…
“Roar!”
The Seal transformed into a dragon, baring claws and teeth, it soared into the clouds, swiftly rushing to the battlefield. Faced with the Thunderbolt Formation atop Yellow Sky City, it didn’t hesitate to spit out a stream of poison water, turning into a curtain of rain that covered the eastern city wall and the Thunderbolt Formation.
“Ah!!!”
As the poisoned rain fell, covering the ramparts, there were immediate howls of agony. Several Gongshu Mechanics and Gongshu Disciples had their flesh corroded and bones shattered by the toxic downpour, quickly turning into puddles of pus and blood.
It wasn’t just the people; the machinery wasn’t spared either. Under the shower of poison rain, several Thunderbolt Cars were paralyzed on the ground, and even the mechanical towers, built of ironstone, began to rust and looked like they were about to collapse.
“This Coiling Dragon Seal…”
“What a Magical Treasure!”
Within the Alliance Camp, upon seeing the Coiling Dragon imposing its strength, the expressions of the Lords varied. Ning Bozhong, with his pale complexion resembling a sickly young master, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, and then he too took out an item. It was a long banner, shrouded in intense Yin Qi, from which the wails of thousands of ghosts emanated: “I shall also offer a humble performance.”
Having said that, he began to wave the long banner.

…
As Ning Bozhong’s long banner waved, an ominous wind howled forth, chilling to the bone. Countless Underworld Souls surged out, carried by the wind and the Yang Yun, heading straight for the northern city’s battlefield.
These Underworld Souls were all First Order troops, with low Attributes and weak fighting force, but they possessed the troop type skills of Underworld Souls, immune to ordinary damage. They also had the abilities to fly and penetrate, effectively harassing the enemy forces.
As expected, hundreds of thousands of Underworld Souls rushed into the battlefield in a vast and mighty stream. Although parts of them were destroyed by the Thunderbolt Fire Rain, the majority, thanks to their flight and speed advantage, made it over the northern walls and harassed the Mechancis and Gongshu Disciples operating the Thunderbolt Cars.
“Demons, how dare you run amok!”
However, Yellow Sky City also had countermeasures in place. A stern cry came with bolts of thunder and fire, exterminating both visible and invisible heroic spirits. Additionally, a large number of Yellow Turban Warriors, whose bodies glowed with yellow light and were in excellent form, come to cut down the Underworld Souls entangling the Gongshu Mechanics.
Although Yellow Sky City’s counterattack was swift, the opponent’s harassment was quite successful. The Thunderbolt Formation stopped their offensive for a moment, and the northern enemy troops seized the opportunity. They quickly pushed their own siege machinery to the front-line positions and began their stone-throwing counterattack.
“Both Taoist friends have impressive skills!”
Seeing this scene, Tantai Qin within the Alliance Camp smiled faintly: “Then this young woman shall also make a modest contribution.”
Having said that, she shifted her gaze towards Liu Xiu who stood beside her.
Although she also had a piece of Mythical Equipment called “Hundred Birds Phoenix Robe” that could summon a third Order Phoenix to fight the enemy, this move was clearly not on par with Liu Xiu’s Emperor’s Dragon Qi’s Heavenly Destiny Strike.
The enemy was of the Yellow Turban Civilization, and Liu Xiu’s Heavenly Destiny Strike would surely trigger a meteor natural disaster. Using it while the fortress was still intact was most appropriate. If it were used after the city had fallen, when the two armies were engaged in a bloody battle, it would cause harm to themselves as well, which would be counterproductive.
Therefore…
Liu Xiu didn’t say much, just raised the Hundred Kings Sword in his hand. Accompanied by a dragon’s roar, the Emperor’s Dragon Qi poured into the sword, thrusting a brilliant golden light straight into the high heavens.
“Boom!!!”
Suddenly the world changed, the sun and moon lost their light, and a red meteor burst down from the heavens, tearing through the Sea of Clouds and striking straight at Yellow Heaven Giant City.
Meanwhile, inside Yellow Sky City.
“It’s coming!”
“Quickly take cover!”
Hua Mulan, Gongshu Ling, Li Cunxiao, and a group of heroes each led their forces, determining the falling point of the red meteor and looking for a place within the city to seek shelter.
This was Xu Yang’s response strategy—endure!
The strike from Heavenly Destiny, the meteor falling, sounded terrifying indeed, but in reality, it was a one-time affair.
A second-order hero, even if of a mythical rank, could not possibly really draw down a star. Even an eighth-order lord might not endure it, how could a second-order hero manage to summon it?
Though the Sky-reaching Tower did not speak of balance, it wouldn’t be unbalanced to such an extent. Therefore, the most this Heavenly Destiny Strike could be was a meteorite, which Yellow Sky City, with its current strength, could completely withstand. All that was needed was to make good preparations for evasion to minimize damage.
Xu Yang’s biggest concern was that the enemy refrained from using this move. After all, he could not have his heroes and soldiers perpetually ready to dodge meteorites. If the enemy delayed their action until all his heroes and soldiers were fully committed to the fight, and then launched a do-or-die meteorite attack, they would suffer heavy casualties as they couldn’t extract themselves in time to dodge.
For this reason, he had no choice but to make a sacrificial gambit and to use a portion of his troops as bait to lure the enemy into attacking with a meteorite strike, while the rest of his forces and heroes prepared to take shelter within the city, to minimize casualties to the greatest extent.
Everything happened as expected. The enemy, eager to breach the city walls, did not consider further and employed this deadly trump card.
Thus…
“Boom!!!”
A loud noise, and the heaven and earth shook.
The Red Star fell, crashing into the city, penetrating deep into the earth. The terrifying force turned into rampaging waves, causing buildings to crumble and vanish in smoke and dust. Even the hundred-zhang tall and solid iron walls did not escape damage—the walls collapsed, watchtowers toppled, instantly creating a gaping breach thousands of miles wide.
The destruction of buildings was severe, but the casualties among the people were even worse. Although they had made early evasive maneuvers, under the impact of the meteor’s strike, a great number of soldiers, and even heroes, were killed or injured. In an instant, the ranks were reduced by nearly a hundred thousand, with countless more wounded.
“Attack!!!”

Seeing the enemy’s strong fortifications devastated by the meteor strike—walls and defensive structures a hundred zhang wide and ten thousand meters long crumbled—the Alliance Army’s morale surged on the western front, and the siege engines thrust forward, roaring as they returned the strike.
Just as it was on the western city, the other three cities did the same. Employing techniques such as the Coiling Dragon Poison Rain and the Ten Thousand Souls Underworld Soul, they suppressed Yellow Sky City’s mechanical defenses and machinery. Then their own engines powered on, bombarding wildly as though they would not cease until the city was leveled to the ground.
Just then…
“Attack!!!”
The sound of hooves thundered, the earth shook, and the sealed city gates opened. Squads of elite cavalry charged out from Yellow Sky City, rushing toward the enemy lines with a cloud of dust in tow.
“Is the dog jumping over the wall in desperation?”
“Let them taste their own medicine from the Thunderbolt Car assault!”
“Let them die on the road, cut their numbers in half!”
Seeing this scene, everyone inside the Alliance camp sneered.
The enemy’s machinery was destroyed, and they had lost the protection of their strong walls. They were forced to jump over the wall in a desperate attempt to initiate a sortie, aiming to destroy the Alliance’s Thunderbolt Formation.
But they would not allow the enemy to succeed. The infantry had already formed a defensive line to protect the Thunderbolt Formation, unleashing their firepower with gusto.
The roles of attack and defense had switched. Now the enemy had to withstand the Thunderbolt Car assault as they charged—it was a stretch of distance, a line of defense, but what cost would they have to pay to break through?
While the Alliance’s Thunderbolt Formation bombarded viciously in retaliation…
“Tap!”
A soft sound, barely detectable.
Zhou Tianqi frowned and looked up, to see the sky turning dark. Ominous clouds spread far and wide, covering the sun, accompanied by dull thunder, signaling an impending storm. It felt oppressive, and there was an inexplicable unease.
“This is…”
Inside Taiping Temple in Yellow Sky City, in front of the Mana Altar.
Xu Yang stood alone in silence, his eyes speaking volumes, only an object he held in his hand radiated brilliance—it was a seal. At that moment, it shone brightly, with nine dragon shadows encircling it, exuding supreme majesty.
