Chapter 1724 Immortal Lord Zhan Lu, You Didn't Lie to Me (2)
The person in the lead was a middle-aged man with an extremely cold expression. He was the first disciple of Immortal Lord Zhan Lu.
He was the commander of the left-wing war zone of the cultivators, Immortal Monarch Silent Dao!
He had teleported over from the flesh millstone-like left-wing war zone and arrived here with his army.
The moment he appeared, he emitted a monstrous baleful aura. The cold light in his eyes seemed to want to freeze the universe as he headed straight for… the goddess!
The god's side instantly rumbled.
It seemed this was the plan of the Immortal Lord of Zhan Lu all along: to use the left-wing battlefield as a beacon to draw all attention, secretly arrange for mysterious cultivators to assassinate the True God, and ultimately lure the goddess into the open.
His goal seemed to have been this goddess from the start.
This was because Starry Eyes Luan was the only descendant of the Lord God who was fighting against Immortal Lord Zhan Lu.
She also inherited Her father's bloodline divine authority. If She could be subdued, then it was highly possible that on a higher plane of existence, Immortal Lord Zhan Lu would gain even greater momentum!
And so, a battle of a scale far exceeding anything that had come before erupted here without warning. It involved over a hundred True Gods, numerous immortal cultivators, and countless soldiers and gods flooding the battlefield. In that moment, chaos broke loose!
The carnage became boundless, and the deafening roars of explosions reverberated throughout the cosmos.
As the sudden assault by the cultivators tore into the very core of the divine battlefield, like a blade piercing deep into the belly of the divine forces, it seemed the attack was poised to pierce through the heart of the battleground itself.
However, the goddess, who was being rapidly approached by Immortal Monarch Silent Dao, remained utterly unfazed.
She continued reciting the true name of the commander, Her expression unchanged.
In the very next moment, the battlefield underwent yet another shocking transformation!
All the divine temples, all the stellar statues, and the vast star river that had been quietly converging suddenly flared to life. Golden light erupted from all corners of the battlefield, radiating simultaneously from countless points and unleashing an incomprehensible, terrifying power!
The starry sky split apart, the void collapsed, and it was as though a veil that had shrouded this region was violently torn away.
At that moment, countless massive divine formations, overwhelming in their scale, revealed themselves on the battlefield!
There were no fewer than a million of these grand arrays, and they all activated at the same time, unleashing boundless power.
Each burst from these formations sent divine might skyrocketing and caused torrents of anomalous substances to sweep through the battlefield. The cultivators on one side were caught completely off-guard. Overwhelmed by this transformation, they found themselves intensely suppressed. Their spirits quaked, blood spewed from their mouths, and their souls felt as though they were being forcibly extracted. Their bodies groaned under the immense pressure of this oppressive power.
In contrast, the gods were instantly strengthened by this phenomenon. Their battle prowess surged dramatically, empowered by the divine arrays.
The disparity was stark and devastatingly clear.
At the heart of these million divine formations lay the still-slumbering fallen commander, whose gradual revival caused the formations' power to climb even higher with every passing moment.
This was, without a doubt, a trap!
The Immortal Lord Zhan Lu had calculated against the Lord God, but the Lord God, using His daughter as bait, had also been calculating against the Immortal Lord!
Both sides had been placing their moves, and now their pieces had collided head-on.
An even more intense battle erupted at this instant.
The expression of the goddess was still calm.
Immortal Monarch Silent Dao, who was rapidly approaching Her, was blocked outside the core under the eruption of the formations.
As for the surroundings of this goddess, three True Gods walked out from the blurry void. They coldly looked in all directions and guarded Her sides.
The goddess chuckled and didn't look at the battlefield at all. She closed her eyes and continued to recite the true name, her voice becoming more and more ethereal.
In this battle, as long as She successfully guided the right-wing commander back, the recovery process would strengthen the divine array. Hence, the damage to the cultivators would continue to be intense.
When the right-wing commander woke up, the god's side would definitely win this battle!
Hence, while reciting the true name of the right-wing commander, She didn't hesitate at all. She raised Her right hand and pointed at Her forehead. Immediately, Her body trembled intensely.
Her skin withered and Her life-force fluctuated. Her bloodline was burning.
She had chosen to spare no expense to speed up the return.
Even though She would fall from the realm of a True God for a short period because of this, it would still speed up the summoning.
Thus, within the coffin below, the commander's corpse emanated an even stronger intent of revival. The force surged, growing increasingly intense, and this reversal placed the cultivators' side in grave peril.
Immortal Monarch Silent Dao narrowed his eyes sharply, exuding extreme resolve. He attempted to break through the layers of obstructions and reach the center to prevent the revival.
However, the eruption of the formations, the impregnable defenses at the core, and the reinforcement of three True Gods made it impossible for him to break through in a short time.
Time was running out.
At that moment, the goddess, acting decisively, made a drastic move. Despite the toll it took on Her cultivation, She spat out a mouthful of divine blood, transforming it into an ancient seal that brimmed with unfathomable mysteries and carried the aura of the star ring itself.
It landed on the coffin below and on the chest of the commander's corpse.
The moment the seal touched it, the goddess's voice reverberated across the battlefield.
"Return!"
As soon as this voice rang out, the starry sky froze and a viscous intent instantly appeared silently in the battlefield, enveloping everyone in the surroundings as though it had transformed into a gust of wind.
This wind blew from all directions and gathered in the coffin, on the commander's corpse.
The corpse… suddenly trembled.
Its eyes slowly opened!
It slowly stood up!
Its tall body and terrifying aura caused the hearts of countless lives to rumble.
The revival was successful!
The million divine formations erupted and countless gods emitted divine sounds. The anomalous substances on the battlefield churned and their divine might surpassed the Dao.
The cultivators were all shocked.
As for the goddess beside the commander, She slightly raised Her chin at this moment. Her noble bloodline, prestigious status, and Her pivotal role in aiding his return made Her presence here the center of reverence. She stood ready to accept the bow of this revived commander.
Everything seemed as though it had reached an irrevocable conclusion.
But just then, as the cultivators' side seemed on the brink of catastrophe, the black miasma of anomalous substances, formed from the Lord God's presence, suddenly began to churn violently across the battlefield.
Vaguely, a supreme will erupted from within.
"He isn't It!"
The instant this will spread out, the revived god commander's body suddenly moved.
He instantly appeared in front of the goddess and raised his right hand before punching out!
With just a punch, a large area of the starry sky in front of him directly collapsed. A terrifying force that was infinitely close to the Lord level swept out like a violent wind, destroying everything.
The expression of the goddess changed drastically and Her pupils constricted. It was too late for Her to dodge.
The three True Gods couldn't react as well.
This scene was too sudden.
In an instant, the three True Gods' bodies collapsed and Their souls were destroyed. They directly exploded under that punch.
Even the goddess Herself blurred instantly, Her form dissipating, but an ancient lantern faintly appeared in her place. Moments later, the lantern was extinguished and scattered into nothingness.
"Divine Lantern Life Substitution?"
The entire battlefield fell into shock and disbelief.
Countless gazes gathered on the god commander who was standing in the air.
A deep, rumbling voice escaped him as he slowly lifted his head, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield. Amid the bewilderment and confusion gripping both the divine forces and the cultivators, the god commander suddenly… smiled.
Then, in a flash, his entire body erupted in blinding brilliance.
It wasn't the god's golden color.
Instead… it was silver!
This light spread through the starry sky.
At the same time, a hoarse voice echoed.
"This old man is Cultivator Spirit Stone."
As soon as these words were spoken, the battlefield rumbled!
The gods were shaken and the cultivators were excited.
The moment he spoke, he also raised his hand. The million-strong divine formations here instantly reversed. The morale of the cultivators was so strong that it directly towered into the sky.
If Xu Qing was here, he definitely wouldn't be unfamiliar with this name.
It was the inscription on a tombstone in the Nine Shores Heaven's Beyond Immortal Burial Ground!
"Life is but a dream, time a song, the stars and seas—eventually, all must part."
"I am Immortal Monarch Spirit Stone. I killed a True God and drank Its blood. My imprint remains. In the future… When It returns, will it be It or me?"
"If it is It, my remains will scatter into golden light; future generations can erase it to sever the god's lingering will. If it is me, silver light will blaze forth, and I shall slay the gods once more!"
…
On the battlefield, Immortal Monarch Silent Dao's expression was calm, as though he wasn't surprised by this. He nodded at Spirit Stone and calmly spoke.
"How's this body?"
Spirit Stone grinned.
"Although it's not the god I killed back then, to be able to return with this god commander body… Immortal Lord Zhan Lu, you didn't lie to me!"
