The Demon Abyss Army must be eradicated.
Chu Yuan only has two choices for battlefields.
First, he can face the Demon Abyss Army in his own Great Wu Imperial City.
However, in this battle that would involve more than a hundred God Position beings and one Transcendent God, the destruction would be tremendous.
Even Chu Yuan's Imperial City might be destroyed in the process, wreaking havoc on the Imperial Dynasty. If the battle continued unabated, the extent of devastation would be beyond imagination.
Secondly, he could advance the battlefront to the as-yet-unconquered Floating Imperial City and fight the war there, thereby retaining the initiative in his hands.
Chu Yuan would prefer to fight this battle in the Floating Imperial City rather than in his own Imperial City.
Five Grand Armies and the Divine Martial Army, summing up to a total of 150 million forces, mobilize this time!
He alchemized on a massive scale, collaborating with the powerhouses of an entire territory to assemble 150 million Original Spirit Realm beings.
In addition, there were 150 million ferocious beasts relocated from the Demon Territory forming the punitive expedition.
An immense army of three hundred million instantly mobilize, all of these beings were strong individuals above the Original Spirit Realm. Their momentum tore through the void and whipped up endless storms—pushing terror to its extreme!
Even though the Floating Imperial City could not amass so many Original Spirit Realm beings, Chu Yuan has accomplished this by uniting the forces of two territories.
In an instant, the three hundred million-strong army, under the leadership of their respective commanders, closely follow the Divine Martial Army's central forces from Great Wu towards the Floating Imperial City.
Even though the Floating Imperial City was located far away from the Great Wu Imperial City, every member of his grand army were powerful Original Spirit Realm beings possessing the ability to fly in the sky. Thus, their speed was rather swift.
If it were in the past, the lord of the Floating Imperial City would not have had enough prestige to command such a powerful army.
Yet Chu Yuan's Ancient Emperor War Chariot resided in the center, shining as brilliantly as eternity.
Everyone saw an ancient and holy emperor, radiating an unbeatable light of victory, guiding every individual forward.
The national fortune of Great Wu was far more profound than that of the Floating Imperial City, at a scale incomparable to a normal national destiny.
In the past, it was every man for himself; now, they were fighting together with unity, thereby naturally increasing their fighting power to a level beyond comparison.
The army mobilizing for ten to twenty days finally entered the boundary of the Floating Imperial City. Everywhere they looked, they saw carnage and scenes of arson, looting, and pillage. Displaced civilians fleeing the chaos of war were scattered everywhere; the former glory was nowhere to be seen.
However, once the Demon Abyss Army is vanquished, the former prosperity could be restored.
"Floating Imperial City!"
After a few more days, Chu Yuan finally sighted the Floating Imperial City.
Though the city remained grand, it was in a state of ruin, stripped of its former glory and surrounded by Demonic Qi, forming a terrifying image of a Demon God. It appeared to be a chasm that would devour the Great Wu Army.
During his first visit, he was taken by its flourish and grandeur, symbolizing the peak of the realm.
On his second visit, the city was desolate and seemingly on the verge of collapse—like the doom of the Floating Imperial City.
"The forces of the Great Wu Dynasty have arrived!"
A dozen giant flying boats hovered around the Floating Imperial City. Upon observing the arrival of Chu Yuan's grand army, they released simultaneous, cold, mocking laughs.
"They finally arrived, I have waited for them for a very long time."
Qi Zhen looked toward Chu Yuan's grand army.
A horn blowing as if emanating from the Abyss of Hell resounded. Upon the arrival of the Great Wu Dynasty's Forces, Qi Zhen did not waste any words with Chu Yuan. He immediately blew the horn and instantly pushed forth tens of thousands of pitch-black colossal cannons.
The Demon Abyss Legion naturally has its own cannons too!
Hundreds of thousands of Demon Abyss Cannons fired simultaneously, leaving no room for Chu Yuan to rest nor for the great army to set up their formation. Once they're within shooting range, these cannons simultaneously spew out a terrifyingly destructive light.
The power of the Demon Abyss Cannon is by no means inferior to the previous Siege Cannon.
"This is the brilliance of war."
Qi Zhen surveyed the entire battlefield, saying, "Though they have a Siege Cannon, our Demon Abyss Cannon is not inferior to theirs, and we have seized the advantage. We have deployed the Demon Abyss Cannon early and can directly tear their army apart."
Many existences in the God Position gathered around Qi Zhen.
So many Demon Abyss Cannons roared as soon as Chu Yuan's army arrived, and even God Position powerhouses could not completely block them.
This Qi Zhen is a formidable character, deliberately waiting for Chu Yuan to arrive, using the cannon to destroy the living forces on Chu Yuan's side.
"Cannon attack, huh?"
Chu Yuan, atop the ancient emperor's chariot, coldly watched as hundreds of thousands of destructive rays were fired: "But I have been prepared."
Confronting the Demon Abyss Legion is not as simple as fighting the Aerial Imperial Dynasty. Although there are only several billion people, the number of troops seems small, but the accumulation of resources is not something the Five-Star Imperial Dynasty can compare to. The battle will be more fierce.
"Continue to blast with the Demon Abyss Cannon, making it impossible for them to set up a defensive line of war, first consume a large number of their powerhouses, then directly tear apart. Not bad, extracting so many God Position rules is also a huge wealth."
As soon as Qi Zhen opened his mouth, his pupils suddenly constricted.
A large number of ominous shadows suddenly appeared in the front. The Demon Abyss Cannons did not fall behind the army, but hit these thick spiritual lights!
This spiritual light is Chu Yuan's Spiritual Light Array!
The Spiritual Light Array was arranged with seventy-two Array Plates, placing the formation in seventy-two locations, driven by Spirit Stones, can immediately form a tightly defended array.
"An array capable of blocking the Demon Abyss Cannon has actually appeared in this Great Wu Dynasty. What kind of person is this Martial Emperor?"
Qi Zhen's face showed incredulity.
The Demon Abyss Cannons kept roaring, bombarding the Spiritual Light Array, causing the formation to shake madly.
Nevertheless, the array Chu Yuan released was only meant to buy time; it wasn't expected to defend for long. At the rear of the army, belonging to Dawu, hundreds of thousands of Siege Cannons were also quickly set up.
At the moment the Spiritual Light Array was withdrawn, Chu Yuan's Siege Cannons were ready.
The Siege Cannons also spewed out extremely vigorous beams, fiercely attacking the Demon Abyss Legion.
Seemingly realized that Chu Yuan's side was not easy to mess with; much more troublesome than the previous Aerial Imperial Dynasty, Qi Zhen did not order the Demon Abyss Legion to attack immediately.
Moreover, they enjoyed the protection of the Aerial Imperial City, possessing advantages of both time and location. A considerable part of the army hid in the Imperial City, while the other side was in an endless wilderness. If they really started a cannon war, the disadvantaged position would absolutely be Chu Yuan's army.
Both sides' cannons began to attack each other.
"Keep on wasting him and he will die eventually!" a strongman from the Demon Abyss Legion said fiercely.
The terrifying cannon beams from both sides collided and exploded in the void.
"It's time for my Thunderbolt Cannon's first appearance."
As Chu Yuan spoke, fifty thousand War God troops quietly moved away from the main force with the Thunderbolt Cannon, set up a gun emplacement, and aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the Demon Abyss Legion!
