Six dazzling rays of light shot straight into the sky, condensing into the totem of the Six Dharma Venerables in the void.

Confucius, the sage of Confucianism; Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism; Tathagata, the founder of Buddhism; Taiyi, the founder of the demon race; Suiren, the human emperor; and Yuanshi, the founder of the demon race.

The six ancient sages, like six bright moons in the sky, dispelled all darkness into nothingness.

Suddenly, an extraordinary figure soared into the air.

"Heavenly Absorption Technique - Collect!"

Shen Zhao activated the Heaven Absorption Divine Technique, using his own eighth-grade Emperor Realm cultivation as a foundation to absorb all the power of the six bright moons into his body.

A powerful aura entered his body, rampaging through every part of it, and the overwhelming holy energy almost burst his dantian.

As a trace of blood seeped from the corner of Shen Zhao's mouth, his gaze became even more resolute.

"Drink~"

With a loud shout, Shen Zhao, wielding the military knife "Po Jun," plummeted to the ground.

He then bent down and slammed his palm into the ground.

Instantly, all the holy energy within his body spread out through the pre-carved array patterns.

In an instant, a vast array of innate Bagua diagrams was displayed, centered on Shen Zhao himself.

"No, stop him, no~"

Within the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, Li Cangqiong sensed a powerful force capable of dispelling evil rapidly forming, and couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching scream.

However, it was all too late.

As Shen Zhao unleashed a devastating slash across the sky, obscuring the blood moon and carrying the power to destroy the world, he slowly descended towards the barrier of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation. Li Cangqiong painfully closed his eyes.

Boom~

A tremendous explosion shook the entire Netherworld, making it seem as if it were about to collapse.

The vast holy energy instantly shattered the last barrier blocking the Iron Flame Army's path.

The first two hundred Nirvana Realm cultivators were swept away by the holy energy, leaving only skeletons as evidence of their existence.

The aftershocks of the holy energy swept away the remaining members of the Nine Nether Clan, turning them all to ashes once again.

"Iron Flame Army!"

"Attack~"

"Po Jun Mansion!"

"go ahead!"

"Kill!"

Tens of thousands of Iron Flame Army soldiers roared with the most powerful roar in three years, their morale soaring to its peak, and they surged forward wave after wave toward the enemy's last fortress.

Li Cangqiong stared blankly at this scene, knowing that the end of Jiuyou was coming.

Although more than 10,000 fearless members of the Reincarnation Sea Defense Line still held the broken gaps and fought a desperate battle with the Iron Flame Army.

But he knew that once the barrier was broken, Jiuyou's fate was sealed.

"Issue my military order: throughout the Reincarnation Sea, regardless of age, weakness, gender, or social status, kill without mercy!"

Leave not a single one alive! Send these filthy beasts to hell, never to be reincarnated!

Shen Zhao raised the Broken Army flag high and loudly commanded the three armies to launch the final general offensive.

Before the coastal defense line of reincarnation, it instantly became a cruel meat grinder.

The red and green liquid splashed in the air from the moment the two armies clashed, and severed limbs were scattered all over the battlefield.

Faced with such overwhelming rage from humanity, the soldiers of the Nine Netherworlds also displayed tenacious resistance.

As soon as one person fell, another would quickly take their place, all in an effort to slow down the Iron Flame Army's advance for a moment, only to fall meaninglessly on the land they depended on for survival.

It's not that they aren't afraid, it's that they have no way out.

They were already well aware of the Iron Flame Army's brutality.

Once the Sea of ​​Reincarnation falls, their homeland and their people will be reduced to victims of the slaughter, with no chance of redemption, inevitably leading to the destruction of their nation and the extinction of their race.

However, as the war intensified, the Nine Netherworld Guardian forces became increasingly thin.

Just as the Iron Flame Army was about to breach the final defense line of the Reincarnation Sea.

"Heh~"

"Thump~"

A cry of an eagle and a deafening chime instantly spread across the battlefield.

Upon hearing the bell toll, both the soldiers of Jiuyou and the Iron Flame Army stopped fighting and turned around to look in disbelief in the direction of the sound.

This is the sound of the bell signaling the end of war for the Great Yin Dynasty.

Shen Zhao's pupils contracted. As soon as he looked up, he saw a dark figure leap down from the sky, run quickly to him, kneel on one knee, and present the Empress's document.

"His Majesty has decreed that the Great Yin and the Nine Netherworlds have reached a reconciliation. The Prefect of the Broken Army and General Shen Zhao of the Zhen Shuo Army are hereby ordered to immediately lead their troops out of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation and return to the capital to report back. There must be no delay!"

After saying that, she moved the Empress's document, which was stamped with the Imperial Seal of Mountains and Rivers, towards Shen Zhao.

After hearing the words of the Director of the Divine Travel Bureau, Shen Zhao stood there dumbfounded, unable to believe it was true.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

"His Majesty has decreed that the Great Yin and the Nine Netherworlds have reached a reconciliation. The Prefect of the Broken Army and General Shen Zhao of the Zhen Shuo Army are hereby ordered to immediately lead their troops out of Huangquankou and return to the capital to report back!"

The director repeated what he had said before.

"Insolence! How dare you falsely convey an imperial edict! Guards, seize him!"

Shen Zhao snatched the Empress's document and tore it to shreds without even glancing at it.

Then he turned and roared, "Soldiers! Follow me... uh..."

Suddenly, Shen Zhao felt a piercing pain in his chest, as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and he staggered and knelt on one knee.

He clutched his chest tightly, his face contorted with an unprecedented ferocity.

"No~ This isn't real~ Ah~"

He tried to continue resisting, but an even more excruciating pain then filled every cell of his body.

When the Chief of the Divine Travel Bureau saw that Shen Zhao dared to tear up the Empress's document, he was furious: "Commander Shen, this is the Empress's personal imperial decree! How could you destroy it without authorization?"

Then he took out twelve more gold tablets.

"If the documents are forged, does that mean these twelve imperial edicts are also fake?"

Shen Zhao was immediately shocked. Looking at the gleaming gold medal in front of him, his mind went completely blank.
