Divine Brilliance

“It should be the Illusionary Heart Mirror! Don’t forget that this person is the Fox Race King!”

The golden-armored Night Demon entered deep thought, thinking back to the news he’d heard not long ago.

“I heard that the Eight-Tail Xue Family has already brought the Illusionary Heart Mirror and returned to the Cloud World.”

“Illusionary Heart Mirror? I heard that the Gantian Mountain Zong Family only has Seven-Tail Blood?”

Jia Mingluo frowned, as he only had a rough impression of the Cloud World. He knew the rough situation of those Cloud World races and the special treasures that had made the Night Demons suffer ten thousand years ago. In the current Cloud World, they also had their own information sources.

He shook his head and stopped worrying about it. If it wasn’t for that mirror, the blade wouldn’t have been able to harm him.

“If those Shadow Demons learn about the appearance of the Mirror, they won’t be happy.”

Scoffing coldly, his smile was filled with a mocking intent. He felt slightly curious, “Since that person has the Mirror, why would he come so openly? With the Sky Fox Illusionary technique, he could come without being noticed!”

“That I don’t know!” The golden-armored Night Demon shook his head. Although he was old and smart, he wouldn’t waste time thinking about such things. Such matters where he could not get an answer weren’t worth wasting effort on. “The emperor sent me here to test the strength of the Cloud World before the spiritual wave. Maybe this person had the same thought.” Only that explanation made sense…

Jia Mingluo frowned, he could tell that it wasn’t the case. However, he was also too lazy to dwell on this matter.

“I heard that this person is only seventeen. Although he is from a Monster Race and isn’t one of the choices for God Emperor, he is still our enemy! The place we are attacking is less than sixteen thousand miles away from his Gantian Mountain. This person knows the theory of how the teeth would be cold without lips, and he would not sit still and not do anything.” Prince Jia Mingluo clenched his fists. “If we want to enter the Cloud World, this kid and Gantian Mountain will be our greatest opponents!”

That golden-armored Night Demon smiled when he heard that. “From what I observed, that Great Shang commander doesn’t think that way! He seems to be preparing something, there are evil spirits. That cloud ocean is nearly turning red from the blood…”

“It is just a blood-worshipping technique! He really thinks we don’t know anything? Using the souls and blood of ten million people to seal the world region. Who knew that the Cloud World had such a technique passed down?”

His tone was filled with disdain and mockery. Jia Mingluo laughed, “Our Night Demon race is the most fierce, and one which loves to kill the most in the eyes of the many worlds. However, we do not easily kill our own people, and we wouldn’t take the blood of our own people to sacrifice.”

“You can’t put it that way! After all, the human race is different from us, this concerns the survival of an entire race and is hugely important…” The golden-armored Night Demon shook his head, but he was unable to think of any words to retort.

“Since we know about what that Great Shang commander is planning, then let’s prepare for that.” It was a really relaxed tone, not bothering about that ten million humans Blood Sacrifice Formation.

The Night Demon Race had once conquered thousands of worlds, and they had seen many such situations.

Suddenly the void shook violently. The two of them looked up at the source of the shaking.

One was unable to see in the chaotic currents, but the other could sense two extremely strong forces clashing.

The both of them knew that there were two Saint Realm cultivators engaged in battle.

The Cloud World had five World Protector Venerables, who were all Saint Realm. If the Night Demons couldn’t defeat them, then their army wouldn’t be able to invade the Cloud World.

———–

Thirty minutes later, his eyebrows rose in joy.

“Success!”

Actually, it couldn’t be considered a victory. Those two huge and vast powers were still clashing above them.

With their spiritual sense, they did not know the results. They could only sense that both sides were retreating like a flood. The result was probably a stalemate.

Even that was enough for him!

However, the moment his joy appeared, a sword light charged down from the void.

It was swift and vast, inconceivably quick, nearly making the two of them think that it was an illusion. Before they were able to react, the sword glow slashed down on the giant tree trunk.

One slash, and it directly caused this huge giant trunk to break apart! Countless Night Demons were stuck by the sword energy, their bodies scattering as they died.

Some of them were even tossed into the void, shredded into a million pieces by the chaotic void cracks.

The sword light came and left in an instant. Just as it was about to change direction, another strong power reached over to force it back. In that instant, it totally disappeared. All that was left was the bad state of the world river.

Jia Mingluo’s face was ashen white as he exchanged glances with the golden-armored Night Demon beside him. They could see the shock and surprise in one another. That was the Sixth Saint Realm!

Was that from the Sword Sect? Or was there a Sixth World Protector? That sword was really sharp!

The giant tree trunk was something that even God Realm Cultivators couldn’t shake! Saint Realm cultivators needed to use some strength to do so… yet that person smashed it with one clean strike!

Looking forwards, Jia Mingluo’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. The ten million troops he had brought had been instantly reduced by sixty percent. What remained were a bunch of heavily injured and tough-to-heal soldiers.

The Saint Realm power was actually so strong…

Only a while later did he take in a deep breath, “No worries! My elites still remain. If I am careful, we still can sweep the Cloud World!”

The golden-armored Night Demon’s brows rose when he heard that. Then he laughed; although they had suffered a setback, they weren’t dispirited.

Only such a person was worth his service!

Using his spiritual sense, he found that sword intent had totally retreated.

Although they had suffered heavy losses, the two of them were still prepared to enter the Cloud World.

——

A thousand miles away from the two of them. Zong Shou personally witnessed when the sword light chopped down, his expression also serious.

Since he had already used the Illusionary Heart Mirror, he wasn’t in a rush to leave. The Royal Demon God Shuttle stopped at its original spot, leisurely listening to the two invaders speak.

“This is the Saint Realm?” It wasn’t that he had never met Saint realm people before. Dragon Shadow, Aokun, that Tanqiu who he didn’t know which senior master he was… three of them.

However, this was the first time he had seen a Saint go all-out to attack.

As expected, they did have the strength to shock heaven and earth… smaller worlds would probably be shattered by that strike!

He heaved a sigh of relief. This Night Demon Race’s strength had exceeded his expectations.

If this giant tree trunk charged into the Cloud World, they could forget about fighting this war. They could just directly surrender or escape out of the Cloud World.

He drove the shuttle to travel out of the World River. He silently collected dozens of pieces of the great tree.

Taking a piece and observing it carefully, his brow furrowed, eyes filled with a weird expression.

What wood was this strong? It was so strong that his spiritual sense couldn’t pierce it. In his hands, it was as heavy as iron.

Zong Shou took out his sword and slashed down.

After a low clang, the sword light was actually repelled, and he nearly injured himself. He only left a pale white mark on this piece of scrap.

Zong Shou was not shocked, but delighted instead, his eyes lighting up. “What a good thing!”

The expressions of the women in the shuttle all changed. Even a fool would know that it was a good item. Zong Shou used probably thirty or forty percent of his strength on it, but was only able to hurt the surface. If this was used to craft spiritual artifacts, how strong would it be?

What Zong Shou thought about was using the wood as dragon bone, remodeling the six space ships. It would be perfect!

If he had enough of them, he could even add them to the outer hull, saving a great deal of resources. Within the World River, he could do whatever he wanted then!

Flying about, Zong Shou tossed all his worries aside to collect the floating wood debris. He only complained that the Heaven and Earth Bag he brought wasn’t big enough.

The other woman, apart from Kong Yao who had nothing to use, also joined in the collecting.

Even Jingyin collected several pieces. They were all three thousand feet or more long. Anyways, the Heaven and Earth bag was big enough, and they didn’t need to worry about it not fitting.

Zong Shou pretty much filled the Lingjie Ring and five Heaven and Earth Bags, such that there was no space remaining.

He didn’t bother with those below six thousand feet. All he collected were the larger ones.

As for those ten thousand feet and above, which could be made into warship dragon bone, they were shoved into the Flying Shuttle.

This Royal Demon God Shuttle could be big or small. It could transform to a finger size or become several hundred thousand feet long, not affecting its travelling speed.

Actually, the Shuttle itself was a Cloud Ship.

The Shuttle turned into a light, and everywhere it passed the large pieces of wood were all swept clear. It was covered in an illusion, and the nearby Night Demons couldn’t sense anything.

In just a few breaths, Prince Jia Mingluo sensed something. “Zong Shou!” he hollered, and a dark black saber glow struck over.

Perhaps because it was unable to deduce the exact location of the Shuttle, that strike covered the entire space, sweeping out.

Zong Shou chuckled and knew that it was time for him to leave. Although he wasn’t Spirit Realm, he could borrow the strength of the Avici Throne to fight for him.

But beside the shadow was the golden-armored Night Demon. Who knew what spell that fellow was preparing, his heart jumped on seeing him.

The Illusionary Heart Mirror behind him shuddered slightly.

Zong Shou shook his head and looked ahead with some regret.

The giant tree trunk was shattered. Due to the insides being hollow and the sword energy strike, it was broken into many pieces.

Before him was one of the largest pieces. It was three hundred thousand feet long and twenty thousand feet wide. Using it as a material, it was enough to build a spaceship.

He wouldn’t need to spend money and could just carve it. It would be able to make the sturdiest spaceship.

Thinking about the consequences, Zong Shou gave up decisively, halting all plans of dragging it into the Cloud World.
