A Dire Situation

The Northern River Region, the Realm Gate of Dry Province, the World Interstice.

The dark, thick city walls stood on the Desolation land, countless Array Mark shimmering with various colors of light, intertwining and condensing into chains shaped like azure Chains, firmly sealing the three-thousand-foot-tall Realm Gate.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A dull, resounding crash echoed in the ears of every cultivator from the Lu Wu Realm, accompanied by cracking sounds as the Chains stretched taut, as if they might snap at any moment.

"Prepare for battle!" The Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord stood on the city wall, looking sternly at the Realm Gate.

Boom!!

Finally, under the relentless and fierce onslaught of the Nine Phoenix Realm army, the Realm Gate opened, revealing a hideous, earthen-yellow tortoise head.

This is a Mountain-Weight Turtle. Judging from its aura, it is at the peak of the Late Sage Manifestation Realm. According to convention, to be used as the vanguard and the first to break through the Realm Gate, this guy must at least have the combat power of the Sage Manifestation Great Perfection, and its defensive power is probably even more terrifying.

Not to mention, a huge python was coiled on the back of the Mountain-Weight Turtle. This was a powerful member of the Mountain Python Clan, whose aura was comparable to that of the Mountain-Weight Turtle.

The Tortoise and Serpent Coiling, resembling the Xuanwu. The two are connected by a special Law Treasure, forming a unified whole. One can only imagine that their defensive power must be terrifyingly astonishing.

"Kill!!"

With a roar, the Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord took out the Sect-Guarding Treasures, the "Heaven and Heaven-Shaking Arrow Heaven and Earth Bow" and the "Heaven-Shaking Arrow." These two treasures were a set, both of which were Sixth Tier, Supreme Grade and were crafted based on the legendary treasures of Immortals and Gods.

Its initial grade was only Sixth Tier, Mid Grade, but after being nurtured in the Qiankun Holy Land for tens of thousands of years, it was promoted to the Sixth Tier, Supreme Grade.

When combined and fully activated, the two can unleash an attack at the threshold of the Void Refinement Realm.

The mighty Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord, his cloak fluttering behind him, sat down with his back bent, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and then suddenly shot it out!

Boom!!

The bowstring vibrated like Lei Ming, Heaven-Shaking Arrow roared out, stirring up boundless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. The arrow's light transformed into a rainbow and condensed around it. From a distance, it seemed as if this arrow was about to pierce through the World Interstice.

"Roar!!" "Hiss!!"

Faced with the deadly threat posed by the Heaven-Shaking Arrow, both of the Sage Manifestation Demon Race simultaneously activated their defensive Law Treasures.

A thin, cicada-wing-like light curtain rose up, its earthy yellow color and unusual thickness resembling a towering mountain blocking the path of the Heaven-Shaking Arrow.

Thump!!

The two collided, unleashing waves of destruction, and the surging Spiritual Qi transformed into exceptionally sharp Gang Wind that howled across the heavens and earth.

Two supreme forces are locked in a fierce struggle, seemingly unable to defeat each other.

However, at this moment, a joint attack from the Lu Wu Realm arrived.

Formations, Divine Ability, Law Treasures, Forbidden Artifacts, Talisman... Destructive Torrent surged and roared across the sky, finally shattering the earthen-yellow barrier with a bang.

The powerful Mountain-Weight Turtle and Mountain Python were severely injured on the spot by the Heaven-Shaking Arrow. Then, under the scouring of the Destructive Torrent, their Fleshly Bodies were shattered, leaving only two dim Demon Spirits that escaped into the Realm Gate.

"It's a pity we couldn't kill them!" The pale-faced Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord muttered to himself, swallowing Qi-Replenishing Pill Medicine.

Our forces are still not strong enough. If this were the main battlefield in the Eastern Sea, these two would definitely perish on the spot.

"Roar!!"

Another deep roar rang out, the same combination: Mountain Python Mountain-Weight Turtle.

A hint of worry flashed in the eyes of the Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord and Earth. The endless stream of high-level experts from the Nine Phoenix Realm was making it hard for him to breathe.

If this continues, it won't be long before the Dry Province Realm Gate can't hold out.

Moreover, there will be no reinforcements this time. The Qiankun Holy Land only has two choices: either defend its mountain gate or retreat to the Seven Stars Sacred Land.

The former lost both people and land, and was declared extinct.

The latter, though it saved lives, lost territory and ended up with its Spirit Veins destroyed. Even if it survives the Interface War, whether the Qiankun Holy Land can maintain its Sacred Land is still uncertain.

At the same time that a major battle broke out at the Dry Province Realm Gate, almost simultaneously, major battles also broke out at more than 800 Realm Gates in the Lu Wu Realm.

The Nine Phoenix Realm launched a full-scale offensive. To make matters worse, they concealed the Armillary Sphere in advance, causing the Lu Wu Realm Alliance headquarters to lose control of the battle situation significantly.

The intelligence system suffered a severe blow, and many powerful individuals who had infiltrated the Lu Wu Realm disappeared without a trace, their whereabouts unknown, leaving the war situation in complete chaos.

For the Nine Phoenix Realm, which is stronger, on the offensive, and without home-field advantage, the more chaotic the situation, the more advantageous it is for them.

This way, they can fully utilize their strengths, break through enemy lines step by step, eliminate major forces in the Lu Wu Realm, expand their advantage, and lay the foundation for final victory.

In fact, that's exactly what the Nine Phoenix Realms did.

Their strategy was quite simple: concentrate their forces to break through several Large Realm Gates, allowing a large number of Nine-Phoenix Realm Experts to flood into the Lu Wu Realm, thus opening as many Realm Gates as possible from within and without.

Faced with such a strategy, the Lu Wu Realm, having lost the support of the Armillary Sphere, was immediately put on the defensive. One after another, the Realm Gate were breached by the Nine Phoenix Realm, and the situation developed in an unfavorable direction.

At the headquarters of the Lu Wu Realm Alliance, facing a deluge of distress messages, the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master was at his wits' end, but he didn't have any good solutions. The Nine Phoenix Realm was simply suppressing him with sheer strength.

On the one hand, we should use sufficient forces to confront and contain the various war zones of the Lu Wu Realm.

On the other hand, the surplus powerful individuals and legions used various Concealment methods to wreak havoc in the Lu Wu Realm, opening one Realm Gate after another.

As more and more Realm Gates open, the situation becomes increasingly unfavorable for the Lu Wu Realm.

Of the six major regions of the Lu Wu Realm, the Chaotic Sea, the Frostthunder Region, and the Eastern Sea are relatively better, with the situation still within a controllable range.

As the core of the interface, the Chaotic Sea had long been forged into an impregnable fortress.

The Frostthunder Region is vast and sparsely populated, with few living beings and few powerful forces. Moreover, they are all under the command of the White Sky Sect, united as one, and not easily disturbed.

The Eastern Sea, being the main battlefield where the fighting was most intense, was already chaotic enough, and it wouldn't be any worse for some powerful figures from the Nine Phoenix Realms to cause trouble.

The Eastern Continent, the Western Continent, and the Southern Sea are completely out of control.

In just one day, a total of thirteen Province-Level Powers were destroyed, hundreds of millions of ordinary people were slaughtered, and countless resources were lost.

Unfortunately, these three regions are the most populous and prosperous places in the Lu Wu Realm, and also the places most vulnerable to the rampant destruction by the Nine Phoenix Realm.

If things continue like this, the war situation could very well plunge into an irreversible Abyss.
