The March Begins, the Great Battle Starts
"Primordial Beginning Divine Punishment Cannon? What is that?" Li Yunjing asked, his face full of confusion.
Qingyun said, "Senior, this is a powerful Spirit Treasure developed by the three Dao Lords. Once fully charged, it is enough to destroy the entire Eastern Domain Southern Region."
Previously, the Ice God had secretly gone to the Holy Domain to find his old friend, and only then did he learn of this matter from his old friend.
Furthermore, the Primordial Beginning Divine Punishment Cannon is currently charging. Once fully charged, it will be a devastating blow to us!
After hearing Qingyun's words, Li Yunjing's expression also became serious.
"In that case, let's not delay and set off immediately," Li Yunjing said.
Mu You nodded. "No problem. With the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat, traveling won't be an issue. Besides, the Flying Cloud Boat's spirit crystal cannons are more than enough to crush those ordinary Holy Domain guards."
As soon as Li Yunjing issued the order, the army, which had been waiting in ambush, immediately set off for the Holy Domain.
Li Yunjing personally led the allied forces in the Eastern Domain.
Ninety Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat flew at the forefront, like ninety cranes soaring in the sky.
The Southern Region's allied forces, led by Shen Tian, and the Northern Domain's army, led by Ice God, advanced towards the Central Holy Domain from two directions simultaneously.
The three armies, vast and mighty, surged toward the center of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm like a tidal wave.
Holy Domain, Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain, Primordial Beginning Hall.
The Azure Emperor sat in the main seat, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Strange, the Scarlet Emperor has been gone to the Northern Domain for so long, why hasn't a single message been sent back?"
The White Emperor sat below and said coldly, "What else could it be? There must be too many treasures in the Ice God Palace, and he's reluctant to come back for the time being. You know the Scarlet Emperor's temperament; when he sees something as good as the Ice Element Source, he's already lost all sense of propriety."
The Azure Emperor shook his head. "I have a nagging feeling that Li Yunjing is cunning and far more powerful than others of his level. I'm worried something might happen if the Scarlet Emperor goes alone."
"What could possibly happen?" The White Emperor sneered. "Don't you know the Scarlet Emperor's cultivation level? He controls the Fire Element element. Even if Li Yunjing is strong, he's just a Dao Union Middle Stage cultivator. Do you think he can kill the Crimson Scarlet Emperor?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.
A scout dressed in black scrambled in, fell to his knees with a thud, and cried out, "My lords! Something terrible has happened!"
The Azure Emperor frowned. "What's with this panic? What kind of behavior is this? Speak slowly, what exactly happened?"
"News has come from the North... the Northern Domain, the Scarlet Emperor... he..." The scout stammered, unable to speak.
The White Emperor slammed his fist on the table. "What happened to the Scarlet Emperor? Tell me!"
"The Scarlet Emperor... has fallen!"
"What?!"
The Azure Emperor and the White Emperor stood up at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief.
"You're spouting nonsense!" the White Emperor roared, unleashing a terrifying surge of metal-elemental power. "The Scarlet Emperor was Dao Union Perfection expert, controlling the Fire Element source; how could he possibly have perished?! If you dare to speak such nonsense again, I will exterminate your entire clan!"
The scout trembled with fear, prostrating himself on the ground and crying, "I wouldn't dare to lie! The news was risked to be relayed by a spy from the Northern Domain! It's absolutely true! Lord Scarlet Emperor was killed in the Ice God Palace by that outsider Li Yunjing and the resurrected Ice God!"
"Not only that, Li Yunjing has already unified the Eastern Domain, Southern Region, and Northern Domain, and is now leading a million-strong allied army towards our Central Holy Domain! The vanguard is almost at Holy Radiance City!"
Inside the main hall, there was a deathly silence.
The Azure Emperor and the White Emperor looked at each other, both seeing shock and anger in each other's eyes.
The Scarlet Emperor... he's really dead?
Moreover, that brat Li Yunjing actually allied with the Ice God, unified the Three Realms, and came knocking on our door?
"Damn it!" The Azure Emperor slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne, instantly turning the hard jade armrest into dust. "That Li Yunjing! He truly deserves to die!"
The White Emperor's face was so gloomy it could drip water. "I didn't expect the Ice God to still be alive. We failed to kill him completely before, and he has become our greatest threat!"
"There's no use talking about this now." The Azure Emperor took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "The allied forces have already attacked; we must respond immediately."
The White Emperor said in a deep voice, "What are you afraid of? We have the Holy Domain army and countless restrictions from the Primordial Beginning Divine Mountain. It won't be so easy for them to attack. Moreover, the Primordial Beginning Divine Punishment Cannon Divine Punishment Cannon is about to be fully charged. Once it's ready, one shot will wipe out any allied forces, no matter how many there are!"
"I'm afraid they won't give us time." The Azure Emperor frowned. "The Scarlet Emperor is dead, their morale is high, and they will definitely launch a full-scale attack. The Divine Punishment Cannon still needs ten days to fully charge. We must hold on for these ten days."
"Issue the order: all armies of the Holy Domain shall enter a state of first-level combat readiness. The first line of defense, Holy Radiance City, shall be reinforced with 50,000 troops and must hold out for ten days. At the same time, order all affiliated forces to immediately lead their troops here."
"Yes!" the scout replied hastily and withdrew.
The White Emperor sneered, "Ten days? A piece of cake. I want to see just how capable Li Yunjing is to reach the foot of the sacred mountain in ten days."
However, they all underestimated the fighting power of the allied forces, and even more so the power of the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat.
Not long after, the Eastern Domain Army was the first to arrive at a celestial city on the outermost edge of the Holy Domain.
Then, the remaining two allied forces arrived one after another.
Beneath the walls of Holy Radiance City.
The three allied forces completely surrounded the city.
The city walls were densely packed with the Holy Domain's garrison, and arrow towers and catapults stood everywhere.
The city's protective array emitted a faint white light, enveloping the entire city.
The commander stood atop the city wall, looking down at the dark mass of allied troops below, his face grave.
"Pass on my order: everyone be on high alert! If the enemy dares to attack the city, give them a sound thrashing!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a piercing whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.
The commander raised his head, his pupils suddenly contracting.
Ninety enormous white flying boats were slowly descending from the clouds.
The flying boat was shaped like a crane with outstretched wings. Runes on its hull lit up, and rows of black cannons were aimed at the city wall.
"What is that?" A strong sense of unease welled up in the garrison commander's heart.
The next moment, he knew the answer.
"Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat, first volley, fire!"
Li Yunjing stood at the bow of the leading Flying Cloud Boat and coldly issued his orders.
At his command, all 3,600 spirit crystal cannons on the ninety flying cloud ships opened fire simultaneously.
Three thousand six hundred dazzling beams of spiritual energy poured down like a torrential rain, slamming heavily onto the city's protective array.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of earth-shattering explosions rang out, causing the entire Holy Radiance City to tremble violently.
The white light of the city-protecting formation flickered wildly, but it only lasted for three breaths before shattering like broken glass.
The remaining beams of spiritual energy struck the city wall without any obstruction.
Rumble!
The tall and sturdy city wall collapsed in an instant, as if it were made of paper.
Bricks and stones flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky. The defenders on the city wall screamed as they were blown away, suffering heavy casualties.
