Chapter 6047

Low thunder rolled across the valley as wave after wave of celestials advanced toward Skyfiend Gorge.

From the shadowed ridgelines, their bronze shields caught stray light, turning the entire army into a single, rising black tide.

Overhead, more than a hundred celestial skysloops swept into formation, locking together like slabs of dark iron. Their keels flared to life, linking bow to stern until the last strip of open sky behind Jared disappeared.

On the battered plain below, tens of thousands of celestial guards and conscripted beast soldiers tightened their ranks.

Their square formations moved forward one deliberate step at a time, spears lowering into a forest of steel that never stopped creeping closer.

At the front, the Beast-Quelling Venerable hovered above the dust.

Gold armor encased him from throat to heel, each plate humming with the steady resonance of a Top Level High Immortal Realm Level Seven aura.
