Wang Chong’s body erupted with Stellar Energy, pushing back the pair while he pulled away, creating distance.
“What do you mean?”
The Divine Lords were taken aback by this reply, a sliver of unease in their hearts.
Wang Chong chuckled and put them aside. He could already sense that, though it had come a little slowly, the third phase of the plan had begun.
Now, it’s time for the third phase of my plan!
Buzz!
With this thought, Wang Chong sent a powerful mental ripple into the distance.
Roooar!
The steel fortress began to shudder as an energy-sealing formation was shattered. At the same time, a savage and primordial roar came from within, and the entire fortress clattered from the terrifying sound wave.
A moment later, a giant ape shot out of the fortress like a cannonball and then smashed into the ground like a meteor, the shockwave from the impact causing countless people to stagger.
The King Ape!
A giant ape Behemoth nearly one thousand feet high had appeared in the rear of the Tang army.
Cries of alarm came from all sides, and even An Lushan couldn’t help but grimace.
After the Battle of Talas and the war of the northwest, the Behemoth Army that Arabia had gone to great lengths to construct had become world-renowned. Even though the countries around the Great Tang had never seen it before, they could instantly recognize one of its members.
But there was a small difference from their reports. This King Ape did not come unadorned, but instead had specially made armor around its legs, arms, fists, and chest.
This armor did not fully enclose it, only covering a few vital points, but it served to greatly boost its defense and offensive power.
The King Ape was massive, and with this armor, it appeared even more frightening.
On the battlefield, each alliance soldier that saw this enormous being felt their heart tremble in fear.
Myth had become reality, presenting an enormous shock to all of them.
“He actually brought this beast over!”
The two Divine Lords were also flabbergasted by this development.
The enormous King Ape was a god-devil to ordinary soldiers, but it wasn’t much of a danger to the two Divine Lords.
What the two of them were more concerned about was that the steel fortress had previously been cut off from mental senses.
Wang Chong had set up numerous Psychic Seals in the fortress, thus preventing the two of them from noticing the King Ape within the fortress.
Boom!
After landing, the King Ape swung its heavy cudgel, causing the ground to tremble. Hundreds of Tang soldiers wearing special armor slid down from the cudgel and the King Ape’s arms.
These soldiers had weapons, armor, and an aura completely different from other soldiers.
A few moments later, the fortress gates boomed open, and an elite army wearing similar armor emerged, seemingly out of place on this battlefield.
Rumble!
This army moved with incredible speed, swiftly marching toward the King Ape’s location.
“Hahaha, is that your trump card? Do you think that this giant ape and this army can contend against this doomsday army we specifically prepared for this war?”
The two Divine Lords coldly laughed.
Wang Chong had seemed so assured that the two of them had believed that he had something else up his sleeve, but in the end, he was just relying on the King Ape and his last reserve of several tens of thousands of soldiers.
“It’s pointless! You’re just deceiving yourself!” the other Divine Lord said, disdain on his face.
Roooar!
In response came the roar of the King Ape, and before the two of them could react, the giant ape leaped and swung its cudgel at the two Divine Lords.
“This beast? You’re actually trying…”
The Divine Lords grinned as they easily dodged the King Ape’s attack.
The King Ape might have been a world destroyer for ordinary people, a fierce and intimidating existence, but it was barely anything to the two of them.
This sort of clumsy attack wouldn’t even be able to touch a corner of their clothes. For Wang Chong to use this beast against them was utterly laughable.
Whoosh!
With a howl, the giant cudgel swung past. As expected, it was easily dodged.
“How disappointing!”
While dodging, the two of them even had the time to stare at Wang Chong and jeer.
In this battle, the two of them only cared about Wang Chong. As for the King Ape, they would have plenty of time to take care of it once the battle was over. Even dismembering its giant corpse would be easy. But as these thoughts ran through their minds…
Bang!
The clumsy King Ape suddenly began to move ten times faster, exhibiting a flexibility and agility that made one sigh in praise.
Before the two Divine Lords could react, the giant cudgel swung at ’empty space’, seemingly predicting their trajectory.
With a massive boom, the Divine Lord who had just moved into that position was struck by the King Ape’s sweeping cudgel. The massive impact almost slammed the organs out of his body, and it also left him stricken with fear.
“Impossible! How could this beast see through our trajectory?” the Divine Lord who had been struck cried out in alarm, his soul almost leaving his body.
As the Divine Lord was blasted away, he heard laughter that seemed like a mixture of human and beast. The King Ape gripped the cudgel with one hand as it stared at the two Divine Lords.
The Divine Lords could read the same meaning in those crimson eyes: ‘Fools!’
“Bastard!”
“Damn it!”
The two instantly understood, their hearts filling with hatred. This was no King Ape, but yet another of Wang Chong’s clones.
Behemoths could not have intelligence, but it was no difficult task for Wang Chong to predict their trajectory.
Roooar!
After knocking away one of the Divine Lords, the King Ape did not pursue. What was important in this battle was not these two Divine Lords, but the Yeluohe down below.
Bang!
The King Ape roared and strode forward, its armored sole stomping down on the Yeluohe ranks, easily crushing several of them.
Right after that, the King Ape swung its cudgel around and slammed it into the part of the battlefield where the assault of the Yeluohe was the fiercest.
With a massive boom, several hundred Yeluohe were blasted into the air by the impact.
The King Ape’s immense strength was proving astonishingly effective against the Yeluohe.

Bangbangbang!
The Yeluohe that had been knocked into the air suddenly began to explode. Those nearly invincible bodies that could endure an enormous number of attacks burst into shards of ice that rained down from the skies in a magnificent display.
“Impossible!”
The eyes of the Divine Works Elder almost fell out of their sockets in disbelief.
“How could something like this happen? Impossible!”
No one understood the truth of the Yeluohe more than him, for he had been one of their creators.
These Yeluohe were the fusion of corpses with the life energy of another world. From a certain perspective, they were already dead. Thus, no matter what fatal wounds they received, so long as their head remained, they would not be destroyed.
The King Ape’s metal cudgel was merely a physical attack, and to the undying Yeluohe, this sort of attack actually had the weakest effect.
In normal circumstances, the King Ape’s cudgel should have been able to kill one Yeluohe at most, certainly not cause several hundred of them to explode into shar
ds of ice in the air.
This was clearly abnormal. Something fishy was going on!
The Divine Works Elder swiftly scanned the battlefield and soon discovered something strange.
The King Ape held that imposing cudgel in its right hand, so everyone was drawn to the right, but the Divine Works Elder noticed that the King Ape was holding something else in its left hand.
“That seems to be… some sort of cauldron.
“No! Impossible! How could something like that appear here!?”
The Divine Works Elder staggered back a few steps, his body trembling in shock.
A Zhuan Xu Cauldron!
(TN: Zhuan Xu was the Yellow Emperor’s grandson and is considered one of the Five Emperors.)
As a thought ran through the Divine Works Elder’s mind, his face scowled.
“How could this be? The Zhuan Xu Cauldrons have been lost for nearly one thousand years. We spent ages looking for them, and not even Heaven knows where they are. How was he able to find one?”
The Divine Works Elder’s lips were trembling in shock.
The Divine Works Elder was not a powerful fighter like Genesis Supreme, but through the powerful methods of the Celestial God Organization, he had obtained a lifespan of countless years. He knew almost all the treasures and ritual tools of the world.
This was not the first time a Zhuan Xu Cauldron had appeared. This was perhaps the only thing that could counter the power in the Yeluohe.
No! Not only could it counter the Yeluohe, it was extremely effective against the life energy from that other world.
This was an enormous threat to the Celestial God Organization.
The Divine Works Elder was so frantic with worry that he couldn’t help but bellow at the front, “Destroy that cauldron!”
He finally understood what the army Wang Chong had sent out was for.
“Mm?”
Wang Chong heard this voice, and his gaze crossed the battlefield and noticed the Divine Works Elder in the rear of the alliance army.
Though he had never seen this man before, that emblematic black robe on his body immediately made Wang Chong realize what sort of man this was.
“It seems there’s still someone smart on the other side!”
Wang Chong grinned.
With these words alone, he could tell that this old fellow wasn’t an ordinary person. This was probably someone of extremely high status in the men in black, but Wang Chong didn’t care that this man had seen the truth. This was all within his expectations, and there was no one who could take one of the Divine Land Cauldrons from him.
“Kill!”
With a bellow, Zhao Jingdian, who had been missing for some time now, pulled out his sword and led the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Nine Cauldron Division in a charge against the Yeluohe.
The Yeluohe were simply too strong, the thirty thousand soldiers tearing through the Tang formation in a storm. The Nine Heavens, Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation was already on the verge of crumbling.
Gallop!
Hooves thundered as Wang Chong’s Nine Cauldron Division charged onto the battlefield.
Roooar!
At the same time, Wang Chong’s giant ape also threw itself into the fray! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Looking at one of the Yeluohe, a Nine Cauldron Division horseman charged out like an arrow from its bow, and as he charged fearlessly forward, he swung his saber at his foe.
Clang!
Weapons clashed as the two sides began to fiercely battle.
The Nine Cauldron Division soldiers were not much stronger than the surrounding soldiers.
But when the saber swung down, the result was completely different.
Crack! The right arm of that seemingly unstoppable Yeluohe began to snap and fracture, countless tiny cracks appearing across its surface.
The seemingly indifferent Yeluohe also showed a hint of emotion, shock appearing in those crimson eyes.
“Attack its right hand! Hurry!” the Nine Cauldron Division horseman roared.
The surrounding Tang elites felt as if they had awoken from a dream, and joined that soldier in frenziedly attacking that Yeluohe.
Bang!
A few moments later, the Yeluohe’s right arm shattered like glass, and the right hand holding the rusted sword thudded to the ground.
Boomboomboom!
Right after, another horseman of the Nine Cauldron Division swung his saber at that Yeluohe. His Stellar Energy was infused with a special energy, and with each swing, a dark golden energy that was difficult to detect flew out of his body, along his weapon, and into the Yeluohe’s body.
This energy was not powerful, but as the thin strands penetrated into the Yeluohe, they wreaked havoc on its body.
These thin strands of dark golden energy seemed to be capable of completely dissolving the structure of the Yeluohe.
Bang!
A few moments later, after a flurry of attacks, the eyes of the Yeluohe, which had been flickering like a candle, suddenly went out.
The imposing body toppled off the horse, now utterly devoid of life and energy.
“It-it really worked!”
When that Yeluohe finally fell over, the surrounding Tang elites found it hard to conceal the shock in their eyes. With their advantage in numbers, they had really managed to kill one of the unkillable Yeluohe.
“Hurry! Work with the others to break them!” that Nine Cauldron Division horseman called out, his voice urgent and his chest heaving, large beads of sweat trickling down his pale face. It was clear that the battle just now had been extremely taxing on him.
The Nine Cauldron Division had been formed very recently, and only they understood how difficult this sort of battle was. The Nine Cauldron energy in their bodies was extremely weak and could not persist for very long.
And without this energy, the battle would have had an entirely different result.
Thudthudthud!
As the Nine Cauldron Division joined the battle, the seemingly unstoppable Yeluohe finally ran into a roadblock. Their speed slowed as Yeluohe began to fall to the ground. In just a few short moments, at least one thousand of the Yeluohe had fallen to the cold ground.
“What’s going on with those soldiers?”
An Lushan’s eyes flew open, his face paling.
“This bastard! Where did he get soldiers like these from?
“Impossible! There’s no army in the world that should be able to contend against the Yeluohe!”
An Lushan scowled.
For this war, when he only had six or seven thousand Yeluohe, he had already been bursting with confidence, believing that these were enough to sweep over the world and obtain the final victory.
However, he could see that while this Tang army was still no match for the Yeluohe, it still had the ability to resist.
Nearly two thousand Yeluohe had died in these few moments. If not for the twenty thousand Yeluohe that Genesis Supreme had sent over, his Yeluohe would have been quickly ground down by Wang Chong.
“This bastard!
“Even if I lose all my soldiers, I’ll have his head!”
An Lushan clenched his teeth in rage, his eyes thick with killing intent.
He truly was a little afraid now. Wang Chong had far too many tricks. He couldn’t even tell which was Wang Chong’s real body, let alone fight with him!
“Kill them all! Leave no one alive!”
An Lushan’s face darkened as a mysterious symbol appeared on his forehead. A moment later, a powerful stream of Psychic Energy shot out and linked him with the Yeluohe.
This was a special mark that Genesis Supreme had left him. Through this symbol, An Lushan could directly order all of the Yeluohe.
Creee!
Following An Lushan’s will, the Yeluohe let out inhuman roars, their bodies erupting with deathly energy. They began to crazily attack the Tang army with several times their previous force.
Plush! Plush! Plush! Cold light flashed as the we
apons swept across the bodies of the Nine Cauldron soldiers, blood spurting out as they dropped lifelessly to the ground.
In this battle, the Yeluohe remained a formidable threat to the Nine Cauldron Division.

Neeeigh!
His horse letting out a frightening neigh, that most powerful and imposing Yeluohe leader gripped his giant saber and charged forward.
Boom! “Aaaagh!” In an explosion of bloody mist and Stellar Energy, several dozen Tang cavalry in his path were instantly turned to gore, not even whole limbs left.
They had been instantly obliterated, only leaving behind a few dark ice shards that scattered with the wind. Meanwhile, the silver hair of the Yeluohe leader danced beneath his helmet as he turned his gaze to the immense figure of the King Ape.
Bang!
Without the slightest hesitation, the Yeluohe leader charged at the King Ape!
Roooar!
The King Ape savagely swung its cudgel, and at almost the same time, the Yeluohe leader slashed his saber.
The two weapons were on completely different scales, but when they clashed, there was a massive explosion. The Yeluohe leader had managed to block the King Ape’s terrifying strike!
Moreover, as cudgel clashed with saber, an unimaginably concentrated death energy traveled up the cudgel and to the King Ape.
“This is… He can gather energy from the other Yeluohe!”
Wang Chong’s eyes widened as he sensed something strange while controlling the King Ape.
In his clash with the Yeluohe leader, Wang Chong had sensed an icy storm of energy coming out of the Yeluohe army and surging into the leader.
By gathering up this immense energy, the Yeluohe leader was able to display a strength that was not one bit inferior to the King Ape’s.
But a moment later, the King Ape clenched the Divine Land Cauldron in its left hand and punched at the Yeluohe leader.
The Yeluohe leader’s savage expression became tinged with fear as he dodged to the side, his offensive slowed.
