Chapter 1871: Chapter 1871: Draw Blood
The Eternal Road is too vast, and a force as strong as the Divine Martial Empire cannot attack immediately; it requires a long time to communicate and form alliances.
During this time, the Ling Ancestor also sent word to Chu Yuan, inquiring if he needed the aid of the Spirit World, and she was willing to intervene.
Chu Yuan did not let the Ling Ancestor intervene, as the friendly relationship between him and Ling Ancestor was best kept from others, and this battle was not a simple defensive war. Even if the Ling Ancestor intervened, it would not play a crucial role.
What he needed to do was to utilize his advantages and exploit others’ weaknesses.
Inside the second city.
Chu Yuan held the central position.
"Your Majesty."
Yi Tianzun arrived before Chu Yuan.
"Yi Tianzun, what is your view on this battle?" Chu Yuan asked.
"This battle is highly significant. To block Your Majesty’s most powerful path, the empire will face many adversaries, with forces as fierce as tigers attacking. Now, the Saint Emperor Era and the Era of Truth have already raised their banners, declaring open war against us, but they are not the only ones. Some eternal-level forces remain secluded in their realms and haven’t realized yet. Without a doubt, the longer time drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for the empire."
Yi Tianzun is the empire’s strategist and counselor.
"Given the empire’s strength, with Your Majesty at the core of the second city, even if they unite, it would be in vain. However, more eternal-level forces are now attacking. Yu Wen Dao appeared, under the command of Yu Wen Invincible, and there are several eternal-level forces. I can sense them but cannot yet fully calculate their moves."
He spoke with reason.
The empire is facing so many opponents, the pressure is immense; it is not one or two, but many.
"What do you think I will do?" Chu Yuan asked.
"I dare not speculate recklessly."
Even understanding the emperor’s thoughts, he dared not speak carelessly, for serving one’s lord is like dealing with a tiger.
"Many believe I will fight them to the death within the second city, but I will not. That is meaningless, and I am not so foolish. The second city is a symbol; the key is I myself."
Chu Yuan said, "Holding a defensive stand only makes us a static target for others to attack, which is meaningless."
"Your Majesty established the second city to see who would step forward to stop us, and now Your Majesty’s objective clearly achieved, holding onto the second city means only failure. Only by taking the initiative and leveraging our advantages can we win."
Yi Tianzun said.
"You are quite right. Defending leads only to defeat. The multiverse as the empire’s rear base fears no destruction. We can attack freely. War is not just about strength; one must use wisdom as well. How do you think we should fight this battle?"
Chu Yuan again asked Yi Tianzun.
Yi Tianzun did not directly answer but analyzed the situation. "Now, everyone thinks, with so many powerful beings gathering, it is impossible to defend the second city. Indeed, two fists cannot beat four hands. A few eternal-level forces are manageable, but besides the gathering of eternal forces, some smaller forces want to take advantage of the chaos. Although they are not eternal-level, once gathered, they cannot be ignored. They will create a chaotic battlefield, putting the empire in an even more difficult situation."
"In some battles, unrelated parties should not participate. They won’t retreat if you ask; only when they see death will they fear and understand what terror truly is."
Chu Yuan said, "Yi Tianzun, first calculate beyond those eternal-level strong ones to see which ninth realm forces remain, and let’s set out."
The second city’s troop mobilization platform.
"Follow me to battle."
Chu Yuan had Yi Tianzun calculate the presence of a certain force.
"Divine Martial Empire, invincible in battle!"
The empire’s warriors roared, their blood boiling.
Even knowing there are many who oppose them, under the emperor’s command, they fearlessly and ferociously intimidated their enemies.
"March."
Chu Yuan ordered.
The warship ascended, traversing the void, leaving the second city immediately empty.
He left only an empty city, just a symbol. Even if you destroy this city, what of it? With a wave of Chu Yuan’s hand, he could build countless more, letting them demolish them again.
Not caring about the gain or loss of one city, the vital forces are what truly matter.
He struck out, not limiting himself to one city, intending to frighten others by his actions.
Meanwhile, at a very remote location from the Eternal Killing Formation.
The formation shrouded them, and many powerful beings gathered.
"We should not enter the Eternal Killing Formation but wait here."
A bearded old man with black hair laughed lightly.
This man, a ninth-realm Being, the Sect Master of the Bei Yuan Sect, said, "Mountain storms are approaching. The Divine Martial established a second city at the Eternal Killing Formation, and now multiple eternal-level forces are marching towards them. How grand will the commotion be when fighting breaks out?"
"Sect Master, we must be cautious. This is like grabbing chestnuts from a fire."
"Of course, the sect knows, but becoming a ninth realm has brought many life-and-death crises over these decades of eras. Without risk, there are no rewards; sacrifice and gain must be balanced. This indeed is a golden opportunity."
The Bei Yuan Sect Master said, "We shall remain still and allow the eternal forces to clash first. When they do, we will seize the chance from behind. We are not alone in this thought, but the more chaos, the better."
"The Sect Master is wise!"
They all planned to exploit the situation for gain yet would not commit to perilous tasks.
But as they waited silently, soon enough, boom! An Origin Battleship, representing destruction, suddenly charged, enveloping them with terrifying killing intent, as an army charged forth.
The Divine Martial forces killed directly into them.
They believed they were well concealed, but under Yi Tianzun’s calculations, nowhere was safe.
"What’s going on, this... is the Divine Martial army! Shouldn’t he be in the second city? How did they arrive here suddenly!"
The Bei Yuan Sect Master was confused and panicked; he had the nerve to exploit, but no courage for a direct clash with Divine Martial. Seeing the situation, how could he not realize it was a full-scale offensive?
"The Divine... Martial Emperor."
The Bei Yuan Sect Master saw the world-renowned emperor and was terrified, hurriedly explaining, "A misunderstanding, it is all a misunderstanding."
"Such a great misunderstanding indeed!"
Xu Shan stood beside Chu Yuan, spoke coldly.
"We knew the empire would face a great war, hence I, Bei Yuan, came to assist the emperor with our forces. You see, our people are at your command."
The Bei Yuan Sect Master was quick to change his attitude, knowing circumstance overwhelmed man, forcing him to bow.
"Kill."
Chu Yuan would not listen to his explanations.
His assault now was meant as a show of strength. Without killing a group, how would he deter others? He knew too well their tricks to exploit from the chaos.
Chu Yuan wanted them to realize not all matters were theirs to meddle in.
Seeing Chu Yuan unwilling to spare him, the Bei Yuan Sect Master became ruthless, preparing to break through.
Chu Yuan’s tactics were ruthless, sealing time and space, personally killing the Bei Yuan Sect Master.
All the forces he brought were thoroughly annihilated.
"Spread the word, tell the world of the battle status here, and that I am not within the second city."
Chu Yuan, through cruel methods, said, "Yi Tianzun, eliminating just Bei Yuan is insufficient; we still need to eliminate several others as examples, spill some blood to instill fear in some."
