Chapter 2622: Chapter 2620: Final Battle

"Blade momentum? This strike cannot be dodged."

Ethan Smith furrowed his brow. It seemed that the momentum of the blade exhibited within this Holy Kingdom was more peculiar.

The momentum at the moment, like a storm battering a city.

A red dot reflecting the order appeared before Ethan Smith’s eyes, and this red dot slowly extended to Grayson’s body.

"Put down the blade, or else once it’s unleashed, I can’t guarantee I can pull it back."

Grayson burst into laughter.

"General."

Suddenly, a chilling sensation stopped his laughter abruptly.

A fine line of blood had appeared on his throat without him knowing.

If the Vajra Long Knife had gone a few inches deeper, his trachea would have been cut completely.

"What a terrifying technique, this can’t be practiced..."

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Grayson’s head, and he had no idea where this blade had come from.

"Actually, this is also the peculiar aspect of this Holy Kingdom. The laws here counteract each other. Even the strongest person finds it hard to ensure they’ll stand at the top and not die. Maybe this is the balance of this Path Profound Holy Kingdom."

Ethan Smith vaguely speculated.

"Probably so. Each Holy Kingdom has its own unique order, but with the Holy Lord’s death, this order’s power gradually weakens. The City Lord of Nine Bends City is one such example."

Yvelise Ayers analyzed from the side.

"Moreover, according to my guess, the realms of this Path Profound Holy Kingdom divide into five levels: Beast Spirit, Human Spirit, True Spirit, Path Spirit, and Holy Spirit. We should be between Beast Spirit and Human Spirit, whereas the City Lord of Nine Bends City, Felix Cloud, or Saifu, are already at the peak of Human Spirit. These living beings already have strong consciousness, even forming a frightening mindset."

"What mindset?"

West Hill asked with some curiosity.

"Exclusivity. As long as there are outsiders, they cannot attain true freedom. Because once someone collects the Heart of the Holy Kingdom, these people can turn to flying ashes with a mere thought. Any living being derived here cannot defy the Holy Lord’s will. Therefore, the longer we survive, the more troublesome things we’ll likely encounter."

Yvelise Ayers said with a bitter smile.

Ethan Smith nodded; there was something he didn’t say.

The City Lord of Nine Bends City was already an even more frightening existence.

He could conceal his cultivation, so that even Saint Morning Frost couldn’t detect it. Such power is not something an ordinary Human Spirit could achieve.

Boom!

As they were talking, a violent explosion suddenly erupted.

This was Yurell Middleton’s Skill Core Detonation. The terrifying shockwave swept over toward Ethan Smith.

Even though he had witnessed it several times, the dreadful power still amazed Ethan Smith.

"What terrifying power, but it takes too much time to trigger. Without collaboration, it’s really hard to hit."

Ethan Smith’s Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil was fixed on Yurell Middleton, easily spotting his weaknesses.

"Immortal Emperor Yao, previously Felix Cloud mentioned needing the power of my Heart of the Holy Kingdom. How can this power be triggered?"

Ethan Smith tentatively inquired of Immortal Emperor Yao in his Sea of Knowledge.

"The power of the Heart of the Holy Kingdom requires you to at least perceive the order here to use it. You must reach the True Spirit level to wield this Holy Kingdom power. It’s the most purely violent national strength. One Heart of the Holy Kingdom can trigger one power. Of course, this power has various uses: in cultivation, weapon crafting, combat, and even healing and breakthroughs. The City Lord might be leveraging this Holy Kingdom power to break through a certain limit."

Immortal Emperor Yao uncharacteristically directly answered Ethan Smith’s question.

At this moment in Nine Bends City, a destructive consciousness suddenly descended upon the city.

Saifu invoked the Legion’s period of weakness and had fully recovered.

A chilling Divine Soul aura suddenly enveloped the entirety of Nine Bends City.

Simultaneously, another consciousness surged out from the bunker prison, and a maniacal laugh echoed across Nine Bends City.

"You dare act recklessly in my territory?"

In an instant, that chilling Divine Soul aura was scattered.

The bone fire in Saifu’s pupil began to burn fiercely. He pointed his dry, pale finger in the city’s direction.

"Very strong, on par with me."

"No matter. In this outer region, he too is constrained. As long as he can’t act against outsiders, I alone can slaughter them all. The Heart of the Holy Kingdom is wasted on you."

Zephyr Grimm looked at Nine Bends City, a sinister greed flashing in his eyes.

"Were it not for my inability to act against outsiders, I truly would want to kill you and see what secrets you hold to be so powerful. Your strength is even more terrifying than the strongest Black Dragon under my command."

Saifu let out a hoarse laugh.

"Soon you will know."

Zephyr Grimm also wore a strange smile.

In the Time Cube, a year quickly passed, during which time Ethan Smith became quite familiar with practicing Sequence of Reflection.

In close combat too, through duels with Grayson over the year, Ethan Smith made significant progress.

However, he still couldn’t practice his own ’momentum’ like Grayson. This power was different from his Evil Eye sword technique.

It completely discarded rules, purely utilizing the power of the blade combined with the body’s strength, just like Hicks’ One Sword, One World.

And Grayson’s blade momentum ascended another realm. Yvelise Ayers, West Hill, and Yurell Middleton also made great strides.

When they emerged, the undead army had completed its assembly.

Eight Black Dragons circled the sky above Nine Bends City, casting a daunting shadow that made one’s scalp tingle.

"In this battle, even though Saifu’s power has been discounted, our situation remains dire. We must fend off Saifu’s legion to obtain the pass to deeper regions. Thus, Zephyr Grimm is an inevitable opponent. This person can defeat Grayson with a single punch, whether through Divine Soul Holy Power or physical prowess that surpasses the Black Dragon. If this person isn’t dealt with, we cannot win."

Yvelise Ayers spoke with a solemn expression.

"Actually, I have a question. Why, if the city gets overrun, would that count as a failure? What if we escape from this Nine Bends City?"

West Hill still couldn’t comprehend.

"Junior Sister West Hill, actually, from how you arrived at this Nine Bends City, it’s clear that back then I also tried to avoid this city. However, no matter how I tried, there was only one path leading here. Therefore, avoiding this place isn’t an option for us. Moreover, neither the soldiers nor General Li Liefeng here display emotions beyond battle and fixed response patterns."

Ethan Smith said with a bitter smile.

"This is just a random Mystic Realm side quest set up by Saint Morning Frost for preliminary screening of outsiders. If we fail, The Power of Erasure will completely clear us out."
