Book 21, Chapter 8 - Descent

    Daomother Devilhand stood atop the castle walls, the ck-robed Godking next to her.


    They stood shoulder-to-shoulder, staring at the distant wilderness. The army of the Seamless Gate was there, calling out for battle.


    “Are you sure that they haven’t found out that you brought an Envoy of All Things?” Daomother Devilhand asked.


    “Don’t worry, aunt-master,” the ck-robed Godking said hurriedly. “I personally went to collect the Envoy of All Things. How could I possibly allow the Nuwa Alliance to find out about it? In addition, the Envoy only requires a single Empyrean God/True Immortal in control. While I was in the Allfiend world, I also brought along Empyrean God Bloodwave. This, too, was kept a secret. Empyrean God Bloodwave is extremely skilled in closebat; he was our number one choice for controlling an Envoy during the final war for karmic luck. With him in control, the Envoy will be able to unleash more than enough power and be capable of rivaling elite Daofathers.”


    “Although their Pangu Genesis Formation is quite powerful, it’s one of the three guardian formations left behind by Nuwa! All three of them have tremendous power, but in order to unleash it they need a True God or Daofather to serve as the core of the formation. They have True Immortal Jimin, who mastered the [Five Treasures], serving as their core, which means that the size, scale, and power of the formation is much weaker now. It is just barely a match for elite Daofathers; there is still a significant gap in power between it and our Envoy of All Things.”


    “The sudden appearance of the Envoy of All Things will immediately disrupt the bnce of the battlefield. Don’t be fooled by how seamless Xuan Yuan appears to be in moving around his forces; once a copse starts, it will beplete and total.” The ck-robed Godking was quite confident.


    “Mm.” Daomother Devilhand nodded. “I hope this Envoy of All Things truly is as formidable as you say.”


    The Envoys which the Lord of All Things had created were indeed quite powerful; they had proven their strength during the war that ended the Primordial Era. But the Envoys created by the Seamless Gate were developed by Grandmaster ckheaven. Grandmaster ckheaven was a peerless talent in the Dao of Golems who the Lord of All Fiends had found in some unknown ce. He was actually also capable of creating these Envoys, and the power of his Envoys seemed to be equivalent to those which the Lord of All Things had made.


    “They areing out.” The ck-robed Godking’s eyes lit up.


    “They finally came out. Xuan Yuan...” A hint of a cold light flickered through Daomother Devilhand’s eyes. “This time, I’m going to make you crumble.”


    Boom! Boom!


    Both armies once more charged towards the other.


    The Nuwa Alliance’s army had a slight edge to begin with. With Xuan Yuan’s truly superb military skills, the Nuwa Alliance’s advantage was even more apparent. Although Daomother Devilhand was also skilled inmanding her troops, asional setbacks still urred for her forces.


    It was just like all their previous shes. Each time, the Seamless Gate’s forces would be whittled away slightly.


    “Hmph.” Atop the castle walls, Daomother Devilhand sent a mental order. “Release the Envoy of All Things.”


    ......


    On the field of battle, the Pangu God and the two Infinity Fiendgods battled with the most ferocity.


    The Pangu God formed by the Pangu Genesis Formation held an utterly enormous sword in its hands, executing sword-arts that all exceeded the limits of the Heavenly Daos. It naturally possessed nigh limitless power. As for the two white-haired, red-eyed Infinity Fiendgods, they were quite powerful as well. The Infinity Fiendgod Formation had been developed by Keeper Everwood, after all, and he had poured endless amounts of blood and sweat into it. Both Infinity Fiendgods were dressed in iparably precious Protocosmic spirit-armors, which they relied on to defend against the Pangu God’s terrifying sword-arts. Both Infinity Fiendgods supported each other at all times, and so although they were at a disadvantage, they were still able to hold on against their foe.


    “Kill.” The Jimin-Pangu was extremely calm. He was waiting...waiting for his foes to make a mistake!


    No matter how well those two Infinity Fiendgods fought together, they were stillmanded by two different people, not one. In a fric, high-powered battle, it was inevitable that they would eventuallymit mistakes. Once they made a mistake, he would seize the opportunity to wipe out one of them. Once one was destroyed, the other would not be of any concern at all.


    “What’s that?!” The Jimin-Pangu was shocked to discover that behind the two Infinity Fiendgods, an ape-shaped figure had suddenly appeared out of thin air without any warning. This creature’s entire body was wreathed in mes, and its aura was so powerful as to instantly stun the Jimin-Pangu. In fact, the subconscious sense of danger emanating from this creature was so strong that he couldn’t help but mentally shiver.


    “Jimin, be careful! That’s an Envoy of All Things.” Xuan Yuan’s voice immediately rang out. “Ignore those two Infinity Fiendgods; I’ll send people to help you block them. Focus on defending against the Envoy!”


    “Alright!” The Jimin-Pangu instantly understood. He had heard of these Envoys long ago, but he had never seen one of them in person before.


    ......


    As soon as the Envoy appeared, Xuan Yuan’s face instantly changed. However, he remained cool and collected as he quickly began to redeploy his forces, squeezing out every drop of power he could to relieve the pressure on the Jimin-Pangu, so as to let him fight against the Envoy without worrying about anything else. That way, the Jimin-Pangu would have at least a sliver of a chance of defending against the Envoy of All Things.


    However, if the white-haired, red-eyed Infinity Fiendgods were allowed to join forces with the Envoy, then the Jimin-Pangu would definitely suffer a swift defeat. And once he copsed...the entire field of battle would copse.


    “Stop them.”


    “The five of you, go block the Seamless Infinity Formation closest to you.”


    “The two of you, retreat and stop that group of golems!”


    Xuan Yuan was processing many things in parallel, sending simultaneous orders to all the major formations as well as the Sevens Gods.


    The entire battlefield suddenly transformed in a chaotic, disastrous way.


    Atop the city walls. Xuan Yuan was watching over the entire battlefield here, quickly redeploying his forces. Next to him were Subhuti and Suiren, and their faces had turned grave.


    Ji Ning and the other disciples standing behind them were even more frantic than the three.


    “Not good.” Ning instantly saw the situation turn grim for their side. “In order to allow the Jimin-Pangu to safely focus on dealing with the Envoy of All Things, he’s sending the Sidereal Star Formations and Myriad Immortals Armageddon Formations to keep the Infinity Fiendgods tied down. Although this will make things a bit easier for the Jimin-Pangu, that means everyone else will now be under much greater pressure.”


    Their strongest asset on the battlefield was the Jimin-Pangu. Before the appearance of the Envoy, the strongest assets the enemy had were those two Infinity Fiendgods! Defending against the two of them put enormous pressure on the rest of the army.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The distant Jimin-Pangu was exchanging blows with the Envoy of All Things.


    “AWUUUU!!!!” The fiery, ape-like Envoy of All Things raised its head, bellowing with utter madness as itshed out with its long ws.


    ng!


    The Jimin-Pangunded a piercing blow on the Envoy with a streak of sword-light, but the only result was a clear, ringing sound. The blow didn’t manage to prate through at all! The Envoy, however, became even more savage, its sharp ws filling the skies with endless attacks, with theshing whip-strikes from its simian tail also possessing astonishing power. The Jimin-Pangu was at aplete disadvantage in this battle.


    “They are beginning to retreat.” Ning, watching from far away, was immediately able to notice that their entire army was moving backwards, receding slowly as a whole, like the receding ties of the sea.


    “What an incredible figure Xuan Yuan is.” Ning couldn’t help but feel admiration for him. If an ordinarymander was in charge, once their side was unable to withstand the enemy attacks, they would begin to crumble and break apart; it would be extremely hard for the army to retreat intact. But despite the adverse battlefield situation, Xuan Yuan was able to silently, perfectly coordinate a wholesale withdrawal. Although the Seamless Gate realized this, there was nothing they could do; they were already fighting with all their strength.


    Boom! Ning’s face suddenly changed. He stared towards the distance, where a distant Sevens God just crumbled. A chain reaction began to ur, with the five Sevens Gods next to him being thrown into grave danger as well.


    As the withdrawal continued, more and more Sevens Gods began to suffer damage.


    Xuan Yuan was still quite calm as he continued with his arrangements. Clearly, in the eyes of Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan...the loss of twenty-seven Sevens Gods wasn’t too heavy a price to pay. If any of their nine major formations were destroyed, their losses would be devastated. As he saw it, to suffer some casualties during a retreat was unavoidable. All he could do was minimize their losses as much as he could.


    “Kill! Kill! Kill!”


    Some of the Sevens Gods were especially dazzling. One of them, a Sevens God who wielded a pair of scimitars, was particrly outstanding. It was the Sevens Godmanded by Ning’s senior apprentice-brother, Empyrean God Silvermoon.


    Silvermoon had exploded forth with truly astonishingbat power. The missions which Xuan Yuan had given him were all quiteplicated, but he still carried them out to perfection. He was as effective as three Sevens Gods, all by himself.


    The withdrawal continued, and their side continued to suffer losses.


    Boom! Finally, a Myriad Immortals Armageddon Formation suffered a copse from all the attacks it had sustained.


    A hundred True Immortals, a hundred thousand Celestial Immortals, and more than a hundred million Loose Immortals instantly began to be massacred. Faced with the terrifying, horde-like army of the Seamless Gate, they weren’t able to fight back at all. Even their formation had been destroyed; how could they possibly withstand these attacks?


    Xuan Yuan’s face slowly turned ashen.


    “Not good.” Ning suddenly discovered that Silvermoon’s dazzling, berserk Sevens God was in a dangerous situation. His earlier performance had been simply too showstopping; clearly, he had drawn the attention of the Seamless Gate’s army, which viewed him as a tough-to-chew bone that they had to get rid of as soon as possible. Thus, the True Immortal controlling the nearby Life and Death Twin Realms Cmity Dragons Formation suddenly pointed towards him.


    Rumble...


    The ck dragons in the sky began to streak downwards, flocking towards Silvermoon’s Sevens God.
