The rise of a family, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Tree

The once impregnable defenses of Chengzhou finally succumbed to the overwhelming enemy attacks and collapsed completely.

In an instant, shouts of battle and screams of agony mingled together, echoing through the sky. Hundreds of millions of Zhao soldiers fought bravely in this fierce battle, but ultimately they could not overcome the numerous and well-equipped enemy forces. Countless valiant warriors fell in pools of blood, sacrificing their lives for their country.

Meanwhile, eight of Zhao's most powerful and renowned rulers also perished in this fierce battle. Their deaths were undoubtedly a tremendous loss for Zhao, plunging the entire nation into grief and anger. Fortunately, however, these soldiers bought precious time with their lives.

In the rear, large numbers of troops from various prefectures were urgently deployed to Wangzhou, Leizhou, and Miaozhou. They rushed to the border without stopping, quickly set up defensive fortifications, and stood ready for battle. Every soldier knew the weight of their responsibility and dared not slacken in the slightest.

Above the heavens, a large number of Saint-level experts from the Zhao Kingdom streaked across the sky like meteors, arriving in the air. Among them, the Zhao royal family members, including Prince Ruyang Zhao Wenxing, Prince Anchang Zhao Wenyi, Prince Puyang Zhao Wentu, Prince Xihe Zhao Wensu, and Prince Xiangyang Zhao Wenfeng, took the lead, bringing many powerful Saint-level experts to provide support.

Among these masters were renowned figures such as Hongsheng Sage, Renxuan Sage, Tongzhen Sage, Baoqing Sage, Dushi Sage, and Huayang Sage, totaling over a hundred! Each of them exuded a chilling aura, as if they were war gods from ancient times, bringing endless hope and courage to the people of Zhao.

Undoubtedly, when it comes to speed, the foremost are the peerless experts at the Dao Proving Realm and above in the Zhao royal family.

Among them were renowned Daoist Xianglong, Daoist Anyuan, Daoist Zhiheng, Daoist Jitong, and Daoist Xuangu, totaling more than thirty top experts at the Dao Attainment Realm. Their speed of movement was like lightning slicing through the sky, instantly tearing through the void and rushing over like lightning.

By the time this group of experts arrived in Chengzhou, the situation on the battlefield had already settled. Faced with this situation, all they could do was join forces with the equally powerful Lingxu Daojun and use all their skills to restrain the powerful beings at the Saint Realm and above from the Demon Clan, Feather Clan, and Dragon Clan.

Meanwhile, the Saint-level experts of the Demon Clan, Feather Clan, and Dragon Clan were all filled with resentment and frustration. They never imagined that these unfathomable powerful figures of the Zhao Kingdom would be so wary of them, fearing that their arrival on the battlefield would cause great trouble for the Zhao Kingdom's remaining troops in Chengzhou, to the point that they were willing to expend so much manpower and energy to keep them firmly tied down here.

The slightest movement they made, even the most subtle abnormal action, would immediately unleash a devastating, overwhelming attack from the powerful beings of Zhao Kingdom at the Dao Proving Realm and above. The ferocity and terror of their offensive seemed poised to tear the entire world apart!

The powerful Daoists who came to support Chengzhou, including Dao Lord Xianglong, Dao Lord Anyuan, Dao Lord Zhiheng, Dao Lord Jitong, and Dao Lord Xuangu, were also helpless.

All of Zhao's Saint-level experts in Chengzhou have been killed in battle. If the Saint-level experts of the Demon Clan, Feather Clan, and Dragon Clan are not kept in check, the remaining army in Chengzhou will be in no condition. Their strategy of trading space for time will also be shattered like a dream.

Therefore, they had no choice but to disregard their reputation and keep a close watch on the Saint Realm experts of the Demon Clan, Feather Clan, and Dragon Clan. However, this placed immense pressure on these powerful figures of the Zhao Kingdom, like Mount Tai crushing an egg.

However, not long after, a remarkable scene unfolded. The first to arrive were more than ten Saint-level experts from the Zhao Kingdom, including Hongsheng Saint, Renxuan Saint, and Tongzhen Saint. Their movements were as swift as lightning, their auras immense, like towering mountains descending upon the world.

Following closely behind, a host of powerful princes, including Prince Ruyang Zhao Wenxing, Prince Anchang Zhao Wenyi, Prince Puyang Zhao Wentu, Prince Xihe Zhao Wensu, and Prince Xiangyang Zhao Wenfeng, arrived one after another. In addition, other saint-level experts from the Zhao Kingdom, such as Saint Baoqing, Saint Dushi, and Saint Huayang, also made their appearance.

With the arrival of these top experts from the Zhao Kingdom, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly. Originally, powerful figures at the Dao Proving Realm and above, such as Dao Lord Xianglong, Dao Lord Anyuan, Dao Lord Zhiheng, Dao Lord Jitong, and Dao Lord Xuangu, needed to divert their attention to restrain the Saint Realm experts of the Demon Clan, Feather Clan, and Dragon Clan. But now, they could finally concentrate all their energy on dealing with those even more powerful Dao Proving Realm and above experts.

Meanwhile, on the defensive lines of Wangzhou, Leizhou, and Miaozhou, large numbers of Zhao's pioneering armies surged forth like a surging tide. These armies were well-trained, well-equipped, and highly motivated.

Meanwhile, in the rear, the Zhao state mobilized numerous domestic forces, rapidly assembling elite battle battalions that arrived at the front lines one after another. In a short time, the defensive fortifications of Wangzhou, Leizhou, and Miaozhou were further strengthened, and various strategic materials were systematically deployed. The entire region gradually formed an impregnable fortress.
