Chapter 738 - Adjudicator (1/2)

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 dr.a.p.ed 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.
