Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Killing intent surged from both sides as the battle teetered on the brink. At the North Gate, a Spirit Realm expert from the Qing Zhu Association roared, "Kill!"

At his command, the members of the Qing Zhu Association swarmed forward, charging toward Lin Yun and the others at the North Gate.

Seeing the Qing Zhu Association charge, Luo Feng bellowed back, "Kill!"

The Flawless Palace had no numerical advantage. Their only edge, it seemed, was the array of Thunder Shock Crossbows mounted on the city walls.

When the Qing Zhu Association members were still a kilometer from the gate, dozens of Thunder Shock Crossbows fired simultaneously. In a single volley, scores of their Primordial Ocean Realm Martial Artists were struck down.

They fired in successive volleys, demonstrating the full might of the Thunder Shock Crossbows. After several salvos, over two hundred members of the Qing Zhu Association were dead. But by then, the crossbows’ role in the battle was over.

The enemy had closed to within a hundred meters of the city gate—far too close to use the Thunder Shock Crossbows. It was now time for close-quarters combat.

"Kill!" Luo Feng roared. The Flawless Palace disciples surged forward to meet the charge of the Qing Zhu Association.

The ten Main Seat Elders engaged the ten Celestial Spirit Realm experts, while Luo Feng and the other two Supreme Elders confronted the three powerful Spirit Realm masters.

Even though the Thunder Shock Crossbows had killed over two hundred of them, the Qing Zhu Association still outnumbered the Flawless Palace disciples.

"Kill!" By now, Lin Yun had undoubtedly become the backbone of the Flawless Palace disciples. Though he couldn’t influence the duels between the Celestial Spirit and Spirit Realm experts, the most critical part of this war lay with the Primordial Ocean Realm combatants.

This was for two reasons. First, the Primordial Ocean Realm martial artists were the most numerous. Second, the Qing Zhu Association held no advantage among the Celestial Spirit and Spirit Realm experts; their true strength lay in their superior numbers of Primordial Ocean Realm Martial Artists. Therefore, if the Flawless Palace could rout the Qing Zhu Association’s Primordial Ocean Realm forces, the battle would be decided.

Lin Yun led the five hundred Flawless Palace disciples in a charge against the Qing Zhu Association’s Primordial Ocean Realm Martial Artists, with Little Ape, as always, at his side.

In an instant, Little Ape—who was originally only the size of a fist—transformed into a peerless, ten-meter-tall beast of immense power.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! Little Ape’s colossal form crashed into the ranks of the Qing Zhu Association Martial Artists, its continuous roars echoing across the battlefield. Its blood-red fur was a terrifying sight, and it greatly bolstered the morale of the Flawless Palace forces.

Little Ape’s sudden appearance not only stunned some of the Qing Zhu Association’s Martial Artists, but it also ignited a savage fire in the Flawless Palace disciples. Wielding their Spirit Soldiers, they threw themselves into a bloody melee with the enemy.

The combatants on both sides were no fools; they knew the power gaps within the Primordial Ocean Realm were vast. As soon as the two armies clashed, the warriors from both the Flawless Palace and the Qing Zhu Association tacitly sought out opponents of a similar level.

Early Stage fought Early Stage, Middle Stage fought Middle Stage, and Late Stage fought Late Stage.

As for Lin Yun and Little Ape, their Combat Power was so immense that they were practically invincible in a battle between Primordial Ocean Realm cultivators. The moment they plunged into the enemy ranks, Lin Yun began a frenzied slaughter with his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear.

Those at the Early and Middle Stages of the Primordial Ocean Realm couldn’t withstand more than a few of his moves. Only Late Stage Martial Artists could put up some resistance—but it was only resistance. In the end, they could not escape their fate of being slain by Lin Yun.

Just as at the North City Gate, great battles had also erupted at the East, South, and West gates.

The Qing Zhu Association’s numbers were vast. Fortunately, the Flawless Palace had the Thunder Shock Crossbows on their side, as well as Demon Fiends like Wei Yunhang and Lin Yun. With the addition of the exceptionally talented Ten Core Disciples, they were able to hold their ground.

With attacks launched on all four sides, the sounds of slaughter from the city gates echoed into Wind City. The common folk locked their doors and windows, hiding in their homes and trembling in fear.

Against a war of this scale, ordinary citizens were helpless. All they could do was hide in their homes and await the outcome.

Just as Lin Yun had predicted, as soon as the Qing Zhu Association began their assault on the four gates, their hidden members inside Wind City revealed themselves and began a random slaughter.

However, the moment they appeared, they were engaged by the disciples from the great families that Lin Yun had placed within the city in advance. Furthermore, a Supreme Elder from the Flawless Palace was also stationed inside Wind City to oversee the situation.

The bloody conflict stained all of Wind City. From the four city gates to the city’s main streets and back alleys, battles raged everywhere.

As the war raged, Luo Feng and the others were occupied with their opponents, as were the ten Main Seat Elders. They had no time to concern themselves with the battle among the Primordial Ocean Realm disciples.

Now, the Qing Zhu Association’s numerical advantage among the Primordial Ocean Realm Martial Artists began to tell. It was common to see two of their members ganging up on a single Flawless Palace disciple. Soon, the Flawless Palace forces were at a disadvantage.

"Kill!" Having already slain three Early Stage and three Middle Stage opponents, Lin Yun was now locked in combat with a Late Stage Primordial Ocean Realm Martial Artist from the Qing Zhu Association.

The two had exchanged dozens of blows. With a loud roar, Lin Yun unleashed his prepared attack. In an instant, Dual Dragon World Destruction shot forth from his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear.

Two hundred-meter-long Dragon Shadows, intertwined, charged toward the Qing Zhu Association member. A sky-shaking dragon’s cry echoed through the air.

The attack instantly consumed the man’s body. The two Dragon Shadows then rampaged across the battlefield like wild beasts, devouring four other Qing Zhu Association members before soaring into the sky and dissipating.

With a single strike, Lin Yun had eliminated five members of the Qing Zhu Association. His Combat Power was truly immense, but it was clearly not enough. The Qing Zhu Association had fully double the number of Primordial Ocean Realm Martial Artists as the Flawless Palace.

Besieged by the Qing Zhu Association, some of the disciples began to show fear, their Battle Intent waning.

In a clash of armies, morale is paramount. The side that succumbs to fear first is not far from defeat.

Sensing the fear in the hearts of the Flawless Palace disciples, Lin Yun ran his spear through the chest of a martial artist at the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. Hoisting the corpse high, he roared to the other Flawless Palace disciples.

"Do not be afraid! Kill! Brothers, follow me and let us slaughter the Qing Zhu Association!"

As he finished speaking, Lin Yun sent a jolt of Elemental Power through his spear. The man’s corpse instantly exploded into a bloody mist that rained down upon the earth.

Roused by Lin Yun’s cry, He Yuntian and Bai Zhicheng also roared, "Kill!"

"ROAR!" Little Ape let out a furious bellow.

The Flawless Palace was badly outnumbered. Relying on his supreme Combat Power, Lin Yun darted back and forth across the battlefield, rushing to the aid of any Flawless Palace disciple who was being surrounded and overwhelmed by the enemy.

Gradually, the Flawless Palace disciples fought with increasing courage. Under Lin Yun’s leadership, their morale slowly began to overwhelm that of the Qing Zhu Association.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The battle cries resounded across the field. Through his actions, Lin Yun had reignited the blazing fighting spirit in the hearts of the Flawless Palace disciples.
