The Battle Begins

More than ten days after the battle between Luo He God Monarch and the Heart Shadow Gate.

In a stretch of wilderness outside Huyang City, two figures appeared out of thin air.

"We're here." After briefly confirming their bearings, they took only a few steps before traversing through space and locating Marquis Jiu Jiang's small military city. Outside the military camp, Commander Jiang Yu You had long been waiting.

"Two God Monarchs, you've finally arrived. The Marquis has been waiting for you." Jiang Yu You stepped forward to greet them while observing the two men.

One of them was the one-horned man, General Yong Hu, who had visited not long ago. The other was a thin man clad in loose robes, whose renown in Yu Country far surpassed Yong Hu's.

Jiang Yu You looked at the thin man with respect as well.

"Commander Jiang, please lead the way," the thin man said with a smile.

"It is my honor to guide General Yue and General Yong." As Jiang Yu You spoke, he led the two of them to see the Marquis.

Within the military city, inside the main tower of Marquis Jiu Jiang's residence.

Marquis Jiu Jiang sat at ease, looking at the two figures who had arrived.

"Marquis, General Yue and General Yong have arrived," Jiang Yu You said respectfully.

After the two entered and saw Marquis Jiu Jiang, they too were exceedingly respectful, bowing as they said, "Greetings, Marquis."

They had both followed God Kings for a long time and clearly understood that God Kings and Chaos Masters were the upper echelons of this world. Even God Kings had to show these Chaos Masters a certain degree of respect.

Since they were in a cooperative relationship, if Marquis Jiu Jiang and the others wished to obtain opportunities from God Kings, they likewise had to give something in return.

Only when Chaos Masters were willing to serve as subordinates and wholeheartedly follow a God King would they receive that God King's full support.

"No matter what, Chaos Masters hold a status far above us Eternal True Gods." General Yong had always yearned to reach the Chaos Realm, but his accumulation was still far from sufficient.

"Please, have a seat." Marquis Jiu Jiang smiled at them. "With the two of you assisting in this conflict against Marquis Liu Yin's forces, things will be much easier."

"It will mainly depend on Junior Brother Yue. I'm merely lending a hand," General Yong said.

General Yong was very willing to participate in the conflicts across the various Chaos Continents, as it was also an excellent way to accumulate resources. His junior brother, General Yue, was different—he was extremely difficult to invite, because General Yue did not lack resources. The Yu Country Ruler would personally grant him resources time and again.

"I will still need Senior Brother to watch over me," the thin man said with a smile. "By the way, Marquis, you said there was another powerful ally named Luo He?"

"I've already sent Yu You to invite him. He'll be here soon," Marquis Jiu Jiang said.

Marquis Jiu Jiang was very courteous.

Among Luo He and Servant, General Yong, and General Yue, Marquis Jiu Jiang valued Luo He and General Yue the most.

"Yue Wu and Luo He both have hopes of reaching the Chaos Realm." Marquis Jiu Jiang knew very well that the two might remain stuck at the bottleneck for a long time, but in the future, they should become existences on the same level as himself.

"General Yue Wu and General Yong Hu?" Luo Feng attended the banquet together with Moluo Sa.

"General Yue Wu is the strongest Eternal True God in Yu Country, at least openly," Jiang Yu You explained. "What is most remarkable is that General Yue Wu's divine body is very ordinary. He cultivates the Laws lineage! Relying solely on an ordinary divine body, together with his inconceivable accumulation in realm, he even surpasses General Yong Hu and the others."

Jiang Yu You said, "General Yue Wu is exceptionally skilled in formations. Once a formation is set up, any Eternal True God who enters it would likely be unable to escape."

"Below the Chaos Realm, Yu Country's foremost formation master is General Yue Wu." Jiang Yu You spoke with amazement and envy. "The Marquis has said that with General Yue Wu's accumulation, he is almost certain to reach the Chaos Realm."

Luo Feng listened with admiration.

The Origin Continent was vast, and there were still many astonishing existences. General Yue Wu, like Blood Cloud, possessed an ordinary divine body, yet General Yue Wu was even more powerful and was greatly valued by God Kings.

"To become Yu Country's strongest Eternal True God without an Infinite Divine Body is truly impressive," Moluo Sa also praised.

Jiang Yu You glanced at Luo Feng and smiled. "That is only in Yu Country. If it were in the Two Great Ancient Nations... the most dazzling Eternal True Gods would certainly possess Infinite Divine Bodies."

The most dazzling Eternal True Gods across the entire Origin Continent had no shortcomings in any aspect.

Luo Feng, in particular, had surpassed the limits of history. Both his divine body and will were utterly extraordinary. In fact, Lie Yuan Art had once been scattered among many major powers across the Origin Continent, yet Luo Feng alone had ultimately succeeded in cultivating it. That alone spoke volumes.

His divine body and will had both surpassed the limits of history. After Sitting Mountain Guest learned of this, he felt that there was hope for revenge.

"Marquis." Luo Feng and his servant entered the tower.

"Sit." Marquis Jiu Jiang smiled as he introduced them. "Luo He and Servant both confronted the Heart Shadow Gate head-on in Huyang City. Even when the Heart Shadow Gate went all out, they could do nothing to Luo He and Servant."

"Information about Luo He God Monarch's actions in Huyang City some time ago has long spread throughout Yu Country." The thin General Yue praised him. "As an Eternal True God, you possess peak Chaos-level will. Impressive. To have such Mind Will, Luo He God Monarch must have had extraordinary experiences."

Luo Feng smiled.

The lifeforms of the Original Universe climbed step by step from the very bottom. Becoming immortal was already difficult, and in each reincarnation era of the entire Original Universe, the number who could become True Gods was limited.

Therefore, every True God who emerged from the Original Universe possessed a Mind Will far stronger than the True Gods of the Origin Continent.

And Luo Feng...

Across the many reincarnation eras of his home Original Universe, he had been the most dazzling existence of them all.

"General Yue's formations cannot be broken by anyone below the Chaos Realm. I admire you greatly as well," Luo Feng said.

"God Monarch, we meet again." General Yong Hu was quite enthusiastic.

"General Yong." Luo Feng smiled and nodded.

Marquis Jiu Jiang, seated at the head, spoke. "Now that General Yue and General Yong have arrived, we need only rehearse the formation. Once we are fully prepared, we can make a move."

"We will follow the Marquis's orders in all things," General Yue, General Yong, Luo Feng, and Moluo Sa all said.

A vast formation shrouded a broad expanse, with water mist spreading throughout.

General Yue Wu sat at the heart of the formation, surrounded by six puppet creatures. He controlled the entire formation.

At the very forefront of the formation stood Luo Feng and Moluo Sa. They could only feel endless currents swirling around them, their might terrifying.

"Luo He God Monarch, you and your servant are the strongest. Wherever we encounter formidable enemies, you two will need to deal with them," General Yue Wu's gentle voice sounded beside Luo Feng and Moluo Sa.

"Rest assured." Luo Feng nodded.

Having accepted One Hundred Million Universe Sand, he naturally had to do his share.

"Senior Brother Yong, if we encounter troublesome opponents, I'll need you to hold them off," General Yue Wu transmitted.

"Alright." General Yong nodded. He possessed an Infinite Divine Body, as well as a God King-level inheritance!

Although he could do nothing to Blood Cloud, whether in frontal explosive strength or the resilience of his divine body, he surpassed Blood Cloud. In terms of realm, he had also comprehended several Chaos Realm techniques, though they were somewhat rougher than Blood Cloud's.

The Infinite Divine Body allowed him to withstand countless dangers, which was why General Yong was willing to accept commissions from all sides!

He had no choice. The resources the God King had bestowed upon him were rather limited, so he had to work hard for himself.

"Generals, commanders, when the time comes, simply act according to my instructions. First, we'll briefly drill six methods of coordination," General Yue Wu transmitted to the more than three thousand Eternal True Gods within the formation.

This time, Marquis Jiu Jiang had mobilized over ninety-five percent of all Eternal True Gods in the entire Jiu Jiang Chaos State!

This battle had to be won!

Not only had he sent out a divine power avatar openly, but his true body had also arrived. After all, even if they were defeated, he still had to protect these Eternal True Gods under his command.

"Yes." The more than three thousand Eternal True Gods commanded the armies beneath them, forming one Super Large Mechanical Treasure after another.

Originally, they had been scattered and disorganized, but within General Yue Wu's formation, their strength was naturally coordinated.

The combined might of the many Mechanical Treasures was terrifying, greatly boosting the confidence of the Eternal True Gods.

"Impressive."

Luo Feng, too, witnessed the power of a formation master.

"Hiring this formation master was worth it."

Within the military camp city, Marquis Jiu Jiang watched the scene from afar and nodded slightly. "A formation master can coordinate the entire legion and more than double its strength."

This formation master had cost sixty million Universe Sand.

General Yong Hu had cost twenty million Universe Sand.

Luo He God Monarch had been the most expensive.

"Luo He God Monarch can intimidate the enemy's many Eternal True Gods." Marquis Jiu Jiang knew very well just how much help an invincible, terrifying vanguard could bring on the battlefield.

"I will definitely win this battle." Marquis Jiu Jiang was confident, then frowned in frustration. "But this time, I've spent a full one hundred and eighty million Universe Sand, while Marquis Liu Yin hasn't paid anything at all. He probably only made a promise."

Marquis Liu Yin had made a promise to the Heart Shadow Gate, but if they lost, Marquis Liu Yin would still have to pay nothing.

A hollow promise had made the Heart Shadow Gate fight to the death.

"I can block this attack, but what about the next one?" Marquis Jiu Jiang was also considering the future.

The two fiefs were adjacent. Marquis Liu Yin would not give up easily.

With a formation master present, the drills went smoothly. After patiently rehearsing for three days, Marquis Jiu Jiang felt that their preparations were more than sufficient.

"Everyone, once we break through the Heart Shadow Gate and reclaim Huyang City, I will celebrate your merits properly." Marquis Jiu Jiang looked at the densely packed three thousand-plus Eternal True Gods before him. General Yue, General Yong, and Luo Feng's master-servant pair were clearly standing in the front row. "Now, depart!"

The many Eternal True Gods all flew into a large flying vessel.

Boom!

The large flying vessel immediately began traveling through the void.

After only several void traversals, the large flying vessel arrived above Huyang City, precisely above the City Lord's Mansion! Only the Gloomy Darkness Grand Formation stood in the way.

The sudden appearance of the large flying vessel immediately stirred up unrest among the many Heart Shadow Gate disciples within the city.

"This is bad."

"Marquis Jiu Jiang's army."

"They've come."

Some of the disciples scattered throughout the city panicked.

High in the sky, Luo Feng and the other three thousand-plus Eternal True Gods aboard the large flying vessel also observed parts of Huyang City, seeing Heart Shadow Gate disciples scattered in various places.

There had already been a detailed plan before the battle, so they paid no attention to the scattered Heart Shadow Gate disciples.

"The disciples outside are all ordinary Heart Shadow Gate disciples. They're responsible for controlling the city! They are also bait, meant to lure Marquis Jiu Jiang's forces into attacking," Luo Feng watched.

"Attack."

With General Yue Wu's command, rolling water mist instantly blanketed the sky. The large flying vessel vanished, and Luo Feng and the others were naturally within the formation.

Rumble~~~

This colossal water-mist formation suddenly ignited with flames, transforming into an incomparably massive fireball as it violently slammed into the Gloomy Darkness Grand Formation! The Gloomy Darkness Grand Formation enveloping Huyang City was torn apart and pierced through in an instant. This supermassive fireball, spanning one hundred billion kilometers, shot straight toward the City Lord's Mansion.

"It's here."

In Chaos A Zone, the Heart Shadow Gate Master and the Divine Power Clones of the eighteen elders had gathered. They looked up at the scene, their gazes icy.

For the sect's foundation, they had to win this battle!

Thanks to the new Alliance Leader, 'Antigravity Fish'.
