In just three short days, over two million troops had assembled in the capital of the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court. The awe-inspiring aura of immortals and the destructive Evil Qi sent waves of dreadful, piercing killing intent across countless miles.
Elite soldiers clad in sturdy armor and brandishing sharp weapons patrolled the starry sky with icy expressions and eagle-like eyes. Each of these soldiers had, at minimum, reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Martial Artists in the True Immortal Realm, usually a rare sight, were now commonplace. Those in the Profound Immortal Realm, considered experts within the Starfield, numbered in the hundreds.
Sitting on a nearby teor, Zhao Yun sensed the enemy's strength. It truly is the mightiest force within the Red Dragon Starfield! he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Ignoring the top-tier experts, a significant gap still existed between the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court and the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court—one that could not be bridged in a short ti.
"Nothing but a swarm of ants!" Lv Bu declared contemptuously, standing straight with his Sky Piercer in hand. Strength determined one's perspective. After breaking through to the Taiyi Earth Immortal Realm, the only cultivators he considered worthy of his attention were those above this realm; anyone below was rely an ant to him.
"We should launch the full-scale attack tomorrow morning!" Zhao Yun said in a chilly tone. "The Demon Hall has been destroyed. We can't afford to delay!"
To prevent the Molting Dragon Emperor from escaping, the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court had concealed the news of the Demon Hall's destruction. Only insiders knew; other factions remained oblivious.
Lv Bu nodded, a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The following day, war drums sounded, reverberating like thunder—a terrifying sound that made souls quiver.
A crimson aura of slaughter erupted, rging with furious winds to whip up a stellar storm that swept across the cosmos, obscuring the sky and blocking out the sunlight.
"Qin's army is attacking!"
"Relay my commands: all legions prepare for battle!"
"After we repel the Qin army, I, your Pri Minister, will petition His Majesty to reward your rits!"
In the court, where a colossal sand table was placed, the Pri Minister stood at the head and issued commands to the nurous generals.
"Yes, Sir!" the generals declared, bowing before hastily departing the court.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Not long after, terrifying auras erupted one after another, seeming to touch the sky. They unleashed an incredibly dreadful montum that filled the surroundings, their sheer power bringing a sense of security to the citizens within the imperial city.
"With a million-strong army defending the nation, even if the Qin Dynasty Heavenly Court possesses the might of the heavens, they can only flee in panic!" The Pri Minister laughed heartily, ecstatic as he watched the sand table simulate the frontline battle. Once I repel the Qin Army, I'll be hailed as the hero who defended the imperial city and safeguarded the nation, admired by countless people. And when the Molting Dragon Emperor erges from seclusion, I'll be generously rewarded!
"Congratulations, Pri Minister!"
"This victory is all thanks to your strategic planning, Pri Minister, ensuring success from a thousand miles away!"
"In my opinion, the Pri Minister is both a master strategist and a capable warrior! Truly, it is our people's good fortune, and that of the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court as well!"
The battle had not yet truly begun, but the civil officials were already showering the Pri Minister with flattery. This created a remarkably relaxed atmosphere in the court, devoid of any urgency from the impending war.
If the generals fighting a bloody battle on the front lines were to witness this scene, they would likely spew blood in anger.
"Attack!"
The war soon comnced.
Leading an army of one hundred thousand, Lv Bu charged like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, his forces tearing into the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court's legions.
According to the Pri Minister's arrangents, the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court's army was divided into two parts: the border legions stationed on the large teoroid, and the regional legions positioned within the Molting Dragon Miniature World.
BOOM!
Blood sprayed everywhere, dyeing the starry sky red. A large number of the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court's border soldiers perished without any chance to retaliate, and a breach was torn in their lines.
In truth, the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court's border soldiers were not weak; even the three great legions of the Demon Hall could not have easily defeated them. However, they had encountered Lv Bu—an existence more terrifying than gods or demons.
One man, one halberd, swept everything before him.
The hundred thousand soldiers of Qin were deeply inspired. Their morale soared, their strength surged, and they slaughtered all approaching enemies.
Wherever they passed, only death remained.
Occasionally, a Profound Immortal general attempted to intervene, but Lv Bu cut them down before they could even get close.
"Such incredibly pure power!"
"This is a Taiyi Earth Immortal Martial Artist!"
On the blood-misted battlefield, a commander from Hei Jiao Star detected a trace of Taiyi Earth Immortal power in Lv Bu's attacks. His scalp tingled, and a chill ran down his spine. This is madness! I'm actually an enemy to a Taiyi Earth Immortal expert!
"Retreat... Retreat!"
Without hesitation, the Hei Jiao Star commander ordered the withdrawal. His troops fell back until they were safely within their defensive Formation, yet his heart still hamred, and he remained deeply shaken.
Damn it! A mont later, the Hei Jiao Star commander slapped his forehead in sudden realization. In his rush to escape, he had forgotten to inform the other commanders.
He hastily channeled immortal energy to his throat, about to shout a warning, when he saw a dazzling beam of halberd energy split the Starfield. It viciously struck the struggling border legions, inflicting heavy casualties. Blood rained down, and mangled corpses scattered everywhere.
"A Taiyi Earth Immortal!" a terrified voice shrieked, echoing across the battlefield.
All the surviving soldiers were stunned, their minds reeling. What? We're fighting a Taiyi Earth Immortal expert?
"Damn that Pri Minister!"
"The enemy has a Taiyi Earth Immortal expert with them, and he stationed us outside the Formation!"
"If I survive this, I swear to His Majesty I'll have the Pri Minister dismissed and condemned to death by a thousand cuts!"
The commanders of the border legions panicked. Abandoning their subordinates, they fled with all their might, so even burning their essence blood to fly towards the Imperial City at unimaginable speeds.
"Activate the Formation, quickly!" the commander of the Imperial City's Imperial Guards ordered decisively, witnessing the collapse of the border legions.
It wasn't that he was heartless, but he had no other choice. An enemy Taiyi Earth Immortal expert had appeared; if he allowed the routed troops into the city and delayed the Formation's activation, the consequences would be unthinkable.
ROAR!
ROAR!
ROAR...
One by one, draconic roars echoed. Innurable golden Formation lines materialized, weaving into a massive array that enveloped the entire Molting Dragon Miniature World. Eight Jiao Dragons, imbued with extraordinary Divine Power, coiled atop the Formation, roaring as they guarded all directions with rock-solid determination, capable of repelling any invader.
This was the Eight Jiao Formation!
Similar to the great protective array of the Demon Hall, it was one of the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court's foundational strengths. Once activated, it could withstand the attacks of a Taiyi Earth Immortal expert.
In the Imperial Hall, the Pri Minister, still basking in his subordinates' flattery, sensed the Formation's activation. He frowned slightly, cursing quietly to himself, Why is the Formation activated? What a bunch of trash! They can't really be losing to the Qin army, can they?
He had received intelligence that the invading Qin army numbered no more than two hundred thousand. The forces currently gathered at the Imperial City exceeded two million. And they were beaten back to the point of having to activate the Formation? If that's not useless, what is?
Upon witnessing the Formation's activation, the border soldiers completely lost all hope. My life is over!
In the end, amidst a chorus of wretched screams, their entire army was annihilated.
Stepping over the corpses of slain enemies, Lv Bu approached the Molting Dragon Miniature World, his eyes narrowed in contempt, a cold smirk on his lips. "You think hiding in that Formation will keep you safe?"
As his words fell, he raised his Sky Piercer.
An unparalleled surge of demonic divine power exploded from the halberd, tearing across the nine heavens. It shattered suns, moons, and stars, ripped apart the Starfield, and stirred up chaotic spatial currents.
This single strike threw the entire Starfield into turmoil.
It was as if an ancient god or demon had unleashed its might—an attack of ultimate terror.
