Chapter 1328 Chapter 578: Bloody Battle, Immortals and Gods Fall! Heavenly Court Reinforcements!

Yet as that streak of sword light from Wang Ben descended, the situation underwent a shocking reversal.

That seemingly invincible formation light-screen, before this sword light, was actually like paper pasted together.

Only to see the sword light, with a momentum that crushed rotten wood, instantly cleave into the formation's light curtain.

Crack!

This Heroic Pass was split open by the sword light in an instant, without mounting any effective defense at all.

Boom!!!

The barrier of the Heroic Pass was likewise shattered in a heartbeat; the vast golden light-screen, like glass, cracked layer by layer, then exploded with a thunderous crash, turning into countless golden fragments drifting through the air.

"Not good."

"The Qin Army's battle formation power has already surpassed Quasi-Saint Power."

"The Formation has been broken through."

"Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, hear the order."

"Quickly form up! Meet the enemy!"

"Fight the Qin Army to the death!"

The Heavenly Court experts guarding the Heroic Pass saw the formation shatter, and their hearts sank, plunging into despair.

But at this moment, they no longer had any choice.

Aside from gritting their teeth and facing the battle, they had no other path.

At once!

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals stationed atop the Pass shot into the sky.

They were clad in Silver Battle Armor, which under the sun's radiance reflected a harsh, piercing glare. That swathe after swathe of silver armor was like a silver ocean, surging toward the Daqin Elite Soldiers.

Above the Void, the Daqin Elite Soldiers wore black Battle Armor, forming a stark contrast with the Heavenly Court Celestial Soldiers and Generals; black and White clashed, clearly opposed at a single glance.

"Kill!"

Upon the Heroic Pass, a single thunderous shout to kill shook Yun Xiao.

Only to see countless arrow bolts condensed from immortal power, like raindrops, streaking toward the position of the Daqin Elite Soldiers.

Those arrows, bearing a fierce, cutting momentum, tore through the Void, emitting sharp, keening whistles.

"Daqin Elite Soldiers, kill!"

Wang Ben's face was cold and austere, without the slightest hesitation. His gaze swept across the battlefield; then, with a frosty shout, he once more swung the Divine Weapon in his hand.

Instantly.

"Wind, wind, wind!"

"Great wind!"

The wind-shout shook heaven and earth, as if it would scatter everything between heaven and earth to tatters.

Within that wind-shout was contained the boundless battle intent and heroic spirit of the Daqin Elite Soldiers.

With the wind-shout, the five Main Generals of the Lantian Camp's five main battalions immediately led their Elite Soldiers to spread out.

They took each main battalion as a single whole, relying on the Army Soul Battle Array's power to link themselves tightly together.

One hundred thousand troops, attack and defense as one, coordinated with flawless tacit understanding, like a precision war machine operating at full tilt.

Within the camp, there was also an archery corps standing in strict battle readiness.

Only to see one hundred thousand archers arranged in neat ranks, Treasure Bows of Immortal Artifact level in hand, faces grave, eyes resolute.

True Yuan surged from within them without end, transforming into arrow after arrow.

Immediately afterward, countless True Essence Arrow shot forth bearing tremendous power, lofted directly toward the Heavenly Court Stronghold.

In an instant, the rain of arrows covered the heavens and blotted out the sun, killing intent boundless.

At the same time.

The other four great camps assumed an attack-and-defense-as-one posture, charging in a torrent toward the Heavenly Court Stronghold; their steps were in perfect unison, their momentum soaring like a rainbow, and wherever they passed, even the Void trembled.

A great war—on the brink of eruption.

Nor was it only here; at the other locations of Heavenly Court strongholds, Qin's slaughter was likewise successfully unleashed.

Beneath the wind-shout, killing intent emerged.

The entire heaven and earth were permeated with a dense stench of blood and a chilling aura of slaughter.

Meanwhile, the Qin commoners who had originally come to watch in front of the Pass, as well as the spirits on the Nan Zhanbu Continent side, were all utterly dumbfounded. Their eyes bulged, mouths hung agape, faces full of disbelief.

Originally, they had come to watch Xuanzang cross the Pass into the Nan Zhanbu Continent, opening his westward journey.

But never did they expect Qin would suddenly deploy troops today, and moreover strike directly at the Heavenly Court.

This situation was clearly something they had not anticipated at all, had never even imagined.

The spirits on the Nan Zhanbu Continent side were already terrified into scattering and fleeing outright.

They panicked like startled birds, bolting in all directions, trying to find a safe place to hide from this terrifying war.

But on Qin's side, all those commoners and cultivators who had gathered were, without exception, watching this great battle with faces full of anticipation. Excitement flickered in their eyes, as if they were awaiting a grand spectacle.

"Hahaha!"

"To think that coming today to see Master Xuanzang set off west, we can also witness Qin's blades surging westward—exhilarating, truly exhilarating!"

"Indeed."

"This Heavenly Court Stronghold has blocked Qin's western advance; today it will finally be stormed by Qin!"

"Slaughter every last Heavenly Court running dog."

"Hahaha..."

For Qin's countless commoners and cultivators, as they watched Qin mobilize its army at this moment, without exception, every single one was brimming with confidence. They held their heads high and chests out, eyes filled with pride and glory. In their hearts, they did not for a moment believe Qin could lose. This—was the confidence of a nation!

As the great war was ignited, the army's Elite Soldiers as a whole surged toward the Heavenly Court Stronghold to kill.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The Daqin Elite Soldiers and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals atop the Pass came to close-quarters in an instant; the fierce combat was thus fully engaged.

Sounds of slaughter, notes of blood-soaked battle, intertwined together, composing a song of war both tragic and brutal.

In that moment, blood rain poured without end across the Void above, as if even the sky were weeping for this cruel war.

The corpses of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals plunged down one after another, falling like showers of rain.

Immortals and Gods fell, radiance guttered out; their former splendor in this moment turned to mere bubbles on the surface.

Of course, as the attacking side, Qin, by virtue of its mighty Army Soul Battle Array and the fearless valor of its Elite Soldiers, now occupied absolute advantage.

They were like a surging tide, ceaselessly battering the defensive line of the Heavenly Court Celestial Soldiers and Generals; wherever they struck, they smashed through like bamboo.

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

For every Daqin Elite Soldier at this moment, there was only one conviction in the heart—that was to slaughter all Heavenly Soldiers and Generals before them, leave not a single one alive.

In their eyes burned raging battle intent; the weapons in their hands whirled like raging tigers, every strike carrying lethal force.

As Qin launched its savage offensive, the wind and clouds in the heavens above the Void suddenly shifted, thunder rolling. Endless black clouds surged into being, like a massive black curtain, sealing the sky completely.

Within those black clouds, a boundless killing intent seemed to be contained, making one shiver involuntarily.

Vaguely visible, many True Gods of the Heavenly Court were standing upon the cloud tops, thunder coiling around them; their faces were grim, their eyes betraying a trace of anxiety and fury.

"All gods, heed the order."

"Thunder Punishment, annihilate Qin."

At the border between the Heaven Realm and the Mortal World, Wen Zhong's expression was severe; his hands swiftly formed Seals, lips muttering incantations.

Then, with a mighty shout, he drove the Thunder Punishment Power down toward the Qin Army battling below.

That Thunder Power was like raging Thunder Dragons, bearing world-destroying force, howling as they descended.

At the same time.

The many True Gods of the Thunder Department likewise moved in concert. They each unleashed the Thunder Law Power held within their Divine Authority; in an instant, thunder light blazed across heaven and earth, rumbling incessantly.

Mad Thunder Power, like a raging flood, poured down upon Qin's army.

In an instant, thousands upon tens of thousands of bolts of lightning fell from the heavens, like countless Thunder Dragons roaring and galloping, crazily bombarding Qin's troops.

This Thunder Power not only covered the Qin Army before the Heroic Pass that Xuanzang was crossing; it also spread to encompass all Qin forces attacking in the four directions.

The entire battlefield was shrouded in thunder's glare, plunged into Chaos and terror.

"The Heavenly Emperor issues his decree."

"The Qin Court is lawless, time and again offending the Heavenly Court's divine majesty."

"This day, we must exterminate the Qin Court invaders, leave not a single one."

"Kill."

And at this time!

As the gods of the Heavenly Court Thunder Department fully struck, the towering South Heavenly Gate suddenly manifested in the Void.

That South Heavenly Gate was tall and majestic, its might grand and imposing, radiating a sacred and awe-inspiring aura.

Immediately afterward, streak after streak of silver light flowed down beneath the Heavenly Vault.

Each streak of light was filled with strange splendor, dazzling and brilliant.

In the blink of an eye, a million Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, along with several dozen Daluo Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Court, appeared on one flank of the Heavenly Court Stronghold.

Under the mysterious and formidable power of the South Heavenly Gate, they were reinforced directly onto the field, injecting a powerful fresh force into the Heavenly Court's defensive line.
