Chapter 497 The Mysterious Azure Netherworld (Thanks to Alliance Leader Xiang Boyang)

A missile fell first, exploding directly above the fortress at the forefront.

The fortress had long been completely occupied by the Wu tribe soldiers. Many generals and nobles from the rear army entered and curiously examined the layout inside the fortress.

The fortified area that Wei Yuan built in this area has four layers. The Wu Clan army has already captured the first two layers, which contain a total of six small fortresses, and is now besieging the third layer that Wei Yuan is holding.

Therefore, these rear guard shamans and nobles thought the place was safe enough, never expecting that disaster would strike from the sky. A missile exploded in mid-air, killing all the shamans inside the fortress and also wiping out all the shamans standing on the city walls.

Missiles rained down, causing heavy casualties among the Wu tribe attacking the fortress area. All three small fortresses on the second level were hit by missiles, and the nearby Wu army was wiped out, cutting the entire legion into two parts.

Wei Yuan had already mobilized 10,000 elite troops and 50,000 civilians to the battlefield, and they arrived just in time.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Witch Clan was isolated from the front and rear and that all the Great Witches had not yet been able to get up, Wei Yuan activated the Instant All Beings, empowered the Heaven and Earth Madman, and manifested thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. With the triple empowerment, the group had become a killing maniac, killing one with one strike, and in the blink of an eye, they had cut down all the Witch Clan members in the front row!

The vanguard of the Wu tribe was like tofu being sliced ​​apart layer by layer by a sharp knife.

The air was filled with the constant roar of missiles, which bombarded the central army of the legion in front of Wei Yuan.

This time, Wei Yuan went all out, launching more than ten missiles in quick succession, all hitting the same spot. When the flames and smoke cleared, the army's central banner slowly toppled. The army commander struggled to hold up the banner, but was too weak to support it, and finally fell down along with it.

The legion commander, a powerful shaman with formidable combat strength, was unexpectedly caught in the blast wave of the celestial roar, then struck by over ten missiles, and was killed instantly. The other two shamans, whose physical bodies were not strong enough, were also blasted to pieces. At this point, the area within a hundred feet of the central army was reduced to scorched earth, with no shamans surviving.

Without the legion commander and banner to suppress them, the witch warriors in the legion awoke as if from a dream, no longer fearless. The hellish scene around them immediately overwhelmed many warriors with fear, and they screamed and began to hide in all directions.

Wei Yuan had long known that the Witch Clan were often not truly fearless of death, but rather driven to fight like puppets. The core of controlling the entire legion was the legion commander and the military flag, with the altar being secondary.

In the past, while they knew about it, they didn't have a good way to deal with it. Now, with missiles that are powerful and difficult to intercept, and taking advantage of the time when the Great Shamans were severely injured, Wei Yuan was able to wipe out the legion's central army in one fell swoop.

The vanguard of the witch clan army began to fall into disarray, and in the blink of an eye, the disarray turned into a rout.

Wei Yuan immediately led his troops to pursue and drive away the routed Wu tribe army, while simultaneously ordering the reserve forces to retake the small fortress. The strong Dao Foundation cultivators carried in new city defense cannons, and boxes of ammunition were transported into the fortress, allowing for the rapid reconstruction of its defenses.

Standing in Hongye's position, one can see that their left flank has been completely defeated.

Of the three legions, one had already suffered a defeat. Another had suffered heavy losses and was completely incapacitated. Only one legion was still relatively intact, but it was also the weakest. At this moment, it was overwhelmed by the fleeing army, and its rear guard, composed entirely of wizard nobles, fled without a fight.

Three legions, a total of 210,000 soldiers, were defeated just like that?
Hongye was so enraged that his vision blurred, and he wished he could unleash a blood curse to turn all the sorcerers and nobles in the rear guard of this legion into filthy blood. But he also knew he couldn't do that. If he did, the Rain Kingdom might have to be ruled by a new sorcerer.

In her anger, Hongye also sensed danger.

The collapse of the left flank has completely exposed the flank of the Central Army. Wei Yuan now leads over 100,000 soldiers. If he disperses the routed troops and attacks the flank of the Central Army, the Central Army will likely also be defeated.

The Central Army Corps is besieging Ding'an City with all its might, and the two sides have entered an extremely brutal and bloody stalemate.

Whenever the witch army wiped out the defenders on the city walls and prepared for a deep attack, a volley of missiles would fall, separating the vanguard from the center. Then, artillery fire from the towers behind the city would come down, blasting all the witch soldiers on the city walls to death.

Once the shelling stops, a new batch of defenders will climb the city walls, enter the fortifications, and resume the siege.

Hongye had lost count of how many times this had happened. The witch warriors at the front were now gripped by extreme terror, desperately trying to break free of the suppression and escape. It was only thanks to the altar's suppression that they could continue their siege, disregarding their own lives.

However, half of the sacrificial power stored in the dozen or so altars at the front line had already been used up, and not even a decent blood curse had been activated.

The witch race has altars to suppress their instinctive fears, and the human race obviously has similar methods.

Hongye saw that the defenders who had scaled the city walls had bloodshot eyes, as if they were insane. Many of them, even with multiple sword wounds, dragged a member of the Wu tribe off the walls and jumped. Others, knowing that cannon fire was about to engulf them, did not dodge but instead laughed and hugged the Wu tribe member next to them, and together they were killed in the cannon fire.

But what Hongye found most intolerable was that Wei Yuan had actually restored the defenses of the six small fortresses on the front lines. Countless Wu Clan warriors had fought their way through artillery fire and trampled over the corpses of their comrades to secure those fortresses. Now, was everything to be restored to its original state, and the fortresses to be attacked all over again?

Hongye suddenly said, "I need to use that thing now."

The Holy Shaman beside him said, "Are you sure you want to use it now? The great battle has only just begun." "Now! The Qingming Sect has the most living people right now, so the effect will be the best. I want them to know the consequences of daring to defy the Ancestral Shamans, daring to defy me!"

The Holy Witch said, "There's no need to add that last half sentence. I don't think you have much of a chance to become a Heavenly Witch, let alone dream of replacing the Ancestral Witch."

A dangerous glint flashed in Hongye's eyes. The holy witch immediately took a step back, creating distance, and said, "What do you want to do? I'm just telling the truth."

The murderous intent in Hongye's eyes subsided, and she asked, "Where is the target I'm looking for?"

Before the Holy Wizard appeared an image of the Azure Netherworld, with several cities marked within it. One of these cities was exceptionally large, and its soul light shone exceptionally brightly.

"This is Yong'an City, and it's the most crowded place right now."

Hongye clearly didn't want to waste time arguing with him, and said, "Very well, let's begin."

Two more pairs of arms emerged from the ribs of the Holy Witch, each holding a different magical artifact. Then, specks of starlight flew from his forehead and landed on Hongye.

Hongye's face contorted, and his whole body trembled, seemingly in extreme pain. Above him appeared a colossal beast with a massive body, its size enormous, as if a dragon's head had grown on the body of a giant elephant.

But at this moment, the giant beast was bound by layers of chains, with black flames burning on the chains, making it unable to move.

The starlight emanating from the holy sorcerer landed on the chains, slowly lifting them up and nearly extinguishing the black fire. Although the dragon-elephant beast was not yet free, it could move slightly.

Hongye suddenly opened her eyes, and in her pupils appeared layers upon layers of images, unfathomable and without end.

He took out a bright red glass bead, crushed it with force, and a surge of blood energy shot straight into the sky! In the blink of an eye, all the clouds above Qingming turned dark red, and the few patches of blue sky were being obscured by the spreading blood clouds.

This is a blood curse capable of covering the entire realm!
Wei Yuan immediately ordered all cities to activate formations to resist the blood curse, and at the same time, he ordered mortals to take medicine. However, there were not many medicines that could resist the blood curse, and only a small number of civilians could obtain one pill.

However, misfortune never comes singly; suddenly, an autumn leaf drifted down in front of Wei Yuan. The leaf was long and slender like a knife, half of it withered yellow, and the veins had a hint of red. Wei Yuan reached out to catch it, and the falling leaf lightly grazed his palm, almost cutting his skin.

Could such a sharp blade slice through Wei Yuan's skin?
The fallen leaf in Wei Yuan's hand vanished into nothingness, but there were still fallen leaves around, autumn leaves were falling on the battlefield, and the entire realm was as if it were late autumn, with red leaves falling like snow.

Soldiers in the army formation kept accidentally getting covered in red leaves, screaming and collapsing to the ground. But this wasn't where the most leaves fell; the most were in Yong'an City!

Red leaves fell in droves throughout the city, creating a poignant and beautiful scene.

But the people in the city had no time to appreciate the scenery; the red leaves, once they touched them, immediately left horrific wounds. Many fell to the ground and died silently. The survivors screamed and hid in their rooms, only to find in despair that the walls could not block the red leaves, and that there were autumn leaves scattered inside as well!
Blood was everywhere, staining the streets red, and thick blood plasma was flowing in the drains.

Many people are already dead, but their bodies are still being cut into pieces by the falling red leaves.

In an instant, Yong'an City was on the verge of becoming a death trap!
Wei Yuan appeared above Yong'an City and, with a single glance, determined that the number of civilian casualties in the city exceeded 100,000, with many families wiped out entirely.

These falling leaves were clearly the work of Hongye. Wei Yuan knew he was powerful, but he never expected him to be this powerful! Seeing that the falling leaves showed no sign of stopping, Wei Yuan was extremely anxious but had no good solution. He could only try his best to activate Qingming and suppress it with the power of the realm.

However, half of the Azure Nether Power had already been used up by the beings in an instant, leaving insufficient power to combat the blood curses that permeated the realm, making it impossible to counter the Floating Leaf spell. Moreover, among the Azure Nether Mysteries, there was none suitable for countering the Floating Leaf spell.

In Yong'an City, ordinary people who were fleeing suddenly collapsed as they ran, and their bodies continued to separate, becoming large pieces and then slowly becoming smaller pieces.

Wei Yuan felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head, and his anger had nowhere to go. He wanted to use all his luck to go and kill Hongye together with the girl Yin Yang!

Just then, the Azure Immortal Stone suddenly trembled, and the countless azure energies that Wei Yuan had collected from the mortal world were absorbed by it like rivers flowing into the sea. In an instant, more than 100,000 azure energies had been completely absorbed by the Immortal Stone.

The Azure Celestial Stone then emitted light, and as celestial music began, hundreds of birds and celestial animals flew around it, and celestial maidens like the Moon Goddess danced.

In the center of the immortal stone, above the azure sea, sits an immortal, his aura lofty and ethereal, existing in harmony with heaven and earth.

After absorbing the accumulated human fortune of Wei Yuan over many days, the final divine mystery of the Azure Netherworld Stone finally manifested, becoming: the Unparalleled Dao Domain.
