Everlasting Immortal Firmament-Chapter 053Book 07 : Converging in Three Mountains City
Three Mountains City:
After learning the Han Destruction Army had split into three divisions, Shangguan Hen and Ao Shun received commands to rush over at their fastest speed.
When the two arrived outside Three Mountains City, the distant Ao Sheng was already attacking the city with close to one thousand dragons. Some Wu Nation soldiers followed behind them. Of course, these soldiers dealt with logistics.
However, Three Mountains City seemed somewhat strange. A vast, dense fog filled the surroundings.
“Something’s not right. Why do I feel a chill on entering this foggy region?” Ao Shun said with a frown.
“Just ignore that for now. Ao Sheng is about to break the defensive barrier of the city. We should do as the supreme commander ordered first,” Shangguan Hen said.
“Alright. I’ll block Ao Sheng while you restrain all the dragons. They have ancient souls in their bodies. We should capture them first before slowly removing the ancient souls,” Ao Shun said.
“Alright!” Shangguan Hen answered.
Whoosh!
The two rushed towards Three Mountains City.
------
The fog-covered Three Mountains City:
Ao Sheng appeared confused when he brought his army over.
“Prime, there do not seem to be any guards defending the city?” a huge dragon said with a frown.
“There’s a vast fog covering the city but no sound? It’s like a dead city!” another huge dragon commented.
“Capture the city first before doing anything else. Be careful of ambushes!” Ao Sheng shouted coldly.
“Yes!” Ten huge dragons charged at the barrier.
Boom!
When the dragon tails pounded the barrier, countless cracks appeared in it. However, no soldiers came out to stop them.
“Continue!” Ao Sheng said.
Boom!
The defensive barrier exploded and broke. The entire Three Mountains City trembled.
“It broke?” The dragons’ eyes lit up.
However, a vast fog still shrouded the silent city.
“Something’s not right. Prime, there are no human voices. Is this an ambush?” a huge dragon said with misgivings.
“Go look!” Ao Sheng commanded.
Boom!
A strong gale blew. Ao Shun and Shangguan Hen arrived.
“It’s you?” Ao Sheng’s expression changed.
“Crown Prince Ao Shun?” The eyes of the surrounding dragons lit up.
Although Ao Sheng had placed ancient dragon souls in their bodies, forcing them to obey only Ao Sheng, they still felt soul-deep respect for Ao Shun.
“Inform Six Fingers, the Southern Sea Dragon King, and His Reverence!” Ao Sheng shouted.
“Yes! Yes!” the logistics officers behind answered.
“Ao Shun! Hah! You finally dare to show yourself and face me after over a month?” Ao Sheng said coldly.
“Ao Sheng, I have never seen you as my opponent,” Ao Shun said seriously.
“But you keep pitting yourself against me!” Ao Sheng said coldly.
“That was your own doing.” Ao Shun shook his head.
“My own doing? Humph! My own doing? Since you are here today, you can forget about leaving! Everyone, attack! Take down Ao Shun!” Ao Sheng roared furiously, waving his hand.
“Roar!”
An aura of death suddenly erupted from the dragons. As if something controlled them, all their eyes gleamed red as they charged Ao Shun while roaring.
Ao Shun rushed forward, wove through the dragons, and arrived before Ao Sheng in an instant.
When Ao Shun threw a palm strike at Ao Sheng, Ao Sheng’s face sank, and he countered with a palm strike.
Boom!
Ao Shun sent Ao Sheng flying into the sky and immediately gave chase.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
The dragons possessed by dragon souls roared as they turned their heads, wanting to pursue.
“Dragons, sorry for this offense!” Shangguan Hen’s face sank.
Shangguan Hen blocked the dragons and threw a palm strike that sent many dragons flying. Then his arms shot out, grabbed a dragon in each hand, and injected golden energy to seal the two dragons, preventing them from moving. Then he tossed the dragons in his hands into the city.
“Three Mountains City soldiers, watch the sealed dragons!” Shangguan Hen said coldly.
Shangguan Hen’s hands moved like the wind, swiftly sealing the various dragons and tossing them into the city.
The Wu Nation logistics officers fled in fear.
Shangguan Hen alone was like a vast army. Bright golden light shone in the fog, blocking the dragons.
As Ao Shun delayed Ao Sheng, Ao Sheng saw the distant scene.
“Ao Shun, you are snatching my subordinates?” Ao Sheng said, his expression changing dramatically.
“They are your subordinates? Hah! You forced them into this, right? I’m bringing them away today! Leaving them with you would only harm them! They are my war buddies! My brothers!” Ao Shun said coldly.
“You bastard!” Ao Sheng transformed into a huge black dragon.
However, Ao Shun transformed into an even larger black dragon. The two dragons fought in the sky, spitting out black water as they clashed and tore at each other. The dragon deities strengthened them; however, Ao Sheng was no match for Ao Shun, causing him anxiety.
More dragons got sealed as time passed, leaving less than twenty percent of the dragons. Shangguan Hen would come and help soon.
“Ao Shun! Just you wait! Just you wait! Roar!” Ao Sheng roared furiously.
Ao Sheng turned and fled into the distance.
Ao Shun sighed as he watched Ao Sheng, but he did not give chase.
However, he saw Ao Sheng dive into the fog, then fly back in the next moment.
“Again?” Ao Shun’s face sank, and he readied himself to fight.
However, Ao Sheng’s face changed, looking somewhat stupefied. “Why am I back here?”
Ao Sheng turned and dived into the fog again. This confused Ao Shun. Soon, Ao Sheng returned.
“What? I can’t fly out? How is this possible?!” Ao Sheng’s face changed dramatically.
“You aren’t leaving?” Ao Shun said in confusion.
“Ao Shun, is this your trap? You laid a ritual array in Three Mountains City in advance? Hahaha! Indeed, you are insidious. Since I can’t leave, then I won’t leave. Either you die, or I die today!” Ao Sheng charged Ao Shun in a rage.
Boom!
The two dragons started fighting again.

Outside the fog around Three Mountains City:
The Southern Sea Dragon Kong waited outside with one hundred Southern Sea dragons and fifty bodhisattvas and arhats.
“Send a message to Long Shenwu in Martial Heaven City!” the Southern Sea Dragon King said coldly.
“Yes!”
A zither puppet at the side trembled.
“Long Shenwu, Six Fingers and Ao Sheng were ambushed. I just arrived at Three Mountains City. Ao Sheng is still alive. If you want to save him, come quickly. This is at the Wu Imperial Dynasty’s border, so you can use the nation’s power. There are a few experts of the Han Imperial Dynasty. Quickly come and help me. We can kill them here, chopping off Gu Hai’s right and left arms. With that, the Han Imperial Dynasty will be forced to stop,” the Southern Sea Dragon King said.
“Three Mountains City? Three Mountains City? Humph! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! We will ensure you never return for destroying our bronze soldiers! Ao Sihai, delay them! We will arrive soon!” Long Shenwu’s voice came from the zither puppet.
“Alright!” Ao Sihai answered. Then, he smashed the zither puppet.
As he looked at the fog in front, he revealed a faint sneer. “Long Shenying? How excellent of him! Everything is proceeding as he wanted?”
“Dragon King, should we enter?” A bodhisattva at the side frowned.
“Just enter. Don’t worry. This ritual array will only support us. It will not harm us. Let’s go!” Ao Sihai said coldly.
Whoosh!
Ao Sihai entered with everyone.
Upon entering, they saw an intense battle within. Two black dragons fought in the sky. Shangguan Hen shone with bright golden light below after sealing all the dragons and throwing them into the city. However, not a single sound came from the city.
Shangguan Hen’s face sank, and he instantly entered the city.
What greeted him was the sight of everyone in the city lying unconscious. All the citizens seemed dead, giving off black energy. Please visit 𝐟𝒓𝚎𝘦we𝐛𝐧𝐨vℯ𝚕. c𝘰ｍ
“Oh, no! It’s a trap?!” Shangguan Hen’s face changed.
Shangguan Hen raised his head and looked at the battle in the sky. He immediately soared up and said, “Ao Shun, something’s wrong. Quickly, leave this place!”
Shangguan Hen soared into the air, wanting to help Ao Shun quickly finish the battle. However, the Southern Sea Dragon King appeared before him and threw a punch.
“Huh?” Shangguan Hen’s expression changed as he counterpunched.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as space tore. Both Shangguan Hen and the Southern Sea Dragon King took a step back.
“Ao Sihai?” Shangguan Hen’s expression turned cold.
“Shangguan Hen? Haha! To think you are this strong?” the Southern Sea Dragon King said in shock.
“What happened to the Three Mountains City citizens? Are you behind the fog here?” Shangguan Hen’s expression changed.
“Humph!” the Southern Sea Dragon King snorted coldly.
Shangguan Hen’s face sank. Knowing things were bad, he did not waste time here, avoiding the Southern Sea Dragon King and instantly shooting into the distance.
Whoosh!
Shangguan Hen strangely shot right back an instant later.
“What is this ritual array? I can’t get out?” Shangguan Hen’s expression changed.
Shangguan Hen darted around but could not get out. With a somewhat anxious expression, he took out a zither puppet to send a message. Unfortunately, the zither puppet did not work in this ritual array.
“It’s useless. Once you come in, you can forget about contacting the outside!” the Southern Sea Dragon King sneered.
Shangguan Hen’s expression turned cold. “If I can’t contact anyone, so be it. His Reverence and the supreme commander know we are here. They will send someone soon. Ao Sihai, since you are an accomplice to such evils, you can forget about leaving today!”
After Shangguan Hen spoke, he immediately charged at the Southern Sea Dragon King with a ferocious scowl.
Boom!
The two experts started fighting again.

Outside Three Mountains City:
Kong Xuan arrived, flapping its wings. Swallowing one million bronze soldiers had boosted its morale. After restraining it for so long, Mo Yike finally let it face the Han Destruction Army head-on.
How could the bronze soldiers be sufficient? It immediately flapped its wings and flew to the other two cities. The Southern Sea Dragon King had already left the first city it flew to, so it did not tarry but headed straight for Three Mountains City.
When the gigantic peacock arrived outside Three Mountains City, it happened to see the Southern Sea Dragon King’s group entering the fog.
“Hahaha! They are indeed here!” Kong Xuan smiled coldly.
Flapping its wings, Kong Xuan entered the fog around Three Mountains City too.
------
Long Shenwu relied on the Han Destruction Army to turn things around. Now that his one million bronze soldiers had gotten wiped out, his rage could burn everything.
Now, Ao Sheng also got ambushed, and the Southern Sea Dragon King asked him to come and help.
If it were the previous Long Shenwu, he might have been calmer. However, this was Teacher Yinyue, who had already lost his rationality.
“Wu Imperial Dynasty citizens, the Wu Imperial Dynasty is on the verge of death. We sincerely plead with the Wu Nation citizens to push the enemy back with us. We ask to borrow everyone’s energy once again. Please raise your right hand. For our nation! For the Wu Nation! To defend the final territory! Not to get destroyed and become slaves! Raise your right hands and lend us your energy!” Long Shenwu shouted.
“Roar!”
The significantly dimmer golden blessings dragon above the blessings cloud sea roared. His voice immediately spread to the citizens in the Wu Imperial Dynasty’s one hundred-odd cities.
Many citizens remained silent. However, plenty of citizens still raised their right hand to lend their strength.
“Roar!”
The golden blessings dragon roared. It gathered the energy from the Wu Nation and flew into Long Shenwu’s body.
Rumble…!
Although many citizens did not lend their energy, strength still permeated Long Shenwu’s body.
He turned a ferocious face towards Three Mountains City.
Boom!
Long Shenwu sped towards Three Mountains City, moving extremely fast. He arrived outside Three Mountains City in mere moments.
Long Shenwu did not hesitate to charge in despite seeing the fog outside Three Mountains City.
