Chapter 734: Chapter 727 Revival

In the central area of the Enemy-breaking Camp, among the encampment,

True Immortals who died would disperse their Immortal Bodies completely, vanishing from the world. However, upon advancing further and becoming Earth Immortals, their bodies would remain for a long time before they slowly started to fade away.

Scores of elites from the Demon Palace, led by Man Li, had stormed into the Enemy-breaking Camp nearly for the duration of a stick of incense.

In such fierce battle conditions, countless individuals had already fallen on this battlefield.

This entire region was drenched in blood, scattered limbs and severed arms strewn everywhere; the corpses lying on the ground were a sight that could not be ignored.

Unknown to them, the earth, which had been stained a pale shade of blood, began to slowly lose its color, especially near the Merit Hall, where it had already returned to dark and barren soil.

The hundreds and thousands of Demon Palace elites who had invaded the Heavenly Mansion side were already largely dead, with only one or two hundred still resisting tenaciously.

Compared to the Demon Palace, even more had perished on the side of the Heavenly Mansion’s Enemy-breaking Camp.

After all, the people of the Demon Palace were all elites, with strengths above those of Heavenly Immortals, whereas the forces from the Heavenly Mansion were somewhat mixed, with many among them being Earth Immortal cultivators.

Though the death toll was much higher on the Heavenly Mansion’s side, strictly speaking in terms of battle achievements, they had achieved a resounding success and won a significant victory.

High above in the skies, Man Li was still entangled in combat with several from Wan Zhongshan.

After changing their strategy, these few were fighting three against one. Though unable to secure a victory, merely stalling Man Li to buy time was definitely not a problem.

“Man Li, how’s the situation below? You see it too!” Wan Zhongshan taunted with a loud laugh.

“Unless something unexpected happens, it won’t be long before those Demon Palace elites you brought will be dead to the last one.”

“By that time, the strength left in your Conquest Hall, even if not completely depleted, will hardly be of any significant force.”

“Is this the outcome you wanted? Doesn’t it pain your heart to see this?”

Looking down at the settled situation below, Wan Zhongshan was in high spirits and laughed loudly at Man Li.

“Is that so?” Man Li said with an indifferent smile, neither confirming nor denying.

Then he continued, “What if I told you that when I brought those people here, I never expected them back alive, would you believe me?”

“Even if they genuinely die off completely, what of it? Do you truly think that means you have won?”

With a somewhat eerie look on his face, Man Li smiled meaningfully.

Of course, while he spoke, he definitely wasn’t idle. The giant blue bull he had transformed into continued charging relentlessly.

However, Wan Zhongshan and his companions were just circling around him, touching briefly before quickly moving away, never confronting his attacks directly.

“Blood Sacrifice…” Man Li’s words clearly took the others by surprise.

Unintentionally, when they noticed that the patches of blood on the ground below were rapidly disappearing as if devoured by some unknown entity, their expressions drastically changed.

“Vice Commander Zhang, you and I hold Man Li off.”

“Vice Commander Lin, you need to rush back to the camp and investigate what exactly is happening with the disappearing blood on the ground.”

In an instant, Wan Zhongshan had made a decision; while still entangling with Man Li and having never clashed directly, he suddenly conjured a gust of black wind and charged at Man Li.

The other two, also being Daluo Golden Immortals, reacted swiftly.

The one named Vice Commander Zhang burst into dazzling radiance, from which countless figures roared furiously, faintly visible within the light.

It seemed as though he was responding to Wan Zhongshan, with a swift spin of his body, Chen Hai appeared behind Man Li, charging to assassinate him.

Meanwhile, Vice Commander Lin, without a word, plummeted towards the ground like a meteor falling from the Nine Heavens.

“Now you realize I am performing the Blood Sacrifice, don’t you think it’s a bit too late?”

“Thinking of shaking me off and rushing back to check your camp, did you ask for my opinion?”

Man Li burst into laughter, the gigantic azure ox he had transformed into shattered the black winds raised by Wan Zhongshan and charged towards Vice Commander Lin, who was plummeting to the ground, as if it were flying.

However, just at this moment, a burst of golden radiance exploded within the camp below.

Within that golden light, two golden dragon phantasms broke through the earth near the Merit Hall and soared into the sky.

At first, the two golden dragons merely swam through the golden light, but within moments, they intertwined and tangled together, appearing at first glance like a pair of shimmering golden scissors.

“Such an anomaly… Has the artifact absorbed the fresh blood and Remnant Souls of the fallen on the battlefield below and finally begun to revive?”

“Subordinate Man Li, welcomes the arrival of Lady Yu Ji!”

Man Li, who had been charging towards Vice Commander Lin, paused for a moment, then his heart filled with joy.

Transforming back into human form, he looked fervently towards the sky and respectfully bowed.

Before his words even fully fell, a crack suddenly split the sky above, and a slender arm, as supple as boneless yet resembling white jade, extended from it.

This arm, seemingly capable of transcending space and time, had barely appeared, but in the next moment, it was already above the Merit Treasure Vault.

With just a light grasp, a swath of land several miles in radius lifted into the air and flew towards her palm.

“Lady Yu Ji, I knew that when it came to that artifact, you would definitely take action yourself.”

“Did you really think we wouldn’t recognize that thing had fallen dormant, and the Heavenly Mansion would have no clue?”

“Such a precious artifact, did you really think that if it’s stored in the mine’s treasure vault, we would ignore it?”

“Let me tell you the truth, our purpose in doing so was to lure you into action!”

Another burst of laughter rang out as a majestic purple figure appeared out of nowhere. He stood with his hands behind his back and lightly stepped on the piece of earth that had flown up.

The land, from extreme movement to extreme stillness, abruptly halted and hovered in the void before falling back to its original place.

It was as if it had never moved from its position, and even the several halls that had collapsed were restored to their previous state, exactly as before.

Almost simultaneously, on the edge of the Enemy-breaking Camp, deep within an abandoned mine shaft.

Chen Hai, who was sitting cross-legged and assimilating the pure energy that had surged into his body after devouring Zong Sheng, cursed as he suddenly opened his eyes.

“What’s going on? I’ve only just realized the Shikigami ‘Eye of Greed’ not long ago, how could it disobey and suddenly go berserk?”

“This Divine Skill can’t really be used against foes, should it be less powerful than ‘Devouring Touch,’ not considered a strong Divine Skill, right?”

“Did this darn thing go out of control because I hadn’t fully mastered it? Or, does the ‘Eye of Greed’ inherently have some hidden defects?”

A bizarrely large eye continuously emerged between Chen Hai’s eyebrows.

Originally appearing only as a mark, the ‘Eye of Greed’ inexplicably opened up at that moment.

Chen Hai desperately tried to retract it back into his body, but the thing, as if gone mad,.

cursed under his breath, and at that moment of slight distraction, the ‘Eye of Greed’ broke free from his restraint, bursting out from between his brows into the void, and vanished without a trace.
