Chapter 1009
The million-strong army of the Ancient Heaven was attacking!
Countless cultivators in the Arena of the Gods looked at the densely packed Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals in the distant sky, their faces pale.
Many of the Starry Sky Giants were not in the arena. Without a leader, even though there were millions of cultivators in the arena, they were in chaos!
"Activate the array in the arena. We can't let them get close!"
At this critical moment, the Elders of the major forces hurriedly organized their forces.
They knew very well that if the Heavenly Courts were to stab them into the arena like a sharp knife, the cultivators would be in a state of disunity due to their fear. They would only flee in panic and would definitely suffer a complete defeat!
Therefore, they had to stop the army of the Celestial Court in Gods Town, and then quickly organize their forces. With their advantage in numbers, they might not lose!
Buzz —
The array in the arena quickly lit up. The array here was originally used to prevent the experts from making too much noise during the competition. No one expected it to come in handy at this time.
When layers of restrictive light rose around the arena, the cultivators inside calmed down a little and began to mobilize their forces, ready to fight a protracted battle with the army of the Celestial Court.
Many of the Starry Sky Giants were not here, and they did not know how many experts of the Ancient Heaven had come. No Elders of the forces dared to take the initiative to attack.
The arena was safe for the time being, but the Divine Dao cultivators in the town suffered a calamity because of this.
The army of the Ancient Heaven had landed in the sky above Gods Town. Under Tang Ning's instructions, they surged to every part of Gods Town like a tidal wave.
In the face of the well-trained Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals, the cultivators in Gods Town were scattered and could only flee in panic.
Most of the people were killed immediately by the attack of the Heavenly Soldiers. A few people escaped to the outside of the arena, only to find that the arena had been isolated by the formation. In the end, they were killed by the Heavenly Soldiers in despair.
Tang Ning saw that many Deity Dao forces were holed up in the arena, but for some reason, he did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he ordered the Heavenly Soldiers to split into eight groups and sweep through Deity Town. Finally, they surrounded the arena.
Because of the arrival of the Ancient Heaven's army, the entire Deity Town was in flames of war, and blood flowed like a river. The deities were no longer deities, but mere grass!
The Divine Realm had fallen into chaos. Every single deity was fleeing from the Celestial Court's army in a panic. However, at a place near the Council Tower, there were three figures running in the opposite direction.
"Who are you?"
Many Heavenly Soldiers noticed the three figures coming in a straight line and immediately stopped them.
"How dare you! We're on the same side. Quickly inform Heavenly Official Yuan that Qiong Qi has something important to discuss with him! "
The leader, Qiong Qi, slapped the Heavenly Soldier and threw out a token.
When the Heavenly Soldiers saw the token, their expressions turned solemn and they did not dare to say anything else. Some of them stayed behind to watch over the three, while the one who had been slapped hurriedly ran in the direction of the Council Tower.
At present, Chief Heavenly Official Yuan Buhuo and Heavenly Generals Tang Ning were sitting in the Council Tower, commanding the entire battlefield.
Inside the Council Tower, Yuan Buhuo received the news from the Heavenly Soldiers immediately. He frowned and muttered to himself.
"Qiong Qi has come to look for the Old Man at this time. Could it be that Your Holiness has some instructions for me?"
At this thought, he left the Heavenly Generals behind and hurriedly left the Council Tower.
Tang Ning was standing at the top of the tower, overlooking the entire situation. His gaze was sometimes on the arena, and sometimes on the distant end of the Divine Tree Forest. He did not care about Yuan Buhuo's departure.
Among the Heavenly Generals, apart from those who were fighting outside, only Hai Dongqing noticed Yuan Buhuo's departure. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he quietly left behind him.
Yuan Buhuo soon arrived at the streets of the town and met up with Qiong Qi and the other two.
"What's going on? Does Your Holiness have any other instructions? "Yuan Buhuo asked after dismissing the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers.
"Friend Yuan, there's an accident in the plan!"
Qiong Qi's face was gloomy as he told him about the many starry sky leaders rushing to the Heavenly Law Domain.
"What? The leaders of the Divine Realm aren't in the arena? The Old Man said he didn't notice anything! "
Hearing this, Yuan Buhuo's face turned livid.
The army of the Ancient Heaven could have attacked the arena after breaking into the Divine Realm, but Tang Ning sensed something odd in the arena. It seemed that the leaders of the Divine Realm weren't there. Suspecting that it was a trap, he ordered the Heavenly Soldiers to wipe out the forces in Shenming Town.
As the representative of the Pure Spirit Kingdom in the Ancient Heaven, his task was to help the Ancient Heaven contain the forces of the Divine Realm. What Tang Ning did was exactly what he wanted, so he didn't say anything.
Tens of millions of Cultivation practitioners gathered in the arena, so it was not difficult for the highly achieved swordsmen to conceal their energy. As such, he didn't think too much about it. However, after hearing what Qiong Qi said, he realized that the powerhouses of the starry sky were not in the arena at all.
This was indeed a deviation from their original plan.
"How did Gu Chen know about Jing Jiu's existence? Damn it! "
Yuan Buhuo grew anxious. As a core member of the Devil Realm, he was well aware of Your Holiness's plan.
According to the plan, Your Holiness intended to prove his Dao and become the Emperor in the Sealed Realm of the Heavenly Law and take away the Dao Fruit of Source.
This plan was not without risks. After all, nobody had successfully entered the Dao Querying State since the distant ancient times.
Though the Divine Realm was collapsing, there was no sign of someone proving his Dao and becoming the Emperor. It meant that Your Holiness hadn't succeeded yet, and he needed more time.
Under the circumstances, the powerhouses of the starry sky would most likely ruin their plan if they went there.
"Friend Yuan, we can't interfere with the situation in the Sealed Realm of the Heavenly Law right now. All we can do is capture that detestable Gu Chen. I must capture that brat, only then can I report back to His Honor. So, please send me some men! "
Qiong Qi stated his purpose of coming here while gritting his teeth.
Yuan Buhuo furrowed his eyebrows. Gu Chen deserved to die indeed, but this was not the most important thing at the moment. Qiong Qi's action was more to seek revenge against him.
"Friend Yuan, if we don't capture Gu Chen, God knows if he has other plans. Please send me some men as soon as possible!"
Qiong Qi urged Yuan Buhuo when he saw that Yuan Buhuo didn't respond.
Yuan Buhuo thought that Your Holiness attached great importance to Gu Chen, so it would be better to capture him. As Yuan Buhuo was about to reply, a burst of laughter came from the alley nearby.
"Heavenly Official Yuan, you don't have to capture him. I'll do it myself!"
From the shadow of the alley, Gu Chen walked out slowly, a mocking expression on his face.
"Why are you here?"
Yuan Buhuo's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately looked at Qiong Qi.
It seemed that the other party had followed Qiong Qi all the way here!
"You followed me?"
Qiong Qi was shocked and angry. When he saw that Gu Chen didn't have any companions with him, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"There's a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it. There's no door to hell, but you insist on breaking through!"
He rushed toward Gu Chen and punched out, a terrifying blood Qi rippling!
The physical strength of Qiong Qi's clan was amazing. After he reached the Celestial Prime Realm, he had never been at a disadvantage in close combat.
