"Your Majesty, what is this?"
A flash of insight crossed Chunyu Xing's eyes as he looked at Emperor Chi Ye, who was gazing at Sanyuan Pass. He smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is luring the enemy into a trap and using a borrowed knife to kill!"
"Heh, Chunyu Xing, it seems your understanding of military strategy has improved recently."
Emperor Chi Ye let out a cold laugh. "Sword God Sacred Land, Great Han!"
...
"War!"
In the ancestral land of the Nan Tian family, Liang Shi Tai, wielding a colossal hammer, his gaze blazing with battle intent. Thick, viscous blood dripped from the hammer. The phantom gluttonous beast lay across the heavens and earth, its roar sucking thousands of Nan Tian family disciples into its maw, transforming them into bloody mist.
Hundreds of thousands of gluttonous soldiers surrounded the Nan Tian family's ancestral land, their weapons raised, emitting roars. Their black armor, amidst the bloody mist, appeared particularly gruesome and chilling.
"Great Han Dynasty, we are of the same human race, must you truly leave us no path to survival? You Great Han Dynasty, you are unworthy of your human bloodline!"
Nan Tian Cun trembled as he gripped a gilded halberd, his eyes bloodshot. Watching Nan Tian youths fall one by one into pools of blood, he felt utterly powerless.
The Nan Tian family and the Sword God Sacred Land had waged war in all directions. Their armies of the Heavenly Martial realm had suffered heavy losses. Now, the remaining elite Heavenly Martial forces were primarily under the command of Nan Tian Guan Yu, who had gone to the Western Sea Plains to join forces with the Xi Ling Imperial Dynasty to curb the Sword God Sacred Land's momentum.
Currently, though the Nan Tian Sacred Land had tens of thousands of disciples, their cultivation realms were uneven, making it difficult to form a cohesive army. Facing the gluttonous legion, an army composed entirely of Heavenly Martial experts, how could they not be defeated?
The phantom gluttonous army formation condensed, but it was merely a superficial display. Only when parts of the central army were defending the command tent was the formation condensed. While it lacked formidable killing power, a single roar could clear the battlefield and harvest enemies of lower cultivation.
"Roar~~" Su Dan Novel Network
Suddenly, the gluttonous soldiers from all directions erupted in roars like ferocious beasts. Balls of dark, ethereal energy swirled beneath the gluttonous soldiers' legs, accompanied by low growls. Gluttonous ferocious beasts, about the size of warhorses, slowly took shape.
The gluttonous soldiers who had surrounded the Nan Tian world transformed into a uniform cavalry. Tens of thousands of gluttonous beasts materialized, their ancient, ferocious bloodlust dyeing the surroundings a dark crimson.
"Kill!"
Han Qin Hu, brandishing a long saber, rode a gluttonous beast with a cold expression. Hundreds of thousands of gluttonous soldiers advanced directly towards the Nan Tian family.
"Charge!"
The gluttons traversed the void, crossing miles in mere breaths, like ethereal wisps of nothingness passing over the earth.
"This..."
"The formation can do this?"
Nan Tian Cun's eyes widened. The manifestation of hundreds of thousands of gluttonous beasts must have consumed an immense amount of blood essence and vital energy from the army. Who could afford such a colossal expenditure?
"Quick, spread out!"
Nan Tian Cun's eyes turned cold. Seeing countless disciples, he roared, "Heavenly Martial realm and above, form formations! Those below Heavenly Martial, scatter!"
"Still trying to dodge?"
Shi Wan Sui coldly eyed Nan Tian Cun before him, the current pillar of the Nan Tian family. If he died, Nan Tian would be destroyed!
"Where is the herald!"
"General!"
A soldier holding a signal flag responded.
"Issue the order to the entire army: Suppress Nan Tian Cun!"
A forsaken individual whose primordial spirit was disintegrating dared to stand at the forefront of the formation and resist the gluttons'鋒芒 (sharp edge/might)!
"Yes!"
The general's order unfurled, streams of light flashing in the void. At the same time, the various armies charging and surrounding on their gluttonous mounts simultaneously looked up, observing the flashing lights in the void.
Han Qin Hu glanced up and smiled faintly. "All troops, heed my command, condense the formation!"
"Condense formation!"
"Condense formation!"
From all directions, Shan Xiong Xin, Liang Shi Tai, and Shi Wan Sui roared in unison. The blood-red light flowed through the hundreds of thousands of gluttonous legion soldiers!
"Roar!"
A gluttonous beast in the nine heavens let out a furious roar and descended, standing above Nan Tian Cun. It transformed into eight black streams of light, gathering in front of the soldiers on all sides.
As the black streams of light dispersed, eight sharp fangs, like thousand-foot swords, gleamed with silver and white divine light.
These were the sharpest eight fangs in the glutton's mouth, their sharpness capable of splitting heaven and earth, like blades from the heavens.
"Hmph!"
The rolling stream of blood essence merged into the eight fangs, and mysterious, inscrutable runes appeared and flickered upon them.
"A fox borrowing a tiger's might, discarding the purity of the army formation. This is courting death! Heaven aids me!"
Nan Tian Cun was overjoyed. The condensation of the army formation was the peak of an army's killing power. Now that the formation was dispersed, discarding its pure essence and leaving only the edges, how could it achieve greatness, how could it conquer the sea of blood?
"Shatter for this old ancestor!"
Nan Tian Cun clenched his fists, his vital energy surging wildly, but it also dissipated rapidly. His primordial spirit was unstable; every use of vital energy accelerated his demise.
He glanced at the dissipating vital energy, let out a cold laugh, stamped his foot in the void, clenched his fists, and declared, "Fight!"
"Kill!"
The eight fangs condensed everything, representing the glutton's sharpest aspect, truly the essence of its finest quality.
The gluttonous soldiers from all directions charged forward on their gluttons, their roars like thunder, shaking the earth. Palaces and halls collapsed one after another.
Where the gluttonous soldiers charged through the land, countless Nan Tian family disciples' bodies exploded. Soldiers who were originally clad in black armor, upon reaching the core of the Nan Tian family's ancestral land, were mostly wearing blood-red armor.
The eight fangs locked onto Nan Tian Cun and shot out. A piercing sound echoed through the void. The eight blades sliced through space, igniting layers of sparks. Streams of gray void flowed, as if space had a life of its own, dripping thick blood.
Nan Tian Cun broke out in a cold sweat. His dissipating primordial spirit felt as if it were about to detach from his body. Sensing the peerless and terrifying sharpness from all directions, this sharpness was something he had once possessed.
"Nan Tian!"
"This old man can no longer guide you forward..."
The eight streams of light clashed and passed, leaving only fragmented fissures in the void, nothing else.
"Supreme Elder!"
"Supreme Elder!"
"Supreme Elder!"
Countless disciples cried out in grief to the heavens. The venerable one could not defeat them; what hope did they have?
The gluttonous soldiers surrounding them like a tide, trampled through the core of the Nan Tian family's land.
The sea of blood flowed, leaving no one alive!
Streams of blood-red light emanated, and torrents of blood poured down, staining the sacred land that Central Yuan Realm martial artists were so proud of.
The sea of blood surged, ten thousand troops trampled, leaving no bones!
One charge!
With just one charge, the Nan Tian family, this top-tier power, was annihilated under the iron hooves of the Great Han.
Gao Ying paced in the void, his eyes devoid of emotion. "Gluttonous Legion, divide into three routes and march south to seize all the cities of the Central Yuan Realm!"
"Leave no disciple of the Nan Tian family alive!"
"Three days from now, the three armies will rendezvous at the southern border and march on Sanyuan Pass!"
