The war between the Jin Dynasty and Shang Province, which had been going on for more than three thousand years, was initiated by Tiantu City.
The ones who lit the fuse were Xu Mang's group of four, who had led the 377 battalions in a frenzy of slaughter on the first sea ladder.
Afterwards, the ten million soldiers of Tiantu City also went against convention and took the initiative to head out to the sea to meet Xu Mang and the other soldiers of the Death Camp.
Over the next three days, the flames of war were ignited in the eleven defensive zones. For a time, the baleful aura of the Tiantu Straits soared to the heavens. Every tug of war between day and night would take thousands of lives.
The first thing Wang Hai did was return to Tiantu City. With their strength, they could not run amok on the first sea ladder, so they could only stay in Tiantu City.
Of course, this was only a pretense. The reason why Wang Hai was so eager to return was to tell Luo Xiao about this matter.
"Dead?" Luo Xiao was stunned.
"Xu Mang said it himself that he died on the second sea ladder."
Wang Hai paused for a moment, then said with a hint of schadenfreude, "It seems that these four have a close relationship with Xie Tian. For Xie Tian's sake, they actually swore a soul oath to use the entire Shang Province as a sacrifice to him."
Luo Xiao suddenly understood, "No wonder Xu Ruoheng's reaction was so strange last time. But what qualifications does Xie Tian have to deal with the eight battalions, or even Xu Ruoheng?"
The two of them could not think of an answer to this question. After all, there was a huge gap between their levels.
But while the two of them were overjoyed, they could not help but feel deep fear. Fortunately, Xie Tian was dead. Otherwise, with Xu Ruoheng's backing, Xie Tian could kill them as easily as flipping his palm.
"Hmph, he got off lightly!" Luo Xiao said resentfully, "It's a pity that he didn't fall into my hands, otherwise …"
Wang Hai knew what Luo Xiao meant. Xie Tian's death was not important, but what had died along with him was the method to resist the baleful aura that the two of them valued so much.
"Although Xie Tian is dead, there are still some of his men in the Tiantu Second Battalion. Perhaps …"
"I've checked those three. They can't resist the baleful aura."
Luo Xiao waved his hand and solemnly said, "Although the war will be dangerous, it will also be a great opportunity. If you can perform outstandingly in the war, even if you can't withstand the Evil Qi of the Phantom Alchemist, you will still have the opportunity to enter the Eighth Battalion. This is an important matter that you should pay attention to."
Wang Hai sighed. "Xie Tian is on good terms with Xu Mang and the other three. Those four are the overlords of the eight battalions. If I go in, won't I be a lamb walking into a tiger's den?"
"Hehe, you think too much." Luo Xiao revealed a smile under his helmet. "So what if you have a grudge against Xie Tian? You didn't kill Xie Tian. Moreover, if you can make great military contributions and impress the higher-ups of the Death Camp, they won't dare to target you even if they have ten guts!"
Wang Hai's blood boiled when he heard that, and he nodded fiercely. "Don't worry, Commander. I will do my best in this battle!"
"That's good." Luo Xiao looked at Wang Hai meaningfully. "You are the most talented in the Ninth Battalion. Once you enter the Eighth Battalion, don't forget our agreement!"
The news of Xie Tian's death was spread by Wang Hai's subordinates in the Second Battalion of the 36 battalions ten days after the war began.
The Second Battalion of the Heaven Expansion Battalion instantly went crazy. Before the battle horn sounded, eight hundred thousand people rushed to the frontline, but they were reprimanded by the higher-ups of the Death Camp.
"Even if the sky falls and the earth falls, I don't believe that my little buddy will die!" Boss Jia shouted crazily. "He has died so many times and survived. He will survive this time!"
Even though they worshiped Xie Tian crazily, no one in the Second Battalion believed Boss Jia's words. This was because Xie Tian had died in the Second Sea Ladder. That place had turned into the Everlasting Night ten days ago.
Only a Perfected Person could kill his way out of the Everlasting Night in a short time.
Only a Dao Venerable could survive ten days in the Everlasting Night.
"Dead!" The Martial Disciple was stunned for an hour. Finally, he sighed and continued to cultivate.
"Dead!" Hong Yi lost control of the huge blade in her hand and almost cut her subordinate in half. Just as the subordinate was about to pee in his pants, she looked up to the sky and laughed. "Finally dead! Hahahaha!"
Du Long was still silent.
The people who died in the war were like the best firewood. The flames of war in the Heaven Expansion Straits became more and more intense.
Almost every day, tens of thousands of soldiers died. After three months of war, the 12 Defense Zones were all in a state of emergency. The Jin Dynasty once again sent the 12 Battalions to participate in the war.
Although the Death Camp was the first army of the Jin Dynasty, many soldiers had fallen in the war. Fortunately, the Death Camp had a good reserve system. Whenever there was a shortage of people, the next battalion would be sent to replace them.
Under such a cycle, the Apex Competition of the 36 Battalions was delayed. Du Long and the Martial Disciple in red entered the First Battalion first, followed by the top 100 experts of the 36 Battalions.
The 100,000 soldiers of the First Camp, who were part of the Quasi-Ninth Camp, displayed unparalleled combat strength as soon as they joined the battle, especially the three Martial Disciples, who displayed an invincible posture in the low-level battlefield, greatly boosted the morale of the Divine Dynasty's soldiers.
This influence seemed small, but it became a push. In a short month, the Jin Dynasty had pushed the frontline towards Shang Prefecture by ten thousand li.
But following the counterattack of Shang Prefecture, not only did the frontline shrink, but the first sea ladder that they had neglected due to the hasty advance was also attacked by the ghost army, causing the Jin Dynasty army to suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, the Death Camp's 36 Battalions and the Second Battalion received the order to go to war. They would cooperate with the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion and the First Battalion to eliminate the ghost beasts and a small number of ghost soldiers occupying the first sea ladder.
Tian Expansion City's Second Battalion, two hours before the expedition.
800,000 soldiers, half kneeled on the ground.
Surrounded by them was the smallest barracks in the entire camp.
A year ago, the people living in this barracks were trash that even 800,000 people had the right to mock and trample on. A year later, they were half kneeling on the ground to welcome the inspection of that person.
But the only person who had the right to inspect them was no longer here.
"Revenge by killing!"
800,000 roars that came from the bottom of their hearts converged into a thunderous sound, exploding in the sky above Tian Expansion City.
"Go to war!"
Blood Swallow Du Hai led the troops onto the Kun Peng Giant Ship, killing their way towards the first sea ladder.
"Sigh, they are still children!" Seeing this scene, Old Father sighed.
Wu Shang, who was standing with his hands behind his back, said softly, "In the past year, you have experienced many things, things that you have never experienced before."
"Aren't I going to die of old age soon, and you still don't allow me to say more!" Old Father rolled his eyes.
Wu Shang felt something, and his voice carried a rare trace of emotion, "So, we must all die without regrets."
"What are you showing off for, isn't it just Tianxin who has reached the Great Circle of the Force realm?" Old Father was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, "I am warning you again, that kid is born without emotions and desires, be careful that in the end, you will not even have a bone left!"
Wu Shang laughed lightly, "I am the great strategist of the Death Camp, after retiring, I put all my thoughts into this!"
"It is better than you not even having any thoughts!"
Wu Shang did not retort, and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, the two of them stepped on the air, traveling thousands of miles with each step, heading towards the depths of Eternal Night, where the Shang Prefecture was.
When they passed by the second sea ladder's 260th island, Old Father's figure paused, and he shook his head, sighing.
Wu Shang frowned, "If you are feeling uneasy, return the military merit points to me."
Old Father rolled his eyes, got rid of the ripples in his heart, and continued on their journey.
The two of them were going to kill the Shang Prefecture's Prefecture Lord, Onyx Soul.
As long as Onyx Soul was dead, there would be no more battles in the Heaven Expansion Straits, unless another Onyx Soul appeared.
If Onyx Soul was a person, then he was the second person Wu Shang could not kill other than the Godking, because Wu Shang had tried to kill him more than ten times before, but not only did he not succeed, he was even toyed with to death.
So this time, he used one billion military merit points to invite Old Father out, he believed that with Old Father's intelligence, and with that pair of Heaven's Secret Eyes that could see through the nine underworlds, this trip would definitely succeed.
Half an hour after the two of them left, a wisp of Onyx Soul emerged from the bottom of the sea a hundred thousand feet below where Old Father stopped.
They would never have thought that the target they were looking for was at the bottom of the sea, next to the second sea ladder's 260th island.
Even though this Onyx Soul was just a split soul of the Shang Prefecture's Prefecture Lord Onyx Soul.
"Keke!"
The split soul snickered, and then burrowed into the bottom of the sea. After a hundred feet, the underground space suddenly opened up, and within a thousand feet, there was a mass of black fog formed by billions of malicious souls.
Inside the black fog, was Xie Tian, who made Old Father shake his head and sigh.
