Chapter 889 - Invade Like The Burning Flames (1/2)

Silence repleted the Heaven Suppressing Palace. The gods were looking all around in shock.

There were more than thirty sacred lands around, inhabited by various celestial and demon races. There were sixteen that had come, some were enemies and some belonged to Xian Tian Palace. These races had all come under the lead of their grand ancestors.

Yet, all of the enemies were cleared off in just a few hours; even the more powerful experts like Sovereign Ba and the other grand ancestors were killed without exception!

The grand ancestors like Sovereign Ba were sovereigns to a race, the designation of their position in the race.

For example, the sovereign of the Fei Yi Celestial Race wasn't just leader to all Fei Yi in Zi Wei Galaxy, but all of the universe, including the ancient universe, including the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds!

The same applied for the Human Sovereign.

And now, sixteen of these sovereigns died in the Heaven Suppressing Palace at the hands of Zhong Yue!

As a Heavenly Deity commanding only a million gods, Zhong Yue used the [Innate Celestial Demon Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Art] to bring himself up to the level of a Creator. Then, he proceeded to slaughter the 16 sovereigns. Such merits and achievements, he could be said as the God of War!

"Invincible!"

Suddenly, a god shouted, "King Yi, invincible!"

The million gods were agitated and raised their divine weapons high up and shouted together, "King Yi, invincible! King Yi, invincible!"

A million sounds together have resonated across the vast Heaven Suppressing Palace, stunning the hearts of those around.

Winning the battle has injected strong confidence into the army, their commander has brought them the belief of eternal victory. Only through battles like this can an army grow as a unit!

One could say that Zhong Yue's control over the Xian Tian Royal Guards had never been this high before. The Xian Tian Royal Guards now revered him as an unbeatable God of War. Even Imperial Emperor Xian Tian couldn't shake his standing over the Xian Tian Royal Guards!

"Tidy up!" Zhong Yue ordered, "Tomorrow, we fight again!"

The million gods quickly sat in the lotus positions and recovered themselves. Zhong Yue summoned the old god over and had him check the resources in the Heaven Suppressing palace. The old god reported, "The jade liquids are enough to use for half a year, but the divine herbs and spiritual pellets can only last for three, at most, five battles. The divine materials are depleting as well. My king, you've forged the doors and furnaces over the months, they had used up the materials. King should report to the Imperial Emperor and ask for more resources. Or we will run out of food in three to six months time."

Zhong Yue nodded, rays flashed across his eyes.

The jade liquids, spiritual pellets, and divine herbs were war necessities, they couldn't be left out behind. The resources Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had sent were already on its way, but to his estimation, it would take roughly more than six months to arrive.

The downtime between battles was the hardest time they would have to endure.

"Other than that, the previous guards had brought the war equipment away with them. The warships, war chariots, war flags and banners, the godly palaces, the divine weapons, and many other treasures. These treasures were of great use in wars, whether it be as an offensive attack or simply defending the stronghold."

The old god frowned, "Without these items, I'm afraid when we encounter a big-scale war…"

Zhong Yue nodded.

The warships were fast as lightning, the godly fortresses were hardly the best defenses, the war chariots could charge right into the enemy camps, the sky ladders could be used to climb the enemies' walls, the godly palaces and godly halls could be used as points for various purposes, the war flags and banners to command large group of armies and bestir the war spirits; each of them have their own uses in war and were incredibly important to win a war.

But none of this was available to his Xian Tian Royal Guards. They were as poor as beggars and when placed side by side with the regular armies, they were equipped like raggedy militias formed by random commoners.

"The art of war—invade like the burning flames. We don't have food, but the sacred lands do! The warships, fortresses, war chariots, sky ladders, and godly palaces... the sacred lands have all of them!"

A day later, Zhong Yue abruptly stood up and shouted, "Bring only the edibles and nothing else. Follow me as we trample the sacred lands around us!"

The million gods stood up and yelled in agreement. They cleared up the granaries and left everything behind. Seeing this, the old god quickly said, "My king, Imperial Emperor's order for you is to safeguard the Heaven Suppressing Palace, do you need to leave the army behind to stand on guard?"

"No need for that!" Zhong Yue said sternly, "Saddle out!"

Yin Fanxuan frowned, "What if the enemies come and claim the Heaven Suppressing Palace?"

"Then we'll simply take it back by force." Zhong Yue smiled and answered casually, "Instead of staying on the defensive, a better option is to go full offensive! All those nearby poses no threat to our Xian Tian Royal Guards, it's much easier for us to just take back the Heaven Suppressing Palace than trying to protect it all day long!"

Yin Fanxuan sighed as her admiration of him grew.

The million gods kept the three Heavens and the eight Astral Doors. They marched out from the city gate for the Fei Yi Celestial Race while Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan sat in the Kirin carriage.

After ten days of traveling, they had finally arrived at the Fei Yi's sacred land.

The Fei Yi Celestial Race had long received news of the loss of their forces as well as their grand ancestor. Along their way to the Fei Yi's sacred land, scouts and sentinels were closely looking at them, reporting every single move they made back to the race.

The Xian Tian Royal Guards also noticed the scouts spying on them, but Zhong Yue ordered them to disregard the scouts and went straight for the sacred land.

When they arrived, Zhong Yue raised his hand and the whole army stopped, none of them moved even a single inch. Then, Chi Song gave a stern yell and the three Heavens rose into the air. They hovered above the Fei Yi Celestial Race's sacred land and shone a thousand times brighter than the suns.

The Xian Tian Royal Guards were galvanized into actions, they stood into eight array formations.

Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan were standing outside of the carriage, they looked toward the Fei Yi Celestial Race and saw a vigilant race readied in a defensive stance.
