Just as Ren Mozi walked towards Qing Yanjing, and a determined look appeared in her eyes, a voice filled with authority resounded in the ears of the three individuals.
Even more terrifyingly, upon hearing this voice, the faces of Ren Mozi and Di Mozi suddenly changed drastically. They felt as if a giant hammer had fiercely struck their sea of souls, bringing about heart-wrenching pain.
Simultaneously, their blood also vibrated with this voice, eventually bursting out of their bodies, turning the two of them into blood-soaked figures.
"Ugh, ah!!!"
In an instant, the two who had just been showing off their might fell to the ground, rolling in pain with blood dyeing the earth red.
On the contrary, when the voice rang out, Qing Yanjing immediately felt a warm current flowing within her body. Within a few breaths, her previously immobilized body regained sensation, and shortly after, she stood up.
In disbelief, she looked at her hands, feeling the energy within that was continuously healing her injuries. Qing Yanjing felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy.
Gazing at the two figures writhing on the ground, Qing Yanjing's eyes reflected astonishment.
She quickly realized, lifted her head, and searched around. Soon, she locked onto the slender figure in mid-air.
"Who is it?"
Seeing this unfamiliar figure, her first reaction was to think he was young. Comparing their similar ages and his vastly superior strength, Qing Yanjing wondered who among the younger generation in the Great Thousand World possessed such power.
Suspicion filled Qing Yanjing's eyes.
"Qing Yanjing?"
Jiang Yun's figure flickered, crossing layers of space to appear in front of Qing Yanjing, looking at the gentle-faced woman before him. His expression grew peculiar as he spoke.
"Who are you?"
"How do you know me?"
Qing Yanjing was startled when Jiang Yun accurately called out her name, a wary look immediately appearing in her eyes.
After confirming Qing Yanjing's identity, Jiang Yun gave her a peculiar glance before turning to look at the wailing Di Mozi and Ren Mozi, asking coldly, "Speak up, what are your extraterrestrial evil tribe's plans for the Chiyan Continent?"
Seeing that Jiang Yun didn't seem hostile towards her and noticing him interrogate two members of the extraterrestrial evil tribe, Qing Yanjing curiously walked over. Even if Jiang Yun was there to capture her, she wouldn't be able to resist against a Sky Supreme powerhouse.
After figuring this out, Qing Yanjing walked slowly over and stood quietly by Jiang Yun's side, listening intently.
"Who are you?"
As Jiang Yun approached, the pain in their bodies seemed to be suppressed, not as excruciating as before. Panting heavily, Di Mozi looked at Jiang Yun, a flicker of fear in his eyes.
"I am Jiang Yun, the one you speak of!" Jiang Yun's calm gaze remained fixed on them as he spoke, revealing an answer that surprised all three.
"You're Jiang Yun ×3!"
Hearing the incredulous exclamations, Jiang Yun's eyes remained calmly fixed on Di Mozi and Ren Mozi.
Feeling the terrifying pressure in Jiang Yun's gaze, the two instantly felt suffocated. Perhaps out of a sense of hopeless abandon, Di Mozi started laughing.
"Jie jie jie, so you're Jiang Yun. My brother and I admit defeat for today. Dying at the hands of the infamous Jiang Yun is not a regrettable end. But..."
Di Mozi's gaze turned sinister and venomous as he stared at Jiang Yun, "Jiang Yun, don't celebrate too early. Our Holy Heaven lord has personally taken action. Your fate, the fate of the Chiyan Continent, and even the fate of the Great Thousand World is already sealed."
"I await your company in death.0"
"Boom!"
Before he could finish speaking, a palm imprint descended from the sky. Without making a sound, the two turned into a blood mist, completely disappearing from the world.
"Annoying!" Retracting his palm coldly, Jiang Yun spoke in an icy tone.
Beside him, Qing Yanjing's beautiful eyes frequently glanced at him after learning his true identity, her unusual gaze even detectable to Jiang Yun's back.
Upon knowing it was Jiang Yun, she no longer worried he was sent by her clan to capture her, as the Futuo Ancient Clan didn't have the power to enlist him.
Her curiosity about Jiang Yun had brought her to Chiyan Continent, much like a fan girl. Now that he was before her, and he had even saved her, she couldn't help but be curious.
"Where do you plan to go next?" Jiang Yun turned to Qing Yanjing and softly asked.
"Swish!" Suddenly turning back, Jiang Yun caught Qing Yanjing's secret glance. Her cheeks blushed in embarrassment as she lowered her head and stammered, "I don't know!"
Frowning at her answer, Jiang Yun made Qing Yanjing worry he might be annoyed. She hastily spoke up, "I heard that the extraterrestrial evil tribe seems to have grand plans. I want to go to the frontlines with you. As a member of the Great Thousand World, I should also help defend the Chiyan Continent."
Hearing this, Jiang Yun continued to frown but directed his gaze towards the distant horizon, speaking solemnly, "They came so quickly!"
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, the borderlands trembled violently as if dragons were rolling underground.
"Roar!!!"
The earth shook as terrifying demonic roars from the border carried an aura of endless destruction.
"What's going on?"
Qing Yanjing stared in shock at the scene, feeling the impending dread despite being miles away. She nervously turned to Jiang Yun by her side.
"Sons of the Great Thousand World, your ancestor has personally descended; come out quickly to meet your deaths!"
Before Jiang Yun could respond, a sinister voice echoing across the heavens had already answered Qing Yanjing's question.
"Holy Heaven."
Jiang Yun's calm gaze fell on the border where the noise originated, whispering softly, eyes as placid as a deep pool.
"The extraterrestrial evil tribe is invading, and the entire Chiyan Continent will be engulfed in war. I will send you away," Jiang Yun said calmly, turning back to Qing Yanjing.
"No, I am a Great Sovereign and a high-level Spiritual Array Master. I can fight on the battlefield!" Qing Yanjing responded firmly, her eyes reflecting her determination as she looked at Jiang Yun.
She had already reached Upper Great Sovereign, and after surviving the life-and-death battle and being healed by Jiang Yun's energy, she had smoothly advanced to Consummate Great Sovereign with her Eight Divine Veins talent.
With her current cultivation, combined with her arrays and the Futuo Ancient Clan's methods, she could dominate among the Great Sovereigns. However, the battlefield was unpredictable.
"Are you sure? On the battlefield, no one can look out for you!" Jiang Yun's gaze remained calm as he looked at Qing Yanjing.
"Mm!" Qing Yanjing did not respond with words but looked resolutely at Jiang Yun.
"Death will be your choice!"
The next second, Qing Yanjing felt her body lighten as a hand clasped her waist. After a spin, she found herself enveloped in a warm embrace.
With warmth in his arms, Jiang Yun crossed the void, heading toward the border battlefield of the Chiyan Continent.
Far Northern Border.
"Boom!!!"
Deafening war drums sounded, and the battle broke out. Legions charged forward, engaging in a grand decisive battle.
"Wuuuu…"
The desolate horn blared, and countless beings appeared on the horizon, too many to see the end of.
The extraterrestrial evil tribe, fully prepared and awaiting orders from the Demon Emperors, formed a black mass, pressing towards the Chiyan City.
"Are these the extraterrestrial evil tribe?"
A trembling voice spoke from the newly joined strongmen of the Chiyan Temple, who, upon first sight of the extraterrestrial evil tribe's grand scale, found their legs shaking uncontrollably.
"Heh, don't be scared. With Lord Lin and the Demon Slayer King here, what's to fear from the extraterrestrial evil tribe? Their army may be large, but the individual strength is not formidable. We should seize the chance to kill them and get some demonic points for my great divine powers. The extraterrestrial evil tribe could not have come at a better time."
Someone laughed wickedly at the terrified new soldiers, eyes gleaming with killing intent as they wiped their treasure blades, staring at the enemy army.
On the distant horizon, a huge red sun was rising, and the crimson clouds seemed to bleed, casting a heavy red hue as if foreboding something.
Half the sky turned red, spreading like blood, eerily beautiful and heavy with the stench of blood.
"Kill!"
A Great Sovereign bellowed from the city, shaking the heavens and leading the charge into the extraterrestrial evil tribe's army, wielding a battle halberd with unstoppable might.
This was a commander, a top-tier figure beneath Sky Sovereign. When the Demon Emperors and Heaven Sovereigns had yet to appear, his strength alone was unparalleled on this battlefield.
"Boom!" The earth crumbled, and his halberd slashed through the sky, emitting brilliant light, sweeping through the extraterrestrial evil tribe's army, killing all in its path.
Blood sprayed as swathes of the extraterrestrial evil tribe screamed and fell.
"Impudent!"
A sharp cry from the enemy's ranks sent a snow-white whip flying, growing thicker until it reached a hundred zhang, zealously attacking the commander.
"Boom!"
They clashed instantly, weapons meeting with earth-shattering force, shaking the space within thousands of miles.
"Kill..."
Their battle opened the floodgates, unleashing a full-scale slaughter between the extraterrestrial evil tribe and the Great Thousand world's forces.
The fight turned brutal and intense immediately.
"Puff!"
Blood splattered frequently. The fierce battle raged on, with bodies falling step by step, making the scene extremely gruesome.
"Kill!!!"
The heavens seemed about to shatter from the war energy's impact, shaking the surroundings as the ground seemed to sink in.
"Puff!"
A streak of flowing light flashed quickly across the sky, decapitating the extraterrestrial evil tribe's early assailant as the Great Sovereign from the Chiyan Temple's halberd slashed through.
The commander was incredibly formidable, having endured over a hundred battles at the border. His techniques were terrifying, practicing the Chiyan Temple's fearsome divine powers.
During the epic clash, his halberd swept out like a heavenly blade, slashing off the enemy's head, sending it flying with a spray of blood.
"Well done!!!"
Seeing this, the Great Thousand World's soldiers roared, morale soaring.
"Shwoosh!"
Before they could celebrate, the next moment, a terrifying beam flashed across the sky, causing temporary blindness. When their vision returned, an arrow had pierced the commander's chest.
"No!!!"
Realizing this, many shouted in dismay, bewildered that the commander, who had gained the upper hand, was now defeated.
"Ah, commander!" A distant figure yelled, shaking the heavens, failing to stop the commander's demise.
This is the reality of the battlefield: life or death hangs by a thread. One moment, you might be a heroic figure, but the next, an unseen attack could end your life.
"Form up!"
A war array master shouted, directing the army to attack in unison. The extraterrestrial evil tribe retaliated with wave after wave of assaults.
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"
"…"
The cries of battle shattered the heavens. The ferocity of the fight turned the space and the earth into ruin, filling the air with murderous energy.
This battle was shocking, with blood raining down like a storm, drenching the earth in crimson.
Under the early morning's red light, everything seemed even more eerie and grim, and the blood scent filled the air.
The sounds of war filled the heavens and earth, depicting a hellish scene, as blood flowed and bodies piled up across thousands of miles.
In the northern border, innumerable beings clashed violently, blood soaking the very ground. The relentless combat filled the air with ghastly sounds, sending shivers up many spines.
Battling on vast grounds, millions of creatures from both worlds engaged in a grand clash. The bodies piled up across tens of thousands of miles, representing different regions.
War at such a colossal scale meant vast areas being affected.
The battlefield knew no weak. Even Supreme beings faced unimaginable risks, capable of devastating hundreds of miles during their fights.
As both realms clashed, the vast territory became the colossal battlefield.
