Chapter 240 - 268: All the Ancestors Gather! Celestial Wind Divine General
An ethereal voice echoed across the heavens.
A giant golden palm parted the brilliant clouds, reaching for the man in the red robe.
An irresistible, terrifying might spilled from between the golden hand's fingers, pressing down on the red-robed youth like a colossal mountain.
"Damn it! Who is this!?"
Below, the red-robed youth desperately circulated his surging True Qi, trying to resist the pressure. He grit his teeth, his body trembling slightly, a look of horror on his face.
"It's him!"
A figure standing nearby was also stunned by this pressure, his Heart Spirit shaken as he stared blankly at the sky.
The next moment, a white-robed figure appeared in his vision, seated high amongst the clouds.
He recognized this person.
It was Su Bai, the one he had fought fiercely with outside the Imperial City.
BOOM—
Before he could recover his senses, the golden palm descending from the sky let out a deafening roar, tearing through the glowing clouds.
It was now less than a hundred zhang from the red-robed youth!
The red-robed youth, about to be captured by the palm, suddenly steeled his heart and used a strange Divine Technique.
A hazy white light seeped from his body and shot into the Immortal Ship floating in the sky.
The next moment, Su Bai seized the red-robed youth. To be precise, he seized a part of his body.
"Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell?"
'This Divine Technique is rather interesting.'
Su Bai looked at the youth's body in his hand, its soul aura now gone, a hint of surprise on his face.
After his Divine Spirit's transformation, Su Bai could see through the trick at a glance.
Looking again at the red-robed youth who had landed on the Immortal Ship, he appeared unharmed, but his overall aura had dropped by more than just a few times over.
Clearly, he had used a life-saving Divine Technique, abandoning his original body to survive by a stroke of luck.
FWOOSH!
The next moment, before the red-robed youth's murderous gaze,
a wisp of golden flame ignited on Su Bai's fingertip, completely incinerating his physical body!
It turned to ash and scattered in the wind.
The red-robed youth watched this scene, clenching his fists so hard his heart felt like it was bleeding.
That was his original body! He had spent a thousand years cultivating it, pouring in countless resources and effort.
And now, it had been effortlessly erased.
His current body was just a clone. Who knew how much time it would take to cultivate it back to the strength of his original.
SWOOSH!!
Just then, the sound of something tearing through the air came from the distance.
These newcomers were the powerhouses of the Righteous and Demon Daos, who had rushed over after noticing the disturbance in the world and hearing the commotion.
Earlier, when Su Bai had struck, he had shattered the Purifying Heaven aura emanating from the thousand-zhang white ruler, which had greatly lessened the pressure on them.
And so, they had all flown here.
Among the dozens of figures, the one in the lead was none other than the Sword Saint Ancestor of the Celestial Sword Sect.
He was currently staring blankly at the white-robed figure in the sky.
His face showed shock, yet also joy.
The Righteous Dao experts behind him were also in a daze.
It was as if a voice was whispering in their hearts, repeating the same name over and over.
The voice grew louder and louder...
until the white-robed figure in the sky slowly lowered his gaze, stepped onto a golden cloud, and walked down from the heavens,
revealing a handsome, upright, and peerless face.
Like an Immortal God descending to the mortal world.
Everyone's body trembled slightly. The voice in their hearts amplified to its peak and burst from their lips.
"We greet the Lord of Heavenly Punishment!"
Everyone spoke in unison, their expressions respectful.
That man...
The man representing the pinnacle of Great Xia's combat strength had finally arrived!
The Lord of Heavenly Punishment!
Many lowered their heads, a thrill of excitement rising in their chests.
Their previously panicked minds instantly settled.
Su Bai's appearance was like a Stabilizing Needle, allowing the scattered Martial Dao strongmen of Great Xia to regain a sliver of confidence.
On the Immortal Ship, a bloody light flashed in the red-robed youth's eyes as he muttered hatefully.
"So, he's the Lord of Heavenly Punishment!"
Of course, besides the red-robed youth, there were others who felt enmity and resentment at Su Bai's appearance.
For instance, those from the Demon Dao.
During this period, Su Bai's thunderous attacks had captured nearly all the high-level combatants and top figures of the Five Demonic Sects.
Some were killed, some were annihilated, and some were suppressed.
The Five Demonic Sects were practically crippled.
This was especially true for the Black Lotus Sect and the Soul-devouring Demon Sect. Not only were their ancestors gone, but the Great Xia Dynasty and the Orthodox Sects were also hunting them down everywhere.
They were like rats scurrying across the street, hunted by all.
They couldn't bear another day of this bitter life.
They had tried to contact their Upper Sect forces in the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, but were only told to wait and hold on a little longer.
Now, an official from the Earth Department had come to expand their territory.
To them, this was the dawn of their escape from this sea of suffering.
'Good, you've come! Lord of Heavenly Punishment...'
On the Black Lotus Sect's side, their sole remaining Dao Palace Realm Vice Sect Leader was now staring coldly at Su Bai with an incredibly venomous gaze, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
'Your Cultivation may be heaven-defying, your power immense.'
'But I'd like to see you try and overturn the heavens of Da Yu!'
Someone like him, with close ties to the Upper Sect, knew all too well what a behemoth the Dayu Immortal Dynasty truly was.
In this world,
The Dayu Immortal Dynasty *was* the heavens!
"OOOOH—"
Just then, the vast and desolate sound of a horn echoed between heaven and earth.
Suddenly, a portal on the Immortal Ship boomed open.
One by one, squads of soldiers clad in golden armor marched out in formation.
Each of these soldiers radiated a powerful aura.
Among them, the imposing commander at the head of the group, holding a golden spear, had a particularly vast aura.
Anyone who dared to look up at him would be filled with an indescribable sense of dread.
The moment he appeared, his aura soared like a signal fire's smoke, instantly filling the world before transforming into invisible mountains that pressed down viciously.
The burly Armored Warrior who had blown the horn knelt on one knee and said with a solemn expression, "Divine General, the strong have gathered here. We ask for you to act!"
Now that the three artifacts were stable, the Celestial Official had long since departed. The matter of expanding the borders here was left entirely to the Golden Armor Divine General before them.
On the Immortal Ship, the Divine General holding the golden spear listened to the burly Armored Warrior's report, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
His tiger-like eyes finally came to rest on Su Bai, who stood upon the void.
Then, he spoke coldly, "Attack!"
"Yes, sir!"
In an instant, the host of Golden Armor soldiers behind him soared into the air.
Seeing this, the expressions of the Great Xia's Righteous Dao experts changed drastically.
After taking a deep breath, they clashed fiercely with this new batch of soldiers.
They fought a bloody battle, each move tearing apart the clouds on the horizon, accompanied by splashes of blood!
Terrifying shockwaves, like peals of thunder, spread far into the distance.
Meanwhile, the Demon Dao powerhouses stood where they were, their eyes flickering, but did not make a move.
'Such a character exists in a place as insignificant as this?'
The Golden Armor Divine General standing on the Immortal Ship narrowed his eyes slightly, staring indifferently at Su Bai.
Because of the Concealing Breath Scripture, he couldn't discern the depths of Su Bai's Cultivation.
But from the subtle rhythm revealed in Su Bai's every move, he could guess that this person, like himself, possessed a Void Realm Cultivation.
BOOM!
Following that, the Golden Armor Divine General's right hand, which gripped the golden spear, twitched slightly.
Facing Su Bai, he swung the spear with lightning speed!
The golden spear, like a sky-cleaving Golden Dragon, roared as it shot toward Su Bai.
PFFT!
Su Bai simply extended his right hand, easily stopping the spear's deadly strike and catching it in his grasp.
He lowered his gaze to inspect it.
The spear was over two meters long, its golden light blinding, and it was alloyed with ancient Divine Gold.
It possessed extreme spirituality.
Gripped tightly by Su Bai, it thrashed about madly, like a deranged Flood Dragon.
Just by holding it, Su Bai could sense it.
The material of this golden spear surpassed even that of the Celestial Net Sword and Mingfeng Saber he had previously wielded.
'The Dayu Immortal Dynasty is as rich and imposing as they say.'
Su Bai muttered to himself, then reached out and gently wiped the spear.
The Artifact Spirit's spirituality within the spear was instantly erased by him.
On the Immortal Ship, the Golden Armor Divine General sensed this. His expression changed in an instant, and he roared in fury.
"You dare!?"
However, under his furious gaze, he saw Su Bai, standing in the sky,
flick a finger!
CRACK!
The golden spear let out a clear, mournful cry as it shattered into pieces.
Then, Su Bai glanced at the red-robed youth, who was still in a daze.
He reached out his palm once again!
The Golden Armor Divine General, standing at the ship's prow, also raised his right palm in fury, clashing violently with Su Bai.
The next moment, however, he was clearly outmatched. His eyes widened as his body was sent flying backward.
Blood streamed from his mouth and nose!
And amid a desperate roar,
Su Bai's palm strike sent the Immortal Ship flying.
He seized the red-robed youth, gripping him tightly in his palm!
