In the eastern region of the Central Domain,
The Yin-Yang Sect.
The sect's protective array had remained active since entering a state of war, but it was now on the verge of collapse.
This array, which had guarded the Yin-Yang Sect for over fifty thousand years, and had been strengthened and maintained by every generation of patriarchs, sect masters, and countless elders, was now riddled with holes and teetering on the brink of destruction.
All the war-ships of the Yin-Yang Sect had already ascended into the sky, and the defensive killing weapons on every mountain peak had been activated, unleashing a continuous barrage of bombardment towards the outside.
Outside the Yin-Yang Sect, the allied forces of the Demon Race and the three families were like a vast, dense tide, covering half the sky.
Curiously, these individuals seemed to have been forcibly conscripted. They were a uniform mix of cultivators and demons, lacking any war-ships or decent heavy weaponry.
Upon reflection, it became clear. Qiong Ku and his cohorts had only emerged from the secret realm today and immediately mobilized a large army to attack the Yin-Yang Sect without delay.
He knew that this was a rare opportunity. With Wan Lei dead and the Thunder Emperor Alliance embroiled in internal strife, chaos must have ensued.
This was the opportune moment to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.
Upon receiving the order, these allied forces had assembled instantly, with no time to organize their war materiel. To expedite the process, Qiong Ku had commanded everyone to use teleportation arrays to strike directly at the Yin-Yang Sect.
In Qiong Ku's view, their numbers and combat power were sufficient to annihilate the Yin-Yang Sect in the shortest possible time, then immediately proceed to destroy the Kui Lian Sect and the Fang family. After eliminating the wings of the Thunder Emperor Hall, they would finally attack the Thunder Emperor Hall itself.
Concentrate their forces and defeat them one by one.
At this juncture, the Thunder Emperor Hall, deprived of support from the other three families, would be unable to stand alone and would surely succumb to their onslaught.
It was impossible to attack the Thunder Emperor Hall first because its defenses were the strongest, surrounded by the Demonic Blood Heaven Devouring Array. Any casualties among the demon race would only strengthen this array.
Therefore, they had to first sever its support, then deal with the Thunder Emperor Hall. By then, even if the allied forces had to sacrifice their lives, the Demon Race would suffer no further losses.
They had come in haste, and they had to act that way.
If they had slowly organized their troops and attacked with war-ships, it would have taken several days to reach their destination. By then, the Thunder Emperor Alliance would likely have elected a new leader, consolidated their forces, and united as one to resist them.
Although Qiong Ku believed they would not necessarily lose even then, he did not wish to suffer too many casualties among his own limited demon forces.
Qiong Ku had not ordered a spatial blockade of the Yin-Yang Sect this time, as he knew that the millions of inhabitants of the Yin-Yang Sect posed little threat to them. The primary objective was to eliminate the Tribulation Crossing experts of the enemy alliance.
Now, with their entire forces committed to destroying the Yin-Yang Sect, the Tribulation Crossing experts of the Thunder Emperor Alliance would undoubtedly be unable to remain idle and would come to their aid.
Seizing this opportunity to eliminate all these Tribulation Crossing experts would mean the enemy's demise, leaving them with no power to recover.
If the armies of the other three families also arrived, that would be even better.
Qiong Ku did not mind engaging in a decisive battle from the outset. Their strength was at least two to three times that of the enemy. As long as the battleground was not at the Thunder Emperor Hall, he was confident of completely annihilating the enemy. Da Feng Novel Network.
Of course, if the enemy did not come, they would proceed with the original plan to defeat them one by one.
Regardless of the circumstances, his Demon Race would remain invincible.
Finally, as the teleportation array of the Yin-Yang Sect lit up with a glow, a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of Qiong Ku's lips, who had been so composed.
"Wan Lei, oh Wan Lei, how should I praise you? As the Son of the Plane, you repeatedly put yourself in danger alone. Do you truly believe your good fortune will always favor you?
Thank you for creating such a wonderful opportunity for me to kill you.
It's just a pity that you won't be able to witness firsthand the disintegration of the forces you painstakingly assembled. If you were here, I fear I would be unable to resist admiring your grief-stricken and pained expression."
Within the teleportation array of the Yin-Yang Sect, the figures of twelve Tribulation Crossing experts appeared.
Qiong Ku was all too familiar with the strength of the enemy alliance; he knew each of them intimately.
Qu Tianlei and Zhao Mingyu of the Yin-Yang Sect,
Chen Manlian and Chen Xinglian of the Kui Lian Sect,
Fa Hui, Fang Guling, and Fang Huifeng of the Fang family,
Fire Phoenix, Xi Ren Yuanjun, and Buzhi Huo Qingwu of the Thunder Emperor Hall,
Together with the ancestor of the Four Great Heavenly Pavilions, Bu Liu Weng, and the helmsman of the Heaven's Condemned, whose name was yet unknown, a total of twelve Tribulation Crossing experts.
On their side, they had over thirty Demon Marshals, seven Tribulation Crossing experts, and millions of powerful allied troops.
Qiong Ku possessed absolute confidence in this war, believing it would be a swift and overwhelming victory.
"All troops attack! All Demon Marshals and Tribulation Crossing experts, follow me to eliminate the enemy's Tribulation Crossing experts!"
With Qiong Ku's command, the sky-obscuring allied forces let out roars of war and launched a full-scale assault on the Yin-Yang Sect.
By this time, the Yin-Yang Sect's protective array had been shattered, and the allied forces advanced unimpeded into the Yin-Yang Sect.
Meanwhile, the Demon Marshals all charged towards the Tribulation Crossing experts.
Qu Tianlei let out a furious roar, and the Yin-Yang Life and Death Disk from the Yin-Yang Sect's rear mountain rose from the ground and flew towards them.
This was the Yin-Yang Sect's ultimate weapon and their guarantee of resisting the enemy.
As the Yin-Yang Life and Death Disk arrived above the battlefield, it immediately began to spin, its Yin-Yang Five Elements Eight Trigrams powers suppressing the enemy below.
The two sides immediately clashed. The Tribulation Crossing experts of the Thunder Emperor Alliance, aware of their inferior strength, did not fight independently. Instead, they concentrated under the Yin-Yang Life and Death Disk, jointly defending against the enemy's attacks.
The skies above were the battleground for the strong, while the lower altitudes and the ground belonged to the battlefield of countless ordinary cultivators.
Qu Qingyan stood on the main hall of the Yin-Yang Sect, issuing a series of commands, continuously dispatching the elders and disciples of the Yin-Yang Sect to control the defensive killing weapons, turning the entire Yin-Yang Sect into a war machine.
On every peak of the Yin-Yang Sect, there was a fixed attack and defense formation, each containing a spirit energy cannon.
These spirit energy cannons were even more powerful than those on the war-ships, representing true defensive weaponry.
As a major power that had been passed down for over fifty thousand years, the Yin-Yang Sect was not so easily conquered. The entire sect was armed to the teeth.
Any war could not be concluded in a single day or a single moment.
In the mortal realm, even if one side had two hundred thousand men and the other had twenty thousand, as long as it was not an open field battle, the engagement would not end in one or two days.
And for a siege warfare, even if the attacking side had an overwhelming advantage, it would still take at least a month or two to capture the position.
This was the case even in the mortal realm, let alone in the strongest combat legions of this universe.
The Yin-Yang Sect had armed the entire sect, with millions of disciples fighting on the front lines, dispersed to defend every mountain peak, greatly delaying the enemy's advance.
