Chapter 1246

Nanqing Starfield, at the edge of the world.

The Wall of Primal Chaos was like a boundless Great Wall, connecting heaven and earth, towering and lofty.

For countless years, there was only one Chaos Transit Window that led to the mysterious and unknown Outer Realm.

Not long ago, the existence of such a transit window was a secret that very few people knew about. At the edge of the Nanqing Starfield, there had never been any signs of human habitation.

However, in just two months, this place had changed a lot.

Close to the transit window, 355 tall towers stood in the air, connected with each other by chains, vaguely forming a large formation that completely blocked the transit window.

There were soldiers standing guard at the top of the tower all day long. The patrolling soldiers patrolled the area day and night, turning this place into an impenetrable martial law zone.

Outside the 355 towers, there were densely packed immortal palaces, shrines, and spaceships, which were the allied forces of the Immortal and Divine Realms. At a glance, the number of cultivators had already exceeded hundreds of millions.

In the sky above countless military camps, banners were fluttering, revealing the forces each represented.

Kunlun, Celestial Court, Ascension Sect, Underworld, Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Star Ocean Sand Tribe …

Countless forces from the Ninth Realm's 67 Starfields gathered here, including the Western Buddhist Army and the Demon Realm cultivators who had just arrived!

A storm was brewing, and the entire camp was filled with a tense and somber atmosphere. Even the exotic beasts in charge of transporting the rations were restless.

The deadline of two months had arrived, and according to the intelligence, the Xing County Army could appear at any time!

This made the allied forces of the Ninth Realm extremely vigilant. This was a battle of life and death!

Behind them was their hometown, their loved ones, and there was absolutely no possibility of retreat.

This was different from the previous internal strife between the major forces. All the cultivators were very clear that if they couldn't stop the attack of the Outer Realm Army, no creatures in the Ninth Realm could survive!

At this moment, in the headquarters of the Ninth Realm's allied forces, inside the Ninefold Palace of the Celestial Court, all the commanders of the troops were silent, and their faces were indescribably depressed.

Half a day ago, the reinforcements from the Western Paradise finally arrived on the battlefield. All the forces of the Immortal and Divine Realms welcomed them with joy, but they received unexpected bad news.

Celestial Emperor Gu Chen disappeared in the process of breaking through in seclusion!

His whereabouts were still unknown!

When the news came out from the mouths of Hai Dongqing and the others, it almost caused a dispute and even a conflict on the spot.

The Coalition Army of the Ninth Realm could reach such a large scale today because of one person. Now that this person had disappeared, the panic and shock brought about by this could be imagined.

The leaders of the various factions accused Hai Dongqing and the others of failing to protect the Dharma. The Celestial Court was also furious. The alliance that had just been established was about to crack.

Fortunately, in front of the great enemy, under the leadership of the new emperors, the conflict finally calmed down.

Taoist Priest Feng Zhen, Hai Dongqing, as well as Li Shunyu, Tang Ning, Zuo Chunqiu, and the Ghost Emperor, who had obtained great fortunes in the Immortal World Relic and had broken through to the Emperor Realm, stopped the meaningless quarrel and issued a strict order on the spot.

Seal the news of Celestial Thearch's disappearance!

The leaders of the various factions agreed to this decision on the spot. Everyone knew that once the news of Celestial Thearch's disappearance was spread, the morale of the army would be greatly shaken.

Originally, the coalition army gathered on the battlefield, waiting for Celestial Thearch to return and issue orders. Now that Celestial Thearch was gone, they could only immediately start a discussion to prepare for the upcoming war.

This meeting became very gloomy because of Celestial Thearch's disappearance. The leaders of the various factions did not smile from the beginning to the end.

"I believe that His Majesty Celestial Thearch is still alive. He would never abandon us and leave!"

"Everyone, be confident. What we need to do is to resist the attack of the Xing Commandery army as much as possible. We can't let the war spread to our homeland!"

Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, Tang Ning encouraged the morale.

Everyone nodded, but some of them clearly showed uneasiness in their eyes.

No one believed that Celestial Thearch's disappearance was due to fear of war, but in their hearts, they were inclined to a more pessimistic possibility.

The eminent monks of the Tempest Temple, Hai Dongqing, and the others explained the course of events clearly. On the day when the Purgatory of Soul Dao collapsed, there was no sign of an emperor, and Celestial Thearch mysteriously disappeared.

The absence of a sign meant that Celestial Thearch's breakthrough must have failed, and the price of failure was his death!

"Heavenly General Jiang, have all the restrictions on the transit window been set up?"

Tang Ning tried to cheer everyone up and temporarily forget about the uneasiness caused by Celestial Thearch's disappearance, so he asked about the situation of the war preparations.

"With the combined power of all the artificers and formation masters of the Ninth Realm, the effect is amazing. In just two months, the passage has become an impenetrable fortress. Even if the enemy's army is generally the strength of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Celestial Court, it is enough to kill millions of enemies!"

"In addition, the coalition army has the geographical advantage and can wait for the enemy to exhaust themselves, so our casualties can be reduced to an extremely low level."

Jiang Baiming replied. What he said was undoubtedly a piece of good news, which made everyone's expressions relax a lot.

"You are indeed a Left Path Saint Physique. It has been hard on you to achieve this in just two months."

Tang Ning praised. He knew that Jiang Baiming had been working day and night at the frontline for the past two months, and he was the one who worked the hardest among all of them.

"If the enemy breaks through the defense line, we have already practiced how to deal with it. When we go back, I hope that all the commanders will practice more. Remember, there must be no accidents."

Tang Ning looked at the others and solemnly reminded them. The generals of the coalition army who were named nodded one after another.

"We are clear about the defense line and how to deal with it. What we are most worried about is how many Immortal Venerables and above will be sent by Xing Prefecture."

Tang Ning added. This was the most crucial factor that would affect the direction of the war. The number of Immortal Venerables and above, especially the number of Emperor-to-be and Emperor-to-be, would directly determine their success or failure.

The massive number of soldiers of the coalition army was only to prevent the enemy from invading their homeland. If they wanted to defeat the enemy, they would have to rely on the top combat power.

Tang Ning glanced at everyone present. Apart from the six emperors, the number of Emperor-to-be was more optimistic than before after Qiu Mengyi, Abbot Ruo Chen, and the others joined in.

However, without the Celestial Thearch, this advantage was almost non-existent.

Tang Ning estimated the number of high-level combat power. When his eyes swept past the Battling Immortal of the Heartless Ape Clan and Abbot Ruo Chen of the Great Tempest Temple, he sighed in his heart.

The Heartless Ape Clan had five ancestors, and it was said that they were all Emperor-to-be at their peak. As for the two Kunpengs worshiped by the Great Tempest Temple, they were able to fight against the Joyful Demon Monk, so their strength was naturally at the Emperor-to-be level.

This meant that there were seven Emperor-to-be, but none of these seven could help at the moment.

After the battle with the Joyful Demon Monk, the Kunpeng brothers were seriously injured and fell into a coma. It was said that they were still in a coma for some reason. They could only stay in the Western Heaven Star Domain and were watched over by a small number of monks.

As for the five ancestors of the Heartless Ape Clan, they had never gathered together because of the strange reincarnation period. Three of them were sealed in cocoons, one was old and decayed, and the only one with great combat power was called back to the Ape Planet some time ago.
