Chapter 124: The Will of the Army Breaker (2)
Page (1/3)
“Boom!”
Huo Guang looked as though he were being boiled alive, his entire body scorched crimson by the heavenly thunder.
“That was the eighth bolt. Huo Guang has only one left, yet the will of the stars is still lingering between him and that other man. Young Master Yan?” Azure Dragon asked with a frown.
“The will of the Doom Star? It must be Huo Guang’s!” Yan Chuan said gravely.
He raised his head and gazed into the starry sky.
His eyes went straight to the Doom Star.
Following its position, Yan Chuan soon found another star—the brightest of them all.
The Purple Star, also known as the North Star, lord of the celestial configurations and star of emperors.
Yan Chuan narrowed his eyes as he stared at it. For an instant, he seemed to establish some mysterious connection with the Purple Star.
Buzz!
The Purple Star flickered faintly. A halo of light shot toward the Doom Star.
Naturally, apart from the hosts of the stars, no one could see this scene. It was too subtle, too distant.
In his previous life, Yan Chuan’s will had merged with that of the Purple Star. Though he had been reborn in this life, his soul remained that of his former existence, with his will hidden within it. Naturally, he could still connect with the Purple Star.
The Purple Star was lord of the celestial configurations and thus commanded the Doom Star.
Though its influence over the Doom Star was limited, when the choice came down to one side or the other, it could still tip the scales ever so slightly.
Boom!
The final bolt of heavenly thunder crashed down upon Huo Guang.
At the same time, all the starlight in the surrounding heavens suddenly gathered around him. A beam of white light descended directly from the Doom Star, shooting toward the crown of Huo Guang’s head.
“No! How could this happen?” Muye King cried out in alarm.
Boom!
Huo Guang withstood the final bolt of heavenly thunder. The tribulation clouds dispersed.
Brilliant starlight converged around him, enveloping him within a pillar that seemed to reach from heaven to earth.
Most of Huo Guang’s clothes had been torn to shreds, yet the aura surrounding him surged with overwhelming force.
Buzz!
The starlight around Huo Guang suddenly condensed into the enormous phantom of an armored warrior.
Within the apparition, the armored warrior glared wide-eyed. Roiling killing intent swept in every direction. A long spear was clutched in his hand, and every movement of it radiated boundless bloodshed.
“The will of the Doom Star! Excellent!” Azure Dragon shouted in delight.
For a moment, Huo Guang seemed to become the focus of every eye—not merely because he had survived the tribulation, but because of the will of the star itself. Many of those present were witnessing such a thing for the first time.
Majesty, murderous intent, the will to shatter all resistance, an aura of invincibility! The phantom of starlight displayed the star’s domineering will in its entirety.
“This shouldn’t have happened! It shouldn’t have happened!” Muye King roared furiously from the other side.
Liu Gang had completed his tribulation. He should have been looking up at the heavens and howling with joy, but now he held his breath, not daring to make the slightest sound. He had ruined his master’s plans once again.
Whoosh!
Huo Guang opened his eyes. The starlight phantom surrounding him suddenly contracted and sank into his body. The pillar of light vanished as well.
Nearby, Black Feather True Lord, who was still undergoing his tribulation, stared at Huo Guang with a deeply sullen expression—the man who had just gained such an enormous advantage.
“Damn you!” Black Feather True Lord spat bitterly.
Boom!
Heavenly thunder poured down like a raging torrent, forcing Black Feather True Lord to turn his full attention back to the tribulation.

Having inherited the will of the Doom Star, Huo Guang gently raised one hand.
Rumble!
The eight golden dragons formed from the energy of the dragon veins suddenly lifted their heads. As though drawn by Huo Guang, they all turned to look at him.
“Excellent!” Mr. Wen Ruo’s face lit up with delight.
But the joy lasted only an instant before his expression changed drastically.
“Quickly, withdraw your control!” Mr. Wen Ruo cried out.
“Hm?” Huo Guang was startled and immediately halted his manipulation of the eight golden dragons.
“Mr. Wen Ruo?” Huo Guang looked at him in confusion.
Mr. Wen Ruo, however, was staring fixedly at the World-Calming Stone below—or, more precisely, at the Great Wonder Immortal Master standing above it.
His strange reaction drew the attention of the powerful figures in every direction, and many turned to look.
Mo Yuxi once again carried Yan Chuan into the sky, where he gazed toward the Great Wonder Immortal Master atop the World-Calming Stone.
The Great Wonder Immortal Master slowly opened his eyes.
“He… he’s awake!”
“Is he alive?”
“This is bad! This is very bad! That’s the Great Wonder Immortal Master!”
Around them came cries of shock.
The Great Wonder Immortal Master had awakened!
Still seated cross-legged, he raised his head and gazed at the heavens.
“The nine stars of the Northern Dipper aligned in a chain? Heaven’s will indeed!” the Great Wonder Immortal Master sighed bitterly toward the sky.
“Wen Ruo pays his respects to the Great Wonder Immortal Master!” Mr. Wen Ruo said with utmost reverence.
“Muye pays his respects to the Great Wonder Immortal Master!” Muye King also saluted respectfully.
Greetings rang out from every direction.
The Great Wonder Immortal Master slowly rose to his feet and stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He surveyed the surroundings, then looked at Huo Guang and revealed a complicated, bitter smile.
“The Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus is an ultimate evil from beyond the heavens. Do you not know this?” the Great Wonder Immortal Master sighed softly.
“Great Wonder Immortal Master, this geomantic formation has already been broken. The Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus can no longer be guarded. We ask that you grant us access!” Mr. Wen Ruo said respectfully.
The Great Wonder Immortal Master studied him for a moment before slowly shaking his head.
“My mission is to guard the Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus. As long as I remain here, no one may touch it!”
“Stop wasting words on him. Everyone, attack together! If we drag this out, more and more experts will arrive!” Muye King suddenly shouted.
As he spoke, Muye King thrust out a palm toward the Great Wonder Immortal Master.
A purple palm print roared through the air toward him.
“Hm?” The Great Wonder Immortal Master’s eyes widened.

He met the attack with a single palm.
Boom!
The void trembled. Muye King’s palm print shattered with a thunderous blast.
“Attack!”
“Attack!”
Shouts rang out from every direction as the gathered forces flew toward the Great Wonder Immortal Master.
They could not obtain the Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus for the moment, but they had to seize the World-Calming Stone first. It was an invaluable treasure for refining an immortal artifact.
“Hmph!”
The Great Wonder Immortal Master gave a cold snort.
Whoosh!
His figure blurred, and eight identical Great Wonder Immortal Masters suddenly appeared around him.
All eight simultaneously moved to intercept the nearly twenty divine-realm experts flying in from every direction.
Rumble!
The collisions sent waves of turbulent energy raging through the air.
“Go down!” Mr. Wen Ruo manipulated the small boat, carrying Huo Guang straight downward.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
One of the Great Wonder Immortal Masters suddenly thrust out a palm. A golden skull emerged in the void and shot straight toward Mr. Wen Ruo.
A writing brush suddenly appeared in Mr. Wen Ruo’s hand. With a sweep of it, he struck at the golden skull.
Buzz!
A beam of white light, formed entirely from righteous and majestic energy, shot forward.
Boom!
The white light collided violently with the golden skull, and both exploded apart.
“Go to Yan Chuan!” Mr. Wen Ruo flicked the small boat, sending it shooting downward.
He himself wielded the brush and blocked the pursuing Great Wonder Immortal Master.
“Great Wonder Immortal Master, forgive me!” Mr. Wen Ruo called out.
As he spoke, the writing brush whirled rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it painted a landscape of mountains and rivers.
Boom!
The painted mountains and rivers bore down upon the Great Wonder Immortal Master.
“Hmph!”
The Great Wonder Immortal Master formed a hand seal. A fissure appeared in the void, and countless hellfire specters surged into the sky, rushing straight toward Mr. Wen Ruo.
The battle above erupted in an instant.
Huo Guang reached the lower region as well.
Half of the gathered experts watched the battle in the heavens, fighting over the World-Calming Stone.
The other half stared at Huo Guang, preparing to contend for the Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus.
