204: Three armies marched out, their battle robes stained with blood.
Three days passed in a flash.
Outside the Pill Tower Holy Domain, banners blotted out the sun, and killing intent soared to the heavens! Three vast armies, each with a distinctly different aura, yet all exuding an iron-blooded and resolute resolve, had already formed their battle arrays!
At the front of the central army, Xiao Chen stood with his hands behind his back, clad in a simple blue robe. His aura was completely restrained, making him seem like an ordinary scholar, but when his profound eyes, like the Chaos Starry Sky, swept over the million-strong army below, every warrior touched by his gaze involuntarily felt a sense of awe and fanaticism deep within their souls! Behind him, three hundred Dragon Guards from Ancient Dragon Island, each with a fierce aura and a minimum cultivation of Peak Dou Zun, stood solemnly. Their dragon might was chilling, like a drawn sword! This was the main force destined to strike directly at Ten Thousand Bones City!
On the left flank, Yan Huang and the Dragon Emperor Projection stood side by side. Flames swirled around Yan Huang, making him appear like a fire god descended to the mortal realm. Behind him were a hundred thousand Yan Clan Fire Dragon Soldiers, clad in crimson armor and exuding a murderous aura! Although the Dragon Emperor Projection was slightly ethereal, the dragon might it emanated was undiminished. Behind him, thousands of powerful demonic beasts of various forms let out earth-shattering roars! They would march to the Nether Abyss!
On the right flank, Flower Without Shadow, Miao Yin, and Venerable Feng led the charge. The disciples of the Flower Sect bloomed like a hundred flowers, forming an abstruse battle array; the members of the Sound Valley held various strange musical instruments, their sound waves invisible yet harboring hidden killing intent; and the experts of the Starfall Pavilion were like stars in the dark night, their auras sharp! Their target was a surprise attack on the Blood Fiend Sea!
“Advance—!” Xiao Chen gave no impassioned speech, only a calm command imbued with supreme majesty!
“Kill—!!!”
Earth-shattering cries of battle tore through the sky! The three armies, like three overflowing torrents, brazenly set off in three different directions! Rolling killing intent swept across heaven and earth! Wherever they passed, the winds and clouds changed color, and the mountains and rivers trembled!
Along the central route, Xiao Chen led the Dragon Guards with the fastest speed! He did not ride any flying vessel; with just a single step, he had already traversed a thousand li! The Dragon Guards behind him transformed into streaks of light, following closely! Along the way, when they occasionally encountered small Soul Hall patrol teams, Xiao Chen didn't even need to act; a single charge from the Dragon Guards crushed them into dust! They advanced like a hot knife through butter!
However, the closer they got to Ten Thousand Bones City, the denser the death qi in the air became! The sky turned gray, and the earth took on an ominous dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood for ten thousand years! Countless incomplete skeletons piled up into mountains, emitting a nauseating stench of decay!
“Saint Xiao, Ten Thousand Bones City is a hundred li ahead! According to reports from our scouts, there are at least two Sixth Revolution Dou Saints stationed in the city, along with hundreds of thousands of Soul Hall elites, and… a ‘Myriad Souls Corrosive Bone Array’ suspected to have been set up by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!” A Dragon Guard commander reported in a deep voice.
“Understood.” Xiao Chen’s gaze was calm, his soul perception had long since spread out like an invisible net, covering the entire Ten Thousand Bones City. He could sense that not only were there powerful Soul Hall auras in the city, but also an extremely subtle yet even more dangerous fluctuation of fate! The people from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion were indeed here!
“According to the plan… attack the city!” Xiao Chen said indifferently.
“Roar—!!!”
The three hundred Dragon Guards let out an earth-shattering dragon roar! They transformed into three hundred golden lightning bolts that tore through space, directly crashing into the ten-thousand-zhang-tall bone city walls of Ten Thousand Bones City!
“Enemy attack—!!!”
Inside Ten Thousand Bones City, alarm bells rang loudly! Dense crowds of Soul Hall cultivators surged onto the city walls like a tide! A dark red light barrier, enveloping the entire city, suddenly lit up! Above the light barrier, countless vengeful spirits shrieked, emitting terrifying death qi that corroded the soul!
“Myriad Souls Corrosive Bone! Activate!” In the center of the city, two black-robed Soul Hall Elders (You Quan and Ming Gu, both early-stage Sixth Revolution Dou Saints) shouted sternly! The grand array activated, and bone spears condensed from death qi shot out like a torrential rain towards the charging Dragon Guards!
“Chaos Domain… open!” Xiao Chen took a step, already in the sky above the city wall! The five-hundred-zhang Chaos Sacred Realm… rumbled open! The power of the world… suppressed everything!
“Om—!”
The Myriad Souls Array, capable of corroding bones and souls, violently fluctuated under the absolute suppression of the Chaos Domain, emitting groans of unbearable strain! The bone spears that were shot out crashed against the domain wall, like mud oxen entering the sea, instantly… annihilating!
“What?! His domain… how could it be so strong?!” Elder You Quan was horrified!
“Die!” Xiao Chen pointed his fingers like a sword, lightly tapping at the core array eye below!
“Chaos… Void Return Finger!”
A grey finger-wind, disregarding spatial distance, directly struck the array eye!
“Crack—!!!”
The Myriad Souls Corrosive Bone Array… shattered in response! The backlash instantly shook tens of thousands of Soul Hall cultivators on the city wall… into a bloody mist!
“Stop him!” Elder Ming Gu’s eyes were bloodshot, and he and Elder You Quan lunged forward simultaneously! One transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang bone dragon, the other conjured a Nether Ghost Banner, both attacking Xiao Chen with all their might!
“Ants.” Xiao Chen’s gaze was indifferent, even… too lazy to use a Dou Technique. He merely… casually waved his sleeve!
“Boom—!”
An invisible chaotic torrent swept out! The bone dragon… shattered inch by inch! The ghost banner… turned to ash! Elders You Quan and Ming Gu, as if struck by a giant mountain, spat out blood, flew backward, their auras instantly withered!
Instant kill! It was still… an instant kill!
“Dragon Guards! Slaughter the city! Leave… no one!” Xiao Chen’s cold voice echoed throughout the entire city!
“Kill—!!!”
The Dragon Guards were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, invincible! Ten Thousand Bones City… instantly… turned into… a Shura hell!
Xiao Chen’s gaze, however, pierced through layers of buildings, locking onto an inconspicuous… black ancient pagoda in the city! There… a power of fate that made even him feel a slight trepidation… was fluctuating!
“The Heavenly Secret Pavilion’s rats… it’s time… to come out, isn’t it?” Xiao Chen took a step, already in front of the ancient pagoda!
