“Ah!”

Screams broke out as the surprised men in black were punched through by ballista bolts and blasted back.

In a few short moments, several thousand men in black had been punched through by ballista bolts.

But these losses had less of an effect on the men in black than had been envisioned.

“Careful!”

“Watch out for the ballista bolts!”

As sharp cries rang out, the men in black swiftly began to dodge.

At this moment, the men in black showed how they differed from ordinary soldiers.

The men in black could sense the ballista bolts before they arrived, and their bodies twisted like snakes in the air to dodge them. For every ten ballista bolts fired, more than five would miss.

This was the first time something like this had ever happened since the establishment of the ballista army.

But whether it was Su Hanshan, Young Master Qingyang, or Bahram, none of them was surprised. These men in black were fundamentally different from soldiers. The methods used against soldiers were naturally of limited effectiveness on them.

Everyone instinctively turned in one direction. At this moment, an army exuding a dark and gloomy energy, like it was engulfed in shadows, began to rapidly make its way to the front line.

The Shadow Dragons!

This division had been founded purely to deal with the men in black.

The men in black were limited in number, but so long as they existed, any point on the battlefield could be broken at any time.

“Brother Luo, let’s move out!” Righteous Alliance Lord Song Yuanyi said, waving his sleeve.

“Mm.”

The Black Yin Ancestor nodded. A moment later, the martial arts experts left the ranks and flew into the air.

The battle had only begun, but their presence was already required. This was something they had not expected, but even so, they had no complaints.

If they didn’t succeed, they would at least die for a good cause. If they didn’t defeat the Celestial God Organization here, everyone would die!

In the distance, Essence Supreme and the others swept their gazes over the battlefield. They saw the Xuanwu Army mobilize, saw the ballista army launch its barrages, and they saw the Shadow Dragon Division and martial artists move out. But all three Supremes were completely unperturbed.

Essence Supreme swung his arm down and swiftly ordered, “Mobilize all soldiers. While the Child of Destruction isn’t here, wipe out the human army as quickly as possible!”

When it came to soldier versus soldier and general versus general, the only person he truly cared about and feared on this battlefield was that Child of Prophecy. Now that Wang Chong wasn’t here, they had to make good use of this chance.

Regardless of how the battle between Wang Chong and Heaven turned out, they had to use this chance to end the human army so that the Purification plan could be completed as soon as possible. Once everything was settled, nothing Wang Chong could do would be able to avert the world’s fate.

Moreover, if they could end the battle early, they could go and help Heaven deal with that Child of Prophecy!

Bang!

Essence Supreme immediately sent out a torrent of Psychic Energy like blazing flames, swiftly connecting him to the soldiers of the Celestial Army.

A golden divine character, as bright as the moon, appeared on the center of Essence Supreme’s forehead.

This was the brand Heaven had left for him to control the Celestial Army.

Over a long period of time, Essence Supreme had used his own means to obtain Heaven’s trust. Other than the battle with Wang Chong, Heaven had entrusted almost everything else to Essence Supreme.

Bang!

Following Essence Supreme’s will, stairs appeared in the air, and the vast Celestial Army poured down these stairs, landing on the ground so that they could continue their charge at the human army.

The Celestial God Organization had far more than just two hundred thousand men in black. The multitudes of the Celestial Army were what the Celestial God Organization was truly counting on to purge the entire continent.

If Wang Chong believed that the massive spatial sealing information was enough to deal with the Celestial Army, then he was being too naive. Whether on the ground or in the air, the Celestial Army was an extremely powerful fighting force. This was the same no matter what position they occupied.

“Raaaa!!”

“Blasphemers, die!”

For several thousand li between east and west, the millions of Celestial Army soldiers landed on the ground and rumbled forth. The earth groaned as if it was unable to take the pressure and on the verge of collapse as the Celestial Army soldiers bellowed and charged at the human army.

These soldiers were overflowing with golden light. Whether it was speed, strength, agility, or their armor and weapons, they were all supreme existences, far above those of any human army.

They were even taller than the human soldiers.

Each Celestial Army soldier was tall and muscular, a full head taller than their human opponents.

As the Celestial Army soldiers roared and charged, the situation swiftly turned against the human army, the mood tensing.

“Ready!”

Resounding cries erupted across the battlefield. The human soldiers nervously gripped their weapons and stared at their foes, their muscles tensed to the maximum.

Bang!

A few moments later, the Celestial Army impacted against the Tang defense line. At the same time, a buzzing erupted across the steel defense line as the countless beehives began to unleash an unimaginable number of arrows.

……

Meanwhile, in another dimension, Wang Chong and Heaven were constantly leaping through the depths of spacetime, getting farther and farther away from the Turkic steppe. In the sea of spacetime, the slightest misstep could cause one to become lost and forever be imprisoned in parallel dimensions.

A small error in Wang Chong’s understanding of spacetime laws could lead him to easily lose track of Heaven.

In this environment, whether Heaven chose to suddenly return to the battlefield or hide for an ambush, it would be extremely unfavorable to Wang Chong.

However, Wang Chong remained nimble and fast throughout the pursuit. No matter how many dimensions Heaven leaped through, how he attempted to hide himself, or how complex were the spacetime laws he employed, Wang Chong was able to keep up, never losing his target.

The twists and turns of this chase and pursuit through spacetime were unfathomable, enough to leave any Grotto Heaven realm expert aghast.

This brief pursuit was enough for Heaven to understand that Wang Chong was not what he used to be. His understanding of the laws of the world was essentially on par with his.

After some time, Heaven suddenly stopped. Amidst the infinity of spacetime, Heaven turned his head and looked at Wang Chong.

“I did not think that you would reach this stage in only three years!”

Wang Chong seemed to not hear, and bluntly asked, “Where is Xu Qiqin? Hand her over! Don’t you consider yourself the Celestial Emperor? I did not think that you would resort to such lowly tricks!”

“Haha, if you want to save her, do it yourself—take her from me! I’m sure you understand a simple principle like this. A man who wishes to accomplish great things must make a few sacrifices. It’s only a human woman. So long as I can reach my goal, I can even sacrifice a few more!”

Heaven was not at all ashamed.

“Bastard!

Wang Chong’s veins bulged, and his eyes turned ice-cold.

Bang!

Wang Chong shot forward, his body becoming like a wisp of smoke. When he next appeared, he was behind Heaven, emerging directly from a crystalline dimensional wall.

Bang!

Wang Chong hadn’t even moved his hand, but a hazy beam of Sword Qi was already slicing at Heaven’s head.

Intent before thought!

Wang Chong hadn’t even thought about attacking yet, but his body had already predicted his actions and attacked. This was Wang Chong’s current level of strength.

Not only that, the same God Demon Obliteration Sword Qi was more than ten times stronger than normal. As the Sword Qi swept across, it obliterated numerous parallel dimensions.

If this attack were to hit Heaven, even Heaven’s physical body would be ground to powder.

“Hahaha, an attack like this can’t defeat me!”

Heaven’s laughter came from all sides. Wang Chong was fast, but Heaven was even faster. That God Demon Obliteration Sword Qi was still several inches away when Heaven vanished like an illusion.

“You are too naive. All of the world’s civilizations were seeded by me, and all their arts were passed down from me. No one understands these ultimate techniques more than I do!” Heaven mocked.

Wang Chong could use these techniques on others, but in front of him, they were just minor skills.

But Wang Chong interrupted him before he could finish.

Wang Chong blinked away, instantly appearing at where Heaven had last been, his right hand opening up at an empty point in space, at which point the void trembled.

A moment later, the inconceivable happened. Centered on Wang Chong, an invisible energy above that of Grotto Heaven laws erupted from Wang Chong’s body and spread through the void.

At this moment, the power of time within this void was thrown into disarray.

In front of Wang Chong, several faint and blurry wisps of smoke appeared. They gradually grew more distinct, turning into a black silhouette. In the end, they directly revealed Heaven’s figure.

Heaven was shocked at first, apparently surprised that Wang Chong would be powerful enough to force him out of the depths of the void.

But at that moment, a hazy beam of Sword Qi swiftly slashed at Heaven.

“Haha, as expected! You’ve even grasped control over the power of time!”

Heaven seemed unperturbed at Wang Chong’s approaching Sword Qi. Not only was he unpanicked, he even laughed.

“With these moves, you can already match Li Taiyi. Alas, half-step Divine Martial is still not Divine Martial. You are still a little lacking!”

Heaven’s voice resounded through the void. In normal circumstances, given Wang Chong’s cultivation, the strengthened God Demon Obliteration Sword Qi should have had enough time to hit Heaven ten times in the time he had spent speaking. But for some reason, as Heaven spoke, time and sense within the entire region fell into turmoil. It seemed like ordinary laws could not bind Heaven in any way.

And as Heaven spoke, he opened his right hand and slapped in the direction of Wang Chong!
