Chapter 226: Heavy Losses

Yin Jian patted his shoulder at this moment, then looked at the thousands of civil and military officials discussing fervently outside the restrictive barrier, and smiled indifferently.

"Little Yin He, then these court matters shall be left for you to handle yourself. This Seat will stay in this imperial palace until everyone has arrived, and then this Seat will begin to act!"

"Understood!"

Having said that, Yin Jian and the four of Wei Taihuang transformed into four streaks of green light and vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Yin He pondered for a while, then immediately withdrew the restrictive barrier set by the ancestor, and his figure reappeared clearly in the palace hall.

After returning to the Imperial Rice Throne, he then looked at the thousands of civil and military officials below with an indifferent expression.

"My dear ministers..."

Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

The territory of the Human Race was vast; even for the entire army of cultivators of the Dashang Dynasty, it took ten years to travel from the interior of the dynasty to the Dashang border that bordered Taixuan.

At this time.

The three great armies of Dashang, traveling day and night, finally arrived outside the defensive lines of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

At the same time.

Taking advantage of this period, the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty was also constantly in motion.

Internally, whether it was the military soldiers or the Divine Officials in various regions, all were readjusted in their respective duties under the mobilization of the Taixuan Imperial Lord.

If someone were to observe carefully, they would know.

At this time, Taixuan was not only changing generals before the battle but also withdrawing a large number of troops from various defensive lines to reinforce the Taixuan Imperial Capital...

Although a large number of Divine Generals and soldiers soon rushed from the interior of the dynasty to the front lines, this act of changing generals and troops before the battle still attracted the attention of the God Race and the Mysterious Gate.

Just as the Mysterious Gate was questioning and the God Race was investigating.

At this time, the Taixuan Imperial Lord Yin He high-profilely announced that Taixuan would fight the Dashang Dynasty to the death, and this battle would surely settle everything once and for all.

After speaking, he began to build various defensive lines on a large scale at every pass and city within the dynasty.

Besides this.

He also mobilized troops and dispatched generals in the Imperial Capital, gathering a large number of elite soldiers and Divine Officials.

It had the appearance of fighting the Dashang Dynasty to the very end.

Regarding this.

The disciples of the Mysterious Gate Three Teachings felt very happy, while the three royal courts of the God Race and the masters of many Pantheon Systems all felt very unlucky.

There was also the intention to destroy the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty in one fell swoop.

At this time.

The more than 200 trillion elites of the Dashang Dynasty had already prepared their offensive formation, and with the addition of the trillions of soldiers originally stationed at the border, the number of troops of the Dashang Dynasty this time reached as many as 300 trillion.

And the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty, relying on the defensive posture of several Great Arrays, also deployed nearly 100 trillion troops of varying strength.

It gave people a sense of a rabble.

Another few years of adjustment.

Finally, at a certain moment.

The tens of trillions of troops of Dashang, at the order of the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

The battle line stretching for tens of trillions of miles, led by dozens of First Divine Generals, crashed into the first defensive line of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

And the Taixuan first defensive line opposite them.

Within it were three core positions.

They were the Taihe Mountain territory, the Suolong Pass territory, and the Qingqiu Mountain territory, respectively.

In these three territories, the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty had each set up one or even several large array bases, supplemented by defensive array formations along the tens of trillions of miles of battle line.

Qingqiu Mountain territory.

Because of the existence of the Mysterious Gate, the Land Deities and Mountain Gods of the Mount Tai Prefecture within the territory of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty were all highly suppressed by the Mysterious Gate.

In order to prevent the more than ten Supreme Gods of the Mount Tai Prefecture from taking advantage of this to cause trouble.

The Chan Sect and the Jie Sect of the Mysterious Gate each dispatched ten mid-to-late stage Quasi-Saints, as well as thousands of Daluo Golden Immortals and hundreds of thousands of Taiyi Golden Immortals to forcibly suppress them.

Therefore.

The various Mountain Gods and Land Deities of the Mount Tai Prefecture who originally wanted to take this opportunity to launch a riot were all unable to do so.

However.

Even if they could not cause a riot in the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty, the divine power of the Mountain Gods and Land Deities still brought great influence to the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

For example.

Within the territory of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

In regions with Mountain Gods and Land Deities, personnel such as the military and warriors, excluding the common people, would suffer from various accidents.

Although the duties of the Imperial Divine Officials overlapped in some places with the powers of the Mountain Gods and Land Deities of the Mount Tai Prefecture.

But even so.

With the auxiliary correction of the Imperial Divine Officials, the Mountain Gods and Land Deities of the Mount Tai Prefecture still caused the military soldiers of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty to suffer from various natural disasters and accidents during their march and deployment.

This made many Imperial Divine Officials and cultivators who were close to the Mysterious Gate side furious.

If it weren't for the fact that the great war was coming, they might have wanted to turn their blades and wipe out those Mountain Gods and Land Deities within the dynasty together! Qingqiu Mountain God Realm.

The Qingqiu Mountain God Yin He and the Qingqiu Fox Clan's Hu Yuanling sat together, leaning on each other, quietly watching the scene of the Qingqiu Mountain territory outside through the Divine Light Technique.

In the image.

Above Qingqiu Mountain, there was one Quasi-Saint, six Daluo Golden Immortals, hundreds of Taiyi Golden Immortals, and nearly 100,000 Golden Immortals from the Mysterious Gate sitting in command.

On the surface of Qingqiu Mountain, there was one First Divine General of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty, two Daluo cultivators of the Taixuan Immortal Rice, over a hundred Second-Rank Divine Generals and Immortal Rice cultivators, and tens of thousands of Third-Rank Divine Generals and Immortal Rice cultivators.

Among them, countless imperial soldiers were stationed.

Because this Qingqiu Mountain territory contained a core array base for the defensive line, this place received key attention from both the Mysterious Gate and Taixuan.

Therefore.

Hu Bailing, the Mountain God of Qingqiu Mountain, feared that the Qingqiu Fox Clan would be implicated, so she had the entire Qingqiu Fox Clan enter her Qingqiu Divine Realm in advance.

Not only that.

There were also hundreds to thousands of Mountain Gods and Land Deities from the ninth to the fifth rank within the Qingqiu territory.

Of course! Among them, the Fox Clan Mountain Gods and Land Deities accounted for the majority.

At this moment.

Because of the presence of the disciples of the Mysterious Gate Three Teachings, not only were the Mountain Gods and Land Deities of Mount Tai Prefecture suppressed, but even the scattered Demon Clan within the territory were severely suppressed.

With the Qi Luck of the Imperial Dynasty combined with the supernatural powers and magic treasures of the Mysterious Gate, a Mysterious Gate disciple successfully accomplished the feat of defeating the strong with the weak and fighting across ranks.

For a time.

The Demon Clan within the territory that had no background or power suffered heavy losses due to the suppression! Among them.

There was the mortal enemy of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, the Jackal Demon clan.

They were nearly exterminated by the Mysterious Gate disciples.

Hu Yuanling looked at the scene outside and could not help but sigh secretly.

She immediately looked at Hu Bailing beside her and said with a look of relief.

"Little sister, it is fortunate that I have you. If you hadn't taken the initiative to go to Mount Tai Prefecture to request the divine position of Qingqiu Mountain God back then, perhaps our Qingqiu lineage would really have had its inheritance cut off this time!" Hearing this, Hu Bailing could not help but withdraw her gaze from the image of the Divine Light Technique.

She smiled faintly.

"Qingqiu Mountain is the foundation of our Qingqiu Fox Clan. From the moment the Mount Tai Prefecture system of the Earth Deity Divine Path was established, I knew the severity of its problems!"

"Therefore, our Qingqiu Mountain lineage needs to have a Mountain God, and it must be one of our own who becomes the Qingqiu Mountain God!"

After speaking, Hu Bailing paused, her gaze looking at the Divine Light Technique carrying a hint of regret.

"It's a pity..."

"Compared to the disciples of the Mysterious Gate Immortal Rice, our Fox Clan's strength is ultimately insufficient! Otherwise, how could we be so stifled!"

Speaking of Mount Tai Prefecture, Hu Yuanling could not help but think of the dozen or so Supreme God Mountain Gods, Land Deities, and Yin Gods of Mount Tai Prefecture.

And even the ancestor of Mount Tai Prefecture, Zhenyuanzi, known as the Earth Immortal Ancestor! Thinking of this, Hu Yuanling immediately asked.

"By the way, little sister, with such a big move by the Mysterious Gate this time, don't those first-rank Emperors of your Mount Tai Prefecture have any response?"

"What response could there be?"

Speaking of this, Hu Bailing also gave a bitter smile.

"Big sister doesn't know, but the Mysterious Gate First Disciple, the Human Race's Great Master Xuandu, took the Taiji Diagram, the Supreme Treasure of his Saint teacher, and in one fell swoop suppressed the gods of Mount Tai Prefecture within the borders of Mount Tai Prefecture, unable to come out."

"If it weren't for that, how could those Mysterious Gate disciples outside be so arrogant?"

Hearing this, Hu Yuanling was also shocked.

"Could it be that even the Great God Zhenyuanzi, the Mount Tai Lord, cannot contend with him?"

"That's not it, it's just that the Lord Prefecture Master has been in seclusion for a million years, and he will not come out of seclusion unless it is a matter of life and death!"

As she spoke, Hu Bailing looked at those Mysterious Gate disciples on the horizon and could not help but grit her teeth.

She said disdainfully: "If it weren't for the fact that the Lord Prefecture Master is in seclusion, how could we be bullied at will by these arrogant fellows?"

Although the Great God Zhenyuanzi, the Mount Tai Lord, is only a Sub-Saint and cannot have the vast and endless magic power like a Saint.

But his combat power is still enough to be comparable to a Proving Rice Level existence.

What's more.

Coupled with his high position in the Earth Deity Divine Court and the authority of the Mount Tai Lord and Earth Immortal Ancestor added to him, his comprehensive strength is already no weaker than the Zhunti Saint, who is known as the weakest Saint.

Therefore.

Unless necessary, the Mysterious Gate Six Saints generally will not provoke Zhenyuanzi.

After all.

Winning brings no benefits, not to mention being hostile to the gods and immortals of Mount Tai Prefecture, and one would also be labeled as using power to oppress others, losing face.

Losing...

Of course, it doesn't mean it's necessarily a loss.

For a Saint, failing to take down an enemy who is not a Proving Rice existence for a long time is already considered a loss, let alone being injured, which is even more so.

Not only is one's own face lost, but it also damages the face of the Mysterious Gate Saints.

"Sigh~!"

Hearing this, Hu Yuanling could not help but let out a long sigh.

"I hope that in this great battle, the Great Shang can break the formation; otherwise, we will not be able to stay in this Qingqiu Mountain for long!"

Seeing this, Hu Bailing's pretty face also showed a slight worry.

But she didn't say anything.

Indeed.

If the Great Shang cannot break the formation for a long time, then their Qingqiu Fox Clan, being within the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty where they are constantly suppressed, will sooner or later give rise to many incidents.

Then they would inevitably have to make a decision to migrate or resist for a long time.

However.

The Qingqiu Fox Clan can leave, but Hu Bailing, as the Mountain God of Qingqiu Mountain, cannot leave.

This is also what she worries about in her heart.

Just as the two were lost in thought.

Suddenly! The entire Qingqiu Mountain territory shook, causing the image within the Divine Light Technique to tremble incessantly.

The two immediately came back to their senses and stared intently at the real-time image in the Divine Light Technique.

Only to see.

The sky above Qingqiu Mountain was completely shrouded by a golden light barrier, with several golden rays of light circulating within it from time to time.

Clusters of golden flowers rippled within the light barrier, causing waves to spread out.

At the same time.

Thousands of figures of Imperial Dynasty divine light rose into the sky from the horizon and the ground, transforming into rainbows as they departed.

"This is..."

"Has the Dashang Dynasty army penetrated this deep so quickly?"

The two could not help but look at each other, both seeing a look of astonishment in the other's eyes.

The facts were indeed so.

As one of the strongest Imperial Dynasties of the current age, the Dashang Dynasty naturally had a clear understanding of the defensive lines of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

Therefore, as early as when the two armies began to engage.

Hundreds of garrison points, led by the territories of Qingqiu Mountain, Taihe Mountain, and Suolong Pass, had each received varying degrees of military offensives! Among them.

The defensive line of the Qingqiu Mountain territory was besieged by a large number of cultivators and soldiers from the Dashang Dynasty.

Outside the Qingqiu Mountain defensive line.

On the side of the Dashang Dynasty, countless soldiers of the great army surged forward wave after wave, attacking the Great Array that was Covering the Sky ahead.

Martial Rice Heavy Treasures, Divine Rice Semi-Divine Artifacts, and even Low-Grade Divine Artifacts, cultivator sword lights, Dashang standard-issue Divine Weapons, as well as divine abilities and techniques, were all unleashed upon the Great Array.

Each attack caused ripples to stir upon the golden formation's light barrier, which only gradually subsided after a long time.

And inside the light barrier.

The soldiers of the defending Taixuan Imperial Dynasty also successively raised their own Divine Weapons, sharp blades, magical treasures, spiritual artifacts, as well as divine abilities, techniques, and immortal arts, unleashing them toward the ranks of the Dashang Dynasty.

Each attack crossed the defensive light barrier without any obstacles or hindrance, flying from the inside out toward the Dashang ranks.

However.

The Dashang Dynasty was not to be trifled with.

Often, as soon as an attack from the Taixuan soldiers crossed the defensive light barrier, it would face several or even dozens of interception attacks.

The defensive light barrier of the Qingqiu Mountain defensive line had dozens to hundreds of layers.

Whenever the Dashang Dynasty broke through one layer, they would face the rising of another defensive light barrier.

Only by breaking through all the defensive light barriers could they engage in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.

Then, with their massive military force, they would forcibly suppress the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty's army. In this way, they could capture the entire defensive line in one fell swoop, thereby entering directly into the vast territory of the Taixuan Imperial Dynasty.
