Just like what Bai Wuya had predicted, very soon, the Dongshengxian Gate made a move. The scouts came to report that the four armies of the Dongshengxian Gate were advancing towards the Cloud Prefecture.
Many people in the Cloud Prefecture breathed a sigh of relief. Those who had the ability to leave had already left. The ones who stayed were relatively ordinary cultivators who could not cross the vast territory of the Cloud Prefecture. Now, the four armies marched through the sky, heading straight for the Cloud Prefecture City. In this case, the main battlefield would probably erupt within the borders of the Cloud Prefecture City. The flames of war would not spread too far.
However, they were still somewhat nervous. Who knew if there would be immortal kings suddenly appearing in the air above them? Immortal kings could easily traverse across vast distances. If this battle went out of control, there might still be other battles taking place in different locations of the Cloud Prefecture.
When the four armies of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect set off, the major powers of the Eastern Regions immediately received the news. They had been paying attention to this battle and in fact, there were already many experts from the Eastern Regions who had already arrived at the Cloud Prefecture. They were mixed in with the crowd and nobody knew about this.
In fact, there were even some major powers outside the Eastern Regions who were paying attention to this battle.
From a certain perspective, the battle between the Dongshengxian Gate and the Immortal Qianbian Gate was a continuation of the emperor-ranked war that happened in the Evergreen Kingdom. If there wasn't that emperor-ranked war, the final battle between these two powers wouldn't have erupted so early.
With the four armies advancing at the same time, it was impossible for the Immortal Qianbian Gate to attack a single power. If they did so, the other three armies might directly attack the Immortal Qianbian Gate. Hence, the Immortal Qianbian Gate had no way to stop the advance of the Dongshengxian Gate. They could only allow the Dongshengxian Gate to advance to the outskirts of the Cloud Prefecture.
The four armies advanced at the same time, arriving at the outskirts of the Cloud Prefecture almost at the same time. They appeared in the four directions of the Cloud Prefecture and directly locked down the entire city.
The people of the Cloud Prefecture were shocked. Those who didn't leave felt uneasy.
They did not expect the Dongshengxian Gate to be surrounded. Were they going to wipe out the Immortal Qianbian Gate in one fell swoop?
The situation suddenly tensed up, a great battle was about to erupt at any moment. Almost everyone in the Cloud Prefecture City was fleeing, preparing to temporarily leave. Only immortal kings dared to remain in the city. Some immortal kings wanted to spectate this world-shaking battle.
A battle between two great Immortal Sects was an opportunity that did not come by often. It was a once in a blue moon opportunity.
Hence, some of the neutral immortal kings even felt somewhat excited.
The Immortal Qianbian Gate acted as though they were facing a great enemy. Once, they gathered countless experts from the six prefectures but nobody bothered with them. Many of them chose to flee. Why would they participate in such a battle for the sake of the Immortal Qianbian Gate? They were merely immortal kings who were in charge of a region, they weren't from the Immortal Qianbian Gate. When the Immortal Qianbian Gate was in charge of a region, they would listen to the orders given by the Immortal Qianbian Gate. But now that the war was about to break out, who would care about the Immortal Qianbian Gate?
Of course, there were also some people who were incorporated by the Immortal Qianbian Gate. Unfortunately, the time that the Immortal Qianbian Gate had ruled these six provinces was too short, so they did not have much influence. If they had ten thousand years or even longer, the whole six provinces would truly belong to the Immortal Qianbian Gate. In this regard, the Dongshengxian Gate obviously did a better job. Therefore, in terms of the number of Immortal Kings, they had an absolute advantage and could crush the Immortal Qianbian Gate.
At this moment, the same voice resounded throughout the entire Cloud Prefecture City. Within three days, evacuate the Cloud Prefecture City and the Dongshengxian Gate will be opened. Three days later, the Dongshengxian Gate will be sealed.
As this news circulated out, the entire Cloud Prefecture City was shaken. Some of the immortal-foundation experts who were still hesitating also hurriedly left the Cloud Prefecture City, not daring to delay at all. Those who stayed behind were either immortal kings who wanted to spectate the battle or those weaker characters who had no way to leave. These people were the most nervous and uneasy.
In the Immortal Qianbian Gate, numerous immortal palaces were filled with experts, all of them heading towards a single location. Outside the Immortal Qianbian Gate, there was an army of immortal-foundation experts. However, everyone understood that in a battle between immortal-foundation experts, there was no suspense at all. The Dongshengxian Gate would definitely crush the Immortal Qianbian Gate.
Back then when they fought against the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, they had to rely on the manpower they gathered from the six prefectures and even hired many immortal-foundation experts to participate in the war. But now, after being swept away by the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, the armies of the five prefectures either scattered or fled. The vast majority of these armies were from the Cloud Prefecture. They basically had no way to block the foundation of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect that had governed the thirteen prefectures for countless years.
Hence, everyone knew that in reality, the outcome of this battle still depended on the immortal kings.
The immortal kings of the Immortal Qianbian Gate gathered at the public square in front of the Emperor Palace of Qianbian. The immortal kings gathered here represented the entire strength of the Immortal Qianbian Gate.
The Emperor Qianbian walked over, standing on the platform as he swept his gaze over the immortal kings gathered here.
"I'm very proud that everyone can come here to fight for the Immortal Qianbian Gate. The Immortal Qianbian Gate has only been established for a short period of time and we have yet to nurture any immortal kings. Everyone here are either those who followed me in the past or those who joined the immortal sects and powers of the six prefectures after that." The Emperor Qianbian continued, "There's no need for me to say more about the dangers of immortal wars. Now that the Dongshengxian Gate has already been surrounded, there will definitely be casualties among us. If we are destined to lose this battle, I will give the order for everyone to retreat. But if we are victorious, I will take care of the families and clans of those who died. As for those who survive, I will reward them according to the battle merits I promised earlier."
"Even if you didn't manage to kill the immortal kings of the enemy and your battle merits are lower, I won't mistreat you. Next, I will fulfill my promise and allow you all to choose your immortal weapons first." The Emperor Qianbian waved his hand. In an instant, hundreds of immortal weapons floated in the air, causing everyone to be dazzled.
This scene caused everyone to sigh in their hearts. As expected of an immortal emperor, his collection was truly bountiful. Many of the immortal weapons here were extremely powerful and were all high-grade immortal-ranked weapons.
For the sake of this immortal war, the Emperor Qianbian took out these immortal weapons and bestowed them to them.
"Choose an immortal weapon that is most suitable for you and refine it to familiarize yourself with it. We will make preparations for battle at any time." The Emperor Qianbian continued. Everyone nodded and chose the immortal-ranked weapons that were most suitable for them. Many of them were extremely excited because the immortal weapons they obtained were stronger than any of the immortal weapons they had. The treasures of immortal emperors were truly extraordinary. This was the disparity between them.
After everyone chose their immortal weapons, the Emperor Qianbian kept the remaining immortal weapons as he spoke, "I still believe that the victory of this war will ultimately belong to us. Everyone, please return to your residences and make your preparations."
The immortal kings bowed and departed. Very swiftly, only the Emperor Qianbian and Bai Wuya were left standing there. The Emperor Qianbian spoke, "This time around, it won't be easy to deal with them. The Dongshengxian Gate already has an absolute advantage in terms of their own immortal kings and they even borrowed external help."
"A battle at the immortal king level isn't decided by the number of people. The true deciding factor is still the peak-stage immortal king characters." Bai Wuya spoke in a low voice.
"Mhm, there's naturally this logic. This is why I'm worried. Before this, the Dongshengxian Gate has been waiting and didn't advance to the Cloud Prefecture City. According to our insider news, they are waiting for people. In addition to the two paragons and the peak-stage immortal kings of the Dongshengxian Gate, their lineup is already very strong." The Emperor Qianbian spoke.
"The people Wentian brought over are also very powerful. There are a few peak-stage immortal kings among them. I feel that they should be able to contend against the two peak-stage immortal kings under the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor." Bai Wuya spoke in a light voice. The eyes of the Emperor Qianbian flashed. He naturally knew that there were experts following Qin Wentian but he didn't ask about it. But at this moment of life and death, he was certain that Qin Wentian would definitely allow those immortal kings to participate.
"Mhm, let's hope that Wentian's strength would be able to be of great use." The Emperor Qianbian nodded.
"Monarch, there's no need to worry too much. If immortal kings can't win, let's just initiate an emperor-ranked battle in advance." Bai Wuya's eyes gleamed sharply, causing the eyes of the Emperor Qianbian to gleam with sharpness as well.
An emperor-ranked battle had great implications. Also, they all understood that this was a sensitive period in the eastern regions. If an emperor-ranked battle erupted, it might affect everything else. Hence, this was the final decisive battle. If not, they wouldn't have initiated an emperor-ranked battle.
"However, maybe everything can proceed according to the plan. Don't forget, we still have trump cards." Bai Wuya laughed. He exchanged a glance with the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and nodded to each other. This war had already been planned since a very long time ago. From this point, it could be said that they had the advantage.
Bai Wuya departed. The Emperor Qianbian turned his gaze towards the horizons.
Victory or defeat would be determined by this battle. Would he be able to wash away the humiliation of losing to the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor and unify the thirteen prefectures? Or would he be able to flee with his tail between his legs again?
For this battle, he had waited for far too many years. He had to win and settle a matter that was weighing on his heart. From there, he would be able to wholeheartedly pursue an even higher cultivation realm.
Three days later, it was unknown how many experts left the Cloud Prefecture City. This city which used to be bustling with activity, was now exceptionally quiet. On the streets, there were no signs of humans at all. It was like a city of the dead.
Finally, on this day, in the airspace above the Cloud Prefecture City, the wind and clouds howled as the sky changed color. A supreme might enveloped the entire area. This was the might of an emperor.
In the air, an incomparably gigantic throne appeared. After that, the silhouette of a gigantic figure appeared. This figure was incomparably majestic, so large that it was inconceivable. His eyes were the size of a small city and he could destroy it with a single hand. He directly sat on the throne and stared at the Cloud Prefecture City with disdain.
"The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor has arrived." The hearts of everyone trembled. This gigantic figure in the air was none other than the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. Not only that, this was his true self.
The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor was personally supervising this immortal war, directing this immortal war between the Dongshengxian Gate and the Immortal Qianbian Gate.
A beam of light soared up into the air as lightning flashed. An incomparably dazzling silhouette appeared in the air, expanding in size to the same size as the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. He appeared in the air, staring down at the Cloud Prefecture City.
This person was none other than the Emperor Qianbian.
