No wonder the Demon Clan was able to preserve their strength during the great war with the Immortal Realm, the contributions of the Primordial Banner must not be overlooked.

However.

While the Primordial Banner can switch positions, it does not have an amplifying effect, so in the end, the battle still comes down to the respective strengths of each side...

"Human Emperor, the Immortal Emperor has trapped the Middle Heavenly State and clearly intends to lure us there. What should we do?" the Demon Emperor asked.

The invasion of a million-strong army from the Heavenly Court into the Mortal Realm and the coverage of Middle Heavenly State with giant trees brought back memories of the previous great war between celestials and demons, casting a somewhat grim expression on his face.

The many Demon Kings of the Demon Clan gathered in the Southern Zen Region, rubbing their hands together with excitement, their faces similarly shining with eager light. In hushed voices, they all discussed how many Heavenly Soldiers they wanted to slay.

Duge's gaze swept over the gathering of the Demon Clan, then landed on the Southern State Army of the Human Race.

Unlike the Demon Clan, the scholars and Military Generals of the Southern State Army, comprised of the Human Race, displayed solemn expressions and radiated tension from within.

The Human Race has always been synonymous with weakness, and those with Literary and Martial Hearts had never fought in actual combat; facing the elite troops of the Immortal Court as soon as they enter the battlefield would understandably cause nervousness.

The commander of the Southern State Army was Ye Guan, who possessed the keyword 'Heed Wide-Ranging Advice.' Her first skill was to accept others' suggestions and strive to accomplish the goals set forth; she could always reach the target by doing so.

In the days prior, she had awakened her second skill 'Ambrosial Revelation.' When people of higher status explained principles to her, she could instantly understand them and use that understanding to infer other principles.

With the help of her second skill, her level soared rapidly, and she had already sprinted toward the Golden Immortal Realm. Had there not been a shortage of Spiritual Energy and masters, she probably wouldn't have needed much longer to reach the Great Luo Realm.

Not only that, but she had also awakened both Literary Heart and Martial Gall, making her one of the rare all-around talents among many Alien Warriors.

The deputy commander was Fu Qiao, who possessed the keyword 'Verbose.' His previously awakened skill allowed his voice to penetrate directly into people's minds, disrupting any peaceful state of mind.

Now, he had also awakened his second skill, 'Voice of Hundred Birds.' When he spoke, it was as if a hundred people were speaking at once.

With the support of the second skill, his first skill was exploited to the utmost.

As long as he spoke, any person would be disturbed to the point of irritation, and subsequently seek to kill him to eliminate the source of the noise.

The combination of the two skills became the ultimate taunting ability.

However, lacking the gift for cultivation, even with an accumulation of various Elixirs and Cultivation Techniques, his cultivation level had only just barely reached that of a True Immortal.

In the chaos of battle, a single spell could incinerate him.

In the Southern State Army, there were also almost twenty more Alien Warriors; their cultivation levels were even weaker, with many yet to survive their Heavenly Tribulation.

No matter how incredible the skills linked to their keywords were, without someone to protect them, they would be of little use on the battlefield of the Immortal Realm, where spells flew wildly.

But they couldn't just be hidden in the rear. Duge wasn't their real father, willing to sacrifice himself to protect their growth. Besides, how to stimulate their potential if they were not sent to the battlefield?

If their potential wasn't stimulated, who would the Underworld Emperor and Demon Emperor and the rest take over in the future?

...

Fight, first withstand a direct confrontation head-on, then make other decisions.

If, as the Human Emperor, he showed no action while the Middle Heavenly State was trapped by the Immortal Court, he would lose the confidence the Human Race had in him!

Moreover, what Duge desired was not victory on the battlefield, but rather the liveliness of the Alien Battlefield...

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the Demon Emperor, saying, "I would trouble the Demon Emperor to mobilize the armies from the other four states to come here, then separate one legion from the Immortal Court. We will concentrate our superior forces and encircle and annihilate them, giving them a taste of our strength."

"We can't encircle and annihilate them," the Demon Emperor said, looking at Duge and shaking his head. "Indeed, the Primordial Banner can displace form and position, but the Heavenly Court also has troop-transporting spells. Shifting positions can be sustained for at most a quarter of an hour before we get surrounded."

"Then we'll just change positions before they manage to encircle us," Duge said.

"Human Emperor, you're not asking me to move one or two people, but tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and they're not coordinated to begin with. How can such movement be so easy? Plus, moving so many people with the Primordial Banner requires prior refinement.

There are Ten Celestial Venerables in the Immortal Court, and even if their magical power is not quite equal to mine, the difference is not much. They won't give me such an opportunity," the Demon Emperor frowned. "Besides, I'm not a Saint. I don't have unlimited magical power. How could I possibly use a Magical Treasure instantly?"

Alright!

Even using the Immortal-slaying Flying Dagger requires asking the treasure politely to turn around.

He had become accustomed to using skills so much that he started treating these Magical Treasures as skills.

Duge chuckled awkwardly, picking up on the important point in the Demon Emperor's statement, and asked, "Does that mean the giant tree projections can't be moved around at will either?"

"To keep a projection of a giant tree covering a whole state is already no small feat. If it could be moved around at will, the Immortal Emperor would be able to instantly traverse the four seas and five lakes. Who then could defeat him?" The Demon Emperor looked at Duge and asked, "Are you really the Incarnation of Heaven?"

"In my world, Magical Treasures don't have so many limitations." Seeing the skepticism in the Demon Emperor's eyes, Duge laughed and explained, "Some Innate Supreme Treasures, even if held by ordinary Cultivators, could be used correctly to reverse-kill Great Luo Golden Immortals."

"Hmph!" the Demon Emperor scoffed.

"Demon Emperor, let us begin," Duge said nonchalantly, "Since we can't completely annihilate the enemy, let's first find out the abilities of the Daoist Ancestor's twelve Alien Warriors and, incidentally, see what kind of surprise the Daoist Ancestor has left for us?"
