After the Dark Emperor's voice fell:
He transformed into a streak of jet-black divine light and retreated towards the northern sea area of the Heavenly Bohai Sea.
The Emperor Huan and the Nine Phoenix Empress outside Orchid Court Fortress had a look of resentment on their faces.
Especially the Nine Phoenix Empress:
Her porcelain doll-like face was tense, her eyes blazing with anger, and she felt incredibly frustrated.
This failed attempt was entirely her fault, and it severely damaged her prestige, making her extremely upset.
But it's too late now:
She also had to admit that this plan had failed, and there was no point in persisting.
"Walk..."
She glared at Chen Qingyu, then, along with the Emperor Huan and the Dark Emperor, transformed into divine light and retreated.
After they retreated from Orchid Court Fortress:
"Clang!" "Clang!"...
The clear sound of the bell resounded throughout the northern and southern fronts of the Heavenly Bohai Sea region.
The Emperor Venerable of the Earthly Branch Alliance immediately retreated like a tide, fleeing in all directions.
The Emperor Venerable of the Heavenly Stem Alliance wanted to pursue and kill him, but when they saw the divine light that blotted out the sky, they had to give up the idea.
The multiple beams of divine light that had been entangled in the distance paused for a moment, then slowly retreated to both sides.
"Call..."
Chen Qingyu took a deep breath, his heart heavy.
This ambush was incredibly dangerous. If he had created the technique to counter it any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
" The Earthly Branch Alliance..."
A chilling glint flashed in his eyes.
He is not a puppet or a clay figure.
The Earthly Branch Alliance attacked him repeatedly, nearly killing him at both the Great Tomb of a Thousand Autumns and the Heavenly Bohai Sea battlefield.
It would be impossible for him to be without anger.
"I'll remember this grudge!"
His heart was burning with rage:
"There will surely be a day when I can repay you!"
"Junior Brother!"
A burst of starlight swept in, revealing the figure of the Great Emperor Wanxing.
"Junior brother! Are you alright?"
Chen Qingyu turned his head and saw his sixth senior brother, whose clothes were torn and whose body was covered in blood. His heart warmed instantly.
It is obvious:
The sixth senior brother must have paid a heavy price to come and save him, suffering serious injuries.
"Sixth Senior Brother, I'm alright!"
He smiled and comforted her:
"Those three alone can't take my life."
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor Wanxing breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good, that's good..."
He looked at Chen Qingyu and said with remorse:
"Junior brother, it's all my fault."
"Knowing full well that the Earthly Branch Alliance might set a trap this time, we still sent you into battle..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu shook his head and said:
"Senior brother, this isn't your fault."
"The enemy has employed an open strategy. If I don't step in, the battle line will surely collapse today, falling in a complete rout!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Orchid Court Fortress behind him and smiled slightly:
"Besides, the greater the risk, the higher the reward, isn't that right?"
"This time, the Earthly Branch Alliance's plan has failed, and they must have suffered heavy losses."
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor Wanxing also laughed:
"Good!"
"We already have more manpower than them, especially the overlords at the Emperor Venerable Limit and the Invincible Emperor Venerable, giving us a significant advantage."
"This time, without any Half-Step Heavenly Lord level combatants interfering in the battle, we have achieved a comprehensive advantage for the first time."
" The Earthly Branch Alliance lost over two thousand Emperor Venerable in less than half an hour of fighting."
"You have to understand, they don't have the manpower to replace them. This loss is crippling."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh:
"After this battle, they will have to think twice before acting, and may not dare to take the risk again."
"It can be said that your victory has bought our overall strategy valuable breathing space."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded slightly and said:
"Sixth Senior Brother, let's go back first."
"I need to go into seclusion to cultivate and complete my breakthrough as soon as possible."
"Next time I go into battle, I'll make them pay!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor Wanxing nodded and said:
"Good!"
Soon, the two flew away and hurriedly returned to Heavenly Sea Fortress.
This plan to eliminate Chen Qingyu ended in a dismal failure; the Earthly Branch Alliance suffered a crushing defeat.
Chen Qingyu also became famous overnight!
It was he who held back three Half-Step Heavenly Lord, thus creating an opportunity for the Heavenly Stem Alliance to launch a counterattack!
The mighty name of the Great Emperor Wanjie not only resounded throughout the Heavenly Bohai Sea, but also spread to the outside world, causing a sensation throughout the Endless Battlefield.
Time flies.
After the Battle of Orchid Court Fortress, Chen Qingyu stayed at Heavenly Sea Fortress, cultivating diligently behind closed doors.
The Heavenly Stem Alliance and the Earthly Branch Alliance also fought many battles during this period.
The Emperor Huan, the Dark Emperor, and others were clearly still unwilling to give up and were trying to find an opportunity to attack Chen Qingyu again and eliminate this future great enemy.
But unfortunately:
The effects of the previous defeat are already becoming apparent.
Due to the heavy losses suffered on the Heavenly Bohai Sea battlefield, the Earthly Branch Alliance had to draw on its reserve forces to support Heavenly Bohai Sea.
This caused their plan to attack the ring defense line and cut off the lifeline of the Heavenly Stem Alliance to fail.
Several World Wars:
Great Emperor Wanxing and others fiercely protected Heavenly Sea Fortress, preventing the seven Half-Step Heavenly Lord of the Earthly Branch Alliance from finding any opportunity.
They were frantic with worry, but helpless. They could only watch as Chen Qingyu grew stronger day by day, the guillotine hanging over their necks drawing ever closer.
Until this day:
In the meditation chamber of the Heavenly Bohai Sea.
"Boom!"
A vast and boundless, supreme aura surged forth through the array's restrictions.
Twenty-four divine lights shone brightly, shaking the heavens and the surrounding lands, causing astonishment from all directions.
Without a doubt:
This is the power of Half-Step Heavenly Lord Monarch, and it far surpasses that of the two major alliances and all the current Half-Step Heavenly Lord!
"..."
Chen Qingyu slowly opened his eyes, revealing a faint smile.
" The Late Emperor Venerable has finally been achieved."
"I've waited for this day for far too long..."
He clenched his fist, feeling the vast and boundless power within him, and a surge of unprecedented confidence welled up within him.
After reaching the Late Emperor Venerable:
The twenty-four Upper-Tier Law of the Dao of Myriad Calamities all stepped into the Half-Step Heavenly Lord realm!
Even now, he doesn't know just how powerful he truly is!!
"Boom!"
He stood up, casually flicked his sleeve, and the door to the quiet room swung open with a bang.
He stepped out and saw Great Emperor Wanxing and the others waiting outside the door, their faces filled with excitement as they stared at him.
"Junior brother..."
Great Emperor Wanxing beamed with joy:
You broke through?
"Right!"
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly.
"Great! That's wonderful!"
"Hahaha... After all the suffering comes happiness!"
The white-haired old man and the dignified empress standing to the side were overjoyed.
"Sixth Senior Brother, there are three more."
Chen Qingyu's gaze was deep as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly:
"I have already reached this point, and the balance of power has been reversed!"
"It's time to launch a counterattack against the Earthly Branch Alliance!"
"I will make them pay for their crimes in blood!"
