Chapter 8
The Black Dragon's Phantom Devours Nine Saints, 70 Million Golden Fire Cavalry

A low, powerful dragon roar echoed through the heavens.

The nine Great Saints, witnessing the towering black dragon shadow descending, trembled in fear.

The black dragon phantom, born from the combined power of the Formation Camp, possessed a strength comparable to a Saint King. The nine Great Saints, mere cultivators of the Great Saint Realm, were no match.

Under the horrified gazes of all, the nine Great Saints were swallowed whole by the black dragon shadow.

“Hiss!”

Instantly, a chorus of gasps and intakes of breath resonated throughout this world.

The entire battlefield fell silent.

The three Great Saints engaged in a fierce battle with Feng Qing Heng, upon witnessing this scene, were struck with terror. Having punched back Feng Qing Heng, they retreated ten thousand miles away, their eyes filled with fear.

“Kill!!”

After the black dragon shadow devoured the nine Great Saints, the million soldiers of the Formation Camp, under Hu Wei's leadership, charged back into the battlefield.

A merciless slaughter, like butchering chickens and fish, began anew.

However, unbeknownst to everyone, as the Formation Camp slaughtered more enemy soldiers, the black dragon shadow circling in the heavens grew even more terrifying in power.

“This is... the Formation Camp?”

On the battlefield, Feng Qing Heng, his breath ragged and a trickle of blood escaping his lips, widened his eyes in disbelief. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

He had thought that even with the combined might of nine Great Saints, even the powerful Formation Camp would be crushed, unable to withstand the onslaught.

But the Formation Camp had shocked him, pleasantly surprised him. They had effortlessly slain the nine Great Saints.

...

High in the heavens, an even more terrifying battle raged on.

Infinite power caused the sky to rumble, Daoist energies filled the air, and thunder rolled across the heavens.

The four Saint Kings were now stained with blood.

“This man... is truly terrifying.”

The Sky Martial Marquis of the Sky Star Dynasty, once again forced to retreat by a strike from Gao Shun, was utterly astonished.

The four of them, all cultivators of the Saint King Six Heavens, possessed unparalleled strength. Even with their combined might, they couldn't kill Gao Shun, and they were all left wounded.

“Damn it.”

“Is the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty really this terrifying?”

Taking a deep breath, the Sky Martial Marquis shifted his gaze from the heavens to the battlefield below.

However, upon seeing what lay before him, his face turned pale, and a new wave of shock flashed in his eyes.

“The formation... ”

Even though he had attained the realm of Saint King, the Sky Martial Marquis still felt a threat from the Formation Camp's battle formation.

He knew that today’s battle would be a difficult one.

At this thought, the Sky Martial Marquis’ heart filled with a chilling dread.

The five transcendent powers of the Xuan Domain had united to attack the Great Qin Dynasty.

While not their full strength, the combined army they had brought was still terrifyingly large.

It could be said that no matter if it was the three great dynasties or the two holy lands, facing such a formidable force, they would be powerless to resist.

They would be instantly crushed!

But the Great Qin Dynasty, with only a single Saint King and a million elite soldiers, had blocked their path at Tianmen Pass. They were even on the verge of defeat.

“We have no path back from this battle…”

His face ashen, the Sky Martial Marquis looked on in horror as Gao Shun fought alone against three Saint Kings, yet showed no signs of strain. His killing intent rose to a fever pitch.

This battle had begun.

They and the Great Qin Dynasty had officially declared war, a conflict that would end only with death.

If they failed to destroy the Great Qin Dynasty today, the Great Qin Dynasty would surely seek revenge upon them one by one in the future.

“Kill!”

With his thoughts settled, the Sky Martial Marquis took a deep breath. His Daoist energy surged, his blood like a true dragon, and his spear swept forward as he stepped onto the battlefield.

Once again, he charged towards Gao Shun.

......

......

Great Qin Dynasty, Xianyang.

In the Zhangtai Palace, Qin Zheng watched as the killing value steadily climbed, its increase relentless.

In just a mere hour, it had exploded from zero to a staggering one hundred million.

“It seems the war has truly begun.”

Qin Zheng spoke in a cold tone, lifting his eyes slightly, his gaze piercing through the void, reaching out to Tianmen Pass.

His cultivation had reached the Saint King Realm due to the blessings of the Mandate of Heaven, allowing him to see through the void, even though Tianmen Pass was a hundred million miles away from Xianyang.

“The Formation Camp, truly terrifying.”

Seeing the performance of the Formation Camp, Qin Zheng showed no surprise.

The Formation Camp, an elite unit that could be considered a supreme army, naturally held terrifying strength.

Qin Zheng glanced at the battlefield outside the pass before shifting his focus towards the heavens. That was where the most crucial battle was taking place.

However, he withdrew his gaze after just a moment, deciding not to pay any more attention. After all, four mere Saint Kings of the Sixth Heaven were no match for Gao Shun.

“One hundred million killing value.”

He withdrew his gaze, and looked at the newly acquired one hundred million killing value on his system panel. His eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He muttered, “It's time to summon another elite army.”

Although the Formation Camp was strong, its numbers were too small. Faced with the current situation, they could still repel the enemy and even terrify them.

But if the three dynasties deployed their full might, the Formation Camp alone would be insufficient.

The Great Qin Dynasty had only a little over thirty million elite soldiers. Most of them were stationed outside the Ten Thousand Mountains, preventing the Demon Race from causing trouble, and couldn't be easily moved.

“System, summon seventy million soldiers using seventy million killing value.”

His thoughts churning, Qin Zheng wasted no time and began a new summoning.

【Summoning…】

【Congratulations, host, you have successfully summoned seventy million Golden Fire Cavalry soldiers】

......

【Troops: Golden Fire Cavalry】

【Quantity: Seventy million】

【Introduction: Wind! Strong wind!!; Against foreign races, combat power will be boosted. If led by General Meng Tian, combat power against foreign races will be doubled】

【Details: One Great Saint Nine Heavens deputy, one thousand Half-Saint Lieutenant… All soldiers are at the Cave Heaven Realm】

......

Seeing the newly summoned Golden Fire Cavalry, Qin Zheng couldn’t help but smile.

This Golden Fire Cavalry was undoubtedly powerful.

Although their soldiers' cultivation was a realm lower than the Formation Camp's, they outnumbered them by a factor of seven. This Golden Fire Cavalry would be invincible in the face of the other three dynasties.

“This description, this Golden Fire Cavalry is more suited for a war against foreign races.”

“Especially if led by Meng Tian.”

After reading the system's description of the Golden Fire Cavalry, Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Although he wasn't born during the Demon Calamity that occurred a hundred years ago, a calamity that severely weakened the Great Qin Dynasty's foundation, his hatred for the Demon Race was no less than anyone else's.

“Ten Thousand Mountains, Demon Race.”

“Once I have purged all the scoundrels in the Xuan Domain…”

Qin Zheng let out a cold laugh and dismissed his thoughts. Then he asked the system directly, “System, can I directly summon Meng Tian to exist?”
