The Heavenly Dao's celestials were no less formidable, though their movements lacked earth-shattering war cries.
However, the sight of tens of thousands of celestials advancing together created an oppressive aura that was difficult to describe.
After all, each celestial was an invincible being.
And there were tens of thousands of such invincible beings!
Soon, the two sides clashed. Various arts and techniques were hurled at each other, causing the heavens and earth to change color!
After the first charge, both sides had only exchanged a single blow before suffering countless casualties.
On the snow-covered Kunlun Mountains, bodies lay strewn everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed!
Humans who had mastered the power of heaven and earth gained the strength to fight against the celestials. However, in the end, they could only inflict damage upon them.
The gap in power between the two could not be bridged solely by the power of heaven and earth.
Chen Xiao unleashed the God-Slaying Sword Array, enveloping the celestials from above, thus reducing some of the pressure on the Kyushu allied forces.
Yet, even so, it was far from enough.
Chen Xiao had no choice but to personally join the fray, fighting bloodily against the enemy!
With Chen Xiao's entry, the tide began to turn in favor of the Kyushu Alliance.
Wielding the God-Slaying Sword, Chen Xiao weaved through the celestial ranks, reaping their lives.
This was not an exceedingly difficult task for Chen Xiao. However, upon seeing Chen Xiao join the battle, the opposing Immortal King Lin Lang could no longer remain idle.
He leaped forward, appearing before Chen Xiao, and engaged him in combat.
An Immortal King was indeed an Immortal King; his strength was beyond that of ordinary celestials.
After joining the battle, he fought Chen Xiao for fifty rounds without showing any signs of weakness.
But with Chen Xiao occupied, the Kyushu Alliance suffered greatly, with more and more individuals falling to the celestials.
Of course, the celestials also sustained heavy casualties.
It could be said that this was the most devastating loss of celestials since the establishment of the Heavenly Dao.
They were not invincible, but defeating them was exceedingly difficult.
This was a war.
And war entailed bloodshed and sacrifice.
However, it was fortunate that all those participating in the battle today were true warriors.
They had long come to terms with the possibility of sacrifice, so despite the heavy casualties, no one retreated.
They charged forward bravely, exchanging their lives for the lives of the enemy.
As long as it was a one-for-one exchange, they felt no loss!
Among those Chen Xiao knew, the first to fall was Chu He.
He was besieged by over a dozen celestials and eventually died from exhaustion, his body torn to shreds.
"Father!"
This scene deeply affected Chu Qingluan.
With bloodshot eyes, she charged towards those dozen celestials, seeking revenge for her father.
However, her strength was limited. Not only did she fail to avenge her father, but she also found herself in a perilous situation.
Seeing his junior about to die tragically, Chu Changqing rushed forward without regard for his own safety.
Like a gourd doll saving its grandfather, he plunged into the jaws of the celestials.
In their moment of crisis, a figure resembling a celestial maiden descended, swiftly eliminating those dozen celestials.
"Thank you, immortal maiden, for your timely rescue!"
Chu Qingluan cupped her hands in gratitude towards Ziwei Dao Master.
Ziwei Dao Master's expression was cold and aloof as she asked indifferently, "Are you involved with him too?"
"What?"
Chu Qingluan was slightly taken aback.
She then saw Ziwei Dao Master cast her gaze towards Chen Xiao. "The way he looked at you just now was different. So, you don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank him!"
With that, Ziwei Dao Master flashed away, heading towards another area.
Chu Qingluan, however, stood there, stunned and somewhat dazed.
But in the next moment, she cast aside those romantic entanglements.
Now was not the time for such thoughts... Killing the enemy was the primary mission!
