Chapter 4823: Dao Ancestor Strikes

Outside the Great Wall, billions of Chaos Beasts charged towards it. For every hundred steps they advanced, they paid a tremendous price. The Wang family’s Immortal-Slaying Arrows and Immortal-Slaying Cannons were simply too numerous. After great difficulty, they finally reached within ten thousand feet of the city wall. Large numbers of Immortal-Armored soldiers flew out from the Great Wall, wielding immortal artifacts. They formed groups of three, with three groups making a squad, dispersing to meet the Chaos Beasts in battle.

From atop the city walls, immortals operated Immortal-Slaying Cannons and immortal artifacts, coordinating with their comrades to eliminate the Chaos Beasts.

A new wave of Chaos Beasts appeared among the hordes; these were mutated Chaos Beasts, covering each other as they rushed towards the Great Wall.

The foremost Chaos Beast carried a black shield, blocking the incoming attacks. However, the Wang family’s assault was too dense, and the lead Chaos Beast was quickly slain.

The Immortal-Armored Army clashed with the Chaos Beasts. Leading the charge were members of the Wang family, accompanied by the True Spirit Legion, Puppet Legion, Demonic Guards, Talisman Soldier Legion, and Bean Soldier Legion. The Wang family had revealed all its hidden strengths, holding nothing back.

The Wang family had been preparing for this war for over twenty million years, ever since they established the Azure Lotus Immortal Alliance. Their Immortal-Armored Army had undergone numerous drills and showed no signs of panic.

As time passed, vast numbers of Chaos Beasts were slain, and immortals also fell. Various immortal lights flashed, explosions constantly reverberated, and the powers of different laws clashed.

Among the Immortal-Armored soldiers fighting were many elite members of the Wang family. After cultivating into True Spirits, they could unleash the Aperture Fusion Art, merging laws. When they activated these laws against the Chaos Beasts, they could easily wound Chaos Beasts of the same cultivation level.

The Thunder Pond acquired by the Wang family continuously generated primordial substances. Many Wang family immortals had mastered Daoist Arts and used them against the Chaos Beasts; Chaos Beasts of the same rank simply couldn't withstand them.

Suddenly, some Immortal-Armored soldiers betrayed their side, attacking other Wang family Immortal-Armored soldiers. Furthermore, traitors appeared on the Great Wall’s battlements; some immortals attacked their comrades. These traitors were quickly apprehended, causing little damage to the immortals. However, this incident led to mutual suspicion among the immortals, creating the risk of friendly fire or backstabbing while battling the Chaos Beasts.

This was the Chaos Beasts’ objective: an overt strategy. Though the other immortals recognized it as a Chaos Beast ploy, they dared not drop their guard. Consequently, they couldn't devote all their energy to fighting the Chaos Beasts; they had to divert some of it to guard against potential attacks from behind.

This was merely a minor interlude, unable to affect the overall situation. Neither side’s Dao Ancestors had yet made a move.

As time continued to pass, vast numbers of Immortal-Armored soldiers entered the battlefield. However, the sheer quantity of Chaos Beasts was overwhelming. Thirty million Immortal-Armored soldiers, spread around the Great Wall, were simply not enough; the Chaos Beasts were far too numerous.

Fortunately, the Wang family excelled in artifact crafting, deploying large numbers of immortal puppets, bean soldiers, Immortal-Slaying Cannons, and Immortal-Slaying Arrows.

The Chaos Beasts deployed their Chaos Legions, whose members had mutated at least three times and wielded Chaos Battle Armor, surging to the front. The Wang family dispatched over thirty thousand immortal warships. The Immortal-Slaying Cannons on these warships opened fire, sending out massive red energy beams that, like the scythes of death, reaped the lives of the Chaos Beasts. One by one, Chaos Beasts fell, riddled with holes.

Besides the Chaos Beasts, tens of millions of Pseudo-Immortals also appeared, forming their own Immortal-Armored Legions and fielding immortal warships, though slightly fewer in number than the Wang family’s. This was power accumulated by the Chaos Beasts over many years, and these Pseudo-Immortals now aided the enemy, turning against the true immortals.

Beyond their Immortal-Armored Legions, these Pseudo-Immortals also commanded immortal puppets, demonic guards, bean soldier legions, and talisman soldier legions. They fought immortals with immortal means; any method an immortal could employ, a Pseudo-Immortal could too.

For a time, explosions ceaselessly boomed, and various immortal lights illuminated the sky.

Wang Changsheng stood on the city wall, frowning as he gazed at the Dao Ancestor-level Chaos Beasts in the distance. The Chaos Beasts had far more Dao Ancestors than they did, over a hundred, not even counting the Pseudo-Dao Ancestors.

It made sense; the Chaos Beasts had always won the Great Dao Wars, undoubtedly acquiring vast cultivation resources and fostering more powerful beings. Now, launching another Great Dao War, they had deployed so many Dao Ancestors. It seemed the Chaos Beast Progenitor was also present but had not yet appeared.

The Chaos Beasts were too numerous. Large numbers of immortals were killed, and one Chaos Beast legion charged onto the city wall, closing to within a hundred feet.

An earth-shattering clap of thunder resounded. Immensely thick, nine-colored immortal lightning bolts sliced across the sky, striking this Chaos Legion. Blinding lightning enveloped their forms.

When the lightning dispersed, a giant, smoking crater marked the ground. The Chaos Beast legion had vanished.

This was the Thunder-Restraining Chaos-Slaying Formation, a fifth-tier immortal formation set up by Ye Haitang, Bai Yuqi, and Wang Yong'an. With Thunder-Restraining Wood, billions of years old, as its main array core, it had absorbed vast amounts of lightning power, unleashed now against the enemy.

Explosions continued, and blood flowed like rivers. Taiyi Golden Immortals were insignificant in battles of this magnitude; many were slain. In smaller immortal realms, a Taiyi Golden Immortal might be a sovereign, but in the Great Dao War, they couldn't even be considered a backbone force.

Immense numbers of immortals were killed. They came from all corners of the world, with diverse cultivation levels, temperaments, and backgrounds, fighting to the death against the Chaos Beasts. As one batch of Immortal-Armored soldiers fell, new ones quickly replaced them. It was the same for the Chaos Beasts. Both immortals and Chaos Beasts were merely casualty figures.

As time elapsed, the immortals' losses mounted significantly, though the Chaos Beasts also suffered considerable casualties. Both sides’ Dao Ancestors remained on the sidelines, observing.

The Wang family’s Grand Luo Golden Immortals employed combined attack techniques or activated the Aperture Fusion Art against the Chaos Beasts, and with the coordination of immortal warships, inflicted considerable casualties on the Chaos Beasts.

The ground trembled violently. A massive yellow axe blade burst forth from the earth, effortlessly sweeping through a group of Immortal-Armored soldiers, instantly cleaving them in two.

A long, thick crack appeared in the ground, and Jiao emerged from beneath, holding a giant yellow axe, his expression icy.

And that wasn't all. Dao Ancestor-level Chaos Beasts began to strike, attacking the immortals. The Great Dao War adhered to no rules; might made right.

Wang Changsheng snorted coldly, flicking his sleeve. Eighteen Sea-Calming Beads flew out, instantly expanding and floating high in the sky, resembling eighteen gigantic blue water droplets suspended aloft.

Wang Changsheng changed his hand seals, and the eighteen Sea-Calming Beads erupted with dazzling blue light, unleashing vast quantities of blue seawater.

The blue seawater surged and churned. Drops of blue seawater flew out, blurring momentarily before transforming into massive blue fists, smashing down onto the Chaos Beasts below.

After devouring vast amounts of fifth-tier immortal materials and multiple high-grade Dao artifacts, the Sea-Calming Beads had advanced to high-grade Dao artifacts. Qingxuan was also a high-grade Dao artifact, but advancing to top-grade Dao artifacts was exceedingly difficult.

One by one, the giant blue fists streaked across the sky like meteors, crashing down upon the Chaos Beasts.

A series of massive explosions erupted. The ground tore open, revealing numerous cracks, and dust billowed everywhere. Millions of Chaos Beasts were annihilated.
