Chapter 599: Chapter 487: Summoning the Heroic Spirits of One Hundred Thousand Celestial Soldiers_2

"Everyone, we underestimated them!"

Zhao Gongming said solemnly to everyone, "If this continues, I’m afraid we too will die here!"

Think about it, just now so many Daluo Golden Immortals beside them self-destructed, and now it’s the turn of those at the Pinnacle of Great Luo. If it goes on like just now, it’s unknown how many of the ten of them could survive.

It’s even more likely that all of them will die here.

"We must hold on! Otherwise, if we really let them self-destruct at will, we can only defend passively!"

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother also spoke from the side, but the actions of the Demon Clan were a bit faster than theirs. Barely had the words of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother concluded when another Pinnacle of Great Luo rushed over.

The other Pinnacles of Great Luo covered for this one, allowing him to successfully reach the Quasi-Saints of the Three Realms and self-destruct beside them.

In the eyes of the Quasi-Saints, such a worthless act, yet these people were doing it one after another.

"Buddhist Nation in the Palm!"

Xuanzang took a step forward, gathering all the violent energy, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, revealing a kingdom within his palm.

The rampant and unbearable fragments of space were directly thrown by Xuanzang into the Buddhist Nation in the Palm.

Since the Quasi-Saints of Southern Continent Jambudvipa implicitly regarded Xuanzang as the leader, it naturally wasn’t because of his identity, but because he genuinely possessed such strength.

Although Xuanzang had not been a Quasi-Saint for long, his understanding of Buddhist Law was extraordinarily unique, so much so that today he could alone use the Buddhist Nation in the Palm to block the attacks of nearly two hundred Pinnacles of Great Luo, including one of their self-destructions.

"Everyone, give it your all!"

To give it your all, now indeed was the time to give it all.

Just as the aftermath of the explosion had dissipated, the Quasi-Saints released their most powerful attacks.

Just then, the opposing Pinnacles of Great Luo were reduced by several tens of people.

Now, the Pinnacles of Great Luo who still wanted to continue their charge were no more than a hundred, but even these hundred were a great threat to Xuanzang and the others.

"Go!"

Xuanyuan formed seals with his hands, and the Xuanyuan Sword in front of him flew out directly, making a circle in the midst of the Demon Clan’s Pinnacles of Great Luo and took the heads of seven people before flying back.

Master Xuandu also blasted out a palm strike, pushing everyone back twenty yards.

For them, this war had reached a point where it was no longer about one side suppressing the other.

Now, it might seem like ten Quasi-Saints against about a hundred and ten Pinnacles of Great Luo, a situation where the Quasi-Saints should absolutely win.

But under the consumption by the Demon Clan, despite the Quasi-Saints absorbing spiritual energy quickly, they still felt utterly exhausted.

Even a slight inattention could add new wounds to their bodies, and a moment of carelessness could mean eternal rest here.

The Buddhist Nation in the Palm of Xuanzang was indeed formidable, but everyone understood that Xuanzang alone simply couldn’t hold on for long.

Guanyin stood behind Xuanzang, ready to act if Xuanzang couldn’t hold on any longer—the Mutton Fat Jade Bottle in her hand would fly out, invert and once again block those Pinnacles of Great Luo.

Although they were currently blocking those Pinnacles of Great Luo, once they found an opportunity, they would still self-destruct like moths to a flame.

Such a tactic indeed caused them significant trouble.

Meanwhile, compared to the indecisive struggle above, the last bit of energy fiercely contested,

the battle below was even more brutal.

A total of four hundred and fifty thousand celestial Soldiers had come to Southern Continent Jambudvipa, and now most of them were damaged, while the million strong army of the Demon Clan, in this enormous meat grinder, still densely packed, was endless.

Wen Zhong, leading various Daluo Golden Immortals, slaughtered amongst the Demon Clan. Although a thousand Daluo Golden Immortals were dispatched by the Demon Clan, their remaining forces still inflicted heavy casualties on the army of the Three Realms.

"We, the Immortals of the celestial Court, do not fear a death battle!"

The last fifty thousand reserves pressed forward when the Demon Clan reinforced again, and Li Jing’s Golden Pagoda swelled against the wind, rapidly growing to a thousand yards in size.

It smashed into the dense masses of the Demon Clan and in an instant, thousands of demons perished.

But compared to the hundreds of thousands in their massive base, a few thousand demons were truly negligible.

Moreover, Li Jing did not have another opportunity to strike; just one move had already attracted the attention of powerful beings from the Demon Clan, triggering intense fighting that, in turn, influenced the surrounding battles.

From any perspective, it looked like Southern Continent Jambudvipa was indefensible.

After all, the Demon Clan’s army still numbered six to seven hundred thousand at the least, and crucially, aside from the already stationed million demons south of Southern Continent Jambudvipa, twenty thousand more had gradually joined the battlefield.

And judging from the aura emitted by the subsequent two hundred thousand demons, it was significantly stronger than that of the million cannon fodder.

Compared to the demon forces, the remaining mere twenty thousand celestial Soldiers were hardly anything.

"Kill!"

Li Jing glanced at the corpses surrounding him, from both the Demon Clan and the celestial Soldiers.

A long spear broken in battle, sticking diagonally from the earth not far in front of Li Jing.

The demon blood still flowing on the ground eradicated the last bit of divinity from the top of the spear.

"Immortals of the celestial Court, a Minor Deity comes to aid!"

Just as the celestial Soldiers and Generals stationed at the Southern Continent Jambudvipa were about to lose their defensive line, a somewhat familiar voice reached Li Jing’s ears.

Li Jing, at the cost of enduring a palm strike, gathered the demons in front of him into the Exquisite Pagoda, turned around, and saw ten figures approaching together.

"King Qin Guang, how come you are here?"

Instantly breaking away from the group of fighters, Li Jing looked at the Ten Yama Kings, who were supposed to guard Hell, and asked in confusion.

After all, everyone knows that the demons attacked the Underworld first; hence it has always been of utmost priority.

Now that the Ten Yama Kings had left the Underworld, it puzzled Li Jing greatly.

"We cannot intervene directly in the battle of the Three Realms, but we can still offer a little help."

Chu Jiang Wang said with a smile to Li Jing.

Although all were Golden Immortals, their positions were not on the same level.

This was also the reason they referred to themselves as Minor Deities when they had just arrived.

"Help? How do you plan to do that?"

Li Jing was very puzzled, considering that if they planned on letting Underworld Envoys or Ghost Generals come over, that would be unnecessary.

Not to mention the strength of those Yin Soldiers, just the fact that within the Three Realms their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

It was even uncertain whether these demons would consider the Yin Soldiers as targets for consumption, directly devouring them for a major nourishment.

At the very least, Li Jing had seen clearly just now that these demons could consume the corpses of their own kind, and some could even break through upon doing so.

"South of Jambudvipa has already seen the fall of over a hundred thousand celestial Soldiers; each celestial Soldier leaves behind a soul after death."

"We wish to summon their souls for combat once more!"

King Qin Guang said.

They didn’t bring any Yin Soldiers with them, as Fengdu City currently didn’t have many Yin Soldiers.

Especially since the closure of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Yin Soldiers were suppressing the wandering spirits outside Fengdu City every day, unable to allocate troops capable of forming combat forces.

However, for the Ten Great Kings of Hell, gathering the souls of celestial Soldiers on the battlefield to form a force of Spirit Soldiers was still feasible.

"If this is so, then try it."

Li Jing frowned, not holding much hope in his heart.

But at this point, they really didn’t have any reinforcements,

and could only turn to desperate remedies.

The Ten Yama Kings formed a circle behind the main army.

King Qin Guang looked at the other nine and slowly said, "The great calamity of the Three Realms begins with the Underworld; our Underworld seems to have become the first to burden the Three Realms."

"Now, in the battle of Jambudvipa, it is our turn to be used."

"My brothers, summon the heroic spirits!"

"We are willing to follow the eldest brother and offer our modest efforts!"

Chu Jiang Wang, Emperor Song, and the other Nine Kings of Hell all folded their fists and spoke.

"Capable of punishing Heaven above, able to enter into the Underworld below!"

"Gather millennia of ghostly energy, exchange it for our celestial Soldiers’ immortality!"

"The heroic souls do not disperse, spirits return!"

"Condense the bodies of heroic spirits, fight again!"

"In the name of Yama, the Great Emperor of Hell, forge the supreme physique!"

"In the name of the King of Equality, forge the undispersing Primordial Spirit!"

"In the name of the Reincarnation King, reopen reincarnation!"

"Glory in life and death, no regrets in success or failure!"

"Gather the power of the Six Paths, rebuild the warriors!"

"Gather the force of will of the Ten Yama Kings, one hundred thousand celestial Soldiers, reappear in the human world!"

King Qin Guang shouted loudly, and the Ten together condensed all their mana, pooling it together.

For a moment, the heavens and earth changed colors, and gradually, the space behind the army was enveloped in light.

Within the light, the silhouettes of countless figures were neatly arranged, and there was an aura of intense solemnity.

Meanwhile, the figures of the Ten Yama Kings seemed somewhat ethereal, but each bore a smile on their face.

A hundred thousand fighting forces were their final effort.
