Chapter 374: Chapter 374: One Million Heavenly Army Besieges Flower-Fruit Mountain (3rd Update)

Three Realms, Aolai Kingdom of East Victorious Divine Continent, on the outskirts of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

Sword Qi crisscrossed, slashing an Immortal of the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm into several pieces. The Green Lotus Sword Immortal, Luo Bai, with a single swing of his Sword of Slaying Immortal, stained his white robe with blood. His normally cold face now bore a ferocious expression as he bellowed, “Strike with all your strength, kill these people, and don’t let them step half a foot into Flower-Fruit Mountain!”

“Yes, General! Kill them!”

A troop of the Demon Clan roared and charged at the Immortals and Gods, forming the Seven Extremes Battle Formation to slaughter the enemy.

In the end, the Heavenly Court launched an attack on Flower-Fruit Mountain. Years after Sun Wukong fell into the Endless Demon Abyss, the Jade Emperor rallied a million Heavenly Soldiers to execute a campaign to annihilate Flower-Fruit Mountain, an operation far more formidable than the previous attack of a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, with Da Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saint Cultivation experts all mobilized.

The strength of this assault by the Heavenly Court shocked the Three Realms, but so did the performance of Flower-Fruit Mountain. In just a few decades, Flower-Fruit Mountain’s power had increased over tenfold compared to the last Heavenly Court attack. The Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals had mastered the Seven Extremes Battle Formation and the Great Zhou Tian Ten Directions Rotation Formation to perfection. The number of expert fighters in the Demon Clan of Flower-Fruit Mountain also multiplied several times, attracting many from other Demon Clans across the Three Realms. Non-demon powers also joined them in large numbers.

In dealing with these various powers coming to pledge allegiance, Leng Xuan and others always followed the principles set early on by Sun Wukong. They rejected no comer, accepting all after verifying true allegiance, regardless of whether they were human, demon, or other races, integrating everyone swiftly into the realm of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Facing the fierce storm of attacks initiated by the Heavenly Court, Flower-Fruit Mountain was fearlessly defensive; its outskirts remained unbreached, directly countered by individuals like Nezha and Luo Bai, who took turns leading teams to aggressively repel the Heavenly Court’s forces that encroached upon Flower-Fruit Mountain’s domain.

Luo Bai, Nezha, and Erlang God Yang Jian had all advanced to the brink of the Quasi-Saint Realm two years earlier. The mighty immortals dispatched by the Heavenly Court fell one by one without gain against these three. However, Luo Bai and the others did not feel the least bit triumphant, as these were just probing attacks by the Heavenly Court. The real experts had yet to make their move!

Half an hour later, a thousand Heavenly Soldiers led by the Da Luo Golden Immortal Luo Bai had slain were entirely annihilated; not a single one escaped. Luo Bai shook his Sword of Slaying Immortal, looked at the chaotic battlefield, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes, he said in a deep tone, “Gather the bodies of the fallen brothers, and let’s retreat!”

“Yes, General!”

To kill a thousand enemies, eight hundred of themselves were harmed. Even with the assistance of the Seven Extremes Battle Formation, Flower-Fruit Mountain still suffered the loss of nearly four hundred Demon Soldiers. However, compared to the Heavenly Court, this loss was minimal. The surviving Demon Soldiers gathered up their fallen brethren’s bodies, ascended on clouds, and retreated into Flower-Fruit Mountain’s Barrier. As for the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals’ bodies, after their valuables and weapons were thoroughly looted, Luo Bai used his Sword Qi to reduce them to fragments, and a single fire burned them to ashes.

A hundred miles away, within the central palace of the Heavenly Court’s military camp.

“Snap!”

A white jade teacup was smashed violently onto the ground, shattering into pieces. The Supreme Saintly Heavenly Venerable Guang Chengzi, his face full of rage, looked terrifying as he stormed, “Damn it! Damn it! Another thousand men lost, yet we still haven’t clarified the gates of Flower-Fruit Mountain. What exactly are you all doing, huh?”

After the previous great battle, Flower-Fruit Mountain had not only secretly amassed strength over the years but had also set up numerous formations both inside and outside the mountain. The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation protected the Dragon Vein Formation of the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars layout at Flower-Fruit Mountain. The Primordial Unity Grand Formation guarded the gates of Flower-Fruit Mountain, with many other formations on the outer perimeter.

Leng Xuan had added Illusion Arrays and Maze Formations, and some Space Laws into the Primordial Unity Grand Formation, completely concealing the gates. The Heavenly Army had been besieging Flower-Fruit Mountain for nearly half a year now, yet they couldn’t even find where the gates were. The original location of Flower-Fruit Mountain’s gates had transformed and could no longer be found.

The formations in the outer region of Flower-Fruit Mountain naturally could not match the power of the Primordial Unity Grand Formation, but they were numerous. During this half-year, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of Heavenly Court had suffered quite a bit. The Supreme Saintly Heavenly Venerable Guang Chengzi had long harbored a bellyful of resentment. This time another thousand men were completely annihilated, and even a Da Luo Golden Immortal had fallen, striking a loud slap across Guang Chengzi’s face. He was nearly driven mad with anger!

A million Heavenly Soldiers besieged Flower-Fruit Mountain, deploying numerous Immortals and Gods with profound cultivation. Yet, they still hadn’t found where exactly the gates of Flower-Fruit Mountain were. The losses had already mounted to tens of thousands, which would be a laughingstock to all powers of the Three Realms if word got out!

“Marshal, the formations at Flower-Fruit Mountain are mysterious and impenetrable. Our investigations over this half year have barely yielded any results, and the strength of those Demon Clans is not weak. If this continues, the losses will be substantial!”

Jiuling Godly Prince looked at the Immortals and Gods, who seemed as silent as cicadas in winter. He furrowed his brows and stepped forward, bowing to the Supreme Saintly Heavenly Venerable Guang Chengzi.

“Then, in your opinion, what should be done?”

Guang Chengzi took a deep breath, suppressing his rage, and turned to ask Jiuling Godly Prince, who was a disciple of the Supreme Saintly Heavenly Venerable Xuandu Grandmaster, with cultivation close to the Quasi-Saint Realm. Even though Guang Chengzi was the commander for this campaign against Flower-Fruit Mountain, he had to give Jiuling Godly Prince some respect.

“Full-scale assault!”

Jiuling Godly Prince spoke sternly, “Over this half year, we have continually attempted to first understand the situation at Flower-Fruit Mountain and planned to launch a full-scale attack after determining the location of its gates. However, it is evident that this approach has been largely ineffective. The demons of Flower-Fruit Mountain have also set up numerous formations on the perimeter to obstruct us, and small-scale probing attacks are utterly ineffective. Since that is the case, there is no need to continue probing!”

“A full-scale assault, directly pushing to Flower-Fruit Mountain’s Mountain Protection Barrier?”

Guang Chengzi’s eyes lit up. Jiuling Godly Prince indeed had a point. Nowadays, the influence of Flower-Fruit Mountain had indeed expanded significantly from the past, but the army mobilized by Heavenly Court this time amounted to no less than a million, sufficient to completely surround the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain while advancing inward simultaneously.

As long as they did not leave any gaps for the Demon Clan of Flower-Fruit Mountain to repair their broken formations, the million-strong army would continuously reduce the encirclement, pushing straight through, and certainly be able to breach up to the Mountain Protection Barrier of Flower-Fruit Mountain. By then, would they still worry about not finding where exactly the gates of Flower-Fruit Mountain were?

“Excellent idea! Let’s follow what the Godly Prince proposed! Send the order down, the entire army to prepare, and launch a full-scale attack on Flower-Fruit Mountain tomorrow morning!”
