Within the central warship of the fleet, a black silhouette slowly emerged.
Upon seeing her, Di Sheng Tian was so shocked he nearly knelt on the ground.
"It’s her? It’s actually her?"
Di Sheng Tian’s words were full of disbelief.
The elders and strong ones from major sects gazed at this figure, faces full of horror, as if they had just encountered the most terrifying event of their lives!
"The leader of the Divine-Annihilating Army is a woman?"
Seeing that breathtaking, world-stunning silhouette, the experts at Imperial Heaven Pass were all stunned.
No one expected that such a powerful force like the Divine-Annihilating Army would be led by a woman!
"Forefather, do you know this woman?"
Di Longxuan couldn’t help but ask.
The younger generation naturally didn’t recognize her and looked curiously at Di Sheng Tian.
Di Sheng Tian gazed at the horizon and sighed, "Perhaps you do not know, she is the Ancient Warden who suppressed the world a thousand years ago."
"What? The Ancient Warden? Why is she here? This is... this is..."
Though unfamiliar with her, the younger ones had heard bits of the Ancient Warden legend.
Upon hearing the Ancient Warden herself had descended, they were almost scared to collapse.
"Forefather, could this be a fake Ancient Warden? Didn’t the Ancient Warden already fall? How could she appear again? And I feel this Ancient Warden seems to exude an eerie aura, unlike the real one."
Di Longyun expressed doubts.
Di Sheng Tian shook his head, "At first, I thought the same, but I can feel her power is clearly stronger than ours! At least Heavenly Immortal Seventh Transformations, maybe even Eighth or Ninth."
"What? Heavenly Immortal Seventh or Eighth Transformations cultivation? Isn’t it said that with the current missing world laws, even reaching Heavenly Immortal Seventh Transformations is nearly impossible? How can such a Heaven-defying existence at Eighth Transformations appear?"
Di Longxin was aghast, full of disbelief.
Di Sheng Tian nodded, "So that’s what astonished me. She’s not the Ancient Warden, yet resembles the Ancient Warden. Particularly, she genuinely emits the aura of the Ancient Warden, which leaves me even more uncertain!"
Di Sheng Tian, having lived a thousand years ago, naturally knew a little about the Ancient Warden.
"But whether you truly are the Ancient Warden or not, you will not pass through this Heavenly Emperor’s Gate."
A cold glint flashed in Di Sheng Tian’s eyes.
He turned to the others and said, "There is no way we can defeat the Divine-Annihilating Army! Our best strategy is to delay them so they cannot cross the Imperial Heaven Pass. We must buy time for the Immortal Sect to devise a solution."
"Understood!"
Immediately, the remaining forty-four Heavenly Immortals stood together.
"I need each of you to assist me in controlling the Nine Dragons Imperial Heaven Formation to confront the Ancient Warden!"
Di Sheng Tian declared.
And the matter of the Ancient Warden appearing within the Divine-Annihilating Army rapidly spread across the Heavenly Sect World, causing waves of panic.
Especially among the Western Region people, seeing the Ancient Warden, revered as deities, now marching to obliterate them left everyone bewildered.
"We must quickly think of a solution. It’s heard that the Divine-Annihilating Army not only harbors strong figures like the Ancient Warden but has secret weapons that can allegedly shatter the Imperial Heaven Pass instantly."
Within the Immortal Sect, there was great urgency.
They observed the battle while trying to devise a solution.
...
Imperial Heaven Pass.
Di Sheng Tian personally controlled the Nine Dragons Imperial Heaven Formation to confront the Ancient Warden.
"..."
Roars of dragons echoed in the sky, seemingly traversing through the ages. Shadows of nine divine dragons twisted and danced mid-air, exuding an aura of dominance over all, chilling the hearts of all who sensed it.
The Nine Dragons Imperial Heaven Formation activated, its might shaking the heavens.
Under its great power, the alien army fell by the tens of thousands once more.
The fleet in the sky was even forcefully pushed back a hundred meters; had it not been for the Heavenly Net System’s protection, the fleet would have been destroyed with a single blow.
The nine commanding gods of the Divine-Annihilating Army knelt on the ground, shouting in unison, "We beseech the Master of Divine Annihilation to take action!"
The Ancient Warden remained silent, taking a single step into the void.
She slowly extended her fair right hand, casually grabbed the air, causing the void to tremble, as if the heavens and earth were tearing apart. A black hole emerged from the void’s depths, visible to the naked eye, seemingly housing an infinite void with untold, terrifying power.
"Is this truly the Ancient Warden?"
Di Sheng Tian was stupefied.
"Rumors said the Ancient Warden could harness forces from worlds beyond; this is truly her!"
The other elders trembled in fear.
The moment the Ancient Warden grasped with her right hand, a peculiar force surged from that endless black hole.
Instantly, the world turned dark, waves of Taiyin energy hanging in the air, rapidly spreading.
And the Ancient Warden wielded the Power of Taiyin in her hand.
"Hiss!"
"The legendary Power of Taiyin!"
Di Sheng Tian and his group felt an irresistible fear.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the Ancient Warden struck the Nine Dragons Imperial Heaven Formation.
That instant felt like a massive clash of heavens and earth, the world on the verge of tearing apart, a force so immense it defied words to describe.
Under the Ancient Warden’s strike, the arrays of laws surrounding the formation shattered, entirely ineffective.
The entire Imperial Heaven Pass trembled, as mountains, structures used in the formation’s design, developed cracks.
"We underestimated her; she’s at least Heavenly Immortal Eighth Transformations, when I expected her at Seventh."
Di Sheng Tian panicked.
"Hold on, everyone! I’m preparing the formation’s strongest attack to see if we can injure her! This is our last chance!"
Di Sheng Tian realized that defense was untenable, hence, a risky offensive was the only path forward.
Simultaneously, Imperial Heaven Pass advised other experts to retreat quickly towards the Central Region.
In essence, Di Sheng Tian and the others were merely buying time.
"A thousand years ago, I was a junior to the Ancient Warden, but today I’ll show her this junior is no pushover!"
Di Sheng Tian began burning a Secret Technique to elevate the formation’s momentum.
The others followed suit, enhancing the formation’s power.
Ultimately, the formation reached its peak.
The dragon shadows, formed by the nine Tianlong generals, amalgamated into one, with the force to annihilate the cosmos, directly striking at the Ancient Warden.
"It must succeed!"
The Immortal Sect reinforcements prayed fervently.
"Bang!"
This strike thundered and exploded across the heavens, realms shattered, the divine dragon’s shadow colliding with the Ancient Warden.
However, in the next moment, a wave emanated from the Ancient Warden, not only slicing through the dragon shadow but blasting the formation.
"Crack!"
Instantly, the Nine Dragons Imperial Heaven Formation was destroyed.
Imperial Heaven Pass fell.
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
Di Sheng Tian and the other mighty experts were all heavily injured.
The Ancient Warden’s strike was terrifying beyond measure!
"Kill!"
The next moment, the fleet charged Imperial Heaven Pass, while below, hundreds of thousands of alien troops assaulted with full force.
In less than ten minutes, Imperial Heaven Pass was lost.
The remaining individuals all retreated to the Central Region.
The Ancient Warden took one last look into the distance and then turned to enter the battleship.
"Advance! Attack the Central Region!"
The nine War Generals led the charge at the forefront, ceaselessly heading toward the Central Region.
This news quickly reached the Immortal Sect.
If a stronghold like Imperial Heaven Pass had fallen, could they hold their ground?
And in such a short time, they couldn’t devise a strategy to counter the Ancient Warden or the Divine-Annihilating Army’s mysterious weapon!
"We can only first employ every means at the Immortal Sect for protection!"
"Then enter the Forbidden Land within the Heavenly Tower to find ways to cope."
"Moreover, it’s time to awaken the slumbering elders."
Currently, Wang Yuan and Jiang Kunlun were in charge of the Immortal Sect, directing everything with their command.
All the defenses in the Central Region contracted to Cloud Sea City, and a sense of panic spread within.
Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the Divine-Annihilating Army.
No one knew if tomorrow would bring darkness...
