After the order was given, the Aster Empire's troops did not hesitate to charge. The emperor stage cultivators had already chosen their targets, and they swiftly moved toward them. The others continued their advance in battle formation toward the destroyed wall.

Aldrian also did not stay still as he helped his people fight. Since he had already created his domain here, he killed all the devils he thought were outside his people's capability to defeat.

The devils that had earlier come out from the barrier to face him and the others were now trying to escape, but Aldrian did not let them. He immobilized them and then killed them using heavenly lightning. The rumbling sound of the lightning followed as their bodies turned to ashes, and he did not stop there.

The heavenly lightning turned into strand-like shapes of dragons and targeted cultivators above middle pseudo immortal foundation. He also killed some low pseudo immortal foundation devils to ease the troops' burden, as the number of pseudo immortal foundation devils was still too overwhelming for his people.

The dragon lightning strands wreaked havoc in a directed manner, targeting only specific enemies, and it horrified many devils. The lightning moved like serpents with their own will, weaving through the battlefield and avoiding anyone who was not their target.

At this moment, Sect Master Ryu, Sect Master Kang, and the other leaders of the major territories had already reached the wall and were fighting several of the devils.

The devils also did not let themselves be killed easily. Although they were shocked and afraid of Aldrian's power, they would not let themselves fall without a fight.

Boom!

Sect Master Kang's fist collided with the fist of one of the devils. Sect Master Kang had already reached the peak emperor stage, and so had his opponent. However, it was clear that the devil was the one being pushed back. His body slid slowly, and a grimace of pain showed on his face.

Before the devil could be pushed back any further, another devil with the same cultivation level attacked Sect Master Kang. This devil used wind laws, shaping them into a blade from afar. But before the attack could reach Sect Master Kang, an invisible arrow suddenly pierced the devil's head, causing it to explode instantly and killing him on the spot.

Emperor Ladwin, using his divine-grade bow artifact, provided support from afar. He shot arrows toward the devils that tried to overwhelm them with their numbers. The number of emperor stage devils was much higher compared to their own force, after all.

He needed to make sure that no devil could endanger his comrades who were battling at the front.

Venerable Karma Seeker was also showing his brilliance. With a Buddhist chant and the giant avatar of a golden Buddha, he struck with a palm attack toward the many devils that gathered to face him.

The giant Buddhist palm strike created chaos as its powerful force was unstoppable, even when the devils used a battle formation with an avatar. The Buddhist palm destroyed the avatar created from the combined strength of ten emperor stage devils.

Venerable Karma Seeker's avatar did not stop as he sent another attack toward the devils that tried to overwhelm him with numbers. The devils continued to attack him with various techniques that constantly hit his avatar, yet his avatar was strong enough to withstand the repeated bombardment of elemental laws.

Venerable Karma Seeker then formed a mudra, and his avatar followed. A moment later, the avatar's mudra shone with a bright light before unleashing a pillar of light that destroyed everything in its path.

The light evaporated any object in front of it, especially the devils below the pseudo immortal foundation stage. The holy energy of Buddha was truly one of the devils' banes, as it was an opposing force similar to the holy energy used by the church.

As if not wanting to lose to Venerable Karma Seeker, Pope Claudius also showed his skill. With a spear in his hand, every sweep of his movements killed devils and destroyed the land for hundreds of meters. Any devils that tried to gang up on him were instantly killed by the powerful strikes of his spear.

His holy aura burst forth with such force that the devils hesitated to approach him. Not far from him was King Raymond, unleashing his lightning technique. The lightning wreaked havoc across the battlefield and destroyed many of the city's structures.

Not far from him, King Herman and King Durand were also battling, while King Douwin and Sect Master Baek created chaos from behind the enemy lines. With Aldrian protecting them from much stronger cultivators, they were unstoppable.

The other troops finally entered the city and began attacking any devils they could find. Angelica and Baek Jimin were near each other, with Angelica casting her techniques to support Baek Jimin and the nearby troops.

Aldrian, who observed all the battles from the sky while giving support, nodded. At this moment, he had already grasped another artifact from his storage ring. This time, he used the Earth Shattering Bow.

The battle's progress looked good. He was also doing another task by preventing any devils from escaping.

His gaze and senses picked up any devil that tried to move in the opposite direction from the battlefield, and he killed them by shooting wind-slashing arrows. His arrows always hit their targets even when the devils were already far away.

His gaze caught several devils flying toward the opposite direction. He pulled the bowstring with two arrows on it and—

Whoosh!

The arrows flew toward the escaping devils. As if they had consciousness, they pursued their targets and pierced them right through their heads, exploding them. The two arrows did not stop after piercing their targets and instead moved in another direction. They were now targeting other escaping devils.

Aldrian controlled the arrows with his mind and successfully killed several more before the arrows lost their power and returned to his hand. Aldrian grasped the returning arrows and instantly turned his gaze toward one direction.

In another area, behind the devils' line, there was another chaos. In this part of the battlefield, the situation looked even more brutal and chaotic compared to where Sect Master Ryu and Sect Master Baek were.

For most people who saw the scene here, they could only see devils' bodies suddenly being cleanly cut by something invisible. There was nothing to see, yet devils' bodies were suddenly sliced apart in different places.

Most of the devils had their heads decapitated, while others had their bodies split in half. The devils that tried to block whatever was striking them felt despair because they could do nothing about it. Their bodies were suddenly severed without them even seeing what had attacked them.

Even devils at the pseudo immortal foundation stage seemed to have difficulty seeing the strikes.

Aldrian, who saw it, felt amazed. With his eyes, he could clearly see the one responsible for this horror. Xin Haotian, with his light laws and speed of light, showed his brilliance. The devils were powerless against the speed of light and Xin Haotian's swordsmanship.

Not only were his strikes fast, but each sword strike contained tremendous power, instantly killing each devil with a clean cut. Xin Haotian targeted fatal parts of their bodies to make sure he killed the devils. The rate at which he killed them could be counted as ten devils per second.

He never stopped and was always on the move, which made the devils at the pseudo immortal foundation stage who tried to pursue him unable to catch him. He was too fast and too unpredictable. Only the severed bodies of devils were left in his trail, making the devils truly angry and frustrated.

This was the first time Aldrian saw Xin Haotian fight for real, and it was as expected from the genius who had already been hailed as the strongest swordsman before his appearance. Xin Haotian's way of killing was truly effective, fast, and powerful.

He then saw Xin Haotian suddenly activate his domain. The moment he activated his domain of light, a blinding light appeared for a moment before the domain disappeared. When the domain vanished and revealed what had happened inside, Aldrian raised his eyebrows.

Aldrian saw that every devil inside the domain was already dead, their bodies split in many places. More than a hundred devils died in that short moment of blinding light. Even one devil at the pseudo immortal foundation stage was killed, and another had his right arm severed.

Xin Haotian was already standing in front of the injured devil with his sword pointed at the devil's neck before he slashed and decapitated him.

Aldrian was truly impressed by what he sensed from Xin Haotian's domain. Just like any other domain, the moment Xin Haotian activated it, he became far more powerful and terrifying.

However, for someone like Xin Haotian who was already overwhelmingly powerful, his domain was a nightmare for his enemies. His speed, which was already difficult to follow, grew even faster, and within that short span, he killed all the devils inside his domain with his sword strikes.

As Aldrian continued observing Xin Haotian and the battlefield, he suddenly sensed someone launching a surprise attack from below him. A red mist quickly grabbed his feet and tried to drag him down to the ground, and at the same time he felt the blood in his legs turn chaotic.

Aldrian looked below and saw the red mist coming out from nowhere. It was as if the red mist appeared from the void of space, and from the sensation in his feet he instantly understood what had happened.

'Blood laws, this devil is trying to burst my feet,' he thought.

But then he smiled.

'Let's try my knowledge then. I've never used it before, so this is a good time to test it.'
