Chapter 47: Remains of the Holy Angel

Woo…

Just as the vast number of Skeleton Soldiers were about to be evaporated and purified by the terrifying Holy Energy, a deep and power ful sound of a horn rang out in the valley. It was like a roar from the Undead Plane, carrying a thick Death Aura. Suddenly, the struggling Undead roared loudly, their bodies instantly growing a size larger as they forcibly forced the invading Holy Energy out of their bodies. The Yin Soul Valley, which had been shrouded in dazzling holy light, was instead covered by a gloomy Dark Mist, with gusts of eerie wind.

Undead Horn!

At the critical moment, Yisu, the Grand Commander, gritted her teeth and consumed a large amount of Magic Power to blow the Undead Horn in her hand, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop. After erasing the will of the Demon Lord and infusing a large amount of death energy, the power of this treasure had only increased. As soon as the sound of the horn rose, all the Undead were invigorated, and their strength rose greatly!

After being augmented with a large amount of violent dark energy, some Skeletons even lost control and desperately pounced on the Yin Soul army not far away. Boom, boom, after a series of earth-shattering explosions, a large swath of the dense Yin Souls fell down, revealing a huge gap in the originally dense Yin Soul Grand Formation.

Looking through the gap, one could see a thousand-meter-high Gate of Heaven lying on the ground, with more than half of it buried in the cold soil. Perhaps due to wind and rain, or perhaps due to damage, it only emitted a faint circle of holy light, but the holy Angel reliefs on the door frame were still clearly visible. In front of the Gate of Heaven, there was a pitch-black cross tombstone, and lying beside it was a huge, one-armed female Angel hundreds of meters tall. Deep white bone was exposed in many places, looking like a lifeless wreckage. But her whole body still emitted a terrifying pressure; every time her heart beat, it surged with a massive amount of Holy Energy. That pressure from a superior being deep in the soul was more than a hundred times stronger than Sword Saint Hei Mu!

Remains of a Sixteenth Step Holy Angel?

Hu Feng’s pupils constricted, and his heart was so nervous it almost jumped out!

As creatures at the top of the food chain, Angels innately possessed the strength of the Fourteenth Step. After advancing to the Fifteenth Step and becoming an Archangel, their combat power was even more terrifying, more formidable than the Human Race’s Sword Saint and Magic Saint. Advancing to the Sixteenth Step, one had detached from the realm of ordinary creatures and become a divine Holy Angel; this was equivalent to the Human Race’s Demi-god Realm, only half a step away from stepping into the Divine Domain Realm and becoming a high and mighty god-like existence.

Sword Saint Hei Mu was already unbeatable, so how terrifying was the combat power of a Holy Angel who was a hundred times stronger than him?

Hu Feng’s hands and feet turned cold; he didn’t expect to step right into a hornet’s nest!

“Lowly Undead, do you wish to challenge the majesty of a Holy Angel?”

The one-armed female Angel lying on the ground stood up, her face cold. With a light wave of the sharp blade in her hand, a cold light streaked through the air, and the leading thousand Skeleton Warriors were instantly cut in two. No matter how hard the heavy armor was, it was vulnerable in front of her sharp blade. With a slash of the blade into the Void, the Dark Mist that had permeated the entire valley vanished into thin air, replaced once again by dazzling holy light. Wisps of black smoke rose again from the Skeletons’ bodies. In an instant, Yisu, the Grand Commander at the forefront, bore huge pressure; the bones all over her body creaked, as if they might scatter with the wind at any moment.

A Sixteenth Step Holy Angel in the Demi-god Realm… with just one move, every Undead present felt their hands and feet turn cold as if it were the end of the world, sensing a boundless pressure.

Hoo…

Hu Feng abruptly spread his massive Dark Wings, instantly appearing behind Yisu. His left arm wrapped around her slender waist to input a continuous stream of Magic Power, while his right hand held the Dark Magic Pen, dancing like a dragon and phoenix to write profound Runes. Behind him, the ancient and mottled Soul Summoning Banner moved without wind. An ancient, majestic, and mighty voice came from afar, like the blessing of a Demon God. In the Void, streams of majestic and pure Death Aura appeared, like gas, like water, seeping into every Undead’s body and driving out the Holy Energy in the valley. All the Undead raised their heads in unison, opening their mouths wide to let out a shout from the depths of their souls.

Undead Roar!

The roar of one Skeleton was powerless, and the shouts of ten Skeletons were insignificant, but the roar of nearly a hundred thousand Skeletons together was enough to form a violent soul attack. In an instant, the Yin Soul army blocking the Lich Legion collapsed at the touch, their souls submerged in the terrifying soul storm. Even the massive Holy Angel couldn’t help but retreat a few steps, her face turning even paler!

As soon as the powerful Holy Angel stood up, Hu Feng understood that there was no way to retreat unscathed this time. If he didn’t go all out to counterattack, the entire Lich Legion might be buried here. At the critical moment, the Lich Castle’s treasure, the Soul Summoning Banner, once again displayed its powerful might. The cracks that were already impossible to repair grew larger, but it still forcibly drove out the massive Holy Energy bit by bit, and the thick Dark Mist once again shrouded the Yin Soul Valley.

“Huh, the Blood Fiend War Flag of the Black Sky Demon God?”

Looking at the Soul Summoning Banner behind Hu Feng, the Holy Angel’s expression changed. Hu Feng and the others did not recognize the true face of the Soul Summoning Banner, but she could not forget this top-tier Divine Artifact that had been infamous in the Divine Kingdom in the past. She was originally preparing to attack and plunder it, to snatch it and refine it into her own weapon, but thinking of the fierce might of the Black Sky Demon God back then, she hesitated again and again and dared not make a move.

The Demon God Grand Commander who commanded millions of Demon Lords… even if there was only a wisp of remnant thought of the Black Sky Demon God within the iron-blooded banner, it was far from something a mere Holy Angel like her could deal with!

“Lowly Undead, if you don’t want to die, stay away from this valley and never take another step in!” The Holy Angel looked coldly at Hu Feng standing on the Chariot. With a thought, the massive pressure vanished completely.

“This is the Cursed Valley, not the Bright Summit of the Divine Court. Every inch of land here is the territory of the Lich King!” Hu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the Holy Angel’s outward strength but inner weakness, and even detecting that the other party’s power was constantly fading, unable to maintain even the pretense of pressure. Her injuries were more severe than they appeared. After a pause, he slowly continued: “It’s not impossible to lend you this valley to heal your wounds. Tell me, how will you compensate our Lich Legion for the losses this time? Every year, how much Crystal Marrow will you offer as tribute?”

Starve the timid to death, burst the bold to death; looking at the shocking wounds on the Holy Angel’s left shoulder and chest, Hu Feng thought of a bold and crazy idea.

Just as Hei Mu Sword Saint said, exploring and hunting in the Wasteland alone is not feasible; one needs to carry powerful War Pets. But for Hu Feng, who swore to cultivate to the Divine Domain Peak, ordinary high-level creatures were not worth a glance, lest they not only fail to help on the battlefield at critical moments but also hold him back. Instead of wasting time searching everywhere for powerful high-level creatures, it was better to start with what was nearby. This powerful Holy Angel before him was undoubtedly the best choice.

With a powerful Sixteenth Step Holy Angel assisting, anything below the Saint Domain would be instantly killed!

“The Gate of Heaven is mine, and you are mine too, not one less!”

Looking at the Holy Angel standing in front of the Gate of Heaven, Hu Feng tightly gripped the Dark Magic Pen in his hand, secretly deciding to obtain this severely injured Angel before him at all costs. The massive Lich Legion could be rebuilt if lost, but if he missed the opportunity to tame a severely injured Sixteenth Step creature, it would be hard to encounter such a chance again in the future.
