Chapter 1251: Mystic Martial City, Break!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It had been a month!
There was still no sign of Jiang Yi and company. The Death God’s Dense Sea and the entire Black Sea was covered with the North Thearch’s spies, but nothing out of the ordinary happened. People from different parts of the continent reported back to him, and yet none of them reported anything useful. The North Thearch was sure that Jiang Yi had not come out; or perhaps, he could not come out.
Xing Mo knew about the Void Ancient Path, but the Saint Emperor said that more than ten formidable martial artists went into the Death God’s Dense Sea, and not one of them returned. Thus, even Xing Mengwan did not dare to walk into the Void Ancient Path. Before the army set off, the North Thearch and Xing Mengwan paid Xing Mo a visit. Xing Mo himself was not sure if Jiang Yi would be able to make it out alive.
Thus, the North Thearch and Xing Mengwan were extra confident this time. As long as Jiang Yi and the others were trapped, it would be easy for them to conquer the continent and crush the Endless Deep Sea.
The army kept advancing day and night. This time, Ao Lu did not send an army to stop them mid-way. There was not even a single demonic beast in the army’s path. The low-grade demonic beasts had all been moved to the east of the Endless Deep Sea by Ao Lu. As the army flew on for several days, it did not meet a single one of them.
“Hmph, do you think we won’t be able to reach you if you hide in Mystic Martial City?”
The North Thearch laughed under his breath. There were many more incredible battle formations in Xing Mengwan’s hands. Back then, she could even destroy the Nine Dragons God-Extinguishing Continent on Sin Island. Of course, the huge array around Mystic Martial City would mean nothing to her.
Half a month later, the army finally arrived at the center of the Endless Deep Sea. The Mystic Martial City was directly under them. The North Thearch’s scouts also found out that there were countless demons gathered in Mystic Martial City, including the demons of the Endless Deep Sea and Blood Night Fearsome Sea. It was clear that they were ready to fight until their deaths.
“Keke!”
The North Thearch smiled confidently. He waved his hands, gesturing for the leaders of the scouts to retreat. Then, his gaze fell upon the hundreds of Demigods in the ship cabin. In a calm tone, he said, “Everyone, let’s go into the sea and see what Ao Lu has up his sleeves.”
“Go!”
The Sword Thearch and Beast Thearch led the way, followed by many Demigods. Tang Shenji and some other great family clan heads followed closely in silence.
Buzz!
A million Heaven Fate Ships disappeared just like that, and tens of millions of Heaven Monarchs appeared in mid-air and split into ten smaller armies. They were lined up in neat formations, obviously much stronger than they were before. The killing intent around each soldier was more intense as well.
“Into the sea!”
The North Thearch called out. Immediately, the tens of thousands of soldiers shot downward from all directions, holding up their shields. The scene at that moment was very magnificent. Water splashed upwards as the soldiers entered the sea, causing huge ripples and waves at the same time. The wind roared, and the sea stirred. It looked like heaven and earth were shaken.
In the deepest part of the Endless Deep Sea, the huge Mystic Martial City stood silently. There was no movement or sound within. There was a huge semi-sphere of light engulfing the entire city. Inside, countless demons stood calmly on the city plaza, in the streets, and in the castles. The killing intent around each of them was intense as well. They watched as the human army raced toward them, surrounding the city.
Swish!
The North Thearch led the hundreds of Demigods toward the city first. Although their divine shields were activated, the sea within a three-kilometer radius of them automatically parted for them. The North Thearch looked down at the demons and smiled. In a low voice, he shouted, “Ao Lu, Jiang Yi, come out and battle!”
There was no movement. The countless Heaven Monarchs did not even care about Ao Lu or Jiang Yi; neither did they look at the demons. They just focused on Mystic Martial City with burning eyes. All the castles inside the city were made of celestial stones. Since it was so huge, it was probable that there were countless celestial stones and other treasures within. Once Mystic Martial City was destroyed, the surviving people would be able to split the riches among them. They were bound to get a huge amount of celestial stones. Their descendants will then be able to live in prosperity and comfort for the rest of their lives.
Shh-shh-shh!
Outside the gates of Mystic Martial Castle, an elderly man with green hair finally walked out slowly. He gazed coolly at the North Thearch and his entire army, a mocking smile slowly forming on his face. In an equally cold voice, he said, “Wu Shang, are you lying through your teeth? Jiang Yi went into the Black Sea a few months ago to rescue the Buddha Thearch and company. You know this full well, don’t you? You and the Heaven Nether Sect’s Sect Patriarch know what you have done. Do you want me to list them out for you one by one?
“You claim that Jiang Yi and I are the masterminds, but if we really were, the first person we would have killed would not have been the Battle Thearch. It would have been you! The Battle Thearch, you, the Beast Thearch, the Sword Thearch, and Xing Mengwan were all in cahoots, weren’t you?”
“Wow!”
Ao Lu’s words caused the entire army to stir. This news was too shocking, especially to Tang Shenji and company. These elderly folks already felt like something was amiss. If the North Thearch and Heaven Nether Sect were really behind all of this, then the stakes were really high this time. The entire Stellarsky Domain would never be able to recover.
“Hahaha...”
The North Thearch laughed aloud, and Xing Mengwan smiled mockingly as well. The North Thearch laughed for a full thirty seconds before he shouted, “Ao Lu, you’re facing death; and you still dare to make up these stories? All the demons you’ve planted in the East Imperial Continent have been caught. The evidence is before you. Do you think these words from you are enough to mess up my army’s morale?
“From the ancient days, humans and demons have never gotten along. How many humans have you demons killed over all these centuries? You worked together with human scum and Sin Island’s spies to kill so many of our comrades. All you want to do is return to your glory days and take over the East Imperial Continent. Am I wrong?”
“Keke!”
Ao Lu shook his head and smiled. “There’s no point in speaking anymore. I am not interested in talking nonsense with you. Heaven’s net has wide meshes, but you cannot escape it. I know in my heart that I am righteous. Demons, take this order: kill!”
“Kill!”
The tens of millions of demons in Mystic Heaven City called out in response. All of them flew upward, through the protective layer of light. At that exact moment, the entire Mystic Martial City lit up. All the castles made out of celestial stones shout out beams of light, causing the protective layer of light around the city to expand further so that it covered everything within a five-thousand-kilometer radius. Even the tens of millions of soldiers from the human army were covered.
“En?”
The formidable martial artists quickly discovered a problem. Inside the protective layer, their essence force flowed much more slowly. Their battle skills were severely suppressed. However, the demons moved several times faster. Ao Lu’s array mimicked the design of heaven and earth. It was incredible. It was no wonder he said the previous time that he had more confidence in winning if the battle took place in Mystic Martial City.
“Hmph!”
Xing Mengwan laughed mirthlessly and shouted, “Set up the formation!”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
This time, she did not bring with her just nine Demigods, but forty-nine of them. All the hidden Demigods of the Heaven Nether Sect were summoned. All forty-nine of them moved according to the incredible formation like the last time. A frightening eel shot out from Xing Mengwan’s arms, entering the protective layer of light. Immediately, cracks appeared in the protective layer. It looked like it would fall apart at any moment.
“Break—!”
A long, black saber appeared in the North Thearch’s hands. Its aura was shocking. It seemed to be glowing, and the runic patterns kept flashing. It was a divine artifact! He waved the long saber around, summoning a ten-thousand-meter-long blade light that struck down on the protective layer. The formidable array fell into pieces at once. It was utterly destroyed!
“A divine artifact?”
Tang Shenji and the Xuan Clan’s Clan Head—Xuan Chen—looked on in shock. Their hearts skipped a beat. There were supposed to be only two divine artifacts in the Stellarsky Domain. Yet, more divine artifacts kept appearing one by one. Nobody would believe that there had been no foul play involved.
“Kill!”
Once again, the North Thearch waved his long saber. A strong wave of energy shot out. At that moment, he looked like an incomparable god. This boosted the human army’s confidence. With the North Thearch on their side, they were sure that they would emerge victorious. The North Thearch was a nine-star formidable martial artist. Now, he even had a divine artifact battle saber with him. His powers and skills were comparable to that of a True God. Who else under heaven was his match?
“You’re still not fighting?”
The army rushed forward, but Tang Shenji and company stood by, doing nothing. The North Thearch looked at them coolly and said, “We are fighting for the survival of the human race. Whoever dares to back out and hurt my army’s morale will be killed immediately!”
“Kill!”
Tang Shenji and the others had no other choice but to grit their teeth and fight the demons. The cruel battle had begun. Mystic Martial City was turning into a chopping board.
