Chapter 960

「The Spirit Martial Emperor has ascended to the upper realm? Today he must die! 」

Luo Jin Laozi's voice was filled with a kind of ruthlessness and coldness.

For a moment, in this region of the Gu Palace starry sky, numerous powerful figures prostrated themselves and knelt, gazing in the direction where Luo Jin Laozi's projection departed, and the crowd murmured.

「The ancestor actually personally unleashed the power of his projection to exterminate the Spirit Martial Emperor! 」

「The Spirit Martial Emperor's restoration naturally cannot allow him to return to his peak! 」

「Back when the Spirit Martial Emperor descended to the lower realm, it was Luo Jin Laozi who joined forces with other ancestors and the powerhouses of Gu Origin Heaven to attack her, severing her Yang Dao! 」

In an instant, Luo Jin Laozi's massive body departed, traversing the endless starry sky; his red hair floated in the void, and wherever he passed, the gloomy, deathly silent eerie power surged.

Merely a single projection's power caused the starry sky it swept over to boil, as if heaven and earth's laws were collapsing; Dao patterns continually flickered out and then dissipated.

Everyone felt even the World Tree trembling!

In the Xuanji Holy Lord's eyes was reflected an utterly terrifying image, and her heart was somewhat shaken.

A powerhouse of Luo Jin Laozi's caliber is truly too terrifying!

「Boom—! 」

In other star seas of the heaven-domain where the Gu Palace resides, other powerful auras also surged.

Everyone was directly shocked.

When their supreme ancestor acted, merely the aura of Dao Resonance caused the eerie power in the starry sky to boil!

And in another direction, in the land of Gu Origin Heaven, golden radiant divine splendor likewise surged toward Everlasting Heaven.

「Crack! 」

The starry sky had become extremely unstable, constantly shattering; the aura of gu creatures was all too obvious, and this time it seemed that battle gu had descended.

Battle gu, born for war, rests only in death!

This is an extremely important gu creature of the Gu Clan!

It can directly boost the host's combat power by more than tenfold!

A Gu Clan expert clad in a white robe, his face brimming with endless killing intent, though his cultivation naturally falls short of Luo Jin Laozi and the like, yet by relying on the power of battle gu, he stubbornly produced a vast heavenly might!

Someone cried out in alarm, 「He is Bai Loulan! 」

Bai Loulan, a Dao Void Realm powerhouse of Gu Origin Heaven!

Everyone saw the endless hatred and killing intent on Bai Loulan's person, as if he harbored a deep grudge against Yang Ling'er.

Bai Loulan continuously traversed the void, his boundless battle intent sweeping across heaven and earth like a vast sea, leaving everyone utterly astonished.

On another side, Luo Jin Laozi's projection power traversed the void, and he had already contacted Huang Zhen, the Lord of Azure Abyss Heaven.

「Huang Zhen, immediately bring men to attack Everlasting Heaven! 」

This was spoken in a commanding tone!

In the eyes of the Lord of Azure Abyss Heaven, they and the Gu Clan, as well as the Gu Palace, are cooperating.

But in their eyes, they regard Azure Abyss Heaven as a mere lackey!

Within Azure Abyss Heaven, Huang Zhen, wearing a dragon robe, sat upright in the great hall and heard this voice.

A hint of ferocity appeared on his face.

Earlier, he naturally also witnessed the heaven-and-earth phenomena of Everlasting Heaven, knowing that the Spirit Martial Emperor had returned.

But now the Gu Palace elder, using this tone, commanded him to act, filling him with anger.

He considered himself an ally of the Gu Palace, not a slave or a lackey!

But the Gu Palace's Luo Jin Laozi had already issued an order, so he could only act.

「Issue the order: Sun Qinghou shall lead our Azure Abyss Army to the border of Everlasting Heaven and commence battle! 」

Sun Qinghou was Huang Zhen's loyal hound; upon hearing Huang Zhen's voice transmission, he immediately manifested an illusory form and knelt in the void.

His features were ordinary, yet his eyes held a hint of sinister cunning, making him appear somewhat lewd.

「Your Majesty, I will bring men right away! But this battle, I fear, will not be easy! 」

Sun Qinghou is a one-star Dao Void Realm cultivator, and he also feels somewhat uneasy.

He has come this far treading on thin ice; to become Huang Zhen's favored subordinate relies not on strength but on gauging Huang Zhen's thoughts.

After all, there are plenty of high-star Dao Void Realm cultivators in Azure Abyss Heaven; what merit or ability does he have to rise to his current position?

Huang Zhen saw through Sun Qinghou's thoughts and immediately said, 「What do you think? Luo Jin Laozi's projection power has already been unleashed; how much combat strength do you have」

Sun Qinghou immediately understood, realizing the true intention of the Azure Abyss Heaven's lord.

However, going to the battlefield this time, I fear it will be more ominous than auspicious!

Yet Sun Qinghou still gave the order, taking part of the Sun family troops and part of the Azure Abyss Army to inscribe a supreme spatial formation pattern.

「Boom! 」

Terrifying spatial undulations surged.

「Such heaven-defying spatial Dao patterns are still thanks to Gu Origin Heaven and the Gu Palace for being laid down. But now the stronger this spatial formation pattern, the quicker I will meet my death! Damn! Truly a clash of immortals, we poor folk suffer! I still want to live a few more years! 」

And at this moment, within Everlasting Heaven.

Qi Chun Jing gripped his long blade tightly; his sword intent pierced the heavens, transforming into a vast sea that wound between heaven and earth, and he gave a single command: 「Form ranks, all troops! 」

The blade qi directly spanned millions of li, lying across heaven and earth like a military order.

「Boom boom boom! 」

Vast numbers of Everlasting Heaven's troops surged forth, these soldiers' faces all bearing boundless battle intent and killing intent.

Swallowing myriad miles like a tiger!

Numerous soldiers all knelt toward Yang Ling'er, 「Respectfully welcoming Your Majesty's return! 」

「Thud! 」

「Thud! 」

Like a tide!

Their armor trembled, emitting a resonant, sharp sound that shook heaven and earth.

Yang Ling'er raised her jade hand, her face bearing the majesty of an empress, "Everyone rise."

Her gaze swept over the crowd; these soldiers, just as in the past, were born for war.

It seems that after she descended to the lower realm, Qi Chunjiang governed the Everlasting Heaven, and the training's effect was not bad.

Beside her, Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed.

Green Hill, Ah Li and the two of them also had somewhat solemn expressions, their deep eyes reflecting myriad stars.

They never expected that just upon ascending to the upper realm, they would encounter such a terrifying war!

Although the strong ones of the Guile Palace and the Gu Clan have not yet descended, they can already faintly sense those two terrifying auras.

That is a completely different power of the Great Dao!

Too powerful!

Ye Chen, Xiao Yaoyouzi and several others also became somewhat solemn.

Before, they had already felt the pressure of the Dao-Seeking Realm in the lower realm, but compared to this power, it's completely insignificant.

At this moment.

Qi Chunjiang looked at Yang Ling'er and said, "Your Majesty, I will have Zhang Liao bring you to a safe place first! You must absolutely not come to harm."

Yang Ling'er nodded.

Zhang Liao, clad in heavy armor, stepped through the void, and a divine rainbow appeared beneath his feet.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Yang Ling'er and company stepped onto the divine rainbow, and together with Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen and others arrived at a garrison!

Here, Dao patterns are densely spread, and also the blade aura previously laid down by Qi Chunjiang, making it indestructible!

Qi Chunjiang held a long blade, spanning the firmament above, his gaze solemn, already prepared for the great battle.

Blade intent reaches the heavens!

Killing intent fully revealed!

He looked at Yang Ling'er, "Your Majesty, since your whereabouts have been exposed, then let the Everlasting Heaven welcome your return!"

The sound fell!

The entire Everlasting Heaven immediately boiled up!
