The Dark Beasts were born from the Beast God Incubation Base. Their shapes were originally irregular, but they were later injected into Demonic Gas and bred into the Dark Beasts. Their appearances were even more terrifying.

It didn’t matter how terrifying his appearance was, his strength was still extremely tyrannical. He didn’t fear death at all. He didn’t seem to understand fear at all. He was born to only know how to kill, causing huge casualties to the defenders of the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold.

They were barely able to kill these Dark Beasts, but after these monsters died, they would emit a strange gas, causing everyone who smelled them to feel somewhat unconscious, greatly affecting their combat efficiency.

Apart from the Dark Beasts, there was also the Corpse Demon Legion. They controlled endless waves of corpses to surge up the city wall and launch suicide attacks, causing them to feel a burst of disgust.

“How could this be? Where did the Myriad Devil Sect find so many disgusting things?” They usually fought against humans, but now that they encountered such a situation, it was inevitable that they wouldn’t be able to adapt to it.

“Sure enough, it’s the Diabolism Sect, use all your tricks!” They cursed.

At this moment, a bloody light flashed and the human head landed on the ground. Before everyone could see what was going on, the dead warrior’s blood had already been sucked dry.

“What the hell is this?” The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were shocked. They saw a blood-colored sword run through the crowd. No one controlled it, but they were able to move freely. They were immediately shocked.

Blood Divine Army’s fighting style was extremely strange, and his speed was incredibly fast. Often, a blood shadow would flash past and bring along a blood flower, sucking out all the blood to replenish his own energy, making Blood Divine Army’s power even more powerful.

“Not good, I know what this is, Blood Divine Army from the Northern Wilderness Ruins!”

“Why did this damn thing come out? Could it be that Diabolism has gathered all these messy things together?”

Not only was there Blood Divine Army, there was also a humanoid weapon. Its entire body was almost refined into metal. Diamond was invulnerable. Copper-skinned iron bones burst into the crowd, causing great damage.

Such strange things caused enormous trouble for the Great Zhou Dynasty’s army. If it weren’t for the protection of the Heaven Traversing Stronghold, their morale would have collapsed long ago.

Horizontal Heaven Stronghold was the number one stronghold under the heavens. It had been in chaos for a long time and was not destroyed. It was incredibly strong. As long as there were enough defenders inside, it would naturally not be easy to break through.

Even with the Dark Beasts and Corpse Demon Legion joining them, as well as the strength of Blood Divine Army and humanoid weapons, it would only give the Myriad Devil Sect a slight advantage and would not be able to completely break through this sturdy fortress.

In the sky, Emperor Hong Wu flew down with a somewhat embarrassed expression. He shouted loudly, “Little brat Li Qing, if you have the ability, come and try my Heavenly Emperor Battle Formation!”

Li Qing stepped into the void and walked over step by step. He said indifferently, “As you wish! I’ve heard for a long time about the reputation of the Heavenly Emperor Battle Formation, so I’ll give it a try today.”

“Heavenly Emperor Guards, set up the formation!” Emperor Hong Wu roared angrily.

Tens of thousands of warriors wearing golden armor walked out of the Heavenly Stronghold and set up a special profound battle formation, surrounding Emperor Hongwu like a moon.

The golden light shone brightly in the nine heavens. Emperor Hong Wu landed in the formation, his entire body swelling with energy. He gathered everyone’s strength for his own use and transformed into a heaven-piercing and earth-shattering phantom.

He stood upright in the sky and pierced straight into the nine heavens! This Heavenly Emperor phantom was too huge, its body almost contained the entire world, and its monstrous divine might filled the air, causing everyone to be unable to breathe.

“Li Qing, do you dare to fight?”

“Why not?” Li Qing was fearless.

“Take my move, Emperor’s Extreme Peerless Fist!” Emperor Hong Wu roared angrily, as if he had used all of his life’s strength to punch out.

The power of this punch seemed to be several times stronger than before, bringing with it unparalleled power to shatter everything in the world and completely suppress it!

As strong as Li Qing, he was also sent flying by this punch. He retreated several hundred li and was seriously injured.

“Haha, Li Qing, you are no match for me now!” Emperor Hong Wu smiled.

“What’s there to be proud of relying on the power of the battle formation?” Li Qing took a deep breath, as if he had sucked in half of the spiritual energy in the sky, and quickly recovered from his injuries.

“What nonsense! Your immortal body is truly troublesome!” Emperor Hong Wu’s expression was extremely ugly as he angrily said, “Everyone follow me and kill Li Qing!”

“Those who offend the Heavenly Emperor, kill! Kill! Kill!”

All the martial practitioners of the Heavenly Emperor Guards shouted loudly. Their voices shook the heavens, and terrifying killing intent soared into the sky, gathering on Emperor Hong Wu’s fist, making his Imperial Extreme Peerless Fist even more powerful.

Rumble!

The heavens and the earth changed color, the sun and the moon did not shine, and the stars shook down! All the light in the world seemed to dim under this punch, and the Extreme Emperor Fist had become the center of the world, the most dazzling existence!

Chi!

Under this punch, Li Qing was defeated without any suspense. He was sent flying hundreds of kilometers away again, but his life was still not in danger.

“There’s no need to waste any more effort. You and I are originally close in strength. Do you want to kill me? It doesn’t exist!” Li Qing chuckled. The Immortal Fiendgod Body was automatically recovering from its injuries. The Profound Sky Art was also extracting Void Essence Qi to replenish its energy.

“Again!” Emperor Hong Wu punched one after another, not disheartened. His confidence had never wavered. Even though he knew that he could not kill Li Qing, he still had to ruthlessly torture him.

“You can set up a battle formation. I have no reason to stand here and be beaten passively.” Li Qing laughed loudly. He opened his mouth and swallowed the Ascension Heavenly Palace into his stomach. Immediately, his aura surged, as if he wasn’t much inferior to the Heavenly Emperor phantom.

With the help of the Ascension Heavenly Palace, Li Qing’s strength increased by a lot, so he no longer fell into a situation of being beaten passively. He was inseparable from Emperor Hong Wu and the Heavenly Emperor Battle Formation.

There was no victory or defeat in this battle. Emperor Hongwu fought back and gradually exhausted his strength. Even the Heavenly Emperor Guards below were exhausted. Knowing that there was no point in continuing to fight like this, he brought his men back to the Heavenly Stronghold.

“Emperor Hongwu, you can’t do this. If you hide in the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold, who would have the slightest demeanor of an emperor?” Li Qing sneered.

“You don’t have to provoke me! I won’t be fooled.” Emperor Hong Wu coldly snorted, “Even if I can’t defeat you, you can’t do anything to the Great Zhou Dynasty! This Heavenly Crossing Stronghold is an insurmountable chasm!”

Such a protracted confrontation was exactly what Elder Sword and the others wanted to see. Because the longer they dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for them! The Sword God would come out in ten years, and at that time, he would be able to sweep through everything.

Li Qing also knew that it couldn’t be delayed for too long. Diabolism was unpopular in the end. After a long time, he was afraid that there would be variables. He had to quickly conclude the battle.

However, the problem was that Emperor Hong Wu’s strength was originally similar to Li Qing’s. Both of them were indistinguishable. In a short period of time, Emperor Hong Wu was even able to gain the upper hand. Only by relying on the Immortal Fiendgod Physique and the Sky Profound Technique’s rogue fighting style could Li Qing defeat Emperor Hong Wu.

With such a powerful figure here, he had to invest several times his combat strength in order to break through the Heavenly Stronghold.

“Looks like I have to use all my strength!” Li Qing thought to himself.

“Sect Leader, since we have already occupied the Eastern Region, why are we in such a hurry? We can slowly use this place as a boundary to slowly digest the territory of the Eastern Region.” Someone suggested.

“Yes, Sect Leader. After a while, our strength will increase again. Furthermore, Sect Leader’s cultivation will increase by leaps and bounds. The longer we delay, the more advantageous it will be for us.”

“Sigh, indeed, you’ve obtained some results, so it’s easy for you to slack off.” Li Qing couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. It was not easy for a Diabolism character to have such a large territory. He actually easily satisfied his appetite. Before he could win this battle, he wanted to enjoy himself.

“Don’t forget, there is still a Sword God in this world!” Li Qing said, “When the Sword God kills the Heavenly Devil Ape, if we still haven’t ended the war, all our efforts will be in vain!”

“Sword God? How old is that old fellow? He shouldn’t be as mighty as he used to be, right? With so many experts gathered here, can’t we beat an old fellow whose lifespan is approaching?” Someone said.

“Even the old man is a supreme expert. At the very least, I am not confident that I can deal with him right now. In addition to the Great Zhou Dynasty, no matter how large of a territory you occupy, you are doomed to fail!” Li Qing said.

“But now, the Heavenly Stronghold is so strong that it is difficult to break through. What should we do?”

Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, “Send someone to call the old divine dragon from the East China Sea over. Also, the Nether Demon Sovereign should be prepared to descend on the Nether Flame Sea. We need to suppress all of our strength and crush the enemy with unparalleled strength!”

Very quickly, the old divine dragon from the East China Sea arrived at the battlefield, and the Nether Demon Sovereign had also finished his preparations.

Currently, the comparison of forces between the two sides was roughly the same. On the Dao Realm level, the Myriad Devil Sect had surpassed them by a bit.

A dozen or so Dao Realm experts, along with a dozen or so Demon God level creatures, were already extremely powerful. Moreover, with the addition of more than a dozen Corpse Demons from the Graveyard of the Corpse God, the advantage would be even greater.

Only Ancient Desolate Lord, the Yin Yang Demon Emperor, the Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor, and the others had yet to grow up. Otherwise, it would be even more terrifying.

The trump card that Li Qing hadn’t used was the ten Dao Realm Blood Divine Weapons in the Yin Yang Chaos Bottle. Previously, he had been releasing ordinary Blood Divine Weapons, causing huge trouble for the enemy.

If the ten Blood Divine Weapons were released, the balance of power between the two sides would definitely be crushed! On Diabolism’s side, it was equivalent to more than 40 Dao Realm warriors, and the remaining forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Heavenly Alliance only numbered 20 Dao Realm warriors.

It had doubled!

This was also the reason why Li Qing had made up his mind to take out all of his trump cards and crush them with an unparalleled momentum, sweeping through the world.

The Dao Realm experts were also divided into the strong and the weak. The Great Zhou Dynasty only had Emperor Hong Wu on their side.

Dao Sovereign Lingjun was originally also a Dao Realm Seven Tribulations, but he did not belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Back then, after Dao Sovereign Lingjun lost the duel, he took the Dao Palace forces far away from the Central Region and ran to the Northern Region.

On Diabolism’s side, Li Qing didn’t say anything else. There was an old divine dragon that was comparable to the Eight Tribulations of the Dao Realm. In addition, the Nether Demon Sovereign’s strength was constantly recovering, and he was gradually approaching the strength of the Eight Tribulations of the Dao Realm.

Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede and Doasim Lord Zhulong were the Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm, and there was also a Supreme Divine Blood Weapon. Its strength far surpassed that of the other side!

Since ancient times, he thought that siege warfare required several times the strength of the defending army. After Li Qing took out the ten Dao Realm Blood Divine Army, it might be the last straw that crushed the camel to death.

The black clouds crushed the city, and the countless black soldiers formed a huge wave, arriving at the entrance of the Heavenly Stronghold once again.

In the sky, the Ascension Heavenly Palace descended. Inside was a group of Myriad Demon Sect experts.

Beside him, a group of Demon God-level creatures were dancing. The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede and the old divine dragon’s enormous bodies circled in the sky, almost occupying the entire world.

In the distant depths of the void, a black world of flames descended, pressing down on the sky above the Heavenly Stronghold.

Li Qing took out the Yin Yang Chaos Bottle and released the ten Blood Divine Army inside. Immediately, the baleful aura soared into the sky and formed a blood red pillar of Qi. Waves of soft cries resounded between heaven and earth. Ten terrifying Blood Divine Army surged in the air.
