Just as the battle in the Southern Region was raging, Bai Qi, Qin Yi, and Duan Jiong led the Demon Clan and the 40,000-strong Qihuang Direct Army of the Great Wilderness into the Western Region Buddhist Kingdom through the barrier passage.
As the saying goes, "If the enemy can go there, so can I."
Although Shen Zhao was no longer present, Song Yanran, as a powerful ruler, was no less as strategic as Shen Zhao.
She asked, since the Nine Netherworlds and the Buddhist Kingdom could exploit loopholes in the Heavenly Ranking to infiltrate the Nine Realms, why couldn't she do the same?
Bai Qi instantly understood his meaning and immediately united the Demon Clan, the Holy Domain, and the Great Wilderness Clan to form a surprise force to raid the Buddhist Kingdom.
The reason why he didn't choose Jiuyou was because Bai Qi knew that Jiuyou's terrain was too complex to be effective for a surprise attack.
The moment the surprise attack entered the Buddhist kingdom, tens of thousands of Buddhist temples in the Western Regions were reduced to ruins.
With the main force of the Buddhist Kingdom on the expedition, the remaining resistance forces were swept away by Bai Qi's army and suffered repeated defeats.
During this period, Liang Hao and Fahai, the two sixth brothers, achieved remarkable feats.
“Buddha Kingdom bald monk, take my Frost Blossom Sky!”
With a single move, the more than a thousand evil monks of the Vulture Temple, all of whom were at the Qi Condensation Realm, were instantly turned into ice sculptures.
"Amitabha, fellow Buddhist, please accept this humble monk's 'Buddha Shakes Mountains and Rivers' technique!"
Fahai unleashed a single strike of the Tathagata Palm, instantly sending a group of Buddhist followers to meet the Buddha.
As they watched the blood rain falling from the sky, Fahai and Liang Hao appeared as two war gods, displaying the demeanor of powerful warriors.
"kill!"
Bai Qi gave another order, and the army marched directly towards Mount Ling.
"After today, the Buddhist kingdom can finally break free from the control of evil!"
"First destroy the Buddhist Kingdom, then punish the Nine Netherworlds. The Nine Realms are destined to usher in the peace that Commander Shen longs for."
Bai Qi and Duan Jiong exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with passionate fervor.
...
"Iron Cavalry Battalion, charge!"
"Drink!"
Rumble—
On the battlefield outside Luoyang, with the allied forces of Jiuyou and the Buddhist Kingdom on the verge of collapse, Luo Pianhong personally took command and unleashed his final trump card.
Central Region Dragon Han Iron Cavalry Camp.
This is a heavily armored cavalry personally trained by Song Yanran! They once created an epic record of iron and blood in the Longhan Heavenly Dynasty.
They roam freely throughout the Central Region, relying on this cavalry force composed entirely of cultivators at the Nirvana Realm or above, using Heavenly Grade Spirit Horses as their mounts, and now equipped with Earthly Grade Spirit Armor from the Southern Region—truly armed to the teeth.
boom--
The iron cavalry charged forward, undeterred.
The heavy iron hooves trampled the earth, sweeping away all the monsters and demons that stood in their way like a whirlwind.
"Ah~ no~"
Just as a cultivator at the Netherworld Supreme Realm was about to retaliate, he saw the heavily armored cavalry approaching like an iron wall, and his soul trembled instantly. He turned around and tried to flee.
But the instant he jumped, a five-meter-long spear pierced through his chest from behind.
With a painful scream, he spat out a mouthful of dark green blood, and at the same time, his feet left the ground and his body lurched forward uncontrollably.
The charging cavalry crashed into the enemy, causing men and horses to fall. Almost every cavalryman at the forefront had at least three pierced corpses hanging from their lances.
The enemy's high-ranking cultivators wanted to join the battle and stop the cavalry charge, but they were also held back by the allied cultivators and could only watch helplessly as Luo Pianhong led the cavalry to slowly carve through the entire battlefield.
The area outside Luoyang City resembled a hellish scene, with cultivators and soldiers locked in fierce combat.
"Damn it, how could this happen!"
When Huizun saw this scene, it was truly beyond his expectations.
Emperor Heng: "The war situation is not good. It seems that if we do not take action to stop Luo Pianhong, we will not be able to take over the Southern Region at all."
Hui Zun: "Then..."
In just a moment, he suddenly sensed something in his mind.
"Oh no! Something's happened in the Buddhist kingdom!"
He and Emperor Heng spoke almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with intense surprise.
Meanwhile, in the void, Song Yanran and Zhifo had already exchanged over a thousand blows, neither able to gain the upper hand.
This was the strongest cultivator Song Yanran had encountered besides Shen Zhao and Bai Xinian. Even using all her skills, she could hardly harm him in the slightest, which made her fighting spirit burn to the extreme.
The Buddha was also surprised by Song Yanran's profound foundation. If he hadn't cultivated the Undying Golden Body to perfection, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the bombardment of the Ancestral Dragon Emperor's Qi.
After exchanging three more moves, which caused strange phenomena to shake the heavens and earth, the two sides retreated ten steps and entered a standoff.
After a brief moment of adjustment, the Buddha clenched his fist, and the Buddha's power instantly flowed through his entire arm.
"Song Yanran, try my 'Wrathful Buddha's Heavenly Fire' move."
"The Supreme Form of the Imperial Principles: The Han Emperor's Supremacy".
The moment the ultimate move struck, the air distorted, and the Dao essence surged forth like a tidal wave, each strand carrying the power to destroy the world as it fell toward Luoyang City.
Just as Dao Yun was about to destroy this brand-new city, a powerful protective array was activated, blocking this catastrophic crisis.
"You women can just focus on fighting and killing, but I, the Carefree Emperor, have too many things to consider. Sigh, what a life of toil."
Fortunately, Emperor Zhuge Bai protected the city, ensuring that Luoyang remained safe and sound.
After their ultimate moves, the two were evenly matched once again, and then entered into an even more dangerous close-quarters battle.
On the other hand, Mu Qiuyao seemed much more relaxed when facing the Asura Emperor.
Although it was impossible to completely overwhelm him, the battle between the two was an unfair duel from the very beginning because the Asura Emperor had already been injured by Song Yanran's attack.
After dozens more moves, the Asura Emperor lost his focus and had his arm severed by Mu Qiuyao.
"Well--"
After a moment of contemplation, the Asura Emperor immediately transformed into light and landed on the ground, avoiding Mu Qiuyao's pursuit.
"You're running away already? Don't try! You were killed by my Zhao Zhao in your past life, so you deserve to be killed by his wife in this one too, hahaha—"
Mu Qiuyao's laughter was very sweet, but to the Asura Emperor, it was nothing short of the ultimate mockery.
But in his current state, he was completely unable to continue fighting, and could only vent his anger in a fit of rage.
Unfortunately, Mu Qiuyao's personality is such that she takes advantage of your weakness to kill you.
"Tired? Then I will take pity on you and send you on your final journey."
With a flick of her wrist, Qiu Zhao unleashed boundless power of Daoist principles, hurtling straight towards the Asura Emperor.
"How hateful! When did I ever get driven to this point by a woman!"
With an angry roar, the Asura Emperor, despite his injuries, charged forward.
After exchanging a single blow with Zhifo, neither Song Yanran nor Zhifo launched another attack.
She slowly closed her eyes and began to condense new Daoist principles, deciding to break this predicament with a change of tactics.
The Buddha had the same thought, but just as he was about to gather his Yuan Power, he suddenly felt a tremor in his mind.
"Oh no, something has happened in the Buddhist kingdom."
In a moment of distraction, Song Yanran seized the opportunity and suddenly obtained the White Serpent Sword.
"A beautiful face, a swan's vow to shine through the years."
A sword strike that returned to its original simplicity struck the dazed Buddha directly.
boom--
Ah~
A burst of smoke and dust exploded, and the Buddha was instantly defeated.
