Youmeng, clad in purple battle armor, led over ten thousand Flying Demon Wolf cultivators, breaking through one defensive line after another. She galloped her steed, her imposing aura creating a ferocious military force that seemed to howl across the heavens.
Wielding the low-grade spirit treasure, Dream Blade, Youmeng slew one formidable enemy after another. Her exquisite face bore a touch of masculine resilience.
At this moment, her purple battle armor was stained with blood, and even her alluring legs, clad in black silk, were dappled with crimson.
Youmeng rode her wolf king, her purple hair fluttering in the wind. She swung her blade, leading her fierce and savage pack of wolves to tear open gaps in the enemy's formations.
In a mere half-hour, after more than ten repeated assaults, Zuo Bu's defensive line was successfully breached by her.
...
On the other side!
Ye Yu, wearing tiger-striped battle armor, led the Branded Tiger Legion, charging at the toughest part of the central defense. Despite fighting until their heads were bloody, they pressed on relentlessly.
Tigers, the kings of beasts, possessed the might to swallow mountains and command all creatures. The Branded Tiger Legion under Ye Yu's command brought this power to its utmost extent.
Finally, with a spirit of steel that feared no death, Ye Yu and his Branded Tiger Legion pierced through the most heavily fortified central defense line and successfully broke through!
...
Here, Nangong Nan, whose personality was as strong as a man's, wielded a golden hammer of unknown weight, smashing countless enemies before her.
Nangong Nan, with her voluptuous and alluring figure, exuding peerless charm, fought on the battlefield with more ferocity than any man.
She led her Golden Mane Lion Legion, employing an incredibly domineering offensive to conquer the western battle line!
...
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Ye Qingyi, leading the Cloud Eagle Legion, soared through the air. As an aerial force, they provided high-altitude support to the other three elite legions.
The Cloud Eagle Legion flew at high altitudes, resembling vast expanses of clouds in motion.
Cloud Eagles, the overlords of the sky, and the combat power of over ten thousand Cloud Eagle warriors far surpassed what others could imagine!
Ye Qingyi, a delicate beauty who usually paid great attention to her appearance and possessed a gentle disposition, fought with her black, waterfall-like hair unbound during the most intense moments of battle. Her clear and beautiful face was smeared with blood, yet she continued to wield her long sword, fighting desperately alongside her subordinates!
...
The Tyrant Turtle Legion, primarily defensive in nature, served mainly to tie down and support on the battlefield.
The Tyrant Turtle Legion's role on the battlefield was not in frontal assaults; their ability to tie down and support was equally crucial.
Nangong Xing, leading over ten thousand cultivators riding Tyrant Turtles, moved like a colossal mountain range, both safe and reliable.
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Keep up, the lords have already cleared a path for us."
Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Ascending Immortal Sect, each commanding their subordinates, advanced forward!
The Liu Clan Royal Army, once considered the strongest military force in the Purple Prefecture Immortal Realm, found itself in a dire predicament due to the intentional and unintentional targeting by the Ascending Immortal Sect cultivators and the four great families.
Across the entire battlefield, the "Wu" character battle flags of the Ascending Immortal Sect had expanded to cover three-fifths of the area, firmly holding the advantage!
Both the cultivators of the Liu Clan Royal Army and the cultivators of the four great families began to contract their lines, clearly running out of steam.
Judging by this scene alone, it seemed to signal a changing of the guard, heralding the replacement of the Liu Clan Royal Family and the four great families by Wu Tao's Ascending Immortal Sect!
...
"Damn it! We're surrounded! How can these cultivators be so strong? Their elite level is no less than that of the elite armies of the four great families..."
"Now, not only are we exhausted, but we also have a numerical disadvantage. How in hell are we supposed to fight this?"
A Nascent Soul stage cultivator named Liu Hai cursed breathlessly!
...
"Hold on! All of you listen to me! For the name and authority of the Liu family royalty, is it not worth risking our lives?"
"For the Liu Clan Royal Family, for justice and light, charge!"
A Nascent Soul late-stage great cultivator with white hair, appearing to hold a high position within the Liu Clan Royal Family, saw the fighting spirit of his clansmen weakening, and thus loudly encouraged them.
...
Jimo, leading a contingent of cultivators, scoffed and immediately retorted.
"Bah, old man, how are you any better? Have you never done anything similar?"
"Do you really think you're some kind of righteous and noble beings? You're all not clean in the end, none of you are good people. So, this war is not about good versus evil..."
"Old man, just admit you're fighting for your own interests. Don't dress it up with grand ideals. Let's all be realistic!"
...
Following Jimo's words, many high-ranking officials of the Ascending Immortal Sect stepped forward to boost morale!
"For future prosperity and wealth, all of you, go! Sweep these remnants of the old era into the category of losers in history."
"The new era will be ruled by us. Defeat the enemies before you, and everything in this world belongs to us. You should make way..."
Under all sorts of motivational speeches, hundreds of thousands of cultivators charged forward like inflamed warriors, with reckless abandon!
...
On the ground, Wu Tao's Ascending Immortal Sect held the upper hand, while the Liu Clan Royal Family and the four great families were at a disadvantage. However, in the aerial combat, Wu Tao was at a disadvantage.
Currently, there were eight Void Refinement stage cultivators in the sky, divided into three groups!
Liu Xie, Liu Shan, Liu Gao, and Liu Chuang formed the strongest group. The slightly weaker group consisted of Kong Xiangxi, Li Zihao, and Qin Ruohuo. The weakest was Wu Tao.
Wu Tao's strength was the lowest among the eight. He had only comprehended one law, the Law of Time. However, facing Liu Xie, who had comprehended nine Laws of Destiny, he could only flee in disarray!
If not for Wu Tao's numerous spirit treasures and the absolute speed advantage of the Law of Time, he would have been dealt with by Liu Xie long ago.
Even so, Wu Tao was in a sorry state under Liu Xie's pursuit.
If Liu Xie had not been distracted to assist Liu Chuang, Liu Gao, and Liu Shan, he might have already killed Wu Tao!
"Hahaha, the great upheaval in the Purple Prefecture cultivation world decades ago, that was your doing, wasn't it? You truly have a cruel heart!"
Li Zihao, having made Liu Gao spit up three liters of blood, felt much better. Seeing the pathetic state of Wu Tao, he couldn't help but taunt him.
...
"Tch, old man, how are you any better? Haven't you done similar things yourself?"
Wu Tao heard this, his lips curled slightly. He drew his initial dawn sword and retorted without politeness: "The evil deeds your Li family has committed over the years, you probably can't even count them yourselves!"
Turning his head, Wu Tao glanced at Liu Xie, Liu Shan, Liu Gao, Liu Chuang, Kong Xiangxi, and Qin Ruohuo, and said with full sarcasm.
"Tsk, tsk. If others criticized me, I might feel ashamed and regretful. But if any of you here were to condemn me for this, I would only feel ironic and amused!"
"After squeezing the entire Purple Prefecture cultivation world for so many years, you, who have always been high and mighty, what right do you have to lecture me?"
Upon hearing Wu Tao's words, Liu Xie, Liu Shan, Liu Gao, Liu Chuang, Kong Xiangxi, Li Zihao, Qin Ruohuo, and the others, although their faces were somewhat ugly, did not refute Wu Tao.
It was evident they believed Wu Tao's words were not wrong, or perhaps there was nothing to hide.
...
"Jiedushi Wu, one of the former eight great military governors, what is your purpose in coming to the imperial capital Chang'an?"
After a period of stabilization, Liu Xie, who could barely suppress his anger, took a deep breath and questioned sternly!
Wu Tao's appearance made the already chaotic battlefield even more unpredictable, and Wu Tao himself had become a variable.
Although Wu Tao had disrupted Liu Xie's plan, thwarting his attempt to annihilate the four great families, Wu Tao was now not only a Void Refinement stage cultivator but also extremely difficult to deal with.
The current battlefield situation was tense, and Wu Tao's true intentions were unknown. Rashly making an enemy of him would bring a troublesome opponent to the Liu Clan Royal Family...
As a qualified emperor, Liu Xie was so enraged by Wu Tao that he wanted to devour him. However, after calming down, he first considered the pros and cons.
This made Wu Tao feel somewhat amused and also a little impressed.
Whether it was covering his ears while stealing a bell, or deceiving himself, at least Liu Xie, as an Immortal Emperor, could endure what ordinary people could not. This alone proved he was indeed a figure.
Of course, the most important reason Liu Xie could suppress his anger, besides Wu Tao's own cultivation level, was the hundreds of thousands of cultivators under Wu Tao's command!
Not to mention Wu Tao's own cultivation level was on the same tier as these people, just the hundreds of thousands of cultivators, who were like wolves and tigers, were enough to make them hesitate.
...
"Hahaha, what's the point of talking nonsense now?"
Wu Tao drew his initial dawn sword and pointed it at Liu Xie, laughing unrestrainedly.
"I've spent so much time, prepared so much, what do you think I'm doing..."
Looking at the subtly contorted face of Liu Xie, Wu Tao shouted at the sky with the greatest volume of his life, addressing Liu Xie and everyone on the battlefield.
"Of course, I want your position as Immortal Emperor, understand? You utter fool..."
Before Wu Tao could finish speaking, the high-grade spirit treasure, Myriad Dragon Imperial Seal, crashed down from the sky.
"Rebel! You court death!"
Upon confirming Wu Tao's objective, Liu Xie did not hesitate and directly attacked.
