The Heavenly Humans who were at the forefront of the charge felt a scorching heat lick at their backs.
After turning around, they realized that the space behind them had already transformed into a fiery hell.
This fiery hell separated the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army into two segments. In the beginning, they could still charge forward without concern, as there were still fellow soldiers guarding their backs. As such, they didn’t need to panic when they fought. Now, however, the space behind them had become a fiery hell. At the same time, they had gone from enjoying an advantage in numbers to becoming a small number of trapped beasts. Their situation had taken a drastic turn for the worse.
Sure enough, the Heaven Crushing United Army started to charge forward in a frenzy. They wanted to seize this rare opportunity to annihilate the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army’s vanguard!
The Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals started to use their heavenly powers to suppress the flames on the earth and carve a path out for their army. However, this very action coincidentally reduced their ability to engage with other enemies. Anyhow, the Heaven Crushing United Army would gain an advantage no matter what.
The destructive power of the Second Heaven Vanquishing Earth Destroying Tune—the Earth Destroying Sea of Fire—was slightly inferior to the Immortal Slaying Celestial Sword Formation. Only a mere seven million enemies were killed. However, this number only appeared small in comparison. In reality, it was definitely a devastating loss for the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army.
“Hurry up! Come with me to slay Demon Lord Lun Yu!”
“We also need to deal with the Glazed Light Buddha and Archangel Gabriel!”
The Dao Integration Stage super mighty beings and Heaven Pioneer Stage powerful beings of the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army started to surge toward the nine Dao Integration Stage cultivators standing within the Heaven Vanquishing Formation. These were the nine beings who maintained the spell formation, and killing them would significantly impact the output and threat of the Heaven Vanquishing Formation.
The power that had been displayed by the Heaven Vanquishing Formation was far too devastating. As a result, the Heavenly Human Tribe was willing to pay a heavy price to destroy this spell formation. Once this spell formation was destroyed, the Heaven Crushing United Army would definitely fall to the waves of soldiers from the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army.
“Roar! Kill them!” Shenron Byakuyasha—a Dao Integration Stage divine dragon—flapped its wings and transformed into a razor-sharp crescent as it swept toward the Glazed Light Buddha. Wherever the divine dragon flew past, the bodies of the Heaven Crushing United Army’s soldiers would be sliced into two by bursts of deadly wind blades.
“Kill the Glazed Light Buddha.” Another five Heavenly Human Great Generals lunged toward the figure that was radiating with a tremendous Buddhist halo.
Right at this moment, however, several formidable immortal spells suddenly crashed down toward them.
“Heaven Crushing Wing Slash!”
“Heaven Crushing Ferocious Tiger Roar!”
“Heaven Destroying Nightmare!”
More than ninety Return to Void Stage immortals, as well as two Dao Integration Stage super mighty beings, formed a Hundred Immortal Spell Formation and continuously launched spell techniques to harass the Dao Integration Stage divine dragon and Heavenly Human Tribe Great Generals.
They were none other than the powerful beings of the Divine Essence Pavilion.
After being enhanced by the Hundred Immortal Spell Formation, the Heaven Crushing Techniques that they launched could reach the level of the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage. Unless they were challenged by a Heavenly God, they wouldn’t be afraid of any other enemies on the battlefield.
The spell techniques of the immortals became far more powerful after passing through the spell formation, and Shenron Byakuyasha was engulfed by dozens of vicious spell techniques after failing to dodge in time. It roared in agony as it plummeted to the ground.
The Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals were forced into a retreat, not daring to face the might of the immortals head-on. In fact, one of the Great Generals was even killed by a joint attack launched by Yan Ji and He Shen.
At this moment, the Divine Essence Pavilion finally displayed its true ability. This was a formidable group of one hundred immortals that was without rival under the rank of Heavenly God. Regardless of whether they targeted a single enemy or a group of enemies, no one was able to match their battle prowess.
Right now, this group of one hundred immortals had voluntarily headed over to protect the nine Dao Integration Stage cultivators who were in charge of controlling the Heaven Vanquishing Formation.
Meanwhile, the remaining Dao Integration Stage super mighty beings who weren’t in charge of maintaining the Heaven Vanquishing Formation also fought with vigor to defend the nine Dao Integration Stage super mighty beings. With this being the case, the powerful beings from the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army were completely unable to pose a threat to the nine individuals within the Heaven Vanquishing Formation. As such, the two opposing sides reached a momentary deadlock.
The dozens of Heaven Pioneer Stage Great General exchanged a glance.
A Great General who possessed an extraordinary aura walked toward the sky and spread his arms open with an expression of piety. A holy light suddenly beamed down from the sky and illuminated his body.
“Esteemed and eternal Heaven, I’m Chen Er. Please allow me to use the Ultimate Punishment of Heaven so that I can cleanse the world of Heaven’s enemies…” Chen Er’s voice was reverberant and humble, yet firmly devout.
A thin beam of golden light descended from the sky and fused into Great General Chen Er’s glabella.
Great General Chen Er’s aura started to climb explosively as a golden heavenly-patterned formation slowly materialized on his forehead.
At the same time, the remaining Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals all seemed to detect something. They started to silently recite in a unique language as bursts of energy radiated from their bodies and surged into the sky.
Chen Er wore an expression of indifference and absolute confidence as he peered down at the several hundred million strong Heaven Crushing United Army before him. “Don’t think for a second that only you possess trump cards. Our Heavenly Human Tribe United Army also has trump cards…”
He pointed a finger toward the sky. At the same time, the remaining Heaven Pioneer Stage Great Generals also pointed their fingers toward the sky.
A white, cloud-like energy was already swarming in the sky at this instant. It appeared holy and pure, yet it caused all of the powerful beings in the Heaven Crushing United Army to feel a sense of extreme danger.
“My trump card is called… Ultimate Punishment of Heaven!
“Eternal and majestic Heaven, cleanse all of the enemies before us!”
Boom!
The sky was roaring.
The wrath of Heaven finally erupted at this instant.
Its magnificence was tremendously vast, and it contained an absolute might.
The swarm of white clouds became denser and denser, and it appeared as if the entire sky were about to crash down into the earth.
As if detecting something, the Glazed Light Buddha’s expression changed drastically. A Buddhist mantra instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, though no one was able to understand what he was reciting. However, everyone understood the message that he was trying to relay—”Don’t run, and defend as if your life depends on it!”
Right at this moment, a beam of white light had already descended from the sky.
It was like a beam of sunshine, and it instantly illuminated every being on the battlefield.
A Spirit Nurturing Stage True Demon was enveloped by the white light before he could even activate a defensive spell technique. Then, his body shuddered, and his gaze started to become hazy and unfocused.
“This light is so warm… Is this what I’ve been pursuing my entire life?”
He raised an arm and tried to touch the white glow in the sky.
“So that’s how it is. It was I who had been wrong this entire time… I beg you, please forgive me…” Tears of remorse streamed down the True Demon’s face as he suddenly fell on his knees and pleaded toward the sky.
Then, his body transformed into specks of light that gradually vanished from the world.
As though he had achieved redemption, a content smile spread across the True Demon male’s face. Then, without a shred of resistance, he disappeared from the face of the world.
This scene replicated itself on countless members of the Heaven Crushing United Army.
Regardless of whether they were True Demons, members of the Holy Martial Clan, or firmly devout monks of the Buddhist Kingdom, no one was able to resist the power of this white light. Some wore expressions of confusion and yearning, while others were reduced to tears and remorse. Eventually, all of them transformed into specks of light before vanishing from the world.
The Ultimate Punishment of Heaven enveloped an area that measured thousands of kilometers in radius. White light flooded throughout this entire vicinity, and even the tiniest of particles was illuminated by its dazzling radiance. This was a genuine large-scale attack, and tens of millions of Heaven Crushing United Army soldiers were instantly killed by its devastating might.
Only powerful beings who had activated defensive spell techniques were able to drastically reduce the probability of being affected.
However, they still weren’t absolutely safe, and there were already some Soul Formation Stage powerful beings who had disappeared into specks of light.
This spell technique emitted no energy fluctuation at all, and it looked as if it posed absolutely no danger. Instead, it appeared incredibly holy and pure, much like a holy light that could cleanse one’s heart of all negativity. However, it was for this exact reason that the Heaven Crushing United Army was at a loss as to how to defend against this large-scale attack. All they could do was silently wait out its effects…
However, the white light in the sky showed absolutely no signs of dimming. Instead, it was becoming even brighter with the passing of time. The casualties faced by the Heaven Crushing United Army were still piling up at a rapid rate!
The tens of millions of Heaven Crushing United Army soldiers were all stunned beyond words. If this Ultimate Punishment of Heaven continued to sweep through their ranks, then their army would be annihilated no matter how many soldiers they had!
