In the sixth month of the Chen Kingdom's invasion of the Heavenly Puppet World, Chen Kingdom's territory in the Heavenly Puppet World had nearly doubled.
The Chen Kingdom has already occupied one-fifth of the entire Heavenly Puppet World.
But at this moment, the people of the Heavenly Puppet Sect did not feel discouraged. On the contrary, they were full of fighting spirit and confidence.
In the following two months, the Chen Kingdom's warriors suffered heavy losses, especially in the last few days, when several powerful machine legions fell into traps and were directly turned into piles of scrap metal by the Heavenly Puppet Sect cultivators' formations.
The Chen Kingdom has a total of less than 100,000 troops, and at least 20,000 have been lost in the past month. Although the Heavenly Puppet Sect has also lost more than 100,000 cultivators, this loss is completely within their acceptable range for the Heavenly Puppet World, which has millions of cultivators.
Although the territory occupied by the Chen Kingdom has expanded, the threat they pose to the Heavenly Puppet World has actually decreased. Recently, the battle between the two sides has changed from a one-sided affair to a back-and-forth struggle with both sides experiencing victories and defeats.
Such a record greatly boosted Fang Mingda's confidence, and he sent more and more troops to the front lines, even planning to launch a counterattack.
After all, he was also worried that the Chen Kingdom would send reinforcements. Only by driving the Chen Kingdom out of the Heavenly Puppet World as soon as possible could they truly feel at ease.
At this moment, inside the Chen Kingdom military base.
More than thirty rune warships were docked on the open ground, and squads of soldiers marched in orderly fashion into the rune warships.
"Sect Leader, we are ready and will depart immediately!"
You must keep a close eye on Song Yunting for me. If you notice anything unusual, please notify me immediately.
A Huo held up his cell phone and communicated with Li Sifan.
Normally, a plane lord is absolutely invincible within their own plane. Even a True God Realm expert entering Void God Realm plane would not be able to kill the Void God Realm plane lord, and might even be killed by the Void God Realm plane lord in return.
However, after the two planes are connected by a spatial tunnel, the aura of the Heavenly Dao of the two worlds will interfere with each other. Therefore, even within the Heavenly Dao range of the Heavenly Puppet World, Li Sifan can slightly resist Song Yunting, preventing him from harming others.
"I know! I'll hold off Song Yunting, but that's all I can do for you."
Be careful in everything you do. If things become unworkable, retreat immediately. Never put yourself in danger.
Since its founding, the Sword-Questioning Sect has produced many talented disciples, but those who can cultivate Sword Dao to this level at such A Huo young age are extremely rare.
Therefore, Li Sifan valued A Huo highly. If A Huo hadn't been unwilling to return to the Sword-Questioning Sect, he would have wanted to pass on his mantle to him.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandmaster. This disciple will certainly be careful."
After A Huo finished communicating with Li Sifan, he turned around and went back inside to head to the command room of the military base.
Inside the command center, an elderly man in a long robe was bustling about among numerous runic instruments, constantly adjusting various parameters to ensure everything went perfectly.
"Senior Landuo, we can set off now. Is everything alright here?"
Landuo was the head of the Rune Master department during this attack on the Heavenly Puppet World.
He brought hundreds of people from the Rune Research Institute, all of whom were Rune Research Institute. This invasion of the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Puppet World was also a rare opportunity for them to put their knowledge into practice.
"No problem, we can launch the intrusion at any time."
With the help of gene-enhancing drugs from the Biology Department, he now looks only about fifty years old, full of energy, with shiny black hair, and no longer has the old and decrepit appearance he once had.
"Alright, then start now!"
After A Huo gave the order, Landuo immediately ordered his men to turn on all the Rune Core devices here and run them at maximum power.
Not long after, an incredibly thick purple beam of light shot into the sky from above the military base, piercing the clouds and seemingly radiating an invisible force that was influencing the world.
On the Heavenly Puppet Peak, Song Yunting sensed a slight unease. He slowly opened his eyes and glanced towards the northwest of the Heavenly Puppet World.
However, after carefully sensing the surroundings, he found nothing unusual. He then sent a telepathic message to all the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, warning them to be on high alert. Afterward, he closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.
Unbeknownst to him, in the far northwest, over thirty rune warships, carrying more than ten thousand soldiers, were rapidly approaching his location, shrouded in mist.
A decisive battle, a matter of life and death, is slowly unfolding.
Inside the military base, Landuo and hundreds of the Chen Kingdom rune masters were manipulating rune instruments, battling against the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Puppet World.
In the very center of the control room, there are virtual projections of dozens of warships.
Every time the warship takes a step forward, a long string of blue data light bands appears. These blue data light bands are evolved by Landuo and his team. They erase the warship's traces, making it impossible for the Heavenly Dao to perceive its existence.
"The Yi (易) is about images; images are representations!"
Suddenly, a young man emerged from the void and came to Landuo's side. He looked around at the intricate Rune Artifacts and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
" Landuo, the head of the Artifact Refining Department at the Rune Research Institute. Greetings, Sect Master Li."
Landuo was not surprised by Li Sifan's arrival.
He had heard A Huo mention that Li Sifan was very curious about how the Rune Research Institute had invaded the Heavenly Dao, so he had long anticipated that Li Sifan would likely come to observe when he interfered with the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Puppet World.
"No need for formalities. Just do your own thing and don't worry about me."
Li Sifan smiled and cupped his hands in a friendly gesture towards Landuo.
"It's alright. This invasion of the Heavenly Puppet World went more smoothly than I expected. So far, there seem to be no problems."
As the master of this plane, Sect Leader Li must have a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao. If he could offer some advice, that would be wonderful."
Landuo was extremely enthusiastic about Li Sifan's observation, especially after Li Sifan's two sentences, which clearly showed that he had seen through the technical principles they used to deal with the Heavenly Dao.
The study of the Book of Changes contains the principles of the changes in all things.
To think that you could transform the process of all things into numbers and runes for deduction, and even interfere with the operation of the Heavenly Dao, is truly absurd and unprecedented!
While Li Sifan's tone expressed admiration for the Rune Research Institute's method of invading the Heavenly Dao, it also revealed a hint of incomprehension.
