"We are indestructible!
We are endless!
The people of the world may die, but my Zhao Clan shall never perish!"
"Stop them! Kill them all!"
Atop the heart, Zhao Feimeng screamed herself hoarse.
She commanded the clansmen to charge at Li Changsheng—that brat with the Eye of the Human Emperor who had, for a brief moment, rendered the Heart powerless.
Zhao clansmen crawled ceaselessly out of the heart, rushing to intercept the Blood Demon Lord and the Seven Ironclads, desperate to stop them from destroying the formation constituted by the Zhao Clan's countless iron towers.
"Motherfucker, why is there no end to them? They're crawling out again! Bastards!"
At some point, Su Chen had rushed back to this battlefield from the Imperial Capital.
Even as a reincarnator from tens of thousands of years ago, facing the eerie spectacle within the Immortal Domain and the Zhao clansmen who constantly returned from the dead, he felt his scalp tingle in horror.
He had never before witnessed such a grotesque opponent.
Ever since becoming part of the Li family, he seemed to have stepped into a completely new world.
The opponents he encountered this time exceeded the scope of his understanding.
He, once the Revered Lord of the Peerless Hall, had been reduced to a mere pawn here.
Looking around, the image of a roaming dragon rose once again around Su Chen's body.
Gritting his teeth, he charged back into the fray.
He had lived in the Azure Cloud Region for many years, yet this was the first time he had seen the seniors of the region fight with such ferocity!
The cultivators of the Three Families and Six Sects, along with the many others from Azure Cloud, had all regained their composure after their momentary panic.
The voice of a Li Clan Elder rang out from the sky.
"Destroy their high towers! Those are the formation foundations maintaining the array that devours Destiny!"
"Leave everything else to us."
As the voice of the Li family member echoed out, Su Chen saw clearly that in this moment, the people of the Azure Cloud Region knew no fear—because the members of the Li family were standing at the very forefront, shielding them from that colossal heart.
Li Yaotie and Li Yaoqing, two existences at the Peak Divinity Transformation realm, stood as the vanguard at the very front line.
Li Yaotie could no longer distinguish who was who; he simply swung a massive iron hammer in a ceaseless bombardment.
He had even summoned the Heavenly Fire Divine Tree.
The area where he stood was left with nothing but lava flowing from the Heavenly Fire Divine Tree and the constant thunder of his hammer strikes.
Li Yaoqing unleashed the power of the "Mountain God," transforming into a colossal tree and drawing down lightning tribulations to slay the enemy—a sacred tree amidst raging thunder.
The four Zhao clansmen who had been tortured to death in the City of Merit had just revived.
Upon seeing Li Yaoqing and Li Yaotie, before they could rejoice for even a moment, they were brutally slaughtered once again.
In the distance.
"Was it you who massacred the Red Spider Lily Immortal City? You were looking for me?!!"
The Skyveil Hall disassembled, transforming into armor that encased Li Yunlin.
Li Yunlin faced the newly resurrected Zhao Qingxia directly.
This so-called "Number One Person Beneath the Void Refining Realm" of the Zhao Clan stood no chance; facing Li Yunlin—who possessed the Skyveil Hall and the inheritance of Ming Daozi's Myriad Dao Immortal Palace—he was wounded by Li Yunlin's long halberd in their very first clash.
Zhao Qingxia's expression was one of terror.
"Impossible. Aside from that freak, how could there be another like you..."
"You are seeing it right now. You had better crawl out of that heart a little faster next time; don't make me wait too long!"
Under the oppressive might of the Skyveil Hall, Zhao Qingxia's eyes filled with horror as his head fell to the ground.
On this battlefield, everyone was fighting with courageous fury.
Su Chen suddenly let out a loud laugh.
He saw Li Xinnian and Nangong Qingya also charging into the enemy ranks.
"Hahaha, wonderful!
So this is the Zhao Clan's 'endless cycle of life, never perishing.
I'd like to see which is faster: your resurrection from the dead, or the killing speed of my Azure Cloud people!"
"Xinnian, Sister-in-law, wait for me!!!"
KILL!
Su Chen was in a killing frenzy, his eyes red with bloodlust.
He did not know why the people of the Azure Cloud Region were so fearlessly fierce; this was, after all, his first time participating in a military campaign of this magnitude.
But... he glanced toward the sky.
All he had to do was charge; he would leave everything else to his elders!
...
"Stop them! You have to stop them!!!"
Beneath the endless night, Zhao Feimeng shrieked from atop the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor's heart.
Space trembled violently, and Zhao Buqun emerged from the darkness of the night.
His expression was grim as he gazed upon the high towers, more than half of which had already been destroyed by the Li clan.
The moment he appeared, the Blood Demon Lord, covered in devilish markings, flashed a dark light from his eyes and charged at him with the body of a Deity Transformation cultivator.
Zhao Buqun annihilated the Mad Blood Demon Lord with a single strike, yet he showed not a hint of joy.
The people of the Azure Cloud Region fought with increasing ferocity.
The speed at which the resurrected clansmen mounted a defense was far outpaced by the speed of the Azure Cloud forces' advance!
In an instant, the familiar silver coffin blocked his path once more.
He was dragged into the Void Refining Space by Li Dalong to do battle yet again.
By the time Zhao Buqun managed to escape from the space once more, the people of the Azure Cloud Region had completely encircled the entire Immortal Domain.
The high towers within the domain had been utterly destroyed.
Even the Zhao clansmen, who had revived time and time again, were huddled together in droves inside the Immortal Domain.
As they gazed out at the panting, exhausted warriors of the Azure Cloud Region, they found themselves completely bereft of the courage to charge out again!
Zhao Buqun, Zhao Jingmiao, and Fairy Bai hovered together above the heart.
"Thud!"
Li Wei pierced through Zhao Tingyu's heart once more, pinning him to the ground.
Glancing at the crowd behind him, he furrowed his brows.
Beside him, his clansmen had gathered.
Li Yaozu was there too, dragging Zhao Wan—whose eyes had completely lost their light—by the hair.
Seeing his clansmen shivering in fear inside the Immortal Domain, Zhao Tingyu roared,
"Attack! The Old Ancestor is protecting all of us. What are you afraid of?!!
Charge out! Kill them all!!!"
Li Wei looked down at Zhao Tingyu with pity and asked once again.
"Do you truly believe you are still alive?"
He looked toward that beating heart, and at the pale-faced Zhao Feimeng atop it.
The heart was still crying out for help.
"Your entire clan, from top to bottom... There isn't a single good thing among you."
"And you, Zhao Clan Old Ancestor, you are filthy through and through.
Your own descendants want to seal you away, yet you expect outsiders like us to save you?"
Pinned to the ground by the long spear, Zhao Tingyu struggled frantically.
"You're lying! I am still alive!
Hahaha, I am still alive!
With the Old Ancestor here, I will never perish!"
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
