The world chat channel was not the only place buzzing with excitement.
Within the chat groups of the major alliances of territorial forces, the atmosphere was equally fervent. Whether it was territorial alliances like the Covenant of Gods Alliance and the Icefield Home, or the Lone Wanderers Alliance, everyone was discussing this war that seemed to have a significant disparity in strength.
Everyone was speculating about who the ultimate victor of this war would be.
If the "Immortal Slaying Demon Subjugation Alliance" emerged victorious, it would be considered relatively normal. After all, with such a massive and terrifying force assembled, only to attack a single territory, it would be unjust if they couldn't win. If they failed in such a scenario, then all lords would have to seriously consider how powerful Qian Mo and his Immortal Demon Tribe truly were.
Inside a powerful alliance's group chat, the atmosphere was relatively calm at the moment. This was because most of their members believed that the "Immortal Demon Tribe" was about to become a thing of the past, and Qian Mo would fall from grace.
"Latest news, the joint forces of the Immortal Slaying Demon Subjugation Alliance have all assembled outside the Boundless Forest, and all corps have converged!"
"Does that mean this terrifying flying army has already begun its siege on Qian Mo's Immortal Demon Tribe!"
"Heh heh! So Qian Mo is truly finished this time! The title of strongest lord will also become a thing of the past!"
"Hahaha! It seems like it... uh! Something's not right!!"
"What's wrong? Is there any new news?"
"Holy crap! Crap! Crap! Can this news be true?"
"Damn it! What news is it? Spit it out, don't keep us in suspense!"
"My friend who's in the allied army just sent me a message saying their joint forces were bombarded by a massive aerial city. The power of that bombardment was no less than a nuclear missile, and the allied forces suffered heavy casualties in an instant. Everyone is desperately fleeing now, even the lord of the Divine Dragon Blessed Land is running!"
"Nonsense! Don't listen to the guy upstairs bragging!"
"I'm bragging, your ass! The news says a huge canyon has been blasted out at the edge of the Boundless Forest! It's a real artillery bombardment! And it's from the air. Nearly seventy thousand troops are now suffering heavy casualties!"
"The guy upstairs isn't lying, the news I received is similar. Not only that, but the entire battlefield situation is said to be one-sided, with a hundred to two hundred Immortal Demon troop types, over a thousand powerful natural wood golems, and even seven king-level Black Blood Dragon Pythons are currently slaughtering on the battlefield!"
"I'm not listening to you guys brag anymore! This is impossible! Can someone kick these two lunatics out! They're acting like idiots, spreading rumors here!"
...
These messages were, naturally, true.
Five minutes ago.
As soon as the allied joint forces had successfully converged, Mo Wuxin immediately returned to the Immortal Demon Tribe to report the current situation to Xiao Mo.
Upon receiving Mo Wuxin's message, Xiao Mo immediately burst into joyous laughter.
Then, with a single thought, a golden-red beam of light descended from high above.
At the same time, he commanded all his troop types and forces, "Upon receiving my order, immediately descend onto the battlefield through the spatial portal. Do not delay for a single second!"
After speaking, he strode into the beam of light and disappeared amidst the responses of all his troop types.
When he reappeared, he had arrived at the Nine Heavens Nine Underworlds City, which was situated tens of thousands of meters in the sky.
"Immediately lock onto the target area, fifteen kilometers south of the Boundless Forest's edge!"
"Target locked. Does Lord City Lord wish to immediately expend Immortal Demon Stones or Spirit Stones to activate the Immortal Demon Spirit Power Cannon?"
"Activate immediately! Five giant Immortal Demon Spirit Power Cannons and thirteen small Immortal Demon Spirit Power Cannons to carry out a full-area, indiscriminate bombardment on the locked target area!"
Xiao Mo stood by the city walls of the Nine Heavens Nine Underworlds City, controlling the Immortal Demon Spirit Power Cannons on the city walls with his mind, and steering this colossal war fortress downwards.
He knew that when the altitude decreased to ten thousand meters, his gaze could clearly see the assembly area of the allied forces at the edge of the Boundless Forest. Nearly seventy thousand flying troop types gathered together, covering the sky and earth, densely packed, truly making one's scalp tingle.
However, in the end, such an astonishing scale of flying troop types was a pity.
As Xiao Mo's thoughts flickered, the Immortal Demon Spirit Power Cannons activated on the walls of the Nine Heavens Nine Underworlds City simultaneously adjusted their muzzles. The eighteen Immortal Demon Spirit Power Cannon muzzles all flickered with a dazzling golden-red light.
After two breaths of charging, a total of eighteen light beams, varying in thickness but containing soul-stirring power, traversed a distance of over thirty kilometers, instantly covering a fifteen-kilometer radius at the edge of the Boundless Forest.
The moment before, the allied joint forces had just gathered. Everyone had elected the lord of the Divine Dragon Blessed Land, Old Gou, as the commander of the joint forces, and Old Gou, naturally, happily accepted. He was enthusiastically shouting, making final pre-war mobilizations to the allied members, feeling a sense of commanding the world. The allied members were also very cooperative, all shouting in unison: "Unite as one! Kill Qian Mo! Capture the wood golems! Flatten the Immortal Demon Tribe!"
Old Gou's expression was full of pride, and he immediately waved his hand. "The army sets off! Flatten the Immortal Demon Tribe!"
With a single command, all the lords mounted their troop type mounts and were about to take flight towards the Immortal Demon Tribe.
However, it was at this moment that a sudden exclamation was heard.
"Holy shit! What is that thing in the distant sky? A mirage?"
"Holy crap! That's a city! How can it be flying in the sky?"
For a moment, everyone looked up at the northern sky, their faces filled with deep astonishment and shock. This city was too majestic and enormous; even at a distance of tens of kilometers, it was clearly visible. This scene reminded them of the aircraft carriers they had seen flying above the clouds in sci-fi movies.
"I remember after the Beast Tide War, someone seemed to have mentioned that a floating giant city had appeared in this area before, but almost no one took it seriously at the time."
"Now that I think about it, this wasn't a mirage, it was real!"
Finally, someone at this point recalled what a nearby lord had said in the public chat. Clearly, something that everyone had scoffed at back then was now appearing before their eyes. This caused many to swallow nervously, their voices trembling.
"Is this truly Qian Mo's trump card? Is this his secret weapon?"
"No... it can't be that coincidental!"
As these words fell, everyone saw the city walls of the giant city facing them flash with brilliant light. Following that, eighteen light beams, varying in thickness but containing soul-stirring power, struck with lightning speed.
At this moment, many people began to scream in terror.
"What are these light beams? Are we really going to act out a sci-fi movie?"
"I get it now. Someone back then revealed that a mountain range near the Boundless Forest was destroyed by a beam of light, and no one knew the source at the time. Now it's finally clear!"
"If this is the case, and just one beam of light is that powerful, then all eighteen of these... we should just run for our lives!"
"Brothers! I'm running first!"
"Mom! I want to go home! It's too scary here! Wuwuwu..."
At this moment, all members of the Immortal Slaying Demon Subjugation Alliance were filled with extreme fear. Even Old Gou, who had been smugly enjoying the feeling of commanding the world, now had a green complexion. The other six alliance leaders also had ashen faces, and without a word, they turned around and prepared to flee.
However, would Xiao Mo, who had been scheming for so long, allow them to escape so easily?
