Divine Brilliance

The moment they got close to the wall, thousands of arrows flew and landed over in their direction. Numerous needles struck over, covering the entire sky.

It wasn’t as strong as Shen Yuexuan’s five-element needles but it wasn’t much weaker.

Yuan Wushang was the first to react. He was going to use the Spiritual Explosion Technique to explode all these arrows. Shen Yuexuan hollered, “The Mohist Faction puppet can’t take this head-on. Let me handle this…”

Yuan Wushang was stunned and stopped when he heard this. Numerous balls of light shot out from his hand.

They spread out in the air, forming a high speed turning golden net. It spun forwards and pretty much covered all the space in the area.

The arrow rain was all swept within the net. Nothing was left out. Then, they fell towards the side.

In just a moment, all the black needles broke apart.

Inside, there was a huge variety of things. Some had toxins, some accelerated space, some had a second explosive force, lock-on spells… a variety of weird stuff.

Yuan Wushang broke out in a cold sweat. Looking at the situation, he knew the outcome of taking it head-on. Even if he didn’t die a layer of skin would be ripped off from him.

“Mohist Faction people are so scheming. To think you all could think of such a method…”

Shen Yuexuan’s lips curled up into a smile. He seemed to be more relaxed than worried.

The more problematic the puppets were, the more it proved that the Mohist Faction was really strong 10,000 years ago!

Zong Shou had a really serious expression on his face. This was the army of 300,000 puppets that the Qin Emperor ordered the Mohist Faction to craft for him.

He originally thought that no matter how strong they were, they would at most be at Big Dipper Sword Soldier level.

However, looking at the city walls, each puppet had at least Grade Seven and above strength!

Along with the weapons and machinery that the Mohist Faction crafted, it would definitely not be much weaker than the 300,000 Great Qin iron cavalry.

There was a reason why the Qin Emperor used these wooden puppets instead of the corpse army to defend the palace.

Shen Yuexuan shot out many spiral nets. Although they weren’t Celestial Treasures, it allowed the six of them to get within 1,000 feet of the palace walls without taking any damage.

At this moment, Zong Shou sensed eight corpse generals gathering in the area. Apart from that, the Qin iron cavalry were all swiftly moving over.

They really paid a lot of attention to him by sending so many troops…

Zong Shou shook his head in disdain and then sped up.

At that instant, several sharp vengeful energies struck over.

“Preposterous! Kid, you really are bold!”

“Scram back to where you came from!”

“Anyone who dares come here will be slain!”

A full eight Saint Realm experts joined hands and pretty much locked down all of the space forwards.

Even Lin Xuanxuan, who was half a step to End Realm, frowned.

Four of them were true Saint Grade Corpse Generals! Using the strength of the army, they were really strong. Even Lin Xuanxuan, when she wasn’t restricted by the Dragon Formation and was at full strength would find them tough to handle.

She couldn’t help but think about avoiding them, but Zong Shou once again sped up.

“We can only go forwards and we can’t retreat. Attack!”

He didn’t hold a sword. The silver ants behind him formed up.

The moment the Saint Silver Demon Slaying Formation was formed, it felt like a pair of silver wings were flapping behind him.

More and more wings started to form. Life and Death Wings, Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash Wings, Black and White Wings!

They all spread out to more than 90,000 feet. The Juntian Heaven Flame Armor around his fists also gave out a white flame.

He clashed head-on with the blade energies that swept over, causing the entire space to shake.

Zong Shou continued to retreat. During the clash, he was obviously at a disadvantage.

In the next moment, his soul body was tossed out from his physical body.

One Origin, God Refined… The two sword artifacts one on the left and one on the right, instantly sweeping forward a blade storm.

A pair of fists were covered in black and white. There was also a silver knife light which flashed into the distance.

Zimu Falling Leaf, Six God Celestial Slaying!

The Buddhist Faction Unlimited Beginning and End Body! Only when one used the soul body could it reach its strongest!

Chuxue’s body instantly flashed and protected Zong Shou’s physical body.

Lin Xuanxuan burst out laughing. She nearly forgot that her Junior Nephew was extremely strong.

Without hesitation, she stabbed forwards. The sword turned into Mixed Pure Energy, leaving no room to retreat!

They could only advance! If they didn’t break through, then they would die!

Hong!

Sword energy spun and reverberated out. Under the clashing of thousands of sword waves, the wall-like energy was broken layer by layer!

Zong Shou’s fists were really overbearing. The two black holes absorbed and spat out energy!

The energy opposite them which was close to 10 times stronger was being smashed and wiped out!

In the distance, one of the eight generals held his throat with his hands. His eyes were filled with shock as he quickly retreated.

A silver knife had pierced his throat. The Celestial Slaying Knife Formation within was slaying all the energy within his body, all of the corpse energy within.

Their close to flawless defense was now riddled with weaknesses because they were retreating.

Lin Xuanxuan smiled. She sped up to be even faster than Zong Shou. With one sword, she forcefully smacked the thick palace walls.

The moment the sword slashed down, everything turned into Mixed Pure Energy!

The 700-foot thick walls which had dozens of protective formations was smashed with just that one sword.

The area in front of the six of them opened up. As the dust settled, one could see the hundreds of thousands of Big Dipper Sword Soldiers forming up.

Tens of thousands of cavalry also arrived.

Zong Shou didn’t bother to continue dealing with these few corpse generals.

Before the army formed up, they smashed the city walls. There was nothing in front of them to block them anymore. He had reached his goal.

“Retreat!”

Zong Shou retracted his dharma once more and returned to his body.

The hundreds of Instant Space Stars and the Book of Eon accelerated time by 10 times!

With a flap of his wings, he brought the six of them to leave in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

The few corpse generals that were blocking them hollered out in rage.

Dozens of breaths later, Zong Shou landed in an empty side hall.

The Ahfang Palace was really huge, spanning 100 miles from east to west. Although there were a million corpse soldiers and 300,000 Mohist Faction puppets, there were always some places that were left out.

The only things he had to be careful about were the restrictions and traps. Shen Yuexuan was the master of them.

Especially after the second core was activated, Shen Yuexuan was able to comprehend and understand the formations more, such that when they were moving along the palace, they didn’t even trigger a single trap.

Zong Shou started to sweat. Using both the Star Dao Seeds and the Book of Eon while turning the six of them into light as they moved sucked him dry.

However, he was still fully focused, using the Illusionary Heart Mirror and Sky Fox ability to protect them.

Without needing him to instruct, Su Xiaoxiao used the Yuan Demon Seven Emotion Technique to cover the area.

However, her ability was only useful to people who were alive and could affect artifact spirits. The Mohist Faction puppets didn’t have a mind of their own, so she couldn’t handle them.

Luckily, they defended the palace walls and there weren’t many nearby.

“My vital energy has been suppressed. It must be the 12 Copper Men!”

Lin Xuanxuan rubbed her temples, her face filled with impatience.

At this moment, she only had a tenth of her strength. The Dragon Formation and the 12 Copper Men worked together.

Not only did they twist laws, but they also halted vital energy such that it couldn’t cycle normally.

There was a certain power that was also interfering with the energy flow.

Zong Shou frowned. This time even if he had the Unlimited Beginning and End ability, he was unable to do anything.

He tried to clench his fists but then helplessness appeared in his eyes. His strength was only at 50%.

“I finally know why the End Realm Saint Venerables didn’t try to suppress this Qin Emperor. Why they were so respectful of him…”

Yuan Wushang laughed bitterly, “Even if End Realm people get here they might die.”

“After Mo Zi disappeared for no reason, no End Realms appeared. The Mohist Faction slowly got suppressed. Thus, a few blacksmiths have been studying how to restrict End Realm experts. We placed our hope in the puppets. However, as we weren’t rich enough we started to work with the Qin Emperor. These 12 Copper Men are our greatest achievement, so obviously, they are strong.”

Shen Yuexuan said expressionlessly as several talismans flew out from his hands in many directions.

They all exploded and numerous spiritual patterns spread about the palace. Apart from the few buildings which had many restrictions, there was no dead end and nothing had been missed out.

Shen Yuexuan focused and said hesitantly after a short while, “There are seven waves of people who have entered. However, none of them are doing anything.”

Ahfang Palace was defended well and although there were dozens of Saint Realms who could charge in, not all of them were like Zong Shou who had three Grade Twelve abilities, the Book of Eon, and such insane movement techniques?

Most of the small sect cultivators weren’t even able to enter the tomb.

“I sensed Xufu!”

Lin Xuanxuan looked towards the main hall, “As expected, he has reached End Realm! His strength isn’t below that of Yuanjing. Once he succeeds he will exceed your Master Dragon Shadow. However, there seems to be a battle there. It is in chaos…”

Zong Shou instantly knew that Mingri Xuan had clashed with him.

Did he succeed? Did he escape safely?

He also sensed Xufu. This person was unaffected in the tomb.

With how they were all greatly suppressed, one could imagine how strong that person was.

“Although this Xufu is a problem, he has to focus on reviving the Qin Emperor. If not, the people here might forget about the treasures and just leave this place.”

Lin Xuanxuan’s eyes shone as she looked at Zong Shou, “What are you planning to do now?”
