"Your subject obeys your decree!"
Zhang Liang walked out solemnly.
"This battle, not only must the power of the Imperial Ruins be completely repelled, but I also want to probe the true depth of the Imperial Ruins," Yang Hao stood up, his voice majestic and heavy, and dragon roars echoed through the great hall.
"Your subject will not fail the Heavenly Emperor!"
Li Jing and Zhang Liang knelt on one knee, their terrifying aura soaring to the sky. All the civil and military officials bowed. They knew this battle was the most crucial one!
"Court dismissed!"
......
The space between the Great Han Heavenly Court and the Ancient Star Road.
After ten days of immersion, a huge rift suddenly appeared. The spatial rift was enormous, with unparalleled Immortal Emperor might sweeping through.
"Immortal Emperor might!"
Li Jing, leading the Lu Di Army, had long been standing in the depths of the spatial divide. He watched the scene before him with a calm expression. Behind him were all the martial generals and heroes who had achieved the Dao. Of course, besides them, the Lu Di Army had also absorbed the Chaos Demon Ape, Vermillion Bird, and Kun Peng Immortal Emperors. At this moment, over a hundred heroes and figures erupted with terrifying bloodthirsty auras, shaking the boundless space!
The banners of the Lu Di Army fluttered, and endless light shone within this chaos. The Chaos Demon Ape marveled at the might of the Great Han Heavenly Court. Such an army, perhaps from the Immortal Ancient era to the present, no force could have forged such a formidable legion.
Who could have imagined that the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Emperor, who controlled more than ninety imperial destinies, was merely an ordinary soldier of the Lu Di Army!
Any one of them, picked out casually, could establish a sect and become a renowned powerhouse of an era!
More than a hundred of them!
Even Yuan Zu, Shi Yuan, and others, despite repeatedly applying to join the Lu Di Army, had not received permission from the Heavenly Emperor Yang Hao!
Behind Li Jing was Yue Fei, who had annihilated the Supreme Saint Emperor Luo Zun and was the deputy commander of this battle. He couldn't help but look at Li Jing, clad in qilin armor. What kind of powerhouse was it that the Heavenly Emperor had entrusted with such an important task, handing over an army composed of over a hundred Immortal Emperors to him!
Li Jing!
He could not see through him!
Yue Fei, who was appointed as the temporary commander of the Lu Di Army and had annihilated the Supreme Saint Emperor Luo Zun, did not lodge any protest!
And the gentle Zhang Liang, beneath his mild exterior, the divine light flashing in his eyes made even him tremble with fear. Two figures were missing from the Lu Di Army: Huo Qubing and Luo Shixin. Under Zhang Liang's arrangement, they had bypassed the predetermined route, and their destination was known only to Zhang Liang and themselves.
Boom!
A deafening roar suddenly came from within the enormous spatial rift, followed by footsteps that grew closer from afar, echoing within the bottomless spatial passage.
"They're here!"
Zhang Liang smiled as he looked at the spatial rift and said, "This battle cannot completely eliminate this Immortal Emperor army. We must do our best to hold them back and buy sufficient time for Huo Qubing and Luo Shixin!"
"As you command, Military Advisor!"
Li Jing smiled slightly. Their current army could be completely annihilated, but not completely wiped out. If they perished, they would reconsolidate in the Imperial Ruins and return.
Boom!
Hundreds of figures appeared within the rift. Yue Fei, Yuwen Chengdu, and other heroes, as well as the Vermillion Bird and Kun Peng Immortal Emperors and other beings, all saw familiar faces: Emperor Yan Lie, who had achieved the Dao and controlled an imperial destiny; the four great overlords who controlled over seventy imperial destinies; Supreme Saint Emperor Luo Zun, who controlled ninety-nine imperial destinies; and Kun Peng Saint Emperor, who had fallen at Luo Zun's hands.
Behind this army of Immortal Emperors, a man in a white robe, enveloped in a hazy aura, appeared. It was unknown what race this being was; he seemed to be a cultivator of dao. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he coldly swept his gaze over the Lu Di Army.
"Immortal Realm?"
"Such a familiar aura!"
The white-robed man spoke, seemingly possessing consciousness and many expressions, unlike the other fallen Immortal Emperors.
"Who are you?"
Yue Fei sensed the man's peculiarity and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Me?"
"Who am I?"
The man spread his arms, looked himself over, and sneered, "I have forgotten who I am, and where I come from. However, they are willing to call me Patriarch Misty!" As his voice fell, the hazy aura that enveloped him suddenly vibrated, and a terrifying aura, surpassing the first realm of Immortal Emperor, shook the spatial divide!
"Patriarch Misty!"
The Chaos Demon Ape's eyes bulged. He exclaimed in shock, "A powerhouse from the Creation Era, Patriarch Misty! It seems he has also fallen, like Kun Peng Prime Emperor. His essence was collected by the Imperial Ruins and manifested in a special form!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Defying the will of the Imperial Ruins!"
"Shall be annihilated!"
Patriarch Misty stepped forward, his eyes domineering, as if he could see Chang'an City within the Immortal Realm with a single glance. He coldly sneered, "To defy the will of the Imperial Ruins is not to be tolerated!"
"Kill!"
Boom!
Hundreds of Immortal Emperors attacked. Li Jing's expression remained unchanged. Yue Fei nodded and waved the flag, shouting, "Lu Di Army!"
"Engage the enemy!"
Yue Fei struck out instantly, his iron spear appearing in his hand and sweeping forward directly!
Boom!
The chaotic space churned like a vast ocean. Space exploded, and endless spear light surged forward, directly annihilating several powerful top Immortal Emperors.
"Kill!"
Yuwen Chengdu roared, his Phoenix-winged gilded halberd shining. Wang Jian's sword danced, Sun Bin uttered military strategies, empowering every hero. Zhang Liang smiled as he observed the four directions, weaving intricate hand seals, controlling the entire battlefield situation!
"The Human Race is truly remarkable."
Patriarch Misty looked at it all and praised.
"How long do you intend to hide?"
Li Jing, gripping his long sword, stared coldly at Patriarch Misty. He was no longer an Immortal Emperor but a half-step transcendent. Some things that Immortal Emperor beings could not see, he could. From the moment Patriarch Misty spoke, he knew that what gave him consciousness was merely someone remotely controlling it, tearing off a wisp of his primordial spirit and attaching it to Patriarch Misty.
"You've discovered me!"
"Who are you? Why has this old ancestor never heard of you?"
Patriarch Misty sized up the human before him. At the same time, Elder Huang in the Great Hall of Burying Emperor Mountain opened his eyes and said to Elder Xian and Elder Ming beside him, "A mysterious powerhouse has emerged from the Great Han Heavenly Court. He has seen through our trick."
"Another one has emerged?"
Elder Xian was somewhat shocked.
"He can see through you, his realm is likely..." Elder Ming, who had started to speak, did not finish, his face pale.
Elder Huang's expression was grave. He turned his head, closed his eyes, and his gaze fell upon the spatial divide, looking at Li Jing not far away.
"Li Jing, Commander of the Great Han Qilin Army!"
"Speak, who are you?" Li Jing asked indifferently.
"How can my title be uttered by the mouth of an ant!" Patriarch Misty's face contorted in rage. This discovery meant that Li Jing before him had likely reached the half-step transcendent realm. Since entering the Immortal Ancient Era, no being in the Immortal Realm had ever reached this level!
