Chapter 1532: Divine Sound Earns Merits

Pong! Pong! Pong! Pong!

Along with the cool winds, holes began to open in the ground below. One by one, Lunar Beasts emerged from the ground. From where he was, the horizon that Jiang Yi saw was suddenly covered with Lunar Beasts, bathing in the red light from above. There were at least tens of thousands of them flying upwards.

What’s more, they were not just appearing below Jiang Yi. He used his divine senses to scan everything within a five-hundred-kilometer distance and found that Lunar Beasts were emerging from everywhere. The entire Purgatory Mystic Realm had become a playground for these Lunar Beasts. The group was as dense as ants, occupying every empty space there was!

“Wuu-wuu!”

Countless Lunar Beasts cried out in a ghostly manner. The green gas flowing out from their noses and mouths became red gas instead. This red gas entered through their mouths, and—at last—was breathed out through their noses, forming rings. It was obvious that these Lunar Beasts could absorb the red light. Perhaps there was some sort of special energy in this red light that could make them much more powerful.

“Art of Concealment!”

The moment the Lunar Beasts appeared, Jiang Yi immediately employed the Art of Concealment. However, it proved to be futile. Countless Lunar Beasts continued to charge towards him. All he could do was get out of concealment and rest in midair. He rested his guqin on his legs and rested both of his hands on the guqin. With a single hand, he pulled the third string of the guqin.

Clang!

A clear sound rang throughout the realm. The Lunar Beasts charging towards him all paused at once, causing Jiang Yi’s eyes to light up. Lunar Beasts were beasts with soul spirits. What’s more, they had some intelligence. The Divine Sound Heaven Skill could affect them!

Clang, clang! Clang! Clang!

Jiang Yi quickly plucked the strings of the guqin, causing sound to flow out from it and spread out in all directions. He did not need to care about harming anyone else. This was because all the Sword Emanations Race beings had no soul spirits. They would not be in the least bit affected.

“Big Ferocious, this sound is very strange. I cannot take it…”

The Heaven-Swallowing Beast, which was standing beside Jiang Yi, could not take it any longer. Its expression was a mask of pain. Without waiting for Jiang Yi to say anything in response, it burrowed into the Fire Spirit Pearl located in the Fire Dragon Sword attached to his bag.

Jiang Yi had no time to tend to Heaven-Swallowing Beast at that moment. Instead, he continued playing the guqin, causing all the black Lunar Beasts around him to slow down. The light in their eyes was flickering, and their expressions looked pained.

Clang, clang! Ring, ring! Kuang, kuang!

The song that Jiang Yi was playing was not in the least bit beautiful. In fact, it sounded jarring to the ears. It was torturous, and there was no melody about it. There was no need for there to be a melody when he was playing for beasts. They probably did not have many emotions either. All Jiang Yi needed to do was cause pain in their soul spirits, so that their speed and battle skills would be greatly affected.

“Sword Emanations King, make them act now!”

Jiang Yi roared. He instructed the Sword Emanations King to activate the Sword Emanations Race beings. The Sword Emanations King steered all hundreds of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings towards the Lunar Beasts to attack them. The hundreds of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings shot outwards, forming a circular formation. They attacked at the same time, shooting the ten thorns out of their backs, filling the sky with what looked like a rain of blades. Then, the blades shot out in all directions.

Damn!

Jiang Yi used his divine senses to look around, and his expression changed immediately. The Lunar Beasts were disgustingly fast, powerful, and strong. Even their defensive powers were disgustingly good. The Sword Emanations Race beings’ sky full of blades could not even penetrate them. All they did was injure the low-grade Lunar Beasts. The blades that landed on the high-grade Lunar Beasts did not even pierce through their skin; instead, they rebounded back and dropped to the ground.

This world had always been fair!

Humans, for example, had extremely high intelligence. However, their physical bodies and soul spirits were exceptionally weak. Many Chaos Beasts, on the other hand, had heaven-defying defensive powers, aggressive attacks, or powerful soul spirits. However, very few of them were all-rounded.

The Lunar Beasts’ claws were extremely sharp, and their speeds were unbelievable. Logically, their defensive powers should not have been so strong. Unexpectedly, however, they turned out to be terrifying. The high-grade Lunar Beasts were even more frightening: each of them was akin to King-Ranked martial artists donning supreme-grade battle armor!

Of course…

What were comparable to King-Ranked martial artists were just their speed and defensive powers. Their real attacks were probably a far cry from King-Ranked martial artists. At the very least, they only had one kind of attack: their claws. They did not know any mystical ability; neither were they very intelligent.

What should we do?

The Lunar Beasts below kept getting closer and closer and were about to meet the Sword Emanations Race beings. From afar, the countless Lunar Beasts were also rushing towards Jiang Yi. If they got too near to the hundreds of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings, the latter would quickly be cut into pieces. There were too many high-grade Lunar Beasts; there were at least hundreds of them. How could the Sword Emanations King alone fend them off? If they got too close to him, he would be reduced to pieces as well.

“Risk it!”

Jiang Yi was going all out now. His eyes were crazed, and fresh blood was spewing out of his mouth. As fast as the wind, he plucked the strings of the guqin and caused it to release a jarring noise. The sound was much louder than before, and it was much more panicked and aggressive now. The Lunar Beasts which were nearing Jiang Yi slowed down a lot more at once. They were now only traveling at less than one-tenth of their original speed!

“Attack!”

Jiang Yi’s roar activated the Sword Emanations King. The hundreds of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings in the air began to move as well, leaving behind one hundred thousand soldiers surrounding Jiang Yi. All of them turned into streams of light as they shot towards the Lunar Beasts, mixing together with them and conducting their massacre.

The sound of Jiang Yi’s guqin was rushed and violent. The Lunar Beasts nearby were still slowing down more. Although they had sharp claws which could easily tear the Sword Emanations Race beings apart, their speeds were too suppressed. The Sword Emanations Race beings were not in the least bit affected. Therefore, the Lunar Beasts came under the attack of countless blades from the Sword Emanations Race. Although one stab was not enough to kill these beasts, countless stabs caused multiple wounds to appear on their bodies. The Lunar Beasts began to be thrown backward from the impact.

The Sword Emanations King was much more ferocious!

Although it did not have a soul spirit just like the rest of the Sword Emanations Race beings, it was a natural warrior. It instinctively knew how to fight. Jiang Yi gave it one order, and it immediately controlled the rest of the Sword Emanations Race beings to attack. There was no need for Jiang Yi to worry about much else. The Sword Emanations King and Sword Emanations Race beings knew how to fight on their own. They knew from the beginning how to destroy the enemy.

The Sword Emanations King’s sword-like arms danced around in the air. Each time it struck, hundreds of swords flew out. The high-grade Lunar Beasts had frightening defensive powers, but the swords that the Sword Emanations King was releasing were no ordinary swords. Even against these high-grade Lunar Beasts, they could cause serious injuries. What’s more, he was attacking at top speed. Each time he attacked, he aimed at the same spot. Even divine weapons would be broken apart by this strategy.

Bang, bang, bang!

Each time the Sword Emanations King attacked, it made significant progress. Each Lunar Beast that it attacked had its head split into pieces, and its body dismembered into two halves.

Of course!

If Jiang Yi had not been suppressing the beasts with the sound of his guqin, the Sword Emanations King would not have had such an easy time. What’s more, if its body came under attack by the Lunar Beasts, nobody knew if it would be ripped into pieces.

Even so…

The number of Sword Emanations Race beings that were being destroyed kept increasing. More and more Lunar Beasts were gathering here. Without having to count them, Jiang Yi was sure that there were at least a hundred thousand. A hundred thousand Lunar Beasts were crowded with hundreds of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings. The Lunar Beasts could easily attack those Sword Emanations Race beings with a sweep of their hands. The Sword Emanations Race beings had no soul; they did not know how to allocate manpower or set up formations. They did not know battle techniques and how to rescue the remaining Sword Emanations Race beings either.

In just two minutes, a hundred thousand Sword Emanations Race beings had already been destroyed, and this number was still increasing as time went by. On the other hand, less than one-third of the army of Lunar Beasts had been destroyed. Still, a significant number of them were injured.

“Wuu-wuu!”

From afar, countless more Lunar Beasts charged towards Jiang Yi. The situation was becoming more severe.
