Long Chen’s every word caused a resonance with the ten thousand Daos. He was not a human delivering a threat, but a heavenly emperor proclaiming an edict that all beings under heaven were to obey.
He sounded perfectly calm, but Zi Yan knew better. Behind this composure simmered boundless killing intent. He was truly angry; otherwise, he would never have decided to simply erase an entire force out of existence. Yet even so, he had still given a chance to the innocent. Those who did not wish to be implicated had the chance to leave before that happened.
Sadly, this had happened before, and few people had ever taken that chance. Lo and behold, there was no reaction from anyone this time, either. But that was entirely within Long Chen’s expectations. He had given those people a chance to live, and whether they seized it or not had nothing to do with him. His conscience was clear.
As for everyone else, they only felt that it was a threat to force that person to shut up. Unfortunately, the other side clearly didn’t feel threatened.
Suddenly, a massive surge of devil qi started gathering above the battlefield and moving towards the eight Flag Bearers. This gushing devil qi was mixed with a massive amount of baleful qi.
“Damn, it’s a curse!”
The spectators gnashed their teeth. All of them wanted to tear apart that bastard helping the outsider devils.
Curses were actually a speciality of the outsider devils. They were able to condense the resentment of experts when they died and turn it into curse qi. They were ruthless to their enemies, but also to themselves—even their own dead comrades were weaponized in this fashion.
Black qi condensed into sinister faces. Those faces shot towards the eight Flag Bearers.
The Flag Bearers’ expressions finally changed. By this point, due to the intense fight, they had all been forced to summon the High Firmament Flags to protect themselves; even Zhao Yue was out of power. That traitor had once more been correct: their flags were karmic luck divine items, and any curse that managed to infect them would cause the karmic luck of the first academy to plummet. However, if they were to put away the High Firmament Flags, then they would definitely be cut to pieces in their exhausted state.
Long Chen raised his hands and prepared to intervene when he heard Miao Yin’s voice in his mind.
“Young Master, leave it to me.”
The next moment, the sound of the drum ceased, and so did Miao Yin’s dance. She took a deep breath, and a holy serenity took over her expressions. She formed hand seals and began to chant.
“The ancestor of all profundies within heaven and earth, the source of ten thousand qi!
“A hundred million eons of cultivation to acquire my divine abilities.
“Within and without the three worlds, the Dao reigns supreme.
“The golden light of the Dao is reflected upon my face.
“Look for it and it cannot be seen, listen for it and it cannot be heard.
“Yet it contains all manifestations of heaven and earth, and all beings living within them.
“Revere this faith ten thousand times to be blessed with light...”
Miao Yin’s voice changed. It was normally gentle and pleasant, but now, it was heavy and filled with murderous intent. Every word was filled with immense power, her voice filled all of heaven and earth as if the ten thousand Daos were repeating what she was saying.
Yet though her voice was dark, with every word she spoke, the darkness of the curse qi was driven back another step. The world began to shine brightly once more! Then, golden radiance began to glow around the eight Flag Bearers, as well as Miao Yin’s troops.
“Guard the three worlds, welcome the five sovereigns, pledge fealty to the ten thousand gods. Ghosts break, demons quiver, monsters lose their form. The lightning god’s name hidden within thunder...”
As Miao Yin continued to chant, the golden light grew stronger.
“Damn, this is the Golden Light Divine Curse! This is impossible!”
The leaders of the outsider devils let out furious roars as they saw this golden light growing. The Golden Light Divine Curse was a supreme divine technique back in the primal chaos era. It was the strongest counter to their curses!
There were two versions of the Golden Light Divine Curse. One was chanted, while one was inscribed into talismans and charms.
For someone to be capable of chanting it, they had to have a clear heart and be filled with righteousness. Any shadow in their heart would cause this golden light to devour them instead. In addition, there were harsh requirements to their mental energy. Even in the primal chaos era, those capable of unleashing the Golden Light Divine Curse were monsters among monsters.
As for the talisman version, it also required supreme skill in talisman-making. Such grandmasters were incredibly rare even in the primal chaos era.
During the primal chaos war, this divine technique was so effective against the outsider devils that they immediately sacrificed countless experts of their own and countless traitors of the nine heavens to wipe out the force that had created it.
After the primal chaos war, the nine heavens and ten lands declined, but the outsider devils did not relax. The moment any information about the Golden Light Divine Curse appeared, they would crush it with all their might. Even if the information turned out to be wrong, it didn’t matter; it was better to lose ten thousand of their own people than allow a single person who knew it to live.
Thanks to their all-out efforts, the Golden Light Divine Curse had long since vanished from the nine heavens and ten lands. Amongst all these experts present, there were less than a handful who even knew of it. As for the disciples of the junior generation, there was not a single person who knew of it. If it were not from the outsider devils’ shocked expressions, they would have no idea that the human race had a curse capable of countering the outsider devils.
As Miao Yin chanted, the golden light surrounding each and every person became so powerful that it looked as if she were commanding an army of blazing suns. It was so bright that those watching from the side didn’t dare to look directly at it.
“AAAHHH!”
The sinister faces inside the black qi screamed in pain. Golden flames ignited upon them, and they were soon incinerated. The black qi covering the world disappeared also immediately. Not only that, but the outsider devils within range of the golden light felt a sense of terror well up within them. This was an entirely new feeling for them. They didn’t even know what it was, but they were shivering in fear.
Miao Yin was pale now. This was definitely beyond her current abilities. But her eyes were staunch and filled with pride, and she once more began to dance on her drum. Everyone felt power coursing through them. This golden light felt like a blessing from the world, giving them boundless power.
“The golden light can suppress the outsider devils for an incense stick’s worth of time! Warriors of the nine heavens, crush them! None shall leave this place alive!” shouted Miao yIn.
Since these outsider devils knew about the Golden Light Divine Curse, then certainly knew that it could only last for a short time. Furthermore, her cultivation base was too low, and she had already gone past her limit just to unleash it once. There was no way she could do it again in this short time.
Thus, Miao Yin directly revealed this fact to everyone. That way, everyone who wanted to kill more outsider devils would know to seize this chance.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
The outsider devils were now terrified; everyone could feel their fear.
The beat of Miao Yin’s drum quickened, and the joint army instantly shifted into a wedge formation. The eight Flag Bearers joined their ranks, taking the vanguard.
Once they took their positions at the tip of the wedge, the Flag Bearers finally experienced how terrifying a music cultivator could be. With every beat of the drum, their exhausted energy was replenished. With this kind of recovery rate, they could just recover while fighting! As long as they didn’t go all-out like before, they could keep fighting for days!
This giant army shone with golden light as it turned into a giant arrow shooting through the outsider devils’ ranks.
