Chapter 914 - 274: Battle of Mu Ye

The Alliance of Lords finally camped south of the Wei River.

Under Han Zhan’s direction, they set up camp here, lighting fires and cooking meals.

The location for the final battle was set to be north of the Wei River at Mu Ye.

Mu Ye is a vast plain, and looking far across the river, Emperor Xin’s Chao Ge army was densely packed with people, ready for battle.

It was as if a black tide filled the area, heavily armed and prepared.

"Emperor Xin indeed has other tricks up his sleeve."

"The entire Shang Dynasty doesn’t have that many people, yet he conjured this many out of thin air."

"He probably intends to use a human wave tactic to complete the exchange of pieces."

Jiang Ziya, while saying this, instinctively looked at Xiqi’s "army" crossing the river, thinking better of speaking.

He could only offer silence in memory for Emperor Xin.

The Jhin is indeed incredibly powerful.

However, this time, his opponent is truly a child of destiny.

"Achoo!"

Emperor Xin sneezed.

He rubbed his nose, squinting as he also gazed toward the Wei River.

The weather today was nice, sunny with a gentle breeze.

The surface of the Wei River shimmered with light, as if covered with a layer of pale silver glow.

Emperor Xin caressed the [Destiny Mark] in his hand, silently.

He was waiting,

waiting for the allied forces to cross the river, and then he would present a grand surprise.

Revived undead wandered along the riverbank.

At intervals, an undead stood guard.

They were all connected to Emperor Xin’s fate, able to alert him to any disturbances immediately.

At that moment, a large wave crashed onto the shore.

Leaving a layer of silver along the entire riverbank.

No, something was wrong!

The silver on the shore began to visibly move!

The undead who realized something was amiss sounded the alarm, and like zombies, a mass of undead quickly approached the area where the alarm was triggered.

Their movements were swift, bodies crawling on the ground, running madly on all fours.

Their skin and knees were scraped by the rough wild grass and gravel, but they seemed oblivious.

From above, they appeared like thin black streams converging toward the large black river.

This was the undead army.

Fearless, unaware of pain, any soldier of the allied forces who faced them would be defeated instantly.

However.

When a war machine gathered and formed from the silver nanomachines.

All the undead could do was desperately look up at an exaggerated angle, but they couldn’t even see the head of the war machine!

"What... kind of monster is this?!"

Through the eyes of the awakened undead, Emperor Xin watched in astonishment as the giant war machine appeared on the riverbank, his mouth agape.

A curse hung in his throat, nearly causing internal injury from being withheld.

But it proved fortunate he hadn’t cursed.

Because if he had, he would have done so too soon!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A war machine’s back opened, revealing four dark holes.

The next second, the four missile launch ports lit up, and missiles containing terrifying energy launched, exploding with orange-red semi-circular flames amid the dense crowd.

The four semi-circular explosion lights shone on every undead’s face, blinding the Emperor’s Seal observing from afar.

He instinctively closed his eyes, stepping back several paces, watching in shock from a distance.

Explosions erupted everywhere, creating four large craters, instantly clearing vast areas.

The missile launchers slightly reddened, cooling off, while the war machine continued its assault, stepping forward onto regrouping crowds.

War stomp.

Dust storms rose from the ground as a gigantic fist smashed down hard.

In a matter of breaths, countless casualties appeared on the Chao Ge side.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Emperor Xin repeated his earlier exclamation watching this unfold.

No one could answer.

This giant creature, more akin to a siege engine, was completely beyond Emperor Xin’s comprehension.

Using the undead he’d revived against it was like mowing down grass.

Only a few cultivators could avoid attacks while using their skills.

However, their skills were barely effective against the nanomachines.

The situation quickly turned disadvantageous.

"But luckily, if it’s just one such monster, it’s not entirely..."

Emperor Xin’s words trailed off as he saw a second, third, and fourth nanomachine detach from the river and gather at the shore into war machines.

They stood side by side on the riverbank,

forming what seemed like an endless silver dam, a silver great wall Chao Ge could never scale.

"Shit!"

Emperor Xin couldn’t hold back, blurting out.

...

If there was anyone as shocked as Emperor Xin, it would be the allied forces across the Wei River.

Although they had previously seen the massive forms of the war machines, they hadn’t fully grasped their power.

They had assumed these gigantic entities relied on their size to overcome opponents.

So when the semicircular explosions lit up across the river,

the monarchs of the other Vassal States couldn’t help but swallow.

This was a dimension-reduction strike.

"Its power exceeded my expectations," Jiang Ziya observed the battlefield.

This Mu Ye battle successfully opened up the situations, gaining an advantage, easing the pressure on him.

"Time is limited," Han Zhan withdrew his gaze, chuckling lightly.

"If I had a bit more time, I could flatten Chao Ge."

He wasn’t exaggerating.

With the technological advancement speed of nanomachines, in another half month, they might have even developed starships.

Currently, war machines were only considered low-level technology.

As for the missiles launched by the war machines, they weren’t filled with conventional explosives or energy, but Molten Fire Stone and Starlight Stone.

This Fruit World and Blue Star were different; not all materials were available. Han Zhan’s Heaven’s Origin Power wasn’t fully unlocked, using the Creation Skill to make do with local materials.

To create such war machines, just barely passable.

After Han Zhan’s words, Jiang Ziya fell silent for a moment before deciding not to pursue the topic further.

"If I’m not mistaken, the Mu Ye battle will soon enter its second phase."

"Second phase?" Han Zhan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, progressing faster than I predicted, your war machines completely disrupted Emperor Xin’s rhythm. But don’t underestimate him, after all, he is this world’s only Jhin."

As if to confirm Jiang Ziya’s words.

Above the Mu Ye Plain, rapidly cleared by the silver war machines, a terrifying aura spread.

The cloud layers churned, rippling outward, familiar pressure descended.

It was—the Celestial Gods!

Celestial Gods, whose destinies had been devoured by Jhin Emperor Xin, appeared in the sky at this moment!
