One more catty, one more attribute point-Chapter 497 - 414: The True Face of God, Black Sun Hanging High!

Chapter 497: Chapter 414: The True Face of God, Black Sun Hanging High!

Deep within the Wanyuan Plain, the last fortress leading to the borders of Central State.

Puchi!

Patrol team leader Zhao Ge clenched his teeth and forcefully pulled out a scorpion’s tail stinger embedded in his arm. Dark red blood mixed with a rotten smell immediately splattered out, some of it landing on his face, blurring his vision with a crimson haze.

He didn’t bother to wipe the bloodstains off his face.

Zhao Ge quickly grabbed the bandage he had prepared beforehand, wrapped it around the wound on his arm, and tied a knot.

He took out a bottle of Elixir Pills from his bosom, popped the stopper with his thumb, and drank it all in one gulp.

...

As the medicinal effects kicked in.

Zhao Ge’s chest heaved violently, and his breathing became rapid.

His face, dark as charcoal, gradually showed a layer of dark red, and large beads of sweat emerged from his forehead.

As the sweat dripped down, it brought a refreshing coolness. Zhao Ge’s muscles, which had been tense, also slowly relaxed.

His breathing became more prolonged.

He could feel the toxins in his body being neutralized.

Under his robust life force, the wound on his arm healed rapidly.

After a period of rest.

Zhao Ge regained his basic ability to move.

He picked up the long spear beside him and looked up to see the towering and thick walls of the Yellow Earth Fortress.

The wall was over three hundred meters high, the bricks weathered and worn. Looking up from the base was almost like staring up at a steep mountain peak.

Zhao Ge guessed that this fortress was even more formidable than the famous mountains within the Dynasty.

After all, to build this fortress, the Zhou Dynasty had paid countless costs, many legendary generals had died here. The walls still bore murals of these generals, and with dedicated maintenance, even after a thousand years, the expressions on these generals’ faces remained vivid, majestic without anger.

The wall had once protected the newborn dynasty for a long time.

But now, with the ancestors’ eighteen campaigns, many large fortresses were established at the front lines of the Mythical Battlefield, and the Yellow Earth Fortress gradually fell into a rear base. Nowadays, there were rarely any large-scale demon attacks here. Their patrol squad had become what people called a comfortable and idle assignment.

Zhao Ge did not enjoy such a life.

He preferred the days of slaying demons at the frontline, a life filled with exciting vengeance.

Though dangerous, he could obtain more resources; between life and death, one naturally could have profound realizations and rapid progress.

Life rushes by; if one cannot reach the summit, they turn to dust.

“There’s nothing to fear!”

Zhao Ge rubbed his hands and sighed lightly.

He had already submitted his application report, but it would take some time before a decision was made.

A figure hurried over, a young officer with a sallow face, “Reporting!”

He placed his hand on his chest and saluted Zhao Ge, speaking succinctly, “We have found some issues.”

Zhao Ge’s originally slight bewildered expression immediately turned serious.

He nodded and said, “Take me there.”

Following the rope swiftly up to the top of the wall, a soldier covered in blood lay unconscious on the ground. Zhao Ge slightly squinted, judging by the style of this person’s armor, it should be from Pingzang Pass thousands of miles away. Beside him, an army doctor was holding a copper mirror, injecting his power and gently shaking it towards the man.

Seeing Zhao Ge arrive.

The doctor in white armor nodded and said, “Sir, there are no traces of demon possession on this man.”

“First, try to wake him up and see what happened,” Zhao Ge frowned, squatting beside the man.

Others immediately stepped aside, and the doctor took out silver needles, inserting them into several acupoints. As streams of power were injected, the needles gently vibrated, activating the hidden life force within the body. The soldier in black armor spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face still pale as gold leaf, but he finally slowly opened his eyes.

“Hiss…”

Zhao Ge had never seen such eyes.

They were utterly dark, devoid of any other emotions, filled only with pain and despair.

“Where is this?” The man’s pupils slightly contracted, then he weakly asked.

“This is Yellow Earth Pass,” Zhao Ge calmly replied, “You are temporarily safe now, what happened, and why did you come here?”

“Quick, run!”

The man suddenly widened his eyes, his waist also stiffened.

His face turned frantic, his eyes were bloodshot, and he appeared extremely agitated.

The two soldiers next to him subconsciously thought he was possessed, reaching out to subdue him, but then they were unexpectedly thrown off and heavily fell to the ground.

“What is going on with you?” Zhao Ge frowned, lunging forward.

Pressing him to the ground.

His knee firmly pinned the black-armored soldier’s chest, and his arms were held down by the resurgent soldiers.

The black-armored soldier tried to twist his body to struggle, failed, and then actually began to sob.

“What exactly happened?”

“Dead.” The soldier in black armor replied through his tears.

“Dead? Who is dead?” Zhao Ge took a deep breath, his brows deeply furrowed.

“The Heavenly King, General, warriors… all are dead, now only Yellow Earth Pass remains.” The soldier in black armor struggled weakly, his eyes vacant as he stared at the sky.

The clouds above were thick and oppressive, with occasional vast thunderclaps rolling across the wilderness.

The fierce wind howled, blowing through Zhao Ge’s disheveled hair.

Everyone was stunned, rooted to the spot. After a while, Zhao Ge exhaled a heavy breath and spoke with a grim expression, “What the devil are you talking about?”

But the soldier in black armor no longer responded.

“Snap! Snap!”

The medic beside him slapped the man’s cheek, then spoke in a normal tone, “He is dead.”

At that moment, Zhao Ge felt as if something hard was pressing against his knee. He reached into the man’s inner lining and searched, finally pulling out the object.

It felt like touching burning charcoal.

Once he saw what it was, Zhao Ge nearly threw it away.

It turned out to be a Tiger Talisman, which only the Heavenly King responsible for managing the pass was entitled to possess.

And yet, it was brought here…

If he had initially thought the man was spouting nonsensical and disruptive words.

Now, seeing the Tiger Talisman, that speech suddenly carried significant weight. Zhao Ge decisively said, “No matter what happens, we must report this immediately to the Heavenly King.”

“Keep an eye on the city walls, and remember to notify immediately if there is any unusual situation.”

“Understood!”

Zhao Ge firmly gripped the Tiger Talisman in his hand.

He rose to his feet, a strong and distant wind blew from afar, carrying a thick scent of blood.

His wide-brimmed iron helmet, in the style of a douli, was blown off his head. He staggered, almost falling off the edge of the city wall.

What had happened?

Zhao Ge looked bewildered, instinctively gripping the long spear in his hand.

In that instant, he heard a sound, like a million wild beasts roaring furiously on the battlefield.

The sound was immensely powerful, piercing through his skull.

Then, the sky was torn apart by an indescribable great force. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, blood rain poured down, and large fragments of warriors’ remains fell from the sky. Their quantity was overwhelming, their expressions filled with despair.

Zhao Ge had been stationed at the Mythical Battlefield for a hundred years, accustomed to scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but he had never encountered such a bizarre and terrifying situation.

He opened his mouth wide, screaming madly.

Blood and fragmented organs flowed down along his skin, seeping into the gaps of his armor.

The ground shook violently, and a black tide appeared on the distant land.

Upon closer inspection.

That was more terrifying than any natural disaster.

Countless demons were sprinting on the ground, their massive figures obscured by the clouds.

“The end has come, we will bring destruction.” A black sun tore through the clouds, appearing in the sky, ruthlessly scorching the entire fortress.

The Defense Magic Formation was activated immediately.

A powerful and solid barrier, appearing like an inverted jade bowl, appeared above everyone’s heads.

But even so, even the fortress built with the utmost effort of the Dynasty seemed somewhat flimsy before those monsters.

Light pierced through the barrier.

Inside the fortress, some younger soldiers with lower cultivation began to burn.

They turned into human torches darting about, desperately trying to slap the black fire burning their flesh. But doing so only tore the flesh from their bodies.

Eventually, only a pool of smashed bones remained on the ground, yet the black fire continued to burn greedily.

A roar shook the void.

“Who dares to be so presumptuous before me!” A robust figure with disheveled hair and a face like an enraged lion burst out from deep within the fortress. Holding a long spear, his muscles quickly engorged with blood, swelling with an unstoppable power, he immediately struck down towards the black sun. A violent collision occurred, the light on the black sun surged, the fortress trembled, but large grey feathers also spun down from the sky.

With the support of the formation and the power of the Earth Vein, and the cultivation of Heavenly Awakening Realm of the Heavenly King.

In the first collision, it seemed the Heavenly King had the upper hand.

Cheers erupted within the fortress.

War drums sounded, and loud cries followed.

However, from Zhao Ge’s viewpoint, he could see clearly, looking up, even the Heavenly King, who appeared as formidable as a Heavenly God descending, gradually had his face covered in despair.

Because the enemy he faced was not alone.

With lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and blood rain pouring heavily, one massive figure after another appeared in the sky.

Their aura was released without inhibition, intertwining together, their vigorous life force radiating in all directions. Ordinary people looking up couldn’t even discern their true faces, only seeing round after round of blazing suns hanging high, overlooking all beings with a domineering and unrivaled demeanor.
