On the battlefield located at the Wu Dynasty's border, the war had already entered its climax.
The devils of the Tianmo Sect and the cultivators of the Wu Dynasty were fighting with all their might, and heads would fall to the ground from time to time.
It was a scene of rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
In the sky, Empress Xia Zhuyuan and Devil Emperor Jing Daotian also joined the battle.
"Zhuyuan, as long as you're willing to be my woman, I can stop the war for you!"
Jing Daotian's black hair danced as he sized Xia Zhuyuan up.
"You're dreaming," Xia Zhuyuan's reply to him was quite frank, "Jing Daotian, good and evil can not coexist. Your Tianmo Sect has plunged many lives into misery and suffering, and you have committed all kinds of evil. I would be ashamed to be on your side."
"Then let's fight."
Jing Daotian didn't mind.
He knew very well that some women would only give in when they were in pain.
Boom!
As soon as Jing Daotian made his move, a sky-covering palm print pressed down on Xia Zhuyuan.
"Zhuyuan, last time, you were heavily injured by me. This time, you still can't resist me."
Jing Daotian was very confident.
But when Xia Zhuyuan made her move, he was shocked.
To think Xia Zhuyuan blocked his palm with one palm.
Dust fell from the sky, and the monstrous palm print turned into dust.
"Have you recovered from your injuries?"
Not only had she recovered, but she had even broken through to the tier 9 Martial God realm!
Jing Daotian frowned. It had only been a few days, and he didn't expect the Empress to have changed so much.
From the looks of it, the two generals under him, Jueding and Qianli Xiu, were definitely killed by the Empress.
"Well, now, I want to conquer you even more."
Jing Daotian laughed and soared.
The people from the various ancient kingdoms and Holy Lands who had come to watch the battle were also shocked.
"To think the Empress of the Wu Dynasty has broken through to the tier 9 Martial God realm."
"Impressive. No wonder she dares to challenge the Tianmo Sect. So this is where her confidence comes from."
"Even so, she has just broken through to tier 9. Can she really fight against the Devil Emperor?"
The onlookers were skeptical.
A green-robed man from the Fuyao Holy Land stood in the dark.
"The Holy Mother said that we must protect the Empress's life no matter what, but we can't become enemies with the Tianmo Sect. So, I can't make a move now. I can only save the Empress's life if she's no match for the Devil Emperor."
The green-robed man was prepared at all times.
The spectators from the Tang and Yan Kingdoms were also very nervous.
After all, they were neighbors to the Wu Dynasty. They were interdependent. If Wu Dynasty fell, they would be implicated as well. As such, they were also paying close attention to the battle.
The battle continued.
Boom!
Suddenly, an earth-shattering sound rang out.
The Tianmo Sect had actually blown up the Wei River dam that connected the Tang and Wu Kingdoms.
Water surged.
"Oh no, the dam has been destroyed by the Tianmo Sect. They're trying to drown the Wu Dynasty."
"The Wei River is very turbulent. Once the dam is destroyed, the six cities in the west of the Wu Dynasty will be flooded. By then, millions of people will die."
"The Tianmo Sect is so ruthless."
"What do we do now?"
The City Lords of the six cities in the west and their people were in despair.
If they had known, they would have chosen to make peace with the Tianmo Sect.
Now, the six cities in the west were going to be reduced to a vast ocean. What could they do for the millions of people?
Jing Daotian roared with laughter, "Zhuyuan, why aren't you sending your soldiers to save the dam?"
The soldiers of the Wu Dynasty were in a dilemma.
If they went to save the dam, the devils of the Tianmo Sect would take the opportunity to disrupt their formation.
However, if they did not save the dam, millions of people would be in great misery. Among those people would be their relatives, wives, children, and elderly parents.
What should they do?
The hearts of the people were scattered, and the morale of the army was unstable.
However, at this moment, the Empress, who was fighting in the sky, revealed a smile.
"As expected, everything was within senior Chen's calculations. He knew that the Tianmo Sect would use such a despicable method. You want me to submit... It's a pity that your scheme has long been seen through by senior Chen!"
Whoosh.
The Empress swung her right hand, and a beam of blazing light flew out. The snow-white Angelic Wings were like white clouds that covered the sky. The moment it landed in the vast ocean, Dao rhythms surged. Runes circulated and emitted a dazzling light. It was like a whale swallowing everything, sucking in the vast volume of water.
"Hmm?"
"What's that?"
"A magic item!"
"The Empress was prepared and has used a water-type magic item!"
All the factions were shocked.
Jing Daotian was also surprised. He didn't expect the Empress to have such a powerful water-type magic item.
However, blowing up the dam was just to mess up the morale of the enemy army. He wasn't betting on this to win the war. Jing Daotian still had a true trump card.
"Zhuyuan, I'm sorry!"
Buzz.
Jing Daotian revealed his trump card.
Boom, boom, boom!
A blood-red flag flew out from his sleeve, and Jing Daotian let his magic item see the light of day.
"The Blood Soul Flag. This flag can absorb the souls and blood qi of the dead. In this battlefield of slaughter, the power of this flag will increase explosively. Zhuyuan, be careful."
As soon as the Blood Soul Flag was out, 100000 souls surged out from it with ferocious faces.
The souls of the dead that had just died on the battlefield also flew out one by one.
One more corpse was one more blood soul.
The 100,000 dead souls surrounded Xia Zhuyuan. She was bound by the dead souls and could not move.
The battle situation immediately turned against the Wu Dynasty.
Jing Daotian walked over and held Xia Zhuyuan's chin, revealing a sinister smile, "You can't move, right? You will ultimately fall into my hands and become my woman."
...
In Dama Village, Chen Xuan stood at a high vantage point and looked at the western horizon, where the color of blood seemed to blot out the sun.
"What's going on outside?" He could not help but ask.
Aunt Li replied, "Don't you know? There's a war going on outside. I heard that a devil sect has invaded the Wu Dynasty. The war has already started and there's no peace everywhere. Xiao Chen, you must not leave the mountain. This village is rather remote, they won't be able to reach here."
Chen Xuan looked at the dense crowd of people and battleships on the western horizon, as well as the blood-red light that filled the sky.
With that, his determination was broken in an instant.
He quickly returned to his room and took out a small booklet. There were a few words written on it: The Plan to Leave the Mountains.
Then, he tore off the latest page he had just finished writing, titled "N preparations before leaving the mountain".
He then wrote a line of small words on another page: "It's dangerous outside the mountain. I'll think about it after a year."
Sigh. The outside world was too terrifying.
It wasn't easy to have obtained a second life, so it was better for him to just stay in this small mountain village.
Although life was boring, at the very least, safety was guaranteed.
...
On the border battlefield, Xia Zhuyuan was trapped by the Blood Soul Flag, and her life was at stake.
Just as she was about to give up, a voice suddenly echoed in her ears.
"This trip will be dangerous. You are a frail woman, after all. If you encounter any danger, you can spray this on your opponent's eyes."
It was senior Chen's voice.
All of a sudden, Xia Zhuyuan seemed to have gained strength, and she tried her best to take out the pepper spray that senior Chen had given her.
Chi!
It was aimed at the Devil Emperor's eyes.
The yellow-brown gas formed a mist that covered the sky and blotted out the sun.
The few Martial Saints of the Tianmo Sect who had surrounded Xia Zhuyuan were annihilated as if they had entered the six paths of reincarnation.
Even the Devil Emperor Jing Daotian covered his eyes and shouted, "Ah, my eyes, my eyes!"
It was terrifying.
The tier 9 Martial God, the Devil Emperor Jing Daotian, had a body immune to all poisons.
But now, he couldn't see anything.
He had gone blind!
The people who were watching the battle were all shocked.
"Oh my God, that thing actually blinded the Devil Emperor."
"How could the Empress have such a treasure?"
"Could it be that there is an even more powerful force supporting the Empress?"
"Otherwise, how would she dare to start a war with the Tianmo Sect?"
"Yes, that must be the case. That magic item must have been given to the Empress by the person behind her."
Everyone had their speculations
The battle situation was instantly reversed, and the Tianmo Sect's army panicked.
"Protect the Devil Emperor!"
"Retreat!"
"Retreat now!"
The Wu Dynasty's army took advantage of the enemy's weakness and killed countless enemies.
They had won a perfect battle.
The Empress even captured Jing Daotian's most precious treasure, the Blood Soul Flag!
The war was over.
At this point, Dugu Sheng's clansman finally arrived. He clearly didn't know what was going on as he said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, my clan's Dao Entry realm patriarch sends his greetings to you. He said that as long as you say the word, he will come out of seclusion to kill the enemies of the Wu Dynasty!"
"A Dao Entry realm patriarch!"
This time, the Empress listened carefully.
Not just the Empress, but the ancient kingdoms and Holy Lands were all shocked.
"A Dao Entry realm celestial has appeared in the Wu Dynasty?!"
"No wonder the great Empress could win. The magic item in her hand must have been given to her by the Dao Entry realm celestial. Moreover, the Dao Entry realm celestial seems to have a backup plan. If the Empress was no match, he would've personally come to kill the enemy!"
"From the looks of it, it was no wonder the Tianmo Sect lost."
Xia Zhuyuan looked at the Dugu clansman and said awkwardly, "As you can see, we won, so there's no need for your patriarch to make a move."
"You have won?" The Dugu clansman was confused.
This script didn't seem right.
The patriarch had even put on the battle robe that he had sealed for a hundred years, all ready to join the war and kill the enemy.
But now, how did the Wu Dynasty win before he even made his move?
