1432 Heaven's Defiance

"W-watch out! It's Tian Xian, the Evil God!" One of the Celestial Army's soldiers cried out loud in a terrified voice when he noticed Tian Xian's figure approaching their formation from a distance, carrying with him enough killing intent to scare even ghosts.

"Fuck! Why'd he have to show up now of all times?! We were beginning to push back those Heaven's Defiance bastards!" Another soldier cursed out loud.

"There's no way we can deal with the Evil God and Heaven's Defiance at the same time! We're screwed!"

The forces opposing the Celestial Emperor in the Heavenly War of Immortals and Gods adopted the name "Heaven's Defiance" as a symbolic gesture, implying their defiance against the Celestial Emperor who claimed to represent heaven itself.

As for the title Evil God, nobody seemed to know the origin of such a name, but it quickly spread throughout the Divine Heavens, becoming widely recognized and associated with Tian Xian, who was once known as the God of War.

When Tian Xian arrived at the battlefield, wielding a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, he immediately began slaughtering the Celestial Army like a madman.

"Oh, shit! The Evil God has appeared on our battlefield! We need to retreat before our own people get caught up in his bloodbath!"

"Thank the lord! If he hadn't shown up, we would've been in grave danger!"

Those from Heaven's Defiance, without hesitation, withdrew from the battle when they noticed Tian Xian's presence on the battlefield.

After all, Heaven's Defiance had already attempted to fight alongside Tian Xian during their initial encounter. However, his relentless assault showed no regard for friend or foe, resulting in casualties among their own ranks.

Despite suffering losses at Tian Xian's hands, Heaven's Defiance refrained from seeking retribution and even tried to assist him on several other occasions. They recognized that targeting Tian Xian would be counterproductive. After all, he was cutting down the Celestial Army at a rapid rate by himself and was their best hope of defeating the Celestial Emperor.

While Tian Xian chased after the scattering Celestial Army, Heaven's Defiance worked on stopping the Celestial Army from escaping.

"Hahaha! Where do you think you're going, Celestial Emperor's dogs!"

"You think you can run away now?!"

"Look at you pathetic bastards! What happened to your arrogance from a minute ago?! You have been shaking in your boots since the Evil God showed up!"

Those from Heaven's Defiance laughed and mocked the Celestial Army's soldiers for their cowardice as they prevented the Celestial Army's escape, allowing Tian Xian to slaughter them at a much faster pace.

Eventually, Tian Xian erased the Celestial Army from existence. After taking care of the Celestial Army, he immediately left the scene to find the next battlefield with the Celestial Army's presence, completely ignoring those from Heaven's Defiance.

As for Heaven's Defiance, they could only silently admire Tian Xian as they watched him leave.

In their eyes, Tian Xian appeared out of thin air one day and started slaughtering everyone working for the Celestial Emperor or had worked for him at one point. It didn't matter if they were the active Celestial Army or some small family that once worked with the Celestial Emperor a hundred years ago. He hunted everyone affiliated with the Celestial Emperor without exception.

"Fuck! That fucking son of a bitch, Tian Xian, has been wrecking havoc throughout the Divine Heavens and slaughtering my people nonstop for the last 100 years! How is he still alive?! Explain yourself, Supreme General!" The Celestial Emperor roared with an enraged face, his gaze staring daggers at the Supreme General, who was soaked in cold sweat.

The Supreme General, trembling in his boots, spoke in a nervous voice, "Your Majesty, I truly don't know what is happening. Tian Xian was nowhere near this powerful when he was still a City Lord at the City of Xian! His rapid growth and newfound power are far beyond what anyone could have anticipated! No matter what we throw at him, he somehow always manages to escape! Moreover, he never stays in one place! Even if we know he'll hunt down our allies, it's near impossible to predict his actions!"

Even though it's been 100 years since Tian Xian left the City of Xian to hunt down the Celestial Emperor and his allies, he has long attained a level of cultivation that typically requires geniuses hundreds, if not thousands, of years to achieve even marginal progress, so the way he's growing like he was still a Spirit Lord did not make any sense.

Tian Xian's progress was simply unprecedented and unfathomable in the Supreme General's eyes.

BANG!

The Celestial Emperor suddenly smashed his jade table into tiny pieces and shouted, "I didn't ask for excuses, Supreme General! I asked why that fucking bastard is still alive! If you cannot do your job properly, I will have you replaced immediately!"

The Supreme General was horrified by the Celestial Emperor's words and the looming threat of being replaced, and he quickly kowtowed on the cold floor.

"This useless subordinate was wrong! Please give me another chance to dispose of Tian Xian!"

"This will be your first and last warning! Get out of my sight!" The Celestial Emperor stomped his feet, causing the entire building to tremble.

The Supreme General wasted no time and swiftly left the room, his mind consumed by the urgent task of hunting down Tian Xian. In just a mere century, Tian Xian had inflicted more damage upon their forces than Heaven's Defiance had managed to do in the past millennium, and he was working mostly alone.

"I refuse to let my tens of thousands of years of hard work vanish because of a single individual!"

The Supreme General no longer held back and started sending his elite soldiers to hunt down Tian Xian. Unlike the ordinary soldiers of the Celestial Army that were at most Golden Immortals, these elite soldiers were all real immortals between the True Immortal realm and God Ascension realm.
