War God Long Ao

The City of Sin.

When Long Ao received news that the Four Great Forces had formed a Destruction Army, he was not unsettled as one might expect. In fact, he was exceptionally calm.

"Sect Leader, what do you plan to do?"

Snake Princess was deeply worried, not just for the Dragon Sect, but also for Dugu Bai’s safety.

She had good reason to be. The Four Great Forces had dispatched a full four Realm Emperors and forty Realm Kings—a force capable of annihilating an Ordinary Spirit Realm. Even the combined might of all the experts in Kyushu would be unable to stop them.

"Since the Four Great Forces are looking for trouble, I’ll be happy to play their game."

The corner of Long Ao’s mouth curled into a cold smirk. He glanced at the Five Great Emperors before him and asked, "Are you willing to accompany me?"

"We are."

"Good. We leave immediately."

This was an all-or-nothing gamble for Long Ao. He wasn’t just taking the Five Great Emperors; he was bringing the entire City Management Camp with him.

Long Ao did a rough calculation. Besides the Five Great Emperors, the City Management Camp had over one hundred members. In other words, the City of Sin had over a hundred Great Venerable Martial Artists.

Moreover, under the command of the Five Great Emperors, there were a combined total of fifty World King Martial Artists and over two hundred Great Venerable Martial Artists.

The numbers were shocking once he took a closer look.

Adding it all up, the force he could now mobilize consisted of five Realm Emperors, over fifty Realm Kings, and over three hundred Great Venerable Martial Artists.

’Fuck.’

Even Long Ao couldn’t help but curse at the final tally. He had only just arrived in the City of Sin and had no real understanding of it. After so many years of building their power, the Five Great Emperors’ forces were truly no joke.

"Sect Leader, will this force do?"

"More than enough. I’d like to see just how the Four Great Forces plan to annihilate my Dragon Sect."

The Four Great Forces had sent four Realm Emperors and forty Realm Kings—a seemingly formidable army. But compared to the forces from the City of Sin, they paled in comparison.

Long Ao knew perfectly well that while the City of Sin’s forces were impressive, they still fell short when compared to the full might of the Four Great Forces.

’No matter how you look at it, the Four Great Forces are the undisputed overlords of the Kyushu Continent. They’ve been around for so many years; their power and foundations must be immense.’

’To truly contend with the Four Great Forces, the power I have now is still not quite enough.’

’A Corpse Slave Army.’

Long Ao knew that to contend with the Four Great Forces, the fastest way was to build a Corpse Slave Army.

「Ordinary Spirit Realm. The Dragon Sect.」

Dugu Bai, Long Potian, Xia Army, and the others stood atop a mountain peak, their gazes fixed gravely on the distance. In another hour, the Destruction Army of the Four Great Forces would arrive.

Four Realm Emperors and forty Realm Kings.

"What should we do now?"

Xia Army was extremely worried. He had thought that after the Sect Leader’s departure, the Heaven and Earth Array would be enough to fend off any threat. But now, it seemed unlikely the array could withstand an assault from four Realm Emperors and forty Realm Kings.

Dugu Bai waved dismissively. "We’ll deal with them as they come. Remember this: no matter what happens, we must hold our ground. The Sect Leader entrusted the Dragon Sect to us when he left. We cannot let it fall on our watch."

"That’s right. We must protect the Dragon Sect."

Hearing the words of Long Potian and Dugu Bai, Xia Army gave a helpless smile and said, "But can we really hold them off?"

Xia Army had barely finished speaking when the entire mountain peak began to tremble. RUMBLE... RUMBLE... The sound was earth-shattering.

The Four Great Forces had begun their attack.

Feeling the continuous trembling of the mountain, everyone’s expression changed. Dugu Bai said with a cold laugh, "Activate the Heaven and Earth Array. This time, I’ll make sure none of them leave alive."

Below the mountain peak.

The forty-four Martial Artists swarmed in. Having learned from past mistakes, the Four Great Forces wouldn’t have dared to set foot in the Dragon Sect so easily, but the situation was completely different now. With four Realm Emperors joining forces, unless a Void Saint Martial Artist personally descended, who could possibly stand against them?

As the forty-four Martial Artists swarmed in, they were immediately enveloped by the Heaven and Earth Array. If Long Ao had been present, the array’s full power would have certainly been enough to hold them back. The problem, however, was that Long Ao was absent.

While Dugu Bai and Long Potian knew how to activate the Heaven and Earth Array, their own cultivation levels were too low. Compounding the issue, they had no real understanding of Arrays. These two factors combined cut the Heaven and Earth Array’s power by a full half.

The forty-four Martial Artists frantically attacked the Heaven and Earth Array. The Four Great Realm Emperors had long anticipated this and had clearly come prepared.

Countless people were eagerly watching the Four Great Forces’ assault on the Dragon Sect, all of them wanting to see if Long Ao could pull off another comeback. But no one knew that Long Ao wasn’t actually in the Dragon Sect at all.

It had to be admitted that the combined power of the Four Great Realm Emperors was indeed terrifying. In just half an hour, the Heaven and Earth Array could no longer hold.

The Heaven and Earth Array drew its power from Heaven and Earth itself. Thus, instead of being destroyed by the attack, it simply dissipated. The array vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, and seeing this, the faces of the attackers lit up with joy.

A Realm Emperor was a Realm Emperor, after all. In this attack on the Dragon Sect, the Four Great Forces hadn’t lost a single soldier and had directly broken the Heaven and Earth Array.

"Hahaha, Dragon Sect! Kill them all, spare no one!"

The forty Realm Kings swarmed forward, but at that moment, a terrifying aura descended upon them. Feeling this aura, everyone was shocked. They scrambled out of the Dragon Sect in terror, staring at the sect before them, not knowing what had just happened.

"Which senior is overseeing the Dragon Sect? We ask that you show yourself."

The Four Great Realm Emperors stared intently at the Dragon Sect. They could feel the terrifying aura but saw no one emerge. This development left them all deeply puzzled.

They didn’t dare to act rashly. After all, the aura that had just enveloped them was simply too powerful. Without a doubt, it had to be a Void Saint Martial Artist.

’There’s a Void Saint Martial Artist in the Dragon Sect?’

This was something none of them had ever expected. If the Dragon Sect truly had a Void Saint overseeing it, they wouldn’t have dared to come even if it meant their deaths. The gap between a Void Saint Martial Artist and a Void Martial Artist was enormous; they couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath.

"Senior, we ask that you show yourself."

"Senior, please reveal yourself."

"Senior."

No matter how the Four Great Realm Emperors called out, the Dragon Sect remained as silent as Hell. No one answered; only a chilly wind swept by.

’What in the world is going on?’

Everyone was baffled. ’Normally, if a Void Saint Martial Artist were really stationed here, they wouldn’t let us run rampant like this. Could the Dragon Sect just be bluffing?’

At this thought, the Four Great Realm Emperors waved their hands. Ten Realm Kings immediately shot toward the Dragon Sect, vanishing from sight in an instant. The intent of the Four Great Realm Emperors was simple: send ten Realm Kings in first to scout out what was really happening.
