Chapter 1562 - With This Ladle, I’m Invincible (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the rotating center of a vast region of stars, there was a huge planet shrouded in dense immortal energy. This was the home planet and the capital of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty.
Now, the planet’s surroundings were filled with a pitch-black aura, which was full of evil and sin, corrupting everything.
There were many pale bone warships floating in the starry sky. One after another, experts of the Titan Divine Dynasty flew out of these huge vehicles and charged at the planet. These experts were no longer themselves but Soul Demons, the evil creatures who represented sin!
Terrifying ancient beasts lay across the starry sky. Although they were enormous and bloated, they were extremely formidable weapons of war. With every attack they made and every sweep of their barbed tails, some Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty warships would be shattered into pieces.
Countless Gods had fallen. The starry sky was full of God’s blood, God’s remains, and howling souls. War was cruel, and it always brought indelible wounds!
The air was filled with loud and melodious phoenix cries, as well as radiant and blazing flames. Many phoenixes flew out of the planet, their colorful and beautiful tails fluttering in the air.
While the Soul Demon had ancient beasts, the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty had the phoenix. Although these phoenixes were not as huge as the ancient beasts, they were numerous and well trained.
For a moment, countless phoenixes of different kinds—whether dark phoenixes, fire phoenixes, or life phoenixes—flew across the sky and hovered around the ancient beasts. Their feathers turned into the sharpest arrows, constantly shooting at the behemoths they had surrounded.
The Xiayi Divine Dynasty had dragons, and the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty had phoenixes. Such a distribution was quite balanced, giving the two divine dynasties a lot of advantages against the ancient beasts.
The ancient beasts’ bodies were as huge as stars. Powerful explosions were created when the phoenix feathers hit them, but the attacks failed to do any damage to them. Instead, each time these monstrous beasts lashed out their barbed tails, they hit a phoenix.
The phoenixes that were hit cried miserably, their blood splashing in the starry sky and forming a very sad scene. However, without exception, their bodies always started to burn on their way down. In the blazing flames, they would all be reborn, and then they would rejoin the battle to attack the ancient beasts again.
The battle in the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty was hard and brutal. One God King after another rushed out of the capital and kept fighting the Soul Demons. The energy fluctuations caused by various weapons—including swords, knives, spears, and staffs—caused great waves that filled the sky.
A black-haired woman in a golden battle robe stood proudly in midair. Her every strike and every move always caused a great change in the void. She was simply too strong! Her strength was astounding because she was the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty’s Empress! Compared with the Xiayi Divine Emperor, she had the advantage of being young.
In her hand was a longbow. It was the Phoenix Cry Bow, the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty’s divine artifact. It was crafted with the bones of nine hundred and ninety-nine ancient phoenixes, and its arrows were all made from the heart feathers of the phoenixes, which gave them supreme power and made them the best weapon to kill the Soul Demon. She could kill one Soul Demon with every arrow.
As the ruler of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty, the Empress stayed at the capital. She was accompanied by four Protectors, who were all top-grade God Kings and whose attacks made the Soul Demons tremble in fear.
While every great world under the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty’s rule had been turned into a battlefield, the one in the heart of the divine dynasty was the bloodiest because here was where the focus of the Soul Demon’s attack was.
The Empress’s face was icy cold. Facing the Soul Demons, she did not hold back her strength in the slightest bit. There was an old proverb that said those who were not her kind were sure to be of a different heart, and she knew this very well. This was a battle for the survival of mankind.
In fact, if the Xiayi Divine Dynasty had not informed her, which allowed her to prepare in advance, the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty might have been caught off guard by the Titan Divine Dynasty, which had turned into a Soul Demon kingdom.
No one knew exactly how these Soul Demons were born and how they multiplied into such a terrifying force. However, everyone knew that they fed on humans and were the natural enemy of mankind. Therefore, the war between them was inevitable!
“Attack!”
Although she was a woman, the Empress’s fighting will was not at all weaker than the Xiayi Divine Emperor’s. Under her leadership, the morale of her army climbed higher and higher.
Led by the four Protectors, the army stabbed into the Soul Demon army like a sharp sword and started a fierce battle. For a time, the human army actually showed signs of suppressing the Soul Demons.
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty…
The magnificent palace was built on a hill. It was surrounded by dense immortal energy and all kinds of immortal flowers and sacred trees, making it look like a paradise.
In the great hall of the palace, a woman in armor sat cross-legged. She was the fifth Protector of the divine dynasty and a top-grade God King as well.
She wanted very much to go out and kill the enemy, but she had a more important task, which was to protect the crown princess. Yes, she was ordered by the Empress to protect the crown princess at all costs.
The crown princess was so gifted that she surpassed all geniuses, ancient or present. Since the Empress brought her back, she had conquered everyone with her talent. In front of her, the Xiayi crown prince, who had comprehended two supreme Laws of the Universe, was just a weakling.
“Ah Mo, I shall be safe in the palace. Go and help Her Majesty…” said a graceful figure from behind a curtain. Her voice was gentle and very pleasant to the ear.
The fifth Protector, Ah Mo, opened her eyes, her gaze as sharp as a knife. She shook her head, but her gaze was looking through the ceiling at the battle in the starry sky…
…
The Empress was frowning. Although the current situation was very good for the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty, she still did not dare to relax. This was because there was a great sense of crisis lingering in her mind. ‘What could it be?’ she thought to herself.
Looking at the God Kings and the Soul Demons fighting each other fiercely, her heart felt a little heavy. Suddenly, her pupils constricted. ‘No… Something is not right… Where is that Soul Thirteen? Where is the Soul Demon that that old man Xia Yuhe said would bring a great crisis?!’
The Empress’s heart suddenly beat wildly. Soul Thirteen had not appeared since the beginning. It did not make sense at all! Did he go to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty instead?
Just as she was in a complicated mood, a thought struck her, and she raised a hand. The next moment, a flickering array appeared before her, and an old man emerged in the array.
“The Soul Demons attacked the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital… But Soul Thirteen didn’t show up! He’s probably at your place… Be careful!” said the Xiayi Divine Emperor, who was hovering over the array.
“Huh?” The Empress paused. Suddenly, a greater sense of crisis erupted within her. She jerked her head up and looked into the distance. There, the void on the side of one of the Protectors who was killing Soul Demons was torn open, and then an almost completely silver arm stretched out of it.
The Protector, who was also a top-grade God King, felt a great sense of crisis. Without hesitation, she waved the knife in her hand, unleashed her Power of Law, and hacked at the arm. However, when her mighty blow struck the arm, it did no harm at all.
All of a sudden, the silver arm pierced through the female Protector’s body! She shrieked while her flesh was shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye. Soon, she turned into a pile of bones and fell from the starry sky!
A top-grade God King was killed in seconds!
The Empress’s eyes turned red. She knew that Soul Thirteen had appeared!
