Chapter 605: Conclusion 2

The Bright Light Divine Capital lay far away, millions of li distant; upon receiving the military order, the advancing great army of the Eternal Night Empire halted in perfect, mechanical unison, all troops standing by in place.

Gazing far into the distance, tens of thousands of fully loaded Eternal Night war ships were neatly arrayed in a single line behind the army, hovering in the void, banners fluttering, momentum magnificent, utterly shocking!

Along this road, destroying cities and conquering kingdoms, unstoppable, the Eternal Night army not only did not diminish, but grew larger the more it fought.

Because the situation became ever clearer, the defeat of the Bright Light was already settled, so more and more forces chose to come and pledge allegiance to the Eternal Night, dispatching strong cultivators and troops day and night to rush to its aid.

Countless loose cultivators from Qinghan also came to join the fray, all hoping to bask in the glory after Eternal Night's victory.

As for why they didn't approach the Lingyun Immortal Dynasty, there is only one reason: it is too mysterious, the great power behind it has not yet revealed itself, and there are too many unstable factors.

After all, the Eternal Night Empire is a long-established native force of Qinghan, relatively speaking, it is more reliable.

"Report to the Emperor, the Vanguard General comes to report: that mysterious army of the Lingyun Immortal Dynasty has already arrived a step ahead of us at the outskirts of the Bright Light Divine Capital, and is now stationed a hundred li outside the central gate of the capital."

"Scout again, report again."

"As you command."

In the Eternal Night Supreme Commander's flying palanquin, after the scouts departed, the Eternal Night Emperor's brows furrowed slightly as he fell into contemplation.

At last we are about to encounter this mysterious army—should we join forces to destroy the Bright Light Divine Capital and then contend for supremacy, or what?

I fear that if we clash over a disagreement, we will only let the Bright Light Divine Kingdom reap the benefits.

"Emperor, we have reached this critical moment; just give the order, no matter what we will support you." At one side of the flying pavilion hall, the Punishing Void Divine Lord spoke first.

"Exactly, better to first annihilate that army; they have openly declared their intent to unify Qinghan, so our side will surely be their next target—better to strike first!" After offering this suggestion, the Asura Divine Lord directly requested orders: "I, your subordinate, wish to serve as the vanguard."

"I, your subordinate, also wish to serve as the vanguard." The Dark Shadow Divine Lord and the Profound Heaven Divine Lord, who had not yet spoken, rose together and bowed with clasped hands.

"Young Master, what is your opinion?" The Eternal Night Emperor did not issue a hasty command, but turned his gaze toward the upper seat.

Li Yin pondered for a moment, then spoke: "At this juncture, engaging the enemy in battle would be unwise; it would only let the Bright Light Divine Kingdom pick up the advantage."

Having spoken, Li Yin descended from the upper seat, adjusted his attire, and continued: "Let's go, first go meet them; if they insist on breaking ties prematurely, then don't blame us."

"Brother Zhao, how is the situation with the Solitary Elder over there?"

Zhao Jinzhu, standing nearby, heard this and replied: "Li Brother, rest assured, the Solitary Elder's side can arrive at most in two and a half quarters of an hour, and once we engage that mysterious force in battle, the core elders will also come to aid immediately."

After all, the God-Slaying Pavilion is a branch of the Dark Tower; if we could unify the Qinghan Immortal Prefecture, the Dark Tower would also share in the glory, so we naturally must give strong support.

"Good, this way there will be no mistake."

The Bright Light Divine Capital stands majestically at the heart of the Bright Light Divine Kingdom, also precisely at the center of the Qinghan Immortal Prefecture, an excellent location; the scenery is beautiful and enchanting, the immortal spiritual energy is extremely rich, like the most dazzling lighthouse of the Qinghan Immortal Prefecture, attracting countless cultivators who yearn and rush toward it.

Viewing the entire divine capital from the void, one is immediately stunned by its grandeur and splendor; its area is immeasurably vast, its length and width each exceeding hundreds of thousands of li.

The buildings in the city each have their own characteristics, distinctive; the overall style is mainly magnificent and splendid, and there are many unique Bright Light–style structures; the city is filled with a clamor of voices, prosperity beyond compare, truly the Qinghan's First Immortal City.

But at this moment, the divine capital is filled with a desolate hue; many buildings stand empty, people having fled; according to incomplete statistics, nearly half of the cultivators have already fled early, and order has begun to fall into chaos.

"Good heavens! This world is simply too crazy! Who would have thought that our Qinghan's First Immortal City, the Bright Light Divine Capital, would also see the day when troops besiege its walls!"

"Exactly! It's simply unbelievable! How long has the great war been underway? They've already fought right up to our doorstep!"

"Don't give up, perhaps there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory; don't forget, the Bright Light Divine Lord has not yet acted, and even the three most powerful Heavenly-Rank Light Envoys have not appeared."

"Forget it, facing the Eternal Night Empire alone might still offer a chance; why insist on provoking that mysterious Lingyun Immortal Dynasty? They haven't even deployed their trump cards yet, do you know what hidden hands they have? No way! I too must flee quickly, or it will be too late!"

"Flee? It's already too late; the whole city is now under lockdown, no entry or exit allowed, and the court has already issued an order commanding all cultivators in the city to jointly resist the enemy; otherwise, the day the city falls will be the day we are slaughtered by the foe."

Within the Bright Light Immortal Palace, the civil and military officials of the Bright Light have all lost their former bearing, each like ants on a hot pan, anxious to the extreme.

"Report… report to the Divine Lord, we have already scouted clearly: the mysterious army of Lingyun has reached a hundred li outside the divine capital, and the great army of the Eternal Night Empire is also pressing close to the Middle Heaven Gate of the capital; combined, the troops and strong cultivators of both sides amount to… amount to hundreds of millions!"

"Hundreds of millions? Where did this hundred-million-strong army come from? A hundred-million-strong army!" The Bright Light Divine Lord on the upper seat, hearing this, jumped to his feet in shock and shouted angrily.

"Are the troops and Light Envoys I sent out all trash! They not only cannot block the advances of Eternal Night and Lingyun, they can't even wear down their forces! All along they have lost cities and abandoned formations, being beaten all the way to our doorstep!"

"And those vassal immortal kingdoms! They are trash among trash, jumping clowns, grass on the wall, pigs and dogs that surrender at the wind! Damn them!"

Even the steady and mighty Bright Light Divine Lord cursed profanely, showing the fury in his heart.

"Divine… Divine Lord, we have not yet lost; the urgent matter now is to hold fast to the divine capital, so that we may still have a chance to turn defeat into victory; otherwise everything will be too late." The military advisor in Confucian robes, suppressing his anger, stepped forward and bowed with clasped hands.

"Huh? You're telling me what to do?" The Bright Light Divine Lord gave him a cold look, and without waiting for the military advisor to beg for mercy, a wave of pressure swept over, instantly grinding him into blood mist.

"Hmph!"

"Eternal Night, Lingyun, you've come at a good time! I, the Emperor, want to see whether you truly have the ability to overturn my Bright Light! Come all, come all! I still have the Three Heavenly-Rank Light Envoy Gods; let's see who ends up laughing last!"

"Heaven Light, Heaven Conceal, Heaven Step."

Having spoken, the Bright Light Divine Lord saw three figures appear out of thin air, respectfully descending before him.

Boom—

As soon as the three appeared, three tremendous Divine Lord Realm auras swept over the entire Bright Light Immortal Palace, pressing down so that all civil and military officials could not lift their heads.

These are the three divine lords left behind by the old divine lord! Heaven Light Divine Lord, Heaven Conceal Divine Lord, and Heaven Step Divine Lord!
