Chapter 846: Chapter 653 Not What It Used to Be + Chapter 654 Racing Against Time_2
’A simple, casual attack, yet it nearly broke my Unbreakable Black Tortoise Divine Ability—how is this possible?’
Yue Chengtian forced himself to suppress the nausea churning inside him. Feeling the faint weakness spreading deep within his body, he knew another year or so of his lifespan had quietly slipped away. Despite the agony tearing at his heart, he no longer cared about preserving his dignity and bellowed: "General Xiao, if not now, then when?"
He certainly wasn’t planning to harm his allied forces.
But sensing the mounting crisis, he could afford no more reservations.
As he called for reinforcements, he raised his Golden Gun high, and the sea-green waters surged and sank around him. Wisps of Blood Fiend Qi gathered from the eighty thousand troops behind him, roaring as it enveloped his body.
Without hesitation, he pressed his foot down lightly, charging headfirst toward a faint blue Sword Light hurtling toward him.
Before the battle began, he had discussed with Xiao Yuanfang the critical point of this confrontation—it lay entirely with Zhou Ping’an. As long as this man was eliminated, the rest were negligible.
Their plan was clear: one would focus on defense while the other would launch the attack. They would abruptly unleash their full strength to catch their opponent completely off guard.
Their absolute priority was to prevent the battle from degenerating into a drawn-out confrontation where armies would lose blood in mutual slaughter.
After all, Yue Chengtian had noticed something crucial.
Under the leadership of Zhou Ping’an, the combat power of the Ping’an Army was elevated by several times.
This wasn’t merely a boost in strength.
The improvement was all-encompassing—from reaction speed, to physical defense, to offensive power and frequency, as if each individual had ascended a Cultivation Realm.
This phenomenon baffled everyone, yet no one dared to face him head-on anymore.
Confronting an adversary who could forcibly elevate an entire army by a full realm was something even the battle-hardened Northern Garrison, who had stood through countless life-and-death slaughters with the Barbarian Army, couldn’t endure.
"Strike the king to capture the bandits."
"Slay the generals to decimate the enemy..."

"Traitor, prepare to die!"
As Yue Chengtian charged forward desperately, his Unbreakable Barrier surged upward.
The skies suddenly brightened.
Countless blazing Golden Flames converged from all sides, transforming into a heaven-covering, sun-blocking golden bird.
The bird tilted its head back and let out an ear-piercing cry, producing sounds of dragon-song and elephant-roar. Its golden eyes flashed radiantly, as a streak of rainbow light pierced through the watery curtain, slashing toward Zhou Ping’an.
Only then did everyone see clearly.
It wasn’t a bird at all.
Rather, it was an old general dressed in Golden Armor, with flowing whiskers and an air of unmatched majesty.
The weapon in his hand, as sharp as a bird’s beak, was shrieking as it pierced to within three spans of the White Tiger.
Fast.
Fierce...
That streak of golden light, a solitary arc, ignited the entire void into a searing stream of brilliance that seemed to set the very heavens ablaze.
Even Bai He, the Green Lady, and others spectating from afar felt their bodies begin to burn, their muscles and bones weakening, and their blood boiling as if from the intense heat—even at a distance of a hundred spans.
"What an exquisite display of the Golden Sun Divine Radiant Light Ability."
Zhou Ping’an couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Had he not refined his Star Spirit Body to Perfection and developed Divine Skills—
Facing this combined offense and defense strategy, today might have truly spelled disaster, forcing him to retreat a thousand miles in humiliation.
Such a favorable situation might have been lost in a single moment.
But now, things were very different.
Faced with that streak of rainbow light, he neither evaded nor parried. Instead, his left hand extended outward, five fingers spread wide, intercepting the attack head-on.
The rainbow light, like a rushing torrent, collided against the jade-like palm of his hand.
Only faint starlight flickered like mist.
All the heatwaves and sharp edges seemed to vanish entirely.
The golden weapon’s physical form struck his palm next, as though crashing into a towering peak a hundred spans high. The immense impact force rippled through the air like waves, producing layer upon layer of dazzling radiance.
Xiao Yuanfang advanced quickly, but retreated even faster.
Turning sharply, the blazing three-legged bird manifestation flapped its wings furiously in a mad dash to retreat.
His hands, shaken by the reverberating force, split open at the tiger’s mouth, his arm bones fractured. In desperation, he dropped his weapon and flew backward.
At this point, any thoughts of further attack were long gone. He even wished he had never come at all and now hoped nothing more than for his two thousand Imperial Army troops to turn around and flee immediately.
’Yue Chengtian set me up! Who said this man lacked Divine Skills and couldn’t resist the Divine General’s Evil Spirit Communication ability?’
The Golden Sun, Radiant Light strike had achieved nothing—hitting the opponent felt like striking into thin air. Xiao Yuanfang realized he had encountered a steel wall this time.
’Reinforcements, I need reinforcements! This opponent cannot be fought head-on. Only a Formation Grandmaster summoning a heaven-covering formation could encircle and eliminate him.’
Hoo...
Suddenly, the sound of gale-force winds roared into his ears.
From all directions, cries of astonishment echoed.
The ten thousand Northern Garrison troops and two thousand Imperial Guards shouted in unison.
At this moment, Xiao Yuanfang felt as though the sky had darkened.
The earth trembled beneath his feet; the surrounding mountains and city seemed to shudder uncontrollably.
"Something is wrong."
As Xiao Yuanfang fled frantically, he hadn’t yet reached the Unbreakable Black Tortoise Barrier when he instinctively glanced back amidst his panic, his heart pounding erratically.
He saw a hand.
A golden hand, enormous as a mountain peak, eclipsing the skies as it hurtled toward him.
"No!"
Xiao Yuanfang roared in despair, realizing his body wasn’t moving forward but instead uncontrollably falling into the palm of that immense golden hand.
Squish...
The next moment...
Clad in Golden Armor, Xiao Yuanfang—man and armor alike—was crushed into a mist of golden light and blood by that colossal hand.
No trace of body or bone remained.
"What kind of Divine Skill is this?"
"Picking Stars and Moon."
Yue Chengtian’s face turned ashen, the surrounding silence pressing down so heavily it made his rasping voice barely audible even to himself.
In this instant, he knew there was no escape.
His Black Tortoise God Slaughter technique, best suited for clashing head-on, was painfully slow—far inferior to Xiao Yuanfang’s agility.
At this moment, Yue Chengtian could only frantically operate his Divine Skill, compressing the cyan waves around him into an impenetrable crystalline armor. Two heads, a turtle and a serpent, sprouted from either side of his own, glowing brilliantly like statues wrought from jade.
