Chapter 1571: Great Army Marches Out

After some discussion, the entire demon beast army was divided into four relatively independent legions.

Each grand legion consisted of 1.5 million high-level demon beast warriors, with each led by one of the Four Great Demon Sages.

Xu Yang used psychic links for guidance and communication, issuing direct commands to the Four Great Demon Sages. These four legion leaders then immediately relayed guiding instructions to their respective millions of powerful subordinates. This system ensured that the entire army would act in synchronized command status at the earliest possible moment, significantly enhancing overall combat efficiency.

After all, Xu Yang was not leading human prodigies this time, but a demon army with limited intelligence and combat experience. Therefore, maximizing overall combat capability and efficiency was paramount in this battle.

On the night the army finally gathered, the Blood Moon reached its full phase. At this moment, Xu Yang closed his eyes, concentrating, and entered a state of mental detachment.

He maintained constant soul communication with the Soul of the Ancient Tree of Life within his mind. The Ancient Tree of Life, in turn, relayed visions from its illusory body inside the Blood Moon, providing Xu Yang with real-time, synchronized, and precise intelligence reports.

Soon, the image of the Supreme God's consciousness awakening within the Blood Moon also appeared in Xu Yang's mind.

As expected, the moment that wisp of the Supreme God's will awakened, hundreds of surrounding law traces seemed to sense the king's call, trembling wildly.

Simultaneously, the illusory totem of the Ancient Tree of Life, firmly sealed in the center and now transformed into the appearance of the female cat, Xiao Hong, immediately let out agonizing cries, feigning intense pain as if being crushed by the surrounding law forces.

Concurrently, boundless auras of bloodline power, woven together by these hundreds of law traces, were channeled along specific rules and frequencies towards that wisp of the Supreme God's will.

Once the concentrated energy reached a certain intensity, the Supreme God's will actually conjured a void teleportation gate out of thin air. This shimmering golden portal was, in fact, designed to instantaneously transfer these bloodline energies to a specific formation within Kunlun.

The illusory totem of the Ancient Tree of Life, being exceedingly clever, immediately etched down the complete runic pattern of this teleportation light gate and transmitted it to Xu Yang's mind through psychic means at the first opportunity.

This way, Xu Yang would later be able to replicate an identical teleportation light gate by outlining and mimicking its specific form, allowing him to reach the ultimate destination of all power transfers instantly.

To continue the charade, Xu Yang issued a second command to the Ancient Tree of Life using his psychic power.

Simultaneously, he also, at this moment, merged the emperor bloodlines of Xiao Hui and Xiao Hong, both possessing quasi-emperor level strength. This process was completed within a dream woven personally by Xu Yang to mask the terrifying aura, akin to that of a demon beast emperor, that would be released after the two little creatures merged.

Although the aura was masked, the influence released by their combined form did not completely disappear. Xu Yang utilized this power, coupled with the enveloping golden light aura of his angelic lineage, to provide an extremely potent amplification effect to the more than six million high-level demon beasts.

This method almost perfectly harmonized with the amplification provided by the Blood Moon's power. The most significant benefit of doing so was that it played out the deception to its fullest, preventing the Supreme God's will from detecting even the slightest flaw.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Ancient Tree. Without it, achieving this goal would have required much greater effort."

The Ancient Tree nodded gently, "It is my honor to serve you, esteemed Xu Yang. I hope you will successfully achieve your objectives going forward."

After completing this task, the Ancient Tree of Life returned to the depths of Xu Yang's mind. Its mission was complete, signifying the official commencement of Xu Yang's task: leading the millions of demon beasts to charge towards the summit of Kunlun after the Blood Moon's arrival.

"All forces, heed my command and advance!"

A mighty wave of sound erupted from Xu Yang's mind, sweeping through every corner of the army in the form of pure psychic energy.

This terrifying psychic broadcast was almost a forceful indoctrination for everyone present. The demon beasts roared tumultuous shouts that echoed like mountains and seas.

This clearly pushed the overall morale to its peak. With over six million high-level demon beasts gathered, the mere thought of the scene was awe-inspiring enough. Looking from the very front of the procession, there was no end in sight; the phrase "sea of people" was no exaggeration to describe the scale of the entire demon beast army at that moment.

Under the leadership of Xu Yang and the various great Demon Sage leaders, the grand army advanced towards the first checkpoint, the critical upper edge of the Kunlun Abyss. The entire journey lasted for most of the day.

Because these demon beast warriors were all in high spirits and a state of intense excitement, their pace of advance was much quicker, far more rapid than Xu Yang had previously anticipated.

However, upon reaching the vicinity of the uppermost perimeter of the abyss, numerous Kunlun lineage guardian soldiers were spotted within every surrounding mountain range and sheer cliff area.

Unbeknownst to many, these were all guard forces composed of cultivators from ordinary cultivation sects under the Six Royal Lineages of Human Spirits. To put it plainly, they were a ragtag army serving the cultivators of the Six Royal Lineages.

They were also considered commoners in the eyes of the Six Lineage cultivators, never having the opportunity to enjoy the best cultivation conditions in their lives, yet always serving as cannon fodder for the so-called legitimate cultivators of the Six Royal Lineages. In conflicts between such top-tier powers, the first to be sacrificed were always these low-born commoner cultivators.

Although seeing this scene was unsettling, he knew well that such an epic war would inevitably demand sacrifices.

As long as the current class system of the Kunlun Divine Path remained unchallenged, the underlying problems could never be truly resolved. The path Xu Yang was now treading was precisely to bring about a true upheaval and rebirth for the entire Kunlun Divine Path.

"Damn it, I didn't expect the enemy to arrive so quickly. We received orders from the Royal Family to guard the surrounding mountain regions and be ready to launch surprise attacks on any large-scale demon beast appearances. But now, it seems the scale and number of this army far exceed our imagination. If we rashly stand our ground, I'm afraid we'll be nothing but cannon fodder."

Some commoner cultivators hiding in the shadows had already begun to tremble. They were not fools; they understood very well that if discovered by an enemy of this magnitude, their fate would be to be instantly devoured, leaving not even a trace.

"It's useless. If we don't act, all the strongholds along the route trampled by these demon beast legions will be deemed rebellious. At that point, our fate will likely be far worse than falling to these demon armies. You should be all too familiar with the Royal Family's methods for punishing commoners."
