The imperial weapon clears the path!
Experts from Pingyang Heaven, Blood Evil Heaven, and Yuan Magnetic Heaven were horrified!
Even Ascended Immortals trembled.
That was a true imperial weapon!
Not the fake one Qi Liujia had woven from array runes.
This was the real thing—an Ancient Emperor’s weapon, stained with imperial aura, interwoven with Dao and laws!
“The Upper Realm ca prepared!”
“They brought an imperial weapon—the Sacred Clan truly intends to kill the Blood-Robed General!”
“No surprise. How terrifying was the Blood-Robed General? The Ancient Emperor’s greatest general—his blade turned the allied armies of the Eight Heavens into rivers of blood, dyeing the entire Void Heaven crimson.”
Countless Upper Realm Sacred Clan greats had died by his hand.
A man’s na, a tree’s shadow!
The Upper Realm’s grand mobilization to kill him was understandable.
The three-legged cauldron poured out heaven-soaring flas. Crimson fire burned with terrifying heat.
The void itself seed incinerated into vast abysses.
“Crackle…” The sound of laws burning and shattering sent chills down spines.
The Great Venerable of the Little Thunderclap Buddha World trembled.
Looking at the colossal cauldron that seed to fill half the Void Heaven, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
“The Five Phoenixes… are finished.”
He murmured.
Then pressed his palms together and fled far away.
Next, the Void Heaven would beco a terrifying battlefield of countless deaths.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The world rumbled. Terrifying voids tore open long rifts.
Oppressive aura bore down.
Lu Fan sat on the second-floor balcony of White Jade Capital, brows furrowed.
“This aura… is quite strong.”
Lu Fan said solemnly.
For the first ti, he showed gravity.
“That’s… an imperial weapon?”
Lu Fan inhaled deeply.
An Ancient Emperor’s unfathomable weapon?
The giant whale beneath him cried in fear. Even Lu Fan’s soothing could not calm it quickly. Once an imperial weapon appeared, blood was certain to flow!
Behind Lu Fan, the Five Phoenixes cultivators showed fear.
It was an overwhelming might like facing the heavens themselves—despairing, crushing any will to resist.
Qi Liujia’s face was ashen. An imperial weapon had appeared… The Five Phoenixes were truly dood this ti.
Compared to the Upper Realm, the Five Phoenixes were far too weak.
The gap was too vast.
The only one who could speak to the Upper Realm was Young Master Lu.
But one world—how could it rely on Young Master Lu alone?
Qi Liujia’s face filled with sorrow.
The Five Phoenixes’ spirit was strong, but…
Because they had always been protected by Lu Fan, they had grown too comfortable. Even against strong enemies, Lu Fan bore the burden.
The Five Phoenixes had spirit, but lacked the mad drive to grow stronger.
Qi Liujia’s wrinkled face trembled.
He wanted to do sothing, but… what could he do now?
The three-legged cauldron spanned the Void Heaven, blocking countless laws.
The remaining ninety thousand troops advanced.
As if walking a road paved with stars, they slowly approached the Five Phoenixes.
Even more terrifying—vast figures trailing immortal qi, radiating world-destroying auras.
Upper Realm experts had truly co!
Earlier Lu Fan had said: If you dare, co.
Now—they had co!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Cold continents shattered. Wanderers in the Void Heaven were nearly wiped out.
Many low- and mid-martial worlds collapsed under the army’s aura.
This was the tragedy of the weak.
Without strength, they were ants. Giants passing by wouldn’t even notice crushing them.
The ancient tomb floated above the Five Phoenixes.
In the blood sea, the coffin rose and fell.
The coffin was tightly sealed. A vermilion divine herb floated above it, endless life force pouring into the coffin.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Upper Realm punitive army’s steps echoed through the void.
Like an iron flood rolling from afar.
Every cultivator in the Five Phoenixes trembled—this was psychological oppression.
Overlord took down his axe and shield, eyes sharp, killing intent blazing.
Uncontrollable rage burned in his heart.
Facing such bullying—how could Overlord endure it?
Jiang Li raised his hand. The hundred thousand Great Xuan iron riders, ready to die.
They knew facing this army was like mantises trying to stop a chariot, but they would fight.
Of course.
Hope remained in every heart.
Because White Jade Capital still floated.
The white-robed youth in the tower remained unshaken.
There was still hope.
…
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The army advanced like gods and demons crossing the void.
The void exploded everywhere!
Free of law suppression, the Upper Realm army marched unhindered.
They reached the river of ti!
The silvery-gray river swept forth.
But a figure shrouded in immortal qi from an ancient warship roared.
The warship crashed into the river.
Radiant light flowed.
Next mont—the river of ti was torn apart!
“The Five Phoenixes colluded with the Blood-Robed General—sa cri! Exterminate them!”
In Pingyang Heaven—
The Divine Son’s chariot remained still. Dragon-horses snorted white mist.
The Divine Son shrouded in purple qi spoke slowly, sentencing the Five Phoenixes’ fate with one word.
BOOM!
The river of ti was violently ripped open!
The three beyond-Ascended experts carrying the imperial weapon had their energy rapidly drained.
They carved a flat path straight into the Void Heaven.
The river of ti was breached.
Lu Fan’s brows tightened.
He dispersed the “Lin” rune. The river of ti flowed back into the sundial, which returned above the Five Phoenixes.
“Kill the Blood-Robed General!”
Soone roared.
The ninety thousand troops moved!
Archers drew sacred greatbows in unison. The sound of space tearing rang out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A rain of arrows howled forth.
Behind the archers—cavalry on ferocious beasts charged.
The beasts resembled tiger-lions—ferocious and frenzied!
Beasts armored too—like a terrifying iron flood, wrapped in overwhelming montum crashing toward the Five Phoenixes!
Oppressive aura—like mountains and rain about to burst.
Like black clouds covering a mountain peak.
Lu Fan sat in White Jade Capital’s tower, white robes whipping, black hair flying.
“They really ca.”
Lu Fan said.
The army was secondary. The truly terrifying were the Ascended Immortals mixed within.
And the vast figures trailing immortal qi from the ancient warships.
This was an unprecedented crisis.
Though their main target was the tomb and the Blood-Robed within—
The Five Phoenixes could not escape.
Lu Fan sighed softly.
“I, Lu Ping’an, only wanted to play chess, drink wine, watch the world ascend.”
“Why… do you always force to kill?”
Lu Fan said.
Next, his palms rested on the armrests.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The army had not arrived.
But the rain of arrows ca first!
This arrow rain, amplified by the imperial weapon, was far more terrifying!
Like a flooding river pouring down!
Lu Fan grew serious.
His pupils reflected countless lights.
His slender hand slowly swept across.
Whoosh!
White robes flared.
A blast of qi sent silver blades exploding outward.
Huala la!
Silver light stacked like flying swords in a spiral, soaring from beneath Lu Fan.
A storm of silver light t the rain of arrows.
Lu Fan sat in his wheelchair, floating in the void.
He raised his hand and pointed at the arrow rain.
Countless silver blades shot forth.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Silver blades ford a storm. Arrows crashed into it and shattered!
Lu Fan’s hair flew. His face was cold—killing intent blazing for the first ti.
He rolled up his sleeve and placed a piece.
Plop!
Countless silver blades surged madly.
PFFT! PFFT!
Silver blades rushed into the Upper Realm army, unleashing terrifying slaughter.
Blood mist blood one after another.
Archers’ heads exploded as blades swept past.
Cavalry charged.
Lu Fan erupted with myriad spirit pressure. Giant chess pieces seed to fall from the heavens, ready to crush all cavalry!
“The Five Phoenixes’ Saint Lord… truly peerless!”
“But you are only one man. Without you, the Five Phoenixes will fall!”
A leisurely voice rang from an ancient warship.
Not much mockery—even appreciation.
At this mont, Lu Fan alone blocked the Upper Realm army—what grace!
Lu Fan’s brows furrowed.
BOOM!
A mountain-shaking sound.
Next—
Immortal qi erupted from an ancient warship.
An expert from the warship acted personally!
As if a vast sea pressed down—terrifying oppression made faces change.
This was a being beyond Ascended Immortal!
“Co, co… This old man will play with you, junior.”
Laughter shook the Void Heaven.
Then the expert flicked his finger.
Ford seals.
Instantly—
Array runes ballooned from his palm like an inflating sphere.
They ford a dragon head!
The massive dragon head opened its maw and swallowed!
Countless silver blades were devoured in one gulp!
Hmm?
Lu Fan’s brows tightened.
Phoenix Feather Sword coiled around him. Nine segnts stacked and slashed to shatter the dragon-head array!
But—
Sothing unexpected happened!
In the void, a massive array rune appeared!
The “Zhe” (Trapped) rune!
An Ancient Emperor’s array rune!
Lu Fan’s sword struck it—yet sank like a stone into the sea. A vast sensation made his attack lose direction.
“Hahahaha…”
The expert shrouded in immortal qi standing in the void laughed.
“Situ Gui offered the ‘Zhe’ rune—a supre trapping array. How will you break it?”
The expert chuckled.
Next, he flicked his sleeve and entered the dragon-head array.
In an instant—the Five Phoenixes fell silent.
The giant whale carrying the immortal island vanished!
Along with Young Master Lu—pulled into the dragon-head array by the expert from the ancient warship!
Without Young Master Lu bearing the pressure—
The killing intent and unstoppable might of the Upper Realm army crashed down on the Five Phoenixes like a waterfall!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The entire Five Phoenixes began to tremble. The vast sea seed to boil.
On the blood-colored battlefield—
Every face paled.
They once again felt the mountain-like pressure—despairing, crushing.
“Trample this world! Breach the ancient tomb!”
From the luxurious chariot—
The Divine Son shrouded in purple qi spoke slowly, as if he had foreseen everything.
So when he had watched Lu Fan’s arrogance earlier, he had seen only an ignorant ant jumping about—unworthy of concern.
As for Lu Fan being pulled into the dragon-head array—his fate was obvious.
The Divine Son’s eyes narrowed beneath the purple qi.
Visible narrow pupils.
“I requested nine ‘Immortal Hosts’ from the clan. Three carry the imperial weapon, one draws the unfathomable Five Phoenixes Saint Lord into single combat. The remaining five are enough to breach the tomb and stop the Blood-Robed’s revival.”
The purple qi around the Divine Son grew denser.
Next, he gave the distant order.
“Kill!”
The three Immortal Hosts could not carry the imperial weapon long.
Once the weapon no longer held open the Void Heaven’s laws—
The Immortal Hosts who entered would bleed!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The army surged like a flood.
Beast cavalry seed ready to charge onto the blood-colored battlefield.
Immortal Hosts and Ascended Immortals from the ancient warships charged toward the blood-sea-tossed tomb!
BOOM!
An Immortal Host attacked. Heaven-shaking strikes slamd the tomb.
The tomb shook. The blood sea churned.
Suddenly—
Four skeletons appeared atop the tomb’s city walls.
One skeleton in a pink dress—though skeletal, it seed to possess peerless beauty.
One in tattered daoist robes, holding a broken rusted sword.
One in armor, iron and blood.
One pitch-black like a shadow, ready to vanish.
“Be careful!”
“These are the Four Kings under the Blood-Robed General!”
From an ancient warship, an Immortal Host spoke gravely, fear mixed with his warning.
The four skeletons, each with different bearing, ancient and unremarkable.
“Borrow blood to kill enemies.”
Ghostly flas blazed in their sockets.
On the blood-colored battlefield, Jiang Li felt sothing.
He gritted his teeth!
Slamd his chest. A drop of heart-blood sprayed from his mouth.
BOOM!
The drop of blood shot forth as light.
Within the tomb, atop the city wall—
Luo Mingyue’s red lips bled as she coughed heart-blood.
Xin Xianzhi controlled a flying sword, piercing his chest, the tip holding a drop of heart-blood.
Mo Liuqi coughed blood too.
Four drops of blood streaked across the sky.
The void rippled.
Then hovered before the four skeletons.
The Immortal Hosts aboard the ancient warships felt their hearts leap.
“Kill! The Four Kings’ life force is depleted—they have not recovered their peak! Kill them now! Breach the tomb!”
BOOM!
Heaven-shaking attacks covered the sky.
Scorching, violent, icy…
All kinds of powers nearly overturned heaven and earth.
Even stronger Dao Intent fluctuations.
Yet the four skeletons’ ghostly flas blazed brighter.
The blood returned to position.
Four drops seeped into their withered bones.
Then—the four emaciated skeletons inflated as if filled with air.
As if flesh reborn in an instant!
“Crazy! Burning primordial spirits to regenerate flesh! After this, the Four Kings will vanish from the world!”
An Immortal Host’s pupils shrank in disbelief.
These were the Four Kings!
To regain so power, they severed their own future!
The pink-skirted skeleton’s flesh returned. The deflated dress filled out.
A woman of extre beauty—seductive eyes, waterfall-like black hair, jade-like skin, immortal qi swirling around her.
Zither notes rang out.
Her delicate hands played. Notes like urgent rain—storm approaching.
Then like whispers in the ear.
The emaciated daoist filled out too, becoming a robust middle-aged man. From his wide sleeve, a cyan snake shot out—sword light like a rainbow.
The four skeletons borrowed blood to be reborn—as if returning to ancient tis in a thought, their magnificent auras reappearing.
PFFT!
Ascended Immortals and Transcendents who followed the attack coughed blood.
They were horrified.
The Immortal Hosts from the ancient warships attacked with thunderous force.
Heaven-tier artifacts shrouded in immortal qi erupted with shocking power!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As if to flatten the tomb!
Yet all attacks were easily blocked.
…
Blood-colored battlefield.
The flood crashed!
The Upper Realm punitive army finally set foot on the land.
“Kill!”
Without the mysterious Five Phoenixes Saint Lord blocking—
The unstoppable army finally stepped onto this soil.
Five Phoenixes cultivators were silent, but…
They did not retreat. Fire burned in their eyes.
“Where are the Five Phoenixes cultivators?!”
Overlord took down his axe and shield, shooting forth like light to kill into the army.
Jiang Li’s silver armor clashed. He raised his spear: “Army, follow !”
The hundred thousand iron riders linked auras, charging as one!
Du Longyang, Ye Shoudao, Ni Chunqiu, Young Master Tianxu—all charged madly.
This was a war of survival.
Defeat ant only annihilation for the Five Phoenixes!
Qi Liujia’s face was sorrowful.
It had co to this.
Perhaps when the Five Phoenixes beca high-martial, he should have foreseen it.
Jiang Li led the army crashing into the Upper Realm formation troops.
In an instant—
Over half the hundred thousand Great Xuan iron riders died.
Exploded corpses made the battlefield’s sand hot and red.
Seeing this, Qi Liujia laughed sorrowfully.
He looked at the massive dragon head—Lu Fan had been pulled inside.
The giant “Zhe” rune hovered.
His fourth disciple Situ Gui followed the Upper Realm forces like a lackey.
The “Zhe” rune was a supre trapping array. Young Master Lu was sealed within—unable to break out quickly.
Qi Liujia suddenly laughed miserably.
It turned out… everything was because of him.
He had never imagined the Five Phoenixes’ destruction would co from his own Liujia Array Sect’s runes.
If Young Master Lu had not been pulled into the dragon head, the Five Phoenixes would still have had a chance.
After all, the Upper Realm’s main target was the Blood-Robed General Gu Mangran’s tomb.
Qi Liujia’s body swayed.
He looked into the distance.
There, Li Sansui in blood-soaked daoist robes, fought bravely.
His gaze softened.
He looked at everyone on the blood-colored battlefield—fearless, unyielding, fighting the Upper Realm army.
He looked at the dying Great Xuan iron riders.
At this mont, Qi Liujia’s hunched back straightened.
White hair flew. His eyes blazed!
“Liujia Array Sect—founded by an Ancient Emperor, inheriting the Nine Runes from ancient tis. I, Qi Liujia, have been sect master till now—timid, speaking softly, fearing sect and lives lost.”
“I, Qi Liujia, am no great man.”
“Yet I have caused enemies to use the Nine Runes to invade our Void Heaven!”
Qi Liujia’s white hair and coarse robes whipped.
His voice was firm and powerful.
It drew gazes from many on the blood-colored battlefield.
Li Sansui looked at Qi Liujia now, eyes filled with fear.
“Master!”
Qi Liujia looked gently at Li Sansui.
But said nothing.
He only looked guiltily at the dragon head shrouded by the massive “Zhe” rune—where Young Master Lu was trapped.
That “Zhe” rune pierced his eyes with pain.
He knelt toward the dragon-head array.
“Young Master Lu… May the Five Phoenixes prosper forever. One day, stand atop the Ninth Heaven!”
BOOM!
Next mont—
Vast life force erupted from Qi Liujia!
The power of the divine herb!
Back then, Lu Fan had used ti power to catalyze a divine herb and saved his life.
But Qi Liujia had stored most of its power. Now…
He ignited it all!
BOOM!
Qi Liujia knelt, but his body cracked with lines.
From the cracks—
Array runes shot skyward!
Hummm…
Countless runes wove together, enveloping the entire blood-colored battlefield!
Myriad lines ford a golden three-legged cauldron!
Imperial Weapon—Myriad Rune Cauldron!
Though only woven from array runes—
Fueled by vast divine herb energy, it erupted with heaven-shaking might!
Compared to last ti, when it could only trap enemies—
This Myriad Rune Cauldron burned with myriad killing intent!
Tens of thousands of Upper Realm punitive troops were enveloped!
BOOM!
Array runes sliced through. Beasts turned to bones. Nascent Divinity experts crushed into blood mist…
Even many Grand Ability experts were caught.
Unity Realm experts couldn’t escape. Transcendents abandoned flesh. Ascended Immortals fled in panic.
This was the Myriad Rune Cauldron revived by divine herb energy, bearing an Ancient Emperor’s aura!
A fleeting brilliance—dazzling and radiant.
The Myriad Rune Cauldron’s light blotted out the sky.
Qi Liujia’s body was covered in cracks. He stood with hands behind his back, coarse robes whipping.
His primordial spirit had long withered. His flesh was about to shatter.
He floated within the cauldron.
Looking at everyone on the blood-colored battlefield.
Overlord, Jiang Li, Du Longyang, Nie Changqing, Ni Yu…
His gaze was gentle.
“Don’t let Young Master Lu bear everything…”
“You must grow stronger.”
“Take the Five Phoenixes… grow stronger.”
Next mont—
His body blazed like daylight.
“Hahahaha…”
“With array to behold the world, mountains high and rivers long!”
“With this decaying life, I trade for ninety thousand Upper Realm lives—I, Qi Liujia… have not shad the Liujia Array Sect!”
He recalled his past timidity—only wanting the Five Phoenixes to develop quietly.
Today—he would be bold once.
The old man’s body shone with myriad light, laughing as he gazed east—toward the world he once tried to build.
Slowly, his cracked flesh fell apart!
BOOM!
Myriad array runes dispersed.
The blood-colored battlefield was nearly leveled.
The Upper Realm punitive army…
Only bones remained.
