Chapter 1109: Activating the Ten Thousand Spirits Saint!

Chapter 1109: Awaken the Universal Sage!

"Kill them! Kill them all!!"

"Destroy the Shadow Ghost Clan!"

"Eliminate these foolish human beings who show no regard for death!"

"Dauntless invaders! You shall become the buried corpses beneath our Yōmei Divine Mountain!"

...

Trillions of soldiers from both sides surged forward, crashing into battle in a thunderous clash.

Yan Jun stood amidst the vast army, his expression stern, fixed upon the battlefield where the combat raged.

Then, his face grew darker and darker.

For he suddenly saw—shockingly—his own soldiers, generals, heroes, and deities from the Shadow Ghost Clan being mercilessly crushed by the armies of the Sun Kingdom.

The gap in individual soldier quality between the two sides was as vast as heaven versus earth—completely incomparable.

As for the divine beings and true gods, however, they clearly held a decisive advantage.

Seeing this, Yán Jūn finally exhaled in relief.

Yet then, upon observing the powerful soldiers of the Jiáoyáng Kingdom on the battlefield, his expression grew stern once more.

"Although in the realm of gods and true deities, we hold a clear advantage,"

"the ordinary soldiers of the Jiáoyáng Kingdom possess an overwhelmingly superior strength."

"The intelligence reports were indeed accurate."

"The soldiers under the command of the Earth Sovereign are truly all imperial-grade troops."

"But how is this possible? Where did he acquire so many resources and treasures to train such elite soldiers?"

Yán Jūn remained utterly baffled.

Raising an imperial-class soldier is no simple task.

Compare it to the past, when only the noblest of the human race—such as the Great Paladin—could ascend to become an imperial-class soldier, like the Annihilator Knight.

Such a path demanded not only vast resources and rare relics, but also individuals perfectly suited to the requirements of the promotion. Coupled with decades—sometimes even centuries—of rigorous training, only then could a soldier successfully achieve the rank of imperial-class.

As for the certification proving one's ascension to imperial-class status?

Yan Jun never even considered it.

To them, the difficulty of obtaining such a certification was far greater than actually raising a single imperial-class soldier from scratch.

And now, the proud sun kingdom boasts over five million such soldiers—all of them imperial-class.

Could it be that all of them were recruited through imperial-class enlistment documents and certification?

Absolutely impossible.

He could only conclude that, perhaps, the Celestial Sovereign had discovered some secret, swift, and scalable path to rapidly and massively promote soldiers into the imperial-class—thus, in such a short span of time, he now commands so many such elite warriors.

At that very moment.

He saw the Holy Flame God, alongside the True God of the Magus Crocodile Clan, Dicken, the True God of the Shadow Clan, Tarokor, Jakro, and over ten other True Gods of supreme strength, charging toward him—the chieftain of the Yin Ghost Clan.

Several divine spirits from the Yin Ghost Clan attempted to intercept them, but were swiftly and casually slain.

The Yanchun remained calm, not the least bit agitated.

"Xiaofeng, Xue Chen."

"It seems they are all coming toward us."

"No need to hold back—engage with full force."

"Even if we fail to capture the Celestial Sovereign of the Common People today, we must wound him deeply, so that he will never dare to invade the territories of our three clans again."

As the Yanchun spoke, a surge of divine power surged through his body, and he was fully prepared for battle.

"Very well."

"Then let us fight to the very end."

Xiao Feng and Xue Chen exchanged a glance, quietly stepping back a single step, positioning themselves behind Yan Jun.

When Yan Jun finally sensed the betrayal, Xiao Feng and Xue Chen had already surged forward, their faces twisted with fury, wielding their sacred artifacts and launching a joint assault upon Yan Jun's back.

Yan Jun had never expected his allies to turn against him at such a moment.

Unprepared, he could not react—his entire form was split in half by the combined force of the two gods, his aura plummeting instantly.

In the midst of this sudden upheaval, Yan Jun gritted his teeth and instantly teleported away, appearing miles beyond, his eyes cold and filled with disbelief as he stared at Xiao Feng and Xue Chen.

"You... have turned to the Emperor of the People!"

"Why? With our combined strength, even the Emperor of the People could not defeat us."

"After repelling the Emperor of the People's assault, we remain the chieftains of our respective races, holding the supreme status and power of our peoples."

"Our races remain fully independent and sovereign."

"Is this not better than your allegiance to the Emperor of the People's Realm?"

Yan Jun was utterly bewildered by Xiao Feng's and Xue Chen's choices.

"Stupid." Xiao Feng sneered coldly.

"Short-sighted." Xue Chen spoke indifferently.

Having witnessed their assault succeed—though they had not slain their opponent directly—they did not rush to finish the job. Instead, they issued orders to their respective race factions:

"All Tian Qian and Luo Sha clans, hear this order!"

"Execute the true strategic plan and join the soldiers of the Prairial Kingdom to eradicate these obstinate, defiant spirits of the Yin Ghost Clan—those soldiers, heroes, and deities who refuse to yield!"

"Understood!"

Twenty billion Tian Qian and Luo Sha soldiers echoed in unison.

Then, without hesitation, they turned and raised their weapons, charging headlong into the ranks of the Yin Ghost Clan soldiers.

How could the soldiers of the Shadow Ghost Clan have foreseen this scene?

Before the Shadow Ghost Clan soldiers could even recover from the shock, they were instantly struck by betrayal—soldiers from the Tian Qian Clan and the Luo Sha Clan slaughtered nearly billions of their comrades in a single, merciless strike.

The deities of the Shadow Ghost Clan and its allied forces suffered staggering losses, with over a hundred of them vanishing in an instant.

Seeing this, the Yan Jun’s long-standing composure and calm expression shattered completely. His face turned suddenly ashen, pale as the moonlight on frozen earth.

Yet what deepened His despair even further was this:

High above, Zhou Zhan, unmoved by the chaos, slowly raised his right hand and pointed steadily toward the Shadow Ghost soldiers.

A silent ripple of energy surged forth, spreading like ripples across a still pond, engulfing the entire battlefield of the Underworld Divine Mountain.

A textual prompt appeared.

[Tip: You have activated your Mythic-Level, Unique Master Talent—‘Universal Saint’!]

[The Universal Powers regard you as the Supreme Saint and yearn to follow your path!]

[Lord's Talent Prompt 1: A total of approximately 851 million common Yin Ghost Clan members, 17.6 billion 151.9 million 78,770 Black Iron-level Magic Serpentine Clan soldiers, 14 billion 368.1 million 5,418 Bronze-level Yin Ghost Clan members, 8 billion 87.59 million 6,520 Silver-level Yin Ghost Clan members, 5 billion 86.9 million 1,750 Golden-level Yin Ghost Clan members, 35.6 billion 17.8 million 7,960 Platinum-level Yin Ghost Clan members, 10.1 billion 150.2 million 7,878 Diamond-level Yin Ghost Clan members, 5.6 billion 15 million 6,902 Transcendent-level Yin Ghost Clan members, 3.5 billion 31.6 million 7,050 Epic-level Yin Ghost Clan members, 200 million 65.02 million 7,805 Legendary-level Yin Ghost Clan members, 2,561 lower-tier divine alien deities, 1,586 mid-tier divine alien deities, 919 upper-tier divine alien deities, and 48 true god-level alien deities who have independently severed their allegiance to their lordly factions and now serve as loyal followers of yours!]

[Lord's Talent Prompt 2: You have acquired a Speaker—Lovieth (a mid-tier god-level entity)!]

After seeing this result, Zhou Zhan nodded in satisfaction.

This time, the Universal Spirit Sage's harvest was quite impressive, directly granting him 50.11 billion 709.8 million 9,160 soldiers.

Additionally, in terms of deities, he secured 5,066 divine beings and a full complement of 48 true gods!

A single encounter with the Universal Spirit Sage nearly doubled the strength of his divine ranks.

Free access is simply blissful!

Zhou Zhan mused.
