"Super Soul Battle Art!!"
The five Earth Venerables entered the Martial God Realm simultaneously, firmly pinning down you and Hua Wuyan, preventing the two of you from stopping the movements of the Dragonkin army.
"Sword Master! Lingyue! Big Brother! Cheng Qian! Quickly lead the Martial Kings and Martial Saints to defend the valley!"
The Dragonkin army marched directly toward the valley situated between Bixia Peak and Qisong Peak.
Here lay a small array, hidden beneath layers of sand and vegetation, flickering dimly.
This was one of the array cores of the Thread of Sky Grand Array.
An array like the Thread of Sky was essentially not a single formation, but a combination of numerous arrays arranged according to specific laws, forming a complex array system.
The terrain here was narrow, flanked by towering giant peaks made of incredibly sturdy rocks that were difficult to destroy.
It was the very definition of a chokepoint where one man could hold off ten thousand.
It was the array core location you had specifically chosen.
The ordinary soldiers of the Human Realm Allied Forces did not need to guard it; it was enough for experts like the Sword Master to hold the valley entrance.
The war transitioning from three-dimensional to two-dimensional was indeed much more advantageous for you.
Otherwise, if the Dragonkin simply flew in from above the valley, it would be extremely difficult to defend against them.
There were also quite a few experts among the Dragonkin.
The five Earth Venerables were five Martial Saints capable of using the Super Soul Battle Art, and there were still many ordinary Martial Saints in the expeditionary force.
Using the word "ordinary" before "Martial Saint" was truly inappropriate.
Even with powerful Martial Saints like the Sword Master and Li Lingyue leading the battle, the experts from the Five Regions and the Demon Race were constantly at a disadvantage in this fight to defend the valley entrance, with people dying from time to time.
The Dragonkin merely lost their ability to fly; they were completely unaffected in all other aspects.
"Sword Heart Like a Song!!"
The Sword Master was like a dazzling star, his sword light illuminating three thousand miles.
The five Earth Venerables, who were busy holding back you and Hua Wuyan, all had their attention drawn by the Sword Master.
"Huh? How did this person..."
It seemed something had happened to them.
However, the battle was too intense, leaving no time for careful observation.
One Earth Venerable broke away from the fight and issued an order to the entire army.
"Fools!! Why keep attacking that narrow valley entrance! Blow up the mountain for me!!"
A group of Dragon Saints joined forces, attempting to destroy the mountain peaks.
The four great Demon Ancestors immediately threw themselves forward, ramming into them with their heads.
"Dragonkin Race! Give me back my Demon Realm!!!"
Throughout this war, the Demon Race was filled with absolute rage, fighting with no regard for their own lives.
Following the Demon Ancestors, the members of the Demon Race surged forward one after another, resisting with their lives to stop the Dragonkin experts from destroying the mountains surrounding the array core.
The Earth Venerable issued another order.
"Fools!! Is the Annihilation Cannon over there just for show?! Blast it open!!"
Through the Xiaoyao Token, you promptly relayed the orders issued by the Earth Venerables to the Sword Master and the others.
The Sword Master was extremely decisive, commanding all the Martial Saints and Martial Kings to ensure they entangled the Dragonkin experts they were fighting.
This way, if the Dragonkin army used heavy weapons to destroy this area, they would end up attacking their own generals and experts as well.
Of course, the Sword Master and his group would also be attacked.
But there was no other choice. In this war, the Human Realm Allied Forces were the weaker side. Any one-for-one trade would bring immense benefits to the overall situation.
The Sword Master and the others were also ordering their subordinate soldiers to stop the Dragonkin army from firing the cannon.
If this shot landed, it would likely destroy the array core along with it. It was best not to let them fire successfully.
When it came to the desire for promotion, the Dragonkin Race was united from top to bottom.
The soldiers operating the Annihilation Cannon saw that their superiors were engaging the enemy right at the bombardment zone. Firing this shot would blow up both the target and their bosses.
They instantly got excited.
"General! Hurry and leave that mountain! We're about to fire!!"
They shouted anxiously, but their hands moved with equal urgency.
"Why is this shell so heavy? Quick, quick, quick! Lend a hand! Hurry up!"
The material of the Dragonkin's Annihilation Cannon was also composed of squirming flesh and blood tissues.
It stood hundreds of meters tall and spanned over a thousand meters wide, relying on hundreds of otherworldly behemoths to pull it forward.
After the shell was loaded, the firing angle had to be adjusted. Otherwise, firing it wouldn't hit their bosses—no, wouldn't hit the target.
But right at this moment, martial artists from all over the Five Regions were rapidly converging toward the Annihilation Cannon's position.
"Brothers! We must stop them from firing! If the Thread of Sky Array is destroyed, we will lose our chance to fight these aliens head-on!"
The newcomer was Martial King Sun Chengen, riding a black spirit horse, galloping through the mountain forests as swiftly as the wind.
Beside him were his brothers-in-arms who had gone through life and death with him for many years.
Most of them were now gray-haired and in their twilight years.
Sun Chengen led this unit of personal guards in multiple charges, but they were consistently unable to break through the defensive forces surrounding the Annihilation Cannon.
Seeing the terrifying barrel of the Annihilation Cannon slowly rising, Sun Chengen touched a string of cloth bags at his waist.
"There's no other way. We can only forcefully blow it open!"
Sun Chengen tore off the string of cloth bags, which contained Stellar Explosives from the Star Region.
This item could be considered the most powerful thermal weapon in the Human Realm.
The key was that it required no specific skill from the user; as long as one knew how to ignite it, anyone could unleash this earth-shattering explosion.
Not only did Sun Chengen have Stellar Explosives, but everyone present carried them. It was everyone's last resort.
Thanks to the Resource Balancing Plan you organized in your early years, Stellar Explosives were able to circulate from the Star Region to the Five Regions.
Sun Chengen threw the explosive pack and used his martial arts to ignite it from a distance.
Although the power of the explosion was massive...
...the Dragonkin Race protected the Annihilation Cannon securely. Seeing an object flying over from a distance, they would either shoot it down in advance or activate their defensive barriers.
"General, this won't work! If we want to blow up their Annihilation Cannon, the only way is to detonate it up close!"
"But wouldn't that be a point of no return?"
The group of old veterans looked at each other and smiled.
"Hahaha! General! We are all old men now. If we don't go out with a bang on the battlefield, are we supposed to die gasping for air in a sickbed?"
"My family is all in the Five Regions. For their sake, I am willing to lay down this old life of mine. It's worth it!!"
"General! The wars we participated in the past were for those royals and nobles who live detached from the mortal world! But today, we fight for ourselves!"
Sun Chengen's personal guards rode their fierce horses and charged out.
Sun Chengen had a higher cultivation realm than them and could have stopped them, but he didn't.
At this moment, his heart ached more than anyone else's.
But he soon found peace, because he knew that he would be following in their footsteps.
"Rumble!!"
Accompanied by a massive explosion that echoed across the entire battlefield, and a continuous chain of mushroom clouds...
Sun Chengen's personal guards used their own lives to blow open the outer defenses of the Annihilation Cannon.
Sun Chengen followed closely behind, leaving a trail of dust as he charged through the breach, heading straight for the Annihilation Cannon.
"Ahhh!!!"
With his old comrades blown to pieces, Sun Chengen was overflowing with monstrous fury.
At this moment, even though he was only a Martial King, not even the Dragon Saint near the City-Annihilating Cannon could stop the charge he unleashed at the cost of his own life.
"Explode!!!"
With a fierce thrust of his palm, Sun Chengen slammed the Star Explosives directly into the cannon's barrel, igniting them the very instant they left his hand.
BOOM!!!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
