Chapter 381 - The Grand-Orient Realm’s Number One Softie
The news about the Earthorigin Sect’s army entering the Grand-Orient Realm couldn’t be concealed. The next day, it had spread throughout the Grand-Orient Sect. There was talk of a hundred and fifty thousand troops, on top of a hundred and eighty thousand Elysian purifiers. The Grand-Orient Sect, Onyx Sect, and Southsky Sect were panicked! The joy of their big victory three months ago had now been washed away.
Having sold the realm for support, the Elysian Emperor was reviled by the entire world. But so what? He didn't care about his reputation. All he wanted was to unify the Grand-Orient Realm.
"History is written by the victor. No matter what price he has to pay, the Elysian Emperor intends to be that victor!"
This was known to all. The Grand-Orient Sect was unaware of how much discussion and arguing the two armies had incited. All they knew was that the armies were headed for the sect. On the third day, they arrived in front of the Grand-Orient Mountains.
"Our opponents are becoming more and more formidable. At the beginning, there were only Cloudmist Sword School and Onyx Sect. But now, the Elysian Emperor and Earthorigin Sect’s vice sect master marched with an army of three hundred and thirty thousand!"
Within the Grand-Orient Formation, more than a hundred thousand Onyx legionnaires and Grand-Orient guardians faced a terrible crisis. If they knew that the ninety-nine imperial dragon pulses couldn’t be restored, they would be in further turmoil. After all, there were two Sky Saint powerhouses personally leading the opposition.
The Grand-Orient guardians and Onyx legionnaires were in a precarious state. Even if they had Li Wudi, they lacked the resolution they had shown in the previous battle.
In this solemn atmosphere, the armies appeared outside the formation, intensifying the tremendous pressure. The Elysian purifiers were red-eyed, having been humiliated by the Southsky Sect. The past three months had been miserable for them. Finally, they were here for revenge!
Their densely packed lifebound beasts roared, shaking the Grand-Orient Mountains. Even the Grand-Orient Formation trembled.
In fact, there might be fewer than the purported three hundred and thirty thousand troops, since some might sneak into the Abyssal Battlefield when the formation weakened to take the opportunity to attack through the Bottomless Pit, destroying the formation from within.
"Jun Shengxiao, the great sinner! This time, they mean to burn their bridges.”
There was low morale among the Grand-Orient Sect and Onyx Sect. Resistance did little to help mental frailty, and a gloomy atmosphere had enveloped the masses.
Frowning, Tianming looked straight ahead. This was a tense moment. Together with Li Wudi, Ye Shaoqing, the Onyx Emperor, and several others, he stepped out of the formation, arriving before Heaven’s Elysium’s army. Since they immediately returned, they weren’t noticed.
Compared to the enemy, the Grand-Orient Sect and Onyx Sect certainly lacked in numbers. The other side had a hundred and forty elysian elders and a hundred earthorigin elders—at least five times their numbers.
These people stood in front of the armies. Heaven’s Elysium was headed by Jun Shengxiao, three Cardinal Kings, Jun Niancang, and more than a hundred elders, while the Earthorigin Sect had its vice sect master, Yuan Hun, junior sect master Yuan Chen, and a hundred elders. Behind them were the red-eyed, murderous Elysian purifiers and disdainful Earthorigin defenders.
From where Tianming stood, the enemy’s armies seemed endless. Both beastmaster and lifebound beast gathered and roars filled the air. Their might and majesty rendered their opponents breathless.
