Chapter 972: Cycle of Heaven Demon Slaying
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Yuanlian World, Great Gan Celestial Dynasty Lin Country border, millions of troops were gathered here spread out across the 60-mile country defense line .
From three days ago, the eastern country armies were slowly pressing over .
Great Gan was also forced to gather more troops over in this area .
The area here was a flat plain but it was shaped like a pear .
Once it was broken through, the alliance army would be able to surge in and directly attack the core area in the southwest .
This was why even if Zhuang Yu wasn’t willing he had no choice but to gather all the troops here .
Millions of troops were facing off and many experts gathered here, causing the energy to surge into the heavens . The atmosphere was really tense and the aura of war charged into the clouds .
Hong Jiuchen was standing on the city wall of Moyang City, pumped up as he looked at the troops gathered below .
This was originally a small city at the border . Since Mufang took over, to defend against Great Gan, in a short year he made this place into a stronghold .
Hong Jiuchen didn’t comment on that however he laughed to himself about Mufang’s cowardice .
That year when he was in control of the mid plains of Yuanlian World, he never built strong cities and passes .
His millions of troops were enough to be like his great wall .
However, thinking to a few years ago when he was forced back in a haggard manner from Yuanlian World, he was speechless .
At that time, he was schemed against by Zong Shou . Decades of hard work were destroyed in just a moment .
If he was to fight with Zong Shou again, it might not be any better .
However, today he was still back . What followed him was the most elite Dao Soldiers of the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty!
A full 60,000 Nine Capital Dual Halberd Slaves, 20,000 Nine Capital Blood Archers, and a full 24,000 Nine Capital Domineering Cavalry Guards .
Just these 100,000 Dao Soldiers alone could crush all the millions of troops in Yuanlian World .
He looked at the two sides from the corner of his eye .
Xuanling Guild and Jijue Celestial Dynasty each sent tens of thousands of Dao Soldiers . They too were elites that gave off sharp auras .
Although the 30,000 Huang Grade Dao Soldiers from Tianfang Guild were slightly weaker, they were skilled too and had some strength .
Hong Jiuchen shook his head, there was no joy in his chest .
He thought to himself that this time it really benefited Fuyue and Mufang .
For Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty to take over Yuanlian World, they would need to pay a heavier price than a few years ago .
They had to take out more small-sized worlds to calm down their allies . Fuyue and Mufang, these two would directly benefit .
They were World Lords like him but a poor small-sized world and a rich one that had been run for a long time were totally different concepts!
He peaked over to see that those two couldn’t suppress the joy on their faces .
Compared to the unwillingness of a few years ago and them even colluding with Zong Shou, they were two totally different people .
They were most probably satisfied…
Hong Jiuchen scoffed coldly in disdain, his heart was filled with nervousness . Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty paid such a heavy price, who knows how they were going to deal with this world after .
It would be extremely difficult for him to become the lord of this Yuanlian World .
There were many things that weren’t said outright but through news and the rough words, he could understand .
This was to tell him to know his place and not ask for too much .
After sighing, Hong Jiuchen started to focus once more .
He knew that even if Yuanlian World was taken away by the Celestial Dynasty, he would be compensated . Then, it would be better than not getting anything at all .
His eyes turned even sharper as he looked across from him .
Compared to his gains, he cared more about what was going to happen to the person opposite!
If not for this kid, how would he have fallen to such a stage?
He had already hated Zong Shou to the bone .
Especially a month ago when he heard that he wanted Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty to take off his head, he hated him more and more!
He was also shocked . After all, he was the disciple of an End Realm, so even if he lost, his future was limitless .
If Zong Shou hated him and didn’t stop at anything to kill him, the outcome would be catastrophic .
At that time, he felt like his life goal was to personally see Zong Shou die!
It was best that he would never be able to climb back up!
That would also totally end his future worries… .
Thinking about this, he looked at the color of the sky . It was noon .
He couldn’t help but squint, anticipation appearing on his face .

The half-day deadline the Nine Capital Emperor Lord gave was just two hours away .
Who knew what choice the Great Gan army would make?
Would he know his place and back out of Yuanlian to end this storm, or lower his head and hold on, fighting to the death and refuse to retreat?
The best case would be the latter . Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty had 100,000 Dao Soldiers and close to 100 ships . Along with the help from Xuanling Guild and Jijue Celestial Dynasty, they had a full 10 Saint Realm Experts gathered there .
They could destroy any power here!
No matter what ability Zong Shou had, he would have no way to block them at all!
However, thinking about it, this wasn’t possible . As long as one wasn’t really crazy and stupid, one wouldn’t do that .
Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty sent so many troops here because they wanted to make him surrender without fighting .
Just as he thought about that, he heard a series of horns ring out in the distance and sound throughout the entire sky .
What followed was numerous smoke and dust which spread out throughout the sky .
Hong Jiuchen was shocked and looked over, only to see that dozens of tents opposite suddenly moved .
Suddenly, numerous soldiers left their tents and formed up .
They were really orderly like they were one entire being . Moments later, many square formations formed and appeared on the city wall, in the field of sight of everyone .
“What are they doing? Are they really trying to fight to the death with us?”
Just as Hong Jiuchen was filled with doubt, someone around him asked .
“They are obviously at a disadvantage, but they still want to initiate the attack . I really don’t understand…”
“Is that Great Gan Ruler really crazy? Does he think that he can win against the combined army of our four sides?”
“No, forget about the Great Gan Ruler . Zhuang Yu is a famous general, so why would he do such a stupid thing?”
“Famous general? Just a native who has never fought in outer regions, so how can he be considered a famous general? Maybe he is just too confident…”
“There is probably something mysterious in it! However, this is also a chance for us to wipe out the entire Great Gan Army and let the few Venerables see our skills!”
Hong Jiuchen didn’t understand too and also felt that Zhuang Yu was definitely planning something else .
However, he wasn’t the one in charge .
He glanced at two people in the middle . One of them was Guyue and the other wore a red armor and was dressed as the general .
He was also at Peak God Realm and was called Lieque, the general of Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty .

He was an Unparalleled General Talent of their Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty . The Emperor Lord had spent much effort in recent years to recruit this person .
Three days ago he arrived here and took over the millions of troops in the area .
He also seemed to be filled with doubt, entering deep thought . A moment later, Lieque expressionlessly shook his head, “Let’s just see what they are planning…”
Hong Jiuchen’s brow rose up before he calmed back down . After which he was thinking about the best way to deal with this situation .
No matter what weird plan the enemy had, they would be firm like a mountain .
It seemed like there were roughly two million troops in this stronghold .
Could Zhuang Yu even manage to break through it?
In front of absolute power, no matter what trap and scheme there was it would be useless .
At this moment, it was just time for them to watch on quietly to wait for the outcome .
Hundreds of thousands of Great Gan troops lined up in just 30 minutes .
The people on the city wall looked on with serious expressions on their faces .
They could see that the 64 square formations of troops were all elite troops and they weren’t to be underestimated .
They pushed forward and didn’t need to reorganize .
What attracted the most attention was the red armor formation at the front .
They were the Big Dipper Sword Soldiers of the Great Gan Celestial Dynasty!
During these two years, Mufang had fought the Great Gan army many times and was really familiar with them .
Right away he felt that they were slightly different . He laughed coldly, “They are Huang Grade Dao Soldiers!”
Although the Big Dipper Sword Soldiers were strong in the past, they weren’t this strong .
Thinking about the rumors of Zong Shou having the Shura Race as his shield and that he was preparing Dao Soldiers in secret, those rumors were true .
“Those rumors were true, however, there are only 60,000 of them, just so little!”
Tanjing laughed coldly, he was thinking about what kind of trump cards Zong Shou had in his hand .
If he had just 60,000 Huang Grade Dao Soldiers, then it would be far from enough!
His heart was still a little wary, to date he still didn’t believe that Zong Shou would really do something so crazy without any confidence .
However, he relaxed a little . Zong Shou probably wouldn’t have been able to guess the amount of strength that the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty was able to amass!

Even he didn’t think that the Celestial Emperor would send so many troops around, what was happening was just a futile struggle .
He smiled and turned around, “Congratulations Brother Mu and Brother Hong, Zong Shou is asking for death and is about to be destroyed . Once this battle ends, the few of us can become Lords of Worlds . At that time, don’t forget about me!”
“Naturally, your Tianfang Guild will also obtain many benefits! You will be able to freely travel and trade in Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty controlled territory…”
Mufang laughed but his voice suddenly stopped . His eyes were filled with shock as he looked opposite at the city walls .
A full 500 cultivators suddenly flew into the air and stood there .
A mysterious formation was instantly formed .
“Dao Soldiers! Earth Grade Dao Soldiers!”
Not only was everyone shocked, but Lieque’s eyes also opened wide . He was completely astonished .
“What formation is this? To require 500 people to line up?”
“I have never heard of it…”
“What powerful strength!”
Hong Jiuchen and Mufang exchanged glances with one another .
They first understood and then found it weird . Why didn’t Zong Shou use these Earth Grade Dao Soldiers outside?
“Why do we fear! We have 600 Nine Capital Blade Feather Celestials . ”
“I have never seen this Dao Soldier before, so their strength can only be ordinary…”
At the same time, dozens of miles away from Moyang City .
Zhuang Yu raised his head and looked at the sky .
Along with the formation starting to run, numerous clouds suddenly gathered over .
“I heard that it is the Cycle of Heaven Demon Slaying…”
Feng Taiji said and asked curiously, “I thought that you would use these last . ”
“Dao Soldiers are precious! If the Ruler wants to rule the surrounding worlds, we can’t lose too many of them . ”
Just as he said this, the Heaven and Earth suddenly shook . A giant Sword Energy suddenly slashed out from the formation .
A sword slashed out and everything turned to dust . A 100,000-foot crack lined up on the ground . In the distance, close to 25% of the stronghold city wall instantly collapsed!
