Weird Emperor Jiu Wu was dead.
The boundless Strange Tide surged through the Yellow Springs Mouth Region, sweeping across the land like a tidal wave. This was only the vanguard, yet everywhere one looked, the creatures were packed so tightly there was nowhere to set foot.
No one cared about the Ghost Emperor's death.
Or rather...
One giant tortoise cared.
Within the Strange Tide...
An enormous Illusory Black Tortoise moved against the current. The instant the explosion erupted, it gazed toward Weird Emperor Jiu Wu and stopped running for the first time in days, standing silently in place.
Several breaths later, it slowly dissipated.
It dissolved into white motes and vanished completely from Heaven and Earth.
Its target was dead.
The Black Tortoise perished of its own accord.
Closer.
Closer, ever closer.
Standing atop the City Wall of Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line One, Chen Fan stared expressionlessly at the charging Strange Tide in the distance. He had never seen one of this magnitude.
Without the defense line...
No one would have had the courage to face a Strange Tide of this scale.
Even the Mortal Domain Members standing on the City Wall held their breath, their legs trembling slightly. Before a Strange Tide of such magnitude, humanity seemed far too insignificant.
The next instant—
The Vein Patterns on all 27,000 Godslayer Cannons atop the twenty-seven-kilometer Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line lit up together. Then...
Like fireworks whose fuses had suddenly caught...
Fueled by the Copper Pipes, twenty-seven thousand Godslayer Cannons lit up instantly and began to roar!
The sky trembled.
The earth shook.
As twenty-seven thousand Godslayer Cannons unleashed an indiscriminate, all-out bombardment at such a narrow valley entrance, the entire world shook. Red Grade shells soared into the air like locusts.
They stained the entire battlefield
