Start the War

Behind the Imperial Capital's army, Emperor Qing, Yun Zhongjun, Saint Jin, and a few others followed quietly. With their Imperial Power Realm cultivation, it was naturally easy for them to hide their tracks. This time, Yun Zhongjun and Saint Jin each brought three people. Including Emperor Qing, there were a total of nine people.

Coincidentally, among the eight people from the Blue Whale Holy Dynasty and Alkaid Holy Dynasty, there were four Martial Emperors. The remaining four were Peak Heavenly Venerables. Yun Zhongjun and Saint Jin were Third Level Martial Emperors. The other two Martial Emperors from the Blue Whale Holy Dynasty and Alkaid Holy Dynasty were First Level Martial Emperors. Including Emperor Qing who was Second Level Martial Emperors, there were a total of five Martial Emperors.

This was an extremely terrifying lineup. One should know that in the past, Emperor Qing was the only Martial Emperor in the Qing Xuan Empire. Even after Lü Hantian's sudden rise, he had also advanced to the Martial Emperor Realm. There were only two Martial Emperors in total.

But now, with the support of the Blue Whale Holy Dynasty and Alkaid Holy Dynasty, Emperor Qing's side had a total of five Martial Emperors. For a small place like Qing Xuan Empire, it was definitely an extremely terrifying lineup. It could even be said that in Qing Xuan Empire, such a lineup could even sweep away everything.

This was also the most fundamental reason why Emperor Qing was so confident at this moment.

"Our Imperial Capital has a total of 055,555 elite troops, while the Celestial Empire only has 805,555. The difference in strength between the two sides is huge. When the Celestial Empire's army can't resist, Lü Hantian and the others will definitely not be able to sit still. When that time comes, we will give them a warning. At that time, Lü Hantian and the others will definitely be unable to escape. If Zhuowen is in the Celestial Empire, he will definitely make a move. Then, it will be time for the two of you to take revenge," Emperor Qing said with a chuckle.

"Huh?

I hope that little bastard Zhuowen is in the Celestial Empire. Our people are not so easy to kill. Since he has killed them, he must pay with his life, "Yun Zhongjun said with a cold gaze.

Although Saint Jin beside him, Saint Jin did not say anything, from the murderous intent that burst out of his eyes, he was thinking the same thing as Yun Zhongjun.

"Kill!"

At this moment, the Imperial Capital's army began to charge. Looking at this scene, Emperor Qing crossed his arms, his eyes filled with confidence. Five hundred thousand against three hundred and fifty thousand. No matter how one looked at it, their Imperial Capital's army had a much higher chance of winning.

Under Zhuo Wen's command, the army of the Celestial Empire stopped completely where they were. Emperor Qing frowned slightly when he saw this scene. He did not know what Zhuo Wen was up to, but a cold smile still appeared at the corner of his mouth.

When the River Diagram Array rose, the Heavenly Empire's army moved. What happened next stunned the Qing Emperor, and the expression on his face froze.

This was because he discovered that the soldiers of the Imperial Capital who had entered the River Diagram Formation were all stunned on the spot. He did not know what they were doing. Even when the Celestial Empire's army approached, they still did not notice.

In such a strange state, the imperial capital's army, which had been full of momentum, suddenly became stray dogs. They were almost unilaterally slaughtered by the celestial army without any ability to resist.

"What's going on?" Emperor Qing murmured in disbelief.

"It's that formation!" Yun Zhongjun's gaze suddenly fell on the huge Dragon Horse in the sky, and he could not help but whisper to Emperor Qing.

"This formation … Was it set up by that little bastard Zhuowen?"

Emperor Qing stared at Zhuowen's figure on the city wall in the distance. Just now, it was Zhuowen who told the Celestial Empire's army to stand still. When the Imperial Capital's army fell into the River Diagram Array, it was also Zhuowen who said the word "kill" and ordered the Celestial Empire's army to slaughter the Imperial Capital's army.

"It seems that this kid is indeed a little unusual. However, it's useless no matter how unusual he is because he will definitely die."

Yun Zhongjun and Jin Sheng looked at Zhuowen with murderous eyes. Their purpose for coming here this time was to kill Zhuowen.

In just half an hour, the 755,555 Imperial Capital's soldiers who first entered the River Diagram Array were almost single-handedly slaughtered by the Celestial Empire's army. On the other hand, the Celestial Empire's army did not suffer any casualties. Such a battle record was really heaven-defying.

On the other hand, the remaining 855,555 soldiers of the Imperial Capital revealed terrified expressions as they retreated by almost a hundred steps. Not a single one of them dared to step into the River Diagram Formation. What had happened earlier was truly too strange to them.

The Celestial Empire's army did not pursue them. After witnessing the power of the River Diagram Array, they were full of awe for Zhuowen. To be able to set up such a powerful formation, Zhuowen was obviously an arcanist with extremely powerful mental strength. Soldiers were most afraid of arcanists.

This was because such an existence in a war could generally determine the outcome of the war.

"If this formation is not broken, your Imperial Capital's army will not be able to compete with the Celestial Empire's army at all," Jin Sheng suddenly said.

The Qing Emperor's expression was quite ugly. His eyes flickered as he said to Jin Sheng and Yun Zhongjun, "It seems that we still need to take action in this war. Can you two lend me a hand? Qing Zhi will definitely thank you after this matter is over."

Jin Sheng and Yun Zhongjun looked at each other and smiled, "Since we're already here, why can't we give Elder Qing Zhi some face?

Besides, our goal this time is that little bastard Zhuowen. Since this little bastard is on the Celestial Empire's side, it's not a big deal to destroy the Celestial Empire while we're at it. "

Hearing that the two of them had agreed, the Qing Emperor's eyes lit up with joy. He said, "Now, I'll go and break that formation first. Once the formation is broken, we'll begin the attack on the Celestial Empire's capital."

With that, the Cyan Emperor took a step forward and instantly rushed out from his hiding place. He came to the sky above the River Diagram Array, and a terrifying Emperor's aura spread out, causing nine cyan stars to descend from the sky, making it look extremely powerful.

"Your Majesty, the Qing Emperor!"

Seeing the Qing Emperor appear, the Imperial Capital's soldiers shouted and knelt down on one knee. Their originally dispirited morale suddenly rose.

"The old fox, the Qing Emperor, has finally come out."

On the city wall, Zhuo Wen, Lu Hantian, and the others' eyes lit up as they stared at the figure surrounded by nine cyan stars.

"Looking at the Qing Emperor's goal, he should be trying to break the River Diagram Array. We can't let him succeed. I'll go and meet him."

Lü Hantian snorted coldly and suddenly stepped out. Nine white Emperor Stars descended and instantly arrived where the Qing Emperor was. With a stomp of his right hand, the nine white stars crushed toward the Qing Emperor like nine mountains.

The Qing Emperor, who had originally planned to destroy the formation, also noticed Lü Hantian's nine white stars. He frowned slightly and had no choice but to use the nine green stars to block them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The eighteen stars instantly collided, and a thunderous sound resounded in the sky. Then, white and green starlight scattered out, enveloping the entire sky above the Celestial Empire's capital. It was as if a meteor shower was falling from the sky. Thump!

Thump! Thump!

The Qing Emperor and Lü Hantian each took dozens of steps back and faced each other in the sky. The terrifying Emperor's aura was like a mountain, enveloping the entire Celestial Empire's soldiers and causing them to tremble. They could not withstand the Emperor's aura and knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Lü Hantian!

You've improved a lot. In just two years, you've actually reached this level. "The Qing Emperor looked at Lü Hantian with fear and said coldly.

"Hehe!

Isn't this all thanks to you? Speaking of which, I should be the one thanking you. Don't you think so, Qing Emperor? "Lü Hantian grinned and said in a carefree manner.

Hearing this, the Qing Emperor's face twitched, and his expression darkened. Then, he looked at Zhuowen and said coldly, "Zhuowen!

Didn't you come all the way back from the Sea of Bitterness to take revenge on me?

Now that I'm right in front of you, why don't you come out? "

Hearing that the Qing Emperor, a Second Level Emperor, was challenging Zhuowen, a Peak Heavenly Master, many people in the Celestial Empire felt contempt.

"The Qing Emperor is really shameless. He's a Second Level Emperor, and Big Brother Zhuo is only a Peak Heavenly Master. How dare he ask Big Brother Zhuo to fight him?" Miao Lv snorted indignantly.

Fang Yu, Uncle Liu, and the others nodded in agreement. The Qing Emperor's actions were indeed despicable. Of course, many people also thought that Zhuowen would not accept the Qing Emperor's challenge. After all, there was still a huge gap between the two.

Whoosh!

The sound of something breaking through the air rang out. Then, under everyone's astonished gazes, Zhuowen stepped out and appeared in front of the Qing Emperor in an instant. He stared at the Qing Emperor fearlessly and said, "You're right. I, Zhuowen, have come here to chop off your dog head."

Hearing this, many people in the Celestial Empire stared blankly at Zhuowen's back. There was only one thought in their minds, and that was whether Zhuowen had gone crazy. Although Zhuowen had improved a lot in the past two years, he had not reached the Emperor Realm. How could he be a match for an Emperor Realm cultivator?

"Haha!

Zhuowen, you are still as arrogant as before. A mere peak Heavenly Venerable actually dares to accept the challenge. I don't know if I should say that your courage is commendable or that you are foolish. "The Lotus Emperor suddenly sneered.

Zhuowen's eyes were extremely calm. He said indifferently, "The rest of you don't have to hide anymore. Since the Qing Emperor dares to lead the soldiers of the Imperial Capital to launch a general attack today, he must have some reinforcements. So, come out."

Sure enough, as soon as Zhuo Wen's words came out, eight silhouettes rushed out from their hiding places and landed beside Emperor Qing. These eight silhouettes' auras were extremely terrifying, especially the two in the lead. Their auras were even stronger than Emperor Qing and Lu Hantian's.

"Two Third Heaven Emperor Realm cultivators?" Lü Hantian stared at Yun Zhongjun and Jin Sheng and could not help but exclaim.

"There are actually two Third Heaven Emperor Realm cultivators. Such a lineup …"

Lü Hantian's voice was not soft. Countless cultivators in the Celestial Empire heard it clearly and burst into an uproar. Even the Yan Emperor could not help but tremble, and a trace of intense fear appeared in his eyes.

How did the Qing Emperor do it? How did he manage to find so many Emperor Realm cultivators?
