Divine Brilliance

The sword light stirred within Yuntai’s throat and sliced off his head.

However, his body also instantly turned illusionary, it disappeared. A broken talisman fell to the ground.

Yuntai’s body appeared thirty feet away.

He had a wound on his throat, his face was ashen-white as he looked forwards in fear.

Just in that instant, just at that short moment, he would have died.

However, he wasn’t in a good state now either. A weird sword power surged into his body, charging and striking at his life force, causing his true essence to shatter and collapse.

The chakra meridians in his body were also breaking inch by inch. Ninety percent of his strength was used to counter this sword energy so that he wouldn’t die.

That sword intent was Slaying!

It was even above the Massascring Sword Intent and had even reached the Late Spirit Realm!

What a strong sword technique! Such an amazing sword path, such a strong King Path Martial Arts! Even if he joined hands with Yuntai, they might not be able to block him.

He looked towards the right and saw a blood light stabbing into his eyes.

In just that short moment, close to none of the sixty-five thousand Purple Qilin’s Flame Spear Cavalry remained. The blood mist stretched several miles more!

There was intense pain in his chest, and along with the injuries he suffered, he instantly spat out blood.

The current Yinyu also felt his arms and hands turn cold as he looked forward in a daze.

If not for the stench from the blood that spurted out from Yuntai, he would have doubted whether or not he was in a dream.

“Although we only lost sixty thousand Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers, we still have seven hundred thousand troops!”

“We still have a chance! Only the Purple Qilin’s Flame Spear Cavalry is affected, there is still a hundred thousand iron cavalry on the right, and twenty thousand Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers!”

“What a chance! The Blood Cloud Cavalry already absorbed a full sixty-five thousand Grade Six experts’ essence blood. Even if the same grade Dao Soldiers fight them two against one, they won’t be able to win. Moreover, they are just random soldiers mixed together from the various aristocratic families.”

“Let’s try to block for as long as possible! Let’s hope our central troops will be able to crush their right-wing first!”

As if it was proving what that person said was right, when the blood mist spread out to twenty miles , the momentum of the Blood Cloud Cavalry became unstoppable.

Thirty thousand blood halberds were claiming life after life like the god of death.

However, the twenty thousand Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers were still okay and was able to block the invasion of the blood mist.

The hundred thousand Great Shang troops at the back were all Peak Grade Three and below. The blood mist reached around them, and in just a few dozen breaths, they were devoid of energy. Their charging speed was greatly reduced, they were unable to retreat at all.

That red flood drowned them! It trambled and smashed them into dust!

Even after easily crushing the two hundred thousand men in the right-wing of the Great Shang, the thirty thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry wasn’t tired at all, instead, they were more energetic and pumped up!

Using vital energy to recover, their true qi and stamina were better than before. Their fighting spirit also climbed even higher.

Under Zong Yuan’s leadership, the cavalry formation did a beautiful arc and started to smash towards the waist of the center troops.

The invincibility of the Blood Cloud Cavalry was forged through fresh blood and war results! As long as there was still blood to be absorbed and living beings to be killed, then they will never run out of energy!”

“They are pretty much evil demons!”

On the carriage pulled by forty-nine dragon horses, Zuoxin trembled, his face turning purple-gold.

“He really is a demon, the Monster Lord! What is the difference between such a cavalry army and evil demons?”

No one spoke a word as they looked quietly in front of them. In that instant, a ball of Buddhist Light appeared. This Buddhist light shone and the hundred thousand soldiers at the front of the Great Gan central army was covered in a layer of golden light.

Some of those who were slightly knowledgeable would know that the Buddhist Faction Protector Monks had started to use the Diamond Mingwang Cycle Curse to buff the Great Gan army with the Diamond Body.

No matter how stupid one was, they knew that the two hundred thousand Huang Grade Dao Soldiers in the middle wouldn’t be able to crush the Great Gan army in a short time.

Things changed really quickly, they were on the verge of winning just now, but now, they were in despair.

Was the Great Gan really going to be defeated here?

Coincidentally, at this moment, a golden light shone in the air. The blue sky three miles out seemed to have been sliced open. One could see hundreds of people entering.

“En? It’s the Buddhist Faction’s True Martial Swordsman!”

“A hundred and forty-two, three sets of the Great Beidou True Martial Sword Formations!”

The generals and civil servants in front of Yinyu were slightly pumped up after seeing a bit of new hope.

That’s right! Apart from the Purple Qilin’s Flame Spear Cavalry that was already wiped out, the Taoist Faction still had thousands of Heaven and Earth Grade Dao Soldiers.

This battle was far from over.

However, Yuntai wasn’t that optimistic about it. During the Common People’s Vast Habitat battle, what the Taoist Faction lost the most was the True Martial Swordsman, as well as the Heaven and Earth Grade Dao Soldiers sent over from the other sects.

At that time, those that followed the few End Realm experts into the Common People’s Vast Habitat, ninety percent of them ended up dead.

Although the Taoist Faction had purchased thousands of slave cultivators a few years back, most of them were already lost.

After this battle, the power of High-Grade Dao Soldiers between the six factions will equal out once more.

Which is why the entry of these three Great Beidou True Martial Sword Formations proved that the situation in the outside would become even more intense.

The Common People’s Path, Sword Sect, and Buddhist Faction would definitely counterattack.

He looked to the opposite side, only to see that there were seventy-two Celestial Realm cultivators standing behind Zong Shou who slowly rose up into the air. Their auras were all similar, looking exactly the same as the sword intent that Zong Shou had used.

“Source Ocean Demon Slaying Warriors!”

Yuntai’s pupils constricted. He had heard of them during the battle that wiped out Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty.

These bunch of Source Ocean Demon Slaying Warriors also got famous from that battle.

As expected, Shi Ruolan didn’t bring just fifteen Earth Grade Spaceships from the outer region!

Seventy-two Source Ocean Demon Slaying Warriors, even if their combat strength wasn’t as exaggerated as he had heard, it was still enough to restrict the three formations.

His eyes turned back towards the area behind the Great Shang troops.

“Your majesty, how long will Zhongxuan’s Yin Yang Heart Needle Technique take to complete?”

Even if they lost today, they had to wipe out that Blood Sword Monster Lord!

Yinyu’s eyes flashed as he said calmly, “Forty-nine days ago, he had already started preparing. He will complete it at 10:45!”

He was a ruler who had been through all different kinds of situations. Even under such bad circumstances, he was still really calm, showing the much-needed bravado of a ruler.

Liu Li observed this and praise appeared in his eyes.

Not being arrogant in victory and worried in defeat, as expected from the emperor that allowed the Great Shang to rise back up!

“Your majesty doesn’t need to worry about the evil ruler who is unruly and goes against the Heavens. Sooner or later, karma will strike him. The Heavens will protect the Great Shang forever!”

Yuntai listened while he looked into the sky. He laughed coldly. If they lost here, the entire Cloud World would probably fall into the hands of that demon!

Karma? Why not just depend on those outer region alien races.

However… 10:45? Looking at the time, it was already 10:30. Just a little more and his curse would be completed.

They still had a chance!

There were only fifteen more minutes left and the curse would be completed.

However, in the next moment, an intent spread out from the outside into his consciousness.

Yuntai was stunned, his body turned to stone. Moments later, he found it preposterous.

How was that possible? That person killed hundreds of thousands of Taoist Faction disciples alone, he sinned so badly! He is hated by the entire Confucian Faction and is seen as the Enemy of the Confucians, how could he…

He raised his head and looked towards the opposite side. Then he saw that Liu Li was even more shocked than he was, like he had seen a ghost. His face filled with panic and anxiousness.

“How is that possible? How can such a barbaric ruler be compared to the ancient Saints?”

In front of Jiuchi Palace, on the carriage, Zong Shou sat on the throne with his brows frowned.

Yuntai escaping at the last moment was something he had expected.

The Taoist Faction’s Substitution Talisman had always been really famous. Especially since the talismans crafted by those two End Realms had the ability to substitute one for death.

Seeing that the two people stopped interfering, Zong Shou stopped and retracted his sword back into his sheath.

He wasn’t in a rush. He had made his mind up. Within a hundred miles, no one from the Spirit Realm and above could escape from his sword!

Even Saint Realm experts were no exception!

What he cared about more now was the weird situation in his body, it made him wary but also extremely confused.

The coldness he felt became increasingly stronger.

There was a stabbing pain in his chest which became more prevalent. The red jade necklace in front of his chest gave out a clear cracking sound.

Many cracks formed like it could break with a single touch. More and more red light glowed.

Kong Yao sensed it right away. She turned around and her eyes were filled with fear and panic.

After all, she came from the Kong Family and had seen all of these before.

“It seems to be a technique that is really evil, it directly attacks one’s heart!”

Unfortunately, she had already removed her Heaven Eye. Her intuition on the battlefield was really sharp but she was now unable to see anything about Zong Shou.

Xiaori sensed something, after lowering its body once more, he hollered towards the Great Shang’s side. Not only did its body start to swell and show purple gold scales, the Beast King aura started to spread out.

What was funny was the moment it started to roar, the coldness that Zong Shou felt in his body reduced.

Even the stabbing pain faded, he didn’t feel anything anymore.

“Curse? Is it Zhongxuan?”

Zong Shou’s expression was really ugly. The curses from those divination grandmasters weren’t a joking matter.

However, normally, such curses needed one’s birth date and life numbers, probably even blood and hair.

“I am not too sure about that, I only know that this curse is really evil and needs large amounts of blood and souls!”

Kong Yao shook her head and didn’t bother anymore as she continued to focus on the battlefield. When the corner of her eyes saw Zong Shou’s ashen-white face, she burst into laughter.

“What are you afraid of? Although I don’t know what it is, people with tough destinies won’t be affected. For example Xiang King and Ranwu King. Their whole energy made it tough for evil to enter. You are almost like them…”
