The Trap Closes
When Xue Ying mentioned sending them to their deaths, the Nine Star Lineage experts behind him thought they had misheard.
Lu Ze alone commanded over 100,000 warriors from his own faction. After integrating the Ice Yi faction, his numbers had swelled to over 200,000.
More importantly, over 500 of them had successfully condensed their complete Life Runes, stepping into the ranks of Half-Step Emperor Lords.
But these weren’t ordinary Half-Step Emperor Lords—they could fight one against a hundred.
With such a force, they should be unstoppable on this battlefield.
And yet, Xue Ying said they were heading to their deaths?
Everyone was stunned. They had no idea what he meant.
Xue Ying swirled his wine cup, his tone calm.
**“The Qiankun Cauldron—one of the Ten Great Chaos Artifacts. Did you really think it would be so easy to obtain?
Even if someone manages to get their hands on it, what then? Can they immediately leave the Heavenly Domain Battlefield?
If they could, Long Chen would have already taken it and left the moment things became desperate. Any sacrifice made here would be meaningless.
If they can’t leave, then whoever takes the cauldron will become the next target of every force present.
The return portal hasn’t opened yet—this is not the right time to strike.
Lu Ze is a fool. If he wants to die, let him.”**
The Nine Star warriors around him shuddered.
Xue Ying’s insight and composure left them in complete awe.
The Qiankun Cauldron was right in front of them, yet he remained calm and rational.
Meanwhile, below them, the battlefield was drenched in blood, a grim display of what happened when warriors were blinded by greed.
"Long Chen, I want you DEAD!"
BOOM!
Lu Ze led 200,000 Nine Star warriors forward like an unstoppable tide.
Their aura was overwhelming, shattering the void itself. Countless shards of space danced in the air as their combined energy surged forward, crushing everything in its path.
"This is terrifying… Maybe this is what the strongest army in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths looks like."
"Not necessarily," someone countered. "They have the numbers and a higher cultivation level. That’s a huge advantage."
**"True. The Dragonblood Legion doesn’t even have a single Half-Step Emperor Lord. If they ever reach that level, no one can imagine how strong they’ll be.
But right now… against so many powerful Nine Star warriors, they’re doomed to be crushed."**
The Dragonblood Legion was fierce, but could they withstand this kind of force?
As Lu Ze’s army stormed forward, the Nether River Demonic Clan and the Outer Realm Dragon Clan suddenly retreated, clearing a path for them.
The Dragonblood Legion was a tough opponent, but these factions had decided to let the Nine Star warriors handle them.
The Change in the Battlefield
Swoosh!
Lu Ze and his army rushed into the Star Domain, but the moment they entered—
Something strange happened.
The terrifying spatial suppression that had been weighing down on everyone suddenly loosened.
The restriction that had affected both friend and foe had weakened, allowing everyone to move more freely.
Even those who had been completely immobilized by the pressure suddenly regained their ability to fight.
But they knew… they couldn’t stop this charge.
Yet, they charged anyway.
"Stand down."
At that moment, the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron echoed in their minds.
A gentle force swept through the battlefield, parting the Dragonblood warriors to both sides.
A path opened.
On one side, the enemies had already moved aside.
Now, the Dragonblood Legion was doing the same.
The sight stunned everyone.
"They’re giving up?"
"This isn’t like them."
"What choice do they have? Die in vain?"
"Maybe… maybe this is the right move."
"So much for the ‘number one legion in the world.’"
Outside forces watched with mixed reactions.
Some sighed. Some mocked.
Many of these warriors hailed from the Nine Heavens World and the Chaos Realm—sworn enemies, yet they had set aside their grudges because of one thing:
The Qiankun Cauldron.
There are no eternal enemies—only eternal interests.
At this moment, that truth had never been clearer.
A Fist into Thin Air
With the Dragonblood Legion stepping aside, Lu Ze—who had been fully prepared for an all-out clash—felt like he had punched empty air.
He had been ready to crush them, to erase the Dragonblood Legion from existence.
Instead…
They had simply let him pass.
A flicker of unease stirred in Lu Ze’s heart.
Something wasn’t right.
But his army was already at full charge. There was no turning back now.
The Trap Springs
BOOM!
Lu Ze reached the barrier surrounding the Qiankun Cauldron.
His Star Bone Claw smashed down, sending shockwaves through the battlefield.
The barrier trembled. Even the Qiankun Cauldron itself quivered from the impact.
And at that moment—
A certain green-feathered parrot perched on the cauldron snapped its head around, its beady eyes brimming with murderous intent.
**"You little bastard!
You dare interrupt Grandpa Six’s meal?
Looks like it’s time for you idiots to learn a lesson!"**
The parrot's wings snapped shut, a dazzling green glow surging around its body.
Then—
WHOOSH!
It flung its wings open, releasing a blinding green light that instantly engulfed Lu Ze’s entire army.
"Dodge! NOW!"
Lu Ze’s scalp went numb.
An unparalleled sense of danger gripped his soul.
He turned, ready to flee—
POP!
Too late.
The green wave had already washed over them all.
Strangely, there was no explosion, no pain.
Instead, they simply felt a strange warmth flowing through their bodies.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
"Hmph! Just a bluff! You think you can scare us?!"
A Nine Star warrior sneered. Realizing he was unharmed, he charged at the barrier again, striking wildly.
Lu Ze also noticed that nothing had changed.
He let out a cold snort and joined the attack.
The Nightmare Begins
The barrier had originally been created by Xia Chen.
But after the green parrot arrived, the barrier’s power had changed—it was no longer under Xia Chen’s control.
Now, it resonated with the parrot’s strange power.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Lu Ze’s forces bombarded the barrier with everything they had.
But no matter how hard they attacked…
The barrier remained unbroken.
Lu Ze’s patience snapped.
**"Damn you, feathered freak! Let’s see how long you can hold out!
Everyone—ignite your Star Power and summon the Eight Stars!"**
But before they could act—
"Lord Lu Ze, look—!"
A panicked scream came from behind him.
Lu Ze spun around—
And when he saw what was happening…
His face twisted in absolute horror.
Final Thought:
They thought they were invincible. But now, the real nightmare begins! What did that green light do to them?! Next chapter is going to be insane! 🔥
