Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 1005 - 820 Heavenly Empress Puji

Chapter 1005: Chapter 820 Heavenly Empress Puji

The man in golden armor, Lei Yi, soared through the clouds, covering tens of thousands of miles to arrive above the South Sea.

With his divine sight, he quickly located the ’Great Emperor Kunpeng of the Swallowing Seas.’

At that moment, the vast army under Kunpeng was following the rivers, riding the great waters, and sweeping across the riverbanks of Song.

They were tearing humans apart, devouring all life forms, turning everything along the riverbanks into nothingness.

Seeing this, the man in golden armor felt slightly uncomfortable, but he soon composed himself and landed beside the Great Emperor Kunpeng of the Swallowing Seas.

"Before you asked for my help, you never mentioned you would engage in such barbaric acts as beasts devouring humans and cruelly consuming the spirits of the people."

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor Kunpeng of the Swallowing Seas merely laughed heartily without a care, "My army is composed of deep-sea monsters. If they don’t eat humans, should they eat grass instead? Besides, this isn’t the land of the Central Plains. This island is full of barbarians with no bloodlines from the Central Plains. Gouchen, your sympathy is misdirected! Rest assured! Once we enter the Central Plains, I will control them and not let them run amok. All I need is for The Court and the East Sea Dragon Clan to agree to marry Ao Shuying to me, allowing me to become the ruler of all lakes and seas here, and I can guarantee that my forces will no longer harm any creatures. The peace of the surrounding seas will be my sole responsibility."

The man in golden armor furrowed his brows and then shook his head, "Before coming here, I sensed someone in the mortal realm breaking through to the Extreme Heavenly Level, indicating that this realm can now support cultivation of the Extreme Heavenly Level."

Although he and the Great Emperor Kunpeng of the Swallowing Seas were incarnated as True Spirits, their current state was only at the peak of the Holy Heaven with the legal standards of a Great Heavenly Level flesh body.

"Extreme Heaven? What’s the point?"

The Great Emperor Kunpeng of the Swallowing Seas sneered coldly, "How many resources would one need to break through to the Extreme Heaven in this realm? Currently, with my three incarnations, I can’t even feed myself enough, let alone restore my Extreme Heavenly body."

He looked at his deep-sea army and involuntarily licked his lips with his tongue.

The Great Emperor Kunpeng of the Swallowing Seas really wanted to swallow these sea behemoths whole to replenish his vitality.

But he could not do so, as he was not using his original body. Commanding these eight million deep-sea troops was already somewhat of a strain.

If he acted recklessly and devoured his kin, it would cause those intelligent deep-sea giant demons to scatter in fear.

The Great Emperor Kunpeng of the Swallowing Seas could only summon a large amount of spirit stones and inhale them in one breath, instantly absorbing countless spiritual energy into his body.

But this was not the same as consuming blood; these stones were utterly devoid of spiritual nature. They could help him recover his vitality, yet the effect was so minimal it frustrated him.

"But what about you? Didn’t you say you were going to recruit the Demons of Taihang Mountain and threaten Jin Dynasty’s Capital City, coordinating with me from afar? Why have you returned here?"

Gouchen’s expression froze, and then he emotionlessly looked into the distance, "The demons of Taihang Mountain have mostly been intimidated and tamed by the human race. The remaining factions are insignificant. I overestimated them."

"That bad?"

The Great Emperor Kunpeng of the Swallowing Seas, also a member of the demons, couldn’t help but be taken aback.

In the past, the Demons of Taihang Mountain were a main force under the command of the Emperor Dijun of the second-generation Heavenly Court.

He then casually waved his hand, "I’ve received news that the East Sea Dragon Clan and the Fusou’s army of five million have already moved south to Penglai. Soon, I will lead all my troops north, and we will fight them to the south of Penglai Island."

Gouchen nodded slightly, "It’s better to have the battle sooner."

He knew that the Great Emperor Kunpeng of the Swallowing Seas had already exhausted the resources in the south. At most, the current provisions could only last his troops a month and a half.

"Penglai Island is also a decent place," Gouchen mused thoughtfully. "If it were in the Central Plains, I would be slightly worried. This person is now a sage of Confucianism, capable of uniting the scholars of the Central Plains and the power of the emperors of past dynasties. In the lands of Middle Earth, his combat power is probably equivalent to that of Holy Heaven, or even higher."

Although Penglai Island is very close to Middle Earth, the island still does not have many inhabitants. It ultimately cannot match the territory of the Middle Earth, where Confucianism has amassed power over thousands of years to unleash its full pinnacle potential.

Gouchen believed that only here would they have more than an eighty percent chance of victory.

Li Xuan was unable to set out as planned and delayed his departure for two days before finally leaving the Heavenly Court of Xuanhuang with his Kunpeng warship, ’The Xuanhuang Emperor’, and thirty-six Taixu battleships, heading straight for Penglai Island.

This was because Leng Yurou had made some modifications to these Taixu battleships, adapting them to the underwater environment, allowing them to dive into the deep sea at a depth of twelve hundred fathoms.

This was not difficult to accomplish; these ships were originally built for traversing the Taixu and were inherently constructed with airtight chambers. They simply needed an external layer of steel armor and some additional supports inside to enhance the ship’s pressure resistance.

At this time, these battleships also carried Li Xuan’s legion of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers.

More than ten days prior, Li Xuan had visited MoNan Maoer Village and Tumu Fort, summoning the valorous spirits of the two hundred and thirty thousand soldiers who had fallen at Maoer Village, Tumu Fort, and other locations, recruiting them into his ranks of heavenly soldiers.

In fact, nearly a million soldiers from Jin Dynasty had perished in this great war.

However, only these spirits still had their True Spirits intact, and Li Xuan had only retained those of second rank and above, directly annihilating the rest with divine power.

At this time, Li Xuan was that magnanimous. After the sixth Solar Furnace was completed, unifying County Prince Fenyang, Immortal Master Shuide, and the faith of the Xuanhuang Emperor, the divine power he could now wield had increased seventeenfold compared to during the Fusou battle.

After recruiting these two hundred and thirty thousand valorous spirits, the number of Heavenly Army troops within the Heavenly Court of Xuanhuang had increased to three hundred and fifty thousand.
