War Begins

Call!!

A chilling wind howled, banners fluttered wildly, the temperature plummeted, frost spread through the air, and the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling filled the air.

A sinister, dark red altar stood on the ground, with various offerings placed in front of it. Straw figures were placed on top of the altar, each containing strands of hair, blood, or barely perceptible energy from many cultivators of the Lu Wu Realm.

One by one, Nine-Phoenix Realm Experts surrounded the altar, casting spells. Some of them were Demon Race, and some were Human Race, but all of them were extremely skilled in the Karmic Curse-Slaying Technique.

"The time has come, begin the ritual!" A sinister laugh echoed in the sky, and thick Black Fog drifted out from above the altar, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face, and even the scorching sun above was helpless against it.

Buzz!!

Waves suddenly erupted from the altar, and the bright red talisman on the straw figure's forehead began to burn, then transformed into some kind of extremely vicious and cruel power, shooting towards the Lu Wu Realm along the Unseen Karma path.

At the Alliance Headquarters, Spiritvoid Pavilion Master stood with his hands behind his back in front of the Armillary Sphere, listening to the report from his disciple beside him.

"Master, the Nine Phoenix Realm has indeed used the Karmic Curse-Slaying Technique. Many powerful figures in our Lu Wu Realm have been caught in its trap, and some less powerful geniuses have even died on the spot, their Fleshly Bodies and souls turning into Void..."

"It's alright, we weren't unprepared. This is just an appetizer, it won't have much effect." Spiritvoid Pavilion Master waved his hand, not taking the Karmic Incantation Technique to heart.

In the Interface War design, it ultimately comes down to hard power.

Moreover, the Lu Wu Realm had made preparations in advance. Over the years, thanks to the many incantations inherited from the Qiongqi Realm, the Alliance Headquarters had specifically crafted many Law Treasures to resist the Karma curse of the Nine Phoenix Realm.

Although a significant number of people were attacked, the actual impact of the attack was minimal.

"The most urgent task right now is the frontal battlefield. The Spatial Teleportation Formation must be kept unobstructed. The Sage Manifestation Force, as Mobile Forces, must also be ready at all times and cannot be negligent in the slightest. Go and tell them this again!"

"Yes!" the disciple replied and withdrew.

Spiritvoid Pavilion Master stared intently at the Armillary Sphere. As the Eastern Sea Realm Gate fully expanded, two beams of divine light suddenly shot out from his pupils.

After being expanded in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Eastern Sea Realm Gate, originally a thousand Portal, is now nearly twice as tall, standing between the sea and the sky, pitch black and resembling the gates of hell.

The four powerful figures— the Eastern Sea Flood Dragon King, the Grand Elder, the Luochuan River Dragon King, and the Abyss Lord —stood at the forefront, with an endless army behind them.

Flood Dragons, Sea Beasts, and Water Tribe —they were so numerous that they stretched as far as the eye could see, numbering in the tens of millions.

Above the army's head, there were countless War Fortress, numbering in the millions. The lowest level was Tier 2, with nearly a hundred Sixth Tier War Fortress and thousands of Fifth Tier ones.

A powerful force with deep roots, once it truly unleashes its war potential, is incredibly terrifying.

In recent decades, in order to cope with the Realm War, the Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Clan brazenly opened the Dragon Tomb and used the remains of the Flood Dragon Clan inside to forge War Fortress.

When faced with a life-or-death crisis, respect for ancestors can be set aside for the time being.

As a powerful force that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, how many Flood Dragon skeletons have accumulated in the Dragon Tomb of the Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Clan?

Undoubtedly, this is an unimaginable number!

In addition to the Flood Dragon Clan, there were also many Sea Beast skeletons accumulated in the Vast Sea Abyss. The Abyss Lord handed them all over to the Alliance to be forged into War Fortress.

And so, the number of Sixth Tier War Fortress, which were originally rare, increased dramatically in just over forty years.

Besides the War Fortress, the number of the Flood Dragon Clan legions has also increased several times. Not to mention anything else, just look at the Reverse Scale Army, which serves as the Dragon Mound Guard Army.

They have expanded from the initial 15,000 to 50,000, and all of them possess the strength of Sacred Land-Level Army Corps. A legion of 10,000 can contend with Mid Sage Manifestation expert.

As for the training method, it was the same as the Yang Household's Purple Moon Army, built up with resources and bloodshed.

When it comes to wealth, which power in the Lu Wu Realm can compare to the Flood Dragon Clan?

Moreover, Dragon Clan are renowned for their prolific reproduction, and the sheer number of Dragonkin is not to be underestimated.

In this way, the Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Clan managed to multiply the strength of its army several times over in just a few decades.

In fact, it's not just the Flood Dragon Clan; other major powers are the same.

The Deity accumulated by the Four Great Empires of the Myriad Nations Region and the Three Great Demon Kingdoms on the shores of the Eastern Sea, the Dao Soldiers hidden in the Seven Stars Sacred Land, the vast medical reserves of the Spiritvoid Pavilion, and the Śarīra enshrined by Buddhist Sects...

When Lu Wu Realm truly gets serious and spares no effort to improve its strength, the combat power of the entire realm is soaring at an exaggerated rate every moment.

This great battle was something that the Nine Phoenix Realm had been preparing for for a long time, and the Lu Wu Realm was also sharpening its knives.

In terms of war potential, even if Lu Wu Realm is inferior to the Nine Phoenix Realm, the difference isn't that significant.

What truly sets the two apart are the high-level experts in the Nine Phoenix Realm who have accumulated countless years of experience.

Within a few decades, the military strength of a legion can undergo a dramatic Bloodline Metamorphosis, but cultivating Sage Manifestation powerhouse is not so easy. Even with the removal of restrictions by heaven and earth, and the relentless cultivation efforts of various forces, only a few dozen new Sage Manifestation powerhouse can be born, barely enough to make up for the losses in the great war.

However, due to the restrictions of the Realm Gate, the high-end combat power of the Nine Phoenix Realm cannot be fully utilized yet, which gives the Lu Wu Realm more time to accumulate strength and gradually close the distance between them.

As a world with Five Elements present and none lacking in any particular aspect, the potential of the Lu Wu Realm is actually far greater than that of the Nine Phoenix Realm.

The reason the latter was able to surpass Lu Wu Realm was simply because it had experienced multiple Interface Wars and had devoured several Middle Thousand Realms.

Given enough time, it remains to be seen who will emerge Lu Wu Realm!

Under the cold gaze of the powerful figures of the Eastern Sea, and surrounded by towering crystal walls, a phoenix cry that shook the heavens and stopped the clouds finally Phoenix Cry from the completely expanded Realm Gate.

"Cracking!!"

A Nine-Phoenix Clan member with four phoenix heads and an aura reaching the Mid Sage Manifestation flew out from the Realm Gate. The dark red Phoenix True Fire burning fiercely on its crimson feathers seemed to ignite even the line of sight, making it terrifying beyond belief.

"Hmph, activate the Formation, kill!!" With a command from the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea, countless Array Mark suddenly appeared on the crystal city wall surrounding the Realm Gate.

Wow!!

The intense blue light illuminated the entire world in a deep blue hue.

"Hold head high!!"

A domineering Dragon Roar resounded from the city wall, and one after another, azure Flood Dragons, composed of Formation yet seemingly real, with distinct scales and claws, emerged from the crystal city wall and fiercely pounced towards the Sage Manifestation Nine-Phoenix!

At the same time, the powerful figures from the Eastern Sea surrounding the city walls also launched their attacks. In an instant, a vast torrent of energy surged into the Realm Gate, directly suppressing the terrifying Nine-Phoenix Clan powerhouse. One by one, the phoenix heads exploded, and the powerhouse was immediately severely injured and forced to retreat.
