Chapter 90: The Great War Begins

More than ten days after the great battle between Lord Luohe and the Heartshadow Gate, two figures appeared out of thin air in a wilderness outside Huyang City.

"We've arrived." After confirming their location, they took only a few steps, traversing the void to find Marquis Jiujiang's military camp. Outside the camp city, Commander Jiang Yuyou was already waiting.

"My Lords, you've finally arrived. The Marquis has been expecting you," Jiang Yuyou greeted them proactively, observing the two as he did so. One of them was the unicorn-horned man, General Yonghu, who had visited recently. The other was a slender man draped in loose robes, whose reputation in the Yu Kingdom far surpassed Yonghu's. Jiang Yuyou looked at the slender man with respect.

"Commander Jiang, please lead the way," the slender man said with a slight smile.

"It is my honor to lead Generals Yue and Yong," Jiang Yuyou said, guiding the two to see the Marquis.

Inside the military camp, within the main building of Marquis Jiujiang's residence, Marquis Jiujiang sat at ease, watching the two arriving figures. After the two figures entered, they saw Marquis Jiujiang and respectfully saluted him, saying, "Greetings, Marquis."

The vast Origin Continent still contained many astonishing beings. General Yuewu and Blood Cloud both possessed Law-Length Divine Bodies, but General Yuewu's strength was even greater, receiving immense attention even from the Divine Kings.

"We will follow all of Marquis Jiujiang's commands," General Yue, Jiang Yuyou, and the Heartshadow master and servant all stated.

"Impressive," Heartshadow murmured in admiration.

"You must win this battle," Luo Feng said confidently, then frowned. "Yet, this time I spent a full 140 million Cosmic Sands, while Marquis Liujiang contributed nothing, likely just a promise." Ji Shu smiled.

"They've arrived."

If a Chaos Master is willing to serve and wholeheartedly lead Divine Kings, they will receive strong support from the Divine Kings. Jiang Yuyou, with his boundless divine body, could withstand many dangers, which also made him willing to accept employment from various parties. Although he couldn't decisively defeat Blood Cloud, his frontal burst capability and the resilience of his divine body both surpassed Blood Cloud's. In terms of realm, he had also comprehended several Chaos Realm techniques, though they were slightly less refined than Blood Cloud's.

"Whether or not he has a boundless divine body, he can still become the strongest Eternal True God in the Yu Kingdom, truly remarkable," Moluo Sa also praised.

"Advance!"

He was the most dazzling existence from his home universe, across many cycles of reincarnation. "General Yuewu, like the Marquis, has hopes of reaching the Chaos Realm," Luo Feng stated clearly. These two might be stuck at a bottleneck for a long time, but in the future, they should be at the same level as him. Luo Feng was very polite.

Beings from the original universe ascended step by step from the very bottom; becoming an undying being was extremely difficult. In an entire reincarnation era of the original universe, the number of those who could become True Gods was very few. The most dazzling Eternal True God in the entire Origin Continent had no weaknesses in any aspect.

Because it was a cooperative relationship, Marquis Jiujiang and his group, wanting to gain opportunities from the Divine Kings, also had to make certain contributions.

"Marquis and Lord, your master and servant are the strongest. When you encounter powerful enemies, your master and servant will need to confront them," General Yuewu's voice echoed in Ji Shu and Moluo Sa's ears.

General Yong said, "General Yuewu is extremely skilled in array formations. Once an array is set, any Eternal True God who enters will likely find it impossible to escape."

There was already a detailed plan before the battle, so they paid no attention to the scattered Luohe Gate disciples.

"No worries," Ji Shu nodded.

"I still need your protection, Senior Brother," the slender man said with a smile. "By the way, Marquis Jiujiang, you mentioned another powerful reinforcement, named Marquis [Name]."

Jiang Yuyou was very willing to participate in various Chaos Continent disputes, as it was a good way to accumulate resources. His junior brother, General Yue, was different; he was very difficult to invite because General Yue lacked no resources, as the Kingdom's ruler would actively provide him with substantial funds. His divine body and will both surpassed historical limits. After learning this, Zuo Shankee felt revenge was hopeless.

"Please sit," Luo Feng said with a smile, introducing them. "Ji Shu and his attendant Heartshadow directly engaged the Luohe Gate within Huyang City. Even with Luohe's full power, he couldn't do anything against the Marquis's master and attendant."

"Very well."

Numerous Eternal True Gods all flew into a large flying ship.

"My Lords, we meet again," General Yonghu said quite cordially.

A vast array, spreading like a mist of water, covered a wide area. Luo Feng, seated in the main position, spoke: "General Yue and Jiang Yuyou have arrived. We only need to practice the array formation a few more times, and once fully prepared, we can begin."

The sudden appearance of the large flying ship immediately caused a commotion among the many Luohe Gate disciples within the city. For the foundation of our sect, we must win this battle! General Yonghu had spent twenty million Cosmic Sands.

Yuewu was positioned at the center of the array, surrounded by eight puppet creatures, controlling the entire formation.

*Rumble*

"Marquis Jiujiang," the Heartshadow master and attendant entered the building.

Having received one hundred million Cosmic Sands, they naturally had to do enough. An empty promise caused the Luohe Gate to fight to the death.

"General Yue's array, who below the Chaos Realm can break it? I am truly impressed," Heartshadow said.

The gigantic water mist array suddenly burst into flames, like a colossal fireball, fiercely colliding with the ominous great array! The ominous great array of the Luohe Gate, which enveloped Huyang City, was instantly torn apart and penetrated. This colossal fireball, spanning tens of billions of kilometers, sped directly towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"Generals, Commanders, when the time comes, you only need to act according to my instructions. Let's first briefly practice eight cooperation methods," Yuewu transmitted to the over eight thousand Eternal True Gods within the array.

"Please, both of you, have a seat," Luo Feng said with a smile, looking at them. "With your help in this conflict against Marquis Liujiang's army, the pressure will be greatly reduced."

*Boom!*

"No matter what, Chaos Masters are of much higher status than us Eternal True Gods," Jiang Yuyou yearned. To reach the Chaos Realm, he still lacked significant accumulation. Ji Shu and the over eight thousand Eternal True Gods in the large flying ship high in the sky also observed some situations within Huyang City, seeing some Luohe Gate disciples gathered at various locations.

They had long followed Divine Kings and clearly understood that Divine Kings and Chaos Masters were the true high-level existences in this world. Divine Kings also had to show a certain degree of respect to these Chaos Masters. The coordination of numerous mechanical secret treasures created terrifying might, greatly boosting the confidence of many Eternal True Gods. An array master, whose prolonged efforts allowed Luo Feng, watching the scene from afar within the military camp, to nod slightly. When the legions coordinated, their strength more than doubled.

"I can stop it this time, but what about the next?" Luo Feng was also pondering the future.

At the outermost edge of the array, Heartshadow and Moluo Sa were present, feeling endless water currents swirling around them, their power terrifying. Heartshadow then stated, "General Yuewu and General Yonghu," as he brought Moluo Sa along to the banquet.

"General Yuewu is openly the strongest Eternal True God in the Yu Kingdom," General Yong explained. "What's most remarkable is General Yuewu's unique divine body; he cultivates the Law lineage! Solely relying on his Law-Length Divine Body, combined with an astonishing accumulation in his realm, he even surpasses us, including General Yonghu."

Not only did he openly dispatch a divine power clone, but his true body had also arrived. After all, even if defeated, he still had to protect the Eternal True Gods under his command. That array master had cost eighty million Cosmic Sands. Ji Shu also witnessed the formidable skill of an array master.

Heartshadow, for instance, had surpassed historical limits. Both his divine body and will were incredible. In fact, it was evident that among the many major powers gathered on the Origin Continent for the "Lieyuan Art," only Heartshadow ultimately mastered it. Therefore, every True God emerging from the original universe was far stronger in terms of mental fortitude and will than True Gods from the Origin Continent.

"Senior Brother Yong, if we encounter any difficult opponents, you will need to engage them," Yuewu transmitted.

"It mainly relies on Junior Brother Yue; I'm just assisting," Jiang Yuyou said.

Marquis Liujiang had promised the Luohe Gate, but if they were defeated, Marquis Liujiang would still not have to pay anything. "Marquis, General Yue, and General Yong have arrived," Jiang Yuyou respectfully reported.

In Chaos Sector A, the Luohe Gate Master and fourteen Elders, in their divine power avatars, gathered. They looked up at the scene, their eyes cold. With the two fiefdoms bordering each other, Marquis Liujiang would not easily give up.

"Lord Ji Shu can deter many of the opposing Eternal True Gods," Luo Feng stated clearly. On the battlefield, the aid brought by an invincible and terrifying vanguard was immense. And Heartshadow... This battle must be won!

"Everyone, once we break through the Luohe Gate and retake Huyang City, I will celebrate your achievements," Luo Feng said, looking at the dense ranks of over eight thousand Eternal True Gods. General Yue, Ji Shu, and Heartshadow, his attendant, were clearly standing in the front row. "Now, depart!"

Some disciples gathered inside the city showed signs of panic. Originally, they were scattered, but within General Yuewu's array, their powers naturally combined. "We are here!"

"I've already sent Yuyou to invite him; he'll be here very soon," Luo Feng said. Inviting this array master was worth it.

"The disciples gathered outside are special disciples of the Luohe Gate, responsible for controlling this city! They are also bait to draw Luo Feng's army to attack," Heartshadow observed.

In just a few traversals, the large flying ship had already arrived directly above Huyang City, precisely positioned right below the City Lord's Mansion! However, it was separated by an ominous great array.

"In the Yu Kingdom, General Yuewu is the foremost array master below the Chaos Realm," General Yong exclaimed with admiration. "Marquis Jiujiang said that with General Yuewu's accumulation, he is almost certain to reach the Chaos Realm."

The large flying ship had already traversed the void.

With Yuewu's command, billowing water mist instantly enveloped the sky. The large flying ship disappeared, and Heartshadow and the others naturally found themselves inside the array formation.

"Good," Jiang Yuyou nodded. He possessed a boundless divine body and even a Divine King-level inheritance!

"The intelligence regarding Lord Marquis's actions in Huyang City recently has already spread throughout the kingdom," the slender General Yue praised. "To possess a Chaos Peak will as an Eternal True God is truly remarkable. To have such spiritual fortitude, Lord Marquis must have undergone a long and arduous journey."

"Luo Feng's great army." The Marquis and Lord were most valuable.

"Yes," the over eight thousand Eternal True Gods, under command, formed into ultra-large mechanical secret treasures. This time, Luo Feng had mobilized over forty-seven percent of all Eternal True Gods from the entire Jiujiang Chaos Continent!
