Chapter 1703: Twilight Battlefield! Crushed 12 Sovereigns of Transcendent Will!
The Taotie Dragon did not hesitate—he joined the Jiayang Divine Realm without a second thought, becoming its most powerful vehicle, and currently the mightiest transportation in the ultimate void cosmos.
Not only had he been saved by the Celestial Sovereign King, but his enemies had also been vanquished by him. How could he possibly refuse?
He would never admit it—his decision to join the Jiayang Divine Realm was not born of fear, of seeing the Celestial Sovereign King’s methods and dreading that he might apply them to himself. It was not fear that compelled him, but rather a deep-seated reluctance.
No, absolutely not!
As for Zhou Yu, he cared not for such details.
All he knew was that the other had indeed agreed to join his divine realm.
That was enough.
"Zero."
"Recalculate—given the assistance of the Taotie Dragon in our journey, how many major cosmos factions can we conquer in a single day now?"
Zhou Yu immediately asked.
"Report to the Emperor, I have already calculated it."
"Given the known average speed of the Tuo Long, I have concluded that, at most, we can subdue twenty-four major cosmic powers per day."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then, let us set out now."
"We must first catch up with the legions that have already scattered to conquer various cosmic powers, reorganize them, and then proceed to subdue the major cosmic powers within each ultimate void cosmos."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zero spoke respectfully.
Then it immediately issued orders to the Tuo Long, instructing it to proceed according to the Emperor's directions.
Seeing Zhou Yu's command and the designated route map, the Tuo Long sighed lightly, thinking, 'The carefree, lazy days are over.' With no choice, it obediently began moving at full speed along the assigned path.
...
The battlefield at dusk.
After leading his army into this place, Zhou Zhan began to observe it with careful attention.
Though this site had been mentally rehearsed in his mind dozens of times, the moment he stood here in person, he still cast a cautious gaze upon the scene before him.
Before him, the shattered sky was torn apart into swirling hues of dusk yellow.
The bones of gods lay scattered across the ground, their remains draped with the twilight inferno—a fire so terrifying that even the gods themselves would tremble before it.
He looked up at the sky and saw countless stars scattered across the heavens.
It was said that when warriors died upon the battlefield of dusk, their divine essences or will cores would transform into stars, embedded into the sky above.
This place had existed for ages—through countless wars, through the ebb and flow of time. From afar, the stars woven into the sky were dense, countless, like a tapestry woven from the very fabric of fate.
Zhou Zhan sighed softly, his gaze drifting away.
At that moment—
Bai Yun, who had come with Zhou Zhan, swiftly flew forward and bowed respectfully, "Report to the Emperor, a contingent of the Xiwang Clan is approaching our position. What should we do?"
"Such a coincidence? Just as we arrive, we encounter enemies?"
Zhou Zhan furrowed his brow slightly, then asked, "How many soldiers are in this Xiwang Clan contingent? What is their strongest warrior?"
"Report to the Emperor. According to the Tian Tu Legion's intelligence,"
"The enemy has approximately 100 yao of divine-level soldiers, 20 yao of divine-level true gods, 1 million master gods, 1,000 supreme gods, and five beings of boundless will."
"As for those beyond the realm of will, none have been detected yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu burst into laughter.
After all, the core essence had placed immense importance on this twilight battlefield expedition, assigning every remaining soldier and spirit under its command—excluding the National Defense Legion, the Huangtian Cosmic Battlefield Army, the Crimson Cosmic Battlefield Army, the Supreme Cosmic Battlefield Army, and Zhou Yu himself leading the Ultimate Void Cosmic Conquest Legion—into His direct fold. There were no less than 5,000 yao of ordinary spirits and 200 zha of true gods alone.
Among other divine beings, there were another 500 million master gods, 5,000 supreme gods, 30 beings of boundless will, and 5 beings transcending the realm of will!
A strategy built entirely on caution and absolute security.
And in this situation, dare the other side advance with such a meager force and challenge me directly?
This is not an enemy—it's a dish being served right to my table.
"Destroy them."
Zhou Zhan waved his hand carelessly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Bai Yun bowed respectfully.
Immediately, she led a vast army to annihilate this deluded race.
A moment later.
Bai Yun returned with her forces.
"Report to Your Majesty—everything has been fully eliminated."
He respectfully reported back.
Zhou Zhan nodded, then looked upon this twilight battlefield drenched in fire and blood, and ordered, "First, go find the teachers and join forces with them."
The moment the words left his lips,
a map appeared in his mind, along with the voice of the Supreme Will.
Only two words.
"Come quickly!"
Zhou Zhan's expression grew solemn. He immediately shared this map with Zero, then instructed Zero to pilot a vessel of supreme, unbounded will, guiding the entire army at high speed toward the location designated by the Supreme Will.
Twilight battlefield.
The site where the forces of the Illusory Clan clashed against the might of the Supreme Cosmic Power.
At this very moment, the two armies were locked in a fierce, raging battle.
The forces committed by both sides—merely the divine beings alone—numbered nearly 1,000 jiā—yet at this very moment, those nearly 1,000 jiā of divine beings had been reduced to just 200 jiā.
A staggering 800 jiā of divine beings had perished in this battlefield, a slaughter ground that functioned like a divine grinder.
And beyond the divine beings—
No less than ten Supreme Will-tier beings had fallen on both sides.
Six of them belonged to the Supreme Cosmic Realm, while four were from the Clan of Illusion.
Fortunately, thanks to the resurrection elixir bestowed upon them by Zhou Zhou, these six fallen Supreme Will-tier warriors had not only been revived but had returned to the battlefield in full strength and perfect condition.
Now,
Standing at the rear of the battlefield, Tian Chen God King, Chunqiu Law Master, and Wan Xia Demon Master all gazed downward with solemn expressions.
A Supreme Will-tier warrior murmured quietly, "Our Supreme Will-tier forces and divine beings are dwindling with every battle, while the enemy continuously transports more divine beings and Supreme Will-tier warriors from their Illusory Great World. How can we continue? If we keep fighting, we will run out of supplies—there will be nothing left at all."
"Ah, although the Celestial Sovereign Prince has generously supplied us with vast quantities of resurrection and healing artifacts, both resurrection and healing require time—there's simply no way to keep up with the pace of their attacks."
"We've already achieved as much as we could. After all, we are fighting against the Wandering Race, a force comparable to an entire ultimate void cosmos, using only the power of a single great cosmic realm. We should be proud of that."
"Now is not the time for sentimentality. We don't need to boast—we need solutions!"
"What are you glaring at me for? What else could I possibly do besides reflect? Do you expect me to come up with a solution? Even the Great Everlasting Sovereign might not be able to resolve this."
...
These exchanges of the Supreme Will Realm beings filtered into the ears of the Heavenly Punishment God.
They knew.
Under the relentless onslaught of the Wandering Race, their morale had begun to waver.
Yet they truly did not know what to do next.
If all else failed, they would have to summon their master once again to buy them more time.
But this could only alleviate the pain for a short while. Soon enough, once the other side sent a peer-level powerhouse, the situation would only grow more perilous.
At that very moment.
The voice of the Supreme Will echoed within His mind.
He stiffened at first, then his face lit up with sudden delight as he turned to gaze around him.
Soon.
He spotted a lone spacecraft approaching from afar.
Though only one vessel, the sight of the Jiayang Kingdom's flag emblazoned upon it caused a sudden easing in His heart—like the present danger had been dramatically mitigated.
"What is that?"
At that instant.
Many of the powerful ones also noticed the vessel coming toward them, and soon identified the constellation-arched sun emblem on its surface.
"It's the flag of the Prairial Divine Realm!"
"The Prairial Divine Realm has sent an army to support us!"
"There's the aura of the Supreme Sovereign of the People within the ship—the Supreme Sovereign of the People has arrived!"
"I always said the Supreme Sovereign of the People would come. I was right, weren't I?"
"Actually, given the Supreme Sovereign's unparalleled ability to cultivate powerful beings, I still think it would be wiser for me to stay behind."
...
The supreme beings of the Unconstrained Will Realm expressed great excitement.
At that moment,
the cosmic vessel of the Prairial Divine Realm had reached the battlefield.
It gradually came to a halt, then its hatch opened, and soon after, 5000 yao of divine spirits, 200 million true gods, 500 million master gods, 5,000 supreme gods, 30 beings of the Supreme Will Realm, and 5 beings of will transcending realms emerged one by one, swiftly organizing themselves into formation, standing in perfect order above the battlefield, their military discipline immaculate as they surveyed the ancient, blood-stained field below.
The mighty ones, gazing upon the terrifying aura emanating from each other's bodies, suddenly sensed something profoundly amiss.
No, it was far more than amiss.
"Have any of you noticed that the soldiers and generals under the Celestial Sovereign's command have undergone a transformation in their military units—seemingly elevated to a higher tier?"
"That power feels so familiar... as if I've seen it before."
"I remember now. I once felt this very aura in the ranks of the Supreme Legion under the Supreme Will. That was the power of units beyond all classification—units without a superior. Could it be that the military units under the Celestial Sovereign have all been promoted to such unranked, transcendent grades?"
"It's impossible to be mistaken. I've seen it clearly—this is definitely the power of units beyond all classification."
"My goodness, thousands of such unranked units, each possessing divine strength. This power and influence... I believe even the Supreme Legion of the Supreme Will would be utterly outmatched by them."
"The origin of the soldiers brought by the Celestial Sovereign has always remained a mystery."
"With such powerful troops, so numerous, I feel we might have a chance after all!"
"Yes, we might just have a chance!"
……
There was no supreme will-level powerhouse who didn't instantly realize it, shouting with joy.
Other supreme will-level beings quickly grasped the situation, their faces lighting up with delight.
Tian Chen God King, Chongqiu Law Master, and Wan Xie Magic Master were no exception.
"Brother Two truly is Brother Two!"
"Absolutely incredible!"
Wan Xie Magic Master exclaimed with joy.
Tian Chen God King and Chongqiu Law Master both nodded, smiling.
At that very moment,
Zhou Zhan stepped out of the cosmic spacecraft, gazing down upon the battlefield below.
Then perhaps because of their overly bold and undaunted appearance, the soldiers on the lower battlefield also turned their gaze toward themselves.
Zhou Zhan's expression remained unchanged. His willpower first swept across the entire battlefield, swiftly assessing the overall troop strength.
"There are still over three hundred realm gods left."
"Among the transcendents of the Supreme Will, the Void Clan still has one hundred and six remaining."
"Among the Will-Transcendent tier, the Void Clan still holds twelve."
Zhou Zhan murmured to himself, then took a deep breath.
He turned his gaze toward the direction of Tian Chen God King, speaking calmly, "Ladies and gentlemen, you've all worked hard."
"The next steps will be taken by my Jiaoyang Divine Realm army."
The great cosmic strongmen were stunned.
The Jiaoyang Divine Realm army?
What does this mean?
Could it be that the Lord of the People, Your Highness, intends to challenge the entire army of the Illusory Clan across this battlefield with nothing but his own might?
This this this… it’s too dangerous!
"No! Brother Two!"
The Heavenly Punishment God immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Yet Zhou Zhan had no intention of listening to his elder brother's words.
They still didn't fully comprehend their own strength.
So, if that's the case—
Today, let the fellow beings of the Supreme Cosmos witness firsthand the true weight of the title, "Lord of the People."
"Kill!"
Zhou Zhou spoke in a low, resolute tone, "Every single member of the Delusion Clan—none shall escape!"
"I will assist you, shielding you from the conceptual powers of the Delusion Clan, enabling you to subdue these creatures with greater ease!"
As soon as the words were spoken, he pressed his palms into seals, and in a deep voice declared, "King!"
At that very moment,
the collective strength of all soldiers of the Sunlight Kingdom—encompassing the power of the twelve transcendent will masters—was fully channeled into Zhou Zhan's body, amplified by a staggering five thousandfold!
Merely the power of those twelve transcendent will masters instantly elevated Zhou Zhan to a strength equivalent to sixty thousand transcendent will masters!
What a terrifying force!
At this very instant, Zhou Zhan felt an almost uncanny sensation—
that he could now push open the eternal gate of confinement.
Then, he raised his gaze upward.
Then he silently lowered his head.
Hmm.
It was indeed just an illusion.
Nevertheless, even so, dealing with these rank-weak fish and shrimp was a simple matter.
Immediately thereafter, He activated the domain technique "The Whole World Belongs to the King," expanding it instantaneously across the entire battlefield.
Though "The Whole World Belongs to the King" was currently a fourth-tier supreme god-level domain technique, with His top-tier will and transcendent-grade power driving it, its effect had been elevated to a level comparable to a higher-tier absolute will technique.
At this level, "The Whole World Belongs to the King" was sufficient to nullify 99% of the delusional race's conceptual god abilities on the battlefield.
Only the conceptual god abilities of delusional race masters with transcendent will could not be nullified.
But that didn't matter.
For Zhou Zhan would instantly eliminate them.
"Come!"
Zhou Zhan extended his right hand, reaching toward the void before him as if grabbing a chick.
When he pulled his hand back, he saw twelve tiny figures now cradled in his grasp.
Precisely the twelve will-ascended masters of the Vain Clan, those who had stood on the battlefield.
Zhou Zhan glanced at them, nodded, and said: "Five lower-tier will-ascended masters, five mid-tier will-ascended masters, and two upper-tier will-ascended masters."
"Only a handful of will-ascended masters, and yet you dare to challenge the troubles of our Supreme Great Cosmos? You must be terribly underestimating us, the Supreme Great Cosmos."
"Grand Master of the People, what are you doing?!"
One of the upper-tier will-ascended masters shouted in terror.
He could scarcely imagine how the other had done it—simply by extending a hand, they were all caught, helpless, in his grip.
What kind of power was this?
Could it be that the other party had already reached the legendary realm of near-immortality?
At this moment, Zhou Zhan, upon hearing this, smiled faintly:
"What would I possibly do?"
"You'll find out right away."
And then,
His right hand suddenly clenched tightly, unleashing the Universal Method Star Palm. When he opened his hand again, all twelve of the will-ascended, delusional beings of the Void Clan had been extinguished within his grasp.
Every powerful being present—whether from the Void Clan or from the Supreme Cosmic Realm—stared in stunned silence.
This... just by clenching his fist, had all twelve will-ascended, delusional beings been annihilated?
What kind of nonsense is this?!
