The armies quake in unison!
"The Undying Phoenix!"
"It seems the king has seriously underestimated you. I didn't expect your forces to display such strength and even a Spiritual God Tool, which is even more shocking than when we faced each other last time in the Suspended Imperial City. It's no wonder you swiftly annihilated a Seven-Fold God Confinement cultivator.
Your ability to hide your true power is admirable," King Xi Yang reluctantly admitted through gritted teeth, locked onto Zhu Fengfeng, whose Undying Phoenix illusion had appeared.
A Spiritual God Tool can significantly enhance one's power level — King Xi Yang owning one himself allows him to assassinate any deity at the same level.
What he didn't expect was that Dawu had not only obtained the Sun-Moon Halo from the Suspended Forbidden area, but also a subordinate at God Form level who possesses a Spiritual God Tool.
"And there's more to surprise you."
"Is that so," replied Chu Yuan calmly, casting his gaze over the entire battlefield.
Zhu Fengfeng, being already at the sixth level of God Confinement, now wielding the power of the Undying Phoenix - the iconic phoenix bloodline of the demon clan, added onto wielding the Phoenix Blood Sword; her power could be compared to those at the tenth level of God Confinement. At the moment, she was like an unstoppable deity of death on the battlefield.
The Undying Flame, a Phoenix Fire that envelops the skies!
With a sweep of Zhu Fengfeng's sword, countless undead were consumed by fire. It was as if a meteor shower had fallen into the army of the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, reducing it to an inferno in an instant.
If an invincible powerhouse dimensionally strikes lower-level existences, it virtually results in a sweep.
"Stop her! Don't let her go on a rampage!"
With increasing unease, King Xi Yang commanded his two deputies, both of whom were at the ninth level of God Confinement, to unite and attack Zhu Fengfeng.
The deputies were originally meant to be hidden and were intended to inflict major damage by unexpectedly storming into Dawu's forces, but they had to be used ahead of time due to Zhu Fengfeng's offensive.
On the battlefield, the fight was stuck in a deadlock with traces of brutality everywhere.
An army officer whose power had reached the God Confinement state plunged his long spear into the body of a God Confinement cultivator. The latter broke into a grim smile, exuding an unparalleled power in exchange for his life and ferociously killed the attacking War God.
That God Confinement being just died!
But the body of Chu Yuan's War God was nearly fractured, rendering him no longer able to fight.
Suddenly, the War God Pool of the War God's Hand erupted with an absorption force that drew the damaged War God into it.
Chu Yuan knew that the War God Pool is the core of the War God Army; it acts much like a pool of resurrection, promptly using the pool's War God energy to repair the War God.
The more significant the damage they suffer, the more War God energy they require for repair, and the longer they take to recover. The War God energy within is catalyzed from spirit stones.
To fight again, each God Confinement War God must consume tens of millions of spirit stones for successful repair.
Should they be completely shattered, hundreds of millions of spirit stones may still not be enough for their repair.
The War God Army may be formidable, but their consumption is enormously heavy.
What King Xi Yang least anticipated was Chu Yuan having the War God Army stop over 70% of his powerful beings while simply relying on the power of the soldiers to gain no upper hand. Losing heavy soldier strength in the fierce battle enraged him.
"This has been going on for too long. We can't continue ."
Even battles involving millions of people would require an extended period before a clear victor emerges, let alone historical battles with hundreds of millions. These can run until the sky darkens and the mountains crumble.
The battle had already lasted a full day and night; over ten thousand out of Chu Yuan's fifty thousand War Gods were vastly wrecked, and they returned to the War God Pool. The opponent also suffered heavy losses.
"This battle will last a long time."
Upon looking at the endless battlefield, a smile appeared on King Xi Yang's face: "Martial Emperor, this is probably all of the power that Dawu has— but my Suspended Imperial Dynasty's endless elite soldiers are converging on the border. If this continues, it won't be good for you."
"Your Majesty has foreseen this point long ago; as such, he left nothing to chance."
Chu Yuan did not show any anxiety or panic; instead, he smiled.
"What else do you have up your sleeve?" The words sank into King Xi Yang's heart, and he immediately sensed something wasn't right. He roared, "The Spiritual God Tool, could it be those rings of light?"
"Reawaken, Sun-Moon Halo!"
Chu Yuan suddenly moved. Control over the imperial destiny was channeled into the Sun-Moon Halo. The power erupted in an instant, radiating immeasurable brightness as the power of the eternal sun and moon alternated, as mighty as the mountains and oceans.
"The power of a God Position!"
King Xi Yang detected the power that only a God Position can possess from the Sun-Moon Halo.
That's right: when the Sun-Moon Halo combines, it channels power equivalent to a God Position.
Although some material for making superior divine artifacts may not be inferior to Spiritual ones, the main difference is that it doesn't give birth to the singular spirituality of the Spiritual God Tool.
The birth of spirituality signifies the difference between the living and the dead.
It is said that some powerful divine artifacts have cultivated their own wisdom, controlling themselves to create an Immortal Dynasty.
Ever since Chu Yuan took the two Sun-Moon Halos back to Dawu, vast imperial fortune was gathered and given to them, helping them to revive their spirituality. The combined power of the two originally had a touch of a superior divine artifact's power.
A superior divine artifact is a rare existence; even those at a God-Strength level are nearly unable to craft one.
Chu Yuan's belief in imperial fortune is purer than other kingdoms' as it is the faith encouraged by the Emperor Sutra. The spiritual purity quickly helped the Sun-Moon Halo to improve, giving it the power commensurate with the first level of God Position.
The power of the Sun-Moon Halo explodes utterly!
"Kill!" Chu Yuan raised his hand.
Carrying the fortune of the empire, the massive Sun-Moon Halo transformed into a sharp wheel and directly plunged into the armies of the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, killing as if cutting through grass. In the blink of an eye, countless soldiers were cut in half.
As the battle began, Chu Yuan did not allow the Sun-Moon Halo to explode with full power; he knew that the Suspended Imperial Dynasty was at its peak.
Even if he had used it, the damage would be very limited and King Xi Yang could also immediately adjust his battle formation.
Now that the battle has progressed to this stage, both sides are somewhat exhausted, and they are all mixed up in fight. The Sun-Moon Halo only needs to distinguish whether each person has the blessing of Dawu's national fortune then proceed to slaughter them.
Even without Chu Yuan controlling it, the Sun-Moon Halo explodes with power equivalent to a God Position. Once it enters the battlefield, it results in an outright massacre.
Especially when most of the strong players of the Suspended Imperial Dynasty have been tied down. Even more unstoppable, the Sun-Moon Halo doesn't target enemies above the God Confinement level but rather kills within their army, conducting a large-scale harvest.
The sudden change in the battlefield, with the entrance of the Sun-Moon Halo, resulted in the situation drastically changing immediately.
"The whole army advances, decimate the Phantom Army!"
Chu Yuan swung the Emperor's Sword, like a beacon guiding the Dawu Army to launch the final assault.
His voice at this moment also spread into the entire battlefield, further boosting morale, even stronger than the effect of the dragon roar horn.
