Many people had gathered beneath the temple, each craning their neck to look up at the sky.
Enormous Sky Arks appeared above the temple, spanning the heavens like colossal beasts looking down upon the earth, bearing down on everyone with terrifying pressure.
Countless warriors stood aboard the Sky Arks, each upright as a spear, their blades and swords flashing coldly. A thick aura of slaughter swept through like an autumn wind, chilling heaven and earth.
"One, two... thirty... fifty..."
"Heavens, so many Sky Arks! The sect is serious this time. They've sent so many, and they're still coming and going!"
"The Mechanical Empire dared invade the Ancient Realm and attack our Tianli Sect! What are we waiting for? Wipe them out!"
Countless warriors discussed the spectacle unfolding in the sky.
In the past, the concealing Great Array had been activated whenever reinforcements arrived, so no one had ever witnessed such a scene. This time, nothing was concealed, and everyone could clearly see this breathtaking sight.
"We're in trouble!"
Three people stood among the crowd: Mu Yunlan, Yu Qingzi, and Hua Xianling.
Clearly, Yu Qingzi and Hua Xianling had both advanced to the heavenly human realm, their bodies radiating the fluctuations of that realm. Yet all three wore grim expressions.
"Not another word. Let's leave before we talk!"
Yu Qingzi grabbed Mu Yunlan's arm and gave him a meaningful look.
The three quietly slipped out of the crowd and moved somewhere farther away. Watching the divine arks still appearing in the sky, their expressions grew solemn.
"I'm afraid the Tianli Sect is serious this time. I wonder whether the other side can hold out!"
Mu Yunlan spoke gravely.
"Whether they hold out or not, the Thirteen Alliances will probably suffer devastating losses. They'll all become cannon fodder for the Mechanical Empire!"
