Chapter 541 -462: The Divine Palace Repels the Demon

In an instant, a brilliant golden light erupted from Bai Yuan’s body. Upon closer inspection, one could see countless specks of gold flaring to life all over him.

The Divine Mansion Technique was in motion!

He could clearly sense that while the Blood Glow Giant looked terrifying, its power was merely that of a pseudo-Divinity realm.

It only seemed incredibly difficult to deal with, overwhelmingly powerful, because of its immense size and its ability to ignore physical attacks.

Moreover, its ability to destroy the city walls with a casual move was a divine skill for siege warfare.

“This ends now,” Bai Yuan said faintly.

The next moment, the golden light completely submerged him.

The surrounding soldiers, and even Yang Fangyu and the old clan chief, couldn’t see what was happening within the golden light.

The golden light ultimately expanded dozens of times, enveloping everything within a hundred feet of the city wall.

SWOOSH!

A streak of golden light shot out, heading straight for the space between the Blood Glow Giant’s brows.

The thumb-sized golden ray just tapped it lightly.

The Blood Glow Giant’s massive fist, raised mid-air, froze. It then let out a pained roar.

“AHHHH!”

The sound shook the heavens and the earth. The terrifying sonic wave caused many of the Northern Garrison Army’s soldiers’ ears to bleed.

The Blood Glow Giant’s originally crimson body faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, it vanished into nothingness.

“It’s dead?!”

The soldiers of the Northern Garrison Army stared at the scene in disbelief.

Without the Blood Glow Giant for cover, the Demon Cultists who had already charged to the base of the wall were all stunned.

Yang Fangyu reacted quickly.

He immediately snatched the drumsticks from the Drumming Officer beside him.

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.

The powerful, somber beat of the drum echoed across the city wall.

Snapping back to their senses, the Northern Garrison Army soldiers charged out through a collapsed section of the Great Wall and clashed with the Demon Cultists.

The great battle didn’t last long.

With the sudden disappearance of the Blood Glow Giant, the Demon Cultists had lost all will to fight.

They chose to retreat almost the instant the Northern Garrison Army charged.

Don’t pursue a desperate enemy.

Bai Yuan led the Northern Garrison Army to cut down more than half of the Demon Cultists before ordering a withdrawal back south of the Great Wall.

Another great victory.

Moreover, this victory’s morale boost far surpassed any before. The greater the shock the Blood Glow Giant had caused, the more exhilarating today’s great victory felt.

“Ah Yuan, that was amazing!”

Yang Fangyu had charged out of the city to hunt down the Demon Sect and returned alongside Bai Yuan.

He laughed with abandon.

What a damn satisfying fight!

Back when he was with the Northern Garrison Army, Grand General Xu had been very methodical in his use of troops, so it was rare to encounter such a thrilling, all-out pursuit beyond the city walls. Today, he had truly scratched that itch.

Bai Yuan was also grinning brightly.

In this one battle, he had gained tens of thousands of enhancement points and opened another Divine Mansion.

On the battlefield, the speed of his progress was terrifyingly fast.

“Ah Yuan, what kind of technique did you use just now?” Yang Fangyu asked curiously.

He prided himself on his worldly knowledge, but he had never seen a golden light like the one Bai Yuan had just unleashed.

Bai Yuan put on a mysterious act. “Can’t say.”

Yang Fangyu pouted.

His mouth opened and closed.

As if to say, “Show-off.”

Bai Yuan didn’t explain either, because he had actually used a Divine Palace Profound Soldier and had suffered almost no backlash.

…

「North of the Great Wall.」

On a hill.

PFFT!

Mo Tian spat out a mouthful of blood. It was particularly conspicuous as it splattered on the barren grass, instantly vanishing.

He snapped his head up and stared into the distance.

“A Profound Soldier!”

Mo Tian was in disbelief.

He hadn’t expected the enemy General to possess a Profound Soldier once used by the Demon God.

“How is that possible?!”

For the first time since being unsealed, Mo Tian felt true shock.

Times have changed.

Many things had already been buried in the dust of history.

But Mo Tian remembered everything concerning the Demon God, because to him, the events of five thousand years ago felt as if they had happened just last night.

He still remembered vividly that his Ancestor Master had sealed him with his own hands.

“Little Tian, I am sealing you away. When you awaken in a later age, find a young man who can use the Divine Palace.”

Mo Tian murmured:

“Is it him??”

Almost no one in the present age knew.

The Demon God was one of the few Martial Saints in the world to possess two Nine Heavens Profound Soldiers.

Nine Heavens Profound Soldiers were supreme Divine Weapons forged by a Martial Saint from their entire Martial Dao will. Every single one represented a Martial Saint’s life’s blood.

That was why even someone as powerful as the Grand Ancestor Emperor only had one.

The same was true for the great powers of antiquity.

But the Demon God was an exception. He had two Nine Heavens Profound Soldiers.

One, of course, was the Nine Nether Halberd currently enshrined in the Demon Sect’s Holy Hall. The other was more unique: a miniature palace.

The Tianxin Sect Leader asked with concern, “Are you all right?”

Mo Tian nodded. “It’s nothing.”

Although he had suffered a backlash just now, it wasn’t enough to injure him fundamentally.

‘To think I’d meet him so soon…’

Mo Tian’s eyes flickered.

‘Could it be that the descendant with the surname Yuan, the one who spoke with Ancestor Master’s soul, already knew? Is that why he shows such favor to Bai Yuan?’

‘Forget it. I should meet him.’

Mo Tian quickly made up his mind.

He turned to the Tianxin Sect Leader and said, “Withdraw the troops. Restrain the cultists for now. We will not start any more battles for the time being.”

“Understood.”

The Tianxin Sect Leader nodded.

Even though he was a Divinity Grandmaster, he hadn’t been able to see how Bai Yuan had broken the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array.

However, he had clearly sensed a familiar aura just now.

It was something one could only feel when worshipping the Demon God.

Clearly, everything was inextricably linked to the Demon God.

…

「On the city wall.」

The soldiers on guard watched the gradually retreating Demon Sect army, their brows furrowing slightly.

Just when they thought the Demon Sect was plotting some new trick…

The Demon Sect didn’t attack again for a full seven or eight days.
