Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

In the early morning at Pangu Palace, before Lin Xuan could fully wake up from the gentle embrace of the Holy Mother of Fire, Jiang Ziya's old voice boomed in the courtyard.

Lin Xuan put on a long robe and came out. Seeing Jiang Ziya covered in sweat, he frowned: "Old Jiang, calm down. Wasn't Ji Chang's attack expected? Why are you panicking?"

Jiang Ziya wiped his sweat and said urgently, "My lord, this time is different! Ji Chang has not only dispatched troops, but also enlisted the help of experts from the Western Sect. According to scouts, Venerable Kasyapa of the Western Sect, leading three thousand Jiedi gods, has bypassed the five passes and intends to launch a surprise attack on Chaoge from the rear of our Great Shang!"

Lin Xuan sneered: "Those two bastards from the Western Sect, they really couldn't resist jumping out after all. Kasyapa? Who does he think he is, daring to cause trouble in Chaoge?"

At this moment, Su Daji also approached, holding a stack of intelligence reports: "My lord, the old prime minister was right. Xiqi has mobilized its entire force this time, boasting an army of 600,000, led by Nangong Shi. Moreover, I've noticed some activity from the Heavenly Court as well. Haotian has been frequently contacting the Western Sect recently, seemingly trying to seize some of humanity's fortune amidst the chaos."

Lin Xuan stroked his chin: It seems that Haotian hasn't been beaten enough by Lin Jian yet.

Since they want to play blitzkrieg, let's play along. Lin Xuan turned to Jiang Ziya, "Old Jiang, how's that 'Chaoge Highway No. 1' I asked you to build coming along?"

Jiang Ziya's eyes lit up: The entire line is open to traffic! My lord, that thing you gave me called 'cement' is truly miraculous! The road it paved is as smooth as a mirror, and the speed of carriages running on it has increased at least three times!

"Alright." Lin Xuan waved his hand and issued the order: "Have Wen Zhong lead his troops along Highway 1 to intercept the main force of Xiqi. Also, have Lin Wu lead his 'War God Battalion' to outflank Jia Ye's rear."

Upon hearing that there was a battle, Lin Wu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a God-Slaying Spear and looking excited: "Dad! Can I twist that bald monk's head off this time?"

Lin Xuan patted his son's head: "Why twist it off? It's too bloody. Bring him back and make him go to the underworld to clean the toilets for the Styx Ancestor for ten thousand years."

Lin Wu shouted: Alright! Brothers, follow me!

For a time, dust filled the air on the highway outside Chaoge City.

The Shang army donned the lightweight armor improved by Lin Xuan and rode various spirit beasts sponsored by the Dragon Clan, moving as fast as the wind.

Meanwhile, in a valley several hundred miles away from Chaoge.

Venerable Kasyapa, riding a white elephant, addressed his disciples with a compassionate expression: "My descent to the mortal realm is to guide the Great Shang Dynasty. Once we conquer Chaoge, the destiny of humanity will belong to my Western Sect."

Just then, a loud shout suddenly rang out from the sky.

You're asking for my grandma's leg to be saved!

A black spear shadow descended from the sky, and with a loud bang, it directly blasted down the mountain in front of Venerable Kasyapa.

Lin Wu led a group of burly men from the Wu tribe, riding on strange beasts that were engulfed in flames, and charged out like a tidal wave.

Venerable Kasyapa was so frightened he almost fell off the white elephant: Where did this petty thief come from! How dare he obstruct me!

Lin Wu chuckled and brandished his God-Slaying Spear: Remember this, your grandpa's name is Lin Wu! Today I'm here to send you to the underworld!

Venerable Kasyapa sneered: "A mere child, still wet behind the ears, dares to speak so arrogantly! All you guardians, seize him!"

Just as the three thousand Jiedi gods were about to make their move, they discovered that the ground beneath their feet had suddenly cracked open.

Countless golden rays rose from the ground, transforming into a massive array.

Lin Yun sat atop a cloud, waving a feather fan, and said with a smile, "Little brother, you fight, I'll set up the formation. This 'Simplified Formation of Ten Thousand Immortals' is perfect for testing against these bald monks."

Venerable Kasyapa felt at least 50% of his magical power suppressed. He looked at Lin Yun in the sky in horror: A formation master? When did the Great Shang Dynasty have so many freakish brats!

The battle below erupted instantly. Lin Wu was like a wolf charging into a flock of sheep; with each flash of his God-Slaying Spear, a Jiedi god was blasted into a bloody mist.

Meanwhile, on the main battlefield of Xiqi, Wen Zhong led the elite troops of the Shang Dynasty and used the mobility of the roads to launch a counter-encirclement.

Nangong Shi stared at the Shang army charging out from all directions, his eyes nearly popping out of his head: This is impossible! Weren't they still in Chaoge? How could they have arrived so quickly!
