"Sect Master Zhou!"
Emperor Jianyuan squinted his eyes, faintly annoyed as he looked into the distance at ’Picking Stars and Moon’ Zhou Zhi: "Since I ascended the throne, I have always respected your Star Constellation Immortal Sect. In thirty years, I have conferred titles seventeen times, with treatment second only to the Dutian Divine Palace.
This time, before my personal expedition, not only did I present generous gifts in advance, but also my soldiers under my command did not infringe on your sect. How dare you collude with the rebels, go to war without declaration, betray Daning, and become my enemy?"
The Star Constellation Immortal Sect arrived with the entire sect, with ninety thousand elite Martial Cultivators and seven thousand sorcerers joining the Iron Banner Gang’s navy.
This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the court. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The disciples sent by the Star Constellation Immortal Sect, even at worst, might have the status of Outer Disciples, with the cultivation of the Sixth Grade!
This force of ninety-seven thousand is truly equivalent to an army of two to three million.
Not to mention those First and Second Grade masters of the Star Constellation Immortal Sect.
They have the power to shake mountains and rivers, to move mountains and fill seas, often one person alone is enough to determine the direction of a local battlefield, an incredibly heavy weight.
If Emperor Jianyuan had no other preparations, he should be considering retreating from the South Bank of the Tianhuai River by now.
In this battle, the defeat of the Daning Navy is almost certain.
Under the full attack of the Star Constellation Immortal Sect, even if the Daning Navy was not completely annihilated, not many ships would be left.
Those civilian ships used for transporting troops, and the hundred thousand generals who have boarded the ships, most would be buried in the bellies of fish.
Of the two hundred eighty thousand troops at the court on the South Bank, I fear not many can safely withdraw back to the North Bank.
But Emperor Jianyuan was puzzled.
This is very unlikely.
’Picking Stars and Moon’ Zhou Zhi is a world-famous First Grade Master, his combat power is said to have reached the Super First Grade realm.
However, compared to his cultivation and strength, Zhou Zhi is more known for his extensive social interactions.
This person is adept at maneuvering, and while having excellent relations with the Formless Divine Sect, he also befriends each Divine Sect.
At one time, the Star Constellation Immortal Sect even played the role of a bridge between the court and the Formless Divine Sect.
How could such a person abruptly join the battle when the situation was not clear, even when the Iron Banner Gang was at a disadvantage?
Moreover, he put all his chips in at once!
Not to mention that the Star Constellation Immortal Sect’s cultivation, martial arts, and magic are all highly dependent on the Zhou Tian Stars, deeply influenced by the gods.
Yet Zhou Zhi showed no intention of acknowledging.
Except for the moment at the beginning, he never looked at Emperor Jianyuan directly again.
Even though Emperor Jianyuan’s words were as loud as thunder, precisely transmitted into his ears.
Zhou Zhi couldn’t be bothered to pay attention, he even slightly frowned with annoyance, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
He was looking around Emperor Jianyuan.
First, he concentrated his gaze on the mutant beast with a dragon head and dog body on Emperor Jianyuan’s chest, then he looked towards the armored guards on the Emperor’s left side.
Zhou Zhi’s eyes narrowed, then he slightly flicked his sleeve.
"Stellar Ocean * Star Flag Electric Spear!"
In an instant, the sky and earth changed!
If at this moment, someone stood above the thick fog looking into the distance in all directions,
they would find that the surrounding sky suddenly darkened.
Although it was still daylight, close to noon, many stars appeared in the sky.
Then the whole sky ’caved in’, bringing down the stars from above, falling into the mortal world!
The stars were magnified a hundredfold, and then numerous lightning bolts slashed down, crashing towards Emperor Jianyuan’s chariot.
The thunder initially was as thick as a thigh, quickly forming giant thunder pillars. The heavens and earth were enveloped in bright blue light, making all imperial guards dare not open their eyes.
Countless thunder liquid scattered in all directions, imposing and unstoppable, eradicating all evil forces there!
However, State Preceptor Yu Kunlun raised one hand to the heavens at this moment, holding up the entire sky.
Zhou Zhi’s strike of Star Flag Electric Spear’s divine might was unimaginably vast, almost equivalent to divine intervention!
But that was not entirely his own power.
The Star Constellation Immortal Sect is one of the most powerful sorcerer sects.
Yu Kunlun foresaw that behind Zhou Zhi, within the dense fog, there were at least three thousand, or even five thousand Star Mages assisting, as well as a massive Star Formation.
This shows that this sect and the Iron Banner Gang had been in collusion long ago.
State Preceptor Yu Kunlun was not alone either.
Behind him were a large number of court magicians assisting with spellcasting.
Behind the Central Army, in the camp behind the Dragon Chariot, there were twelve thousand magicians.
Some of them came from the Inner Palace, others were conscripted from various regions of the North and South.
Yu Kunlun himself also had a large-scale array altar, which cost billions to create, moving with Emperor Jianyuan’s Dragon Chariot.
Yu Kunlun’s Dream Technique covered fifty miles around, like an enormous umbrella, enveloping all imperial guard soldiers around Emperor Jianyuan within.
In the sheltered range of this sky-covering umbrella, most of the thunder was erased.
The imposing thunder liquid transformed into vaporized bubbles.
However, some thunder still crashed in, forcibly shattering his ’Dream Bubble Shadow’ Heavenly Gang Skill, manipulated by Zhou Zhi’s twisted will, headed towards the Iron Armor Imperial Guards on Emperor Jianyuan’s left.
At this moment, twelve golden-yellow giant dragons soared around the Dragon Chariot.
They circled and danced around the Dragon Chariot, forming a one-mile diameter golden-yellow light shield.
The dazzling blue thunder and the golden-yellow light shield contended for a moment, ultimately crushing and shattering it.
