After a night of fierce fighting and utter chaos, the next day arrived quickly, and Chishongzi personally led a team to assess the losses.
After the examination was completed, he shook his head, looking disappointed.
In retrospect, the loss of manpower last night was not a big deal. After a chaotic battle, only a few thousand men were lost, while the enemy left behind a similar number of corpses.
The key issue was the destruction of the timber ships; after a night of fire, the timber warships were almost completely lost.
All the hard work of the craftsmen these past few days has been in vain.
If we want to build ships again, we'll probably have to start from scratch.
This time, the Yanhuang army chose a place far from the Jietian River, cut down timber on the nearest mountain, and transported it down the mountain to begin building ships.
Anyway, once it's built, we can just use supernatural powers to transport it to the Heavenly River.
Moreover, to prevent the other side from causing trouble again, Chisongzi dispatched an army several times larger than last time, and also assigned dozens of elders and priests to guard it together...
Several months have passed, and the required warships have finally been completed.
During this period, Gonggong sent people to harass them several times, but they were all driven back. Although there were some losses, it was much better than the first time when they were all burned to ashes.
In any case, the warships were quickly completed and then stored away by the spatial magic treasure, and soon enough was accumulated for the army to cross the river.
As for why it was so fast, it's quite simple, since these craftsmen are not ordinary humans.
Which of them didn't possess cultivation? Some of them had even visited the Heavenly Court's fire workshops and learned the art of forging and refining magical treasures from those master craftsmen...
After the ships were built, Chisongzi ordered his soldiers to practice naval warfare on a tributary of the Jietian River. Only when he felt they were ready did he begin the actual river crossing operation.
On this day, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, the wind was gentle and the waves were calm, making it the perfect time to send troops to cross the river.
Therefore, Chisongzi ordered his men to take out countless warships from his spatial magical treasure and place them at the shallow dock of the Jietian River, and then arranged for his generals and soldiers to board the warships.
Under the manipulation of some naval forces, the warships parted the waves and headed towards the opposite shore.
For a moment, boats shuttled back and forth on the river, their flags fluttering, transforming into a dark cloud as they headed towards the city of Jietian on the opposite bank. An aura of killing swept across the river, seemingly capable of cutting off its flow.
In mid-air, some flying sorcerer warriors, led by elder priests and generals, subtly protected the boats on the river, guarding against a sneak attack from the enemy on the other side.
Beneath the river's surface, countless sorcerer warriors used their magical artifacts to part the currents, positioning themselves beneath the warships to guard against an underwater attack that could capsize the vessels...
As for Chisongzi, he was leading a group of generals on a warship, directing the ship forward. At the highest point of the warship, a Kan-Gen-Kun flag was planted, emitting boundless radiant light that enveloped the river surface.
At first, the entire Jietian River was still a scene of surging waves, but where the colorful clouds shone, the strong wind on the river suddenly stopped, and the water became as calm as a mirror.
This Kan-Gen-Kun flag is inherently water-based. Once it is unleashed, it can easily stabilize the waves of the four seas. So, using it to suppress the wind and waves of a mere river connecting to the heavens is naturally nothing.
As the Kan Di Gen Kun flag fluttered in the wind at the bow of the ship, a myriad of colorful rays of light spread across the water. The entire Jie Tian River seemed to have been stabilized by a sea-stabilizing needle, with no giant waves in sight, only shallow splashes stirred up by the warships as they moved forward...
The Yanhuang army's warships rained down, arrayed one after another on the river, and marched across the long river to the other side.
Gonggong also led his army onto warships and marched towards Chisongzi's army, their flags fluttering in the wind, a magnificent and imposing sight.
Soon after, the two sides met in the middle of the river. Gonggong stood on the deck of the boat, raised his hand and pointed, and the water below churned and suddenly a huge wave, hundreds of feet high, swept towards the other side.
He didn't believe that a single giant wave could capsize all the enemy's ships and send the Yanhuang army on board into the river to feed the fish.
This was just a way of greeting Chishongzi.
Faced with the surging, towering waves, Chisongzi reached out and grabbed the Kan Di Gen Kun Banner in his hand. With a gentle shake, the banner shone even brighter, and it was swept away by the giant waves.
Before the giant wave even got close, it had already exploded, turning into countless splashes of water that scattered in all directions.
At this moment, before the two ships even collided, they were already fighting in the sky.
The Kunpeng Ancestor led his demon army, sometimes shrouded in demonic winds, sometimes riding in flying boats, to meet the Yanhuang army in the sky.
When the two enemies met, they had nothing to say to each other and immediately started fighting.
The Kunpeng Ancestor personally took action, merely raising his hand to unleash a wind blade that instantly killed dozens of human elders and priests who rushed towards him.
The Yanhuang side was terrified upon seeing this, feeling that this single enemy general could wipe them all out—how could they possibly fight?
Just when they were feeling desperate, a point of white light suddenly flew in from the sky, burst open in front of them, and finally transformed into a twelve-white lotus that appeared before them.
On the white lotus, Guan Kong stood holding a whisk, blocking the Kunpeng Ancestor for everyone.
The people of Yanhuang were extremely excited to see Guan Kong arrive in time, and a group of elders, priests, and generals came over to pay their respects.
Guan Kong calmly instructed, "This is a dangerous and perilous situation, so there's no need for further formalities."
Then, she turned to look at the Kunpeng Ancestor opposite her and said with a smile, "Ancestor, today your opponent is me."
When the Kunpeng Ancestor saw that it was Guan Kong who had arrived, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
I never imagined that my ancestor would fall to such a state, and that even a junior among juniors would dare to provoke me.
It should be noted that the ancestor of this younger generation, Taiyi, was the Heavenly Emperor of the God Clan, above all the gods. It is understandable that the ancestor was no match for him.
After all, he was someone who could fight against Hongjun Laozu without being at a disadvantage.
At that time, many powerful beings in the primordial world were no match for this person, and he was just one of them, which is nothing special.
Later, this junior's teacher was born, and he became a disciple of Taiyi. His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he eventually cultivated into Pangu, defeating all kinds of powerful beings along the way.
It's not surprising that even the Kunpeng Ancestor was no match for him.
What he was most unwilling to accept was that Taiyi's grand-disciple had grown so quickly that he could now stand in front of him and challenge him.
What does this even mean?
Has all his cultivation as a dignified demon master been wasted all these years?
"You little brat! Take this!"
Enraged, the Kunpeng Ancestor pointed his finger, and the Spirit Treasure Demon Master Palace flew down from the heavens and crashed down on Guan Kong.
Although he was annoyed, he did not underestimate Guan Kong. He immediately unleashed his most powerful spiritual treasure...
