People, there are very few who can maintain sanity under intense pressure, especially when the power disparity between enemy and ally is vast.

In this world, the crushing power of the strong against the weak is absolute. Once a military formation is broken, the pressure exerted by thousands of King Level entities makes it extremely rare for anyone to remain composed; for most, even remembering to escape shows considerable resistance.

Thus, the armies of the Four Outer Spaces are now almost in chaos, a situation destined for slaughter, whereas it’s different with the Three-Eyed God General.

Perhaps because his troops have been engaged in long-term warfare, their will is more resolute, and combined with the efforts of the Three-Eyed God General as the commander in directing, they’ve managed to barely maintain order, but this is far from ideal.

My strategy itself actually has significant flaws. The Four Holy Army was temporarily elevated to this level, suddenly wielding such immense power; how could there not be side effects?

First, it won’t be too proficient in utilization, and if the power is overly exerted, its tremendous burden could cause the Four Holy Army to collapse under its own weight.

That Four Saints Armor hasn’t yet reached the level of being able to fully control King Level capabilities.

After all, when initially designed, the Ancient Demon Clan’s craftsmen likely didn’t anticipate this thing ever having the chance to ascend to King Level, as such a level requires resources, and there aren’t many available in the world.

Chen Qing couldn’t predict when those armors might collapse, but there was no choice; this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That fellow Elder Long was rarely so wise; once he reacts, it will be very difficult to inflict severe damage on his forces again.

Bam!

Short sword clashing with the Divine General’s long spear generated a terrifying shockwave, causing the surrounding Deputy Generals to be blown away. In an instant, sand and stones flew about, completely depriving the mainstay of any chance to command the troops.

The Divine General stared intently at Chen Qing: "You won’t be able to last long, right? This sword!"

Chen Qing defeating the Past Buddha was quite unexpected for him, but after all, the Past Buddha is one of the three leaders of the Buddha Kingdom; even if Chen Qing could win, it’s impossible for him to be unscathed.

The burden from using the Sword Dao Fruit’s power must be substantial, yet at this moment, he still dares to stand alone against him!

Such audacity indeed.

"Won’t last long, but it’s enough to use at critical moments.

" Chen Qing coldly replied, "Looks like you’ve changed quite a bit. The Divine General of the past wouldn’t have cared about this; if there’s a battle, then it’s a battle, never losing to anyone.

What happened to you now? Why do I feel like you’re becoming more and more like Elder Long? "

"You..." The Divine General was taken aback, a surge of unspoken anger rising in his heart.

Although Elder Long was his superior, when Chen Qing likened him to Elder Long, for some reason, a sense of indignation welled up within him.

"Isn’t that so?" Chen Qing sighed, "Why would you ask me how long I can endure? I’m a player; whatever I use up to clear the stage is fine. I’ll just find a way next time. You used to have this mindset; why don’t you have it now?"

The Divine General: "..."

"Let me tell you why. It’s because you’ve lived too long and have treated this place like your home, no longer viewing it as a game as you once did.

You have concerns now, thus you think about the future, and considering the future, you won’t have the sharpness you had before.

You... are no longer the Divine General with talents! "

"I..." A glimmer of confusion flashed through the Divine General’s eyes.

But it was only for a moment before clarity returned, and the long spear in his hand radiated light, sweeping across, instantly suppressing Chen Qing’s momentum back down.

"So what?" The Divine General smiled immediately, "Change is change, I don’t see anything wrong with that. You’re right, I do have things I can’t bear to lose now, but that doesn’t mean it’s made me weaker, does it?"

An inexplicable glimmer flashed in Chen Qing’s eyes; the sword edge turned, cleaving apart the blade’s light from the opponent, retreating ten zhang away, seriously observing the opponent.

Then he suddenly laughed: "I never said that. The present Divine General has not weakened; I believe you’re stronger than that battlefield lunatic from before."

"Is that so?" The Divine General smiled, "Then what about you? I’ve gotten stronger, can you still be my opponent?"

"Let’s find out..."

-----------------------------------------

"Has Ziwei arrived yet?"

The Heavenly Emperor in Heaven’s Court was suddenly filled with anxiety; within Vermilion Bird City, the situation had already become one-sided, eight thousand King Levels, he didn’t expect Chen Qing to have such a trump card, really took quite a fall.

Chen Qing, oh Chen Qing, such a menace should be completely suppressed, that old Liu fellow actually dared to exploit this guy, he’ll come to regret it sooner or later!

"Your Majesty, Lord Ziwei has already arrived at Southern Border and is quickly heading towards Vermilion Bird City, she’ll be there within fifteen minutes at most."

"Tell her to hurry, at all costs bringing the Heavenly King’s Army back to me safely!" Elder Long was evidently somewhat flustered, his tone no longer had the steadiness of before.

His subordinate Divine Generals exchanged glanced, their eyes flashed with a faint ambiguous glow.

"Report!!"

Suddenly, a Golden Armor Divine General rushed in, ragged with many torn wounds and pieces of flesh and blood with a pungent smell.

"What’s happened?"

The Heavenly Emperor’s heart sank, a strong sense of unease surged within him, could it be...

"Great Demons invasion, a lot of Great Demons, all four Tianmen have been attacked, along with the stars being controlled."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor’s face turned pale; why at this moment....

If he had known earlier that so many Extraterrestrial Demons had gathered at the perimeter, he would never have sent the entire Heavenly King’s Army down, acted hastily.

"Activate the Great Formation of Tianmen immediately, and all of you..... go support the four Tianmen!"

"Your Majesty!" A Divine General hurriedly said, "But the Star Mansion Land there..."

"Secure Heaven’s Court first!" The Heavenly Emperor roared in anger, "At this moment, still think about your own territory, what’s the use?"

Much more useful...

Many Divine Generals felt silently discontented; the resources in Heaven’s Court were for the Heavenly King’s Army, but their resources were scattered across those stars, many Divine Generals have accumulated wealth for tens of millions of years on them, how could they not be anxious?

You indeed want us to continue guarding here, but will our losses be compensated back then?

Judging from their attitude towards countering the Three-Eyed God General, the unwillingness seems apparent.

Looks like it’s time to start considering themselves.

"Tell Ziwei to activate the reverse Transmission Array immediately upon reaching Vermilion Bird City, at all costs!"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes became even more peculiar; once Ziwei activates the reverse transmission, she’ll have to guard the formation, likely to be the last one to retreat, the situation below, how is she possibly able to retreat?

Probably Chen Qing will realize and directly target her.

Does the Heavenly Emperor not understand these things?

He understands, but he still asks his daughter to fully activate the transmission, signaling that in order to preserve his current resources, he is willing to sacrifice his most outstanding daughter.

Ultimately, Elder Long is most biased... towards himself!

But they are curious, under these circumstances, will Lord Ziwei... still accept this order?
