Chapter 54: 54. War
"Brother Yin Haoyu, why are you shouting early in the morning?" Yin Hao after he woke up from the sleep.
"Do you know the consequences of your actions?" Yin Haoyu reprimanded him angrily.
"Can you tell me what did I do?"
"Why did you order Williams to kill Yang Wudi?"
"When did I give such an order? It wasn\'t me."
"But Yang Wudi died in the secret realm expedition, and his father was broken to the supreme realm. They are preparing for war with us. Yang Chen is adamant about eliminating us."
"Brother, you know about my personality; I would never do such a thing. They must be doing this to wage war with us."
"I don\'t know about that, but go and prepare for war. Order all the elders from outside to come immediately and contact our allies for help. We need to survive this catastrophe."
"Okay, brother. I will act immediately."
Yin Hao left the place after saying it.
Yin Haoyu fell into deep thought after that. He is the sect master of the Nine Star Sect and a Saint Emperor realm powerhouse. But this sudden war made him afraid since they had to face a supreme-tier powerhouse.
The gap between the saint and the supreme realm is bigger than the gap between heaven and earth.
\'I hope some of our allies help during this war.\' Yin Haoyu thought. He knew the chances of their sect winning this war were almost impossible, so the only way to survive would be to ask for help from others.
\'Maybe I should personally visit and ask for help.\' he thought and left the sect. He handed the matter related to war to his brother.
SUPREME SLAUGHTER PALACE
\'Where did things start to go wrong?\' Anna calmly analyzed the situation.
All the problems started after she decided to betray Kai. The moment she accepted Heavenly Dao\'s offer, it was over between her and Kai, and there was no room for reconciliation.
The Heavenly Dao knew that Kai set up a trap for her in the form of Williams, so it gave her the promise to help revive her parents in the future to turn her against Kai.
The heavenly dao doesn\'t want to pay any extra price for making her work, so it tempts her to use the goal, and she falls for it.
But all of them became useless, and she became an enemy of Kai. The heavenly dao also abandoned her.
\'I will make the heavens pay in the future for using me like this.\' Anna thought angrily. She was manipulated twice, and both times she knew she was nothing more than a pawn, but she wasn\'t able to escape her fate.
\'I should start preparing for the war now.\'
Her thinking became cautious after this incident, and she left a spare avatar just in case she got killed on the battlefield.
Three passed in the blink of an eye, and almost all the preparations for war were over.
"Are you ready to fight for the glory and honor of the sect?" The grand elder asked in a voice that everyone could hear.
"We are ready to fight for the glory of the sect."
"We are ready to fight for the glory of the sect."
The disciples and elders stood legion by legion and shouted.
The first legion was composed of disciples from the outer sect, and there were almost fifteen thousand disciples alone in this legion.
The second legion is composed of the inner sect and core disciples, and there are almost five thousand disciples in this legion.
The third legion is made up of elites; the deacons and elders are in this legion, making a total of seven hundred.
The final legion consists of seven elders, including the sect master and grand elder, making them the main combat force of the war.
"Disciples, start shipping the boat; we will win this war and come back safely." The sect master suddenly arrived and announced the start of the war.
Soon, a lot of warships that were capable of flying arrived. There are more than 1000 warships that have arrived; they are used to transport the army.
These warships are also capable of attacking and can easily kill a divine realm cultivator if the attack is successful. Hitting a divine realm cultivator isn\'t easy, but they are considered a strategic resource since they can annihilate all lower-level cultivators.
Soon, all the disciples from Legion One and Legion Two boarded the warship. The sect master, grand elder, and the remaining five elders moved with the warships to avoid any sneak attacks.
Soon, they arrived before the Nine Star Sect.
"The Slaughter Palace has come to wage war against us; prepare for the war. Start the sect protection formation," Yin Haoyu said to the elder.
They also have almost the same number of disciples, but they are lacking in power. They only have six main combat powers, including Yin Haoyu, and there is no supreme realm powerhouse.
Soon, the disciples responsible activated the formation by using saint-grade spirit stones.
A very big protective barrier formed around the entire sect, and soon another barrier formed. Like this, a total of nine barriers covered the entire sect.
The cost of maintaining the barrier is very high; it requires a million Saint-grade spirits to maintain them for a day. So it was only used at desperate times.
A million Saint-Grade spirit stones are almost eighty percent of their entire wealth.
"Disciples and elders, we will take advantage of the formation and start the attack now. So, you guys should be ready for the battle." Yin Haoyu said this and left with other elders to face the powerhouses from the opposite side.
The formation that was activated just now was called Mountain Protection Formation; it is a Tier 4 formation capable of withstanding the attacks of Saint-Realm experts.
But if six saint emperor realm experts and a supreme realm expert used their strength to attack the formation, it would not last long and would break in a single attack.
Yin Haoyu and others arrived outside the formation and met with Yang Chen and Yang Liwei.
"Do you think a war on such a scale is necessary now?" Yin Haoyu asked because he wanted to avoid war somehow.
"Do you think after this much preparation, the war can be stopped? Even if it can be stopped, I won\'t allow you and your family to exist in this world anymore." Yang Chen replied with a sneer.
Yin Haoyu immediately activated his domain and got ready for the fight. He knew talk at this stage would be useless and would waste time.
The surrounding environment changed, and it soon became an icy hell. His domain is called the spirit-eroding domain, and it is capable of eroding the soul using elements.
Yang Chen activated his slaughter domain, and it overwhelmed Yin Haoyu\'s domain. The place that was covered by ice and snow melted, and the blood river started to form. Killing intent suppressed the opponent\'s soul and Qi\'s energy.
"Elders, start the fusion," Yin Haoyu ordered immediately.
The elders that came with him activated their domain and fused it with his domain. His domain escaped the oppression, and it suppressed them.
"Okay, let\'s start our battle." Yang Chen said.
Both sides activated their domains and started fighting each other. The fusion technique used by the Nine Star Sect is their unique technique, and it is useful in group battles.
The fusion of six domains made Slaughter Palace lose its advantage in terms of domain. Even Yang Chen\'s domain didn\'t get an advantage since he didn\'t have time to upgrade his domain.
Yin Haoyu faced off against Yang Chen, and Yin Hao faced off against Yang Liwei. The remaining elders started fighting against each other.
Yin Haoyu isn\'t capable of defeating Yang Chen, but he can hold him back for some time until backup arrives.
Now, at the formation around the sect, The warships are firing using the cannons placed on them. They use spirit stones as fuel to fire, the shot is destructive, but compared to the mountain protection formation, it isn\'t enough.
Soon, the disciples also started firing long-range weapons to break the formation.
They weren\'t able to fight back, and they could only maintain the formation nervously. The incoming attack increased more and more, and cracks also started to form in the formation.
Seeing the situation, divine realm cultivators also made their move for the first time. They manipulated their law and attacked the barrier.
Some launched a fire arrow, some attacked by sending a lightning sword, and some attacked by using wind blades. They manipulated the law to their desire and attacked the formation.
The crack started to open up at a faster rate, and soon the first formation got broken.
"Good, there are only 8 formations left now. Divine realm cultivators, don\'t use all your energy and use it in critical times." A senior elder said.
The Divine realm cultivator stopped attacking, and the warship started its attack again.
After three hours of doing the same thing, they broke six formations, and only three were left to break.
The official battle will start at that time, but before they can start attacking, a man suddenly appears without any presence.
Everybody stopped their battle and focused on the man.
"Yang Chen, how about stopping the war? It is meaningless to continue this war since you will win. You can take all the resources from them and leave their lives; there are a lot of innocent lives being harmed due to this war."
