Dark clouds bore down upon the city, threatening to crush it, fifty massive Treasure Ships like a gathering storm.

The robust sound of drums echoed between Heaven and Earth, as the attack from the Heavenly Court began.

The Treasure Ships spanned the sky, their dark muzzles aimed at the ground, a bitter chill of murderous intent reverberated between Heaven and Earth.

The Heavenly Court was about to launch its assault.

Countless Heavenly soldiers followed in the wake of the Treasure Ships, moving toward the Demon Clan’s position like a tsunami.

Just one glance at this scene could plunge one into despair, but the soldiers of the Demon Clan still stood tall; their faces showed tension and excitement but not a trace of fear.

They gripped their weapons tightly, and even as they faced the Heavenly Army’s onslaught, like a tsunami, their fighting spirit remained high.

This was an army tempered in war and blood, with wills unbreakable by anything.

The Treasure Ships were fast, and in a blink, they had arrived above the Demon Clan’s position. The dark muzzles began to shine, and soon a terrifying volley was about to rain down upon the Demon Clan’s ground.

However, just then, a violent tremor suddenly erupted between Heaven and Earth, followed by the sight of countless Treasure Ships rising from the earth, surrounding the Heavenly Court’s vessels completely.

"Where did these Treasure Ships come from!" someone yelled in disbelief.

But soon they saw the Demon Clan’s flags fluttering atop these newly appeared Treasure Ships, disbelief evident on their faces.

Someone roughly counted, and there were seventy of these Treasure Ships, twenty more than the Heavenly Court’s fleet.

"It’s impossible!" many murmured to themselves.

This challenged their comprehension; how could the Demon Clan with their heritage and resources have built so many Treasure Ships in such a short time?

They knew that even the artisans of the Heavenly Forge Bureau had labored day and night to produce the fifty vessels of the Heavenly Court.

The number of treasures possessed by the Demon Clan far exceeded that of the Heavenly Court; how did they manage it?

Yet, the reality was thus, leaving no room for their doubts.

The Demon Clan’s Treasure Ships had already initiated their attack, with artillery fire lighting up the sky, the Heavenly Court’s ships trapped in the encirclement.

"Don’t panic, fire!" the leading Heavenly General quickly organized a counterattack, and both sides engaged in an unprecedented aerial battle above Luzhou in the North.

The roaring of artillery shook the heavens, and the clash of the Treasure Ships could be felt even a thousand miles away.

In the Demon Capital, the residents were drawn by the commotion, all gazing in this direction, knowing that the war to decide their fate had started.

Countless Monsters prayed silently; too weak to help on the front line, they resorted to this simple method in hopes of aiding the Demon Clan.

The more knowledgeable Monsters murmured to themselves, "That must be the sound of the Treasure Ships’ artillery exchange. I wonder how the front line will manage to respond."

Although many believed they still had plans in reserve, no one knew what measures could be taken to contend with the Heavenly Army that had occupied the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range.

"Now, we can only trust that the lords of the Imperial Court have means to cope," someone sighed.

Waiting was torturous, especially when it felt like failure was imminent. A mix of fear and tension inevitably plagued the heart, coupled with the hope that a miracle might occur. The expressions on the faces of every Monster were quite amusing.

Upon hearing this commotion, Feng Jiu couldn’t help but smile and say, "It seems that the front lines have engaged in battle. I hope the Heavenly Court will appreciate the grand gift we’ve sent them."

The Demon Master also smiled as he stroked his beard, "This battle will likely eradicate the Heavenly Court’s ambition to annihilate the Demon Clan once and for all."

They knew far more than the average person and had a clearer grasp on the major trends of Heaven and Earth.

This was a catastrophe for the Demon Clan. If they survived, a clear path lay ahead, and no one could stop their rise. If they failed, they would sink into oblivion for eternity, never to rise again.

Of course, this was also a catastrophe for the Heavenly Court. Should they fail, external threats and internal strife would erupt concurrently, making its days difficult henceforth.

"It’s just a pity that we are not strong enough. Even if we win, we likely won’t be able to counterattack the Heavenly Court. This war has consumed all the resources we’ve painstakingly accumulated," Feng Jiu said with a sigh.

She really wanted to ascend to the Lingxiao Treasured Palace to see what the Jade Emperor’s face would look like.

But, being the Demon Emperor now, she naturally understood the weight of responsibility on her shoulders - she could not act rashly. The Demon Clan couldn’t afford any more turmoil; it was time to seize this rare opportunity for development.

"A momentary victory is not what we seek. With the Demon Realm as our foundation and enough time, our Demon Clan will stand unshaken in the Three Realms, watching the decline of the Heavenly Court. Your Majesty will eventually witness the scene you wish to see," the Demon Master said with a reassuring smile.

Feng Jiu nodded slightly, knowing the Demon Master was right. Now, the clouds had parted to reveal a clear moon. Hereafter, fate would be on the side of the Demon Clan.

"I am now very curious about the Jade Emperor’s expression upon hearing this news," Feng Jiu said with a bit of schadenfreude.

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed heartily. Opportunities to see the Supreme of the Three Realms in disarray were indeed rare.

Meanwhile, on the front-line battlefield, the fight had reached a fever pitch.

The Heavenly soldiers operating the Treasure Ships were surprised to find that these members of the Demon Clan were extremely proficient at maneuvering the Treasure Ships, no less skilled than those who trained regularly. Furthermore, the opponent’s Treasure Ships seemed to be smaller and more agile.

Of course, there was still a gap in material quality compared to the Heavenly Court’s Treasure Ships.

Realizing this, the Heavenly Generals were ecstatic and immediately ordered their own Treasure Ships to move in, relying on the sturdier nature of the Heavenly Court Treasure Ships to ram the Demon Clan’s ships repeatedly, managing to stabilize the precarious situation.

The Great Saint who moves mountains keenly sensed the changes on the battlefield and said with a hint of admiration, "The Heavenly Court indeed has talent. They’ve so quickly discovered the shortcomings of our Treasure Ships."

The Wind-sage Great Saint chuckled beside him, "Can’t help it. Our materials can’t match the Heavenly Court’s. It’s only through the manufacturing lines suggested by Mr. Lin that we have an advantage in numbers."

"Haha, that’s true. Mr. Lin’s method is indeed powerful, solving such a big problem in such a short time. I reckon the people of the Heavenly Court are still confused and have no idea where we got so many Treasure Ships from," the Great Saint exclaimed.

At this moment, the Commander of the Heavenly Court, Ziwei Star Lord, watched the scene unfold in the sky with a troubled look. The Treasure Ships bearing the flag of the Demon Clan covered the sky densely, inducing terror in any observer. Even at this point, it was hard for him to believe, almost suspecting that the Demon Clan had employed some Illusion Technique.

What was previously thought to be an absolute advantage had vanished without a trace. Ziwei Star Lord naturally understood that with so many Treasure Ships at the disposal of the Demon Clan, everything had changed.
