Border, Mountain and River Pass.
A legion of soldiers, clad entirely in purple armor and wielding long, crescent-shaped swords, had assembled outside Mountain and River Pass and were fiercely attacking the city.
Their numbers were around four thousand, and the members were highly skilled. With each swing of their swords, the blade's energy would converge and strike the defenses of Mountain and River Pass, causing the defensive shield on the opposite side to teeter on the brink of collapse.
This force is none other than the Maha Corps, one of the strongest legions in the Nine Nether Netherworld, under the command of the Manju Sacred King.
There is currently a high-level Heavenly Army defending Mountain and River Pass, but unfortunately, Mountain and River Pass was captured by the Thunder Division just one day ago, and the city defenses on the city walls were basically destroyed by the Thunder Division at that time.
These defending forces simply don't have enough time to build a defensive line, and their city's defensive advantage is almost nonexistent.
"I never imagined that the cooperation between your Nine Nether Netherworld and the Chen Kingdom was so deep that even you, the Lord of the Netherworld, had personally come."
In the air, the Divine Lord Xuanji, dressed in a red robe and draped with purple ribbons, looking like a fairy, was panting heavily, her eyes filled with deep apprehension as she looked ahead.
Standing opposite her was none other than the Manju Sacred King, who had successfully refined the Heart of the Netherworld and ascended to the position of Lord of the Netherworld.
Now that she has become a deity, she is no longer called the Manju Sacred King, but rather the Manju, God of the Other Shore.
In fact, three years ago, Manju had already basically completed the fusion with the Heart of the Netherworld, and her true form was able to leave the Nine Nether Netherworld to participate in the battle.
However, Chen Mu was in no hurry to reveal this trump card, and he rarely even used the Netherworld's army, all to prevent other variables from arising.
Since the war between the Chen Kingdom and Heavenly Court began, the Abyss Devil Race has been unusually calm. Even when the White Turtle severely punished the Winged Devil Clan on the Starry Sky Road, the Abyss Devil Race did not retaliate.
He was well aware that the Abyss Devil Race wanted the Chen Kingdom to weaken the Heavenly Court, since the Heavenly Court was the Abyss Devil Race ' number one enemy.
However, this does not mean that the Abyss Devil Race will not resort to violence at crucial moments, and the Netherworld Legion is what he left behind to guard against the Abyss Devil Race.
However, now is the time to make use of it. As long as this battle achieves the desired effect, the Heavenly Court Army brought by Heavenly King Linlang will no longer be a threat.
There are many things you don't know!
"That old bastard Linlang, I'll make sure he dies a horrible death sooner or later."
Originally, Manju was about to capture Mountain and River Pass with the Maha Corps, but Divine Lord Xuanji suddenly appeared and helped the high-ranking heavenly soldiers here to block Manju.
Clearly, Chen Mu had a trump card up his sleeve, and so did his opponent.
Divine Lord Xuanji does not belong to the Fourth Heaven. Although she came to the Pan Emperor Continent with Heavenly King Linlang, she does not need to obey Heavenly King Linlang's orders, so she has not participated in the battle.
Only then did the Heavenly King Linlang pay a small price to send her over.
Whoosh...! Clang clang clang!
Manju spread her sleeves, and countless slender red rays spread across the sky, sweeping towards Divine Lord Xuanji, but were blocked by the starlight surrounding him.
"A single thought blossoms, and the world is transformed."
Manju quickened her attack, and a huge dimensional phantom appeared behind her; that dimensional phantom was clearly the Nine Nether Netherworld.
Although Manju has only recently merged with the Nine Nether Netherworld, she is considered a newly ascended deity.
However, the Nine Nether Netherworld was once a high-level plane. Even though it has declined now, Manju, after borrowing its power, is already comparable to the Late Void God Realm.
Whoosh... Countless bright red and alluring spider lilies bloomed within the illusory plane, emanating an extremely eerie Soul Power that pulled Divine Lord Xuanji into it, causing him to sink deeper and deeper.
"Power of the stars, protect me!"
Divine Lord Xuanji ascended to godhood through the Great Dao of Stars, and can borrow the power of the stars. Her strength is much greater in the starry sky, but she has no advantage within the plane.
Furthermore, she was only at the Middle Void God Realm, while Manju, after borrowing the power of the plane, was comparable to the Late Void God Realm, and at this moment she completely suppressed Divine Lord Xuanji.
" Maha Corps, launch a full-scale attack!"
Manju knew that it would be easy for her to suppress Divine Lord Xuanji, but it would be almost impossible to kill her. So after suppressing Divine Lord Xuanji, she immediately deployed some of the dimensional power below to help the Maha Corps take Mountain and River Pass.
Boom!
With Manju's help, the Maha Corps finally broke through the Heavenly Legion's weak city defenses, and the two armies clashed in close combat.
"For our Emperor, kill!"
The Maha Corps has a long history and was once famous throughout the starry sky during the time of the Nether Great Emperor. Although it was not as good as the Heavenly Court Eight Division Army, it was only slightly inferior.
Although the quality of the Maha Corps members declined somewhat due to the decline of the Netherworld, they have always maintained their fine traditions.
After Chen Mu helped Manju unify the Nine Nether Netherworld, the Netherworld has had more than ten years to recuperate. The White Turtle even helped them build Starry Sky Passage, allowing them to participate in interstellar trade.
After more than a decade of recuperation, the Maha Legion has finally regained some of its former glory, so how could it not be able to deal with the high-ranking celestial soldiers here?
Boom! Clang clang clang...!
In battles between high-level cultivators, the earth cracks and mountains collapse at will. Without the protection of runes, the city walls are as fragile as tofu, constantly crumbling in close combat.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the entire Mountain and River Pass was reduced to ruins. The Heavenly Army had no more defensible positions and could only confront the Maha Corps head-on.
Even so, the Heavenly Army here did not retreat.
This is because the number of heavenly soldiers who accompanied the Thunder Legion into the heart of the Chen Kingdom exceeded 20,000, and there were also more than 100,000 elite troops from the Haotian Empire.
If they abandon Mountain and River Pass, it would be tantamount to abandoning all the soldiers inside. No matter how magnanimous Heavenly King Linlang, he cannot possibly abandon so many soldiers as if they were cabbages.
However, it seems that even if they don't want to give up, it's useless at the moment.
Even if the high-ranking celestial legions block the Maha Corps, as long as the Maha Corps remain entangled with them here, the retreating Heavenly Court army will not escape and will only be gradually annihilated.
"That scoundrel Chen Kingdom, what a cunning scheme!"
Heavenly Emperor City, Heavenly King Linlang took a deep breath to calm his anger.
Before him floated an ancient bronze mirror in mid-air. As long as he poured his Primordial Spirit power into it, he could see the war scenes in the far distance.
Inside the bronze mirror, the Heavenly Court Army was being besieged by countless Chen Kingdom troops. Although these troops were generally not very strong, they were extremely cunning and often took advantage of their numerical superiority to bite and run away, leaving the Heavenly Court Army with no way to exert its strength.
