The Fourth Stage of the Realm War (1)

Western Continent, Lanke Temple.

The ancient temple has stood for 100,000 years, and the majestic pagoda stands tall against the Firmament.

As the morning bell tolls, wisps of purplish-red smoke appear on the horizon, bathed in golden light. A colossal Buddha, towering ten thousand feet tall, rises from the ground, one finger pointing to the sky and the other to the earth, exuding an aura of supreme authority.

"I never expected that these monks could have independently deduced a Seventh Tier Formation, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage Formation. They really hid it well enough," the Seven Stars Sacred Lord said in a low voice.

If it weren't for the advancement of the Spirit Veins, which made the Formation's aura impossible to conceal, these high-ranking members of the Alliance would still be kept in the dark.

"Hmph, these fat, big-eared bastards are always full of tricks," the Old Black Dragon said with considerable dissatisfaction.

If the Lanke Temple had revealed the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage Formation earlier, it's hard to say who would have gotten all the Spirit Vein Essence.

"Now that things have come to this, let's work together to cover up the fluctuations of the Formation. We can't let the Nine Phoenix Realm discover the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage Formation," Yang Tianyou said calmly.

He was naturally somewhat displeased that he had been tricked by the Buddhist Sect.

However, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage Formation, combined with Sixth Tier Spirit Vein, has an even stronger defensive capability than Purple Moon Mountain, which is supported by dozens of Solar Warships.

With the blessings of numerous Buddhist practitioners, resisting three or four Early Void Refinement experts is no problem at all.

If the Nine Phoenix Realm chooses the Western Continent as its entry point, it would actually be a good thing.

Of course, the Buddhist Sect must also provide the Alliance with sufficient compensation, and a large portion of the war profits must be taken from them.

Six months later, the Realm Gate, which stood tall in the vast yellow sand, suddenly expanded and grew to eight thousand feet in the blink of an eye, reaching the sky and standing upright.

An incredibly terrifying devouring power surged out from the Realm Gate, stirring up sandstorms that stretched from the sky to the earth.

Realm Gate stretched an endless Lu Wu Realm Allied Forces.

The Alliance's high command's deduction was correct; the breakthrough point chosen by the Nine Phoenix Realms was indeed the Western Continent.

"Thump!!"

The heavy, deep thud Dang Kai far and wide as a short, stocky giant, clad in heavy armor, with a large belly and three heads and six arms, roared as he charged out of the Realm Gate.

The Giant Stone Legion, Void Refinement Legion with extremely strong defensive capabilities, is the vanguard of the Nine Phoenix Realm.

"Kill!!"

On the White Tiger Boat, Yang Tianyou roared, and the powerful warriors of the Purple Moon War Zone launched an attack simultaneously.

Streaks of rainbow light of various colors ripped across the sky, leaving behind many persistent Spatial Rifts, a dark expanse resembling the gaping maw of a demon.

At the same time, powerful figures from other war zones of the Lu Wu Realm also launched an attack. In an instant, Destructive Torrent swept in, changing the color of the sky and earth, and even the sandstorm raging in the sky was directly annihilated.

To prevent the Nine Phoenix Realm from suddenly shifting its target, individual powerful individuals would use Spatial Teleportation Formation arrays to launch surprise attacks on other Realm Gate.

The powerful figures such as the Old Man Zhui Dao, the Sacred Martial Emperor, and the Seven Stars Sacred Lord are still stationed in their respective forces.

Therefore, although the Destruction Storm was terrifying, it only severely damaged the Giant Stone Legion, but did not annihilate it.

The eight-thousand-foot- Realm Gate could accommodate a large number of powerful individuals at the same time. In just a few breaths, several Void Refinement Legions from the Nine Phoenix Realm had already passed through the Realm Gate.

The Lu Wu Realm coalition continued its relentless bombardment; this was the easiest time to achieve results.

If we can take advantage of the fact that the Nine Phoenix Realm is still unstable and cripple or destroy a few Void Refinement Legions, the pressure of subsequent battles will be greatly reduced.

Boom!! Boom!!

The deafening roar continued unabated. Following the Giant Stone Legion, the Lava Army Corps, which used Military Dao Forbidden Technique, and the Eastern King Continent War Demon Legion were both severely damaged, and their combat power dropped significantly.

However, after paying such a price, ten Void Refinement Legions from the Nine Phoenix Realm have already stepped out of the Realm Gate and are gradually gaining the upper hand.

"Cracking!!"

A deafening phoenix Phoenix Cry, seemingly capable of tearing apart stars, echoed across the heavens.

The earth cracked, the Firmament collapsed, and the temperature of the entire world rose rapidly.

The Fire Spiritual Qi was more active than ever before, as if welcoming the King of Flames.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Flame Divine Phoenix with nine heads soared out from the Realm Gate.

Under the cover of the wings that reach to the sky, the sea of fire began to spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of 100,000 miles became a Flame Ocean.

"Hiss! This is definitely not an ordinary Mid-Stage Void Refinement. I would believe you if you said he had the combat power of Late Stage Void Refinement!" The Old Black Dragon let out a strange cry, and its winding and majestic body trembled involuntarily, clearly quite frightened.

"Retreat!"

Yang Tianyou narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Through Nine-Phoenix Kunwu's eyes, he had long understood the terror of the Imperial City Guard Army.

This is one of the Nine-Phoenix Clan's strongest trump cards; how could it not be powerful?

However, the higher the level, the greater the difference between each level.

For the Cultivator Legion to reach the Late Stage Void Refinement realm combat power, it must have generals at the Early Void Refinement realm; otherwise, it's like a house without beams and pillars—it will inevitably collapse in a strong wind.

Therefore, although the Nine-Phoenix Army Corps is strong, it is far from reaching the Late Stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Of course, even a peak-level Mid-Stage Void Refinement expert is not someone that any single strong individual or legion in the Lu Wu Realm could withstand alone.

Even the Old Man Zhui Dao was no match, falling short by a notch. The Purple Moon Army was even worse, getting utterly crushed the moment they went up.

The Lu Wu Realm forces retreated in an orderly fashion, Nine Phoenix Realm army attempted to pursue them, but was blocked by the Formation that had been set up on the ground.

On the Flying Boat, Yang Tianyou calmly looked at the arrogant and domineering Nine-Phoenix, a hint of expectation hidden deep in his eyes.

If the latter were to rely on its strength to pursue and kill, the hidden powerhouses of the Luwu Realm could surround and kill it with overwhelming force.

Without the Nine-Phoenix Army, it's no exaggeration to say that the pressure of this war was immediately halved.

Unfortunately, the allied forces retreated for tens of thousands of miles, but the Nine-Phoenix Army did not pursue them.

The other Void Refinement Legions of the Nine Phoenix Realm were the same; they simply waited outside the Realm Gate, waiting for all their forces to be fully assembled before surging towards the Lanke Temple.
