Chapter 944: Angest

"Kill!"

At the same time as Yuer the Great God acted, he lightly waved his hand, and a blessing descended from the Heavenly Realm, greatly boosting the morale of the Zi Yun Empire's army.

The Zi Yun Empire's army began a furious counterattack.

The numerical advantage of the Zi Yun Empire's army came into play.

Even though their first line had been shattered by a massive barrage of crossbow bolts and explosive flame from countless flying warships, and after repositioning, had been struck by the Flame Empire's main force, their new first line now faced total collapse.

But they still had one full line—over a hundred intact ten-thousand-man battle formations.

That meant over a million troops!

Moreover, half of the warriors in their initial shattered line had suffered no injuries and now regrouped to join the battlefield.

These warriors were the strongest in strength.

They quickly organized an effective counteroffensive, momentarily halting the Flame Empire's advance.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the Archmages began to gather—some took up defensive positions, others launched attacks, swiftly reversing the tide.

Yet the reason these winged beings could fully suppress them was because one of them was an Eighth-Rank Mia!

Under Mina's leadership, numerous powerful winged warrior units executed pinpoint breakthroughs, inflicting heavy casualties on the Archmages!

The battles between Legendary and Forbidden Spell-level forces continued.

But none of these compared to the tremors caused by the Saint Realm battles!

The Nine Divine Manifestations—four of them carried Saint Realm power, one of which was even Second Rank Saint Realm.

The other five, though lacking Saint Realm power, as Divine Manifestations, could still unleash power threatening to a Saint Realm!

The Nine Divine Manifestations, together with Saint Realm Gabriel, all turned their attacks upon Mengying and the three women!

In an instant, the entire sky was filled with terrifying energy fluctuations.

Had the Saint Realm battlefield not been located at an extremely high altitude, their battle's ripples would have killed hundreds of thousands below!

And even a single Forbidden Spell, if accidentally drawn into that battlefield, would likely be crushed!

"Hah! You're finished!"

On the sandship, the Zi Yun Empire's Imperial Prince laughed loudly again.

"Strange—why hasn't their god intervened yet?"

From another elegant sandship came a hoarse voice.

This was Hai Laofuren, the Zi Yun Empire's other Saint Realm, who had always refused to act.

Strictly speaking, Hai Laofuren was not a Saint Realm of the Zi Yun Empire; she had only agreed to act for the Zi Yun Divine Lord a few times, because the Zi Yun Divine Lord had once bestowed power to save her, and she had already acted twice for him—now only one act remained.

Beside Hai Laofuren, the veiled girl Luo Yi gazed curiously at the war among the Saint Realms above.

"Master, which side do you think will win?"

Luo Yi asked.

Hai Laofuren shook her head: "Impossible to say!"

"I'll block—prepare your attacks!"

In the sky, Mengying saw the overwhelming assault bearing down, drew a deep breath, then swung her hands and twisted sharply.

The space before Mengying was twisted.

This was a distorted space formed by Mengying's manipulation of spatial rules.

The torrential, terrifying attacks were trapped within the distorted space and entirely blocked.

Single-handedly, she had blocked every single attack.

The power and tenacity of spatial rules was evident.

But Mengying's expenditure was also immense.

"See how long you can hold out—will your god behind you still not act? Heh, is he just another fake god, like the Goddess of Eternal Night?"

Yuer the Great God's manifestation sneered.

He was, after all, a Great God-level deity!

But Mengying's words—"you're not worthy"—had deeply stung him.

Even a peak Third-Tier Divine Lord would never dare say Yuer the Great God was unworthy to meet him!

With Yuer the Great God's power, he would be welcomed in any Divine System built by a peak Third-Tier Divine Lord!

He might even be qualified to join some Fourth-Tier deity's Divine System!

Of course, if a commoner had said those words, Yuer the Great God might not even bother—his church would have given the offender a lifetime-remembered lesson.

But Mengying was no commoner—Mengying was a powerful Second-Stage Saint Realm.

That was the true reason Yuer the Great God was so deeply provoked.

As he spoke, Yuer the Great God and the other Eight Divine Manifestations launched another wave of attacks.

This time, they even wielded the power of rules.

Terrifying attacks surged once more toward Mengying and the three women.

At the same time, Lucine and Sister Qing Ling launched their attacks.

But the enemy was too numerous—her two attacks were blocked by two Divine Manifestations.

Mengying said nothing, once again using spatial rules to block the Nine Divine Manifestations' attacks.

"You can't hold!"

Yuer the Great God said coldly.

Mengying's expression changed slightly, for as the Nine Divine Manifestations simultaneously activated rule-based power, her distorted space truly could not hold.

In mere moments, her distorted space was directly ruptured by the Nine Divine Manifestations' attacks!

Though her face changed, her mind remained utterly calm—at the critical moment, her instant magic once again proved decisive.

Meng Ying waved both hands, casting several defensive spells in succession, blocking every attack that surged through the distorted space!

"Truly a fine seedling, but this is no longer your battlefield. If your gods don't show themselves now, this round of attacks will be the end of you."

A chilling coldness seeped into the Great God Yurl's voice.

The instant his words fell, his expression changed.

Because, from behind the Flame Empire's army, a terrifying surge of magical energy was rushing wildly toward them.

The enemy had arrived far too quickly!

So quickly that the Great God Yurl had only just sensed their movement when they were already closing in on this battlefield!

And the aura radiating from them was terrifyingly powerful—even the Great God Yurl's combat avatar at the second stage of the Holy Domain felt an intense threat!

The Great God Yurl raised his head and saw, in the distance, a woman whose face was veiled in a faint mist, her expression cold and aloof, charging toward them at extreme speed.

"Another Holy Domain!"

The Great God Yurl's combat avatar murmured.

Beside the Great God Yurl, the combat avatars of the other eight great gods likewise sensed the disturbance caused by that woman's arrival.

"The opponent's strength is considerable—likely an enemy rather than a friend. Be careful!"

The Great God Yurl's combat avatar said in a low, grave voice.

That woman came on far too quickly—so quickly that before the Great God Yurl could finish speaking, she had already flown above the Holy Domain battlefield.

So quickly that, apart from those at the Holy Domain level, even beings at the Legendary level had not yet managed to sense the disturbance of her arrival!

"You there..."

The Great God Yurl's combat avatar was about to address this woman who had stirred such strong wariness in him, when he saw her suddenly charge toward one of the divine avatars.

That divine avatar, seeing her rush over, summoned all its power to launch an attack, but the woman didn't dodge or evade in the slightest—with a light wave of her jade-like hand, she scattered every attack.
