My son is about to break through.

Ancient Beast Mountains.

In the first city.

Yan Yun has already led a large army to garrison here.

"What is the current situation of the Xingchen Empire?"

He looked at a spy in front of him and asked.

The latter replied respectfully.

"General, the Xingchen Empire is only 800 miles away and will arrive tomorrow!"

Eight hundred miles!
If it were a mortal army, it would not be possible to move so fast.

But as an empire, even ordinary soldiers have good cultivation, which means that many aspects must be taken into consideration when marching.

otherwise.

Don't talk about one day.

Even for half a day.

It is estimated that the army of the Star Empire has already arrived at the city.

"Keep exploring, and report any news as soon as possible!"

Yan Yun waved his hand and asked the other party to leave.

Followed by.

He also ordered people to come and report the situation in the other eight cities.

The nine cities that suppress evil support each other. Although the first city is the main defense location, the importance of the other eight cities cannot be ignored.

After learning that all eight cities had made preparations for defense, Yan Yun did not look relaxed at all.

This is because the Star Empire is coming with such force, with tens of millions of troops and quasi-imperial soldiers at their disposal. It goes without saying that this battle will be extremely brutal.

Even if the Shenwu Dynasty could win, it would probably be a pyrrhic victory.

but.

Yan Yun had no intention of retreating.

As a general of the dynasty, he should lead the troops.

Now that Gu Yang has asked him to guard the Nine Cities of Zhenxie, Yan Yun will naturally not step back.

Either win!
Or die!
There is no third possibility!
at this time.

A guard came in hurriedly from outside.

"General, someone claiming to be from the Red Dust Immortal Sect is outside asking to see you!"

"Red Dust Immortal Sect?"

Yan Yun looked puzzled.

Such Central Region forces were naturally somewhat unfamiliar to him.

but.

Yan Yun decided to meet him anyway.

-

Inside Gujiazhuang.

Gu Qingfeng finished a day of practice.

The Nirvana Sutra has already broken through the threshold of the Divine Transformation Chapter and advanced to the Dao Palace Chapter.

but.

For his current ninth-level Saint Realm cultivation, the breakthrough in the Nirvana Sutra did not bring much improvement.

After all, the advancement from the Divine Transformation Realm to the Dao Palace Realm is nothing in the eyes of a saint.

Not to mention just entering the first level of the Dao Palace Chapter, even breaking through to the ninth level of the Dao Palace Chapter would not bring any big changes to Gu Qingfeng.

but.

This does not mean that there has been no change at all.

The reason why any skills can be superimposed is that the cultivator has not really reached the limit in the current realm and there is still room for improvement. Therefore, multiple skills can be superimposed to make one's own strength become stronger.

If a cultivator truly reaches the pinnacle of a certain realm, then even if he practices many techniques, it will be useless.

at this point.

This situation had already occurred when Gu Qingfeng was at the body refining stage.

Arrive now.

Gu Qingfeng felt that he had reached his limit at the Divine Transformation Realm.

However, in terms of Dao Palace realm, there is still some room for improvement, but not too much.

No matter how much room there is for improvement, Gu Qingfeng wants to try his best to reach the end at every level.

Only this way.

He can look down upon his peers.

The Semi-Saint suppressed the Great Saint.

It comes from this kind of confidence.

Of course.

This is also due to the ancient immortal body.

but.

In Gu Qingfeng's opinion.

If there really is a cultivator who can reach the true limit in every realm.

Then the opponent's combat power may not be half as bad as that of a divine body of the same level.

If one were to reach his limit while possessing a divine body, then the combination of the two would make his combat power extremely terrifying.

“If I can push the Saint Realm to its limit, with my ninth-level Saint cultivation, even without using other means, I might be able to compete with the Saint King.

Even if we take a step back and say that he can be compared to the Great Sage of the Ninth Heaven, I believe there will be no problem.”

Like himself now, Gu Qingfeng estimated that if he did not use other trump cards, his strength would at most be equivalent to the sixth level of the Great Sage.

If he activates the three major heavenly veins, he should be able to stand on equal footing with the Holy King.

Gu Qingfeng was not sure if he could compete with the quasi-emperor if he used the imperial soldiers again, but he should not have to be afraid in the Saint King realm.

However, there is a prerequisite here, that is, the Holy King does not have imperial weapons in his hands.

If there were imperial soldiers, that would be a different matter.

After all, the stronger your cultivation, the more power you can exert from the imperial weapon.

For example, Gu Qingfeng, with his current cultivation level of a ninth-level saint, cannot actually fully unleash the power of the imperial weapon.

Today's evil-killing sword.

The tremendous power contained in it made Gu Qingfeng a little frightened.

"My cultivation is not enough. If I were the Great Emperor now, why would I be restricted in my actions?"

"No matter if it's the Star Empire or the evil spirit, we will suppress them all!"

Gu Qingfeng stepped out of the Grinding Hall and looked in the direction of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range. Taoism emerged in his eyes, as if they could easily penetrate the void. The murderous aura turned into a surging blood cloud.

The army has not arrived yet.

The murder is coming!
"It looks like the Star Empire's army is about to arrive!"

Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself, then took a step forward. The space shook, and his figure disappeared in Gujiazhuang in an instant.

Since entering the sage realm, Gu Qingfeng has become more and more in tune with the heaven and earth, and his control over the power of space has become more and more proficient.

No matter how fast ordinary escape techniques are, they cannot compare to direct space teleportation.

Gu Qingfeng only took a few steps to appear in the first city from the capital.

now.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Yan Yun and many powerful people gathered together.

Among them were former military generals as well as powerful figures from various forces who came to help after hearing the news.

The Red Dust Immortal Sect!

Taixu Holy Land!

Biyun Dao Sect and so on.

The moment Gu Qingfeng appeared, no one noticed anything.

It was not until his figure came into everyone's sight that the others suddenly reacted.

"Who is this person!"

On the side of Hongchen Xianzong, Ke Ze and Jiang Yuan's expressions changed.

With their cultivation level at the semi-saint realm, they were completely unable to detect any clues.

more importantly.

The person in front of them gave the two of them the feeling that he was like a bottomless abyss that was unfathomable. Even if they looked at him for a second longer, they might sink into it.

Seeing this change, the two looked at each other, and both showed shock in their eyes.

"saint!!?"

To know.

Both of them are semi-saints.

If we were both semi-saints, it would be impossible for me to give them such a feeling.

But to be a saint is absolutely impossible.

After all, in this Dharma-Ending Age, how can anyone attain enlightenment and become a saint?

unless--

The other party is an ancient saint.

However, the person who came did not have the vicissitudes and decayed aura of the ancient saints.

Just as many cultivators were secretly shocked, Yan Yun had already hurriedly stood up and bowed to Gu Qingfeng.

"Your Highness greets the Emperor!"

"The child has seen his father!"

Gu Xuan also hurriedly stood up and saluted.

behind him.

The strong men from Taixu Holy Land also bowed politely.

They were naturally familiar with Gu Qingfeng.

Not to mention how many times Gu Qingfeng had been to Taixu Holy Land, Jiuzhou was adjacent to the Eastern Region, so the Eastern Region’s forces naturally could not be unfamiliar with it.

at this time.

The others also realized that the person in front of them was Gu Qingfeng, the head of the Gu family.

After all, there was only one person who could be called the Supreme Emperor by Yan Yun from beginning to end.

Immediately.

Ke Ze and others bowed in greeting.

"It turns out that it is the head of the Gu family in person. We have heard of his fame for a long time. Now that we have seen him, we know that the rumors are true!"

"You guys are serious."

Gu Qingfeng also responded with a smile.

at this time.

Yan Yun respectfully invited Gu Qingfeng to the main seat, and then he stood aside and introduced the identities of everyone present to Gu Qingfeng.

The latter also understood this clearly.

Gu Qingfeng had already known the information about these sects and forces, but this was the first time he met them.

At a glance.

There are seven or eight semi-saint masters here alone.

There are no less than thirty Taoist monks left.

As for those below the Dao Palace realm, to be honest, they are not qualified to sit here.

Such a force also caused some fluctuations in Gu Qingfeng's heart.

Yan Yun and others may not be clear about this and just think that these forces are simply coming to help.

But Gu Qingfeng understood that these were the forces that could be mobilized by many death warriors.

This is just the beginning. After a few hundred years of sedimentation, such a force will definitely grow to an astonishing enough level.

but.

It’s too early to say any of this right now.

Gu Qingfeng looked at everyone and smiled calmly.

"With your help this time, I believe the Star Empire will not have to worry about anything!"

"Master Gu, you are joking. With your strength, even if I can't wait, I believe that the Xingchen Empire will not cause much trouble."

Someone immediately smiled in a flattering manner, and the words he spoke were enough to bring the two closer together.

Before actually meeting Gu Qingfeng, many cultivators outside the Eastern Region had some doubts about this legendary strongest person in the Dharma Ending Age.

But after actually meeting Gu Qingfeng, this doubt disappeared completely.

Especially some powerful people in the semi-saint realm could feel the horror of Gu Qingfeng.

In this regard.

They can only sigh and say that there is no false reputation.

but.

Some people also looked worried.

"I heard that the Xingchen Emperor Dynasty brought Quasi-Emperor Soldiers with them this time. Jiang Chen alone can't cause any trouble, but the Quasi-Emperor Soldiers contain the power of the Quasi-Emperor, so I'm afraid it will be a big trouble."

As soon as these words came out.

The smiles on the other people's faces gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn look.

Quasi-imperial soldier!
These three words put them under tremendous pressure.

"I have long heard of the reputation of the Star Emperor Bell, but if you want to destroy our Shenwu Dynasty with just a quasi-imperial weapon, you are not qualified enough."

Gu Qingfeng spoke slowly, breaking the dull atmosphere.

his words.

It made everyone feel inexplicably at ease.

Since this person is so confident, he must have a way to counter the Star Emperor Bell.

now.

Gu Qingfeng looked outside, and the blood cloud formed by the killing had already come into view.

even.

A faint smell of blood wafted in the air.

"They're coming!"

-

Outside the Ancient Beast Mountains.

The army is integrated.

Millions of troops were lined up in a row with great momentum. The silent murderous aura suppressed the sky and earth, causing many monks who were trying to watch the battle secretly to be terrified.

Such a large and elite army made these people smell the breath of death.

"The Ancient Beast Mountain Range is ahead!"

Jiang Chen stood in the air with his hands behind his back, looking indifferently in the direction of the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, and the Nine Cities of Suppressing Evil came into view.

Nine cities.

The army is stationed.

The momentum is also quite big.

but.

Jiang Chen showed no fear at all as he looked at Zhenxie Jiucheng with a cold murderous intent on his face.

This battle.

Not only does he want to conquer the Nine Cities of Suppressing Evil, he also wants to lead his troops into the Nine Provinces and destroy the Shenwu Dynasty.

Even though there was a powerful person in the Shenwu Dynasty who was comparable to the Great Saint Realm, Jiang Chen was not afraid at all.

And his confidence.

It is the Star Emperor Bell in the Dantian.

With this quasi-imperial weapon, the opponent will definitely not be able to cause any trouble.

“Gu Yan!”

"Anyou!"

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, the two of them flew forward.

"Any orders, General!"

"You two will each lead half of the Tianji Army and must capture the other eight cities in the shortest possible time. As for this city, I will be in charge!"

Jiang Chen gave the order calmly.

Although he had to send out 50 million troops of the Tianji Army in one go, Jiang Chen still had enough confidence with the elite troops of the Tanlang Army in his hands.

Three million Greedy Wolf troops.

Enough to break through everything.

In the past, Jiang Chen once led an army of three million Greedy Wolfs to destroy an imperial dynasty and annihilate an enemy force that was ten times larger than his own.

It can be said.

The reputation of the Tanlang Army was earned through real fighting and killing, and is by no means a trivial matter.

In fact.

It's not just the Tanlang Army that is like this.

Each of the other elite armies of the Star Empire had gone through the baptism of blood and countless killings before they could become elite step by step.

Hear the words.

Gu Yan and the other man naturally obeyed the order.

Immediately.

The Tianji army was divided into several parts and launched a direct attack on the other eight cities.

at the same time.

The generals of the eight cities that suppress evil are also prepared to resist powerful enemies.

When they saw the army approaching, a rain of arrows suddenly poured down, covering the sky and the sun.

For a while.

Countless blood flowers bloomed on the battlefield.

These arrows are not ordinary arrows, but arrows made of special minerals, which are enough to break the protective qi of the cultivators.

Even though the weakest of these soldiers were cultivators who had completed the fifth level of body refining, they were unable to withstand the sharpness of the arrows.

But soon.

The Star Empire responded.

A large number of monks in the Divine Transformation Realm flew into the air, trying to be the first to climb the city wall.

But that's it.

A divine light rose in the ancient city, and a huge formation exploded with a loud bang. A terrifying pressure fell, and all the monks in the Divine Transformation Realm who tried to climb the city wall had their bodies exploded in an instant, turning into a blood mist that filled the sky and scattered down.

See this scene.

Both Gu Yan and An You's expressions changed.

"Formation!"

They didn't expect that the eight cities were guarded by formations.

Moreover, judging from the strength of this formation, it is able to instantly kill a group of Divine Transformation Realm cultivators. It is obvious that it is not as simple as an ordinary formation.

but.

The two did not back down.

"Keep on attacking!"

"Any formation has its limits. As long as we break through the formation, the strength of the Shenwu Dynasty will definitely not be able to stop the troops of our Xingchen Dynasty!"

Gu Yan gave the order in a stern voice, and as he spoke, he also attacked blatantly, unleashing all of his semi-saint cultivation, intending to be the first to break through the formation.

boom!
Boom! !

Powerful noises and terrifying fluctuations erupted in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, so powerful that many ferocious beasts fled in panic after sensing the noise. (End of this chapter)
