Imperial God Emperor

At the same time. 

Countless trails of light  headed in the same direction; toward the city walls. 

These light figures were the several commanders and generals of the front line battalion, left defense battalion, right defense battalion and the rear guard battalion who came right away upon receiving the special military signal. 

On the city wall. 

Ye Qingyu was standing with hands clasped behind his back. 

On the other side, Lu Zhaoge's black armour was glowing with a golden light, and his expression was solemn. 

Following behind him, [Painting Saint] Liu Yuqing and the other Generals had a look of disbelief twisted across their face, looking in the direction outside Youyan Pass. 

The scene in the distance was madness and horror that they had never seen since they joined the military.

The boundary of the highest level of alert of Youyan Pass issued a dazzling golden glow that turned the ash grey sky into an extreme silvery white colour. 

This silvery white colour, like a light arrow, or a finger jabbing the eyeball, made experts below the Bitter Sea stage felt a burning pain in their eyes upon direct eye contact with the silver light, unable to distinguish what was happening before their eyes. And in the midst of the silvery clouds, a variety of shapes, and odd coloured demonic aura, began to spread around in a very bizarre path. 

In the distance. 

At the end of a snowy mountain connected to heaven and earth.

The snowy mist and blizzard that filled the sky were like hurricane waves rolling across in the ocean 

The demons that were everywhere like locusts, suddenly emerged, like a river bursting its banks, and came sweeping over from the horizon. 

Where the demon tide passed, countless snow-capped mountains were instantly collapsed.

Between heaven and earth, a tornado-like blizzard hurricane was suddenly triggered. In the distance, the sky appeared to be falling, and the ground crumbling. The originally quiet and peaceful stretch of snow-capped mountains was instantly crushed into a vortex of quicksand, and snowy waves were constantly lifted into the sky. The force was violent, boundless, and endless. 

The demon beast tide that was set off on all sides, like a giant earthshaking wave, charged towards Youyan Pass, as if to instantly swallow up the border town of the Human Race. 

The North city gate where everyone stood, was the first to bear the brunt. It was the main direction of attack of the Southern Incline army. 

On the city wall. 

Ye Qingyu's eyesight could see very far away.  

Moments before he had just stepped onto the city wall, and had already seen through the layers of snow and fog and saw the demon beast storming and roaring over ten miles away like berserk mountains. 

But there was some puzzlement in his mind. 

Because the chaos, the sudden attack that was like a surging wave of beasts, did not seem like the fighting style of the Southern Incline army. 

Among the four foreign races in the borders of the Snow Empire, Ye Qingyu had the greatest understanding of the Snow Ground Demon Court. He could claim to know the main battle corps of the Snow Ground Demon Court, the Southern Incline army, like the back of his hand. The commander of the Southern Incline army, Burning Snow, was known as the strongest military God in the Snow Ground Demon Court, otherwise he would not have been evenly matched with Lu Zhaoge of the Youyan Army for several years.

Therefore, the entire Southern Incline army could be said to be the elites of the Snow Ground Demon Court. They paid particular attention into planning in combats, knew when to advance or retreat, had strict military laws, and was a very terrifying demon army. 

But the situation before them, the demon tide in the distance, and the unprecedented chaos, were like a group of beast that had gone berserk. They gave off an imposing and terrifying force, but there was absolutely not the fierceness and iron will of the Southern Incline army. 

On the other side, Lu Zhaoge looked grim. 

If Ye Qingyu was said to deeply understand the Southern Incline army, then Lu Zhaoge could be said to be the one who most understood the Southern Incline army of the Snow Ground Demon Court. 

The invasion that blotted out the sky and even triggered a turmoil in the weather was definitely not the usual combat operation of the Southern Incline army in the past decades.

For a moment, he was also somewhat perplexed. 

[Painting Saint] Liu Yuqing did not waste any time, and incessantly sent out signals in different directions.

In an instant, the Youyan army, like a strict and orderly war machine, began to operate methodically. More and more commanders and Generals in the city's major military camps darted away in a very swift manner towards the directions of the four main city gates. 

Outside the boundary of Youyan Pass. 

The first in the sky was the Flying Demon battle division who swept over like a huge, raging wave.

In the front were the flying demonic beast [Snow Ground Pig Bat] and [Black Crow of Misfortune] who Ye Qingyu had encountered before during his first battle in Youyan Pass. 

These two battle divisions were the cannon fodder force of the Southern Incline army.

It was just that these [Pig Bats] and [Black Crows of Misfortune] were several times larger than what Ye Qingyu had seen before.

Innumerable flying demons cut through the clouds and made bursts of mournful howls.

They continued to gather over Youyan Pass. 

The long, black spear in the hands of the [Pig Bats] and the black feather arrows of the [Black Crows of Misfortune] were cooperatively firing toward the dome over the boundary of Youyan Pass, like a sudden violent rainstorm. Countless raindrops pelted down the boundary, causing rippling lights on the boundary. 

At this time, on the ground outside the boundary, a number of differing demonic beasts were emitting a red or green bloodthirsty light from their eyes, frantically charging toward Youyan Pass.

These strange Demonic beasts were much stronger than ordinary demonic beasts. The majority of their body had been turned into human form, with only a small part of their body retaining some demonic beast appearance. 

There were dog-like cheetahs with steel needle-like fur, there were black demon wolves with steel knife-like fangs, as well as humanoid python beasts that were constantly spitting out dark red snake markings, and there were also giant snow bear demons native to the snowy area and giant snow ground dragons... 

What was strange was that these demon military divisions had not formed into any orderly military formation, but more like a swarm of violent demons that had lost their mind. 

The demonic beasts that came thick and fast frantically struck the formation protection boundary, and suffering from the constant impact, rune boundary of the whole ground across Youyan Pass quaked. They seemed to be driven by some special force, as though they were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to break through the boundary. 

The solid and stable protective boundary of Youyan Pass produced an ear-shattering roar as it took on the impact of the attacks from the demonic beasts in all directions.

On the city wall.  

Looking down from a height, the commanders and generals had an abrupt change in their expression.

But as soldiers in this extremely cold land, their will and heart, which had been hammered for years, have long deprived them of the instinct of fear and timidity. 

At this time, the soldiers and generals all erupted with strength, the weapon in their hand emitted a flickering light, standing in a ready and guarded stance. 

It was not clear to them when the attack of the demon battle division would stop. 

They were even less clear of when the last protective boundary would be broken through.

The only thing that they were certain of was that the moment the boundary was destroyed, they needed to charge to the front, and protect the Northern Stronghold of the Snow Empire, Youyan Pass.  

“This is not the usual military style of the Southern Incline... It's a little strange, it shouldn't be like that.” Lu Zhaoge drew a deep breath, placing both hands on the city wall, where there were fine cracks like the roots of an ancient tree. 

“Has the Southern Incline army gone crazy?” [Painting Saint] Liu Yuqing was similarly perplexed.

He fixed his eyes upon the demonic beasts that were constantly charging over and slamming into the boundary, incredibly puzzled. 

On the other side, the generals saw the demon corpses constantly piling up outside the walls and demons that were frantically rushing over in the distance even by trampling on their fellow demons, and were baffled.

As they say, to know one's own strength and the enemy's is the sure way to victory.

But in the past, the Demon Race had never been so frantic or mad.

What was going on with the Southern Incline army? 

Or what was going on with the Snow Ground Demon Court?

Beneath the city gate, all the higher levels of the Youyan army looked extremely grim. 

Once the defensive line was broken by the Demon Race, Youyan Pass will definitely suffer a disastrous damage. Even if the Youyan army passed the hurdle, the civilians and many facilities in the city would be greatly damaged, and it would take at least a few decades for it to truly recover. 

Boom boom boom!

A violent explosion spread wildly across the sky. The entire world seemed to be quaking.

Thousands of [Pig Bats] almost at the same time slammed into the protective boundary shield of Youyan Pass, blood splattered, and bones shot in all directions, as they were instantly crushed into minced flesh. In the midst of the mournful hiss, blood dyed the light shield. The saffron yellow protective shield was like the surface of a lake being lashed by torrential rain. Ripples flashed violently, issuing creaking and squeaking noises, as if they would shatter at any moment. 

There was also an unbelievable number of black crows similarly, as though they had gone berserk, suicidally striking the protective boundary. 

Youyan Pass had never encountered such a scene. 

Ye Qingyu gazed in the distance of the pass, breathing out a long sigh. 

He knew that he had to appear and make a move. 

The next moment, a vast and majestic consciousness power, like a surging tide, raged out of the Pass. 

This time, he deliberately did not hide the pressure of his consciousness power.

An extremely tyrannical aura like that of a Fiendgod from Ye Qingyu’s body pervaded the sky and earth.

A suffocating power appeared on the land of Heaven Wasteland Domain for the first time. 

This world and sky began to shudder uncontrollably. 

At the same time, as if a deity had erased all sounds from the world, the heaven and earth fell silent 

All the clamour, all the cries and howls, all the roars of the drums, and the ear-splitting voices of the demons, all disappeared at once. Even the [Snow Ground Pig Bats] and [Black Crows of Misfortune] that seemed to have lost their mind and were constantly bombarding the protective boundary, also in this moment, abruptly halted their crazy behaviour. 

They were all shaken by this power that did not belong to the human world. 

Like they were under the pressure of a divine power, all fury were like fleeting clouds, so small and insignificant that it could be ignored.

All demons, no matter where they were situated, and what their strength and weakness were, at this moment, in the face of such force, they felt they were as lowly as an ant, without the slightest power to resist. They stood there shuddering with fear, their fighting spirit dissipating.

Everywhere was silence. 

This scene was as though a supreme existence had emerged in the world of mortals. All living beings could only choose to surrender, choose to keep quiet, and choose to stand in reverence!

The figure of Ye Qingyu slowly floated up. 

Under countless shocking gazes, he came to the overhead of the city gate of Youyan Pass.

He was clothed in snowy white, his black hair fluttering in the breeze, and even his hair seemed to be glistening in the light. His figure, silhouetted against the light, made all Demon Race soldiers dare not to look down upon him. Where Ye Qingyu swept his eyes to, they were like two divine swords, able to see through the vast demon camp to the rear.  

“The Southern Incline army’s commander, Burning Snow, come out,” Ye Qingyu said aloud.

His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every living creature, with an indisputable majesty and power——
