Chapter 3256: Chapter 3256: Reaching The Core Area

These soldiers had already understood that the intruders were extremely powerful, and that the Dragon Cliff could not resist them.

Patton knew this well, which was why he had asked his men to leave first.

They could guard the seven mountains if they remained alive.

But none of the soldiers was willing to retreat. Patton ignored their determination. What had to be done, had to be done.

“Please kill us if you don't want us to stay!” the strapping man said firmly.

Patton looked at them, stunned. After a long time, he said, “Walker, you need to go to destroy the transmission array. You can all leave through the transmission array before it is destroyed. I'm letting you go back because then you can guard the seven mountains. I'm not going to let you become deserters!”

Everyone knew this, but no one wanted to leave. They didn't have a way back if Walker destroyed the transmission array.

Some distance away, an old man in white approached them, a black rod perched on his shoulder. He shouted, his voice hoarse, “I've heard that the person guarding the Dragon Cliff is Patton, a talent of the Origin Mountain. Are you Patton?”

Patton unsheathed the three-foot-long sword in his hand. The red light on the Dragon Cliff flickered, and the sharp radiance of the Bloody Sword Array appeared. “Yes. What is it to you?”

“We are humans. There is no need for us to fight each other. The Bearing race is in need of powerful warriors. If you are willing to pledge allegiance to our race, you can become immortal and own an eternal life!” the old man said.

Patton understood what the Bearing race was after. Offering the eternal life was indeed a good incentive but nothing could persuade Patton to pledge allegiance to the Bearing race.

He sneered, “Nonsense! Our Oneness Sky Palace is the most orthodox human force in the world. How can we join you?”

The old man didn't think he could persuade Patton. He sighed and looked at the Bloody Sword Array that was wrapped around the Dragon Cliff. Then he stretched out his finger, and tapped lightly on it. “Pass through the middle line. I can break the array easily.”

About fifteen minutes later, the old man came upon the broken transmission array that lay behind the Dragon Cliff.

He frowned.

“This is completely destroyed. Even if it's repaired, it cannot build an accurate space channel,” he said.

Beside him stood a masked man, his skin dark green. He said rather stoically, “We can advance once we enter the Bloom Divine Province. It doesn't matter if we have to spend a longer time.”

“Let's go,” another man said, passing through the transmission array and flying on forward.

After dozens of people had flown away, the old man shook the fishing rod on his shoulder. Patton's head was hanging at the front of the fishing rod. His head had been cut off, his handsome face still scrunched with malice. He stared at the old man ferociously.

“I cracked the array fast enough, but you still killed three of my people with a sword and a broken array,” the old man said with a sigh. “Young people nowadays can't be underestimated.”

Saying thus, he took a step forward and jumped.

Patton's head was now hanging on the fish line, floating behind him.

After the old man caught up with the team, a tall, thin man asked, “There are seven mountains in the Oneness Sky Palace, but our goal should be the Oneness Mountain, right?”

The old man nodded. “The biggest trouble of the Oneness Sky Palace is Eastern Emperor Taiyi. If he breaks free from the shackles and wakes up, all of us will die.”

“We'd better kill him first, since he's trapped on the Other Shore,” the tall, thin man said.

“Of course. I will lead my men to attack the Phoenix Palace of the Oneness Mountain,” said the old man.

There were many arrays in the Oneness Mountain, and even a strong warrior couldn't break through them easily.

But this old man was a supernormal talent of the Bearing race. His talent involved breaking arrays. There was no array in the world that he couldn't break. 𐍂ÂꞐȏBÊṧ

Gethin had handed over most of the information about the Oneness Mountain to the old man. He knew the Oneness Mountain very well, causing him to believe that attacking it wouldn't be too difficult.

But since the transmission array broke, they had to use the slow way—flying.

Soon after they entered the Bloom Divine Province, they found the Ethereal Dragon City in the southwest.

There were also people from the Oneness Sky Palace guarding the Ethereal Dragon City. But they weren't skilled enough to resist an attack from these masters of the Bearing race. They were all killed in the blink of an eye.

Some people had wanted to destroy the transmission array in the Ethereal Dragon City again, but their efforts had been in vain.

After they passed through the transmission array, the members of the Bearing race reached a mountain city. They then passed through the transmission array once again, following which they reached the Dragon City.

The transmission array of the Dragon City lay outside the Dragon Shadow Pavilion, guarded by several Oneness Guards.

During the war, the entire Bloom Divine Province remained heavily guarded, and all the arrays of various sizes in the Oneness Mountain were activated. Even so, the Oneness Guards had never dreamed that these people would enter the Dragon City through the transmission array.

They were stunned to see the old man and the other members of the Bearing race.

“Who are you? Show me the Sword Card of the Oneness Sky Palace!” one of the Oneness Guards shouted.

Before he could finish speaking, a thin fish line was wrapped around his throat. The old man's arm trembled, and with one yank, the Oneness Guard had been beheaded.

The other Oneness Guards were alarmed. Some screamed, some shouted out warnings, some took out their Other Shore Tokens to fight, and some chose to escape.

But it didn't matter what these Oneness Guards did or what choice they made, it was all meaningless in the face of these powerful warriors.

The members of the Bearing race were casual in their moves but many of the Oneness Guards had disintegrated into pieces.

The death of these Oneness Guards alarmed more people.

Sellers who guarded the Sword Tower, Calum who guarded the Dragon Path, and other powerful warriors stationed in the Dragon City swung into action.

These warriors were much stronger than the Oneness Guards. But since the members from the Bearing race were as powerful as Athemar, they couldn't take them seriously.

In the next five minutes, many people in the whole Dragon City were massacred and the city was destroyed.

The old man's wrinkled face looked bored. He looked up at the Oneness Mountain. The mountain's protecting arrays had already been activated.

“I'd prefer to break the arrays as against killing,” he said, carrying the fishing rod to the Dragon Path.

Blazing flames shot up everywhere in the Dragon City.

The Truth Library, the Best Swords Shop, and other places were all now burning.

Those warriors of the Bearing race slaughtered people and burned the Dragon City before flying into the air and following the old man.

The old man climbed up the mountain, breaking all the arrays on the way.

Regardless of the extraordinary power of the various strange arrays on the Oneness Mountain, he could figure out their essence and easily break them.

He climbed to the top of the Dragon Path in less than three hours.

He led the crowd, but did not move towards the three sword sects. They had no interest in either the Flow Sword Sect or the Killing Sword Sect.

He made a detour from the side of the Dragon Path and went to the Phoenix Palace.

News had been sent back to the seven mountains about the members of the Bearing race attacking the Dragon Cliff.

The enchanted barriers of the arrays in the seven mountains had been opened, but the disciples of the major sword sects were still panicking.

In the Flow Sword Sect

Trish, dressed in white, flew along the road between the yards. She gently pushed the door of a house open and found Letitia walking up to her and asking with concern, “How's it going?”

The Sun Crow race had attacked suddenly. Zen had been afraid that Letitia and the others would be worried about him, which was why he hadn't gone up the mountain when he had made his way to the North Unicorn Province from the Dragon City.

It was quite a while before Letitia got the news that the Sun Crow race and the Oneness Sky Palace were fighting, and that Zen had joined the Oneness Guards to fight the Sun Crow race.

Letitia was worried about Zen. But after having gone through so much with Zen, she knew that Zen was able to resolve the crisis. She believed that Zen would return safely.

“The situation is not looking good,” said Trish.

“What happened?” Letitia asked, her heart sinking.

Trish hesitated before saying, “Word is that Emperor Charm has employed the Nine-Sun World Destruction Theurgy in the North Unicorn Province and burned everything in the province to ashes.”

Those who had escaped through the transmission array had relayed this news. After the transmission array was destroyed, they had thought that the North Mysterious City had been burned to ashes and that the seven mountains' powerful warriors had died in the process.

“Nine-Sun World Destruction Theurgy?” Letitia's eyes narrowed.

Trish nodded and said, “That's Emperor Charm's theurgy. I'm afraid it's very difficult for Mr. Luo...”

On hearing the terrifying rumor, Trish thought that Zen might have died in the North Unicorn Province along with the other powerful warriors.

Zen was powerful, but his growth and progress in such a short period of time was limited. Even the strong warriors like Athemar and Pearce had died in the North Unicorn Province. It was farfetched, according to her, that could Zen escape.

“Okay, I see,” Letitia said, nodding.

Trish noticed that Letitia was calm. She knew that Letitia had a deep, close relationship with Zen, which was why she found Letitia's calmness at the news so strange.

Letitia was worried, but in the past many years, she had never seen Zen fear fire.

If the scorching suns had really burned them, the others wouldn't have survived. But Zen's chances of survival were very high.

It was at this moment that another woman in purple walked over to them and asked in a rather hurried tone, “Trish, do you have any news about my husband?”

The purple clothed woman was Edna. Zen had released her from his inner world and allowed her to live in the Flow Sword Sect.

The Evil God had become Zen's Inner-world Generating Avatar, but Edna was still very concerned about the Evil God.

According to her, as long as the Evil God didn't betray Zen, there would be a bright future for him.

The women in the yard had seen the Evil God before, and they all had an instinctive aversion towards him. That was why they disliked Edna. Trish glared coldly at Edna and said, “He's a nobody. How would I know anything about him? He might have died in the North Unicorn Province.”

Edna's shoulder trembled at Trish's answer, her eyes brimming with tears. She forced a smile and turned around.

Margaret looked down at them when she was standing on the second floor, and heard everything that Trish had just said.

Margaret would have cried bitterly in the past at such bad news.

But with her pregnancy, she had become calmer. She had begun to do everything according to Zen's instructions. All for the baby in her belly.

She paled a little, pursing her lips. But she forced herself to calm down, her expression returning to normal. She believed that Zen would come back.

Not long after Trish arrived, the ground began to suddenly shake.

Rumble...

A dragon-shaped lightning exploded in the distance, seeming to cut heaven and earth in half.

Even a colossal thing like the Oneness Mountain began to shake. It looked like a giant beast trying to shake off the lice on its body.

Margaret was agile. She had been leaning against the fence to stare at the lightning which came from behind the Flow Sword Sect. It wasn't hard to guess that it came from the Phoenix Palace.

The Oneness Mountain, especially the Phoenix Palace, the core of the Oneness Sky Palace, was on high alert. After all, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was protected in the Phoenix Palace.

If the intruders were to attack and kill him, the Oneness Sky Palace would lose its biggest support.

More than sixty people floated above the white mist, led by an old man carrying a fishing rod.

A man with red hair had just released the lightning. Many bolts of lightning were still moving in the man's palms like small insects. He smiled and said, “Master Ware, you met with no resistance on your way here. But this white mist is now stopping you. I wasn't expecting this!”

This man was called Hancock Zhu and he was the brother of one of the Five-element Emissaries from the Bearing race.

Ware glared at Hancock Zhu and sneered, “The previous arrays are powerful, but their techniques aren't that great. Breaking them is cakewalk for me. The Primitive Illusion in front of us was personally set up by Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Breaking it isn't that easy.”

When Hancock Zhu had launched a series of punches at the Primitive Illusion, Ware felt the hate bubble up within him. He thought that he was just another vulgar man. If Hancock Zhu hadn't had a brother who was one of the Five-element Emissaries, he wouldn't have been qualified enough to stand together with Ware.

Ware shook the fishing rod, sneering disdainfully at Hancock Zhu. The thin, long fishing line had already disappeared into the mist.

“The Primitive Illusion is arranged using the eighteen pillars of the Primitive Temple. If we can't find the eighteen pillars before entering the illusion, we could be trapped inside for life,” Ware said, smiling faintly.

Back then, the Oneness Sky Palace had been on good terms with the Sun Crow race. Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Emperor Charm had had a close, friendly relationship, and treated each other as brothers. Some secrets weren't secret to the two races, which gave Ware the confidence to break the array.

Everyone in the Phoenix Palace was panicking.

The lightning that had descended from the sky was enough to prove the strength of the opponent.

Fortunately, it was not that easy to break the Primitive Illusion. The lightning had fallen outside the Phoenix Palace, but the palace itself was not damaged.

But could the Primitive Illusion really block the powerful warriors?

Most of them despaired.

There were a lot of guards guarding the Supreme Dragon Hall.

Over a thousand golden armored guards stood guard on the outermost layer.

Most of these golden armored guards were only as powerful as the five-star Oneness Guards.

Flamine stood before the palace gate, knowing that once the Phoenix Palace was destroyed, these golden armored guards would be nothing more than cannon fodder.

She raised her head, her eyes easily piercing through the layers of white mist and falling on the strong warriors of the Bearing race.

“They split into two groups. The first group went to capture the North Unicorn Province, while the second group came to attack the Bloom Divine Province...” Flamine sighed.

This was not a complicated strategy.

When the Oneness Sky Palace fell short of soldiers and generals, it would have no power to fight back against the joint attack of several large races.

“What should we do if the powerful warriors come in? How about we move Eastern Emperor Taiyi away from here?” Jean paced back and forth in panic.
