Chapter 965 - Chaotic Battle (2/2)
Hearing the Abomination Sovereign’s question, Grade smiled. “There’s no hurry. Wait till we’ve depleted the Commanders’ energies.”
His eyes were fixed on the city under his feet. There was the Gold Army’s Edward, Red Army’s Akaryuu Juushirou, Orange Army’s Reverend Fahui, White Army’s Priest Longmai, and the Gray Army’s Hui He.
The last five Commanders were all in this city. Grade believed that after engulfing them, his powers would increase once again and that they might even surpass Grade’s.
“Once I’ve eaten them, so what if Ulpian comes back? I’ll be the master of the entire world. Everything will be mine!”
Just then, a stream of orange light soared into the sky. Reverend Fahui had dashed up.
Grade frowned. “Again?”
Out of the remaining Commanders, the one Grade held the most reservations for was the Gold Army’s Commander, Edward. The one he found the most troublesome to deal with was Fahui.
This Orange Army’s Commander grasped the power of self-sacrifice. It allowed him to not only gain strong prowess with each suicidal attack but also to be reborn.
Grade let out a cold snort and tapped out with a finger. Black deathly light cut across the sky and crashed against Fahui’s orange light.
It was as if several tens of nuclear missiles had been set off in the sky. Seething air currents exploded, but they were all pressed down toward the ground by Grade’s powers. Not only were the Black Army’s attacks not stopped but the human army on the ground suffered a great casualty.
Edward, who was standing on the rooftop, frowned deeply. “This guy’s powers seem to have grown stronger again.”
Beside him, Hui He, Priest Longmai, and the others also appeared worried. They had been pushed back repeatedly under Grade’s attacks, and now, even Fahui’s suicidal attacks had become useless. How much longer could the Central City’s defense hold up for?
Seeing that everyone was worried, Edward said calmly, “Hang on for a little more. Ulpian will definitely return. They’ve gone into outer space to battle. With their strength and speed, as well as the taking into consideration of the battlefield, it’s likely that there could be a time dilation effect. A few minutes for them could be a few years for us. This is why they haven’t come back.
“As long as Ulpian comes back, everything will be resolved. We’ll just need to hang on for a little bit longer.”
Just as Edward was encouraging everyone, Grade’s expression suddenly stiffened. For a moment, his gaze gleamed like he was at a loss. However, he recovered at the next moment and looked at the surroundings strangely, feeling as if something had happened.
In the depths of his heart which he did not know and at the ends of his consciousness, the sword seed that had been rooted into his greedy heart trembled slightly. A slight hint of consciousness gradually woke up.
“Has it ended? I didn’t expect that even my main body’s powers would be depleted.” Fang Xingjian opened his eyes slowly. A part of his martial will, which he had hidden in the depths of Grade’s heart, had just received news from his main body.
This was the escape route Fang Xingjian had left behind. With this, even if his main body’s powers were wiped out, he would still have a portion of his clone and consciousness left behind, allowing him to live on.
The worst situation would be that both his attempt to fight Ulpian head-on and his beliefs had failed. That meant he could only stay on in this universe forever.
However, after sensing the final information that came from the battlefield, Fang Xingjian revealed a hint of a smile. ‘As expected, it seems his foundation isn’t stable?
‘The ring’s energy comes from the demonic gods after all and is a bestowment from the demonic gods.
‘Therefore, no matter how far things develop, it’s all just an illusion.
‘Let me take a look at how this body is and see if I can use it to help me recover my powers.’
Fang Xingjian’s gaze moved, and he saw the surrounding scenes through Grade’s eyes.
