The golden bell at the Dawn Tower had only recently ceased its ringing to celebrate the victory at the Red Plains, but this morning, the palace walls trembled again from hurried footsteps. Inside the Golden Dragon Grand Hall, a fog of panic suddenly burst forth, replacing the usual calming scent of spiritual incense. The news of the sudden invasion by the Northern Empire at the northern gate had reached the emperor's ears in the Eastern capital, triggering mass panic in the court assembly hall filled with ministers and generals whose faces instantly paled."What?! The Northern Empire's forces breached our gate without a declaration of war?!" Prime Minister Lu shouted until his hat nearly fell off, his hand gripping his jade staff in trembling fury. "How is this possible?! The northern outpost was just restored a few weeks ago!""Reports from the remaining spatial array fragments confirm it, Prime Minister!" a military courier knelt, gasping for breath, his armor stained with border mu

The howling wind at Wolf Ridge Mountain Pass swirled with increasing ferocity, yet the cold released by the Northern Empire's heavy infantry seemed to freeze in the air, held back by an invisible wall radiating from Lin Feng. White snow dust swirled around the cliff rocks. Amid the raging storm's vortex, Lin Feng's tall figure slowly rose, leaving the icy muddy ground occupied by the remnants of Zhang Hao's silver armor troops.Lin Feng stood at the peak of the snowstorm, observing the Northern Empire forces' fighting style with his empty silver eyes. Behind the darkness of his black hood, those pupil-less eyes glinted coldly, recording every linear movement of the thousands of ice war chariots now beginning to reorganize their battle formation after being momentarily repelled by the Black Disaster's slash. His crystal face appeared extremely calm, untouched by the enemy's fierce shouts due to the grip of Divine Erosion. Yet, there was a faint furrow on his snowy brow, a sign that the

The scale of the battle at Wolf Ridge Mountain Pass had surpassed the boundaries of the northern border region. Within mere hours after Lin Feng's anonymous troops erected the wall of void, the war at the northern border expanded further in all directions, transforming the lush green mountain range into an eternal ice plain filled with the corpses of soldiers from both sides. Spiritual trees toppled, shrouded in frozen crystal, and natural trenches filled with bodies frozen stiff beneath the extreme snowstorm."Retreat! The left hill sector has completely collapsed into ice!" roared General Long, channeling his golden Qi to pull several war chariots nearly buried by a massive avalanche. "General Zhang Hao, do not let your division get trapped in the lower valley!""I will not retreat, General Long!" Zhang Hao replied fiercely from the icy mud ground, his blue spear continuously spinning to neutralize the remaining ice arrows from the air. "Those black-robed troops are holding the cent

The horizon at the northern border no longer showed the clear blue sky. After the Sixth Heaven's Gate opened through the death energy sacrifice at Wolf Ridge Mountain Pass, the atmosphere across this border region turned terrifying and thickly turbulent. Storm clouds of purple mixed with silver rolled low, emitting the stench of sulfur and extraordinarily dense spiritual pressure. That pressure was so massive that it compressed the air's density, forcing low-level spiritual beasts to suffocate in their dens as their meridians were crushed by the sky's laws."The air circulation in this sector has been contaminated by the Sixth Heaven's laws, Mulan," Lin Feng whispered slowly.He stepped, hovering one inch above the cracked, arid ground. His thick black hood was perfectly in place, hiding his crystal face from the outside world. Behind his robe's fabric, his pair of pure silver pupil-less eyes continuously observed the energy ripple movements in the air with high logical calculation pr

TWANG!!!!The echo of that mysterious string pluck did not only crack the earth but directly radiated an extraordinarily pure and dense silver sound wave. That vertical disc-shaped sound ripple shot linearly, striking the blade of the law sword belonging to the emissary precisely one inch above Lin Feng's face. The collision between divine metal and ancient melodic energy triggered an extraordinarily noisy high-frequency hum, forcing the golden sword ready to execute the new emperor to freeze stiffly in the air, trembling violently as it refused to descend further."Who?!" the level 9 Law Manifestation realm Sky Emissary growled hoarsely. His hollow golden eyes suddenly flashed stiffly, detecting an intrusion of a new variable not registered in his Golden Domain matrix.From behind the valley's smoke mist, split open by the sound crack, a very familiar shadow figure glided down from the cliff's peak. Her steps did not touch the ground, but rather hovered above the silver wave ripples
