Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Ten days later, in the deep of night, the sky was filled with stars.

At the Ascension Platform of Heavenly Pillar Mountain, Zhao Xuanjing stood with his hands behind his back, quietly gazing at the starry sky, his eyes revealing a look of tension and anticipation.

When the moon reached its zenith, a jade token hanging from his waist suddenly began to flicker inconsistently.

Zhao Xuanjing was overjoyed at this sight, immediately taking down the jade token and holding it in his hand, hastily establishing contact with someone in the Outer Void Sea.

A moment later, the pressure in Zhao Xuanjing's heart vanished, instantly becoming full of vigor and vitality.

He carefully reattached the jade token to his waist, then took out a handful of jade talismans, waving them down to the human world.

These jade talismans suddenly transformed into streams of light, flying towards various parts of the Central Continent, with a majority heading southeast.

Immediately after, he took out a Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Shell from his storage bag, and began transmitting a stream of divine thought into the treasure shell.

"Hmm, the 'East Wind' is here!"

"The 'East Wind' is here, haha, inform everyone, let all demon beasts dive into the Beast Nest Bag and await my imperial decree!"

"The Great True Monarch orders: 'East Wind' has arrived, the decisive battle begins! Gather the troops, blow the horns!"

"...Relay the Hierarch's order, the Alliance army is to assemble urgently, all cultivators board the ships and await orders. The God-slaying War, officially begins!"

With the order from the Dragon-subduing Demon-suppressing Great Master, there was an immediate response across the Central Continent.

Especially the million-strong army of cultivators stationed on the Heavenly Burial Plain frontline, who were methodically boarding ships in preparation under the leadership of the Alliance's higher-ups.

Early the next morning, the Great Wall of the Golden Wall, which stretches for tens of thousands of miles, was illuminated by light shields and barriers, and the rumbling sound rose as colossal stone giants, each nearly a hundred feet tall, emerged from the ground in front of the wall, fully armored like giant war beasts.

At the same time, doors to nearly ten thousand Hidden Soldier Storages were opened, with gold puppets, wooden puppets, earth puppets, stone puppets, corpse puppets, and all kinds of automaton beasts pouring out one after another.

More than a million puppets and automaton beasts of various levels, under the control of thousands of puppet masters, formed a puppet army in orderly lines extending endlessly, advancing onto the walls to replace the Daoist Soldier Corps previously defending the city.

The Wan Gui Ancestor, head of the Immortal Device Sect, suspended in the sky above the Great Wall of the Golden Wall, looked down at the boundless puppet army below, feeling overwhelmed with confidence and ambition.

Behind the Golden Wall, towers thousands of feet high erupted one after another with spirit light soaring to the sky, then activated the array base functions, consecutively forming dozens of high-level arrays like the Five Elements Yin Yang and others,

These arrays were interconnected, surprisingly forming an "Extinction Forbidden Zone" covering tens of thousands of miles.

However, astonishingly, there were very few living people inside each tower; aside from a handful of death warriors controlling the formations, the elite Daoist soldiers usually guarding the towers were nowhere to be found. Where exactly had they gone?

...

Behind the "Extinction Forbidden Zone," the entire sky suddenly became a kaleidoscope of colors, wondrously and magnificently filled with endless killing intent.

A dense multitude of cloud boats, floating fortresses, and various types of aerial warships undulated, forming various cluster formations. Centered around Flying Immortal City at the Heavenly Origin position, they were scattered within a thousand-mile radius, forming a sky covered with warships as far as the eye can see, a fighting spirit so intense it changed the color of the world.

After a moment of distortion and blurring, four figures appeared over the ten thousand flying warships, which were none other than the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord of the Primordial Demon Sect, Ancient Scholar Xie Jue Nan, Dragon Serpent Emperor, and Heavenly Termination Immortal from the Shui Mu Palace, all four Divinity Transformation True Monarchs.

"Mr. Xie, it's almost time, let's begin!" the Nine Chimeras Demon Lord said in a deep voice.

The Dragon Serpent Emperor and Heavenly Termination Immortal also gave a slight nod toward Xie Jue Nan.

Xie Jue Nan immediately raised his arm, and a white light flashed, shooting towards Flying Immortal City.

"Boom, boom boom, boom boom boom..."

Soon after, several inspiring drumbeats suddenly exploded from within Flying Immortal City, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere at the moment,

The drumbeats shook the heavens, spreading across thousands of miles, each beat clearly transmitted into the ears of all participating cultivators.

From Nascent Soul Ancestors to Qi Refining Taoist Soldiers, everyone who heard the drumbeats felt their hearts jolt, faces filled with fanaticism, their fighting spirit fiercely rising.

An indescribable desire to fight surged in everyone's minds, even a reckless impulse to perish with the enemy.

The increasingly rapid drumbeats, like heartbeat pulses, fell into the ears of the million cultivators, their fighting spirit exploding.

...

The intent of the Tianzhu Realm's mobilization for a large-scale decisive battle was evident, unable to escape the spies of the Netherworld.

Of course, the Central Continent Alliance never intended to deceive, because in a world-level battle, both sides compete in overall strength, and minor tricks or little gimmicks cannot change the big picture.

At that moment, in the altar plaza of the Blood Sea Pyramid, Emperor Yi gazed emotionlessly at the immense light screen suspended in mid-air.

This light screen, over a hundred meters in length and width, was conspicuously divided into dozens of regions, each corresponding to a scene... the Golden Wall... "Extinction Restricted Zone"... Yunhuang Mountain Range... Flying Immortal City... countless floating fortresses... Heavenly Pillar Mountain... and so forth.

Some scenes were crystal clear, like the Yunhuang Mountain Range, the Golden Wall...

Some scenes were exceptionally blurry, as if disrupted, like Flying Immortal City, the "Extinction Restricted Zone"...

It could be said that all the actions of the Central Continent Alliance were "seen" by the Netherworld.

After observing for a long time, Emperor Yi suddenly gave a cold-blooded command: "It's time, start!"

No sooner had the words fallen than a group of Divinity Transformation True Monarchs behind Emperor Yi spoke up in unison.
