Chapter 495: Chapter 233 Divine Chosen’s Might_2

”I know,” Li Yelai said, clad in his Ming Guang Armor as he arrived near the small town amidst the mountains. A large number of troops had already gathered here.

To take down this small town, Red Fury had summoned a large number of men from the nearest sub-branches and strongholds overnight.

The number of Blood God Sect members had surpassed three thousand, with more than half being Spiritual Ability Users.

As for heavy weaponry like tanks and hot melt cannons, due to the mountainous terrain, the Blood God Sect hadn’t brought them in.

However, even without heavy weapons, the believers were brimming with excitement.

A multitude of heads had been piled up along the mountain path, divided into eight portions, forming eight ghastly corpse piles.

Thousands of Blood God Sect believers were praying nearby.

Li Yelai understood what they were planning; the holy number for the Blood God, a deity of Chaos, was eight.

For certain rituals, it was best to associate related numbers with ’8’.

According to official intelligence, there had been a year when the Blood God Faction used eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight heads as sacrifices at eight past eight on August eighth. They had successfully summoned a flesh-created horror. Fortunately, Giant City discovered it early, dispatching many powerful individuals to intercept and prevent its growth.

Now, the Blood God Faction intended to suppress the Taboo Items in the town’s defenses using similar methods.

”Stalwart, how much is done?” Li Yelai glanced at the bloody corpse piles and asked the servant beside him.

The one called Stalwart was a trusted aide that Li Yelai had chosen, a Fourth Awakening Spiritual Ability User.

Of course, Li Yelai didn’t need a Fourth Awakening for protection; his main duty now was to carry Li Yelai’s weapons.

Currently, he was bearing Li Yelai’s longbow, the Golden Bone Sword, and the Red Gold Mace.

Once Li Yelai had his Fifth Sense, allowing him to store his Spiritual Ability Equipment in the soul well, Stalwart would go from being a mere armorer to a vanguard.

”Lord Di Yun, there are currently four thousand six hundred and eighty heads,” Stalwart replied respectfully.

Among these four thousand six hundred and eighty were the heads of their own people from the Blood God Faction.

”Not too few,” Li Yelai nodded.

”But we’re still short of some, so we plan to execute some captives to make up the four thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight heads,” Stalwart explained as his words fell.

Li Yelai then saw a group of captives brought out, beheaded directly by the Blood God Sect members.

During the execution of the captives, two Divine Chosen sought out Li Yelai.

Red Fury said, ”According to the original plan, once the ceremony begins, Xue Yin and I will directly attack the town, forcing Mo Ya to make a move. After Mo Ya takes action, you can enter the town to avoid him blocking you.”

”Based on the intelligence we’ve extracted, they have only Mo Ya as a Sixth-sense Expert. With your strength, as long as it’s not a Sixth Sense, there shouldn’t be too many problems,” Xue Yin added, ”Once we take down Mo Ya, the rest will be your feast.”

”Understood, I hope you can strike down Mo Ya’s head and embrace the glory of battle,” Li Yelai said.

”Envious?” Red Fury responded, ”The chance to kill a Divine Chosen doesn’t come by often. You’ve got no opportunity this time.”

Li Yelai smiled and didn’t respond. There still was a chance. The Divine Chosen he could kill certainly wasn’t limited to just one...

When the count of heads on the corpse piles reached four thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, numerous believers began chanting mysterious incantations.

Fierce flames ignited atop the eight corpse piles, and bizarre forces started to surge from the Void Realm.

The evil ceremony commenced, with the corpse piles transforming into sanguine blood fountains, reversing their flow upward toward the town.

’Crack’

’Crack’

A series of dense cracking sounds emanated from around the town.

Some believers had driven a herd of Extraordinary Creatures to charge toward the town.

The creatures crossed the blood fountain and approached the town unimpeded, their bodies not softening but rather being slain by the Eternal Life Sect members on the town walls.’

Seeing this, nearly all Blood God Sect members were excited. The terrible poison had finally been suppressed!

Next, it would be their time to shine!

In an instant, Red Fury and Xue Yin wore excited smiles as they led their legions directly against the town, ready to engage the enemy in fierce hand-to-hand combat!

But the Eternal Life Faction had no interest in such brawn. Upon the town walls, numerous points of fire emerged - hot melt guns, hot melt cannons, plasma cannons, virus bombs... Varieties of technological and mystical weaponry roared in unison at that moment.

Furious barrages rained down among the Blood God Sect members, intending to annihilate them on their path to the charge.

However, amidst the countless roars, Li Yelai heard the laughter of Red Fury.

He was like a sanguine arrow, shooting straight towards the town, his body bursting with scarlet flames, which swept out and directly destroyed the shells nearing him.

He bored directly into the town, piercing through its walls.

With his giant axe swinging, several nearby Spiritual Ability Users were brutally hacked to pieces! Blood and flesh flew, limbs scattered!

At the same time, Red Fury’s voice exploded in the Void Realm, ”Mo Ya, come out and meet your death!”

”Red Fury, is it? Come on, I’ve been wanting to cultivate a species using the body of a Divine Chosen.” From deep within the town, Mo Ya laughed, ”I am right here, waiting for you.”

”Good! Just wait!” Red Fury laughed heartily, charging into the town.

Behind him, hundreds of Bloodsuckers, wielding blood-colored great swords, followed Red Fury’s charge.

In another direction, Xue Yin likewise led his troops into the town, with a large number of Church followers in tow.

Once inside the town, they engaged in fierce combat with the Eternal Life Sect believers stationed there. The release of abilities by various Spiritual Ability Users made the Void Realm itself begin to churn.

The clamor of battle cries almost pierced the heavens, but the attack of the Blood God Faction began to meet resistance.

Within the town, there were copious firepowers and evil ceremonies, and numerous Chaos Eggs were imprisoned.

Several Taboo Items were also activated.

This hindered even the seemingly invincible melee fighters of the Blood God Sect, with casualties skyrocketing from the outset.

Spiritual Ability Users attempted to take to the sky to bypass barriers, only to be dragged back down to the ground by a force.

Believers attacked the walls, seeking a faster route, but once they breached the barrier, they found themselves lost within.

Hundreds of Bloodsuckers rampaged through the town, slaying many of the Eternal Life Sect believers and indiscriminate Chaos Eggs, only to suddenly feel the earth quaking beneath them.

The next second, a massive war machine appeared at the end of the road, a war machine covered in flesh tumors, reaching five meters in height, with a sharp ram and fast-spinning blades at the front.

This was the Eternal Life Sect’s war machine, the Meat Grinder War Machine!

In the next second, the Meat Grinder War Machine charged at the Bloodsuckers.

The Bloodsuckers, being somewhat rational, naturally wouldn’t take the hit. They attempted Aerial Stepping, but were pulled back to the ground by some force.

Some sought refuge inside buildings, only to become lost as soon as they entered.

The remaining Bloodsuckers could only howl and charge at the Meat Grinder War Machine, yet were mercilessly shredded and devoured by it. Their blood and flesh turned into projectiles and fuel, striking down even more followers of the Blood God Sect.

For a time, a dozen Meat Grinder War Machines appeared, rampaging through the town and slaughtering the Blood God Sect followers.

This town was, to begin with, an Eternal Life Sect base with formidable security forces. The invaders would pay a horrific price.

This made Li Yelai, who was standing by outside the town, watch with great excitement.

’Scholar, oh Scholar, look at you, still thinking of taking down the town? Do you see? The armaments inside the town are enough to fend off the assault of thousands of Spiritual Ability Users!’

Fortunately, the ones attacking the town were people from the Ember Church, so no matter how many died, there was no heartache.

However, in the midst of the battlefield, a Meat Grinder War Machine was cleaved in two.

Red Fury emerged from the wreckage of the war machine, laughing furiously: ”Do you think such tricks and cunning can stop me? Hahaha!”

He exhaled a breath of foul air, and then his voice spread throughout the Void Realm.

”I come forth to face, to combat, to dominate...”

The Void Realm seemed to fall into silence, with only the voice of Red Fury echoing within.

Meanwhile, a force was surging from the Void Realm into the Physical Universe.

The aura of Red Fury began to surge violently.

”I forge the sword of glory for honor, tested in the spring, ultimately to dye the ground red with the blood of my enemies....”

Terrible power blossomed on Red Fury, the might of some existence revealed in the Physical World!

In that instant, he stepped to a higher level of life.

The terrifying pressure tore through the oncoming battlefield.

”All is offered up... to the Blood-colored Throne!”

The Divine Chosen, Red Fury, obtained Divine Favor! He reached his peak!
