My military branches can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 1035 - 550: The Tyrant Who Descends Amidst Flames, The Angel King with a Sword That Opens the Heavens (4K)_2

The emissaries from the Gemstone Country could see that victory was within reach, with almost all of them showing joy; only the team leader, ’Hong Shijing,’ felt something was amiss.

It wasn’t too smooth.

Rather,

"These Monster Legends, some seem too unafraid to die."

He frowned.

Yang Kong of the One-Handed Chamber of Commerce agreed, "Your Excellency is correct; a top Overlord Power like Dragon Sleep Valley certainly has the authority to command Monster Legends, making them fearlessly rush to their deaths, but... even for Dragon Sleep Valley, Legends aren’t expendable cannon fodder, at least, they shouldn’t be continuing to sacrifice these legends in such a blindly courageous charge under these clear, hopeless circumstances."

"Not only that, throughout the battle, we’ve almost only seen wild legends, legends of various races; the primary forces of Dragon Sleep Valley’s Direct Lineage, the ’Flesh Giant Dragons’, are few and far between, and not a single World-Level Grand Duke of the Hunt has made an appearance."

He paused and continued, "Logically speaking, in a war of this level, Dragon Sleep Valley would deploy a large number of Flesh Giant Dragons as their main force, and there should be at least one Grand Duke of the Hunt overseeing the situation. To command such powerful creatures as Hell Demons and Spider Queens, none other than a Grand Duke of the Hunt would suffice."

At this point, a few other legends from the Gemstone Country also realized something was off.

Indeed, the Direct Lineage forces of Dragon Sleep Valley were quite distinctive, yet almost absent from the battlefield.

This was very strange, as if there was some conspiracy at play.

Hong Shijing furrowed his brows, but still could not figure out what the conspiracy could be. What kind of scheme could possibly lead Dragon Sleep Valley to willingly sacrifice one legend after another?

Yang Kong’s sense of unease deepened.

If a Grand Duke of the Hunt appeared, even just one, Tianyuan City might have a chance to hold out.

But if... if...

He swallowed hard, voicing the unsettling guess in his mind, "I think this might be some kind of ceremony, some sort... some kind of ritual that could bring forth a higher being."

"The fall of these legendary creatures is the ritual! But such a vague concept cannot support a proper ritual; there must be more precise, specific steps in place to establish a connection with a definite entity."

He had thought about stopping the fall of the monsters, but it was impossible.

Dragon Sleep Valley sending these legends to their deaths was an overt plot; they couldn’t prevent such a plot.

To not annihilate the monsters, would they just let these terrifying legends flatten Tianyuan City?

Allowing these creatures to wreak havoc might also activate the ritual’s backup plan, preparing the enemy even more.

This couldn’t happen.

"We must discover this more precise ritual concept and destroy it! Otherwise... otherwise..."

Sweat began to bead on Yang Kong’s forehead.

’Such is a person from the One-Handed Chamber of Commerce.’

Isloa praised.

Not long ago, she too had guessed and gradually confirmed the existence of a ritual in progress.

But as Yang Kong, the Legend, had said, merely detecting the presence of the ritual wasn’t enough; they had to find out the key element of the ritual and destroy it, or else, perhaps a great terror would descend.

What exactly was this key element, this more precise concept?

Isloa also furrowed her brows.

Legend after legend, the monsters flew towards the flames like moths to a light;

Violent energies collided and burst into fireworks high in the sky;

Lightning and fire intertwined midair, the burst of flames turning the darkened sky red.

’Fire?’

"Fire!"

"Perhaps it is fire, perishing within fire, the flames interweaving in the sky, all becoming..."

Her words trailed off.

At that moment... between heaven and earth, throughout the vast space of Tianyuan City, the previously faint and subtle Conceptual Power suddenly erupted like a tsunami, sweeping across the world.

To ordinary people, even legends, this concept was invisible.

But to outsiders, at this moment...

The moths flitting towards fire froze midair, flames from inside out enveloping them;

The falling corpses of the legends, catching fire from the friction with the air, suddenly grew a hundredfold, like a small but scorching, surging sun;

The fireworks caused by the energy collision in the sky continued to hang high, rapidly expanding instead of fading away.

Star fire, thunder fire, light fire, flowing lights...

At this moment, all forms of fire first paused in midair, then quickly magnified, and then, like a multitude of rivers flowing into the sea, plunged into the Azure Sky above.

Now, the whole sky was ablaze, redder than a burning cloud, looming over Tianyuan City, spreading beyond the city limits, reaching as far as the eye could see.

Standing on the watchtower platform higher than the city walls, the legendary figures still could not see the end of the endless flames.

It was as if the whole world was enveloped in fire.

Hundreds of miles?

Thousands of miles?

They were not sure.

Only Isloa, through special observation, faintly perceived the red flame clouds spreading over thousands of kilometers, taking the shape of a pair of wings.

It was as though a fire tyrant, too enormous to describe, had descended upon this place, spreading its wings!

Indeed, within the massive fiery wings, there was an incredibly terrifying aura rising swiftly.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

A lightning-fast conjecture flashed through Isloa’s mind, catching a glimpse of the form of something, an entity, and then the flames covering the azure sky crashed down with a thunderous roar.

All that remained between heaven and earth was the scorching red! The blazing red! The burning red! The endless red!

The envoy from the Gemstone Country, the legendary Yang Kong instinctively heightened his aura.

In the next moment,

They realized the flames that seemed to burn the entire world had not actually fallen upon Tianyuan City.

A thunderous boom!

Continuous explosions!

Yet not even a hint of heatwave hit their faces, and even the piercing red flames seemed less intense.

An illusion?

No! It was simply that the red fire covering the entire Tianyuan City was blocked outside a faint golden light screen.

At this moment, Tianyuan City was like sinking into endless magma, while terrifying and unsettling, one could also see that everything around was unscathed.

"This is the High Hunting Duke·Fire Wings!"

Yang Kong from the One-Handed Chamber of Commerce trembled as he spoke.

He looked around.

Tianyuan City was protected by a city defense enchantment, which was indeed reassuring on normal days, but, now they were faced with a High Duke.

A High Duke who could easily traverse the Great Domain, whose breath could destroy a town with just a spark!

The unease in his heart ultimately became a reality!

Isloa’s tightly furrowed brows, however, slightly relaxed.

It was better to have the enemy reveal themselves than to be hidden and unpredictable.

Indeed, she had not anticipated that the Fire Wing Duke would appear in such a manner, and there wasn’t even time to react in this sudden event. Of course, being a civil officer, she was no match for such a fierce and terrible High Duke.

This level of battle was meant for...

The moment the flames appeared, the moment unease began to spread, and the many civilians who had not yet hidden in their homes were just starting to scream, suddenly there came a reassuring feeling that spread throughout the city.

People, still afraid and anxious, no longer panicked but simply prayed silently.

Praying for a miracle.

—"When the wishes of living beings are strong enough, miracles will appear in the world."

This was the truth inscribed inside the cathedral.

Following the earlier instructions from the Lord, Lapis, holding the Sword of Judgment, slowly walked out from the depths of the cathedral.

Her eyes, shining with a lustrous golden light and immeasurably deep, looked towards the azure sky, locking onto a certain position within the sea of flames.

"Clang—"

A low hum of the sword rose, soon becoming loud and clear, echoing like the sound of heaven and earth throughout the city.

Whiter than white, a holy light, at some unspecified time, had split the sky’s blaze. A vast river of light at least a few kilometers wide, and over a thousand kilometers long, had already run through the entire domain’s sky. The sun, reappearing in the world, was just a small dot beside the mighty holy river, dimmed in comparison.

The river of light spread, rapidly purifying the flames.

The Conceptual Power, the Endless Light, illuminated the world.

The flesh giant dragon, fiery red and fierce-headed, mountainous in size, could no longer hide.

The river of Holy Light surged past.

Blood spurted from the dragon’s back.

Those massive golden-red Dragon’s Eyes suddenly constricted, the pupils like needles, fixated on a figure who had appeared at an unknown time, standing proudly barefoot amidst the holy light in the sky.
