Chapter 1091: Unable To Do Anything Right
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
For dozens of days, the Heavenly River Military Camp put up the No War sign. No matter how much the generals of the Heaven Breaching Fortress and Purple City tried to taunt them, no one answered them.
King Zi Guang pondered, not knowing what Mo Yin was up to.
Mu Xiantian’s descendants were all experts among experts. None of them were weaker than Mu Suge, Mu Suwu, and the other princes, some were even Imperial Emperors!
Mu Xiantian had been eyeing the throne for a long time now; his plans could be traced a long way back in time. He even hide his descendants’ existence from his most trusted advisor, King Zi Guang.
On the surface, Mu Xiantian had a million children, but most of them were of ordinary talent. The most eminent ones would be Mu Suge and Mu Suwu, having followed Zhong Yue through countless battles and accumulating various accolades.
Furthermore, a lot of his sons were killed in the war. Among them was his eldest prince.
But who would’ve known that Mu Suge was just a cover Mu Xiantian had placed in the front. In the dark, he had been nurturing his many sons into top cultivators and built a huge force no weaker than the monarch races.
The army of princes was lead by Mu Suxian and Mu Sutian. They were two Imperial Emperors and were taught hand in hand by Mu Xiantian himself. Their prowesses were on par with the likes of Long Zhi and the others.
But the hundred million princes were here to battle, they urged King Zi Guang to ignore the No War sign and launch the battle on the Heavenly River Military Camp.
After all, they were Mu Xiantian’s sons, King Zi Guang would have to give them some face and accept their requests. Whenever the princes went to challenge, King Zi Guang would have to ready the armies properly in case Mo Yin suddenly launched an ambush on them.
However, he wasn’t Zhong Yue after all. Armies under his command were much slower, but on the other hand, it was also much safer. It was the princes that were growing impatient over the long waiting time.
“Reporting to the commander, the Prince Lu has gone to taunt the enemies!” A general rushed in to report and King Zi Guang quickly said, “Tell the prince to remain clam, I will aid him with the armies.”
The general shook, “Commander, Prince Lu lead a few hundred princes and launched an attack to the Heavenly River Military Camp. None of us could stop them.”
King Zi Guang’s face changed slightly, he quickly summoned the armies while shouting, “Foolish! How can he rush out of the base without my command? Quick, prep the soldiers!”
Just as his order was passed down, loud clamors could be heard coming from the outside. King Zi Guang immediately knew that things were turning sour. He quickly ordered the generals to ready their forces while he led Zhong Yue’s Xian Tian Royal Guards out of the Heaven Breaching Fortress.
“Commander, the enemy has taken down the No War sign. Prince Lu and the other princes were killed!”
A general crawled his way through the battlefield and shouted, “Prince Xian and Prince Tian were raging, they have brought the hundred million princes to the frontline!”
King Zi Guang was shocked, he stomped his feet and scolded, “Fools! Men, with me!”
The Heaven Breaching Fortress’s and Purple City’s generals readied their forces and followed King Zi Guang to the Heavenly River Military Camp. However, the Purple City’s soldiers had only been to a few wars, they were much slower and were soon left behind.
King Zi Guang was in a hurry to save Mu Sutian, Mu Suxian, and the other princes. He couldn’t care to wait longer for the Purple City’s armies and so led the Heaven Breaching Fortress’s armies toward the Heavenly River Military Camp first.
Outside of the Heavenly River Military Camp, the fortress’s gates were rammed open and the fortress was empty with only a prince waiting in it.
King Zi Guang marched the armies into the fortress and the prince smiled when he saw him, “Mister Zi Guang, we’ve taken down the Heavenly River Military Camp. Big brother ordered me to stay and deliver a message to mister. The Heavenly River Military Camp is now empty, those that were left were the elderlies and weaklings. Mo Yin is afraid of our power and has already made the run!”
King Zi Guang was enraged, he asked, “Where are Mu Sutian, Mu Suxian, and the others?”
“Chasing after the losers, they are on the losers’ tails.”
King Zi Guang grew even angrier, he ordered his men, “Tie him up!”
The soldiers stepped forth and tied the prince down tight.
King Zi Guang entered the fortress and sure enough, the Heavenly River Military Camp was empty with only a few warships abandoned behind by Mo Yin during his escape.
“These warships left behind by Mo Yin, they must be part of his plan. We will not use these warships. Where are our own warships?” King Zi Guang asked.
The Heaven Breaching Fortress had its own naval fleet. Immediately, they cast out their own warships but there weren’t many of them. King Zi Guang ordered the armies to board the warships and sailed deeper into the Heavenly River.
The warships traveled for a distance of 10 planets and suddenly, they could hear noises coming from the riverbanks. King Zi Guang looked around and saw warships emerging from the bottom of the river. They were filled with Heaven Court’s soldiers, they ignored the Heaven Breaching Fortress’s warships and went for the Purple City’s armies who were just arriving at the riverbanks!
The leading Imperial Emperor commanded tens of thousand vanguards and tore the Purple City’s forces into many blocks and pieces.
Then, the Heaven Court’s armies followed behind and slaughtered the Purple City’s soldiers block by block. In just a few moments, the Purple City’s armies had suffered enormous casualties.
But their defeat was only starting. When their lack of training and low morale were met with a terrible defeat, the soldiers immediately fled to save their own lives.
King Zi Guang’s face changed drastically, he wanted to turn around and save his armies but was also worried about the princes’ lives. He was in a dilemma between saving the soldiers or the princes.
All of a sudden, Imperial Emperor Jiao Teng flew out and chortled, “Zi Guang, go to the princes and leave this to me!” As soon as she finished talking, her body shivered and innumerable insect gods swarmed out toward the Heaven Court’s armies.
King Zi Guang’s worry was eased and he ordered the rest to speed up. And it was at this moment that a corpse floating on the river surface was pushed by the waves toward them. A Xian Tian Royal Guard general scooped the body up and found him to be one of the Creator princes.
King Zi Guang’s face darkened and ordered the warships to make haste. As they sailed further, more and more of the princes’ corpse could be seen floating on the river surface. Soon, they had arrived at a place where there were thousands of princes’ corpse floating in the river.
King Zi Guang looked to the front and saw a few monarch weapons hovering high above the river. He recognized one of them to be Mu Xiantian’s Innate Origin Demon Sword!
The other one was a monarch weapon Mu Xiantian had plundered from the previous war of throne and gifted to one of his sons.
At this time, Mo Yin was commanding the Heaven Court’s armies and condensed six Star Rivers to slaughter the princes. There were already many of them dead in his hands.
King Zi Guang led his armies and fought a way to reach the princes. In the end, it was Imperial Emperor Long Zhi who cast her monarch weapon and rammed through the layers of formation to save the surviving princes.
Mu Sutian mourned in sorrow, “Mister Zi Guang, kill them all! Avenge our fallen siblings!”
King Zi Guang’s face was dark and gloomy. He saw the Heaven Court’s armies pushing forward and immediately ordered his forces to retreat to the riverbanks to avoid a head-on battle with the Heaven Court.
Without the Yinkang Clan’s naval fleet, the remaining Heaven Breaching Fortress’s naval fleet trained by Zhong Yue was not strong enough to stand against the Heavenly River Naval Fleet.
The best way was to leave the Heavenly River and retreat to the riverbanks to save the lives of the Heaven Breaching Fortress’s soldiers.
All these advantages King Yi had accumulated over the years were ruined by these princes! These bluebloods who had never experienced the war of the throne knew nothing about formations, the art of war, and its cruelty!
King Zi Guang suppressed his anger and held himself together. He pulled his forces back to the riverbanks and abandoned the warships. Then, he marched the armies back to the Heaven Breaching Fortress.
On the back, Mo Yin commanded the armies to chase after them while King Zi Guang led the Xian Tian Royal Guards at the back of the formation, using the Stone Sentinel Maze to deflect Mo Yin’s attacks.
Mo Yin had used the Three-headed Panhu Formation in the battle and King Zi Guang, who knew nothing of the formation, tasted a terrible defeat. The 20 million Xian Tian Royal Guards suffered more than a few million casualties.
When King Zi Guang was finally back in the Heaven Breaching Fortress, Imperial Emperor Jiao Teng was also at her limit. An innate demon god cast out a Soul Devouring Banner that sucked the insect gods’ soul out of their bodies and killed many of the insect gods.
The insect gods had tough bodies made of divine gold, but their souls were inherently weak. Although the innate demon god was a cultivation level lower than Imperial Emperor Jiao Teng, his cultivation art was their bane. Thus, he was able to corner Imperial Emperor Jiao Teng on the battlefield.
King Zi Guang looked toward the Purple City that was shredded into ruins during the battle and looked toward the Heaven Breaching Fortress that was already taken down by the Heaven Court’s armies. Then, he looked at his Purple City’s billion soldiers that were mostly fleeing for their lives whereas the rest were segregated from each other and surrounded in the middle of the battlefield, it was only a matter of time before they were slaughtered by the Heaven Court’s armies!
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you’ve caused all this!”
King Zi Guang stomped his feet. He ordered Deity Emperor Bai Sheng to drum the wardrums to raise the armies’ morale. Then, he led them and took back the Heaven Breaching Fortress in one go. Right after marching the armies back into the fortress, he ordered a full lockdown in the fortress and assumed a defensive position.
Mo Yin launched attack after attack on the Heaven Breaching Fortress. But Zhong Yue had been fortifying the fortress over the past ten years; it was already nigh unbreakable.
Zhong Yue even had Old Man Xuan and Qi craft all types of defensive war equipment for the fortress. Hence, Mo Yin was unable to take down the Heaven Breaching Fortress no matter how hard he tried.
For the rest of the days, King Zi Guang and his armies never stepped out of the fortress anymore. Mo Yin had the princes’ heads piled up like a mountain in front of the fortress and captured thousands of war captives. The war captives were forced to kneel in front of the fortress and convince King Zi Guang to surrender.
During the time, Mu Suxian defied King Zi Guang’s order and rushed out of the fortress trying to take back his siblings’ heads. But he was ambushed by Mo Yin and fled back to the fortress with another few thousand princes forever left behind on the battlefield.
Mo Yin ordered a siege against the Heaven Breaching Fortress and sent an army to detour around the fortress and went straight into the Xian Tian Palace’s territory, conquering the races and lands.
King Zi Guang grew anxious but was powerless as the Heaven Breaching Fortress was isolated from the rest of the battlefield. He could only contact Mu Xiantian and reported, “Your Majesty, I have failed you terribly. Please punish me for my wrongs. I feel that I have grown old and slow, I am not suited to fight anymore. Your Majesty, permission for me to resign. I will accompany King Yi in retirement.”
Mu Xiantian was shocked, he quickly returned a rescript and comforted King Zi Guang, “My junior martial brothers are here now. Zi Guang, be at ease. When they have arrived, they will be able to defeat Mo Yin’s armies.”
Not long after, Mo Yin delivered a few heads into the Heaven Breaching Fortress. The heads belonged to Innate Dark Monarch’s disciples, Mu Xiantian’s junior martial brothers.
The seven Dao kids were on the way to the Heaven Breaching Fortress when the 95 innate gods ambushed them.
Mu Xiantian went to save them personally but was ambushed by Di Ming and Queen Goddess. They fought in a bone-rattling battle and when Di Ming and Queen Goddess left the battle, the seven Dao kids were already beheaded by the Nine-Five.
“I hope Your Majesty can permit my request to resign.” King Zi Guang asked again.
In Mu Xiantian’s decree, he replied, “Zi Guang, please remain calm. I will head to the Heaven Suppressing Fortress and personally request Mister Yi’s help.”
