Chapter 1266: The Most Powerful Attack
The scene below the Saint Mountain was shocking.
A five-hundred-kilometer-long huge fissure had appeared on the plains south of Saint Mountain. There were also huge pits on the ground. From the fissure and the pits, hordes of undead were pouring forth.
On the vast plains, more than twenty million martial artists were present, all with their divine s.h.i.+elds s.h.i.+ning and weapons dancing as they battled the undead to the death.
At every moment, the undead was being destroyed and turned into minced flesh; the plains had long been dyed black. Of course, humans were being slaughtered as well. Their bodies were then filled with a black aura as they were silently dragged downwards by the Devil Star Vines.
In the skies above, a group of formidable martial artists with frightening auras were releasing their terrifying attacks on a s.h.i.+eld. That s.h.i.+eld was formed from a black aura, but the inside was visible to all. This group of martial artists was dead serious as their eyes revealed their sense of urgency as they didn’t stop their attacks for even a second. Unfortunately, that s.h.i.+eld just refused to break apart.
The people within the s.h.i.+eld, however, were behaving the opposite. Two to three million people were gathered near a Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p standing silently; their eyes were very complicated. There were fifty formidable martial artists above the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p, with forty-nine of them circling a beautiful lady as the formation they had created continued to revolve. That lady—Xing Mengwan—continued to dance and was extremely exquisite; it was picturesque even. However, the black aura continued to congregate around her and destroyed the beautiful sight.
Even more peculiar was the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p itself. Xing Mo who had taken over Wu Ni’s body, the North Thearch, the Sword Thearch, and the Beast Thearch were all sitting in front of a table. All of them were casually sipping their tea as they watched the intense battle raging beneath. Xing Mo and the North Thearch were very calm. It was as if they were spectators watching a brawling match in a ring comprised of low-cla.s.s soldiers and wild beasts. The Beast Thearch and the Sword Thearch still seemed to have a heart; a sliver of unease and pain appeared in the depths of their eyes.
The battle became even fiercer!
The number of undead was already uncountable; there was no end to them. There were probably a few hundred million of them. Among them, powerful zombie soldiers and zombie beasts numbered in the millions. These were powerful beings that could inflict harm on the Heaven Monarch martial artists.
A faint black fog enveloped thousands of kilometers as the sky steadily darkened. The black fog was made up of the corpse auras coming from the zombie soldiers and zombie beasts. The longer the battle ensued, the thicker the fog was and the more danger the alliance army was in. If their divine s.h.i.+elds were corroded and broken apart, they would die.
Many people and clans had already started to think about retreating. However, there were undead everywhere. It was impossible for them to break out in the near future. If they tried to fly, that would be even more dangerous. From the looks of the attacks Jiang Yi and company were facing, they would die even easier in the sky.
The most important thing was… even if they fled, where could they go?
Where would be safe in this world? Once the alliance army was defeated, they would be hunted by Xing Mo, the North Thearch, the Sword Thearch, the Beast Thearch, and others.
Once someone broke through, that would trigger a route; the Stellarsky Domain would be doomed then. Hence, no one dared to be the first to retreat. That person would bear infamy for ages and be ridiculed and humiliated their entire lives.
Many strong zombie soldiers and zombie beasts, as well as those that could fly, were heading towards Jiang Yi and company. As they were the strongest humans present, they naturally became the biggest targets for the undead.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
A huge undead dragon wailed and headed towards Jiang Yi. That huge dragon was still bleeding, and before it neared, its corpse aura surged forward first and enveloped Jiang Yi. At the same time, its huge dragon tail swished with a loud sound and smashed towards Jiang Yi, wanting to kill him.
“Get lost!”
Jiang Yi had released his Divinity Slayer many times but still could not break through the s.h.i.+eld. He was very angry at this moment, and he vented on this undead dragon. His Fire Dragon Sword glowed as tens of thousands of fire dragons surged and smashed on the dragon.
Boom!
Jiang Yi’s seventh star sphere had transformed, and his essence force was at its peak; the strength behind such an ordinary attack had also risen. Tens of thousands of small fire dragons blew apart the undead dragon’s rotten flesh as the dragon was sent flying. It heavily smashed into a small mountain in the distance.
Roar!
The dragon’s wings extended as it flew up once again; they were undead and could not feel pain. They did not have any soul spirits; even if Jiang Yi had blown apart half of its body—as long as it could still move, it would still continue to attack.
The Buddha Thearch and others were also facing different degrees of attack. Of course, such attacks were negligible to them. As long as they were wary of the corpse auras and their divine s.h.i.+elds held, they were fine.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
While Jiang Xiaonu did not have a divine s.h.i.+eld, her speed was exceptional; no zombie could hit her. She had attacked the s.h.i.+eld for a while but after realizing it was futile, she dashed downwards and focused on attacking the powerful zombies. Every time her body flashed, a huge zombie would be torn apart. Her body did not even have a single drop of black blood; her claws that had a green glow were too sharp; the zombies could not withstand them.
“Clan Head, what should we do?”
Jiang Yi released his Divinity Slayer and blew that undead dragon to a fine powder. He then turned and looked at the Buddha Thearch. The number of human casualties had hit five million. If this continued, all the twenty-odd million men would perish in the Snow Region.
“All of you, coordinate with my attack. I will use the heavenly powers and release my most powerful attack!” The Buddha Thearch paused for a while before sending this voice transmission. He also sent it to the Saint Empress, the Xuan Thearch, and company for everyone to attack together.
The Buddha Thearch had not disappointed the Xuan Thearch. He had successfully realized the Higher Domain mystical ability that Yi Piaopiao had given to Xuan Thearch. The Xuan Thearch was also very generous. He gave half of his depleted supply of heavenly powers to the Buddha Thearch for him to unleash the Higher Domain mystical ability once.
“Alright!”
All the formidable martial artists’ eyes sparkled as they quietly began to gather their essence force to release their strongest attacks. The Xuan Thearch still had a little of his heavenly powers left, but he decided not to use them. After all, he was only an eight-star martial artist; even if he used it he would at most be a nine-star. He might as well give it to the Buddha Thearch to use again if required.
Buzz!
The Buddha Thearch’s entire body glowed as a five-hundred-foot-tall immense Buddha shadow appeared behind him; it made him look like a G.o.d himself. At this moment, a golden light appeared on his chest as his aura continued to rise, frightening everyone present.
“This…”
Feeling the Buddha Thearch’s aura’s surge, the Sword Thearch and Beast Thearch stood up; the North Thearch had stood up as well, wielding his divine artifact saber. The Xing Mo, however, smiled faintly and said, “I was waiting for the old monk to use his ultimate ability. Wan’er!”
“Alright!”
Xing Mengwan’s eyes lit up as ten black dragons formed from her body, and they surged forward furiously to hit the ground beneath.
At this moment, the ground in the surrounding exploded as the ten shadows flew by. The auras from the ten shadows were incredible; they were probably zombie sovereigns and the strongest among the undead. The ten separately targeted the Buddha Thearch, Jiang Yi, the Saint Empress, Jiang Xiaonu, the Yin Thearch, the Night Empress, and others. Their speed was immense, and if everyone did not escape, they would definitely be hit.
“Ignore them! Attack!”
The Buddha Thearch roared as he sent forth a strike with one hand. A ten-thousand-foot-wide golden palm swept forth. Jiang Yi and the others also shouted out as they ignored the incoming black shadows and concentrated all their energies on attacking the Heaven Nether Divine Formation. If they could not break through this time, they would be utterly defeated.
The Buddha Thearch’s huge golden palm strike, Jiang Yi’s Divinity Slayer, the Xuan Thearch’s Ten Thousand Cold Beams, the Saint Empress’s Demon-Killing Seal, the Yin Thearch’s Mountain-Crus.h.i.+ng Fist, the Night Empress’s…
All the DemiG.o.ds present had released their strongest attacks simultaneously and exploded on the black s.h.i.+eld. In that instant, heaven and earth trembled. A piercing glow spread, and everyone momentarily went blind. The rumbling explosive sound from the impact made everyone go deaf. The horrifying impact from that attack had also sent humans, zombie soldiers, and zombie beasts alike flying!
However, at this moment, many humans’ soul spirits trembled as their faces revealed their joy; before they were temporarily blinded, the seemingly indestructible black s.h.i.+eld had finally been broken apart.
