Chapter 889: Invade Like The Burning Flames

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Silence repleted the Heaven Suppressing Palace. The gods were looking all around in shock.

There were more than thirty sacred lands around, inhabited by various celestial and demon races. There were sixteen that had come, some were enemies and some belonged to Xian Tian Palace. These races had all come under the lead of their grand ancestors.

Yet, all of the enemies were cleared off in just a few hours; even the more powerful experts like Sovereign Ba and the other grand ancestors were killed without exception!

The grand ancestors like Sovereign Ba were sovereigns to a race, the designation of their position in the race.

For example, the sovereign of the Fei Yi Celestial Race wasn’t just leader to all Fei Yi in Zi Wei Galaxy, but all of the universe, including the ancient universe, including the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds!

The same applied for the Human Sovereign.

And now, sixteen of these sovereigns died in the Heaven Suppressing Palace at the hands of Zhong Yue!

As a Heavenly Deity commanding only a million gods, Zhong Yue used the [Innate Celestial Demon Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Art] to bring himself up to the level of a Creator. Then, he proceeded to slaughter the 16 sovereigns. Such merits and achievements, he could be said as the God of War!

“Invincible!”

Suddenly, a god shouted, “King Yi, invincible!”

The million gods were agitated and raised their divine weapons high up and shouted together, “King Yi, invincible! King Yi, invincible!”

A million sounds together have resonated across the vast Heaven Suppressing Palace, stunning the hearts of those around.

Winning the battle has injected strong confidence into the army, their commander has brought them the belief of eternal victory. Only through battles like this can an army grow as a unit!

One could say that Zhong Yue’s control over the Xian Tian Royal Guards had never been this high before. The Xian Tian Royal Guards now revered him as an unbeatable God of War. Even Imperial Emperor Xian Tian couldn’t shake his standing over the Xian Tian Royal Guards!

“Tidy up!” Zhong Yue ordered, “Tomorrow, we fight again!”

The million gods quickly sat in the lotus positions and recovered themselves. Zhong Yue summoned the old god over and had him check the resources in the Heaven Suppressing palace. The old god reported, “The jade liquids are enough to use for half a year, but the divine herbs and spiritual pellets can only last for three, at most, five battles. The divine materials are depleting as well. My king, you’ve forged the doors and furnaces over the months, they had used up the materials. King should report to the Imperial Emperor and ask for more resources. Or we will run out of food in three to six months time.”

Zhong Yue nodded, rays flashed across his eyes.

The jade liquids, spiritual pellets, and divine herbs were war necessities, they couldn’t be left out behind. The resources Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had sent were already on its way, but to his estimation, it would take roughly more than six months to arrive.

The downtime between battles was the hardest time they would have to endure.

“Other than that, the previous guards had brought the war equipment away with them. The warships, war chariots, war flags and banners, the godly palaces, the divine weapons, and many other treasures. These treasures were of great use in wars, whether it be as an offensive attack or simply defending the stronghold.”

The old god frowned, “Without these items, I’m afraid when we encounter a big-scale war…”

Zhong Yue nodded.

The warships were fast as lightning, the godly fortresses were hardly the best defenses, the war chariots could charge right into the enemy camps, the sky ladders could be used to climb the enemies’ walls, the godly palaces and godly halls could be used as points for various purposes, the war flags and banners to command large group of armies and bestir the war spirits; each of them have their own uses in war and were incredibly important to win a war.

But none of this was available to his Xian Tian Royal Guards. They were as poor as beggars and when placed side by side with the regular armies, they were equipped like raggedy militias formed by random commoners.

“The art of war—invade like the burning flames. We don’t have food, but the sacred lands do! The warships, fortresses, war chariots, sky ladders, and godly palaces… the sacred lands have all of them!”

A day later, Zhong Yue abruptly stood up and shouted, “Bring only the edibles and nothing else. Follow me as we trample the sacred lands around us!”

The million gods stood up and yelled in agreement. They cleared up the granaries and left everything behind. Seeing this, the old god quickly said, “My king, Imperial Emperor’s order for you is to safeguard the Heaven Suppressing Palace, do you need to leave the army behind to stand on guard?”

“No need for that!” Zhong Yue said sternly, “Saddle out!”

Yin Fanxuan frowned, “What if the enemies come and claim the Heaven Suppressing Palace?”

“Then we’ll simply take it back by force.” Zhong Yue smiled and answered casually, “Instead of staying on the defensive, a better option is to go full offensive! All those nearby poses no threat to our Xian Tian Royal Guards, it’s much easier for us to just take back the Heaven Suppressing Palace than trying to protect it all day long!”

Yin Fanxuan sighed as her admiration of him grew.

The million gods kept the three Heavens and the eight Astral Doors. They marched out from the city gate for the Fei Yi Celestial Race while Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan sat in the Kirin carriage.

After ten days of traveling, they had finally arrived at the Fei Yi’s sacred land.

The Fei Yi Celestial Race had long received news of the loss of their forces as well as their grand ancestor. Along their way to the Fei Yi’s sacred land, scouts and sentinels were closely looking at them, reporting every single move they made back to the race.

The Xian Tian Royal Guards also noticed the scouts spying on them, but Zhong Yue ordered them to disregard the scouts and went straight for the sacred land.

When they arrived, Zhong Yue raised his hand and the whole army stopped, none of them moved even a single inch. Then, Chi Song gave a stern yell and the three Heavens rose into the air. They hovered above the Fei Yi Celestial Race’s sacred land and shone a thousand times brighter than the suns.

The Xian Tian Royal Guards were galvanized into actions, they stood into eight array formations.

Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan were standing outside of the carriage, they looked toward the Fei Yi Celestial Race and saw a vigilant race readied in a defensive stance.

Their grand ancestor and the race sovereign, Sovereign Ba, may be dead, but the Fei Yi Celestial Race wasn’t left defenseless too. This was a race filled with experts, there were over a hundred Deity Emperors and even four Creators along with countless Deity Overlords and True Deities.

The Fei Yi Celestial Race was now made into an unbreakable stronghold. The array formations were in place, the cannons and archers filled the city walls and roofs, and the flag banners were fluttering in the wind.

In the city were warships powered by millions of gods hovering the air. They were all combat-ready, just waiting for a signal to be released to wars.

“Child Yi!” A Fei Yi Creator breaths, casting out his Secular World, it was strong and powerful. He shouted, “Child Yi, you dare to invade our land? How presumptuous! With just only a million gods and you have the guts to challenge our Fei Yi Celestial race! Today, you have come alive but you will not return living still!”

Zhong Yue didn’t answer, he raised his hand and swung Sovereign Ba’s decapitated head to the Fei Yi celestials. The huge snakehead destroyed a few mountains along its way before settling just right in front of the city gate.

The Fei Yi experts were enraged and right away, there were a few Deity Emperors that lead hundreds of thousand gods out from the city gate. A team of them went to retrieve Sovereign Ba’s head while the others charged for the Xian Tian Royal Guards.

Thye Xian Tian Royal Guards activated the eight array formations and clashed with the Fei Yi celestials. The eight array formations, Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui, all unleashed their powers and expanded a Secular World each!

The array formations were quick to change, slaughtering the Fei Yi experts within seconds.

The cries of battle resounded their ears. In the face of these eight array formations, even Deity Emperors were trapped in it, no matter how hard they tried, they could never fight a way out from the eight slaughtering arrays.

Meanwhile, the three Heavens were hovering high in the air, surging their powers into the Stone Sentinel Maze, enhancing its power every second!

“Not good!” The Creators in the sacred land changed their faces drastically. The warships sailed out and the banners fluttered violently. The Deity Emperors and Deity Overlords swarmed out to rescue their trapped comrades and even three of the four Creators had stepped into the battlefield, leaving only one behind to secure the sacred land’s safety.

The array formations were formed, various in kinds and large in numbers. The three Creators also cast out their Secular Worlds, striking their boundless powers on the Stone Sentinel Maze. One of the Creators even had its attack aimed at the Kirin carriage.

Yin Fanxuan gave a cold sneer and her hand quivered for a second. The three Heavens above the Kirin carriage suddenly burst into rays and deflected the Creator’s attack.

The Kirin carriage burst its power out, glimmering with colorful rays. No matter how strong the Creator was, he couldn’t leave a single scratch on the carriage at all.

On the carriage, Zhong Yue cast the [Innate Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], the totem patterns were waltzing around him and connected themselves to the Stone Sentinel Maze. A loud sound of explosion repleted the battlefield concomitant with the rise of a terrifying air. Zhong Yue’s prowess was raised all the way up to the level of a peak Deity Emperor!

The million Xian Tian Royal Guards had also disappeared in the process, they’d become part of the array formation. Now, they won’t have to worry about getting killed by those like the Creators.

In order to kill them now, the enemies would first have to break the array formation. Only when the [Innate Celestial Demon Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Art] was shattered, they would suffer casualties!

At the same time, the three Heavens were cascading light rays down onto him. The powers of the Heavens were injected into the [Innate Celestial Demon Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Art], providing him with an inexhaustible amount of arcane energy!

The three Creators charged at him with their true forms, all of them wielding their unique skills and divine weapons.

One of them had transformed his twin tails into twin whips. When the divine whips lashed out, purple lightning would form in the air with burning godly flames.

Another Creator nurtured his venom fangs into twin sabers, cutting through the array formation and lunging for Zhong Yue!

The third Creator cultivated his eyes into bright mirrors, wherever they shone, everything melted!

Zhong Yue pulled out the Innate Divine Saber. This divine saber that was forged into the level of Imperial Emperor-level weapons by Fu Shang was incredibly strong. With the flash of a saber ray, the twin whips were slashed into halves, the bright mirrors shattered, and the twin sabers were pulverized into granules!

His saber strike was like the lights of suns and moons. Wherever it slashed, Deity Emperors would cry in pain and terror, and fall from the sky; the warships were severed into halves and sent crashing to the ground; even the array formations were crushed away!

The Innate Divine Saber was far too powerful. Even though Zhong Yue was boosted to the level of a peaked Deity Emperor, he still couldn’t fully unleash its power. But even so, the array formation he was standing on and the saber he was wielding was enough to make him invincible at the Creator level!

As the saber ray ceased, the skies became painted red and the warships were reduced to debris. The Deity Emperors eventually lost their strength and fell from the sky like ragdolls.

Even the three Creators were all injured as they struggled to hold their formation while fighting with Zhong Yue!

Chi—

The saber ray that elicited despair flashed in their eyes again, and the next thing they knew, they were falling to the floor. They had never been this gravely wounded before, whether it be to their Yuan Shen or mortal body.

Meanwhile, in the Fei Yi sacred land, the only safe and sound Creator was in shock and terror. His eyes flared wide in fear as he saw Zhong Yue raising the saber and bringing it down in a slashing motion.

Krong—

The city gate and city wall was split into two halves!

The Fei Yi Creator gave a loud shriek, turned, and fled from the scene. Zhong Yue flipped the Innate Divine Saber and like a mirror, shone the saber surface at the escaping Fei Yi Creator.

The Fei Yi Creator’s deepest cultivation secrets, his flaws and openings, the Dao he cultivated, his Yuan Shen and mortal body, everything was exposed to Zhong Yue.

All of the Creator’s flaws were shown clearly to Zhong Yue!

The Innate Divine Saber has turned into a longbow and an arrow was shot out from the full drawn bow. It shot through the Fei Yi Creator’s mortal body and Yuan Shen, and brought him into the sun, nailed him on the sun’s core.

The Fei Yi Celestial Race tumbled into chaos, the clansmen brought their families, friends, and their properties away in all directions. Zhong Yue expanded the array formation and ordered, “All men, raid and plunder, invade and capture! Kill those who resist!”

Bing Rong, Huo Rong, and the other Fuxi leaders lead the army and swarmed into the Fei Yi sacred land. They scattered out all across and held the Fei Yi gods captives, suppressed those who resisted, and plundered their wealth!
