Chapter 1190: Like A Dream
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Divine Troops did not have a leader!
The loss of their commander caused them to further suffer from poor coordination, eventually leading to a huge deterioration of their battle prowess.
Following this defeat, the next thing the G.o.dly Divine Troops did was quickly fall into their individual battle formations.
The battle plan of the Divine Troops was very simple. They would basically corner all the races in this realm and pressure them.
If Luo Yunyang had not entered the Vast Sky Sacred Realm, didn’t possess the attribute regulator, and had not obtained items like the Six-Dragon Sun Striking Bow, the Human Race would not even have stood a chance against the destruction of the Divine Troops.
However, the appearance of Luo Yunyang has caused these Divine Troops to lose their best fighter and leader. This loss reduced their fighting efficiency by about 50 percent.
The Taiyi Yuan Venerates who were with Luo Yunyang quickly activated their individual sky laws to construct individual realms and dragged the Divine Troops within.
Luo Yunyang, who had been forced to become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate, watched the bewildered expression of the commander of the Divine Troops.
By right, he should have killed the commander the moment he had a chance to. However, as he was about to do so, he intuitively felt that something did not seem quite right.
Or rather, this commander had a somewhat peculiar expression that Luo Yunyang found strange.
That was why Luo Yunyang did not kill him right away. Instead, he used his mind power to envelop the commander.
“Which Great Era is this?” the commander asked hoa.r.s.ely with a certain level of agitation in his voice.
Luo Yunyang, who had reached this level of cultivation, could tell that his opponent’s expression was genuine.
“The last one. Does this mean that its plan is going to be successful?” the commander of the Divine Troops asked in alarm.
“No, it has not succeeded yet. You… Since you were able to defeat me, this means that you still stand a chance of preventing him from carrying out the next phase of his plan.”
“Sir, don’t you think that you owe me an explanation?” Luo Yunyang asked.
“I have no idea where to start,” the commander replied hesitantly.
“If I told you that this body does not belong to me, would you believe me?”
“I would believe you.” Luo Yunyang glanced at the commander, who seemed to have calmed down.
“Thank you for that. As unreliable as this sounds, it is still the truth.” The commander smiled.
“This body really isn’t mine!”
The commander stared blankly as though he was deep in thought.
“I… I believe that I was captured. I have no idea what happened after I was captured.”
“Regardless of whether you can recall what happened, you are still an opponent of mine, so I hope that you will allow yourself to be captured,” Luo Yunyang replied. “Otherwise, I will have to get rid of you right now.”
While he felt that the commander was lying, he still wanted to make sure that he was in control. Otherwise, he would rather ensure the elimination of this threat immediately.
There was a faint look of annoyance on the commander’s face. It was pretty obvious that he had also been a lofty, proud individual back when he’d existed.
Ultimately, his silence replaced his annoyance and he replied, “Alright, I am prepared to be captured. I have been defeated after all. However, I still hope that you will give me a chance to restrain my subordinates myself. They are a bunch of pitiful people as well.”
“Alright, I will give you a chance to reign in your subordinates, but I would like to remind you that even at your strongest form, you were no match for me,” Luo Yunyang replied matter-of-factly.
“Right now, you do not even stand a chance!”
“99th Dao, I am no match for you indeed. It looks like the destiny of this world is going to depend on the last generation,” the commander said as the energy of sky laws surrounded him.
Instantly, the Divine Troops who were isolated for single battles were quickly expelled from the various separated people with dazed looks on their faces.
The commander looked at Luo Yunyang after summoning his isolated subordinates.
It was obvious that he was looking at Luo Yunyang to check if there were any opportunities for a counterattack given the increased number of aides in battle. To his surprise, Luo Yunyang did not even flinch as a mounting surge of energy began pressuring him.
The man before him was not someone he was capable of stopping.
Yuan Zi and the rest also quickly returned from the individual realms they had constructed and stared at the commander warily.
“Do not attack.” Luo Yunyang commanded Yuan Zi and the others, who were ready to pounce. Yuan Zi and the rest immediately halted upon hearing his command.
However, their spiritual consciousness had been locked on their opponents since earlier.
“Now that your subordinates are fine, it is time for you to keep your promise!” Luo Yunyang said as he activated the Great Extinguis.h.i.+ng Black h.e.l.l Portrait and enveloped the Divine Troops and their commander.
There was no form of resistance from the Divine Troops or their commander, but just as the portrait was about to engulf them, his gaze fell on one of the returning troops.
Although this person had already attained the status of a Taiyi Yuan Venerate, he was only a mid-tier martialist and he appeared extremely ordinary.
After listening to the lecture given by Luo Yunyang earlier, he had immediately broken through and become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate, instantly becoming one of the most well-known figures among this group of martialists!
“You must be Ying Shengping, right?”
The man known as Ying Shengping looked surprised. This was because before coming, he had only been known as Sage Ying. Ying Shengping was a name he had not used for many years.
The only ones who knew his actual name were the people who were close to him in his own world. How could the commander of the Divine Troops know his real name?
He had not observed the commander in detail ever since the battle had started. However, even after doing so, he still concluded that he had not seen him before.
How could someone he was not even acquainted with know his name?
“Who are you? How do you know the name I used to have in the past?” he asked the commander suspiciously.
“I not only know the name you had in the past, but I even know how you obtained your apprentices.h.i.+p with your master. Do you still remember that it was drizzling back then?” the commander asked gleefully.
Sage Ying would never forget that it was drizzling that day. That had been, after all, the day when his master had accepted him as a disciple.
Only one other person besides him and his master knew about this matter. While he had never actually seen for himself his master pa.s.s on, he had felt his presence waning away.
This meant that only the other person could know this. After all, it had happened long ago.
“Didn’t… Didn’t you go missing? Back then, the master even tried estimating your whereabouts, but it was to no avail!” Ying Shengping said in utter disbelief.
“Of course it was to no avail. He had been taken away by those that destroyed the Great Eras. Your master would never have been able to locate him regardless of how strong he was.”
“I can’t quite consider myself to be alive right now. What is speaking to you now is what’s left of my spiritual consciousness,” the commander said.
“This body does not belong to me! We have been put together using the best weapons and we are nothing but an integrated weapon suite,” the commander said without any emotion.
“Tell me, how has my family been ever since I disappeared?” he asked.
Ying Shengping had not expected such a question from him. “Sky Spirit Monarch, you shouldn’t ask me this since you already know what my answer will be,” he replied hesitantly.
“Many years after you went missing, your relatives continued to do well under the protection of my master.”
The mouth of the commander twitched slightly, and it seemed to Luo Yunyang as though he was going to smile. However, his expression still looked downright evil.
“I wish to thank your master. It’s such a pity that he will never get to hear my words of grat.i.tude. Human Ruler, could you release me now?” He then turned to Luo Yunyang.
While Luo Yunyang believed that the words of the commander were true, he still insisted on keeping the restraints on him.
After all, he did not know what exactly was going on with this guy.
“No way. Even if your spiritual consciousness has been awakened slightly, I still have to restrain your body. You can blame me for not trusting you, but you cannot change my mind,” Luo Yunyang replied indifferently.
The Sky Spirit Monarch’s glare got more intense but eventually died down.
He was aware that he was not going to win even if he opposed Luo Yunyang directly. Hence, there was only one thing he could do: act the way Luo Yunyang wanted.
“I would like to know the whereabouts of the being responsible for all this,” Luo Yunyang told the Sky Spirit Monarch, whose body was almost completely restrained by various seals.
