Chapter 311: Chapter 301 Who claims to be invincible, who dares to say they are undefeated?

The night sky should have been pitch black, devoid of light, dull and heavy.

Yet this night, countless Demons and Ferocious Beasts bore witness to a Purple Gold Sky and a host of Heavenly Soldiers.

And there, towering like an immeasurably high mountain, stood the peerless Demon of the era—Demonic Body Hong Yuan.

"The King has grown stronger again," said one.

"One day apart feels like three long years; the King’s progress is just too astonishing..." another remarked.

"Such speed, such heaven-reaching methods. A Saint, this is definitely the realm of a Saint!" exclaimed another.

The Zero Desolate Reinforcement Army was deeply shocked, their eyes wide as they observed Hong Yuan’s every move.

Even the venerable fifth-order great Demons found themselves unable to control their gazes, entirely unable to look away from Hong Yuan.

Brilliant purple light blossomed, with True Dragons and Divine Phoenixes dancing around.

Within the Ancient War Chariot, Hong Yuan shone with boundless radiance at this moment, like an Immortal God on earth.

But in reality, Hong Yuan was not as relaxed as they imagined; thankfully, it also wasn’t as difficult.

Though there were very few exceptional Demons who could reach the Saint realm, every one of them was like a chosen one of the era.

But Hong Yuan happened to be among them. What’s more, due to the special nature of the Food Tao Marks, he was even a bit stronger than his peers with Tianli!

However, even so, mobilizing the Food Tao Marks to activate the Holy Artifact, the Flood Gathering War Banner, was a big challenge for Hong Yuan.

Yet Hong Yuan could afford to spend his life force, especially when the benefits outweighed the costs; then he cared even less about it.

After all, his Life Span had now broken through the huge threshold of 2,500,000, sturdily advancing towards the 3,000,000 Life Span mark!

"Heavenly Demon Dismantling," he declared.

"Heavenly Demon Dismantling," he repeated.

Hong Yuan freely invoked the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Divine Power.

Every time the vast Demon Essence within him showed a tendency to wane, it would instantly return to fullness.

Therefore, it was Hong Yuan’s display of strength that astonished the Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals of the Zero Desolate Reinforcement Army.

Because the speed with which he led the Demons was entirely at the Saint level!

It wouldn’t be long before they would descend like divine soldiers upon the Xuanwu Battle Zone.

「...」

A beautiful Holy Artifact Secret Realm.

Streams flowed and waterwheels turned, while golden rice fields swayed with the wind.

Ancient trees, weathered and old, stretched their branches towards the sky, naturally forming a small pavilion to offer shade.

Underneath the branches sat the Mysterious Talisman Heaven Master and the Cloud Rock Martial Saint, facing each other.

In front of them was a worn wooden Faction Chess board.

Faction Chess, similar to Chinese chess and created by the Dragon Sun Emperor, is reputed to open the mind and soothe the heart.

Right now, the two of them were playing chess and conversing.

"People who fail to show up are like sand slipping through your fingers. Cloud Rock, why do you still cling to Butterfly Sword?" asked the Mysterious Talisman Heaven Master, picking up a chess piece representing "Metal" and casually placing it on the board.

"Butterfly Sword has already abandoned that Dragon Sword pest to deal with the little loach. Besides, it’s quite normal for a Martial Saint to be sacrificed in a great battle," responded Cloud Rock Martial Saint indifferently, clutching a piece representing "Earth."

Earth signified not just steadfast defense, but also weight, immense pressure!

The Mysterious Talisman Heaven Master paused for a moment, his eyes seemingly thoughtful, before changing the subject. "Since Butterfly Sword is resorting to underhanded tactics, it seems impossible now for the little loach to become the master of the Four Direction Phenomena Building."

"Of course, unless a Demon Saint personally participates in the Ten Thousand Domains battle, using immense Divine Power to shift the loach. Heaven Master, you’d better get ready for battle soon; the loach will be returning shortly," Cloud Rock Martial Saint said, a slight smile on his lips.

What our enemy aims to accomplish, we must endeavor to thwart.

What our enemy aims to destroy, we must endeavor to protect.

Before, they only felt that Xuan Guangqiao could not achieve the position of dominance in all directions, hence there was some slackness.

But now, putting in effort, how could the loach not be doomed?

「...」

「The Xuanwu Battle Zone.」

The fierce battle raged on, especially at the battleground of Wei Qin and Li Jianqiu.

"Temporal Tao Divine Power—Spring Autumn Changes!"

Wei Qin activated his Innate Divine Ability. His golden hair danced wildly as he swatted with his large hand, a peculiar force of years clinging to it.

"BOOM!"

A realm of the sky was clapped down by Wei Qin. Every inch of space aged rapidly, as if its life was being accelerated, shattering bit by bit and revealing black spatial cracks. These cracks, like black holes, swallowed everything.

Even the minds of the onlookers seemed to shatter.

I won’t lose again! I won’t lose again!!! Li Jianqiu roared in her heart.

She used her umbrella as a spear, pushing it to its limits. She paid the price of consuming half her vitality and her dark hair withering to exert her full strength.

The strange dark light emitted by Wei Qin was suddenly countered by a surge of red light...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

One after another, huge black cracks spread across the space.

The sky was like a shattered mirror, filled with numerous black fissures.

These cracks, resembling black holes, pulverized everything yet absorbed everything.

From the ranks of the Xuanwu Army, cries of despair rose; they were clearly overwhelmed by the enormity of the battle.

In the sky, Li Jianqiu and Wei Qin were still evenly matched!

"Where did this madwoman come from? Is Xuan Guangqiao worth all this?" Wei Qin furrowed his brow.

"You wouldn’t understand," Li Jianqiu replied in a grave tone.

"Heh heh..." Wei Qin sneered coldly and said no more.

He slowly took out an object from behind him, causing Li Jianqiu’s carp-like eyes to widen in shock.

At that moment, Li Jianqiu finally understood why the Zero Desolate Army’s impregnable defense formation had quietly crumbled.

"If I could break Xuan Guangqiao’s defense formation, I can naturally break his army again!"

Wei Qin raised the Holy Artifact in his hand high—the Four Seasons Clock!

This was a Temporal Tao Holy Artifact, possessing the mysterious ability to adjust everything to reach the seasonal states of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

But this was not what shocked Li Jianqiu; she clearly remembered that Wei Qin did not have a Holy Artifact with him.

"Four Seasons Clock, show your power! Let the world witness your greatness once more!" Wei Qin exclaimed fervently.

Although he was a Spring Cicada, a Temporal Tao Variant Seed, he had not yet evolved into the Spring Autumn Cicada.

For the Spring Autumn Cicada was a ninth-order Variant Seed, on par with a True Dragon!

Therefore, Wei Qin was likewise fascinated by the Great Power of the Four Seasons Clock.

The Four Seasons Clock left Wei Qin’s jade-like hand, hovering in midair. It expanded upon meeting the wind, growing into a massive Bronze Bell high in the void.

"DONG! DONG..."

With one ring of the bell, its sound reverberated through heaven and earth, startling all the Demons and sending a tremor through their bodies.

"What is this thing!?"

At that moment, both the Xuanwu Army and the Zero Desolate Army were jolted. Even the Demon Saints above Green Heaven were drawn to pay attention.

This grand sound, like the tolling of a great ancient bell, echoed across several neighboring seas.

Suddenly, Li Jianqiu’s face changed drastically. "Damn it, it’s actually reducing Life Span!?"

She lunged forward, but Wei Qin effortlessly deflected her.

At this rate, the total annihilation of the Zero Desolate Army is not just a fanciful tale.

「Elsewhere.」

Hong Yuan, who was leading the Zero Desolate Reinforcement Army to assist, caught the remnants of the bell’s sound, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

A Holy Artifact!?

He glanced at the Flood Gathering War Banner. The Purple Gold Ancient War Chariot split into two.

Hong Yuan drove the chariot that did not have the Flood Gathering War Banner, transforming into a bolt of purple lightning and racing toward the battlefield.

In just the blink of an eye, Hong Yuan’s figure vanished, leaving only the Flood Gathering War Banner continuing to carry the Zero Desolate Reinforcement Army.

「...」

"Li Jianqiu, become my Tao companion. Together, we will surely be invincible!"

Wei Qin looked at Li Jianqiu, extending his invitation.

He had to admit, he was attracted to Li Jianqiu’s tenacity.

Such a fine wife would be like acquiring ten thousand acres of immortal land.

But just then, a formidable figure, seemingly dominating the heavens and earth, appeared in the sky.

"Who claims to be invincible? Who dares to speak of being unbeatable?"
