The defeat in this battle was entirely self-inflicted. The elites of the Heavenly Grief Hall and Heaven Mending Pavilion perished, and the remaining thirty-five factions all surrendered to the Great Han Holy Court.
This was a gift package, with one battle clearing out numerous forces on the southern border of the Immortal Realm, leaving only the Dragon Nether Holy Court north of the Great Han Holy Court.
"Heavenly King Deng!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
Wang Zhongsi, looking in the direction of the Dragon Nether Holy Court army's escape, said softly, "You shall lead the Second Army of the Qilin Legion to pursue the fleeing army of Immortal Emperor Cheng Zhou, leaving none alive!"
"As you command!"
"Second Army, heed my order! Board the Immortal Treasure Warships and follow me in pursuit!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Watching the departing Second Army, Wang Zhongsi turned to the several heroes behind him and said, "The Third Army will remain on Sanggan Island. When the court's main army arrives, quickly take over the territories controlled by the thirty-six factions of the Heaven Mending Pavilion!"
"Where are the generals of the First Army!"
"Here!"
The three generals of the First Army, Yu Chi Gong, Wei Wen Tong, and Meng Jue Hai, stepped forward, their blood energy soaring, their killing intent piercing the clouds.
"Form ranks and follow this marshal directly to the enemy's stronghold!"
"Yes!"
...
"General, the Great Han Qilin Legion must have been annihilated by Immortal Emperor De Yu, right!"
On the Boundary Sea, on an unnamed island, the defeated Immortal Emperor Cheng Zhou, leading less than a million strong Dragon Nether army, temporarily stationed on this island to rest his troops.
"That is an Immortal Treasure bestowed by the Void Immortal Emperor, containing a trace of the Immortal Emperor's killing power. Immortal Emperor De Yu sacrificed himself to activate the Immortal Treasure, and the Great Han Qilin Legion, along with the thirty-six factions including the Heaven Mending Pavilion, must have turned to dust!"
Immortal Emperor Cheng Zhou drank immortal tea, restoring his depleted immortal energy, with a smug expression, showing no sadness for the fallen Immortal Emperor De Yu.
"All under heaven is the King's land!"
"Where can you escape to!"
"By order of the Holy Emperor, kill!"
Boom!
Instantly, the entire unnamed island resounded with the sounds of battle. The Second Army of the Qilin Legion landed on the island in an instant. Soldiers, their blood still not dry, surged with morale. A victorious army, for the Holy Emperor, was destined to suppress all dissent. Their roars shook the Dragon Nether Holy Court army!
"Damn it!"
Immortal Emperor Cheng Zhou was instantly alarmed. Even the Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure imbued with imperial might had failed to kill them. At this moment, the Dragon Nether Holy Court army, which had barely caught its breath, was in utter panic.
"Fight!"
Heavenly King Deng, wielding his long spear, a being of the Immortal King realm, unleashed top-tier Immortal Emperor combat power. A single word of "fight" shattered a large number of enemy forces!
"Kill!"
Gao Xianzhi held the army banner and commanded the three armies!
"Kill, this old Cheng hasn't killed enough! Let's try my battle axe!"
Cheng Yaojin, wielding an Immortal Treasure battle axe, led a large army into the fray!
"Disobeying the Holy Emperor's decree is a capital offense!"
"Annihilate!"
The Second Army of the Qilin Legion erupted with earth-shattering roars. The Holy Emperor's decree was inviolable. The edges of the island were engulfed in Qilin divine fire, pushing towards the center. With each roar, four Qilin divine beasts materialized, suppressing the four directions and sealing off the escape routes for the Dragon Nether Holy Court army!
Boom!
With a wave of Gao Xianzhi's army banner, the four Qilin divine beasts spat out four arrows, glowing like the Golden Crow. The soldiers of the Second Army forcefully unleashed their power, and the four arrows shot into the enemy ranks.
Instantly, screams arose from the center of the island. Numerous beings were simply unable to withstand the army's condensed formation and killing power. Even before the arrows arrived, countless bodies were incinerated by the Qilin divine fire!
There was no trace of blood or bone, as if these beings had never existed in the territory of the Immortal Realm!
Boom!
"Let me clean my ears!"
Cheng Yaojin led his army. With the enhancement of the military formation, he was able to surpass two major realms, unleashing Immortal King combat power. The Great Han's various legions, with the upgrade of their barracks, had their armor and weapons imbued with two-thirds of the defensive and offensive power of ordinary Immortal Treasures.
Cheng Yaojin's army, numbering about a hundred thousand, combined with the Qilin's enhancement, unleashed a formidable power!
"An Immortal King, huh? Let this old Cheng taste the blood of an Immortal King and see what's different!" Infused with countless killing intents, his battle axe flashed. In an instant, a powerful Immortal King general of the Dragon Nether Holy Court had all his bones shattered!
Boom!
After a powerful assault by the Second Army of the Qilin Legion, the formation dispersed, and the armies of both sides clashed fiercely!
A terrifying blood-red light enveloped this pastoral paradise. The weak, non-humanoid races living on the island were all shaken to death!
At this moment, about eight "death tsunamis" formed, raging through the sea. Some warships could not withstand the impact and exploded.
"Great Han Immortal Dynasty, you have ruined my Holy Court's plans, die!"
At this moment, Immortal Emperor Cheng Zhou could no longer remain calm. Given the current situation, even if he returned to the Holy Court alone, he would be executed!
His mission was not completed, and how could the Dragon Nether Holy Emperor spare his life!
"Kill!"
Five Immortal King generals, along with Immortal Emperor Cheng Zhou, attacked. One Immortal Emperor and five Immortal Kings jointly suppressed Heavenly King Deng. Several Immortal Treasures tore through the void, and pills were swallowed. At this moment, they were burning their lifespan, their blood energy, and their essence blood, having no intention of surviving. They all attacked Heavenly King Deng with utter disregard for losses!
"I am Heavenly King Deng!"
Heavenly King Deng roared. In his past life, he was someone who dared to challenge Li Cunxiao. Although he couldn't win, he possessed a strong and proud spirit. His spear shot out, shattering countless attacks. The splashing light rendered the void as if it were the peak of the Nine Heavens, a space where ten thousand stars rotated!
"No..."
The five Immortal Kings, facing the brunt of the attack, could not withstand Heavenly King Deng's spear energy. As the spear energy flashed, they all perished in the void!
"Leave it to this old Cheng!"
On the other side, Cheng Yaojin's body was bathed in Immortal King blood. It was hard to imagine how such a powerful body could withstand the baptism of Immortal King blood. His two battle axes flew, and the soldiers behind him formed a military formation, continuously empowering Cheng Yaojin. The axe light in the void was immense, and another Immortal King fell!
"Die!"
With the demise of the five Immortal Kings, Heavenly King Deng, facing Immortal Emperor Cheng Zhou, attacked again, unleashing an assault akin to that of a quasi-Emperor!
"Hmph!"
Immortal Emperor Cheng Zhou did not even look at the fallen Immortal King generals. His sword light swept out, and the killing intent in his eyes plunged the not-so-cold island into a freezing point!
The firmament collapsed!
Perhaps countless beings had been numb from killing, and no sound was heard. Immortal Emperor Cheng Zhou, the Immortal Emperor strongman deeply favored by the Dragon Nether Holy Emperor, carrying the Dragon Nether Holy Emperor's decree and the ambition to conquer the world, disappeared into the fragmented, collapsing space.
"Defying the Imperial Mandate!"
