Wu Shattered Star River
#2050 - Chapter 2050: The First Line of Defense Collapses
The demonic reinforcements arrived half a month later, bringing two Great Demons, over twenty Demon Emperors, and thirty million troops.
After a five-day rest, Blood Wheel ordered a full-scale assault.
They had thoroughly investigated the situation, and the demons knew all about the arrays within these cities.
Two Great Demons were stationed on each side of four cities, while Blood Wheel personally oversaw the remaining city.
Earth Emperor Tian Di arrived, Heavenly Emperor Tian Di went to Tianfeng City, and Yuqiuyu served as a mobile force, ready to provide support at any time.
Five cities, five Tian Dis, with one Tian Di guarding each city, plus the assistance of the Heavenly Secrets Demon Slaying Array within the cities, could withstand the assault for a short time.
The Great Demons didn't take action; they merely provided support. The main force was the Demon Emperors and Demon Kings leading the army in a fierce attack.
A war of attrition began!
The Heavenly Court had fewer experts and troops. Although they had the support of arrays, their overall strength was still much weaker.
The demons were not in a hurry. They launched small attacks every three days and large attacks every five days. Blood Wheel didn't resort to any conspiracies or tricks; he simply crushed them with overwhelming force, constantly depleting the Heavenly Court's troops and experts.
Ziwei Tian Di ordered Jiang Han not to engage in battle, so Jiang Han could only stay in White Dragon City's castle to cultivate.
Time passed quickly, and more than a month later, Tianfeng Realm was the first to report an emergency.
After all, this side had Ziwei Tian Di, Longevity Tian Di, and Earth Emperor Tian Di, all of whom were the most famous experts in the Heavenly Court, barely managing to stabilize the battle line.
The Tian Di experts on Tianfeng Realm's side were not strong enough; only Qingchen Hermit was a top-tier expert.
On the God Race side, Godly Sky Question personally led the team, easily suppressing Qingchen Hermit.
Yuqiuyu had no choice but to lead a team to provide support, which barely managed to withstand the God Race's attack.
However, half an hour after Yuqiuyu led the team away, a God Race and a Demon Race Tian Di-level expert descended and launched a surprise attack on Evergreen City.
With no Tian Di to resist, the city was easily breached, and Evergreen City fell.
The first line of defense, the three major realms, now had one realm fall.
The fall of Evergreen Realm didn't cause too much of a stir because the experts and troops of Evergreen Realm had been transferred to White Dragon Realm and Tianfeng Realm, leaving it almost an empty realm.
Although there were powerful arrays, there were no experts to help guard it, so it was normal for it to fall.
The bitter fighting continued, and people continued to die.
The Human Race urgently mobilized seventy to eighty million troops, which were still drawn from the major Immortal Kingdoms. Many soldiers were city guards from the major Immortal Kingdoms. After more than half a year of fierce fighting, over twenty million had already died.
Countless Heavenly Immortals died in battle, hundreds of Immortal Reverends died in battle, dozens of Immortal Kings died in battle, and fortunately, only about ten Immortal Emperors died in total from the two realms.
The Demon Race and God Race combined had more casualties than the Human Race, but mainly because Jiang Han's surprise attacks had killed many Demon Emperors; otherwise, it should have been on par with the Heavenly Court.
The two major forces could afford to lose and endure, but the Heavenly Court couldn't.
A month later, three cities on the White Dragon Realm side fell, leaving only White Dragon City and two other cities.
Tian Di-level experts had not yet started fighting; it was all the Emperor-level, King-level, Reverend-level, and troops engaged in a bloody battle.
Both sides were very restrained; it was not yet the moment for a decisive battle, and the strongest experts didn't need to fight desperately now.
Ziwei Tian Di and the others were stalling for time, waiting for the Jade Emperor and the Azure Emperor, waiting for Lu Ya Taoist.
In addition, she had a glimmer of hope in her heart—she hoped that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall would intervene.
The Demon Race and God Race didn't want to fight to the death; they both wanted the other side to fight first, wanting to preserve their strength.
Because if the Demon Race fought to the death with the Heavenly Court and several Great Demons died, it would benefit the God Race, and they might ultimately be doing a wedding dress for the God Race...
That's how alliances are, especially since the God Race and Demon Race are age-old enemies, both wary of the other!
Another half month passed, and all four cities on the Tianfeng Realm side were captured, leaving only the last city, Tianfeng City.
"Evacuate..."
According to the previously established plan, the Tianfeng City side had already begun to evacuate, with a large number of soldiers being evacuated to the second line of defense, leaving experts to defend to the death in the last wave, striving to injure or kill more God Race soldiers.
A month later, two cities on the White Dragon Realm side were captured, leaving only White Dragon City, and all the troops were squeezed into the city.
"Evacuate!"
Ziwei Tian Di didn't hesitate, activating the city's protective array and then began to arrange for all the troops to retreat to the second line of defense.
Many teleportation arrays had already been built in the city, which could directly teleport to other realms.
It would still take time to teleport so many troops away. Fortunately, White Dragon City's defensive array was very strong, and even if the Great Demons bombarded it together, it would take ten days to break through, and the troops would have already been transferred away.
The nine Great Demons didn't take action, mobilizing a large army to surround White Dragon City, letting the army bombard the city's protective shield.
It was meaningless to annihilate these troops; the Demon Race didn't want to force Ziwei Tian Di and the others to fight desperately.
Gradually nibbling away at the Heavenly Court's troops, constantly capturing cities and territories, and ultimately determining the outcome in a battle in the Heavenly Court was the kingly way.
Jiang Han didn't leave with the army; Ziwei Tian Di wouldn't let him go. Ziwei Tian Di was afraid that Jiang Han would be assassinated by his own people, so she always wanted him under her nose, so that he would be safe.
Xuanji came back and sat cross-legged beside Jiang Han.
During this period of constant bloody battles, Xuanji often went into battle and was injured many times, and once she was seriously injured. Fortunately, she had many treasures on her body and was not killed.
After so many fierce battles, Xuanji injured many demons, but didn't kill anyone. Each time, she would stop after injuring them.
It's just that...
Although she didn't kill, many demons died because of her.
For example, she severely injured a Demon King, and the Immortal King next to her would finish him off, killing a Demon King with one strike.
So Xuanji's state was becoming more and more abnormal, and she was listless and depressed.
From childhood to adulthood, she was a blank sheet of paper, well-versed in various Buddhist scriptures and proficient in various Buddhist teachings.
If Jiang Han hadn't appeared, she might not have left Mount Ling in this lifetime, walking upwards step by step, and eventually, after thousands or tens of thousands of years, she might have attained the Fruit of Enlightenment.
Jiang Han's appearance disrupted her Dao heart and plunged her into confusion.
In addition, Bodhisattva Yiyi said that she would have a tribulation in this life, and if she didn't overcome this tribulation, she would never be able to attain the Fruit of Enlightenment.
So she got into a dead end, determined to follow Jiang Han.
Now that she had followed Jiang Han for a period of time, her Buddhist heart was becoming more and more chaotic, her path to becoming a Buddha was becoming more and more distant, and her heart was becoming more and more confused.
She didn't know what to do, she could only silently sit beside Jiang Han, staring blankly.
Jiang Han glanced at Xuanji, but didn't try to guide her. He wasn't a Buddhist monk and didn't know how to help Xuanji.
Many things require a process, requiring Xuanji to experience, explore, comprehend, and seek for herself...
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Outside, tens of millions of troops constantly bombarded the array. After waiting for seven or eight days, all the troops were teleported away, and the city became empty.
The troops were gone, and it was the turn of the Immortal Reverends, Immortal Kings, and Immortal Emperors.
Ziwei Tian Di's voice transmission finally sounded: "Jiang Han, you leave White Dragon Realm first. You go to Misty Rain Realm with Longevity Tian Di. Obey his orders in everything and don't run around."
Jiang Han stood up and walked out of the room with Xuanji. He glanced at Ziwei Tian Di in the outer hall and asked, "Aunt Jiang, what about you?"
"Me?"
Ziwei Tian Di smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't fight to the death, but I will be the last one to evacuate. Before leaving, I have to take away one or two Demon Emperors, otherwise, wouldn't the powerful array of this White Dragon City be wasted?"
