As Great Yi ascended to the rank of Sacred Court, just as it braved natural and man-made disasters, all the lurking monsters came out of hiding. Even the Nine Heavens Dao Venerables made personal moves, completely casting aside any sense of decorum.
Yi Tianxing understood clearly:
rejecting the Nine Heavens Dao Venerables during the Immortal Peach Banquet had thoroughly offended them. As long as he didn't yield and allow them into Great Yi, reconciliation was impossible. Their direct intervention was a clear sign—
The mask was off. The hostility was declared.
And if that's the case—why show any mercy?
"Others may fear the Dao Venerables—Great Yi does not.Our rank is no lower than theirs. We do not beg or bend."
"Let's see if the Bloodkill Monument can stand against the will of my realm!"
Yi Tianxing raised his hand toward the Jiangshan Sheji Diagram and declared:
"A Land Like a Painting, United by the Will of the People!"
As his words fell—
The immense Jiangshan Sheji Diagram transformed into a vast, glowing Immortal City. Within its walls, countless human citizens could be seen, their roars of defiance echoing outward:
"Heaven and Earth are heartless—Humanity shall rise!In the face of national peril—we fight first!Until our blood runs dry—we do not cease!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!!"
These cries were not fabricated—they were the true feelings of the people of Great Yi.
This manifestation was the true power of the Jiangshan Sheji Diagram.
Boom!!
The Immortal City collided with the Bloodkill Monument like a comet striking the earth.
With a deafening explosion, the city trembled—but cracks spread across the monument, which soon shattered on the spot, breaking into pieces that rained across the territory of Great Yi, trailing bloody light.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"
Wherever the fragments fell, blood-red figures emerged—
Blood Shura!
Each one was massive, with muscular, grotesque bodies and blood-hued skin.They carried brutal weapons, eyes blazing red, and exuded pure killing intent.
Even decapitating them or piercing their hearts wouldn't stop them from launching deadly attacks.
These were savage and nearly indestructible creatures, created solely for slaughter.
"So it wasn't the Blood Heaven Dao Venerable's real treasure—just a fake monument formed by countless Blood Shura."
Realization dawned.
"But the result is just as bad. The shattered Bloodkill Monument spread Blood Shura throughout Great Yi—likely numbering in the billions!"
"The Blood Shura have horrifying reproductive traits.As long as there's fresh blood, they can spawn endlessly in blood pools.Leave even a few behind, and they'll multiply like vermin.If we don't eliminate them now—they'll haunt us forever."
This was a terrifying threat. And yet, the good news was:
The Dao Venerable hadn't broken the rules by acting directly.
Yi Tianxing took a breath.
"All citizens of Great Yi, hear this decree!Demonic creatures from the Heavenly Demon Realm and Blood Shura from the Blood Demon Realm have invaded our land.Anyone who slays one shall be awarded merit.The greater the kill, the greater the reward.This decree is permanent."
Though Great Yi had suffered losses from the two Dao Venerables' attack, Yi Tianxing made a strategic choice:
He did not immediately wipe out the monsters.
Instead, he allowed the citizens to fight back themselves—a test, a lesson, and a reminder:
Great Yi's peace was built on blood and steel.
And only by remaining strong could they keep that peace.
This was the "Everyone Like a Dragon" policy in action.
This was the moment to prove its success.
"Kongming! Issue orders to all armies in the War Soul Battlefield—mobilize!"
Yi Tianxing's command was sharp and direct:
"Whether it's the Bohai, Caribbean Sea, Demon Sea, or Dead Sea—if they dare attack us while we rise—we'll let them taste the wrath of Great Yi.Our divine might reaches all. Whoever violates our realm—shall be destroyed, no matter the distance!"
The generals bowed.
"Rest assured, Sacred King—we are always ready!"
Yang Ye, Yue Fei, and other army commanders answered in unison.
Even the women among them—Mu Guiying, Hua Mulan, and others—appeared fully armored, standing proudly among the ranks.
They weren't just consorts of the Sacred King.
They were commanders—leaders of million-strong armies.The battlefield was their home as much as Yi Tianxing was.
"Great Yi has never been one to sit back and take hits.Since they dared to come—let them experience the full hospitality of Great Yi!"
Yi Tianxing snorted coldly.
"On the battlefield, I shall send forth my disciples.The rest—I leave to you.March forth and proclaim our might!"
As his words fell, two massive heavenly gates opened outside Xuanhuang City:
One black and demonic, pulsing with malevolent intent –→ The Demon Gate (魔门)
One wild and ancient, exuding primal ferocity –→ The Beast Gate (兽门)
Through the gates stepped forth:
🐂 Blood Moon Bull Demon Generals – hundreds of feet tall, their auras no weaker than third-tier cultivators.
🐉 Nine-Tailed World-Destroying Demon Dragons – from three tails to four tails, radiating rage and annihilation.
As they emerged, four divine rainbows shot out from the gates, spanning the skies toward four major fronts—northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest.
⚔️ Blood Moon Bull Demons
⚔️ Apocalyptic Demon Dragons
They poured forth by the thousands, then tens of thousands, soon numbering millions.
They formed a monstrous army, vast and unstoppable.
Their power lies in:
Endless summoning of disciple armies via seven emotions and six desires
Used as elite shock troops or disposable war machines
The Demon Gate and Beast Gate each produce disciples with superior strength
No fear of loss — they can be endlessly replaced
This hidden trump card stunned even the top cultivators watching.
"So Great Yi had such a hidden card all along... truly unfathomable."
The Carefree Wanderer and others could only marvel.
This disciple army alone could change the tide of any war.
And as Yi Tianxing remained in command—
Yang Ye and all the generals entered the War Soul Battlefield—
⚔️ The true war for Great Yi's sovereignty had just begun.
