Off to War!

"Definitely," you said.

Xuanyuan Tian Ji descended the steps and walked to the center of the square.

She raised the dark-gold token in her hand. In the morning light, it burst into a blinding radiance that shot straight into the sky.

"Xuanji Hall Realm Array, activate!"

Her voice, cool and commanding, rang throughout Xuanji Hall.

The void split open.

It was no ordinary Space Rift, but a vast gateway woven from countless golden Formation Patterns.

The gateway stood a hundred zhang tall and dozens of zhang wide. Dense Formation Patterns covered its frame.

Every pattern flowed like a golden river.

Beyond the gateway lay not the Chaos Void, but...

"Everyone—" You raised the Dingjun Sword, its dark-gold light illuminating every face.

Three thousand elite soldiers filed through the golden gateway.

Their figures flashed within its frame, then vanished beyond the light.

Luo Yiyi led the way. Her silhouette lingered in the gateway for an instant before she stepped through without looking back.

Ye Chuxue followed close behind, her pale-blue dress flashing through the golden light like a bolt of icy-blue lightning.

Mounted on a Dragon Beast, Situ Hao Yue led five hundred cavalrymen charging into the gateway. Golden ripples spread through the void beneath their mounts' hooves.

The Peerless War King reached the gateway, stopped, and glanced back at you.
