Chapter 1126 The Eastern Allied Forces Launch a Major Counterattack
"Woo!"
"hold head high!"
Not long after Qin Tian and his companion left, a desolate and powerful horn sounded across the Tiangong Continent, carrying boundless fighting spirit and a primordial aura.
The other was clear and stirring, containing a fiery passion and indomitable spirit that could burn the entire world.
Immediately afterwards, the void on both sides of the Tiangong Continent was like a curtain torn open by a tremendous force, suddenly opening two huge spatial portals!
Upon witnessing this unexpected turn of events, the powerful figures from the Eastern Region immediately changed their expressions and became fully prepared for battle.
On the left side of the gate, battle flags were like a forest, obscuring the sky and the sun!
Countless powerful cultivators, clad in uniform black armor, surged forth in an orderly fashion like a black torrent of steel!
Their battle formation exuded a fierce aura, their steps were perfectly synchronized, and every step they took caused the void to tremble!
On the leading banner, a bold and powerful "武" (Wu) character exudes a martial will that can suppress all heavens!
It was the conquering army of the Martial Realm!
The leaders were none other than several martial arts elders whose auras had reached the Immortal level, as well as Lin Dong's earliest followers, Lin Diao, Xiao Yan, and others!
Above the army, the phantom images of the four guardian spirits—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird—could be faintly seen circling, their power terrifying!
The right-hand portal presents a completely different scene.
Flames blazed across the sky, and waves of heat rolled in!
Countless streams of flame, each a different color but equally intense, converged into a boundless sea of fire. Within this sea of fire were the elite warriors of the Endless Fire Domain, clad in crimson armor and exuding a scorching, explosive aura!
They were not in a strict formation, but they used fire as a bond to form an incredibly agile yet devastating fire battle network.
The Xiao Clan, the Yan Clan, the Yao Clan and other affiliated powerful figures, as well as Xiao Yan's teachers Yao Lao and Gu Yuan, all exuded a powerful aura and had piercing eyes!
The banner with the character "炎" (Yan) fluttered in the wind, as if it wanted to ignite the entire starry sky!
Reinforcements from the Martial Realm and the Endless Fire Domain arrived together at this very moment!
Moreover, judging from its scale and momentum, it is clear that all its main forces have been deployed to provide full support!
The sudden arrival of the two armies was like throwing two blocks of ice into a pot of boiling oil, instantly igniting the atmosphere!
Upon seeing that it was an allied force arriving, the powerful figures from the Eastern Region breathed a sigh of relief, and then their faces lit up with joy.
"Cousin Xiao Yan, Brother Lin, thank you for your help!"
Seeing the two armies approaching through the air, Mo Yu couldn't help but solemnly clasp his hands in greeting to Xiao Yan and Lin Dong beside him.
Whether it's Xiao Yan or Lin Dong, they truly are brothers who would risk their lives for each other. Not only did they come to help from thousands of miles away, but they also dispatched their entire army.
"Cousin, you're too kind. How can we stand idly by when the Eastern Region is in trouble?" Xiao Yan waved his hand with a smile, his face pale but his spirits good.
"Besides, I've been wanting to teach these evil bastards a lesson for a long time."
Lin Dong nodded and said, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. Thunder Prison is the barrier of the Eastern Region and cannot be lost."
His gaze swept over the horrific battlefield below, and his brow furrowed slightly: "It's a pity that the army arrived a step too late. Although the evil race has retreated, they have not lost their strength and will surely make a comeback one day."
At this moment, the leading generals of the Martial Realm and the Endless Fire Domain also flew forward to pay their respects.
Lin Diao, Xiao Yan, and other Martial Realm warriors, their murderous aura still lingering, bowed to Lin Dong: "Brother, the entire Martial Realm army of 200,000 has arrived. Please give your instructions!"
On the other side, Yao Lao, Gu Yuan, and the others nodded slightly to Mo Yu, and then reported back to Xiao Yan.
Looking at the two elite troops in front of him, with their disciplined military bearing and high morale, and then at the Lei Yu and Zhen Dong Wangfu allied forces behind him, who were exhausted but had resolute eyes, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his injuries, and spoke softly, yet his voice carried clearly throughout the battlefield, conveying an undeniable resolve.
"The demons have been defeated and their morale has collapsed. However, they have ravaged our eastern border and slaughtered our people. Their sins are heinous. How can we allow them to retreat so easily?"
His gaze swept across the crowd like lightning: "My Zhen Dong Wang Mansion is entrusted by the Da Qian Palace to guard the East and protect the territory."
Today, those demons dare to invade our borders; let them never return! Merely driving them away from the Eastern Region is insufficient to deter the demons and console the spirits of our fallen heroes!
He paused, then his voice suddenly rose, filled with a resounding and murderous aura: "I have decided that, effective immediately, the army of my Zhen Dong Wang Mansion will be the main force, uniting with friendly forces from the Martial Realm and the Endless Fire Domain to form the Great Thousand Eastern Region Allied Army!"
Not only must we eliminate all remaining enemies within the Eastern Region, but we must also press our advantage, launch a counterattack beyond the region, and reclaim the parts of the Great Thousand World's outer territories that have been occupied by the evil race in recent years. We must demonstrate the might of our Great Thousand World and uphold the prestige of our Eastern Region's defense!
Counterattack beyond our borders!
These four words, like a thunderclap, resounded in everyone's ears!
Since the ancient war, the world has mostly focused on defense when facing extraterrestrial evil races, and rarely has it organized a counterattack of this scale!
Mo Yu's move was not only to consolidate the gains in the Eastern Region, but also to take the initiative, build momentum, and reclaim lost territory!
Xiao Yan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance, both seeing the agreement and fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
They brought their large army here with the intention of helping Mo Yu and striking at the evil race; a counterattack suits their purposes perfectly.
"Emperor Yan, what is the Martial Ancestor's opinion?" Mo Yu asked, looking at the two of them.
He referred to the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor because the two were not only his close friends in private, but also the leaders of two major forces. He needed to formally obtain their consent before he could unite the Endless Fire Domain and the Martial Realm to launch a counterattack against the extraterrestrial evil race.
"Haha, just what I wanted! We, the men of the Endless Fire Domain, have long wanted to burn our way to the gates of that demon's lair!" Xiao Yan laughed loudly.
"Martial warriors never fear battle; it is their duty to reclaim lost territory," Lin Dong replied in a deep voice.
"Good!" Mo Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Immediately order Feng Wuyai and Venerable Baosheng to join forces with all departments of the Royal Palace to coordinate the suppression of the remaining enemy forces within the Eastern Region, pacify the surrounding areas, and repair the defense lines!"
"Dongfang Shuo is seriously injured. He should be sent back to the depths of the Thunder Pool on the Thunder Continent immediately for treatment at all costs!"
"Qing Yanjing, Lei Feier, Xiao Yu, Ya Fei, and others are responsible for the allied forces' logistics, wounded treatment, and intelligence gathering!"
"Lin Diao and Lin Yan, lead the Martial Realm Vanguard Legion on the left flank!"
"Elder Yao and Gu Yuan, lead the Endless Fire Domain Flame Vanguard Army as the right wing!"
"The main force of the Thunder Prison Thunder Punishment Army and the elite troops of the Eastern Region Garrison will follow me and provide support from the center!"
"Using the Sky-Patrolling Thunder Eye Network as our eyes and ears, all three armies will set out together, targeting three strategic locations outside the Eastern Region: the Black Erosion Star Belt, the Demon Mist Sea, and the Bone Wasteland, which are occupied by the evil race!"
"We must retake it and establish an advance base before the evil reinforcements can react!"
Orders were quickly issued, and the allied forces, who had just experienced a bloody battle and should have been resting, immediately began to operate efficiently like a sophisticated war machine under the command of Mo Yu and with the support of Xiao Yan and Lin Dong!
The chilling atmosphere was even more intense than before!
Soon, a massive allied army, composed of the most elite forces from the three sides, with banners waving and a murderous aura soaring to the sky, completed its assembly outside the Tiangong Continent.
Mo Yu stood at the forefront of the allied forces, with Xiao Yan and Lin Dong beside him. Although the three were injured, their auras were united, like three unsheathed swords pointing straight towards the outer realm!
"Let's go!"
With Mo Yu's command, the allied forces tore through the void and marched towards the extraterritorial battlefield shrouded in the shadow of the evil race!
In the following months, war reignited on the eastern border of the world, but this time, the roles of offense and defense were reversed!
At Mo Yu's command, the newly formed Great Thousand Eastern Region Allied Army did not immediately divide its forces. Instead, like a long-awaited heavy hammer, it first struck the Black Erosion Star Belt, which was closest to the Eastern Region's border, where the Evil Clan had the deepest influence, and which posed the greatest threat as a springboard.
The Black Eclipse Belt is not a natural star field, but is composed of countless broken stars and meteorites that have been eroded by the evil energy of the demon race for a long time and whose surfaces are covered with a viscous black corrosive energy.
This area is defended by a garrison mainly composed of remnants of the Blade Demon Clan, mixed with other scattered demons. They rely on the complex terrain and a massive, menacing Black Corrosion Demon Fortress in the center of the star belt for defense.
When the allied forces arrived, the Black Eclipse Star Belt was already shrouded in a thick layer of dark, demonic mist that could devour spiritual senses and light, with countless poisoned blade energies lurking within, waiting for their chance to strike.
"Martial Realm Legion, form the Four Symbols Demon-Slaying Battle Formation in the front, advance steadily, clear obstacles along the way, and head straight for the Demon Fortress!" Mo Yu commanded from the center, his orders clear and distinct.
"Order!"
Lin Diao and Xiao Yan roared, and the 200,000-strong Martial Realm army responded in unison, their voices shaking the starry sky.
The army quickly changed formation, and the phantom images of the four guardian spirits—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—appeared, surrounding the army formation and emanating a powerful aura to ward off evil.
The dark torrent, like an iron wall, ignored the hidden blade energy cutting through it and crushed into the depths of the demonic mist with unstoppable force!
Wherever it passed, the black meteorites were directly smashed by the battle formation, and the hidden sword demon ambushes were annihilated by the battle formation before they could even get close.
"Endless Fire Domain, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas, purifying the demonic mist!" Xiao Yan immediately gave the order.
"Yes, sir!" Yao Lao, Gu Yuan, and the other leaders responded.
The army of the Endless Fire Domain did not form a dense formation, but instead transformed into countless blazing torrents of flame, like agile fire snakes, burrowing into every part of the demonic mist.
Wherever they passed, the properties of the Imperial Flame erupted, and the viscous dark demonic mist, as if encountering its nemesis, was quickly burned and purified, revealing the hidden fortifications and ambush points of the Blade Demon Clan.
"Thunder Punishment Army, follow me! Break through the center and seize the core of the Demon Fortress!"
A flash of lightning appeared in Mo Yu's eyes. He personally led his most elite forces, transforming them into a chaotic lightning arrow that tore through the darkness. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Martial Realm was drawing attention from the front and the Fire Domain was purifying the flanks, he swiftly and unexpectedly pierced straight into the Black Corrosion Demon Fortress!
Inside the Demon Castle, the Blade Demon Clan's Heavenly Demon Emperor, who remained behind, was filled with shock and rage, activating countless magic energy cannons and blade energy traps within the fortress.
However, Mo Yu took the lead, with the Thunder Emperor Seal hanging high, and eight thunder dragons roaring and swirling, directly crushing most of the ranged attacks.
Following closely behind, the Thunder Punishment Army formed a wedge formation, with thunderous spears like a forest, blasting away swarms of sword demon warriors who dared to get close.
The powerful figures from various forces in the Eastern Region also displayed their unique abilities, with sword energy and blade light pouring down on the Demon Fortress's defenses like a torrential rain.
In less than half a day, the outer defenses were completely breached.
Mo Yu personally took action, shattering the Demon Fortress's most solid core energy shield with a Chaos Thunderball. The allied forces swarmed in, launching a brutal street battle and mopping-up operation.
Ultimately, after paying a certain price, the central demon fortress of the Black Eclipse Star Belt was completely destroyed, and the remaining evil race scattered and fled into the deeper part of the star sea.
The allied forces established their first forward base here and deployed purification and early warning arrays to stabilize the battle line.
The second target was the Sea of Demonic Mist.
This place is even more bizarre; it is not a physical star field, but a boundless sea of liquid demonic mist, dominated by the Spirit Demon Clan and mixed with the corrupting power of the Blood Demon Clan.
The demonic mist is not only highly poisonous, but it can also erode the soul and create illusions, within which countless bizarre monsters, spirit demons, and blood demon warriors lurk.
Ordinary armies that enter will quickly lose their way, turn on each other, or be swallowed up by the demonic mist.
"Purification and protection should be our top priorities here," Mo Yu decided after discussing with Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.
This time, the Endless Fire Domain army served as the vanguard and main attacker.
Xiao Yan personally oversaw the operation, maximizing the purification and incineration properties of the Emperor Flame.
He unleashed his great supernatural powers, using the upgraded and modified twenty-two different kinds of strange fire as a foundation, to construct a world-cleansing fire wall stretching for thousands of miles in front of the allied forces, slowly advancing into the depths of the Demon Mist Sea.
Wherever the wall of fire passed, the liquid demonic mist was violently evaporated and purified, emitting a mournful shriek. The lurking demons had nowhere to hide and were reduced to ashes in the sea of fire.
The illusionary attacks of the Spirit Demon Clan were greatly diminished in the face of Emperor Yan's blazing righteous fire.
Ultimately, the allied forces successfully located and destroyed several evil altars that maintained the Demon Mist at the core of the Demon Mist Sea, and the Demon Mist Sea began to dissipate and fade at a visible rate.
The second strategic location was declared recovered.
The third place is the Wasteland of Bones.
This is the ruins of a great ancient war. Countless colossal skeletons of demons and divine beasts, as large as mountains, have piled up into a vast wasteland, where death and resentment linger for years.
The evil race operates here, using the skeletons to set up insidious formations, extracting death energy and resentment to cultivate demonic arts, and frequently using this as a base to harass nearby star systems.
Faced with this desolate land, the allied forces changed their strategy.
“Brother Lin, the martial will of the Martial Realm is extremely strong and yang, and is most effective against yin and death energy. This time, we will use the Martial Realm as our spearhead to charge straight into the formation and destroy the core of the bone formation,” Mo Yu said.
“Just what I wanted.” Lin Dong nodded. He personally controlled the eight ancestral symbols to empower the Martial Realm army with the righteous energy of creation.
The Martial Realm army unleashed its battle aura and martial will to the extreme, like a golden torrent, directly surging into the Wasteland of Bones.
Wherever they went, their intense and powerful fighting spirit and blood energy directly dispersed the pervasive deathly aura and resentment, and the huge skeletons crumbled under the impact of the battle formation.
Fierce generals like Lin Diao and Xiao Yan took the lead, specifically searching for and destroying the nodes of the skeletal array that shimmered with an eerie light.
After several days of fierce fighting, the allied forces successfully advanced to the deepest part of the wasteland, destroyed the largest evil altar, and almost completely annihilated a blood demon elite force entrenched there.
As one place after another was occupied by the evil race, the outer territories of the Great Thousand World, which served as a springboard for their invasion, were forcefully reclaimed by the allied forces!
The good news spread like wildfire throughout the world, causing a sensation not only in the Eastern Region but also throughout the entire world!
Countless forces took notice, and countless powerful figures across the vast world were filled with excitement!
"The King of Zhendong, Lei Di Moyu, joined forces with the Yan Emperor and the Martial Ancestor to defeat the evil race in the Eastern Region, and then led his army in a counterattack, conquering three demonic domains in succession!"
"How magnificent! This is the first time since ancient times that our Great Thousand World has launched a systematic counterattack against the outer realms and recovered lost territory!"
"The Thunder Emperor's divine might! The Flame Emperor's heaven-burning power! The Martial Ancestor's world-shaking might! With these three joining forces, our Great Thousand East is as solid as a rock!"
"After this battle, the prestige of the Prince of Zhen Dong's Mansion is at its zenith! It has truly become an unshakeable pillar of the Eastern frontier!"
