Chapter 52: Great Collapse

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the side of Wujian Gate, many White-faced Jiao Grand Formations suddenly collapsed on their own—not suicide; the True Immortals who formed those formations dispersed, and soon regrouped in hundreds, entering the Heavenly God Puppets that had long been hidden inside Cave Heaven Treasures.

Heavenly God Puppet!

Heavenly God Puppets may be weaker than a White-faced Jiao Grand Formation, but two or three of them can entangle one White-faced Jiao Grand Formation.

And when a White-faced Jiao Grand Formation disintegrates, it can instantly spawn eighteen Heavenly God Puppets!

This back-and-forth instantly caused the Wujian Gate's forces to surge dramatically.

In fact, if Heavenly God Puppets were not hard to forge and limited in number, Wujian Gate's troops would have already reached a terrifying level.

"Is this Mo Zhu's trump card?" Red Bright Daozu squinted, as if that were all there was.

At that moment—

In the Red Bright Realm, a surge of power suddenly erupted.

Pfft.

A disciple of Red Bright Daozu, True Immortal Xue Wu, was suddenly pierced by a sword; Pure Yang True Immortals are fragile, and the sword's power at that moment reached the pinnacle True Immortal level, so she was almost instantly annihilated.

"Junior sister Xue Wu?"

At this moment, nearby Summer Emperor and others were all stunned, their eyes about to burst.

Because the attacker was another disciple of Red Bright Daozu, Eternal Green Sword Immortal.

"I've been waiting for a long time."

Eternal Green Sword Immortal's gaze flashed with a certain frenzy; he shifted his form and instantly moved toward a battlefield, of course to support the Wujian Gate side.

Eternal Green Sword Immortal is one of Wujian Gate's trump cards; he had long ago secretly defected.

Simultaneously—

Swish!

Divine Archer Dong Zhe also arrived above Eight Dragon Cloud City.

He unhesitatingly drew his bow, and the arrow, besides bearing fourth-tier heart power, also carried a pitch‑black force.

This is the "Chaos Dao Fruit" that the Dao Ancestor forged by sacrificing his own insight into the Chaos Celestial Dao, allowing Dong Zhe to greatly amplify an arrow's might—stronger than Zhou Yu's previous all‑out "One Sword".

At that moment, Red Bright Daozu stared at the treacherous Eternal Green Sword Immortal, his gaze ice‑cold.

But he still said to Dong Zhe: "Dong Zhe, ignore that traitor and first strike the Wujian Gate's main force."

Red Bright Daozu understood that Dong Zhe's arrows were limited; killing a traitor might be satisfying, but it would not compare to massive damage to Wujian Gate's troops.

Dong Zhe, hearing this, did not hesitate; his arrow burst forth, and in the next instant a Bi Fang Grand Formation was pierced straight through, killing nearly two thousand True Immortals in the blink of an eye.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

Dong Zhe kept firing arrows, continuously inflicting casualties on the Wujian Gate camp.

Meanwhile, the Wujian Gate side, bolstered by the sudden influx of numerous Heavenly God Puppets, also besieged the Red Bright Realm's army, and the treacherous Eternal Green Sword Immortal displayed formidable strength, not far behind Summer Emperor, causing Red Bright Daozu considerable trouble.

"Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Kill them!"

Both sides were bloodshot with killing, and no one could retreat; a retreat would turn into a disastrous rout.

But soon, a turning point emerged.

The Three-Eyed Demon God, which had been fiercely entangled with Zhou Yu, finally could not hold on and began to retreat; Swallow Heaven Great Sage was extremely unwilling, but Zhou Yu's spacetime‑combining technique was too nauseating, and with Zhou Yu's occasional bursts of heart power and divine abilities, his base strength still managed to increase a bit.

He could not parry at all in the melee; the Three-Eyed Demon God was repeatedly wounded, draining massive divine power, and if they did not retreat, the three brothers truly risked being beheaded.

At the same time, Ji Ning, who had been concealing his strength on the other side, suddenly erupted.

The Zhu Yan Grand Formation he was dueling was instantly pierced.

"We lost."

Mo Zhu Dao Ancestor watched this scene, knowing in his heart that although Dong Zhe's arrows were spent, no one could block Qian Yu Tian Shen's Heavenly God Formation, and the suddenly erupting Ji Ning was also quite troublesome.

This battle had become completely unbalanced.

"Retreat!"

Mo Zhu Dao Ancestor began issuing the retreat order.

"Pursue!"

Red Bright Daozu's side launched a ferocious pursuit, different from before.

Last time the Wujian camp withdrew in order, losses were not great, but this time both sides fought so fiercely that a retreat quickly turned into a massive rout.

That was different.

"Kill!"

Zhou Yu seized the chance, wielding the Heavenly God Formation to charge into the enemy ranks, slaughtering wildly; in the blink of an eye nearly ten thousand True Immortals and countless scattered Immortals fell by his hand.

Wujian Gate's True Immortals were already few, and Zhou Yu alone killed so many; one can imagine the scale of their loss.

Probably a third of their forces were left on the battlefield.

"After this battle, the Red Bright Realm's overall situation is settled."

Many Dao Ancestors of the Nüwa camp were watching this battle, and each nodded in their heart.

Having lost so many troops, Wujian Gate could hardly oppose Red Bright Daozu any longer; their only way out was to flee the Red Bright Realm.

In fact, at this moment Wujian Gate was indeed contemplating withdrawal.

Within a hidden space in the Three Realms.

Black Robe God King sat here, his complexion somewhat displeased.

The biggest factor in this war's defeat was that Qian Yu Tian Shen; his opponent's strength was something he had not anticipated at all.

This war, unless we reinforce troops, otherwise there is no need to continue fighting.

The Black Robe God King understood that at this moment, the large forces on both sides were mutually restraining each other; if he reinforced troops, the surplus forces from Nüwa's camp could also fill in, which would only cause the scale of this realm war to keep expanding.

The Red Bright Realm is not that important.

In the struggle for fortune, what is truly being contested is still the territory occupied by the ancient human race; they are the main component of Nüwa's camp's fortune.

The key is, Zhou Yu is indeed troublesome; without using its trump cards, the Uninterrupted Sect finds it hard to deal with Zhou Yu.

And the real trump cards are meant to be saved for future use on the decisive battlefield; using them prematurely would greatly reduce their later effectiveness, making it not worth the loss.

Although the Black Robe God King still has Yu Wei as a card, he also understands that Yu Wei cannot do anything to Zhou Yu.

After all, Yu Wei's relationship with Zhou Yu hasn't reached the point of absolute trust; letting a Heavenly Immortal deal with a Heavenly God offers hope only if the opponent is completely unprepared and possesses some kind of superweapon.

"Withdraw, this fortune struggle is still very long." The Black Robe God King thought, and was about to send a message to Mo Zhu Dao Ancestor.

However, at this moment, he suddenly received a message.

"Huh? Wu Xiao? Why is he contacting me?" The Black Robe God King was somewhat surprised.

Wu Xiao Heavenly Immortal, although merely a Heavenly Immortal, is regarded equally by many True Gods and Dao Ancestors of the Uninterrupted Sect; firstly, Wu Xiao Heavenly Immortal's master, Feng Mo, is now honored as the Lord of Myriad Demons, which is the Uninterrupted Sect's greatest confidence for launching war.

Even if they ultimately lose, the Dao Ancestors of the Uninterrupted Sect believe Feng Mo can lead them away; during the ancient destruction, when Nüwa herself broke through to a higher realm and personally acted, she could not catch him—his escape ability is truly extravagant.

Furthermore, the Uninterrupted Sect's greatest trump card—puppets—are actually all made by this Wu Xiao Heavenly Immortal; one could say his importance surpasses that of most True Gods and Dao Ancestors.

Although the Black Robe God King is currently in a bad mood, since Wu Xiao Heavenly Immortal contacted him, he still wants to meet him.

PS: Yesterday I made a mistake somewhere; the protagonist's spatial power plus mental power plus divine abilities are far less than thirty percent of a True God Dao Ancestor's might, not even one tenth; at first someone reminded me I hadn't reacted yet, I replied with a bunch of errors, sorry.
