Chapter 885: with translation of chapter title

With the arrival of the Five Alliances and Ten Merchant Guilds, various combat supplies began to be distributed into the hands of each cultivator.

Pills, talisman seals, formation disks, magical artifacts—nothing was withheld.

Some loose cultivators, upon receiving so many pills and talisman seals, were completely dumbfounded.

"So much?"

Even on ordinary days, these loose cultivators had never seen so many pills and talisman seals.

"What are you thinking? These things are meant to keep you alive on the battlefield—don't be reluctant to use them when the time comes."

Hearing these loose cultivators' remarks, the senior cultivator in charge of distributing supplies rebuked them in a low voice.

Upon hearing that, the excitement in these loose cultivators' hearts quickly faded—yes, these things were prepared for battle.

Even these loose cultivators could receive so much combat materiel, indicating how brutal the upcoming battle would be.

At the same time, inside Tianhong Guan, the Jade Pool Shèngzhǔ personally received the leaders of the Five Alliances and the Ten Merchant Guilds.

"Everyone, we will still have to rely heavily on you for this battle's material supplies."

"Shèngzhǔ, rest assured; we will surely give our all."

The Five Alliances and Ten Merchant Guilds have this time brought out all their reserves, and are already gathering all needed supplies in full force, which will continuously be shipped to Tianhong Guan to support this extermination war.

As days passed, both the Human Race and the Undying Race saw a steady stream of powerful experts rushing to the front.

The Dao Yi Shengdi and the Yunluo Holy Land also arrived at Tianhong Guan in succession.

With the arrival of the two holy lands, the momentum of the Human Race side reached its peak.

"The people of the Yunluo Holy Land............."

"The Yunluo Shèngzhǔ and three Great Emperor elders have also come."

"The Dao Yi Shengdi has also arrived."

"Four Great Emperor elders."

Numerous powerhouses from the two holy lands garrisoned Tianhong Guan; on the city walls stood Qi Xiong, the Yunluo Shèngzhǔ, the Jade Pool Shèngzhǔ, Yun Xiantai, Yu Mo, and other holy land experts.

They gazed far into the distance at the Undying Race opposite.

"Eleven Great Emperors? Indeed, they have come out in full force."

With everyone's cultivation at the Great Emperor Realm, they could naturally sense the eleven faint yet discernible Great Emperor auras hidden among the Undying Race.

Shi Qingfeng spoke lightly, while those beside him remained silent.

This time, for the Yunluo Holy Sea's arrival, none of the inner disciples showed themselves; they were all in closed-door cultivation within the Yunluo Holy Sea.

According to the result of the discussion among the Three Holy Lands, the opportunity to enter the Yunluo Holy Sea is rare and the time is short, so let everyone come after they leave seclusion.

Moreover, in a war of this scale, the number of Great Emperors already exceeds twenty; these inner disciples actually have a negligible impact on the battle situation.

Perhaps only when they reach the Great Saint Realm will they possess even a slight ability to influence the battle.

As the extermination war between the Human Race and the Undying Race arrived, not only did the two races become tense, but the entire atmosphere of Zhongzhou grew tense as well.

Other races were also watching the progress of this great war.

Among the Demon Race, a host of demon emperors closely watched the direction of Tianhong Guan.

"Should we take the opportunity to sneak attack Wan Yao Guan?"

"Wait a bit longer; the time hasn't come yet—let's talk after they suffer mutual defeat."

"Sure."

All races waited for the outbreak of the great war with a mentality of taking advantage.

This could actually have been guessed long ago, but there's nothing to be done—for now we can only focus all our efforts on dealing with the Undying Race side.

Inside Tianhong Guan, Bai Hua Xianzi and Jue Ying were also summoned back at once; aside from Grand Elder Wu Shou, who remained in Dongzhou, the Dao Yi Shengdi could be said to have dispatched all its members.

"My husband is still in the Yunluo Holy Land."

Late at night, the two women, without interest in Xiūliàn, sat chatting in the Yuàn zhōng; as for the subject of their conversation, it was naturally Ye Zhangqing without doubt.

"Do you miss your husband?"

Hearing Bai Hua Xianzi's words, Jue Ying rarely showed a smile and teased.

"You don't?"

But upon hearing that, Bai Hua Xianzi did not conceal her feelings; instead, she gave Jue Ying a white-eyed look.

This time out, Jue Ying's daily talk mostly revolved around Ye Zhangqing.

What her husband was doing, whether he missed them, and so on.

"I do miss him—I never said I didn't."

Who would have thought Jue Ying would also admit it so candidly.

Just as the two were speaking, suddenly the formation shuddered violently; the two women leapt up and their figures instantly vanished from the spot.

The formation was under attack; the Undying Race had launched an offensive.

Indeed, the originally peaceful midnight, without any warning, saw the Undying Race suddenly launch an attack.

The eleven Great Emperors acted simultaneously, their attacks fiercely bombarding the formation.

However, the Human Race's response was not slow either; at once, Yun Xiantai, the Jade Pool Shèngzhǔ, the Yunluo Shèngzhǔ, Shi Qingfeng, Yu Mo, and other Great Emperors also sprang into action.

"Come fight."

The two sides met, with no wasted words, and immediately went into battle.

Meanwhile, below, the strong warriors of both races charged forward bravely, colliding head‑on; the great war was on the verge of erupting.

Facing a war of this scale, it is naturally impossible to rely solely on the formation and remain hidden.

No matter how strong the formation, when faced with so many powerhouses, if one relied solely on its power for defense, it would eventually be breached.

Therefore, at the very moment the Undying Race launched its attack, the Human Race began its counteroffensive.

They charged straight out of the formation and engaged the Undying Race in battle.

The battle in the direction of Tianhong Guan erupted directly.

As the main battlefield, it is naturally overseen by the Three Holy Lands themselves, and the many strong ones of the two races are basically present here.

Sensing the terrifying aftershocks of battle continuously coming from the night, the strong ones of various Sects responsible for guarding other places were also stirred.

"Has it begun?"

Standing aloft, through the shroud of night, his gaze fixed firmly on the direction of Tianhong Guan.

Only to see the space there warp, the thick black clouds above the sky scattered directly by countless terrifying auras.

The pure moonlight showered down, perfectly reflecting that terrifying battle scene.

The battle finally erupted, the first clash between the two races officially opening the curtain.

Watching from afar, however, the people of the various Sects did not act rashly; they had their own duties, and at this moment it was certainly impossible to go support.

Otherwise, they would likely be seized by an opportunity from the Undying Race.

Moreover, Tianhong Guan has the Three Holy Lands garrisoned there, gathering the strongest strength of the entire Human Race.

"Let everyone be on guard."

After observing the battle at Tianhong Guan, the various Sects all issued orders to prepare for battle.

Since the Undying Race has taken action, battles could also break out here at any time.

Numerous Human Race cultivators ceased their Xiūliàn, grasping Treasure Weapons, ready at any moment to meet the battle.

On the eastern front of the Tianhong Guan battlefield, this is the area overseen by Dao Yi Shengdi.

Led by an Elder, a Steward, and an Inner Disciple, the many disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi continuously fought the Undying Race.

"Are these guys evil spirits?"

"They indeed look like that, but they have flesh and blood, and are not evil spirits."

"Never mind all that, just kill them."

"Alas, it's a pity Elder Changqing isn't here; on this battlefield, there's no soup to drink, and I always feel something's off."

"Huh???"

"What the hell, you're thinking about soup while fighting?"
