Chapter 934 Advancing to Battle
The chaos of cosmic warfare had finally arrived!
He had been sharpening his troops for years, always preparing, and though it seemed the Divine Martial Empire had only been established for a bit more than forty years, within the realm of the human emperors, time had long been accelerated.
If the situation were not chaotic, Chu Yuan would find it difficult to accomplish much, but in these troubled times, he could flex his muscles, seize opportunities, and potentially elevate the empire to a divine dynasty.
Half a month was enough to prepare.
A massive number of Universe Battleships burst forth from the heavenly gates of the empire, each loaded with powerful beings above the rank of Celestial God, marching into the Cosmic Sea.
"Your Majesty leads the troops to the Cosmic Sea, we must also be prepared to handle logistics and collect intelligence from all sides,"
With Chu Yuan away from the empire, the Enlightenment Book presided over the grand strategy within, also aware that although it could not join the Great Emperor on the frontal battlefield, logistics work was still extremely important.
The Reincarnation Ground, the core of the Cosmic Sea.
Infinite mysterious and hazy streams of energy, along with streaks of purple lightning, flickered around an immensely vast continent that seemed to be the size of thousands of star domains, shrouded in an enigmatic aura.
The Reincarnation Ground was also a battlefield where countless immortals had perished throughout ancient and modern times.
"The Reincarnation Ground."
Xia Han, inside a Universe Battleship, looked toward the Reincarnation Ground and murmured.
This place, she had longed to visit many times, and was very much looking forward to the Divine Martial Empire's dispatch of troops to the Reincarnation Ground, hoping to enter the Reincarnation Realm and find her master's remains.
If in life she could do nothing for her master, then failing even to recover the body would make her too unfilial as a disciple.
"I can see the Feathered Divine City!"
Chu Yuan's gaze pierced through the streams of energy, straight into the city of reincarnation, and beheld a majestic and immense Feathered Divine City, incredibly sturdy and hard to break even for the undying.
Copious amounts of vital energy poured into the Feathered Divine City, and Chu Yuan seemed to see a dish— the Desire Ancestors were there!
The Dish of Desire!
The Emperor of the Feathered Divine Dynasty intended to use this great battle, for many powerful beings would undoubtedly die here; he had placed the Dish of Desire in the Reincarnation Ground with the aim to offer sacrifices to the dish through the battle, generating stronger wishes for the world.
"Your Majesty, news keeps coming in. The Feathered Divine Dynasty is indeed formidable; many forces have joined them, turning into subjects of the dynasty, becoming their vassal army. The battle at the Reincarnation Ground has begun, and everywhere is a battlefield,"
said Lu Qianfu.
"With the Feathered Divine City at the center, the Feathered Divine Army is slaughtering everywhere, and all the major powers are also fighting chaotically, aiming to besiege the Feathered Divine City and remove this thorn from their side."
Chu Yuan said indifferently, "Divine Military troops, enter the Reincarnation Ground!"
Passing through the outer mist, Universe Battleships broke into the Reincarnation Ground. Suddenly, the void here was tens of millions of times more solid than the outside world, even the soil was as durable as a Divine Artifact.
Indeed, this place was where the Reincarnation Catastrophe erupted, each cycle of calamity had long turned it into a suitable battleground for the undying to wage war.
Legend had it that the Celestial Emperor once dominated and fought his final battle with a great enemy within the far more terrifying Reincarnation Realm.
Only the Reincarnation Realm could allow powerful beings to fight without any worries.
The deep black Warship entered the Reincarnation Ground.
The warships of the Divine Martial Empire were not lavish but somber and fiercely fanged. Even at an immense cost, Chu Yuan had managed to build only a hundred or so, sturdy enough to withstand the bombardment of cosmic gods and not be easily destroyed.
Xia Han had to admit it.
The strength of the Divine Martial Empire naturally did not compare to the Feathered Divine Dynasty or the boundless forbidden lands.
But the various equipment astonished her; everyone was armed to the teeth, especially the giant cannons on the warships, something even the Feathered Divine Dynasty did not possess.
She was now very eager to enter the ancient path and find the remains of the Bright Undying, but let's not mention that just yet; the path was sealed by the Feathered Divine Dynasty, and military commands were absolute—without Chu Yuan's order, she could not stray from the formation.
"Great Emperor, over there, the battlefield where the Feathered Divine Dynasty and the boundless forbidden lands clash!"
Bone God immediately pointed to the southwest direction.
The soldiers of the Feathered Divine Dynasty wore dazzling divine golden armor and wielded long spears. Wherever they killed was like the vast ocean of divinity, exuding a pride that belonged to the Dynasty.
As for the armor of the vast army from the Mysterious Forbidden Lands, it was that bluish-gold color.
The Mysterious Forbidden Lands should not be underestimated. The Mysterious Great Emperor had once fought against all opponents in the universe, even battling the Celestial God, losing to him but not being destroyed.
He also fought against divine beings and lost, but he still existed.
Two battles, two losses, he seemed like a loser, but who could overlook their strength?
It could be said that had the Feathered Divine Emperor not established the Dynasty in advance, it would be the Mysterious Divine Dynasty reigning now; their soldiers also had the pride of a Dynasty. They fought against the Feathered Divine Army without fear, clashing together in a chaotic battle.
The Mysterious Great Emperor was also very wise.
He had the strength to establish a Dynasty, but he chose not to do so, knowing that once he claimed that title, not only would the Feathered Divine Dynasty target him, other powers would also not form alliances with him.
The impact of a title was tremendous.
This made Chu Yuan think that some people who were eager to proclaim themselves emperors eventually ended up destroyed, becoming mere stepping stones for others.
Boom!
Elsewhere, a group of people clad in dark gold divine garments were fighting as well.
They were few in number, but each one was powerful, hailing from the God-Slaying Hall.
The Hall Master of God-Slaying Hall was powerful. According to everyone's speculations, even if he was not equal to the Feathered Divine Emperor, he was at least at the level of the Wilderness War God.
Battles raged everywhere, a great war was being fought in all corners.
"Kill!"
Endless gunfire submerged the battlefield, all kinds of energy blasts collided, and the warships of the Divine Martial Empire encountered the great army of the Feathered Divine Dynasty. They bombarded them mercilessly, actually saving quite a few people who had been surrounded.
"Those warships are so powerful, able to withstand the bombardment of a Cosmic God without faltering; their firepower is too fierce!"
"Which empire do these people belong to?"
"Divine Martial? The Divine Martial Empire!"
"It's actually this Divine Martial Empire; they've joined the battlefield too!"
"Thanks to the Divine Martial Empire for lending a hand!"
...
Those who saw the warships of the Divine Martial Empire were also deeply shocked by the fierce appearance of these ships, which were guaranteed to draw attention. The strength of this empire could be seen not just through the powerful individuals on these ships, but also the warships themselves.
They were not too unfamiliar with the Divine Martial Empire.
Chu Yuan's consecutive slaying of powerful enemies on the Sea of Suffering had left a deep impression on many, etching the memory of their Great Emperor from the Divine Martial.
"Your Majesty, the war in the Reincarnation Realm won't end so quickly. Powerhouses from all sides are rushing in," said Lu Qianfu. "We should find a place for our troops to bivouac, where we can advance to attack and retreat to defend. Such a great war entails huge consumption. The Reincarnation Realm is complex in terrain, and some impasses are suitable for the accumulation of troops."
"When our reputation is known, more people will join us," he added.
The Bone God nodded.
In such a great war, it was all too common for Clans to be extinguished. Even if you wished not to fight, external pressures would force you into battle.
Those who were neutral often ended up hated by both sides as they did not want to commit to anything. Being a fence-sitter, they drew ire from all, and had to harden themselves for battle.
"Amassing troops and building fortifications is necessary!"
Chu Yuan's gaze turned towards the distance, "But our first great battle in the Reincarnation Realm has arrived!"
