"Y-Your Majesty! That arrogant bastard slew the soldiers we sent again! At this rate, we'll lose all of our spare soldiers to him!" The current Supreme General of the Celestial Army reported to the Celestial Emperor.
Frustration clenched the Celestial Emperor's teeth together. If not for the diversion of his main army in the Heavenly War of Immortals and Gods, he could have easily crushed Tian Xian. But alas, his only option was to dispatch his reserve forces, as his enemies could potentially change the tide of their war if he weakened his main army even slightly.
It's been six years since Tian Xian openly defied the Celestial Emperor. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Celestial Emperor had perished to Tian Xian, who was only becoming more formidable with every fight.
