The Great Battle Was About to Begin!

Beyond Heavenly Void Pass lies a hundred-mile-long plain.

Demonic energy surged, poisonous miasma blotted out the sky, and two Nascent Soul Images, each a hundred feet tall, stood between heaven and earth, their oppressive aura causing the surrounding space to subtly distort.

The Heavenly Corpse Old Devil's giant scythe of white bones spewed grayish-white corpse energy, while the Nine-Headed Poison Lord's nine-headed python hissed, dripping venom that instantly corroded the earth, creating a crater several feet deep...

On the city wall of Heavenly Void Pass, True Lord Fang Yi's face was ashen. He quickly formed hand seals and cast a complex Method Formula into the array plate beneath his feet.

"Rise!"

The fourth-order city-protecting formation roared into operation.

Thirty-six array towers simultaneously lit up with dazzling spiritual light, and Spiritual Qi gathered into a semi-transparent light curtain tens of feet thick, protecting the entire Heavenly Void Pass within it.

On the surface of the light screen, countless golden runes moved about, emanating a thick and resilient earthy aura that connected Heavenly Void Temple with the earth.

"Old devil Fang Yi, what kind of skill is it to hide in a tortoise shell?"

The voice of the Heavenly Corpse Old Devil emanated from his Dharma form, causing the void to rumble. "Heavenly Gang Layer, dare you ascend and have a chat?"

"Heavenly Corpse Old Ghost, what wouldn't I dare to do?"

True Lord Fang Yi snorted coldly.

With a wave of his sleeve, he transformed into a dazzling white light, soaring straight into the Yunxiao.

The Dharma forms of the Heavenly Corpse Old Devil and the Nine-Headed Poison Lord then dispersed into specks of spiritual light, with two beams of demonic light following closely behind, rushing into the outer layer of gale-force winds.

High above, howling winds could easily tear apart the physical bodies of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Three Nascent Soul experts passed through the clouds and each occupied a portion of the void.

There was no tense standoff as one might have imagined, nor any earth-shattering clash of supernatural Divine Ability.

The Heavenly Corpse Old Devil sat cross-legged on a throne of white bones, the Nine-Headed Poison Lord stood with his feet in the void, True Lord Fang Yi stood with his hands behind his back.

In the void between the three, spiritual light gathered, reflecting the entire battlefield of Heavenly Void Pass below.

Nascent Soul Cultivator have long lifespans and are all people who cherish their lives.

The key to victory in this kind of large-scale, cutthroat competition never lies with them.

Unless a decisive victory is achieved on the battlefield below, or one side reveals a fatal flaw, they will never easily engage in a death match.

Once the source is damaged, or even destroyed, there is no hope of redemption.

Simply engage the opponent and maintain a standoff.

This is a tacit balance that belongs only to chess players.

Of course, while there is a standoff, the verbal sparring continues.

"Fang Yi, the fate of the three dynasties of the Wei Kingdom has run its course."

The Nine-Headed Poison Lord's voice was hoarse, filled with undisguised mockery. "If you can't even defend this Heavenly Void Pass, why waste your time here?"

"Alright, you nine-headed old devil, stop spouting nonsense."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you. These are just words; don't get yourself fooled, especially someone your age..."

"Tsk tsk~"

"That's true, it's understandable that you like to daydream as you get older."

"You Devil Cultivator, it's normal for you to be mentally unstable. A perverted old man who spends his days having sex with snake demons, heh heh~"

"Even if your snake wife is killed by you, the fate of my Wei Kingdom cannot be sealed."

"Stop babbling on and on, or I'll chop your snake-woman up and shove her up your ass."

True Lord Fang Yi made a couple of sarcastic remarks, then closed his eyes and fell silent, focusing his Divine Sense intently on the two people opposite him.

Suddenly, the heavens fell silent.

The Nine-Headed Poison Lord was stunned on the spot, speechless for a moment, and even the Heavenly Corpse Devil Lord was with him couldn't help but smile.

If the Nine-Headed Poison Lord weren't an ally, he would have genuinely wanted to laugh out loud.

The battlefield below erupted into chaos at that moment.

"Kill!"

A mournful howl echoed from the Devil Cultivator army, signaling the full-scale outbreak of war.

Dozens of bone flying boats launched the first attack, their hulls glowing with array patterns, and hundreds of thick, blood-red beams of light shot out from the front of the flying boats, slamming into the protective light barrier of Heavenly Void Pass.

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth trembled violently. Ripples spread across the surface of the light barrier, and golden runes flashed wildly, counteracting the destructive power of the crimson pillar of light.

"You wicked demon, cease your arrogance!"

Within the Supreme Purity Sect's ranks, three Golden Core elders soared into the sky.

Within the Devil Cultivator camp, five black shadows radiating the pressure of Golden Core flew out, and the eight Golden Core cultivators collided violently in mid-air.

An elder of the Supreme Purity Sect unleashed a giant azure sword, its Sword-Ray surging a hundred feet, and with a single strike, cleaved a white bone flying boat in two.

The airship broke apart, and hundreds of Devil Cultivator on board screamed as they plummeted into the air.

The demonic Golden Core cultivator was not to be outdone.

A Devil Cultivator wielding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner suddenly waved the banner, and tens of thousands of pitch-black vengeful spirits roared out in an instant, transforming into a long black river that tightly bound the cyan giant sword.

Another Devil Cultivator cultivator opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of pale green poisonous sand. The poisonous sand swelled in the wind and turned into a sandstorm that Supreme Purity Sect.

The battle between Golden Core cultivators was awe-inspiring.

They deliberately elevated the battlefield to avoid affecting the main army below.

Multicolored Divine Ability Law Treasure collided violently beneath the clouds, causing the space to tremble, Spiritual Qi to surge wildly, and Daoist charm to continuously scatter.

On the ground, the real grinding wheel of flesh and blood began to turn.

"Attack the city!"

Thousands of bronze and iron corpses, each over ten feet tall, were controlled by the Devil Cultivator and began to gallop heavily toward the walls of Heavenly Void Pass.

Behind them were tens of thousands of Devil Cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm from the Jin Kingdom.

"Law Technique Bombardment!"

On the walls of Heavenly Void Pass, the elders of various sects roared in battle.

On the defending side, tens of thousands of Qi Refining cultivators attacked simultaneously.

Fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, falling rocks—countless elemental Law Technique converged into a dazzling yet deadly torrent of Law Technique, breaching the city's protective light barrier and crashing down upon the charging Devil Cultivator army.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosion was deafening.

The hundreds of iron corpses at the forefront were submerged by the torrent of Law Technique, with severed limbs flying everywhere. Large numbers of Devil Cultivator were blasted to pieces by fireballs and sliced into chunks by wind blades.

Blood instantly stained the land beyond the pass.

The Devil Cultivator army did not retreat. They defied the Law Technique attacks and advanced relentlessly.

Once within casting range, the Devil Cultivator also began to retaliate.

Nether Ghost Fire, Bone-Dissolving Poison Smoke, Blood Sha Yin Lightning.

Countless insidious Law Technique shot upwards against the sky, crashing into the light barrier of Heavenly Void Pass.

Poisonous smoke clung to the surface of the light barrier, emitting a piercing corrosive sound. Thunderclaps exploded, causing the array nodes to shake violently.

From the very beginning, the war descended into a brutal war of attrition.

Human life has become the cheapest number here.

Every moment, Qi Refining cultivators exhaust their spiritual power and collapse to the ground; every moment, Devil Cultivator are blasted into blood mist, leaving no trace of their bodies.

"Foundation Establishment cultivators, engage the puppet zombies!"

Seeing some high-level bronze corpses, relying on their powerful physical bodies, withstand the torrent of Law Technique and rush to the front of the light barrier, wielding their sharp claws to frantically tear at the formation.

Inside Heavenly Void Pass, hundreds of sword lights shot into the sky.

Foundation Establishment cultivators entered.

They flew through the air on their swords, avoiding the aftershocks of the battle between the Golden Core cultivators, and directly charged into the Devil Cultivator' camp.
