"The Sky-Rending Rhinoceros Legion!"
Before the vast army, Guo Xiamai let out a cold roar, his blade intent radiating and shimmering in the heavens. Behind him, Ge Congzhou led thirty thousand Sky-Rending Rhinoceros soldiers closely.
Instantly, Ge Congzhou raised his general's banner. Streams of dark, ethereal light ignited within the army, and traces of divine power flowed through the myriad soldiers. The thirty thousand soldiers forcefully raised their long spears. The cold lances, like so many unicorn horns, with their sharp, frigid gleam, pointed directly at the city walls, their chilling radiance surging skyward!
"This Great Han Divine Dynasty actually possesses a True God Legion!"
A副将 (fùjiàng - deputy general) at the 至尊 (Zhìzūn - Supreme) realm paled slightly. A mere Divine Dynasty had such a powerful army?
"Formation!"
Guo Xiamai bellowed. A dark, ethereal divine radiance descended from the sky like a dense fog, layering upon itself and enveloping the thirty thousand streaks of cold light!
In an instant, the dark, ethereal mist that poured from the heavens merged with the divine power of thirty thousand soldiers. A colossal aura descended upon the area, plunging the world into sudden darkness. High above in the firmament, a smear of crimson broke through.
The divine beast, the Sky-Rending Rhinoceros, manifested. Its eyes blazed like divine suns, and a single horn atop its head pulsed with terrifying divine power. Centered on the tip of its horn, the void for a hundred li in every direction was covered in dense, crisscrossing cracks. The entire formation array on the defensive fortress instantly collapsed, and the myriad soldiers on the ramparts turned into bloody mist!
Three deputy generals at the 至尊 realm stood on the city walls, their pupils constricting. The moment the formation shattered, before they could even react, a dark, ethereal divine radiance, like a long spear, emerged from nothingness and struck before their eyes. In less than a breath, they were annihilated, almost in unison with the destruction of the formation!
"No!"
One of the 至尊 generals found his body being torn apart. His shocked eyes finally registered what was happening as he heard a scream from his lips before his entire being exploded into fragments, streams of blood mist scattering in the void.
Boom!
Several more dark, ethereal divine radiances plummeted down. Amidst the cascading blood mist, they pierced through and struck directly into the defensive fortress!
In an instant, the earth cracked and mountains crumbled. The fortress, which had stood here for an unknown age, was at this moment completely submerged in dark radiance and dust!
Within the fortress, countless soldiers of the Horizontal Heaven Immortal Dynasty perished. Under the crisscrossing dark, ethereal divine radiances, life within the fortress steadily weakened.
Boom, boom…!
Violent explosions continued to fill the air. Guo Xiamai held his battle bow, his gaze fixed on the center of the blast. Occasionally, one or two bloody figures would surge out, only to be instantly killed by a single arrow from Guo Xiamai.
Rumble!!
The Sky-Rending Rhinoceros army split into two wings, encircling the entire center of the explosion. Only after the dark, ethereal divine radiance dissipated and the dust gradually settled did the horrifying scene within reveal itself.
Blood water covered everything, and the few remaining figures were charred, struggling to support their weakened bodies.
The main general of the Horizontal Heaven Immortal Dynasty's armor was shattered, and he bore wounds of varying depths all over his body.
"Surrender not!"
"Death!"
Guo Xiamai held his battle bow, a dark, ethereal arrow nocked. He coldly watched the Horizontal Heaven general emerge with difficulty from the bloody ruins. He suddenly roared!
Fu Cunshen watched this scene from afar. He did not step forward. The Sky-Rending Rhinoceros Legion, which had surrounded the ruined fortress, pointed their blades forward, streaks of cold light flickering around the perimeter of the ruins.
"Refuse to surrender, and die!"
Following Guo Xiamai, the army's thunderous roar enveloped the area. That terrifying might struck a deep blow to the few surviving soldiers of the Horizontal Heaven Immortal Dynasty, their eyes darting with fear.
The surroundings were covered in dark, ethereal divine radiance. Coupled with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they were like heavenly soldiers and generals emerging from the abyss, terrifying beyond measure!
"Humans! How dare you invade our Horizontal Heaven's borders!"
The Horizontal Heaven general stopped, thick blood clinging to his body. He looked at the army before him and suddenly roared in anger.
"The Horizontal Heaven Immortal Dynasty's millions of troops have been frequently active at the border, causing immense trouble for our Great Han Divine Dynasty. For the peace of mind of our border populace, the Divine Emperor has launched an attack on the Horizontal Heaven. If you surrender, you may live. If you resist to the end, you will only find death!"
Guo Xiamai put away his battle bow, gripping a long saber in his hand. He said coldly, the Sky-Rending Rhinoceros Legion around him poised, awaiting his command.
"Presumptuous!!"
"In the Western Frontier, only our Horizontal Heaven Immortal Dynasty can lead you to the pinnacle of the planes. What are you, the Great Han Divine Dynasty, considered!"
"Even the Azure Profound Immortal Dynasty and the Roaming Deer Immortal Dynasty are but half the strength of my Horizontal Heaven. For you to ask this general to surrender to your Great Han Divine Dynasty! Absolutely not!"
The Horizontal Heaven general felt immense humiliation. A mere 至尊 ant dared to demand he surrender his city.
"Kill!"
The moment the general finished speaking, Guo Xiamai's expression turned instantly cold. He raised his right hand, and his long saber swept out horizontally!
"Kill!"
The general's order shook the surroundings, and the hundreds of thousands of Sky-Rending Rhinoceros soldiers let out a thunderous roar!
The Sky-Rending Rhinoceros Legion had already encircled the fortress ruins. Divine power from all directions swept across the sky. The terrifying dark, ethereal divine radiance, stained with rich blood energy, was even more fearsome!
Hundreds of thousands of Sky-Rending Rhinoceros soldiers simultaneously unleashed their long-stored attacks. These hundreds of thousands of killing blows were powerful to the absolute peak, terrifying to the extreme!
Boom!
After the devastating strike, the fortress, already reduced to ruins, was left with no more than a hundred thousand Horizontal Heaven soldiers surviving. Before they could recover from their fear, they saw dark, ethereal divine radiances rising before their eyes once more. Traces of blood energy, faintly visible within the overwhelming dark, ethereal divine radiance!
Boom!
"Enemy general, behold my saber!"
Guo Xiamai soared into the air and roared. His saber art was no weaker than his archery. His saber traversed the sky, its terrifying might directly sending the general flying backward!
"Useless!"
Guo Xiamai, greatly disappointed, directly shattered the long saber in his hand. He spread his arms, his battle bow manifesting, and an arrow locked onto the flying general.
At this moment, whether it was the flying general or the soldiers on the ground submerged by the dark, ethereal divine radiance, all were struck with terror. The aura of death had already enveloped them!
"Die for me!"
Guo Xiamai suddenly released his right hand. The arrow shot forth, as if transforming from the Sky-Rending Rhinoceros's horn, shattering layers of void and conjuring ten thousand divine thunders!
With an arrow's passage, the general, who was at the Small Heavenly Venerate realm, dissolved into blood mist. On the ground, the combined might of hundreds of thousands of killing techniques clashed fiercely at the center of the battlefield, layers of gale storms churning up the thick ash and viscous blood.
Three hours later, at the border between the Great Han Divine Dynasty and the Horizontal Heaven Immortal Dynasty, of the four defensive fortresses, one had been completely annihilated by the Great Han Divine Dynasty's Sky-Rending Rhinoceros Legion in just four hours.
