Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Within Border City, numerous battlefields had erupted.

In the mountains, before the City Lord's mansion, and outside the major military camps, the fighting was incredibly fierce. The sounds of clashing swords never ceased, constantly echoing across the city.

The sounds traveled far, spreading into the distance, causing the mountains and rivers to resonate with the clang of swords.

The experts from the Taiyi, Xuanbing, and Xuesha Sects were each intercepted, now engaged in intense battles with their opponents, fighting to a fever pitch.

Jun Wuxie charged toward a certain expert with an imposing aura, but when he attacked, his power was noticeably weaker than before.

This made people realize that he had passed his peak and was now on the decline.

He was originally attacking the Overlord Saint expert blocked by Jian Xu, but before he could kill this Overlord Saint, a huge commotion came from the battlefield where Duguru Yan was.

There, countless figures launched attacks from all directions against the gray-haired elder of the Taiyi Sect, but the elder instantly released a domain, enveloping Duguru Yan.

Immediately afterward, cracks appeared all over the domain's barrier, and deafening rumbles echoed from within.

The moment the domain collapsed, two figures flew out simultaneously.

The gray-haired elder was covered in blood, his dark Daoist robe torn in countless places. He had suffered countless cuts, his face pale, and his expression filled with shock and rage.

Duguru Yan was also pale, with several sword wounds on her body, the crimson blood staining her dress.

She broke out of the domain, her body sliding a long distance in the air before stabilizing. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and a mouthful of blood spurted from her throat.

Jun Wuxie hurriedly rushed to Duguru Yan's battlefield, joining forces to besiege the gray-haired elder.

The gray-haired elder, already severely injured, knew that his situation was hopeless and his life was in danger. His eyes revealed a fierce look, and he let out a hysterical roar.

"You surnamed Jun, you will pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold for your arrogance!"

He completely abandoned defense, his attacks all aimed at trading blow for blow.

However, under the combined assault of Jun Wuxie and Duguru Yan, the gray-haired elder failed to achieve his goal.

A sharp short blade severed his arm, and an overbearing Chaos Golden Fist imprint pierced his heart, causing his aura to instantly weaken. He stood in the air with wide eyes, a large amount of blood foam flowing from his mouth.

At that moment, Jun Wuxie moved forward like a stream of light, shattering the gray-haired elder's brow bone with a finger, piercing through his head, and a stream of blood shot out from the back of his head.

The gray-haired elder's body twitched, his pupils dilated, his primordial spirit was killed, his soul collapsed, and he died completely.

Jun Wuxie waved his sleeve, taking the gray-haired elder's body into his cave.

"Are you alright?"

Jun Wuxie looked at Duguru Yan. The sword wounds on her body were very deep, already injuring her internal organs.

"What 'you, you'? Does this lady not have a name?"

Duguru Yan lightly bit her blood-stained red lips, her eyes bewitching, her voice making one's bones go numb.

Jun Wuxie ignored her, turning and rushing to other battlefields.

In the other battlefields, the combatants were also covered in blood.

Just as he and Duguru Yan killed the gray-haired elder, Jian Chen, Jian Xu, Di Hui, and Zhao Wenting were all seriously injured in battle, but they also severely injured their opponents.

Jun Wuxie returned to Jian Xu's battlefield, while Duguru Yan rushed to Di Hui's battlefield to help them kill the enemy.

"Wonderful, truly wonderful."

The lurking observers almost laughed out loud.

Today's events were completely unexpected, a great surprise for them.

"Now that things are a foregone conclusion, send this rune memory stone out of the city and personally deliver it to the protectors."

"Yes!"

Someone disappeared into the void, quietly leaving the city.

These people were all very high in realm, all being Overlord Saints of the Lesser Celestial Realm.

They came from the Seven Killings Tower, and their concealment techniques were naturally exceptional.

The battle within the city continued, and as time passed, the fighting became increasingly brutal.

Although the Overlord Saint experts of the Taiyi Sect, Xuanbing Sect, and Xuesha Alliance were constantly decreasing, those fighting them were also scarred, covered in blood, panting heavily after killing enemies, their eyes dim, and their faces weak.

… …

Several hundred miles outside Border City, on the border of the Wu'an Dynasty, the military camps here stretched for a hundred miles, seemingly endless.

Wu'an had gathered a large army here.

In light of the previous two failures, they had transferred most of the dynasty's military power this time, totaling nearly fifty million Rune-Armored Soldiers.

Since the Wu'an Dynasty could not cultivate a large number of Rune-Armored Soldiers in a short period, they were particularly cautious this time and did not rashly launch a strong attack, but were looking for an opportunity.

The Seven Killings Tower, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and the Absolute Soul Valley, the three top sects of Hanzhou, also attached great importance to this. After the last failure, they immediately sent a large number of experts.

What they did not expect was that their departure from the sect to Qingzhou was actually leaked, and the Taiyi Sect and other forces learned of it and also sent a large number of experts.

In the end, they could only stop at the border, desperately seeking a way to break through the city.

Now, the intelligence agency arranged by the Seven Killings Tower in Border City sent someone back to bring the latest news.

The Grand Marshal of Wu'an's army immediately ordered someone to invite the experts from the three sects.

Before long, dozens of Overlord Saint experts of the Middle Celestial Realm arrived.

They took the rune memory stone and released the recorded images inside, becoming more and more shocked as they watched.

Just half an hour ago, they received a message from the spirit talisman, but that was just a simple text message, lacking the impact of seeing the images with their own eyes.

They were still wondering if the intelligence agency lurking in Border City was exaggerating, as it was hard to believe there could be such a young prodigy in the world.

Even if he was a wanted person secretly pursued by the demon race, he shouldn't be so heaven-defying.

Now, seeing what was recorded in the images, from that Jun Wuxie appearing in the sky above the city to him fighting nine opponents and still gaining the upper hand, to the defeat of the experts from the three sects, their unsuccessful attempts to attack the mountains where Qingyun was located and the City Lord's mansion, and then their attack on the military camp, which was still intercepted. In the final scene, they saw the fall of an Overlord Saint expert of the Middle Celestial Realm, jointly killed by that Jun Wuxie and a woman who was unbelievably enchanting.

"This person is too terrifying. He is still low in realm now, yet he can kill an Overlord Saint of the Middle Celestial Realm and fight against many opponents! Calculating the time, how long has it been since he first came to this Border City?"

"That's right. He was undergoing the Saint King tribulation at the time, and after a trip to the ancient tomb, he was already in the Great Saint Realm. This person not only has heaven-defying talent, but his luck is also prosperous, and he cannot be measured by common sense!"

"Such a person must not be given time to grow any further. In a few more years, who can say what kind of opportunities he will obtain? At that time, I am afraid no one will be able to do anything to him. In addition, the Taiyi, Xuanbing, and Xuesha Sects are secretly backing him, coveting what we want to obtain. In that case, our expectations will eventually be in vain, and we will have paid such a great price for nothing!"

"Let's jointly write a talisman letter and transmit the message to the elders who are rushing here as quickly as possible, so that they can come as early as possible using secret methods. When the time comes, we will break through Border City, and the elders will be able to come here and take charge first. It will be too late when the elders of the Taiyi and other sects arrive, and the ownership of Border City will no longer be in dispute. Their competition with us will be considered to have fallen into a disadvantage. In the future, we only need to use this city as a base and advance step by step, and Dagan will have no danger to defend!"

These Overlord Saint experts immediately condensed the laws to write the talisman letter, and then ordered the Grand Marshal of Wu'an to send troops to Border City.

… …

At this time, within Border City, the Xuanbing in the sky shattered, and crimson blood bloomed.

An expert from the Xuanbing Sect was killed!

"You surnamed Jun, we will be waiting for you in the Yellow Springs! You foolishly fought us to the death, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own. The Wu'an army will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city! Your retribution is coming, and this city will be plunged into misery, hahaha!"

The Xuanbing Sect expert let out a curse-like roar before his death.

His body fell from the sky and was taken into Jun Wuxie's cave.

The city became quiet, so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

Killing the experts from the three sects was originally something to celebrate, but now, no one cheered.

People all looked at Jun Wuxie, whose face was covered with wrinkles and whose head was full of gray hair, and were very worried about his condition.

His old and decaying body swayed slightly as he landed in a military camp in the city.

"Lord Jun!"

The military camp's commander and senior generals hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Looking at his old state, their hearts sank.

"Guard the command tent. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter!"

They helped Jun Wuxie into the command tent, and just as they were about to help him lie down on the bed, Jun Wuxie suddenly straightened his body, and his weak state was swept away.

"Lord Jun… …"

They were stunned, and Jun Wuxie gestured, whispering, "How could a few Overlord Saints possibly make me pay such a price? I deliberately did it for the eyes lurking in the city to see. They must have already transmitted the news to the Wu'an camp."

"Lord Jun, do you mean to lure them to attack the city?"

These generals led troops to fight, and battlefield duels and strategic maneuvers were all done by wise men, and they immediately understood what he meant.

"That's right, luring the Wu'an army to attack the city, the main purpose is to lure their Rune-Armored Soldiers away from the military camp and into the valley."

"Lord Jun, please forgive us for being ignorant, what exactly do you want to do?"

The generals looked at each other, and then looked at him blankly.

Jun Wuxie came to the war sandbox, pointed to the area outside the city, and said, "Both sides of Border City are branches of the Eastern Hengduan Mountains, a natural barrier."

He pointed to one end of the hundreds-of-miles-long valley and said, "Lure the Wu'an army in, and then cut off their retreat here, so that the Wu'an army can be completely trapped in this area. As far as I know, after several major battles, Wu'an has lost tens of millions of troops. Judging from the national strength of the Wu'an Dynasty and the speed of cultivating Rune-Armored Soldiers, if we can take them all down this time, for a period of time, even with the help of the top sects of Hanzhou, Wu'an will find it difficult to assemble an army of more than ten million Rune-Armored Soldiers. At that time, we can counterattack at any time and take the Wu'an Imperial City directly!"

"Ah?"

The generals present were all stunned. It took them a long while to recover, and they said in trembling voices, "Lord Divine, are you saying that we will one day invade the territory of Wu'an and take their imperial city?"

"That's right! Qingzhou must be unified, otherwise the wars will continue endlessly. Although we are strong now, Wu'an would not dare to invade on its own, but it will inevitably be used as a tool by certain forces, just like now."

"Lord Divine has great foresight and is wise and mighty! For so many years, the border has never been peaceful, whether it is the border with the Wu'an Dynasty or with other countries, there are often frictions and conflicts. Especially in some places without border towns to guard, the people in some small villages are miserable, living a life of uncertainty. Taking Wu'an and unifying Qingzhou is the only way to achieve lasting peace. At that time, Qingzhou will be full of the dynasty's people, wars can be quelled, and people can live and work in peace!"

"The Wu'an regime has never been peaceful, and has always had the ambition to swallow the mountains and rivers of the Great Qian! Thinking of being able to break through the imperial city of Wu'an in the future, this subject's heart is a little eager!"

These military generals referred to themselves as subjects in front of Jun Wuxie, and their attitude was self-evident. They regarded him as the future king of the Great Qian, and also recognized him from the bottom of their hearts as their king.

"However, if we want to break through the imperial city of Wu'an, we need to be able to deal with the three top sects of Hanzhou that support Wu'an. Currently, the enemies we face also include the other three major sects, tens of millions of Wu'an talisman-armored troops on the border line, and dozens of peak-level Overlord Realm experts. They are not easy to deal with..."

The commander of the military camp pointed to the place marked by Jun Wuxie just now and said, "Lord Divine, please forgive this subject's ignorance, how can our army bypass the Wu'an army?"
