Boom! Rumble!

Dozens of breaths later, billions of Archimmortal, Archdeity, and Archeldritch troops surged forward like a vast tide, colliding head-on along the three battle lanes like six apocalyptic waves.

The central battlefield clashed first, followed closely by the left and right battlefields.

The great battle had truly begun.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless dazzling blade rays, sword lights, and spear lights blossomed forth, all from battle arrays that excelled at close combat and charged at the forefront.

"Water-Fire Elemental Fusion!"

"Celestial Azure Light!"

"Spatial Binding!"

"Dragon-Phoenix Strike!"

"Nine Heavens Sword Attack!" A barrage of powerful arcane arts shot forth from both sides, erupting from the battle arrays formed by Archimmortals.

These arcane arts were devastatingly powerful, collapsing the heavens and shattering the earth.

Archeldritches and Archdeities were all body refiners, and their formations granted them terrifying defensive power. But even they would surely perish if subjected to concentrated fire from numerous ranged arcane arts.

In an instant, blood sprayed and battle arrays crumbled as countless Archimmortals, Archdeities, and Archeldritches began to fall. There were innumerable casualties, and a sea of artifacts lay scattered about.

"Kill!"

Boom~ Boom!

Of course, the most eye-catching arrays on the entire battlefield were those apex battle arrays.

They could unleash power on par with Astral Monarchs, casually destroying ordinary arrays and slaughtering vast numbers of Archimmortals, Archdeities, and Archeldritches with a single strike.

Even when faced with concentrated fire from dozens of arrays, they could withstand the assault.

The battlefield's scope was limited, so it was impossible for hundreds or thousands of arrays to focus on a single powerhouse simultaneously.

As expected of a decisive battle. Once a battle array collapses, even late-stage Astral Lord powerhouses would perish.

Wu Yuan's eyes gleamed.

Truly a meat grinder.

𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Though the fighting was distant, he saw it clearly.

Chaos! Brutality! Bloodshed.

However, neither Nan Yin and the others, nor the Immortal Court's geniuses, have made their move yet.

Wu Yuan's gaze swept across the battlefield.

The peerless geniuses of both factions were still waiting for the right moment. The decisive battle had, after all, only just begun.

Currently, the situation on all three battle lanes was relatively stable. In other words, if a genius were to erupt into action, either side's army could swiftly mobilize numerous battle arrays for concentrated long-range attacks. ṞÀ₦ỐBĘＳ

But as the battle raged on and the situation became increasingly chaotic, with both armies intermingling, coordinating large-scale attacks on a single point would become increasingly difficult.

The peerless geniuses were waiting precisely for such chaos.

Even Wu Yuan would need to be cautious if subjected to targeted attacks from numerous battle arrays.

On the other hand, these peerless geniuses were also secretly observing the enemy's apex battle arrays, searching for weaknesses.

Take Wu Yuan for example. He observed and analyzed the opponents, his mind racing with hundreds of millions of thoughts, considering how to destroy the apex arrays in the shortest time once he made his move.

Time passed.

The two sides slaughtered each other mercilessly, and even some apex arrays began to fall under concentrated assault.

"Coordination is getting difficult."

"The frontlines of the three battlefields have completely merged, reaching a stalemate."

"Now, the battle will depend more on the individual strength of these Archimmortals and Archdeities." The Astral Monarchs commanding troops on both sides found their ability to influence events diminishing.

In a war of Archimmortals and Archdeities, coordination was extremely challenging.

Some powerhouses might have hidden trump cards, sometimes battle arrays would malfunction, sometimes a powerhouse might have a breakthrough mid-battle, and so on.

These were all unpredictable factors, and any single error in judgement could affect the situation of the entire battlefield.

The central battlefield.

At this moment, in the core region of this battlefield, both sides were locked in brutal combat.

The most eye-catching were two towering 100,000-zhang tall giants from the Eldritch Court's army, and two equally massive jiaolongs from the Immortal Court's forces.

These four apex battle arrays, all composed of Archeldritches and Archdeities, were each capable of unleashing power at the Astral Monarch level, incredibly formidable.

Surrounding these four apex arrays were over a thousand elite and ordinary arrays, all engaged in frenzied combat.

"Kill!" Astral Lord Lu Huang's gaze was ice-cold.

As a quasi-Astral Monarch-level Archeldritch, his strength was terrifying, and his Dao comprehension and saber techniques reached the pinnacle of the Archeldritch level.

Now, leading an apex battle array, he fully unleashed the power of his saber techniques.

My saber strikes are faster than his! Even faster! I have a chance to defeat him.

Astral Lord Lu Huang stared intently at the jiaolong before him.

If they could destroy this jiaolong battle array, it would affect a large area of the battlefield, causing the Immortal Court's army to take even more casualties.

In this clash of armies, both sides fought to the death, relying on accumulating small advantages bit by bit.

Suddenly, Astral Lord Lu Huang's expression suddenly changed as he saw two figures appear out of thin air in the distance.

Hm, they are?

One was a towering 10,000-zhang tall figure wielding a long spear, emanating an overwhelming aura.

The other figure wore flowing red robes, with frost constantly forming around their body.

High Immortal? High Deity? But how can their auras be so powerful?

Astral Lord Lu Huang was momentarily stunned.

Their presence filled him with a sense of danger like never before. These two had appeared behind the two jiaolong battle arrays, not far apart.

"Retreat! Lu Huang, Gu Kui, withdraw immediately!" The voice of the commanding Astral Monarch instantly resounded in their minds: "They're geniuses from the Immortal Court! They’re extremely strong."

Immortal Court geniuses? Astral Lord Lu Huang instantly understood. They had been warned about this before the battle.

They knew that some extremely monstrous prodigies capable of unleashing power at the Astral Monarch-level despite only being High Immortals or High Deities were likely to appear within the Immortal Court's ranks.

"Retreat!" Astral Lord Lu Huang and the other battle array commander, Astral Lord Gu Kui, immediately began to fall back.

At this moment, from the Eldritch Court's side, more apex battle arrays began to charge over from a distance.

Simultaneously, numerous battle arrays composed of Archimmortals began to cast arcane arts, bombarding the two Immortal Court geniuses and attempting to block their advance.

"Such a swift reaction, but alas, too late." The red-robed female High Immortal's gaze was icy as she unleashed a massive area-of-effect arcane art: "Ice Seal!"

After such careful preparation, how could she allow her target to escape?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The temperature in a radius of millions of li plummeted instantly, as countless shards of ice materialized from thin air.

Thick layers of ice began forming on the bodies of the two 100,000-zhang tall giants led by Astral Lords Lu Huang and Gu Kui. Their speed dropped sharply.

Boom!

That spear-wielding, black-armored High Deity had also charged forward to attack.

"Kill!"

"Kill!" How could the two jiaolong battle arrays let such an opportunity slip by? They too roared and charged forward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The black-armored High Deity unleashed his full power, his speed shocking. Nine long spears danced, each strike unleashing spear lights of limitless might.

Fighting two-on-one, he completely suppressed both Astral Lord Lu Huang and Astral Lord Gu Kui in just a few exchanges.

This sight caused all the powerhouses to tremble.

How could a mere High Deity possess such overwhelming strength? And that other High Immortal, where had they come from?

Slash!

Sabers and spears clashed as Astral Lord Lu Huang and Astral Lord Gu Kui fought with all their might to resist.

From the moment they engaged, they felt the terror of the black-armored High Deity. His spear techniques were far too mysterious, vastly surpassing their own. Even his casual strikes required their utmost effort to block.

Boom! Boom!

The other two jiaolong battle arrays also joined the assault.

Slash!

A flash of sword light streaked across the sky, piercing straight through the head of the giant battle array commanded by Astral Lord Lu Huang.

The flying sword's power was unmatched, instantly slaughtering the majority of Archeldritches within. Astral Lord Lu Huang's consciousness was completely annihilated.

The crimson-robed female High Immortal had made her move.

"No!" With one apex battle array destroyed, the other battle array giant struggled even more, quickly falling under the onslaught.

Under the vast expanse of arcane arts, the Archeldritches who scattered after the battle array's collapse had no hope of escape.

At that moment, the Eldritch Court's forces in this sector of the battlefield completely routed. Without the support of apex battle arrays, ordinary arrays began to fall one after another, and casualties skyrocketed.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of Archimmortals and Archeldritch perished. It was a dramatic shift!

Those two? Indeed, judging by their vital auras, their ether/mana should be at the seventh-stage Archimmortal level. And considering the mastery of their saber techniques and flying swords, they should be at the mid-stage Astral Monarch-level in comprehension.

Wu Yuan observed the battle, immediately noticing the change in the tide of battle and making his assessment.

However, could they be hiding their true strength?

Wu Yuan pondered silently.

Who knows how many geniuses the Immortal Court dispatched? There isn’t any movement from the other two battle lanes yet.

That particular area of the central battlefield was already showing signs of collapse, with the situation rapidly deteriorating.

This was the nature of wars at the level of immortals and deities. The worsening situation of one battle sector could trigger a chain reaction, potentially causing the entire battle lane to crumble.

Once a battle lane collapsed, the casualty ratio between the two sides could reach absurd levels.

However, Wu Yuan didn't rush to intervene, because the central battlefield was High Immortal Nan Yin's responsibility. And she didn't disappoint Wu Yuan.

Hum~

A melody suddenly resonated across the central battlefield, causing the Immortal Court's troops to falter. All were affected by this area-of-effect soul attack.

Immediately after, a purple-robed young woman appeared, her aura incomparably powerful.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A sea of azure flying swords materialized, transforming into a vast sword domain that swept forth in a devastating assault, engulfing one of the jiaolong battle arrays.

Slash~

The sword lights blazed endlessly, and in the blink of an eye, the jiaolong battle array was breached. The multitude of Archdeities within were completely annihilated.

Her power and presence, caused the entire central battlefield to fall silent for a moment. The Immortal Court's army, which had been pressing forward like a tidal wave, seemed to pause.

"Kill!" High Immortal Nan Yin, controlling her sword domain, resembled a peerless sword immortal.

She charged directly towards the two Immortal Court geniuses.
