[You have entered the game world.]
[Countdown...]
The Li family estate.
Smoke and fire filled the air, the sounds of weapons clashing and spiritual power colliding echoing everywhere. Battle cries rang out!
In this battle of millions, every member of the Li family was charging forward. They sometimes couldn't even distinguish between friend and foe amidst the chaos, and they had to remain constantly vigilant against those around them.
Each person could only rely on their years of experience to choose where they were most needed in the battle, to select their own opponents.
They didn't even know how many casualties Green Valley Town had suffered, or if there were any enemies left.
They only knew that every stone beast had to die.
They would fight their way through the enemy lines until there was no one left!
At this very moment, all the Li family descendants were momentarily stunned. The ancestral tablets in their bosoms moved, rising into the air before their eyes.
"Ancestor, our ancestor is manifesting his power!"
Li Dalong looked at the ancestral tablet before his chest, shining with golden light!
That ancestral tablet, so dazzling on the battlefield, floated towards the very center of the fight.
And then, ancestral tablets from all directions followed.
They converged at the center of the battlefield, the ancestral tablets growing larger until a massive, translucent tablet, dozens of meters tall, materialized!
All the Li family descendants looked up.
Their eyes were filled with fervor and reverence!
Until...
The familiar black mist appeared before the ancestral tablet. A long spear, gleaming with silver light, materialized on the battlefield. The Yin-Yang Diagram expanded, enveloping the entire area!
Their ancestor, enveloped in black mist, wielded the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear, standing upon the Yin-Yang Diagram!
And then, beside their ancestor, a dragon forged entirely from steel appeared, roaring before him!
"That is..."
Li Yaozu's eyes widened in astonishment, then filled with indescribable joy. He sensed a formidable aura from the dragon beside his ancestor, a power he hadn't even felt when facing the priestess Guan Ming!
"A truly powerful puppet!"
Li Yaotie trembled all over with excitement. The War Puppet had been his lifelong dream to create, but now, this steel dragon ignited a new passion within him, as if he had found a new dream!
"Ancestor..."
Li Dalong raised the Heaven-Piercing Coffin high and shouted across the battlefield, "My children, our ancestor is here! He is fighting alongside us, defending our family with us!"
"Kill!"
"Kill all these damned invaders!"
"May our ancestor's spirit bless us!"
At this moment, all the Li family descendants were filled with a frenzied energy. The last time their ancestor appeared at the Skyveil Sect, they were powerless, mere spectators.
But now...
They possessed enough power to stand beside their ancestor, to fight and kill!
...
The battle cries of his descendants echoed in his ears.
Li Wei's gaze focused on the distance.
That was where the priestess Guan Ming was located. Xuan Tianzi, enveloped in black mist, and the stone spikes she commanded with ease were fiercely battling her.
A translucent screen appeared before his eyes.
[You have deployed the Intermediate War Puppet, the Azure Dragon!]
[The Azure Dragon has been activated. Please issue the initial command to the Azure Dragon!]
The steel dragon beside Li Wei had cloudy eyes.
"A command?"
As the Azure Dragon roared, Li Wei recalled that this was the "gift from an elder" he had received after leaving his home and re-establishing a friendly relationship with Grandma Ling!
This was also one of the reasons he had ventured out last time.
An Intermediate War Puppet personally crafted by Grandma Ling!
Li Wei shifted his gaze to the totems controlled by several chieftains. They were performing a strange Wu Clan ritual, utilizing powerful shamanic spells. Li Wei could sense that the activation of these spells would definitely endanger the Li family.
"Heaven and Earth, Human!"
The Yin-Yang Diagram activated instantly. The chieftains stared in terror at the diagram enveloping them.
The figure in black mist appeared before them, and with a single thrust of the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear, he impaled two Golden Core chieftains!
Li Wei's hoarse voice resonated through the heavens and earth.
"From this day forward," he declared, "this is where we make our stand. No matter who the enemy is, before the Li family, they shall be annihilated!"
"Roar!"
The Azure Dragon roared, its eyes lighting up. It opened its jaws, revealing sharp teeth, and with a single bite, crushed the totem.
[You have issued the first command: Protect the Li family!]
His voice and the dragon's roar resonated clearly across the battlefield!
The Li family descendants felt their resolve strengthen.
They joined Li Wei in his battle cry, fighting even more valiantly!
In an instant, the Yin-Yang Diagram activated again, and Li Wei appeared atop a hundred-meter-tall stone beast.
The North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear pierced down from the stone beast's skull, and his black mist surged toward the sky!
"Five Elements of Heaven and Earth!"
The power of the Five Elements descended from the sky, infusing the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear and causing the hundred-meter-tall stone beast to shatter inch by inch.
"All enemies of the Li family shall perish!" Li Wei declared. "We fear no distance, no matter how far. Even the ends of the earth are within our reach!"
The Azure Dragon's massive eyes grew even brighter.
It gazed at the priestess Guan Ming!
[Second command: Fight for the Li family, eliminate all enemies.]
All the Li family descendants were watching their ancestor.
They gazed at the Azure Dragon.
They were the most dazzling presence on the battlefield.
At this moment, their ancestor, with the steel dragon by his side, practically tore through the entire battlefield, appearing wherever the Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe had their strongest forces.
Wu Clan totems, stone beasts on the verge of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, Wu Clan shamanic formations...
The ancestor's time on the battlefield was limited.
But he had practically eliminated all the Wu Clan's trump cards for the family.
On this day, everyone witnessed the terrifying power of that being within the Li family. They realized that the truly formidable madman of the Li family had always been hidden in the shadows.
He was a god of war shrouded in black mist, appearing and disappearing without a trace.
Until he vanished, leaving behind only the roaring dragon.
"We obey the ancestor's command!"
"Annihilate all enemies! Kill!"
"Our ancestor's divine might is invincible!"
