The imperial capital, Chang'an, today might become the most brutal battlefield of the current era...
Perhaps it will also be the final battlefield to decide the supremacy of the Purple Continent's immortal cultivation world.
...
To better utilize their advantages, the higher-ups of the four great families have stretched their front line long, allowing for a layered advance and effective tactical offense!
Therefore, even with the swift flight of cultivators, it still took some distance to reach the walls of the imperial capital, Chang'an.
However, no matter the distance, collisions were inevitable.
On the side of the Liu Dynasty royal family, they were stationed to defend the imperial capital, Chang'an, while the enemy, on the other hand, surged in like a tsunami, covering the sky and earth.
...
One side exuded an overwhelming, mountain-shattering aura, while the other appeared as stable as a mountain, unyielding.
At first glance, their strengths and auras seemed equal, but subtly, a disparity could be felt.
After about half an hour, the first wave of the army had completely charged to the forefront, met by a vast sea of cultivators.
...
"Kill! Kill! Kill..."
"Charge! Kill all these royal descendants! The treasures and beauties within Chang'an will be ours..."
"I heard Chang'an is filled with treasures. After we kill them, we can live a life of luxury!"
"Hahaha!"
Countless attacking cultivators, amidst the deafening war drums, roared loudly while unleashing a barrage of long-range attacks – spells, divine abilities, artifacts, treasures, and more.
These terrifying means of attack rained down on the defending cultivators of Chang'an like a tempest!
The scene was no different from the arrival of an apocalypse, the collapse of the world.
...
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Protected by the Twelve Heavenly Dipper Immortal Suppressing Array, the city's protective formation, the defending Liu cultivators immediately counterattacked.
A torrent of artillery fire was launched, and immensely powerful talisman arrows fell like a torrential rain!
Most terrifying of all were the colossal war fortresses in the sky. They could not only move continuously but also perform pinpoint strikes. The dense firepower was chilling!
...
"Ahhhhhh..."
Wave after wave of cultivators perished under the ceaseless artillery fire and talisman arrows. The most tragic were those who charged to the very front.
The luckier ones were pierced by talisman arrows, leaving behind nearly intact corpses. The most unfortunate were those hit by artillery, blasted into shreds of flesh.
In the very first wave of attack and counterattack, tens of thousands of cultivators had already fallen.
However, the loss of these tens of thousands of cultivators was a mere drop in the ocean for a super-large immortal cultivation war involving over seven to eight million combatants, completely negligible.
Under the supervision of the four great families' supervisory teams in the rear, these over three million cultivators could only steel themselves and charge towards the imperial capital, Chang'an!
As corpses piled up like mountains against the city walls of Chang'an, an even more brutal close-quarters combat began!
Countless bodies rained down from the sky, lives extinguished just like that.
In an instant, rivers of blood flowed, and corpses littered the ground. These bodies were often mangled beyond recognition, rarely intact.
...
However, under the protection of the Twelve Heavenly Dipper Immortal Suppressing Array, the defending Liu cultivators still held some advantage over the enemy cultivators, at least they had sufficient buffer space.
As soon as they spotted the enemy, a large contingent of defending Liu cultivators discarded their talisman bows and thrust top-tier artifact-grade battle knives and halberds into the bodies of the attacking enemy cultivators.
The clash of thousands upon thousands of weapons, the collision of artifacts and treasures, blended together, far more magnificent and imposing than any war song in the world...
For this was the sound of true slaughter, not music for enjoyment. The true war song should speak of nothing but killing!
When halberds plunged into flesh and blood, when knives cleaved into bone, when both sides fought with a resolve to die, that scene was destined to be passed down through the ages!
It is not only beautiful scenery, famous poems, and elegant verses that can be passed down to future generations. Great battles like this, capable of influencing the transformation of an entire immortal cultivation world, can also be recorded in history for posterity.
Close-quarters combat, also known as melee, is the most brutal. The death rate on the front lines is nearly ninety-eight percent!
Standing at a high vantage point, Liu Xie, seeing the stalemate, frowned and waved his hand, issuing an order!
Immediately, a large number of super-large artifact-grade close-combat Hundred Blade War Chariots, propelled by their own momentum, charged out from the walls of Chang'an, circling and smashing into the enemy.
These terrifying chariots, formed from thousands of blades as sharp as artifacts, when charging without restraint, were comparable to fearsome beasts.
The Hundred Blade War Chariots mowed down cultivators like grass, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and screams of agony echoing endlessly!
Many rogue cultivators, seeing this, directly leaped off the city walls of Chang'an and fled rapidly towards the rear.
Even if they were killed by the supervisory teams of the four great families as an example, it was still better than becoming a pile of minced meat!
Li Zihao, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately dispatched the Li family's strongest giant crystal puppet legion!
With a series of booming sounds, crystal giants, shimmering with crystal luster, charged towards Chang'an!
These crystal giants differed from ordinary crystal puppets. They were not only large and powerful but also had better defenses, making them an enhanced version of the crystal puppet legion.
Each crystal giant possessed a terrifying, ten-thousand-zhang-high body, forged from countless divine crystals. Their core was inlaid with mysterious runes and formations.
While not numerous, there were over a thousand of these crystal giants, followed by dense formations of crystal puppet soldiers.
This crystal army advanced at an extremely rapid pace to the forefront of the battle line, quickly blocking the frenzied Hundred Blade War Chariots!
"Hmph, the Li family? These traitors are quite capable to have developed such giant crystal giants..."
"Puppets forged from divine crystals, only the Li family could produce them. Crystal puppets made primarily from divine crystals are indestructible, with countless formations and runes inlaid within to control their energy flow. A genius idea indeed..."
This crystal puppet legion, solely focused on slaughter, was indeed powerful. It felt no pain, would not retreat, and would absolutely and loyally obey its master's commands.
Liu Chuang's pupils constricted slightly upon witnessing this, he thought to himself!
...
"Phew, the four great families have finally made their move. If they hadn't, we would have retreated..."
"Crystal puppets, the Li family's strongest foundation, should be able to hold off these Hundred Blade War Chariots!"
"Neither the Liu imperial family nor the four great families are as simple as they appear on the surface."
"The power they have displayed is truly beyond imagination. This crystal puppet legion, upon its appearance, is equivalent to our countless cultivators in an army, especially those crystal giants, which are terrifyingly powerful..."
These crystal puppet armies stood like immovable rocks, blocking the Hundred Blade War Chariots that appeared like gods of slaughter!
...
These Hundred Blade War Chariots and the crystal puppet armies clashed, with the Hundred Blade War Chariots shattering crystal puppets, or crystal puppets breaking the chariot bodies.
This war, from its very beginning, was a war with only one victor.
War recognizes no right or wrong, only interests. For the prosperity of their own families, many cultivators had only one word in their minds: kill!!!
...
As the situation once again fell into a stalemate, Liu Xie made another gesture, ordering the Yan Han fleet, which had been conserving its strength since the beginning, to sortie from Chang'an and annihilate the enemy!
As over a thousand colossal Yan fleets, dyed gold and red, emerged from Chang'an, they charged forward, sweeping away everything in their path, displaying an unconquerable and terrifying might!
A large number of crystal puppets and human cultivators were simultaneously crushed into fragments, crystal shattering, and flesh flying!
Warships, as expected, were formidable offensive weapons forged during humanity's era of conquering myriad races. With a mere collision, both crystal puppets and human cultivators appeared insignificant before them!
Qin Ruhuo, Wang Quangu, Li Zihao, and Kong Xiangxi, upon witnessing this scene, their expressions drastically changed, turning as dark as the bottom of a pot!
The four of them hurriedly issued orders, dispatching all their war-type colossal ships, and only then was the situation barely stabilized!
"Yin Ghost Legion, engage!!"
Qin Ruhuo roared at this moment.
In truth, both sides knew this was a war of no retreat, a war to the death...
Secretly hoarding strength and watching an ally fall might be an excellent strategy in normal times...
But in the current situation, it was not only shortsighted but also foolish...
This war had only two outcomes: either the four great families would overthrow the supreme position of the Liu imperial family, or the Liu imperial family would liquidate the four great families and other traitors...
The matter was as simple as that, not as complicated as others imagined...
Amidst endless ghost energy, ghost soldiers clad in armor, wielding ghost swords and ghost sabers, materialized out of thin air!
These powerful ghost soldiers were cultivated by the Qin family through countless souls!
Innumerable ghost soldiers advanced towards Chang'an, their eyes burning with green flames, the flames of life!
