"Reporting to the general, the enemy has reached the eighteenth heaven!"
Above the white clouds, golden light shone. Countless heavenly soldiers in golden armor and helmets stood there, holding all kinds of weapons with solemn expressions. This time, it was different from the usual extermination of demons. They would be facing the most terrifying group of demons from the Heavenly Devil Realm, and this time, they would come out in full force. Not to mention their Celestial Emperor, Jade Emperor Haotian, even the Three Pure Ones were no match for them. However, there was no way to retreat. If the Heavenly Demons succeeded, they would still die. This was a calamity that would affect the entire six realms. There was no escape.
"I didn't expect the enemy's attack to be so fierce. Three days ago, they just reached the seventeenth heaven. Today, they've already reached the eighteenth heaven. "
At the head of the million heavenly soldiers was a burly man with a square face. His body was surrounded by golden light, and his cloud armor made him look even more majestic. Behind him, a group of deputy generals and vanguard generals looked solemn. They were all battle-hardened, and naturally would not be shaken by such a small situation. The burly general stroked his beard and thought for a moment. He spun the golden pagoda in his hand and had a plan.
"Pass down my orders. The army must be mobilized. We must not let those demons run wild. No matter what, we must stop them outside the Southern Heavenly Gate. I was favored by the Jade Emperor and was conferred the title of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. This time, the Jade Emperor thinks highly of me. As the commander of the million army, I must take up the responsibility. Now that the six realms are in trouble, as righteous gods, we have to give up on the mortal world for the sake of the big picture. However, the immortal world must not be lost. The Southern Heavenly Gate has True Lord Erlang, and that is enough. We will take the initiative to attack. We must stop the footsteps of that group of demons below the 32nd Heaven! "
Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing had a stern expression. He knew that he probably would not be able to return from this battle. The enemy's attack was too fierce. It was definitely not something their million army could handle. Even though these heavenly soldiers and generals were the best of the best, it was obviously impossible to rely on them to stop those terrifying fiends. Not to mention the Heavenly Demons, just the Demon Race army under his command would be enough to devour them all if they came rolling in. However, they could not back down. In order to protect the last hope of the six realms, they even gave up on the mortal world. Were they going to give up on the Immortal World as well? Should he allow those devils to destroy the Heavenly Court and then rush into the God Realm behind the 33 Heavens?
If Heaven and Earth were to be occupied by this group of devils, how good would their end be? Instead of dying anyway, why not take a gamble? Even if they failed, they would die in battle without any complaints. Furthermore, even though the Heavenly Demons were powerful and menacing. However, it was absolutely impossible for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to sit idly by. They still had the patriarchs of the Three Purities, as well as the ancient gods of the God World. There was no way they could lose. Now, all the ancient gods and saints were trying their best to repair the calamity caused by the violent magnetic field and had no time to care about this place. What he needed was to stall for time. When one's strength was inferior to the enemy's, how could one stall for time? That was to use one's life to block the enemy's blade.
"Yes!"
The loud and orderly response caused Li Jing's expression to darken. These were all his soldiers who had followed him through life and death, but now he wanted to bring them into a perilous situation and send them to their deaths. In the Great War of Gods and Demons ten thousand years ago, that small-scale contact battle had caused him to suffer heavy losses. Countless veterans who had followed him had died in that battle and were forever buried in that specially created battlefield. Even his third son, Nezha, had been sealed in that place and exiled to the endless streams of time and space. Not long ago, the sealed battlefield had floated back. However, when he descended to the mortal world to find his beloved son, he found a corpse that had died in battle.
Even though he was an immortal, he was still a father. How many people could truly see through matters of life and death? Especially when the white-haired person had to send the black-haired person off. Nezha's heroic spirit still existed, but it was so weak that it was difficult to describe. He broke away from Nezha's sworn brother, True Lord Erlang, and his master, Perfected Taiyi, and attempted to use the previous method to create a new lotus root immortal body for the heroic spirit.
Unfortunately, it was different this time. Even if Nezha succeeded in reviving with the help of the lotus root immortal body, he could only be like a child. Not only did he lose all his divine power, but even his memories were the same. It was equivalent to a newborn baby that had been reincarnated. Li Jing, as a father, felt a sharp pain in his heart as he looked at the top of the younger generation of the Heavenly Court, who used to be extraordinarily valiant and powerful in the past, turning into such a foolish person.
In the previous battle, many of his brothers who had gone through life and death with him had died, and even his third son had died in it. This time, he did not know how many people had died. Perhaps, after a lifetime of military service, this battle would be his final battle. Perhaps this was the fate that he couldn't escape from, fighting on the battlefield all his life and dying on the battlefield. Even if he became a True God, he could not escape this fate.
Thirty-six Heavens. The group of demons had started from the first Heavens. In less than ten days, they had swept through and directly charged to the eighteenth Heavens. These evil demons did not head straight for their destination, the Lingxiao Hall of the Heavenly Court, which was the thirty-second Heavens. Instead, they swept all the way. Just like when the devils entered the village, they killed without leaving a single one behind. It was to prevent them from being surrounded after charging to the thirty-second Heavens.
In the lower heavens, there were also Li Jing's disciples and soldiers. Many of them were veterans who had followed him for a long time and were sent out by him to guard a region. Now, they were being massacred so wantonly. Li Jing could no longer hold back the new hatred and old hatred.
The white clouds moved strangely. Li Jing led the million-strong army and rushed towards the lower realm. Impatience was a taboo for a military strategist, especially for a general. However, humans were not plants. How could they be absolutely calm? Even though Li Jing was a peerless general whose name resounded throughout the six realms, he was still a person with emotions. Moreover, the goal of the Heavenly Court now was to stall for time, to stall for time for the saints and the ancient gods. Guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate was the same as charging to the lower realm.
Li Jing led his Li family army and rushed towards the eighteenth Heavens. It was a race against time. If they went to play, the eighteenth Heavens would definitely be massacred. Perhaps even if they went, they would not be able to change the final outcome of the battle. But at least, they would not sit back and watch their comrades die tragically one by one in the hands of the enemy. Even if they died, they would fight to the death with them with a clear conscience.
The thoughts of a soldier were very simple, but very heartwarming!
However, just as Li Jing led the entire army to charge into the lower realm, and before Erlang Shen could arrive in time, a strange black figure suddenly appeared in the empty Southern Heavenly Gate. It quickly passed through the Southern Heavenly Gate and headed towards the Lingxiao Hall.
