Chapter 718 - 718 744
Chapter 718: 744 Chapter 718: 744 Upper Realm, East Divine State, Extreme Southern Territory.
This region, once prosperous and thriving, has suffered the devastation of war during this period.
The reason is the Immortal Dynasty established by Li Cheng.
After entering the Upper Realm, Li Cheng received assistance from the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty and began to establish his own Immortal Dynasty, which he founded in the Extreme Southern Territory not long ago.
There is a limit to the fortune of the Upper Realm.
For Li Cheng to successfully establish his Immortal Dynasty, he would inevitably encroach upon the interests of other powers.
Those forces naturally began to prevent Li Cheng from establishing his Immortal Dynasty.
...
Li Cheng, too, was stubborn and became infuriated in an instant when these forces obstructed him.
This anger was significant.
Li Cheng immediately declared his intention to establish an Immortal Dynasty that would monopolize the entire East Divine State’s fortune.
This declaration stirred up trouble throughout the entire East Divine State.
Innumerable forces came to obstruct the establishment of Li Cheng’s Immortal Dynasty.
The battle affected the whole Extreme Southern Territory and even spread throughout the entire East Divine State.
A minor resistance conflict instantly escalated into a struggle over the Dao.
Luckily, with the shelter of the Celestial Tang Dynasty, Li Cheng was able to contend against those major forces; otherwise, there was a real possibility he may no longer exist.
Extreme Southern Territory, Wansheng Heavenly City.
This was the main stronghold of Li Cheng’s forces.
Originally, this city belonged to another power, but after being occupied by Li Cheng, it was set up as his main base.
At this very moment, within the City Lord’s Mansion.
A large group of people led by Li Cheng was gathered, discussing matters.
“Your Majesty, please tell us what to do. Currently, forces from every direction are looking to exterminate us, and even with the support of Great Tang, we are barely able to hold on…”
“The situation is dire. I suggest we might retreat for now, to avoid their sharp edge…”
“Since we’re retreating anyway, perhaps we could try to ask for peace subtly first…”
“And if we’re asking for peace subtly, why not just disband and surrender altogether…”
The discussions among the group became more and more outrageous.
Li Cheng, seated at the head, had a dark expression on his face.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t say much since it was his own stubbornness that contributed to their current predicament.
It was natural for morale to be unstable at this point.
Li Cheng had no choice; as the leader, he had to stabilize his people’s spirits.
After thinking it over, Li Cheng was about to speak.
But before he could say anything,
Whoosh…
Several figures approached rapidly from afar.
Weren’t those figures Ye Luo and others?
“Big Senior Brother, and all my Senior Brothers and Sisters,”
Li Cheng stood up hurriedly to greet them.
During this battle, his Senior Brothers and Sisters had been of great help.
Especially Ye Luo, who alone could face dozens of Immortal Emperors like a monster.
“Junior Brother, we must retreat quickly; take your subordinates and flee. This place is very dangerous,”
Ye Luo had no intention of making small talk and urged repeatedly.
While speaking, he also gave Zhang Han and Dantai Luo Xue a signal with his eyes.
Zhang Han and Dantai Luo Xue understood the signal and began to set up defensive measures throughout Wansheng Heavenly City, prepared to delay the advancing enemy.
“Big Senior Brother, what’s going on?”
Li Cheng was stunned.
Although they had been at a continuous disadvantage, it hadn’t reached the point where they needed to flee immediately.
“It’s a long story… In short, Junior Brother, it’s better for you to retreat quickly…”
Ye Luo seemed a bit embarrassed.
He casually remarked.
Then he turned to soar into the sky to help set up the defenses.
Li Cheng, still confused on the ground,
could only hope to understand by turning his gaze toward his Third Senior Brother, Su Qianyuan.
“Junior Brother, you can think of it this way, the people heading towards your Wansheng Heavenly City now are not just your enemies anymore.”
Su Qianyuan shook his head, speaking somewhat helplessly.
“Third Senior Brother, what do you mean by that?”
Li Cheng was still completely baffled.
“Our Eldest Senior Brother has too many enemies; now that they know you are his sect brother, all those enemies have become yours too. And each of these enemies is at least an Immortal Emperor, with Ancestral Artifacts in tow. The situation is no longer under our control.”
Su Qianyuan spread his hands, indicating there was nothing he could do.
Li Cheng: “?”
Had his game difficulty just upgraded from ‘Hard’ to ‘Hell’ mode?
Was it now completely unplayable?
“Oh, Junior Brother, brace yourself. Eldest Senior Brother has offended too many people. I estimate that there’s another group from outside the East Divine State rushing over, just not here yet.”
Divine Doctor Hua stepped forward and added a sentence.
Li Cheng almost went mad upon hearing this.
It was truly a hopeless situation now, wasn’t it?
It was already troublesome enough.
And now…
Now it was ‘game over’ for sure.
“Your Majesty, we, we truly cannot win this fight. With one Ancestral Artifact in play, unless Great Tang sends reinforcements, we won’t be able to hold out.”
A subordinate gulped and said with difficulty.
“Great Tang has been restrained and cannot move; we have no more support…”
Another subordinate spoke up in despair.
“Stop talking about that, we haven’t lost yet. But Junior Brother, you should listen to Eldest Senior Brother and retreat. Wansheng Heavenly City might really be indefensible now.”
Su Qianyuan patted Li Cheng’s shoulder and said.
Thump thump thump…
Li Cheng stumbled backward several steps and slumped into a chair.
He could never have imagined things reaching this point.
It went from a more or less evenly matched situation to being completely one-sided in an instant?
He felt like he had activated a mission that was nearly impossible to complete.
Li Cheng was furious inside.
Since it couldn’t be completed anyway, and his Fortuitous Immortal Dynasty was certain to be scattered,
he might as well just go all out and declare war on the entire Upper Realm. Dead either way,
might as well go out with a bang.
Li Cheng gritted his teeth, ready to issue such an order.
He had just stood up.
Boom…
Above the Firmament, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket fiercely crashed down.
Just as the lightning was about to strike Wansheng Heavenly City,
a glow instantly formed an Array, blocking the lightning.
The lightning touched the Array, causing it to tremble, and then dissipated.
In that moment, everyone’s gaze turned skyward.
Above, dark storm clouds rolled in, quickly enveloping most of the Firmament.
Above the Firmament, one powerful figure after another stepped forward, each one possessing the might of an Immortal Emperor.
At a glance, there were dozens of Immortal Emperors.
In the midst of these Immortal Emperors, there was a treasure box that faintly exuded an aura surpassing that of Immortal Emperors.
“Taiyi Sword Honor, come out and face your death!”
Those dozens of Immortal Emperors shouted in unison.
Endless Mana converged into waves of sound that pressed down towards Wansheng Heavenly City.
Fortunately, Zhang Han had already set up a Formation.
With the enhancement from Dantai Luo Xue’s chessboard,
these sound waves were all neutralized.
Otherwise, under these sound waves, Wansheng Heavenly City would have become ruins…
