Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess Chapter 3619: Every Man for Himself, Heaven and Earth Destroy Him!

Swiftly, time continued its passage.

In merely the span of four days, the calendar had turned.

Four days hence, as midnight cast its shroud.

The Jiuzhou Immortal Domain itself.

Within the Nanli Huo State.

Resided the Yuhua Immortal Country.

Its heart, the Imperial City, known as Emperor Yan City.

The city pulsed with vibrant light, a ceaseless flow of inhabitants filling its streets.

Many esteemed elders were observed, either descending from the heavens, soaring on swords, steering wondrous artifacts, or astride formidable mutated beasts, arriving and departing.

A multitude of guards from the Yuhua Immortal Country maintained their posts at the city's entrances, with some undertaking patrol duties.

A small cluster of these guards engaged in conversation.

"Brother Zhao, of late, prominent factions such as the Golden Crow Sacred Land, the Li Fire Divine Sect, the Wandao Immortal Sect, the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, and the Hell Divine Dynasty have been remarkably active. One can only wonder what schemes they are concocting!"

"Our Emperor and the elders have issued stern directives, emphasizing that the frequent movements of these factions undoubtedly signal malicious intent. We must maintain a state of heightened vigilance against them!"

"It has been nearly three months, and yet there remains no indication of Yang Immortal Venerable's reappearance. We are unaware if he has emerged from his period of mourning, and consequently, when he might grace us with his return!"

"Yang Immortal Venerable embodies nobility and righteousness; no harm must befall him!"

Precisely as these guards were deep in their discussion.

Suddenly.

Boom!

A startling explosive roar erupted from the sky, some ten miles beyond the confines of Emperor Yan City!

"What was that sound?!"

The guards stationed at the city walls and gates were instantly thrown into a state of alarm, their gazes swiftly drawn towards the sky miles away.

Even a significant number of individuals within the city, alongside those entering and exiting the formidable Emperor Yan City, were startled, turning their heads to observe the distant celestial expanse.

In the distance, the sky violently ruptured, giving way to a colossal void fissure!

The very next second!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

An innumerable volley of fiery arrows unleashed their ferocity from the void cave, leaving trails of incandescent light as they streaked through the heavens, akin to a torrential downpour of projectiles!

"What is this?!"

"Arrows... they are indeed arrows!"

"Take cover! Take cover!"

"Could an assault be underway against our Yuhua Immortal Country?!"

The guards cried out in sheer astonishment, hastily evading the onslaught and activating defensive measures to intercept.

"Evade swiftly!"

"Defend! Initiate defenses without delay!"

Those traversing the city's entry points, and indeed everyone within Emperor Yan City, were seized by panic and shouted frantically, scrambling to avoid the deadly rain.

However, due to the abruptness of the assault!

A great many were unable to react in time, perishing instantly from direct hits, their forms igniting into flames!

Blood sprayed forth, flames consumed, creating a scene of unimaginable horror!

"Ahhh..."

Anguished cries echoed through the night air!

Some met their end outright, while others were tragically consumed by fire while still alive!

"Enemy assault! Enemy assault!"

"Dispatch word immediately!"

"Activate the City Protection Array!"

The surviving guards bellowed with righteous fury, their hearts filled with indignation!

Some produced jade talismans, initiating the activation sequence for the City Protection Array.

Others dispatched signals, alerting the armored legions stationed both within and beyond the city's perimeter!

As the City Protection Array was brought online!

Clang, clang, clang!...

Boom, boom, boom!...

Successive layers of immense light shields enveloped the interior of Emperor Yan City, repelling the relentless barrage of arrows like surging waves, igniting a symphony of explosive impacts!

Beacons shot upwards, piercing the firmament, illuminating the nocturnal sky!

"Merciful heavens, what calamity is unfolding? Why are such a multitude of fiery arrows suddenly raining down?!"

"Could someone possibly harbor the audacity to assail the Yuhua Immortal Country?!"

"Who possesses such unparalleled boldness?!"

The populace within the city cried out in sheer terror, utterly bewildered by the unfolding crisis!

Numerous more potent cultivators, sensing the grave disturbance, ascended into the sky and took flight!

Following the ceaseless onslaught of fiery arrows!

A colossal beam of energy erupted from the void fissure!

Hundreds of ancient vessels, each stretching a thousand meters in length, accompanied by thousands of formidable war chariots, streamed forth from the gaping void!

These ancient ships and war chariots teemed with individuals, numbering well over three hundred thousand!

A multitude of fearsome mutated beasts stood poised upon the ancient vessels, circling menacingly in the air, emitting thunderous roars!

Immense banners fluttered majestically in the wind!

Prominently displayed amongst them, a particular banner bore intricate flame totems, signifying its allegiance to the Li Fire Divine Sect!

"The Divine Master of Li Fire," Yan Jingyun, alongside the Grand Elder, stood at the vanguard of one such ancient vessel!

"It is members of the Li Fire Divine Sect!"

"And their allied forces have also arrived!"

"Damn it! Why has the Li Fire Divine Sect launched a sudden assault upon our Yuhua Immortal Country?!"

The guards stammered in disbelief, utterly stunned by the revelation.

At that precise moment.

The armored contingents stationed in the vicinity of Emperor Yan City arrived, borne by ancient vessels and war chariots, advancing with imposing grandeur.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand... ultimately reaching tens of thousands of armored soldiers.

"Who dares to launch an attack upon my Yuhua Immortal Country!"

"Do you court death?!"

Subsequently, powerful pronouncements boomed from the direction of the Imperial Palace.

A vast retinue of figures streaked through the air with incredible speed.

Emperor Yuhua arrived, accompanied by Elder Zi Xu, Jian Yanjin, and their entourage.

Upon reaching the city gates, Jian Jingheng and his companions witnessed the imposing sight of thirty thousand troops assembled by the Li Fire Divine Sect and its allied forces.

Jian Jingheng's expression darkened considerably, and he angrily demanded, "Yan Jingyun, our Yuhua Immortal Country and your Li Fire Divine Sect have always maintained a policy of non-interference! What is the reason for this sudden assault on our Yuhua Immortal Country? What are your intentions?!"

Yan Jingyun, with his hands clasped behind his back, stated in a booming voice, "Jian Jingheng, this time, we, the various major forces, are initiating a great purge across the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain! The existing structure of the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain is on the brink of collapse, and weaker factions will inevitably be eradicated during this sweeping reform. Our Li Fire Divine Sect and our allies, however, will emerge stronger and more prosperous from this upheaval. If your Yuhua Immortal Country is wise enough to recognize the tides of change, you will join us, thereby securing a brilliant new future for your nation! Should you choose to resist, annihilation will be your inescapable fate!"

"You scoundrel!"

Elder Zi Xu roared with indignation, his voice laced with cold fury. "No wonder your Li Fire Divine Sect has recently been seen in the company of the Golden Crow Sacred Land; this has been your scheme all along! Have you finally grown impatient and decided to seize complete control over the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain?"

"Precisely!" Yan Jingyun readily admitted. "The Jiuzhou Immortal Domain is currently plagued by an incomplete Great Dao, deficient universal laws, and a severe depletion of spiritual energy! Furthermore, with the constant increase in cultivators, cultivation resources are becoming increasingly scarce! Naturally, we must consider our own futures! As the saying goes, if one does not look out for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them. Elder Zi Xu, do you not comprehend this fundamental principle?"

"What a convenient interpretation of 'if one does not look out for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them'!" Jian Yanjin stepped forward, his voice trembling with anger. "You initiate wars for your own selfish ambitions, bringing about untold destruction and rivers of blood! Are you not concerned about the karmic retribution that awaits?"

Yan Jingyun let out a cold laugh. "There is no point in spouting such meaningless words! Now that our army has arrived, you are presented with two options: either join our ranks and fight alongside us, or face utter annihilation!"

"Forcing us to join you is absolutely impossible!" Elder Zi Xu declared with unwavering resolve. "Our ancestors, including Flame Emperor, fought and sacrificed their lives to protect the myriad realms and safeguard billions of lives! It is precisely due to the valiant efforts of our predecessors and others that the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain enjoys its current state of peace and stability! As descendants of these venerated ancestors, we would never permit the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain to descend into chaos or allow countless lives to suffer for individual greed!"

"Oh?" Yan Jingyun's eyes narrowed into a smile. "So, you are determined to oppose us then?"
