Chapter 422 - 407: Sensation

Chapter 422: Chapter 407: Sensation

...

The sky was dim. Shattered clouds, stained with a myriad of bleak Dao Rhythms, spoke of the battle’s brutality.

The land was a barren wasteland, pockmarked with collapsed craters. Enormous, mountain-sized tiger fangs jutted from the ground, alongside various strange and enigmatic flames that burned in the gloom.

At this very moment, the soldiers of the Third Army were wandering through the ruins, searching.

Let alone the Spiritual Objects born from the concentrated blood qi and Dao Rhythms, the mere traces of techniques left behind by the crowd of Young Great Saints were a massive opportunity for these soldiers.

Take Cha Mo, for example!

Although Cha Mo was the first Young Great Saint to die at the hands of Fang Yang, he was not weak at all.

On the contrary, Cha Mo’s mastery of the Poison Dao had reached its peak, and he had even used that expertise to branch out into other disciplines.

When he attacked, countless people would turn pale with fright, terrified of being tainted by even a wisp of his poisonous miasma.

Against an ordinary cultivator, Cha Mo’s Poison Dragon Dharma Aspect was practically a killing machine!

What’s more, the Young Great Saints who fell on this battlefield included more than just Cha Mo, a specialist in the Poison Dao. There was also Zhong Zunyang, who cultivated the Earth Dao; Xiao Sanxuan, who cultivated the Fire Dao; and Qi Xuanxian, who cultivated the Way of Armaments...

To gain an opportunity from this and change one’s fate was no empty boast!

RUMBLE...

A thunderous roar once again echoed from the distant sky.

Everyone looked up to see the sky filled with a dense formation of flying warships. War drums thundered as cold light glinted off iron armor. Their momentum was overwhelming.

While this army’s might was not quite on par with the one led by the Great Xuan’s Eldest Princess, it was not far behind.

They could hold their own against one another.

This was the Fourth Army!

At long last, Silver Phoenix, Layman Yue, and the others had arrived, leading the Fourth Army.

"It’s over?!"

Layman Yue was filled with shocked uncertainty, his old face a mask of confusion.

’This... This isn’t right.’

’Why is there no sign of the Great Xuan’s Eldest Princess and her forces on this battlefield?’

’Could it be that the Great Xuan’s Eldest Princess and the others never came?’

Yet the devastated battlefield proved beyond a doubt that an incredibly fierce war had taken place here!

If nothing else, the void rifts hanging in the sky, which blocked their path and forced them to a halt, were the best evidence.

’After eliminating all other possibilities, only the last one remains.’

Silver Phoenix’s pearly white face was dazed; she found it hard to believe. ’That means Fang Yang and his people... they repelled the Great Xuan’s Eldest Princess, the Seventh Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, and the White Tiger Demon Lord.’

At this thought, Silver Phoenix, Layman Yue, and the other leaders of the Fourth Army all gasped, their scalps prickling in shock.

The Great Xuan’s Eldest Princess, the Seventh Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Qi Xuanxian, Xiao Sanxuan, Zhong Zunyang, the White Tiger Demon Lord...

Not one of them was an easy opponent. All were top-class Young Great Saints of astonishing power.

The White Tiger Demon Lord, in particular, had made a name for himself throughout the Eight Domains long ago. The Red Flame Demon Country viewed him as a Chosen One of quasi-Destiny, someone who had the potential to contend with Sen Yue.

"It’s truly unbelievable, but it seems to be the only possibility."

"Amazing. Even if all they did was repel them, it’s a testament to the Kunpeng Ancestor’s incredible skill."

"I wonder what price the Third Army had to pay. I bet at least a few Young Great Saints fell, didn’t they?"

"..."

The other leaders of the Fourth Army were overcome with emotion.

In their eyes, it was already an incredible feat for Fang Yang to have simply held his ground.

All that was left was for them, the Fourth Army, to clean up the aftermath.

...

「A quarter of an hour later.」

The intelligence report from the battle was delivered by Su Xi and relayed to the leaders of the Fourth Army.

In that moment, Silver Phoenix fell silent. Layman Yue’s jaw dropped. The other Young Great Saints were stunned speechless.

’Is this real?’

’Fang Yang is at Tier Five Peak, and he possesses two Dharma Aspects—Kunpeng and Golden Crow—in a single aperture?’

’In this battle, the Third Army didn’t lose a single Young Great Saint.’

’On the contrary, the opposing army’s Young Great Saints fell one after another, and even the White Tiger Demon Lord was killed by Fang Yang’s hand!’

"They were all Young Great Saints, yet the Kunpeng Ancestor was able to slaughter the White Tiger Demon Lord and a host of others!"

This information was far too shocking.

Now, as it circulated through the ranks of the Fourth Army, it left the entire force shaken to the core, trembling in body and mind.

If it weren’t for the Memory Stones and the projected images of the shattered Dao Rhythms, they would never have believed it, no matter what anyone said.

Even with such items for verification, some people were still dazed and skeptical.

It was just too outrageous.

’If this is real, with that kind of power, has Fang Yang truly not stepped into the domain of a Young Venerable?’

"The Kunpeng Ancestor has truly come into his own. Unless the two Young Venerables make a move, no one can stop him!"

Someone among the leadership exclaimed in awe.

Such a brilliant battle record brought them profound joy, but it also couldn’t help but spark a sense of fear.

The fear was that if Fang Yang were ever to be swayed by Demonic Thought, he could, almost single-handedly, slaughter both the Third and Fourth Armies.

"He’s only thirty this year, isn’t he? Truly incredible!" Layman Yue whispered, feeling that he was witnessing the rise of an invincible expert.

It was plain to see that Fang Yang was destined for a brilliant future.

An existence like him, as long as he developed smoothly, would inevitably become a Great Saint. With some effort, he could even easily become a Sub-Venerable on par with Han Wu.

He was even a powerful contender for the legendary rank of Tier Nine Venerable.

Sen Yue, the Great Sun Dragon Lady...

No matter who they were, any top prodigy with ambitions for the rank of Venerable was fated to be unable to ignore him.
