THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD GOD
V3 #CH 385 HIGHER THAN GOD
“Absolutely. Indeed I am the one who ordered my demon troops to attack those three Continents because those three Continents have so many warriors or cultivators who are strong enough,” Ignis replied.
All Ignis said was true because the Western Continent focused more on alchemy, while the Southern Continent focused more on forging. So only the Middle, North and East Continents only focus on training their inhabitants in terms of cultivation.
Ignis then placed his right hand on the surface of the giant ice sword formed from Long Bao's ice-skirt.
“Whosh ..”
The purple and black colored flames instantly blazed with great magnitude and carried an extremely terrifying heat. In an instant, my giant ice sword Long Bao had turned into steam.
“You're lucky that King Dark Etheroz hasn't given me orders to kill you. He only gave me orders to help Demon General Zed Bailian so that the plan to revive the perfect level Rain Tower Formation could still run smoothly. But he did not forbid me to give a gift of remembrance to all of you,” Ignis grinned.
Emperor Long Jin instantly looked at Long Bao and gave the order as he could feel an extremely powerful darkness and fire energy suddenly emanating from Ignis body.
“Long Bao, quickly use your strongest shield to protect all our troops.”
Long Bao instantly drained all of the remaining ice energy within his body towards his two hands as in fact his ice energy had yet to recover a hundred percent after he fought against Long Sha.
“Ice Pangolin Protective Form.”
An enormous protective formation immediately appeared in front of Long Bao, this formation radiating ice energy so powerful that it made this ice protective formation into an extremely thick ice wall. Its thickness is almost five meters.
A person of the Ice Pangolin Beast spirit suddenly appeared in front of that ice wall and directly entered into the ice wall. The surface of this ice wall, instantly turned into an extremely hard like the skin of an Ice Pangolin Beast that could break a sword the moment it struck its body.
Ignis narrowed his eyes when he saw the protective formation Long Bao had made because this formation was able to protect all the Royal soldiers who numbered in the thousands.
“It turns out you were able to use a protective formation on a large scale. But you're using the wrong technique because the ice pangolin is the most tender prey for a Fire Cobra.”
Ignis directed his left hand which was already surrounded with an extremely frightening aura of fire energy towards Long Bao's ice shield.
“Set Cobra Fire Destruction Iceberg.”
A purple-colored flame clad in black colored flames shot straight out from Ignis' left hand like a spray of Can Cobra snake.
This flame continued to burn the surface of Long Bao's protective shield like a snake could gnaw its prey.
“Father, the fire power belonging to the Patriarch of the Demon Clan is very strong. If this continues the protective formation I made, it will be destroyed soon. Inevitably, I must minimize the shape of this protective formation in order for this protective formation to become even thicker,” Long Bao looked at Emperor Long Jin who was beside him.
“How big is the size of this protective formation after you shrink the shape?” emperor Long Jin replied.
“About six rows of troops will only be along because I have to thicken this layer of protective formation by four times,” replied Long Bao frowned because he could no longer bear to withstand the fire energy pressure from Ignis who continued to attack his protective formation.
Emperor Long Jin directly gave orders to his men. “You all immediately form the formation of the arrow of the god of the wind.”
All of the Royal soldiers who were behind Emperor Long Jin, instantly formed a formation of four rows of extremely long troops like four gigantic arrows as each row filled over five hundred warriors.
“Now you can strengthen your protective formation,”, Emperor Long Jin for Long Bao.
Long Bao immediately brought his hands closer together. The Ice Energy that formed this ice protective formation also followed Long Bao's hand movements. Slowly, the shape of the Ice Pangolin formation became increasingly smaller. But this formation becomes more guessing up to about twenty meters.
The purple-black flames that emerged from Ignis's flaming style, it had not made Long Bao overheat again because the heat from the fire was unable to break through the ice formation that had been strengthened by four times.
“You'd better just surrender to attack our troops and get out of here. Since you definitely won't be able to break through this ice protective formation of mine,” exclaimed Long Bao.
“There's one thing you've forgotten. You have indeed strengthened your ice protective formation by thickening that protective formation. But you also forgot something very important, that the shape of your ice protective formation also shrank,” Ignis cold reply.
“I have not forgotten that which is why I asked the soldiers of the Kingdom to make four very long army ranks. In order for all of them to enter into this formation of my protector,” Long Bao replied.
“Then what about the top of that protective formation. You must have forgotten that part, when that part was one of the important parts of your protective formation. The weak human. Hehe ...,” taunts Ignis laughs cynically.
Ignis then raised the tip of his left index finger. The burst of flames suddenly turned into the shadow of a Fire Cobra snake that was standing up and ready to spout its venom.
“Fire Bursts Fury Cobra.”
“Whosh ..”
An extremely powerful flame instantly gushed out from the mouth of that shadow Cobra Flame and killed all the Royal Warriors that were in the very back row.
Almost half of the total number of Royal soldiers brought by Emperor Long Jin, were, dying from being hit by this very powerful burst of fire because the height of the protective formation made by Long Bao was only able to protect soldiers who were within a distance of 50 meters.
“Haha .. I have managed to destroy half the troops you have with just one attack. Now you guys are no longer a threat to Long Yun. We will meet again at Blue Jade Palace.”
Ignis immediately raised the body of General Zed Bailian who was seriously injured by using the power of his space law. He created a special vacuum filled with the aura of darkness and demonic energy that was able to make the recovery process on the body of the Demon nation faster.
Long Bao instantly disappeared his ice protective formation after he saw the two demons leave this place.
“The devil has managed to kill half of the soldiers I brought. Now how are we supposed to deal with the troops that General Long Yun possesses,” said Emperor Long Jin was anxious because the number of troops he currently has will not be able to match the troops possessed by General Long Yun, although the experience he had on the battlefield was more than General Long Yun's experience.
“Dad don't worry even though our troops stay a little and the cultivation level they have is not too high. But all these soldiers are trained soldiers and have quite high courage because they all did not run away from this place when they met the Demon General earlier,” Long Bao replied.
Divine Beast Seiryu suddenly descended from the sky and stood beside Emperor Long Jin. He then rebuked Emperor Long Jin. “What your son-in-law said is true. Strength is not the determinant of a victory, but the courage and determination possessed by a person is the most important determinant. Didn't you also speak like that when you fought the Demon General earlier.”
“I almost forgot about it. But still my mind cannot calm down because General Long Yun actually got help from the Devil nation,” Emperor Long Jin said remembering Ignis' words before he left this place.
“If Long Yun is helped by the devil, then you are helped by God through your grandson named Long Bai. Have you forgotten that he is a disciple of the Divine Beasts. He was also able to defeat a Demon General when the demon armies attacked the Northern Continent,” Divine Beast retorted Seiryu.
This remark from Divine Beast Seiryu instantly made Emperor Long Jin's mind calm as he had also seen for himself what kind of strength his grandson possessed as they all gathered in the Eternal Lightning Valley.
“Try you stretch out your hands while holding the Mighty Dragon Gauge,” exclaimed Divine Beast Seiryu staring at Emperor Long Jin.
Emperor Long Jin immediately stretched out his two hands while holding the Mighty Dragon Gauge with his two hands like someone who was receiving an Emperor's edict.
Divine Beast Seiryu then placed his right hand on top of the Mighty Dragon Gutter. And a small ball of lightning energy, yet it had an immense force pressure, emerged from the palm of the Divine Beast Seiryu.
This ball of lightning energy directly entered into the Mighty Dragon Gauge and recovered the lightning energy that was within the weapon's spirit body. The lightning energy in Emperor Long Jin's body, also slowly began to recover when his Mighty Dragon Gauge had already been successfully restored.
“Thank you Divine Beast Seiryu,” said Emperor Long Jin cupped his hands forward.
Divine Beast Seiryu realized that Long Bao rhyme earlier was staring with a slightly bewildered look when he saw he was recovering the lightning energy that was within the Mighty Dragon Gulok and also Emperor Long Jin.
“You must be wondering why I didn't help Long Jin while he was fighting,” Divine Beast said Seiryu glanced at Long Bao.
Long Bao simply nodded his head while smiling in embarrassment as Divine Beast Seiryu turned out to know what he was thinking at the moment.
“We Divine Beasts who guard the Planet where humans survive, are actually strictly forbidden to interfere in human affairs directly. Therefore we can only teach martial arts, provide heirloom weapons and some knowledge to face the Devil nation,” replied Divine Beast Seiryu.
“Then what will happen to you if that rule is violated?” asked Long Bao curiously.
“The beings who come from the higher realms of the God Realm will come and punish us directly because the Supreme Gods cannot punish us because we have almost the same status as Gods Highest,” replied Divine Beast Seiryu leaving behind a mystery that made Emperor Long Jin and Long Bao become very curious.
“Creatures that come from higher realms of the God Realm?! Is there such a creature in this universe?” sahut Emperor Long Jin who was already very curious when he heard the conversation between Long Bao and Divine Beast Seiryu.
“There. And those creatures are immortal beings. They are not like Gods who can die for certain reasons and then reincarnate. The creatures will only die if the Creator himself kills them. Even the Ancestor of the Underworld Demon King came from that realm, yet he was expelled for having made such a huge mistake.” Divine Beast replied Seiryu.
“It turns out that Gods are not immortal beings,” said Long Bao nodding his head as if understanding something.
“True. We are not immortal beings, but we are beings who have a very long life beyond the life of humans and we will not die of age because we can understand about the laws of time. We will only die if the body of our god has been completely destroyed, but we can reincarnate and return to God,” Divine Beast Seiryu closed his explanation.
“What is nature's name?” emperor Long Jin asked out of curiosity.
Divine Beast Seiryu had originally refused to answer this question because this was the thing that humans themselves should have understood after he had gained enlightenment. However, the persistence of Emperor Long Jin and Long Bao when asked turned out to make the establishment of the Divine Beast Seiryu become weak.
“The place is called Heaven. There is the dwelling place of the Creator and his immortal warriors called Angels. Everything that is there is eternal. But not all creatures can enter there,” replied Divine Beast Seiryu.
“How do we enter that realm?” long Bao asked.
“Of course by getting closer to the Creator. You can pray and avoid all evil deeds in order to get enlightenment to get into heaven. Just as you have to cleanse your heart and mind to gain enlightenment to become a God. The difference is that your mind and heart must be completely clean from all kinds of sins, then you can get enlightenment to enter heaven,” explained Divine Beast Seiryu.
Emperor Long Jin and Long Bao seemed to have gained enlightenment. They both finally knew the purpose of their lives.
“Now we return to the problems that exist in the Eastern Continent. Are you really going to the Blue Jade Palace? You must remember that he is an emperor. If your kingdom is empty, then the Demon nation can easily attack the Blue Dragon Kingdom and seize it,” asked Divine Beast Seiryu staring intently into Emperor Long Jin's eyes.
“I have no recourse because the only General I have, has now betrayed me and is planning a rebellion,” Emperor Long Jin replied.
“You can appoint a new General or a temporary replacement General to replace Long Yun,” said Divine Beast Seiryu who immediately opened the mind of Emperor Long Jin.
