Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?

Chapter 1053: Chapter 842: The Invincible Snowball_2

When the over four hundred electromagnetic cannons under Li Xuan’s command fired simultaneously, the heavily fortified heavenly domain trembled like a turtle stripped of its shell in the face of more than one hundred thousand warships and over ten million troops.

At the same time, figures like the Fumo Emperor of the Three Realms, Jingmo Emperor of Three Realms, Heavenly Empress Puji, Baosheng Emperor, Three-eyed Spirit Officer Marshal Sheng, Marshal Zhaogong, Fusou Emperor, Star Lord Taibai, Maitreya Buddha, Nezha, and others suppressed the Kunpeng Emperor from afar with the Law of Holy Heaven.

Li Xuan walked up directly to the Great Emperor Tunhai, conjured the Haotian Seal, and with a ’Duang’ sound, smashed it down upon the emperor’s head.

The latter’s demon body instantly collapsed and fell apart, scattering blood and flesh.

Li Xuan couldn’t help but curl the corner of his mouth with regret, recognizing that this was yet another Law Body and not the emperor’s true form.

However, this was not surprising. The emperor, who knew that the ’Shenkun Jiuxiao Heaven’ had little chance of holding, had no reason to stay.

After the death of Dijun of the second Heavenly Court, Master Kunpeng had fled to the oceans, employing guerrilla tactics to resist the third Heavenly Court for thousands of years. Well-versed in survival strategies, he wouldn’t be so easily killed by Li Xuan.

But Li Xuan’s next-generation flagship was set. This Law Body’s skeleton of Kunpeng was far superior to the previous ones, meeting the standards of Holy Heaven in every aspect.

The Great Emperor Tunhai likely wanted to use the ’Shenkun Jiuxiao Heaven’ and the eight million demon army to wear down Li Xuan’s forces, so he stationed this precious incarnation here to reassure the troops.

His gains weren’t limited to this demonic skeleton. When Li Xuan’s sixteen million troops swept across, he also acquired a large amount of big demon and Heavenly Kunpeng bones. Among them, there were three Heavenly Kunpeng bones.

To deceive his followers of the Demon Tribe into fighting for him, the Great Emperor Tunhai did indeed invest some resources. Of the five Heavenly Kunpeng of his own clan stationed here, only two managed to escape.

Once the battle concluded, Li Xuan scanned the area with his Divine Consciousness, but couldn’t find any rare treasures. Most of the resources had also been carried away.

The remaining parts could neither be used as food nor to forge magical instruments and heavenly armor.

However, ’Shenkun Jiuxiao Heaven’ itself was a vast fortune.

"Shuying, hear my decree!" In front of the entire army, Li Xuan summoned Ao Shuying to his side, "Today, I bestow upon you the title of ’Goddess Shuide’ to govern this Shuide Yunxiao Heaven."

A hint of joy flashed in Shuying’s eyes.

She understood that although Li Xuan declared that he was conferring this world upon her, what he was actually doing was granting the dragon clan territory for their survival in the Outer Taixu.

With the ’Shenkun Jiuxiao Heaven’, she could even muster an army of a million serpent dragons with dragon blood within ten days.

In the Outer Void, there were many dragon clans without a home.

Currently, True man Huanglong paid no attention to worldly matters, while the Divine Lord of Qinglong had established a separate lineage, belonging to the wood-based Cang dragon clan.

The water-based Dragon Vein in the Outer Taixu lacked protection and most were in dire straits.

Yet, she then heard Li Xuan whisper to her, "My love, you can tell your father that I’m still short of a vast amount of armor. Could he help mine some more ore from the ocean floor for me?"

The implication was to let the dragon clan offer even more wealth in exchange for the ’Shenkun Jiuxiao Heaven’ from him.

Ao Shuying rolled her eyes at him, "Your consort understands."

But her heart was filled with delight. The ’Shenkun Jiuxiao Heaven’ spanned six thousand miles from north to south, which was five times the size of Bohai, and outside the mortal realm, it was not governed by the Book of Jinque.

Her father would definitely be willing to pay any price for this territory.

It was then that Star Lord Taibai’s expression shifted slightly as he looked into the distance before giving a bow to Li Xuan.

"Your Majesty! There are more than twenty thousand warships approaching from afar, flying the banner of Immortal Master Miaodao of Qingyuan."

"Immortal Master Miaodao of Qingyuan, Lord Erlang?"

Li Xuan glanced over with his Tao-protecting Eyes, "Please have the Grand Secretary visit the true master and ask whether he comes as friend or foe."

Li Xuan guessed that Immortal Master Miaodao was likely coming to join him, for there was no reason for this figure to travel thousands of miles to clash with his grand army here.

And just as he expected, not long after, Immortal Master Miaodao came to see Li Xuan in person, alongside Star Lord Taibai, to pledge allegiance and establish their liege-vassal relationship.

Li Xuan was delighted. Some of the most fierce generals capable of fighting in the third Heavenly Court—he now commanded Nezha, the Hayagriva Marshal Sheng, and Immortal Master Miaodao under his banner.

Only the Zhenwu Emperor, having reached the status of an Emperor, possessed formidable power and held sway over his own territory.

※※※※

When Immortal Master Miaodao of Qingyuan led his troops to join, the entire Outer Taixu could no longer stop the colossal snowball that Li Xuan had set rolling.

Two days later, ’Marshal Tianpeng’ leading the three saints of Polaris also arrived with their forces.

Marshal Tianpeng, Marshal Tianyou, and Marshal Yisheng had once been the chiefs of the Heavenly Court’s naval forces, each commanding a massive Taixu Fleet.

Unfortunately, in the battle of the saints of Haotian, most of the Heavenly Court’s Taixu fleet perished in the fight, and aside from Zhenwu among the four saints of Polaris, all suffered grievous wounds, and they could only hold one area in the Outer Taixu to recuperate and multiply.

Learning that Li Xuan had dispatched troops into the Taixu, these three had already set out with their forces, but due to the remote location of their territories, they had spent quite some time on the way.

Li Xuan subsequently swept through territories led by ’the Seven Great Sages’ of the Demon Tribe, and wherever his troops went, these demon heavens surrendered and opened their realms without exception, yielding without any resistance.

The many big demons led by the Great Sage Pingtian and the Great Sage Fuhai offered their submission to Li Xuan, each presenting hefty tributes and requesting official titles from the Heavenly Court.

Li Xuan was rather surprised, knowing these Monster species were usually defiant.

In the days of the past three Heavenly Courts, the Seven Great Sages had not infrequently confronted Haotian. The Fighting Buddha, when he was the Great Sage Qitian, even assaulted the Heavenly Court and almost overturned it.

While the others, though lacking the battle achievements of the Fighting Buddha, each held control over a territory, living freely and unconcerned with the divine titles of the Heavenly Court.

Li Xuan thought these Seven Great Sages would at least seek a situation where they would follow orders without necessarily obeying proclamations, or even resist by using the tens of millions in their demon armies. Yet in the end, none offered any resistance and surrendered directly.

At first, Li Xuan speculated whether it was the connections of the Fighting Buddha that played a role, but soon after, when the Seven Great Sages each brought a million of their demon army under his command, Li Xuan found out that the celestial domains of the Demon Tribe had been cut off from supplies for nearly a month, driven to the brink of cannibalism and internal struggle. The Seven Great Sages had even lost control over their subordinates.

If it hadn’t been for the timely arrival of Li Xuan’s forces, the Demon Tribe might have devoured half of themselves.

Li Xuan’s own food supplies were also running low, luckily he had previously swept through Shenkun Jiuxiao Heaven and obtained 2.5 million large demon carcasses, which were excellent sources of meat, amounting to a staggering forty million Shi.

With proper storage, it would be enough to sustain an army of thirty million for one and a half months.

Following the sweep of the Seven Great Sages, Li Xuan turned to the scattered forces such as the Moon God Changxi, the Mother of Mount Li, Immortal Master Wuqi, and the Star Spirit Wudou.

But wherever this army of thirty million went, all surrendered at the sight of them, causing the snowball to grow bigger and bigger.

It wasn’t until Li Xuan led his grand army to the territory of the Sanguan Great Emperor that he encountered some resistance.

The so-called Sanguan Great Emperor, representing Heaven, Earth, and Water Officers, is also known as "Sanyuan."

The Heaven Officer bestows blessings, the Earth Officer pardons sins, and the Water Officer wards off disaster; the festivals of Shangyuan, Zhongyuan, and Xiayuan among the people also originated from this.

During the era of Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasty for a period revered the Sanguan Great Emperor as the Heaven Emperor, replacing the Emperors of Five Directions, but failed to gain recognition from the Northern Dynasty.

However, during the flourishing period of the Tang Dynasty, although the Sanguan were no longer revered as Heaven Emperors, they were still accorded great respect.

Thus, the three of them were deeply rooted, with cultivation in the Divine Heavenly level. When their heavenly domains were fully mobilized, they had a force of fifteen million, with 1.7 million being armored soldiers.

Li Xuan expended considerable effort before finally overcoming them.

He did not wish to waste military strength and time here; the Sanguan Great Emperor also had no desire to enrage Li Xuan and, after clashing with Li Xuan for several days and losing seven heavenly territories, they ultimately conceded three strands of Hunyuan Mother Qi and three postnatal divine treasures in exchange for a semi-independent vassal status. They also committed nine million people, self-sufficient in provisions, to join Li Xuan in his campaign.

By this time, Lv Qiluo was spirited and invigorated.

Disregarding the forces directly under Li Xuan, the vast military might they commanded had already surpassed that of the past three Heavenly Courts.

At this moment, Li Xuan’s eyes began to turn toward the shattered Luo Great Heaven.

Because at that time, a Taixu Fleet of equally massive scale was assembling in Luo Great Heaven.

Led by the Ziwei Emperor and the Emperor of the South, a total of 320,000 Taixu Battleships and an army of thirty-four million were gathered there. There were also numerous emperors, an abundance of extreme points, and their momentum was so great, it also shook the entire Infinite Taixu.
