Chapter 2407 - The Decisive Battle (XV)
Chapter 2407: The Decisive Battle (XV)
"Everyone understood this point before this battle," Wang Chong sternly said, but he quickly changed the topic, breaking into a laugh.
"In addition, you might be celebrating a little too early!
"The battle isn't over, and the one who loses won't necessarily be me. It could be you and your Celestial Army, and that so-called Celestial God Organization that you established!
"You were not the only one preparing in these last three years!"
Wang Chong's voice was ice-cold as he replied.
Bang!
Wang Chong suddenly blinked away, barely dodging Heaven's destructive Sword Qi. At the same time, he changed his direction, sending sharp Sword Qi at Heaven from out of the depths of spacetime.
Buzz!
Heaven's eyes flew open as if he had seemingly realized something.
"Haha, is that so? It seems that you still have a few more tricks. We look forward to it."
Boom! There was a pulse of time energy, and a hazy, firefly-like light spread out through the void. Heaven's figure distorted, making him appear like an illusion, and he instantly dodged Wang Chong's attack.
"We will see how you manage to defeat Our Celestial Army!"
Rumble!
As Heaven spoke, the world suddenly darkened, boundless spacetime storms converging on Wang Chong.
At almost the same time, Heaven raised his Celestial Emperor Sword into the air, and the entire battlefield transformed.
One, two, three, four… one after another, Heaven's avatars appeared, and a few moments later, there were twelve of them!
Heaven was incredibly strong, and he now had twelve avatars, each one incredibly strong and exerting formidable pressure.
The mood instantly became tense and suffocating.
Bzz! Heaven raised his sword, and powerful energies locked onto Wang Chong like iron chains.
Wang Chong's pupils constricted for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
Wang Chong blinked away, and a firefly of light emerged from his body. To the left of Wang Chong, a figure identical to Wang Chong appeared, and then a third, a fourth…
The power of time!
Twelve Heavens had appeared in the void, but they were not true avatars. Rather, they were twelve Heavens that had been extracted from different points in time and then fused with higher universal energy.
While Heaven's twelve avatars might appear identical to others, in Wang Chong's eyes, dim streams of golden light linked these twelve Heavens together.
For those beneath the Divine Martial realm, this sort of ability was unthinkable. but for Wang Chong, so long as he could understand how Heaven did it, he could do it himself.
Buzz!
Once everything was done, Heaven was facing ten identical Wang Chongs, each one wearing an identical suit of Samsara Battle Armor.
Wang Chong did not have as much time energy as Heaven, but through his own powers of comprehension, Wang Chong had been able to create ten avatars of himself.
At this stage in the battle, it was impossible to predict what the result would be.
All laws related to martial arts were useless on them.
If Genesis Supreme had been reborn, he wouldn't even have the right to fight with Wang Chong.
"Come!"
Wang Chong stared with bright eyes at the twelve Heavens.
Boom!
A moment later, Wang Chong and Heaven almost simultaneously lunged at each other.
Twelve Heavens and ten Wang Chongs battled fiercely at a speed faster than thought.
Rumble! Wherever they went, hundreds of millions of dimensions and planes crumbled under the power they displayed. It was enough to make anyone tremble in fear.
……
……
As Wang Chong and Heaven battled in the depths of spacetime, back on the continent, the battle between the human army and the Celestial Army had reached a fever pitch.
Raaaah!
Stentorian roars and the clashing of metal resounded across the battlefield.
The Doomsday Behemoths spat out their destructive flames, sending them flooding over the battlefield.
Moreover, as the scalding flames struck the ground, they triggered massive explosions.
"Ah!"
Screams rang out as countless infantry, archers, and cavalry were burned up and blasted into the air by the explosions.
Behind the Behemoths, the Celestial Army roared, following the Doomsday Behemoths in pursuit of the broken human army.
"Killkillkill!"
The muscular Celestial Army soldiers bellowed as they leaped upon and slaughtered the human soldiers like tigers amongst lambs.
"With just this, they dared to oppose our Celestial Army? Not knowing their own strength!"
A golden-armored Celestial Army soldier drenched in blood extracted his fist from the chest of a human soldier and coldly grunted.
The Celestial Army were an aloof existence. How did these mortal humans think they could oppose them?!
This was the consequence of offending the Celestial Emperor and opposing the gods.
"Kill them all! No survivors!"
The Celestial Army soldiers continued their advance, their expressions cold and cruel as they left the ground covered with corpses.
Bodies piled up like mountains and rivers of blood flowed!
This was true hell on earth!
The Celestial Army existed for war, and it had seen countless sights like this.
The Celestial Army had worked with the Doomsday Behemoths to destroy civilization after civilization. Moreover, they would enter a slumber after completing their mission, so for the Celestial Army, everything had seemingly happened only yesterday.
Two million!
In these few short moments, the human army had already suffered two million losses. This war was far crueler than had been imagined.
The situation was perilous, and the human army was in grave danger.
The commanders of the human army had red eyes from seeing all of this transpire.
Even so, none of the soldiers retreated, all of them fighting until the very last moment.
"How are the preparations? Can they go?" Crown Prince's Junior Guardian Wang Zhongsi said without turning his head.
"It's no good! The scope is too great." A voice came from the side. It was not one of Wang Zhongsi's trusted generals, but the slender and wise figure of former Ü-Tsang Imperial Minister Dalon Trinling. "If we want to get that level of effect, we have to use that method, but it's not something that can be readied in a short amount of time.
"If we use it too soon, the powerful energy ripples might draw their attention and render our efforts for naught.
"War is cruel, and what is at stake here is not one city, but the entire world. If we lose here, humanity will cease to exist.
"We cannot accept this sort of result."
Unlike Wang Zhongsi, Dalon Trinling was a civil official, but this was precisely why he was able to maintain his cool no matter the situation, just like when he had chosen to sacrifice himself to protect the Ü-Tsang Empire.
"Is there really no other way?" Wang Zhongsi said.
After a few moments of silence, Dalon Trinling said, "Our foe's methods are more frightening than we imagined. None of the intelligence we gathered mentioned enormous Behemoths like these."
They knew that Essence Supreme would create another Behemoth Army, but a Behemoth Army was a completely different concept from the Doomsday Beasts.
One Doomsday Beast alone was far superior to the entire Behemoth Army from the war of the northwest, and there were eight of them. Together with the Celestial Army, they presented an unimaginably powerful foe.
As the two were speaking, an enormous shift took place on the battlefield.
Roooar!
With a massive roar, the earth trembled, and a giant black silhouette flew through the sky and jumped onto one of the Doomsday Behemoths.
At this moment, everyone could clearly see that this was the King Ape, nearly one hundred meters tall, with bristling fur and sharp, savage teeth.
Bang!
With a massive boom, the giant King Ape swung its long metal cudgel, smashing it onto one of the heads of a Doomsday Beast.
Sparks exploded, the immense strength of the King Ape almost causing the ground beneath to crack.
Hiss!
The Doomsday Beast hissed as one of its heads swayed.
The King Ape was Wang Chong's first pet, obtained from the war of the northwest. It had tough flesh and boundless strength, and it was extremely agile. Thus, after Wang Chong had obtained the Behemoth Creation Art, the first creature he had chosen to produce in that secluded laboratory was a King Ape.
"Okay!"
The human soldiers instantly rallied.
"The Behemoth Army! It's the Behemoth Army!"
Although no one had seen the Behemoths over these last three years, the rumors regarding the Supreme King's Behemoths had been constant.
All the soldiers knew that a secret division had been using breeding technology to create these terrifying mythical Behemoths.
And finally, these Behemoths had arrived on the field.
Raaa! Furious roars resounded as that Doomsday Behemoth struck in the head began to fiercely counterattack.
One of the heads of this Doomsday Behemoth opened its maw and snapped at that King Ape, after which several of its other heads came over and bit down on the King Ape's head, arms, and torso.
Boom! The Doomsday Behemoth's several heads pulled at the same time, the horrifying strength tearing the King Ape apart.
The final head of the Doomsday Behemoth even spat out a gout of flame which immediately engulfed the King Ape and made it explode.
A moment later, that King Ape that had lunged out dropped from the sky in bits and chunks of scorched flesh.
This caught everyone off guard, and for a moment, the battlefield became eerily still.
