Volume 3, Chapter 71 – The Sun That Brings Death

The dark clouds were torn apart by invisible force, dissipating without a trace in an instant, and the sky suddenly cleared.

Faced with this situation, everyone initially didn’t notice anything unusual.

Instead, they thought it was a sign that the evil god forces had withdrawn and peace had returned to heaven and earth.

No need to fight desperately with Corrupted Beasts, their homeland could be preserved.

The hearts of Qingyun Kingdom’s soldiers were naturally filled with joy at this moment.

Many excited and elated soldiers even opened their arms, wanting to welcome the descending sunlight. After all, since the Vassals of Sky began their attack, Qingyun Kingdom’s sky had been almost constantly shrouded in shadow.

However, before people could look up to welcome the anticipated sunlight, the light descending from heaven chilled everyone to the bone.

—”Daylight Heaven”—

Dazzling light bloomed in the high sky.

However,

That wasn’t the warm, comforting sunlight the soldiers had been expecting, but pale white death light, pouring down from the sky like bones.

Though the light was clearly white and blinding, it carried a bone-chilling aura that made souls tremble.

The moment the light touched the ground, the entire fortress city shook, and countless defensive barriers and high-energy shields that had been deployed for so long proved as useless as paper, instantly penetrated by the death light, rendered meaningless.

The army prepared to intercept the Vassals of Sky was thus enveloped by the pale white light.

The next moment………..

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

“Ahhhhh!! My, my, my hand?! My face!”

“What’s happening?!! Why is it suddenly starting to melt?!”

“Help!! Save me! I don’t want to die ahhhhhhh!”

Heart-rending screams immediately erupted from all corners of the fortress.

Countless soldiers and technical personnel looked up at the sky in terror, but had no time to react before letting out piercing wails under the death light’s illumination. Their bodies began to twist and dissolve within mere seconds, skin melting like wax, flesh dripping, bones exposed, finally becoming pools of crimson blood on the ground, devoid of any trace of life.

Even the soldiers hiding in steel war vehicles and high-grade mechas couldn’t escape. That pale white death light seemed capable of penetrating all matter, acting directly on the source of life. No matter how many defensive layers, no matter whether their bodies were mechanically enhanced, once touched by the light, none could escape death.

In an instant, the entire fortress city fell into a scene of collapsing hell.

The laughter that had remained in the square due to the Corrupted Beast horde’s withdrawal was instantly shattered, replaced by deafening wails and cries. Blood flowed down stairs and gutters, staining the metal floors red.

The communication channels echoed with intermittent calls for help, while the command system fell into paralysis under the terrifying energy interference.

The air was filled with the bloody and burnt smell after incineration, yet the death light in the sky showed no signs of weakening. Instead, it grew ever stronger, like a cleansing from the heavens, swallowing the entire fortress in pale white flames.

“What, what the hell……. what the hell is this light!”

Mu Yelan’s pupils contracted violently at this moment. Standing on high ground, he watched the entire fortress collapse in this silent catastrophe, terror surging like turbulent waves in his heart.

As a Divine Departure Realm expert,

After mobilizing all his power for protection, though Mu Yelan was in pain, he barely managed to withstand the death light’s illumination.

He hadn’t been pitifully melted to death like most Qingyun Kingdom soldiers… but this scene had already killed the heart of this Qingyun Kingdom emperor.

However,

Mu Yelan still quickly suppressed the gradually losing control emotions in his heart, fiercely raising his head to glare at the sky.

Was this why the Black Meteor Dragon King had just retreated?

He couldn’t just sit and wait for death,

Otherwise the entire army would be annihilated sooner or later………

“Mu Qianwu!! Quickly destroy that sun!!!”

Mu Yelan screamed hysterically at Mu Qianwu, Qingyun Kingdom’s First Legion Commander and his own uncle.

As the voice reached their ears,

The three Divine Departure Realm experts led by Mu Qianwu looked up at the eerie white sun hanging high in the sky, their eyes filled with gravity and determination.

“That thing…………”

Rеаԁ оn KαtRеаⅾіnɡСаfе

Staring fixedly at the eerie white sun, Mu Qianwu said seriously in a low voice.

Obviously,

These top-tier experts had all realized.

The “sun” high in the sky wasn’t a true celestial body, but a terrifying existence radiating pale white death light, as if condensed with endless curses and destructive will. Suspended in the firmament, like a cold eye looking down on all living beings………

It must be destroyed!

“Yes! Your Majesty!”

Gripping the giant sword in his hand, Mu Qianwu let out a low roar with the emotion of facing death without regret.

The next instant,

The three top-tier fighters of Qingyun Kingdom almost simultaneously mobilized all the spiritual power in their bodies, spiritual light bursting forth, like three meteors streaking through the deathly silence. They flew upward against the death light, spiritual power surging throughout their bodies, contending with that blazing soul-burning death light.

As they continuously approached that eerie sun, the burning intensity suffered by Mu Qianwu and the others increased linearly. Their skin rapidly cracked under the death light, flesh charred black, yet they showed no intention of retreating, only to charge close to that sinful source and destroy it.

They also understood clearly that if they didn’t shatter this eerie ‘sun’,

Qingyun Kingdom’s final defense line would inevitably collapse,

And then, the entire country would be finished.

However,

Just when Mu Qianwu and the others approached within a hundred zhang of that eerie “sun”, sudden changes occurred.

The ‘sun’ immediately burst forth with even more intense light.

Under the illumination of the grim white light, violent mental fluctuations suddenly invaded their consciousness, as if countless whispers were murmuring in the depths of their minds, sneering, tempting, tearing at their will.

In an instant, the pupils of the three Divine Departure Realm experts began to tremble violently, their breathing became disordered, their expressions gradually twisted, and their originally firm will began to collapse.

“Ahhhh…………”

One of the black-haired legion commanders couldn’t help but roar in pain, holding his head with both hands, spiritual power in chaos, and his expression beginning to become maniacal.

“No, not good……. this light?! It’s a mental attack……..”

Rеаd οո ΚаtReαdingCafе

Pressing his eyes, Mu Qianwu immediately felt intense unease.

Vaguely,

He had already guessed what would happen next.

To avoid the worst situation, Mu Qianwu unhesitatingly placed his giant sword against his own neck.

Unfortunately,

He was still a step too slow. Just as he raised his giant sword, the rationality in Mu Qianwu’s eyes had already faded.

The next moment,

Under the stunned gaze of Mu Yelan and others below, these legion commanders who should have been destroying the eerie ‘sun’ suddenly changed their flight trajectory, no longer charging toward the sun, but suddenly turning back, plummeting straight down toward the fortress Chengluo like falling meteors!

The three Divine Departure Realm legion commanders had originally been the faith in the hearts of Qingyun Kingdom’s soldiers.

But now, their expressions had been twisted by madness, with only crimson and killing intent remaining in their eyes.

At this critical moment of life and death, not only did they fail to turn the tide, but they swung their butcher’s blades toward their own Qingyun Kingdom army.

They roared, falling into the fortress like starving beasts, frantically slaughtering their own comrades. Spiritual power transformed into soul-devouring storms, taking away fresh lives one after another………

The entire fortress city had already fallen into collapse due to the death light, and now it sank even deeper into the mire of despair due to the three legion commanders’ betrayal.

“Uncle!!! What are you doing!!!”

Mu Yelan’s eyes were filled with disbelief as he roared with all his might.

However,

His roar couldn’t restore Mu Qianwu’s sanity. On the contrary, it attracted the other party’s attention.

The next instant,

Under Mu Yelan’s terrified gaze, Mu Qianwu flash-stepped to Mu Yelan’s front and mercilessly swung his sword down.

—”Your Majesty! Retreat quickly!!”—

Rеаⅾ οn КatRеαԁіnɡСаfе

Accompanied by a roar, Xiao Xuanyu, another legion commander guarding beside Mu Yelan, directly rushed to Mu Yelan’s side, grabbed Mu Yelan, and suddenly retreated backward, successfully avoiding Mu Qianwu’s strike.

When the giant sword fell, the high tower it hit directly collapsed, and the entire city was even split in half by Mu Qianwu’s sword, with a bottomless chasm appearing in the city center.

“Your Majesty!! Let’s go!! If we don’t leave now it’ll be too late!!”

Not caring about the previous order to defend the fortress to the death, carrying Mu Yelan, this remaining legion commander unhesitatingly fled toward the rear.

The death light like a canopy,

Plus three Divine Departure Realm experts who had gone mad, and the Corrupted Beast horde watching menacingly in the distance……. the outcome of this battle was already decided.

Therefore, Xiao Xuanyu retreated with Mu Yelan without saying a word.

Regarding this,

Mu Yelan didn’t speak either, but looked at the nearby Mu Qianwu with disbelief.

From that strike just now, his uncle had swung his sword at him with killing intent.

His uncle, who had always been loyal to him, and the other two legion commanders would actually do such a thing?! This was undoubtedly beyond Mu Yelan’s expectations.

After approaching the ‘sun’, they made such abnormal actions? As if their wills had all been twisted?

Twisting the will of Divine Departure Realm experts………

Only monsters of that level could do such a thing………

Thinking of this, an extremely despairing speculation quietly emerged in Mu Yelan’s mind.

The next moment,

Mu Yelan clenched his fists, slowly raised his head, and with extremely hateful and angry eyes, stared fixedly at the eerie ‘sun’ in the sky, stared at the huge pale white phantom hidden in the sun’s center.

Lord of Sky,

Celestial Blight………

—”Ulutiel!! You damn killer! Even if I, Mu Yelan, die!! I will definitely make you pay the price!!”
