The Luo Goddess once slew a Heavenly Demon Emperor here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that battle, many of the Luo Goddess’s suitors participated; among them, the most outstanding was a war-array master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is said that when the Western Heaven War Emperor was still obscure, he received the legacy of that man here—and through clues within the legacy, he eventually discovered the ancient War Emperor’s inheritance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang smiled. “If the inheritance has already been claimed by the Western Heaven War Emperor, what’s so special about this place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Ya’s expression grew more serious. “According to intelligence from the Grand World Palace, that inheritance was divided into two parts. The Western Heaven War Emperor only obtained the portion containing clues to the ancient War Emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The core war-array master legacy remains undiscovered to this day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Western Heaven War Emperor seems to know something—he once mobilized vast armies to gather war intent, but ultimately failed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One of his core elder war-array specialists speculated that the legacy likely requires war intent to activate—but even the Western Heaven War Hall cannot muster sufficient war intent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang narrowed his eyes. “If even the Western Heaven War Emperor and the Western Heaven War Hall cannot do it, then that ancient war-array master must have reached at least the Saint Rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Ya hesitated, then ventured, “Is that demon wind… an old acquaintance of yours, Elder Chu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang smiled but said nothing. Seeing he would not answer, Cheng Ya sensed something and asked again: “Do Itachi intend to help him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, rest assured—if Itachi cannot show your face, the Grand World Palace can handle this matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang shook his head. “I said we came to the Western Heaven Continent merely as spectators to watch a good show.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Cheng Ya said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later, forces from all directions suddenly converged here, each led by several Earth Sovereigns; any single one of them, placed on any other continent, would be enough to dominate the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Heaven Sovereigns are mostly detached; in open conflicts among the major powers of each continent, the strongest are merely Earth Sovereigns at the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These four factions’ forces took positions at the four corners of the ancient battlefield and began expelling those within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are the Four Divine Clans of the Lesser Western Heaven Realm, all under the Western Heaven War Hall. The Luo Clan is the most unique—their ancestor in ancient times was a formidable figure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Ya explained to Chu Yang, while releasing her Earth Sovereign aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon sensing her aura, the elites of the Four Divine Clans did not cause any trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, the so-called expulsion was merely bullying the weak—driving out those lacking sufficient strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Ya guessed, “It seems the Western Heaven War Emperor is preparing to enter the fray himself…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang shook his head. “No. That battle on the Demon-Subduing Continent greatly boosted his prestige.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who among those daring to come to the Western Heaven Continent and covet the Yinming Army under his very nose lacks some background?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Western Heaven War Emperor is no fool. Though the Yinming Army would make him even stronger, it is not indispensable—he won’t risk his newly gained reputation by making enemies everywhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Chu Yang changed tone. “The Western Heaven War Hall will surely send its own war-array masters to compete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as he, the Heaven Sovereign, does not intervene, everyone competes on equal footing. Whoever claims it, no one can complain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Ya analyzed: “Elder Chu, that demon wind is only newly entered the Sovereign Realm and just became a war-array master—he cannot yet unleash the full power of the Yinming Army. His strength likely hasn’t even reached the Earth Sovereign level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After the Four Divine Clans’ ‘screening,’ those still remaining in the ancient battlefield are all at the peak of the Sovereign Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That demon wind… won’t be able to hold onto the Yinming Army!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang chuckled. “Whether he can hold it or not—it’s still too early to conclude.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Ya fell silent. She truly didn’t understand why Chu Yang had such confidence in that demon wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with his current strength and status, if he were willing to intervene, this matter would be no trouble at all—whether the Western Heaven War Emperor or any other powerful faction would gladly grant him face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he trying to temper the demon wind? But then… could the demon wind and the Yinming Army also originate from Chu Yang’s lower realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, that lower realm must be extraordinarily favored by heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, as dawn broke, the center of the ancient battlefield erupted in activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a valley, the slopes on all sides were packed with people, each radiating powerful qi; the weakest among them were high-grade Sovereigns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were many Earth Sovereigns, even a few Earth Sovereigns at the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these people were war-array masters, for the allure of the Yinming Army was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a powerful army, if controlled by a powerful war-array master, could unleash power reaching the Heaven Sovereign level! Compared to ordinary cultivators and spirit-array masters, war-array masters were, in a sense, a shortcut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators defy heaven; spirit-array masters use soul force to form arrays and borrow heaven’s power; war-array masters rely on human strength to surpass heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one’s understanding of war intent and harmony with the army reaches a certain level, one can unleash power far exceeding one’s own realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this shortcut has one major flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is overly dependent on the army. Once a war-array master loses his army, he becomes a tiger without fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, many elites cultivate both paths rather than specializing solely in war-array mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet throughout history, there have been elites who fully switched to the war-array path; once they matured, none failed to dominate their regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the valley’s center, an army was stationed—though vast in number, it moved in complete silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thin strands of war intent drifted out, converging in the air, causing clouds to explode and heaven and earth to dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this army stood an unremarkable young man, clad in dark red armor, holding a spear as he closed his eyes to rest, utterly indifferent to the many elites around him. At that moment, an even more terrifying war intent suddenly engulfed the entire valley, followed by golden light bursting skyward—a towering figure appeared above the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant this figure appeared, every elite present changed expression and bowed in unison, respectfully intoning: “We pay homage to the War Emperor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the demon wind opened his eyes and clasped his fists in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew of the events on the Demon-Subduing Continent. Since this Western Heaven War Emperor had once fought shoulder to shoulder with the Chu Emperor, he deserved due respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Western Heaven War Emperor’s gaze swept the crowd, finally settling on the demon wind, and he spoke softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yao Feng, the Yinming Army is under your command, but Itachi must understand the saying: ‘An innocent man is guilty for possessing a treasure.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I recognize your talent. Today, I grant Itachi a fair chance to compete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All war-array masters under the age of one hundred may participate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Itachi ultimately retain the Yinming Army, I guarantee your safety!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, every war-array master present burned with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Feng remained calm and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner, Cheng Ya stared in disbelief. “What a ‘fair’ offer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Yinming Army belongs to Yao Feng already—now they force him to fight others for ownership? Ridiculous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the difference between this and open robbery?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang gave her a strange look. “This has nothing to do with Itachi—why are Itachi more agitated than Yao Feng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Ya stiffened, then shrugged. “I’m just worried for your friend, Elder Chu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yang shook his head with a wry smile, turning his gaze to Yao Feng in the valley’s center, eager to see how he would respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, Chu Yang had concealed Cheng Ya’s aura with Source Qi, so the Western Heaven War Emperor’s projection had not noticed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if the Western Heaven War Emperor had detected Cheng Ya, he would surely connect her to Chu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Western Heaven War Emperor’s figure vanished, powerful auras surged skyward, and war-array masters directly charged into the valley, landing before Yao Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many present were not war-array masters, but they had come only to watch; bound by the Western Heaven War Emperor’s rules, they naturally did not interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man with the power of a lower-grade Earth Sovereign smiled warmly. “Yao Feng, Itachi’ve become a ten-thousand-mark war-array master at such a young age—your talent is undeniable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi may surpass us old men in the future. I advise Itachi to make a wise choice, lest Itachi lose your life for nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This old man clearly had great influence; when he spoke, no other war-array master dared interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as he finished, a seductive woman laughed. “Old Ghost, Itachi’re wrong to say that…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Itachi don’t cut the grass to the root, won’t Itachi face revenge when he grows stronger?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burly man stepped forward, staring at Yao Feng. “Abandon the Yinming Army and join the Western Heaven War Hall—I’ll guarantee your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, among these war-array masters, these three were the strongest; though all were merely lower-grade Earth Sovereigns, a war-array master’s strength cannot be judged by cultivation alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even so, the others still eagerly awaited their chance, for they all knew no one here could claim the entire Yinming Army alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome would inevitably be to divide and devour the army—those weaker might not get meat, but at least they could sip the broth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi’re all counting on me to surrender?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Feng suddenly sneered, his gaze sweeping the crowd. “I serve the Emperor’s command in leading the Yinming Army. Unless the Emperor himself speaks, this military token will never be handed to another…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Itachi want it, prove your worth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man shook his head, as if saddened. “I know Itachi come from a lower realm, but understand this—Itachi’re in the Grand World!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A third-grade Sovereign, even a ten-thousand-mark war-array master, is but a speck of dust!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes turned sharp, brimming with murderous intent. “Moreover, daring to call another ‘Emperor’ on the Western Heaven Continent—your death sentence is already written!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough… cough…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner, Cheng Ya stared blankly at Chu Yang, who had suddenly burst into coughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this mighty being, rivaling a Celestial Sovereign of Immortal grade, really have been choked by spit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no wonder Chu Yang lost his composure—those words from the burly man, “Itachi’ve already chosen the path to death,” had genuinely rattled him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What level is this guy even at, to dare say that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk—fight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seductive woman’s personality was utterly opposite her appearance; her words dripped with cruelty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her voice faded, dozens of battlefield array masters shuddered, each unleashing their techniques—powerful armies flooded the entire canyon, and terrifying battle auras surged skyward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the canyon trembled; Chu Yang faintly sensed something stirring deep beneath the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clever plan…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile appeared on Chu Yang’s face—he knew well that Yao Feng was using the battle auras of these array masters to draw out the ancient battlefield master’s legacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The calculations were sharp as clappers, but the problem was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he survive this crisis?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they held back the Yin Army, what would they use to secure the legacy? The three Lower Earth Sovereigns made no move, standing silently behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t take Yao Feng seriously at all—they believed the array masters at the Sovereign realm were more than enough to deal with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three were wary of each other, waiting to strike the instant Yao Feng died, to seize the military tally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by refining the tally could one command the Yin Army’s battle aura; otherwise, one could only forcibly seize a fraction of the troops, then spend endless time and effort integrating them into one’s own army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was about to erupt—facing the assault of dozens of Sovereign-rank battlefield array masters, Yao Feng showed not a trace of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely lifted his hand lightly, and a terrifying aura of battle surged into the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, everyone in and around the canyon, except Chu Yang, froze in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For above the canyon, countless figures suddenly materialized!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting them, there were eighty to ninety thousand! Add the ten thousand Yin Soldiers standing behind Yao Feng, and the total reached one hundred thousand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had assumed that Yao Feng controlling a ten-thousand-strong cavalry, even if ancient, was already astonishing—but no one had expected…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, what they’d seen was merely the tip of the iceberg of the Yin Army!
