Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 564 - 547: The Returning Arrow

Zhao He and the nearby Demon looked at each other, puzzled.

What does Huqiu Fortress have to do with Zhou Leng?

Could one of the three heroes of Huqiu be Zhou Leng in disguise?

As a Divine Spirit, the Celestial Calamity Envoy has an extremely high vision.

It’s rare to hear him praise anyone.

Among the young generation of Demons, he only praised Deep Dark Fury once, and that was only because of the other’s spine-headed Demon Dragon bloodline.

Other than that, not to mention Innate, even among the Grandmasters of the Ten Realms, he pays no attention.

Among humans, he has only praised Zhao Dongjun as "an unparalleled lord, a talent of all nations," the rest of the Martial Saints, he doesn’t even bother to remember their names.

In the context of the starry sky, "nation" at least controls a side of the "Great Depth Field." Each side of the starry sky deep field is composed of multiple supergiant galaxy clusters.

Others may not be aware of the status of the Celestial Calamity Envoy, but these Demons are very clear.

Several Lords in Demon Purgatory are actually incarnations of Divine Spirits, their true forms are well-known even in the cosmic starry sky.

But even so, their attitude toward the Celestial Calamity Envoy is obviously not ordinary.

Rumor has it that the Celestial Calamity Envoy is not only powerful but also has unfathomable backgrounds.

Everyone looked at Zhou Leng, their hearts filled with both envy and jealousy.

Zhao He wanted to recruit him but was extremely cautious, becoming more and more entangled.

They closely watched Zhou Leng and Blood Axe’s battle, the more they watched, the tighter their brows furrowed.

At the life-and-death moment, both sides were going all out, holding nothing back.

The battle couldn’t be said to be one-sided, but Blood Axe truly had no power to fight back.

The Dragon Bone Knight’s Spear in Zhou Leng’s hand was like a long mace, requiring no intricate spear and staff techniques, only speed and ferocity.

Strike, sweep, stab; eighty percent of the moves consisted of just these three.

Yet as strong as Blood Axe was, he couldn’t get close.

From start to finish, he was using the axe to block.

Bang... Bang... Bang...

"Might as well switch to a shield," muttered a small Demon.

The experienced saw the tricks, just a short while and they figured it out.

It’s not that Blood Axe was too weak, it’s that Zhou Leng was too strong.

Power crushed, speed crushed, combat awareness crushed.

Had Blood Axe been slightly weaker, he would have been smashed to pieces.

On the other side, among the Demon and human battle group, Mountain and River Origin and Zhang Xinglie occasionally glanced over, growing more delighted with each look.

After hundreds of moves, everyone saw that Zhou Leng’s hands had slight wounds but healed quickly.

While Blood Axe, his arms had hundred of cracks that couldn’t heal, resembling dozens of eye-like wounds, terrifyingly grotesque.

His hands started to tremble, unable to hold the giant axe steadily.

The Demons were silent.

Except for Deep Dark Fury, no one could defeat Blood Axe like this.

The Son of Demi-God Beastman was defeated in pure power by a human Martial Artist.

"He has at least passed two layers of trials. Most likely, he is undergoing the Third Layer Celestial Tier Trial." Deep Dark Fury sighed.

"That’s unlikely, those are the Third Layer Celestial Tier Trial, and they overlap with the Divine Spirit Trial." Zhao He muttered.

Deep Dark Fury said, "Nothing is impossible. I too completed two layers of trials, but for the Third Layer, I simply gave up; it’s impossible to achieve. Without the divine grant from the Second Layer Trial, he couldn’t possess such powerful strength."

Some Demons glanced at the Celestial Calamity Envoy, who didn’t refute Deep Dark Fury but looked rather intrigued.

It seems, it’s very likely true.

However, most of the time, the Celestial Calamity Envoy was observing the battle on the other side.

Everyone noticed he was particularly interested in Zhang Xinglie, even having previously interchanged some topics about the Tujun Star Stele with Zhang Xinglie.

However, he criticized Zhang Xinglie, seemingly intimate, yet somewhat like sarcastic mockery, feeling extremely odd.

After two hundred moves, Zhou Leng put away the Dragon Bone Knight’s Spear, rushing toward Blood Axe barehanded.

All over his body, light surged, weaving into a thick Taiqing Sea Robe.

Everyone’s spirit surged, big things were coming.

Even the gaze of the Celestial Calamity Envoy shifted away from Zhang Xinglie, turning to Zhou Leng.

Blood Axe also put away his giant axe and then fled.

"I can’t beat you, if you kill me, my mom is sure to avenge me! I’m my mom’s most beloved child; if you kill me, she’ll slaughter your entire clan!"

The tall and muscular green-skinned Orc ran straight toward White Lake, shrinking into a Goblin as he ran.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhou Leng chased a few steps, helplessly stopping.

A few Demons suddenly felt a little envious of Blood Axe; having a demigod mom is so good.

In Demon Purgatory, ninety-nine percent of Demons either have no mom, no dad, or neither mom nor dad.

Zhou Leng turned and rushed toward where Zhang Xinglie and Mountain and River Origin were fighting.

The three Demons who followed Blood Axe pretended to run a few steps, then chased from behind.

During the running, Zhou Leng retrieved the Demonized Watch from the Magic Spirit Bag, glancing at Zhang Xinglie’s recent message.

Upon seeing it, he nodded from afar toward Zhang Xinglie who was looking over.

The two parties got closer and closer.

Suddenly, Zhang Xinglie and Mountain and River Origin burst with True Qi, leading the last three people to break through the encirclement, congregating with Zhou Leng.

Three people stayed behind, fighting while retreating.

Zhou Leng pulled out a long Dragon Bone Spear, smashing it wildly without thinking.

There were many Demons, very strong, but none could withstand the terrifying power.

Slowly, they grew further from the Celestial Calamity Envoy and the others.

The Demons secretly glanced at the Celestial Calamity Envoy but dared not speak.

The few ran a full ten kilometers before the Celestial Calamity Envoy finally spoke leisurely.

"The enemy of God is also the enemy of wind."

A violent wind surged, an invisible force fell upon Zhou Leng and the other six.

The six were shocked to find that as soon as they tried to escape outside, they would hit an invisible barrier, greatly reducing their speed and even their Body and Step Technique were weakened.

```

They could proceed in other directions, completely unaffected.

The six people looked at each other.

Being obstructed at this level of battle, continuing the retreat would undoubtedly lead to death.

"Indeed worthy of a divine spirit," Zhang Xinglie sighed.

"Let me cover the rear," said Mountain and River Origin.

Zhou Leng said, "Do you really think we can escape from a god? Today, there’s no other way."

"Then let’s kill them all, kill the Celestial Calamity Envoy!" Zhang Xinglie growled.

"Kill!" Blood light filled Zhou Leng’s eyes.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The six suddenly turned like arrows and shot straight at the Celestial Calamity Envoy.

Even the Demon couldn’t stop them, showing signs of defeat.

"Go, you all,"

The Celestial Calamity Envoy’s body summoned all the demons forward, including Deep Dark Fury with a conflicted expression.

The Desecration Demon Scripture acting as advisor stood aside without moving.

Zhao He took a step forward, then slowly retreated.

As Deep Dark Fury and the last Demons pressed in, Zhou Leng’s group felt their breath scatter.

One Deep Dark Fury was already hard to handle, not to mention multiple Innate Kings, unimaginable.

These demons, each had passed the First Layer Trial and gained significant benefits from the Second Layer Trial as well.

Their strength far surpassed when they first entered.

Once leaving the Great Battlefield, they would be groomed by various clans to become demigod candidates.

The world’s top innate power gathered here.

As they approached, Deep Dark Fury said, "Step aside, that Giant, leave to me."

The crowd looked at Mountain and River Origin, who said, "I’ll duel him alone, to prove that among the Ten Realms, Giants rank first, Giant Dragons second."

After speaking, Mountain and River Origin charged at Deep Dark Fury.

The other Demons did not interfere.

One was an outstanding Giant, the other the undisputed top innate Dragon Race from the Ten Realms.

In an instant, Mountain and River Origin’s body fractured, increasing in height, soon breaking through ten meters.

From the cracks flowed not blood but lava.

He swung a massive totem column like a Molten Giant at Deep Dark Fury.

Deep Dark Fury’s thirty-meter-tall figure loomed like a dark cloud in the sky.

He arrogantly hovered in the air.

A crown similar to Zhou Leng’s appeared above his head.

A gigantic golden gem split the flesh, slowly emerging from his forehead.

The golden gem, resembling a vertical great eye, had black cracks within, emanating overwhelming magic power.

Zhou Leng and others saw and sighed inwardly.

Half-Divine Artifact, Golden Eye.

Even if Deep Dark Fury wasn’t a Grandmaster, using even a small part of the Half-Divine Artifact’s power would crush all innate.

Deep Dark Fury crossed his forepaws over his chest, the Golden Eye suddenly shone.

One, two, three...

A total of ten star-patterned magic arrays stood behind him.

With a slight nod, a top-shelf innate spell flew out from each array. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Great Destruction Flame transformed into a fifty-meter-high colossal fire pillar, striking Mountain and River Origin.

The Endless Cold Domain froze the land within a kilometer radius, cold air permeating.

The Prolonged Cone Mountain made the terrain within three hundred meters mutate, dense rocky spikes perpetually emerging from the underground, stabbing at Mountain and River Origin.

The Dark Evil Winds encircled Mountain and River Origin altogether, like hundreds of ropes pulling him from all directions.

Rotting Swarms collided and exploded near Mountain and River Origin, corroding his flesh with intense spells.

The Dim World, Mirror of Chaos, Death Whisper...

All ten spells attacked Mountain and River Origin simultaneously.

The magic arrays hovered mid-air, releasing a storm of spells.

Mountain and River Origin seemed like a child in a hurricane, unable to move.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie couldn’t care about Mountain and River Origin, for the Demon Warlocks took action.

Soon, they were separated by a sea of demons.

One fell, then another.

Within mere minutes, three others were down.

The human squad had only Zhou Leng, Zhang Xinglie, and Mountain and River Origin left.

Zhou Leng glanced at Mountain and River Origin, overwhelmed by Deep Dark Fury’s spells, unable to counter.

Mountain and River Origin repeatedly used spears in his attacks, to no avail.

Deep Dark Fury’s strength far exceeded imagination.

Seeing Mountain and River Origin’s wounds rapidly increase and his aura weaken, Zhou Leng said, "Zhang Xinglie, assist Mountain and River Origin; leave the rest of the demons to me."

"Can you do it?" Zhang Xinglie shouted.

"It’s the best choice," Zhou Leng replied.

Zhang Xinglie took a deep look at Zhou Leng, saying nothing, and charged at Deep Dark Fury.

The remaining Demons closed in for the kill.

A total of twelve Innate Kings, with over fifty top Great Innates, besides multiple Demon Warlocks.

Zhou Leng seemed deeply mired in a massive quagmire.

The Taiqing Sea Robe shattered entirely, leaving shimmering specks across his body, like fragments of a mirror.

His flesh boiled like rotten meat, being torn by external forces, yet constantly squirming and healing, endlessly churning.

The besieging demons weren’t some easy targets but top innate powerhouses from the Ten Realms.
