Chapter 2201: Wang Chong Appears! Grotto Heaven Battle!
Translated by: Hypersheep325 Edited by: Michyrr
“Pass on my order! Mobilize the Yeluohe!”
An Lushan’s order was quickly transmitted to the rear, and the thirty thousand Yeluohe that had been like motionless statues this entire time seemed to awaken. A terrifying death energy exploded from their bodies and swept out in all directions like furious waves.
Rumble!
Space trembled and the earth groaned, unable to bear the frightening power of the thirty thousand Yeluohe.
Boom! At the very front of the army, the crimson eyes of the Yeluohe leader flashed. He charged forward, and with this simple action, the numerous Yeluohe charged out with him.
The thirty thousand Yeluohe had the strength of an erupting volcano, instantly drowning out the energies of all the millions of other soldiers on the battlefield. The Tongluo Cavalry, the Aswaran Cataphracts, and even Wang Chong’s Nine Heavens, Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation seemed as dim as the light of fireflies compared to the brightness of the moon.
“The Yeluohe!”
Sun Zhiming, who was leading many of Wang Chong’s elite cavalry, was stunned by that heaven-rending energy.
An Lushan’s strongest Yeluohe were no secret to Wang Chong’s subordinates. Almost all of the higher echelons knew about them.
Even though they had heard about them, truly experiencing that unstoppable surge of energy made Sun Zhiming realize that these Yeluohe were far more frightening and powerful than he had imagined.
Sun Zhiming felt that each Yeluohe was the equivalent of a general.
Bang!
The earth trembled and the snow covering the ground shot up a hundred-some feet as the horses of the Yeluohe hammered down with their hooves. The snowy mist obscured their bodies, making them seem even more savage and terrifying.
“Careful!”
“Defend!”
The sight of those thirty thousand Yeluohe approaching like a tsunami made Wang Zhongsi, Zhang Shougui, Bahram, and Abusi pale.
When they had first heard the news, An Lushan had only five or six thousand Yeluohe under his command, but now, he had several times that number.
The Tongluo did not exceed ten thousand and were invincible above it. In the past, the Tongluo Cavalry had become renowned throughout the world with only ten thousand. But these Yeluohe were even stronger than the Tongluo Cavalry and were more numerous. All of them felt greatly threatened.
“They’ve finally moved out!”
Floating in the air, Wang Chong watched the approaching Yeluohe with a sharp glint in his eyes.
The Yeluohe!
In Wang Chong’s mind, he was more inclined to call them ‘semi-otherworldly invaders’.
For this war, everything from the recruitment of the million-man army to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation was part of his preparation for a conventional war. But his true concern was the semi-otherworldly invaders that the men in black and An Lushan had prepared.
Even though the thirty thousand Yeluohe had yet to make impact, Wang Chong could hear that the bleak and deathly energy they radiated had caused all the warhorses on the battlefield to cry out in alarm. Even Wang Chong’s Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation was being affected.
There was no doubting the strength of the Yeluohe, but now that these soldiers had finally moved out, Wang Chong was actually able to calm down, like a heavy burden was lifted off his shoulders.
In this war, Wang Chong did not fear opponents with formidable moves. What he was truly worried about was hidden moves.
Wang Chong quickly calmed down, his eyes flashing as he looked up to the sky.
Compared to the charging Yeluohe with their deathly energy, the threat in the air was far more urgent.
Boom!
Lightning flashed and thunder boomed, powerful spatial ripples emanating out of the turbulent clouds. At the same time, a frightening energy appeared in Wang Chong’s senses.
Genesis Supreme!
After several months, this Supreme of the Celestial God Organization had once more appeared in this world, revealing his true face on this fiercest battlefield of the northeast.
But Genesis Supreme’s energy had subtly shifted compared to when he had appeared in the capital.
“Truly lucky!”
Wang Chong slightly clenched his fists, a harsh light in his eyes.
“But this time, you won’t be that lucky.”
The Celestial God Organization possessed unfathomable and mysterious methods. During the battle in the capital, Genesis Supreme had been destroyed by the formation and left with only a soul. But after several months, he had somehow reconstructed his physical body and had returned to his peak strength.
This sort of power was simply unheard of, truly seeming like the work of the gods.
Even Wang Chong couldn’t but feel a hint of apprehension.
Given the abilities displayed by Genesis Supreme, if he were not utterly killed, he would probably be able to revive endlessly. For Wang Chong and the Great Tang, this was an enormous and incessant threat.
“Brat, in the capital, you dared to destroy this god’s physical body. Now, you are without the protection of that formation, so this god will tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust!
“As for these soldiers you brought, this god will annihilate them. That is the price for provoking a god!”
Genesis Supreme stood deep within the thunderclouds. His body was bursting with strength, his figure muscular and stalwart, appearing like a god who had walked straight out of a mural. Lightning crackled around him, and he wore a suit of ancient, yellow divine armor. His awe-imposing appearance struck fear into all that looked upon it.
Boom!
Genesis Supreme extended his right hand, and a black metal talisman appeared between his index and middle fingers.
“Lightning Judgment of the Myriad Gods!
“The end of days has come!
“Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman, go!”
Genesis Supreme flicked his hand, and the black talisman flew through the air and transformed into an azure sphere of lightning. All of the lightning in the area was drawn to the sphere, instantly strengthening the Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman.
From a distance, it appeared that a giant meteor was descending from the heavens.
The wrath of heaven!
This was truly the wrath of heaven!
In the face of the power of nature, the largest armies would appear insignificant.
“Ah!!”
Cries of alarm came from the battlefield as numerous Tang soldiers felt as if their extinction was nigh.
The dazzling, azure sphere of lightning made all of them seem like ants.
All of them could see that the lightning sphere was aimed at the Tang defenses and fortress to the south. If this sphere made impact, at least half of the Tang army would be obliterated.
“Haha, die! No one can stop the Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman! This is the punishment for blaspheming against gods!”
The Divine Works Elder let out a sinister chuckle, a cruel smile appearing on his lips.
The Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman was a one-use object that was rumored to have been personally crafted by ‘Heaven’. There were only three in total, and they were used specifically to punish mortal dynasties and exhibit the wrath of the gods.
That Genesis Supreme would use this talisman the moment he appeared indicated that he still harbored a deep grudge against Wang Chong for the destruction of his physical body in the battle of the capital.
The Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman had so much power that it could instantly decide this battle.
Rumble! Lightning seethed as that meteoric ball of lightning swiftly hurtled toward the Tang army.
Time seemed to slow to a crawl, fear appearing in the eyes of the soldiers.
“Brat, accept your fate!”
Genesis Supreme’s callous voice came from behind the lightning sphere, pronouncing everyone’s end.
“Genesis Supreme, you’re too simple-minded.”
A soft chuckle came from within the fortress.
“This one has been waiting for you for some time.”
Bang!
A boundless energy as vast as the seas suddenly emerged in the senses of all the elite experts on the battlefield.
High in the sky, Genesis Supreme suddenly grimaced.
“Wang Chong!”
He had instantly recognized Wang Chong’s energy.
This wasn’t his first time clashing with Wang Chong, but this Wang Chong seemed completely different from before. On him, Genesis Supreme could sense a familiar energy that was somewhat similar to his own.
Bang!
A figure shot out of the fortress and toward that meteor of lightning.
As that figure appeared, powerful ripples of spacetime appeared in everyone’s senses.
“Spacetime energy! That’s impossible!” the Divine Works Elder cried out in disbelief.
Before anyone on the battlefield could react, boom! The figure that had emerged from the fortress struck that sphere of lightning.
It was impossible to describe that collision. As Wang Chong crashed into it, powerful spacetime energy erupted from his body.
This spacetime energy coalesced into rings of dark golden Halos of Spacetime that rippled out from Wang Chong.
The Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman possessed an unimaginable level of power, presenting a massive threat even to an army of millions. However, for Grotto Heaven experts that could control spacetime, it was a much smaller threat.
