I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

She suffered a crushing defeat.

The most terrifying thing is that she didn't even have a chance to make a move; she was completely overwhelmed.

After the artillery barrage, the two sides were simply not even in the same league.

She was preparing to fire arrows indiscriminately on one side, while cannons were firing indiscriminately on the other.

How do you fight a firearm with a cold weapon?

Furthermore, the defection of most of the soldiers rendered them powerless to fight back.

The power of the Shang Dynasty is truly terrifying!

Fortunately, several powerful figures protected Ji Fa, preventing him from dying here. Otherwise, the battle could have been declared over on the very first day.

Nevertheless, this battle nearly destroyed morale and fighting spirit.

They came with 400,000, but left with less than 10,000. Ji Fa was devastated.

Jiang Linglong's mentality was also almost broken.

If even the mighty Xiqi is insignificant in the face of the Shang Dynasty, how can she reclaim her destiny?

Yan Ling stayed behind to oversee the rear, and she didn't participate in this war. She wasn't a deity with strong frontal combat abilities to begin with, so managing logistics was fine for her; she could lie back and reap the rewards.

But to her utter surprise, the group that stormed out was soon driven back.

And so few people are coming back.

The total number of ordinary soldiers and heavenly soldiers was less than ten thousand, and the number of divine generals who escaped was even smaller.

One Thunder God General, one Three-Eyed God General, and one Spirit Child God General—these three gods are considered among the more powerful of this group of mortal deities.

The other gods have not returned for a long time, and it seems they will not be able to come back.

Looking towards the battlefield, Yan Ling could hardly believe it.

The first battle, which so many gods had been preparing for for three years, was almost completely wiped out?

This sword immortal is too dangerous; I have to be careful.

Yan Ling suddenly realized that being a god was not necessarily safe.

"I will go and report to the Great Celestial Venerable, requesting assistance!"

Yan Ling decisively slipped away to the rear and reported to the Heavenly Court.

In fact, the Heavenly Court did not need her to report. How could the Heavenly Realm not pay attention to such an important first war?

But there was nothing they could do about it.

Lin Yi's power has already approached that of a Heavenly Emperor.

How do we fight this?

Without higher-level combat power, sending more would just be sending them to their deaths.

Is the Heavenly Court really going to admit defeat like this?

At this point, the battle on Earth was nearing its end.

Lin Yi killed a group of immortals, and handed over the mortals to the other soldiers.

Blood flowed like rivers across the entire plain.

In the end, when only one female immortal remained in the immortal camp, Lin Yi stopped.

"If you don't like war, then don't come to the mortal realm, go back to the heavens."

Jueying never expected that he would survive his brush with death.

"You're not going to kill me?"

She was a little confused.

The sword immortal before them was ruthless and decisive, cutting people down like vegetables. He didn't even need to finish them off. Heads rolled on the ground, and corpses littered the ground. In this battle alone, more than forty immortals died at his hands.

Jueying never expected that he would let him go.

"That's right, I won't kill you. Let's go."

Lin Yi wiped the body of the Demon-Slaying Sword, which continued to hum, as if it hadn't killed enough.

But when Lin Yi tapped it gently, it calmed down.

Jueying was puzzled: "Why?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head; this fairy from the divine realm was far too curious.

If you're going to let her go, then just let her go. Why do you have to stay here and ask all sorts of questions?

"No reason why, just pretend that this sword immortal doesn't kill beauties."

Upon hearing this, Jueying blushed and hurriedly ran away.

Jueying truly lives up to her reputation as a goddess residing on the moon; she is indeed exceptionally beautiful.

Lin Yi didn't kill her, not because of her beauty, but because she hadn't participated in the group of immortals cutting grass, and her eyes showed sympathy for ordinary people.

In the battle between the two armies, she was not a qualified soldier, but as a deity, she possessed the kindness she should have.

This is why Lin Yi let her go – because she still possessed a conscience.

However, he couldn't elaborate on the specific reasons. There were definitely people in the Heavenly Realm watching, and if they were to take their anger out on Jueying because of this, that was not what Lin Yi wanted to see.

After defeating the Xiqi army, Lin Yi did not rest and immediately ordered the army to continue its expedition to wipe out Xiqi.

Lin Yi didn't take action against Xiqi before, firstly because he was afraid that if Xiqi was destroyed, Dongqi would also be destroyed, and secondly because he didn't have a pretext.

Now that the Immortal Realm has provided such strong support to Xiqi, yet it was still wiped out by him, he certainly wouldn't give them another chance.

Perhaps the Celestial Realm still has the ability to support the next force to continue fighting against the Great Shang, but the momentum will eventually weaken and eventually be exhausted. Lin Yi did not believe that those immortals could produce resources indefinitely.

In the celestial realm, the Heavenly Court, and among the gods, watching the Shang army march towards Xiqi, they finally could no longer restrain themselves.

Everything before could be considered minor skirmishes, but if we don't act this time, things will really go wrong.

If the human world gains power and disrespects Heaven, Heaven itself risks falling from grace.

"We beseech the Great Heavenly Venerable to issue a decree to suppress this traitor."

"Please, Great Heavenly Venerable, issue a decree!"

The gods of the celestial realm grew anxious, and only then did the Great Celestial Venerable agree.

"This massacre is far more widespread than ever before, which is why these villains have become so powerful. Therefore, we should sweep them away with overwhelming force and pacify the world."

"By my decree, the Heavenly Gates shall open!"

As the Great Celestial Venerable's decree fell, a portal instantly opened between the celestial beings and the human realm.

This is completely different from the previous portal. This portal is incredibly stable, and celestial soldiers from the Immortal Realm can directly reach the mortal world from here!

Although the Heavenly Court supported the descent of immortals to the mortal realm, the methods of crossing the border were still like smuggling, cumbersome and complicated, and their cultivation level would drop significantly upon arrival in the mortal world.

But the Heavenly Gate opened by the Great Celestial Venerable is different.

This is tantamount to the celestial realm directly declaring war on the human world.

The Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm has completely collided with the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm.

At that moment, the giant serpent suddenly felt a pang of pain in its heart.

She knew that this meant the Heavenly Way had been severely damaged and was no longer able to protect humanity.

But Lin Yi's ability to push the Immortal Realm to this extent is already a remarkable achievement.

Like the last time Yu the Great controlled the floods, although in name the human world won, in reality the heavens did not achieve the same result.

Rather than saying that humanity won, it would be more accurate to say that the two sides negotiated.

As a result, the ban on separating humans and gods was lifted, and gods began to appear in the human world on a large scale to enjoy incense offerings.

The negotiations have yielded this result, a loss in name only, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

This is because the power of the celestial realm over the mortal realm is overwhelming.

It's simply that the celestial realm is unwilling to pay a higher price, while the mortal realm is unable to fight the celestial realm to the bitter end.

Both sides recuperated and regrouped for many years before Lin Yi, such a heaven-defying individual, emerged.

Given the current situation, it's practically impossible for the mortal and immortal realms to negotiate, so the real war has begun.

What was originally a war between humans controlled by the celestial realm has now become a true war between heaven and man, and the intensity has increased dramatically.

From this point on, the immortals and gods of the lower realm will no longer be subject to any suppression in the human world; however, the power of the dynasty's fortune in the human world will not disappear.

The mortal realm can still fight against the celestial realm, but it is destined to be a brutal war.

How many mortals would it take to defeat a god?

The answer is that no matter how many mortals there are, they can't defeat the gods.

Mortals without power are no different from ants in front of immortals.

However, even if immortals and gods slaughter mortals, they will suffer backlash.

This backlash comes from the true way of Heaven.

There are the laws of heaven in the human realm, and there are the laws of heaven in the celestial realm.

Above the Three Realms, there is still the Heavenly Dao, which governs the fate and reincarnation of the Three Realms and is therefore also called the True Heavenly Dao.

The true way of Heaven does not favor any side, yet it still maintains the most basic order.

That is cause and effect and retribution.

However, with the war having progressed to this stage, many immortals in the celestial realm have already died. Would they still worry about another batch dying?

So the final result might be that mortals die like ants, while a few unlucky immortals die in the celestial realm.

The giant serpent arrived at the palace immediately and informed Lin Yi of the news. Meanwhile, in Xiqi, Lin Yi's clone was facing the fierce power of the Heavenly Court.

He received a message from the giant serpent and was preparing to retreat, but it was too late.

A colossal phantom of a god descended from the sky, accompanied by thunderous fury.

"Beast, die!"
