"We’ve finally arrived!"
Fang Yuan could not help but sigh as he saw the city walls of Yang City.
Immediately, the Swelling Earth flourishing on the riverbanks caught Fang Yuan’s attention.
"This is Swelling Earth? Amazing indeed!"
"Lor... Lord!"
Tong’s teeth were chattering. As they were rushing for time, only the two of them made use of their techniques to arrive so quickly.
As Tong thought about the trouble ahead of them, he felt anxious and uneasy.
"50,000 tribe members from Jiuli Division and a Xing that’s comparable to an army leader! If we brought along that few thousand men of ours, they would surely die to them!"
Fang Yuan gestured, "By leaving the entire army there, they can continue to suppress the north... That said, you dare to not come here?"
"... I dare not!"
Tong could only force a smile and reply him.
After all, Tong was a dream master in the Realm Alliance. If he did not want to be killed after he returned to Da Qian, he could only obediently come to Yang City and await his next order even if he knew his chances of survival would be very low.
"Another idiot blinded by ’righteousness’!" Fang Yuan thought of Tong’s plight with disdain. Moments later, he felt fearful.
Although Fang Yuan was confident he could survive in this realm, he still had to enter this realm even though he knew this realm was extremely dangerous!
Of course, if this was not a dream realm, Fang Yuan would not have willingly chosen to face such dangers. He would even rather commit treason than willingly put himself in such dangers in the real world.
Royal Palace.
"Greetings, King Xi!"
Fang Yuan and Tong paid their respects to Elder Xi Chen.
"Yuan, Tong... it’s great that you all could settle the Hule Division in the north!"
Xi was still solemn and stern as always, he continued, "Just that I can only reward the two of you after we defeat the Jiuli Division! Now, follow me to fight them!"
Xi stood up immediately after he finished speaking. He was donned in a body armour.
"Yes, your Majesty!"
Fang Yuan and Tong took a step back and joined the rest of the ministers and lords. They then gathered at the top of the heavily guarded city walls of Yang City.
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
The Jiuli Division army was already near the city walls. The 50,000 witches were like a black coloured torrent and were shouting loudly, their voices spreading far and wide. However, the ministers on top of the city walls remained unfazed.
"This is..."
The dream masters and priests saw much more.
As Fang Yuan surveyed the group of Jiuli Division army, he saw black coloured and red coloured vapours rising to the sky above their heads. It seemed as though there were immense hatred and cursings coming from them.
"The hatred from an entire country and the cursings from an entire tribe.... This is accumulated and brewed over hundreds of years..."
Fang Yuan could see even more as the corner of his eyes twitched and his Fiery Eyes shined brightly.
The black and red vapours were even denser and they mixed together. There was even a tinge of purple in it!
"The heavenly trend?!"
The purple colour disappeared in an instant. Even though Fang Yuan only caught a few glimpses of it, his eyes began to hurt and were on the verge of tears.
He was greatly enlightened, "That’s it! In this realm, even though the Xia Tribe is doing very well, they will still not be favoured as much by the heavens!"
"Furthermore, if the Sage did not enter this realm last time, Jiuli Division would have been the ones leading the people dao!"
"Hence, although Chi was destroyed, the Jiuli Division still survived. Now, they have engaged their whole tribe to fight us and are even blessed by the heavenly trend!"
With the heavenly trend on their side, they would be protected by the heavenly energy too! If they were killed, their attacker would be punished with the wrath of the heavens and suffer tribulations! It would be truly horrifying.
Amongst the Jiuli tribe, there was an extremely muscular man. He had a dark red light glowing from him and his body was god-like. He stood forward and hollered loudly, "... The orthodox of Xia has long oppressed the tribe of Jiuli! Today, I will seek vengeance and enact punishment! Attack!"
At this stage, all the spying, peace talks and even schemes were useless. Only absolute power could suppress all!
"Kill them all!"
50,000 Jiuli tribe members roared and charged forward. The black and red coloured energies on their head combined and turned purple before falling onto their heads, blessing them.
Even dream masters felt suffocated at the sight of such mighty powers.
"Summoning the people dao!"
Xi waved his hands coldly and a picture scroll appeared from thin air. It first depicted the scenes of ancestors engaging in slash-and-burn agriculture, their harsh lives and numerous other scenes of civilisation starting.
Afterwards, the souls of those outstanding humans in the people dao formed a long river stream.
This was the people dao torrent! Once it appeared, the Xia Tribe were boosted by their tribal energy. Similarly, it even affected the heavens as they too gained purple-coloured fate energy.
"People dao is part of the heavenly dao. Xia Tribe has the 9 cauldrons that could suppress fate energy and offset the heavenly trend’s boost on Jiuli Division..... The Xia Tribe may even have a slight advantage!" Fang Yuan contemplated as he watched.
"Fight!"
Xi bawled loudly.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The warriors of Xia Tribe roared towards the skies.
Even though they were the tribe with the best standards of living in the 9 Regions, they did not lose their bravery and righteousness!
"Bang!"
Under the loud noises, the two groups of armies clashed together.
Although the soldiers of Jiuli Division were brave, they were disadvantaged by their weapons and the city walls. Immediately, there was a stalemate. Xia Country’s city walls became a meat grinder that was continuously taking away lives from the two sides.
"Kill them all!"
Xing hollered and a colossal giant emerged from behind him. With a punch, he rushed towards the city walls. In that instant, the realm tremored!
That was a punch from the witch! It was comparable to a True Divine! It could not be dodged! Almost no one could block it!
If it landed on the city walls, the walls would have definitely given way.
"Xing!"
On top of the city walls, a sun appeared behind Elder Xi Chen’s back. As its corona extended, its spiritual territory spread across the area.
"Dream masters at the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine stage can actualise spiritual lands and wield power over the land! Furthermore... they can create spirituality and even actualise a tribe, but not humans..." Fang Yuan thought.
Fang Yuan stared intently at this scene.
Such high-levelled battles were extremely uncommon.
"Roar!"
The sun shined brightly high in the sky.
Under the corona’s territory, it was as though the entire city walls were blessed. The Xia Tribe soldiers standing on it were energised while the Jiuli soldiers were badly scorched and injured.
Furthermore, in front of the city gates, two 100 feet tall beasts emerged from the cracks in the earth. One was in the form of a dragon while the other was in the form of a tiger and their eyes brimmed with intelligence. They then roared loudly as they pounced towards the punching giant.
"Bang!"
A loud bang could be heard and the tiger and dragon erupted. Large amounts of rocks scattered down and a bloody scent filled the air. The punching giant also disappeared without a trace left.
"The head of Xia Tribe, Xi?!"
As Xing watched, a bloodthirsty glow emitted from his eyes, it was as though he had found his most wanted prey. He ferociously sprang forward so quickly as though he travelled through time and arrived below the city walls in two steps.
Xing raised his giant axe high up and dared, "I dare you to come down and fight!"
"Why would I dare not?"
Xi leapt down lightly and a long sword appeared on his hand.
The sword was straight and well built while its blade had four sides to it. One side was carved with the sun, the moon and the stars. Another side was carved with mountains, rivers, trees and grass. Another side was inscribed with agricultural techniques. The last side was inscribed with military tactics to rule the world. The sword had a mighty meaning to it and was a heavenly sword!
"Amazing sword!" Fang Yuan thought.
Fang Yuan’s eyes sparkled at the sight of the sword as he thought, "People dao fate energy is condensed on this sword, even if I reach the 7th Tier, my magical soldiers may not even be comparable to this!"
"Kill them all!"
Xing swung his axe as he shouted.
The axe swung wildly. Although it was barbaric, it was filled with an indescribable intrinsicality, it was as though it could create a world.
Xi Chen parried with his sword.
"Clang!"
An intense vibration spread across immediately. The eardrums of the soldiers in the nearby 100 feet radius ruptured at once and they collapsed onto the floor screaming in pain.
A 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master could actualise a group of beasts and utilise the power of its spiritual territory, it was natural that he could strengthen his body!
Although Xi rarely demonstrated his skills, his body still contained numerous divine techniques. Additionally, with the blessings from the spiritual land, his body was comparable to a martial artist Divine Body!
"Haha! Good, again!"
The inscriptions that covered Xing’s entire body were like metal armour. His voice was filled with excitement as they were both equally matched, he continued, "You are the king of Xia Tribe, I will kill you fair and square! I will take away your everything!"
"Breach the city walls and massacre Yang City!"
As the two powerful leaders fought, large numbers of black shadows appeared outside Yang City which turned into numerous kinds of demons. Especially inside the waters, the black shadows repeatedly attacked the seal on the Swelling Earth.
"Quickly suppress them!"
Ju stood high above and ordered all the dream masters, officials and priests of Xia Tribe to fight against the demons and those who possessed divine techniques in Jiuli Division.
Fang Yuan fought dutifully. As he was a dream master at the 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine stage, he picked a similarly powerful demon, a black water dragon, to fight against. He fought against the demon slowly and used his sword spirit from time to time.
The black water dragon was one of the more skilled ones amongst the Hidden Dragon Guards. Although it cultivated for many years, it was no match for Fang Yuan’s 3 Talents Sword Array’s sword spirits. Thus, Fang Yuan could still observe the battlefield while fighting against it.
"The two sides are evenly matched..."
After scanning the surrounding with his spiritual will, Fang Yuan thought to himself, "Just that... the Hidden Dragon Guards have placed a powerful being leader into this realm. After the Realm Alliance was alerted to it, we have also sent more members here as reinforcements. Now we just have to wait and see who will make the first move!"
A powerful being’s patience should not be underestimated.
In order to emerge victorious, it was nothing for them to lose tens of thousands of lives in Yang City!
"However... in terms of contributions to people dao, fate energy and their intrinsic qualities, Xia Tribe is still way ahead of Jiuli Tribe! Even if Xia Tribe is defeated this time around, there will still be chances for them to rise again. Whereas if Jiuli Division is defeated this time around, their entire tribe would be doomed!" Fang Yuan thought.
Fang Yuan moved his spiritual will.
Indeed, moments later, the 9 cauldrons in the royal palace resonated and turned into 9 powerful beams of golden light. They soared through the skies and dug down to the earth before joining the battle.
"Bang! Bang!"
Although Xing had already cultivated his witchcraft dao Divine Body, he could not withstand the 9 cauldrons which suppressed people dao fate energy. Xing kept moving backwards while squeaking noises could be heard from his body.
"The Jiuli has been defeated! Us Xia Tribe form the people dao with our 9 cauldrons and obtain fate energy by ourselves!
Xi Chen’s voice could still be heard, "Today... I will use the 9 cauldrons to cultivate that last resistance of yours!"
As he spoke, flames erupted from the 9 cauldrons and seared Xing’s Divine Body.
"Boom!"
It was as though hot oil just touched water. Originally, the inscriptions on Xing’s body were impenetrable. But now, he could only scream bloody murder as the flames of the people dao seared him. Streaks of black vapour appeared as the inscriptions on his body disintegrated continuously.
