Wu Shattered Star River

At this moment, the Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor understood everything.

Bloodsun and Blood Martyr hadn't died; they had secretly emerged from the Ancestral God Burial Grounds, and the Demon Ancestor had used them to set a trap.

The Demon Ancestor had deliberately broken their soul tablets. It was estimated that many great demons hadn't known the truth at first, so naturally, they all thought it was real.

The Demon Clan's low morale was real, and their great defeat was real. Only in this way could they be lured into the trap.

The Demon Ancestor was truly ruthless, sacrificing tens of millions of Demon Clan soldiers to lure them into the trap.

The God Clan and Demon Clan had long colluded, luring them near Heavenly Demon City, and then the armies and experts on both sides joined forces to attack them.

Most importantly, the Demon Ancestor and God Lord attacked simultaneously, besieging the Jade Emperor!

The Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor previously believed that the Jade Emperor had a treasure that could traverse the void and quickly reach the battlefield.

But she had forgotten one thing: while the Jade Emperor could quickly traverse the void, they could not.

If the Jade Emperor was attacked, they would not be able to quickly return to Suppress Immortal City to protect him. Although the Jade Emperor's combat power was strong, no one knew if he could survive the siege of two peerless experts.

Because of this, when the Heavenly Court received this news, the morale of the army would instantly plummet.

The experts no longer had any fighting spirit, only wanting to retreat as quickly as possible and return to see if the Jade Emperor was in trouble.

Moreover, the God Clan and Demon Clan were united here, their numbers twice theirs. They would lose no matter how they fought.

If there was no news of the Jade Emperor being besieged, they would suffer a great defeat. Now that the news of the Jade Emperor had spread, they were destined for a crushing defeat.

Of these two hundred million soldiers, perhaps less than twenty or thirty percent would escape alive? How many experts could escape?

The Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor had no confidence at all!

Despite knowing the outcome, the Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor had no choice but to roar, "All troops, listen to my orders, retreat separately and directly back to the Heavenly Court realm! All Heavenly Emperors, listen to my orders, fight to the death!"

A crushing defeat was already inevitable. The Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor only had one path to take—to drag all the Heavenly Emperors to fight to the death as a rearguard, allowing more soldiers and experts to retreat.

"Escape—"

"Retreat!"

"Run!"

With the Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor's order, hundreds of millions of troops immediately scattered and fled south, all releasing their strongest immortal techniques to maximize their speed and run for their lives.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

At this moment, countless battleships pierced through the sky from the southeast and southwest, filled with densely packed Demon Clan and God Clan troops.

Since the God Clan and Demon Clan had set up this trap, they had naturally prepared in advance. The Demon Clan army from nearby cities swarmed over, and the God Clan's army that had been brought this time all pressed forward, wanting to leave as many Heavenly Court troops as possible behind.

"Kill—"

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor roared and charged towards Bloodsun. The Southern Heavenly Emperor and Northern Heavenly Emperor also roared and charged towards the Heavenly Emperor-level experts of the God Clan and Demon Clan.

However, the Celestial Emperor, Terrestrial Emperor, and Qiu Yu hesitated. They were the most loyal subordinates of the Jade Emperor. They were not thinking about the life and death of these soldiers; they were worried about the Jade Emperor's safety, wanting to rush back to Suppress Immortal City as quickly as possible to protect him.

If the Jade Emperor died, there would only be one person who could succeed him in the Heavenly Court, and that was the Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor.

With the Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor's personality, they would probably not have a good life in the future, and their families would also be suppressed. Therefore, they were eager to return to Suppress Immortal City to rescue the Jade Emperor.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

Those Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings were very obedient. Most of them did not hesitate, turning into streams of light and breaking through to the south.

They all knew that staying would only lead to death. The Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor and the others were fighting to the death as a rearguard to create opportunities for them to retreat. They were naturally not stupid.

The Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor was besieged by Blood Wheel and Godly Heaven Inquiry. She was very strong, but these two had similar combat power to her. Although she desperately fought back, she was quickly injured.

"Buzz!"

On this side, the Celestial Emperor fought with a Supreme God Emperor for a while, and a seal stone appeared in his hand. The seal stone exploded, and a terrifying wave swept out, blowing away several Demon Emperors and God Emperors nearby.

After the seal stone exploded, a black hole appeared in space, and the Celestial Emperor actually drilled into it, escaping alone!

"Celestial Emperor, you…"

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor was filled with anger when he saw this. Although many Emperor-level and King-level experts had escaped, most of the soldiers had been intercepted.

The Celestial Emperor was escaping now, did that mean he didn't want these hundreds of millions of troops?

"Retreat!"

Qiu Yu roared in a deep voice. He repelled a great demon with a sword, and at the same time, the sword light swept across, forcing back several Demon Emperors and God Emperors.

Then, raging flames ignited on his body, and his body turned into a stream of light, shooting straight south.

"Bastard!"

The Southern Heavenly Emperor cursed loudly. The Celestial Emperor and Qiu Yu had both retreated. How could they withstand so many Supreme God Emperors and great demons?

Originally, if everyone worked together to resist, many soldiers could escape, but now that this had happened, if they didn't retreat, they would all die here.

"Let's retreat first. Returning to Suppress Immortal City to protect the emperor is the right thing to do!"

The Terrestrial Emperor's eyes flashed. He used a secret treasure to smash a great demon, causing him to vomit blood and fly backward. He roared in a deep voice, fleeing desperately to the south.

The Longevity Heavenly Emperor sighed slightly when he saw that the situation was over. He looked at the Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor and said, "Purple Subtlety, let's retreat!"

"Retreat…"

The Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor was covered in blood. She sighed helplessly in her heart. She was not afraid of death, but she was unwilling to die such a meaningless death.

Moreover, if she and the Longevity Heavenly Emperor, Southern and Northern Heavenly Emperors all died here, the Heavenly Court would probably be truly finished.

The Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor took out a treasure, a flying sword. This flying sword was surrounded by golden sword energy. As soon as it was taken out, it felt incomparably sharp, causing the Demon Emperors and God Emperors nearby to feel suffocated.

"Back off!"

"Get out of the way!"

Godly Heaven Inquiry and Blood Wheel roared at the same time. They knew very well how powerful this sword was.

The golden silk energy on this sword was unstoppable. Ordinary Demon Emperors and God Emperors would die if they touched it. Only they could block it.

However, there was not much golden silk energy on this sword. It would be consumed after at most a dozen attacks, and the Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor would have to spend a very long time nurturing it.

This was the Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor's life-saving treasure. With this sword, she had also killed many Demon Emperors and God Emperors.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

The Demon Emperors and God Emperors nearby knew the power of this sword and retreated one after another. The Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor shot out the long sword in her hand, stabbing straight at Blood Wheel.

At the same time, she gave the Longevity Heavenly Emperor and the Southern and Northern Heavenly Emperors a look. The three Heavenly Emperors simultaneously took out their life-saving treasures, or released their ultimate moves, retreating while fighting.

"Godly Heaven Kill, you stay, the rest of you go after those Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings!"

Godly Heaven Inquiry transmitted a message to a Supreme God Clan expert, and at the same time, glanced at Blood Wheel.

Blood Wheel immediately understood, letting Bloodsun and another great demon stay, while Xue Yu and Blood Martyr led the team away to chase down the Immortal Emperors of the Heavenly Court.

Godly Heaven Inquiry and Blood Wheel were very clear that although the opportunity this time was very good, it would be difficult to keep the Purple Subtlety Heavenly Emperor and the Longevity Heavenly Emperor.

It was too difficult to kill a Heavenly Emperor-level expert. The counterattack before death could very likely take one of them away.

Therefore, their goal this time was not to keep the Heavenly Emperors, although it would be best if they could keep one or two.

Their goal was to keep these hundreds of millions of troops, keep most of the King-level experts, and kill a dozen or twenty Emperor-level experts.

As long as they could achieve their goal, the Heavenly Court would be greatly weakened.

If the Demon Ancestor and God Lord could kill the Jade Emperor, then the Heavenly Court would be completely finished.
