Chapter 738 - Adjudicator
Chapter 738: Adjudicator
Swoosh!
In the midwinter season, snowflakes were dancing in the Giant Dragon Valley, and the sky was covered with black clouds. A cold wind was blowing, and a large mass of black clouds 2,000 miles from Heavenly Pillar Mountain was flying toward it. Its speed was very high, but the sky was already dark, and ordinary people wouldn’t notice the peculiarities at this high-altitude. However, even though the strange clouds could deceive common folks, they couldn’t deceive Yang Ling that had a great Divine Knowledge.
He devoured the Soul Energy of the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, and absorbed a large amount of Worldly Spiritual Qi, Faith Power, and meditated for a whole year. Yang Ling felt like his practice reached a mysterious stage, and he felt like he was close to advancing into the mid-level Wizard God Stage. His body was brimming with explosive power, and his power had already significantly surpassed ordinary Dimensional Wanderers. After this seclusion session, his Soul Energy and control over souls increased
“Seylius, issue orders. Pull back the formation and stick to the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Hurry up!” After Yang Ling detected a wisp of berserk energy emitted by the peculiar black clouds. He didn’t hesitate any longer and he issued orders decisively. He also weaved Wizard Seals and quickly made preparations for the battle.
Three Great Divine Branches had dispatched their full force. Yang Ling didn’t have to ponder over this, and he promptly understood that this would be a hard battle. The Algernon Divine Branch and the Justin Divine Branch, who lost so many of their elites, were still manageable, but the Lich King had a well-trained and powerful army. He didn’t just have ordinary God-level Experts, he also had many powerful Divine Duty Experts.
In addition, there was still a peerless powerhouse known as the “Dimensional Wanderers’ killer,” the long-browed ancestor.
Yang Ling didn’t want to face three Great Divine Branches head-on unless he had no other alternatives, and he didn’t want to lose a large number of elites before slaughtering everyone in the City Amongst the Clouds. But it was a pity that the Giant Dragon Valley was the Magical Beast Divine Branch’s base, which he would use to campaign in various dimensions. It was a source of an ample amount of Faith Power, and he couldn’t give up on it.
If he moved the Magical Beast Army into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, he could avoid grave casualties, but he would also lose the Giant Dragon Valley, which he got received after great difficulty. He would lose the base that he would use to campaign in various dimensions, and his oath to massacre everyone in the City Amongst the Clouds would probably become a far-away dream.
Roar!
The Flying Dragon King, Seylius, was very swift, and the order was quickly passed down. The Magical Beasts on guard or patrol outside assembled quickly on Heavenly Pillar Mountain, and they prepared an ambush on the foot of the mountain.
“Lord, what is the matter?”
The Corpse Wizard King stopped his meditation and woke up. He spoke and rushed to Yang Ling’s side. The Golden Roc, Mother Empress and the other people had also woken up, and it was the same for the Grand Wizard, Houtu. Udonis just felt that something flickered in front of his eyes before a top powerhouse with long hair draped over his shoulder appeared next to Yang Ling. This man was as ice-cold as an iceberg, and he emitted an imposing aura. This was a man with a human body and a snake tail.
“It’s just a bunch of people with a death wish. It just so happens that we can use them to try your combined power.” Yang Ling sneered coldly and explained the enemy situation briefly. He was unmoved, but the Corpse Wizard King and others who listened to him were scared. Even the Grand Wizard, Houtu, that always kept his composure had furrowed his brows.
He was a Grand Wizard revived in a different location and era. He didn’t know about the Algernon Divine Branch and Justin Divine Branch. He had also never heard of the Lich King and long-browed ancestor. But he instinctively detected danger, and he detected that many strong auras were emanating from the peculiar black clouds.
“What the Lord has said is correct. What will come at us will come sooner or later? We could hide from it the first time, but we can’t hide from it the second time,” the Corpse Wizard King spoke and held the Death Horn in his hand tightly. As a swooshing noise echoed out, he suddenly devoured all Wish Power emitted by Undead Beings in a thousand-mile radius. His whole body shone with black light, and he was engulfed by dark black fog.
This seclusion session was short, and it lasted just a single year, but he had already consolidated his Core Deity Stage and further digested the Nether King’s inheritance. He officially became the new generation’s Nether King. Three Great Divine Branches was very powerful, but he still wasn’t afraid of them.
“It’s a pity that we don’t have enough time. If we had enough time, we could have taken advantage of this to destroy the three Great Divine Branches’ lair. If we had done so, they wouldn’t have dared to seek our Giant Dragon Valley and throw their lives away.” The Golden Roc wore an ice-cold look, and he badly wished to massacre the Algernon Divine Branch and Justin Divine Branch. He wanted to slaughter everyone in those Divine Branches.
…
Is this the real power of the Magical Beast Divine Branch?
The Magical Beast Army, which covered both the sky and land alike, quickly got into formation and prepared. The Grand Wizard, Houtu, next to Yang Ling. He was startled by this. He had heard long ago that the Magical Beast Divine Branch had power of unfathomable depths, but he still didn’t expect that Yang Ling would have so many experts with him.
He found out that he was very inferior to the Corpse Wizard King, Golden Roc and other three valiant generals. As for Yang Ling and the Grand Wizard, Houtu, he found them unfathomable.
Roar!
A deafening roar echoed out and the peculiar black clouds dispersed suddenly. A great army was revealed. It had ferocious warriors clad in heavy armor, God-level Spellcasters holding magic staffs, as well as skeletons and liches in lines. They had a large number of troops and one couldn’t see their end with a glance.
Heavenly Curtain of Darkness!
On the way, the Lich King consumed a large amount of Divine Power and Mental Energy to cast the Heavenly Curtain of Darkness Spell. He disguised the large army as a mass of clouds, and he planned to launch a surprise attack on Yang Ling’s Heavenly Pillar Mountain. He didn’t expect that Yang Ling would see through it at the last juncture, and his efforts would be wasted.
The well-trained and orderly Magical Beasts retreated swiftly into the Heavenly Pillar Mountain and got on guard. When the Lich King, who planned to slaughter the Magical Beast Divine Branch, saw this, he got very frustrated. He realized that their tracks were exposed, and this was why he withdrew the Heavenly Curtain of Darkness out of anger. He planned to attack the heavy-guarded Heavenly Pillar Mountain head-on.
The Magical Beast Divine Branch was very powerful, but he didn’t believe that the three Great Divine Branches’ joint attacks wouldn’t be a match for them. Just the long-browed ancestor and Adjudicator Chris invited by the former were enough to put a damper on the Magical Beast Divine Branch’s courage and fighting spirit.
Even though the Lich King knew that the long-browed ancestor had a close relationship with Adjudicator Chris, he still didn’t expect that the angry long-browed ancestor would invite him to fight with them. He was shocked by this, and he agreed readily to the long-browed ancestor’s demand of sending troops without giving this any consideration.
A single mountain couldn’t accommodate two tigers!
He had gotten uneasy and alert long ago due to the Magical Beast Divine Branch, which expanded its domain swiftly. In addition, the Magical Beast Divine Branch had still stolen the Wish Power released by numerous Undead Beings. If he didn’t destroy the rising Magical Beast Divine Branch and kill its mysterious Core Deity, he wouldn’t be at ease even while sleeping with pretty maids, he also wouldn’t be able to practice in peace.
Roar!
The Undead Beings commanded by the Lich King shouted loudly and emitted intense Death Energy. The Magical Beasts guarding the Heavenly Pillar Mountain didn’t show weakness, and they also roared loudly. Many deep and strong roars spread far and wide. The battle didn’t begin yet, and both sides had even imposing manners. The deafening roars quickly altered experts practicing in seclusion, and they released their great Divine Knowledge to probe the situation. Some had even used Teleportation Scrolls to teleport over here. Some observed the situation from afar and some flew over here directly. They all didn’t want to miss this earth-shattering great battle.
Swoosh!
Even though the three Great Divine Branches had a large number of troops, they were still very swift and they shortly rushed ferociously to Heavenly Pillar Mountain’s vicinity. They had a large number of God-level Experts. Upon seeing this, Udonis, who was atop the mountain’s peak, couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. He didn’t expect that the three Great Divine Branches would assemble so many troops in a short time.
“If you don’t hand over the Algernon Core Deity’s Godhead, you will all die and all people of the Giant Dragon Valley will die.” The long-browed ancestor flapped his transparent wings and emerged silently. He swept Yang Ling and his companions with his cold gaze. When his gaze fell upon the Grand Wizard, Houtu, who had a human body and a snake tail, his brows shivered and he instinctively detected great danger.
“I’m sorry, you have arrived late.” Yang Ling sneered coldly and spoke calmly. “The Godhead mentioned by you has already been devoured by me.”
Was it devoured?
Upon hearing this, the long-browed ancestor’s face turned ashen. A Core Deity’s Godhead was different from ordinary God-level Experts’ Godheads, and it still contained a lot of Soul Energy. At first, he planned to seize back the Algernon Core Deity’s Godhead and travel to the Unending Ocean. He planned to look for the Demon Monarch known as the “Ultimate Adjudicator” or look for the Heavenly Nun guarding the God Prison. He planned to ask them to revive the Algernon Core Deity. But, Yang Ling had unexpectedly devoured the Algernon Core Deity’s Godhead.
The last glimmer of hope was extinguished!
“Hahaha, fine. My grandson’s Godhead is lost. So, just hand over your Godhead.” The long-browed ancestor was so infuriated that he laughed. He slowly pulled out a shining sword from his waist. This sword was as broad as two fingers. It was very narrow, long and had a scarlet blade. This sword had cut off many people’s throats, and it shattered many people’s Godheads and hearts.
“You have annexed other Divine Branches willfully and you have gravely violated the rules set up by the Creator in the past. I’m an Adjudicator and I announce that the Magical Beast Divine Branch has already committed a serious crime. It must be exterminated!”
An old man clad in a blue robe spoke and pulled out his sword. He stood next to the long-browed ancestor.
He had a short and small stature, yellow and thin face, and he didn’t seem remarkable. He also didn’t have a menacing wave of pressure or aura. But when he advanced forward, Yang Ling couldn’t help but raise his brows. He detected great danger!
An adjudicator?
When Yang Ling looked at Adjudicator Chris, who had unfathomable powers, he furrowed his brows. He didn’t expect that the enemy would invite an Adjudicator to help them.
After he became a low-level Wizard God, ordinary Core Deities and Dimensional Wanderers weren’t a match for him anymore, and any who came over would just die. But, the Adjudicators affiliated with the Creator were a different matter. They had power greater than ordinary Dimensional Wanderers by, and the Magical Beast Divine Branch would probably have to pay a grave price to deal with just one of them.
What should be done?
Yang Ling pondered over a good plan. But, the enemy didn’t wait for him to give this long consideration and they launched a ferocious attack. The long-browed ancestor, Adjudicator Chris, and the Lich King flew over swiftly. They were also followed closely by the great army, and they rushed over ferociously!
“Great Wizard World!”
The enemy was as swift as lightning, and even if he wanted to move the Magical Beast Army into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, he didn’t have enough time to do so. Yang Ling could only grit his teeth and activate the Restriction Spells laid here previously. Soon after, he pulled out the Battle Soul Blade on his back and rushed toward Adjudicator Chris, who had unfathomable powers. Meanwhile, he used a Soul Sound Transmission to instruct the Grand Wizard, Houtu, to attack the weakest person among those three great enemies, the Lich King. He also ordered the Corpse Wizard King and the other four valiant generals to pester the strong long-browed ancestor.
One must accept losses to secure the victory!
Yang Ling wanted to avoid suffering disastrous losses, and this was why he had to grit his teeth and make a gamble. A long as he could persist until the Grand Wizard, Houtu, killed the weakest person, the Lich King, then they would be the winning side.
