"No news has come in yet, but it’s probably exactly as you suspect. If not—if the immortal-beast army really is that powerful—then our chances in this war are bleak. Truly bleak!" declared a late-stage Immortal Emperor elder, his voice heavy with worry.
"How’s the construction on those Teleportation Gates? Why don’t you all go check the other three locations? There shouldn’t be any big problems here for now, and if disaster really strikes, I still have ways to deal with it!"
“This Immortal-Beast War—I wanted so badly to keep our casualties to a minimum. But now, looking at the situation, that hope is basically shattered. The immortal-beast army is packed with experts: Immortal Lord Realm powerhouses number almost ten thousand, and there are hundreds at Immortal Emperor Realm. That lineup is seriously beyond what anyone expected.” Evan Chu said, bitterness and helplessness twisting in his heart.
The others were shocked by how clearly Evan Chu could see through the enemy’s ranks and strength. Just how terrifying did his eyesight and divine sense have to be to pull that off?
"Palace Lord, rest easy! We’ll head out to investigate right now. Even without Teleportation Gates, we can fly back in half a day—no problem at all! Just wait for our report!" one elder said with utmost respect to Evan Chu.
Once the others had left, Evan Chu, Goldwing, and his special training squad hung silently in the air, watching the battlefield unfold below. Immortal beasts were dying in droves, and the Immortal Realm’s army was taking a heavy beating as well.
These cannon-fodder beasts were inflicting massive losses on the Immortal Realm’s soldiers. Evan Chu’s heart blazed with rage—he wanted nothing more than to swoop down and butcher these contemptible, ant-like beasts with his own hands.
But he forced himself to endure. He was the Supreme Commander—the one who led the entire war. Rushing into battle at the very start, just to deal with these ant-like weaklings, would be beneath him. With his attack power, a single Star-Slaying strike could wipe out hundreds of immortal beasts in one blow—maybe even more. But this wasn’t the time.
Slaughtering immortal beasts might seem trivial, but if the killing grew excessive, it could have a huge impact on his future ascension to the God Realm—triggering terrifying heavenly punishment. If he got stuck in the Immortal Realm for ages, unable to ascend, that would be a nightmare. Some things, no matter how bitter, had to be endured. This was one of them.
Blazefire Immortal Lord and several Immortal Emperors were the true spearheads on the battlefield. Against these immortal beasts, every move was a kill—none dared get close to them.
