Chapter 57: The Heavenly Army Descends

  Dugu Qiubai, roaming the mortal realm for thirty years, never suffered a single defeat, and was hailed as a rare talent that appears only once in ten thousand years.

  He was born into a declining aristocratic family, introverted since childhood, practiced swordsmanship for seventeen years, read through all the sword manuals in the world, at eighteen he became famous after one battle, alone on Mount Shengyue, beheaded thirty-seven powerful demons, shocking the world, from then on, wielding his sword in the mortal world.

  At thirty years old, he created the Lonely Nine Swords, shattered the void and left, leaving behind a legend of invincibility that still circulates in the mortal world today.

  For Xiao Gu, Dugu Qiubai is undoubtedly a legend, the most supreme genius in the mortal world, a legendary figure.

  Now, I have finally seen the sword intent he left behind, and it's truly a mix of five flavors.

  A figure like an immortal, has actually arrived at this place. What kind of existence is this place after all? And since there is a Dugu Qiubai, then there must be traces left behind by Laozi and Tongtian. Can I really see them myself? Xiao Gu was momentarily enchanted by it.

  "Let's go, I think this place must have more than just the mark of Dugu Qiubai, there must be other powerful imprints," At this time, Wu Tongtian spoke up, although he usually looked very honest, but in fact, he would never lack sharp wisdom.

  "Good," everyone nodded, as for that sword intent, it was just a hint of killing intent left by Dugu Qiubai, and no one could comprehend it!

  Many disappointed cultivators looked at the broken sword with a hint of despair, having paid the price in blood, only to gain nothing. Some even suspected that Xiao Gu and others had intentionally said so, letting everyone retreat before coming back to monopolize the benefits alone.

  Xiao Gu and others didn't bother to pay attention to these people's thoughts, quickly moving forward, but the next moment their bodies stiffened in an instant.

  Before my eyes are countless ancient warriors, their mighty battle intent filling the sky and earth. On their ancient armor, Taoist patterns are densely woven, carrying an air of vicissitudes that is as vast and ancient as the primordial chaos. From here to the distant horizon, they are packed tightly together, with no one able to know exactly how many ancient warriors exist.

  What's going on? Everyone was shocked at the same time, and this mysterious heavenly soldier suddenly descended, leaving everyone unprepared. Xiao Gu even saw many cultivators with a look of shock and confusion, unsure of what to do.

  The ancient heavenly soldiers, neatly arranged on the ancient palace that seemed to be in ruins, inside and outside the palace walls, countless cultivators were shocked and frightened, every single heavenly soldier here could kill everyone millions of times, making it impossible for people not to be terrified!

  It's alright, the countless heavenly soldiers didn't make a move, but were instead enveloped in a faint golden light, just like guests from the realm of the gods. The exquisite armor was something that couldn't be seen anywhere in the mortal world.

  Kill!

  In an instant, the heavenly soldiers who were originally standing still on the ground let out a shocking and earth-shaking roar. The half-destroyed palace's Dao patterns instantly shone to their brightest, before instantly shattering, collapsing, and sending countless fragments flying high into the air, which then turned into flying ash!

  A loud shout from the numerous heavenly soldiers caused the already severely damaged palace complex to be thrown into turmoil, with many cultivators bleeding from their ears and some even fainting on the spot.

  The power of one roar has reached this point!

  "Could this really be the legendary Heavenly Soldier? Xiao Gu and the others were filled with doubt, the loud roar from earlier had caused their blood to surge, it was imaginable that everyone was just a single roar away, without any magical powers or Taoist symbols, yet they were all able to feel such intense battle intent."

  At this moment, the bloody rain that filled the entire sky seemed to have stopped, but the endless blood light illuminated the entire world. The wind was still, the sky was calm, and the ancient heavenly soldiers, the strange palace, the many terrified cultivators, as well as the silent and voiceless ferocious beasts and the desolate island, all stood frozen in time.

  Everything has become bizarre to the extreme.

  Crack, crack, void shattered.

  Above the ancient shattered palace, a massive crack of thousands of feet in length tore open in the void, and a gigantic hand carrying a corrupt and dark aura struggled to stretch out from it, slapping down towards countless heavenly soldiers.

  "Amazingly powerful," the seal of this town's space was actually broken, and in this piece of ruined palace, the space was entangled with countless fragments of the Great Dao, unbreakable. However, that shocking giant hand was able to shatter this space, it was truly unimaginable.

  A massive blue hand, covered in dense scales, with fingers several meters long and nails shrouded in a faint black mist, shattered the space and directly attacked the ruined palace, truly an unmatched powerful move.

  Roar! The 100,000 heavenly soldiers roared again, their war spears stabbing out in unison. A shocking and earth-shaking aura tore through the nine heavens and ten lands. 100,000 golden divine lights shot up into the sky, merging into a giant dragon thousands of feet long that charged towards the massive hand in the high air.

  Clang!

  The sound of metal and iron clashing echoed, silent air waves shattered the vast emptiness into fragments, unimaginable power swept across the entire barbaric island, mountains collapsed, rivers flowed backwards, thousands of miles of ocean were evaporated, the entire barbaric island was trembling, large tracts of land fractured and sank into the sea.

  However, a mysterious power protected the island of savagery, and the shocking fluctuations in power disappeared into nothingness.

  The desolate island has a shocking secret, this is what all cultivators think in their hearts, it's really too mysterious here, such a terrifying fluctuation can't shake it at all.

  The blue giant's hand struck in vain, followed by another palm, the 100,000-strong army was dazzling to the extreme, almost merging into one body. A long spear pierced the sky and earth, the giant's hand and the golden spear clashed together, the void shattered like paper paste, as if the world was about to be destroyed in a terrifying manner.

  A massive blue hand slammed down, unleashing a colossal force that created a gigantic black hole below. A large area of palaces was swept away, and even the golden long spears could not withstand it.

  One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, shocking the heavens and earth. Yet at this moment, they were retreating in defeat. A faint sound echoed, and the golden long spear shattered. The one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers dispersed, and only then did everyone realize that these were not truly heavenly soldiers, but merely the lingering imprints left behind. In the endless years past, there indeed existed a powerful group of heavenly soldiers, but they may have already perished, leaving behind only their soul imprints in this place.

  One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers fell, the blue giant hand descended, and countless palaces, even with residual Dao marks, shattered like paper.

  Splash!

  At the same time as all the cultivators turned pale, a vast and majestic illusory shadow appeared. He was as tall as a mountain, standing between heaven and earth, seemingly ethereal and about to disperse with the wind. However, he stretched out a massive hand to block the cyan-colored giant hand.

  At this time, even the strong Xiang Gu and other kings could only be ants. With a little carelessness, even the ripples could make them die thousands of times. If not for the mysterious power blocking the ripples, this place would have become a flat land.

  A vast and eerie shadow, hazy and indistinct, without a hint of vitality, yet the terrifying pressure was like a boundless ocean, with massive waves crashing down, causing Xiao Gu's face to flush red.

  Ten thousand feet of void shadow roared in anger, he punched out a track that shattered space, with immeasurable divine power shaking the sky and earth. At the same time, the entire vast palace seemed to have fully recovered, with endless Taoist patterns rushing into the sky and densely covering the void.

  The power reached its peak, shattering the void. This punch brought this principle to an extreme, Xiao Gu's eyes didn't dare blink, and the almost non-existent shadow of his fist seemed like a falling star, drawing out mysterious trajectories in the air, piercing through layers of space, directly meeting the giant hand in the high sky.

  This blow, under the blessing of countless strokes, was almost strong enough to shake the entire sky and earth. The green scaly giant hand was injured for the first time, a large piece of scales fell off and crushed a palace, and even two unlucky cultivators were crushed underneath.

  "Xue Xianzi, where is the opportunity you spoke of?" At this time, even Xiao Gu was unable to completely calm down. A war of such magnitude would be a complete disaster. If it weren't for being in the divine palace in the void of the barbaric island, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  The earth will sink for billions of miles, and billions of lives will fall. The disaster is unimaginable.

  This great war between strong people was seen by Xiao Gu and others as a completely unexpected blessing, but more often it was a disaster.

  "I don't know, it should be soon," Snow's delicate face also had a hint of solemnity and fear.

  The rest of the stars were also having a hard time, and everyone discussed that they should at least leave this place. Otherwise, if one guardian was not careful, there would be a risk of falling.

  The shadow was ultimately just a shadow, and it quickly fell behind in the green-handed exchange, on the verge of defeat. Once the shadow falls, many people will also be hard to escape death.
