"Attack."
A war general, whose appearance resembled that of a dried corpse or an undead wraith, swung his blade and issued a terse command.
An overwhelming tide of undead surged forward in unison. This was none other than General Deathblade, one of the Obsidian Five Generals under Thanos. He was born with a natural talent for commanding the undead and led an elite undead army within the Infinite Empire, completely under his control.
The most terrifying trait of the undead — they feared no death.
At the same time, the other Obsidian Five Generals also advanced with their armies.
Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, Black Dwarf, and Supergiant surged forward together.
Each of these five generals possessed fearsome True Spirit Realm combat strength and were seemingly just a step away from the Dao Platform Realm, capable of breaking through at any moment.
Behind them followed a massive army of giants.
Each giant towered thousands of meters tall. Standing on the battlefield, their very presence exuded an indescribable pressure. The weapons they wielded were colossal — enormous iron hammers, terrifying battle axes, thick iron chains, and massive spears. Every piece was overwhelming in scale, sending shockwaves of intimidation just by sight.
The aura they radiated caused the very air to tremble violently.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even the waves beneath their feet exploded upward, crashing in towering sprays. The force imprisoning the sea could not completely offset the giants' momentum. Their charge surged like a catastrophic tsunami or mountain collapse. Even the hardened soldiers of the Iron-Blood Great Wall turned pale, a suffocating pressure crushing their minds.
"The hell with them — giants or not, if they dare come, we dare kill!Ballistae, aim at those giants! Fire with everything you've got!"
"Sharpshooters, take out the giants! If they get close to the walls, the threat is too massive. We cannot allow it!"
A barrage of heavy ballista bolts was unleashed, streaking through the air toward the charging giants. The destructive force of these siege weapons was terrifying — especially when infused with true essence and magical power. Snipers wielding rune-infused sniper rifles aimed at the giants' weak spots: some targeted the heart, others the eyes, or the throat — wherever the flesh was softest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shots rang out.
Whiz!
Sniper rounds cut through the sky.
Splurt!
One bullet pierced directly into a giant's eye, bursting the eyeball in a bloody explosion. But it wasn't enough to kill — only to provoke a horrific howl of rage. Blood gushed from the gaping eye socket.
Ballista bolts hit the heart — but only punctured the surface skin, failing to penetrate the chest cavity.
These giants had terrifyingly strong physiques and nearly impenetrable defenses. Normal attacks barely scratched their skin. Bronze Giants and Silver Giants had bodies as tough as divine metal — practically invulnerable.
These giants had no intention of climbing the Dragonbone Sky Ladder. They charged directly toward the Iron-Blood Great Wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, the giants swung their colossal weapons — like splitting heaven and earth — smashing into the Iron-Blood Barrier.
The entire barrier trembled violently.
"Use the Yin-Yang Annihilation Bombs! Blast them to death!"
Bombs were hurled from the wall. Upon impact, they exploded with devastating Yin-Yang annihilation energy, engulfing entire groups of giants. Though divine runes and radiant light flashed over the giants' bodies in an attempt to resist, thousands of simultaneous explosions proved too much. One after another, giants failed to endure, their bodies shredded apart by the destructive force.
Then—
A thunderous voice resounded:
"I do not kill for slaughter's sake, but for the future of the Eternal World.The strong shall live, the weak shall die.The weak are unworthy of survival.I grant death to the weak and glory to the strong.
My will is Heaven's will.
My fate is the Heavenly Mandate.
Obey Heaven — I am its justice.
Judgment!!"
In that moment, Thanos raised his Tyrant SlayerBlade and slashed downward toward the Iron-Blood Great Wall.
Tyrant's Blade of Destiny – Judgment!!
"My will is Heaven's will. My fate is the Heavenly Mandate.I am Heaven's judgment."
A terrifying blade intent surged violently from the Tyrant Slayer Blade, as if the very will of judgment resided within. This blade embodied the heavens' authority — the righteous force of the cosmos.
With the Infinity Gauntlet amplifying it, the blade expanded to tens of thousands of meters in size. It slashed downward like the splitting of the heavens. The chilling edge glinted with endless cold light. In that instant, the battlefield fell silent — only the Tyrant's Blade remained.
On the Iron-Blood Great Wall, countless Da Yi soldiers could only see that one descending blade. In its presence, it felt like divine retribution — the verdict of heaven itself.
There was no resisting.
No evading.
No surviving.
In the face of Heaven's Judgment, one could only await death.
"This is bad. Thanos is too terrifying. This strike... we'll die, truly die!"
"What do we do? Dying isn't scary — dying for nothing is. Dying like this... it's not worth it."
"The Iron-Blood Great Wall might not withstand this blow. The barrier is already weakened to its limit. What now? Is Da Yi's greatest wall about to fall?!"
A storm of thoughts surged through the minds of the soldiers.
They weren't afraid of dying.They were afraid the wall would fall — the consequences would be catastrophic.
At that instant—
A brilliant Martial Dao True Intent appeared in the heavens, forming into a radiant golden pocket watch.
Its hour, minute, and second hands all froze instantly.
Heaven Emperor's Creation Hand — Time Pocket Watch!!
The entire battlefield's time ground to a halt. The Tyrant Blade's descent slowed dramatically, from lightning speed to a tortoise crawl. It still moved forward — but agonizingly slow.
Then—
A silver-white portal appeared beside the watch — a celestial gate hanging in the sky.
Heaven Emperor's Creation Hand — Spatial Gate!!
Time and space merged. Their combined power greatly enhanced the slowing effect. Time froze, space congealed, and together they further obstructed the Tyrant Blade's descent.
"Impressive divine technique... but this alone cannot stop me.My will is Heaven's will!
With the Infinity Gauntlet, space and time bend to me!!"
A cold glint flashed in Thanos's eyes. He roared mightily.
The Time Stone and Space Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet glowed brilliantly.
The frozen time-space shattered instantly.
Even those divine techniques could not hold him.
The Tyrant Blade surged once again, slashing down toward the Iron-Blood Barrier.
That strike was meant to shatter the entire wall.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation!!"
A calm voice echoed through the void.
A moment later, a colossal Six Paths Reincarnation Disk appeared out of thin air.
Heaven Emperor's Creation Hand — Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.
Hongmeng Heaven Emperor Tower — Heaven Artifact: Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.
The martial true intent merged with the divine artifact. The disk spun, invoking reincarnation across the cosmos. Within it, one could see the myriad races and boundless life forms of all realms.
Its divine power could shake the heavens.
The Tyrant Blade and Reincarnation Disk collided.
BOOM!!!
A deafening roar filled the sky. Two terrifying forces clashed. The surrounding void collapsed, space twisting and tearing apart — a vision of apocalyptic destruction.
Judgment blade intent and reincarnation force tangled violently. The disk spun, each rotation dissolving more of the blade's will. Everything — all powers — fell into the six cycles of rebirth.
No one knew how long it lasted.
Perhaps a thousand years, perhaps a mere second.
Time itself lost meaning.
At last — the Tyrant Blade was repelled.The Reincarnation Disk soared into the sky — then vanished.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!
Suddenly, dragon roars echoed as a massive war chariot appeared.
Drawn by Ancient Nine Dragons, it radiated supreme might.
A figure stood calmly atop it, clad in a Chaos Dragon Battle Robe.A sovereign aura of unmatched imperial majesty surged around him — far above even emperors like Fire Emperor or Gold Emperor. Compared to him, they were mere candles beside the full moon.
His superiority was absolute.
"Holy King of Da Yi — Yi Tianxing!!"
The Dragon Emperor and others paled.
They instantly recognized the newcomer.
Indeed — it was Yi Tianxing.
He had witnessed Thanos unleash his blade. Even the Iron-Blood Great Wall couldn't withstand it. How could he just watch it fall?
Now that he had arrived — how could he not face these supreme rulers of Destiny Empires in person?
