Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1243 - 327: Prelude to War, No Sense of Accomplishment (2)
At the forefront of the legion, twelve Six-winged Holy Statues slowly unfolded their light feathers. As the wings stretched, holy hymns reverberated through the heavens and earth, the sound waves spreading out as if tangible.
A line of text swiftly appeared on the Rulebook: "For extreme yin entities, use extreme yang to suppress them."
At these words, the Holy Legion roared in unison, their battle formation advancing like a torrent, standing ready at the edge of the domain.
Based on the perception of the life aura of the Mingwu Clan, Shuyan chose a legion to counteract the extreme yin power, preparing for the imminent cross-world war.
At this moment, the entire Shuyan Domain had transformed into the materialized barrier from the novel "Demon Destruction," where warriors, weapons, and holy sites emerging with golden light all had special attributes targeting extreme yin beings.
The birth of the inspiration world gave Shuyan countless stories.
Each page of the Rulebook carried a legion system that could be rapidly switched by turning the pages.
Initially only barely able to contend with the Ascension Clan, Shuyan today had grown to new heights.
If not for the arrival of the Mingwu Clan, the Ascension Clan's defeat was already certain.
Now, Shuyan seemed like a librarian standing on the history books of war.
Turning a page easily, it was like the thunder of civilization's cycle, birthing a new era in the still-drying ink of the past one.
The thousands of troops and vast oceans of stars frozen within the words quickly transformed into a palpable storm sweeping through the domain in the breeze of page-turning.
It's been the same in past wars with the Ascension Clan.
Every tremor of the pages felt like the universe's restart.
In the previous story, the hero wielding a sword still held the shadow of his charge, while the next page saw the mecha legion breaking free from the freshly inked narrative.
The civilizations imprisoned in words performed brilliant chapters on the stage that Shuyan created with pen and book, linking together legendary tales as grand epics.
The binding of the Rulebook served as the crevasse between parallel worlds.
Now, faced with the invasion of the Mingwu Clan, stronger than the Ascension Clan, Shuyan felt no fear, only ascending war intent.
Since the day it gained consciousness, it had been the Heavenly Dao of the Small World, governing the cycle of all things.
With one thought, it could burn the heavens, with another, overturn the seas.
Yet it was ultimately only the Heavenly Dao of the Small World.
Choosing to come here, the goal was to become the Heavenly Dao of the Monster World, once again standing above countless races.
Once a Heavenly Dao, always a Heavenly Dao.
Faced with the Mingwu Clan's invasion, both Ascension Clan and Shuyan were ready to confront the impact head-on.
The confrontation between the three forces was about to unfold.
In the shadows, Qi Sheng, seeing the great battle about to commence, reckoned that the Ascension Clan and Shuyan would surely hold their territories, each contending with the Mingwu Clan's onslaught in different regions.
During this time, the two forces avoided conflict with each other.
This was not an alliance but the wisest choice when facing a formidable foe.
They would bear the pressure from the Mingwu Clan on different fronts.
The first round of probing clash among the three forces began with the Mingwu Clan's vanguard attacking the Ascension Island, along with the opening of the Shuyan Domain.
Guidance's data information immediately flashed in Qi Sheng's mind.
Among these forces, the most complete legion system belonged to Shuyan. Its Rulebook was like a repository of frozen civilization embryos.
It could switch legion systems at will, optimizing military strength.
On the level of warfare systems, however, the Mingwu Clan completely dominated both the Ascension Clan and Shuyan.
Because the Mingwu Clan had also mastered the mode of gathering strength for combat, where their warriors could explode with terrifying combat power through energy-linked resonance.
Neither side deployed Demigod Realm combat power, but in the clash of the vanguard, the Mingwu Clan still held the advantage against both.
Ascension Sea frontline.
Hundreds of thousands of Mingwu Warriors formed a hexagonal array on the sea surface, the spacing between each unit arranged with a special array.
When the elemental torrent of the Ascension Clan's army struck the formation, all warriors acted simultaneously.
The elemental torrent was instantly distributed across the entangled network constructed by the interconnected Mingwu.
The torrent, which should have vaporized vast swathes of Mingwu Warriors in an instant, was decomposed into millions of minuscule damage parts, causing only slight ripples on the bodies of all Mingwu warriors.
As the battle formation rotated, the Mingwu Commander at the center waved a banner.
The entire legion instantly transformed into a resonant cavity, reforming the dispersed energy into a Mingwu Spiral Cannon, crashing heavily onto the Ascension Island.
The elemental torrent barriers, the pride of the Ascension Clan, shattered layer by layer like glass under this attack powered by a million Mingwu warriors.
This strike instantly forced the Ascension Clan's top warriors to join the battle.
Shuyan Domain frontline.
The Holy Legion showered the Mingwu Army with light spears like torrential rain.
As Shuyan anticipated, the life structure settings of the Holy Legion had a feature that countered the corpse of the dead trait of the Mingwu Clan.
But the aid from this counteraction was extremely weak.
The Mingwu Clan warriors bolstered by the Rule of Death were, in essence, not undead system life but rule system life.
It could only counter the extreme yin attribute that the Mingwu Clan naturally possessed but had no effect on suppressing the corpse of the dead.
Whenever a Mingwu warrior was pierced by holy light, their dissipating death energy would be immediately absorbed by companions behind, and their life would enter the death words reconstruction phase, dispersing as black mist over the battlefield.
Every death of a Mingwu Clan warrior would slightly enhance the power of the other warriors.
This was precisely the amplification brought by the Mingwu Rules.
Turning the fallen warriors into new energy nodes made the living warriors increasingly fervent.
