The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 708: We Won’t See It!

We Won't See It! . . .

This situation was entirely different.

[Cha Eun Xiao knows that time is running out for us. He knows that our million troops are on borrowed time!]

[His involvement has undoubtedly tipped the scales of this war.]

[His side is emerging victorious.]

"You doubt it? As long as I'm here, Iron Peak remains an impenetrable fortress!" Cha Eun Xiao stated matter-of-factly. "No matter how many troops you have, whether it's a million or ten million, as long as I'm here to defend it, you won't breach Iron Peak. You're aware of that."

Wenren Chuchu couldn't help but snort. "Perhaps. After all, it's you alone. The only reason you're still holding Iron Peak is you. Your continuous supply of dan beads to your troops is your lifeline. We have more than a dozen times the number of men you do. How many dan beads can you manufacture to sustain them? And even if you have enough, would you truly use them all?"

"Your personal strength is what our troops are wary of. However, you're not the invincible deity they depict you to be. The legends surrounding you describe you as godlike, but I'm certain someone else annihilated two sects in a single day. It couldn't have been you, especially when Song Jue himself couldn't accomplish such a feat, let alone you."

A sly smile appeared on Cha Eun Xiao's face. "You're deceiving yourself. People may have differing opinions about my personal strength, but the tales about my power are indeed accurate. When I so choose, I can harness most of the martial world's strength with a single command!"

His gaze bore into Wenren Chuchu with piercing intensity. "I possess that capability. These are formidable individuals who can slay their way through millions of adversaries. You don't have such authority, and you can't defend yourself."

Wenren Chuchu remained silent, unable to refute his assertion.

Feng Monarch of Ling-Bao Hall undeniably held immense power. With the promise of supreme dan beads, he could rally the entire martial world behind him, and the thought of this incited fear in Wenren Chuchu's heart. The Kingdom of Lan-Feng couldn't rival this level of influence.

She couldn't help but express her concerns, stating, "If you push us too far, if you breach the Iron Peak, I might lose my restraint. That's reasonable."

Cha Eun Xiao replied with an air of calm, though his words bore a veiled threat. "Even if I sound tranquil, my words carry an implicit warning. Pushing me beyond a certain point might provoke a response you won't want."

Wenren Chuchu snorted and remarked, "So you can gather martial world forces to aid you. What of it? The Kingdom of Chen is on the brink of collapse, and we still have a chance to defeat you."

She regretted her statement almost immediately but realized it was too late to retract her words.

Cha Eun Xiao smiled, saying, "You see, I'm here now, and victory is assured. All I need to do is remain for another half a month, and my father's northern army will reach Iron Peak."

"Do you believe you can breach Iron Peak within half a month?" he asked, his smile unwavering. "A fortress defended by me."

Wenren Chuchu's face paled.

"Can we do it in half a month?" she pondered. "Nobody knows. But one thing is certain—we're losing. Even if we manage to breach Iron Peak, it could cost us four hundred thousand men!"

This substantial loss was something even Wenren Jianyin, the leader of the Kingdom of Lan-Feng, couldn't bear.

"Even if you breach Iron Peak, what then? It's not just Chen-Xing City beyond Iron Peak. It could be the Northern Army's iron fist!" Cha Eun Xiao said calmly. "It seems we are losing so far, and your forces are exhausted. I can guarantee that even if you breach Iron Peak, you will have no more than nine hundred thousand men left. The Northern Army will launch a decisive attack!"

"And although you have me supporting your cause, it won't be enough," he continued, pushing his point. "Do you believe you can stop my father? Perhaps you aren't familiar with his abilities. He's at the Dream Origin Stage. Any assault you make will receive a retaliatory blow from him. In the end, the one who loses will meet their end in this battle. Do you comprehend what that implies for you?"

Gritting her teeth, Wenren Chuchu emphasized, "Speed is of the essence in war! The Northern Army is tens of thousands of miles away. As long as we—"

"That is merely your wishful thinking..." Cha Eun Xiao extended a long, pale finger, waving it before her. "You're not the sole individual who comprehends the importance of speed. My father, Cha Nantian, the War God of Chen, is well aware of it. The Northern Army dispatched their troops the moment they learned of my arrival here. Their numbers are not substantial, approximately sixty thousand soldiers. However, it has been seven days since they set out for this location. This implies they are no more than eight thousand miles away from us at present. Ten days are all they need to reach us."

He continued, "More forces will be following suit."

Wenren Chuchu inhaled deeply and responded blandly, "How am I to trust whether you're boasting or not? Do you believe you can intimidate me?"

Cha Eun Xiao remained nonchalant. He wasn't anxious in the least as he commented, "No need to argue about it. The truth will soon become evident. You can simply wait and see for yourself. Let's find out who will have the last laugh."

Wenren Chuchu's gaze sharpened, and she retorted blandly, "Very well!"

Of course, he had attempted to intimidate her. He had no knowledge of the Northern Army's location. Sixty thousand soldiers? He had fabricated that to deceive her.

However, it was the only course of action available to him at the moment.

Would Wenren Chuchu be frightened? He wasn't overly concerned about it.

"Listen," he began, "I only made those statements from my standpoint. They vex us both. I apologize. Princess, what is your intent? You didn't come here to quarrel, did you?" With half-closed eyes, Cha Eun Xiao addressed her.

"Of course not," Wenren Chuchu sighed. "Feng Monarch, no, Lord Cha, I believe you possess some knowledge. Regardless of which side emerges victorious in this war, no matter who conquers the world, both you and I will not witness it."

Cha Eun Xiao fell silent.

She was right. It was the undeniable truth.

He might witness the triumph in this battlefield, but he would never witness who ultimately seized control of the world.

By then, he would be in Qing-Yun Realm.
