249: The army is approaching the Heavenly Dragon Empire

Subconsciously, Ji Mo regarded the Heavenly Dragon Empire as his homeland.

Furthermore, he already had a good relationship with the Emperor, and the Lu Family's dispatch of troops was entirely because of him; how could he stand by and watch?

"Husband, if you need it, our Moon Palace can contribute."

"My White Alliance can also mobilize a portion of its strength."

Yan Qingcheng and Su Yuexin both had their hearts set on Ji Mo, holding nothing back.

Nangong Xue'er and Shangguan Yanran also looked at Ji Mo with concern.

He chuckled, "Why are you all so serious? Don't worry, with my current strength, there's no one in this Plane that I fear."

"You all should Cultivate well here. I hope that when I return, all of you will have advanced to the Imperial Rank."

Seeing him so confident, the women finally relaxed.

Boundless Sea Region, where the Lu Family is located.

Since issuing the Order of Expedition (Conquest Order), the Lu Family had arranged a large number of vanguard troops, all of whom were household slaves raised by the Lu Family.

These people were all cannon fodder, their cultivation base not high, and they were targeting the Empire's army.

There were hundreds of thousands of these people, marching mightily towards the Heavenly Dragon Empire.

The Lu Family had already announced rewards: anyone who killed an important figure of the Heavenly Dragon Empire would be given an opportunity for exceptional promotion by the Lu Family.

This reward was an unimaginable fortune to them, and they all rushed towards the Heavenly Dragon Empire like hungry wolves.

A Plane Overlord naturally possessed the might of a Plane Overlord; a million-strong army swept across the entire sea region.

Wherever they passed, everyone felt insecure and trembled, fearing that these people would casually deal with them.

Such a massive upheaval was naturally detected by the Heavenly Dragon Empire.

At this time, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, imperial grand ministers, and royal consecrators.

Carrying a large number of troops, they were amassed in coastal cities, numbering several millions.

However, their quality was certainly inferior to those of the Lu Family; a small portion were Innate Martial Artists, while the rest were at the Acquired Realm.

To be honest, they were only there to boost morale; they served no other purpose.

Soon, at the edge of the sea region, where heaven and earth met.

In a daze, a huge tide seemed to appear.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a tide at all, but countless people, densely packed like a tidal wave.

Below them, thousands of giant warships slowly sailed closer.

In an instant, the sounds of battle cries echoed across this heaven and earth.

"Kill! Kill!...

"The chance to earn merit has arrived! They're mine, all mine! Don't snatch my kills!"

"Get lost! The elders said whoever kills first gets it!"

"I don't want kills, I just want to taste what the Emperor's women are like."

"Hahaha, I had the same idea..."

'...'

These people rushed in like wolves and tigers, and the entire area completely turned into a battlefield.

"Beat the drums, meet the enemy, exterminate these scoundrels in front of us!"

His Majesty the Emperor's gaze was cold, filled with hatred and killing intent.

"Soldiers of the Empire, pick up your weapons and slay the enemies before you! Every man in my Heavenly Dragon Empire is like a Dragon; we would rather die standing than live kneeling!"

"I shall live and die with you all! Kill!"

"Kill..." The warriors, though afraid, were still infected by the Emperor's passion.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!...

On the city wall, a strong, bare-chested man picked up his twin hammers and vigorously struck the beast-skin war drum.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

The enemies drew closer, and the sound of tearing air came. Protective Aura surged across the sky, occasionally revealing a large number of Saint Rank experts.

On the Heavenly Dragon Empire's side, without the Emperor needing to say more, a large number of generals soared into the sky.

With just one command from His Majesty the Emperor, these generals would rush forward to fight the enemy.

"Kill!...

In such a tragic atmosphere, His Majesty the Emperor's eyes turned blood red as he issued the battle command.

All the generals charged forward, and at this moment, countless figures were densely packed.

Palm shadows, leg shadows, sword light, saber glow, like a violent storm, filled the entire sky.

"Bang! Poof!...

Sounds of flesh and blood exploding were everywhere, and a rain of blood fell from the sky, staining this sea region red.

Most of those killed were soldiers of the Heavenly Dragon Empire.

Countless generals' eyes turned blood red, and they soared into the sky, seeking revenge for their soldiers.

In a clash of millions of people, any Martial Skill was useless; it was all a brutal contest of cultivation base and Realm.

The Lu Family's people clearly had an advantage in cultivation base, each fearless of death, fighting for their own future.

Screens of Holy Light rose out of thin air, and countless soldiers formed arrays, barely able to weaken the Lu Family's offensive.

This battle lasted a full day and night. Countless corpses fell into the sea, devoured by the Yao Beasts below.

Of the Heavenly Dragon Empire's millions of soldiers, only half remained, while the Lu Family's household slaves lost at most a quarter.

Realm cannot be compensated by numbers.

"That's enough, we've dragged it out long enough. The message must have been sent out.

It's time to send Saint Rank experts into battle to give them some pressure."

On a warship, an Imperial Rank expert spoke to the others.

On the Lu Family's side, hundreds of beams of Holy Light soared into the sky, their condensed might illuminating this entire heaven and earth.

"The Lu Family's Saint Rank experts have made their move; prepare to defend."

The Emperor dared not be negligent, hastily gathering all the Empire's Saint Rank experts. Dozens to hundreds of Saint Rank experts fully activated the Formation Plate.

An even more powerful Saint Power shield once again enveloped all areas.

The powerful Saint Power beams condensed by hundreds of the Lu Family's Saint Rank experts poured down like a heavenly river,

Crashing violently onto the Saint Power protective shield. Fortunately, with the Formation Plate's enhancement, this powerful attack only created ripples.

Producing countless tiny cracks, but it did not shatter, barely resisting this wave of attacks.

Seeing this, His Majesty the Emperor's expression became solemn.

"The enemy's Saint Rank numbers are too vast. We only have a hundred here, and the Formation Plate is already tottering under this attack. Next, we can only fight to the death."

"Boom..."

Outside, continuous pillars of Saint Power relentlessly smashed against the Holy Light shield.

"Crack~ crack~ crack..."

The Holy Light shield finally couldn't bear it and shattered.

"Hehehe, kill! Glory and beauties are right before us! Charge with me!"

Countless people followed these Saint Rank experts, swarming into the Heavenly Dragon Legion.

"All Saints, follow me to slay the enemy!"

His Majesty the Emperor took the lead, a treasure pagoda suspended above his head, wielding his sword to meet the enemy. The sword light was dazzling, and those lower-ranked Saint Rank experts were cut down with a single strike.

Screams constantly rang out, some from the fallen of the Lu Family, some from the fallen of the Empire.

"Your Majesty, this old minister will go ahead first!"

A grand minister by the Emperor's side was besieged by multiple people, pulverized, leaving only a single sentence for the Emperor.

"Ah! You all deserve to die!"

The Emperor was enraged, burning his Saint Power, and several more Saint Rank experts around him were killed.

Alas, the deceased grand minister could not be revived, dying tragically on the spot.

"Kill, my lords! Today, there is no escape from death! Bring out the Emperor Weapon!"

The Emperor had always been reluctant to use the Emperor Weapon, wanting to stall for time, awaiting Ji Mo's arrival.

Now, there was no choice. Even if it prematurely alerted the enemy's Imperial Rank experts, he had to act, otherwise, his own people would be annihilated.

"Boom!"
