Chapter 651: Chapter 373: Celestial Soldiers’ Campaign, Disrupting the Celestial Eye People’s Plan (Part 2)
Commander Li recalled for a moment and then said:
"I remember this prize has been posted for over a hundred thousand years and has never been completed. The reward increases year by year, and now the reward for completion is a great merit and 100,000 immortal merits."
"Alright, we will verify it later. Once confirmed, we will compensate as promised."
"As for the matter regarding the Eastern King, I believe it to be true."
Speaking to this point, his expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"Commander Li!"
"Present!"
"I command you to immediately gather the celestial soldiers of the First, Third, Seventh, and Eighth Camps and follow me to the outer void."
"At your command!"
Commander Li received the order and immediately went out to muster the troops.
On the way, he called for Duan Moye, leaving Su Yu and the Guardian Envoy alone.
"Sit down!"
"At your command!"
The Guardian Envoy sat upon the meditation cushion, speaking in a gentle tone:
"There’s no need to be formal, just as always."
"How long have you been in service now?"
"I have served for three years."
"After your service, are you preparing to be transferred to the Battle Division?"
"I have such a thought."
"Hmm, I suggest you get promoted to True Immortal before transferring."
Su Yu knew this was advice and quickly replied:
"I understand."
Guardian Envoy Zhao smiled and chatted with him about some everyday matters for a few minutes before letting him leave.
An hour later, Commander Li completed the muster.
Celestial Pillar Mountain has ten camps, each with 300,000 celestial soldiers, totaling 900,000 soldiers. After discounting those away, there are still over 800,000, composed of one Celestial Punishment Immortal Battleship and three Celestial Strike Immortal Battleships.
This was not the so-called Celestial Strike Battleship and Celestial Punishment Battleship Su Yu had seen before at Blue Mountain; those were merely namesakes and entirely different concepts.
The previous Celestial Strike Battleship was only of the seventh rank, and the Celestial Punishment Battleship of the eighth rank, just imitations of the Celestial Court’s Celestial Strike and Celestial Punishment Battleships.
However, the Celestial Strike Immortal Battleship and the Celestial Punishment Immortal Battleship are standard warships of the Celestial Court, surpassing the tenth rank. The Celestial Strike Immortal Battleship is a hundred kilometers long, comparable to a low-grade warfare spiritual treasure, and the Celestial Punishment Immortal Battleship is three hundred kilometers long, comparable to a mid-grade warfare spiritual treasure, covered with immortal arrays and war weapons capable of contending against Profound Immortal-class behemoths.
Su Yu, Duan Moye, and Guo Yun were placed on the Celestial Punishment Battleship. The massive fleet directly activated the celestial array within Celestial Pillar Mountain, tearing open a spatial rift and passing through to the outer void on the other side.
The violent void storm battered the battleship, which remained unmoved.
Shortly after, the four warships adjusted their direction and began to accelerate, exceeding Su Yu’s flight speed in less than five minutes.
It had taken him several months to return, yet the fleet reached the grotto heaven fragment cluster in less than a month, heading straight for the center. On the sixth day of the month, they arrived at the place he had visited months ago.
"It’s right there."
Su Yu pointed to the center of two large grotto heaven fragments and said:
"The remnant soul of the Eastern King has fused with a top-grade spiritual treasure, making it hard to sense from the outside."
Standing beside him, Guardian Envoy Zhao vanished into thin air. After a while, the dark void in front shook fiercely, ripples spreading out, and an enormous dark world suddenly emerged from thin air.
After a while, Guardian Envoy Zhao spoke again, with light flashing in his eyes:
"Indeed, it truly is the remnant soul of the Eastern King of the Wuding Immortal Dynasty."
"Moreover, there’s an audacious group attempting to refine the Golden Immortal’s remnant soul with a serpent swallowing a dragon technique."
"Relay my orders: the Third Camp shall set up the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon Trap Array; the Seventh and Eighth Camps shall establish a defensive barricade, and the First Camp shall prepare the Nine Heavens Demon Execution Array to break the realm."
As the orders were given, countless celestial soldiers flew out from the immortal battleships, led by hundreds of commanders and thousand-man commanders, each carrying out their duties to set up formations and defenses.
A Celestial Punishment Immortal Battleship positioned at the center, while three Celestial Strike Warships were scattered to the four directions.
Su Yu had no task and thus waited within the Celestial Punishment Battleship.
At this moment, however, three Celestial Eye People warships parked on the other side of the world emerged. They had noticed the Celestial Court’s grand operation long ago; at first, harboring flukes, but now, seeing the army’s formation, had no choice but to appear.
Two True Immortals of the Celestial Eye People flew out of their battleships, shouting loudly:
"The Celestial Eye People request an audience with the Guardian Envoy!"
The Guardian Envoy appeared in the void, and solemnly said:
"Celestial Court’s mission, clearing out the wanted remnants, you all must vacate immediately."
The True Immortal of the Celestial Eye People on the left immediately shouted:
"Guardian Envoy, I beg to report, we have already controlled this place and are eliminating the remnants of the Wuding Immortal Dynasty."
Guardian Envoy Zhang’s face turned a shade of anger, and he coldly snorted:
"Such audacity, to deceive me, thinking I have not verified it?"
"You have the time of one incense stick to withdraw immediately, or face severe punishment under the grounds of obstructing Celestial Court enforcement!"
The two True Immortals of the Celestial Eye People wore a bitter expression, one still wishing to argue, but was pulled back by the other:
"It’s no use. With the Guardian Envoy leading nearly a million celestial soldiers, there is no room for negotiation. We have one incense stick’s time; notify the marshal immediately."
The two True Immortals, with a bitter expression, cupped their hands and said:
"We beseech the Guardian Envoy to grant a little more time to allow our people to withdraw."
"Humph, you have no right to bargain with me. I will initiate the attack after one incense stick."
Within the dark world, Celestial Eye People Profound Immortal Yuyue was instantly aware of everything but instead of anger, he calmly contemplated for less than ten seconds before deciding:
"It is fate that we did not complete our goal. Our Celestial Eye People’s destined fortune is still insufficient, or else we would not have been interrupted midway."
"However, even though the task wasn’t fully completed, I’ve taken the most crucial step, already consolidating a ray of golden nature. With this foundation, ascending to Golden Immortal will be within a thousand years."
