The thunderbolt cannon was constantly roaring, lobbing bombardments on the Demon Abyss Army's position, transforming their zone into a sea of thunder.
For Chu Yuan, since he had the Thunderbolt Cannon for suppression, there was no need to launch an attack prematurely.
Rather, he decided to watch the show and deplete the enemy's strength from a distance while enjoying the sight of their bombardment.
With the booming of the Thunderbolt Cannon, even the ancient massive city, the suspended Imperial City, was almost leveled to the ground at this moment, eradicated from the land, taking away the last trace of the suspended Imperial Dynasty.
The powerful warriors in the Demon Abyss Army clenched their teeth.
Never since they had been campaigning in the suspended domain, had they suffered such losses. Each time it was like crushing decayed wood, but now Chu Yuan made them taste the pangs of defeat.
Indeed, this time they were merely recoiling under attack.
Qi Zhen acknowledged that if he allowed the bombardment to continue , his millions of elite soldiers would become live targets and would suffer devastating damage.
"Demon God's Shield!"
Qi Zhen was, after all, a prominent figure in the Original Spirit Realm.
His body suddenly shook, taking flight. Although he was only one person, standing there he seemed as majestic as a mountain. He extended his hands and in no time a massive Demon God's Shield appeared, blocking all the artillery fire from afar.
"Martial Emperor, do you think that you can stop my Demon Abyss Army just by relying on a giant cannon? Nine Great Commanders, lead the army to attack. This time I want to capture and kill the Martial Emperor, take that giant cannon and bestow it to our Demon Abyss lord. If the Demon Abyss Dynasty can possess it, it will be a huge merit!"
Qi Zhen manifested the power of the Demon King, ready to block the artillery fire with his individual strength.
"Kill, kill, kill! I do not believe that his Dawu troops can resist us, the Demon Abyss Army. Everyone, charge and decapitate them!"
A God Position commander roared, and countless Demon Abyss troops immediately shouted in response. Led by more than eighty God position powerhouses at an extremely fast pace, they charged at the Dawu troops.
The Demon Abyss troops were indeed brave and experienced, incredibly elite; they rushed under the bombardment of the artillery fire, each with a bloodthirsty gleam in their eyes.
At the moment the horn sounded, the elite troops assembled by Dawu also charged forward.
Before the Demon Abyss troops could reach them, hundreds of millions of people fired rockets from their crossbows first. Numerous crossbow arrows immediately exploded within the Demon Abyss troops. Although the penetration of the rocket crossbow was not strong, the instantaneous explosion still caused considerable damage to the enemy.
"Don't give the enemy the chance to fire crossbow arrows!"
The Demon Abyss troops, after all, were assembled at the Original Spirit Realm; their charging speed was fast. After only a few volleys, they charged forward from under the cover of the rocket crossbows.
But this was just the beginning.
Enter the Godslayer crossbow!
This time Chu Yuan, by assembling his realm, had refined countless Meteor Spirit Gold.
So this time, all the crossbow arrows were made of spirit gold. The penetration power was too terrifying and under the massive area coverage, not even the mana shield of the Divine Realm powerhouses could stop these many, as they were being shot into hedgehogs.
"Damn it, Dawu's equipment is too elite!"
Naturally, those charged at the forefront were the several dozens God Position existences. They acted in unison, casting their God Position spells to suppress the enemy's arrows.
"Your opponents are us!"
On the side of the Dawu Dynasty, the God Position powerhouses also took to the air; more than sixty God Position holders jointly unleashed a strike.
Boom! The confrontation of hundreds of God Positions twisted the void, creating a terrifying pit on the plains ahead.
"The Will of the Demon Abyss!"
They all possessed a kind of Will of the Demon Abyss, which was the air transported from the Demon Abyss Dynasty, connecting their breaths together, and directly evoking an ancient and gloomy Demon God.
"The will on these people is too powerful, ancient Demon God!"
Dawu's God Positions felt a tremendous pressure, as if they were being invaded by a demonic will.
"They have the Will of the Demon Abyss, but I have the Air Transportation of Dawu, the Supreme Human Way, the Mid-human Emperor, the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, the Air Transport of Dawu!"
Chu Yuan shone brightly, transforming into a majestic figure. He harnessed the power of the Human Emperor to annihilate the ancient Demon God. As he motioned, radiant vitality of Dawu permeated like a rainbow, aiding everyone present.
Now, every citizen of Dawu was fervently praying for the victory of the army, the amassed vitality was terrifyingly formidable.
"Such strong vital force, even though I'm in the eighth rank of the God Position, I feel with this power, those in the ninth and even tenth rank are no match for me!"
The Great Wu Lord exclaimed in shock.
Instantly, under the amplification of Dawu's vital force, they were able to resist the pressure exerted by their opponents.
At this moment, the Demon Abyss army was getting close to the Dawu troop. The close-quarter combat was about to start.
Everyone in the Dawu troop was blessed by the vital force. It was as if the strength of billions of citizens had fused into the bodies of the hundreds of millions soldiers, instantly raising their Solar Blade high.
Seen from afar, the light extended, refracting a bright red glow.
The Demon Abyss troop excelled at combining powers.
For every ten thousand people, they could form a formation and metamorphose into a Demon Abyss God, with powers multiplying exponentially.
If you were to overlook from the sky, you'd find fearsome Demon Abyss Gods appearing on the earth, revealing varieties of brutally cold powers that could tear apart all the enemies before them.
"Humph! You have combo attacks, but we in Dawu have even more powerful equipment!"
Seeing the Demon Abyss God approaching, a Dawu strongman sneered.
"Solar Blades, combine your attacks and tear them all apart!"
At this moment, there were over a hundred million soldiers raising their Solar Blades simultaneously. Infinite flames were released. The Dawu troop transformed into a blazing star. The flaming light blades in everyone's hands released sword lights dozens of meters long.
Over a hundred million sword lights slashed out, turning the battlefront into a sea.
The countless Demon Abyss Gods combined were instantly shattered by the Solar Blades, the formation immediately dissipated.
The scorching light, in a moment, devoured numerous Demon Abyss soldiers in flames, burning them to ashes.
The strong Solar Blades perfectly countered the Demon Abyss powers.
"Solar Blade, Solar Blade Formation!"
Although the Demon Abyss troop boasted high individual qualities, the picked elites from tens of billions of citizens on Dawu side were also equipped with Dawu's best weapons. Furthermore, they were blessed by Dawu's prosperous destiny, each of them was seemingly invincible.
This was a territorial battle, a battle to defend the domain.
The most crucial factor was Chu Yuan. Like the omnipresent sun, he ceaselessly shined on them.
In close combat, the Dawu army didn't fear the Demon Abyss troop at all.
For every step the Dawu troop advanced, the Solar Blade would exert a strike. With each blazing blade slashing out, the flame raged within the Demon Abyss troop, turning the territory into a sea of fire, devouring countless enemies.
The fight between the two giant forces eventually came down to a competition of strength.
The stronger, the fiercer.
On Chu Yuan's side, they had rocket crossbows, god-exterminating crossbows, and Solar Blades. Every single piece of equipment completely overwhelmed the individual equipment of the Demon Abyss troop.
Now, the army facing the Demon Abyss troop was not the previously individualistic Imperial Dynasty but a united one.
In this immediate confrontation, the two sides hadn't even rightly begun close combat and yet, the Demon Abyss troop was already suffering heavy casualties.
Every moment, tens of thousands were being killed.
