Chapter 584: Divine Tribulation Cannon【Fourth Update】_1
Wars are never won in an instant.
Only with an overwhelming force can one decide the outcome of the world in a single battle.
The Northern Ridge Army changed its strategy from a full-scale offensive to a concentrated attack, as if forming a clenched fist.
Their military force has set out from the Northern Ridge Forbidden Lands, vast as the horizon. They did not rush to Dawu with breakneck speed, but instead built up their momentum, conquering one force after another along the way.
"Great! Let's attack in this way, marching together as one force. Let's apply pressure relentlessly, preventing them from assassinating us. Let's set their homeland ablaze with the fires of war, for the power of a nation's fate most fears chaos. A thriving dynasty compared to a chaotic dynasty is quite a different story entirely!"
Bei Chen knew it was difficult to attack Dawu.
Only by engulfing it in the flames of war and plunging it into chaos can its national destiny be broken.
"We must be cautious as we fight Dawu, we cannot be reckless in pursuit of merit. Truly, our actions are but complementing the Imperial Army, which will be the main force against Dawu. Once Dawu is broken, the Holy Sky Empire will be undoubtedly annihilated!"

"Maintain the advancement of the army!"
They decided not to pull the large army into the Divine Artifact and transport it directly.
Even though the Divine Artifact is a formidable asset, sudden attacks could force the army out from it, opening them to slaughter by a scattered formation. Dawu certainly wouldn't give them time to regroup.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The movement of such a large army couldn't be concealed. Dawu wasn't going to sit idly by waiting for death. Once they left the Northern Ridge Forbidden Lands and the army was halfway on the move, a vast fleet of Stellar Sky Battleships appeared.
More Stellar Sky Battleships have been constructed over the years.
"Attention, the Dawu battleships are coming!"
"Don't panic, they will send out strong warriors; everything is within our plan!"
"Good! Since they have come, let's prepare ourselves and fight them. Otherwise, under the protection of their nation's luck, it would be even more troublesome for us to take action!"
"This fits in perfectly with our intentions!"
The Northern Ridge Army, seeing the arrival of the Dawu Battleships, did not panic but instead got excited and shouted loudly. This is exactly the situation they wanted to see.
"Attack, prepare to counter-attack!"
The Northern Ridge Alliance set themselves in motion. Their large-scale maneuvers had been designed to prepare for a clash with Dawu at any moment.
The enormous army turned into a surging tide, carrying the momentum of a rolling storm.
The reason why the Imperial Army has not yet taken action is that they are waiting for the Northern Ridge Alliance to press against the borders of Dawu. Then, they plan to simultaneously launch an attack from both sides, making it impossible for Dawu to focus all its energies in one place.
They had certain knowledge about Dawu's strong warriors.
Even if there were some they did not know of, they wouldn't be in large numbers.
If they hadn't been wary of Dawu's powerful equipment and endless resources, they wouldn't have been so cautious.
"The Divine Judgment Cannon, Unleash Divine Judgement!"
An immense number of Divine Judgment Cannons were placed on several hundred large battleships. Upon arrival, the commanders of the fleet did not hesitate and directly activated the most potent skill of the Divine Judgment Cannon – the Divine Judgement attack.
This attack consumed a vast amount of Divine Stones, especially the Holy God Stones. One wave of attack could burn up millions of these stones at once.
The light beam of the Divine Judgment fired from the ships, the brightness engulfed everything, and the entire universe drowned in a sea of energy. The terrifying power of Divine Judgment evaporated the entire void.
Horrible...
The moment the Divine Judgement was initiated, the energy evaporated all sound. No screams could be heard.
But you could see it. The light of Divine Judgement tore through the Northern Ridge Alliance, creating large empty spaces. Celestial Gods, Prophets alike were swept up, turned into dust in an instant, without leaving any remnant.
Just this one attack exterminated too many of the enemy's powerful warriors.
The Alliance army was also astonished. They had never seen the power of such a cannon even during the fight at the Eastern Forbidden Land.
"Kill!"
The force of the Dawu Army emerged forcefully, pushing forward. Even the most potent warriors from the Demon World had been recruited and integrated into various corps. At this moment, they unleashed their destructive power, hurling the Northern Ridge Alliance into a devastating war.
A bloody war machine set in motion, leading to terrifying slaughter.
"Where did all these Celestial Gods come from!"
The warriors from the Demon World were very unfamiliar with this group. With the sudden intrusion of the accompanying large army, the already disorganized Northern Ridge Alliance became even more chaotic.
Moreover, the Dawu Army was working in perfect synchrony. Even though they were outnumbered, they took advantage of their harmony and superior equipment to unleash an intense combat power instantly.
"Do not panic, hold your ground!"
Seeing the chaos amid the army, which led to even greater losses, the Celestial Gods immediately roared to restore order using their mana.
"All forces of Dawu, retreat!"
Once the enemy regrouped, the Dawu forces that had infiltrated abruptly withdrew, without further engagement.
"Are they going to just leave after causing us such huge losses?"
Bei Chen was furious. Within such a short time, the losses they sustained were immense. He gathered his mana to form a giant battle halberd, striking fiercely at the fleet.
Boom!
When the halberd fell, a ray of Sword Qi flashed past. Li Jianqing, who was aboard one of the ships, had intervened, blocking the attack.
"What formidable Sword Dao mastery!" Bei Chen looked at Li Jianqing, his face grave. "At the eighth level of Celestial God, you could block my power. Your divine sword is incredible, as is your understanding of Sword Dao."
He was a genuine Sword Cultivator.
"World-Shaking Divine Halberd!"
The Imperial Divine Artifact unleashed the power to split mountains and rivers. Bei Chen held the halberd, applying great pressure. His advantage lay in being several minor realms higher than his opponent.
"Sovereign of the Heavenly Sword!"
With the cold light of his sword, Li Jianqing was like the Sovereign of the sword in the universe, ruling over the starry sky. With the power of the divine halberd descending and clashing with his sword, sparks blew out into the sky, each one exploding like a volcano.
Bei Chen was ferocious in his attacks, pressing down heavily with his divine halberd.
Where the sword points, the mountains and rivers will be split!
Li Jianqing infused all his power into his divine sword. Each slash he made would create a long river of swords. The formidable Sword Qi turbulence between the two prevented any ordinary warrior from getting close.
"Incredible! His sword isn't ordinary, but a Sword Dao treasure containing the origin of Sword Qi. Moreover, his ferocious combat power as a Sword Cultivator has the capability to harm me!"
Bei Chen was apprehensive in his heart and dared not be negligent.
"River of Heavenly Swords!"
Li Jianqing knew it wasn't the time to tangle with Bei Chen. His River of Heavenly Swords surged forward, covering the retreat of the battleship.
A number of Celestial Gods from the Demon World attempted to stop them.
"Sword that Slaughters Gods!"
All of a sudden, Li Jianqing used an extremely powerful sword attack, pouring his spirit, energy, and vitality into it, aiming at Bei Chen. With the speed of a split second, he made a strike.
"Not good!"
Bei Chen hastily retreated.
He knew that, if hit by this sword, even though he could severely wound Li Jianqing, he would have to pay a significant price, perhaps even the price of death. He hesitated a moment before choosing to dodge.
His evasion provided the large army a golden opportunity to withdraw. They instantly vanished from the battlefield and disappeared into the boundless void.
