Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The morning sun rose, the darkness receded, enveloping the entire world in golden sunlight.

Woo—

On a city platform on the northern city wall of Border City, a deep and resonant bugle sounded.

Its sound was heavy and desolate, echoing in the early morning sky and earth, resounding throughout the entire city, reaching outside the city, and echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

Rumble!

The city gate of the northern city slowly opened, tall and heavy as it was.

After the city gate opened, Anning, the Junzhu, in full military attire, riding a tall and strong Holy Spirit Steed, holding a steel-grey war spear that gleamed with cold light, gallantly charged out of the city.

Following her out of the city were the Border Army, neatly arranged in formation.

Cavalry, infantry, and archer formations, in ordered layers, charged out of the city gate, densely packed, like a steel torrent crushing the battlefield, stirring up the blood-soaked sand, causing the ground of the entire battlefield to tremble.

On the city wall, Ning Wang quietly watched the three armies of soldiers following Anning towards the mouth of the canyon. He felt somewhat nervous, and his hands behind his back involuntarily clenched into fists.

This was Ning'er's first time on the battlefield, and on such a large scale. She would be facing the mad charge of the Wuan elites, and there might even be assassins from the Seven Kill Tower lurking within.

In the past few days, more than a dozen assassins from the Seven Kill Tower were killed and captured. It is currently difficult to say whether there are still people from the Seven Kill Tower on the Wuan army's side.

Although he had already arranged for six half-step Overlord Saint realm experts in the army to secretly protect Ning'er, he still couldn't put his mind at ease.

"Don't worry about her safety. As long as I don't die, she won't die."

Jun Wuxie appeared beside Ning Wang, standing shoulder to shoulder with him as they looked towards the battlefield.

The horns of war continued to sound, heavy and desolate. The three armies of soldiers were full of momentum, their fighting spirit sweeping across the land.

They followed the woman in the lead, riding a warhorse, dressed in military attire, and rushing towards the mouth of the canyon with heroic spirit.

Ning Wang turned to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "This Wang knows that you will protect Ning'er, but the battlefield is unpredictable, and there may be assassins from the Seven Kill Tower lurking within. That day you saved Ning'er on the street and were injured by an assassin. Once on the battlefield, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight against four enemies with your bare hands, and it will be difficult to defend against."

"You're overthinking it," Jun Wuxie said lightly, "Did you really think that the assassin that day could hurt me?"

"What do you mean? Could it be that you did it on purpose?"

Ning Wang was uncertain and suspicious. It should be known that the assassin was in the Great Saint Realm, and only in that way could he stab Yue Wuxie with a sword. If Yue Wuxie deliberately let them stab him, then it would be too terrifying.

After all, he was only in the Saint King Realm, and had just entered the Saint King Realm, only at the early stage of the Lesser Celestial Position.

Even in the Mythical Domain, it was impossible to retreat unscathed when facing a trap set by a Great Saint Lesser Celestial Position assassin.

"If it's just an assassin in the Great Saint Lesser Celestial Position realm, they're just here to die. After this battle, you can prepare to negotiate with Wuan."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he stepped into the void and walked out of the city. With each step, brilliant crimson blood energy bloomed, causing the crystalline red light to illuminate the entire battlefield.

His pace was not fast, and his entire person felt different from what he usually looked like.

On the city wall, all the soldiers looked at his back, only feeling that he was even more stalwart than when he killed the Wuan army during the tribulation that day.

At this time, his back looked like an unshakable mountain, but that aura was like an unparalleled battle sword about to be unsheathed, about to display its unparalleled sharpness.

Ning Wang's lips trembled slightly as he looked at the stalwart, peerlessly sharp figure. Only then did he know what an aura was.

He couldn't believe how a young man in his twenties could do this, how could he possess such an invincible aura.

At this moment, the young man gave him the feeling of being like the backbone of heaven and earth, as if even if it collapsed, he could hold it up. No matter what kind of enemy was in front of him, he could block them.

"Jun Shen—"

Xu Yan condensed in her heart and murmured, looking at the figure walking towards the mouth of the canyon, with crimson blood illuminating the mountains and rivers with blurred eyes.

At this moment, the scene of him walking alone towards the Dark Continent in the Lower Realm appeared in her mind again.

It was this kind of aura, this kind of indomitable, invincible momentum!

She saw the shock in Ning Wang's eyes and the eyes of all the soldiers, and couldn't help but feel proud.

That was the man she had silently loved for many years, and now he was slowly accepting her.

That man possessed an aura that others could not compare with, because he was the master of a universe, an invincible powerhouse in the Lower Realm. He had once faced the dark world alone, and had killed until the darkness was extinguished.

His courage, his spirit, his fighting will, were unmatched in the world!

…

At this time, Jun Wuxie had already passed the army and Anning, and landed at the mouth of the canyon.

He just stood there, his body as tall as a mountain, facing the long canyon.

The wind at the mouth of the canyon was very strong, blowing against his face, blowing up his moon-white sword robe, blowing up his thick black hair, dancing wildly in the wind.

Riding on the running Holy Spirit Steed, Anning's mind was somewhat dazed.

That man's figure was as stalwart as the Hengduan Mountains, firmly imprinted in her heart.

It was as if as long as he stood there, he could block the Wuan army from attacking.

The three armies behind her were also shocked.

That Young Master Yue, who had repelled the Wuan army during the tribulation, was here again.

He stood at the mouth of the canyon, his crimson crystal blood energy like a boiling ocean, and the scarlet blood light illuminated the entire canyon into a blood color. The light soared into the sky, forming a huge crimson light pillar.

That blood energy was so strong and vast, giving people a sense of oppression even from a distance.

On the city wall, Xu Yan's eyes were somewhat moist.

At this moment, Jun Shen standing at the mouth of the canyon made her see his loneliness back then. Thinking of those scenes, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.

At the same time, on a tall building in Border City, a pair of eyes filled with resentment were staring at the battlefield.

His gaze constantly alternated between Anning, the Junzhu, and Jun Wuxie. His originally handsome features were twisted terribly at this moment, and his entire person was filled with baleful aura.

"Adulterer and adulteress, may you die a horrible death!"

Qin Yi gritted his teeth, his face twisted somewhat ferociously. Coupled with his sinister and resentful gaze, his entire person was like a soul-reaping ghost.

…

At the mouth of the canyon, Anning led the three armies of soldiers to the planned combat area.

The position they were in was about a thousand meters away from the mouth of the canyon. This distance allowed them to instantly complete the highest intensity charge.

Whether it was for cavalry or infantry, it was an excellent charging distance.

This arrangement was all Jun Wuxie's idea, only others didn't know it.

Back then, in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Anning suddenly spoke about the war layout because he secretly asked her to say so.

Intercepting the Wuan army at the mouth of the canyon was also what he told Anning.

Because apart from him daring to think so, in the current situation where there were only more than one million Border Army with complete combat capabilities, no one dared to think so.

Blocking at the mouth of the canyon meant abandoning the solid city defenses and using the special geographical advantages here to block the Wuan army.

Although it could cause the Wuan army to suffer casualties quickly, the Border Army's own casualty rate would also increase. Even if the battle damage ratio had an advantage, the Border Army's numbers were too small compared to the Wuan army, and they couldn't afford it at all.

Rumble!

A vast momentum was transmitted through the canyon.

The canyon, which was more than a hundred meters wide, was only a few miles long, but that didn't mean that the gap in the mountain range was only a few miles.

The entire gap in the mountain range was hundreds of miles long, forming a canyon that was hundreds of miles long, but apart from the section inside that was a few miles long and only a hundred meters wide, the rest of the canyon was tens of miles wide.

This was still the narrowest and smallest area of the Hengduan Mountain branch range, which was why there was such a gap. If it were to be replaced with other areas of the Hengduan Mountains, that width would have to be hundreds of thousands of miles, or at least hundreds of thousands of miles.

The momentum coming from the canyon indicated that the Wuan army was advancing towards here, and they were launching an attack.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Now the entire Border City knew that the Wuan reinforcements had arrived, their army numbered in the millions, and they were continuing to increase their troops.

The Border Army only had more than one million soldiers, but they had to leave the city and block them at the mouth of the canyon to fight a war of attrition. It was a very unwise choice.

"Soldiers!" Anning, the Junzhu, felt the tense atmosphere of the three armies, and also felt this heaviness. She turned her horse around and said loudly: "The Wuan army is about to come. This Junzhu knows that you are nervous, and knows even more that your nervousness is not because you are afraid, but because you are worried that our losses will be too great, bringing heavy pressure to the defense of Border City in the future!"

"The Border Army men are brave and good at fighting. They are the heroes of Dagan, the mighty division, the victorious division, the undefeated division! The Wuan elites are very strong, but this Junzhu believes that you are stronger!"

"What are they fighting for? They are far away from their homeland, leaving their wives, children, and elders, coming to our Dagan border to launch a war, engaging in aggression, fighting for selfish desires!"

"What are we fighting for? We are fighting because our territory has been invaded, we are fighting to defend our mountains and rivers! These mountains and rivers have nurtured us for generations. To this day, our relatives, the parents, wives, sons, and daughters of all the soldiers, still live in this beautiful land!"

"For them to have smiles on their faces, for them to have a stable living environment, for their lives not to be trampled on and slaughtered, generation after generation, so many passionate men have rushed to the border, joined the army, and dedicated their lives to the border defense, dedicated their lives to the mountains and rivers!"

"Now, the Wuan army is trying to trample our beautiful mountains and rivers, trying to break our homes, depriving your parents, wives, and children of their good lives, trying to ignite the flames of war on the mainland of our Dagan, causing our country to be destroyed and our families to be destroyed, and our mountains and rivers to be filled with smoke! This Junzhu will never agree, will you agree?"

"We will not agree!"

"We will not agree!"

The three armies of soldiers listened, and the anger in their bodies burned.

Behind them was the territory, the mountains and rivers that raised them and their parents, and the wives and children they wanted to protect.

If the mountains and rivers are shattered, everything will be shattered.

The kind faces of parents, the gentle smiles of wives, the innocence on children's faces, will all turn into fear and tears, into streaks of vivid blood.

"Kill the Wu'an back, defend our homes and country!"

"Kill the Wu'an back, defend our homes and country!"

… …

The sound of the army shook the clouds, and the sound waves of millions of people impacted the mountains, causing them to tremble, and the earth to shake.

The momentum soared to the sky, and the fighting spirit was boiling.

Morale has never been higher!

Jun Wuxie looked back and revealed a look of appreciation.

Anning grasped the soldiers' most simple mentality, responsibility, and honor in joining the army! It stimulated every inch of their blood and ignited all their fighting spirit.

Rumble!

The roar inside the canyon grew closer and closer, the momentum was huge, it was the sound of countless hooves and feet stepping on the ground, as well as the friction of metal armor and weapons.

From a distance, in a certain area of the canyon, dust rolled up into the sky, forming a sandstorm-like scene, covering the sky and the sun.

Before long, the figures of the Wu'an army appeared in sight.

At the forefront were the Wu'an cavalry. Each Wu'an cavalryman was shrouded in iron armor, and the sacred spirit steeds beneath them were also covered in armor, only revealing their eyes and hooves.

The Wu'an cavalry saw Jun Wuxie standing at the entrance of the canyon, and they also saw the densely packed Da Gan border troops behind the entrance, forming a steel city wall.

The cavalry commander's eyes revealed a strange color, and he gestured for the cavalry to stop temporarily.

Although the scouts had already detected the movements of the Da Gan border army, seeing it with their own eyes at this time still shocked the Wu'an generals and even made them unable to understand.

They have tens of millions of troops, millions of elites!

The Da Gan border army only has a little over a million, plus the wounded who have not yet recovered, the number is just over two million.

Now, they are going out of the city to block here, using the geographical environment, although they can gain battlefield advantages, but the natural casualties will not be small, belonging to killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of their own.

With such consumption, the number of the Da Gan border army will soon be unsustainable.

There is also that youth who once killed millions of their soldiers while transcending tribulation.

He just finished transcending the Holy King Tribulation some time ago, and it is impossible to transcend tribulation again now.

With his cultivation in the Holy King Realm, he actually stood straight at the entrance of the canyon, at the forefront of the millions of Da Gan border troops, which is truly arrogant!

"Yue Wuxie!"

The cavalry commander sat on his horse, his whole body wrapped in rune armor, only revealing two cold, murderous eyes.

"That day you used the Heavenly Tribulation to kill millions of my Wu'an army, and today you dare to stand here! This general wants to know, without the Heavenly Tribulation, what will you use to fight against my Wu'an rune armor army!"

"You'll know when you try."

Jun Wuxie carried his hands on his back, his eyes deep and cold, staring directly at the Wu'an cavalry commander.

Although separated by thousands of meters, the cavalry commander, who was at the Great Saint Extreme Heaven Realm, felt a strange chill.

The youth named Yue Wuxie stood there alone, and for some reason, he had an unshakable aura, which shocked him and made him feel incredible.

A Holy King, how could he have such an aura?

"Don't be so arrogant!"

Although the cavalry commander was very angry and had an extremely strong killing intent in his heart, he was also wary and did not dare to be careless. He immediately turned his horse and went back to see the commander.

In view of the last time that Yue Wuxie used the Heavenly Tribulation, causing them to lose millions of soldiers and suffer huge losses.

This time, that person is standing at the entrance of the canyon again, not knowing what other trump cards he has.

The cavalry commander did not dare to make his own decision and had to ask the commander for his opinion.

The commander is no longer the former Bahru, but a burly and strong man with thick eyebrows and copper bell-like eyes.

"Respected Commander Ashina Zan, the Da Gan border army has built a steel defense at a thousand meters from the entrance of the canyon, and that Yue Wuxie is standing alone at the entrance of the canyon, seemingly waiting for my Wu'an army… …"

The cavalry commander explained the situation in detail, and did not retain his suspicions, etc.

Bahru was demoted to deputy commander due to the serious defeat in the last battle. The position of commander was taken over by Ashina Zan, a prince of the Wu'an royal family who had extremely high prestige in the army.

"Nonsense! Are you frightened by the Da Gan people? A little boy in the Holy King Realm. Even if he is not, even if he is the legendary myth, he is just an ant in front of my Wu'an rune armor army! In this world, since ancient times, no Holy King Realm has been able to fight against the rune armor army. Even a half-step Tyrant Saint would have difficulty protecting himself in this kind of battlefield if he did not retreat! Now, immediately order the cavalry to go up and test it out. Once it is confirmed that there is no fraud, launch a full attack! Since they dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, then we will consume these million border troops, and the time to break the city will be just around the corner!"

Ashina Zan gave the order with a cold face.

It is unacceptable and simply absurd that the dignified three million Wu'an army was frightened by the enemy before the war even started.
