In the void of the All-heaven Starfield near the Earth Deer Realm, over ten thousand soldiers from the Southern Remnant Desolation Starfield were engaged in a bitter battle against the Vermilion Bird Starfield's invading army.
Occasionally, there would be Soul Collecting Army soldiers on the battlefield. If they discovered that the cultivators on their side had died in battle but their astral souls had escaped, they would immediately rush over and use secret techniques to collect the astral souls.
As long as their luck wasn't too bad, the cultivators whose astral souls were collected would usually be able to find a barely passable body to cultivate again. Although the degree of fusion between their soul and body was a bit lacking, they were still alive.
None of the participating armies, including the generals, attacked the Soul Collecting Army soldiers. They allowed them to collect the astral souls of the cultivators who had died in battle like a medical team.
The war had lasted for thirty-seven years. The passion and passion of the soldiers had already been completely exhausted. The cultivators and even some of the generals participating in the war could not guarantee that they would be able to survive in the chaos forever. If they were unfortunate enough to die in battle, the Soul Collecting Army soldiers would be their only hope for survival.
After thirty-plus years of battle, the two sides had formed such a cold and special tacit understanding.
It was just like the current battle. If it wasn't for the fact that both sides were rewarded with military merits, the current battle would've been even more boring.
Some of the Earth Deer Realm's military officers were looking at the Vermilion Bird Starfield's invading army with puzzled gazes. It wasn't as if they hadn't experienced such a battle before.
On the contrary, they had experienced such a battle many times. Generally, such an attack would last for one or two days to allow the other side to make their presence known before retreating. After all, in such a situation, if a victor could be decided between the two sides, it would've been decided long ago. Why would there be a need for thirty-seven years of confrontation?
"It's been two days. They should be retreating soon, right?" Such a thought emerged in the minds of many of the generals from the Southern Remnant Desolation Starfield. In fact, they even began to inadvertently focus on defense and reducing casualties when commanding their troops.
Just as the generals from the Southern Remnant Desolation Starfield were having such thoughts, a red dot suddenly appeared in the All-heaven Starfield's sky. The instant it appeared, an indescribable pressure of fear caused the expressions of the generals from the Zhou Tianshen Starfield to change.
"Not good …"
However, at the instant those two words appeared in the minds of Zhou Tianshen's generals, the red dot began to rapidly expand. In an instant, it covered the entire All-heaven Starfield in red.
At the same time, a huge fiery red bird shadow suddenly condensed. Its fiery wings instantly spread out and seemed to cover the entire Wu Army in this part of the void. A loud and clear cry rang out, and the fiery wings that seemed to be able to cover this part of the void suddenly flapped wildly towards the Wu Army in the southern Lu Huang Starfield.
The dark crimson flames instantly swept towards the Martial Army in the southern Overgrown Desolation Star Region like a tidal wave. The Martial Army closest to the flames had already been burned to ashes before the flames even reached them.
Almost at the same time the fiery red bird appeared, an angry roar like rolling thunder came from afar, "Vermillion Bird, you are so shameless!"
"You're the one who broke the rules first. Don't blame me!"
Almost at the same time as the roar sounded, rolling crimson waves seemed to have descended from the sky. Like meteors, they rained down on the Martial Army in the Vermillion Bird Starfield. However, the Vermillion Bird Starfield was already prepared. Close to thirty Zhou Tianshen righteous gods' auras gathered together and formed a light screen that blocked the meteor shower that was descending from the sky.
The Southern Overgrown Desolation Star Region and the Vermillion Bird Starfield had been at war for more than thirty-seven years. Some taboos had already become rules that both sides had to abide by without prior agreement.
For example, the peak existences of the Vermillion Bird Starfield's Matriarch Vermillion and the Southern Overgrown Desolation Star Region's Venerable Chi Huang were both strategic deterrents. They would never personally participate in the war.
The reason for that was because the moment they took action, the ordinary Wu Army would have no chance of survival. This rule that both sides had consciously abided by had been in place for more than thirty-seven years.
This was also the reason why the Southern Overgrown Desolation Star Region didn't dare to push the Vermillion Bird Starfield too far in the past thirty-seven years.
If they angered the Matriarch Vermillion and caused her to attack in a fit of rage, then no matter which side it was, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
However, today, the Matriarch Vermillion had taken the initiative to attack. This meant that both sides had officially torn apart this rule that had been abided by for thirty-seven years. It also meant that the cruelest war between the two sides was about to begin.
In fact, when this war was about to come to an end …
The Matriarch Vermillion let out a cold snort almost at the same time as the rolling crimson waves appeared. She flapped her fiery wings again, causing the figure that had just appeared to give up on the Vermillion Bird Starfield's Martial Army and face the Matriarch Vermillion instead.
This was because the Southern Overgrown Desolation Star Region's Martial Army had suffered heavy casualties from the previous attack. Regardless of distance, all the Star Monarch Realm martial artists within the Matriarch Vermillion's attack range were turned into ashes. Even their astral souls were turned into ashes. Even Envoy Zhou Tianshen, who was close to the Matriarch Vermillion, had perished.
Only those who were slightly further away and had quick reactions would be able to keep their lives.
After the Matriarch Vermillion's attack, the All-heaven Starfield near the Earth Deer World turned into a vacuum. Even the Earth Origin Magnetic Light Screen and the spatial barrier of the Earth Deer World were completely shattered by the Matriarch Vermillion's attack.
As the Matriarch Vermillion fought the super existence that had rushed over from the Earth Deer World, the Vermillion Bird Starfield's Martial Army took advantage of this opportunity to continuously advance into the Earth Deer World.
At the same time, somewhere in the Earth Deer World, Young Marshal Huan Ying's expression suddenly changed. In almost an instant, several tens of Fu Ling suddenly flew out. His figure also soared into the sky.
Five breaths ago.
In less than two breaths after Ling Dong crushed the child talisman of the Matriarch Talisman, an aura so powerful that it suffocated both Ling Dong and Xiang Shuo suddenly soared into the sky from a mountain range behind the Earth Deer World's Star-Constellation Heavenly Monarch.
The aura was so powerful that it felt like a monarch had descended. It instantly pressed Ling Dong to the ground. However, the five astral souls in Ling Dong's body revolved instinctively in an attempt to resist the aura.
It was also at this moment that Xiang Shuo, who was already kneeling on the ground due to the aura, pulled Ling Dong fiercely. Ling Dong was instantly jolted awake from his instincts.
Ling Dong's body went limp as he fell to his knees. At the same time, he withdrew his aura and the five Star Souls that were crazily rotating in his Sea of Consciousness also quieted down.
However, before Ling Dong could kneel down, that aura that was like the descent of a monarch disappeared without a trace in an instant. Ling Dong also pulled up Xiang Shuo, who was kneeling down while wiping away his cold sweat.
"Matriarch Mother has already moved …" A vague murmur that others could not understand came out from the corner of Ling Dong's mouth.
At almost the same time, the talisman light above the Earth Deer World's Star-Constellation Heavenly Monarch's residence fluttered. It was like a hornet's nest that had been stirred up. Many powerful auras soared into the sky and rushed towards the northern Sky Wall.
Matriarch Vermilion Bird's sudden change in attitude had caught the Earth Deer World off guard. She had even attacked the Earth Deer World.
But to the Earth Deer World, which had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, Matriarch Vermilion Bird's move could only throw them into chaos for a while. Almost ten thousand soldiers had been wiped out by Matriarch Vermilion Bird in a single move. They were simply unable to deal any damage to the southern Outpost Desolation Star Field.
Even if they were lucky enough to break into the Earth Deer World, it was simply impossible for them to attack the Earth Deer World.
And after this bitter surprise attack ended, the Vermilion Bird Star Field and Matriarch Vermilion Bird would pay a disastrous price for breaking the rules this time.
Looking at the figures that were rushing out from the Earth Deer World's Star-Constellation Heavenly Monarch's residence, Xiang Shuo could sense from their auras that even the weakest among them was Emissary Zhou Tianshen.
Xiang Shuo's gaze towards Ling Dong was filled with a trace of astonishment for the first time. When he had first received this mission, he had originally thought that the higher-ups were being hot-headed and treating his life as a joke. He had already been prepared to meet his death.
However, when he saw the Heavenly Cycle Divine Envoys and even Heavenly Cycle Divine Generals rush out of the Earth Deer Realm's Constellation Celestial Lord's manor, he suddenly felt that the upper echelons of the Vermilion Bird Realm were being serious. There were a lot of Heavenly Cycle Divine Envoys and even Heavenly Cycle Divine Generals.
However, they still wouldn't be able to escape death!
It wouldn't be difficult to sneak in with his help, but the difficulty of rushing out after being exposed was indescribably high.
"With such a lineup, Heavenly Monarch Mo must have rushed over as well. We can use this opportunity to search for Heavenly Monarch Di's place of imprisonment under the pretext of reporting an emergency to Heavenly Monarch Mo." Xiang Shuo sent another voice transmission to Ling Dong.
Ling Dong nodded and said, "One hour. We only have one hour. If we don't find anything in one hour, we will have to carry out the next step of the plan to coordinate with the army!"
"What's the next step of the plan?" Xiang Shuo took the opportunity to ask.
"We will cause a ruckus in the Earth Deer World's Star-Constellation Heavenly Monarch's residence. We will create a big enough commotion to restrain them and force some of the people who just left to come back here!" Ling Dong sent another voice transmission.
Ling Dong's words stunned Xiang Shuo. What right did they have to cause a ruckus in the Earth Deer World's Star-Constellation Heavenly Monarch's residence?
Just the two of them who weren't even Zhou Tianshen Emissaries?
"Time is of the essence. You take the lead and leave quickly!" Ling Dong urged.
The stunned Xiang Shuo looked at Ling Dong as if he was looking at a madman. He then rushed toward the core area of the Earth Deer World's Star-Constellation Heavenly Monarch's residence.
Perhaps because of the chaos, Xiang Shuo actually used this excuse and his courage to face death to deceive several groups of guards in the Star-Constellation Heavenly Monarch's residence and successfully broke into the forbidden area in the Earth Deer World's Star-Constellation Heavenly Monarch's residence that Xiang Shuo had only been to three times.
"How big is this place? Where could Heavenly Lord Di be imprisoned? "Ling Dong used his Spirit to communicate with Xiang Shuo.
"Let's just barge in randomly. It must be heavily guarded. In any case, he definitely won't be in the south of this place. The south is where Heavenly Lord Mo cultivates and handles official business," Xiang Shuo said.
As he spoke, Xiang Shuo led Ling Dong along a small path and rushed toward a moon door.
"Stop, who goes there!" Just as Xiang Shuo stepped into the moon door, at least six martial artists suddenly blocked Xiang Shuo and Ling Dong's path.
"I am the Second Sentry Captain of the Scouting Post. The Scouting Post under my command has made a shocking discovery. It's a shocking discovery that concerns the safety of the entire Earth Deer World. I have specially come to seek an audience with Heavenly Lord …"
When Xiang Shuo went forward and used such exaggerated words to deal with them, a chill rose from Ling Dong's feet and rushed to his forehead.
This was because he found a familiar person among the martial artists blocking his path!
