"Good!"
Zhao Yao Immortal Emperor turned around, looking at Yuan Xu Immortal Emperor. At this moment, the Tai Xu You Palace had finally made its decision: to rival the Great Han Heavenly Court!
...
"Who are you?"
Deep within the celestial abyss, the boundless blood mist gradually dispersed, only to be swallowed by the re-condensed chaotic energy. The phantom image of the hundred thousand blood wolf riders also disappeared from the sight of the several Immortal Emperors.
"Li Mu of the Great Han Heavenly Court!" Li Mu stated coldly, holding the banners of the Xuanwu and Qiongqi Legions.
"Li Mu!"
"Very good!"
Kuang Shen Immortal Emperor reached out and took the Zhao Yao Palace banner fluttering in the chaos. He glared fiercely at Li Mu and said, "The Tian Chi Legion was defeated by you. Do you dare to contend with me again?"
"Let alone you, even if the two of you joined forces, this general would not fear you!" Li Mu declared with immense arrogance, controlling the banners of both armies.
"Audacious! Kuang Shen, I will aid you!" Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor extended his palm and emerged from the celestial abyss, his hand entering the battlefield. With a grasp, a blood-red banner materialized in his hand.
"Army formation gather!"
Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor and Kuang Shen Immortal Emperor stood in the celestial abyss, each holding a banner. With a loud shout, from the depths of the celestial abyss, behind Kuang Shen Immortal Emperor, a colossal black divine ape materialized. A five-colored imperial pattern condensed within the divine ape's palms, its black fur suddenly becoming kaleidoscopic. On the other side, Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor's banner trembled, and instantly, thunder rumbled from the depths of the celestial abyss. Vast streaks of light surged from space into this celestial abyss, transforming into a giant blue arrow above the banner.
"I can shatter it with a raised hand!"
Li Mu's expression turned cold. With the Xuanwu Legion banner in his left hand and the Qiongqi Legion banner in his right, he shook both banners. Before him, a black shield, ten thousand feet tall, flowed with Li Mu's imperial patterns, blocking the front. The Qiongqi roared, and a brown long sword materialized behind the shield.
"Kill!"
Kuang Shen Immortal Emperor and Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor roared. The five-colored divine ape swung its fists, its immense power causing the celestial abyss to tremble. The blue arrow also shot out, preceding the divine ape and striking the shield formed by the Xuanwu army formation. With a boom, the blue arrow stopped a few inches into the shield. With a thunderous roar, the arrow shattered, transforming into countless bolts of lightning that continued to bombard the black shield.
"Tremble!"
Kuang Shen Immortal Emperor roared. The colossal five-colored divine ape swung its fists, and at the moment the arrow exploded, countless fist shadows rained down upon the black shield. Li Mu's body trembled slightly, and endless black light shot from his eyes, striking the black shield, causing its energy to surge and block the countless fist shadows. At this moment, the expressions of Kuang Shen Immortal Emperor and Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor, who controlled the banners, changed drastically. The countless lightning bolts had depleted their blood essence, and the rampaging five-colored divine ape's relentless pounding could not break through the black shield. With a bang, the divine ape's fists shattered, and with a crack, the palm of Kuang Shen Immortal Emperor, who controlled the banner, split open with bloody marks, dripping blood as the materialized five-colored divine ape exploded.
*Swish!*
Li Mu waved the Qiongqi Legion banner. The brown sword light behind the black shield suddenly burst forth, its peerless sword energy suppressing the celestial abyss. The brown light enveloped everything, followed by a "bang." The banner controlled by Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor shattered. He hurriedly reached out to grasp it, trying to re-condense it, but was seized by the neck by Kuang Shen Immortal Emperor. While Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor was utterly bewildered, he was thrown towards the erupting sword energy with a "boom." At this moment, the brown light was unparalleled, directly engulfing Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the brown sword energy, imbued with Li Mu's imperial patterns, pierced through Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor's powerful imperial might, tore through his flesh and bones, shattered his physical body, and plunged into his soul sea. The splashing imperial blood could not escape three feet from his body, all of it being ground to dust by the sword light. With a miserable scream, Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor was completely torn apart by the sword light, leaving nothing behind.
With a rumble, above the battlefield on the ground and even above all the territories of the Thunder Dao Alliance, blood rain suddenly churned. The imperial destinies struggled and wailed. Under the killing blow condensed by Li Mu's army formation, the second strongest expert of the Thunder Dao Alliance, Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor, who controlled sixty-one imperial destinies, perished in the depths of the celestial abyss.
"Immortal Emperor... Immortal Emperor~~~."
On the battlefield, countless soldiers of the Thunder Dao Alliance watched the churning blood rain. The blood rain filled the sky, and the imperial destinies struggled. This was the sign of an Immortal Emperor's demise, appearing over their territory. There was only one explanation: their Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor had fallen. This powerful, immortal Immortal Emperor, who had guided the Thunder Dao Alliance through eons, had perished in the celestial abyss, killed by the Great Han Heavenly Court.
Li Mu held the banner, calmly watching this scene. On the other side, Kuang Shen Immortal Emperor, who had used Jiao Heng Immortal Emperor to withstand all the killing blows and thus dodged Li Mu's attack, lay panting heavily in the chaos.
"Kill!"
On the battlefield, Lian Po, seeing the blood rain churning, pursued victory and commanded the three armies. Instantly, the two great legions charged madly, breaking through the defenses of the Zhao Yao Palace army. For a time, the battlefield collapsed, blood rain surged, and the sounds of endless slaughter and wails echoed outward from the battlefield in all directions.
"Wuwuwu~~~"
Half an hour later, a spatial passage materialized, and bugle calls resounded. The chaotic and fierce battlefield turned towards the spatial passage. For a moment, the killing stopped!
"Could they have reinforcements?"
Looking at the spatial passage, where a vast expanse of blood essence rushed out, signaling an army of thousands, Le Yi frowned and said, "This is all the elite forces of the Thunder Dao Alliance. The Zhao Yao Palace army has five million troops. Where else would they have an army?" Lian Po shook his head gravely. If they had more troops, they would have deployed them all from the start. The enemy's morale was unstable, and their blood essence was greatly reduced. At this point, blindly deploying more troops would not only fail to turn the tide but would only accelerate the loss of their core strength.
"Boom!"
The spatial passage erupted with boundless light, and waves of dragon aura surged forth with resounding dragon roars. Vast legions instantly emerged from the spatial passage and charged into the battlefield.
"It's Tai Xu You Palace!"
"Defend!"
Lian Po's expression changed, and he hastily ordered his troops to defend.
With thunderous rumbles, the vast legions instantly surged into the battlefield and clashed with the Great Han soldiers. Le Yi estimated there were at least five million of them.
