Lin Lei's gaze swept over the Destruction Sovereign and the Fate Sovereign.
"To surpass them, even if my four Laws are fused to perfection, I'd only be on par with them at best. Unless I refine another Fire-element lower Sovereign spark." Lin Lei transmitted via divine sense.
Beirute and Qing Huo both nodded slightly.
"Tomorrow will be the final battle. Let's just wait here for now," Beirute said with a smile.
Seventy-one Sovereigns chatted casually atop the mountain peak. Meanwhile, the commanders of both the Heavens and the Inferno were making preparations for the impending decisive battle. This battle would go down as the one with the fewest commander-level figures in the Planar Battlefield over the past several trillion years.
In the past, the highlight of Planar Wars was the commander-level figures slaughtering each other before the decisive confrontation.
But this time, those long-established commander-level figures, as well as the Perfections, had almost all stayed away.
On the entire Planar Battlefield, the commanders and Sovereign's Emissaries combined numbered no more than thirty. Most of them had only recently become Sovereign's Emissaries, such as the six under Lin Lei's command. As for Perfection-level experts, there wasn't a single one.
Perfection-level experts had a high chance of survival.
But if a lone Perfection showed up, the enemy would likely concentrate most of their forces against that one Perfection. No treasure was worth a Perfection-level expert staking their life.
The Death Sovereign and the other three Law Sovereigns stood shoulder to shoulder atop the peak, gazing at the battlefield tens of thousands of miles away.
"Rumble~~~"
Without warning, at the Star River of the Planar Battlefield, boundless power surged and converged, with energy waves rippling outward in all directions. The encampments on both banks of the Star River were reduced to powder almost instantly. Every warrior participating in the battle was at least a Highgod, so they could all easily withstand the energy waves.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Dreamlike, gorgeous seven-colored lights shot up into the sky.
There were two passages over the Star River. At this moment, both passages emitted dazzling seven-colored light.
"Kill!!!"
Many warriors who had been meditating or resting showed no hesitation whatsoever. Following prior arrangements, they surged toward the Star River passages in orderly fashion along with their respective units.
"It's begun!"
The seventy-one Sovereigns standing tens of thousands of miles away all focused their full attention on the battle.
"Auf, Uttride, which of you two thinks your side will win?" The Death Sovereign asked with a teasing smile, clearly enjoying stirring up trouble.
The cold man in black robes, Uttride, replied indifferently, "Win? Our Inferno doesn't need to win. A draw is already a success. We're not confident about winning on both passages, but winning on one passage isn't much of a challenge."
"As for victory or defeat, it's up to them." The amiable old man who was the Fate Sovereign, Auf, continued to wear his gentle smile.
Nothing seemed capable of surprising him.
"Truly madness." Lin Lei observed the distant battle tens of thousands of miles away through his Sovereign's divine sense and couldn't help but sigh.
"Boom!" "Boom!"...
Every warrior who charged into the Star River passages ignited the halo of Sovereign power on their bodies. A Six-Star Devil-level powerhouse wielding Sovereign power could even threaten a commander who wasn't using Sovereign power. And at this moment, tens of thousands of powerhouses were wielding Sovereign power.
What a spectacle that was!
Something never seen before, now witnessed!
"Madness." Beirute witnessed the scene and shook his head. "No wonder even the Perfections, even those commanders, refused to participate."
"Because of the interests of the Sovereigns, all of this came to pass," Qing Huo sighed.
Lin Lei carefully observed the progression of the battle.
Battles erupted almost simultaneously on both passages of the Star River.
"Target: the man with the black horn directly ahead. Coordinated physical attack!"
A hundred warriors, their bodies ablaze with various colors of Sovereign power, raised their weapons or launched kicks in perfect unison. In that same instant, a hundred physical attacks swept forward like a savage storm. The area within ten meters of the muscular man with a black horn on his forehead was instantly annihilated into nothingness.
"Target: the area twenty meters ahead. Coordinated soul attack!"
Transparent waves of soul attacks spread outward once again. Many of the opposing warriors who had been fighting suddenly froze, then plummeted from the sky. Divine artifacts and other items materialized outside their bodies.
Both the Heavens and the Inferno slaughtered each other ruthlessly.
Very few commander-level figures and Sovereign's Emissaries participated in the fighting. As a result, this war was fought entirely by sacrificing lives.
"The Twelve-Winged Divine Angels have entered the battle," the Death Sovereign said with a light laugh.
"The Twelve-Winged Divine Angel legion is indeed formidable." Beirute exclaimed in admiration. Beside him, Lin Lei's eyes lit up as well.
On both passages of the Star River, Twelve-Winged Divine Angel squads emerged almost simultaneously from the ranks of the Heavens.
Brilliant white light enveloped them as their twelve white wings beat in rhythm.
"Forward! Physical kill!"
Six Twelve-Winged Divine Angels, their expressions cold and shrouded in white light, formed an angel battle array. They unleashed a thick beam of white light that shot forward in an instant. Wherever the white light passed, space shattered. In the densely packed crowd of Inferno warriors on the other side, dozens of soldiers were reduced to nothingness in a single instant.
Twelve-Winged Divine Angels operated in squads of six.
Ten squads formed one company.
Ten companies formed one battalion.
"Whoosh——"
Vast numbers of Twelve-Winged Divine Angels advanced in perfect order. On their flanks, large numbers of Heavens soldiers provided support. With the Twelve-Winged Divine Angels as the spearhead and the mass of Heavens soldiers as support, they completely overwhelmed the Inferno side, relentlessly pressing them back.
"Boom!"
Each time a squad of Twelve-Winged Divine Angels executed a coordinated attack, they annihilated large numbers of warriors.
After all, the Twelve-Winged Divine Angels were no weaker than Seven-Star Devils. The Inferno warriors, on the other hand, were mostly at the Six-Star Devil level. There was already a gap in power, and coupled with the Divine Angels' mastery of coordinated attacks, their advance was as unstoppable as a raging tempest!
