Sever Heaven and Earth Connection · Ultimate Battle (End of Volume)
Zhao Xing and the Ten Suns Army Corps appeared in the most unlikely place. Nine Nether God couldn't understand how he could appear here.
"Did he find a way to restore his full strength and break through the barrier that Sever Heaven and Earth?"
"That's why I was able to appear in Guiyang City in such a short time," the Nine Nether God asked.
"Divine Throne, according to our investigation, Zhao Xing has recovered to the Fifth Grade."
Upon receiving this reply, the Nine Nether God took a deep breath.
He would rather Zhao Xing had found some loophole, regained all his strength, and then led his army to charge all the way here than have this outcome.
This would make him seem foolish, completely manipulated by Zhao Xing.
The entire army of 400,000 was following Zhao Xing's will.
I felt like a fool, completely led by the nose.
The Nine Nether God felt his Dao heart was about to crumble.
"You guys go out first."
Nine Nether God wanted to calm himself down. Fearing that his subordinates would see his loss of composure, he sent all the senior generals out before he broke down.
After everyone had left, Nine Nether God clenched his fists, veins bulging, and a low growl came from his throat.
What a disgrace!
They deserve to be nailed to the pillar of shame!
Ironically, he had previously thought that Zhao Xing was about to be killed by him.
A frenzied aura erupted from him, shattering the surrounding objects. Clearly, the Nine Nether God had broken through his defenses. Just then, outside Guiyang City...
"Nine Nether God! Do you dare to come out and fight?"
"Nine Nether God! Do you dare to come out and fight!"
"Nine Nether God! Do you dare to come out and fight!"
The sound was like thunder, resounding through the heavens and the earth. It started with Zhao Xing's angry roar, followed by the entire Ten Suns Army Corps shouting in unison. Even the barrier of Guiyang City could not completely block out the sound.
With the Nine Nether God having dispatched their entire army, Guiyang City left with only a little over three thousand garrison troops. Although there were many high-ranking generals, no one felt safe at the moment.
"Gentlemen, let's move out quickly!" A burly man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes said, "The Divine Throne has driven us out, and I'm afraid there's no way out. If we send a large army back now, it may be too late."
"Yes, Zhao Xing has definitely recovered his full strength. Although there are still three thousand people in Guiyang City, they are definitely no match for thirty thousand. If we're too late, we'll be trapped here and die!"
"We initially thought he would die in Min Land, but he actually flew all the way to Guiyang City. Something must have gone wrong!"
"Yes, we're no match for them, we might all die here—"
"The Divine Throne is only Fifth Grade now. Although we still have twenty or thirty Fifth Grade in our city, can we defeat Zhao Xing, who has recovered his full strength?"
"I don't know why you're all talking about being trapped, as if the battlefield of Guiyang City is destined to be a perilous place for us..."
"The Witch Moon God's methods cannot be broken! Zhao Xing will definitely not have recovered his full strength!"
"Although the Ten Suns Army Corps has more than 30,000 men, he is currently the only Fifth Grade among them, while in our Guiyang City..."
There are thirty Fifth Grade in the early, middle, and late stages combined!
"No matter what, with thirty against one, the advantage is on our side."
Outside the main hall, a commotion erupted, mainly because Zhao Xing's sudden appearance and disappearance had completely exceeded everyone's expectations. No one could understand how Zhao Xing had done it; they could only guess that he had recovered his full strength.
"Shh, be quiet, the throne of God has appeared—"
The area outside the main hall quickly quieted down.
Nine Nether God walked to the door, glanced at his subordinates, but said nothing.
He walked without stopping, as if he were teleporting, and in one step he arrived outside the city lord's mansion.
The Nine Nether Generals under the Demon King quickly realized what was happening and swiftly followed.
The Nine Nether God did not stop walking and soon arrived at the city wall.
At this moment, Zhao Xing stood at the bow of a Void-Piercing Flying Boat, gazing at the Nine Nether God from afar.
The clamoring army quieted down.
Zhao Xing raised his hand, and the army began a silent retreat.
The Nine Nether God also waved his hand, left the barrier, and prevented the other Fifth Grade from leaving the city wall.
He decided to accept the invitation and have a showdown with Zhao Xing.
If Zhao Xing can be killed, the morale of the three thousand cultivators in Guiyang City will surely soar. With thirty Fifth Grade as their leaders, they will surely be able to break up the leaderless Ten Suns Army Corps.
This is the last chance to turn things around!
Otherwise, Zhao Xing would cross Guiyang City and head north, like a dragon entering the sea, unstoppable.
Zhao Xing understood this point well; only such an invitation would be enticing enough to entice the Nine Nether God to come out for a final battle.
Otherwise, with thirty Fifth Grade and Sixth Rank hanging behind his army, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.
The Ten Suns Army Corps currently has nearly ten thousand cultivators. If they form a battle formation, they are not afraid of experts charging into their ranks.
But this is too slow.
Therefore, if he wants to return north, he must frighten their high-end combat forces (Fifth Grade) so that they dare not pursue him.
The best course of action would be to kill the Nine Nether God.
Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised to see Nine Nether God come out alone. He had prepared to fight multiple opponents, but he did not expect Nine Nether God to plan to take action by himself.
"Swish swish~"
The two flew into the sky and stood facing each other three thousand meters apart, and the whole world fell silent.
They are all at the peak of the Fifth-Rank Pure Yuan Realm.
They are all invincible powerhouses who have never been defeated!
After a moment of silence, Nine Nether God suddenly spoke up, "Zhao Xing, I really want to know how you recovered to the Fifth Grade rank. Logically speaking, the number of people your Ten Suns Army Corps killed in the past three months should not have been enough to support your recovery."
Zhao Xing was not afraid that the Nine Nether God would delay him. After discovering that there were so many powerful people in Guiyang City, he had already ordered a retreat in order to avoid too many losses for the Ten Suns Army Corps. The longer it went on, the farther the Ten Suns Army Corps would go.
"The powerful figures of the Guiyuan Sect have offered their strength to me."
"Just as I thought." The Nine Nether God's gaze was icy. "I advised the Witch Moon God to kill these ungrateful wretches long ago to prevent them from turning on us, and now they have indeed betrayed us."
"Those who Attaining Dao much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help. You people call yourselves gods, yet you obstruct the path to ascension. Countless brilliant talents are stuck in the Rule Realm, unable to ascend, and can only die in despair. How can you expect them to have genuine loyalty?" Zhao Xing retorted.
"You think they're truly sincere towards you?" Nine Nether God laughed. "They only help whoever wins. If you hadn't shown up in Guiyang City, would they dare to do this?"
"History cannot be rewritten. My presence here is a fact," Zhao Xing said calmly. "Alright, we don't need to engage in this pointless argument."
"Since you asked me a question, you should answer one of my questions too."
"Is it true that the Nine Nether God can freely enter the Void Land of the Yin Realm? Did you and the Witch Moon God choose to be the inheritors, or are you undergoing Reincarnation?"
The Nine Nether God glanced at Zhao Xing: "You seem to know quite a lot. Indeed, both the Witch Moon God and I can freely enter the Void Land. Because we are the guardians of the Profound Yellow World, and we prevented you from destroying it, we have received the favor of Profound Yellow World, while you will be punished by Heaven."
"Even Ke God isn't from the Profound Yellow World. Don't you find it laughable that someone like him would be favored by Heaven?" Zhao Xing sneered. "He should be called Ka Shen, a member of the race from the God Realm Star, right?"
"Don't you know how much damage the Kashen Clan has done to the Profound Yellow World? What gods, what Heavenly Dao, it's all nonsense. It's more like you've been brainwashed by generation after generation of Witch Moon God."
"How could you possibly understand the painstaking efforts of the Witch Moon God?" The Nine Nether God was not provoked, but simply responded calmly.
"You simply don't understand."
"The existence of the Kashen Realm Star has already proven that the vast universe contains other civilizations and life, and the legacy of Qing Yuzi is even more so. I believe that millions of years ago, Qing Yuzi had a conversation with the Witch Moon God, and might even have told the Witch Moon God about the coordinates of the star map outside." Zhao Xing shook his head. "But you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep."
"Simply put, the ascended dynasties are digging into the resources of the Profound Yellow World, which is cutting off your possibility of immortality."
"In the end, it's all because you're afraid of death and don't want to venture out and explore. You only want to use the Profound Yellow World to achieve the goal of Reincarnation and immortality. You want to monopolize the benefits of the Profound Yellow World, and you're willing to interrupt your path to ascension for this. What are you talking about for the sake of the Profound Yellow World? How hypocritical!"
"Enough talk, let's get started!"
With a low shout, the Nine Nether God exploded with energy. His body, which was originally no different from a human's, transformed at this moment.
His muscles became extremely exaggerated, stretching his clothes out of shape. A row of eerie green compound eyes appeared on his chest and back, and a green Canopy grew on his head. The canopy was green with black spots, and he had two thick wings on his back.
His hands and feet seemed to be covered in leather, and his muscles were ribbed.
Lightning crackled within the aura of the Nine Nether God, and he had completely transformed.
"What Nine Nether God? It's nothing more than a yin worm that has become a spirit from the Void Land." Zhao Xing glanced at it.
"Neither human nor ghost."
"Shut up!"
The voice of the Nine Nether God seemed to be composed of many overlapping vocal lines, emitting an extremely strange roar.
"Shut up!"
"!"
Zhao Xing also let out a roar, the sound of Dragon's Cry resounding and visible to the naked eye, shattering the sonic attack of the Nine Nether God.
"Bang bang bang~~" The Nine Nether God rushed towards Zhao Xing like an arrow released from a bow. His speed was extremely fast, creating a sonic boom.
"Pure Yuan Projection!"
Having reached the peak of the Fifth-Rank Pure Yuan Realm, Zhao Xing was now able to fully open the Pure Origin Soil and project his image.
A phantom image of a Spirit Mountain appeared between the two, abruptly blocking the path of the Nine Nether God.
"Boom!"
Relying on his thick skin and tough flesh, the Nine Nether God chose to charge head-on. A huge sound rang out, and the phantom of Spirit Mountain crashed into it, creating a ten-meter-long hole. Rock fragments flew everywhere, but he himself was also bounced back.
It spun around and backed up for a hundred meters before regaining its balance.
The Nine Nether God shook his head and was somewhat surprised. His head was the hardest part of him. Although he was only at the Fifth Grade rank, he had smashed down Spirit Mountain when he was at the Fifth Grade.
However, Zhao Xing's was clearly different; it was too hard!
A ten-meter hole is negligible damage to Spirit Mountain.
This mountain is at least 10,000 meters high and 1,000 meters thick. How long would it take to break through it?
"You think you're Gonggong?" Zhao Xing laughed.
Indigo brush brush brush~
Zhao Xing began to summon clones. At the Fifth Grade rank, Zhao Xing was already able to use Advanced Straw Man Art.
Advanced Straw Man Art are all fusion techniques, such as Flying Heaven Holy Shield, Flying Heaven Self-Destruction, Illusory Form Self-Destruction, Invisible Soul Devouring, and so on.
As soon as the Nine Nether God flew over the mountain, he saw a large army of straw men waiting for him behind the mountain.
"Sizzle~"
The first batch consisted of twenty straw figures, their bodies crackling with lightning, swinging their Thunderbolt Chains toward the Nine Nether God.
The second batch of twenty straw figures quickly approached, extending their arms to begin Entanglement and binding the Nine Nether God.
"The Underworld King Dharma Aspect!"
The Nine Nether God was enveloped by a fierce and malevolent demon god. The towering figure blocked the straw man's magic from ten meters away, forming a protective shield.
"Burst!"
Batch after batch of straw figures rushed toward the Nine Nether God, exploding continuously.
Smoke and dust filled the sky, almost instantly engulfing the body of the Nine Nether God.
"Smoke but no damage, the aura of the Nine Nether God hasn't decreased much." Zhao Xing stroked his chin. "My straw doll attack from when I was at the Fifth Grade becomes the Prince's Battle Technique when facing a powerful spirit like the Nine Nether God."
"Nine Nether - Yin Erosion!"
The Nine Nether God opened his mouth and spat out a wisp of black energy, which formed a black lightsaber. Soon, there was the first one, the second...
He conjured as many lightsabers as there were Straw Man Clone.
"Slash! Slash! Slash!"
The black light swords surrounding the Nine Nether God were like swimming dragons, swiftly piercing through the straw men one by one, and soon there were fewer and fewer straw men in the sky.
"Let's see how many straw men you can summon!" The Nine Nether God grinned maliciously, braving the exploding straw men as he approached the "Five Elements Poison Barrier" step by step!
"Thunder Breaking Illusion Finger!"
"Nine Heavens Astral Wind!"
"Dripping Rain Domain!"
"Heavenly Fire Fiend!"
"The Soaring Serpent Transformation!"
The Straw Man Clone's magic kept bombarding the Nine Nether God, but the Nine Nether God withstood it all thanks to the Underworld King Dharma Aspect.
The Nine Nether - Yin Erosion relentlessly severs Wind, Rain, Thunder, Cloud, seemingly capable of breaking all laws in the world.
"This incarnation of the Nine Nether God is even stronger. His Black Light Slash and Underworld King Dharma Aspect are both much more powerful in both offense and defense," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "It seems that the Witch Moon God raised the upper limit of the Sever Heaven and Earth to the Fifth Grade, which also freed up many restrictions for the Nine Nether God."
"Its true form is the Nine-Headed Nether Bug, which has a total of nine Innate Divine Power. Among them, [Nine Nether - Yin Erosion] and [Nine Nether - Underworld King] are relatively strong among Minor Divine Ability. Moreover, they were awakened at the Fifth Grade grade. Even though they are within the range of the Sever Heaven and Earth and have been weakened countless times, they are still not something that ordinary methods can break."
Soon, Zhao Xing's straw figures were all killed, and Zhao Xing stopped sending out new straw figures.
"Why aren't you releasing clones?"
"Hahahaha, you know nothing about the power of a god!" The Nine Nether God laughed wildly. "I possess nine innate Minor Divine Ability, and even at the Fifth Grade, I can use three of them."
"You had such a great opportunity, yet you chose to provoke me? You're asking for it!"
Looking at the arrogant Nine Nether God, Zhao Xing assessed the situation and found that the other party was like someone who had cheated, and his overall strength had completely exceeded the Fifth Grade rank.
If he is only Sixth Rank Nine Nether God, then he cannot use any supernatural powers at all, and can only fight by relying on the spells or martial arts he has learned later.
However, it was this one-rank difference that caused the Nine Nether God's combat power to rise to an extremely exaggerated level.
but-.
"Anyone can cheat, right?"
Zhao Xing smiled lightly, tossed out a flower basket, and retreated behind Cloud-Soaring Vine.
"Um?"
Nine Nether God was suddenly stunned, and then his expression changed drastically.
He sensed a strong threat, and the Underworld King Dharma Aspect immediately went out. The black lightsaber also seemed to be frozen in mid-air.
The Cloud-Soaring Vine seemed to be rooted in the air. As its purplish-black leaves swayed, a third layer appeared in the world, a space that belonged only to the Cloud-Soaring Vine.
One of the Innate Divine Power of the Cloud-Soaring Vine Void Ban!
"Stop laughing, why aren't you laughing anymore?" Zhao Xing reached out and gestured, causing the illusory image of Spirit Mountain to shift.
"Rise!"
Spirit Mountain took flight. It was derived from the Pure Yuan Projection, and now Zhao Xing was using this mountain to smash people.
The power of the True Self Faction was fully revealed at this moment, when Spirit Mountain and Earth Vein were cultivated within the body. I am heaven and earth!
It took hundreds of years to develop and a lot of resources to be invested, and finally it paid off in the later stages.
However, in the Xuanhuang Realm, very few people from the Original Self Sect can wait for such a day.
"Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell!"
At the last moment, the Nine Nether God's body suddenly cracked open, and a figure flew out from the solidified shell.
The Underworld King Dharma Aspect extinguished, and the black lightsaber disappeared.
But he did manage to escape the area suppressed by the mountains and rise back into the sky.
"Hiss~ Ha~ Hiss~ Ha~"
Nine Nether God's chest heaved violently. He had just used his third talent, but it had clearly consumed a lot of his energy.
At this moment, his green, white, and purple skin had turned blood red—a desperate attempt to escape, but at a great cost. "Where do you think you're going!"
Zhao Xing stepped on the clouds, quickly closing the distance and manipulating the position of the flower basket, causing the position of the Cloud-Soaring Vine to change rapidly as well.
Heaven and earth seemed to have transformed into a flowing river, and the Void-Sealing Copper once again enveloped the Nine Nether God.
"Boom!"
The Nine Nether God once again used his talent to break free from the Void Ban.
But this time, his body had shrunk considerably, as if each time he shed his shell, he would lose a great deal of energy.
As far as Zhao Xing knew, the Nine Nether God, as the possessor of the Innate Divine Power of "Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell," could use it a maximum of nine times.
The others learned magic, but could not truly unleash the secrets of the "Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell" technique; they could only use it a maximum of five times.
After all, one is a natural talent, while the other is a method created by studying the Nine Nether God ' talent; the difference is naturally significant.
"How can there be such powerful Plant Soldier!" The Nine Nether God couldn't understand. Was this really life that was born from the Profound Yellow World?
The continuous escapes made the Nine Nether God want to retreat.
The continuous escapes also greatly displeased Cloud-Soaring Vine.
Everyone else is dead and fine, so why is this guy still running away?
"Mouth~"
The purplish-black leaves began to exhale large amounts of mist, Cloud-Soaring Vine suddenly expanded the range of the Void Ban.
The expansion was so rapid that even Zhao Xing was immobilized.
It remained motionless, maintaining its cloud-riding posture.
"Big brother has really gone mad, attacking his own people." Zhao Xing was startled. Only his mind was active; the rest of his body was completely paralyzed.
Once again frozen in place, the Nine Nether God's rate of shedding its shell became extremely slow.
Cloud-Soaring Vine did not give him that chance, and unleashed its second divine power— Void Strangulation.
A black rift suddenly appeared where the Nine Nether God was located.
The entire process was completely silent; the Nine Nether God simply split open. Its body was suddenly divided into sixty parts, which quickly separated from each other and were thrown in different directions.
After completing all this, Cloud-Soaring Vine seemed somewhat listless. It quickly burrowed into the flower basket, and the Pure Yuan Projection swept back, entering Zhao Xing's body to begin recuperating.
At the same time, Zhao Xing regained his mobility and looked at the Nine Nether God again.
Although the black crack disappeared, the Nine Nether God could not be restored and turned into lumps of flesh.
"Heavenly Fire!"
Zhao Xing quickly cast a spell to incinerate the remains of the Nine Nether God.
The two marks that had faded from his face were burned away completely.
"You say I know nothing about the power of the gods? Hmph, you know nothing about the power of the Cloud-Soaring Vine either." Zhao Xing rode on the clouds and strode away.
"My God, the Nine Nether God is dead!"
"I told you long ago that Zhao Xing has probably recovered his full strength. What do we do now?"
"Fight our way out and avenge the Nine Nether God!"
"That's right, we must take revenge! Generals, I, Qing Yangzi, will go and prepare to fight that demon of the Great Zhou to the death!" A general wearing the Nine Nether Battle Armor immediately cupped his hands and left the city wall with his two adjutants beside him.
"We are ready to go through fire and water, and our Azure Moon Sect is also going to gather troops!" Another general from the Nine Nether descended from the city wall.
The others were still in shock and stunned.
But after the two of them left the city wall, they unanimously took off their Nine Nether Battle Armor and found a set of Great Zhou Bright Light Armor.
The movements were so clean and efficient that changing clothes was faster than changing one's face.
"Hurry, hurry, head east to the Tower Ship Office, or it will be too late!" Qing Yangzi shouted. "Now that the Nine Nether God are dead, the Southern Barbarians are a sunken ship. We can't wait any longer. We must complete our surrender before the news spreads."
Qing Yangzi led his men and quickly headed towards the Tower Ship Office.
Another general from the Nine Nether quickly returned to the council hall and found a barbarian colleague from the Nine Hells Army: "Brother Azure Moon, why did you suddenly come down? Has the crisis outside the city been resolved?"
Azure Moon Daoist looked anxious and quickly approached the mage. "Nine Nether God have defeated the enemy, and we are now going out of the city to pursue them. However, my sect's army is still missing one thing. I have come to borrow something from you, brother."
"Great! What do you need to borrow?"
"I'll borrow your head for a bit!"
The sword flashed across his neck, and his handsome head flew high into the air.
Azure Moon Daoist Cangyue quickly took out a soul bag and put the other party's corpse and soul into it.
And they swept all the valuables from the logistics department.
"Walk!"
Zhao Xing did not attempt to capture Guiyang City again, because Guiyang City itself descended into chaos.
He quickly chased after the retreating Ten Suns Army Corps, beginning his journey north.
On the other side, Li Hao, the commander of the Wuyao Army's army, was struggling to attack a city gate on the Canglan River in Azure Moon Prefecture.
"General, General, urgent report from the Ten Suns Army Corps!"
Li Hao, who was inspecting the battle situation in the Military Hall, immediately looked up upon hearing the news. "Quick, show it to me!"
At this moment, Li Hao was also extremely anxious. It had been clearly stated above that if Zhao Xing died, the Ascension Plan would be ruined, so this rescue operation was ordered to be carried out without hesitation.
The day before, he received news that Zhao Xing's Ten Suns Army Corps was besieged in Min Land.
And he was the closest one.
However, this "near" is relative; Li Hao estimates it will take at least half a month to get there.
Therefore, he hoped that Zhao Xing's Ten Suns Army Corps could hold out for a longer period of time, or at least that Zhao Xing himself could hold out for a longer period of time.
"General Li, our army has crossed the Sky Water River to the north and is now at Guiyang County. We intend to join forces with General Dong Ze to the north. There is no need for you to attack Azure Moon Pass to provide reinforcements. -- What?"
Li Hao was taken aback. He wondered if he had misread it, but the signature was indeed that of Zhao Xing, the Grand Minister of Agriculture.
"Is this really intelligence from the Ten Suns Army Corps?"
"General, the secret message from the Ten Suns Army Corps is accurate," the subordinate reported. "Our Yuqing Department can confirm that it was indeed delivered by the Ten Suns Army Corps's Mechanism Master."
"How is that possible? He was still in Min Land yesterday, and he's already in Guiyang County today?" Li Hao stared at the sand table map, his mind full of questions.
Zhao Xing crossed the Sky Water River four times, and not only did the Nine Nether God not understand, but even his own people were kept in the dark.
Li Hao was still launching a fierce attack in the southeast, heading to rescue the Min Land, when Zhao Xing and the Ten Suns Army Corps had already passed Guiyang County and headed north.
"General, another urgent report from the Ten Suns Army Corps!"
"Read it quickly!"
"General Li, please allow me to report that the Nine Nether God has already been slain by the Grand Minister of Agriculture in the battle of generals. The morale of the troops in Lanhe Prefecture and Azure Moon Prefectures must be in great disarray. Our army has already withdrawn from the Guiyang County, and there are no enemies blocking our way ahead. General, you may seize the opportunity to attack the Azure Moon Pass defense line, or attack the Ka Lette tribe in the southeast and the Yu Feiyang tribe in the southwest. Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing." The adjutant's voice carried a hint of unease as he read.
Li Hao was completely confused.
He suspected it was an enemy plot.
Otherwise, how could such a thing possibly happen?
"Is the secret message accurate?"
"Precise."
Li Hao said with a worried expression, "The main force of the Ten Suns Army Corps may have been captured alive."
Even though he thought about it in that direction, he didn't dare to believe that the intelligence was correct!
Because it's just too outrageous!
Zhao Xing, leading 30,000 men, not only escaped from the encirclement of 400,000 men, but also managed to kill the supreme commander, Nine Nether God.
In the Sever Heaven and Earth, this is the strongest combat power! The Nine Nether God is no ordinary Fifth Grade being. According to Yun Tian Dao, the Nine Nether God can probably unleash even greater combat power.
"What is the enemy's intention in fabricating such an outrageous story?" Li Hao immediately summoned Military Advisor strategists and advisors to discuss the matter.
Suddenly, one of the Military Advisor, after examining the map, said, "General, what if this is true? What if the Grand Minister of Agriculture really was a brilliant strategist and escaped?"
Looking at the route of the four crossings of the Heaven River, Li Hao couldn't help but sigh, "If that's really the case, then it's not just that the commanders are brilliant, but that the commanders are divine."
Li Hao's troops ultimately decided to continue their attack on Azure Moon Pass. He couldn't confirm the truth of the matter, but continuing the attack was definitely the right thing to do; in any case, if the news was true, a chain reaction would soon occur at Azure Moon Pass.
Meanwhile, Dong Ze's troops in the northeast also received a message from the Ten Suns Army Corps.
"The Ten Suns Army Corps has reached the area of ' North Mulberry Mausoleum ' and is expected to arrive at Hong'a City in three days. Please send troops to attack the four towns of Gongye, Fantuo, Daoyu to support the Ten Suns Army Corps — Hehe."
Dong Ze looked at the intelligence report and couldn't help but chuckle.
"The Grand Minister of Agriculture and the Ten Suns Army Corps are trapped in Min Land. How could they possibly have reached the North Mulberry Mausoleum area? This must be an enemy plot."
"Pass down the order: Wang Ji, this Mechanism Master, has either been captured alive by the enemy or has betrayed us. Do not trust any information he sends."
"There are probably ambushes in the four cities of Gongye, Fantuo, Daoyu, and Hong'a. Let's attack from another direction," Dong Ze shouted.
"We must reach Guiyang County as quickly as possible! Put pressure on the Nine Nether God!"
The main force for the rescue is Li Hao's Wu Yao Army, but Dong Ze's side must put pressure on them.
At this moment, like Li Hao, he did not believe the so-called intelligence about the Ten Suns Army Corps.
This greatly frustrated the members of the Ten Suns Army Corps.
"Damn it, why don't these old fogies believe it?" Long Xiao exclaimed excitedly.
"If you weren't in the Ten Suns Army Corps, would you believe me?" Chen Shijie asked.
"This—" Long Xiao was speechless.
If you put yourself in his shoes, he would also find it hard to believe.
It's just too outrageous.
"Wang Ji, did you report the secret message from the Military Yuqing Department Military Realm?" Xia Jing asked.
"They accused me of treason and blocked me," Wang Ji said helplessly.
Xia Jing said dejectedly, "Let's report it to someone else."
Zhao Xing laughed and said, "It's not their fault. It's alright. Let's wait a couple more days. Once the court receives the news from various sources, it will naturally confirm it."
At the end of April in the sixteenth year of Yuan Ding Era, the imperial court finally confirmed the news of the death of the Nine Nether God.
But Zhao Xing returned ahead of schedule.
While everyone else was skeptical, two people did believe it. One was Ye Yukong, who, after reviewing the intelligence and maps, immediately dispatched troops to attack Hong'a City. As a result, he discovered that the Ten Suns Army Corps was launching an attack from the other side.
The second person to write the letter was Liu Tianning, who had become Ye Yukong's Military Sima Nong. He didn't write it because he had analyzed anything; it was purely based on intuition that it truly sounded like Zhao Xing's voice.
So Ye Yukong called on the Divine Luo King and Liu Tianning to help Zhao Xing return.
Soon after, Dong Ze and Li Hao swiftly dispatched troops and launched a massive attack while the chaos was still raging.
On the tenth day of the fifth month, Zhao Xing successfully returned to the area where the Sever Heaven and Earth was severed.
"Finally, it's fucking out!"
At the border, there were rows of dilapidated Tower Ship and large heavy weapons. In this Sever Heaven and Earth border town, Zhao Xing met some familiar faces.
Yun Tian Dao, Ji Si, Liu Tianning, Ling Tianchen, Qiu Yuanshan —even Princess Youruo came.
"Welcome, Zhao King!"
The dense crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Zhao Xing stepped off the Tower Ship.
"Thank you all for waiting for so long."
Ji Si stepped forward and whispered, "His Majesty is unable to move and specially sent me to welcome you. Please ask Zhao King to come and pay him an audience as soon as you return."
"Okay, I understand." Zhao Xing nodded.
After Witch Moon God and Ji Che unleash the Sever Heaven and Earth, they will engage in a prolonged standoff.
In his previous life, almost every emperor who ascended to heaven would seize the opportunity when Witch Moon God used the Sever Heaven and Earth to stab the Human Emperor Sword into Witch Moon God's body.
Wu Emperor was the first to do this, as it was the only way to reduce the difficulty of Sever Heaven and Earth. Later people followed suit, which led to Witch Moon God being nicknamed "Sword Witch".
"I thought you were dead." Yun Tian Dao breathed a long sigh of relief as he watched Zhao Xing return. There was a hint of self-reproach in his eyes. Clearly, he felt guilty for not letting Zhao Xing step onto the Star Dou Cloud.
"I'm not that easy to die. I still need to help you find your family," Zhao Xing laughed. "You don't need to overthink it. Witch Moon God is coming for me. I definitely can't step on your cloud."
"Zhao Xing," came Liu Tianning's voice.
"Teacher." Zhao Xing looked past Yun Tian Dao and at Liu Tianning.
"It's good that you're back." Liu Tianning nodded. "I knew you wouldn't die."
"Thank you for your trust, teacher and General Ye."
"Let's go see His Majesty first. He has been missing you for a long time," Princess Youruo said with a smile.
"Good."
Netherworld King City, at the Tai Chi Palace.
Ji Che sat on the throne, with a celestial book floating above his head, Golden Light.
When Zhao Xing walked in, the Golden Light trembled, revealing Ji Che's excited heart.
"Hahaha, big brother, you're really back!"
"Crossing the Heaven River four times and even killing the Nine Nether God, awesome!"
Ji Che seemed to brighten up instantly, and the gloomy atmosphere of the entire hall became cheerful, as if he had returned to the carefree emperor he once was.
"I was lucky," Zhao Xing said with emotion. "If the Great Zhou hadn't prepared for so long, left so many spies in the Southern Barbarians, and had such a strong will among its soldiers, I probably wouldn't have been able to do this."
If it weren't for the Ten Suns Army Corps, it would probably be difficult to do so with any other army, because the Ten Suns Army Corps was the first to start [...].
The army, which Lawless Training ", is very used to this kind of combat. Senior generals such as Xia Jing, Long Xiao, and Chen Shijie are all old acquaintances. Even if they don't understand each other perfectly, their tacit understanding is also at its peak. When executing strategies, it would be difficult to break up into smaller units and then regroup into a large army without their leadership.
"Brother, tell me the details quickly!" Ji Che said excitedly. "I heard the news in mid-April, but I still want to hear you tell it again."
"Alright, I'll say it again." Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Around January 20th, we were trapped in Wind Witch City. At that time, I discovered that the three armies of the Nine Nether God had begun a sweep, so we had no choice but to cross the river to escape—."
Time passed quickly, and it was soon the 48th year of Yuan Ding Era. Twenty-two years had passed since Zhao Xing's return.
In the Yin You City, at the Agriculture Official Hall.
Zhao Xing was handling official business when Meng Kun suddenly rushed in.
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, good news! Great news!"
"Old Meng, what good news? You're so excited! Hasn't our Great Zhou had enough good news in recent years?" Zhao Xing laughed. "This time is different!" Meng Kun was so excited that he danced with joy. "The three imperial guards led by Luo King defeated the garrison of South Saint Pass on June 15th and occupied the four major cities of South Saint City, Profound Connection, and Witch God!"
"From this point on, there are no more Witch City on the road leading to the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain!"
"The Pilgrimage Plain is only a thousand miles away from the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain!"
"Oh?" Zhao Xing raised an eyebrow. "June 15th, it's early July now, doesn't that mean it happened more than half a month ago?"
"Wow, that's fast! I thought it wouldn't be over until August, but it's already more than a month ahead of schedule," Zhao Xing exclaimed. "The Grand Commandant truly lives up to his Grand Commandant."
"Compared to you, Grand Commandant, what is he?" Meng Kun said. "If you hadn't killed the Nine Nether God back then, accelerating the collapse of the Southern Barbarians army, it wouldn't have happened so quickly."
"Let's not dwell on the past," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "Brother Yun, get ready. I think His Majesty will be summoning us to climb the mountain soon."
Yun Tian Dao sighed, "I've been preparing for an entire era."
In the early spring of the forty-ninth year of Yuan Ding Era, a massive army, like a Pilgrimage Plain wave, swept across the entire pilgrimage plain.
Five-tiered Tower Ship roared past, and thousands upon thousands of flying boats filled the sky.
Auspicious Cloud illuminate the earth, and musicians and Dancer Master soar among them.
Ji Che sat on the throne, gazing at the clouds and mist ahead.
After passing through the area where the Sever Heaven and Earth.
Countless troops surrounded a towering mountain that seemed to reach the heavens.
"Your Majesty, ahead lies the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain, also known as Southern Sky Mountain, one of the Four Pillars Mountain."
"The Witch Moon God moved the sacred soil of the Three Pillars Mountains, making the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain higher and higher, while the other three mountains became lower and lower."
"It is precisely because of this that the other three pillar mountains have lost their divine charm, and their original power has disappeared."
"Zhao Xing stood next to Ji Che and introduced him.
"Your Majesty," King's Way Luo, "Nowadays, only a small number of shamans remain to guard the entire Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain. The Four Great Royal Courts have either fled or died, so they are no longer a threat."
"As long as we kill the Witch Moon God, we can break the Sever Heaven and Earth."
In the final battle, to kill the Witch Moon God, Ji Che himself must do it. This is a duel between the Witch and the Emperor, and no one else can interfere.
"I have finally waited for this day." Ji Che nodded slowly and stood up from the throne for the first time.
At the same time, the Witch Moon God on the mountaintop temple also raised her head and opened her eyes.
Civil and military officials began to ascend into the sky, and countless Divine Soldier Divine General generals surrounded the mountain peak.
Zhao Xing and Yun Tian Dao simultaneously unleashed the move "Yun Tian Dao".
The clouds over the entire Sacred Mountain were adjusted, forming a world of their own.
Everyone looked down at the small temple on the mountaintop.
"Thump!"
After Ji Che stepped down from the throne, war drums sounded in the sky, and the eight-hundred- Dancer Master Ji Mengjun began to lead the eight hundred Dancer Master in a dance.
"Cloud Gate Grand Scroll", the ultimate war dance!
Knock knock knock~
The majestic drumbeats resonated in everyone's hearts, Ji Che reached out and beckoned.
"Clang!"
A Golden Light flew out from the temple.
The Human Emperor Sword appeared in Ji Che's hand.
At the same time, the young man in white robes also walked out of the temple. He looked up at Ji Che and the countless Great Celestial Cycle Dynasty, and slowly rose into the sky.
For the first time, people other than Yun Tian Dao saw the true face of this legendary Witch Moon God.
He looked harmless, with a gentle expression, just like a boy next door, and had absolutely nothing to do with God.
But no one looked down on him, because on the chest of the white-robed youth was a terrifying wound that was healing rapidly.
This is precisely the wound inflicted by the Human Emperor Sword.
Historically, only the Witch Moon God has been able to withstand the Human Emperor Sword and survive.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to do anything?" Witch Moon God pointed to her wound. "I need a while to recover."
Now is the best time for you to take action.
"I will wait for you to recover," Ji Che said in a majestic voice.
If this were Old Master Zhao, he would probably have immediately drawn his sword and attacked, but this is Wu Emperor, and he wants to defeat Witch Moon God fair and square.
About half an hour later, the Witch Moon God's wounds had completely healed. He raised his head and said, "The dark universe is cruel and dangerous. Your Majesty, do you really want to go out?"
Ji Che pointed his sword at Witch Moon God, his body radiating light in layers. "You have erased your own Hero Soul and killed your own courage. I am here today to tell you that you are wrong, and terribly wrong."
As the Human Emperor Sword shone brighter and brighter, the clouds in the sky instantly turned golden.
Ji Che drew his sword and charged toward Witch Moon God.
As Ji Mengjun danced, the musicians began to chant loudly, the ancient and primitive melodies seeming to be calling for something.
Zhao Xing listened intently, seemingly gaining some insight.
Silver patterns suddenly appeared on Ji Che's body, quickly covering his entire body. The silver armor did not seem to be a solid object, and indeed it was not a solid object.
"The Heavenly Emperor Armor Heavenly Emperor Armor is summoned only after obtaining the [Chapter of Heavenly Music] and [Imperial Dance] from the Book of Fate and cultivating a Grand Dancer Master," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The shaman has the means to Sever Heaven and Earth, and the imperial lineage has also left behind many such means, among which the Heavenly Emperor Armor is a non-physical armor.
It can be described as World Star Dao Soldiers, but it is a special item because it cannot be taken away from the Realm Star or the small world; it is bound to the boundary star.
Only the emperor of Dynasty of Fate, whose power reaches a certain level, can summon it.
"Metaphor~"
As the Heavenly Emperor Armor appeared on Ji Che's body, a yellowish-brown book also appeared above his head.
This is not the Book of Fate, but the Earthly Emperor Book.
It has nothing to do with the Earthly Advantage Faction; it still needs to be summoned. It is hidden deep within the Earth Vein of the Nineteen Provinces, and can only be summoned when the nation's fortune reaches a certain level.
Human Emperor Sword, Heavenly Emperor Armor, Earthly Emperor Book.
One attack, one defense, and one recovery.
At this point, Witch Moon God was no longer a threat, because Ji Che was now invincible.
But Witch Moon God was determined to fight; it was a belief ingrained in his soul that he would stop Ji Che until the very last moment. "Sever Heaven and Earth, and all laws will cease to exist!" Witch Moon God pointed his finger, and two beams of Golden Light shot towards Ji Che.
This is Minor Divine Ability that Witch Moon God comprehended from the Sever Heaven and Earth. Its effects are similar, but its power is vastly different.
He uses a dojo to perform this, so its power is much less.
A phantom figure appeared behind Ji Che, holding a golden halberd, his expression majestic, his Golden Sound Jade Vibration throughout everyone's ears. "This is a privately owned area; no unauthorized entry is permitted!"
The Establish Dao Dharma Body established by the Grand Ancestor formed a large Dao field around Ji Che.
The two beams of magical light from Witch Moon God, one clear and one turbid, were immediately blocked.
"Dumb dumb~"
The temple behind the Witch Moon God suddenly seemed to come alive; the green tiles rippled, reflecting countless moons.
Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of Witch Moon God jumped out from the tiles.
"Mechanical supernatural power, the Witch Moon Avatar," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Ji Che brandished the Human Emperor Sword, and a Juzi flew out from his body, also multiplying into millions, and nailed towards each of the Witch Moon God.
"Ingenious mechanical powers, Immeasurable Divine Nails."
Zhao Xing looked closely. In the plot of his previous life, both Witch Moon God and Ji Che were masters of all professions.
Grand Ancestor himself came from Noble Families of mechanical experts, so Zhao Xing was able to see the fight between these two as a battle of the pinnacle of their respective professions.
Of course, Minor Divine Ability are not common. In fact, these two only possess Minor Divine Ability in the fields of martial arts, mechanical arts, and Agricultural Official arts.
But in an era where Ultimate Law was the ceiling, the fact that these two could even use Minor Divine Ability made them incredibly powerful.
"Swish swish swish~"
Ji Che also unleashed the Star Dou Cloud of the Yun Tian Dao. His movement speed was extremely fast. After the avatar of the Witch Moon God was destroyed, he began to use martial arts for close-quarters combat.
"The Emperor of Destiny learns things really fast. Yun Tian Dao has only been teaching him for a short time," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "However, in the universe version, being the Emperor of Destiny won't be so easy. It won't be so easy to expand, and without expansion, strength will be limited. Ji Che might rule for a thousand years, and the country's strength might not only not improve but actually regress. Then he will be stuck at one level forever."
"Clang!"
A loud bang interrupted Zhao Xing's thoughts, and a Blue Moon Staff appeared in Witch Moon God's hand at some point.
He wielded his staff, while Ji Che used his sword; the two became blurry figures in the blink of an eye—this was a duel in martial arts.
"!"
The aura of the Witch Moon God weakened with each collision.
Ji Che's aura grew stronger and stronger. Behind him appeared not only the phantom of the Grand Ancestor, but also the Xia Emperor and some historical emperors.
The shaman, however, cannot, because each generation of shamans has a portion of their remnant soul Reincarnation, so the shaman cannot borrow power from the previous generation.
"Boom!"
"Puff!"
At one point, Zhao Xing was able to see the trajectory of the two men clearly, which meant that the battle had already been decided.
At this moment, Ji Che's Human Emperor Sword plunged into the chest of the Witch Moon God, pinning him to the temple wall.
"Buzz~"
Ji Che approached Witch Moon God and said calmly, "Wu, you've lost. Hand over the Spiritual Qi Pearl."
Looking at the sword on her body, Witch Moon God's voice finally showed a hint of emotion. "Why do I always lose? You've never come back, you've been hurting this world all along—"
He didn't look at Ji Che, but instead looked in the direction of Zhao Xing in the sky. "Isn't it good to live in the Profound Yellow World? We can all live for a long time by waiting for the spiritual rain to fall naturally. Why do we have to go out and explore?"
Zhao Xing hadn't expected this part of the plot to involve him. Logically, after the Witch was defeated by the Emperor, his lines should have been. "How ironic that you used mortals to ascend to Attaining Dao —I will definitely return, but you never will! The next Witch, he will surely stop the Emperor's foolish actions!"
However, Old Master Zhao was not intimidated. He immediately carried Shennong Hoe down and landed on the bluestone steps, just as Witch Moon God had predicted.
Zhao Xing did not answer, but instead asked, "Every generation of shamans has tried to obstruct it, yet always to no avail. Do you know why?"
The Witch Moon God asked, "Why?"
Zhao Xing calmly said, "Because life always finds a way out."
"Exploration and curiosity are human nature. You can suppress your own nature, but you can't suppress everyone else's."
Witch Moon God remained silent for a moment, then opened his palm, and a crystal bead appeared out of thin air in his hand. "I will be reborn again, until I see the path to survival."
After saying this, the body of the Witch Moon God began to disintegrate inch by inch.
Ji Che frowned, because he could not see the soul of the Witch Moon God, nor could he stop such disintegration. It was like an unbreakable rule, or perhaps the way of heaven in the dark.
He felt that Witch Moon God had disappeared into the world and entered the Yin Realm, but Ji Che could no longer sense Witch Moon God's soul, as if she had truly died completely.
Zhao Xing took the Spiritual Qi Pearl and sensed the abundant spiritual energy within it. He couldn't help but smile, "It has been 467 years. Born in Renewal Era, it has lived through New Splendor Era, Great Governance Era, Eternal Governance Era, Yuan Hunting Era, Yuanshuo Era. Finally, in the 49th year of Yuan Ding Era, I saw the hope of ascension."
"The cosmic version, the path to immortality, here I come!"
