“Long live the Prince for fighting for the Prince! Long live the Crown Prince!”
“After enduring for hundreds of years, it’s time to use the blood of the Chi family to wash the shame off of us, war, though death, no regrets.”
More and more old Saint Ming troops converged from all directions in Saint Ming City, soon exceeding a million people, with a rainbow-like momentum, killing sounds that shook the sky, following the “Saint Ming” war flag, and exploding into fierce battles with the five imperial armies.
After the Dragon Protector Pavilion appeared, it broke through the Sun and Moon Sect with strong means, and at once, the morale of the old troops of Saint Ming was so high that the earth was collapsing inch by inch.
In Sacred Ming City, those cultivators who did not participate in the battle were also moved and felt shocked.
“The Dragon Protector Pavilion, the legendary Dragon Protector Pavilion, even has a terrifying powerhouse at the peak of Saint King, today, the Heavenly King of the Sky is afraid that he has met his match.”
“Could it be that Zhang Ruochen is really going to rise up today, capture Saint Ming City, and build the Saint Ming Central Empire again?”
……
Some people wanted to spread the news out, but they realised that Sacred Ming City was all enveloped by a strange power, and no news could be spread out.
Twelve unfamiliar stars appeared in the sky above Sacred Ming City.
These stars, arranged in a circular pattern, just happened to encompass the tens of thousands of miles of the city within.
Those were twelve Buddha beads refined by the Buddha Emperor, and Zhang Ruochen had handed them over to the Vice Pavilion Master, who personally harnessed them with his powerful Sacred Dao cultivation, allowing him to seal the entire Sacred Brightness City.
On all sides of the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, the great battle entered into white heat, there were even over two hundred Saints killing each other, it could be called a truly overwhelming Holy War, if it was outside the city without defensive formations, it would have long since been fought to the point that the heavens would fall apart, and ten thousand miles of terracotta would be left to fall.
The imperial court could be said to be full of experts, with all the saints from the government, the Ministry of War, and the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion all striking out, and occupying a great advantage in terms of the number of saints.
However, on the Sacred Ming side, there was a large number of True Saints and Supreme Saints, each one of them a powerhouse that swept the party.
Princess Bai Li, who was an ancient relic and had experienced the baptism of the opening of the heavens, wielded the Yin Kong Pagoda and fought against the heavily injured Red Dragon Army Lord.
The Red Dragon Army Master was able to block Granny Baisu’s attack and not die, his cultivation was naturally incomparably deep.
“Following Zhang Ruochen will only lead to death, why don’t you submit to this Army Lord and become his mount?”The Red Dragon Army Lord roared coldly.
“Daring to say such words to this Princess, today, I will definitely let you die without a whole body.”
An intimidating cold light flowed from Princess Baili’s eyes as she went all out to inject her holy qi into the Yin Kong Tower, and instantly, all seventy-two tower doors opened.
The Yin Kong Pagoda spun and flew up as it transformed into a metal mountain peak, suppressing it to the top of the Red Dragon Army Lord’s head.
The Yin Kong Pagoda was ranked second in the Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifact Spectrum, which was enough to fight against some weaker Ten Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifacts.
“Boom.”
The Red Dragon Army Lord failed to block the Yin Kong Pagoda, and his holy body split apart. The flesh and blood on his body crumbled, leaving only a single crystal-clear holy bone, dead beyond repair.
Forcibly using the half-complete power of the Yin Kong Pagoda, Princess Baili consumed a large portion of the Saint Qi in her body after she struck this blow, her face turning pale as she entered a period of weakness.
“Legend has it that only Saint Kings can still invoke the consummate power of a Ten Thousand Lines Sacred Artifact at will, and it’s true. The Yin Kong Pagoda is only comparable to a Ten Thousand Lines Saint Artifact, and I’ve only invoked a half-complete power, so I’m even a bit unable to support myself after striking a blow.”
Princess Baili hurriedly took an elixir that restored her Saint Qi, and then, she killed in the direction of the Sun and Moon Sect again, following closely behind the Sacred Brightness Battle Flag.
Of course, she didn’t dare to use the half-complete power of the Yin Kong Tower again, and only activated the three thousand inscriptions in the tower to continue fighting and attacking.
“Lord Army Master died in battle!”
“The Red Dragon Army Lord was killed by the Sacred Brightness Adversary, a legend in the army unexpectedly fell and turned into white bones.”
The battle death of the Lord of the Red Dragon Army caused the imperial army to panic, all of them feeling fear.
The Crow Dragon Army Lord stood out to stabilise the army and roared, “Activate the Half-Saint grade warships and refining warriors to eliminate the Sacred Ming rebels.”
From all the major city domains of Sacred Ming City, a battleship flew up.
The battleships, cast from Xuan iron, had a powerful formation rotating around them, projecting a huge shadow on the ground.
That was the army’s forbidden weapon, the “Half Saint Battleship”, not only did it have a strong defence, but it could also kill Half Saints.
If there was only one Half-Saint class warship, naturally, it was not something to be feared, but when there were thousands of Half-Saint class warships moving in at the same time, it was a shocking and earth-shattering image.
“Heavens, it’s another Demi-Saint class warship, there are actually thousands of them in Sacred Ming City.”
“The imperial court must have hidden all of these Half-Saint level warships underground, as a hidden means, specifically to use against us.”
……
For the old Sacred Ming division, Half-Saint level warships were their nightmare.
Once a Half Saint level battleship appeared, it also meant that, once again, many people would have their families broken. Normally, the appearance of ten Half-Saint class warships was a large-scale operation, but now that thousands of Half-Saint class warships were heading over, it was conceivable that many cultivators would be crushed.
At this moment, the might of the Ministry of War was completely exposed.
“Kill, kill all the Saintly Ming rebels, establish a world-class merit, and be crowned and knighted.”
The Fire God Grand Formations on over a thousand Half-Saint level warships were all activated under the urging of Spirit Crystals and Saint Stones, striking out a fireball a hundred feet in diameter that crashed down to the earth.
“Rumble.”
With every fireball that fell, a large swathe of the Saint Ming’s old ministry was subdued and turned into ashes.
A few moments later, the outside of the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion was turned into a sea of fire, and it was unknown with how many of the Saint Ming’s old ministries fell and were killed by the Demi-Saint level battleships.
Immediately after that, in each of the Demi-Saint level battleships, an iron ball was dropped.
Every iron ball that landed on the ground transformed into a three-metre tall steel warrior that besieged the Saint Ming Old Ministry from the rear.
This was another forbidden weapon of the army, the Weapon Refining Warrior.
Weapon Refining Warriors possessed an attack power comparable to that of Fish Dragon Realm cultivators, tens of thousands of Weapon Refining Warriors appeared at the same time, combining with the court’s Soldier Saints and the Half-Saint class battleships in the sky, it was simply like a legion of death gods rushing out from hell, crazily reaping the lives of the Sacred Ming Old Ministry’s army.
Moreover, the number of Refiner Warriors was increasing rapidly as iron balls were continuously being dropped from the half-saint level warships.
The number of Alchemy Warrior legions quickly broke one hundred thousand.
The appearance of the semi-saint level battleships and the refiner warriors changed the battle situation, causing the Saint Ming army to fall into a dangerous situation of being attacked from the back, with the possibility of being wiped out completely.
“The First Central Empire’s court is the most powerful force in the Kunlun Realm, this sentence is indeed true. The difference between those other ancient sects, ancient clans, and medieval lineages, compared to the power of the imperial court, is really too great.”
The cultivators in Sacred Brightness City, all of whom were stunned by the semi-saint level warships and refining warriors, felt that Zhang Ruochen shouldn’t have gone to attack the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, and that he would most likely lose his troops today.
The Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion was able to sit in Sacred Ming City and suppress the old Sacred Ming division for hundreds of years, so it naturally possessed considerable strength, so how could it be so easy to attack it?
At this moment, a member of the Dragon Protector Pavilion struck out, striking a Ten Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifact, stirring up the consummate power of a Ten Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifact.
“Boom.”
With just a single strike, over a hundred Half-Saint level battleships were damaged and even melted into iron, as if they were a mountain of steel and iron, falling down from the dome of the sky.
Immediately after that, the consummate power of the Ten Thousand Lines Saint Artifact exploded out once again, blasting down another large swathe of Half-Saint level warships.
There was a sweeping aura on that Dragon Protector Pavilion member’s body, and alone, he seemed to be able to exterminate a legion of Half-Saint level battleships.
“To use a Ten Thousand Lines Saint Weapon and strike two successive Perfection Powers, one would need to be at least at the peak of Supreme Saint cultivation to be able to do so. Another terrifying figure has unexpectedly emerged from the old Saint Ming division.”
Peak Supreme Saint represented the strongest power under Saint Kings, and such a figure was also quite terrifyingly intimidating, standing there with a Ten Thousand Ripple Saint Weapon in hand would be able to make even the Soldier Saints tremble in fear.
“With the fastest possible degree, destroy these broken pieces of copper and iron.”
More than a dozen more members of the Dragon Protector Pavilion struck out, some striking out Saint Arts, some striking out Thousand Stripe Saint Weapons, attacking the Half-Saint level battleships flying in the sky.
“Rumble.”
In just a quarter of an hour, all of the thousands of Demi-Saint level battleships were blasted down, like thousands of steel mountains across the city, all of them becoming broken and tattered.
The court’s soldiers stood amidst the flames of battle, dumbstruck and even more terrified inside.
The members of the Dragon Protector Pavilion, standing in a row, pushed out horizontally, hitting more than 100,000 refining warriors and throwing them in all directions, some being melted and some being broken apart.
Too fierce, too domineering, the Palace Protector Pavilion only had dozens of people, but they were invincible, attacking and winning every battle.
Zhang Ruochen and the others killed their way into the Sun Moon Sect, but they encountered obstacles.
The Palace Protector Ancient Formation was indeed shattered at one corner, however, ninety-nine percent of it was still intact and could move with attacking power, capable of exterminating Saint realm characters.
In the centre area of the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, the power of the Palace Protector Ancient Formation was even more powerful, enough to crush Saint Kings.
At this moment, just in the outer region of the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, Yan Kaixuan was struck by a formation attack, his chest pierced through, suffering a heavy blow.
Even a True Saint couldn’t block it, so one could imagine what would happen to those other cultivators who suffered an attack from the Palace Protector Ancient Formation.
Zhang Ruochen was quite decisive and said, “Go to the Shrine of All Emperors and use the Great Sage Inscriptions left behind by the successive Ming Emperors to fight against the Palace Protector Ancient Formation.”
The Shrine of the Emperors, a forbidden place for the Imperial Zhang Clan, where successive generations of Ming Emperors would inscribe Great Sage Inscriptions, with the power of the Emperors, even if Chi Yao, who was not a god before she became a god, would not be able to break in, much less destroy the place.
Of course, as the Holy Brightness Crown Prince, Zhang Ruochen naturally knew how to enter the Shrine of the Emperors and how to activate the Great Saint Inscription.
The only way to lock in the victory was to break into the Shrine of the Emperors.
Zhang Ruochen handed the Sacred Brightness Battle Flag to the Devil Ape, and then, summoning the Buddha Emperor’s Sharpness, he held it in the palm of his hand, stirring up the origin power within the Sharpness to resist the Palace Protector Ancient Formation, and striding forward to kill.
