“G.o.d Devil Cyclic Slas.h.!.+”
With a thunderous roar, the furious and stalwart figure of Invincible Great General Li Siye raised up the giant Wootz Steel sword and unleashed a storm of frenzied slashes.
The same technique now contained a completely different level of power. It was clear that Invincible Great General Li Siye was several times stronger than he had been during the Rebellion of the Three Princes.
Through three years of bitter cultivation, with the help from Young Master Qingyang’s Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art and the memories of Grotto Heaven experts shared by Little Nightmare, Li Siye had long ago broken through that threshold and gone from the Great General level to the Subtle realm, all the way to the high level of the Subtle realm and approaching the half-step Grotto Heaven level.
Li Siye had never lacked for talent, and he was also more simpleminded than ordinary people. Once he focused all his attention on martial arts, he could put aside all other distractions and achieve more progress than others.
But going from the high level of the Subtle realm to the Grotto Heaven realm required far more than a simple mind free of distractions. Thus, Li Siye had encountered a bottleneck that he found difficult to overcome.
Even so, he was more than powerful enough to deal with these experts from the Celestial G.o.d Organization.
Boom! Boom!
Screams rang out as Li Siye’s storm of Sword Qi instantly obliterated those three waves of saber energy, and the remaining power of the Sword Qi continued onward to the source of those attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Blood splashed and screams rang out as Li Siye’s all-encompa.s.sing attack pushed those three figures out of the void, sending them flying like ragdolls and cras.h.i.+ng into the ground a hundred-some feet away.
As they flew out, plus.h.!.+ Plus.h.!.+ Plus.h.!.+ A blurry figure jumped out of a distortion in s.p.a.ce, and blood splashed. A bright and slender sword pierced through body after body. By the time Sword Dragon had withdrawn his sword, all except one of the men in black had toppled over, their eyes wide open as they collapsed to the ground.
Young Master Qingyang’s Stellar Energy, Li Siye’s attacks, and Sword Dragon’s nimble movements perfectly complemented each other. Each one of them essentially needed to make only one attack for any opponent beneath the Grotto Heaven realm, no matter how numerous they were, to have no chance at survival.
This was why the three of them had been sent together.
“Who in the world are these three? How could they have such high cultivation?!”
Several hundred feet away, a Celestial G.o.d Organization expert had been slashed into the ground, his body covered in blood.
Sword Dragon’s sword had pierced straight his dantian, and this high level Subtle realm expert had already ceased to be a threat.
“Hmph, evildoers of the Celestial G.o.d Organization, did you really think that everything was still as it was in the past?”
Li Siye coldly grunted, gripping his sword in both hands, his eyes cold as if he was ready to cleave this person in half.
“Talk! The faceless man! Where is he?”
Young Master Qingyang got straight to the point.
He had made Sword Dragon spare this man’s life to question him on the faceless man. These people had been lying in ambush here because they had clearly known the secret signals. It seemed that they had made a lot of progress with pursuing the faceless man. What he needed to confirm right now was whether or not the faceless man had fallen into their hands.
“Did you think I would tell you?”
The man in black coldly snorted. Though he was drenched in blood, he seemed fearless.
“Nothing but ants! What do you think you’ve really done? Do you think you’ve won? You’re just struggling on death’s door! The final day will come, and no one except we servants of the G.o.ds will survive!”
That man propped himself up on the ground with his hands and eerily smiled.
Young Master Qingyang’s heart thumped as he realized what was going on.
“Watch out! Stop him!”
The three of them lunged, but it was too late. In the depths of that man’s mind was a destructive and extremely unstable energy, rapidly rising before ultimately exploding.
Bang!
In front of the trio’s eyes, the man’s head exploded, and his headless body trembled once or twice before collapsing.
“What’s going on here? I clearly pierced his dantian.” Sword Dragon sternly said as he walked up to the headless corpse. He had never imagined that this man would self-detonate, and certainly not through a method like this.
This development was not in their expectations. Young Master Qingyang frowned.
“These people are the Fallen.” A voice came from nearby.
This was very sudden. None of them had expected that there was someone else besides them on the battlefield.
The air tensed, and Sword Dragon immediately took out his sword and looked in the direction of the voice.
They had a clear view to the horizon, and there was nothing there except a small hill.
In the middle of their surprise, plus.h.!.+ A hand emerged from the earth of the hill, and a figure quickly emerged.
“The faceless man!”
“Governor Zhang!”
In shock, everyone rushed toward that figure.
Although this man was covered in dirt, he still wore his emblematic black mask. If this was not the faceless man, who else could it be?
But Zhang Qiantuo was in bad condition. His aura was weak, his body cold, and his skin extremely white from excessive blood loss. His body was covered in wounds, and many of his vital points had been badly wounded.
Even more shocking was that in order to conceal himself from the pursuit of the Celestial G.o.d Organization, the faceless man had released even more blood from his body, reducing his aura to its lowest. This had placed him in a near-death state.
“There’s no need to worry. I’m fine.”
The faceless man waved his hand and tried to comfort the others.
“There’s no time. The Celestial G.o.d Organization has already activated all of its Fallen. These people are the survivors from the Celestial G.o.d Organization’s experiments and cultivation failures. The majority of them are outstandingly talented martial maniacs, but they were not used due to various flaws they suffered. But this time, Heaven has released all of the Fallen, even ancient Fallen who have cultivation levels nearing the Supremes.”
Buzz!
Everyone paled at these words.
All of their preparations had been based on the information they already knew. Ordinary Fallen were one thing, but Fallen who were close to the Grotto Heaven realm were something else entirely.
“This isn’t even the most important part. We’ve already confirmed the news…”
The faceless man suddenly raised his head, his expression extremely grave.
“Heaven will emerge soon!
“In addition, the Celestial Army has been completely mobilized and will soon descend! The final battle is coming!”
Each piece of the news from the faceless man was more shocking than the one before it. Even Young Master Qingyang was trembling in shock, his mind blank.
As for the others, their bodies were shuddering, their faces ghastly pale.
The Fallen!
The Celestial Army’s descent!
Heaven’s emergence!
Even though they had known three years ago that this day would come and had been actively preparing themselves for it, they were still stunned at the news from the faceless man.
This day truly was coming!
Rumble!
Just as the faceless man finished speaking, the ground began to quake.
Above them, the sky darkened, and they could sense that the entire world was swaying as if something was about to emerge from the depths of the earth.
Crack! Crack! Large groans came from down below, as if the earth was about to split in two.
Neigh!
Nearby, the warhorses neighed and ran off as if they had been given a severe fright.
Suppression, chaos, weight!
They felt as if the end of days had truly come.
“Heaven!”
A single thought occurred to all three of them, and their faces turned ghastly pale. Meanwhile, the faceless man nastily scowled.
They had endured humiliation for three years and had even sacrificed three top-cla.s.s Informers. Even the faceless man had almost died and had barely managed to escape in the hopes of bringing out this information, but in the end, he had still been too late.
He couldn’t change anything. Moreover, this great commotion was shaking the foundation of the world. There was only one man who could change all this.
Rumble!
The immense earthquake continued, intensifying with every pa.s.sing second.
Clack! Clack! From Lingnan in the south to the Northern Sea in the north, from the Central Plains in the east to the Arabian Empire in the west, the earth trembled, opening countless fissures. Even a few cities had ma.s.sive chasms open up through them.
At this moment, in the capital…
On the roof of the G.o.d Vanquisher Group’s headquarters, Li Xuantu stood, his eyes closed as he listened to the reports from his subordinates. Suddenly, there was a ma.s.sive tremor. He suddenly opened his eyes and solemnly looked to the north.
In the nearby Supreme King Residence, Little Nightmare felt a tremor from the world’s foundation, and in the darkness, it opened its eyes and looked to the north.
“This is… Heaven!”
No one had expected this day to come so quickly. At this moment, in the Cong Mountains to the northwest, w.a.n.g Zhongsi, Dalon Trinling, Bahram, Duan Gequan, and Wunu s.h.i.+bi had been observing the training when their metallic platform shuddered. Nearby, a ma.s.sive fissure opened as if a scythe had cut through the earth, slicing a small mountain in two. Countless chunks of rock rolled into the abyss. The world became still, everyone falling silent as they turned to the north.
“This tremor… could it be…”
Ozmish Khagan looked warily to the north.
This sudden tremor was far too abnormal. As a top-cla.s.s martial artist, Ozmish Khagan could sense that the foundations of the earth were shaking. A mere earthquake could not explain this.
More importantly, the direction the tremor had come from… He clearly recalled that it was where the cold wave had originated from.
Crown Prince’s Junior Guardian w.a.n.g Zhongsi looked up at the sky and said, “It can’t be wrong. That day is finally coming!”
What had been a clear sky a few moments ago was now covered in roiling dark clouds, and the pressure coming down from the heavens made it truly feel like the apocalypse was coming.
Dalon Trinling and We Tadra Khonglo also fell silent, their hearts heavy.
