Changqing Sacred City and Changfeng Sacred City were under attack simultaneously.


    In the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu, the most powerful figure was undoubtedly, the Great Emperor of Everlasting Qingmu.


    Ranking second was not any individual, but the Immortal Divine Tree, which defended the Imperial City and could wield the power of national destiny.


    An entity like the Lord of the Holy Sky Empire could still be suppressed to death, as it gave birth to its own spirit and intelligence.


    However, although the Immortal Divine Tree was powerful, its physical features made it difficult for it to move freely like other divine beings.


    Moreover, the Immortal Divine Tree’s strength was most potent when it was situated within the Imperial City.


    "The Holy Sky Empire, the Holy Sky Emperor himself leads the charge. His strength is formidable, and he possesses divine spirits of light. Changfeng City enters its highest alert, ready to confront the Holy Sky Imperial Army!"


    The Everlasting Empire of Qingmu responded.


    With the five Emperors yet to return, this was undoubtedly their most vulnerable moment, and the perfect opportunity for other forces in the eternal world to strike back.


    "Hmph! Our strength is far from simple as they imagined. Do they really think they can do as they please just because the Great Emperor has not returned? Ridiculous! This time we’ll strike back fiercely, give them a bitter lesson and make them pay a terrible price. Let them understand that struggling only leads to a dead-end; only giving up all resistance may offer a chance to survive!"


    "It’s time to show them our true power!"


    "The great formation is about to succeed. At this time, it can’t be destroyed. As long as the great formation is activated, the Great Emperor will be guided back to the eternal world!"


    Within the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu, waves of ancient sentiments roiled.


    They whispered coldly, these fools, really thinking that without the return of the five Emperors, they can rebel? This is sheer ignorance.


    "Dawu is launching an attack on Changqing Sacred City. They are not shrouded by the power of destiny and have ventured out, giving us the perfect opportunity to annihilate their army. To prevent any unexpected events, Changqing Sacred God will defend Changqing Sacred City, and the empire will also give you some of our resources.


    "We can’t underestimate Dawu. Their daring attack shows that they have enough confidence."


    "The power this kingdom has repeatedly shown is too unpredictable."


    "Bring them into the striking range of Changqing Sacred City."


    ...


    "I shall sit in the Imperial City, and with me here, no one can break the City."


    It was an even more ancient voice, originating from the Immortal Divine Tree.


    It was too ancient. Even before the Great Emperor of Everlasting Qingmu founded the empire, it was already by the Emperor’s side. Although it was just a divine tree, the powerful beings of the empire held great respect for it.


    Its presence made the Imperial City impervious, allowing them to divert a vast amount of power in other directions.


    "Set out!"


    A new round of war had begun.


    Within the Sacred City, numerous Divine Trees could be seen, evergreen all year round, born from the seeds of the Immortal Divine Tree.


    Eternally Green!


    This was the origin of Changqing and Changmu Sacred Cities.


    Many people stood on the walls of Changqing Sacred City, their eyes first seeing numberless battleships spraying rainbow light descending, followed by an endless army extending to the horizon, dark and imposing.


    Once Dawu arrived, they immediately began to deploy for the attack.


    "Changqing Sacred God, Dawu’s army is coming fiercely. We still don’t know what power they are hiding. Should we send a troop to disrupt their formation while they are still settling down?"


    The main gods were gathered inside a large discussion hall, looking at Changqing Sacred God on the primary seat, all requesting to fight.


    "No need. Given Dawu’s quality, our going out to battle might very well backfire. The army of Dawu, unlike other armies, is determined and unlikely to be knocked back by a single blow. Their combat power is extremely robust."


    Even though Changqing Sacred God was facing Dawu, his face wasn’t easy.


    He knew this battle would be tough.


    The four Sacred Cities couldn’t possibly draw all their forces here for the fight.


    "Any news from Martial Emperor?" Changqing Sacred God inquired.


    "Unclear. Some say that Martial Emperor is still in Imperial City, others say he has reached the front line, and still others claim he is in Long Yin City. In short, no one can fathom Martial Emperor’s movements."


    Someone answered.


    "I would rather know that Martial Emperor is right here in my Changqing Sacred City, than not knowing his location. His existence poses too great a threat. Even the empire does not comprehend the depth of the oncoming Dawu’s offense."


    Changqing Sacred God gazed in the direction of Dawu’s army.


    He noticed many soldiers bringing out siege equipment.


    But he knew.


    To think of breaking open the heavily defended Sacred City with these siege machinery would be a joke. With the protection of the Immortal Divine Tree, the Sacred City was as strong as a fortress. It wasn’t that easy to break in.


    But... Dawu.


    He dared not underestimate.


    They were still hiding their final strategy for breaching the city. For now, it remained unknown to everyone else.


    Rumble rumble!


    The sound of cannon fire.


    The warfire blazed, and the battle broke out!
