West side of Mount Taishi.
A certain stronghold belonging to the Heavenly Stem Alliance has become the main battlefield for the clash between the two alliances.
It's ironic, really:
The one who chose this stronghold was one of the first batch of Emperor Venerable to vie for it.
They had assumed that choosing a less important stronghold, avoiding the central battle line, and with minimal damage to the fortresses and formations, would offer a much higher level of security.
But the result--
The three Invincible Emperor Venerable overlords of the Earthly Branch Alliance, leading dozens of powerhouses at the Emperor Venerable Limit strength, launched a surprise attack!
Within a few breaths:
This stronghold was breached; the formation was destroyed, the fortress was almost razed to the ground, and more than a dozen Peak Emperor Venerable were killed on the spot, none of them able to escape.
However, it was precisely in those few breaths that Great Emperor Blazing Sun and Hemp-Robed Ancestor were able to lead the Heavenly Stem Alliance's mobile force to intercept the Earthly Branch Alliance's surprise attack at this stronghold.
A fierce battle erupted between the two sides over the ruins of the fortress.
"Boom..."
Space shattered, mountains shook, and terrifying aftershocks of power ripped through the sky, turning hundreds of billions of miles of land into a near-apocalyptic landscape.
Hundreds of Emperor Venerable Limit experts fought each other fiercely, dividing the entire battlefield into smaller battle groups. Dao techniques Divine Weapon bombarded each other in turn, making the battle unprecedentedly brutal.
Above the central fortress ruins:
The Great Emperor Blazing Sun and the Hemp-Robed Ancestor are currently engaged in a fierce battle with three super overlords of the Earthly Branch Alliance.
The sheer force of their battle was earth-shattering, capable of obliterating the sun and moon; the mere aftershocks of their power were enough to reduce an ordinary Peak Emperor Venerable to dust on the spot.
The two powerful figures at the Emperor Venerable Limit dared not rashly intervene in their battle, but instead kept their distance, leaving a large, clearly defined empty area on the battlefield.
"Boom!" "Thud!"...
The clash of Daoist arts and the collision of Divine Weapon resembled a battle between celestial beings.
Look closely:
Of the three overlords of the Earthly Branch Alliance, one was entangled with the Hemp-Robed Ancestor, while the other two besieged the Great Emperor Blazing Sun.
The Great Emperor Blazing Sun was surrounded by golden-red flames. With every move he made, it was as if thousands of stars were exploding at once, carrying boundless light and heat, making his offensive power unparalleled!
Within a radius of billions of miles, everything was burned to ashes, and even the solid mountain cliffs further away were melted and baked into translucent, turbid crystals like glass.
Among the members of the Heavenly Stems Council:
The Great Emperor Blazing Sun was known for his direct attacks, his fearsome reputation resounding throughout the Endless Battlefield.
However:
His opponent, however, was no ordinary person either.
"Huff... huff..."
Great Emperor Blazing Sun was breathing heavily, his eyes were red, and he was covered in injuries.
His bright red robes were torn in several places, stained with blood, and his hair ornaments were disheveled, making him look quite disheveled.
"Damn scum!"
He cursed angrily, his powerful divine sense sweeping across all directions, closely capturing every abnormal fluctuation in space:
"Come out and fight me head-on if you dare!"
A faint white phantom stood directly in front of him, letting out a soft laugh:
"Brother Yanyang, why provoke us like this?"
"The way of battle lies in playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses. Brother Yanyang's frontal attacks are unmatched in power, so why would we engage in a direct confrontation with you?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor Blazing Sun spat and cursed:
"Cowardly wretch!"
The white phantom remained unperturbed, smiling broadly as it said:
"Say what you will, but today we cannot escape defeat!"
The Great Emperor Blazing Sun was filled with raging anger and felt extremely frustrated.
The two who joined forces to attack him were both extremely skilled in sensing, and were able to anticipate his moves and take measures to restrain, block, and neutralize them.
The other person was even more cunning, like a rat in a sewer, with a level of concealment rarely seen in the world. He lurked in the shadows, ready to launch a sneak attack at any moment.
The two worked together flawlessly, and in a short time, he was severely injured and completely at a disadvantage, only able to passively cope.
"If this continues, I'm afraid..."
Great Emperor Blazing Sun was extremely anxious and his mood was heavy.
The Earthly Branch Alliance, having set a trap beforehand, mobilized far more forces at Mount Taishi than the Heavenly Stem Alliance.
On the main battlefield, the two sides were barely at a stalemate, with the Earthly Branch Alliance holding a slight advantage.
But the remaining fortresses and strongholds are probably already in dire straits and on the verge of collapse. If even one or two are breached, it will lead to a snowballing defeat!
By then--
Not only has the Heavenly Stem Alliance's operation ended in utter failure, but it will also completely lose the strategic location of Mount Taishi, and even its own life will be in danger!
Damn it!
His mind raced with thoughts as he cursed:
"Are all those people in ' Heavenly Bohai Sea ' just sitting around doing nothing?"
" The Earthly Branch Alliance secretly mobilized so many people this time, and no one noticed at all, causing me to fall into their trap..."
In the instant his thought crossed his mind:
"Pfft!"
A sharp blade suddenly pierced his lower back, and a piercing pain shot through him, causing him to scream in agony!
His crimson robe was torn, and another deep wound appeared on his body; his life force had weakened slightly.
"Die!"
He roared and threw a punch with his backhand, which was like a thousand suns exploding, and the space around him shattered and collapsed!
But at the very moment he made his move:
The white phantom also made its move instantly. A hazy light flashed, and Great Emperor Blazing Sun's eyes glazed over for a moment, causing his movements to slow down involuntarily.
In that mere fraction of a second, the person who attacked him had already vanished and disappeared into the shadows once more.
"Hahaha..."
The white phantom chuckled mockingly:
"You dared to be distracted while fighting the two of us? You're truly fearless!"
Another sinister voice came from all directions:
"Good!"
"Brother Yanyang, instead of worrying about your subordinates, you should worry about your own life!"
Fuck you!
Great Emperor Blazing Sun was furious, and he cursed incessantly:
"You two little brats! Cowards! Disgusting scum!"
"Don't give me a chance, or else..."
The white phantom remained completely unfazed by his incessant cursing, keeping a close eye on his movements and preparing for a sudden attack.
An Invincible Emperor Venerable powerhouse has no weaknesses in any aspect. His life-saving and escape techniques are also extremely powerful. He is easy to defeat, but very difficult to kill.
Even if the two of them joined forces, they couldn't say for sure they could keep him here.
so:
His attention remained focused on Great Emperor Blazing Sun, and he paid no attention to the overall battle situation at Mount Taishi.
With the Earthly Branch Alliance having laid traps and projected so much power, unless a major unexpected event occurs, defeating their opponent is only a matter of time.
However, at this very moment:
"Boom!"
A golden beam of light, imposing and dazzling, roared in from afar and crashed straight into the front lines of the battlefield!
