Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1204: Soul Stabbing Xuan Heart

The Royal Demon God Shuttle was indeed the top flying treasure during the Cloud Desolate Era. With Yuanjing driving it, they arrived in Tianfang World in just six hours.

When they arrived there, Zong Shou took in a deep cold breath.

This small world that controlled the chokepoint of dozens of space tunnels was extremely squishy.

Dozens of three million foot giant logs were spread across the world river.

The current Zong Shou didn’t know anything about the Night Demon Race like the last time.

He knew that the log came from the Tongtian World Tongtian Tree. This large world was famous for the giant tree. The entire world was a giant forest.

The largest one was this Tongtian Tree…

There were also numerous different types of trees and was seen by those who cultivated wood element spells as a shrine.

However, after the Night Demon Race occupied it, it became one of their five Country Capitals.

The Tongtian Trees they cut down became the materials used to make their warships.

The giant ships reached Earth Grade Warship level even without them spending much effort to craft.

Each ship could carry millions of troops and tens of millions of servants.

There were a full 60 giant log ships which pretty much locked down the area outside of Tianfang World.

Only the 30 odd Earth Grade Warships that Shi Ruolan commanded were travelling outside, remaining at a standstill against the Dark World Demon Court.

Those giant logs couldn’t spread out too far and they were really close to one another.

Zong Shou’s heart sank a little. Great Gan’s outer region strength was just too weak. Even if they could send more help from Cloud World and Yuanlian World, it would be tough to transport them over.

The Royal Demon God Shuttle was extremely quick. It was top of the world, so obviously, it wasn’t included.

Under Yuanjing’s control, it turned into a streak of light. Before the Night Demon Race Warships even reacted, they had already entered.

The few Saint Realm experts in the few giant logs attacked and a few strong auras spread through the air to try to stop them.

However, before they got close, eight streaks of Royal Demon God Light struck them.

Zong Shou also held a flying knife in his hand. He was waiting to kill one of them.

However, after the few Night Demon Saint Realms attacked, they didn’t do anything else.

Wei Xu, Xufu, and Yuanjing seemed to be worrying about something. They had solemn expressions and stopped attacking.

Zong Shou had a thought. It was definitely because an End Realm from their side attacked.

Although he couldn’t sense what he did, to make Wei Xu and Yuanjing feel fear, he had to be an End Realm Saint Venerable!

“What happened?”

A weird look appeared in Zong Shou’s eyes, “With the 12 Copper Men, what is there to fear? Are we weaker…”

“No!”

The person who spoke wasn’t one of the three End Realm but Mingri Xuan, “It is the Soul Stabbing Xuan Heart Needle, one of the top God Treasures of the Night Demon Race. It can be activated from a billion miles away and said to be a technique that neglects spacetime. Although it can’t harm End Realm experts, it can restrain one or two. It seems like they are planning on using that to counter the Twelve Copper Men…”

The chaos ability of the twelve Copper Men could pretty much suppress all cultivators.

However, if one wasn’t in that range, then it wouldn’t work.

Along with that technique that neglected spacetime, in other words, this God Treasure was an instant cast.

Even the chaos wouldn’t be able to suppress it.

Zong Shou didn’t dare to believe that as he looked towards Xufu and Wei Xu with a questioning gaze. Seeing the two of them nod their heads, Zong Shou’s brow rose up. He estimated that this God Treasure would be slightly threatening towards End Realm cultivators. Even a Saint Realm would only be slightly injured.

However, beneath Saint Realm, it was unstoppable.

He was okay. With the Illusionary Heart Mirror and God Refined Sword, that needle couldn’t deal with him. However, if it was targetting Shi Ruolan, Zong Yuan and the others, they were helpless…

It was to make him afraid, that even if he had the King Path God Treasure like the 12 Copper Men, that he didn’t dare to use it?

Since it had the strength of neglecting spacetime, then why not kill his generals one by one?

“I heard about this item when I was in the outer region!”

Xufu laughed bitterly, “It is one of their most frightening weapons. It is the Race Protecting Artifact. I heard that the closer it was, the stronger it was. If it was only 1,000 feet, then even End Realms could be injured. Just now, we were struck. Although our bodies are fine, if we were God Realm, we would have been injured. The needle should be 13 worlds away. It seems like he is afraid of the 12 Copper Men too.”

Wei Xu was deep in thought while Yuanjing just laughed coldly. Her eyes were filled with rage.

Mingri Xuan laughed, “Actually, there is no need to think that much about it. The Dark World Demon Court just wants to warn us and make you worried. The needle actually has a weakness; although it is a God Treasure, it takes three days to be used once. Each time it consumes a large amount of energy. Even an End Realm Saint Venerable wouldn’t be able to maintain it which is why the Night Demon Race uses blood sacrifice. Three or more Saint Realm experts used the blood of 100,00 people…”

Zong Shou understood. It neglected spacetime and when it was used it would have already stabbed the soul and slain the heart.

This was much weirder than those evil techniques from the divination experts!

If one could use it unlimited times, the Demon Race would have swept the world.

Speaking of which, they were the ones who were more worried.

If they dared to use it, then with the strength of the 12 Copper Men, it would be enough to sweep all the Night Demon Saint Realm…

“Actually, there is a way to counter it…”

Mingri Xuan continued, “I have some achievements in the Talisman Dao. If the few End Realms are willing to aid me, I can craft a Seven Life Destroying Life Protecting Talisman which can defend against it. However, it is tough to craft and I can only complete one every three days. Then, it will only last for a month. Your Majesty has to choose who to wear it.”

Zong Shou instantly understood. Mingri Xuan could only make 10 a month.

Each could protect a life. He had to let his subjects wear them based on their closeness to him.

It was really a tough question for him…

If he really did that and protected the lives of Kong Yao and the others, what would happen if other people found out?

10 of them was far from enough.

Just as Zong Shou was about to ask, Mingri Xuan shook his head, “This concerns the Fate Dao and only I can craft it. The materials are expensive and I can only produce for half a year.”

Zong Shou broke into a laugh. A moment later, he nodded, “I am grateful!”

He was grateful towards Mingri Xuan. Without him, Kong Yao, Zong Yuan and the other people would be threatened right away.

He knew that this Mingri Xuan definitely wanted to become Great Gan Grand Teacher.

He had been wary and objected, but now his attitude changed. Having this person who was good at divination and who had grasped numerous techniques, it was really good for him.

At least they would be able to counter the evil techniques of the enemy country.

Yuanjing drove the shuttle and accelerated once more.

“If there is anything else, we can talk once we enter the Tianfang World!”

The God Shuttle flashed and sped through the world layer.

With restriction techniques blocking off, it felt like it was extremely tough. Yuanjing also didn’t dare to use strength to break the world protecting formation.

Luckily Tianfang World reacted quick enough, releasing the formation to allow the shuttle in.

The person who came over to receive him was Lieque and Yexuan Li Xin. The latter two looked good, but Lieque was really solemn and his eyes were bloodstained.

When he saw Zong Shou fly out, that ashen white face smiled, and he half knelt on the ground.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

He laughed bitterly, “I didn’t let you down, to lose this world before you came. However, we have lost much, I am ashamed…”

An expression of relaxation appeared in his eyes and his tone was filled with self mocking intent.

The Dark World Demon Court army truly started to attack since nine days ago.

To be able to defend to now was already his limit.

If Qiuwei and Zhuang Yu didn’t send over a large number of troops and if Li Xin didn’t rush over in time to take over the cavalry, they might have already lost.

Zong Shou had a solemn expression. At the moment, Tianfang World was not as prosperous as it was half a year ago.

Looking out, half of the buildings were tattered. There were also many corpses all around. The signs of war could be seen all around.

It was obvious that the Night Demon Army had broken through several times.

However, thinking about it, there were close to a billion servants and 40 million Night Demon troops, so Zong Shou didn’t find it weird.

The Night Demon’s 12 Jiedu Ministers were dealt with by Lieque by only two million troops. To defend for nine days, he really was worth his name as Unparalleled Famous General!

“It is okay. To have you join my dynasty is one of the great fortunes of my life!”

Zong Shou laughed and then helped Lieque up. Then, he smiled and nodded to Yexuan and Lixin.

Yexuan didn’t feel much but Lieque’s body shook. Lixin’s eyes flashed. Shortly after, it disappeared.

After seeing the three of them, Zong Shou’s emotions turned even more ice cold.

It said that they had three million troops, but from what he saw, 20% had died or were injured.

Along with the 300,000 he brought, there were just 2,700,000 troops.

“The situation isn’t good.”

Something gentle touched his arm which calmed him down.

“Speaking of which, this is the first time you’ve left the Cloud World…”
