Chapter 1985: Carrying out the Plan
The Celestial Thearch and Ancient Dragon Empress were only able to keep the explosions from Xiao Tu’s detonation at bay after unleashing their most powerful spell techniques.
The Heavenly Human Tribe was seemingly ready for this as well as they managed to instantly create an invisible barrier that kept all of the shockwaves at bay.
Following the explosion, there wasn’t any trace of Xiao Tu left.
In contrast, Xiao Ze was faring much better. As one of the most defensively proficient Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures, he wasn’t really even injured after being swatted away by the giant fan, even though he had been swept very far away into the distance.
However, the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army was getting a little nervous as they were now being confronted by five Heavenly Gods!
There was the Heavenly God enshrouded in shadows, the lark Heavenly God, the light particle Heavenly God, the Heavenly Goddess wielding the massive fan, and the Heavenly God wielding the massive saber.
Before these two new Heavenly Gods showed up, the two sides were comparable in overall power.
But now, with five Heavenly Gods present, things had taken a worrying turn.
The power balance was already out of equilibrium, and retaliation from the Heavenly Human Tribe was a possibility.
“That annoying b*stard has finally pissed off.” The petite Heavenly Goddess sat on her fan, and a smile appeared on her face.
“Ling Hua, you should have killed him,” the Heavenly God wielding the massive saber said.
Ling Hua glared at him and harrumphed coldly. “You make that sound so easy. Why don’t you give it a try? I’d like to see you kill that dragon without activating all nine of your divine halos!”
The saber-wielding Heavenly God’s lips twitched. Would it kill you to flex with me?
At this moment, the lark flew into the sky and looked down upon the opposing army. A crisp, chirping voice echoed throughout heaven and earth, “Do you want to continue? If you wish to keep fighting, we’d be happy to fight as well.”
The lark was giving the Celestial Thearch and the others a choice.
They could choose to withdraw from the battle!
“Kingdom of the Nine States United Army, retreat!”
The Celestial Thearch’s voice rang out across the entire battlefield.
The Kingdom of the Nine States United Army was both relieved and slightly disappointed upon hearing this.
So this was not the final battle after all...
The massive army numbering in excess of ninety million retreated in an orderly fashion.
The Heavenly Human Tribe United Army looked on expressionlessly at their retreating enemies, as if they were extending a silent farewell.
Only the lark turned to look into the distance in a certain direction with a cautious expression on its face.
At this moment, at the Eastern Heavenly Gate.
Within a sea of light.
A female living being constructed from countless particles of light said to a clump of soil in her hands, “How is the situation at the Central Heavenly Gate?”
“We’ve encountered some trouble. That An Lin really is quite the maverick. Furthermore, the Divine Phoenix Maiden is also posing as a major roadblock. We won’t be able to carry out our plan for now,” the Heavenly Earth God’s voice sounded from the clump of soil.
The woman fell silent for a moment before responding, “Our plan can’t change. We need to restrict these two when necessary.”
“That’s easier said than done... He’s becoming stronger at a phenomenal rate. I really don’t know what the outcome would be in an actual battle...” the Heavenly Earth God said in a resigned voice.
“Surely it’ll be a piece of cake with the Heavenly Sea God’s help?” The woman chuckled.
“He’s still recovering from his injuries.” The Heavenly Earth God sighed.
“Then wait until he’s fully recovered. After that, you guys can join forces to restrict An Lin and kill the Divine Phoenix Maiden.” The woman brushed off his concerns with nonchalance.
In her eyes, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were indeed roadblocks, but they were not powerful enough to derail their plans. At the very most, they would be a little troublesome to deal with.
“How is the plan progressing on your end?” the Heavenly Earth God asked.
“It’s going very smoothly.” An elated smile appeared on her face at the mention of this topic. “We slew ten million of the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army forces at the expense of only twenty million Heavenly Humans. These humans must be thinking that they’ve won that battle! What a pitiful and foolish race... The Heavenly Human Tribe is just a tool in our eyes. I wonder what their reaction will be if they discovered that there are over a billion Heavenly Humans waiting for them on the West Sea...”
The Heavenly Earth God was quite pleased. “We can keep grinding the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army down like this. You and I will only need to hold off the two premier heavenly disciples of the Heaven Crushing Sect, and the human race will be completely erased.”
“Those one billion Heavenly Humans are our main trump card. Make sure they’re kept safe and hidden,” the woman cautioned.
“Don’t worry. Don’t underestimate the Heavenly Sea God; he knows what he’s doing.” The Heavenly Earth God wasn’t concerned.
...
At Yue Tong City.
An Lin received a report of the battle that had just taken place at the eastern front.
The Celestial Thearch was very elated as he delivered the news to An Lin.
However, An Lin was quite concerned after receiving this news. He could see what the enemy was trying to do. At this rate, the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army would be reduced to half of its numbers. After that, a billion Heavenly Humans would suddenly emerge from the west and completely crush them...
This was a very good plan, but they had miscalculated. What they didn’t know was just how ambitious one of their supposed allies was...
An Lin chuckled with this thought in mind.
“What has gotten you in such high spirits?” Xu Xiaolan carried a dish with her to the table.
She was currently wearing a little bear mask. Even though An Lin had wholeheartedly accepted her current appearance, she was still quite self-conscious. She couldn’t change what she looked like, so she could only put on a mask to obscure her features.
Thankfully, Xu Xiaolan’s spirits seemed to have been lifted slightly after putting on the mask. She accepted this reality and resumed her daily activities, which included cooking.
An Lin sampled the delicious dishes being placed before him and delivered news of the recently concluded battle to Xu Xiaolan.
Xu Xiaolan was also quite elated after hearing this news. “We slew over twenty million enemies at the expense of only ten million troops? That’s great! No wonder you look so happy.”
An Lin’s lips twitched upon seeing this.
The reason for his elation was that he had seen through the Heavenly Human Tribe’s sinister plot...
Speaking of which, wasn’t it time for the Heavenly Sea God to set things into motion?
At this moment, on the western border of the Tai Chu Continent.
On a boundless ocean.
Countless sea monsters were letting loose war cries.
There were over twenty million sea monsters gathered, and their combined cries rocked heaven and earth.
Lan Xiaoni sat upon a massive, colorful bubble and floated at the center of all of the sea monsters.
This was the first large-scale battle between the West Sea Alliance and the Heavenly Human Tribe since the Heavenly Sea God had descended. As such, she naturally had to attend the battle in person.
She could command an army of over forty million sea monsters. However, this battle was only a test of strength for both sides, so she refrained from deploying all of her troops.
Aside from the twenty million sea monsters, there were also five million powerful beings each from the Holy Martial Clan and the True Demon Tribe. They had also been drafted into this army and followed Lan Xiaoni’s commands.
In the past, the West Sea Alliance was the only force guarding the Western Heavenly Gate. Now that the Heavenly Sea God had descended upon this world, the other forces on the Tai Chu Continent began to panic. Even though the West Sea Alliance hadn’t requested reinforcements, they were still being voluntarily provided.
The West Sea Alliance was the most important force guarding the western front. They could not be allowed to fall.
Lan Xiaoni looked at the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army in the distance, of which there were only about twenty million, and a stern expression appeared on her face. She stood up and waved a slender arm through the air. “West Sea Alliance Army, heed my call and commence battle!”
