It was not someone that Liu Feng recognized. Someone old and weak, just in the Xiantian Realm, was in the center of the battlefield.

In his hands, a giant horn, with jewels studded on it. This was a battle horn, and it was probably going to commemorate the start of the war.

Liu Feng stood still. His hands caressed the shining engravings on his spear, glimmering in the morning sun. The battle was going to start with the start of the day, and it would pause in the night.

They were the general battle rules, because the battles of Soul Evolution Stage experts were going to take days to complete, and the gaps between the battle made sure that the experts could recover a little.

Since the experts would recover slightly, that meant that the battle would only go on till one person was in the disadvantage, but not to the point where that person would die.

But it would be a little different for this battle though. Because those on Liu Feng’s side were not the usual strong. They were stronger. Liu Man was a legendary constellation beast, and even though he wasn’t in the peak of the Soul Evolution Stage, he could easily match one in power.

Liu Feng even defeated Gu Hai, who was in the ninth layer of the Soul Evolution stage, while he also beat the strong and battle fanatic Shen Qiang.

Shen Qiang and Shen An, well, they were the duo from the True Martial Sect, people who spent their whole life just fighting and doing nothing else.

Min Wan was a genius of her own right. She was a little older than Liu Feng, or maybe just as old, Liu Feng never dared to ask, but she was still in the fifth layer of the Soul Evolution stage, and as a genius, her fighting power reached beyond just the fifth layer.

And Cai Guo was strong enough to keep the sect leader of the Tiandu Sect, Tian Jiang, at bay.

During this time, the goal was simple. They needed to defeat a few people so that they could start thinning out the numbers. They needed to start gaining the advantage. And Liu Feng did not trust that Cai Guo and his family, or even Shen Qiang and Shen An were strong enough to take care of their opponents.

It was going to fall upon him, and he needed to make sure that the battle was going to be win.

The old man in the center of the battle field brought the shining horn to the tips of his mouth, and blew.

The sound of a blaring horn, its noise traveling to the ends of each battle field in an instant, made every warrior below shudder.

The protections to stop casualties were not made for them. For them, this was going to be true war, and their lives were on the line. They couldn’t afford to make a single mistake now.

The horn was blow, and the battle was underway. Liu Feng looked at Cai Guo and nodded. He raised his spear and shouted.

“To victory!”

His voice, crisp and clear, without a hint of hesitation or fear, reverberated through the battle field, on his side of the war and on the other.

To have a confident leader was important. The moment he said this, the entire army on his side cheered. All those from the True Martial sect were already ready. After all, they had prepared for this for years. Everyone knew that even if the battle was one-sided, the True Martial Sect would be battling in the succession war, and they always would go down swinging.

Liu Feng hovered forward, slow in his own standards as he was still quite visible to those below. And seeing the leader step forward, it was a sign that the battle started.

“Charge!”

The generals below, peak level Xiantian Stage cultivators from the Cai family and the True Martial Sect, shouted, and they also charged.

Every one was bare foot except these generals, who had to be shown as above the others. The horses were not ordinary horses though. Ordinary ones were far too slow. These horses were special horses from the True Martial Sect.

Fire Spirit Horses, of the Nascent Soul realm.

Fast enough to cover the distance of the chasm between the two armies in a few seconds, and that they did.

The moment they shouted the word, ‘charge’, the horses went amok.

Running toward the enemy in a menacing way, the entire army behind them charged alongside to create a frightening display for those in the opposite side.

No one wanted to be the defending side in a battle that was in a plain. If this was protecting a castle, defending was easy. But when battling in a singular plain, having the first move was essential in dictating flow.

Liu Feng flew to the center of the battle field, lookin straight at the crown prince, who was in the air now, in front of all of the Soul Evolution Stage experts, using some sort of artifact and hovering using that.

“You are in a disadvantage. You should give up now, and there will be no casualties on your side. Be sensible.” The crown prince said, but it went through one ear and out the other.

Why would Liu Feng give up now. Especially if becoming the king or not dictated his life.

“There is now way that I am giving up now. On the other hand, all this shows is your weakness. I guess you are not as confident as I am that you can win this war. Then why don’t you give up instead?” Liu Feng laughed.

“Please.” The crown prince scoffed as he retreated a little, behind the large man that seemed to be the strongest here.

The sect leader of the strongest power behind the imperial palace, the Tiandu Sect.
