Chapter 587: Lion Moun
t
On the sides of the array formation, the West Barren experts rushed forward in formation. This time, the array formation formed a soaring bird instead of the giant god.
Zhong Yue and Shi Buyi walked in the middle of the array formation, and when the totem patterns formed the soaring bird, they were covered in the godly bird's internal organs!
The new array formation had trapped them within the godly bird, so that its strong digestive system could ground them away!
It was the internal organs' jobs to root out any impurities within the body, and with them formed by the godly totem patterns, the godly bird array formation was made even more terrifying!
Yet, Shi Buyi's nine heads released a series of loud roars that ravaged the lands around. The celestial experts were struck hard by the soundwaves, and their eardrums burst. Right away, the god-leveled array formation was brought to a grounding halt.
Zhong Yue's pace was as usual and the expression on his face remained the same while the giant lion followed closely on the back.
Shi Buyi held the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons, and formed the Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array as he broke the godly bird array formation into halves. Hundreds of celestial experts were butchered in his Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array. Zhong Yue walked on the blood of the dead experts, not a single skill could reach him under Shi Buyi's protection.
The Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array sent Zhong Yue to the edge of the first altar. The godly bird array formation was torn to the ground, and all that was left was a floor of corpses.
On the altar was enshrined a Gui Shen godly spirit. The Gui Shen high priest's pupils shrunk like needles and he quickly cast out his staff. The staff was made from the backbone of an unknown creature, and it had five chained skulls on the top. After the Gui Shen high priest surged his demigod arcane energy into the staff, the five skulls spun rapidly, and grew larger with strong surges of godly auras rising within—they were the skulls of gods!
The five skulls opened their mouths wide and gnawed down at Zhong Yue.
"Don't you dare!" Shi Buyi roared and before the skulls could even get close to Zhong Yue, they were stopped by the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons, five blunt sounds of weapons clashing resounded together into a cacophonous symphony.
Gui Shen high priest squinted his eyes and stared at Shi Buyi, he said in a rumbling voice, "Lion, you and I once had a good relationship, why do you stand in my way and help the human instead? Could it be that you have bowed before him and became his mount? What a shame!"
Shi Buyi's face blushed, he laughed in spite of anger, "Bullshit! I am a human's mount? I'm just here because I don't like you West Barren celestial races! Your shamelessness has stimulated the pains of what our monster race had been through, that's why I am here to help the humans! Who do you think you are? For me to let go of the racial affairs because of our shallow friendship?"
Gui Shen high priest took a step back into the void, he disappeared and hid inside of the shattered array formation. His voice came from every direction, sneering coldly as he said, "You are just his mount, there is no need to quibble anymore! When Xiao Wuji was fighting with Wei Xue God, I saw the human riding you with my own eyes!"
This old brat, he must be killed for his mouth to be sealed forever!
Shi Buyi was immediately filled in incredible killing intent, and he lunged all out!
His[Monster God Ming King Art]was completed by Zhong Yue, after so many days of cultivation in addition to the battle with Wei Xue God, his strength was pushed to a whole new level compared to before, and he had decided to kill the Gui Shen high priest at all costs!
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue strode onto the altar and met with a mighty Gui Shen godly spirit hovering in the center of the altar; he could also hear faint chants of worship on the altar.
Zhong Yue looked further behind the altar, there were many Gui Shen experts that bowed and were worshipping the godly spirit. Although they were a far distance away, their prayers could still be heard.
It was the first time Zhong Yue saw millions of experts worshipping together, he was truly amazed.
Then, he looked further away and was stunned at the scenes that came into his visions — altars scattered across the Divine Battlefield, and uncountable celestial experts were worshipping at the godly spirits and divine weapons enshrined on the altars!
In fact, it was incredibly easy to kill the Gui Shen godly spirit on the altar, all he had to do was slaughter the Gui Shen experts; without the worshippers and lack of power of the worshipp, the Gui Shen godly spirit would naturally fall back into his slumber, giving Zhong Yue a chance to kill him.
However, in turn, even if Zhong Yue did kill the godly spirit, the power of worship would still revive him again, rendering him literally unkillable!
But it was beyond Zhong Yue's bottom line to annihilate an entire race; Feng Wuji could do it as simply as killing an insect, but Zhong Yue still lived by a moral code of his own.
The West Barren celestial races were shameless, but they had yet to cross the line; naturally, Zhong Yue wouldn't act inhumanely either.
Furthermore, he wasn't here for a cold-blooded massacre, he was here to trample on the dignity of the celestial race!
He wanted to bring Wei Xue God away right in the face of all the celestial races, to let them know that the human race was no longer the sheep they could treat with impunity!
"How grand..." Zhong Yue smiled, he raised his head and looked at the Gui Shen godly spirit in a smile, "Well then, let's do this!"
Then, he shifted his gaze far behind the godly spirit and looked at the altars, he raised his voice and said, "Come on!"
"Zhong Yue...!" rumbling voices came from the altars, they replied in a series of loud roars, "Come!"
Before the voices faded, the Gui Shen godly spirit lowered his body and shouted at the top of his voice. A shrill cry attacked Zhong Yue's eardrums, like the mourns of innocent souls shrouding on his Yuan Shen!
Inside of Zhong Yue's pysche ocean, innocent souls formed by totem patterns emerged within and the Gui Shen godly spirit also disappeared into Zhong Yue's psyche ocean. His claws were reaching for his heart!
Although this Gui Shen godly spirit shared the same origins as Wei Xue God, he had a different skill set to Wei Xue God; it was even more bizarre and difficult to defend against!
Zhong Yue would never fear frontal combat, but the Gui Shen godly spirit had no mortal body for him to strike. He struck right in Zhong Yue's psyche, polluting Zhong Yue's psyche ocean and attacking Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen with his powerful godly spirit!
On the altar, Zhong Yue was paralyzed, he couldn't move at all.
Meanwhile, faraway on the Shan Shen altar, the Shan Shen godly spirit laughed loudly while dashing over with his four arms wide open. The eyes on his palms shone and shot out four light beams at Zhong Yue!
At the same time, his four huge palms followed closely behind the four light beams!
In just an instant, Zhong Yue found himself in a precarious position!
"You dare to fool around in my psyche ocean?" Zhong Yue suddenly laughed. His psyche ocean shone brightly as the Sui Sovereign, Sui Tree, and Fire Order Palace manifested themselves. Immediately, the innocent souls were vaporized into green smoke.
Zhong Yue's Innate Golden Crow True Spirit fluttered in his psyche ocean, spreading its wings out and turning into a round sun high above.
Sunfire billowed down from it and cleansed the psyche ocean.
Whereas Zhong Yue sat in the Fire Order Palace like a Heavenly Monarch. He clenched on the Sui Tree and slammed on the Gui Shen godly spirit, suppressing it down beneath!
On the altar, Zhong Yue abruptly opened his eyes, but the four light beams had already bored through his mortal body, leaving four blood holes on him while the Shan Shen godly spirit's palms were about to hit him!
"Try harder!" Zhong Yue roared back. Two bright saber rays flashed through the sky and severed the four incoming arms. The Shan Shen godly spirit quickly receded, but the two saber rays flitted over and sheared toward his head like scissors.
However, the Shan Shen godly spirit's lacerated body had turned into spiritual energy and was reformed on the Shan Shen altar. The chants of worship brought him back alive without any injuries!
The godly spirit guards over the livings, and the livings were also guarding over the godly spirits' continuing existent!
In just the blink of an eye, Zhong Yue strode to the front of the Shan Shen altar. There, the Shan Shen experts had already formed a god-leveled array formation, waiting for his arrival. In a series of loud yells, the Shan Shen array formation was activated and formed the image of a mighty Shan Shen god!
Meanwhile, the Shan Shen spirit on the altar was seen walking down toward the array formation, if he merged with the Shan Shen godly image, his prowess would be greatly boosted!"
"Where's my lion mount!" Zhong Yue called.
"Here!" Shi Buyi rushed from behind, holding on the Gui Shen high priest's head in his hand and was soaked in blood.
Dong—
Shi Buyi was filled with great killing intent, he tied Gui Shen high priest's head on his waist and leaped into the array formation while laughing loudly, "You want to merge together with the godly image? Dream on! Or you will have to pass through me!"
The Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons slaughtered the Shan Shen experts in the array formation, while the soundwaves of his nine heads' roarings were superimposed together to disrupt the flow of the array formation!
Whereas Zhong Yue took a step forward, he clenched the sabers tightly and brought it down in a slashing motion, cleaving away the array formation in the middle!
Shan Shen godly spirit's four arms launched a fierce barrage at Zhong Yue. The two of them were entangled in a fast-paced battle, exchanging strikes at an incredible clip.
All of a sudden, the saber rays blinded the surroundings, and the Shan Shen godly spirit was decapitated again. Zhong Yue stomped his head into the ground, and the godly spirit dispersed into motes of light.
But the chants of worship from the Shan Shen experts revived the godly spirit once again. When the Shan Shen godly spirit returned, he quickly moved back. Zhong Yue struck his hand into the void, and the space behind the godly spirit was distorted. However, Zhong Yue's hand never did came back out, he was gloved by the space barrier, and was only able to barely clench onto the Shan Shen godly spirit.
I still can't break through the space barrier yet. I'm still a slight distance away from contending with real gods. At most, my prowess is a near-maturing saint spirit, Zhong Yue thought to himself.
Further away, there were thunder rumbled as the Lei Bird godly spirit soared into the sky from the altar. His wings fluttered and reached the front of Zhong Yue in just a second as it tried to claw down at Zhong Yue's head.
"Aouh—"
Then, the Jinshui Raging Ape Celestial Race's godly spirit drummed on his chest, he picked up a golden stick from another altar and leaped toward Zhong Yue!
In another altar where a god's corpse was enshrined, the godly corpse suddenly stood up and sprinted over, arming himself with two huge cymbals and slamming them toward Zhong Yue's head!
Lei Bird - Lightning bird
Jinshui - Gold Water
