Neither Dao Nu nor Azure Supreme Thearch was actually in Azure Supreme Thearch Peak!
Azure Supreme Thearch Peak was now in utter chaos. Dao Nu, Dao Nù, and Dao Leng were not around while even powerful elders such as Dao Meng had been deployed. The remaining elders left were not influential at all.
To kill Jiang Yi, almost all the Dao Clan formidable martial artists had been sent out. Dao Nu did not leave many formidable martial artists behind because he did not believe that anyone would dare attack the Dao Clan's base.
A considerable number of Azure Supreme Thearch Army soldiers were also patrolling outside the spatial zone of the Azure Region, and the Netherworld Realm would not be able to invade the Azure Region. As for the Heaven Primordial Domain great family clans; who would dare to cause trouble on Azure Supreme Thearch Peak? This was the place Azure Supreme Thearch had cultivated Dao while the Azure Supreme Thearch himself was in the Lost Maze Forest a few million kilometers away. Who would dare to fool about here?
However, no one expected someone like Jiang Yi to come; he had also come to kill the Dao Clan members in the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak. At this crucial time—with no one influential enough to call the shots, the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak was in a mess.
Inside the Azure Supreme Thearch Hall, thirty-over elders were bickering nonstop. They had long ago sent a request for aid. However, as Dao Nù and Dao Leng were both outside the spatial zone and entangled with Wei Pingping, how could the two send back a message?
Furthermore, no one knew where Dao Nu was now; he had not replied to their calls for help. Hence, these thirty-odd elders could only gather and discuss how to deal with Jiang Yi.
Of course, not all of these elders were fools. After receiving news of Jiang Yi's impending arrival, they had activated the Azure Supreme Thearch Army soldiers stationed in the Azure Supreme Thearch Valley five hundred thousand kilometers away.
Unfortunately, as they did not have Dao Nù's command token, they could only deploy a million soldiers over. This had been Dao Nù's rule: without his command token, only a million Azure Supreme Thearch Army soldiers could be called upon at any one time.
At the same time, these elders also started to gather their forces. All the Teleportation Formations in the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak were lighting up incessantly now as the old, young, and women of the Dao Clan were being sent away as reinforcements streamed in continuously.
These elders had never even thought of fleeing. This was the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak, the place that Azure Supreme Thearch had cultivated Dao back in the days. Even if everyone from the Dao Clan had to perish, they had to hold on to this place. If not, Azure Supreme Thearch would become the laughingstock of the entire world.
They did actually think of seeking the Azure Supreme Thearch's assistance. However, they didn't know where he was. Who was the Azure Supreme Thearch? Even Grand Elder Dao Meng wouldn't be qualified to know the Azure Supreme Thearch's whereabouts, right? Much less them.
They could only fight to the death, waiting for Dao Nu, Dao Nù, Dao Leng, and the others to return or for Dao Nu and Dao Nù to ask the Azure Supreme Thearch for help. Furthermore, these elders were not very clear about how strong Jiang Yi currently was. They thought that he was equivalent to a King-Ranked martial artist only. If they sat tight in the Azure Supreme Thearch City and sent out a few million soldiers, they didn't believe that these soldiers wouldn't be Jiang Yi's match!
"Report!"
One scout's voice rang out in the Azure Supreme Thearch City: "Jiang Yi is here!"
"What audacity! Let me go and kill this bastard dog—"
An anxious elder cursed as he flew outside, his killing aura and battle intent causing a commotion within the city. Many soldiers saw this elder flying out as they naturally followed him.
"Let's head out to battle."
Some elders in the hall shook their heads but had no choice but to follow suit. Originally, some of them had wanted to activate the powerful restrictions in the Azure Supreme Thearch City to withstand Jiang Yi's attacks for a while. Jiang Yi would need some time to break through the restrictions, and that would buy them time. However, since so many people were already rushing out, they would have to join in the fray first for now.
Groups of formidable martial artists flew up into the sky and stood upright above the huge Azure Supreme Thearch City. Behind them, rows of soldiers stood orderly. To be stationed here, these soldiers were naturally not weak and were at least God Thearchs; not a single God King was in sight. Furthermore, these soldiers were also standing in a rather peculiar manner, seemingly forming a strange formation. It was evident it was a combined-attack formation.
Thirty-odd elders as well as another ten-odd King-Ranked martial artists that had rushed over; forty-three men stood in front of the troops. Behind them was an orderly army, all wearing silver battle armor. A full two-million-four-hundred-thousand-strong army stood there while the Teleportation Formations were still lighting up as more joined every second.
So many formidable martial artists and soldiers filled the skies above the Azure Supreme Thearch City. All of their auras were surging, and they were fully equipped for battle. The air in the vicinity went still as the aura within the city beneath them grew repressing.
Many Dao Clan direct lineage young disciples that did not manage to teleport away in time or refused to leave watched up at the two-million-odd soldiers overhead with much confidence. They were raving to battle and couldn't wait to join in if they could.
Swish!
From away, a huge being flew forward. This being was thirty-foot tall and was as stalwart as a Godfiend; its entire body filled with vigor and energy. Although it was still a hundred-thousand-feet away, a murderous aura had traveled before it and enveloped the city.
"A mummy!"
Many had long heard rumors that Jiang Yi had a powerful mummy; they finally witnessed this for themselves. However, many of their eyes finally shifted and fixated on a red-haired male standing on the mummy's shoulder.
Compared to the mummy's body, that red-haired man felt very weak and small; it was like a small ant on the head of a huge elephant and might have easily been ignored.
However, at this moment, no one dared to belittle this young man. Countless eyes revealed their deep-seated hatred. From the Dao Clan's point of view, Jiang Yi's sins were unforgivable. Not only had he challenged the Dao Clan's reputation and dignity, but he had killed their first young master and shamed them. At this moment, he was actually brazen enough to openly kill his way up Azure Supreme Thearch Peak.
Although he was an enemy…!
Some Dao Clan disciples had to admit that Jiang Yi was indeed someone different; his mannerisms and airs were extraordinary.
One who stood on a giant's shoulder would become a giant himself. As Jiang Yi stood on the mummy, he felt very special; his aura was also very violent. With his red hair flaying and his dyed-red Heavenly Wind Armor shining—together with his angular features and his icy-cold eyes, he looked exceptionally attractive and awe-inspiring.
A Godfiend!
This was the first impression Jiang Yi gave people. Jiang Yi's gaze was very sharp like a knife; no one dared to match his gaze.
"Eh?"
Jiang Yi's gaze swept over the sky above the Azure Supreme Thearch City once and then again. A look of astonishment appeared on his face. Although there were more than two million soldiers above the Azure Supreme Thearch City, he had immediately ignored them. He was looking for Dao Nu and Azure Supreme Thearch. However, he could not detect their presence at all.
"Strange!"
Jiang Yi blinked. Could it be Dao Nu and Azure Supreme Thearch were trying to trick him? They were hiding now to launch a fatal attack on him? Or perhaps another plot was brewing?
"Jiang Yi, die!"
A furious howl startled Jiang Yi. One elder's battle saber lit up as he shouted, "Everyone, attack!"
Tsk-Tsk!
Over two million men unleashed their attacks. In that instance, the heavens shook as the spatial zone was torn; the sun and moon were dimmed. Screeching noises deafened everyone on the ground.
At this moment, many below thought that the world was about to be destroyed. The overwhelming aura made everyone feel as if it could destroy an entire Pan Universe Small Realm.
Countless divine senses swept over Jiang Yi, wanting to see how he could withstand this attack… how he was going to evade more than two million attacks. Would he be crushed into pieces under this assault?
However, Jiang Yi's actions completely bewildered many. He did not move an inch, and his mummy did not even hide. His mouth actually twitched into an arc as he looked devilish and stern.
He actually smiled.
