Chapter 964: The Ultimate Battle

The outside world.

Rumble!

Above the firmament of Yu Province, the radiance of technology and martial arts intertwined into a symphony that shook the heavens and moved the earth.

Countless laser turrets hidden within the clouds, mountain ranges, and deep seas suddenly awakened.

The roar of metal components locking and rotating was like the galloping of a thousand armies, and ghostly blue energy condensed at the muzzles, converging into starlit points flickering across the sky.

Countless streams of light shot forth, weaving the firmament into a tapestry of brilliant fire.

Chen Yuan's figure had been completely submerged by the firelight.

"Stop!"

The Master of Yu raised his left hand.

In an instant, the world fell silent.

The moment the firelight dissipated, the figure of the Master of Chen was no longer in the sky.

"Merely a blood-energy clone."

The Master of Yu's eyes flashed wildly, and torrents of digital data surged across his mechanical pupils.

His gaze swept across the world, attempting to capture the location of the Master of Chen's true body.

The great war had come suddenly.

Throughout the entire territory of Yu Province, countless living beings were terrified.

Boom, boom, boom!

Flying warships streaked across the void one after another.

Satellite triangular bodies lined up in formation, emitting humming energy fluctuations, like countless electronic eyes opening in the sky, locking onto the core of the battlefield.

On the ground, the sound of giant mecha joints rotating shook the earth, forming an encirclement from above and below with the weapon arrays in the firmament.

Boom, boom, boom!

Powerful experts of the Yu Clan, clad in mechanical armor, flew into the high heavens, gazing in all directions.

"Chen Yuan acts against the heavens, causing the tragedy of Ten Thousand Phases Island, leaving Chen Province without a provincial light for a thousand years, and providing an opportunity for the Ancient Gods to awaken!

He has incited internal strife among the human race and conspired with the Ancient Gods; his crimes are unforgivable!"

The Master of Yu's voice was heavy:

"Today, Great Xia stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the Five Clans; we shall surely annihilate Chen Yuan!"

His voice resounded downward, as if carrying a violent murderous intent.

It broadcasted the news of the great war to the entire human world.

Countless living beings gaped in disbelief.

They had not expected it to come so suddenly.

Even the news of the cooperation between the Five Clans and Great Xia could only be accepted within a short time.

"That seems to be the Master of Elements!"

Someone exclaimed in disbelief.

"I have seen the portraits; it is indeed the Master of Elements from the time of Great Xia's founding!"

"The Master of Elements is in our Yu Province!"

"Heavens, it really is the Master of Elements!"

Exclamations rang out one after another.

Countless people looked at the Master of Elements, awe appearing in their eyes.

That was a deity from the time of the founding, the daughter of the Master of Blood-Energy; they had not expected her to appear in Yu Province.

As for within the four provinces of Chen, Chi, Ji, and Lu.

Countless living beings gazed on in disbelief.

"The Master of Elements has appeared, and the Yu Clan has also betrayed us; is my Chen Province going to fall?"

"Impossible, the Master of Chen is the number one of the human race; my Chen Province will not fall!"

"My Lu Province is finished!"

Despairing voices rang out one after another.

Lu Province.

Inside a magnificent palace.

"Lu Province will not go."

Lu Jianxia sat on the throne of the Master of Lu, her voice cold.

"Lu Jianxia, I did not come here to request, but to command."

Inside the palace, Chen Youqing's eyes were cold as she looked at Lu Jianxia on the throne.

"I said, Lu Province will not go."

Chen Youqing narrowed her eyes.

In the hall, a group of Lu Province experts looked at each other, and one looked at Lu Jianxia and scolded coldly:

"Princess Jianxia, you disappeared for a long time, and now that you have suddenly appeared, have you defected to Great Xia?"

Lu Jianxia stood up:

"If you wish to go, you may go."

She looked at the crowd:

"I cannot stop you from going to your deaths; I only know that the greatest enemy of the human race right now is the Ancient Gods who are about to awaken."

Lu Jianxia turned around, unwilling to say more, as a look of exhaustion flashed across her brow.

"In that case, I, Lu He, am off!"

"Now that the Master of Lu has passed away, we in Lu Province already have no say within the Five-Race Alliance; if we do not respond to the call of the Master of Chen, I fear we will have no say at all in the future."

"I do not believe the Ancient Gods will awaken; why should I believe whatever the Master of Yu says?"

"I'm not going, I'm tired; if the Ancient Gods awaken, I shall die right at my own doorstep."

"Hahaha, the human race is already in chaos, let them all die, let them die!"

Voices rang out one after another.

Some rushed out of the great hall, pursuing the Master of Chen.

Some remained, their expressions complex.

Chen Youqing's expression was unsightly:

"Lu Jianxia, this is your own choice."

Immediately, Chen Youqing's figure vanished.

Lu Jianxia turned around, her golden robes stained with the golden sunlight streaming in from outside the great hall.

With a cold expression, she sat powerlessly upon the throne and looked at those who had not left:

"Everyone, regardless of whether the Ancient Gods awaken or not, preparing in advance to arrange for the living beings of Lu Province to take refuge in the deep space of the universe is now the top priority of our Lu Province."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Inside the great hall, the experts of Lu Province bowed one by one.

At the same time.

Rumble!

Above the firmament.

Countless strands of rule-based Qi flowed, and the supreme pressure belonging to the Ninth Rank descended continuously.

Xia Hanzhou sat cross-legged in the center of the Sea of Rules, the Qi on his body growing increasingly powerful.

Whether it was personally slaying a supreme Ancient God Beast to ascend, or using the Soul of the Life Chapter.

Ascending to the Ninth Rank meant becoming the true supreme being of the mortal world.

Roar!

Nine golden thunderbolts exploded from Xia Hanzhou, transforming into coiling dragon shadows that roared downward.

Xia Hanzhou's white hair danced wildly, his robes flapping like a flag, and thousands of fine blood-red patterns emerged all over his body.

Strands of life-and-death Qi erupted from within his body, finally condensing before him into a deep blue blood-Qi status.

The profound essence of the Martial Dao was vast and boundless.

Countless people looked up at Xia Hanzhou as if in awe of a god.

But the eyes of the Master of Yu and the Master of Elements were exceptionally grave.

The Master of Chen—it was unknown when he would appear.

The entire void seemed to have frozen in place.

Within the nothingness.

Li Zhiyi, in red clothes and with red hair, stood holding his sword.

He kept his eyes closed, as if conserving his strength and waiting for the right moment.

Behind him stood the high-level officials of Great Xia, such as Xia Yuan, the Grand Preceptor, the Director of the Astronomical Bureau, the Little Fate-Master, and Zhang Ting.

Everyone held their breath and focused their attention.

Everyone knew that today was the moment of life or death for the human race.

Just like that day, just like now.

In Yu Province, inside a massive palace.

Zhang Huizhi wore pitch-black mechanical battle armor, and the electronic screen before his eyes continuously displayed the movement trajectories of life forms within a million-mile radius.

Suddenly.

Dots of light appeared on the screen, growing brighter and brighter.

Zhang Huizhi locked onto them rapidly.

A blood-Qi clone is not the same as the true body.

The battle armor's built-in locking function could distinguish the difference between a blood-Qi clone and the true body.

Soon.

Zhang Huizhi's eyes narrowed slightly.

This time, he had captured the true body of the Master of Chen.

Boom!

Suddenly.

A terrifying crack appeared between heaven and earth.

A figure rushed out from the crack.

Fast!

Fast to the extreme!

A sword light thrust directly at Xia Hanzhou.

The Master of Chen, in green robes, raised the invisible longsword in his hand and slashed down at Xia Hanzhou's forehead.

"Oh no!"

Someone exclaimed aloud.

【Dao Slash】: slash life, slash death, slash time, slash space.

It can be said that 【Dao Slash】 is the most powerful offensive martial art, and also a displacement martial art.

This sword thrust straight forward; Xia Hanzhou did not even react in time.

Everyone's pupils constricted wildly.

Crack!

A low sound of metal clashing rang out.

Li Zhiyi appeared out of thin air, the Xia Lord Sword in his hand erupting with a clanging sound; a slash mark fell, and it slashed back this Qi-blood clone.

At the same time.

Two more Qi-blood clones of Chen Zhu appeared; Li Zhiyi spun with the Xia Lord Sword, the sword shadows turning into a clear silver ribbon, and the two Chen Zhu clones were slashed back by half a step.

At the same time.

"Chen Yuan!"

A low man's voice rang out.

Golden light crossed over from the other side of the ocean.

Lu Xunyang raised a fist and smashed it down forcefully toward one of the Chen Zhu clones.

Boom!

Red-gold flowing fire erupted in the sky.

Lu Xunyang punched one of the Chen Zhu clones to pieces.

"Kill!!!"

Roars rang out one after another.

Existences with powerful auras crossed through spatial rifts and descended.

They were the high-level members of the Five Clans.

"Kill!"

Within the borders of Yu Province, Yu Wen and other high-level members of Yu Province roared, charging toward the arriving Five Clans experts like a flood.

The ultimate war begins today!

PS: One chapter. I don't know if it's a problem with the outline or just me today, but I had no emotion while writing it.

Without emotion, I don't know if it's good or not; it was incredibly uncomfortable to write.

It will probably end this month, brothers.

One chapter today.
