Duan Gujin, trapped within the Lost Illusion Array, could already sense that so powerful individuals were rapidly escaping the maze.
He frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and then continued to pour Primordial Power into the Lost Illusion Array.
Monts later, he spewed out a mouthful of old blood.
"It seems I can't hold on much longer! Forget it, forget it!"
Duan Gujin knew that with his current physical condition, it was absolutely impossible to stop those masters who had already fled.
He knew that controlling the Lost Illusion Array, while also extending his Demonized Martial Soul to control the more than three hundred thousand soldiers, was an extrely difficult task.
Although he could recover so of the spent Primordial Power by consuming the Primordial Power of so soldiers through his Demonized Martial Soul, the power he absorbed from those ordinary soldiers was actually far less than what he had expended.
As ti went by, he found it increasingly difficult to control the Lost Illusion Array.
At this ti, the more than three hundred thousand soldiers trapped in the Lost Illusion Array had lost their sanity and were fighting fiercely among themselves.
Inside the Lost Illusion Array, the soldiers' eyes widened as they saw the figures of enemies they had slain before.
For this reason, those soldiers who had lost their sanity, in fear, madly swung their longswords and sabers at the enemies they perceived.
An hour later, Duan Gujin violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He intended to suppress the surge of fresh blood from his lower abdon, but after trying, he found himself completely unable to do so.
"Phew!"
Duan Gujin continuously spewed several mouthfuls of fresh blood, sensing that the Primordial Power within him was running wild.
A feeling flashed through his heart that if he did not give up control of the Lost Illusion Array, he would suffer a backlash.
So, he imdiately gave up control of the Lost Illusion Array.
The next mont, a thunderous explosion spread.
All the statues within the Lost Illusion Array exploded with Thunder Bombs.
Feeling the trendous thunderous roar coming from the Void ahead, the Seventh Imperial Uncle and all his subordinates were profoundly shocked.
They rushed out from the trenches that had been dug early in the morning, and when they saw the situation ahead clearly, they all gasped in horror.
They saw that all the enemies ahead had fallen, many of whom were wailing on the ground.
"How tragic!"
Even though they knew that those lying on the ground were their enemies, everyone present, including the Seventh Imperial Uncle, felt reluctant at heart.
After all, they were all people from the sa country!
Additionally, those more than three hundred thousand soldiers had been controlled by Cao Dingtian.
The Seventh Imperial Uncle sighed, "After this catastrophe, our Country Gulai has suffered great losses in troops and generals!"
Seeing the scene before him, the Seventh Imperial Uncle's hatred for Cao Dingtian deepened.
Were it not for Cao Dingtian, Country Gulai would not have lost so many soldiers.
The Seventh Imperial Uncle thought of Duan Gujin, the man behind all the current tragedies, and his heart was violently shaken.
The Seventh Imperial Uncle's mind raced, he ordered his n to deal with the remaining soldiers, while he himself rushed towards the location of the Array Eye where Duan Gujin had set up the Lost Illusion Array. He wanted to know how Duan Gujin was doing now.
Soon, he saw Duan Gujin.
At that mont, Duan Gujin's complexion was as pale as snow, and he was continuously spewing fresh blood from his mouth.
Seeing Duan Gujin's pitiful state, Seventh Imperial Uncle flashed to his side and fed him so Elixir Pills, then assisted him in Energy Healing.
About an hour later, Duan Gujin finally ca to.
"What's the situation now?"
Duan Gujin, upon seeing that it was Seventh Imperial Uncle who had saved him, quickly asked.
"Our side has won a great victory!"
It was only after hearing the reports from his subordinates did Seventh Imperial Uncle realize that they had achieved a sweeping victory.
Reportedly, Xu Tianhuo and Cao Dingtian led more than three hundred thousand troops into the Imperial Mausoleum, but in the end, only a very small number managed to escape.
Of the soldiers present, the more than three hundred thousand were either dead or injured.
Previously trapped within the Lost Illusion Array, and influenced by the Demonized Martial Soul released by Duan Gujin, they had beco exceedingly bloodthirsty, killing each other within the illusion.
According to their tally, it's estimated that over sixty thousand soldiers died, and the vast majority of the remaining soldiers were injured.
Although there were so enemy soldiers who resisted tenaciously after the illusion array was shattered, those soldiers were ultimately exterminated by Seventh Imperial Uncle's forces.
In this battle, Seventh Imperial Uncle's side won victory at a minimal cost.
Initially, Seventh Imperial Uncle was sowhat apprehensive; this nearly complete victory was not at all within his prior expectations.
Seventh Imperial Uncle knew how important Duan Gujin was to him, and he imdiately dispatched people to take Duan Gujin deep into the Imperial Mausoleum, sending a heavy force to protect his safety.
He had intended to charge straight into the Capital City to pursue Cao Dingtian, but soon, he received a ssage from his subordinates.
"That Cao Dingtian really is audacious; he actually used the safety of the entire ng Royal Family to threaten !"
Turns out that Cao Dingtian, realizing his side had failed and, driven by desperation, used his remaining forces to seize most of the Imperial Family of the ng Royal Family, holding them hostage to threaten Seventh Imperial Uncle.
This tactic of kidnapping hostages was very shoddy and would inevitably lead to resistance from the people across the world in the future.
But for Cao Dingtian, he knew his cause was lost, and he was a cornered beast.
If he didn't do so, perhaps he couldn't even survive till tomorrow.
Under such circumstances, he could only choose what seed like the most foolish thod to threaten Seventh Imperial Uncle.
When Seventh Imperial Uncle heard the request from Cao Dingtian's subordinate, his gaze turned icy, and he said: "Go back and tell Cao Dingtian, tell him, not to harm the people of the ng Royal Family indiscriminately! If he indeed harms anyone from the ng Imperial Family, I will surely tear him to pieces!"
"Understood!"
A bead of sweat trickled down the forehead of Cao Dingtian's subordinate, who knew that Cao Dingtian had completely burned bridges with Seventh Imperial Uncle, and they would likely soon enter a decisive battle state.
Although it's said that envoys in war should not be killed, history had seen many envoys slain by the opposition.
The envoy felt secretly fortunate and then returned with Seventh Imperial Uncle's ssage to report back to Cao Dingtian.
Knowing that Seventh Imperial Uncle would not launch an attack on him, Cao Dingtian finally heaved a sigh of relief.
If Seventh Imperial Uncle had launched an assault, he wouldn't have been completely powerless to retaliate.
But that would have ant complete destruction for both sides.
Once Seventh Imperial Uncle truly launched a fierce attack, he would certainly eradicate all the royals currently in the Imperial Palace!
anwhile, back in the Imperial Mausoleum, one of Seventh Imperial Uncle's subordinates inquired.
"Seventh Imperial Uncle, why don't we pursue the victory? If we attack now, we can easily eliminate Cao Dingtian."
Seventh Imperial Uncle shook his head and said, "I cannot disregard the safety of other mbers of the ng Royal Family! If I push Cao Dingtian into a corner, he's certain to resort to anything! Besides, he still can mobilize more than fifty thousand soldiers to confront us, and should we engage in a decisive battle, the outco would be unpredictable! Even if we win, it would rely be a Pyrrhic victory!"
