Chapter 1635: North Huang City

A breach was forcibly opened in the Kunlun Divine Path, and the divine dynasty's territory, once impregnable, was completely leveled by the terrifying power continuously led by the Supreme God.

"Could it be that the space we are currently in is connected to the Kunlun Divine Dynasty, Beihuang City, and the 300,000 iron-blooded warriors of the Kunlun Legion that mysteriously vanished long ago?"

As one of the inheritors of power from the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods, Yan Xia Shen revealed everything he knew. Based on his clues, Xu Yang had already pieced together the general situation.

His expression gradually turned solemn. "If my judgment is correct," he said, "this so-called Fifth Restricted Area is actually Beihuang City, which mysteriously vanished from within the Kunlun Divine Dynasty's territory, along with the 300,000 iron-blooded Kunlun generals stationed there. Only by defeating this force can we reach the true summit of Kunlun."

This iron-blooded legion, inexplicably transferred to a different spatiotemporal order hundreds of thousands of years ago through immense power, will be the strongest opponent we face on this journey. Their strength will surpass any previous wave of adversaries.

"Warriors, the time has finally come for you to launch your counterattack," he declared. "I cannot determine how many casualties we will suffer in this battle. But without a doubt, only by our power can we crush Beihuang City and overcome this formidable challenge. Stepping over the bones of Beihuang City's 300,000 iron-blooded generals and entering the realm of Kunlun will be our most perfect coronation ceremony."

After Xu Yang's voice rang out, the over 500,000 beast-race powerhouses in his team erupted in a furious roar. Perhaps it was this immense wave of sound that caused the endless snow on the peaks of the continuous mountains on both sides to collapse madly, triggering widespread tremors akin to landslides and earthquakes.

As this terrifying sound propagated, moving figures began to appear above the hundred-foot-high giant city walls within the royal city. These were, in fact, the Kunlun generals stationed within Beihuang City.

They had already received intelligence that Xu Yang, leading the demon race invaders, had entered the Fifth Restricted Area. It wouldn't be long before they completed their deployment and launched their counterattack at the opportune moment.

On the eve of the full-scale war, Xu Yang did not simply wait passively for the battle to begin. Instead, he made last-minute preparations, devising a series of tactical formation strategies for his hundreds of thousands of demon beast legions.

He also divided the originally disciplined army of over 500,000 demon beasts into five sections.

The Four Great Demon Sages and Xiao Hui each led 100,000 troops. The remaining 100,000-plus troops, whose racial strengths varied, comprised scattered demon races with extremely strong individual combat power, and these were personally commanded by Xu Yang's team.

With these six massive demon beast forces dispersed, they formed six independent legions with terrifying combat power. Xu Yang had completed his deployment preparations.

Once the battle began, he would continue to act as the coordinating brain for the entire situation. If any front encountered fierce, death-defying resistance from the 300,000 iron-blooded Kunlun generals, he would immediately provide guidance on formation deployment and new combat instructions to help his team minimize casualties and most efficiently destroy their opponents. Xu Yang clearly understood that there was no room for opportunism or clever tricks in this battle; for instance, using the Guigu Qimen Grand Array for spatial-temporal transfer was no longer possible in this Fifth Restricted Area.

This was because the battlefield of the Fifth Restricted Area was originally a spatial location from hundreds of thousands of years ago that had been forcibly moved into this current spatiotemporal trajectory. Within the spatiotemporal law of the Path to Heaven, the Fifth Restricted Area was the sole anomaly.

Therefore, if Xu Yang wanted to use the Guigu Qimen Grand Array here, there was no way to connect it to other relatively safe spatial areas.

Even using the previous method to bypass the Fifth Restricted Area and reach the Summit of Kunlun was impossible.

Because such spatial teleportation techniques could not be achieved under different spatiotemporal rules, this battle could only be won through a direct, head-on approach against all enemies in their path.

According to Xu Yang's previous judgment, the entrance and connection area to the true Summit of Kunlun were hidden within Beihuang City, behind its towering walls.

Slaughtering the 300,000 iron-blooded generals, capturing Beihuang City, entering the Path to Heaven as victors, and then powerfully ascending to the Summit of Kunlun – the final barrier – was the sole objective Xu Yang and his team aimed to achieve.

"Warriors! You have lain dormant for hundreds of thousands of years for this day! In the sunless Abyss of Kunlun, you endured countless hardships. You also suffered innumerable injustices. Those high-and-mighty Supreme Gods, who are also puppet rulers, delighted in enslaving your demon beast race! From this battle onwards, you will usher in your own new destiny. You will no longer be an inferior race subject to unfair treatment, or even mere playthings for human powerhouses. You also have the right to share the Kunlun Divine Path with other races. Of course, to truly usher in this day, you must unleash all your strength today. If we cannot conquer Beihuang City and sweep aside these 300,000 armored Kunlun warriors blocking our path, such a goal may never be achieved. Because you represent the strongest combat power among the billions of demon beasts in the Kunlun Abyss. If even you cannot achieve this, then the Kunlun Divine Path will forever be enslaved by the will of the Supreme God."

Xu Yang's heartfelt speech completely ignited the raging bloodlust and burning passion in the hearts of these hundreds of thousands of demon beasts, making them burn with fervor.

Their roars caused the earth to shake and mountains to tremble, reverberating through the entire space. Xu Yang stood proudly at the peak of the void. In the next moment, he established the brilliant Law of Light, and golden radiance enveloped and protected the hundreds of thousands of demon beast army as they slowly advanced towards the hundreds-of-feet-high giant city walls.

Finally, as the guardians of Beihuang City, thousands of Kunlun Legion archers and crossbowmen took their positions atop the hundred-foot-high city walls. Each one was clad in dense, black metallic armor, completely obscuring their facial features and contours.

Almost no skin or flesh was exposed outside their armor, apart from the fingers holding their bows and crossbows. It was evident that such a legion, in any era, possessed terrifying combat power that could not be ignored; every single one was a well-trained, elite soldier and formidable general. Judging from their appearance and the combat power they displayed, it was not difficult to deduce just how powerful and profound the Kunlun Divine Dynasty was in its heyday.
