Chapter 213: A Twist in the Final Battle

Heavenly Calamity descended, annihilating the blood-colored legion—but endless new soldiers kept pouring out of the fissures in the earth, filling the gaps left by the destruction, marching unswervingly toward Bai Shuanglian in the sky.

Seeing this, Bai Shuanglian’s slender jade-white fingers tapped lightly in the air.

Once again, she traced out talismans, bringing down another wave of Heavenly Calamity.

For a moment, the Heavenly Calamity and the legion fell into a stalemate.

The calamity could not wipe out the entire legion in one go, while the legion’s regeneration seemed endless.

Watching this, Su Taosheng’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

This situation was not quite what she had expected.

She had thought that as long as she used Legion Spell, she could secure victory in this match.

But she never expected Bai Shuanglian’s response to be far more formidable than she had imagined.

Indeed, Bai Shuanglian, the most outstanding member of the Bai Family’s generation, had not earned her reputation for nothing.

However…

Su Taosheng’s eyes narrowed.

She still had other tricks up her sleeve.

The battle for victory had only just begun!

She raised the blood-colored war flag high.

The character “South” on it danced in the fierce wind as if it had come alive.

Then Su Taosheng let out a soft cry, and the “South” character on the flag gradually began to glow.

Under this radiance, the blood-colored soldiers, who had been resisting the Heavenly Calamity, all paused.

Then, as if they had understood something, they stopped in their tracks and began moving in a peculiar yet mysteriously profound gait.

Witnessing this strange sight, Bai Shuanglian frowned slightly as she watched.

She understood that Su Taosheng would not make her soldiers move aimlessly for no reason.

There must be a purpose behind her actions.

Then, a thought struck Bai Shuanglian.

Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Su Taosheng and her legion.

‘Is that… an Army Formation?’

Looking at the soldiers slowly arranging themselves into a mystical pattern, Bai Shuanglian felt she was almost certainly correct.

But she hadn’t expected Su Taosheng to be able to sustain the consumption of an Army Formation.

Normally, activating an Army Formation required all the soldiers to share the energy consumption.

But clearly, Su Taosheng’s soldiers were merely puppets created by her magic arts—essentially still a part of Su Taosheng herself.

So the consumption of this Army Formation would have to be borne solely by Su Taosheng.

Thinking this, Bai Shuanglian turned her gaze toward Su Taosheng and met the Eldest Princess’s eyes.

She could see the blazing battle intent within them.

At this sight, Bai Shuanglian understood Su Taosheng’s intentions.

‘This one attack decides victory?’

The corners of her mouth curved upward.

‘In that case, I’ll see it through to the end!’

Bai Shuanglian raised her hand above her head.

Spirit Power gathered in her palm, and a spark of flame burst forth.

It first condensed into a mysterious small formation, then within that small formation, countless extraordinary runes and formation patterns were continuously inscribed.

The next moment, as if reaching some critical threshold, the small formation, constantly filled with patterns and runes, suddenly expanded.

But what emerged from the expansion was no longer a formation—it was a colossal fireball like a blazing sun.

The fireball was entirely golden, clearly composed of Yang Flame.

Its surface shimmered with all the mystical runes and formation patterns that had been inscribed into the formation, setting it apart from the sun in the sky.

Yet despite those differences, it still looked like a Great Sun.

Its scorching heat baked the earth, turning rock and soil into molten lava.

The air around it was twisted by the heat.

If an ordinary person were here, they would be burned to death in an instant, not even ash remaining.

Bai Shuanglian, however, remained completely unaffected.

Even while holding such a terrifying sun aloft, her long hair fluttered gently in the wind.

With her exquisitely beautiful face and otherworldly, transcendent aura, she looked exactly like a Celestial Maiden descending to the mortal world.

Bai Shuanglian looked down at the Army Formation below.

She was not surprised to see that the army remained untouched by the intense heat.

A layer of Blood Fiend fog had condensed around them, shielding them from the high temperature.

Within the fog, a large formation faintly flickered, performing its function.

It seemed this Blood Fiend fog was one of the effects of the Army Formation, designed to protect the soldiers from harm.

Bai Shuanglian gazed into the distance at the Blood Mist Legion, which stood out so vividly under the Great Sun.

It was as if she could see through the mist and look directly at Su Taosheng within.

And indeed, Su Taosheng was looking up at Bai Shuanglian and the Great Sun held aloft in her hand.

If Bai Shuanglian was a Celestial Maiden descending to the mortal world, then Su Taosheng was an Undefeated General emerging from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

She led her army, determined to fight the celestial maiden to the death!

At this thought, a fierce, battle-hungry smile crept across Su Taosheng’s lips.

‘This is what a battle should be! This is the joy of fighting!’

As the daughter of the most warlike Southern King, she naturally loved battle.

Otherwise, she would never have joined the legion under her father’s command, starting from the lowest soldier and working her way up step by step, until now she had become a commander capable of leading a legion on her own!

A hint of regret crept into her heart.

‘Too bad.’

Su Taosheng glanced at her “comrades” around her.

If this weren’t a match, or if she could have brought her own personal troops, fighting would surely have been more interesting.

But then again, she wouldn’t have met such an excellent opponent as Bai Shuanglian.

And it would have been unfair.

‘Ah, there are pros and cons to everything.’

Su Taosheng sighed inwardly, but her fighting spirit did not diminish in the slightest.

Even if this was just a match, she would treat it like a real war!

She jerked the reins of her armored warhorse.

The horse let out a whinny, and as if receiving an order, the soldiers who had been fine-tuning their formation stopped all at once.

Countless streams of light flowed back and forth among the soldiers, finally coalescing into a massive Law Array that covered the entire ground.

Su Taosheng swung the war flag.

With her movement, an enormous blood-colored long spear, taking up half the arena, emerged from the Blood Fiend fog, its tip aimed directly at Bai Shuanglian.

Seeing this, Bai Shuanglian’s Great Sun blazed with even fiercer radiance.

The raging flames within burned more intensely.

The two locked eyes, ready to launch their attacks simultaneously.

And then—

“BOOM!!!”

With a thunderous roar that seemed to shake the entire Colosseum across space itself, the audience, who had been focused on the duel between the two combatants, was horrified to discover that the arena beneath their feet had suddenly collapsed—as if struck by an explosion!
