An alien realm army!
From afar, one could sense an incredibly terrifying aura of solemn killing quietly spreading, causing hearts to tremble and chill.
Without a doubt, this was an extremely powerful army, numbering in the tens of thousands, charging forward in sturdy armor. There were also numerous powerful experts riding ferocious beasts, treading through the sky as the great army descended upon the city walls.
And right before this fearsome alien realm army, a group of defeated soldiers was rapidly fleeing in this direction. The armor they wore was identical to that of the Qingyang Domain's side, though at this moment it appeared quite tattered. Many warriors were covered in blood, with severed limbs and severe injuries.
Clearly, in a recent battle within the Domain War, this force had suffered a major defeat, no match for their opponents, routed and scattered, a pitiful sight.
However, no one blamed these defeated soldiers, for they all knew the fearsomeness of this alien realm army, which hailed from the Feilong Domain. That was a highly prosperous great domain, teeming with experts and powerful figures, not much inferior to the Qingyang Domain.
And this particular army was the Feilong Domain's ever-victorious force, known as the Heavenly Dragon Army, boasting a strength of one hundred thousand. Throughout history, it had swept across the battlefields of the Domain War, crushing the armies of various great domains, always undefeated and unstoppable, truly terrifying, with a glorious record of achievements.
It could be said that on the Domain War battlefield, no one wished to encounter such a fearsome army—it was a nightmare legion.
Who would have thought that the army dispatched this time had actually run into this nightmare legion? Suffering a major defeat seemed almost inevitable.
However, when they reached about a hundred miles away, the Heavenly Dragon Army came to a complete halt, ceasing their pursuit. For this was the garrison ground of the Qingyang Domain's army, where countless warriors were stationed, ready to march out at any moment.
Even the Heavenly Dragon Army dared not directly charge into this territory; doing so would be certain death.
They merely watched coldly from afar as the Qingyang Domain's defeated soldiers returned to their own camp. The leaders among them even snorted coldly, shook their heads, and turned to leave.
This made many warriors on the Qingyang Domain's side clench their fists tightly, veins bulging, filled with immense anger, wanting to charge out and intercept this nightmare legion, annihilating them.
But this was merely a thought; no one could actually do it.
Even the high-ranking figures on the Qingyang Domain's divine peaks had cold glints in their eyes but issued no orders.
Although the Qingyang Domain's army could clearly mobilize in full force to intercept this nightmare legion, the Domain War battlefield had its own unwritten rules.
No great domain could deploy more than one-fifth of its total military strength to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression against any legion from an alien realm. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to declaring full-scale war on other great domains, triggering a true great domain war, with other domains rising up to attack.
This was the unwritten rule of the war zone, and the battles fought each day were, at most, minor skirmishes.
"Hmph, the people of the Feilong Domain have gone too far, truly bullying our Qingyang Domain," said the younger generation of the Qingyang Domain, who were in their prime, hot-blooded and furious at this sight, almost rushing out to give chase.
"Qinghua Marquis, Tianxue Marquis, Yang Marquis, although the Feilong Domain's Heavenly Dragon Army is fearsome, we cannot let them bully us like this. Moreover, we all need proper training. Why don't we each request permission from the higher-ups to lead a division of the army and engage the Heavenly Dragon Army?" proposed one of the leading young prodigies.
Qinghua Marquis also nodded solemnly: "Exactly. We happen to need such training. We all have life-protecting treasures bestowed by our elders, which can ensure our safety. Perhaps only by facing such a terrifying forbidden army can we maximally stimulate our own potential."
Immediately, the group made their decision and headed to the highest divine peak, directly requesting permission from the highest authorities there—
"Esteemed ones, we petition to lead our respective divisions of the army to launch an attack, pursue the Heavenly Dragon Army, and extinguish their arrogant demeanor."
Qinghua Marquis and several other Marquis Lord-level prodigies took the initiative to volunteer.
On the divine peak stood numerous powerful figures, their forms indistinct, shrouded in Dao marks, immensely powerful. They were the high-ranking figures of the Qingyang Domain's side, with world-shaking cultivation levels—at least at the Demi-Saint level or above, not lacking in supreme experts of the Saint Treasury Realm, such as Wang Shan, who could command the many powerful figures of the Qingyang Domain's camp.
Among them, there might even exist supreme commander figures of the Saint Lord level, standing there like towering divine peaks, radiating an overwhelmingly oppressive aura of the Great Dao.
Even these proud Marquis Lord-level young prodigies felt reverence facing such high-ranking existences who held the power of life and death over countless people, not daring to be the slightest bit arrogant or careless.
Regarding these young prodigies' request, the high-ranking figures nodded to each other, feeling that the Heavenly Dragon Army was indeed too arrogant and needed to have their demeanor extinguished.
One of them nodded and said solemnly: "Very well, you are permitted to launch the attack. Each of you shall lead a division of the Mystic-grade army and pursue the victory!"
The Qingyang Domain's camp had countless armies, their strengths divided into the four grades of Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow, with Heaven-grade being the strongest and Yellow-grade the weakest. Mystic-grade was stronger than Yellow-grade, and each division could have fifty thousand soldiers.
These younger generation members were prodigies from various major forces, each with extraordinary talent and powerful cultivation. Some had even reached the Divine Transformation Realm, an unprecedented level of strength.
Having these young prodigies lead the army to pursue the Heavenly Dragon Army was not without the intention of providing them training.
"Thank you, esteemed ones, for granting this favor!"
Immediately, led by Qinghua Marquis, the seven Marquis Lord-level powerors went to the camp, each taking command of a fifty-thousand-strong Mystic-grade army division, rumbling forth to pursue the Heavenly Dragon Army.
However, the high-ranking figures on the divine peak shook their heads at this moment, saying: "Although we've dispatched a Mystic-grade army of three hundred and fifty thousand, this expedition will likely end in regret."
"Indeed, the Heavenly Dragon Army is the Feilong Domain's invincible force, equivalent to our Qingyang Domain's Heaven-grade army. It cannot be underestimated. Sending several times more Mystic-grade divisions would only be sending them to their graves."
All the high-ranking figures nodded, believing that this pursuit by the young prodigies was merely a funeral procession. Yet they were all indifferent. These young prodigies were important figures cultivated by various major forces and must not come to harm, but they had life-protecting treasures and need not fear. However, the three hundred and fifty thousand troops would likely be completely sent to their graves.
Yet the population of each great domain often numbered in the billions, and the lives lost throughout the ages on the Domain War battlefield were countless. They had long grown accustomed to such sights, utterly indifferent, appearing quite cold.
Only Wang Shan furrowed his brows but said nothing.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a young figure also heading toward the Domain War battlefield—it was actually his martial uncle, Ye Chen, and the direction was unmistakably toward the Heavenly Dragon Army. This shocked him greatly. Could it be that Martial Uncle also intended to pursue the Heavenly Dragon Army?
"Meng Shan, quickly take the Primordial War Cavalry and follow from behind!" Wang Shan ordered solemnly.
Boom—
The terrifying Primordial War Cavalry set out!!
