The Dawn Army was completely wiped out!
The Light Blade Army had completely defected!
When this news reached Honorable Martial Group, it instigated a huge wave. Adding the Red Leaf Army, it was already two armies that were totally destroyed. On the battlefield, the destruction of an entire army rarely happened, because that meant that was a huge gap between both parties. After fighting Leo Constellation for so long, the number of times that an entire army had disappeared was less than when fighting with Ursa Major Constellation.
But what truly shocked Honorable Martial Group was not the destruction of the armies, but the defection of the Light Blade Army.
To control the armies and maintain the absolute loyalty towards Honorable Martial Group, Honorable Martial Group had went through many years of experience to research out the Trial of Light.
Every Saint, The various different level of elders, important army personnels, the various branches’ backbones, were all requested to swear absolute loyalty to the Martial Group, and every oath ceremony would have a Trial of Light implanted in their martial spirit.
As long as someone betrays the Martial Group, the Trial of Light would activate and burn the traitor’s martial spirit, causing the traitor to experience a hellish pain. To achieve a disciplinary result, the Trial of Light would not instantly kill the traitor, but instead continuously burn them, causing them to be in between the state of light and death, and the longest time it took for this process was 72 years. In these 72 years, the traitor was unable to commit suicide, and could only howl in grief, and only after 72 years did his body and soul extinguish.
After the creation of the Trial of Light, it became a weapon that strengthened Honorable Martial Group. And since then, there were very few instances where anyone betrayed the Martial Group, many of them were more willing to commit suicide, or die together with their enemies, and never agreed to surrender. This also made the martial artists extremely brave and fanatical in battles, that was why many of the bigger constellations were not willing to cross swords with them.
Honorable Martial Group had not experienced a betrayal for around 300 years already, especially that the two were the most important personnel of the army, it was a collective declaration of desertion!
Honorable Martial Group was obviously furious.
The 3rd Gold Branch bore the brunt of the blame, You Li was suspended from his duties, his Vice-Master was also suspended, all of the gold ranked martial artists were faced with imprisonment and investigations. Very quickly, information regarding Ye Shou Xin and Mo Lei was retrieved and sent to every single Elder’s hands. From the information, it was fine that Ye Shou Xin fell, he was not birthed from the Martial Group. But, Mo Lei was a true blue Honorable Martial Group martial artist, the blood that flowed in his veins was the true orthodox Honorable Martial Blood, his father was an old member of the 3rd Gold Branch, and had died in battle.
Mo Lei inherited his father’s wishes and joined the 3rd Gold Branch, quickly displaying astonishing talent and bravery, and always performed well in consecutive battles. He was the gold ranked martial artist with the most military service in the entire 3rd Gold Branch, and because of his outstanding performance, when the Light Blade Army was formed, he was mentioned to be the Deputy Commander to Ye Shou Xin.
In the Elders’ eyes, Mo Lei was a direct descendant of a Honorable Martial Group martial artist, and was considered as the most trustworthy martial artist, his loyalty was without doubt. But, if even Mo Lei, a true blue Honorable Martial martial artist defected, then who wouldn’t?
The Isolation Imprisonment of the 3rd Gold Branch attracted the attention of the other Gold Branches. Very quickly, the news of Mo Lei’s betrayal was spread, causing an uproar in Honorable Martial Group. All of the martial artists who had interacted with Mo Lei before did not believe the information at all. To them, even though the last person that would stand fighting for the Martial Group might not be him, but the last 1,000 people to fight for Honorable Martial Group, Mo Lei would definitely be one of them!
How could a person like him possibly betray the Martial Group?
In a short span of time, three armies had disappeared consecutively, that also meant that Three of the Gold Branches would suffer heavy losses. Red Leaf Army belonged to the 10th Gold Branch, Dawn Army belonged to the 11th Gold Branch, Light Blade Army belonged to the 3rd Gold branch. Adding the recently destroyed 9th Gold Branch by Leo Constellation and the recently struck 7th Gold Branch.
Out of the 12 Gold Branches of Honorable Martial Group, 5 of them were already sustaining heavy injuries.
That year, when The Honorable Martial group created the 12 Gold Branches, it was with wild ambitions. It was clear that from the “12”, the Gold Branches were the core strength meant to fight against the 12 Ecliptic Palaces. Who knew that after the [Temple] was created, the 12 Gold Branches would have higher hopes placed on them by the Honorable Martial Elders. The gold ranked martial artists preserved the balance in the cruel competition. They possessed strong fighting capabilities, and allowed the Elders to be more at ease.
But, in the blink of an eye, out of the 12 Gold Branches, only 7 of them were completely intact.
Was this the high hopes placed on the Gold Branches?
Out of the remaining 7 Gold Branches, the most anxious would be the Raging Inferno Army that belonged to the 5th Gold Branch. Out of the 4 armies that were placed to fight Ursa Major Constellation, only the Raging Inferno Army remained.
And the Raging Inferno Army was already made to stop advancing and wait for the saints behind to link up.
The reason why the Dawn Army was destroyed was because of one important reason, that was because they penetrated deeply alone by themselves, advancing forward alone, without any protection of saints, they were swallowed whole by the enemy’s mechanical army. This verdict was widely accepted by everyone.
Following the progress of the war, the relationship between the armies and saints, instead of being more estranged, actually became even more intimate.
Wars would always change people’s perspective.
The Honorable Martial Group did not make another move. They stayed and waited, waited for the Raging Inferno Army to link up with the 10 saints, and waited for the 15 saints that moved out from the [Temple] to fight with the independent saints Tang Tian led.
The formation of the gold grade armies were not considered failures, but it was obvious they were not enough to allow the higher ups of Honorable Martial Group to feel safe.
The battles between the saints were the true highlights of the show!
*******
In the Martial Spirit Chamber, inside the Forceful Subjugating Bead, there was another intense battle caught in a deadlock.
The Spirit Devouring Flame wrapped around the Trial of Light, but the Spirit Devouring Flame was unable to suppress the Trial of Light, instead it was even being eroded by the Trial of Light.
Little Fool did not know what the Trial of Light was about, but he could sense the immense danger from it!
The light aura of the Spirit Devouring Flame was getting weaker, while the Trial of Light was more pure and gentle, becoming increasingly dangerous, Little Fool who was enveloped by the flames, knew he could no longer wait!
Without hesitating, he went into the Forceful Subjugating Bead.
It was his first time entering the Forceful Subjugating Bead. The scene in his eyes turned dark, as though he was pulled into a bottomless void, just that.....
He looked blankly at the multiple light auras, they were like stars floating in the void. Inside the light aura were faintly discernible of all sorts of record fragments, fragments of crystal test tubes, variety of different colored fragments, and limbs from unknown star spirit beasts.....
Treasure Deposit!
Inside the forceful Subjugating Bead, there was actually an astonishing amount of accumulated treasures!
Little Fool was dumbstruck, his face completely full of shock.
He did not know, Gui Wu knew that it would take a long time, and since he did not know when it would happen, his saint spirit needed to be able to last inside the Forceful Subjugating Bead for a long time. To go through the flow of time, loneliness was his biggest enemy. If he had nothing to do, over a long span of time, one might go crazy, regardless if that person had willpower or not.
Gui Wu had made ample preparations.
The space inside the Forceful Subjugating Bead was big, Gui Wu created one after another of separate spaces inside the void. These independent spaces kept various sorts of collections from Gui Wu’s life, there were records, collections, and countless other things. And, to spend the time, Gui Wu had even moved his entire Blood Meridians workshop inside, and whenever he was bored, he could continue experimenting.
It was because he had prepared so meticulously that he did not go crazy, and instead, through the long months and years, he had experimented on various new ideas, and left a large quantity of products.
But no one could resist the power of time. Although he had refined out the Forceful Subjugating Bead, and it could endlessly nourish the Saint Spirit, his Saint Spirit was actually weakening in time. And his collections and products were gradually turning into dust, that was the power of time, quietly and slowly, no one could reverse it, it was cold and expressionless.
He was the only blood saint in history who was the closest to success with Forceful Subjugating, but it was a pity that he met Tang Tian who had the Zero Energy Body, his fate was unfavourable.
Little Fool regained his composure, forcing down the excitement in his heart, he knew that if he could not win against the Trial of Light, this place would become dangerous.
A devilish light aura suddenly grew in Little Fool’s eyes.
From Gui Wu’s memory fragments, he knew how to control the Forceful Subjugating Bead, and also knew that the Forceful Subjugating Bead was absolutely not a Saint Spirit Vessel, but he never expected the interior to be so vast. In every light ball was an independent space, although the majority of the collections were turned into dust, the remaining fragments was still an ultra vast large Treasure Deposit to them!
But, before anything else, he had to beat the Trial of Light!
If it was only Little Fool himself, he would definitely not touch the Trial of Light, even if he had to give up the Spirit Devouring Flame, he definitely did not find it a pity. Although the value of 2,000 star treasures was great, but now that he knew how to refine, with Tang Tian’s current wealth, he could once again refine out a new Spirit Devouring Flame.
But now that he knew of the situation inside, Little Fool had thrown the idea of giving up away.
Lusters of light aura started to appear around Little Fool, releasing a call into the void. A grey transparent ball suddenly rushed forward from the void to the front of Little Fool. Little Fool immediately entered the light ball.
The scene before him changed once again!
Inside the void were densely clustered and endless floating golden symbols, they were either stringed into golden chains, or converged into light balls, with different shapes and sizes, they were like quicksand, quietly floating in the void in all corners, with no end in sight.
Little Fool was once again dumbstruck by the scenery in front of him, So this is what one of the top three blood saints of Onyx Soul can do....
Exactly how many laws had he been enlightened with.....
But at that moment, he could not care about anything else, the grey ball was the last hiding place for the Forceful Subjugating Bead, and was also the final hub for controlling the Forceful Subjugating Bead.
Little Fool was suddenly filled with confidence.
Then i will use this to win this battle, and offer Senior Gui Wu a sacrifice!
He muttered in his heart, the grey light ball suddenly lighting up. Woosh woosh, the golden symbols and chains moved, siiii siiii, the golden colored quicksand slowly moved, the light balls made up of symbols started to move, the vast sea of laws seemingly being awakened from its long slumber.
