The Nine-Phoenix Dynasty's Heavy Losses
Yang Tianyou shifted his attention away from the Realm Gate and led his army to continue the encirclement and annihilation of the remaining Nine-Phoenix Clan in the main battlefield.
The war was extremely fierce, but this time, the heavy losses were shifted from the Lu Wu Realm to the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty.
Seeing familiar clansmen perish in foreign lands and valiant legions defeated and annihilated, Prince Wu Feng and Prince Huo Wu were furious and wished they could personally join the battle.
However, the Realm Gate, which had not expanded again, stood like an insurmountable chasm in their way, leaving these two powerful Nine-Phoenix Clan warriors, who were bursting with combat strength, only able to rage in their mansion, utterly helpless.
As time went on, only 20-30% of the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty's Direct Lineage forces remained on the main battlefield in the Eastern Sea. The Lu Wu Realm Alliance began to slow its offensive, occasionally letting in a portion of the Deity fighting fiercely at the Realm Gate, along with newly arrived reinforcements, to continue using the same methods to encircle and kill them.
"This can't go on. The Imperial Dynasty has already lost too much strength in this battle. If it weren't for our trump card of being Deity, we probably wouldn't be the number one race in the Nine Phoenix Realm anymore!" Prince Wu Feng said solemnly to the Communication Law Treasure in front of him.
The Nine Phoenix Emperor's face was icy as he said, "The Lu Wu Realm Alliance's move is ruthless. They used their people remaining in the Lu Wu Realm as bait, forcing us to send a large army to support them. This cycle continues, wearing down the Imperial Dynasty's strength."
"But... even if we knew, what use would it be? This attrition will not stop until the Imperial Dynasty's power is weakened to a certain extent."
You must understand, in this battle, our enemies are not only the Lu Wu Realm and the Qiongqi Realm, but also the Six Great Clans!
Prince Wu Feng fell silent, clenching his fist and then releasing it—the second time—and a sense of powerlessness rose within him.
"Then let's continue. Since we can't change it, let our sons show their prowess and inflict as much damage as possible on the Lu Wu Realm's forces." True to his Steadfast Will, Prince Wu Feng quickly regained his composure, took a deep breath, and said this.
"Well, I'll leave this battlefield to you. I'll be in charge of negotiating with the other six continents. These guys actually want to establish the Nine Phoenix Realm Alliance and break free from the Imperial Dynasty's rule. This must be made an example of, otherwise the Imperial Dynasty's countless years of foundation will be destroyed in one day!" The Nine Phoenix Emperor's voice carried a hint of weariness. In just a few days, the situation had risen and fallen dramatically, which had also exhausted this Heartforce.
On the azure sea, Yang Tianyou led his army in battle against more than a dozen Deities of the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty.
These Deities have all reached the level of Sage Manifestation, and the leader's combat strength is comparable to the Late Sage Manifestation. They are currently engaged in fierce fighting with the Purple Moon Army First Legion led by Yang Yusheng.
Yang Tianyou and Yunhua faced off against two Deities in the Early Sage Manifestation, and their battles were equally fierce.
Without using their Combined Divine Ability, the couple each faced off against a Deity.
Yang Tianyou's opponent was a hundred feet tall, with three heads and six arms, and four pairs of Phoenix wings on his back. He wielded Long Spear, was covered in Battle Armor, and exuded an exceptionally domineering aura.
Boom!!
A deafening roar echoed in their ears, and surrounded by surging Spiritual Qi, a fiery red Long Spear wreathed in the Incense Power swept in from the left with a sweeping, earth-shattering force.
A heavy pressure filled the surrounding space. Yang Tianyou felt a weight on his shoulders, and the flow of his internal Law Power became sluggish, as if he were wearing heavy shackles.
"It's that divine Battle Armor!" Thoughts raced through his mind as he looked at the magnificent Battle Armor worn by the Deity.
Waves of energy, like gravity, emanated from the Battle Armor, suppressing its movements.
Having figured out the reason, Yang Tianyou activated the White Emperor Indestructible Body.
In an instant, starlight rained down, swirling around his body, making Yang Tianyou look like an ancient, unchanging star.
Immovable, unbreakable, unchanging, indestructible... all these auras flowed and the gravitational field enveloping the four directions vanished without a trace in an instant.
At the same time, Yang Tianyou twisted his body, wielding his knife in both hands, and slashed down fiercely, colliding with the sweeping Long Spear, attacking against attack!
Clang!!
The crisp sound of metal striking metal echoed in all directions. Immense power emanated from the Long Spear, penetrating Yang Tianyou's body and attempting to destroy his internal organs.
However, under the platinum-gold light, Yang Tianyou's body was as if it were made of divine metal, perfectly integrated. Every muscle and every fascia was comparable to a high-level Law Treasure. Although this power was strong, it was far from being able to destroy his body.
Long swords and Long Spears clashed repeatedly, and Yang Tianyou's body swelled to a hundred feet tall as he engaged in a fierce battle with the three-headed, six- Deity.
Wounds appeared on their bodies, but healed quickly. Yang Tianyou's recovery speed was even faster than that of the Deity, which surprised the latter greatly and made him somewhat incredulous.
Not only did a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator use an unknown method to elevate his combat power to the level of Sage Manifestation, but his recovery ability even surpassed his own. This incredible situation caused the Deity's killing intent towards Yang Tianyou to surge wildly.
"Such a prodigy cannot be allowed to grow any further; he must be nipped in the bud!" the Nine-Phoenix Clan Deity thought to himself.
Upon realizing this, the divine Long Spear in the Deity's hand cracked open with a series of sharp cracking sounds, and its power began to surge.
A terrifying threat came from ahead, and Yang Tianyou knew in his heart that something was wrong. He quickly took out a Sixth Tier defensive Law Treasure.
This is a nine-story Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, entirely Scarlet Gold in color. Each floor is adorned with a defensive Law Treasure, totaling nine treasures. If fully activated, they are powerful enough to withstand attacks from Mid Sage Manifestation cultivators. These are high-level Law Treasures from the White Tiger Lineage's treasury, which Yang Tianyou retrieved for self-defense.
"Nine-Treasure Exquisite Tower, defend!!"
Yang Tianyou gave a low shout, and his surging magical Law Power poured into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda above his head.
As the Exquisite Tower hummed and trembled, a Scarlet Gold defensive light curtain cascaded down like a waterfall, enveloping Yang Tianyou.
Boom!!
The cracked divine Long Spear pierced through the air, its terrifying power creating a vacuum channel that pierced through the vast sky, leaving the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within in utter chaos.
Pfft!!
The attack, focused on a single point, pierced through the light barrier hanging from the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda, leaving a gruesome bloody hole right in the center of Yang Tianyou's chest.
Blood, shimmering with platinum light, dripped from the wound into the seawater below. Through the bloody hole, one could still see the ever-beating heart.
However, after delivering such a devastating blow, the divine Long Spear also disintegrated and was destroyed.
"Is it similar to the Old Ancestor's Arms and Armor Divine-Penetration Technique?" A thought flashed through Yang Tianyou's mind, and a surge of life force welled up from his body, causing the blood hole in his chest to heal rapidly.
The Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda blocked most of the power of the spear. The remaining force, while severely injuring him, was far from killing him.
Yang Tianyou is not dead, but the Deity who has lost its attack artifact can no longer threaten him.
The battle that followed was still fierce, but Yang Tianyou maintained control of the pace. After an unknown period of fighting, he finally beheaded the Deity with a single stroke.
