud Dragon Clan or the veteran soldiers of the Immortal Dynasty, their eyes had become numb.
They did not think about whether they could win or survive; like machines, they relied on instinct to swing their weapons, hacking to death all enemies before them.
Before such a deadly meat grinder, an individual's bravery was useless; only tenacious will and an endless supply of soldiers were the key to victory.
This point was precisely the greatest advantage of the Boundary Sea army.
… Behind the Boundary Sea Rift, in that realm of pure darkness.
The leading Dark Titan, Carlos, resembled an ancient demon god, overlooking the battlefield ahead.
The dark vortex above his head remained calm, as if the tens of thousands of casualties under his command were merely a game to him.
But behind him, the other two Dark Titans, Gru and Odin, were already becoming impatient.
"Carlos, these bugs are a bit tougher than expected."
One of the Dark Titans, Gru, who carried a giant bone club on his shoulder, spoke in a muffled, irritable voice, "How much longer must we watch? This trash cannon fodder cannot break their spirits at all!"
"Let me go!"
"Just one hit, and I can tear their laughable defense line apart!"
The other Titan, Odin, who looked leaner but exuded a colder aura, also chuckled "Heh heh heh": "Gru is right. That kid in white clothes actually has some command ability; he even dares to try to 'encircle' us. But what is the use of wasting effort on such petty tricks? One punch, and everything will be quiet. Let me go twist off his head and see if his blood is as sour and smelly as those bugs!"
They were Dark Titans, born for destruction, and they detested such a stalemate.
They preferred the feeling of shattering a star with one punch or crushing a world with one foot.
The vortex above Carlos's head spun slightly, as if calculating something complex.
He could feel that at the center of the Heavenly Court Fleet, besides that young commander in white, there were several hidden auras that were so deep they made even him feel uneasy.
"Do not be impulsive."
Carlos's voice echoed in the minds of Gru and Odin, "The Dominator wants the Heavenly Court relics, not a pile of smashed ruins. Use the lives of these useless ones to wear down their spirit first. When they are tired, we will…"
But he had not finished speaking.
"I can't wait any longer!"
The irritable Gru finally roared; he really could not wait anymore!
The dark magic power on his body had been pent up for too long and was about to explode; if he didn't release it, he would blow up himself!
"Boom!"
He gave Carlos and Odin no chance to react, slamming his mountain-like body forward with a stomp.
This stomp was not merely walking.
The Chaos Void Realm beneath his feet actually showed spiderweb-like cracks!
His massive body transformed into a black meteor, ignoring spatial distance, and crashed directly into the middle of the battlefield, where the fighting was most intense!
That place was exactly the center of the Dragon Guard Army!
"Watch out!"
A Dragon Clan Elder who was hacking away at people for his life, a Golden Immortal Peak cultivator who held a high status within the Dragon Clan, was the first to sense the pressure capable of crushing a Divine Soul.
He let out a heaven-shaking Dragon roar to warn his clansmen nearby, and without a second thought, he charged up to meet it.
He knew that a Grand Unity Golden Immortal had entered the fray.
If no one stopped this attack, it could crush all the Dragon Guard Army soldiers within millions of miles to death!
"Beast, you are courting death!"
This Dragon Clan Elder poured all his essence, Qi, and spirit into the golden-glowing Dragon horn on his head, turning into a golden bolt of lightning, and slammed fiercely into the falling "black meteorite."
This collision was the Peak strike of his life, capable of shattering stars!
However… "Get lost, ant."
Gru's mountain-like black fist was faster than him, swinging forward simply and without any flair.
"Bang—!"
That golden lightning capable of shattering stars, upon touching the black fist, shattered on the spot like an egg with a "pop."
That Golden Immortal Peak Dragon Clan Elder still had a fierce, fearless expression on his face, but his Dragon body and Dragon soul were, under that punch… blasted into fly ash, leaving not even a speck of blood.
One punch!
Just one punch!
A Golden Immortal Peak expert, an Old Ancestor-level figure capable of founding a sect in the east of the Immortal Domain, was just like that… gone?
The aftermath of this punch even drowned out the clamor of the battlefield.
The nearby immortal soldiers didn't even realize when the Magic Treasure in their hands fell to the ground with a "clatter"; they just stood there with their mouths open, staring like fools at the center of the battlefield that had been cleared.
A chill pierced into the bone marrow; it was not cold, but pure fear.
And Gru's massive demonic body smashed into the formation of the Dragon Guard Army without stopping at all.
"Rumble—!!!"
A shockwave, with him as the center, turned into a ring of black destruction, spreading crazily in all directions.
Thousands of Dragon Guard Army soldiers who could not dodge in time, in front of this ring of light, didn't even have time to scream; their Dragon scales, Dragon bones, flesh, and Divine Soul… were like sand sculptures, immediately leveled and evaporated!
The heart of the Heavenly Court battle formation was forcefully blasted into a circular vacuum zone!
A gap!
A deadly gap sufficient to collapse the entire defense line!
"Hahahaha! Do you see? This! This is war!"
Gru spread his arms and laughed wildly, enjoying the expressions of fear and despair on the faces of the Heavenly Court soldiers around him.
He overlooked his masterpiece, his expression arrogant.
"Marshal!"
"We beg the Marshal to activate the Zhou Tian Star Array!"
Several Taiyi Divine Generals of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty could no longer pretend to be calm and anxiously used Divine Thought transmission toward the direction of the zhou tian star boat.
It's over!
A Grand Unity Golden Immortal has come down to kill in person; this is no longer something that can be handled by tactics!
Unless the Great Demon-Slaying Marshal acts himself, or they use the Heavenly Court's trump card, otherwise, they will surely all die here today!
On the prow of the zhou tian star boat.
Li Changsheng watched the hideous gap quietly, watching the laughing Dark Titan, and watching the fear and wavering beginning to appear on the faces of his soldiers.
His face still held no expression.
Only in a place where no one could see, the knuckles of the hand holding his wooden sword turned white.
He slowly turned his head to look at the young girl beside him, who had a cold expression and seemed as if the surrounding slaughter had nothing to do with her.
"Qingyue."
He called out softly.
"Mm."
Li Qingyue also did not look at him, just responded coldly, as if she already knew what he was going to say.
The siblings did not need to say much.
Li Changsheng nodded slightly.
Dressed in moon-white palace attire, Li Qingyue stepped out.
Her movements were light and elegant, not at all like heading to a battlefield, but rather like taking a stroll in the back garden of her own cold Moon Palace.
She only took one step.
But her figure crossed a distance of millions of miles in that one step, appearing silently before the Dark Titan Gru, who was showing off his might.
A Dark Titan who was ten thousand zhang tall, covered in bulging muscles, resembling a demon god.
A seemingly cold young girl with a slender body, wearing white clothes whiter than snow.
This strong contrast made everyone on the battlefield feel like their brains were struggling to comprehend.
"Hmm? Another one here to die?"
Gru noticed the "little thing" before him, who was not even as big as his fist; he could feel the power within her body that was completely opposite to darkness—pure and cold—which made him very uncomfortable.
"Perfect, I'll take you as an appetizer!"
Gru grinned and once again swung his fist that could shatter stars, slamming it fiercely toward Li Qingyue's petite body!
Facing this star-destroying punch, Li Qingyue just took a look.
Her cold eyes reflected the ever-enlarging black fist, her gaze without ripples.
She just… simply… extended a jade-white finger.
At the same time, her lips moved, spitting out a cold word.
"Lin."
A bone-piercing chill swept out with her as the center!
That was not ordinary cold; it was the absolute zero from the Lunar Power Origin, capable of freezing time and imprisoning Law!
An invisible Domain unfolded silently!
Inside the Domain, everything changed!
Gru's violent fist suddenly stopped three feet away from Li Qingyue's forehead!
His terrifying speed seemed to have fallen into ten-thousand-year-old amber, becoming slower than a snail crawling.
It was not just his fist.
The dark demonic flames burning on his body were extinguished.
The shockwave spreading around him solidified.
His arrogant laughter stuck in his throat, turning into a comical mouth shape.
The whole world, in his eyes, seemed to have fallen into a quagmire.
No, it was more exaggerated than slow motion; it was near-total stillness!
Only the crystal-clear snowflakes falling from the sky, condensed from pure Lunar Power, were slowly dancing.
"This… this is… what kind of power?!"
Gru's brain was still turning, but he felt his thoughts were about to be frozen.
He was terrified, discovering he could not control his own body!
Time!
It is the Law of time!
This woman actually controlled such terrifying power of time and space!
"General against General…"
Gru's expression froze on his face, and the breath that the Heavenly Court side had just drawn in also got stuck.
In the distance, the Dark Titan Odin's purple flames burning in his eye sockets flickered, no longer in the posture of watching a show.
He realized his brother was in big trouble.
He let out a sharp shriek, about to go up to help.
But just as he was about to move.
His entire body's dark magic power was pricked by an invisible needle, instantly contracting!
Odin stiffened suddenly, as if watched by a natural enemy lurking in the depths of the Void Realm, and a needle-pricking pain came from the center of his brow.
What kind of aura was that!
Pure, sharp, as if it were a Sword Intent born for slaughter!
A sense of alarm suddenly arose in Odin, and he turned his head sharply.
In another part of the Void Realm, without knowing when, the young man in white who had been standing on the prow of the boat had left the boat and was standing in the air.
He was still in white, holding that wooden sword that looked ordinary, the sword tip pointing at him from afar.
He just stood there, and the aura around him tore through the Void Realm, forming a world of swords.
Immediately after, the young man's voice was calm, clearly reaching Odin's ears, as well as the ears of every living creature on the battlefield.
"Soldier against soldier, general against general."
"Your opponent is me."
