Chapter 117: Chapter 107: Strike from the Sky! (3rd update)

In Demon Suppression City, at this very moment, there was an unprecedented and heavy atmosphere.

Just a short while ago, an incredibly terrifying surge of blood qi and pressure had erupted from the deepest part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, plunging everyone into utter despair.

Divine Spirit!

Only these two words, which dominated the rise and fall of the entire Infinite Land of the Tiandu Continent, could prove the terror of the adversary.

It was a title that made even those in the Heavenly Divine Realm feel pale and powerless in comparison.

Although there had been rumors that this would be the most terrible demon beast rampaging event ever witnessed, infinitely more dreadful than any before, that beings beyond the Martial God Realm would appear, and that the worst outcome could lead to the complete destruction of Xiafeng Country, erasing it from the Tiandu Continent to become but a trace in history.

However, no one could have imagined that in the end it would disturb the emergence of a Supreme Divine being who was invincible across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Once such an entity appeared, it would not just simply be a catastrophic rampage affecting one kingdom but could sweep across at least half the continent if it so desired.

At that time, billions of living beings would be doomed.

"Could it really be that the heavens want to annihilate our Xiafeng Country?"

Everyone clenched their fists tightly, wanting to cry out in rage, only to find it futile, as only the emotion of despair surfaced in their hearts.

Especially for Lord Mansion Master and the Kingdom Ancestor, who had swiftly arrived from the Royal Capital.

Facing a Divine Spirit, any resistance would be futile; their strength could obliterate all in an instant. How could they possibly hold their ground?

They could envision it would be a battle staining thousands of miles in blood, but what they never anticipated was that this battle could truly unfold in a flicker of the finger.

"What should we do?" asked Lord Mansion Master.

Kingdom Ancestor, with a wry smile, responded, "What can we do? Perhaps flee? But can we even manage to flee?"

Flee?

Asking such a seemingly ludicrous question to a Heavenly Divine being, the two exchanged looks filled with endless bitterness.

Perhaps indeed, they could not escape. Once a Divine Spirit made a move, there was no need for pursuit; merely sending forth a single killing thought could shatter the void instantly, traversing the whole Tiandu Continent to annihilate the targeted individual.

That was the invincible nature of a Divine Spirit; no personal engagement was necessary, for their will alone could destroy a Heavenly God.

"Damn it, I’ve never been this damn desperate," even an Old Immortal like the Kingdom Ancestor couldn’t help but curse, overwhelmed with frustration, never before so desolate.

But against a Divine Spirit, a Heavenly God indeed had only despair!

"Old Immortal, our Xiafeng Country is doomed to perish. Before that happens, the only thing we can do is to ensure that Xia Yang and Ye Chen, both possessors of Divine Spirit qualifications, are sent away. They are the hope for our Xiafeng Country’s restoration and the seeds of our revenge," Lord Mansion Master suddenly declared.

Kingdom Ancestor gritted his teeth and in agreement said with hatred, "Yes, it must be so. As long as those two live, our Xiafeng Country will not lose its true hope. Should one day they reach the Divine Spirit Realm, not to speak of revenge, but the restoration of Xiafeng Country is certain."

"Let’s also take the other disciples from Xiafeng Academy with us, as they are no burden to us."

"Very well, they too are seeds of hope and must not be lost!"

The two Heavenly Divine Realm beings of Xiafeng Country consulted with each other, made a swift decision, and their massive divine thoughts immediately swept through Demon Suppression City, searching for Xia Yang and Ye Chen. They needed to each take one and leave separately, to avoid being wiped out in a single strike.

"Xia Yang is here," the Kingdom Ancestor’s large hand grabbed the Crown Prince from the ground, along with seven or eight students from Xiafeng Academy’s Heavenly Level Academy, including the Thirteenth Prince, Vivian, and a red-clothed girl, all causing great surprise and confusion among the crowd.

However, Lord Mansion Master’s expression drastically changed: "It’s bad, Ye Chen is missing; I can’t sense his aura."

"What!" exclaimed the Kingdom Ancestor, quickly asking the crowd, "Have any of you seen Ye Chen?"

Everyone shook their heads one after another, and Vivian said anxiously, "Old Immortal, could it be that something has happened to Ye Chen? Please find Master Ye Chen immediately."

"I’m not entirely certain either," the Kingdom Ancestor said, shaking his head, and then immediately he called out in the skies above, "Ye Chen, if you hear this, come out at once."

The sound thundered like rolling thunder, causing turmoil above Demon Suppression City, but there was no response whatsoever, which darkened the expressions of the two beings from the Heavenly Divine Realm. Could it be that Ye Chen had truly met with disaster?

"Lord Mansion Master," someone said, "you should send them away from here quickly. If you pass by Xiafeng Academy, take the opportunity to bring along another batch of seeds."

"That is all we can do," the Kingdom Ancestor said.

At this time, everyone else seemed to understand what was on the minds of the two Heavenly Divine Realm elders, and panic began to set in, "Old Immortal, what exactly are you planning to do?"

The Kingdom Ancestor gave a bitter smile and said, "As you have in mind, I am now going to take a batch of you with me to leave, to preserve the seeds for our Kingdom’s revival someday."

Had things truly come to this point? Although everyone had guessed what the two Heavenly Divine Realm Old Immortals were thinking, when it actually came to this point, they still couldn’t help but panic.

A roar echoed at that moment from the deepest part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. The tremor rang through the vast sky, clouds stirred and dissipated, a sight that changed complexions and bred despair.

Could the final moments indeed be upon them?

At the entrance of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, suddenly, countless Demon Beasts emerged, densely packed, forming a terrifying tide of beasts, a dark horde that rushed towards Demon Suppression City with a thunderous force.

The entire battlefield trembled, with a terrorizing momentum. The sight, even from a distance, was enough to drive one to despair.

"To die in battle!"

Above Demon Suppression City, the Six Great Martial Gods took their positions in a line, all of them releasing astonishing might, leading an assembled army of millions drafted from various regions. They all roared, their vigor surging to the skies, rippling outwards, the sound shaking the entire battlefield.

Millions of troops lined up in formations, creating square after square. Heavy infantry appeared at the forefront, cavalry charged first, and behind them, a plethora of cannons and heavy artillery aimed at the Demon Beast Army, rumbling forward as well.

In an instant, both armies moved.

On the vast battlefield, the densely packed Demon Beasts and soldiers surged forward, the wide expanses of the land quivering. Even on the battlefield, where countless bodies of soldiers and Demon Beasts lay scattered, there was no thought now of avoiding. They went to meet each other head-on, embarking on the most terrible battle in the history of Xiafeng Country, a battle concerning the survival of the nation.

"Old Immortal, you must go quickly. I will make my move." Mansion Master made his declaration and then advanced. The might of a Heavenly God burst forth tumultuously, overwhelming the sky, the firmament trembled, and the earth roared mightily.

At that moment, he moved with the momentum of the million-strong army, mustering the force of a Heavenly God. Mountains and ravines trembled, the might reaching its absolute peak, terrifyingly boundless.

At that moment, however, from the deepest part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, an equally powerful Heavenly Divine Power was also being released, enveloping the Demon Beast Army, meeting the human army in a collision.

The earth between the two armies cracked open, revealing a vast fissure.

Although astonished that the pressure from the deepest part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range had turned into Heavenly Divine Power, there was no time to think too much at the moment.

Everyone turned their eyes there; on the human side, only the Six Great Martial Gods had come, whereas on the side of the Demon Beasts, there were a full ten Super Demon Beasts, each as large as a little mountain, emitting a sky-shaking might and Blood Qi.

The strongest collision in history between humans and Demon Beasts was about to commence, and everyone seemed to foresee the scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Just then—

With a boom—

A silvery white long spear suddenly thrust into the middle of the battlefield between the two armies, tearing the earth, and exuding an astonishing might. The spear shone with golden light and soared to the skies, causing both armies to pause.

Atop the spear, a tall and straight figure appeared like lightning, standing upon the tip of the spear, facing the endless Demon Beast Army, and shouted fiercely, "Silver Ape King, do you not hasten to stop this battle? Do you dare to disobey the command of the Hongtian Great Saint?"
