939 Requesting for Assistance
Right now, aside from the black ring, Grade also had the pink and purple rings. Having obtained the powers of three armies, he could be said to have become a lot stronger than before.
However, this was not enough to satisfy him. There was a flash of black light, and he once again flew up into the sky, heading toward another commander.
In a huge temple in the southern part of Central Asia, an orange light soared into the sky like a heavenly pillar that connected the heavens and the earth. This temple was the Orange Army's headquarters, the Sacred Light Temple.
The heavenly pillar stood in the temple for 24 hours, emitting majestic orange energy that lit up the area within a range of 100 lis.
Every year, there would be Orange Army's warriors coming back to life and walking out from the heavenly pillar.
Right now, a human figure was slowly taking form in the light pillar. Flesh, bones, nerves, and many other body parts assembled together, eventually forming the appearance of Reverend Fahui.
Earlier on, he had unleashed both his and the Abyss Sword's powers to undergo a series of suicidal attacks. However, he came back to life unscathed. Even the Abyss Sword was perfectly intact and still in his hands.
This was the Orange Army's ability—sacrifice.
As long as he sacrificed himself for others without any intention for self-benefit or personal profit, he would be able to unleash this attack. It would detonate his entire body and will, completely offering up his powers to massacre the opponents. He would then be able to come back to life in the eternal glow of the orange light.
However, the prerequisite was that he had to have no thought of personal benefit and think fully about being dedicated and altruistic. This was clearly very hard to do, and even Reverend Fahui would not dare to guarantee that he would be able to do this every single time. Therefore, he would not use this move easily.
However, when Reverend Fahui stepped out from the heavenly pillar and completed his resurrection, there were no hints of joy on his face. Instead, there was only increasing sorrow.
"Master, what on earth happened?" A young monk, who had orange light circling around him, flew up into the sky and asked Reverend Fahui.
Reverend Fahui shook his head, and a series of waves were sent out from the orange ring, radiating out toward the entire planet like electromagnetic waves. These waves were radiations that the ring's energy emitted, which then transformed into a special communication frequency..
However, after waiting for a very long time, there was still no reply. Reverend Fahui's countenance turned even grimmer.
It was only until ten minutes later that Grade's exasperated voice transmitted out through the ring's energy.
"Damn it! It's all because of that Fang Xingjian. He killed everyone else. Zi Xing, Kaosi... They are all dead," Grade said in an anxious tone. "What are we going to do?"
Simultaneously, one of his hands was clutching tightly on the the neck of Bruce, the Blue Army's Commander. He watched as Bruce's body turned increasingly dull under his contamination while a blue ring was slowly forming on his hand.
"How could things become like this? Although we lost terribly previously, no one died after reassembling through the help of rings' energies..."
"I don't know!" Grade shouted loudly. "That Fang Xingjian's battle prowess seems to have increased. Oh, no. I sense that he has found me... I..."
At the next moment, Grade's voice was cut off from Reverend Fahui. Reverend Fahui's countenance became increasingly grim.
"This can't do. We can't let things continue like this."
At the thought of this, he brought along a stream of orange light and soared up into the sky. He paused for a moment and checked out the direction with a slight pause. Then he disappeared into the horizon with a dash.
"Even with so many of us joining hands together, we aren't his match. We can no longer have any more reservations. We must notify him immediately..."
Concurrently, his will continued to sweep onto the Abyss Sword. "These three divine swords might hold the secret to defeating him."
Just as Fahui disappeared, Fang Xingjian stood next to where Fahui had just been standing , watching quietly as Fahui departed.
"This direction... He has gone to look for the Gold Army's assistance." Fang Xingjian's eyes shone with a strange gleam there were countless pieces of information flashing in them. "The other two seem to both be studying my swords, wanting to obtain more power from them. This will be good for me to perform my Heart Sword Path."
The Immortality Saint let out a light laughter in Fang Xingjian's mind, "There's another person who seems to have lost control. We don't have to care about him?"
Fang Xingjian shook his head. "We need to leave some room for some variance. But they aren't even thinking of going to look for that person although things have reached this stage. It seems that I have to buck up a little.
"Let's get chase the other two out from their hiding places first."
...
Elsewhere, in a huge space station in outer space...
The Gold Army's Commander, Edward, looked at the latest news with some surprise. "I didn't expect that Fang Xingjian would be able to do all these. It's interesting."
His subordinate's voice rang out next to his ears, "Sir, they've come."
Edward's gaze swept toward the huge full-length window and saw a total of four streams of light charging over—gray, yellow, orange, and black. They gradually came to a stop outside his space station.
"Edward," Hui He said, "You should already be aware of the situation. Fang Xingjian's terrifying prowess is surging, and he is wreaking havoc through the entire planet recklessly. We must join forces in order to bring him under control."
Grade stood behind the three of them. He hid the blue, pink, and purple rings in his body. Meanwhile, the powers of the four armies kept on seething in his body, causing hints of greed to flash continuously in the depths of his eyes.
He almost had an irresistible urge to want to devour the three Commanders standing before him, as well as Edward in the space station.
'Wait a minute. Wait a little longer. Just wait a little more.'
"Not interested," Edward, on the other side, gave his reply as he shook his head. "My time is limited. No matter what he wants to do, I'm not interested in bothering about him as long as he doesn't interfere with me."
Hearing Edward's words, the faces of Hui He and the others changed. It was only then that they recalled the people from the Gold Army were only concerned with searching for the universal truth. They did not care about any other things—such as the Earth's safety, the vicissitudes in a country, the changes to influences—as long as they did not affect their pursuit of knowledge.
Hui He said, "Do you think that he'll stand by and watch idly after he has defeated us? Zi Ling, Kaosi, and Bruce have all been killed by him. After we're killed as well, there won't be anyone else who can help you.
"No eggs can remain intact when the nest is ruined. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"
Edward shrugged and said, "Then I'll just join his side. As long as I can continue my research, it's nothing for me to surrender to another Commander."
When everyone heard this, they fell silent like they had not expected that Edward would do this.
