Suddenly, a spray of blood splashed onto Yang Ying's face. Startled, she, who had never seen or smelled blood before, stiffened. Gazing at the bloody carnage before her, she finally understood the arduous task of the great legions guarding the Han territory.
"Kill!"
Observing the clash of the two armies in the void and on the ground, like the sharpest blades between heaven and earth crashing furiously, the sky above Danxue Mountain instantly seemed to shatter. The torrents of crimson blood, a scene of carnage Yang Ying had never witnessed in her decades of life, and the pungent smell permeating the air, brought her to a complete calm.
"Indeed, worthy of the Phoenix Clan, who have weathered countless eras. Even after suffering devastating blows at the end of the Nether Sea era and the beginning of the Emperors era, the Phoenix Clan has still flourished into a top-tier power under the command of the Two Emperors."
The beings of the Phoenix Clan were incredibly powerful. In just half an hour, the attacking army of Wushan Immortal Court was routed, proving no match for the Phoenix Clan. Many powerful onlookers from afar murmured their observations.
"The Phoenix Clan is truly remarkable. With the advent of the Two Emperors, and now seizing such a grand opportunity, Kong Xuan of Yunlou Palace and Yu Yi of Penglai Palace have both achieved Emperor status. Once they emerge from the Ancient Star Road, the Phoenix Clan will surely have four Emperors, and in the vast expanse of time, they might become giants among the strongest powers in the Immortal Realm!"
"Kong Xuan and Yu Yi are also extraordinary individuals; it's likely they can control dozens of Emperor destinies!"
"True, the one from Zhaoyao Palace is truly far-sighted. To want to destroy the Phoenix Clan now is an unparalleled opportunity in this epoch!"
...
"Where are the Four Great Generals? Engage them!"
As the central army of Wushan Immortal Court advanced, Heavenly King Zi Jin saw his vanguard army gradually retreating. While he had anticipated this, he hadn't expected such a rapid defeat, which left Heavenly King Zi Jin somewhat dazed. He then ordered in a deep voice.
"Old Ancestor!"
At this moment, from the four war chariots not far behind Heavenly King Zi Jin, emerged four mighty generals clad in armor, exuding an imposing aura and a surging vitality.
Heavenly King Zi Jin, being the guardian of Celestial Emperor Tianchi, held a very high seniority. Even Celestial Emperor Tianchi treated him with utmost respect. The beings within Wushan Immortal Court generally addressed Heavenly King Zi Jin as 'Old Ancestor,' a term of respect, which Heavenly King Zi Jin also greatly favored.
The four powerful generals all made their moves, each surrounded by shimmering light, hinting at a trace of Imperial might!
Emperor-grade Immortal Treasures!
These are powerful Immortal Treasures that only Quasi-Emperor realm beings can wield. As Quasi-Emperors, they naturally possessed a trace of Imperial might, though it was utterly insufficient before an Immortal Emperor. The emergence of the four Emperor-grade Immortal Treasures revealed the cultivation realms of the Four Great Generals!
"Boom!"
With the combined might of the four Quasi-Emperors, a thunderous roar echoed from outside Danxue Mountain. The four formidable blades descended with terrifying power directly into Danxue Mountain, shattering countless formations and obliterating numerous killing arrays. Even more horrifying was that the Four Great Generals attacked indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe. In an instant, hundreds of thousands of beings perished, with the corpses of the Phoenix Clan and Celestial Hound Clan piling up like mountains.
"Huo Luo!"
Witnessing the invincible prowess of the Four Great Generals, Jin Ling shouted towards Huo Luo and said, "Attack with me to intercept!"
"Jin Ling!"
"Huo Luo!"
Heavenly King Zi Jin observed the two figures. These Tai Xu Celestial Emperor and Shi Yuan Celestial Emperor were truly eccentrics. Their nine children, each with extraordinary talent, were envied by countless beings. All nine children had become Quasi-Emperors, especially Kong Xuan and Yu Yi, who were incredibly powerful. Seeing the two figures emerging from the void, his face instantly darkened as he declared, "Kill! Slay them one by one for your Old Ancestor to offer as a sacrifice to the flag!"
Huo Luo and Jin Ling attacked together, the two Quasi-Emperors directly intercepting the Four Great Generals, whom Heavenly King Zi Jin highly valued. In the void, Emperor-grade Immortal Treasures clashed frequently, shaking even the divine sun at the zenith of the heavens. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Where are the Left and Right Guardian Heavenly Kings!"
"Annihilate the enemy!"
Observing the stalemate on the battlefield, Heavenly King Zi Jin roared again. From his left and right, four more Quasi-Emperor realm beings emerged.
The Left and Right Guardian Heavenly Kings were the four disciples of Celestial Emperor Tianchi before he achieved Emperor status, possessing formidable strength and having received Celestial Emperor Tianchi's true teachings.
Alas, the remaining Quasi-Emperors of the Phoenix Clan were all in deep cultivation slumber. For a time, the Four Guardian Heavenly Kings dominated the battlefield, and the entire situation began to reverse.
Half an hour later, the outer defense line of Danxue Mountain was completely lost. Just as Heavenly King Zi Jin rejoiced, thunder suddenly boomed from the sky behind Danxue Mountain. Ten directions of lightning streaked across the firmament, annihilating one hundred and thirty thousand elite troops of Wushan Immortal Court.
"Ten Directions Lightning!"
"Could it be?"
"Heavenly King Lei Hua!"
"The eighth child under the two Celestial Emperors, Heavenly King Lei Hua—Lei Yuan!"
Gazing at the scene filled with divine lightning, the countless onlookers cried out in amazement. If one were to rank the Quasi-Emperors of the Phoenix Clan, excluding Kong Xuan and Yu Yi, the foremost would be the eighth child, Heavenly King Lei Hua, Lei Yuan, who commanded the lightning of slaughter.
"Boom! Boom!"
The ten directions of lightning swept through. That blurry figure suddenly spread its wings, spanning thousands of feet. Lightning permeated them as if myriad thunder pools were gathered beneath its wings. In a flash, Lei Yuan unleashed his attack, striking directly at the bodies of the Left and Right Guardian Heavenly Kings.
"Ah!"
With rolling thunder, the Left and Right Four Guardian Heavenly Kings were forced back, keeping a distant space from Lei Yuan, who flapped his wings and blazed a trail with divine lightning.
"You four, did I not strike hard enough back then? Do you dare to be so insolent at my Danxue Mountain today!"
Lei Yuan, wielding the Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure Thunder Axe, berated the retreating Left and Right Guardian Heavenly Kings. The lightning around him surged, making the heavens and earth seem to invert.
"Danxue Mountain's Heavenly King Lei Hua, Lei Yuan!"
Heavenly King Zi Jin's expression changed drastically as he stared at the figure that had appeared in the sky above the battlefield. Wasn't this fellow in the Extreme Land? How did he suddenly appear at Danxue Mountain?
The expedition by Zhaoyao Palace, Great Dao Palace, and Wushan Immortal Court against the Phoenix Clan came at a great cost. With Kong Xuan and Yu Yi having entered the Ancient Star Road, and Lei Yuan exploring the Extreme Land, aside from Jin Ling and Huo Luo, the remaining four Quasi-Emperor beings within Danxue Mountain were all in critical breakthrough periods.
"Heavenly King Zi Jin?"
Lei Yuan looked at the old man seated in the war chariot and murmured softly. Then, with his Thunder Axe, he unleashed ten directions of lightning with fierce momentum, roaring, "Heavenly King Zi Jin, my sixth brother spared you back then out of respect for your seniority. Since you are ignorant of your place, today I, Lei Yuan, will challenge you. Let me see if you, once known as the foremost under Celestial Emperors, still possess your former supreme combat power!"
