Chapter 21: Clash of Two Worlds

The Desolate Era · 第二十一章 两大世界的碰撞

In the Domain of Extinction, millions of horned warriors fled in terror and despair.

“That enemy with the collar—wherever his gaze falls, warriors die. It's too terrifying.”

“The general was killed in one move.”

They were utterly broken.

In an instant, over six hundred of the eight hundred commanders of the First Army were slain, and the general was killed. The horned warriors could no longer form a large battle formation, and thus lost all will to resist. Only panic and fear remained as they frantically fled in all directions.

But at that moment, the same voice echoed in the heart of every warrior—a voice from the depths of their bloodline, their origin.

“Mother Queen Possession!”

“Mother Queen Possession!”

“Mother Queen Possession!”

The voice reverberated continuously. The million fleeing horned warriors all stopped at once. The voice that arose in their hearts had been latent within them since the day they were born! Every warrior of the Broken Horn World… from the moment of their conception and birth, was prepared to welcome ‘Mother Queen Possession.’ Or rather, the ultimate purpose of their creation was to welcome Mother Queen Possession. This was also the most terrifying weapon of the Broken Horn World in external wars.

“Mother Queen.” The million horned warriors all raised their heads. Their brows split open, and a green light shot up from each brow into the sky.

A million beams of light soared into the void.

In an instant, a vast expanse of the endless void turned into a region of green light.

“What’s happening?”

The seven Celestial Immortals stared in shock at this scene.

“This…” Ji Ning sensed something was wrong. The million horned warriors, who had been fleeing in panic, had stopped. What were they about to do?

The murmurs of the million horned warriors arose everywhere. At the same time, their bodies began to dissolve under the green light, becoming, as it were, nourishment for the ‘green light.’ In an instant, the green light blazed even brighter.

In that single moment,

the million horned warriors vanished completely. In the void, only the endless green light remained, within which faint murmurs echoed—the murmurs of the horned warriors.

“Mother Queen.” “Mother Queen.” “Mother Queen.” …

This was their most glorious moment.

Their murmurs were filled with pride and worship. They were willing to give everything for the Mother Queen. And by welcoming Mother Queen Possession, they truly died.

“Whoosh~~~” The vast green light in the void automatically split into three parts. These three enormous masses of green light rapidly condensed into three giant warriors. They had emerald-green armor and the same blood-red horns, their appearance very close to that of ordinary horned warriors. But their bodies were as towering as mountain ranges, and their aura was utterly different—a chaotic yet狂暴 aura.

As the three giant warriors took shape, the seven Celestial Immortals sensed trouble.

“Attack! Join forces to kill the nearest one.” Red Snow Celestial Immortal gave the order.

“Alright.”

“Go.”

The million horned warriors had been scattered over a vast area, and during their flight they had spread even farther apart. Thus, the three condensed giant horned warriors were nearly a million li apart from each other, leaving time to destroy them one by one.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Seven streaks of light shot toward the nearest giant warrior.

“Gods and demons of the Three Realms, you seven Celestial Immortals dare to challenge me?” The giant warrior let out a booming laugh that shook the void. This was the First Mother Queen’s possession, essentially a clone of the First Mother Queen! The cost of forming such a clone was immense—one clone sacrificed hundreds of thousands of horned warriors, and it could only be used for a short time. The Mother Queen rarely resorted to this.

While the cost was high, the combat power was also astonishing.

“Die.” The First Mother Queen’s clone raised its four arms high, like four pillars of heaven, and smashed them directly toward the seven Celestial Immortals.

“Caw~~~”

A piercing sound instantly assaulted the First Mother Queen. The bald old man among the seven Celestial Immortals transformed into a soaring black crow. The crow emitted a screeching cry, causing the First Mother Queen’s clone to slow its movements.

“Go.” The child also roared in anger and swung the collar in his hand. The collar transformed into a beam of golden light, rapidly expanding until it was over ten thousand zhang thick, and shot directly toward the First Mother Queen’s clone, intending to bind it.

The battle erupted in an instant.

Ji Ning only saw the enormous black crow and the collar thrown by the child, followed by an endless flood of water and fire. The water and fire were no less than ‘Sun True Fire’ and ‘Moon True Water’; they intertwined and enveloped the First Mother Queen, completely blocking Ji Ning’s view. He could no longer see the battle scene.

“So powerful.”

“Is this the power of a Celestial Immortal?” Ji Ning watched, utterly awestruck.

The void trembled.

The seven Celestial Immortals and the First Mother Queen’s clone fought savagely. Although Ji Ning couldn’t see clearly, the surging power alone was enough to kill any Celestial Immortal.

“Seven Luminaries Celestial Immortal Formation!” A furious roar rang out. Ji Ning recognized it as Senior Red Snow’s voice.

“Form the formation.”

“Kill.”

Voices—some hoarse, some cold, some crisp—simultaneously shouted the word ‘kill.’

Woooom~~~~

Suddenly a dazzling light appeared in the distant void where the battle raged. The light pierced through that void in an instant, then gradually dimmed. The water and fire that had been there completely vanished, and Ji Ning could now see the battlefield clearly.

In the distance were two colossal figures.

One was a Mother Queen clone, tens of thousands of zhang tall, covered in emerald green scales, savage and brutal.

The other was equally tall, clad in a seven-colored divine armor, wielding a spear longer than his own body. His build and face closely resembled those of Red Snow Celestial.

"Seven Radiance Celestial?" Ji Ning nodded as he watched.

The Seven Radiance Celestial formation was an ancient divine demon formation. It required seven Celestials to work together, merging their divine power into one, with one Celestial as the core to form a 'Seven Radiance Celestial.' This spear-wielding Seven Radiance Celestial bore a striking resemblance to Red Snow Celestial, indicating that Red Snow was the core, controlling everything.

"You managed to wound me?" The first Mother Queen clone had a large hole in its chest, pierced by the spear earlier. It laughed loudly, "But this is a clone formed from countless of my children. It's useless; I have no weaknesses." Its chest instantly healed completely.

"Sister, it seems we need to help."

"These divine demons of the Three Realms are not to be trifled with."

The other two Mother Queen clones were also rapidly approaching.

"Boom boom boom~~~" The Seven Radiance Celestial and the first Mother Queen clone fought fiercely. Though the first Mother Queen was wounded, it was unaffected. The other two Mother Queen clones arrived, and the three Mother Queen clones now besieged the Seven Radiance Celestial.

"Red Hair, what should we do? These three we're fighting are just clones, yet they're this strong. Their true bodies are probably at the Dao Ancestor level."

"Even with the seven of us combined into the Seven Radiance Celestial, we can't kill their three clones, let alone gain the upper hand."

"This is trouble."

"We've never encountered opponents like this."

The seven Celestials felt uneasy. They had no experience with such foes. Though such opponents existed in the great calamity of the past, they had been arranged by San Shou Dao Ren and thus never participated in that calamity, so they lacked experience.

The three Mother Queen clones besieged the Seven Radiance Celestial. The Seven Radiance Celestial wielded a spear with profound techniques. As it fought, countless white snowflakes appeared in the surrounding void, and time began to distort. In the distorted time, the Seven Radiance Celestial's spear became even more fearsome, completely blocking the three Mother Queen clones.

"Where did this guy come from?"

"Just Celestials, even if seven joined, the three of us together can't kill him."

"We need to summon more warriors."

"Have the Border Army's Second Army come as well."

The three Mother Queens grew anxious.

Though their three clones held the upper hand, the gap in strength was small, and the opponent's spear defense was too formidable. They suppressed him but couldn't wound the Seven Radiance Celestial. In fact, the first Mother Queen clone had suffered many wounds at the start.

"We can't kill them."

"This is probably not the full strength of the Broken Horn World. We must not linger. We have to break through the sealing formation and leave quickly."

After fighting for a while, the seven Celestials made their decision.

The Seven Radiance Celestial in seven-colored armor guided his spear, striking a Mother Queen clone's chest, causing it to stagger back hundreds of li.

Swoosh.

The Seven Radiance Celestial tried to fly away.

"Flee?" A Mother Queen clone stretched out its four hands, transforming into endless green light. The green light was formless, instantly enveloping the Seven Radiance Celestial, making it difficult for him to move.

"Haha, seven Celestials, you've come to my Broken Horn World. If I let you escape like this, how could I, Wu Sile, still have face in the Ancient Ruins?" The first Mother Queen clone, now binding the Seven Radiance Celestial, laughed.

The other two Mother Queen clones came to attack.

"Hmph."

The Seven Radiance Celestial danced his spear. Though entangled by the green light, it only slowed him down; he could still resist.

"Red Hair, these three old fellows of the Broken Horn World are clearly stalling. They're surely mobilizing more forces to deal with us."

"We can't delay."

"We have to leave now."

Not only the seven Celestials, but even Ji Ning in the distance could see that the three Mother Queen clones were deliberately stalling. Knowing this, there was nothing they could do. The Seven Radiance Celestial could defend himself but couldn't escape. Ji Ning couldn't intervene in a battle of this level.

"Senior Big Bear, where did these seven seniors come from? They're in danger now. Is there any way to save them?" Ji Ning asked anxiously. His second avatar was questioning the Yellow-haired Big Bear, who sighed—what could be done?

Just as the Seven Radiance Celestial fought the three Mother Queen clones, and Ji Ning grew anxious—

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

A gray-white vortex suddenly appeared in the distant void. Ji Ning couldn't help but turn to look. The battling Seven Radiance Celestial and three Mother Queen clones also noticed the vortex.

A figure stepped out of the gray-white vortex.

A gaunt old man in a loose Daoist robe, with white hair and beard.

"Master!" Ji Ning's eyes widened.
