The armies of the two immortal dynasties seemed unaffected by yesterday's bloody battle between the dragons and phoenixes. On the surface, their military bearing remained formidable.
But a closer look revealed some subtle differences.
The cultivators of the You Xiong Immortal Army were clearly in better spirits than those of the Heng Yue Immortal Army.
The destruction of the entire Phoenix Clan had undoubtedly affected the morale of the Heng Yue Immortal Dynasty.
Chao Heng had naturally noticed the army's low morale, but he did not take it to heart.
The drop in morale was only temporary, and there was no sign that the army would collapse immediately.
Once this decisive battle was over, they could recover after resting for a while.
But Chao Heng was clearly too confident. Ji Shui had noticed this weakness—would he give Chao Heng a chance to regroup?
"Chao Heng, you and I share the bloodline of You Chao Shi. Today, as the ruler of You Xiong, I invite you to a fair battle. Do you dare accept?"
Ji Shui's voice suddenly rang out across the battlefield.
The moment his voice sounded, everyone on the battlefield was shaken.
This was the first time most people of the You Xiong and Heng Yue Immortal Dynasties had learned that their two rulers actually shared the same bloodline.
How could that not shock them?
Everyone looked toward the voice and saw that, protected by Qingfeng and Holy Mother Wudang on either side, Ji Shui had already stepped out from the army formation's protection and arrived in the air before the great formation.
Ji Shui stood in the void. Behind him was the You Xiong Immortal Army, numbering more than a hundred million, while before him was the enemy Heng Yue army formation. He had personally challenged Chao Heng.
