Chapter 456 - The Fourth Divine General Zhi

Translator: Aran

“En?”

There was a slight change of expression on Gao Diping’s face.

At this moment, suddenly from Yan Buhui’s body, he felt a very terrifying aura. Because of his strong expert intuition, Gao Diping instantly understood a lot of things. He immediately understood that the Youyan genius from before was unexpectedly suppressing his cultivation skills and had not really shown his true strength yet.

“Interesting, I underestimated you, I didn’t think that in this hundred years, there would be someone like you.” Gao Diping’s figure was like the ancient giant, rays of light radiating from his eyes, as if there were two huge golden swords firing at Yan Buhui. “Come on, let’s see what you really have, that makes the old demons of Snow City value you so much.”

Yan Buhui soared rapidly once again.

Endless black demonic mist was releasing from his body, much darker and denser than the demonic clouds before. It was filled with despair, killing intent, blood-thirst, sadness, pain and other feelings. And these black demonic clouds were wildly tumbling, like something extremely frightening inside was making its way out, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

A grave expression came over Gao Diping’s face.

“Come out, space-time demon god!”

Yan Buhui bellowed again.

A giant black claw was slowly stretching out from the endless dark demon clouds.

It was immediately followed by a violent roar that seemed like could destroy the heavens and earth.

An invisible spiritual power spread out from the dark demon clouds.

Two beams of blood-red light, like two swords dripping with blood, pierced through from the dark demonic clouds. Then a huge mountain-like figure slowly appeared before the eyes of the world. But it was not the dark human-shaped space-time demon spirit from before, but an extremely pitch-black ancient demon bear.

“Bloodthirsty demon bear?” Gao Diping’s eyes were flashing faintly. “Didn’t expect that you can call out the founder of the Snow Ground Demon Court... No wonder that... Come on, junior, let me see how far you have mastered the power of bloodthirsty demon bear.”

Yan Buhui, at lightning speed, instantly sank into the space between the pitch-black demon bear’s eyebrows, fusing with the head of this tremendous monster.

“Roar!”

It was the first appearance of the earth-shattering roar of the ancient great bear of the dark ages in the world.

The terrible sound wave, containing a fierceness and ruthlessness that did not belong to this world, radiated out toward all directions.

“As you wish.”

The dark bear spat out human words.

It was the voice of Yan Buhui.

The grave look within Gao Diping’s eyes was increasingly obvious.

The skill of summoning an ancient time-space demon spirit of ancient times was a supreme sorcery handed down from the Demon Race. It can cross endless currents of time and space, find the shadows and souls of demon clan ancestors that have been annihilated in history, and summon their power to this world for the summoner to use.

This was one of the most supreme secret skills of the Demon Race.

This secret skill was extremely difficult to cultivate, and requires extreme talent.

Even in the vast demon clan, only a few gifted members of the demon clan could master this secret skill.

This Yan Buhui is a traitor of the Human Race, he merely transplanted a few demon bones into his body so it made sense that he gained some ordinary abilities of the demon clan. But he unexpectedly had cultivated the time-space demon spirit summoning skill to such a level, and received recognition from the Snow Ground Demon Court Ancestor. It was simply unbelievable.

“Roar!”

The pitch-black bear roared again.

Its enormous body was leaping in the void, in the most barbarous and direct way, slamming into the Great Spirit God that Gao Diping had transformed into.

At this moment, the dark giant bear was even bigger than the Great Spirit God.

Boom!

These two tremendous bodies fiercely struck into each other in the middle of the air.

In that instant, everyone felt the whole world shaking, their line of sight, and everything were vibrating, the void was breaking apart like a mirror. And then, once again, under the impact of the Law of Heaven and Earth, it was joining back together. This collision had almost shattered the whole world.

The ground of the Imperial Capital was trembling, like the warning signs of an earthquake.

“This place is not suitable for a battle, come with me to the Pinnacle of the Ninth Heaven.” Gao Diping laughed wildly. The Great Spirit God soared up, travelling at a speed not commensurate with its stature, disappearing at a higher place.

The dark bear let out a loud roar and followed.

These two giants, one after another, disappeared at the high altitudes of the vault of heaven.

Even with Ye Qingyu’s eyesight, he also could not see the battle between the two.

Pinnacle of the Ninth Heaven was a place that only those that have reached the Ascending Heaven stage could enter. It is said to be the extreme limit of the domain, almost into chaos. It is a place where one could get a glimpse of the mysteries of Heaven and Earth, and the reason that Ascending Heaven experts were given this name was because only experts of this level could step into the heaven, detached from the shackles of the Earth, and come to a place like the Pinnacle of the Ninth Heaven.

Such a battlefield was not one that Ye Qingyu could currently get a glimpse of.

With the departure of the two great masters, in the sky above the [Light Palace], the black demon fog was gradually dispersing and the sky was clearing up.

But it was almost evening.

The setting sun was shining on the architecture of the Imperial Capital, giving them a blood-like colour.

In the sky, for some reason, there were white snowflakes drifting across. In the beginning there were only white particles, but soon they were like goose feathers that did not melt when landing on the ground, as though putting on a layer of white gauze on this piece of land, mountains and city.

Ye Qingyu was still gazing at the sky.

[Silver Flowing Light Formation] was protecting the entire City of Light, but Ye Qingyu knew very well that the crisis was not over.

The people that had appeared were not surviving members of the era of sects, but were from the Brute Race Demon Race and other races.

These people should not have appeared in the Imperial Capital, and even more should not be here. It was not possible that no one came despite them causing such disturbance for such a long time. But all this points to the fact that there must be an almighty power behind them.

When those who should not appear here have already ended their respective missions, then, if Ye Qingyu had not guessed wrong, it was the time for those who should appear, to do something.

As expected, in a short while, in the snowy sky above the [Light Palace], a layer of ripples was moving.

Another figure appeared in the sky.

It was a burly and tall figure exhibiting a rotten aura, a dark red demon armour draped over his body. The shape of demon armour was like a sealed metal statue, every part was covered by a piece of dark red metal. A helmet covered his entire face, and there was not even a peephole, but it did not stop the strong rotten aura from seeping out from beneath the metal armour.

When this dark red demon armoured figure appeared in the sky, the pressure that it brought to Ye Qingyu was not much weaker that what he felt with Divine General Gong Gao Diping and Yan Buhui.

“Another Ascending Heaven expert?”

Ye Qingyu fiercely clenched his teeth.

As each one leaves, another takes the stage.

Those mysterious Ascending Heaven experts that come and go in an elusive manner and that were rarely seen, today were appearing one after another, like a bunch of carrots were pulled out of the ground.

And from the aura radiating from this blood-red demon armoured person, he was definitely not standing in the side of the [Light Palace].

The [Silver Flowing Light Formation] should be unable to withstand a blow of this level, but on Ye Qingyu’s side, it seems there was no longer any other people that could be sent out to defend the attack of an Ascending Heaven expert.

Ye Qingyu wrinkled his forehead.

When he was really considering Little Nine’s suggestion of escaping ——

Wen Wan, who has been squatting on one side eating noodles, had just finished the last mouthful of the bowl of noodle soup, licked his lips, slowly stood up and stretched his body, and said with a smile, “It seems that I have to appear, I should give my bones and muscles a good stretch.”

As he was speaking, he slowly took down the black headband that was always on his forehead.

When the headband was taken off, it was as though the power that was sealed within Wen Wan’s body was slowly awakening.

“Little leaf, I told you before. Now you should believe it, I really am a powerful master.”

Wen Wan spoke in a very smug tone, with an expression saying that it was finally his turn to perform. As he was grinning, he stretched his hand forward in the void, as though dragging out a pair of giant blood red axes from the void. He only moved slightly and instantaneously came to the side of the dark red demon armoured figure. The light of the axe, bright as the moon, was slashing across his waist.

The armoured figure defended the attack with his arms.

The blood-red axe struck against the arm armour, producing a loud boom, and in the midst of sparks shooting out in all directions, deep cracks were spreading across the arm armour and the arm armour had sunken in.

However, the next moment, as the figures moved past each other, the blood-coloured demon armour had returned to normal.

“[Blood Moon Demon Armour]......[Heart Deception War Demon]? One hundred years ago, the Empire deployed the Imperial army along the border, and the five Great Divine Generals of the [Light Palace] destroyed the Blood Moon Demon Sect, none should remain, yet you survived?” Wen Wan narrowed his eyes, the giant axes adopting a strange position, with one behind the other, and a blood-like flame light was flowing out from the axe blade.

“Blood axe... you are the fourth Divine General Zhi?” Under the helmet of the blood red-armoured figure came a voice that sounded like two pieces of rusty iron rubbing against each other, completely devoid of emotions.

Wen Wan nodded.

On the ground.

Ye Qingyu opened his mouth.

He had heard the dialogue between them.

The content of the dialogue was a complete shock to Ye Qingyu, as shocking as the fact that old man Su turned out to be Divine General Gong.

Wen Wan was the forth Divine General Zhi of the Five Great Divine Generals?

How was that possible?

Ye Qingyu was not familiar with old man Su, so he was unable to identify him as Divine General Gong. But ever since Ye Qingyu entered White Deer Academy, then Youyan Pass and then the Imperial Capital, Wen Wan had been in Ye Qingyu’s life. Ye Qingyu felt that he knew Wen Wan too well, but the idea that Wen Wan had such an important identity had never occurred to him——
