Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

After ending his call with the Jade Emperor, Qin Le did not leave immediately. Instead, he used his spatial concealment technique again to silently slip back into the palace hidden in the void.

He and the Jade Emperor needed to figure out exactly how many troops those intelligent chaotic beasts would deploy in this operation.

He still held the jade pendant that connected him to the Jade Emperor, and activated the real-time video function—an invisible divine connection that simultaneously transmitted everything he saw to the Jade Emperor, who was far away on another battlefield.

Before long, Qin Le, not knowing exactly what the Chaos Beasts had gone to prepare, returned one after another to the hall where they had previously held discussions.

The quasi-saint level Flame Bull was already perched high on the platform, seemingly waiting to gather.

As the last wisp of chaotic energy returned to its place, the Flame Bull slowly rose, its deep voice echoing in the hall: "The time has come. Let's go."

After speaking, it opened its mouth and spat out a gray-black flame. The flame did not burn any physical objects, but instead licked and melted the space in front of it, creating a huge spatial portal with a diameter of over tens of feet and ominous black flames leaping at its edges.

The Flame Bull took the lead, its massive body stepping into the space without any hindrance.

The remaining twenty-odd intelligent chaotic beasts followed closely behind, entering in an orderly fashion without the slightest delay.

Seeing this, a hint of seriousness flashed across Qin Le's eyes.

These intelligent chaotic beasts are not only far stronger than those traitors, but also more cunning and cautious in their actions.

Even though the target city, Nebula City, is ostensibly guarded by only one Golden Immortal, this Quasi-Saint level Flame Bull personally took the lead, clearly intending to ensure the operation's success with overwhelming force.

As the last chaotic beast disappeared into the spatial gate, the Jade Emperor's voice came from the Divine Jade, carrying a complex meaning: "So audacious, yet so cautious... we have truly underestimated them."

"Can you stop them?" Qin Le asked in a deep voice, his usual relaxed demeanor gone.

The Jade Emperor's voice carried a hint of helplessness: "Preventing them from destroying the formation and rescuing some of the suppressed Chaos Beasts... I'm afraid it's impossible to do so completely. But they have absolutely no chance of taking this opportunity to cause large-scale casualties or destruction in Nebula City."

The lack of top-tier combat power was clearly exposed at this moment.

Chaos Beasts are completely different from traitors.

Although traitors possess the power of chaos, their foundation ultimately originates from the Three Realms. When fighting against cultivators of the same realm, they are often no match for orthodox cultivators of the Three Realms. If they encounter exceptionally powerful individuals like Erlang Shen or Nezha, they may even be killed by those of higher realms.

However, the Chaos Beast is a purely foreign creature, and the chaotic aura surrounding it naturally has a strong weakening or even immunity effect on attacks from immortal laws below the same realm.

Unless one has comprehended the art of war, unites a large army into battle formations, and uses the power of the art of war to resonate with the way of all living beings, one can effectively inflict damage.

Even the Jade Emperor, the strongest of the Quasi-Saints, would need about three moves to kill a Chaos Beast of the same level in a one-on-one fight; he could hardly achieve an instant kill.

As for Li Jiuyuan?

She had already comprehended the Great Dao, and could not be regarded as an ordinary quasi-saint.

Now that he has shed the burden of countless killings throughout the ages, his combat power is even more unfathomable.

Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's words, Qin Le understood and said, "In that case, when they return, I will try to keep as many Golden Immortals as possible."

"Alright, you can handle it yourself." The Jade Emperor's voice returned to calm, even carrying a hint of a smile.

A Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beast might not mean much to the Jade Emperor, but for the vast number of soldiers in the Heavenly Realm, each one less would alleviate the pressure on the front lines.

If Qin Le can weaken the enemy's fighting force here, that would naturally be a good thing.

Qin Le did not hang up the communication. While maintaining his stealth, he chatted casually with the Jade Emperor, quietly waiting for the group of intelligent chaotic beasts that had gone out on a mission to return.

Both he and the Jade Emperor wanted to know what kind of ritual would be used to transform the rescued, mindless Chaos Beasts into individuals with independent wills.

Meanwhile, in Nebula City, in the core area of ​​the battlefield outside the city.

Yue Cijing wore light silver armor, her short hair was neat, and she looked heroic and dashing.

She stood in mid-air, surrounded by five ancient military flags of different colors, fluttering and rustling in the wind.

Centered on her, 50,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, whose minimum cultivation level was at least at the Celestial Immortal realm, formed a massive and exquisite battle formation, their auras intertwined, and their murderous intent soared into the sky.

Below them were more than twenty Chaos Beasts of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, which were being suppressed by the power of the battle formation and were constantly emitting silent roars, as well as hundreds of Golden Immortal level Chaos Beasts that were struggling incessantly.

Originally, Yue Cijing was commanding the army to systematically annihilate and wipe out the suppressed enemies.

But at this moment, all attacks have ceased, and the entire battle formation has shifted to a completely defensive and restraining posture, ready for battle.

Because, almost simultaneously, two enormous spatial portals opened above their heads!

A strange, gray-black flame burned along the edge of a portal, emanating a repulsive aura that shared the same origin as the Chaos Beast below, clearly indicating that it was an enemy, not a friend.

The other portal was filled with clear, celestial light, stable and vast. The immense celestial power that maintained the portal was all too familiar to Yue Cijing—it was the aura of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden!

After a brief silence, the enemy and reinforcements arrived simultaneously!

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, clad in gleaming silver armor and wielding a silver spear, was the first to step out from the celestial portal.

Behind her stood a full 100,000 elite celestial warriors, exuding a chilling aura and commanding an orderly formation!

Five more ancient and imposing military flags swirled slowly around her.

Almost at the same time, the massive body of the Flame Bull, along with more than twenty intelligent chaotic beasts of various shapes, surged out from the portal burning with black flames!

Seeing that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had arrived so quickly, a clear look of surprise flashed in the Flame Ox's giant eyes, which were burning with chaotic flames.

But this surprise was quickly replaced by a resolute determination—even if the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden herself arrived, she could not stop their actions today!

"According to plan, proceed!" The Flame Bull roared, its sound waves stirring the clouds in all directions.

Before the roar had even faded, its enormous body, wreathed in flames, hurtled towards the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden like a burning meteor!

At the same time, two slightly smaller Chaos Beasts beside it, whose auras were also at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, formed a pincer attack on the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in coordination with the Flame Ox!

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's face was cold and serene, showing no fear. She brandished her silver spear, and a clear, resonant dragon's roar echoed across the battlefield. "Form ranks! Engage the enemy!"

The 100,000 heavenly soldiers instantly sprang into action, unfolding like a sophisticated and massive war machine. In the blink of an eye, they enveloped the charging Flame Bull and the two Great Luo Golden Immortal Chaos Beasts, along with their path of attack, into an even more complex and murderous giant military formation!

"attack!"

With a command from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the auras of 100,000 heavenly soldiers were linked together, and their Dao principles resonated. Countless dazzling divine powers and spells, containing the power of destruction, crashed down on the three-headed Chaos Beast surrounded at the core, like a reversed galaxy!

Boom boom boom—!

A violent explosion and energy shock erupted inside the battle formation, the light was blinding, and fragments of Dao principles scattered everywhere.

That combined attack, powerful enough to make even ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals pale, ripped apart the chaotic protective aura on the bodies of the Flame Bull and other beasts, leaving clearly visible wounds on their tough bodies!

The highest level of battle instantly reached a fever pitch!

At the same time, the Moon Mirror below also moved.

"Change formation, hold your ground, engage in close combat!" She waved her command flag, her clear voice resounding throughout the 50,000 soldiers.

The 50,000 heavenly soldiers responded with a thunderous roar, and their battle formation suddenly changed from suppression and strangulation to mobile close combat.

Yue Cijing personally led his core elite forces to confront the Great Luo Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beast that attempted to charge upwards and join forces with the Flame Bull, along with more than twenty ferocious Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beasts.

However, the Chaos Beasts are numerous and have a clear objective.

Even though Yue Cijing was a master strategist with exquisite battle formations, he still couldn't trap all the Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beasts at the same time.

There are always a few who, with their brute strength or strange talents, can find an opportunity to break through the local blockade of the battle formation. Like cunning loaches, they do not get too entangled with the heavenly soldiers, but instead rush straight to the edge of the battlefield and the key points of the giant sealing formation that covers the entire battlefield!

They knew very well that their primary goal was not to fight the heavenly soldiers and generals here, but to rescue their suppressed kin!

The longer it drags on, the greater the variables become.

They had no intention of completely destroying this super formation set up by several powerful figures; that would require far more time and resources than the budget for this operation.

They only need to destroy a portion of the relatively weak key nodes of the array as quickly as possible, causing a temporary failure or loosening of the array in a localized area, in order to forcibly pull out the massive number of unintelligent kin suppressed within it!

Destruction is far easier than construction.
