“His intelligence is not up to this standard, it can’t be!”
Beads of cold sweat were rolling down Mo Yin’s and Consort Tian Si’s forehead. They quickly shouted, “Clan Master Pan, Clan Master Pan! Stop the search for King Yi, hurry and send us to the Heaven Breaching Fortress!”
Pan Ji moved up and said, “With King Yi’s injuries, he won’t go far, why aren’t we taking the chance…”
“Not enough time! He is dragging our time while recuperating his injuries. When he is fully recovered, none of us will be able to reach the Heaven Breaching Fortress before him!”
Mo Yin replied, “If he returns to the Heaven Breaching Fortress before us, our armies outside of the fortress will face total annihilation! Leave the navy fleet behind, send us back to the Heaven Breaching Fortress first!”
Pan Ji felt the cold traveling down his spine and he quickly brought Mo Yin and Consort Tian Si back toward the Heaven Breaching Fortress. But even as a peak Imperial Emperor, it would take over a month’s time for him to return to the Heaven Breaching Fortress.
At the same time, Zhong Yue was also rushing back to the Heaven Breaching Fortress. His injuries were mostly healed now. When using the innate meat wings, he was much faster than Pan Ji’s speed!
After a dozen days, the Heaven Breaching Fortress was already in his vicinity. Zhong Yue sneaked into the stars and slipped into the Heaven Breaching Fortress through the many layers of dimensions.
Outside of the Heaven Breaching Fortress, the Heaven Court’s forces had surrounded it with no openings. It was impossible for him to just walk into the Heaven Breaching Fortress directly, but Zhong Yue had his ways to slip past the forces to the Heaven Breaching Fortress.
In the Heaven Breaching Fortress, King Zi Guang and the generals were in a meeting. Mu Suxian, Mu Sutian, and the princes were also in the meeting. They also invited Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi together.
He said, “King Yi is hindered on his way, but he will arrive in another few days…”
“I’ve already arrived.” A voice interrupted and they looked over. The dimensions rippled and Zhong Yue walked out of blank space, appearing inside of the meeting hall.
King Zi Guang quickly stood up and said, “King Yi, I’ve failed you. Just after your departure, I’ve brought our forces to a terrible defeat. I am embarrassed to see you!”
Zhong Yue’s face was cold like ice, he questioned frigidly, “Senior martial brother, even when your ability is unable to take down the Heaven Court’s forces, such a terrible defeat is still not possible. You were more than enough to hold the ground, so why did it turn out like this?”
King Zi Guang glimpsed over Mu Suxian and Mu Sutian in hesitation. Mu Sutian stepped forward and cleared his throat, he explained, “We underestimated them and fell into Mo Yin’s schemes. He lured us to the Heavenly River and Mister Zi Guang was forced into a battle with Mo Yin to save us. Then, Mo Yin used the chance and seized the Purple City.”
Zhong Yue frowned softly and looked at King Zi Guang, the latter cleared his throat and said, “They are His Majesty’s reinforcements. His Majesty has a million descendants, they were sent here to partake in the war. Every single one of them is incredibly strong. This is Mu Suxian and this is Mu Sutian. The princes are both incredible warriors, Imperial Emperors themselves.”
Mu Suxian and Mu Sutian bowed and greeted, “Mister Yi.”
Zhong Yue didn’t greet back and asked instead, “Senior martial brother, how many forces do you still have left in your Purple City? And how many are left in my Heaven Breaching Fortress?”
King Zi Guang mulled, “Twenty percent of what’s originally in the Purple City, roughly 14 million soldiers. The Heaven Breaching Fortress didn’t suffer many casualties, only ten million gods.”
Zhong Yue’s face darkened right away, he smirked coldly, “So the costs to save a few princes are a terrible defeat and over hundreds of millions of soldiers! Senior Martial Brother Zi Guang, why do you still have these two sinners here in the meeting hall? Do you have no respect for the military’s law and order? Men! Drag these two sinners out to the God Slaying Stage and behead them!”
King Zi Guang’s face changed drastically while Mu Suxian and Mu Sutian were enraged. The two princes shouted, “Yi Feng! We are princes, you dare to behead us?”
“You are only our father’s servant, how dare you try to kill us?”
Meanwhile, Fu Li, Fu Qizhi, and the rest cast out the Fusang Divine Tree and oppressed the two princes, sealing their powers away.
Zhong Yue waved his hand and ordered, “Bring them to the God Slaying Stage.”
Mu Suxian and Mu Sutian were shocked and incensed, while King Zi Guang quickly said, “King Yi, don’t! They are the cause, but they are, after all, His Majesty’s sons. If you kill them…”
“In the military, a prince and a servant are both treated by the merits they and are punished equally for the crimes they commit. Else, what’s the point of having military law? The princes have committed a crime that cost the lives of a hundred million soldiers, what use do they have here?”
Zhong Yue smile was one of mockery, “Senior Martial Brother Zi Guang, have you not thought of killing them?”
King Zi Guang hesitated, he looked at the two Imperial Emperors, Long Zhi and Jiao Teng, then he said, “But the princes are Imperial Emperor’s sons. They are cherished by His Majesty. Why don’t we keep them alive for now and let them make up for their crimes with merits?”
Long Zhi shook, “The nephews are too recalcitrant, they nearly ruined everything we have all worked for from the start and thinking that they could get away just because of their father. If they are left untouched, the soldiers will not be satisfied and it will be hard to command them anymore.”
Jiao Teng smirked coldly, “Don’t look at me, I won’t give a damn for their lives. Their foolish decision nearly cost even my life!”
Mu Suxian looked at Tai Feng, Nu Fang, and Yi Tianjun, and pleaded, “Uncle, aunty, save us!”
Tai Feng, Nu Fang, and Yi Tianjun were Mu Xiantian’s sworn siblings. They were originally in charge of the Heaven Riding Fortress’s and Shield Wall Fortress’s safety. When King Zi Guang was ordered to reinforce the forces for the battle of the Imperial Star, the two fortresses’ armies also followed him.
During the last battle in the Heavenly River, their soldiers also suffered great casualties and they too nearly died on the battlefield.
The three peaked Imperial Emperors hesitated. Then, Tai Feng softly shook, and the other two who were planning to help also stopped.
The soldiers escorted the two princes to the God Slaying Stage while Zhong Yue summoned the generals. He glanced across the gods with a pair of eyes cold like ice. Then, he had Hundun Yu to read out the princes’ crimes and ordered them to be beheaded.
It was at that moment, that a prince suddenly rushed onto the stage. He was shouting, “Stop! King Yi, if you really want to kill my brothers now, then you might as well also kill me together! I will die with my brothers!”
Another few dozens of princes rushed up to the stage, they shouted, “King Yi, you are just the Mu Family’s servant, how dare you try to kill your masters now! If you want our brothers’ heads, then go ahead and come and try to take away ours too!”
The princes and princesses were agitated, they swarmed up on stage and shouted, “Come and kill us all if you have the guts to behead all of us! Let’s see how will father kill you!”
There were some of them trying to release Mu Sutian and Mu Suxian from the shackles. They were all condemning him, “You rebellious dog! How dare you behead your masters!”
“Let our brothers go today, in light of the meritorious deeds you have done for the Mu Family, we will let this slide!”
…
King Zi Guang’s face changed drastically, he quickly looked at Zhong Yue, whose face remained unchange. Immediately, King Zi Guang knew things would turn incredibly sour and wrong today.
“Whoever stands on the stage will face the same sentence.”
Zhong Yue was indifferent, he cast out the Innate Divine Saber and tossed it to the front of Sovereign Ning’s legs, he ordered, “Commence the execution.”
Sovereign Ning finally moved, he raised the divine saber and slashed down at Mu Suxian’s head. With a bright flash, Mu Suxian’s head rolled to the ground, his blood sprinkled out of his neck to be absorbed away by the God Slaying Stage.
Then, Sovereign Ning walked toward Mu Sutian, he swung the saber again and beheaded the second prince!
The God Slaying Stage was aroused, the princes and princesses were shocked and angered. They didn’t expect Zhong Yue to really have the guts to still behead Mu Sutian and Mu Suxian.
Fu Li and Fu Lie grabbed on a princess on her arms and dragged her to the center of the stage. Then, Sovereign Ning swung the saber and beheaded the princess.
After that, Fu Li and Fu Lie did the same to another prince, whom Sovereign Ning executed again.
One after another, nearly twenty princes and princesses were executed on the stage. The rest of them changed their faces drastically and shivered in horror. They quickly leaped down and fled from the God Slaying Stage, leaving the stage with only the executioners on it.
“Gentlemen, return to your posts!”
Zhong Yue stood up, his voice trembled the Heaven Breaching Fortress and the generals flew up into the sky, returning to their armies.
At that moment, the mounts made no noise, the weapons clanked no more, the soldiers spoke no words. The armies stood straight and their heads were high, staring at Zhong Yue quietly, even their breaths were so soft they couldn’t be heard!
“Under my rule, meritorious deeds will always be rewarded and crimes will never go unpunished. Prince, princess, soldiers, or servants, wherever my sword points at, the armies will charge forward; whatever my orders are, you will follow strictly. In my army, there are no princes nor are there princesses!”
Zhong Yue’s aura rumbled out, and his voice was cold and solemn, “My army can shatter even the Heavenly River, my army can break even the strongest force. We are invincible, we are undefeatable, not even the Heaven Court can stop our march!”
“Whatever you want, I will give it to you!”
“Now, raise your swords, and we fight!”
The Heaven Breaching Fortress’s morale boiled and the billions of soldiers became enlivened. Zhong Yue charged to the front with the Xian Tian Royal Guards and rushed out of the gates. He was shouting, “Follow me, ready your weapons and I will bring you to the future you desire!”
“Kill!”
The soldiers turned mad. They rushed out of the Heaven Breaching Fortress under the lead of their generals and charged toward the enemies outside of the fortress.
King Zi Guang was stupefied at the development of the situation. The dejectedness of the armies before this was suddenly replaced by a ferocious battle spirit as they clashed with the enemies with no fear of death seen on their faces!
“This… King Yi, no wonder you are undefeated on the battlefield!”
King Zi Guang praised, he said to Di Xiuluo who was beside him, “This is the god of war, the undefeated, invincible god of war. On the battlefield, I am no match for him.”
“I’m hungry.” Di Xiuluo said.
King Zi Guang was helpless, he waved his hand and said, “You can go too, but strictly follow King Yi’s orders; else, he might even execute you on the God Slaying Stage.”
Di Xiuluo immediately strode out of the Heaven Breaching Fortress into the battlefield.
King Zi Guang frowned, he looked at the headless corpse of the princes and princesses on the God Slaying Stage with a headache. He murmured, “Now, the aftermath is really hard to settle. If Imperial Emperor was still his celestial true body, it would still be fine, but the one in charge is his demon true body, I’m afraid…”
He shook his head, walked onto the God Slaying Stage and kept the corpses.
“Du—— Du——”
Warhorns sounded outside of the fortress. The battle grew even more ferocious as the Heaven Court’s morale was suddenly raised. King Zi Guang walked onto the fortress wall. He looked out to trace the sound and saw a Bi Xie Deity Emperor hovering in midair above the Heaven Court’s forces, blowing a warhorn.
“The Horn of War!”
King Zi Guang was surprised, he conducted his psyche to Zhong Yue and said, “King Yi, there is a Bi Xie Deity Emperor in the Heaven Court’s forces. The Horn of War is blown and their morales are raised! No matter how much you kill, their morale will not fall, they will never surrender and will fight to the last drop of blood!”
“Never surrender?”
Zhong Yue was startled, he traced the warhorn’s sound and smiled, “Then we need only kill every last of them!”
