Above the Divine Hall, the mighty fleet of Heavenly Vessels finally set out.
A hundred Heavenly Vessels stretched across hundreds of miles of sky, pressing down upon the sea of clouds like colossal beasts. As they moved, they churned the cloud sea into waves as if raising towering billows.
A massive void vortex emerged in the sky, and one Heavenly Vessel after another plunged into it.
Ji Mingfeng and the others stood in the air and saluted True Monarch Qingshui.
"Seeing you off, True Monarch. May you wipe out the remnants of the Mechanical Empire, win a resounding victory from the very start, and return triumphant!"
True Monarch Qingshui nodded faintly, then shifted his gaze to Gu Yu. "Gu Yu, you will remain behind to oversee the Divine Hall. First, ensure the trials proceed normally. Second, guarantee the safety of the Trial Area and do not allow the Mechanical Empire to infiltrate. Third, ensure the logistical supplies are maintained!"
Venerable Gu Yu replied respectfully,
"Yes, True Monarch. This disciple will ensure the rear is completely secure!"
This time, True Monarch Qingshui was personally leading the campaign against the Mechanical Empire. Gu Yu had remained behind on the grounds that his injuries had yet to heal, and naturally, True Monarch Qingshui's appointment of him effectively stripped Ji Mingfeng of his authority as overall commander.
Fortunately, Ji Mingfeng had not been stripped of control over the grand formation. Otherwise, if the formation were handed to Gu Yu, Gu Yu would be able to control the Divine Hall completely!
Mo Xinghe had been involved in the war all along, so he had no choice but to accompany the expedition to the Red Rock Continent.
His expression was somewhat grim. He did not want to go. The front lines were far too dangerous. In
