The ten-million-strong army of the Night Mo Heaven Universe launched their siege without warning, catching the Tianyuan Universe forces completely off guard.
As a result, the soldiers of Tianyuan found themselves facing far more enemies than they were used to.
Right now, for instance, Squad 0811 was up against three squads’ worth of troops from the Night Mo Heaven Universe.
Among them were six Supreme Realm powerhouses and dozens of Immortal Emperor cultivators.
For Squad 0811, this lineup was an enormous challenge—or rather, a life-or-death trial.
The Supreme Realm experts from Night Mo Heaven looked at the members of Squad 0811 and grinned sinisterly.
“Hehehe! I can’t believe we caught so many little fish this time. What a blessing for us!”
“No kidding! This war, our Night Mo Heaven Universe is guaranteed to win!”
“Of course! Normally we’re just messing around, but this time Lord Night God is serious. They have nowhere to run!”
If these Night Mo Heaven soldiers had only been spewing arrogant words, Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress wouldn’t have reacted much.
But the moment they heard the name “Night God,” both of their expressions shifted instantly.
Others might not know who Night God was, but Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress certainly did.
After all, they were the ones who had destroyed one of Night God’s avatars before.
Because of that, both of them had a nagging feeling—that Night God might very well be targeting them personally.
They didn’t know where this premonition came from, but it was strong.
So the two exchanged a glance.
Neither said a word, but both understood: they needed to be careful and not stand out too much.
Otherwise, they’d likely draw unwanted attention.
This prompted the Divine Dragon Empress to hold back a little with her swordsmanship, while Ye Wushuang didn’t use his sword at all—he stuck solely to his flames.
The battle began.
Ye Wushuang’s Phoenix True Flame burst forth, surging straight toward the Supreme Realm experts of Night Mo Heaven.
To those experts, this looked almost laughable.
“Seriously? He’s just an Immortal Emperor cultivator, and instead of going after other Immortal Emperors, he’s coming straight for us? Has he lost his mind?”
“Hahaha! I’d say he’s not just crazy—he’s completely unhinged. I’ve seen people challenge Supreme Realm experts before, but an Immortal Emperor picking a fight with so many of us at once? Never in my life!”
“Hehe! Since he’s so eager to fight us, how about we grant his wish and wipe him out together?”
“Fine by me! I love crushing Immortal Emperors anyway!”
If any other Immortal Emperor heard those words, they’d probably be scared stiff.
Having so many Supreme Realm powerhouses gunning for you was practically a death sentence.
But Ye Wushuang’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.
Even without using his sword, even without his “One Force Breaks All Techniques,” he could still kill Supreme Realm experts with just his flames.
Likewise, the Divine Dragon Empress remained completely calm.
The moment Ye Wushuang made his move, she struck as well.
Her sword intent was hidden within Ye Wushuang’s sea of flames.
If you weren’t paying close attention, you might very well be killed by the sword intent concealed inside.
But the Supreme Realm experts from Night Mo Heaven didn’t care that the Divine Dragon Empress had joined in.
To them, it made no difference.
One Immortal Emperor was a kill—two were still a kill.
For them, Immortal Emperors were all the same.
Some of them even completely ignored Ye Wushuang’s flames and the Divine Dragon Empress’s sword intent, trying to grab the two of them directly.
Heishan and Heishi noticed all of this but didn’t bother to warn anyone.
Instead, they charged straight at the other Night Mo Heaven Immortal Emperors to help their squadmates hold the line.
As for those Supreme Realm experts—they simply stopped paying them any attention.
Because they knew that with Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress’s combat power, the two of them could handle the Night Mo Heaven Supreme Realm experts just fine.
The Night Mo Heaven Supreme Realm experts, of course, had no idea about this and were utterly bewildered.
“What’s this supposed to mean? They’re abandoning their Immortal Emperors?”
“Seems like it. Or maybe they’re trying to trade their Immortal Emperors for ours?”
“Now that you mention it, that might actually be it!”
“But with just the few of them, how could they possibly pull off a trade? The ones who’d lose out would be them!”
Heishan and Heishi’s actions made no sense to the Night Mo Heaven Supreme Realm experts.
Still, even if they didn’t understand, that didn’t stop them from making their move.
After watching Heishan and Heishi go after their Immortal Emperors, they didn’t hesitate for a second—they attacked Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress.
It was clear from their expressions: they intended to kill both of them.
Heishan and Heishi weren’t surprised by this, nor did they intervene in the fight between Ye Wushuang, the Divine Dragon Empress, and the Night Mo Heaven Supreme Realm experts.
In the next moment, Ye Wushuang’s Phoenix True Flame spread directly onto the Night Mo Heaven Supreme Realm experts, setting them ablaze instantly.
This caught them off guard, but they didn’t panic.
They had no idea how fearsome the Phoenix True Flame really was—they assumed it was just ordinary fire.
So even though the burns were agonizing, they kept their composure.
“Hmph! A piddling little flame like that, and you think it can burn us Supreme Realm experts to death? How ridiculous!”
“Haha! Exactly. They naively think Immortal Emperors and Supreme Realm experts are on the same level. What they don’t realize is that we’re worlds apart!”
“Fine then. Today, let’s give them a proper lesson—show them just how vast the gap is between an Immortal Emperor and a Supreme Realm powerhouse.”
With that, they channeled their spiritual energy to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
Their plan was simple: put out the fire, then kill Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress.
But when they actually tried to douse the flames, they quickly realized—things were not at all what they had imagined.
