Chapter 479: Battle
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
This Elder Black Water was really unlucky.
Dream masters at the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage had lots of survival tactics. Even if their original body was killed, they could transmigrate themselves to a temporarily prepared body.
What Elder Smelter spiritualised was the Fiery Dragon Child whereas what Elder Black Water created were the Black Water Xuan Snakes.
However, such possession-cum-reincarnation technique could only be used once in a short period of time.
As Elder Black Water was fighting against 4 others all alone, the spiritual knight he was fighting against discovered the flaw in his array. The two True Divines persevered through the black waters to kill him and in the key moment, there was even a sneak attack from a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master, Shadow Dragon Guard!
Under the combined attack from the four of them, not only did Elder Black Water die, even his temporary magical clone did not manage to escape too and died aggrievedly.
This was the reality of such a chaotic war!
Even if one could defeat three and was mightily fierce, he would still die a tragic death under such crossfires!
The moment Elder Black Water's corpse landed on the ground, it immediately disappeared. It was as though this piece of land had become alive and was consciously devouring the soul, blood and flesh on top of itself.
"Splash!"
The Black Water Array disappeared at once. A few Black Water Xuan Snakes appeared and were killed at once too.
"Thanks for the help, leader!"
The trapped True Elemental spiritual knight walked forward with large steps and thanked Shadow Dragon Guard.
"We are all working for the Imperial Court, you're welcome!"
Shadow Dragon Guard's figure disappeared at once as he faded into the shadows. Even his spiritual aura was gone without a trace.
"Are you two okay? These Clear Spirit Jade Pills have a magical effect on healing wounds, you all can use it..."
The True Elemental spiritual knight took out two bottles and poured the medication on their wounds, "Bear the pain!"
"No problem, to be able to kill a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master, it's all worth it even if we die!"
The two True Divines chuckled.
Elder Black Water could cast his array with just a thought. The torrential black waters were overwhelming and could submerge everything and anything. Furthermore, it was extremely noxious and caustic.
There were no other ways of going against such black waters other than resisting it with their True Divine bodies.
"Abominable, die!"
Before the three of them could fully recover, a lightning bolt struck from mid-air. Elder Extreme Darkness appeared with a cold look on her face, "How dare you all kill an elder of my Realm Alliance! Tell me, how do you all want to die!?"
"She is Extreme Darkness from Realm Alliance, be careful of her eyes... she..."
As the True Elemental spiritual knight exclaimed, he immediately felt an appalling and biting sense of chilliness enter his body. It immediately made him shiver in cold and a layer of frost covered his face at once.
"You killed General Han Nuo and the Grand Secretary of Wind?"
The two True Divines looked at the two heads Extreme Darkness was carrying and their expressions changed at once, "We must avenge them!"
"I've killed countless of people before! You want to look for me for revenge? I'm afraid you all have to wait until aeons later!"
Extreme Darkness suddenly smirked and added, "But now, I don't mind fulfilling your wishes! Extreme Darkness Chilly Territory!"
"Swoosh!"
The power of a prosperous land expanded and formed a spiritual territory. The skies changed at once and the moon rose from the mountains. An astonishing sense of chilliness came along as the moon rose and even froze the void around it, forcing a shadow to appear.
"All of you... have to die!"
Extreme Darkness said calmly. A tinge of bloodiness appeared in her eyes too.
"Be careful, this woman is at the 9th Tier of Illusionary Divine stage! She's only below the Sage in Realm Alliance!"
As Shadow Dragon Guard hollered, the four powerful beings immediately gathered together and stared at Extreme Darkness.
"Haha... Old fogey Red Dragon, you finally died in my hands!"
On the other side, the sky was covered in red clouds. Elder Smelter rode on the fiery dragon and emerged from the clouds with a head on his hand. The moment he saw the four powerful beings trapped by Extreme Darkness, his eyes lit up, "Elder Extreme Darkness, I'll come and help you!"
"Scram!"
Extreme Darkness' spiritual will could be felt. Her intention to kill was so strong that even Elder Smelter was shocked. He knew that if he were to take advantage of the situation, she would have dared to deal with him too! Because she was a lunatic!
"Till now, Extreme Darkness' character has not changed at all..."
Elder Smelter sighed, "I can't believe Black Water actually died? It's all caused by being too high profile... Hehe, I wonder how's my young friend doing?"
As Elder Smelter looked down and took a few glances, he quickly noticed Fang Yuan who was at the edge of the battlefield. He then appeared shocked, "He's at such a stage?"
...
On the edge of the battlefield.
A primaeval giant was fighting against two giants with tiger and crane tattoos respectively. This primaeval giant was at a huge advantage and pushed its opponents to their limits.
"Impossible..."
The Tiger and Crane Divines looked baffled as they could not believe how they were being defeated by a new True Divine!
"There's nothing impossible in this world! Old fogeys, the time is up for both of you!"
Fang Yuan guffawed. At the same time, he was constantly paying attention to the entire battlefield.
Currently, numerous True Divine martial artists, True Elemental spiritual knights and even 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters had already died. The moment their corpses landed on the ground, they were quietly devoured by the breath of the earth. It was a rather shocking sight to behold.
'They are even using the powerful beings as blood sacrifices!'
Fang Yuan felt a chill inside his heart, 'Most importantly... even Da Qian side is allowing it to happen and not stopping it. It means they must be confident everything will be still under their control, or they had already grasped the counter to the 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array! Is the 9 Heavenly Sky Net Array ready?'
This 9 Heavenly Sky Net Array was built from the heavenly will as its foundation. The one Fang Yuan cast in Planet Earth Realm was just an incomplete version of it which only had one array eye.
However, Da Qian Imperial Court had been preparing for half a year! Its ambitions would be imaginable!
'The complete version of this sky net array can quietly envelop the heavens and earth. Even if it's activated, we will have no clue that it's activated already...'
Suddenly, the mists surrounding the battle inside the void in mid-air dispersed. Indeed, the five Prominent Divine dream masters had already forced the three other sages into a corner and victory was imminent.
"Now!"
Fang Yuan quickly seized this opportunity as the Tiger and Crane Divines was realising what was happening in the battle between the sages. At this time, their thoughts were not focused and Fang Yuan suddenly made his move.
"Chaos Divine Fist! Kill!"
Fang Yuan roared and both his fists struck out with insurmountable force, as though it was creating the world and splitting apart the heavens and earth.
This was a creative move Fang Yuan obtained from the 7 Constellations Sword Array. Although it could not really break the world and reconfigure earth, fire, wind and water, it still bore some meaning related to the mythology of Pangu creating the universe.
"Oh no!"
Facing such deadly fists, the Tiger and Crane Divines finally realised the lethal mistake they committed.
Even though they tried their best to overestimate Fang Yuan's power, they could not imagine he was hiding his martial arts skills up till just now!
"Bang!"
The giant of Pangu Eagle Body roared and struck a punch too.
This earth-shattering punch landed on the body of the tiger giant and immediately caused it to disintegrate and turn into sparks of light scattering.
"Blergh!"
Lefty Tiger Ambassador's expression changed at once as he retched up a stream of blood.
"Big brother!"
After Righty Crane Ambassador saw how severely injured his brother was, he stopped for a moment and looked backwards.
And just at that instant, he no longer had the chance to escape.
"You, stop too!"
Fang Yuan opened up his arms and the Pangu giant behind him made the same action and surrounded the crane giant before giving it a tight hug!
"Bang!"
The martial artist Divine Body exploded. The minds of two True Divines connected with each other as they fell to the ground with severe injuries and their lives hanging on a thread.
Fang Yuan took a few steps forward. Suddenly, he frowned and immediately struck three punches to the left, "Who dares to ambush me?"
Light rays distorted and a midget looking old man emerged. His body was still retreating backwards rapidly, "Oh my god! How come the youngsters nowadays are more and more per-ver-ted!"
"Old fogey, how dare you!?"
Fang Yuan bellowed in anger, "Just a mere True Divine that learnt some assassination tactics and you think you are Shadow Dragon Guard? Chaos Divine Fist! Die!"
Fang Yuan's angry roar condensed and forcefully penetrated into this old man's sea of consciousness.
Although Fang Yuan was not as powerful as Superior Wu Zun who could turn his will into a physical object, his murderous aura and mind power were still the strongest amongst these powerful beings.
Whereas, this old man was a once famous True Divine who was well versed in assassination tactics. Although he was mighty looking, he was not good at face-to-face fights. With just a move from Fang Yuan, he was already as good as crippled.
After he regained his sense, he suddenly saw the fist coming for him in front of him.
This was an earth-shattering fist!
"Bang!"
The old man tried to block the fist with his arms and he flew backwards. Nevertheless, he could not escape from the punch. Immediately, a mist of blood covered the skies.
WIth just a fist, this nameless True Divine died in an instant!
"Chi! Chi!"
Blood landed on the ground and immediately disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was as though it was met with a greedy big mouth which quickly devoured it.
Seeing such, Fang Yuan's face turned slightly gloomy. He then arrived in front of the Tiger and Crane Divines.
"No... don't kill me..."
The more powerful a person was, the more afraid he was of death.
As True Divines, the two of them were already at the peak of the world. Faced with death, they trembled with fear.
"Tell me... what is the Imperial Court's trump card?"
Fang Yuan's voice was low as he asked, "Why are you all so loyal and fearless?"
"Trump card? We don't know!"
Righty Crane Ambassador had a puzzled look on his face as he answered.
"He really doesn't know. He still subconsciously thinks he is the Imperial Court's man and wants to fight against us dream masters!"
Seeing such, Fang Yuan felt cold in his heart.
As a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master, Fang Yuan naturally had the ability to differentiate things. After he sensed for a while, he came to a conclusion, "Something's not right! Really not right!"
"You all still have a chance to survive now! If the two of you defect to the Realm Alliance and become my slaves, I will spare your lives!"
Fang Yuan thought for a while and laid down his conditions.
"Dream on!"
"We will never work with dream masters!"
The Tiger and Crane Divines became enraged.
"Bang! Bang!"
Fang Yuan struck out both his fists, one for each True Divine, and their heads exploded at once. As Fang Yuan watched their corpses disappear into the earth, he remained silent.
The two of them refused to surrender, thus, they could only be killed. If Fang Yuan waited any longer, the opposition support would have arrived.
Such unyielding resolute was unbelievable!
'Could it be... mind control? However, this requires the person to be wholeheartedly willing, like how I planted he Eternal Love Tribulations Imprint on Liu Mengmei... It also requires fate and coincidences and cannot be replicated... Impossible!'
Fang Yuan thought through rather bewilderedly.
"Kababoom!"
Suddenly, high in the skies, the void battlefield shattered.
Three meteors landed on top of Jade Capital city walls before revealing the figure of the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards and others.
Five streams of lights then landed orderly. They appeared unfazed and overbearing.
Seeing such, it was evident that the three sages of the Imperial Court were at a disadvantaged position in the battle.
"Whizz!"
After the sages battled it out, it was as though a signal was sent out and the powerful beings on both sides that were still fighting with each other immediately retreated. Once again, it was now a situation whereby both sides were awaiting confrontation.
