Chapter 1699 — The Hermit of Dragon Mountain
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
Through these days of slaughter, the Divine Martial Two Guards' advantage had been brought out by Shang Pingyin.
As demigods, their bodies were mighty, tireless in battle, and moreover the Divine Martial Two Guards' soldiers had exceedingly high cultivation, having already worn down the Yuhua Camp's soldiers.
If the battle continued, the Yuhua Camp and Meng Yungui with them would certainly be annihilated to the last man!
At last, the Divine Martial Two Guards' formation diagram was urged to its utmost, and surges of imperial might soared into the sky from the formation diagram, like heavenly palaces merging together to form the great Celestial Court formation of eighteen heavenly palaces.
Meng Yungui's face was ashen.
This was the formation diagram that the four great Celestial Masters had jointly created; among the four, he had rendered the greatest merit, contributing the greater part of the formation diagram's structure. In the battle pursuing Wuyou Township, by means of this formation he had overwhelmed Langwan, slain countless Wuyou Township soldiers, and forced Wuyou Township's four Celestial Masters to join forces in opposition before they could hold back the Celestial Court's offensive.
Yet this time, he and his Yulin Army would be buried by the very weapon he himself had designed! He turned to look back at the Southern Heaven, his heart blank: "I should not have listened to Yuchenzi, should not have listened to the Mu Heavenly Venerable.
Dreams—heh heh. .
.
" Then suddenly his spirit rallied, all his dharma power erupting, and wrapping up all the surviving soldiers of the Yuhua Camp, he said in a stern voice: "Brothers, come with me to death—are you willing? " "This is our honor!
" Laughter rang out again and again.
Within the formation, divine light soared into the sky, and one figure after another stood with him, facing the Divine Martial Two Guards! Seeing this, Shang Pingyin shook his head: "Overestimating their own strength.
" The two great formations collided, and the Yuhua Camp was about to be completely submerged, when suddenly a jade pillar of incomparable thickness descended from the heavens, spinning, and with a thud drove into the center of the two great formations, sending mud and mountain rock flying in all directions! Beneath the jade pillar, a great fellow with a dragon's head and a turtle's back strained to rotate the pillar, and the twenty-eight heavens instantly swelled with a howl, countless heavy treasures appearing within the twenty-eight heavens, their radiance shooting in all directions, breaking the Divine Martial Two Guards' formation and sending the hundred-thousand-strong army of gods and demons flying on the spot!
The twenty-eight heavens shifted and interleaved in succession, gathering Meng Yungui and the surviving Yuhua Camp soldiers into the heavens. Meng Yungui and the others, unable to control themselves, landed upon one heavy treasure after another, astonished and uncertain.
They had thought they would surely die, yet unexpectedly they had not died—they had been saved.
"Fortunately I was not too late. " A familiar voice reached Shang Pingyin's ears, and his expression changed drastically.
He hastily looked toward the sound and saw that atop the jade pillar and the twenty-eight heavens stood a youth with a qilin's head and a human body, his garments fluttering. "The Hermit of Dragon Mountain!
" Shang Pingyin blurted out.
"It is indeed this Long.
" The dragon-qilin stood at the highest point, gazing from afar at Shang Pingyin, and smiled: "Shang Pingyin, sixty thousand years since we parted—we meet again.
" The Celestial Court's great army surged mightily toward the Origin Realm, and ahead of them the waters of the Celestial River had already flowed downstream, pouring into the Origin Realm. Suddenly, the Heavenly Observation Bureau came rushing to report: "Your Majesty, there are strange signs in the Southern Heaven.
