Two days later, Zhang Yu saw that the matters of the Xuanfu had been settled and that there was no need to ask any more questions. Thus, he brought Xiang Chun, Dou Chang, and a young man who had recently donned the Ying Chongguang Divine Robe and flew toward the Land of Gods.
This young man was called Huo Zhi, and he was from Tianxia on the Jun Island. Three generations of his family had been the commander of the guards on the Jun Island.
He was knowledgeable and had grasped rather exquisite martial arts. This time, he had applied to join the Army of God and stood out from the others. He was able to wear this divine robe and become a vice captain.
After Zhang Yu passed Mount An, he did not stop and continued to fly forward.
This was because the Turbid Tide had subsided over the past few days, and the interference of spirituality in the dense forest had decreased greatly. Most importantly, with the beacon tower behind them as a reference, it was not as difficult to determine the direction as before.
As long as they grasped the direction, they would not get lost here.
At this moment, Xiang Chun said, "Head Xuan, because of the Turbid Tide, we were unable to enter the dense forest. Perhaps we can set up a branch here in the future and try to educate the natives here and disintegrate them from the inside."
This land was extremely vast, and the Dongting Protectorate only occupied a corner of the coast. Previously, the ancestors of the Dongting Protectorate had always wanted to explore the interior, but due to various reasons, they had never been able to do so. Now, it seemed like they could pick it up again.
Zhang Yu said, "This matter can be discussed after we return."
With the help of his Heart's Light, the four of them flew extremely quickly. After passing through Mount An, in less than two hours, they passed through a thick layer of ash-white clouds and mist, arriving at that vast expanse of white land.
Huo Zhi looked down and said in shock, "What happened here?"
Xiang Chun said, "This is caused by the Xuan weapons that our Xuanfu threw here. This move was originally intended to wipe out all the traitors of the Army of God and EsGod in one fell swoop, but it failed in the end."
Huo Zhi looked at the boundless white land, his heart filled with shock. Born in the East Court, he couldn't think of any weapon that could cause such a terrible result. It was as if all life on earth had been wiped out.
Zhang Yu looked around and realized that all the Lingdu seemed to have left this place. In addition to the thick greyish-white clouds blocking the way, the place remained the same as when he left. After flying for a while, he even saw the traces he had left behind. He said, "It's right in front. Follow me."
The four streaks of light traveled through the greyish-white world for a while longer before descending in unison.
Zhang Yu took a few steps forward and said, "This is the place."
Huo Zhi looked around and said in surprise, "But there's nothing here."
In Zhang Yu's line of sight, a huge city shrouded in mist appeared in front of him. It was hazy, as if there was an illusory barrier separating it from reality.
He said, "This is the place."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist and knocked it. With a loud bang, the barrier in front of him was broken.
Xiang Chun, Dou Chang, and Huo Zhi suddenly saw a huge hole appear in front of them. Light shone from within.
Zhang Yu said, "Follow me." He took the lead and walked in. The three of them immediately followed. When they entered, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Xiang Chun said in surprise, "These Blood Sun EsGod can actually create such a huge Divine Kingdom?"
Zhang Yu said, "From what I've seen of the Blood Sun EsGod's power, it's indeed difficult for him to achieve this. This Divine City should have other secrets. I suspect that he had external help when he built it. However, we don't have to worry about that. Today, we're here to destroy this Divine City."
At this moment, the Divine City itself seemed to have sensed that they had come with ill intentions. This place that seemed to be the gathering place of all the beautiful things in the world actually emitted bursts of thunder. Dark clouds covered the sky and the temperature suddenly dropped. Then, countless hailstones came crashing down together with howling winds.
Heart light surged out of the four of them, blocking the hailstones outside. They walked forward resolutely in the wind and snow.
Zhang Yu dashed towards the Divine Talisman that was still shining brightly. Xiang Chun and the others followed behind him silently.
Not long after, the four of them arrived at the Blood Sun Temple.
Zhang Yu looked at the divine talisman that had been pierced through by the heart sword and said, "In a while, I will use all my strength to control the sword and destroy this divine talisman. There will definitely be external interference in the Divine City. Senior Xiang, Senior Dou, and Vice Commandant Huo, please protect me here."
Xiang Chun and the other two acknowledged loudly.
After giving his instructions, Zhang Yu sat down cross-legged. He placed the Cicada Cry Sword in front of him and then focused on the sword. Not long after, the sword emitted a buzzing sound.
At this very moment, as if knowing that the end of the world was near, the divine power in this divine city began to surge even more wildly. Torrential rain and hurricanes that blotted out the sky and covered the earth surrounded the four of them. However, they were unable to break through the protection of their Heart Light.
After a while, Xiang Chun's expression changed. He saw a torrential flood surging up from the mountains around the city. It moved towards them with a loud rumble. Everywhere it passed, the divine temples were destroyed.
Huo Zhi bellowed as a golden-orange light blossomed from his body, enveloping everyone in it. With a boom, the water slammed into the barrier of light, and the entire barrier of light was forcefully retracted. However, as Huo Zhi adapted to the power, he was able to push it open a little.
Xiang Chun and Dou Chang could see that they seemed to be standing in another world. It was extremely calm inside, while the water outside flowed rapidly. The things inside constantly collided with the spiritual barrier of light, creating dazzling streaks of light and fire.
They did not move at this moment because in terms of spiritual power, Huo Zhi was much stronger than the two of them. There was no need for them to interfere at all.
However, if he could not hold on, they would work together to set up a barrier behind him.
Zhang Yu did not care about this. He only focused on his sword.
As he channeled his Heart Force, Xiang Chun and the other two discovered that wherever the sword light shone on, there seemed to be nothing there. Furthermore, they had a feeling that their Heart Force was dissipating. They immediately turned around and faced the outside, not daring to look any further.
As Zhang Yu had a few previous experiences, the condensation of the Heart Light this time around was very smooth. After accumulating power to the extreme, his five fingers loosened slightly, and the sword passed through the barrier of light, disappearing in an instant.
However, a short moment later, it suddenly became quiet outside. The endless whirlpool suddenly calmed down and then dissipated like smoke.
Seeing this, Huo Zhi also withdrew the spiritual light into his body.
Then everyone saw that the divine rune above the Blood Sun Divine Temple was flashing rapidly. After a few breaths, it suddenly extinguished. At this moment, it was as if everything in the world had died out, and the entire sky sank into darkness.
After a short while, rumbling sounds rang out in all directions. An unprecedentedly huge tempest was set off in the entire Divine City. The violent power caused the sky to shatter and the land to collapse. Many tornadoes that connected the sky to the earth were born. Everything was swept up and shattered into pieces.
This was because without the divine rune, all the divine powers were no longer able to gather and unify. They started to collapse and disintegrate.
At this moment, Zhang Yu punched the barrier, breaking open a hole that emitted light in all directions in the darkness. He said, "You guys leave first."
Huo Zhi and the other two didn't hesitate and immediately walked out of the hole. After arriving outside, the three of them waited for a while and saw a golden light flash out of thin air. Then, a figure wrapped in a jade light walked out.
Zhang Yu waved his sleeve and dissipated the last bit of divine power light on his body, allowing it to turn into specks of light and drift into the atmosphere.
Xiang Chun asked, "Head Xuan, did we succeed?"
Zhang Yu looked at the three of them and said, "Azizama has been destroyed. From now on, there will be no more Divine Kingdom of the Blood Sun in the Land of Divine Slumbering. Even if these EsGods revive with their original names, it has nothing to do with what happened before."
Xiang Chun heaved a sigh of relief.
Dou Chang sighed. "It's been sixty years. Finally, there's an end."
Huo Zhi clenched his fists. For some reason, he felt especially excited at this moment.
Zhang Yu looked up at the sky. Outside the thick clouds was an even wider world. He said, "Let's go back."
The four of them followed the guidance of the beacon tower and returned to Auspicious Light City in just one day.
Zhang Yu returned to his residence and continued to think about his cultivation path.
In the following days, other than cultivating at home, he would fly out from time to time to explore some ruins and try to search for origin energy in these places. He did indeed have some gains.
Time passed quickly. Since the beacon tower was lit, more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
Even though the beacon tower was still lit up, Tian Xia's ships were nowhere to be seen on the surface of the sea.
The enthusiasm in Auspicious Light City gradually faded, and there was even a pessimistic view that Tianxia could not see the beacon here or did not want to respond. Some even said that Tianxia had been destroyed, so no one would come.
Since the beacon was lit, many students of Taiyang Academy stood on the Moon Embracing Platform every day in anticipation, but they returned in disappointment every time.
But no matter what, the days had to go on as usual.
As the order and production of the protectorate continued to recover, everything returned to how it was before. It seemed that there was no difference except for the beacon tower.
Another month passed.
On this day, Yu Mingyang came to the edge of the port alone. He stood on the shore and looked at the boundless sea in the distance, as well as the rising and falling tides that seemed to never end.
At this time, a strong old man with white hair came over. He looked at him and said, "Young Master, are you here to wait for Tianxia's ships?"
Yu Mingyang turned his head and saw that it was an elder. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, how does Elder know?"
The old man said, "In these days, many young people like Young Master have come here to look at the sea. At first, there were many people, but now there are many fewer."
Yu Mingyang looked at the old man and asked carefully, "I see that Elder is tall and strong, and you still have strength. May I ask if Elder was born in the army?"
The old man smiled and said, "Young Master, you have good eyesight. I was born in the Commandant Army. After I was lucky enough to survive the battle at the Honghe Pass sixty-one years ago, more than a hundred old fellows and I retired from the army. We have been towing ships here every day for no other reason than to be the first to see Tianxia's ships when they appear on the sea again."
Yu Mingyang said, "Elder, do you believe that Tianxia's ships will come?"
The old man smiled, revealing his neat teeth and said, "Young Master, I and my old fellows have been waiting here for sixty years, and we are still waiting here. You have only waited for sixty days. Why are you so impatient?"
Yu Mingyang nodded and said, "Elder, you are right."
He thought for a moment and was about to say something when he inadvertently glanced in a direction and his mouth fell open.
The old man also sensed something and turned his head to look. His eyes also widened.
Zhang Yu was talking to Xiang Chun, Dou Chang and the others in the Xuanfu Affairs Hall, discussing the establishment of a sub-government. Suddenly, a young Xuanxiu rushed in from the outside and excitedly pointed in a direction, "Xuan Shou, outside, outside..."
Zhang Yu, Xiang Chun, and the rest looked at it and realized something. They immediately walked out of the Affair Hall and went to the observation deck outside. When they raised their heads, they saw a huge cloud of light in the distant sky. The light on the beacon tower seemed to be attracted by something and was drifting toward it. It seemed to be responding to each other from a distance.
This strange phenomenon also alarmed everyone in the Protectorate.
All the residents of Auspicious Light City put down the things in their hands and came to the open space outside, staring at the sky in a daze.
On the wilderness, Tao Dingfu stood with a sword on his back, his robe fluttering in the wind, looking at the strange scene in the distance.
On a cliff in the North Sea Hills, Yingxiong stood there, the black fire on his body dancing, staring at the light that seemed to be close at hand.
The cloud of light continued to expand outwards. In the end, with a loud boom, it suddenly transformed into an incomparably huge cloud vortex that almost filled half of the sky.
An extremely bright light flashed by. First, a long, shuttle-shaped shadow broke out of the cloud, and then, tens of thousands of silver flying boats engraved with the patterns of the mysterious cicada wings appeared behind the cloud!
