Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

Chapter 461 Retreat for now (Third Update)_1

The battle was on the brink of eruption.

Both sides refrained from further chatter, diving headlong into the most brutal melee warfare, with feral ferocity.

Two torrential currents clashed and coalesced, immediately producing countless explosions and screams.

In the moment of collision, countless lives were extinguished, their blood flowing out, turning this golden river into a blood-tinged hue.

"Dawu's Army of Light and Darkness!"

With a cold, stern expression, Dongchen Xuan God watched as Dawu's various legions coordinated their actions, releasing terrifying combat power, their fierce individuals and superior equipment forcing the Forbidden Land's forces into a difficult position, resulting in massive casualties.

"Dawu's combat strength is unexpectedly formidable!"

The expressions of Immortal Gods Cheng Fa and Zhong Ling turned unpleasant to behold.

It was unknown how Dawu's army had trained, but regardless of their considerable casualties, they exhibited not a trace of fear. They instead intensified the ferocity of their offensive.

In contrast, the soldiers of the Forbidden Lands, restricted by their isolation, became disoriented in the face of death among their companions.

The Ancient Battlefield Altar had already eliminated some Dawu soldiers of strong ability but weak willpower.

"Record the map of God Mountain's golden river region and feed it into the Ancient Battlefield Altar. Collect information on the Eastern Beginning Forbidden Land's grand army for battlefield simulation training."

Lu Qianfu, as the supreme commander, stayed away from the frontlines.

He held a unique object in his hands, a relic from the Ancient Battlefield Altar capable of scanning and recording the map of the God Mountain. It simulated battle scenarios through the recorded images.

"Starry Sky Battleship, unleash your interstellar bombardment!"

The number of Celestial Gods was inferior to those in the Eastern Beginning Forbidden Land, so Lu Qianfu ordered the Starry Sky Battleship to act as an equivalent fighting force and engage in destructive charges on the battlefield.

The Divine Knife of East Beginning was constantly trembling in the void, but wherever it pointed, the Thunder Sound Sword Formation would rigidly lock onto it.

"With this sword formation around, the Eastern Beginning Divine Knife can't be used," Dongchen Xuan God shook his head.

At the moment, the battle on the field was extraordinarily fierce.

If the Eastern Beginning Forbidden Land did not possess more Celestial Gods than Dawu to control the situation, their army would be on the brink of collapse, not a match for the Dawu legions at all.

"Having been in the Forbidden Land too long, our troops have lost their ferocity," Cheng Fa Xuan God identified the key issue.

As far as cultivation level is concerned, the people of the Forbidden Land are all advanced, but when it comes to deadly courage on the battlefield, Cheng Fa Xuan God admits, they are inferior to Dawu, lacking the spirit to face death without fear.

"They have been too comfortable in the Forbidden Land for too long!" Zhong Ling Xuan God stated coldly, "Many forbidden lands are like this. They seal themselves off. As time passes by, their resources drain and they become extinct.

The master of Eastern Beginning also foresaw this problem, so he brought the army out of the forbidden land into God Mountain to train them through war and replenish their resources."

"This battle will be fiercely contested."

The pupils of the three Immortal Gods suddenly contracted sharply.

Whoosh!

An arrow streaked through the air. A Celestial God heavily struck by Dawu's Celestial God suddenly had his head pierced by an arrow, exploding on the spot.

Another arrow was shot, the Sacred Puppet fired again. Another Celestial God was heavily struck by the arrow and had to retreat. Taking advantage of this opening, Fang Lei split him in two with his thunder-fire long knife.

Two Celestial Gods fell, their downfall swift.

"It's that arrow again!"

Cheng Fa Xuan God hated the God-destroying arrow to the core, furiously says, "If we let him continue like this, no matter how many Celestial Gods we have, we won't be able to keep up with the consumption. We can't let him continue shooting, otherwise him simply standing there is already a huge threat, making it impossible for our Celestial Gods to exert their maximum strength."

"We have to resolve that." Zhong Ling Xuan God said.

"You have to guard against their demonic legions, so I must make a move. Do you see that Celestial God? He is the supreme commander of Dawu, every deployment and coordination of soldiers and horses are under his command. Behead him, and their army's morale will falter!"

Cheng Fa Xuan God's cold gaze locked onto Lu Qianfu.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared, reappearing before Lu Qianfu.

He opened his five fingers, and the power of the Immortal God roared out.

The Sacred Puppet stood right next to Lu Qianfu, ready to protect him closely. It immediately engaged, blocking Cheng Fa Xuan God.

"I knew you would make a move, but did you think you could simply kill me off?" Cheng Fa Xuan God suddenly sneered.

A deadly aura swept in. An elder appeared in the void, taking a single stride across the void towards Lu Qianfu, his eyes revealing a storm of murderous intention.

Another Immortal God!

His presence was ancient and he seemed extremely old, his hair white as frost and his body exuding a thick aura of decay. He looked as though he just stepped out of a tomb.

"An Immortal God, one whose lifespan is running out!" Ning Xiuchen's eyes focused, "This is the Forbidden Land's trump card, woken up from his tomb!"

The lifespan of an Immortal God is extremely long, but it is not eternal.

Some aged Immortal Gods, in order to prolong their lives, voluntarily seal themselves, enter into a state of suspended animation in their burial places, slowing down time and serving as hidden reserve forces. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

The reason such places are christened as Forbidden Lands is due to them sealing away numerous ancient powerful beings.

"But His Majesty predicted someone would attempt to assassinate him. Those three Immortal Gods were just a deceptive display on the surface, surely they have hidden aces up their sleeves!"

Ning Xiuchen remained motionless.

"You will die!"

The old Immortal God made his move, his sealing technique was broken and awoken from the tomb. He could no longer continue to seal himself, which is why it is very cautious to use this kind of bottom card in the Forbidden Lands.

Once woken, there is one less to use.

"He is as good as dead!"

This old Immortal God was an ancestor to the Immortal Gods who were already ancestors themselves, a venerable figure who existed long before Eastern Beginning Forbidden Land was even named.

"Manifold Combatant!"

Suddenly, a figure that had been standing behind Lu Qianfu stepped out. He used the Manifold Combatant's equalized mana to resist the attack from the old Immortal God.

The old Immortal God's power hit the Manifold Combatant only to find a balanced force emanating from its body. While the power was not strong, it seemed to be able to transform into countless variations, dissolving his power.

The old Immortal God's assassination attempt failed. He retreated into the sky and coldly stated, "He is not a real Immortal God, but rather a puppet possessing the strength of an Immortal God."

"Another Immortal God puppet!"

Dongchen Xuan God and the others were also shocked.

"Its defense is not as good as that puppet, but its overall combat ability is more balanced. Its attack, defense, and speed have all reached the level of an Immortal God," the elderly Immortal God said.

Truly an ancient Immortal God, just a single exchange and he had already analyzed some information about the Manifold Combatant.

"Can it be destroyed?" Dongchen Xuan God asked.

"Yes!" the old Immortal God replied confidently. "However, it will take some time. And on the battlefield, they aren't going to give me this time. Moreover, we can't predict what other resources they might reveal."

"We can't destroy it quickly, and we can't be sure if Dawu has any more hidden resources that we hadn't detected. If we continue to stand off, it won't end well."

Dongchen Xuan God pondered for a moment.

They had originally planned to assassinate the enemy's supreme commander with their superior Immortal God strength, but now the plan had failed. He looked at the carnage of the troops and saw the battle continuing to swing against them, unable to counteract against the Dawu legions, suffering increasingly severe losses.

The battle was no longer a training exercise, it was a blood bath, a confrontation costing them their strength.

"Call a temporary retreat!"

At this moment, Dongchen Xuan God had no choice but to issue the order to temporarily retreat, to allow the troops to return to camp and regroup for another fight.
