507: Chapter 179: The Western Front is in Urgency!

Waiting always tends to make people anxious.

Being in the military, Li Ping’an felt as though his Dao heart could no longer control his Primordial Spirit, and he couldn’t concentrate on his cultivation any longer.

For six consecutive days, the barracks had fallen into a weird silence.

No celestial soldiers were mobilized, no streaks of light crossed the sky, and the entrance and exit were wrapped in layers of Golden Immortal Charms, hiding this place in a corner of the southern end of the Western Continent.

The entire barracks seemed to be swirling with an emotion.

That emotion was not unease, nor was it tension, but an agitated, restless urge to know what was happening outside.

It made the waiting all the more unbearable.

Li Ping’an let out a gentle sigh.

A whispering voice entered his ear: “The battle has started in the north of the East Continent, the Dao Charm of a Da Luo from the Demon Race has appeared, Minister Fengshi and Yubei have already gone to take charge, and the various celestial gates should coordinate closely nearby.

That area is likely a feint by the opponent to tie up our forces, not the main battlefield.”

It was ‘Xiongba Tian’, who was chatting with him.

Li Ping’an was slightly taken aback, why was His Majesty telling him this?

Right, His Majesty was also slightly affected by the atmosphere.

Hadn’t he been fighting the Demon Race since ancient times?

This time the Demon Race had gathered a million demon soldiers and tens of thousands of demon generals from the Three Thousand Worlds, was it enough to make the Human Emperor feel pressured?

Muddled thoughts began to clutter Li Ping’an’s mind.

If he were to postpone the ‘Eastern Alliance’ till after this battle, or, if he spared the lives of those celestial officials, allowing them to go into battle…

No, that’s not right, these people, if they knew they had no chance of survival, might very well defect in hopes of finding a way to live.

That would be a heavy blow to the Human Race.

Those whose core had been corrupted, could no longer be said to have ‘firm stances’.

Another half-day passed.

“They’re here!”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, emitting several flashes of light before quickly concealing them again.

Li Ping’an sent a message asking, “What’s here?”

Their current conversation would certainly not be intentionally let out by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.

“The main battlefield is still on the northern front.”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor spoke slowly:

“According to our expert scouts, the north has now amassed more than four hundred twenty Demon Kings, gathering nearly two million demon soldiers, but they’re mostly disorganized and just fillers.”

“The troublesome part is, the Demon Race has used ‘Beast Frenzy Technique’ and ‘Soul Craving Technique’ this time.”

“The former can forcibly awaken some beasts, causing them to deplete their vital energy in a short time, turning into savage, mindless demon beasts, then feasting on human blood, becoming vicious killers.”

“These frenzied beasts can only survive for a few months, their strength varies greatly, the strongest roughly equivalent to our Merge True realm Qi Cultivators, and their role is to slaughter mortals.”

“‘Soul Craving Technique’ is for those demon soldiers who have taken on Innate Dao Bodies, making the demon soldiers bloodthirsty, fearless, and also enhancing their fighting capabilities, it was created by Chiyou.”

“This technique has a downside, though: demon soldiers may go insane and harm themselves if they can’t withstand it.”

“Such a lineup, I haven’t seen for twenty or thirty thousand years…

They must have really been spurred on by the emergence of a Great Fate Holder among the Human Race.”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor let out a cold laugh.

Li Ping’an asked, “Then Your Majesty, won’t you go to face their Da Luo?”

“My presence has already been felt on the northern front, locking energies with one of the opponent’s Da Luo and two old demons in the Taiyi Realm.”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor said gravely:

“I might disappear from here at any moment.

As soon as those three old demons make a move, I must act immediately.

Feng and Changxian alone cannot hold off that old lizard.”

“Ping’an, I brought you into this situation to let you experience the Way of Humanity.

“Even if it’s unavoidable later, do not submit to the Heavenly Dao because of today’s battle…

I understand the temperament of you young people, especially you, who haven’t seen our race’s battles against the demons, which might affect your Dao heart.”

“But Ping’an, now you have to consider the bigger picture more.

The scabbard I gave you can protect your life, so you need not worry.”

Li Ping’an sighed, “Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do what a celestial soldier ought to do later.”

“The Centurion looks experienced in battle; if you’re willing, perhaps you could give him some advice and help him break through to Heavenly Immortal.”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor raised an eyebrow:

“You are considered a Great Enlightenment Prospective Immortal of our Human Race.”

Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched slightly: “That’s just a misconception spread by the world.

What about our side?”

“Ah, a large number of demons are lurking in the Western Sea.”

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor said:

“The main battlefield is in the north, where a battle is about to erupt over sixteen thousand miles of territory.”

“Although we are on a side front here, this place is more important.

First, we must ensure our main battlefield is not encircled.”

“Second, this place is home to far too many mortals.

To those demons, mortals are like tonic for their souls, and if they breach the city, they will slaughter it.”

“We have arranged several layers of defenses here on the western front, with over three hundred thousand celestial soldiers in place.

This is the central army, the force we will use last.”

“The battle has already started outside.

Hundred-feet-high tsunami waves are rolling through the Western Sea, but you need not worry, a few cities there have been preemptively evacuated, and our soldiers will rely on the great formation to consume the enemy’s demon soldiers.”

Li Ping’an sighed softly.

Just from listening to His Majesty’s few words, he felt as though he could see the waves that seemed capable of cloaking the heavens and the celestial soldiers standing firmly atop the formation like rocks…

Woo—

The desolate sound of the horn cut through the secret realm where soldiers were hidden.

All hundred men in the big tent stood up simultaneously, their hands holding up Long Spears, holding their breath and focusing their spirits.

Centurion Fu Yu opened his eyes, shooting out two beams of celestial light, his True Immortal peak Dao Charm enveloping the hundred celestial soldiers, causing the long sword in his hand to tremble.
