Chapter 537: Chapter 358: Battlefield Rewards

"To the high ground! For the final battle!"

Responding to Mingyu Divine Lord’s call, Emperor Tathagata commanded his Celestial Calamity Legion to assault the high ground.

Moths, locusts, beetles, Treants...

The Eco-catastrophe Legion looked as if it had burst forth from hell itself. Ferocious and violent, it was a swarming, dark mass that threatened to swallow the high ground whole.

Wang Yi’s Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors followed behind this time, advancing in silence. They seemed quite subdued in comparison.

Meanwhile, atop the high ground, numerous Defense Towers had been erected. They now activated, raining down arrows, rocks, lightning, ice spikes, and more upon the forces below.

Simultaneously, a large fleet of airships rose into the sky from behind the high ground. They sped toward the front lines and quickly joined the fray.

The airships dropped powerful bombs, unleashing ferocious firepower. Their wild bombardment sent bug parts flying and created rivers of blood, inflicting heavy losses upon Emperor Tathagata’s Eco-catastrophe Legion.

"Mingyu Divine Lord, don’t just stand there watching the show! Have your Sword Immortals take out the Defense Towers and those airships first!"

Emperor Tathagata bellowed.

In truth, Mingyu Divine Lord was already directing the Mingyu Sword Immortals in battle. The Sword Immortals were scattered across the sky, directing their Flying Swords from afar to focus fire on the sentry towers, bomb-towers, laser towers, and the airships...

Streaks of sword light, like rainbows spanning the void, were both swift and deadly, rapidly clearing the high ground of its weapon emplacements.

Wang Yi was deeply shaken as he watched the battle unfold. A large group of Tribulation Crossing Stage Sword Immortals had taken action, their Flying Swords blotting out the sky. Their power was overwhelming, sweeping through the defenses with unstoppable force.

In less than three minutes, all the Defense Towers and airships on the high ground were utterly annihilated.

The Mingyu Sword Immortals then ceased their assault, allowing Emperor Tathagata’s Eco-catastrophe Legion to serve as the main force. Now facing no resistance, the legion drove straight forward, sweeping across the land like a tidal wave.

Wang Yi’s Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors followed behind and safely ascended the high ground.

But the Tiger Dominator Legion was not defenseless. A force even more powerful than the Tiger Armor Demons appeared—a troop of Great Tiger Armor Demons. Each stood over three meters tall, and upon appearing, they all threw back their heads and roared.

The roar was a killing blow, making space itself tremble as if invisible bombs were detonating in the void. The entire vanguard of the Celestial Calamity Legion’s fierce assault was blown away.

Suddenly, another figure appeared—a man in white riding a white crane. With a wave of his hand, an Ancient Zither materialized before him.

The man began to play the Zither from atop the crane’s back. As the music started, it formed visible sound waves that rippled through the air.

These sound waves possessed tremendous destructive power. Any contact with them was like triggering an explosion, their force immense enough to shatter solid rock.

When these waves washed over Emperor Tathagata’s Celestial Calamity Legion, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Even the castle-sized Giant Spirit Beetles were blasted to death!

"A master!"

Emperor Tathagata’s brow furrowed.

Wang Yi was also staring at the man in white as information appeared on his display. The man’s name was Xia Qinglin, his class was Chaos Piano Demon, and his level was a staggering 560. He was one of the four Grand Generals of the Tiger Dominator Legion.

A squad slowly emerged behind him. It was a group of white-furred Tiger Armor Demons riding on celestial cranes. They spread out around the Chaos Piano Demon, forming a protective perimeter.

The Mingyu Sword Immortals attacked again, sending a great volley of Flying Swords toward the Chaos Piano Demon. The Chaos Piano Demon remained seated and unmoving as a domain seemed to form around him. As the Flying Swords drew near, their speed dropped sharply, allowing the surrounding Tiger Armor Demons to intercept them.

"The Tiger Dominator Legion uses a level 560 master as a Grand General. They are truly something else! I’ll take care of this Chaos Piano Demon. The rest of you, send your troops to annihilate the ground forces..."

Mingyu Divine Lord spoke calmly. Under his command, the Mingyu Sword Immortals converged. Soon, more than a thousand of them had gathered to launch a united assault on the Chaos Piano Demon.

It was a combined assault from a thousand Tribulation Cultivators, employing Flying Swords, Thunder Techniques, and a myriad of other skills. The Tiger Armor Demons guarding the Chaos Piano Demon were swiftly wiped out.

The Chaos Piano Demon was no longer calm and composed. He was trapped, under constant siege by the Mingyu Sword Immortals, with occasional sneak attacks from Emperor Tathagata’s strange creatures below. He fought to the death, refusing to retreat.

A quarter of an hour later, the level 560 master was overwhelmed and finally slain on the battlefield.

’If he were a real person, he wouldn’t have fallen like this,’ Wang Yi reflected. By now, his Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors had reached the high ground and joined the battle.

With the death of the Chaos Piano Demon, the Tiger Armor Demons on the high ground were no longer a threat. Emperor Tathagata’s Celestial Calamity Legion became an unstoppable tide, constantly advancing and destroying one building after another.

Just then, another master appeared. Named Wang Yinghu, he had a coffin strapped to his back. His class was Coffin-Bearer, and at level 550, he too was one of the Tiger Dominator Legion’s Grand Generals, just like the Chaos Piano Demon.

Upon his arrival, Wang Yinghu stood his ground, whirling a set of massive Chains to face Emperor Tathagata’s Celestial Calamity Legion head-on. After slaughtering several thousand Soldiers, a Black Death Mosquito burrowed into the space between his eyebrows. His body went limp, rendering him unable to attack, and he was ultimately devoured by a Giant Spirit Beetle.

However, despite Wang Yinghu’s death, the Celestial Calamity Legion’s charge was halted. Countless Tiger Armor Demons had massed together, forming a defensive line and letting out earth-shattering roars.

This was a direct confrontation between the two legions. The battlefront stretched for several miles. Both sides fought without fear of death in a fierce, head-on struggle. It was a battle to the death, an unrelenting slaughter that darkened the skies and made rivers of blood flow!

Wang Yi’s Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors, interspersed among Emperor Tathagata’s Celestial Calamity Legion, had also fought their way to the front lines.

The roars of the Tiger Armor Demons, once capable of shattering the Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors’ bodies, now had no effect on them. The Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors had become like little meat shields, seeming incredibly durable.
