Chapter 435: War of the Starry Sky

"Here it comes!" Tai Bai Jin Xing's eyes brightened.

Immediately after, Jiuzhou's consciousness tossed a young figure before them.

"Who is this?" Li Jing frowned; the aura of a Heavenly Court deity, yet he seemed never to have seen such a Heavenly Court deity before.

"Mu Tianjun, a graduate of the Military Strategist!" Tai Bai Jin Xing gave a brief introduction, then greeted him warmly.

"Mu Tianjun?" Li Jing searched his mind for related information, found nothing, and his heart instantly chilled.

He is the Grand Marshal of Demon Subjugation, the commander‑in‑chief of the three armies on external campaigns.

With his current authority, not even the Heavenly Court deities—let alone a disciple of the Jade Void Palace—could arrive without obeying his orders.

In theory, all deities below the Emperor‑Lord level are assigned by him during the expedition.

Zongwang Prompt: Arrived at the Heavenly Court main army assembly point, joined the Heavenly Court expeditionary camp, disseminating relevant war information.

【Sri Sri Lanka World】

Type: Super‑large Plane.

Campaign objective: Destroy the current Plane's faction camps—Hisil Ya camp, Void camp, Nordic camp, Heaven camp, Asura camp…

Current stage mission: Establish a forward outpost, construct a teleportation channel.

Campaign background:

The Hisil Ya camp is a massive fallen empire that rules the starry sky; countless planets are under its rule. Under its oppressive tyranny, Zongwang's intervention has brought new change to this stagnant world.

Ubiquitous warfare and desperate forces have begun to invite various divine systems to intervene; the increasingly dense aura of death has attracted extraterrestrial visitors from the Void, plunging the world into chaotic war.

This world is divided among various camps.

Recently Jiuzhou also faced probing and contact from many forces; the Heavenly Court decided to dispatch an expeditionary army to cleanse this world and issue an iron‑blood warning to all camps.

Campaign rewards: Jiuzhou camp reputation, Heavenly Court related rewards, related deity favor, war loot, campaign treasure chest (settled based on player campaign rating).

Mu Yi stared at the prompt flashing on his retina, and for a moment fell into silence.

A great clash of divine systems… can this small body of mine really hold out?

But now that we're here, there's no reason to turn back.

"Mu Tianjun! Nice to see you again!" Tai Bai Jin Xing greeted with a friendly smile.

"I've met Tai Bai Jin Xing!" Mu Yi politely saluted.

"Come, come, Mu Tianjun, let me introduce you: this is the Heavenly Court's three‑army commander, Li Tian Wang!" Tai Bai Jin Xing led Mu Yi to introduce Li Jing.

"I've met Li Tian Wang!"

Recovering from the shock of his insufficient authority, Li Jing smiled faintly and nodded at Mu Yi.

Although it seemed Mu Yi was only at the level of a Giant Spirit God, being treated so warmly by Tai Bai Jin Xing and shrouded in mystery, Li Jing naturally would not idle and provoke Mu Yi.

"Mu Tianjun, this is your first participation in the Heavenly Court's expedition to the outer realms; there are some words I must say up front!"

"On the battlefield, my orders prevail; anyone who disobeys will face severe punishment from the Heavenly Court."

"Li Tian Wang, rest assured, I come from the Military Strategist, so I naturally understand the principle." Mu Yi nodded.

"Alright, Mu Tianjun, are you willing to be the vanguard?" Li Jing asked plainly.

"The vanguard's duty is to clear an area, opening a passage for the main force to enter! Once the main force arrives, they will join the campaign."

"Will you accept?"

"I gladly accept!"

Seeing Mu Yi readily take the vanguard role, Li Jing nodded with satisfaction.

"Mu Tianjun need not worry; there will be more than one senior vanguard, and we hope everyone will cooperate sincerely."

Just then, several figures descended; Ling Yunzi of the Jade Void Palace, who had once crossed paths with Mu Yi, was among them.

"Tai Bai Jin Xing, this…"

Li Jing's face turned slightly bitter; looking afar, there wasn't a single one capable of bearing the main beam.

More than half of them might not even surpass a Giant Spirit God, likely having only just entered the deity realm.

But that's understandable; the older veterans were probably already summoned by the Heavenly Court, leaving only these newcomers with the time to answer this call.

The expedition itself is hard enough; I won't have to babysit the newcomers, right?

Li Jing felt the burden on his shoulders grow threefold.

"Li Tian Wang, do not worry!" Tai Bai Jin Xing, the venerable deity, said, "Mu Tianjun is no ordinary; just relax your mind!"

Li Jing looked puzzled, but ultimately chose to trust Tai Bai Jin Xing; after all, with him here, at worst there's someone to back them up.

"Set out!"

When the deadline arrived, Li Jing waved the command banner without hesitation, issuing the order to advance.

A penetrating light began to envelop everyone; the light grew brighter, and moments later it carried everyone straight into a starry sky.

Upon arrival, everyone frowned; they all sensed the lingering scent of blood in the air, and the starry sky had become a complete life‑prohibited zone.

"A blood sacrifice of such a vast scale—has the foreign god truly gone mad to this extent?"

Li Jing furrowed his brow; Jiuzhou most strongly opposes blood sacrifices, and he did not know which foreign god caused this calamity.

Nevertheless, Li Jing, a seasoned veteran, waved the banner, and the Yellow Turban Warriors among the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals began using materials to erect altar‑like structures.

Mu Yi was somewhat surprised; he could feel that as the construction progressed, space began to ripple, continuously expanding, and gradually stabilizing.

Just as the Heavenly Court began to act, the other forces had already received news of the Heavenly Court's arrival.

"This pool is getting murkier; even Jiuzhou has joined in!"

The Archangel of the Heaven camp frowned, using prophetic methods to glimpse the Heavenly Court's formation.

"They even sent that old fellow; what on earth are they planning?" Noticing the unassuming little old man Tai Bai Jin Xing, the Archangel felt a faint pain in his neck.

Among the outer‑realm divine forces, any that have existed for a long time know just how ruthless that little old man is.

Many divine systems have been utterly ended at the hands of the opponent, a death god that the Multiverse has deployed.

Just as he frowned and observed, Taibai Jinxing lifted his head, as if looking at him through precognition, without making any movement.

A platinum-colored sword qi pierced the void, directly bombarding the archangel's true form.

Amidst the ruins, the archangel stumbled to his feet, his face extremely grim; the other's undisguised contempt also made him furious.

"Damn old man! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"Pass the order, launch the Apocalypse! Target, the Heavenly Court of Jiuzhou!"

"I want to see, old man, how much strength you have left!"

Countless angels, under the archangel's summoning order, began to gather, openly charging toward the Heavenly Court.

Anyway, given the Heavenly Court's style, they couldn't avoid a battle in the end, so they might as well wipe out these people before the great army arrives.

It wasn't just the heavenly host that moved; many pantheons also did not want the Jiuzhou Heavenly Court to be dragged into this muddy water.

"The new invaders have descended, warriors of Xisi'er Ya—I have seen the invaders' destruction; fleet, sortie, defeat them, annihilate them!"

The native forces of Xisi'er Ya also reacted immediately; as the various camps began to gather, countless star warships assembled and headed likewise for the storm's center.

……

"Looks like there are quite a few old friends!" Li Jing sighed; from the moment they appeared, countless gazes fell upon them.

"Formation"

Li Jing awakened the Great Army Cloud; dense golden auspicious clouds enveloped the troops, making every heavenly soldier and general resemble golden-armored war gods.

From the moment they were discovered, various vicious spells and curses never ceased.

"Heh, this time they're really enthusiastic!"

After discovering that the Great Army Cloud could not completely block the influence, Li Jing also sacrificed his pagoda, covering the altar with it; no matter what, the altar's construction must not be affected.

"All you vanguards, attack! I will lead the army to hold the central command; you destroy the enemy in whatever way you like!" At Li Jing's order, the myriad heavenly immortals and deities surged forth.

On the other side of the starry sky, countless enemies have appeared; they may come from different factions, but their target is now Jiuzhou.

"Law of Heaven and Earth!"

With a roar, a towering figure appeared in the starry void—the attacker was the Giant Spirit God.

Even though Mu Yi had seen many such giants before, he still couldn't help feeling astonished.

Though capable of serving as a backdrop for various great deities, the Giant Spirit God is actually not weak, yet every opponent he faces is excessively heaven-defying.

The massive axe split the void, a huge shadow falling, smashing down upon the enemy of unknown race before him.

Like an eraser, it wiped out a large swath of enemies; such mighty power left even Mu Yi in awe.

Often, size does not represent combat power, but a huge physique guarantees it won't be particularly weak.

"Hmph, don't underestimate the Giant Spirit God; though he only knows Law of Heaven and Earth, he has already reached its peak—aside from those emperor-level beings, no one can match his Law of Heaven and Earth."

Ling Yunzi didn't know what purpose he harbored, yet he followed behind Mu Yi.

The massive Giant Spirit God became the primary focus of concentrated fire, yet most attacks felt like tickling him, having essentially no effect.

On the contrary, it provoked the Giant Spirit God's ferocity; his two great axes danced, whipping up a tremendous magical vortex that swept away countless enemies.

Just as the Giant Spirit God was slaughtering wildly, the true enemy began to surface from slumber.

Countless light particles converged, suddenly erupting in violent spatial fluctuations; the next moment, a colossal being no smaller than the Giant Spirit God burst forth from within.

The two colossal beings collided, causing countless ripples.

Along with the emergence of the colossal being, other deities also began to appear one after another.

"Yo, Abyss Demon, we really have some fate!"

Mu Yi couldn't help laughing aloud at the sight of the great host of enemies before him; indeed, in such a chaotic world, how could there be a lack of these chaotic demons?

Abyss Demon Lord-Keliwatesi, his dark-red pupils filled with shock.

"Impossible, how could you be here!"

"You actually know me?" Mu Yi felt somewhat surprised; normally, Abyss Demons would at most regard him as a bounty target, but this one clearly recognized him.

Abyss Demon Lord-Keliwatesi hesitated not at all, turning and fleeing; he certainly knew Mu Yi—he had died at the hands of those saviors in the Dark Gate battle, personally witnessing Mu Yi's display of divine might.

Having barely revived from the Abyss, it now ran into this killing god and certainly did not wish to die.

Yet the instant it turned to run, a scarlet claw seized it.

Its expression grew even more terrified, for it had been grasped by an Abyss Demon God.

"Keliwatesi! Abyss Demons do not flee battle!"

"No… my lord, give me another chance!"

Abyss Demon Lord-Keliwatesi then suddenly recalled that this was not a battle in the material realm, but in the starry void.

Here, deities can also fight with their full strength.

And their actions will exceed those controlled by the Abyss Demon God.

"Hmph!" The dark-red claw clenched tightly, crushing the Abyss Demon Lord into a lump of flesh and stuffing it into its own mouth.

Mu Yi watched the Abyss Demon's scene—like internal strife—without much disturbance; Abyss Demons are just brainless, their behavior extremely chaotic.

However, this Abyss Demon God before him is quite formidable, worth killing.

It seemed to sense Mu Yi's killing intent, as a frenzied aura burst from the Abyss Demon God, violently colliding with Mu Yi's own momentum.

An intangible shockwave swept the surroundings, grinding everything within range to powder; countless Abyss Demons were blasted to death by its aftershock.

Ling Yunzi was likewise shoved back by the shockwave, his face somewhat surprised as he looked at Mu Yi; last time they met, Mu Yi could only rely on the great army to fight him, but now Mu Yi has become strong beyond his imagination.

Mu Yi lifted the Great Summer Dragon Sparrow, his mighty aura turning extremely violent, like an ancient feral god.

The next moment, Mu Yi crossed space, appearing before the Abyss Demon God, and brought down the Great Summer Dragon Sparrow with a violent swing, his brutal killing intent rising madly.

"Boom!"

Everything around trembled, and the Abyss Demon God began to roar.

The instant Mu Yi vanished, it sensed the spatial fluctuation, yet it could not prevent the opponent from appearing.

The massive demonic body was sliced open by scarlet Inner Qi; the will that cuts everything instantly destroyed the various defenses fixed on its surface; the sturdy body could not stop the blade, directly carving a huge wound on the Abyssal Demon God's body.

In the next moment, the Abyssal Demon God's surface erupted in roaring flames, as if it intended to bury itself and Mu Yi together in the fire.

Mu Yi withdrew, and he would not overlook an Abyssal Demon God; before he was certain of the opponent's abilities, he would not rashly engage in an exchange of wounds.

The abilities of the Multiverse are countless; in a peer-to-peer confrontation, one must never underestimate them.
