Chapter 2390 - The Final Battlefield! (1/2)
One month flew by much faster than expected. The clouds of war thickly covered the Central Plains, and a somber mood engulfed the land.
At this time, on the Turkic steppe, black clouds roiled and sandstorms howled.
The once lush and glossy grass of the steppe had been influenced by Heaven’s altar formation, the grass wilting and crumbling into sand. It was like all life was being absorbed by that glassy, golden barrier. While it was bright and resplendent above, the ground was dead and somber.
In the center of the steppe, divine sealing characters floated in the air, dividing the earth in two like a giant sword.
As the vast army of humanity converged on the Turkic steppe, behind that vast barrier, countless golden-armored figures were at work.
Their eyes were cold, and they exuded an extremely ancient and powerful aura. This was clearly Heaven’s Celestial Army.
At this moment, an officer of the Celestial Army commanded these countless soldiers in constructing a giant altar.
Atop the altar, countless mysterious and bizarre patterns had been drawn. If Wang Chong had been present, he would have undoubtedly recognized them as the forms of the Doomsday Insignias.
This was that Doomsday Altar that Wang Chong so feared.
On a high platform next to the altar, Essence Supreme looked down at the working figures and asked, “What is the progress of the Doomsday Altar?”
The war was imminent, and Heaven had yet to appear. All affairs in the north were currently under Essence Supreme’s supervision.
A figure that was clearly a head taller than the other Celestial Army soldiers bowed his head and respectfully said, “Venerable One, it will be done in three days!”
“Mm.”
Essence Supreme nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. Looking to the south, he spoke once more.
“Have you investigated the situation of that Child of Destruction?”
This was the final war for civilization. The entire Celestial God Organization had been mobilized, as had the Celestial Army. Such a thing had happened only a few times in the history of the Celestial God Organization.
Across countless epochs, any opponent that had faced the Celestial Army had crumpled under its sword, obliterated into dust.
Across countless epochs, the Celestial Army had never lost.
And this wasn’t even considering that Heaven himself was descending with his true body.
But Essence Supreme knew that their opponent this time was the legendary Child of Prophecy, the one who would supposedly destroy the entire Celestial God Organization. Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, he had to be taken seriously.
“Venerable One, those human armies finished gathering together yesterday. They number around seven million,” that person said, telling Essence Supreme everything he knew. “From what we have learned, there is another human army that is on its way from the western world.”
The Celestial Army was formidable, but this did not mean that they only knew how to fight. The gathering of information and intelligence was also one of the skills they had needed to master.
“Hmph, seven million? No matter how many they send, it’s no different from suicide.”
Essence Supreme coldly snorted, utterly unconcerned.
Numbers meant nothing to the Celestial Army. In front of the Celestial Army, let alone seven million, even seventy million would just be cannon fodder. This fact had been proved countless times.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a mental wave rippled through the air and entered Essence Supreme’s mind.
Essence Supreme was taken aback, and then he began to loudly laugh.
“Haha, it’s finally begun! Hear my order! Gather the army and prepare for battle!”
……
……
Rumble!
A few moments later, the thundering of hooves came from the southern end of the Turkic steppe. From Essence Supreme’s location, he could see a black cloud that spanned the horizon approaching the north with an astonishing momentum.
Banners blotted out the sky while weapons glinted with cold light. As this army approached, the Turkic steppe shuddered and trembled.
A somber mood gripped the earth.
Tang!
