687: Battle of Destiny

"Very well. Starting today, everyone enter a state of high alert. If you discover any suspicious persons, arrest them immediately!" Xiao Qingxue spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You may all withdraw!"

Xiao Qingxue waved her hand and subsequently left the royal court hall as well.

In the following days, Yang Lingchen spent his time studying Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, especially Space Martial Skills, which he devoted a significant amount of time to researching.

Additionally, the Corpse Ghost Sect's methods for controlling Zombie Puppets were practiced by him until they reached perfection.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, Yang Lingchen finally emerged from his seclusion.

"Not bad, you indeed did not disappoint me."

Seeing Yang Lingchen's Breakthrough, Xiao Qingxue wore a faint smile.

"Qingxue, what is the current situation?" Yang Lingchen asked in a deep voice. "Have the major forces made any moves?"

"The current situation is not optimistic. The major forces are already gathering their elites. If nothing unexpected happens, they will soon come to kill us." A shallow smile appeared on Xiao Qingxue's Face as she asked, "Are you afraid?"

"What do I have to be afraid of? If they dare to come, I dare to kill them. If one comes, I'll kill one; if two come, I'll kill a pair."

A bloodthirsty Killing Intent flickered in the depths of Yang Lingchen's eyes.

Now that his cultivation level had reached the Mid-stage Heavenly Dao Extreme Realm, combined with his countless Yin Soldiers and Zombie Puppets, he had nothing to fear even if the Huangji Dao Sect and Di Mo Palace attacked. Even if he couldn't defeat these two major forces, it would be easy for him to retreat unscathed if he wished.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to reveal all his trump cards; otherwise, how would he deal with Yang Haotian in the future?

Ever since arriving in the Gods Star Domain, Yang Lingchen had a feeling of being watched. This sensation was like thorns on his back, making him feel uneasy and uncomfortable.

"It's good that you have confidence. If an irresistible enemy truly appears, there's no need for us to fight to the death with them. After all, you are still young and have plenty of time in the future to raise your cultivation level," Xiao Qingxue said in a soft voice.

"Don't worry! I won't joke with my own life," Yang Lingchen said.

He was not a stubborn person; if he could win, he would fight, and if he couldn't, he would run. There was no shame in it.

Over the next few days, Yang Lingchen set up several defensive formations around the capital city of the Yaochi Divine Dynasty. At the same time, he arranged a Formation connected to the Cangxuan Mountain Range.

If they encountered an irresistible danger, he could immediately lead the people of the Yaochi Divine Dynasty to evacuate.

Seven days passed in a flash.

On this day, the people of the Di Mo Palace, led by Palace Revered Master Mo Jixuan, finally arrived at the territory of the Yaochi Divine Dynasty.

"Revered Master, this time help me hold back the others. This Disciple wants to personally deal with Yang Lingchen."

Di Wuye's gaze was sharp, and his tone carried a hint of determination. Yang Lingchen was his fated enemy, so he naturally didn't want to rely on others' hands.

"Rest assured on this point. As your Revered Master, I can guarantee that while you are fighting, no one can threaten you." A hint of confidence showed in Mo Jixuan's eyes.

As the ruler of the Di Mo Palace, Mo Jixuan was very confident in his own strength.

Although rumors outside claimed that Xiao Qingxue's strength had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Dao Extreme Realm, Mo Jixuan did not believe she could defeat him.

Subsequently, Di Mo Palace released a message to the public: If the Yaochi Divine Dynasty did not hand over Yang Lingchen within three days, Di Mo Palace would launch a massive invasion until the Yaochi Divine Dynasty was destroyed.

Faced with the news from Di Mo Palace, Xiao Qingxue simply ignored it and issued her own harsh words: If Di Mo Palace did not retreat on its own within two days, she would wipe out the entire Di Mo Palace.

*Clatter!*

"Outrageous! Xiao Qingxue, since you are so tactless, then don't blame this seat for being ruthless."

After receiving Xiao Qingxue's message, Mo Jixuan's eyes glinted with a cold Killing Intent, and he smashed the teacup in his hand onto the ground.

At this moment, he was truly enraged. As one of the Peak powerhouses of the Gods Star Domain, no one had dared to deny him Face like this for many years.

In the royal court of the Yaochi Divine Dynasty.

Xiao Qingxue organized the tactics in an orderly manner, while Yang Lingchen stood quietly to the side, occasionally offering personal suggestions.

Yang Lingchen was also surprised. He hadn't expected Xiao Qingxue to know so many sophisticated battle tactics.

After Xiao Qingxue finished arranging the tactics, Yang Lingchen emphasized a few points and explained the key aspects of the defensive formations he had set up to everyone.

"This battle can only be won, not lost. Everyone, follow me to wipe out the invading enemies."

Xiao Qingxue's gaze was sharp, and her tone carried a powerful aura. After speaking, she was the first to fly towards the direction of Di Mo Palace.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen quickly followed, and the elites of the Yaochi Divine Dynasty and the Divine Sword Sect followed behind the two in a grand procession.

The group soon arrived at the area where Di Mo Palace was stationed.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen's expression was incredibly solemn because he discovered many Cultivators hidden in the surroundings. These Cultivators were not from Di Mo Palace but were scouts from other forces.

Clearly, this war had already attracted the attention of the entire Gods Star Domain.

"Xiao Qingxue, are you certain you want to fight to the death with my Di Mo Palace for the sake of Yang Lingchen?"

Mo Jixuan's eyes were sharp, and a cold Killing Intent emanated from his body.

"Mo Jixuan, you think too highly of yourself. Your Di Mo Palace doesn't have the qualifications to fight to the death with my Yaochi Divine Dynasty. Since you've come today, don't think about leaving unscathed."

Xiao Qingxue emitted a powerful Killing Intent. Her eyes were piercingly cold, carrying a strong sense of pressure that made people dare not look at her directly.

"bitch, since you seek death, I will fulfill your wish."

Mo Jixuan's Face instantly contorted. With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Kill!"

"Kill!"

As soon as Mo Jixuan's words fell, the scene was filled with overwhelming Killing Intent. The elite powerhouses of Di Mo Palace, like a swarm of locusts, instantly charged towards the Yaochi Divine Dynasty.

"Kill!"

Xiao Qingxue snorted coldly, a powerful aura spreading from her body. Then, her figure flashed as she led the charge toward Mo Jixuan.

"Yang Lingchen, no one can save you today!" Di Wuye roared. His body instantly turned into a streak of white light as he pounced toward Yang Lingchen.

"Commander, let this old man help you." After Su Qingxuan finished speaking, he blocked the path in front of Yang Lingchen, preparing to take Di Wuye's blow.

"Old Su, go deal with the others. I will handle Di Wuye myself."

Before his voice had even faded, Yang Lingchen's figure bypassed Su Qingxuan and directly met Di Wuye head-on.

As fated enemies, Yang Lingchen and Di Wuye shared the same thought: they both wanted to rely on their own abilities to finish off the other.

*Rumble...!*

The two forces collided, producing a deafening roar. In the Void Realm, a brilliant and colorful light rippled out in all directions. Yang Lingchen and Di Wuye each retreated dozens of kilometers before stabilizing their figures.

"Yang Lingchen, I didn't expect your strength to improve so quickly." Di Wuye's gaze became incredibly solemn.

He remembered that when he first saw Yang Lingchen, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level had only just broken through to the Early Stage of Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm.

Now, only a year had passed, and Yang Lingchen's cultivation level had actually reached the Mid-stage Heavenly Dao Extreme Realm. This speed of Breakthrough was truly inconceivable.

If he hadn't broken through to the Peak of the Heavenly Dao Extreme Realm, he truly might not have been Yang Lingchen's opponent.

Although Di Wuye had also broken through a minor Realm, his speed of progress was clearly inferior to Yang Lingchen's.

Because when he first met Yang Lingchen, his cultivation level was already not far from the Peak of the Heavenly Dao Extreme Realm, whereas Yang Lingchen had only just reached the Early Stage of Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm at that time.

"It's not that my cultivation level improved quickly, but that you are too much of a waste."

Yang Lingchen gave a contemptuous smile. The dragon que sword was instantly unsheathed, carrying a dazzling light as it slashed directly toward Di Wuye.

"You're quite good at talking. Do you think that alone will allow you to defeat me?"

Di Wuye sneered. He didn't take Yang Lingchen's mockery to heart. Instead, he held his battle sword and moved to meet Yang Lingchen.

At this moment, flashes of blades and shadows of swords filled the Void Realm, and streaks of Sword Qi ravaged the starry sky, tearing through the firmament.
