Chapter 184 Chapter 184: Purpose

Xu Shan took a step back, gazing at the wounded General on the ground.

The man who was filled with fighting intent...the man who rose to such a high position at such a young age... The man who received envy and worship from many citizens of the Divine Kingdom... The man who held his ground even against two artificial demons... He appeared so weak now.

He was lying on the ground, not even knowing who he was.

If given time or proper help, he could still be healed, but Xu Shan had no intention of helping him.

He grabbed the man by his throat and entered an empty nearby building, disappearing from the open street.

After ten minutes, he stepped out of the building. Back inside the building, the lifeless body of General Xue was lying on the ground. What was more peculiar was that his Celestial Spirit Mark of highest grade was missing now.

"Is it just my misconception or I'm really starting to feel the taste of the Celestial Spirits?" Xu Shan wondered.

He had noticed it quite some time ago, but whenever he devoured a high tier Celestial Spirit, he could feel a special kind of taste. The taste was nothing like he ever felt before.

Every devoured spirit had a taste of its own. The only thing common was that all those tastes were good and made him crave more.

With a quick glance, Xu Shan noticed that the other Demon had left and was making its way towards the barrier of the Core City. But that was none of his concern anymore. Gathering his energy, Xu Shan flew towards the Demon. He had a small token he took from General Xue, along with some of his blood.

At this moment, he didn't need the barrier to be broken anymore, but the commotion was still good for him.

Along the way, he saw some people engaged in battle with the second Demon. Unfortunately, the warriors this time were much weaker than General Xue, which made them have a hard time.

The City was as chaotic as it could be. And it became even worse since most of the Generals were out of the City. Some of them went to investigate the City where Xu Shan killed the City Lord while others went on trail of the Shadow Tower.

Only a few were left in the core City area. Fortunately, by now they all sensed the commotion outside, especially as the barrier around the city started cracking apart.

The Generals still in the core region felt the strange aura seeping through the barriers in the cracks.

They stepped out of their residences, only to find Guards rushing toward them, to alert them about what was happening outside.

The Generals were quickly informed that the city was under attack by known beings.

The Generals couldn't understand how the City was invaded so easily. How did these beings enter the City? And more importantly, they felt furious that the Royal Guards failed to stop these beings from reaching the core barrier.

They gathered together, exchanging concerned glances.

Another General was inside the Royal Palace, having an audience with the Queen. The woman on the throne appeared to sense something, but she didn't speak. It was as if she didn't care about such small things, at least not to the point of personally getting involved.

A Guard opened the door, intending to inform the Queen, but the woman on the throne gestured him to stop right where he was.

"Tell the other Generals to handle it. If they can't even handle this much, tell them to have an audience with me so I can personally kill them!" The Divine Queen lazily spoke.

The Guard respectfully stepped back, his back covered in sweat. He respectfully closed the door.

The General who was on one knee before the Divine Queen was the same person who had attacked Xu Shan from behind, in the world of Alchemy. Even he appeared unphased about what was happening outside, completely ignoring the constant earthquakes.

He didn't even dare to raise his head before the Divine Queen. In this world, there was only one person he was scared of, and that was the woman on the throne.

"How's the preparation?" the Woman asked, lazily playing with a small crystal sphere in her hand.

Not too far from the throne, there was an Ice Dragon Heart, placed like a decoration. It was the heart of the Dragon that had betrayed the kingdom a long time ago. It was the same Dragon that Xu Shan had tamed.

The Dragon was killed right before Xu Shan's eyes and he couldn't do anything. Its heart was brought back to the Divine Realm by the General along with the Celestial Lotus.

"The preparations are moving smoothly. The Formation is almost completed, as per your instructions. But, as I don't know what that formation is for, I can't check if everything is done correctly or not," the General spoke.

He still remembered the moment when the Divine Queen simply gave him the exterior of a random formation and told him to finish its creation. He had asked what that formation was for, since what the Queen gave him was something akin to an outer shell.

The Divine Queen kept the core pattern to herself, which made all the difference.?Because of that, not a single person knew what that formation was for.

When the General had asked her about the purpose of this formation, he still remembered her scary gaze. At that moment, he felt as if he was going to be killed if he didn't stop. From that moment, he never asked again.

"Just do the task I gave you. As for its purpose, all of you will know soon," the Divine?Queen spoke, as she looked over her loyal General with an air of invincibility around her.

The General could sense that there was something larger at play, and he trusted that the Divine Queen had her reasons for keeping the core pattern a secret. With unwavering loyalty, he nodded.
