In the northern part of Liang State, at Heavenly Dome Mountain, countless crimson flying ants blotted out the sky and the sun.
Here, immense crimson flames were engulfing the sky, burning through the nine-layered clouds and forming a massive wall of fire in the sky, stopping the swarm from heading south.
The flames were released by the sorcerers of the Dutian Divine Palace.
Dutian Divine Palace is the Divine Sect closest to Liang State, and when the Daluo Ant Clan began breaking through the seals on a large scale, Dutian Divine Palace was the first to react, hastily sending reinforcements to Heavenly Dome Mountain in an attempt to block the Daluo Ant Clan from moving south.
However, this overwhelming blaze was effective against the ordinary Daluo Ant Clan, but it could not stop the powerful high-order soldier ants.
At this moment, it could be seen in the sky that beams of red light were continuously breaking through the wall of fire, engaging in combat with the martial cultivators of Dutian Divine Palace.
The physical quality of these high-order soldier ants was comparable to that of Second and Third Grade martial cultivators, and they were large in number. Among them, the exceptionally strong ones could even match up to a First Grade martial cultivator.
Thankfully, these high-order soldier ants, having endured the long years within the seals, have lost their imitation ability and can currently only fight in their original form. Their combat capabilities are generally inferior to martial cultivators of the same level, just like many Giant Spirits, possessing great strength but being unable to harness it, not knowing how to wield it effectively.
Even so, after mobilizing more than three hundred elders from the entire sect, Dutian Divine Palace could only barely maintain the defense line.
At this time, at the peak of Heavenly Dome Mountain, a red-clad figure with a stunningly beautiful yet nearly demonic appearance, ’Divine Finger Dutian’ Chen Nailuo, was coldly gazing into the northern sky.
He appeared to be taking no action, nor was he participating in command.
However, all the disciples of Dutian Divine Palace knew that their palace master bore the greatest burden.
Among the ant swarm across the way, seven super-grade divine ants were being suppressed by Chen Nailuo alone.
This super First Grade, who was once as famous as ’Lighting World Demon Lamp’ Zong Shenhua, had been somewhat dormant and less renowned in recent years.
Yet in today’s battle, the prowess displayed by Chen Nailuo had astonishingly reached the peak of demigod level, approaching Near-God level!
He stood atop Heavenly Dome Mountain, like a colossal pillar sustaining half of the sky.
Behind Chen Nailuo, several elders of Dutian Divine Palace were shouting, transmitting tokens, all with expressions of grave seriousness and haste.
"Has Tianyang County’s soldiers arrived yet? Seventy more miles? Tell them to speed it up, inform Commander of Tianyang County, if they don’t come soon, they shouldn’t come at all."
"Has Jingcheng County’s soldiers arrived? Good, they have. The Commander of Jingcheng County is indeed a disciple nurtured by our Dutian Divine Palace. Have them set up formations along the fireline, be vigilant underground. These ants are incredible at burrowing."
"We also need to think of ways to gather more sorcerers here, the intensity of the firewall is not sufficient, we must prevent them from breaking through underground."
"Send another envoy to Yong State, urging them to dispatch troops quickly. Once these ants massively mimic bodies, it’s over! At that time, distinguishing between humans and insects would be tough, a recurrence of the Blood Ant disaster from nineteen thousand years ago will sweep across the entire Western Divine Continent. In the Western Regions, of billions of people, scarcely one in ten will survive! Do those high officials, generals, aristocratic families think they can survive?"
"What about Guiyuan Sword Sect? No response yet? They’ve arrived, but only nine thousand sword cultivators, setting up formations at Heavenly Phenomenon Mountain? Damn, why choose that place? I expected them to cover our flanks."
"What about the Infinite Blade Lord? Has anyone notified the Infinite Blade Lord?"
"There can’t be two suns in the sky, spanning ancient and contemporary! In this situation, only the Infinite Blade Lord can handle it. He is the Blood Vengeance Successor, his sword skill has received the true inheritance of Blood Vengeance."
"To be blunt, no matter how many forces we assemble now, how many martial cultivators come, it’s of no use. Only the Infinite Blade Lord, one blade can counter ten thousand—"
Chen Nailuo couldn’t help but glance sideways, his eyes coldly looking towards these Dutian Divine Palace elders behind him.
His fellow sect members appeared slightly embarrassed, all turning their heads to avoid his gaze.
Chen Nailuo let out a ’hmph’, redirecting his gaze forward.
He knew these few were hinting, wanting him to personally contact Li Changsheng, to request aid from the Formless Divine Sect.
However, a few years ago, among the sects that had blocked the Formless Divine Sect’s inheritance ’Divine Intent Touch Death Blade’ with great effort and earnestness, was their own Dutian Divine Palace.
At this moment, how could Chen Nailuo have the face to seek help from the Formless Divine Sect?
But merely ten breaths later, Chen Nailuo let out another light sigh.
No matter how embarrassed, he would need to put that aside now.
Losing face himself is better than letting his disciples lose their lives.
The numbers of the Daluo Ant Clan unsealed from Ten Thousand Cave Mountain were increasing, this was beyond the capability of a few Divine Sects and Demon Sects to block.
The power of Dutian Divine Palace could only sustain for one to two days at most.
Without stronger forces intervening, if this battle continues, Dutian Divine Palace will eventually see massive casualties.
Chen Nailuo drew a purple-gold talisman from his sleeve, setting it aflame.
It was an early Heavenly Gang Talisman ’Dream Bubble Shadow’ obtained from Zhe Dragon by Dutian Divine Palace.
Chen Nailuo used it here, hoping for dreams to come true, contacting the Master of Formless Sect, Li Changsheng, from over hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Soon after, a fist-sized seven-colored bubble appeared in front of Chen Nailuo.
Li Changsheng’s voice came through: "Who is it? Hmm~ It’s Lord Chen? What’s the matter?"
He initially sounded obviously puzzled, but quickly grasped the situation, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Chen Nailuo’s thin lips immediately tightened slightly, and the usually carefree, lazy, handsome face showed a hint of embarrassment, he let out a light growl: "Stop pretending to be confused, I’m here to borrow your blade! The Divine Intent Touch Death Blade!"
