Chapter 568: Chapter 301: World Fruit, Demon Suppressing Gate_2
Furthermore, he wanted to meet that person.
When Lu Yun appeared in the central square of Sky Wall City, all the Heavenly Prides were boiling with excitement.
“Greetings, Army Commander!”
At this moment, all the Heavenly Prides were dressed in armor, ready for battle.
“Commander Lu Yun, this is your exclusive battle armor.”
A Heavenly Human Realm expert who had been waiting here saw Lu Yun appear and presented a ball of light that fell in front of him.
As the light dissipated, there was a cold, majestic golden armor that radiated a formidable aura.
This armor was of course far superior to the one he received while in the Demon Suppression Army.
Without hesitation, Lu Yun refined it and replaced the mid-level Treasure Armor he was wearing before.
“Commander Lu, by the decree of the Imperial Court, the Celestial Strategy Army will immediately head to the Great Wilderness to cooperate with the Monster Extermination Army in eradicating the Demon Beasts and expanding Morigin’s territory.”
After Lu Yun finished putting on the armor, the Heavenly Human Realm expert conveyed the Imperial Court’s decision.
Lu Yun nodded, his eyes falling on the tens of thousands of Heavenly Prides below.
At this moment, apart from their identity as Morigin’s Heavenly Prides, they also had another identity – soldiers of the Celestial Strategy Army.
“Celestial Strategy Army, move out!”
In an instant, the Heavenly Prides transformed into rainbow lights and flew onto the battleships already hovering in the sky.
This battleship was also a spirit artifact, which could not be broken by anyone other than Heavenly Humans.
At this moment, the vast ships soared across the sky above Sky Wall City, leaving the Imperial City, Central Province, and heading straight for the endless Great Wilderness.
…
This was the edge of the endless Great Wilderness, close to the nine provinces, filled with chaos and violent atmosphere everywhere.
As powerful Demon Beasts emerged from the depths of the Great Wilderness, the territory previously conquered by the Monster Extermination Army was once again under the attack of these beasts.
It seemed that the Demon Beasts here wanted to compete with the Human Race for domination over this land once more.
“This is the Great Wilderness outside of the nine provinces?”
Looking at the shattered mountains on the ground and countless dead bodies, the Heavenly Prides couldn’t help but feel an intense shock in their hearts.
The strong murderous aura emanating from the ground surface was enough to suffocate an ordinary martial artist at the Origin Fluid Realm.
Along with the Celestial Strategy Army, there was also an old Heavenly Human powerhouse named Yang Wuji, who suggested to Lu Yun by his side:
“Commander Lu, we have already entered the endless Great Wilderness. Because of the appearance of numerous powerful Demon Beasts, the wilderness has become extremely dangerous. We should go to the Demon Suppressing Pass to recuperate first.”
“Alright.”
Lu Yun nodded. Although these Heavenly Prides were independent, they still had to rely on the Monster Extermination Army in the endless Great Wilderness.
Soon, a majestic city pass appeared in front of them.
It spanned nearly a hundred thousand miles, towering over the endless wilderness, with the surrounding mountains appearing somewhat small in comparison.
On the inner side of this pass, one could see dense spider-web-like cracks crisscrossing, revealing that it had experienced intense battles.
And on that wall, there was a bloody smell emanating, radiating an awe-inspiring and soul-shaking aura.
Demon Suppressing Pass!
This was the safest barrier Morigin had developed in the endless Great Wilderness, completely blocking the Demon Beasts from invading the nine provinces.
One could say that the Human Race of Ling Province, Yun Province, and Ying Province rarely encountered the impact of the Demon Beasts because of the existence of the Demon Suppressing Pass.
Lu Yun closed his eyes and carefully felt the pressure from the towering wall of the Demon Suppressing Pass. The more he felt it, the more he sighed with emotion.
The other Heavenly Prides, upon seeing this enormous pass, also revealed shocked and solemn expressions.
“How magnificent! I’ve only heard other Saint Children mention the Demon Suppressing Pass before, and I thought they were exaggerating. But now that I actually see it, I realize that the Demon Suppressing Pass is even more majestic and spectacular than they had described.”
“It is said that the materials used for this pass are composed of Heavenly Profound Stones and countless valuable ores. Numerous arrays and runes were constructed, making it extremely sturdy. Even a Heavenly Sword Elder cannot easily destroy it.”
“I’ve heard from the elders in my clan that after absorbing the blood of countless experts and Demon Beasts, the Demon Suppressing Pass has become even more terrifying. Even a single brick is not much weaker than a Treasure Artifact.”
“I also know some information. It’s said that this Demon Suppressing Pass does not only exist in one place. Over the past few centuries, it has been continuously advancing forward.”
The Heavenly Prides discussed among themselves, their faces all showing shock and awe.
“Hmph, when I grow up, there’s no need for this Demon Suppressing Pass since everything I see will be the Human Race’s territory.” Xiahou Ying said coldly.
“Don’t underestimate the demon beasts deep within the Great Wilderness. Their strength is much more powerful than you can imagine. Even if the Yuan Emperor personally takes action, they may not gain any advantage.” Yang Wuji said, calmness in his voice. However, everyone could feel a hint of apprehension in his tone.
Such a revered Celestial Human held such apprehension towards the demon beasts,
Moreover, he said that even if the Yuan Emperor took action, he could not eliminate these demon beast threats.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Prides, the Yuan Emperor was almost no different from a god.
After knowing that the Yuan Emperor, who was so powerful, couldn’t eradicate the demon beasts, the many Heavenly Prides couldn’t help but re-evaluate the threat of these creatures from the bottom of their hearts.
“Who goes there?”
At the moment when the battleship was about to reach the Demon Suppressing Pass, a shouted rebuke suddenly rang through the void.
Out of the void stepped a man shining brightly, riding on a flying sword and appearing in front of them.
“Heavenly Sword Elder, this is the Celestial Strategy Army formed by the Morigin Heavenly Prides. We have received the order from the Yuan Emperor to come and assist the Monster Extermination Army in eliminating the demon threat.”
Yang Wuji spoke, his tone firm and as loud as a thunderclap.
Hearing this, several powerful beings flew out of the Demon Suppressing Pass. Obviously, the news of the Celestial Strategy Army’s arrival had already reached them.
Soon, several powerful experts descended, appearing before the Heavenly Prides.
Their auras varied, but they were all extremely terrifying, standing casually in the air like unfathomable abysses.
These few people were all powerful Celestial Humans.
After surveying the Heavenly Prides, one of the most powerful-looking elders among the Celestial Humans pondered for a moment and asked, “May I ask which one of you is the Commander of the Celestial Strategy Army?”
Lu Yun flew out from the battleship, standing at a position equal to the others, and spoke softly.
“I am Lu Yun, the Commander of the Celestial Strategy Army.”
Although his voice wasn’t very loud, at this moment, it sounded like rolling thunder, even startling the Demon Suppressing Pass in the distance.
“The Celestial Strategy Army has arrived?”
“I heard that the Celestial Strategy Army is a troop composed of Heavenly Prides, with extremely powerful strength, and the weakest among them possess at least the late stage of the Rune Seed Realm.”
“Haha, with their arrival, it can greatly reduce our burden.”
Upon hearing of the arrival of the Celestial Strategy Army, the Monster Extermination Army in the Demon Suppressing Pass showed excitement.
Since half a year ago, many powerful demon beasts had emerged from the depths of the Great Wilderness. Although some of these beasts were only Seventh Rank, they could explode with strength comparable to the Eighth Stage. It was terrifying.
In order to resist the onslaught of these demon beasts, the Monster Extermination Army had suffered heavy losses. If it weren’t for the continuous support from the powerful reinforcements, the Demon Suppressing Pass might have been difficult to withstand the assault of the beasts.
“I am Huang Tianhua, and I offer my regards to Commander Lu.”
“Greetings, Commander Lu.”
The several powerful Celestial Humans all paid their respects to Lu Yun.
Although Lu Yun’s cultivation and strength were not as great as theirs, he was the Commander of the Celestial Strategy Army, a position nearly equivalent to the Monster Extermination Army Commander.
“Woohoo, woohoo…”
At that moment, a deep horn sounded from the direction of the Demon Suppressing Pass.
Hearing this horn, a solemn look appeared in the eyes of the several Celestial Humans.
“The battle is about to begin again.”
Huang Tianhua sighed. Every time the horn blew, an extremely fierce battle would ensue.
In the past, it was the Monster Extermination Army that took the initiative to attack, pursuing the demon beasts and advancing the Demon Suppressing Pass.
Now, it was the demon beasts that were actively starting wars, attacking the Demon Suppressing Pass, and trying to drive the human race out of the Great Wilderness.
“Fear not. I will settle this with a single sword.” The Heavenly Sword Elder’s Sword Intent shot through the sky, and a strand of terrifying sharpness burst forth from his eyes.
“Since the demon beasts are here, let our Celestial Strategy Army take the battle!”
Lu Yun spoke, a hint of determination in his eyes.
It had been a long time since he had contact with demon beasts, and he had forgotten the blood-soaked battles he had once fought in the East Field Giant City.
“Honorable elder, please let our Celestial Strategy Army fight, vowing not to return unless we defeat the demon beasts.”
Dugu Jue, Ye Xingxuan, and the others also spoke, their eyes filled with endless fighting spirit.
Their purpose in coming here was to slay the demon beasts, accumulate enough Luck Value, and head for the Mysterious Starry Sky.
So, when they heard the demon beasts approaching, they were filled with fighting spirit, eager to appear on the battlefield and wreak havoc.
