Chapter 792 - 65: Calamity Begins! The Fall of Southern Han (8)
The entire battlefield was in the throes of tumultuous change.
In the eyes of mortals, they saw only that the celestial phenomenon had suddenly shifted, and the sky seemed to darken instantly. The chilling winds made one shiver unconsciously.
But from Duncan's god's-eye view, he saw silhouettes descending from the sky, possessing the bodies of the Southern Han troops. These were all spiritual soldiers arranged in advance by Fan Huzi, summoning the Five Camps' troops that had been nurtured through incense offerings by the Taoist sects over the past thousand years.
"Interesting."
Bloodthirstiness converged in Duncan's eyes, resembling heavy pupils. He raised the Overlord Spear in his hand, and Lu Shanjun beneath him let out a roar. In an instant, a stunning spear glint cut through the horizon, forcefully slaying the celestial soldiers and generals that had not yet possessed anyone. His battle spear pierced through dozens consecutively, then gathered a gangway edge over a zhang long, waving with a motion akin to an Unrivaled Chaos Dance, raining down dismembered limbs everywhere.
Men, gods, and ghosts, all were slain!
If it weren't for the laws of this world, he might be facing a hundred thousand celestial soldiers and generals.
The celestial soldiers and generals killed vanished into smoke, transforming into threads of mana that merged into his body, much like the Prayer of the Divine Country from the Western plane that died at his hands.
Throughout the history of the Central Plains, there have been very few who achieved immortality. If you ascended to immortality, you wouldn't just serve as a minor soldier in the celestial court; you would at least be a notable figure within it. Those deified after death might not surpass the True Immortal in life.
The form of celestial soldiers and generals is somewhat similar to the heroic soul's prayer. They are meticulously selected by the Taoist sect and worshiped alongside the divine spirit.
The Yellow Turban Warriors emerged.
Unlike the celestial soldiers and generals summoned by Fan Huzi's invocation, the Yellow Turban Warriors summoned by Miss Sun using the Taiping leadership are more like wild gods not receiving regular incense offerings. Perhaps because Taiping Dao likes to rebel, every dynasty has suppressed it, causing the Daoist sect for the Yellow Turban Warriors to worship secretly, occasionally summoning them to ward off monsters and demons.
"Jade Emperor's decree!
Year-star descends upon the altar!
Wearing a Purple Tenuity Crown, clad in dragon scale armor!
Year-star Sovereign, swiftly reveal your true form!
The Three Realms of Ten Directions, heed my command!"
——Taishan summons · Suppress the evil.
As Duncan's figure advanced unstoppably, even the celestial soldiers and generals possessing bodies couldn't withstand him. Fan Huzi, wearing a distant traveling crown and ornate purple robe, showed a shocked expression. Something appeared in her palm, and she threw it towards the altar. In an instant, a shadow gathered, seeming to surge from the ground, and swept towards Duncan's position.
Having summoned the celestial soldiers and generals, nothing else would surprise Duncan now.
His figure rose into the air as Lu Shanjun roared, traversing through the wind. The spear gang in Duncan's hand penetrated the earth, and with a thunderous boom, created a massive pit over ten zhang wide.
Cloud-turning palm.
Lu Shanjun, in tiger form, slammed both palms against the ground, unexpectedly lifting an entire area dozens of meters wide. The whole surface shook like a giant stone slab turned to steel at Duncan's will, flipping the burrowing shadow and, amidst the sky of shattered stones, the silhouette of Taishan was revealed.
Overlord returning spear!
Duncan and Lu Shanjun coordinated with great harmony, and the whole gangshrewd evil gathered on the spear's tip. The True Yuan went berserk, and this spear seemed to pierce through space, tearing a strange rift in the air. As True Yuan activated like collapsing space, under the twisting Qi Force, everything collapsed inward.
"Break the void, see the deity unblemished!"
Daoist Lingsu's expression changed dramatically at the view, murmuring, "This world can hardly contain him anymore."
Boom!
Taishan's figure exploded into ashes, along with the surrounding spectral forms of celestial soldiers and generals dissipating into oblivion.
Under the butcher knife of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord, all beings are equal.
Clang.
A sword light opened the way ahead, and Fu Jianhan's figure appeared a hundred zhang to Duncan's right. He took a deep swig from a crimson gourd, then ignited the fierce liquor with pure Yang True Qi. Flames spewed from his mouth, like dozens of sword qi shooting out. The fiery sword gang grew in the wind, engulfing the sector ahead. Whether possessing or unpossessed celestial shadows, all melted away like frost and snow upon impact.
In the Western plane, there is a nine-ring spell to summon the Otherworld Divine Attendant. If it's a Legendary Powerhouse, they can slay it with martial force.
Once you penetrate the Dao Entrance Realm, the world appears vastly different.
The sword gang Fu Jianhan gathered can cut through ghosts, gods, demons, and creatures. Even an area's city gods, mountain gods, or earth, if he wishes to kill, he can forcibly cut down their Yin God status.
"Where did so many Dao Entrance Realm experts come from?" Daoist Lingsu couldn't fathom.
A soundwave swept across the entire battlefield.
At an unknown time, the figure of Lady Jade Face manifested. Her demonic tune spread over a ten-mile radius, playing the melody of "Perils on All Sides, Ambush from Ten Folds," and its magical tones infiltrated ears, directly shaking the spirits of many mortals, leaving them void of fighting will. Thousands upon thousands of troops discarded their gear and fled.
"Not good!"
"Alas, my time has come!"
Gong Chengshu watched Duncan storm through the thousands of troops like a war deity, riding the fierce tiger Lu Shanjun beneath him, already scared out of his wits. He never expected there to be so many peerless experts of the Dao Entrance Realm under the rebel army, no wonder the dispatched personnel had all been lost without a trace.
But it was already somewhat late. Duncan's figure led the charge, cutting through the vast army. Lu Shanjun let out a tiger's roar, scaring the surrounding soldiers and generals so much that they dared not approach, treating the myriad soldiers as if they were nothing.
