Capítulo 1301: Chapter 446: Steadfast Resolve
The Heavenly Court really went on the offensive, and upon sensing all this, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s face turned somewhat grim.
The western expedition against the Western Continent was clearly targeting him.
He immediately contacted Tian Hao and Zibaiqing, asking them for assistance.
Tian Hao and Zibaiqing started gathering troops, as they too sensed the gravity of the situation. This time, the Heavenly Court was truly enraged, practically unleashing all its forces.
At the same time, they were contacting Haotian God, seeking his presence to deter the Heavenly Court.
However, after they sent the message, Haotian God did not respond, as if he had completely vanished.
“Could Haotian have been killed?” Zibaiqing muttered.
They also knew that Haotian God had been blown up nine times in succession, then completely escaped.
No one knew what his situation was.
Unable to contact Haotian God, they couldn’t help but think more.
Where Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was, all his subordinates were arrayed in formation, ready for a major battle.
But it was evident that Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s subordinates lacked morale, each one looking pale.
Lord of the Clouds, worried in his heart, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, perhaps we should retreat for now. We cannot defeat the Heavenly Court, and even if we could, this time they’re coming with full force, clearly not intending to stop.”
Upon hearing Lord of the Clouds’ words, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi glanced at him and then coldly said, “No need, I don’t believe they truly dare to wage a full-scale war. Even the Purple Emperor has died, and the Heavenly Court couldn’t stop it. Do they think I fear their enraged attack?”
“But…”
“Enough said, with Tian Hao and Zibaiqing’s support, the Heavenly Court won’t dispose of us so easily; they can’t muster the resolve.”
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi continued.
Lord of the Clouds sighed, seeing Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s insistence, he remained silent. If he continued to persuade further, His Majesty the Eastern Emperor might think he was betraying as well, which would be problematic.
“Prepare for battle, hold out for a while, Zibaiqing and the others will be here soon,” Eastern Emperor Tai Yi said calmly.
Lord of the Clouds nodded, his body bursting with astonishing combat intent.
By now, the Heavenly Court’s army had already charged into the Western Continent.
The war drums sounded, thunderclouds roiled, lightning like flood dragons, meandering across the Vault of Heaven, fierce and terrifying.
This was the might of heaven, causing the strong ones on Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s side to feel a chilling dread.
Ziwei Heavenly Court mobilized with full strength, unexpectedly terrifying.
Can our side truly withstand Ziwei Heavenly Court’s attack?
However, when they saw the calm face of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
With His Majesty the Eastern Emperor here, they had a backbone, ensuring battle victory.
Great Emperor Ziwei stepped forward and shouted, “Tai Yi has colluded with Beyond the Domain enemies, betrayed the Three Realms, and harmed our strong ones within the Three Realms. I, Ziwei, in the name of the Supreme of the Three Realms, sentence Tai Yi to death. All his subordinates, if they abandon darkness for light and cease resistance, the Heavenly Court will not hold them accountable. Otherwise, if they stubbornly choose to be traitors alongside Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, they will be killed without mercy.”
The subordinates of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, all strong ones, turned pale.
Even those extremely loyal to Eastern Emperor Tai Yi did not wish to become traitors to the Three Realms.
Betraying one’s homeland is not something everyone can endure.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s expression didn’t change, as he sneered and said, “What does betrayal even mean? It’s just like a good bird seeking refuge on a dying wood, something you can’t comprehend. Compared to the Holy Clan, the Three Realms are weak like ants. You stubborn ones will eventually be extinguished. Better to join the Holy Clan and indeed find eternal stability, with an even more glorious future.”
“Speaking of treason with such ease and pride, you’re truly beyond saving. All Immortal Clans, follow me, let us strike down the traitors.” Great Emperor Ziwei said with disdain, extending his hand forward.
“Strike down the traitors.”
The Heavenly Court’s strong ones shouted, following Great Emperor Ziwei in the charge.
“Brothers, follow me to fight.”
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, with the Eastern Emperor Bell atop his head, also charged forward.
At this moment, Tian Hao and Zibaiqing had not yet arrived, he had to hold off the four Heavenly Emperors. Otherwise, this battle was destined for his defeat.
Lord of the Clouds and others charged as well, clashing head-on with the Heavenly Court’s army.
A great war erupted here, and in an instant, blood splattered everywhere.
Upon first contact alone, many strong ones were killed, both sides suffered losses.
But Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s side was at a disadvantage, unable to stop the Heavenly Court’s army.
It wasn’t that they weren’t strong enough, but that the Heavenly Court was too powerful.
There was even a large group of Supremes.
And besides there were the strong ones brought by Martial King and Emperor Jun, Sun Mother Xihe and Mother Moon Changxi also joined the battle, alongside Marshals like Gui Che.
Senior Commander-in-Chief and his partner besieged Lord of the Clouds, and beside them were Amitabha Buddha and Tathagata Buddha making their moves.
With such a lineup, how could Lord of the Clouds resist?
He glared angrily at Senior Commander-in-Chief and his partner, shouting, “You’ve gone mad, helping the Heavenly Court attack us, you traitors.”
Senior Commander-in-Chief shook his head, smiling bitterly as he said, “You’re the real traitors, we have only betrayed Tai Yi, while you’ve betrayed the entire Three Realms, even your homeland. What is there left to say?”
Lord of the Clouds remained silent, his face looking somewhat unpleasant.
No matter how you look at it, their position lacked righteousness; they had betrayed their homeland. What else could be said?
Their fierce battle broke out, Lord of the Clouds was suppressed, unable to fight back.
The Heavenly Court’s strong ones were too numerous, far exceeding Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s lineage today, even during Tai Yi’s rule over the Three Realms, they had never been so mighty before.
If Zibaiqing and the others didn’t arrive in time, it would be impossible to withstand the Heavenly Court’s strong ones.
They indeed faced some danger today.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was covered in blood, how could he withstand the attacks from four Heavenly Emperors?
Even the Eastern Emperor Bell showed cracks; continuing like this, it would surely be broken.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi grew somewhat anxious, shouting, “Are you not coming out? Do you want to be defeated one by one?”
Once he’s killed, even if Tian Hao and their two forces combined, it’s destined that they couldn’t resist the Heavenly Court’s momentum.
Even with Haotian God stationed, it would only barely maintain a balance, with no advantage left.
Thus, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi didn’t worry about them not coming to aid.
If he could think of it, so could the others.
Indeed, as soon as Eastern Emperor Tai Yi finished speaking, two loud roars echoed; Zibaiqing and the others had arrived.
Behind Zibaiqing and Tian Hao was their vast army.
Seeing this scene, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi laughed aloud.
He felt that he would not die, with the arrival of reinforcements, unless the Heavenly Court wanted mutual destruction, there was only the retreat remaining.
The Heavenly Court dared not do this, for they still had Haotian God, and if mutual destruction were pursued, the Heavenly Court could no longer suppress Haotian God, the Creation Realm powerhouse.
Unfortunately, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi underestimated the Heavenly Court’s resolve.
Sun Wukong, Ancestral Dragon, Yang Jian, and Azure Dragon, led a part of the Heavenly Court’s strong ones, charging towards Tian Hao.
Meanwhile, Eastern King also broke away from the battle group, with part of the Heavenly Court’s strong ones following him, charging towards Tian Hao.
Meanwhile, Martial King, Great Emperor Ziwei, and Emperor Jun continued their siege on Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
